Breaking Down The International 2026 (ft SVG)

I actually have one self-indulgent question about that video, because actually, I would even say, Monty, you don't have to know.

If you just know the basics of the game, actually, if you're a modern fan, the best part about it is he tries to be fair to all of history.

and show that like the actual...

For example, if you were like Ferrari 430, you could never be number one on this list, bro.

Like the game, there wasn't even that much gold on the map to get.

So he actually does a very fair job of sort of filling you in on the history.

So I have one self-indulgent question, which is this.

When you were doing all the players...

Did you actually select essentially just a group of them and identify them? Because one thing I was surprised by was when I was seeing all these names, you had lots of different ones.

Molly was S4, no one.

But the one thing is my favorite player never appeared ever on this.

So was he really just not that good? My favorite player was Somnus, aka maybe the LGD midlaner.

Was he just not on this list? Was he excluded for some reason? What was the logic there?

Well, I'll preface this by saying that he's also one of my favorite players.

So if he had been on those lists, I would have pushed him.

And I went into that fully expecting to see him somewhere.

I thought he'd be

IOP.

Yeah.

We did not take anybody out.

All of the queries were done across as much of the data and arrows that we could use and normalized for all the inflation, all of the ways the game changed.

So that's why we get all these players from different arrows that we can actually compare.

The one thing is that it's looking at a peak window across six months because I wanted to not get in this weird debate about who had the best career.

Obviously, those guys, if you're Michael Jordan with six rings or whatever, that's a whole debate.

I wanted to just look at players that had performed really well in their peak, whatever that looked like.
