Recently, The Second Inven Global Global Awards (IGA) was held by The Korean media Inven Global, where in-modern editors and a number of other experienced journalists and analysts voted for the 2021 Best of the Year – Best Team, Player, Potential Player and Arena Story.
This time, the vote is the best rookie player this year (not only the world competition), the following is the Korean media's voting results and evaluation of the best rookie player (ranking is not the first):
(Players who want to win the Best Rookie Award must not appear on the MSI or World Championship stage before 2021, or have participated in bubbling tournaments or other major events before 2021)
Crocodile:
He was one of two rookie candidates who failed to qualify for the World Championship this year, and he did pretty well in this year's LCK competition. As the 2021 LCK Summer Race rarely saw a points battle between six teams, Croco was one of the reasons SB teams were notable this year. While the standings may not be a true reflection of his performance this year, he is definitely a player to watch in 2022.
Elyoya：
As the only Western player to be selected, Elyoya's achievements on the international stage are self-evident. Although there is still a certain gap between the Western team and the Eastern team, Elyoya still has a final four in MSI, as well as a result in the world quarterfinals.
Gori:
Gori is another candidate who failed to qualify for the World Championship this year, but his performance at the LCK Summers was impressive and was named the "Best Player of the LCK Summer Race". It also proves that he is at his best, that he can win any game he faces, but sometimes stability can be a hidden danger. Although the new season has not yet been officially announced, his future is worth looking forward to.
Gumayusi：
With a huge pool of heroes and excellent operations, Gumayusi quickly became one of LCK's most promising downside runners. His tacit cooperation with Keria allowed T1 to quickly top the global team rankings – and he did all of this in almost half a season.
When the club sacked the coaching staff to change the status quo, Gumayusi became the T1 starting ADC. When the team needed him the most, Gumayusi stepped forward and helped the team finish runner-up in the summer tournament and even advanced to the final four of the world championship. There is no complete list of gumayusi's best rookies.
Oner：
Due to past history, the T1's wild position is under a lot of pressure. Oner's performance exceeded many expectations and did not live up to T1's reputation in the wild position. From the innovative wild courses and operations, as well as the keen eye, all the LCK wild gamers feel the pressure. Now that he has learned more on the international stage, hopefully he will be a better player in T1 for the 2022 season.
