If Aspas had no beef with Less and stayed in LOUD, he'd be in higher places with all stats lets be honest.

Look, i'm a long time EU fan, mostly Fnatic (League + Valorant) and G2 (League) from league to Valorant for over a decade, and as much as i love Leo as the next Fnatic fan, Aspas is just way too impressive as a solo duelist to not consider as the best duelist atm, and the natural of the role and his playstyle just makes him very hard to not be considered as the best player right now.
You just knows whatever duelist role/agent you wanna put him on, he either gonna carry the whole team even with an Ascent only Radiant AverageJonas on the team or just crash with the team cause he's outnumbered.

Leo, chronicle, Alfajer are to me the goats, with Chronicle being the absolute man. But unless i'm like 15 years younger, i don't have enough bias to shit on the players on the other teams to bring them up.

Even if Leo is consistently the best on initiator and Aspas is consistently around top 3 on duelist, duelist is WAY harder to be considered the best at with how much the aim ceiling improves each year

you do understand that leo is one of the most consistent players and also one of the most disciplined players in the world. The numbers he puts up while playing so disciplined is insane. He is forsure without a doubt the better player.

I feel like there's a conspiracy going on cuz everyone is just collective changing history surrounding Aspas and no seems to bat an eye. Aspas was not even a top 10 player in 2022 how was he a top 2 duelist. He was one of the least important player in loud's championship run but everyone is acting like he's been a top 3 player in his career. I know no goat in esport that has not performed internationally. The only time hes in the top 3 convo was in last year's regular season and the past month

the real version

Leo 2021
Global Rank Not in Top 5. Regional Rank #2 (behind Chronicle)
Leo 2022
Global Rank #5 ( behind Sacy, Crashies, Shao, Zest). Regional Rank #2 (behind Shao)
Leo 2023
Global Rank #1 (and hence, regionally too)
Leo 2024 (based on the VCT 2024 Circuit which is Kickoff -> End of Group Stage at Shanghai at the time of writing)
Global Rank #4 (behind Sacy/Lakia, Sacy/Lakia, Riens). Regional Rank #2 (behind Riens)

Aspas 2021
N/A
Aspas 2022
Global Rank #2 (OPTC YAY) Regional Rank #2 (if you group it as americas like it is now, otherwise clearly #1 in brazil lmao)
Aspas 2023
Global Rank #2 (EG Demon1) Regional Rank #2 (EG Demon1)
Aspas 2024 (based on the VCT 2024 Circuit which is Kickoff -> End of Group Stage at Shanghai at the time of writing)
Global Rank #3 (Texture, Zekken) Regional Rank #2 (Zekken)

Decide for yourself.

delusional about the Leo 2024 (he is clearly #1, Riens 2, Sacy 3, Lakia 4)
also I said Leo is top 7-8 in 2021, not top 5

The first line is so delusional I don't even know whether I should address it or not, but supposing you're genuine. lets compare Leo to everyone at that list
Kickoff
Sacy - 1st Place /1.06 Rating / Qualified for Masters
Lakia - 1st Place/ 0.90 Rating / Qualified for Masters
Riens - 2nd Place/ 1.02 Rating / Qualified for Masters
Leo - 3rd-4th Place/ 1.05 Rating / Did not Qualify for Masters

Madrid
Sacy - 1st Place 0.97 Rating
Lakia - 2nd Place 0.85 Rating
Reins - 7-8th 1.15 Rating
Leo - Did not Qualify 0.0 Rating

Stage 1
Sacy - 7-8th 0.94 Rating
Lakia - 2nd Place 0.95 Rating
Riens - 2nd Place 1.02 Rating
Leo - 1st Place 1.16 Rating

Avg Placement / Avg Rating for VCT 2024 so far

Sacy 3.33 Place / .99 Rating
Lakia 1.33 Place / .88 Rating
Riens 4th Place / 1.06 Rating
Leo 5th Place / 0.73 Rating (this is by generously imputing a hypothetical 10th place finish at Madrid)

So clearly, the others have been better.

As for the Second Line, I understood that, but i put "Not in top 5" to signify he wasn't elite because imo being top 5 in your position signifies a "World Class" status.

????????

Leo wasnt at Madrid. How tf can you just put that 0.0 rating in the average. That is most fucking retarded shit Ive ever seen.
Why tf does rating matter? (even tho Leo still wins in rating) Leo is the best initiator as he has the best utility usage, makes very little to none mistakes, and is a great 2nd caller on his team.

please stfu with this fucking bullshit

Thats the punishment for missing a masters. Once Shanghai finishes and we have the complete stats we can recompute this and sacy will be punished just the same way. But as of right now these numbers (with some caveats i will address below) gives us a simple estimate of the success they have had regionally and internationally.
You are correct, neither rating nor any stats analysis will ever tell the whole story about quality of competition, role in the team, effect on the meta, etc. For example, nothing in the above reflects how the way Sacy played gekko on Sunset influenced the way that map is played.
Another problem with this method is that it values all the events equally. Is there an objective way to compare events? As i said in point 2, there is no way to OBJECTIVELY determine these things, or many other aspects of game performance. What we can do is put numbers like these in context, and then reason about them. The point of the whole thing was that by simple number crunching, there is a strong case for multiple players above Leo at this point in time for 2024. Of course, most people don't need to see the numbers to know that someone who won an international event in a given year had a better year than someone else who hasn't won a single international match in that year. But this assumes we are being reasonable. Your take about Leo in 2024 isnt reasonable.

Here I'll make it even easier for you to comprehend. What do you think would be a good order to rank for these players? Remember that there is no objectively right or wrong answer, just go with what you think is the most reasonable.

Player A
Good Regional Performance / Solid Regional Achievements
Good International Performance, Great International Achievements

Player B
Good Regional Performance / Very Good Regional Achievements
Solid International Performance/ Very Good International Achievements

Player C
Very Good Regional Performance / Very Good Regional Achievements
Great International Performance / Poor International Achievements

Player D
Great Regional Performance / Good Regional Achievements
No International Performance/ No International Achievements

I dont think it's fair to compare different roles, simply Aspas is the 🐐 duelist and Leo is the 🐐 initiator...
