Why people underrate Derke so much?

just saw this thread, and saw many other similar ones in the past
https://www.vlr.gg/245907/top-10-players-of-2023-imo/

why is someone like something demon1 making people's list consistently while derke isnt?

Derke was top 5 tokyo, while demon1 wasnt even top 10 (didnt even play jett)

Derke was top 5 emea league, while demon1 was barely top 10 (1.19v 1.08 rating)
people were calling something the best player in the world, when he hasnt even performed against the best itw yet. he got 1.22 rating in pacific league (80 less rounds than derke(1.19))
Derke was top 5 player at lock//in (min 200 rounds), while demon1 and something werent even on the main team.

again Derke has been doing this shit for longer than anyone, longer than yay , longer than aspas, and definitely longer than something and demon1. even his individual stats from this season are better than (or similar) something or demon1.

people need to stop disrespecting him. put some respect on his name.

Because Derke cringe aim style(crouch spam abuser)

He is the best duelist itw. Only Sayf and Aspas are on the same level imo. Something probably too but needs to prove himself @Champs

allat
demon1, aspas, jingg and something clear derke

Demon 1 clears, Aspas clears,
1Leaf clears, Keznit clears,
Keith clears bc clearly Botvi are nothing without him

Derke international trophies:
-1 Master that no one cares about, a lot of fluke wins
-1 Lock-in, invitational event that LOUD threw so hard at the end 💀💀

He’s not even top 5 duelist itw
Not even top 1 on EMEA cause Sayf clears him

Because they don't watch valorant and they hate fnatic. That's it tbf. If you know Valorant you know that derke could easily be the best duelist itw and there's only so many players that can be in the conversation with him.

This is the only W top 10 posted in this site today: https://www.vlr.gg/245898/actual-top-10-players/#30

the fact that kang kang is there in the list itself proves its a bait
Bro had one good tournament and now he is considered one of the best meanwhile derke is performing at the highest level for years and is not on the list tells how it is a bait

Its because many people, myself included. Could imagine any other top duelist player filling his place and still being a top 2/3 team easily. But most other teams rely on their star player to show up. This although discredits Derke a lot, speaks volumes to the team as a whole and Boasters and Minis handling of the team.

Yet derke was consistently top 10 rated player in every single event he attended since 2021 Reykjavik. He is the best duelist itw and no one can replace him on fnc.
