Rising NA Teams

NA has a lot of new look teams who have recently switched out at least one player. Here are a few that I think look good enough to make a run in Challengers 2.

EG: They have recently added c0m who is a good, if unexperienced, IGL. I think with Potter's guidance this team can be really good.

100T/TSM: The new look 100T and TSM teams both look good, they are pretty well structured, and I think that they will continue to improve quite a bit.

Akrew: After losing Kanpeki, Akrew have continued to look good and I think that they are still improving: dangerous team that people need to watch out for.

NRG: This is the team I'm least certain about despite the perfect run. I feel like s0m is still a little inconsistent and while they have proved they don't need him to win, they might struggle when getting duelist diffed. However, Ethan has slotted in very well and this team can definitely make it far assuming they keep form and continue to work on strats.

Notable teams I didn't mention:

Faze- This team has a lot of fragging power but I wasn't impressed by their strats, I think they will be exploited by better teams and wont do too well without BabyBay going crazy. Also, dont like Supaman too much on this team but I need to watch more of them to see if his impact is less obvious.

NYFU- They are close to making the list but I feel like they need to work on their comps and strats a bit more.

Ghost- This team gets a ton of hype but I don't see it. They seem inconsistent and their play seems kinda readable, especially given how many vods teams have access to.

I agree with a majority of this list. Ghost are too inconsistent for my liking. Before Qualifier 1 this past week, I thought they would be able to qualify easily into the Group Stage due to their dominance, but they are looking as if they are struggling a lot more now. Not sure the reason though. They have looked decent this qualifier, but I'm not sure they qualify. They are kind of an on or off team, so I can't really say that they are a rising team until they show consistency in these open-qualifiers especially getting knocked off very early in the last qualifier.

this tier 2 orgs rise helps t1 orgs

allowing t1 orgs to get talented players from t2 teams

I think Boostio is IGLing not C0M

Girl Kissers:

Vlr has c0m igling. Also, c0m igled on Akrew (Meant to respond to #5)

Ghost is still too inconsistent. NYFU looking good and girlkisser as well. They should be look at as well in T2.

You must add Sentinels, upcoming team in the scene

Soar is also slowly climbing up the ladder

i dont really agree with faze having so much firepower, i mean they only relied to babybay and dicey to frag. poised, poach and supamen are not killing machine, but they are good support to help babybay and dicey to frag. but yeah i agree, bcs they relied too much on dicey and babybay, once they aren't performed, they will struggle.
