Screwb, brimstone and least of all Leaky cannot be considered underrated/under the radar.

I'd like to focus as much as possible on less well-known players, everybody already knows that players like JOE and Circa are incredible (edit: beat by 30 seconds)

thanks for the posts here & pms so far, keep em coming

possibly more roamer suggestions, it can be harder to tell how much impact a roamer has unless you're playing with them

Wolves/Jynx and Troopo are both really good and don't seem to get a lot of recognition.

Fabulous is one of the best medics in open, dont think he gets the credit for it

Hello loot Could You Please consider mana as an underrated roamer For Me? My Autistic Cousin "Mana" Is Dying Of Cancer And It's THe Only Thing He Wants Before He Dies

Another vote for wolf/jynx. Really smart player if you can get him to stop watching anime for more than 5 minutes.

for his first season in open as medic I think cookiejake is doing really good. He's definitely one of the most underrated and under the radar medics

I guess not an under the radar person, but Circa is a big surprise for me. He carried Malicious Activity DM wise in our match. I remember his name from like 10 seasons ago, but I didn't realize how good he was till now.

idk how good we are compared to top teams because we haven't played any yet. but if we've surprised anybody this season its because boar and right put the team on their back, and not many ppl know of them

and Demoted.

scouts: jynx, keith, fubuki, coughy, madoff, bwelp, duke em
roamers: plan, edy, daffodil
pockets: nessie, brimstone, twobold
demos: freddo, rightjustify

Here are some good up-and-coming fraggers. I left my teammates out of it on purpose.

On our team, there are a few folks that are recognized as being good, but not everyone realizes how good Bacon (mostlybacon, not Mr. Bacon or BaconRush) is at roamer. On top of his dm, he's probably the best of anyone on our team at making the smartest and most useful plays he can based on what others are doing and comming, which is a huge contribution to our coordination. It's especially cool because he only had two seasons of UGC 6s before we picked him up. He just lurked the scene before then.

Freddo is a really good demo

It's harder to stand out on a team where everyone is fairly talented but Mostlybacon definitely crushes.

I haven't seen many meds mentioned yet but Callum and fusion (not the scout) stand out to me

Differ needs credit, too. Definitely the best open medic I've played with.

I played a lot more disciplined on NAB than usual thanks to our combo in general.

inndecency is the best demo in open

From playing with him, I think emperor deserves more credit than he gets. He is a big brained gamer.

super flattered i'm on some lists. also super lucky to have my first season of open with daf and twobold. they both have done some fat damage on mids that instantly win us rounds.

unicorn_wizard and conky definitely seem to be the star players of their respective teams

I'd love to see a list of the most overrated players in Open.

stfu

TheYellow "fuck you brimstone" Cellphone is better than indecency

swy is the best point capper in open

dish pounds but everyone just sees him as a shitposter which is warrented

dish's damage is just like his twitch memes.
he doesn't make any, he just follows up on someone else's

Conky is a great one I forgot about

would be good to get some more mid open superstars too

As far as underrated or unknown players on our team go, Coughy is just that. Like others have said, you can hardly say that Joe, Madoff, or Gardener/Twobold/retard are underrated. They are obviously good players, but all three having played IM in the past, most people here already know who they are. Coughy literally has no previous ESEA experience prior to this season. Although playing alongside those 3 definitely helps him, my dude is definitely an up and coming fragger!

Also,
Plz get my man's tf.tv name changed to Coughy.

I am quitting tf2 for overwatch, smesi is now scout on the slightly nervous doggos.

y i k e s

I'm probably on it tbh

But yeah, that seems like a real good idea if we're looking to start more shitstorms of drama, but I think everyone seems to love that in their open threads anyway.

Edit: Scouts I've played against and have a lot of respect for: Troopo, Saturn, Emperor, Yuki/Fubuki

another vote for emperor as well, he's an amazing player.
