they bought the sangal core but all they really wanted was lnz and the ranking points. if you swap out more than 3/5 of a team you have to grind your way up through open quals
on the left is heroic, who scammed the system with a core they never intended to keep long term. on the right is nip, who made a brand new team and only scammed it a little for wildcard invites that never came
5 t1 invites (including rmr access), vs one borderline t1 event via open qualifier in six months
now heroic can sell sunpayus for profit, swap xfloud for the player they wanted all along, and they're comfortably queued up for cologne and ewc. nip finally made it to 24th in the world after months of online grinding, below where heroic started in january, and they have basically one shot at cologne to stay there
