Idk what if wo0t fucking dies tomorrow, there won't be any prime to predict

Same goes with early retirement

The prime is an imaginary concept that people invented to decide what was a player's peak to date

if kicks stays, vit lacks the presence of an actual igl, so that makes vit go from top 2 to top 5 imo

Your prime is either on the present or the past, you can't predict your prime in the future

Is not like this ranking is based of the player's prime anyway

Every player from C to A is good

I just think that he won't be better than any of them through 2025

He can be an insane duelist, there's no doubt. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be the best duelist in EMEA

I have to see him play, most of KOI players performed well after their year was already over

I can't trust him enough to put him at B

Can't put him directly at A

I don't think that performing well in tier 2 makes you a good tier 1 player

Only exception is Kaajak, because he demolished tier 2

2. Team Vitality (with ceNder)
3. Team Vitality (with Kicks)

that's why they were the best tier2 team

I think that prime Wo0t>>>>>prime marteen

But I think that marteen will peform better through the year and Wo0t will not be has insane has he was this year (which happens to most players)

I don't think they're that far, but Marteen will 100% be more impactful only for the fact that he's a duelist

😢

Xeus is pretty much locked in with FUT

Unless cNed relegates to a sub, or goes to Apeks/BBL, I don't think he will be playing next year

For that I have to believe that they are better/are at the same level than the players at b tier, which I don't think is the case for any of them

Not much of how good I think they are, but rather how I think they will perform individually through the year

Did he look like he could come back?

How well did he do? Couldn't watch the game

I didn't say I was happy this is Boaster's last year lol

I was saying that I will enjoy it regardless because you never know when he's going to retire

I didn't say anything about Chron tf

Koala plays Raze

I'm pretty sure he will play whatever Happy wants him to play

You can run Raze on Sunset for example (like Heretics)

I'd imagine that Koala will have to learn the Neon (if Happy wants him to play Neon,) or make Hiro play it

But who knows, maybe Neon becomes useless by 2025 if Riot decides to nerf her

He does play Raze. And koala either: learns how to play Neon, or hiro plays Neon

MIBR is in tier 1, do they deserve it?

M80 has been better than most "tier 1" teams since they exist

EMEA coaches. Coaches from other regions would prefer koala

Made a deep run in 2022 Challengers
Won NA's regional league three times
Placed 2nd in Ascension two times
Guy been playing since day one of the game

That was Happy

None of these options are better or as experienced as koala. Only one I could see being better than him is xeus

He can 100% be a top 4-5 duelist in the right circumstanses

And Happy is the only coach that understands him

Why is there so many?

I thought this guy was great during the year

And he made a solid performance in Ascension

The fuck did I say that is wrong

yo did you guys hear anything?

This is will be a better roster long term. Honeymoon has always helped this team

I will simply enjoy it because it might be the last year that we see Boaster competing

I wouldn't be surprise if they sign 3 rookies with a contract until 2028

For what reason

u have source so I can put it on the thread?

KR only region in the world where you can make like 3 super teams

They even have their own bootcamp (which is really rare to see coming from a tier-2 org)

They have fired a bunch of staff in the middle of the year, but firing it's better than not paying

It looks like the put the player commodity on top of everything

I'm only putting orgs that struggle finacially/mistreat employees

KOI is the combination of Movistar Riders, MAD Lions, and KOI itself. There's been no rumors about them being a shitty org

Same goes for Liquid, they are one of, if not, the biggest esport org, and there's no rumors/complains

I'm aware of this. But there's been no rumours about them not paying players, struggling to pay players, or huge financial losses (as far as I know)

Riot literally pays you to compete in tier-1, so it makes sense that they invest all they have to reach franchising

I'm sure that Apeks will return to CS as soon as they get the profit

Not paying your players is, precisely, what I would call financial issues

There was rumors about one of their main sponsors (BC.GAME) shutting down. Tanmay reported about this, but deleted it minutes later, which makes me think that it wasn't true

Just because Cloud9 doesn't spend a lot of money, doesn't mean they're at risk of bankruptcy or frauds. At the end of the day, they compete in a lot of games, so it makes sense they try to use a "small" budget as much as possible

Cloud9 pays higher salaries than most EMEA, PAC, and CN orgs. That's what competing in Americas has

just like that

Sure, I want to make a good impression in front of the vlr public

He's a good player, but there's no IGL on this team

Uuuh yeah, this super team is fucked

Yeah man... It's all my personal experience with all of these pros

People like you wouldn't understand, since I talked to all of them and I came to these conclusions
