Welcome to DDenied's 2024: China 10, a countdown of the top 10 players in the China region for 2024. Today, I'm unveiling my honourable mentions, and starting tomorrow, I'll be revealing the next player on the list, counting down from 10th place to 1st. For fans of other regions, don’t worry—each International League has its own list, and there’s also a combined Global 20 for the year.

Disclaimer: All stats are sourced from VLR.gg, and any rating mentioned refers to VLR Rating 2.0. It's important to note that events held in China were not fully tracked by VLR, leading to missing statistics. As a result, the average ratings for each player are calculated only from events where VLR data is available, which excludes all events in China. This skews the yearly averages, particularly for players in the China league.

Honourable Mentions

S1mon: The player who turned EDG’s year around, arguably a top 20 talent at Champions. He only misses this list due to the limited time he played, but during that brief period, he made a significant impact.

AAAAY: A rock-solid presence for FPX throughout the year, especially during their standout performance in the 'group of death' at Champions. AAAAY might fly under the radar as FPX’s third-best player, but his consistency has been crucial.

stew: After the hype following Ascension, when the Rare Atom core was picked up by JDG after losing in the final, JDG struggled this year. However, in their late-season resurgence, we finally saw stew return to his impressive 2023 form.

Biank: While Biank's lack of fragging power kept him out of the top 10, his in-game leadership (IGL) skills after joining a new team was key to Trace’s qualification for Champions. For Biank, this marks back-to-back top 8 finishes at Champions.

BerLIN: FPX’s strategy and gameplay have improved significantly this year, and while credit can go to the coaching staff, there’s no doubt that BerLIN’s improvement in IGL skills from last year have enabled FPX to truly challenge EDG this season.

PS
I will be adding links to the bottom of this and all susequent articles linking them to the articles either side of them in the order and the articles parrelel to them in other lists. e.g. this article will end up linked to China Number 10, Americas Honourable Mentions, EMEA Honourable Mentions and Pacific Honourable Mentions.

PSS
The Honourable Mentions for the other regions will be released through out today with a subsequent article for each region released each day until the players start making it onto the Global 20.

I couldn't watch every game due to time reasons but watched every Kickoff game, most of stage 1 (every playoffs game), and not as many stage 2 games but I made sure to catch all the playoff games.

interesting i didn't catch as many so have based mine a little bit more on stats and a slightly larger masters and champs attendance biase but you will find it looks very similar to use once it is completely released.
