How is ASPAS the goat

If he was never the best player of a year and also didn’t even exist in 2021:

I think Chronicle is the goat for now man (Chronicle #2 2021 and #4 2023 >> Aspas #6 2022 and #5 2023)
Chronicle also more trophies, more finals, and has played every role in the game at a certain point in Valorant history (even duelist, when he was on m3c in 2022)

Aspas is the best player of today thats a big reason why people call him the goat. Although the title for goat is debatable, he is the best today

its really hard to have a goat this early in the game, it is much easier to have a current top 5 of all time which is: (not in any ranking)

chronicle: consistent since beginning of Valorant, probably highest average placement of any player
aspas: for the past 2 years he has always been in converstations as the best player, multiple high placements in tournaments
tenz: the best player of 2020 and 2021 with stats no one will probably ever beat, one of the best players of 2024, most recognizable face in Valorant
f0rsaken: put the APAC region on the map, even though never won, he has come 2nd, 3rd, 4th multiple times, most flexible player of all time

idk who would be the 5th maybe like mako

its because he was the first player to hit radiant or "valorant"

he's not better than Alfa or healthy Leo, stop it.

If a higher power told fnatic fans they would replace either Alfa or Chronicle with a mid, normal pro with the same agent pool every rational one would choose Chronicle.

chronicle is currently highest rated on fnatic and he had the highest rating on gambit in berlin. he was literally the best at some point on both of his dominant teams

He is the best player on FNATIC right now actually
Look at stage 2 stats

This is what happens when chronicle is on initiator and not on flex (he becomes the goat)

If you just look at stats you'd think Icy was a better jett than oxy (someone actually tried to say this in a thread a few days ago).

Nobody think's hes better than Alfajer, let alone Leo.

The only case for this is by looking purely at stats alone. Like I pointed out, you could make the case that Icy is a better jett than Oxy by just looking at stats (nobody believes that).

By the same token, nobody seriously believes Chronicle is better than Alfa, and we don't even need to talk about a healthy Leo.

He started looking like prime Chronicle in Gambit 2021

not only did I watch, I even stole one of his shock lineups on haven

Eye test, brain test, and past experience point me towards alfajer being better.

Only stats point to Chronicle (and the stats are similar too btw)

the difference is that oxy is on a bad team so his stats are worse. chronicle is on the same team as alfa so why isnt alfa fragging more and getting better stats? with oxy vs icy its because icy is in a far far better team

The Oxy example is used to demonstrate that stats don't tell the whole story.

But for the sake of clarity, lets just focus on stats:
Having (slightly) higher stats than someone at a point in time doesnt mean you are a better player than that person. This is because past events have influence on our beliefs, which are then updated over time with more data.

As a toy example, lets say the team that just won the NBA championship starts the next season with a record of 1-2, while a bad team starts 2-1 playing vs same teams. Would you say that team 2 is better just off of that? Obviously not, but if the NBA champion continued to have a bad season and the other team continued to have a good season, somepoint therein you would start to believe it.

Going back to val lets make the unrealistic assumption that the Rating stat is a perfect proxy for your true skill level/impact/etc, treating it as a parameter to be estimated.

Alfajer (and Leo) have been better than Chronicle for basically their entire time on Fnatic, and Chronicle having a (marginally) better rating this stage is obviously not strong enough evidence to put Chronicle above Alfa. If this continues in the future, he may begin to have a case, but having 0.04 better rating is not enough data to update our beliefs drastically. This is how rational people think, and it's actually how we are currently trying to teach machines to think in the field of machine learning. If you want further resources on bayesian statistics and the updating of beliefs with data, I will be happy to point you to some resources.

TLDR: Having a slightly better season that someone doesn't automatically make you better than them. Nobody reasonable thinks that way

yeah of course but thats more than im willing to do. anyway i only said that cause your post, #38, says hes never been the best player on his team for even a little bit. you explicitly said that.

stats dont tell the whole story of course but they do say something. chronicle has definitely been the best on his team for a little bit, such as berlin and the last month

One month is not enough to be better, especially when its by such a slight margin.You could say he had a (slightly) better month. If Chron keeps this same small distance between him and alfa through champs -> halfway through next kickoff or whatever, then I can say he's the best on fnatic. If its a bigger margin, then less time obviously. But as of now there's no reason to believe that he is better than Alfa, and that's only assuming that stats tell the whole story. In my eye test of watching the game, alfa's mechanics and getting 2 in situations he shouldn't seems to be much more important to Fnatic's success.

Also, GMB was Nat's team, we all knew it. People who say he was carried are wrong, but he was always #2.
