Top 20 players itw after champs (no bias)

1. Aspas - consistently the best or 2nd best player on his team, win condition for a team that reached lower finals, stats are insane, huge impact on his team

2. Demon1 - Mechanical demon, extremely flexible, even though I hate him, every round it feels like as long as he’s alive, the round is winnable for EG

3. Forsaken - having 4 other cracked players around him hurts his stock a bit, but he has showed us that he is the most consistent player, with the most impact on his team. Again, extremely flexible and his aim is insane

4. Jinggg - this guy is the definition of wgaming. Very good mechanically, god tier raze, but is prone to overheats

5. Less - (maybe recency bias) again, a consistent monster. his recent performance against EG was stellar and showed why he was one of the best sentinels itw

6. Alfa - same situation as Less, except he hasn’t performed as well when it mattered this tournament, but still a great year from him

7. Leo - same with his teammate Alfa, his team’s disappointing result lowered his ranking a lot.

8. Mako - his performance at Champs was a bit of a let down, but I still think he can perform at top level again. When he does, he just feels like a player DRX can always rely on.

9. d4v4i - very good aimer, great util, and seems like he’s filled in a big chunk of the igl gap left by benkai, which sounds insane considering the stats he’s had recently.

10. Ethan - probably the most impactful player on eg after demon1. Impeccable util (apart from the occasional team flashes) and very underrated aim imo.

11. Chronicle - his recent performance at champs has been lackluster to say the least. But I still believe that his util plus aim is still world class by all means. His team’s results at champs have impacted his stats a lot.

12. Zmjjkk - hate to admit it, but he was overrated at Tokyo. I think the pressure kinda got to him and caused a very shaky performance at champs. He still has overheating problems, his whole team too.

13. Derke - this tournament has proved that derke isn’t the type of duelist that can carry his team. He is a very team oriented duelist and not the type that can put up 25-15 when his team loses.

14. Something - controversial take but I think something still has a lot of prove. His recent games have showed that this guy is very inconsistent and nervous. For me to put him higher, he has to have that breakout performance internationally.

15. Som - best player this tournament on a disappointing team. Not much to say except his team underperformed.

16. Saadhak - people don’t usually put igls on this type of list, but his impact is undeniable. Great reads on fnatic, and imo the best igl itw.

17. Jawgemo - a very good raze, with pretty good aim and mechanics. Although his performances are heightened by his team’s great stats and protocols.

18. C0M - great clutcher and util. Imo the xyp9x of valorant.

19. Qw1 - cracked duelist but sometimes disappoints. He could also use a better team.

20. Zekken - young star in the making I think he has the most potential out of any pro in Americas rn.

totally biased

I read and I like

mwzera?

maybe cned over qw1? i actually think he played pretty well at champs

keznit

Mindfreak >>>> s0m. He is clutch master and never throw. He is the most consistent player in PRX .

Alfa/ less should be atleast 2nd

Where tf is mindfreak or cauanzin they proved themselves at Champs, mindfreak is the only reason PRX beat EG

I read and like. I do agree with something being placed fairly low down but its sort of expected since this is his first ever international tournament. I do think mindfreak and cauanzin should be there. Also derke > chronicle currently.

Champs was painful for EDG fans. I feel like nobody, smoggy and chichoo (I think chichoo could be argued to be on this list, maybe even over KK) could easily be on this list if they were just so much more disciplined
