I fully believe that you can judge the level of a bands' popularity by the quality of their cover bands. Epsilon was this to Shinee (and a couple of other bands, but mostly Shinee) for me, and while I've seen a few groups doing Infinite's choreo that impressed me quite a bit, they just lacked a certain je ne sais quoi in terms of execution and

At first, I was reading your post while the video was playing and I saw from my peripheral vision Sunggyu starting to sing. I focused on the video and FUCKING MINDFUCK OF THE CYBER-ESPACE WHAT IS THIS MINDFUCK. He totally looks like Sunggyu from far, it's scary. Like... OMG.
And I giggled when Sungjong-like appeared, because he does remind me of Alexander. And their Hoya is so cute.
For a very long moment, I was having all these feels and cheering for them as if they were the real Infinite. I was getting all excited and squealing "Woohyuniiiiiiie! Dongwooooo! Aaaaaaah!" They are THAT good.
They worked hard and it shows, but I wouldn't go as far as to say they are on par with Infinite or better than them. I still can see how they all have their personal dancing style, which means they still kind of lack synchronization. The funny thing is it seems their Hoya-like has sharper moves, is more zealous, and their Sungyeol and Sungjong are a tiny bit sloppy. Just like the real ones. XD Sure, Infinite are far from being totally in harmony or like that so-called 100% synchronizatiion bullshit but I think the dancers did not focus too much to the "angle" and position thingie. When I used to practice Karate and participate in Team Kata competitions, we kind of had to train to be "synchronized" too, and being Infinite fans, you and I tend to notice more easily when someone is late in timing or has his hand lower than others and stuff like that. But they most likely never had as much time to train as Infinite, so their cover is excellent in many ways.

I watched this video after a long time not watching Infinite videos and having seem THAT FANCAM, I do agree. At some parts they are pretty synchronized, but they lack the finesse of the real Infinite; their moves are less clean and they probably lack the experience and lol yes, the weaker members are also dancing the parts of the weaker members of Infinite. Unsurprisingly, I thought their Hoya and Dongwoo were the best in the group, especially Hoya for all the reasons you mentioned. That said, they are better than 80 percent of the cover groups I've seen and their fanboying of Infinite is so damn adorable.
And btw I think the closest Infinite got to 99.9% synchronization was their performance on KJE Chocolate.

Their fanboying warms my heart. And lol at Sungyeol posing behind the camera. XD
