4.tenz
5.boaster
he truth is that these five have stayed at the top the longest, and of course Boaster moves like an Immortal, but a guy who’s been an IGL for so many years and wins EMEA with every possible team is incredible. I also think Forsaken deserves recognition, and maybe Saadhak too. Of course, Yay was a monster in his prime, but do we want to count someone who played an amazing 1 to 1.5 seasons as a GOAT? I also forgot about zmjjkk, but I’d put him in the top 10, just like Texture.
"his team have been functionally just him" "players with non-existent consistency"
Doesn't this mean he has consistency across different teams? He has placed top 3 at champs every single year of franchising on two different rosters. I'm not even arguing that he's above chron, but its crazy to say he has non-existent consistency.
TenZ was always among the top in every year he played — sure, he had one standout year, but even in his 'worse' seasons, he still performed at a very high level. Compare that to someone like yay. Aspas, on the other hand, has been top 3 duelists every single year he played. Tell me, which year did aspas not meet expectations or fail to frag out like a monster?
Sure, they didn’t win as many trophies as others, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t among the best and most consistent players in the world. Nats didn’t win much either, yet no one questions whether he’s a GOAT.
As for exact placement — sure, maybe I got the order wrong. But the fact remains: if we’re listing X number of GOATs, both TenZ and aspas are 100% in that group.
