Let’s not get lost in the numerous misconceptions - Leo isn’t a prodigious mastermind or game-defining savant. Instead, he is functioning as a mere ‘cog’ in the FNATIC machine and riding alongside the success of gods like Derke and Boaster who do the heavy lifting. His secret sauce and clutch king qualities seem to have heavily impacted people thinking he is the most underrated initiator and soon to be the best in the world. But in reality what is he doing that is so revolutionary? Yes, he plays his role well, but half the Tier 1 support players are also grinding in silence and doing their job better without the FNATIC system covering their every blunder.
People are coasting while others are coasting. It is wild how the illusion of ‘greatness’ rotates around consistent performance. FNATIC’s structure makes him appear to be a genius, but remove it and he becomes ‘just another player’. So tell me, by the time he is thrown on a roster where he lacks a strong IGL or cracked duelist, what exactly will he become? The easy answer is blend in with every other ordinary player labeled ‘solid but not special’.
