stop changing rosters

might just be me, but I feel like recently too many teams are changing rosters unnecessarily. Ig im just looking at DRX and Vitality but both of them I felt like could of gave their previous roster more of a chance. Vitality just won the region and came fourth in a pretty stacked masters and DRX also won their region and were building a nice young roster. Idk, I might just be wrong since teams like Gen G are working, but I feel as if some changes aren't warranted.

Am I missing something??? Plzzzzzz tell me

difference is VIT kicked trexx and went on a downward spiral

while Flashback left DRX bc he wants to take a personal break off of Valorant

but I do agree, teams are doing way too much roster changes and are doing even worse bc of it

I feel like teams don't understand how to actually make a successful roster that's why unless there's a prodigy on that team 90% of orgs go nowhere like only a few teams actually understand how to get success it's crazy

eh, can never know whats going on inside a team, for all we know VIT was having arguments every day in scrims trexx was spending every second calling them all shit and actively sabotaging the team, since its been confirmed that it wasnt trexx's individual performance that was the reason for removing him we literally have NO insite to whether it was a good move

Very very rarely a team that maintains their roster does better in their second year than they did in their first. It's been a trend in Valorant with very little exceptions

I don’t entirely disagree but your examples aren’t really good cases of this. Flashback clearly has some issues and DRX (rightfully so) would rather be slightly worse than having to worry about their player just not showing up for the game.

Trexx (no matter on what side you might be on this issue) was clearly a ticking time bomb on vitality. The internal struggles wouldve let the team to collapse at some point. CyvOph is not a bad player by any margin and I still believe this was inevitable with or without change, I think Vitality were able to impress early in the year and meta when nobody really had a read and their individuals overpowered. Their big issue now is that other teams are just so far superior on a macro level that their individuals cant bail them out anymore and everything falls apart.

There is plenty of cases though were changes are just unnecessary and the teams would’ve probably looked better if they just took the time to work on their system. Liquid Kamyk seems like an obvious case here tbh. Their team isnt bad now by any means but Kamyk has just looked better than Serial. His inconsistencies could’ve probably been worked out in the time they took to integrate their new player.

thats what set apart the experienced team with inexperienced team

FNC, PRX, G2, TH, SEN been sticking long enough to keep representing the region

now you look at Liquid they keep changing roster no wonder they always bomb out of international despite having insane roster

some teams crumble mid season due to internal conflicts, think of NRG kickoff or Vit after kickoff. I dont know what kind of conflict can arise such that it forces a roster change but that's a common reason for midseason changes. Though generally i think teams should stick it out at least a year to grow

I think RRQ is looking good with changing roster

depends the org really, teams like DRX and VIT have looked worse after roster changes but look at RRQ and BBL

drx literally did not have a choice, doesn't count
