I guess I can see where you're coming from. But he had a broken team at the second half of 2024. This year he'll shine for sure, with a real IGL.

Fair, though he still didn't look amazing during KCX4 and even then during KC's peak at Kickoff I'd still take the top 4 in the list over him

Sure the KCX4 was a BO1 without much training but KC had world class macro play but KOI aim diffed them, specially Marteen he went -8 i think and died 3/4 times for not checking corners

I think he takes too much pressure on stage (like vs KOI)
he must prove he has the potential to be the best duelist in EMEA
this year he has one of the best 5 with him and the confidence of the staff so I hope he does it

Yee when I was making the list I initially had him in like top 3 but then I kept thinking "would I really take a 26 year old who has the burden of dedicating his mental bandwidth to being the IGL over any of the players above him" and I kept saying no

He's still cracked and an absolute demon in the clutch tho, EMEA's smokes players all just got a lot better this year

Thoughts:
Duelist: kamo higher for sure, koalanoob likely higher, also doubt cNed is in but instead Lime. Marteen should be above purp0. Overall a lot of unknown because bunch of tier 2 talent.

Controllers: Sayf lower especially now, suygetsu first might be too early. But overall Ruxic, Kadavra, Atakaptain and Profek could change places IMO. Grubinho might be best if he continues on smokes.

Sentinel: pretty good because stacked role

initiator: pretty good as well

flex: I think for now Kamyk should be lower, but otherwise pretty decent, overall I think runneR will be better than 10th

also holy is sentinel and initiator stacked roles with controller and duelist having some high potential

Oh bro Apeks is so cooked if they don't have cNed. I'm a huge Lime believer but I think he's more of a consistently decent player than a star player like cNed at a T1 level and I don't think I'd take him over purp0 or marteen.

That's the same reasoning I have for putting koalanoob so low compared to all the young players in EMEA and I was honestly tempted to put Filu above him.

In terms of the controllers, Sayf played Omen and Viper last year and I have faith that he'll be able to keep a fairly consistent level with what he was last year. I honestly think SUYGETSU is better suited to be a controller than a sentinel so I think he may genuinely look even better. That grubinho take is honestly very fair I think he's super team material.

kamyk I just have super high faith in. I think he has a decently high ceiling and is fairly consistent. Though sociaBLEE might have higher potential to just take over games so idk

oh believe me Lime was insane in Fokus, hes the only available Emea duelist who could turn into a real star duelist

#28

cNed is so overrated, easily the third worst in the league after koalanoob and filu, Lewn will surprise you, imo he might be even better than xeus, purp0 is not a good duelist (great player tho) and marteen should be a bit lower imo, EMEA is stacked in terms of duelists ngl, not a big gap in skill between derke, kaajak, miniboo, xeus, lewn, click and kamo, all have worldclass potential

#31

Ngl I was super uninformed about LewN so yeah I probably rate him lower than he deserves

cNed was kinda carrying FUT at Shanghai along with yetujey and I still think he has it in him to be world class

I thought purp0's Jett and Neon were kinda elite last season tho I think I may just be remembering a few games were he went crazy so idk

I expect marteen to be better than he was last season with a better calling system and better support players around him

#36

I wouldnt say carrying tbf, I dont rate FUT very highly so even if he was their best performer its not that impressive for me at a world level, I dont think he is a bad player its just that the others are insane, imo he should start learning new roles because he is good mechanically and experienced just not good enough anymore as a duelist with all these 19yo demons, marteen is a bit of the same he is a good duelist specially on yoru/neon but his jett is kinda mid, he might perform well because Saadhak is a top3 igl itw and the system around him will be great, marteen probably fits what Engh/Saadhak like to do with weird comps since he is really really good on neon/yoru but I cant rate him higher than any of the duelists I mentioned above

I’m not super familiar with EMEA T2 circuits but I thought Izzy was surely going to be picked up by one of the Turkish teams if not another org. Why did BBL opt for LewN?

LewN just as Comeback have way higher potential and are already better, Izzy is a good experienced duelist but doesnt have the potential to be a worldclass duelist like those two for example

Idk I think MiniBoo's performance at Kickoff-Stage 1 and Champs playoffs pretty safely put him above everyone except Derke. His slump in Stage 2 and Champs group stages I'm willing to forgive because his confidence was clearly knocked by everyone calling for him to be dropped

If he's in form, he's easily top 2 imo

He deffo has potential and the competition is super stiff for top 5 I just put him below the top 4 because Sayf and SUYGETSU are superstar players transitioning to smokes that I think will be equally if not better on smokes than their previous roles, grubinho was easily the best smokes player in EMEA last year and Ruxic has the young Turkish player effect behind him

#51

sayf is gonna be igling tho, no way hes actually performing top 3 smokes, his best play is always on duelist not sentinel/flex

grubinho is a good shout for #1 he was technically better in split 2 but that was just form to me

I don't necessarily think he's bad I just don't think he can compete with the players above him

He's not young and cracked out of his mind or proven on the biggest stages so he's just one of those players that's kinda there for me

Hot take but I think smokes is a better role for suy than sentinel

I never thought SUYGETSU was aggressive enough as a sentinel on the attack and didn't really make enough big plays on his lurks and more often than not played for the clutch, which I think is far better suited for smokes play than sentinel, so I think SUYGETSU might honestly look better than he ever has
