MVP award so far --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ssumday - Has really taken on that "Huni" type of style and DIG for the most part are winning from his aggressiveness but I did a post before about DIG and in the later half of their splits they always fall down and collapse out of 8 or so splits 2013-2017(Spring) DIG has only 1 split that the team actually had a winning record in the second half. So while Ssumday and DIG are winning expect the team to crash at some point most likely after week 5.
Most Improved so far ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apollo - Been watching this dude since like 2013, Apollo before 2017 Summer Split was the most passive player I'v ever seen even more passive than Cop and that's saying something.
3.29 Kills per game(557 total) 2.20 Deaths per game(372 total) 5.58 Assists per game(944 total) and 307.7 cs per game(52,011 total) were Apollo's stats before the 2017 Summer Split but now that he's actually playing aggressive and has a team that isn't Team Coast of 2013-14, or the previous versions of NV as well as Team Impulse with it's communication issues with XiaoweiXio/Rush/Impact Apollo has actually stepped it up and making plays, flashing over walls, winning lane without hugging his tower 24/7.
3.18 Kills per game, 1.90 Deaths per game, 5.36 Assists per game and 377.2 per game are Apollo's numbers this split very Rekkles type of stats but with a lesser talented team around him.
Stuck in Elo Hell award ( Very cheeky friend - Very cheeky indeed ) ! 10/10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balls - 100% agree, no matter what he does FQ just can't do anything and while most will say " Turtles' fault" over and over I do think FQ will rebound in the coming weeks, just takes time.
The other players in Elo Hell are really just there because of themselves
Froggen may be a great mid and during lane phase does X amounts of damage but his style has been the same for his whole career, farm, farm, 1hr long games, farm, farm rinse and repeat. Sure he's had some ZZZZZZZZZ teammates in the past but let's not forget that he had a team very capable back in 2013 spring - Summer and 2014 Spring, he then got a team of his choosing 2014 Summer won EU but since hasn't done anything but 8th on average in both Eu and NA, Rekkles, Looper, Akaadian all don't need to change for Froggen but instead Froggen needs to change his approach for his team.
Ryu and Looper are honestly just getting beat in lane, since coming to NA Looper has been meh and so has Ryu who has been middle tier mid laner nothing more.
Piglet - Don't get me started on Piglet to sum up, he plays for TL they are around -20 games with him, without him TL are around +20 games won, goes to MID and got dominated within 20 mins was complete useless, rookie adc players Fabby and some other players at the time Keith and XX player came in and actually won instead of Piglet, TL subs Piglet back in and they lose ? hmmmm, doesn't take long to figure out WHO'S the problem.
Arrow - Can't win MVP and the next split with pretty much the same roster cry wolf. Another reason why NA and EU tend to just jump the gun as far as who's the real MVP. Arrow won MVP because he was good but wasn't near the best player for NA last year.
S$itstorm award ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IDK who gets this award but let's go down the list.
Lourlo - Anyone here play solo Q ? - Well there's always that guy that goes 0-0-0 loses and thinks his team is bad - That's Lourlo in a nutshell, has never ever won lane himself, can barley get 2 kills a game, can't tank and sucks with TP plays.
Keith - I think Keith may be the only and first time ADC player that has more deaths than Kills, oh wait he has 314 Kills and only 313 deaths so +1.
Turtle - No use trying to help or bash him honestly - Say what you will at this point
Grig - Played 2 or so games - he shouldn't be on the blame list for anyone, fan, coach or fellow players.
Lemonation - When was the last time Lemon was decent in lane ? 2014 Summer ? He's a follower of Hai nothing more.
Moon - Had a great 2017 Spring Split but if people actually watch Moon play in the LCS he's very conservative and plays very unsure of himself. He has a reputation of being like Goldenglue and if he can win or lose games(mainly lose) with a decent KDA none will think the wiser to think he was ever a problem to start.
Gate - remember when Gate had to step in and play for Xiaowei for TIP? - And he did OK at the role but casters were like " it's not his role he's a support" next splits plays support and hasn't done much.
ZIG - A good teamplayer for P1 but around below average
Inori - Tries that's all I can say he tries, but trying doesn't always mean that your good, look at some Silver players(myself included) we/they try to get to Gold etc but no matter how much we "try" we just have to realize at some point there are better players out there.
