Can we talk about Swagzor having the best stats in VCT? Everyone has been talking about Primmie because he consistently drops nukes in VCT, and Neon because of his consistency, but no one hypes up Swagzor enough.

For the past 90 days, Primmie has been averaging 254 ACS and 1.30 K/D on Jett, and 252 ACS and 1.16 K/D on Phoenix.
For the past 90 days, Lar0k has been averaging 271 ACS and 1.23 K/D on Raze.
For the past 90 days, Vo0kashu has been averaging 253 ACS and 1.31 K/D on Cypher
For the past 90 days, Neon has been averaging 247 ACS and 1.34 K/D on Jett

Meanwhile, for the past 90 days, Swagzor has been averaging 303 ACS, 202 ADR and 1.48 K/D on Raze, 283 ACS and 1.56 K/D on Jett, and 254 ACS and 1.21 K/D on Neon.
In 2026, Swagzor has been putting up better ACS numbers than every single VCT player and somehow no one glazes this guy enough

I mean, Swagzor's been having an absolute tear in CN Stage 2 right now, carrying Nova to a (as of me writing this) 4-0 group stage record and upsetting EDG 2-0 in their opening match. But his past 90 days stats are kinda inflated with Nova winning the Mickey Mouse tournament that is CN Evo Series Act 2, which didn't really have a highly competitive field. CN teams that went to London like EDG and XLG fielded their academy rosters, other VCT CN teams like AG were trialing new subs/stand-ins, and Nova's first match in the tourney was against a CN Challengers team.

As for why we barely hype them up as much as everyone else from other regions, we just overlook CN as a region in general for a lot of reasons (hard to tune into the official broadcast unless you follow Project Horizon, low-quality macro play outside of EDG that devolves into raw aim duels and gets smothered internationally by the right teams), but we especially overlook teams like Nova and TYLOO that have yet to make an international at all. Lar0k brought a core of Premier players to BBL's first ever VCT international as an organization in Santiago. Primmie and Neon also had stellar Stage 1 performances and got their teams to their first internationals in London, both since Champs '24 (note: technically it is FS's first international as an organization too, but they have the ex-Talon core who already has international experience).

That being said, there's been a lot of breakout stars within CN alongside Swagzor like f4ngeer and Splash. I just hope there's more people like you willing to look at them.

his stats are a tad bit inflated from farming in evo but regardless of that he is still cracked asf

as the ppl above noted, CN doesn't tend to get as much attention from western audiences even though their production blows
