Do you not see a problem with 5 f0rsakens overheating and w keying? I feel like solid teams like 2024 geng and sentinels would shut this down with their extreme discipline and confidence in their mechanics. I also am not sure how well he does with an igl role because davai is technically the igl for paper rex

I only saw a bit of a voice comms video but his calls werent too bad. I think that igling in general would be woots biggest problem

Has valyn played other roles? Same with Boo, but I know he at least have played fade on lotus

Basically a "No one is beating a team of 5 TenZ" scenario, but with more thought. I think aspas isn't a good choice since he plays only duelist, so they need to be able to flex and they need to be decent at midrounding and igling. If f0rsaken did a little less overheating and w key, I think he would be a good candidate since he played every role with decent showcasing.

He got 4 and screamed at his iso to lose his kill contract for the fifth. "LOSE IT! LOSE!"

Is EG the best choice just because they won champions? Or are you defining consistency with EG?
Measuring consistency (to me) is how likely I am of making the right predictions with that team. Luck is everywhere in both the game and pro scene. From random headshot through smokes and timings, to whoever is sleeping in and bracket draws, but top tier teams will minimize or exploit each part of the game's RNG, leading to consistent performances. There was the 2016 NBA Finals, where the Warriors were the favorites and lost a 3-1 lead to the Cavaliers, does that discredit what they did the whole year?

Hearing about EG's story and how they NEEDED MIBR (who were one of the lowest performing teams in that league), I wouldn't have thought that they were going to make it to champs in the first place. They have never beaten FNC, earning second place in Tokyo, and are tied with FNC in terms of series against LOUD (both 2-1).

Consistency is how top tier teams beat other top tier teams. There is a one in a million chance that a team like EG loses to a random team that gets 40 running headshot kills through a smoke, and make all the right reads, but that shouldn't discredit what they do would work the other 99% of the time.

What is the criteria for team of the year? Because Fnatic and GenG have been the most consistent in their years (2023 and 2024 respectively).
Would EG be in contention for 2023 TOTY since they won Champions? Are we talking firepower like NRG? Or fan favorite like Sentinels and Paper Rex?

I have to disagree with your argument because I value the consistency of these two teams. Both teams have made every tournament, placed 1st and 2nd in their leagues, and placed high in each tournament (GenG champions being the exception).

Edit: Imagine someone like Lebron or MJ not be in contention for player of the year because they lost against 1 team.

I think Boo is the clear favorite, since he got his team to the finals of both masters and (I think) kickoff + split 1. (I didnt realize this is a T2 post my fault, my fault)

I know El diablo and the Wonder kid, and I am sure there are more throughout the 4 year scene. My personal favorite is the wonder kid, but its probably because I enjoyed the fnatic story in 2023

I would like to add a bit more context since people keeps talking about the first engagement graph in the video. Platoon also showed that Demon1 also had the second most amount of clutch attempt (outliving the rest of his team despite being one of the 2 duelist player on the team). I figure that was worth mentioning

What is wrong with bang? I dont watch many 100T matches, but I feel like his mechanics are decent and he isnt yelling as much as Asuna
