something i see after every tournament is not just bayo hate, but an equal amount of high/top players defending their friends that main bayo for not being carried. Sure, you may not be “carried” to the fullest extent, because you have a good understanding of the game,

But with bayo/cloud, you can just play them and do well without having a good knowledge of the game. Yes, salem, tweek, mistake, zack, etc are all amazing players, and they arent carried by their mains as much as people say they are, but without bayo/cloud,

Do you still think they would be top 20? Without bayo do you still think salem would be #2? Again, i dont want to come across as saying theyre straight up carried, because they arent; salem has an amazing understanding of the game, & bayo adds gas the fire.

If Salem played a top tier he would do just as well, it’s stupid to think otherwise. Bayo mains aren’t carried and no, she doesn’t allow people to do better without a good knowledge of the game or there would be more good mid level bayos. And there aren’t.

If bayo was banned (which i dont agree with, using as a hypothetical) and salem mained cloud, zss, diddy, or sheik, he wouldn’t be #2. He wouldnt be top 10. He would still be prob be pgr’d, but bayo makes great players better undeniably.

I actually disagree. If you or I mained bayo for a year while remaining at our current skill level, we wouldn’t get PR. It’s safe to assume that this remains the case at top level, most likely to a more extreme extent because of the higher skill of the average player.
