This man has taken 2 different teams that no one predicted to be good to 2/3 LANs so far, not to mention upsetting liquid in Reykjavik. The only player currently on a roster who comes close to him is Shaz and even then shaz has always had the best roster in NA, meanwhile vanity is working with scraps

CongoBat [#6]Ive played against him in ranked, but obv thats not the same thing. I think if there was no post plant, no judge, and no OP metas to abuse and the game properly balanced, he wouldnt be any sort of special IGL at all, open to being wrong on this one
yes
LaFortune [#8]yes

Fat_Lard [#4]Really downplaying how C9B were one of the favorites coming into LCQ and they got a really fucking good roster but yes, Vanity is a great IGL and player.
Leaf was insane from the start but Xeppa who was amazing in cs didnt really start popping off until Vanity came in. Also V1 beat liquid with a stand in during berlin. Already he seems like a karrigan type who can make any team great immediately

Xeppa was playing only viper and kayo before vanity came

Xeppaa was brand new, was playing the wrong roles(for him) and Vanity brings comfort since they've played together for so long. Confort doesn't = being a good IGL but he's a great IGL tho. My point was that it's not fair to say that he's "working with scraps" especially cause he's only really worked with very experienced tac FPS players(mitch has been playing Val longer than him and played cs, Xeta has been playing Val for longer, Leaf and Xeppaa were both great in CS and played for years, Zellsis played CS for a while, effys has been playing Val longer than pretty much everyone in NA and penny was good in CS). Other than wippie(Idk much about him outside of playing for V1), he's only really played alongside extremely experienced players. With that being said, it's clear that C9B is much better with him as their IGL and that V1 is much worse without him as their IGL and that he's a top 5 IGL in NA.
