damn Leo got robbed from the nomination

1. Imperial Hal
   2.Fnatic
2. Lol
3. Blast cs
4. HARRY POTTAH

if t1 wins I can't see a world where faker doesn't get the prize

1. Faker not even close
2. I would say EG cause team and coach but the org is so shit, so maybe Fnatic
3. LoL
4. Worlds 2023 if t1 wins will be most hype.
5. Potter cause she literally took an EG that looking like tier 2 in beg of franchising and getting a lot of hate to winning champions.

I understand that, considering how big LoL actually is.

But what imperial-hal achieved this year was absurd.

1st at apex 2023 championship (valorant terms = champs)
2nd at split 2 (like a masters event)
1st at split 1 (like a masters event)

Plus he mvp'd in both of their wins.
Phenomenal achievements and incredible individual performances.

for sure, imperial is also insane, but I don't think it's fair to compare, lol is significantly more competitive

how is Demon1 and not Leo WTF

how is Demon1 and not Leo WTF

cause they weigh champions more heavily imo which is kinda sad but that's the reality. Big events are pretty much end all be all.

Zonic best coach

damn Leo got robbed from the nomination

Wait yes, why isn't Leo one of the nominees?

bro is like saying aspas was better than yay last year, yay without Champs win the award
no-sense

Why would you go Gunba over potter? Like what is the logic in that or are you joking?

At what point is faker just winning it because of who he is though?

• Wasn't the best player on his team in lck split 1 (which they didn't even win)
• Gumayusi was better an msi. There were a couple of other mid laners better than faker (t1 placed 3rd)
• He was injured for half of lck 2.
• It is only now at the worlds playoffs that T1 has become the top team in Korea and potentially the world.

Worlds is probably the only event this year that you could debatable call faker the best mid laner.

1- faker
2 - fnc or jdg
3 - lol
4 - worlds
5 - potter

I like all your choices except for possibly 5, I'd put potter there. She pulled off a miracle.

SilentCypher [#13]

Wait yes, why isn't Leo one of the nominees?

Leo: best player whole year
nobody care

Demon1: have on good tournament
WOWOWO THIS GUY SO GOOD EPSORT ATHLET OF YEA !!!!!!!!!
YOU SAY LEO BETTER THAN DEMON1??? XDDDDD YOU STUPID!!! DEMON WAN BEST PLAYA!!!!

Yistyy [#15]

What is wrong with gunba?

Led the mayhem to their first OWL title in history.
Won another event (PRO-AM)
Placed top 3 in every single qualifier or event they played.
86% series winrate this year (30/35 games)

picking either gunba/potter/zonic/homme is pretty valid

demon1???

Alfa and Leo : I simply don't exist

Ullyr [#11]

It doesn't matter if they weight champions more tho, leo still comes out on top, by nominating demon1 they arent just weighing champions more they are completely disregarding the rest of the year. I dont wanna be that guy but if leo was from the united states and demon1 was from sweden, we all know who would be nominated.

you disregard that overwatch is statistically less relevant than cblol and we are one of the weakest regions
