calling mada a rookie when he was in T1 with yay back on andbox is funny af
rookie isn't just a term for franchising either because demon1 was considered a rookie in 2023 (actual rookie btw) if mada is a rookie in 2025, then most players in 2023 were rookies lol
Tbf depending on how you define it he was in tier 1 with LG so it's not like he's just popped up in t2 he's been around for a while
wait I might have misread 💀
Right if you consider a “rookie” who played in t1 for 2 years prior to franchising also tournament MVP “rookie” brawk has been playin since the game was in beta back in 2020
It think the best comparison is if there was 20 NBA teams, and you’re on one, then it goes down to 10, and you’re not good enough so you go to the G-league, but eventually you’re good enough to return
a rookie would be someone just drafted not someone who made a comeback after already playing
If you played intentionally before franchise you're not a rookie if you haven't and you didn't land on t1 after franchise you're a rookie
How many times did Mada play at VCT LANs before franchising?
The term "rookie" refers to playing on LAN in front of a crowd, because its a different beast to sitting at home playing in your Spongebob pyjamas
Hard facts. Stage/LAN play changes the dynamic so much. lol good Spongbob pajamas callout
