Excuse my bad English.
You are free to put up Yours too and please avoid arguing based on someone else's or my opinion since everyone watches this game with a different mindset. Appreciate that

IMO for the year 2022

Best player - Yay
Best team in the World - No one has an upper hand. But since LOUD won the champions - LOUD
The most improved team - PRX/XSET
The most improved player - Marved
Biggest upset team - ACEND
Best match - FNC vs LEV(Masters copenhagen) or OPT vs LOUD(Champions Finals)
Most consistent player - Yay
Most consistent team - OPT
Most underrated player - aspas/laz
Best VCT Tournament - Masters Copenhagen
Team with most potential - DRX
Best IGL - FNS
Best Controller - Mako/Sugarz3r0
-> I thought of adding the best duelist/Initiator/sentinel but the scope is so huge that it impossible for me to think a particular player who is the best in that role. Thats why i only added "Best Controller" since controller player usually play controller in most of the map and stick to that role, whereas it is not the same for players playing initiator/sentinels. But you are free to add if you have good idea who might be the best "sentinel/duelist/initiator".
Most Clutch player - Shao/Crashies
Most Entertaining Player - Boaster/Stax
Best Clutch - Ardiis in Ascent Bomb Site A
Team with most entertaining social media handle - SEN
Best Play of the Year - Turret
Best Secondary player - Derke
-> Secondary player means if the main duelist or the one who takes he first stride dies then that player which carry forwards the team by taking the next duel. For e.g. in PRX it is f0rsaken or in FPX it is ANGE1/SUYGETSU
Biggest Upset in a Tournament - PRX getting grouped

You are free to add any other suitable titles. And would really appreciate it if you could bump it.
Thank You!!

Yess we can put marved up there, but this is just my Opinion, i think these 2 players play smokes much more smartly. Marved is much more default controller and is much more dependent on his aim. Mako n Sugarz3ro are also great aimer but they add that extra bit of crazy controller plays which looks very unique.

They will now know how good he is after this tournament, after loud got grouped people also grouped aspas out of their list. But now he is again becoming the part of people's conversation.
Wait for platchats next video n see how they will be mentioning him multiple time, but did not even considered him in after masters iceland

I agree with everything except I think Istanbul was a better tournament than Copenhagen - also OPTIC vs DRX or DRX vs FPX are definitely contenders for best match in my opinion

For clutch I think Derrek deserves some recognition.. LCQ was still part of the VCT circuit and he had most clutches by far
