genuinely the first T1 team to come out of T2 TGRD doesn't count they were already a T1 team they just got snubbed out of franchising
ig this goes for XLG,DRG but they might also fit that narrative of snubbed out of T1

i meant high tier T1 team like this team could go to a international i should've said "genuine" T1 team
i might've pre jinxed them i hope they make it tho might be my favorite KR team and dethrone gen.g
the different is NS (Sin Prisa Gaming) is heavy dependant on Dambi's Neon while SLT is more generic
To be fair NS / SPG dominated the neon Meta but failed to adapt in time for other changes
no like a genuine T1 team that can make it to a international did xlg do that in there ascending year hold up yeah they did SLT might actually do well at a international
might actually switch my flair for ts slt are winning the first ever non-fluke masters 1
I don't think they're good enough to beat GENG PRX T1 but they do have potential.
the match was at 5am for me so i was still sleeping but from the stats it looks like they did pretty well
imagine SLT qualified to Master but lose all Stage 2 matches and go back to Ascension
and then shit on everybody in ascension again so we get more SLT absolute cinema
XLG, DRG, Nongshim were also pretty decent
So 4th not 1st
If you dont count nongshim then still 3rd
i meant a genuine T1 team like they could go to a international and do well as much as i personally love xlg but them and the others were/would be happy to be there instead of having some hype to do well coming into there first season
yes they did but when they ascended nobody expected them to go to a international no every one thought they would be mid or above avg but SLT are going bar for bar with T1 teams in soop rn so they are gonna have insane hype in kick off
basically SLT are insane and are expected to make at least one international most other ascension teams are expected to be above average
Off season says nothing, Nongshim was insanely hyped coming into this year.. and they just had to fight for their spot again lol
100% true but i think for SLT its more valid since they are having good experience against T1 teams beforee the season while NS just dominated ascension
I wouldn't say DRG was snubbed out of tier 1 tbh, before 2023 they were kind of bad and they don't really have the brand and money that some of the other teams like BLG and JDG do.
yeah that true i worded this post badly what i meant was i think SLT are the first ascension team expected to make a international and do well while most others are expected to be above avg with this showing against top KR teams
nongshim are gonna be better than slt in 2026, slt gonna get punished hard during the season
