Since the IGL is one of the most important parts of a team (for the most part), I want to hear VLR's opinions on the many players who have taken that job in their team. I've separated all the IGLs from as many of the franchised teams in Americas, Pacific, and EMEA, and some from China into some groups below. This is not a ranking, rather grouping players based on their experience, history, and success in their careers as IGLs. Also please help me out if I got any IGLs wrong or missed anyone. (Help with CN pls)
Championship Winning IGLs:
- saadhak (LOUD)
- Boaster (FNC)
- Boostio (100T)
- ANGE1 (NaVi)
- Redgar (GX)
IGLs with International Success:
- stax (DRX)
- Haodong (EDG)
- vanity (C9)
IGLs with Tier 1 Regional Success:
- MrFalin (FUT)
- kiNgg (LEV)
---------------------------------------------------- - Laz (ZETA)
- berLIN (FPX)
- Melser (KRU)
- JessieVash (TS)
- fl1pzjder (RRQ)
- Crws (TLN)
- valyn (G2)
- pAura (BBL)
- JoXJo (DFM)
IGLs with Tier 2 Success:
- johnqt (SEN)
- crazyguy (BLD)
- beyAz (M8)
- Enzo (TL)
- Munchkin (Gen.G)
IGLs who are unproven/have little success:
- Boo (TH)
- Ethan (NRG)
- kon4n (FUR)
- MAGNUM (KC)
- russ (GE)
- NaturE (EG)
Which IGLs are going to surprise and bring their team up this year? Who will disappoint? Will we see another team like PRX ditch their IGL? And is IGL that important of a role? Tell me what you guys think!
Personally, I think crazyguy will be a good IGLin tier 1, fl1pzjder will also surprise people. And I think NRG will succeed if they tried something similar to PRX, even without a main IGL.
