You should move Kr1stal to the initiator list as he is not igling currently

Why not something for jinggg?

i feel like "scan initiator" doesn't do something justice

flashback

lowkey Monyet could be on both controller and flex list

jitboys should be higher than sylvan , Flashback should be #2 for anchors minimum. kr1stal isn’t igl for GE. BeYN is not the scan ini for DRX. What makes you put Yoman free1ng, he should never be over free1ng, when free1ng is clearly the better player. Kr1stal should be top 3 for scan ini. free1ng should be up there as well. The best initiator in PAC is probably invy. ban is not better than foxy9.

Also you cant have a player in scan initiatior and in flex, makes no sense.

you don't watch pacific if you think flashback isn't top 2 in the sentinel category

I dont watch PAC, time zones dont work out for me

why b0n here, where flashback

I'd argue Invy should be somewhere on that list lol

i can explain some of them... flashback should be self explanatory, outclassing even mako last year. invy has hard carried TS since he joined and he is insane with kayo. kr1stal is very good fade and sova as well. freeing over yoman i disagree with because he only started playing initiator recently, he used to play sentinel iirc before joining DRX. beyn used to be scan initiator but now freeing is taking that role because athan played flash ini for DRX. but beyn did play scan so maybe he counts for that. jitboys is so much better than sylvan, he is incredible. he frags more and is way more consistent in his performance.

id argue, based on fragging potential alone, free1ng outclasses yoman

its not about mechanics. its also about util usage. you are not measuring the player by the value they provide for the team, which is so important as an initiator player.

invy is more of a flash initiator than a scan initiator

then how u made the tierlist?

international events from last year, off season events and general sentiment from valo content creators and analysts and my own personal opinions

basically you watched the events that don't matter too much, you didn't watch the actual games, you incorporated other people's opinions, and guessed the rest..?

And if you took PlatChat's opinions, then you took the opinions of some who also didn't watch the actual games...?

Francis and Ivy are pretty good. Persia was the highest rated player in Challengers Korea AND Ascension.
Kush has been rated pretty highly. SyouTa was the best Smokes/one of the top prospects in Japan T2 for the past 2 years.

i like how people underestimate hyunmin as a duelist xddd
and didn’t including him at top5
