MaKo Pancada and marved were the best controllers during 2022 but then MaKo continued his consistency in 2023, but his best placements are 3rd at champs and lock//in, and other tournaments he just placed 5th/6th so he had no trophies.
But all of a sudden a ranked demon in Karon appeared out of nowhere and got 2nd place at madrid and won shanghai and has more titles than MaKo lmao.
is Karon currently the best controller in the world? IMO yes
sure, but also, don’t lump in team success with individual performance.
They way to do these comparisons is to but both players in the other’s shoes and think about how well they would do in the others situation.
ie. imagine how well Karon would do on DRX from 2022-2024
and how well MaKo would do on Gen G 2024
I agree, Both karon and mako have some insane fragging clips and mako has the better legacy but currently karon has the better team.
I don't want to seem like I have recency bias but karon has been SO GOOD individually and smart. Same with mako but karon has more matches to shine and perform.
IMO currently it would be:
Individually: Karon > Mako (but a TINY MARGIN, theyr'e still both very close)
Experience: Mako > Karon.
But mako's individual performance will definitely fall off with his IGLing, but i hope drx can win a trophy because mako damn deserves atleast 1.
