IMO for the year 2022

1. Best player - Yay
2. Best team in the World - No one has an upper hand. But since LOUD won the champions - LOUD
3. The most improved team - PRX/XSET
4. The most improved player - Marved
5. Biggest upset team - ACEND
6. Best match - FNC vs LEV(Masters copenhagen) or OPT vs LOUD(Champions Finals)
7. Most consistent player - Yay
8. Most consistent team - OPT
9. Most underrated player - aspas/laz
10. Best VCT Tournament - Masters Copenhagen
11. Team with most potential - DRX
12. Best IGL - FNS
13. Best Controller - Mako/Sugarz3r0
    -> I thought of adding the best duelist/Initiator/sentinel but the scope is so huge that it impossible for me to think a particular player who is the best in that role. Thats why i only added "Best Controller" since controller player usually play controller in most of the map and stick to that role, whereas it is not the same for players playing initiator/sentinels. But you are free to add if you have good idea who might be the best "sentinel/duelist/initiator".
14. Most Clutch player - Shao/Crashies
15. Most Entertaining Player - Boaster/Stax
16. Best Clutch - Ardiis in Ascent Bomb Site A
17. Team with most entertaining social media handle - SEN
18. Best Play of the Year - Turret
19. Best Secondary player - Derke
    -> Secondary player means if the main duelist or the one who takes he first stride dies then that player which carry forwards the team by taking the next duel. For e.g. in PRX it is f0rsaken or in FPX it is ANGE1/SUYGETSU
20. Biggest Upset in a Tournament - PRX getting grouped

You are free to add any other suitable titles. And would really appreciate it if you could bump it.

W post i will say, everything you listed i agree

kaesra [#7]

fnatic m3c was the best match this year for me imo
i didnt watch last two maps of optic loud and didnt watch fnc lev so i cant say much

That matchup was also one of the best but the engagement these matches got was superior

Aspas isn't underrated
Everyone one knows how good he is
I agree with everything else though

I agree with everything except I think Istanbul was a better tournament than Copenhagen - also OPTIC vs DRX or DRX vs FPX are definitely contenders for best match in my opinion

wolkSy_vlrt [#2]

-sugarzero +marved

Yess we can put marved up there, but this is just my Opinion, i think these 2 players play smokes much more smartly. Marved is much more default controller and is much more dependent on his aim. Mako n Sugarz3ro are also great aimer but they add that extra bit of crazy controller plays which looks very unique.

33AJ [#12]

Aspas isn't underrated
Everyone one knows how good he is
I agree with everything else though

They will now know how good he is after this tournament, after loud got grouped people also grouped aspas out of their list. But now he is again becoming the part of people's conversation.
Wait for platchats next video n see how they will be mentioning him multiple time, but did not even considered him in after masters iceland

IGLs : FNS, ANGE1
Veteran: DERKE, YAY
Rookie: Cryo, Zekken, Trent ,jingg

For clutch I think Derrek deserves some recognition.. LCQ was still part of the VCT circuit and he had most clutches by far
