Nakama will undoubtedly feel more confident in open qualifiers for some Tier-1/2 tournaments, but having only Kyojin is not enough to reach Tier-2 level.

The prospects for Nakama on the national stage can be judged objectively after the end of the French ESL Championnat National Spring 2023 this spring. By the way, the winner of the tournament will qualify for the European qualifiers for the 18th season of EPL.

The debut of the updated Nakama lineup will take place on March 4th in open qualifiers for Elisa Invitational Spring 2023.
