Man I wish Contractz got more trust and love after everything going on with NRG last year but he has to be able to carry bad teammates to be higher rated… and yeah he is constantly pushing the line of what is permissible and what is viable and if he doesn’t make it work, that’s a misplay. I think SR have the potential to break top 4, but I doubt we’ll see them on the global stage… maybe summer.
I love UmTi. He had some suspicious moments for sure, I hope he cleans them up. I’d really like for him to stick around for a while. Maybe my favorite personality all time in the LCS/LTA.
I would love DSG's roster so much more if they just kept Tenacity or picked up Dhokla, why would you want to bring a player with that Immortals stink onto your roster. With that said I do hope Castle can perform consistently this split, would be nice to see DSG perform well.
Just commenting on this before watching all the way through. Yeah, not sure why people get up in arms about the minuses but no issue with the pluses. Just negative connotation but I always thought it was a nice way to parse the talent at each letter grade in terms of "value at position." The way I understand it, C, B, and A are all separations of "gross power" - the average power of even higher variance players in A is still greater than the average of even the most stable B player. It separates players *between* tiers. While + or - (or nothing) is specifically separates players *within* each tier. It's a designation that's a combination not just of consistency but also peak of play - example, an A- grade player 1 could be high-variance, some games running it and giving about a 6/10 but other games absolutely take over and crush unassisted and run a 10/10. But you can also have an A- player 2 who is the model of consistency, delivers 8/10 games pretty much every single game. But they never reach those same heights and average out to the same "strength" as the first player. While an A grade player 3 may dip to a 7/10 but be able to reach that 9/10 or even the occasional 10/10 level. That example is how I see the difference between an Inspired A grade (player 3) vs, say, a Quid A- (player 2) or even a Jojo A- (player 1). Not exactly 1 to 1 but roughly speaking.
Personally I Reay do think the dig roster is interesting for sure and all perhaps I'm a underdog enjoyed or just srrty enjoyed but I'm hopeful they are a good roster maybe not in the top 2 but it will be interesting to see and all in my opinion
i dont think the zven and vulcan bot lane will work out as well, prob not bad but i dont think itll be a def top 3 and i really am scared LYON gaming will not work out at all
Blaber is still the best jungle in the league. Collapse of last years team hid his brilliant individual performances, he will be the best in 2025. You can hold this over me if I’m wrong 😂
Damn~ SR won the offseason *hard.* I still can't believe they somehow got their hands on Fudge. Despite what every emerald on reddit says, he's a solid toplaner who has the potential to be top 2. Kinda disappointed by C9 and 100T for just deciding to be number 3 or 4. Meanwhile DIG's roster straight up looks like a scam roster. Where's the firepower? How are they going to win games? This roster looks worse than SR's 2024 one lol. They're extremely lucky DSG exists because DSG is going to be the worst team regardless of who they have just because they haven't established the necessary systems to deal with the hundreds of problems every tier1 org faces. Orgs like Fear and SN are way more tier1 ready than DSG. Just like how good players like Revenge looked horrible in IMT, every single player in DSG is going to look horrible in 2025. I think everyone committed career suicide by signing with DSG with the exception of Scaryjerry because he will be the only player everyone else will give the benefit of the doubt. Lyon gaming is probably going to punch a bit above their weight class. They *are* an org that dominated their region for a *very* long time which means as an org they should be pretty complete compared to bottom of the barrel orgs like IMT, DIG and DSG.
I give this video an A grade
Favourite channel on TH-cam you are one of the few that has real knowledge about pro players respect.
I'd argue Inspired should be A+ atleast in the context of NA. But otherwise no A+'s is fair
Yea I agree, inspired is A+ in NA
Grats on 2k!

Inspired clears blaber every day of the week, Inspired best play in region
I voted Yeon for MVP last year.
Eyla being B- is criminal, C- on a good day
If A+ is best in the league how come there isn't anyone with an A+ rating? Surely the league has a best player
