he was just spitting straight facts he is nowhere near the best duelist itw rare honest moment from NA.
EU bias for sure, derke and sayf have been good as always but haven't done anything noteworthy all year, something I can see an argument for, but personally have him at 4 or 5. Zekken has been consistent the whole year, won a trophy as MVP, highest rated player in Americas currently. One bad game and everybody loses their minds lmao.

get him to be the best duelist in regionals then we will talk about him being above texture lol
btw i am zekken fan 3rd favorite duelist player but saying he is a TIER above texture is crazy
i agree 100% they are on the same tier (i think most people prefer texture since his performance doesn't slip when he swaps between jett/raze) he is in the same tier usually on this site when someone goes in a direction you go in the oppsite so you can meet eye to eye saying he is above is crazy tho and let's be real everyone on geng under performed in that GF (not discrediting sen it was just there first GF and maybe first event if im remembering correctly)
Based on Current Form
I was tempted to include a TH player but Wo0t has been on the decline and back on flex while miniboo is looking like a “system duelist.” Jawgemo is the only one not to have made playoffs but he’s also got the weakest support system while still popping off — showing his championship Raze and Neon abuse. I’m pretty high on Sayf but he’s struggling with the same thing.
Praying Icy finds consistency with his form from yesterday because G2 would look like an absolute favorite at champs if he does.
i heavily dislike making duelist tier lists its so inconsistent aspas is the best duelist all time and he got diffed by cned and valyn's life game and it gets worse and worse for the duelist that arent the greatest of all time (aspas) so on some days derke looks like a fraud and on other days u think maybe he is top 10 but lower (tbh i think u overrated derke EU has alot crazy duelist on somedays he isn't the even the best raze on his team)
but u can make a argument for all these guys to be top duelists ranking them except aspas is really hard depending on how texture performs u might not even have that
overall 8/10 tier list cned/oxy are replaceable tho
Appreciate it man.
I rated Derke highly because he’s stepped up quite a bit since Leo’s gone and looks quite good. He’s also got the tenure to prove his consistency.
I admit that I believe Americas has the majority of world class entries simply because of IGL role structures that results in EMEA fostering Initiators and Sentinels while APAC favors Flexes.
The following players are Top Tier Entries while the rest could be considered region farmers.
AMER: Aspas | Jawgemo | Zekken | Keznit
EMEA: Derke | Sayf
APAC : T3xture | Jingg
9th and 10th are up for debate but every list should include these 8 in some order.
it makes sense that americas has the majority of the world class entries and honestly you did great since your list only has one entry who splits the role (jingg) and i think he gets it cause he got the legacy of being the best raze itw and the rest are the main entries and honestly i haven't watched the recent FNC games with context its honestly the best tier list i have seen on the site 10/10 honestly cned and oxy aren't even bad picks you could lowkey get icy in there if your tier list is entry players honestly wouldn't invest too much into cned since his raze is shaky and im very optimistic about icy since SEN is a good win
