The term rookie is hard to define for the inaugural VCT season.
For clarity sake, I will be defining a rookie as "Someone who had yet to appear at a VCT international event prior to franchising".
Pacific: Something
The catalyst for the re-emergence of Paper Rex.
Picked up from Japan during the Mid season transfer window and has transformed paper rex into a title contender.
The highest rated player in the Pacific regular season.
Honourable mentions:
- Invy: A player that has breathed life into this aging team secret roster, almost helping them to qualify to Champions.
- garnetS: A player who had a brilliant lock//in though had a quiet rest of the season.
Americas: s0m
A player many people doubted coming into the season, boy were they wrong.
s0m has cemented himself as the best controller in americas and has successfully qualified for his first two lan events.
Honourable mentions:
- Demon1: This is a true rookie to hero story. A player who came from t3 who came in with instant impact and helped propel EG onto this miracle run.
- DaveeyS: The first player from Latin America North in VCT. An important piece of the kru puzzle which shocked the world to qualify to champions through the Americas LCQ.
EMEA: qw1
FUT came into the season flying under everyone's radar, yet they still managed to qualify for Masters Tokyo.
An exciting player to watch and a pivotal part of the FUT machine.
Honourable mentions:
- Fit1nho: A player who had a quiet start to the season but came into the LCQ with a bang with a 1.31 rating.
- Cloud: The second Giants player on this list. He has emerged as a top initiator player in emea.
