Underrated players
I want to bring attention to a few players that can be that X factor for their teams and can shift the momentum into their favor, but are rarely being talked about...So here it goes, in no particular order... I will be skipping on a few teams, as I feel their "clout" has made everyone on their team noticed (OPTIC, Loud, FNATIC etc)
Feel free to mention some more underrated players down below.

DRX BuZz - Sentinel main for the team who's stats are surprisingly high even when he is taken off the Chamber duty. He is very calm and collected. Rarely makes mistakes like overswinging, going for hero plays etc.

Guild koldamenta - lowkey an underrated IGL. Very efficient in clutch situations and seems to have a top-tier read on the game. His timings are also off the charts and he never has an issue putting his life on the line if it means placing his team in an advantageous position.

XERXIA sScary - Controller main and a top 5 player from APAC who rarely gets love. I was so impressed by his ability to utilize his own smokes to find frags and utilize them in a more "sentinel fashion". Absolute beast!

FPX ardiis - "Whatever you need him to be" main for FPX. The man utilized a lot of agents with high efficiency. He is one of the most selfless players in this Masters. Need a Jett? He can frag, or he can die and be traded for 2,3 kills. Need a KAY/O? Here are some free kills for you.

Leviatan Tacolilla - I have been on a LEV wave for a while now and made some at times ridiculous claims about them (which are now true). As much as I dislike Chamber being overused in this meta, very few can boast stats and impact on this agent as Tacolilla. 1.6KDA in like 20 games...(I don't like bringing up stats, but come on... 1.6!!!) Plus, the way he uses map to create off angles aggressively is a joy to watch.

PRX mindfreak - Controller main on the crazy PRX team. Want to know how they win rounds when JIngg and f0rsakeN die? Look no further! Precise smokes and utility, clutch gene, probably the best Brimstone in the world too... This man is crazily efficient.

P.S. Someone put me on NORTHEPTION wave, I gotta check them out too

I love aspas, but no, he's not, lol. Aspas is in the top of every tier list of top VAL players rn, well deserved at that, but everyone knows how good he is.

-1/10 dogshit thread

meteor is missing

STATS

mwzera https://www.vlr.gg/player/939/mwzera/?timespan=30d
meteor https://www.vlr.gg/player/13039/meteor/?timespan=30d

can you take your time to appreciate how insane meteor is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is goood is CHAMBER. There is a BIG difference between a good duellist and a raze abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with chamber.

mwzera? not good with chamber
aspas? not good with chamber
xand? not good with chamber
tenz? not good with chamber
cned? not good with chamber
scream? not good with chamber
d3ffo? not good with chamber

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf raze and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like mwzera and uk london players again :> He is almost every game mvp.

International stage is my main talking point, he is easily overshadowed in the debates and "best on their agent" talks, which is why I have included him.

I am very aware that he is known as a scary opponent to go up against (pun not intended)

Every FPX player tbh especially Ardiis and ANGE1 because no one ever mentions them. No one ever mentions ANGE1 when talking about IGLs even tho he led this team to stage 1 victory and stage 2 2nd place while also being important part to some of their comps with Yoru play etc. Ardiis as well as you said. People never talk about him when talking about his role because he isn't your super flashy player, but brings pretty consistent results and is important part of FPX's system.

I know kingg is already considered the best player in leviatan, but he is like their keznit. Probably underrated by the general public. Also think bcj is a lil underrated as he is a really good flex player. Meteor is crazy and the biggest reason zeta lost def underrated. Koldamenta has alr been at 2 masters i def dont think he underrated by people who know the game. Benkai should def be there an underrated player and igl for sure.

PRX benkai fosho the most underrated player, gets so many crucial trades and mid round kills all while igling and being PRX’s main source of whimsy
