Japanese Challengers is significantly weaker competition, while he might be, based n his previous performances in the Japanese qualifiers for masters and stuff I wouldn't put him that high, but I could be wrong. I'd love to see him succeed tho
I haven't watched him play but from his stats he looks crazy. also keep in mind that he is farming up t2 japan, which isn't exactly the strongest region in general
No he was not. He has been signed with the Guard ever since he was initially signed. That is QUITE literally the only reason he is not signed to a T1 team. He is undeniably a top 10 talent in NA, but he could be as high as top 5 or higher
