Zellsis just secured a generational bag for SEN this year with the bundle sales and won a trophy, they aint dropping him

Its getting removed in about 15 days so i wouldnt bother figuring it out

I would say its bc theres so many matches in a small amount of time that it just gets overwhelming and stale + there were basically no map changes this year
For me after Madrid there wasnt really excitement most of the times to see who would improve and Shanghai was dissapointing compared to other INT events

In before a group of:
GENG
LEV
HERETICS
BILIBILI

We will be there

I think Yay should be 4th bc in 2021 he had a similar peak to cNed - both were only on jett
And in 2022 Yay was still playing Jett on some maps and was producing the same numbers as the year before
Yes cNed is still playing at a solid level but i think that Yay is still slightly better all time, unless Fut overachieve at Champs

We have seen worse decisions from C9 so you never know

Runi didnt impress me at all, he had some pop off maps, but mostly has been average and is basically a filler player
Vanity has been with the org for some time so if they dont find someone who would fit the team better they would prob bring him back

I basically think they will tryout 2 or 3 players and if they dont suit with the management or the vision of the team they will prob keep Xeppaa

I doubt Oxy is leaving cus he prob has a huge buyout
With moose i think he played good enough to remain on the team or at least get another chance on some t1 team
Everyone else is doubtful

I think he played really solid for his role and should stay cus i dont think c9 will try to spend a lot of money
With Xeppaa hes been there a long time, he could go to like EG, but i dont think he should stay

OXY (100%)
Moose (85%)
Xeppaa (45%)
Vanity (45%)
Runi (20&)
Immi (-200%)

We all got frauded :((((

W opinion

Would love to see it

If they dont troll the roles its not out of range

they shouldnt be lower than TOP3 so i dont think so

they cant be bad for the rest of time surely

I can see them having a similar year as Navi had last year - good in the league, but not good enough internationally

based on what we seen from EG if they stay together, they are surely top 4 even in their circumstances, but i doubt they will be higher since there is toxicity in the organization
100T will probably be better, but i think that they are most likely to have a dissapointing season
As for G2 first does sound insane, but they have proven that they are tier 1 quality and have gained even more experience last year so i dont see why they couldnt be first

1. G2 - the core will prove why they stuck together
   __

2. Leviathan - i think they will struggle at the beginning, but it wont last long
   __

3. LOUD - they will stay good, but i dont think they will be contenders, the teams below them just dont have it figured yet or havent showed it
   __

4. EG - dead team, but would probably still do well if they stay together
   __

5. Sentinels - now when everyone knows their role, they should be solid

6. KRU - could surprise a lot of people, Klaus needs to step up
   __

7. NRG - who knows, could be Cloud 9 of last year or Sen of last year
   __

8. Furia - promising but there are many talented teams above them
   __

9. Cloud 9 - dont think they will replicate their form of last year
   __

10. MIBR - not good enough
    __

11. 100 Thieves - sadly i dont think its their time, they have a great coach, but its his first time as head coach, at best dont see them higher than 7th

Sideshow and Yinsu are co-streaming it

Sad for the players, but f the org

Ye but you cant play Neon on every map + it can be easily exposed
The fact that the comps were changed nearly every game didnt allow the team to reach the highs they should have is painful :(

Dont think that will be good if only Cned is gone, since the Jett wil probably be less played and i trust Zyppan on raze + they have a similar breach

NOT IN ORDER

Breeze (old)
Fracture
Bind
Lotus
Split

Agree

I think that if you wanted to make a list just by looking at performances you missed a lot of players like Zekken, Monyet, Zyppan, Buzz, Dgzin that were much better and consinstent than like Mindfreak or Zest

Arguably top 5 in the history of the game, but for this year i think players above him showed something that led to a major success and/or showed a similar skill

Personally i think its more about the way Less played and made the most out of his role + the expectations for Less was lower than for Aspas at the start of the year considering Less had an outstanding performance at Champs but it wasnt for sure that he would continue that and the team needed that of him if they wanted to continue being in the conversations for big titles

I mean most of the people put Aspas over Jinggg and its not a wrong choise but imo i dont think its all about stats considering that they play very different styles where Jinggg is always trying to make a play where he isnt guarranted to win a fight while Aspas plays more constructed and barely gets caught out

Since they had similar international success i didnt put them far from one another and dropped him from 6 to 8 because of EG players that deserved to be higher for their impact

Its true that he didnt have obscure numbers, but he finally didnt have to in order for his team to win, he still showed a very high level of play and almost had a flawless year so i think he deserved his spot, as for Aspas he played amazing, but i think every player above him showed something that led to a major success and/or proved a similar level of skill

I think Jinggg was clearly the most consistent player for PRX which is why he is the highest ranked
In terms of everyone they all performed very similar, very good, but not anything that would have been worthy of a higher placement (except for Something if he was at Tokyo and played the way that he can play)
In terms of Mindfreak hes my favourite player on the team, but can be so frustrating, he had a really underwhelming regular season with a lot of ups and downs, and if it wasnt for the clutches, he wouldnt even be in the conversation - unfortunately he is a part of the system that isnt meant to show off and is supposed to just do his job, except when he is needed

Ye thats kinda the point first half of the year was really underwhelming and even though he played very good at internationals he still wasnt impessive enough imo to be mentioned, if it wasnt for the insane peak at Champs i would have excluded Jawg also

Bar the grand finals Jinggg barely had bad games and was stellar ever since Something came in and even when the team was without Something, still showed amazing level of play

Crashies was the main reason NRG didnt flop as hard as they should have, pulling out some incredible plays which were keeping his team in the game
Buzz rarely had a bad showing this year and stellar performances until Tokyo, but played up to his standards at Champs, which also prevented DRX flopping at back to back tournaments

Aspas has been great this season but every player above him showed something which resulted in major success or proved to be in the same standars in terms of skill

Honestly maybe Sayf was held back by his team, but he really underperformed at Internationals and only showed solid play against the likes of KC,BBL, VITALITY and bar that match against FNC didnt beat anyone outstanding

He played very well at Lock in and Pacific given the circumstances and at Tokyo and Champs didnt look out of place
I think that if it wasnt for the Foxy9 thing he would have been closer to the top 10

Definetly wasnt a bad year for him, but overall in terms of success and ability i think all players above him showed something more, no matter the expectation, except for Ethan, but his consistency and a win in the grand finals gave him a slight edge imo
As for Less i think he overtook the title of the best player on the team, really took a huge jump and was a key factor in LOUD winning games they arguably should have lost

Was a close call, but Derke almost had a flawless year in terms of success and didnt have enough bad games to be considered lower, so just went for him by a margin

In terms of stats and performances they are very similar, but overall Jinggg had a better year in terms of international success so i put him higher, if he didnt have a very bad showing in the grand finals, he would have been in the top 5 imo

Its a ranking posted before the final, made a new one

I did, posted a new one

Zellsis

Just didnt get the result of the players on the top 20 and i think the players above him had a better year, although it wasnt by much
