Who do you think has been the best rookie of the year so far?
Personally, I think Free1ng or Hyunmin deserves it

Hyunmin & Free1ng have the edge as their performances have been great in Bangkok as well. For now, Free1ng is the front runner I think, but Hyunmin and Famouz might be in the leading spot towards the end of the year, especially with the Tejo nerfs and whatnot.
Kaajak is doing very well in EMEA right now, with Cyvo0ph/Xeus/Lewn being in the conversation too.
Xenom/Cortezia/Lukxo for Americas. All three are insanely talented killing machines in the game, super fun to watch but Cortezia is probably in the lead for Americas top rookie spot because MIBR is actually winning. Big sad bur Lukxo, I think he had one of the most impressive debut performances (in all of his T1 matches so far, really) but LOUD just can't win.
CyvOph has been really impressive in his opening games but Vitality need to do better as a whole for him to get that sort of recognition
Hyunmin has proven he can perform internationally already, excited to see what the rest of the year looks like for him
Lukxo is looking really solid too, unfortunately loud and just problematic at the moment
Cortezia maybe recency bias from yesterdays game? Idk I haven't watched him much but still looks promising
Kaajak? Idk if he still counts as a rookie even though Apeks were in T2 last year before he moved but he's really starting to heat up, hopefully he's locked in for the TH match tonight
Mada is starting to turn up too, shame it's for a 4 man roster that won't see an international stage this year
Overall I feel like this is one of the most competitive years for rookies
