Although Team Flash only officially announced Palette’s joining a few hours ago, rumors about this had been circulating for quite some time. In fact, CBL’s departure from the team yesterday was also a sign paving the way for Palette to join this orange-gold team.
Thus, in just a few short days, Team Flash has made a series of incredibly high-quality additions and can be said to boast the strongest lineup in VCS at the moment. They have Stark, Yoshino, and Profit in the top lane, Yijin is incredibly stable in the jungle position, Naul remains a very consistent mid-laner, and the duo of Slayder and Palette is simply number one in their roles.
Perhaps that’s why the general sentiment among gamers receiving this news is concern that the VCS will continue to be a one-sided tournament as Team Flash has amassed too many stars in their lineup. “Play alone, who can compete?” – this is probably what VCS viewers want to say the most to Team Flash right now.
Indeed, if you look at the names on Team Flash currently, it cannot be denied that these are all top stars of VCS, so it’s understandable that people consider them championship contenders. However, didn’t this also happen with GAM Esports last spring? The yellow-black team also had a lineup of top stars in VCS but still finished second, defeated by none other than Team Flash.
It is true that these new names are extremely high quality, but it is still too early to assert that Team Flash will win the upcoming VCS summer. Perhaps we need to follow this team more closely to accurately assess whether Naul and Palette can adapt to Team Flash’s playstyle.
