Top 5 EU smokes players?

Probably the single waekest role for one of the regions, kind of crazy when you think abt it but there really isn't one standout at all compared to APAC with Mak0 or NA with a great group of like 4-5 guys. If I'm counting only the players that play the controller role most in EU(so Shao, Nats, Atakaptan don't really count) I would say it's.

1. Boaster
2. Hoody
3. Nivera
4. Avova
5. ange1(?)

I honestly belive if Mistic were playing he would be top 2-3 lol. I'd be surprised if you could find a single role in one of the regions that's this weak tho.

if Nivera doesn't troll he's the best

Shao plays Omen and Astra but he's more flex ig

Brave 1st

he may not be the best but he's definitely the most entertaining controller player to watch

Most of the EMEA teams have their IGL on smokes, that is probably why there is no one who really stands out.

Brave 1st

Hes a really good anchor & omen, but i don't think hes a top5 smoker. He's one of the best Omen in emea imo but he is not that great on Astra

Not really any, the best are not in franchise

Destrian, atakaptan and brave are the only non IGL true smokers.

hoody - just look at career agents...
nivera - swaps to sentinel
avova - so bad he shouldnt even be counted

1. DaviH
2. Jlerst
3. Kamisseq
4. MAGiK
5. sterben
6. lowel
7. Obnoks
8. burzyy

Avova 😂😂

Shao on Astra owns every emea controller player. Nats Astra on ascent too, but other than that emea has igls on controller role so there's noone like mako or marved

Brave, atakaptan, Boaster, ange1, hoody, Shao, chronicle flex smokes, redgar omen is top 3 in util usage, bonecold omen one way creator, starxo tps, avova

Last time Mistic played controllers at the T1 level he was highest in rating, ACS, and assists per round among T1 controller players. He's currently the highest rated controller player in EMEA T2 this year and when playing on the role he has always been top 3 in EMEA. What's the actual argument against him?

Controller is the most common role among EMEA IGLs so not surprising. Like where NA sentinels are at?

Shao on Astra owns every emea controller player. Nats Astra on ascent too, but other than that emea has igls on controller role so there's noone like mako or marved

Ya thats basically my argument, pretty much all the players that could be good on controller in EMEA don't even play it. Shao, Nats, Chronicle, Leo, even Jamppi

I think people forget how good he was and just remember the last few matches he played where his performance was underwhelming

He blew at initiators but he's never not been a fantastic controller player. Problem is he played with the only other competent controller player in EU and Boaster obviously takes first priority on FNC which pushed Mistic into uncomfortablity and eventually off the team.

Mistic and Obnoks are only 2 controller who can compete in t1 imo maybe sterben

Shaooooooooooo, he looks pays a lot of smokes
Also just a lot of IGLs in EMEA play smokes

avova making this list in 2023 says a lot

It wasnt just an underwhelming performance.

His kayo and breach were absolute fucking trash. Literally only knew how to play skye ON BIND ONLY (he was initiator)

And he would consistently do braindead things like dry peek everything under the sun while playing shit like kayo.

Thank god he is gone for now. If he comes back as a smoker he might do well and good luck to him on that.
But if we ever see him play kayo or breach again it will be an absolute tragedy and my eyes will be bleeding.

Bro just Buys Operator everytime he got enough creeds No way he is best smokes player

Shao when hes on smokes

christ, the emea smokes in comparison to americas is actually awful
