为什么Flamez是2024年的top7选手? Why was flameZ the 7th best player of 2024? flameZ secures seventh place in his debut appearance on the Top 20 players of the year list thanks to an impressive stat sheet in the toughest competitions and against the best teams. "I'm very happy to be in this position," he says. "I always said to myself that I don't care about [making the top 20] but right now it definitely means something very positive to me." His 1.11 overall rating only improved with the competition getting harder, as his 1.16 Elite+ (5th), 1.15 Super-Elite+ (8th) and 1.14 Major (8th) ratings show, and unlike most he didn't drop off when playing against the best teams, averaging a 1.10 rating vs. top 5 (7th) and 1.09 rating vs. top 10 (9th) teams. The Israeli also stepped up under the lights. His 1.13 rating in arena matches is once again even better than his average and even on par with the next group of players above, and he had a solid 1.07 in big matches overall to boot. All of this led to flameZ earning four Exceptionally Valuable Player awards in 2024, all at Elite Events or better: PGL Major Copenhagen, BLAST Premier Spring Final, IEM Cologne, and BLAST Premier Fall Final. Seventh was as high as he could go, though, as the group above outperformed flameZ in most ways, both award-wise and statistically. Considering the names around him and especially above, the aforementioned awards were not the strongest, as he was never in MVP contention other than in Cologne. And although the kills flameZ got were more impactful than most, leading to round wins 70.5% of the time (2nd) and multi-kills 83% of the time (6th), he had the lowest fragging output of players in the top 20 (0.68 KPR). He was also not very impressive in round wins overall with a 0.92 KPRW and a kill in only 57.8% of round wins, again the lowest of all players in the top 20.
