Can Viktor's legend ability place a generated token directly onto an empty battlefield on turn one to score a point?

Ruling: No, you cannot place a token directly onto an empty battlefield on turn one. Tokens must be played to your base first.

Nuances:

• In the video in question, the player actually played the token to their base, not the battlefield - the physical placement on the mat just appeared close to the battlefield area
• The battlefield was already in play in that game, and the point was tracked late
