Pro that impressed you the most - 2024

RieNs.
He's my pro of the year despite not having won any of the tournaments.
I think his utility usage is near reminiscent of prime Leo

Riens was one of my favourites too.
Also Smoggy had a great individual year as well.

wo0t on shanghai was too insane

nobody ... transitioning from a lurking initiator to a champs winning IGL is impressive

Karon - from rank to rookie to a master winner
S1mon - from unknown to a champion

Chichoo Abyss

RieNs and Wo0t

f0rsakeN, all the time

Karon

T3xture, he went from being alright on GE to arguably the best duelist of the year

meiy dragged that team to a win

otherwise hiro for stepping up to T1 and playing better than most players in the league

valyn
went band for band against aspas as igl

t3xture because he was pretty mid on GE but then in 2024 he shined
Wo0t because he pretty much smurfed at Shanghai
mada because his time on LG and SR he looked like a pretty alright to mid player but he stepped up completely on mxs and now on nrg

Aspas and Zap

Karon <- this guy is INSANE

patiteK when he subbed, he played really good

I'm a clinical EMEA hater, but those mfs on Heretics all impressed me. Riens especially bro, easily worldclass.

Also I need to mention Meteor, cause if he wasn't my favorite player for the last 3 years then I'd be so fucking impressed by his performance. From a Duelist (Jett) player who really relied on the OP for success, he became the cornerstone Superstar Sentinel for the best team of 2024. At least Texture was a known cracked duelist that just got snubbed while on GE, Meteor reinvented himself and became inarguably top 3 in his role in just a single season.
