I think the primary reason that Tyrant is so dominant is that they are comprised of experts from around the world (four main players from 4 different countries), whereas other leading teams are primarily country based. VNS has Bacg and Yellow, but the rest of the team, all made up of Vietnamese players, simply cant compete. Same thing goes with the Chinese teams. RVK is primarily Brazilian (with the obvious exception of Chris). I guess this is obvious.
There are many combinations of experts that if put together could beat Tyrant (or at least get much closer than teams have been able to recently). Think about a VNS / CKF / POZ dream team - would be killer.
The single biggest threat to Tyrant would be if Riut joined RVK, which would give them Chris, Dog, Riut, Stark, and Feage. THAT would be a team Tyrant would struggle to beat. Actually, I think this would make RVK the favorites in most tournaments.
Reshuffling clan rosters from country-based to internationally-based would change the AoC competitive scene a lot, and would result in at least a few teams emerging as true challengers to Tyrant.
