Who do you think it is?

Personally I would go with alfajer, I think hes gone from strength to strength from Surreal to FNC
hes been performing consistently throughout the year whilst playing against tougher and tougher opponents

I'd say Bang tbh.

He always had latent potential but TSM kind of ruined his credibility and people wrote him off when 100T signed him.

Fast forward a top-twelve Champions appearance via LCQ and an offseason tournament win, people now regard him as the top NA Controller.

i think most improved this year has to be mindfreak, he used to be really mid in '21 but now hes arguably top 1 controller in apac league (only competition imo being MaKo from DR ekis ekis)

Shao was insane last year as well. He has always been. At least Ardiis fell off pretty hard considering his G2 days and proved everyone wrong this year. While Suygetsu was pretty mid player in forZe to my memory.

He was. He was literally the star of Guild and even at one point was considered as arguably the best controller player in EMEA. He was flexible as fuck and really good. Good amount of people were expecting him to take the duelist role on Guild 2022 because of how good he was, but he stick with initiator role.
