flashback has been playing for a while already and with every new rookie that looks half way decent in the league gets hyped to kingdom come, i mean look at foxy9, primmie, tomazy, marteen, yuran, Jemkin, and there are probably a ton more flying over my head rn. They all get hyped to be the second coming of yay but they never are.
Dont get me wrong all these players are great and some of the best in their regions but the justification of "oh theyre young they have so much potential to grow" is an argument thats been used over and over again that has NEVER paned out in the way people expected them to
you clearly didnt watch EMEA, on a failing team he was literally the only guy keeping them afloat. He was easily the most impressive rookie of early 2024 and he could never show it off past the kickoff cause his team just crumbled around him.
Meteor by comparison was on a team that was completely dominating throughout the year, that will easily inflate his stats especially when majority of the competition during 2024 were vastly inferior to GenG especially the Pacific region where GenG could coast by and still qualify to masters and champs.
Regardless, youre vastly underrating narrate because hes on new roles on Sentinels who are in absolute shambles rn. You saw him holding up sentinels all by himself on Iso during the haven game, the kid has huge potential to be a world class player
