Rank all the players from Optic Gaming

My personal Ranking of players from optic gaming, even though they all are fucking amazing , its just a fun thought process dont take it toooo seriously

FNS
Marved
Yay
Victor
Crashies

I put FNS at top because there's not a lot of experienced successful IGLs in NA right now and FNS is also very flexible in terms of what agents he plays ,

marved too because there's just not enough S tier smoke mains who can single handedly change the game on their own

yay plays an important role in optic's gameplan but there's replacements for him (like wardell or like leaf, IM NOT SAYING REPLACE YAY WITH LEAF , ITS JUST A THOUGHT PROCESS)

crashies i feel is the most replaceable because , NA has a lot of good sova mains with LAN experience and amazing mechanics with sova ultimate and other util.

Victor is also a hard one because there's not a single good Neon main in NA right now other than victor, there's a lot of good raze mains though

i feel like fns despite being an insane igl isnt nearly as valuable as someone like yay who can dominate the server

You just cannot replace FNS and be sure that the team would hold together on its own , like for eg , look how v1 did after vanity left and they played with odereus, yes they found a replacement in zander but , their team literally crumbled in NA LCQ
Also its really really hard to find a good IGL in NA right now , even in EU to some extent , look at liquid and g2 , they're struggling to hold their own without a real IGL

Yay is lower on my list because he is replaceable tbh , there's so many insane chamber/jett mains in NA like cryo,leaf,wardell etc , i dont think finding a replacement for him would be a problem

envy were getting nowhere before yay joined. a good igl is 100% important but the most valuable player is still yay since you need someone to actually execute the calls you make.

i think victor is good but i think people overrating the fact he can play neon. Other players can learn to play neon, leaf can probably play neon since hes pretty well versed on many agents, kanpeki and tenz can play neon to a good level (albeit tenz isl probably not as disciplined as victor). Just saying that victor isn’t as irreplaceable with his agent pool, and i would put him on the bottom for his really inconsistent performances throughout 2021 and somewhat 2022.

everyone can play neon... but can anyone play neon at the highest level like victor does? no. Deffo has done it and it was short, soulcas did it but he was lacking what victor has as a neon player.

they were getting 4th place usually, thats not really getting nowhere but yea yay did definitely help

I actually fully agree with this

VLR users only care about stats

1-FNS
2- deosnt matter he is optic

Honestly Crashies seems like the only potentially replacable one and he's still an incredible player
