nearly every NA team wouldve had an a direct upgrade if they took him (C9, G2, EG, 100T, even LEV and NRG is debatable)
why did nobody go for him i dont get it
nrg were looking at n4rrate for a while and playing with him, yay wasnt gonna happen so n4rrate was looking very likely for some time. then demon1 left eg's jail and they dropped the n4rrate idea once most teams already had their duelist situation figured. g2 had been talking with leaf for a while, c9 had oxy, 100t didnt want a new duelist, lev had tex/aspas, and eg alr had jawgemo but maybe they shouldve went in for n4rrate
all in all it just came down to timing
