Jawgemo:
EG keeping their core has had some controversy, but jawgemo has shown incredible peaks, and he is one of the best flex/duelist players on the market not to mention how young and intelligent he is. This year in the league he can show just how good he is.
Tuyz:
I did not know much about him, but he and his team really surprised me during the SA lcq this year. TBK showed incredible improvement, and so did Tuyz and now that he is on loud with some of the smartest players, I think he can really shine. I really wonder what roles he will be playing for the team since there is a role clash between him and aspas though.
Leaf:
Some people are criminally underrating Leaf. During Challenger 1, he was arguably one of the best duelists in NA, and c9 just got snubbed by the guard to attend a Lan. After that, there was a confusing restructuring process that simply did not work and led to a performance drop-off. I think that with this new iteration of the roster Leaf will shine as a duelist once again since he will have a proper support system and some of the smartest coaches behind him to make sure he is successful.
EMEA
Molsi:
Molsi had an outstanding last dance with OGLDNUTD during the lcq and surprised many people including me. He is a very solid flex player and an even better raze player. I think with a new team with better firepower + his old coach (salah) he will shine in the league.
Rhyme:
A player who has been moved around so much. From playing in emea to na and now back to emea, I think rhyme is one of the most flexible players in EMEA. He can play every role in the game at a high level. Now he is coming into the igl role, I think he is a criminally underrated igl who will get the job done (especially in this drought of igls) for Giants. A lot of people in the t1 scene have praised him so I really think he should not be overlooked just because of his past performance on other teams.
QuitionerX:
Easily one of the best duelists in EMEA, but he often gets overlooked because of his team's results. If I recall correctly, QT was playing duelist and partially igling for his team which is mighty impressive when you look at the numbers he puts up consistently. Given time I think he can reach Alfajer's level. BBL has beat some decent teams in the past and I think with their new upgrades QT will be able to perform better and shine as an amazing duelist and a force to be reckoned with.
Asia
Tehbotol:
Tehbotol carried Boom in their champs run earlier this year. He put up incredible numbers on support roles like viper, breach, etc. Although it looks like RRQ may not have the best roster in the Asia League I think tehbotol will shine as one of, if not their best player.
K1ng:
A member of the OG Vision Strikers roster, K1ng is one of the best true sentinels in Korea. He was amazing on VS and when loaned to ONS his performance did not falter one bit. Although ONS did not have the best results K1ng was consistently putting numbers up on agenst like viper, kj, and omen. On a far better roster with GenG I think K1ng will reclaim his spot as one of the best sentinels in Asia.
Jremy
An incredible 6th man for TS. I firmly believe that Jremy if given the opportunity to play on all maps could solidify himself as one of the best duelist/chamber players in Asia. He has pulled through for TS countless times. He is a young and cracked player that will definitely shine in the league.
This took me some time to make so please let me know what you guys think :)
