After you watch Rush play on his stream at night you wonder?

Each night I take the opportunity to get on Twitch tv and watch ex Tip and C9 Jungler Rush take to the rift. Rush plays the game far faster than any of the rest of us humans are able to. He romps through his jungle far faster than anyone you have ever seen, then takes scuttle then looks for ganks or invades. Once he gets rolling he sets the entire map on fire. His accuracy with skill shots, auto spacing, and mechanics are equal to Faker, Apdo, and Bjergsen. But the amount of map pressure he exhibits in the game is Multiples more than the best players in the world are able to achieve.

On Nidalee he is absolutely unstoppable. I used to main Nidalee, i've watched the LCS, and LCK play Nidalee. Rush's Nidalee is so good that he can beat Faker's Leblanc. On Lee Sin he's a genius. Imagine Svenskeren's Lee Sin but even better like multiples better 3x better maybe. And at world's Svenskeren's Lee Sin has been the best we've seen so far. Last night he played Kha Zix and was so terrifying to the enemy team they had to death ball with their Renekton who was 19/2 and Rush wasn't able to penetrate and get ganks anymore although he sure tried to 1v5 the enemy.

To surmise Rush is one of the top four best players in the world. He is by far the best Jungler. And its a tragedy that this mechanical genius is not at World's or even on a team. My dream is that SKT hires Rush next year and we can see Rush and Faker destroy the rest of the world and show us really that this game can be played at even more inhuman levels than we've yet seen.

Rush wouldn't fit into an SKT team very well IMO, he really shined in TIP because it was a team that was all about aggressive playing. However you really need a team that is willing to comp around it to go ham like that, and that isn't really SKT's style.

I agree completely. I'd imagine C9 already wishes they had Rush right now considering that Gragas is no longer viable and Meteos' has had to rely on more mechanical jungles because of his small champion pool.

Rush is a great player and he is one of the best players in the world but top four.. maybe but it's your opinion and I can understand why you think he is top 4. You said it yourself he clears the jungle well and is a Lee Sin gOD with skill shots etc etc. Beat Faker's LB a very hard task to do as I think Faker has only lost 1 game on LB in 4 years and the last time was MSI 2 years ago against EDG and Pawn.
I'm not saying SKT would not pick him up or anything but Rush is a VERY aggressive player to the point where he would just die multiple times to try to make 1 play which is a double edged sword.
It also doesn't help that the NA "troll" mentality has now affected him. It's hard to explain but another example would be for Zven in G2 where during the bootcamp before Worlds he got infected by the Perkz "troll" whenever he dies he would just laugh like it didn't happen or it was Ok to die etc etc. Perkz was that type of player but Zven wasn't now Zven if you watched his Streams before Worlds each time he died he would just give off a "Perkz" type of laugh and look where G2's at right now 0-3 where they were supposed to be top 2 in their groups if not in the top 6 best teams at Worlds this year. That is what I mean by the "troll" style that Rush now has.

He is a good player but he is not a shot caller.

Rush is good but theres a difference between solo queue streaming and Competitive play. There are people convinced Box Box is the best Riven ever LMAO. Like I said Rush is good but not top 4.

I am interested to see what Rush gets into next year. Maybe TL will pick him up? Or didn't he mention going back to Asia?
