Rate the market: Hangzhou Spark

I think would be a fun thing to rewiew the offseason signing for the OWL teams (both new and old) since some are confirming they will not sign other players. The rules for this are: give the team of the thread( Hangzhou in this case) a vote from 0 to 10 in the "offseason exam"( where 6 is the minum to pass). And you also have to say why, in your opinion, the team deserve that vote. Remember you have to rate the players market not the strenght of the team: so for the expansion team if they choose the best player for their team considering their strategy for the picks. While for the Old team the parameter will be more if they were able to improve the things they lacked last year and/or improved things overall.

My vote for Hangzhou Spark market:9

Dps: I am not really an expert about Korean and Chinese T2 scene but Krystal is one of the most impressive dps i have seen in the eastern scene. I am pretty sure he will rock in OWL ( also point up cause they won bidding war with Hunters). I dont think they have alredy choose his partener in crime but for me will be Bazzi. I dont really think the other 3 are on Krystal level but they are really good ( especially GodsB as flex dps).

Tank: Guxue is AWESOME and NoSmite is a great sub main tank will be their peak position. Ria is a good offtank, i think they could have take better as individual skill but is the best choice in the team enviroment for the previous sinergy with other X6 members

Support: IDK could probably become Top 3/5 Main Supports in all the league. Revenge and Bebe are two good flex-supp but imho will be the the bottom one regarding skill

Coaches: i think they have the best coaching staff around all expansion teams ( along with Paris). 3 HC could be seen as a problem by some but i think they will works perfectly: Team Seven always seemed like they had a big potential but actually never achieve something concrete, their former coach will be a great AC and will probably do the final step he is missing under former X-6 HC. The former LGD gaming will bring players prospective ( since he is a former player) into coaching staff.
Final thoughts and other considerations: the core of X-6 and Team Seven will pay off in the early season. They also were able to take the two best chinese players avaible on the market. Great offseason for them.

I wanna see your votes for their offseason so post votes!

Overall score: 8.5

DPS: The DPS of this team are very good. Krystal and GodsB in particular are fantastic. The only problem I can see happening with this team is when they play goats. Since GodsB and Krystal both prefer to play Brig over Zarya it will be difficult to have them both in the game at the same time. It's not really a bad problem to have, but it is one that comes up in other places. Hangzhou have a couple of cases of having two really fantastic players on the same role.

Tanks: Guxue and NoSmite are both exceptional main tanks. The only problem is, they're both main tanks. Ria will do fine and probably end up playing sort of a coolmat-style of consistent but not particularly flashy dva.

Supports: IDK is arguably the best player on the team, and could very well become a top player in the league. Their flex supports will probably do enough to hold their own against most of the opponents they face.

Summary: Solid, consistent, but not particularly flashy. They should comfortably make playoffs and could play in the semifinals or even finals, but I wouldn't pick them as a favorite to win the championship. They made smart and relatively safe picks regarding their player selection, and that should help them find stability early on. I obviously don't know how much each player is getting paid, but aside from IDK and maybe Guxue I would guess they didn't have to shell out tons of money for the roster. All signs point to the management knowing exactly what they were doing this offseason.
