rookie merchants

first lev now bbl smh, we need to bring back those old fossils to this game!!!!

Losing 2 back to back finals against rookies aint the same as losing to rookies in a mickeymouse.

none of the OGs are good anymore.. other than PRX
FNC fell off..
G2 down
T1 down
DRX down
TL down

Wasn't santiago also first international for most of nongshim players

a new era is coming

Most OG players left now were past prime pros in other games who are Singing their swan songs or are Nearing the end of their playing careers

Boaster
Half of the PRX roster including alecks
Ethan
Jamppi
Zellsis
Babybay
Leaf (still good but still used to play cs so hes ON THE LIST)
Asuna
The list goes on

As new talent emerges these names are going to become history. THat's just how esports and sports in general work. Efentually Ethan might realize he's getting old and decide to retire and start a new life, or go to coaching, or make his own team! Boaster might become a coach, etc etc. It's just the way it is, no pro (With some exceptions but eventually) can be on top forever. Eventually someone new, someone better will become great, and then that person will lose their crown and pass the torch to the next, and the next, and the next, until Maybe some day some valorant pros decide to switch over to the new hit FPS, or this game stays popular enough to keep rookies wanting to play.

Now people see the potential of tier 2 rosters full of rookies, like enterprise, CGN, Navi JR, NRG academy, 555 from thailand, M80, Etc. Eventually these guys are going to outshine and/or become the household names.
