ive thought abt it myself but im curious what most ppl say
just upvote someones answer if you agree
i myself think derke is the goat but im not sure of it
Don't make me laugh
if you are going to take these 2 examples.
yay was elite 2021 and 2022
aspas was elite 2022 and 2023, and he is still going to be elite 2024
how can you say derke has always been great when fnatic is also out of madrid?
If you mention aspas 2024 hasn't been great, derke's has also been shit.
derke was good 2021 and 2022
mid asf 2023, team carried him
And is showing to be an absolute bot right now,
derke was great 2021, 2022, 2023
idk how a year where he wins 2 tournaments with a 1.13 R and the third best player on his team can be 'mid'
also aspas elite 2022? but derke mid 2023?
aspas was the lowest rated player in the champs win, lower than saadhak igl. not to say he was bad, but your bias shows STRONG
2 tournaments yet the only real team he had to face was loud.
b0tke
during lock in
he faced 3 teams that didn't make a single international event and NAVI (in which he botfragged against navi.)
Tokyo
Beating an NRG that would come to lose to billibilli
PRX with a sub.
EG that barely had time to prepare since demon1's visa was barely in time.
EG again.
Outshadowed by all of his teammates except boaster.
Champs
got fucked all over.
Outshadowed by all of his teammates except boaster again.
Aspas 2022
Got out of tier 2
Destroyed BR Tier1
Absolutely carried in Reykjavik, despite the 3-0 loss against optic in the finals he was only 0.02rating behind yay in that match.
Copenhagen
Was good in copenhagen despite what happened...
Champs
Not the best rating wise, but one of the most impactful, fucked optic in upper finals, carried grand finals breeze (16-14 OT)having multiple MK and diffing yay on chamber
So, aspas and loud being 2nd in Reykjavik doesn't matter? In which aspas hard carried even in grand finals despite losing 3-0?
Copenhagen, even with loud bombing out, he still did good compared to the rest of the team.
Champs 22 he was not the best rating wise but won multiple important rounds and carried the grand finals breeze that went on 16-14 OT by himself.
And chronicle was way better than botke in champs 23.

The games he was better than chronicle were the 2 against loud, in which chronicle hard threw. (loud way better LULW)
and the zeta one, in which chronicle did decent, and derke still managed to go -2 in FK despite the 2-0 win.
But since you bring nothing to your table except saying that aspas champions rating was the lowest in the team, ignoring the other 2 events, i should stop losing my braincells debating with you.
ima just put this here for you
