I think the bigger issue is server time, honestly. If they have to go through Open Qualifiers after a full rebuild, every bad ping game and every late-round comm gap gets punished hard, and this roster has a lot of players who have bounced around different teams. The upside is obvious – Pa1ze, MONSTEERR, Proxh and purp0 all have real top-level reps this year – but that also means they have all learned slightly different habits. If Juan meisoN can get them on the same page fast, this could be a sneaky good comeback story. If not, it turns into another "close but not synced" EU stack.
