G2 Americas Awards theory

#1

After thinking a total of 2 minutes about why there was no G2 player in the Top 3 of Player of the Year, i have a theory:

G2 doesnt have 1 star player that is above everyone else on the team, they dont have that 1 guy, the Lionel Messi of the team. So its not that people didnt vote for G2 players, Valyn and Leaf did win Controller and Sentinel of the year after all.

But some people voted for Leaf, some people voted for Trent, some people voted Valyn, some people voted for Jawgemo. In the end, G2 votes were divided for multiple G2 players.

When you think of MIBR and how they went from worst team in Americas to a Top 3 team in Americas the first player you think of is Aspas, he is that 1 guy above all, the Messi of the team

NRG votes were probably entirely Champs biased, idk who voted for them considering VCT Americas only

G2 players have no aura. Leaf supposed to be their best player but he chokes nonstop Internationally.

G2 only needs that 1 Messi on their team to win Champions

It might have to be BABYBAY

Leaf isn’t supposed to be their best, trent is, and he doesn’t choke. Champs performance was a result of coaching staff griefing him and making him play 10+ maps of Tejo

MIBR actually could have been something like this for 2026:

Valyn
Trent
Zekken
Aspas
Leaf

But for some reason it didnt happen

Then tex was probably inevitable

a The Guard tex valyn trent reunion would've been sick too. But i like how the rostermania went, a lot of stacked teams. I dont think 1 team will sweep Americas again

leaf was briefly considered for loud but it all fell apart when cortezia went to sentinels cause G2 wanted to keep him

There wasnt much controversy about player of the year in 2023 and 2024

But Boostio winning Sentinel of the Year over Less in 2023 was absurd, LOUD should have sued Riot for that

they were voted by pro players mainly so it is not a clout thing

idrc what your stance on G2 is, the fact that 0 players in the squad that clean swept americas were considered for best player is actually insane to me

There's absolutely no way G2 is barely anywhere to be seen and I heavily disagree with 90% of the awards given like how can you be this wrong the numbers are there and broadcast should be able to remember the games they cast
