"miles" ???? bro the clutch rate and stats that shao had at copenhagen is insane and just because yay was playing chamber and getting many kill doesnt make him "miles away" better learn the fucking game

Shao only played well in Copenhagen and in Challengers
yay was the best player in Reykjavik, in champs, in Challengers and Optic stayed top 3 in all international events with yay being the star
he was the best by Chamber Meta, but still the best

#81

shao was the 6th and he had much more rounds compare to other that are above him except for yay and you just proved my point being able to play more agents than playing only 1 is much different like alfa chronicle and leo are what made fnatic better than what they were
i still do think yay was the best 2022 just because fpx wasnt in the first masters and miles away is a big word

Leo

quoting capital_d_colon about 2023 player ratings (international games):

Leo: 1.2449
Alfa: 1.1761
Demon1: 1.164721
Less: 1.1356
Aspas: 1.1293
Shao: 1.1236
Mako: 1.1194
s0m: 1.1122
Derke: 1.1072

Take these stats with a pinch of salt because they aren't entirely accurate.
Instead of the R value being based on Maps played its based on Rounds, due to the vlr stats page not displaying the amount of maps played.
It's just the quickest way to get the stats without having a database set up for it already.

Edit: Updated with Demon1's stats. Thanks to capital_d_colon.
