Welcome back to DDenied's 2024: EMEA 10, a countdown of the top 10 players in the EMEA region for 2024. 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.

Trexx: Vitality’s Key Initiator Shines in a Resurgent Season

EMEA Number: 9
Global Number: N/A
Rating: 1.16
Age: 20
Nationality: Russian

In 2024, Trexx joined Team Vitality after a stint with KOI in 2023, reuniting with his former Guild teammate, Sayf, from their 2022 season. However, the year began on a frustrating note as visa issues forced him to miss the EMEA Kickoff, delaying his impact on the team.

As Vitality’s primary initiator, Trexx has primarily taken on the roles of Fade and Sova, with his Sova performances standing out. Stage 1 was a slow start for both Trexx and Vitality, as the team finished the group stage with a 3-3 record, narrowly missing out on the playoffs due to tiebreakers.

Stage 2, however, was a different story. Vitality found their rhythm, securing a 2nd place finish and earning a spot at Champions Seoul. This turnaround was fueled by Trexx, who found his form and became a crucial support to Sayf. After a middling Stage 1, Trexx soared in Stage 2, finishing as the third-highest-rated player in the EMEA with a 1.21 rating—a trend he carried into Champions.

Although Vitality’s run at Champions Seoul ended in the group stage after losses to Trace Esports and Leviatán, Trexx delivered stellar performances, finishing the event with a 1.23 rating, the highest of all players at the tournament. His strong showings in the latter half of the year have earned Trexx a well-deserved 9th place in the EMEA 10, solidifying his reputation as a key player in the region.
