Anyone else getting hype at the idea of a very french Paris team?
Like a reunion of most/all of Rogue + Poko, BenBest and maybe some of the other French players floating around (hqrdest, leaf, kryw, superplouk come to mind as possibilities)
I'm still a Winz stan too so I'd love to see him land a spot on the team. It seems inevitable that he would at least end up as a coach or something of that capacity though.
Not sure how many players from old Rogue will be picked. From some rumors only LAV player untouchable is Space so there is a possibility to take SoOn. I think also AKM and Poko are double. Then i think they will pick a good amount of players from Eagle ( Nico, SuperPlouk, Leaf, Lilbow, maybe KnoXX as main supp/coahing role/tank etc..). I can see also players like BenBest,Hidan. For sure they have a good amount of main tank besides SP and BenBest ( not sure about KnoXX since he did not play that much in the last months) also Chubz is a good Main Tank. They have the possibility to build a great Full French Roster. But imho they will not buy all the 3 players i said before. I think SoOn and Poko will be really expensive to buy. I still hope in a Mixed European roster ( i can see a strong french core). But i guess we will see SoOn( :eyes: ).
Generation1 [#8]the problem with frenchies too is they still don't have a truly game changing genji or projectile player.
Nico is really good. Problem is a backup projectile :|
Loco [#11]There are a lot of great French players that deserve to get picked up, but I don't think a full/mostly French roster is the way to go.
Maybe full-french speaking team is not very good option, but I hope they have french players are core (3-5 players). Although it might not be needed yet for Season 2 to have top french talent, but for Season 3 with home games I could see Paris (and possibly some new European teams for Season 3) might want to get some local top EU talent to hype the home crowd.

Asking or leaf would have to be backup projectile prolly.
wentaway [#12]As long as they or some other team picks up Asking, I'm happy. :)
I don't think thats asking too much. AGH I HURT MYSELF
I'm surprised that Poko being bought by the Paris team is not a popular opinion.
Poko didn't get as much play time during the later stages, and I'm sure a team based in Paris where he would get more playtime sounds very appealing to the French superstar.
That being said, buying him would be expensive, but I can only see that being the main reason why Paris may not be able to get him.
LordOfHorns [#10]An all french Paris team would be worse than shanghai
Clearly you didn't watch the Paris group stage or the EU Contenders finals.

If I were Paris I'd try my best to get him honestly, but yes I bet he's pretty expensive right now, and have also to consider if the player himself would prefer to play in a new team (albeit of his own country) or in a team that just got 2nd place in the first OWL season.

it's unpopular because to make a strong french team they need several owl players, unkoe, soon & akm are all viable options as well, so they will probably settle for most of the eagle roster just because it's more realistic for an all french team.
There need to be two full French teams so we can be disappointed by the outcome of the yearly French shuffle.

I feel like having a french core would be a mistake, french people have a tendency to speak french when they're the majority in a group, and as a result any non-french speaking in this team would feel lost and stranded
Either full french or 1-2 frenchies are the way to go imo
Edit : I don't have the specifics but I'm thinking skipjack in rogue
