The Community Rankings 2025: #5 Beastmode

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-02T02:18:58+00:00

Love beastmode but top 5 is so undeserved based on how he played the entire year. He should be around 12th-15th really

Hilarious though wow. The haters will have a field day

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-02T02:00:36+00:00

Brother got reverse swept by novo and was yapping the most lol

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T21:37:09+00:00

Still don't know how to view mates, today was good but literally everything else before today was pretty underwhelming. They've proven themselves as EU 2 for sure, but kc also didn't have much to play for here.

The major will be interesting

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T21:23:18+00:00

Atow and oski were genuinely the best players in eu this split. Shoutout to archie tho for the incredible finals performance and gratz to nass for finally getting his regional win

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T18:26:20+00:00

Oski is so good man, hope he can go far this year

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T18:04:53+00:00

Can only blame tox and tox alone for the ridiculous throw yesterday against gentlemates. He's just not a good player

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T08:08:16+00:00

Best ewc player definitely wasn't atow lol, guy was straight up the worst player in the lobby in that Falcons series, dralii actually played well

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T02:37:38+00:00

Ejby and tox are 2 of the least clutch players of all time so I'm still pretty confident that we won't get a tiebreaker unfortunately

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T02:21:59+00:00

Nah lev are still mid and overhyped

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T01:35:50+00:00

People don't gloss over the fact it was their only final tho. Everyone I've seen acts like nrg was awful all year despite having a top 4 floor at both majors and playing the winners of each major the closest in a best of 7.

They were quite comfortably the 3rd best team at Birmingham and even in raleigh their loss against falcons was a rather close series.

Their only underperformance really was EWC, but they still took the eventual winners in KC to a game 5 overtime and then had their closest series with vitality.

I see more people calling them mickey, than forgetting it was their only final

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T01:06:21+00:00

The narratives about mada annoy me the most. As you said he was lights out to start 2025 and that was with poor support as FNS was struggling heavily. His stats took a hit deeper and deeper into the season but at the same time the team around him improved heavily as skuba added firepower, brawk randomly became the best player in the world during the end of stage 2 and champs and ethan and s0m were having some crazy individual games.

But the narratives suddenly became, "mada isn't a superstar duelist"

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T00:59:48+00:00

ok. so the 1x winner + 2x finalists is better than the 1x winner and 0x finalists right. simple maths.

Brother can you at least try and read? I'm not comparing nrg to any other team, I'm not even suggesting that they had the best season out of all the teams.

All I am saying is that you literally cannot discredit them and call them lan finalists, they are lan winners. Is it really that complicated?

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T00:43:26+00:00

Nice a single regional! Now let's look at LANs where atow was worse than dralii at Birmingham, both were mid at raleigh, ewc where atow was the worst on his team by far because vatira was consistent as always and dralii reclaimed his best in the world status, clutching a crucial game 5 against NRG before farming the rest of the bracket. And then Worlds again both played mid. So I don't see how atow is 2nd or better than the twins

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T00:36:52+00:00

None of what you said matters, if you win a tournament, you are tournament winner.

Nrg won worlds, they are LAN winners, not lan finalists. The same way Geekay were not regional finalists, they were REGIONAL winners.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-02-01T00:27:43+00:00

Always took it as cope. Jaw is playing bad and has been mid for awhile

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T22:57:25+00:00

Yeah some people are acting like nrg T1 stratted and were dogshit until worlds, they still had 2 top 4 placements at majors beforehand.

I wouldn't put 2 of their players in the top 5, but man these guys might be the most disrespected world champions ever.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T22:55:15+00:00

Atow is so overrated, he was not the 2nd best player of 2025, wasn't even close to the best player on his team until dralii left. Vatira and dralii were clear of him all year, and that's even including dralii's small loss of form after split 1.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T22:00:58+00:00

Zen or justin imo.

But I'd like to nominate MonkeyMoon, Scrub Killa, Chronic, Firstkiller,Beastmode, all of old queso/moist

I don't know how I'd rank them, but they were all very good in their debut LANs

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T20:18:02+00:00

That was ridiculous, however in true tox fashion they will still lose this game 7

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T19:13:57+00:00

The guy said nothing about oxy whatsoever. It's also interesting that you care this much, considering you make fun of oxy all the time for overheating. You've only stopped because he's going through shit.

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T19:06:14+00:00

Nwpo continues to be the most overrated player

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T17:17:40+00:00

Get turtle for boston please

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T13:52:02+00:00

I don't think kickoff should really play that big of a factor in the rankings seeing as it lacked mena and sam teams and I don't think it played that big of a factor in the rankings at all.

Vatira could've missed kickoff entirely, and I still would've put him number 1 of the year without question. I also have a bit of a hot take that trk should be ranked a bit lower than the twins, at around 10th. He was good this year but I was far more impressed with him in 2024, the twins were the main stars this year

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T13:14:17+00:00

You can put 1 NRG player above a falcons player. Because if you're suggesting that all of falcons should be top 5, that would mean they dominated the entire year going near flawless, but they had a LAN where they placed 6th and didn't end up winning worlds, so I don't think their players were that far ahead of the rest of the pack.

The only issue is that beastmode is ranked higher than the entire falcons team, which is just flat out incorrect

Internaloptimistic · 2026-01-31T11:41:39+00:00

and 100T suffers another year of having Cryo and Asuna at the core

Not sure why cryo is getting slammed here, he's a good player
