LESS A+? ATLEAST S++, also crashies victor should be minimum S

less is definitely a top 3 sentinel player in the world

less
nats
alfajer/suygetsu

if aspas is on par with derke as best duelist in the world and has a S++ rating

less should also be S++ imo, I LOVE LESS MY KING

crashies is goated but I don't think he's Leo, stax, Sacy, or Shao level

he is at the same level, u can replace crashies with any of those players (maybe not Leo) and he will do a great job...

If you seriously think crashies is as good as Leo then you're more delusional than me as an OpTic fan.

crashies is an incredibly intelligent player, and he has amazing firepower, but he does not have the sheer level of clutch power as all 4 of those examples.

Never said hes as good as Leo, he can fit his role but not as good as Leo (he is the goat)
But hes at Sacy and Shao level, hey he won masters dude has nothing more to prove...

ok so u are telling me that if u were building a team and u needed an initiator u are taking xeppa over crashies easily?

#18

What rank are you?

Xeppaa is a flex/flash initiator. He plays Kayo, Skye and Raze, he never plays Sova or fade.

Crashies is a dedicated scan initiator. Sure, he plays skye, but his forte is Sova/fade

They don't play the same role at all.

Now tell me, would you want Xeppaa or Victor?

Too small a dataset. Thats like me taking one game between Loud and OpTic where aspas did badly and deciding that yay is the better duelist.

I didn't realize Xeppaa was so slept on. Trust me, he's going to surprise you going forward.

Runi unironically has better aim and his team lost less rounds to sen than fnatic did, don't hate him just cuz he's new in tier 1, you remind me of dapr fans after masters Reykjavik who watched 0 nats games and called dapr undoubtedly the best anchor despite him having worse stats than Ayaz simply cuz he was more well-known.

–

aspas is the best duelist itw. Fnatic won because the burden of carry is shared among 4 S tier players which equates to less risk and more overall consistency.

Loud relies on Aspas being online a lot of the time to win.

If we're comparing pure proficiency at jett and raze, Aspas is better than derke no questions asked.

Derke was better even in 2022 without having 4 S tier players, but go off bro. i guess it isnt like aspas plays with the best sentinel in the world or an outstanding initiator player

This statement makes no sense when you come to realize that the one event aspas won (while having the best team itw at the time, like derke had in lockin), he dropped the ball while Derke solo-carried fnatic while having mistic and enzo on his team, two objectively mid players.

Champs 22 stats, while aspas had the same team quality that derke had in lockin, derke wiped aspas on an individual level if u check the stats. That alone tells you who the better carry/player is.

I agree that between Chronicle, Leo, and Derke, Alfajer is the worse of the 4, and I spent a solid 4 minutes trying to decide whether he was A+ tier or S tier, but I decided that he clutches wayy too much for his inexperience to exclude him out of S tier.

As for dephh, I think you should give him some time to prove himself under this new roster.

DRX:

MaKo - S+ tier(Best smoke/ini currently in the world)
Foxy9 - S tier (Top 3 dualist in pacific rn)
Buzz - A+++tier (CLOSE to S only bc weakness is that he can't fucking op but his aim is crispy)
Rb - A+ tier (Probably top 3 flex position in the world)
stax - A++ tier(RLY rare case where IGL actually frags constantly! IGL ability + frag = A++)
ZestKR - A tier (IDK, hes good sova, but other roles...)

HOW the fuck is ange1 S but u put stax as A+ 😂😂😂😂

Something needs to polish his playstyle a bit, although rn he's in a perfect team for him. When he gets more tier 1 experience I would like to see him on a more structured team than prx tho.

I struggled with DRX because all of them except for Mako feel like they're a centimeter away from being S tier but always being slightly worse than superstars on other teams.

I think the reason is because they're all so flexible that they can play every role at an A+ level but because of that can't master just one; they're all jacks of all trades but masters of none ig.

I'm willing to make stax S tier, I forgot DRX beat FPX

buzz doesn´t even need to op anymore or play duelist ever again thats foxy´s work and he can go back to his best sentinel of apac role

Watching Marved play really made me realize that he's WAY more than what he's given credit for. People talk about his lurks, but I have yet to really see anyone in the same tier as him. It's passed what an IGL can call, it passed what a team can possitionally set up. Marved has such a next-level handle on the game that his lurks can't be compared to a different player. If anyone other than aspas is S+++, it's him. Marved IS him.
