Which country would win in a tournament where each team consists of players only from one country? I’d imagine Russia and the US putting up the hardest fight. Each team btw consists of the best possible player at each role

you say that but the only igl is rose
and he wouldn't want to play without his teammates
and you lose out on players like riens and alfa because of that
yeah, but we need riens somewhere, one of the best initiators in europe, if not itw
current bbl is winning a trophy this year tho, they have insane firepower and ofc good chem
i mean it’s hypothetical. i’d imagine he would be willing to play to represent his country even without his bbl guys
westside, grubi, starxo, profek, kamo, i think they really are a dark horse type team, if a val vc was created
valyn marries riens to get citizenship and competes as the turkey IGL and turkey win it all
Does the coach have to be Turkish? Which non-Turkish coach marries into the Turkish team
Aspas (duelist)
Less (sentinel)
Sato (flex + double duel)
Lukxo (smokes)
Artzin (flex+IGL)
your changes are good and better in terms of roles
but i just thought it would be interesting to see Aspas and Less playing with mini Aspas and mini Less
Aspas and Less is a winning team already, it doesnt matter the other 3
Won VCT Americas, 2nd Lockin, 3rd at Champions. A successful winning team
successful not winning team
for me a winning team is a team which has won an international
LOUD 2022 the fragging was evenly distributed for the most part so ya
Wdym
Leaf senti
Bang smokes
Brawk scan initiator
Zekken duelist
Ethan flash initiator + igl
I think ethan is NA’s best flash initiator, and I didn’t want too many cooks in the kitchen
i think indonesia can put up a great fight
f0rsaken
splash
kushy (igl)
monyet
xffero
6th: delb/berserx
I also thought about indo but I feel like forsaken would be doing lots of the heavy lifting
monyet or f0rsaken can switch between the smoke and duelist roles
monyet for raze and neon and forsaken for waylay and yoru, they cover most of the meta comps this way
I think these will be the top 4 lineups player wise in no order
Russia
Jemkin(Duelist)
Suygetsu(Smokes)
Chronicle(flex)
Cloud(initiator/IGL)
nAts(sentinel)
Did not pick something because of his small agent pool
USA
Zekken(Duelist/Swapping to a different agent on jett maps)
Brawk(Initiators)
Ethan(Smokes + IGL)
Leaf(Flex)
Skuba(Sentinel)
Did not pick Valyn cuz Ethan can play smokes very well and is a champions winning IGL
South Korea
Hyunmin(Duelist)
iZu(Flex)
Meteor(Sentinel)
Munchkin(Smokes/IGL)
Beyn(Recon)
I did not pick t3xture because he cant play waylay and his raze has fallen off a bit if we see his last 10 games on raze
Turkey
Lovers Rock(Duelist)
Alfajer(Sentinel/Raze)
Lar0k(Flex)
Loita(Smokes)
Rose(Initiator + IGL)
I did not pick Riens becuz of the roles and I think Rose > MrFalin
ukw fair I should change Alfa's other role to raze cuz on raze maps i prefer alfa playing raze and on other maps I prefer larok being the secondary duelist
half a bad year from trexx has done irreparable damage.
Also I think CN > Turkey but thats just me
I still wont choose Trexx cuz we need an IGL and chron objectively a better flex player who has witnessed everything an Esports player can experience in their entire careers
Also no ch1na aint better than Turkey
EDG always was a playoffs contending team just cuz they overperformed in two tournaments where the meta perfectly suited them doesn't mean they were a championship caliber team
Trexx for cloud bro, not chron
oh u put cloud on igl. I think nats is just the better igl but i might be biased. I dont rate cloud's igl that highly
I would rather have nats focus on his fragging than igling to the point I would ask chron or suygetsu to be the secondary caller like if I were the coach I would setup nats to be the team's second star fragger like aspas-less from loud 2023 and 2022 champs or kaajak - alfa in FNC
He is a good igl just the players around him are very fucking inconsistent
Like also nAts has igled his teams to a playoffs spot at an international
meanwhile Cloud in one split got a team which had the potential to qualify if they keep playing at their A- / B+ game and igled his team to a top 8 finish at champs .
nAts arguably had a significantly better team throught the year and he would always get second to last in every international so ya.
not really theres 2, maybe 3 if you think xavi is good, notable ph players the rest are mediocre
if they had a team thats not ts helping their talents develop thered be way more than that
in the current state? yea
if riot picked a team thats not ts who picked the igls wife as manager? things would be different
turkey obviously wins? they already have bbl and the chemistry diff alone puts them over. every other country youd need to construct a roster
