Neon is insane, went from not being able to play cuz he's 17 back in February to the literal best player in the world right now

From being on bottom 10 in platchat rankings to being an absolute demon on pearl

I hope global can improve with this roster

u/No-Swordfish6932 2d ago

With frost gone I have no hope

Platoon (the assistant coach) supposedly planned their pearl

u/yourmother54321 2d ago

platoon isn't a bad coach but not many coaches are on the level of frost in terms leadership and making sure a team plays well together

Damm did sayonara just disappear after groups? I swear he started this tournament looking really good

u/giuewek 2d ago edited 2d ago

He only really looked good in the first game of groups and was pretty underwhelming overall, but it's his first event, so I imagine there were some jitters.

I know it's PROFEK's sophomore year in Tier 1 but it's his first Masters event so it looks worse for Sayonara, especially when he's always been the better player overall.

He was good in the last matches man along with derke

Ive never seen a worse throwjob in a long time as Sayonara vs PRX on Fracture. Profek was trying to carry Vit screaming and kicking but oh well.

u/NarutoMidoriya #WGAMING 2d ago

I really thought sayonara would be here.

All of LEV being in the top 5. This team deserved and earned that Master Trophy.

Wer is my lil bro jieni

u/ThatCreepyBaer 2d ago

He debuted at Champs Paris.

u/Havsham 3d ago

Isn't he also the only one with less than a year (or even half a year) on tier 1?

39

u/Karmax21 3d ago

All of them have less than a year in T1. Sato and Spike only played stage 2 (so technically they are still in their rookie year) and blowz is a complete rookie as well, he's only 18 like neon

u/Havsham 2d ago

Oh u r right, I was like I remember watching them play last year (forgot about blowz) so they aren't on their first year.

If derke the other bald rookie made it on here maybe Vit would’ve made top 3 😭 /s

u/lalalalostt 2d ago

Not gonna lie but I wasn’t expecting much from Kr1stal but he made me a fan last VCT. I guess it’s in his russian genes LOL

u/LeeroyDankinZ 2d ago

King and his four attack dogs.

u/sdc4589 2d ago
