I wonder what inspires him to do all these <| sep |> If you are in Diamond , you are good . Yeah , challenger is much better . But looking at the whole population of League , Diamond is objectively good . Top 2 . 14 % is good , assuming you ' re not boosted . If he can maintain that winrate while going progressively going against better players , that means he is getting better . You ' re not taking into account that he was Gold season 4 and season 5 . That ' s why he climbed so slowly . Because he was getting better along the way . Some people can play 10000 games and they still won ' t ever make Diamond . They won ' t maintain that winrate and therefore won ' t climb . There ' s no doubt that it won ' t take him nearly as many games to get into Diamond next season . And something worth mentioning , even if Flex Q wasn ' t being taken seriously , he got into Diamond 4 already . Not sure how many games it took him but he currently has 120 games in there so less than that . Not even near a thousand games .
