Fluttermania
KarpeSan &
Adem are the managers of the Fluttermania, i don't think both of them play any tier, maybe AG, but nothing else, so they really need some strong support because they won't be able to tests or help to build good teams. So they picked
Atha as their AAA slot, Atha is in like 16-2 in OMs team tours which is crazy (including OMWC) and he is by far the best AAA right now with great plays and great builds so he should do very well without any issues.
Fogbound Lake will probably be the AG player, supported by
Frozoid, i think this is a great core, Fogbound Lake is very good at everything they touch so AG should be no exception and i think they already did well in AG Snake, and Frozoid is an AG player that should be able to support Fogbound Lake, so that's a really good core.
Jrdn is gonna be the GG slot, they did well last year, there's no reason they don't do well this year too, i guess they have already touched the tier so they should be fine. At first glance, i would have say that
Leru +
Nihilslave is an amazing BH core, with Leru playing since Nihilslave wants to be benched i think, however, it looks like Nihilslave doesn't know SV BH at all, and Leru is already in a lot of tournaments and i don't know if they will have time to build, so, if Nihilslave learns the meta pretty quickly they could be fine but if Nihilslave doesn't, i don't think this core is gonna be doing well the whole season.
Clementine is gonna be the STAB slot and should be able to builds by themself (because anyway they are the only who knows the tier) but i don't think Clementine is at the same level at the rest of the pool in terms of in-game, and the pool is really good, they should be able to take some wins but i don't think they're gonna do well with no support.
Crying +
Bored_glitch is the 2v2 core, and i don't know why crying only signed up for 2v2 because, to be good in 2v2 you need to click well and the most important is to know the tier very well, and crying doesn't play 2v2 at all so i don't know if they are gonna be able to click well, and they don't know the tier at all so yeah it's gonna be hard if they are starting, Bored_glitch can build teams, i don't know if they can build good teams i just know they can build teams so i don't think this core is gonna do well in the 2v2 pool because the 2v2 pool is really good for the most part and crying just doesnt plays the tier while bored_glitch only began recently i think, they both played 1v1 in the past but i don't think that's gonna be enough.
Fade was broken as fuck last year in NFE so surely they will be broken this year!!... they have no support and the one time i was in a team tournament with them they were extremely inactive and were just playing games (barely) so if they do the same in this tournament, this slot is in trouble, i mean they can pick random teams and Fade could just outplay everyone but, if they pick random teams, that means the teams are kinda known so yeah i don't think they're gonna do well if no ones try to learn the tier and build stuff. I guess the MnM core is
Baloor or
kDCA +
iapt, i think Baloor and kDCA are just tourplayers, i don't know if they are good enough for the pool but they play a lot of things so maybe they can play MnM too, unfortunately i don't think iapt knows SV MnM at all, so it's just like Fade in NFE, or Leru in BH, if they have no good teams, they won't do well, if they have good teams, they could do well, but they need someone to learn the meta, which is a big disadvantage compared to almost every other teams where there's a lot of players that knows the tier already.
They have some really strong slots such as AAA and AG but most of their slots are questionable in terms of support, having tourplayers is great but if you have no good teams no matter how good they are sometimes there's nothing to do, except if someone is secretly broken in like the 4 tiers where they lack support i think every week are gonna be hard for them.
