imma be honest , challengers seems all over the place and i personally do not find the games interesting, but what i do find interesting is the emerging talent pool coming from this ripe hotbed of players.
here's my thoughts on the winning players of challengers so far:
n4rrate - classic reliable ranked player, can never go wrong with him. he is a star player, no matter what the outcome of a match is. he boasts a 160 adr, highest in the league, and a 0.22fk/0.17fd per round, only Dgzin matches his fk rate with a 0.14 fd, but DGZIN is not playing in a tier 2 league. although his demand isn't high for most teams in the regional league, he is still a hot topic, he could be someone NRG look for, if Ardiis doesn't work out in the long run, He is a jett player? check, chamber player? check (meta could change), raze player? check. his neon could be a bit iffy, but we have victor for that. He isn't just a 1 trick chamber, and could be a derke in the making., but theres a long way to go for him.
oxy - same as narrate but needs more guidance
Trent - sort of a flex player, better than most in his league, mostly plays sova with viper and raze when needed. hes a consistent player quietening down from the previous expectation set by many people, although i still do not think he's ready for t1, he is still a top contender, above many. we have a tendency to overrate many players and we also have a tendency to be underrate some players not giving them a chance at all. and right now his rating by the community is definitely optimal. i would not know which teams in the league would benefit from him, i just dont watch enough to know rly.
nismo - top quality initiator, his impact is noticed by everyone in the server, boasting a 0.55 APR(assists) and topping in KD second to his teammate koalanoob. i know right now he 0-8 vs dsg on haven, it is serously bad timing. who cares anyway, his flashes are reliable and a great support. i do not see M80 breaking apart their team except for maybe sentinels, so they are ripe to qualify for americas league i hope.
Zander and skuba - great controllers
verno - almost a sova 1 trick but he could be made to be adaptable, just need the right guidance. see a lot of potential
Valyn and Johnqt - IGLs topping the the league, much needed for 100t, Valyn would be a great fit.
yay - obligatory yay
i will not make comments on MXM since i do not watch their games.
Edit: I will be putting sym and koalanoob on the list, I apologise for my ignorance and lack of open mindedness
