thoughts?
yeah marved should be way the fuck up higher. mimi putting him at 17th kinda messed up his real placement. yay is consistently top 3 and consistency earns him #1. asuna hasn't proven to be top 10 itw based on his international performances. (also i mean come on, do you see the other players on the list?)
pretty reasonable list, its tough to rank the top 3, 5 or even 10 going INTO a tournament because it usually depends on players performances from months before or players that haven't performed on an international stage in a while (or ever), also taking different roles into account. maybe id have atleast 1 fpx player in the top 3 but maybe thats just emea bias lol
I dont even think I said anything crazy, literally just facts, like how can shao be lower than ardiis, yay is good but not top1, f0rsaken is not as good as people think he is very 1 dimensional, shao was literally mvp of the tournament he should be higher than ardiis and probably suygetsu too, jamppi is probably most underrated pro atm he has improved so much and has become a beast, easily a top3 players in europe, scream is 1 dimensional af like f0rsaken but has better aim and isnt as undisciplined, aspas is literally a god how is he not top10
Consistency is literally what separates actually good from worse. He was arguably best/2nd best Chamber in Masters 2 until FPX's final 2-3 games where he wasn't putting up as good of numbers but he didn't even have to.
Same situation as with player like Sayf. People still don't talk about him that much even tho he put up best Chamber stats in Masters 2 and even EMEA LCQ just because he isn't super flashy. Its like in CSGO(if you know) where you have flashy players like s1mple, and then you have players like device who was way more passive/boring and didn't have as many flashy moments. Both are insane and top 2 in their roles during peak form, but both play really different style.
Also in Ardiis case add the fact that he played good Jett and KayO as well.
even then ardiis isnt known for being consistent, he was consistent in masters 2 but he isnt specially consistent regularly, also there are simply better and more gifted players than him who are consistent, he is for sure a top top player but just not top6
Also how can you dare to compare devve to ardiis? What joke is this? Device rarely had a bad match, ardiis had a lot of bad maps before masters 2, being consistent is not the only factor that separetas good from worse, some players are simply more gifted and better than others even if less consistent, also people dont talk about sayf because 90% of valorant fanbase are dogshit players who dont know who is good and who is bad, sorry but you simply can argue ardiis is better than shao and even others like jamppi, ardiis is for sure top10 player in the event but still overrated in the platchat rankings which is what I meant, doesnt mean he is bad tho, I personally think f0rsaken is overrated af but he is still a great player, overrated =/= bad
