Shahz hasn't been near the top 10 for a year, with the release of chamber his role was pushed into irrelevancy. plus he's always been overrated as an IGL, SEN never won bc of their great strats they won bc of their great individual plays and their strats were always questionable at best, especially now when they aren't a top 10 team in their own region
IN MY OPINION
(Top 10 Duelists NA)
(Top 10 Sentinels NA)
(Top 10 Initiators NA)
(Top 10 Controllers NA)
I KNOW this is your opinion but you've SEN Sick and NV Victor under Wardell, maybe 2 of the most impactful duelists in the NA region rn. ABX Yay also shouldn't be higher than 9-6 in my opinion. Your missing my guy FNS on this list, such on under rated duelist, he hasn't had the most success but give credit when its due.
I think we can put Yaboidre above Autimatic after that absolute domination against c9 and I personally think that poiz or leaf deserves a spot on that list. Poiz looked phenomenal but he was kinda inconsistent. Hopefully we see him fix that. But leaf just is kinda always a pogger. I also think Babybay is under sick but that's really just my opinion bc Babybay is very good at times.
Overall a pretty good list. I like to see that yay is that high up. I might want to see Aleksandar or smth but still pretty good.
The only thing I disagree with you on is how you bring team success into the mix, I dont think just because SEN are the best team in Val worldwide they deserve to have 3 players top 5 in NA, that isnt how it works. I also think its very hard to compare players to others that play different agents, if you want to see my Top 10 NA List for the different agent categories, scroll up and tell me how you feel
Leaf should be here too
why is wardell on this list when tsm have done nothing this whole year? And he's at frickin number 2
Why is TenZ not one?
Why is Zekken not here?
Why are Crashies, Nitr0, and Ethan here even though they main characters that are not frag centered? If this list is for duelists only remove them, but if this list is for all agent types, add some other pros that carry their team on utility.. cos rn it looks like u threw together some ramshackle, incomplete list of fraggers
Why is Yay 4? Andbox aren't even top 10 NA
i feel like people don't understand how good of a player Ethan is. he said BEST player not the most acs player in NA. and Ethan is easily one of the BEST player in NA. guy was TOP 20 in the whole world in CS no one else in the whole valorant scene has done that except for 3 other players ( Brax , Autometic , Scream). ethan is always consisten even more then asuna. and i bet it let ethan play a duelist in 100t and the main star and see what happens. asuna plays so well cause he has supports like Ethan hiko and nitro all of them being probably TOP 10 best support player easily. of cause Asuna himself is cracked but he's the solo duelist in the team. it's his job to frag and others help him in that unlike sen where they play 2 duelist.
also C9 leaf , exists. And the disrespect by putting babybay over faza corey lmfao. corey always was better then babybay and still is. and people act as if brax doesn't play valorant anymore. shot up has almost the same amount of acs as asuna if we go by acs and he also carries his team most of the time. then there t1 curry also

brax and Ethan will easily go to top 5 if they play duelist and become the star of the team. t1 autometic already is playing great af after changing to duelist.
ALSO Sinatraa #2 if he comes back.
Wardell is still a bit too high for me and I think Vic could go ahead of both corey and leaf. Ultimately I think what every list has lacked, yours included is the importance of team success as good as a lot of these guys are the team success should be something to discern the good from the great. In sports like basketball, the top 10 are usually all comparable in skill but one thing that sets them apart is how they impact their teams in terms of winning. I think it should be the same in Val. Outside of Tenz and somewhat Asuna to a certain extent, the top 10 are very comparable. I mean are we really gonna objectively decided who is better between people like yay and corey or Victor and Sick? But what we can do is see that a team like Faze has seen a bit more success during VCTs in comparison to ABX and we can adjust the rankings accordingly. IMO at least
