marteen

9/10 because
was a really good emea player in general
the world's best yoru player OAT no debate
nerfs came in and suddenly he had to adapt and he did adapt which is why I'm giving him 9
could have given him a 10 but didn't because I still think marteen can be even better on his current agents like he was on Yoru

8/10 always a very good player but improvement wise
I think Cryo did amazing this year with Nbs and his assistant coach coming in to rescue this team's ass
I think his team had more improvements, Cryo is just cryo he doesn't need to improve any more, he's one of the best

this one's a 10/10

sato/neon

#65
kyousukeluvr
0
Frags
+

sato was already very good by the time he was in m80 so I have 0 doubt that he didn't improve, he just got the right environment and teammates, which is why I won't rate him, he's already the one of the best
same for neon but I'll give neon a 10/10 because I was rooting for him wayyy before he made his debut and I was hoping he was gonna come and make LEV win a trophy, and he did.

#66

#71

I always don't rate jerrwin as highly and still don't 7/10
he's shaky not the most consistent and there's better duelists than him
I still think he can improve though, he's young

at kickoff i wouldve said artzin but now it’s either lewn, cryo, izu, or k1ra. avez also deserves a shout

#73
kyousukeluvr

Frags

good shout 8.5/10 for lewn and avez because really consistent player from before and I would say that the team growth for both is more appreciated
cryo- 8/10 always a very good player but improvement wise, I think Cryo did amazing this year with Nbs and his assistant coach coming in to rescue this team's ass also I think his team had more improvements, Cryo is just cryo he doesn't need to improve any more, he's one of the best.
izu - 8/10 consistent player getting even more better and noticeable than before
k1ra- 7/10 I haven't seen as much improvement from him but senti he's looking better on it and smokes is improving

#74
cirruss

ag as a whole kinda fell off after kickoff but i mostly said k1ra because he was on AG last year when they were one of the worst teams in CN. then he balled out against m8 at masters while igling

spike was always very good in my opinion
but now he looks even better
yes he's a one trick but his ability to take a nerfed agent and use it similar to what dambi does is absolutely amazing

Eeiu - 9/10 the best consistent player out of all the vct players imo, doesn't always have good teammates, still puts up a strong performance, and what is sad abt eeiu is he's a world class player, he improved even more after joining furia team because nobody expected him and art to carry this team to kickoff trophy
