Look how org move and scout players. They don't even care about winning you guys are beyond f*ck
yea but having nats + one team of good players in the top players convo doesn't equate to making u the most talented region.
also if ur counting good players on avg teams, americas has oxy, cryo, keznit, s0m, mada, eeiu. mibr has been struggling recently but they have aspas and verno.
also they have players with super high peaks who may have a chance to return to their past form like yay and demon1
Difference is fnc players were actually top of their role for multiple years/seasons, chron being that before even joining fnc
Victor was always inconsistent, marved fell off hard after optic. I say this as a optic fan, optic/nrg were known for beating teams with more firepower (with the exception of yay)
alexiiik is an upgrade over koalanoob, and i think depending on how they do, navi are real contenders to make champs if they get it together quickly
they are a good core regardless of if they have comeback koalanoob or alexiiik, they have a chance with whichever duelist they have, they just need to stick it out for now and see where it goes
see i disagree. I love EMEA more than anybody and yet i cant confidently tell you that alexiik is a better player than koala and i have watched both for over 2 years now. Their styles are different maybe. Alexiik more of an entry fragger, koala the OPer. But thats it really. If someone made the argument Koala is better i wouldnt say thats a crazy take.
Their core is indeed really good but the competition is so tough. Fnatic, Heretics, Liquid, BBL all have really strong cores. KCorp with the right comps is right there with Navi already. Gentlemates built a really strong roster. Fut is still there. Even teams like giants show improvement. In the midst of all this you need to make Top 2...
I fear despite being decent the roster will blow up after this year with ange1 getting kicked due to the big money spent on this team without internationals and Shao exploring his Free agency potentially. The org Navi actually wants to win trophies. Therefore standards are set very high. They probably build 2026 around Ruxic/Hiro and start fresh.
