Since the IGL is one of the most important parts of a team (for the most part), I want to hear VLR's opinions on the many players who have taken that job in their team. I've separated all the IGLs from as many of the franchised teams in Americas, Pacific, and EMEA, and some from China into some groups below. This is not a ranking, rather grouping players based on their experience, history, and success in their careers as IGLs. Also please help me out if I got any IGLs wrong or missed anyone. (Help with CN pls)

Championship Winning IGLs:

  • saadhak (LOUD)
  • Boaster (FNC)
  • Boostio (100T)
  • ANGE1 (NaVi)
  • Redgar (GX)

IGLs with International Success:

  • stax (DRX)
  • Haodong (EDG)
  • vanity (C9)

IGLs with Tier 1 Regional Success:

  • MrFalin (FUT)
  • kiNgg (LEV)
    ----------------------------------------------------
  • Laz (ZETA)
  • berLIN (FPX)
  • Melser (KRU)
  • JessieVash (TS)
  • fl1pzjder (RRQ)
  • Crws (TLN)
  • valyn (G2)
  • pAura (BBL)
  • JoXJo (DFM)

IGLs with Tier 2 Success:

  • johnqt (SEN)
  • crazyguy (BLD)
  • beyAz (M8)
  • Enzo (TL)
  • Munchkin (Gen.G)

IGLs who are unproven/have little success:

  • Boo (TH)
  • Ethan (NRG)
  • kon4n (FUR)
  • MAGNUM (KC)
  • russ (GE)
  • NaturE (EG)

Which IGLs are going to surprise and bring their team up this year? Who will disappoint? Will we see another team like PRX ditch their IGL? And is IGL that important of a role? Tell me what you guys think!

Personally, I think crazyguy will be a good IGLin tier 1, fl1pzjder will also surprise people. And I think NRG will succeed if they tried something similar to PRX, even without a main IGL.

I can accept that 100t may disappoint but Boostio? nah Boostio is the goat man, if anything hes gonna be the only silver lining of this 100t team if things do go wrong

im saying he will disappoint because things WILL go wrong. With 100T, they always do.

He might have the most perfect calling in the world. But 100T is cursed as fuck bro

Boostio will be good...but 100T may not be able to play up to his level sadly

I think Munchkin igl'ing Crazy Raccoon before, so he should be in tier 2. Also RRQ igl is flipz, not xffero

ethan's probably the obvious toss up, but i honestly think he'll be alright. munchkin and berLIN are my picks to surprise, new Gen G didn't look awful with no prac and as long as FPX don't overcook they will be really good for qualifying to events

Agree about FPX, but I think their greatest problem is berLIN overcooking... however they have crazy firepower, all of FPX are strong fraggers
