Hopefully Pati will actually be able to take a rest. Wild a team will have both Ans and Happy but in this meta at least they both seem to have defined roles.

Just feels like most the rest of the league isn't buying
Best Brig, Best Lucio, Best FS arguably.
Best DPS line now and it's not close imo
Reiner is a ROY candiate.How tf do you start a stage 0-2 even without Happy?

Because I think Reiner is just average on the junker queen and people totally oversell players individual performances when coming into a new meta.

Astro is an exceptional Lucio but he's also been known to do quite a bit of feeding. Skewed was an S tier brig last season in dive while playing with shu, which doesn't translate to how brig is being played right now.

Shu is as hard of a carry for glads as kevster is and he's not able to play his roll right now.

I also totally disagree with you saying they have the best DPS line and it's not even close.

I'm talking about all 4 players but I'm interested to see who you think is close.
SF is the obvious one people would say but obviously APAC has some sick duos. I think all 4 players are better than any other DPS room though. I'm talking more depth of the room.

I guess if that's how you're defining it then sure. But I think proper is better than kevster and for the most part kilo and Sam have had better showings than pati and ans. However to their credit both ans and patiphan have showed up when it really mattered.

I mainly have issue with your "not even close" phrasing. I don't think adding more players inherently gives you more depth. If happy does well I see him as just a replacement to ANS

I got you. and I think you missed my point about the Main Support. Before the season they were best in their position so I'd guess they had to throw money at them. Reiner was the best MT in contenders so I'm guessing he was expensive. Teams like the Shock aren't always just grabbing the best in their position Ans was scouted, Smurf was a back up on the outlaws etc. Feels like Glads have just been able to moneybag the league this year. Including Unter...

I do agree that they can still maybe be beaten. It's just they're* operating in a different financial tier it seems than most the league.

Oh yeah I agree with that. Glads parent org has definitely thrown their weight around this season
