nah im backing my goat mako
who would be above mako (besides karon if you're only going by recency bias)
you probably haven't watched vct for a while, dude is the only consistent player on smokes for a few years (VS to DRX '24)
even with his recently IGL, he puts up mad numbers and was rated #1 smokes in VCTP, and the only smokes in top 10 rating by a long shot.
pancada in his prime form would still be in debate with mako at the time (and his form only lasted for like 3 tournaments max)
boo is not too excellent IMO, he's also arguably the worst on TH and his rating isn't too high either
mindfreak is currently on fraudwatch for a while now, even when he peaked people considered him to be inferior to mako
marved WAS good, but I genuinely don't know what happened, he just magically dropped in form gradually since OPTC
s0m is a good contender, but not enough information on his consistency (low sample size), and most people are drunk in recency bias. compared to the dynasty over smokes mako has, s0m still needs a solid 2 years of this performance to be comparable
