most or all super teams have just gave mediocre results compared to the expectations. I just feel people should just stop using the term "super team"

Sentinels on paper people would be called a super team but I just don't feel sen winning this year I don't know why getting good placements yes but trophy winning. I think with the open qualifyers and new players coming into the scene there's just too much talent in the pool where a "super team" can't really be made anymore because of the amount of talent in the scene now because everyone can basically have a super team but if every org can make a super team with different players it's all equal defeating the purpose of a "super team" which should be way better then every other team that what makes a team super.

I've said before - superteams won't guarantee you a sustainable result for years. It all comes down to youth development and scouting sectors. LATAM & Brazil did very well lately thanks a lot to youth scouting.

Moreover, it's somehow similar to League of Legends where teams aim for superteams but failed miserably. If you count from 2015 up till now, almost every team that won Worlds has at least 1 player coming from the academy. I could count teams won Worlds lately like this:

  • 2020: Nuguri, Canyon & Showmaker all coming from Damwon youth academy.
  • 2021: Jiejie coming from EDG youth team
  • 2022: Pyosik coming from DRX academy
  • 2023 - 2025: No words to say when we all know Zeus, Oner and Gumayusi all came from T1 academy.

What's important for teams now is to invest at least in their talent scouting department. If the orgs have more money, get a youth team with the best coaches for development. Of course, this way will not guarantee you immediate success, but you will get the results later on. LOUD this year is an example.

Before superteams were kinda forced but now the managers and players have and had the time to choose who they want on their roster collectively, so superteams going in next year should be a lot better.
MIBR was a huge failure but I think LEV FNC M8 TH GEN etc should be alright and perform their value. Plus the competition just got a lot higher too.

i think lev didn't chose their players through trials and that will cost them a lot. other than lev i think others trialed tf out to chose these rosters so they will be top tier next year for sure.
