Does peaking imply they were on top at some point?

Nope....just means they won't go higher than they currently are (or were). Unless they were just getting ready to sell a bunch of GB branded stuff (discs, apparel), I don't see how his leaving would cost them as much as they were claiming. Heck...I don't see how it would cost them what they claim even if they were turning out GB branded items.

Prodigy seems to think GB is the only younger up and coming prospect in the world of DG.

I'm pretty certain there's a lot of undiscovered talent yet that are just as good as GB but haven't had the chance to prove themselves yet.

A lot of undiscovered talent just as good as GB?

Are they playing on some remote island and throwing dinner plates at targets or are they just not playing tournaments?

So you honestly believe GB is the only 17 year old prospect in the world?

IMO, Prodigy peaked with their initial roster...

Anxiety can be a huge handicap in the competitive world and I give huge props to those who get out there in front of a huge crowd and are able to play at their top game.

He finished 4th in points last year (only 5 points below 3rd) and is US champion. Hardly a prospect at this point...
