Problem with rookie of the year

karon vs s1mon should be the debate of 2024

Only problem is s1mon has only been in tier 1 for 3 months, he has never came below 1st yet but never achieved anything more than that, karon came first and a bunch of second, therefor karon would be the ROTY, so the real problem is s1mon can never win ROTY ever, because he simply joined in a bad timeframe.

something similar could be said for benjy except heretics wasnt good in lcq

Demon1 was the best rookie.

From eye test alone we could tell that Karon and Riens are superior players, but S1mon did play a major part in EDG's glowup and their trophy win. What he was able to do in only a few months on the big stage is undoubtedly impressive.

yea s1mon was never gonna be in contention because karon had stocked up so many achievements. if karon had a worse year then maybe he could've stolen it with this champs win but it is what it is

Karon is the undisputed rookie of the year, from ranked to t1 and being in the conversation for best controller itw, all in his 1st season

Rookie in true sense

I think rookie of the year being about the whole year is a good thing cause like, yk, it’s called rookie of the year

s1mon clutch on lotus at 11-9 alone makes him rookie of the year

If basing off s1mon's performance in Champions, that is called Rookie of the tournament. He didn't play for majority of the year so we can't classify as "of the year". Only answer is Karon who played since Kickoff, achieving 1st in kickoff, 2nd in madrid, 2nd in stage 1, 1st in shanghai, 1st stage 2. Only Champions where he didn't perform well should not affect as he was already in 5/6 grand finals regional/international probably more than anyone else in this year.

I think JohnQt is definitely rookie of the year
