If I were to put together a serious one tho

Meiy (Duelist)
Tenz (Controller/Duelist flex)
Forsaken (Flex - Dude can literally play anything I s2g)
Chronicle (Sentinel)
Ethan (Initiator/Controller flex IGL)

I been around a while lmao

Qck (Duelist)
Zombs (controller)
Newzera (initiator)
Ardiis (Sage only)
Scream (Flex IGL)

This team is definitely winning every international

i fucking LOVE suzu, but I don't think she could make it ;-;

I made this post bc I was thinking about a post that I saw that said Noia was set to join MiBR with Zekken, and at first I just thought it was a joke. Then, I started thinking about how MiBR for some reason hasn't released what their roster was going to be yet, and I thought about the fact that if they were signing Noia, they wouldn't be able to say so until GC champs was done and she could be signed away from the team. Idk if it actually is real, but Noia being signed to MiBR could explain why they haven't released what their roster is going to be yet, and that got me thinking about what other GC players might be able to make it

god i wish Flor would've joined EG instead of Apex, imagine how much better her season could've been

SRG, TLV, and MiBR are the only teams that have players that I think could make it rn, they all seem like they're a cut above the rest of GC.

Also missing the point that I made saying that they shouldn't stick as a full roster if this was the case lmao. I think they've reached their peak of what they can do as a roster together, and to actually further themselves they would need to play with other teams with more experienced players. I don't think T2 is a great place for them to go bc T2 is extremely unorganized, and a lot of talent seems to just go wasted in T2, with potentials never being reached. it just doesn't make sense to go to a failing scene

where tf is KangKang?

as full rosters I would agree, but if all of these players were to join T1 teams that had competent IGL's and experienced players around them I think they would be able to at least perform to expectations of a T1 roster.

no, I think this too. I think it would require most of them to split up and join different teams that would help further their own individual performance rather than trying to stick together as a roster

it just doesn't really make much sense to go from GC to T2, T2 has the lowest funding of any of the three

Honestly I'm actually surprised by some of the players that I saw at the tournament this year, and GC players making the jump to T1 is looking more and more possible to me, with the ones that I'm specifically looking at being:

bstrdd
Daiki
Jelly
Dodonut
Noia
meL
srN
bizerra

Curious to hear other people's thoughts about it. I don't think that these players would be able to perform the same way as they do in GC obviously, but I also don't think they would just be dragging their team down if they were picked up (honestly, if a team like Furia decided to pick up like, bstrdd and Jelly their team would probably be like, 3 times better than anything they've put together since franchising started lmao)

mambo

I'm extra cringe and have a long list so sorry lmao

While I don't know what the best team for him to move to would be, I don't think it's a hot take to say he should leave DFM. Dude has SO much talent, but that team just doesn't seem to be able to form a good roster around him. I think there most definitely is a team out there that could form a roster around him and make him actually look like the insane beast he is

holy fuck there is so much wrong with this list

we can get more downvotes

as nospinewig would say

LETS
UP
THOSE
NUMBEEERRRRRSSSSS

Whoever this anminkov person is is getting fucking boosted by something lmao, they are getting h a r d carried

Ya know, even though they did get destroyed in this series, I feel like overall this tournament was a good showing from Zeta, and it might be in their best interests to just sign these stand-ins. If they were able to produce a top 3 result in this little amount of time together, imagine what they could possibly do if they actually had the time

He can't go to a team that will guaranteed make him look worse lmao

Yeah, I think EDG played better as well, but SEN won two maps so they're ahead of them in the stats :/

Also, it p a i n e d me to put BLG above DRG because of how poorly BLG played this tournament, but they did technically win a map when DRG didn't so :/

s0m was in a good position to win that round anyways even if he didn't get the collat, besides that though, even though they went 3-3 in series count MIBR honestly played insane, they were a real contender at this tournament

It kinda fucked up the formatting but it's still readable I guess

(Here's to hoping VLR doesn't fuck up the formatting of this post when I click Submit Thread)

EG picked up Apoth for the main roster for 2024, we don't count them, they'll pick up anyone

His confidence is another massive W in his favor tbh, you're 100% correct that his confidence would help bring a LOT of value to a team that needs it

I can see it. At the same time, I think Babybay (even though his time on the team was short) never had a series where it looked like he was just deadweight, other than his very first game back against Sen. As he continued, he only looked better and better. Meanwhile Icy and Tex DEFINITELY had moments where they looked like real deadweight on G2 (especially Icy.) I would say that overall Babybay looked mechanically better than Icy when Icy was on G2, and definitely looks smarter than Tex on Sentinel. I think there's a possibility the reason that Icy and Tex looked so good is because they were on duelist and had a literal god tier team behind them to help set them up, while in Babybay's case, he had to be much smarter than either of those two had to be while playing the sentinel role for them

I mean, I wouldn't count out EMEA either, did you see KOI and FUT this year? They need HELP

After seeing his performance with G2 during Stage 2, what are everybody's real thoughts on him? Personally, I think that after his showing there could be a real chance he actually gets picked up by a different tier 1 team next year. I think he looked like he could fill the sentinel role extremely well, and still had the mechanical talent to put up numbers and clips when his team needed him to, despite not playing professionally for around two years. I'm curious to hear what other people think about him, and the predictions of who might be looking to pick him up if you think he will get picked up.

Skuba is actually trying to deadlift this team all on his own this map, I s2g

I didn't watch this game bc I was working but holy fucking choke, all 3 maps?????????????? Lev choke first map, C9 choke second, and then Lev again choke 3rd????? neither of these teams should be here

I called it 4 months too early, rip

How did this team go from 3/48 to 48/48

PRX did it before Toronto, and look where they are now lol

Also, Zellsis IS the vibe merchant, and having the vibe merchant also be your IGL can actually help carry your team through some tough situations, as SiuFatBB proved during Wolves' Toronto run

There's a chance the solution here might be to drop JohnQT, move Zellsis to Initiator/IGL, and pick up a new senti player. We know Zellsis' mid rounding capabilities are actually fantastic, and genuinely a very important part of their teams success. IMO, JohnQT hasn't been calling the greatest rounds this year, and he also hasn't been putting up the greatest numbers recently either, so I think giving Zellsis a chance as the main IGL and allowing him to focus more on the calling and being a part of the main hit, while bringing in a cracked senti player to be a site anchor and lurk could actually help bring the team success. Bang also does need to be a bit more aggressive, but old 100T showed that he IS capable of that, I just think that the system that 100T ended up going with by the time Bang left, really beat the aggressiveness out of him, and he just needs to unlearn that.

This is all just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions, but I truly think this at least deserves a thought

Legit, his reactions are the absolute best when Wolves are playing, especially all the chants

Forsaken might be THE best flex player of all time. Even though they lost this series, Forsaken put on an amazing performance while playing every role at least once during this series, and I just think that's absolutely insane

EG have the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing today

You guys are forgetting that G2 are about to get knocked out by EG (I'm coping)

Holy shit Yay is back

Is anyone else just really sad to see it? He seemed like such a likeable person when you would see clips of him on stage, if not a little nervous, but he had the right to be nervous back then as a rookie player in champions, so I don't think anyone saw that as an issue back then. With the way it sounds like he's acting now I can absolutely understand why EDG are dropping him. It's 100% deserved, but idk man, it just makes me sad still, I used to think it was such a good iteration of the team with him on it.

I fucking l o v e the tangents they go on lmao

Check out TMV and Sideshow's co streams, they're generally pretty funny

Actually didn't know he was injured tbh

They kicked Yoman off the team, what do you think the chances are that GenG pulls a C9 and resigns Lakia?
