the way HLTV does it is basing it off the whole year so i thought i should maybe include him because he was a god in stage 1, but i replaced him with russ

Hltv would probably put TenZ as number 1 based off the fact that at least for now, Cned hasn't really proven himself internationally at least. Also you kinda have to add Nukkye

????? each region doesnt play enough matches with other regions like in cs thats why in the first place we dont have world ranking for teams right now hence doing a top 20 players list is just useless since its all flawed

I dont think mwzera 4 makes sense, because the team he plays against are just shit teams in shit region, if mwzera is 4 then russ should be top 7-8

Btw idk why its formatting is so weird or why the numbers are weird at the end. It looks fine in the editor but when I post it, it does this.
Also, reasoning behind putting Penny, Lakia etc above cNed and Asuna: They didn't qualify to the biggest international tournament in Valorant, so I had to weigh that in even though I think they are way more skilled

I dont think a top 20 for the entire game works when there are only going to be 3 internatoinal events this year. Maybe like a top 10 for each reigon could be made by vlr at the end of the year.

imo mw literally did nothing this year, should be way lower, maybe top 10 still but not top 4 & there's NO WAY ShahZam is lower than Zellsis lmaooo. I'm not a SEN fan but ShahZam should be on the top 3, carried and TenZ is one of the best players of the world but I think top 5 is a bit of hype getting in the way, he should be top 10 or 12 or something like that.

Its true- TenZ was the MVP of Masters Iceland, and ShahZ popped off only when he was on jett, he doesn't deserve a top three spot on this list at all

the year is just half way through, wait 6 more months and I'm sure your list will be completely changed

also imagine putting mwzera at #4, when all he played was against BR team (and we all saw how BR team did against other regions)

Shahzam is at least top 10 imo, maybe top 5 instead of mwzera because his team hasn't really done much.

Tell them to step it up then and win MVP of Iceland and you can say that it's because of their team but it does not change the fact that they haven't proven themselves

I think your list has all the people that are good. But I'd replace rb with T3xture because honestly rb isn't that good. Maybe even BuZz is better or Seoldam(Korean Jett). Idk I feel like rb is just slightly overrated.

For once I agree with Netero. Lakia in my opinion should be like top 10 because he is probably the best sova in the world (To the brazillians who say sacy he's good but lakia put up a much better performance on LAN). Not having him there is like a sin.
