Okay i’m behind on China so I’ll vod watch (i’ve only really seen SpiritZ ace and Ezeir) but figured i’d tally the like debuts of tier two players and how they performed in their first official. Will rank later on probs.
- Lewn
Dude was silent all off season but turned into the second coming of cNed the first two maps, he’s mechanically super talented just overheats a little, and his awp is not that strong. - Sociablee
Everything LewN can’t cover Sociablee does, dude was a DEMON map 3 and won them the game with his plays for the most part. He’s an insane awper and solid in the clutch’s - PROFEK
Some of his smoke usage was questionable but get an outlaw in this guys hand and he’ll farm. Started off slow but showed his potential later on. - Westside
Mechanically the dude is ABSURD. his bullets just magnetize to heads, his utility is solid as well and was the only one besides Cloud who did shit on GX.
5.Avez
He is a flex god so far, giving N4RRATE a lil so far with his aim and utility being super team oriented but capable of dominating in his own right. Really glad to see him do so well.
6.Ruxic
The biggest shock of the debuts so far, he was so good on Fire Flux but ngl his utility and shooting were just off. You saw moments where he locked in but overall he cost them some pivotal rounds especially on Lotus. Hopefully it’s just nerves and not a sign of things to come. - Koalanoob
For the shit he was getting sloughed dude was the sole reason his team won some rounds. He was the best person on that team today besides maybe Shao. felt like he only played poorly as a result of the team not necessarily his own talent, although his reliance on the op is as potent as ever.
Done with Day 1 EMEA rookies, tomorrow is the gauntlet LMAO
