"the nile" aka denial

he is saying you are in denial

SPG is up there in terms most deserved

for me its probably

Apeks > SPG > 2G > XLG

I mean you cant really call the region china anymore

also politically doesnt stand too well
Riot right now lets the player choose whether taiwan is the ROC or part of the PRC
but adding a taiwanese team to a region called "china" with 8 other mainland chinese teams, well you can tell it wouldnt sit too well
Another problem is that OCE players would now count as imports in the pacific region

with all that I dont think its a route riot would even consider it

I believe with the correct roster moves they should expect to achieve similar results

I cant even find his profile on vlr or liquidpedia anymore :(

hope the bottom teams of china can improve fast so every conversion doesnt end with yeah "x chinese team is probably the worst"

woah this scrim news is something I havent heard of

idk where thisisformygurl went either, hope someone picks him up

I did it based off their full roster in tier 2 considering we dont even know the possible replacements and if kajaak is even leaving apeks (which I dont believe is confirmed)

it appears Ive underrated apeks quite a bit, It might just be my narrow belief of the lack of firepower except for kaajak who didnt do great on his first LAN

results wise I disagree, I think there are plenty of good replacements for smokes and intiator role in americas

Branding wise, yeah its gonna be tough

Ive watched very little tier 2 but in my opinion it would be

2G > SPG > Apeks > XLG

but again ive barely watched tier 2

he is good but I wouldnt say "really good" def tier 1 level but like out of the 60 players in emea tier 1, I would put him in the 25-35 range

every really good igl has had a super team to win

yeah yeah thats why I said I read your comment

:(

wait I read your comment wrong. cns 4th seed is blg I thought you meant like the 3rd and 4th seeds got grouped mb

not TE

yes, it shouldnt even be close

I mean nobody was only igl in split 2 and his igling in the champs run was really good

it isnt in order

oh yeah
-> play ranked
-> lose
-> try to gain it back
-> realise its already the next week

personally

1.) Boaster
2.) FNS
3.) Saadhak
4.) Nobody
5.) munchkin

showers, energy drinks, talking to people, physically doing an activity, moving around

solo q is pain in the ass to do, so many throwers

5 > 2 > 3 > 1

from my experience

Most people argue:
boostio
fns
boaster
jhonqt
munchkin
saadhak
Boo
Other ones people like to argue are:
KiNgg
stax
mako
ange1

please liquid, pick up kr1stal, PLEASE

gambit vs kru
literal masterpiece

EDG vs Navi
that overtime on pearl was mwah

BLG vs NRG both times
huge chinese underdog story

TE vs LEV
similar to blg vs NRG

FPX vs TH (shanghai > champs)
top 3 match of the year

EDG vs TH
best final imo

DRX vs FPX
was a great shout

PRX vs EG (upper final > finals)
just goated what can I say

Koi vs NAVI (2023 regular season split)
literally best regular season match in 2023

Username = Cloudberry

Why = Every time I interact with them, they are always positive and have a nice vibe + he likes my youtube :D + W updates for rostermania

he has a munchkin/boaster type of igling where he likes to micromanage everyones action during a round and still puts up good relative numbers and great vibes during the games, so I think he is up there in terms of just igling too

yays stats were leagues above him competition, that year he 100% deserved esports player of the year

EDG nobody when viewed in terms of all aspects is a top 5 igl

kr1stal already agreed to leave prior to joining the team, probably thought he already knew he had his chances in tier 1 emea since there is a lack of igls

kr1stal most likely left then being kicked

they most likely didnt actually kick him

80% sure this wasnt xlgs decision

thats incredibly high

Diamond 2

what is with this pancada glazing as one of the best controllers
he had 1 amazing event
2 events where he did good
and never performed to that level again ( all in 1 year btw )

someone like yay was good for two whole years
had 4 amazing events
2 good events

yay is treated like an utter dog and prosecuted by every bad perfomance he gets yet pancada sneaks by as one of the best controllers despite having less than half the performance yay did.
This literally makes no sense in any world, treat both players the same man. if you think pancada is a top tier smokes for his champs performance, fine but you gotta be putting yay in your top 3 players

yay had an incredible year, he was good for 3 events, which is slightly better than pancada but still pretty bad. I can find you 5 yay haters for every yay glazer

if you are performing on your role, that should be included, your kills have an incredible impact.

is your list having s1mon as the best intiator in the world?
im really intrigued, is boaster a top controller? surely he is right because utility > performance

so boaster > mako, karon, tenz, pancada, smoggy, etc

?

cuz he is da goat

he has only showed that form in 1 event... in his entire career

pancada has put up numbers in a single event T-T

nobody has been an incredible igl, your just a com hater,

trent, beyn sacy and cauanzin are all people I argue are at a similar level and Idrm who you put above who

his master reyk looked good at best, his copenhagen was at a similar level, his champs was toptier, his previous year was mid and his 2024 state is extremely mid

unless their utility is awful, I dont consider agent utility that much. otherwise a player like s1mon would be highly rated, tenz is a controller player at the end of the day and that role allows him to frag out. see him play duelist in 2023?

oh btw the list isnt in order, I just put people better than "x"

but even have said that tenz would be like 4th behind karon only

yeah he def comes close. a breakthrough tournament or two and I could even see him being in contention of the best
