ROTY

1. kaajak
2. brawk
3. patmen
4. skuba
5. mada
6. hyunmin
7. verno
8. cortezia
9. kushy
10. sato

some ppl might put brawk first but kaajak was consistently fragging and got top 2 in 3 int events, insane rookie year although he didn't win
I think brawk 2nd is justified, he really turned up at the end of the year and became nrgs x factor
I put patmen over skuba as while skuba did have insane impact, patmens team difference was legit immediately noticeable, and I think directly lead them to winning. skubas addition obviously boosted nrgs firepower, but if Ethan didn't evolve as an igl and bring bonkar back they would not have gotten as far.
mada is in 5th because he was insane throughout the season, although in champs he didn't do as well he's still insane.

nah Aspas clears

Cortezia snubbed

Hyunmin over Mada

lowk skuba better than patmen

HM: Avez

Mada above Kaajak. The matches Kaajak was able to play in the finals or semifinals were largely thanks to his superstar team, while NRG had three rookies. Therefore, Mada was in worse shape and still demonstrated dominance in the Americas, EWC, and Champions matches. So Kaajak can settle for second place.

patmen too high, doesnt have the impact the same way top 6 does. the difference is mindfraud being out, not patmen being in.

HM: yamyam

I think brawk should be first
