yea I usually say top 2 is marved and s0m but people say demon1 (although I would argue that purely as a smokes player he is not nearly as good)
Demon1 as a smokes player objectively is better than TenZ and Jawg, those 2 are simply Omen flex fills, I'd much rather list players like Bang, Supamen, potentially Zander, v1c, Skuba, gMd in the conversation for good NA controllers over duelist flex guys that put up numbers.
Like sure theres a huge gap from the likes of Marved and Valyn (objectively the best 2 NA smokes all time) followed by the likes of consistently really good like s0m, Bang, Supamen.
Reason behind some of the tier 2 names/upcoming tier 1 is because those guys have been playing smokes most of if not all of their career and have been arguably some of the best in the roles for that time. Are they better players overall than TenZ Jawg and Demon1, no but as a pure controller player yes due to role versatility
