Im saying that sencux performed average compared to the other mids in his group

You might want to rewatch his games at Worlds if that's what you really think.

You also mentioned earlier about Exileh only getting good later in last year, was that just peak performance that doesn't count or did he just improve?

i dont believe it's fair to put xiye below perkz at all. at the very least, xiye should be competing with bjergsen and maple

I assume your earlier statement about late last year means that small IEM Exileh played at, he played against both these mids & did much better against them than against Perkz this split, what are your thoughts on that?

the past year or so has not been a good year for eu mids

I agree last summer especially was lackluster split from EU LCS mids, though I'd say 2 out of 4 individual performances in Riot events were still great internationally (Sencux & Ryu at Worlds).

No one's gonna deny that eu has had some great mids over the years

I'm not denying that LPL has great mids either, just was pointing out your biased view of player strengths.

Perkz has yet to prove himself internationally so I understand your thoughts on ranking him over Xiye, but that's not what I'm arguing here about, since I don't know if Xiye have had breakout performances internationally either.
