Wouldnt that mean that he started playing competetive games at like 14?
Well... I'll trust you i guess but that is surprising.
Congo1 [#14]Thank you

he is also young, 16
he needs to be better but he has so much potential like other Turkish duelists

19/20 is a bit old for the purpose of this thread so i will leave him out for now
Should consider taking a look at the ChipiChapa boys playing in Spain now. Both ZachKappa and Serial have been absolutely crazy. And while they are not his young ChipiChapas was literally just playing the officials raw, barely any praccs no server time at all. This is their first professional environment and they are insane

serial is 21 and zachkappa 22 but still very good upcomers

This is not supposed to be a "good players in T2" list but a potential young prodigy list. Otherwise the list would get too big and loose focus. Zach is like 22 and SK is 20 i think. Chippi chapa obviously goated but different purpose.
If i were to make a list about the best players in T2 that need to get picked up i would maybe list half of these kids if even that.

Yes yes I know, but they’ve never been on professional enviroments before so the potential improvement is there like if they were a lot younger
Ico 18
Windett 15
ara?
GSR 16
Yohpa 17
NoMiss 16/17
Ciuffo 16
loll9 17
Razziss 18
Davia 16
Sloov 16
Ziad 17/18
cullumx 18
dont look to much on the stats by some players, ive heard coaches say that they have insane potential and just need experience but mechanically r alr insane
Some NA and pacific talent who r unknown and r def worth a look:
CXIX (onenineteen) 17
123 18?
Timotino 17
personal fav:
GSR, Ico, CXIX, Windett, ara

I understand, not saying you add them. I’m saying due to the circumstances of ChipiChapas in a way they are like this young players, pure talent no experience at all, everything to learn yet. So the improvement margin is similar
Mortadelo [#34]Yes yes I know, but they’ve never been on professional enviroments before so the potential improvement is there like if they were a lot younger
Agreed

glad to see some italian recognition (stay tuned for that 3 names, some big announcement from Italy…)
ara was so good, same as Lamelly (16) and Qu1ckz from BFG
Mortadelo [#38]Does anyone have any info about Akai? How long is his military service and does he plan on competing when it’s over?
Military service in the UAE is usually a bit less than a year. I think it was something like 11 months
Haven't heard if he has plans to return or not (he might've said something; I just haven't heard anything)
Honestly, if you want a good head start, just check out Bade's twitter, I know the guy and i can tell you his lists are pretty damn good (though he doesn't publish all of them of course.)
kozzy, 14yo, genuinely insane at the game, and super young aswell, could be a big name when he turns 16
idle, 15yo, idlevlr on twitter + idle#15yo on leaderboards #54 last act, his account seems a bit suspicious in the performance tab, but im not going to make assumptions on if legit or not, its one of the names to watch out
po1nt, 17yo, this guy used to be pretty decent in 2023, he ghosted in 2024, but apparently he is back and streaming radiant ranked grind, could be a good name in some time if he puts in the effort, but for now, nothing crazy.
yutaro, 16yo, I don't really know if this guy is even considered EMEA atp, he is ukrainian but lives in japan from what ik, I heard about this guy from Bade, and he is genuinely insane, yutarovlr on twitter.
rehn, 16yo, though I wouldn't say he is the best right now, he is definitely decent and is very young, so he can improve alot.
Kaaru, no idea on his age, this dude quite literally was going +20 in all northeast open quals games, his account is also quite suspicious, but, he was let into vcl, so i assume he is clean, definitely one of the names to watch out
WaddlesThePig, 18yo, Kaaru's teammate, 1k rr peak player, pretty good in ranked, a bit overwhelming in actual games so far, but has potential.
TakeR, 17yo, 1k rr peak, seems very promising.
Also, keep an eye for TL Academy, GSR and Donatello will destroy.
Razziss will also be going into vcl apparently, insane talent
SunfloweR also incredibly talented, hope he finds a team.

Congo1 [#42]i checked some of these so far. will continue later. thanks for the effort
