it have to be only one player, there has to be a balance between performance peaks and how constant this player performs, and how long did this person perform at the highest level, that being said who do you think that is the true goat of vlr? me personally, cant decide between aspas yay and chronicle

If we are focusing only on the trophy cabinet, its kronicle, but imo aspas is easily the most consistent (at the highest level) duelist, but I think forsaken can also be brought in, despite no wins, he has always looked really dominant on many different roles. Alfajer has also consistently been a menace, but imo aspas takes it

#50

nAts
Chronicle
Aspas
Saadhaak
Derke
Yay
Demon1
TenZ

IMO these are the candidates for that question in no particular order, and if i had to pick 3 from these they would be (in order) Aspas, Chronicle, Yay

Aspas has been consistent at the top level for so long that i find it hard to argue that he is the closest we have to a GOAT in valorant, though in all honesty i dont think anyone really is the GOAT yet, there just hasnt been enough time to figure out who it is yet. Chronicle i picked again because of consistency and because he has the most trophies of any player. Yay is Yay, he was incredible in 2022 but i dont think anyone can consider him #1 at this point because of his 2023 season (yeah ik DSG had its own problems excluding Yay but still)

Though Demon1 IMO has the most potential to become the GOAT of any player, he just hasnt been in the scene long enough to consider him for a title like that.

I'm going to disagree on the TenZ thing, I do believe he has a right to be considered just because of how dominant he was during the earlier stages of the game in masters Reykjavik. And yes ik that happened a long long time ago but this is a question of the greatest of all time not just recent performances, plus his mechanics are still great. Though by no means am i claiming TenZ is currently a top 10 player or something, i probably wouldnt even call him top 30 atm, but he really did define how Jett was played for years and i think that's important to consider, regardless of how much he's fallen off.

Also yeah, should have included Less, he definitely deserves to be considered, just forgot lol.

It's between yay and Chronicle, I'd add Demon1 to this conversation but we haven't seen enough of him yet. yay was undoubtedly the best player of 2022, he's got the stats to show for it as well as a trophy and he also won the Best Esports Athlete of 2022 whereas Chronicle is the only player to have 3 trophies which is even more impressive when you consider the fact that he's achieved this feat on two completely different teams. Demon1 is the only player to have not only reached but also surpassed 100 kills at a LAN event whilst flexing by the way but like I said, it's too early to put him in this level of conversation yet though he is for sure one of the best players in the game at the moment. Honorable mention is TenZ whom had 79 kills in 3 maps in GF in Champions 2021
