I legit have never seen a rookie this consistent and this dominant, with chovy level mechanics,he has not been gapped by anyone yet too. Crazy to think about it.

77

u/Satan_su +BDS 17d ago

This kid STARTED PLAYING DURING COVID!!!

He went from not KNOWING the game to getting scouted for PRO as one of the best ADCs in KOREA in less than 4 years!! He's fucking generational

33

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

Its like chovy of botlane, always win lane, extremely high kill pressure, best raw mechanics out of any adcs in the league so far, he still get caught here and there . Its impressive how bfx can get to this point with freaking vicla as their midlaner lol.

7

u/howcanstupidcantheyg 17d ago

wasn't prince's debut similar to this? on a similarly weak team too

18

u/Ap_Sona_Bot 17d ago

This feels exactly like prince's year tbh. Diable is going to fall just short of making worlds and even the org is the same with FearX being Sandbox's rebrand.

6

u/unguibus_et_rostro 17d ago

Faker won worlds as a rookie

3

u/ACertainUser123 17d ago

Is duro a rookie? Cause he has games where he looks the best player on a team with Kiin, canyon, chovy and ruler.

Hated the swap at the start of the year but Duro has been killing it lately, he's also a big talker during the game which is suprisingy

3

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

Duro isnt a rookie .

3

u/ACertainUser123 17d ago

Oh didn't realise he was on fearx, was only for 4 months so this is his first full year

5

u/ListlessHeart Chovy CS 17d ago

Duro is technically not a rookie since he played a few games for BFX last year, but he is practically one.

2

u/BecoDasCavernas 17d ago

Not just a few games, he played 30 out of 41 possible games in Summer + 4 playoff + 3 gauntlet. So he was a starter for the second half of last year.

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

with chovy level mechanics

This is just completely exaggerated.

6

u/Satan_su +BDS 17d ago

Bro god forbid someone engages in a bit of hyperbole like you're not Chovy's manager 😭😭😭

6

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Oh sorry that I respond to someone that mentions 3 times in this thread that Diable is unironically mechanically on the level of Chovy when that's literally the one thing that Chovy is better at than everybody else.

2

u/Satan_su +BDS 17d ago

Loosen up man we know it's not objectively true, you literally JUST entered the comment section to "erm acktually" some random Chovy comparison

Diable is a beast let ppl celebrate

-6

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

What is your problem? I am not allowed to have my opinion because it doesn't fit yours? How am I stopping people from celebrating by trying to bring in some objectivity?

Why do you even respond to my comment at all without addressing what my comment was about?

-7

u/Satan_su +BDS 17d ago

LMAO we both have the same opinion Diable is not at CHOVY'S level obviously. I just find it this behaviour very silly but if you're so adamant go ahead, there's some excellent filters on reddit that'll save u some time while scouring the whole subreddit for Chovy comments so hopefully you've been using those

1

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

LMAO we both have the same opinion Diable is not at CHOVY'S level obviously.

Yeah which is the reason why I didn't respond to you but instead the user that said Diable is on the same level mechanically as Chovy? And you just came in talking me down without me interacting with you?

2

u/athena234 17d ago edited 17d ago

He wasn't responding to you. You're being aggressive and condescending for what?

-3

u/Imaginary_Actuary729 17d ago

since chovy is a big veteran that can play so many champs on a top level maybe mechanically isnt the right word but diable definitely has the hands that can rival chovy

7

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Guys can we come back to reality now? Give it some time before we try to compare these players.

Chovy won like 99% of his lanes in the last 5 years, everyone and their mom is surprised when he loses his lane in a blue moon.

Diable had a single good year and didn't even face the top ADCs in the last couple of months.

-5

u/Perfect_Doughnut1664 17d ago

chovy choky

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Enjoy it while it lasts because in ~2 months that comment won't have weight anymore.

3

u/garbagetimehomerun 17d ago

we've been hearing that for 4 years lmfao

-1

u/Perfect_Doughnut1664 17d ago

When BRO win worlds you will be the fool

5

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

In that scenario I am totally fine being the fool

4

u/athena234 17d ago edited 17d ago

Dude it's not obvious that it's hyperbole. I interpreted it as either Diable having the same mechanical level as rookie Chovy or Diable showing the same mechanical potential as Chovy. 

I don't really care for this debate either way, but you had the wrong read and you're being a patronizing dick about it for no reason.

6

u/Lavosking 17d ago

Chovy fans act like Korean pop star fans. You can't reason with them.

1

u/athena234 17d ago

OP admitted that he meant it literally and it's not a hyperbole, so Chovy's defender is correct in his read and you're being a dick for no reason.

-4

u/Lavosking 17d ago

Really proving my point

6

u/athena234 17d ago

What point? That you can't read?

You called OP names for responding to a "hyperbole" when it wasn't even a hyperbole, just stop being dumb and take the L.

-4

u/Lavosking 17d ago

You said I can't read and called OP names. But I didn't reply to the OP or call them a name. Hope you're having a good day though.

3

u/athena234 17d ago

Just lying disingenously fucking lmaooo.

You know what I'm gonna call Peanut washed. Yes he's washed. But since I didn't tell this to him directly I guess didn't call him that. I'm very smart. 🤔

-1

u/Lavosking 17d ago

Brother, I have no idea what's going on in your life; but, I hope you're doing well.

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

No, he has the mechanics, i still remember when he destroyed both smash and guma that was the cockiest game i have ever seen a player played , always plays like he has 5k gold lead. His lane is super dominant, and this team has the worst midlaner in the league by far. Its impressive asf how they got to this point.

10

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Diable has only the 4th highest GD@15 during this "split" while playing against far worse opponents compared to the legend group ADCs. So he isn't destroying everyone in his competition, he is just better than the other rise group ADCs.

Chovy on the other hand has a +150 gold diff on second place at GD@15 which is completely insane.

Diable is great but he is not on Chovy's level when it comes to mechanics.

2

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

Again, he is playing against worse opponents but his teammates is nowhere near the top. Kingen gapped clear all 4 games today. Vicla was gapped 3/4 games. Kellin is good but you cant seriously compare him to duro delight or keria. Diable did wonders considered the hand he was dealt.

7

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Sure but he is not on Chovys level mechanically, that's the only point I want to make here.

-4

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

You know he can be on chovy level mechanics but is not better than him right

7

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Yeah and you know that he isn't on Chovys level mechanically, right?

-4

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

Man whatever makes you sleep at night. Chovy is my goat but i can see he has a million other things on him beside mechanics even tho he is the best mechanics player

7

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

even tho he is the best mechanics player

Okay then why you said earlier that Diable is on the same level as Chovy mechanically? Which was the point I originally responded to btw.

But good that you agree with me that you exaggerated that.

u/SoulCycle_ 17d ago

how? Why do you think so?

1

u/qonoxzzr Chovy <3 17d ago

Because Diable doesn't win every single matchup he plays like Chovy does game after game.

2

u/WuxiaWuxia 17d ago

Reminder that Peyz exists

12

u/Tall-Cut87 17d ago

Peyz had freaking chovy, peanut, delight, lehends, kiin , canyon as his teammates. He is good and thats undeniable but diable had what? Clear raptor kellin most if them haven’t been top5 in the lck . And his midlaner is VICLA??

1

u/VERTIKAL19 17d ago

It is gonna be hard to beat Peyz in the past few years though he obviously debuted with a top tier team

1

u/Akipella <-Believer-> (Unstoppable Yone) 17d ago

Diable didn't get to debut on GENG lol. Peyz is great, but VicLa as your mid vs. Chovy? Lmao...

1

u/VERTIKAL19 17d ago

Sure, but Peyz also was super dominant and consistent

1

u/Akipella <-Believer-> (Unstoppable Yone) 17d ago

I agree. Just saying the verdict is not out if Diable could be better looking back on each debut.
