why are ppls saying that Hiro is benching suygetsu when he is very flex and never was a sentinel player before Fnatic, imo they could just put him on flex and keep Suygetsu (or in a Zyppan role in a way)

Lukxo is on fire now, dude is shooting like crazyyyy

o7

so Flex1n could be back to IGL ?

Ice cold Zander

truly a Lukxo moment, he has those maps where he just pops off like crazy

does it really not exist tho ? tbf nobody has watched T2 china outside of Ascension here be fr

ig Slowly if he counts since he was the sub on TYLOO, same for QiuYe who was on TEC, ZiXuan is good as well and got impressed by Midnight recently, the you have the Core GREEN and HappyWei of the world

players prob want to compete and go to ascension/T1

+16 FK/FD.... tf

19/3 FK/FD IN THE WHOLE BO3 ? LMFAO

yeah he still has a lot of work to do tho, but if he can just Neon his way and teams dont have time to adapt we might have something

hey ngl if a LATAM roster has a slump/doesnt work and they want to turn they season around, i could fs see it

AK took M80 who scrims VCT teams all year to double OT, 3rd LATAM team in VCT we trust

my friends he turns 18 in july of next year :/

he's so him mortadelo

Dante VS Sato is gonna become a classic

actual good academies then, great to see and Scarz not using the japanese talent with how much upcoming talent is appearing is quite crazy

Scarz's project is kinda odd tbf, but yeah japan has so many interesting upcoming talents

oh damn, thoughts on Satoshi ? he cooked in split 3 qualifier (and some others new players as well)

dw my FAV goats will pop off next year, in Hands and Fukuken i trust

for the ones not old enough for next year sadly : Xross Sayonara Lar0k Loita (kinda Dantedeu5/ComeBack ?) Erde Tkzin Neon Blowz Spike Aace and im probably forgetting some other players but goated talents for 2026

also check out the ARF roster, some of those guys are insane (Woody in particular)

i dont think he is a one tournament wonder, just mechanics wise and the fact that he also performed at the Predator event just before the start of the season tells me everything, idk about his flexibility tho

yeah idk either, i would take Hyunmin over TenTen if it was me but hey who knows (also with Hyunmin being korean and american he could fit in legit any fucking team in VCT that isnt speaking another language than the ones he knows)

any ideas not named PRX ? could be T1 with Saya gone no ? (and Autumn loves english speaking players ^^)

the cypher goat Margaret, he really plays it in an odd way so i wanna see him in T1

his Tyloo days were goated

2G and maybe AK ? need to wait and see how AK looks but they should be p good

maybe a T2 core ? im very scared about any brazilian IGL not named Saadhak (if you wanna count him as one), but outside of that huge upcoming talents so hope Loud recruit well with a worse budget (Sato duelist and hopefully a Brinks/Cortezia on smokers seems like a good idea for example)

i just saw RA got Freeing for Ascension, they did it again... (per their weibo post)

he's very good so deserved

dang bro, i really liked their work

nice

i remember Kaiy briefly now that you say it, but def have never heard about Noa (any new talent from Zeta for next year that i should really look out for ?)

agree lmao, the amount of talent is pure madness and there is also the polish duelist boost in tier 2, there are so many good ones from there its crazy (also there's Guardy who has always been good, had a complicated ascension tournament but has a lot of talent fs)

erm Westside is in flex sir Dork; Felix as well (def agree with the rest and there are even more names)

idk if its allowed for 2024, if yes i would expect so yeah (also you said Zeta AC had 7 players in 2023, but i only see Yuran and the 3 on riddles and ig Hiroronn, would are the others ?)

yeah, the 16 teams split is gonna be so good for regions with a lot of upcoming talent, should really put the biggest talent on the spotlight (for DFM hope they manage to play next year)

hahaha maybe they will thank you soon

hope they find players good enough, there seem to be a lot of insane new talent in japan (Kapi/Fukuken, a lot of new rosters with new players, Hands finally able to play in T2, etc)

DFM did ? great to hear even tho they seem to go more korean than japanese

im expecting Leviathan, Zeta, DRX (maybe?), T1, others idk could and prob more than expected will have an academy next year (imo there are leagues where having one is a massive adventage, for example Brazil or Latam that have a lot of unknown talents and not that many T1 orgs, Turkye as well could have numerous academies playing in it (and the korea japan, SEA could also be a very good idea with how dense the talent pool is gonna become)

great list, would prob add some names here and there but the list has already most of the names

for sure, in particular teams that already had close to a full roster loaned to another team (Leviathan for example), close to all the players on those acamedies are very young as well, so its prob more worth for them to field a full roster than 4 and 1 in another org
and others orgs that have academies not playing like DRX or T1 will prob try to play in T2

exited to see where he plays in VCL next year

Soulcas has always been insane when the games doesnt count tho

SPG hate not on my watch

yeah but imo him learning a new role is great on the long run, but def didnt looked as good fs

fr, and DaviH who lacked english speaking roleswaped, and has become very good at sova and performs in an english roster, the guy has to get a job idk what else he can do (and Fizzy is nuts !!!)
