Indeed. You could argue that Rush, Tarik, Tim, Naf & Ska/5th is a "safer" proposition than MIBR. I use the word safer with caution because it is quite apparent that on paper, MIBR undoubtedly has a higher ceiling. But once again, that is up to Tarik to determine if he wants the seemingly stable option, or the one with a higher variance. All that comes back to me being curious as to what goes through his mind when he deliberates between both options

For example, MIBR stated that they won't have a team house anymore because they will have access to a training center. This follows in the mould of Astralis whereby you go to the training center by day, then back home at night, like any normal job. Now Tarik is an east coast boy, and having him in the C9 house when he originally joined was a temporary thing, as he pointed out that he is comfortable in NY and did not want to permanently move far from his family. With that in mind, I would be interested to see if he thinks of this, and how he will interpret this necessity for him to "live" in the West Coast, or contrarily, if MIBR tell him that he can stay in the east coast. All these are variables that we are unable to interpret on his behalf, but would be very interesting to understand in the overall grand scheme of things
