> [@Raigo](#): > > Takeshi went from placing like 10th/9th in 2010/2012 to 2nd in 2014 so i dunno I think rising players is more like people who we see potential in. Takeshi HAS risen to 2nd in worlds, he is not rising; we all know who he is. Rising players would be more like those people who have not been throwing for such a long time. players that are placing low which we still know about would not be considered rising to me (like Paul Dang; he doesn’t place high in contests, but he is pretty much famous and super awesome, but he wouldn’t be considered a rising player). In the case of Ky Zizan, he has already risen so he would not belong in the topic of this thread (to me). Remember - who do we see potential in creatively, contest wise, or even yoyo company wise. ---
