Top 3 Players in Every Role at Champs

#1

reremus

This list only ranks how well they play their role. I am not factoring kills or how flashy they are. Also please keep in mind with so many different comps being tested by teams, players that are known for a role are playing different ones. I will not be factoring that and will only be ranking them on their known/preferred roles.

Duelist:

Aspas
Texture
Sayf
HM: Zekken, Life

Initiator:

Riens
Hiro/Chronicle
Mazino
HM: Trexxx, Professor P

Controller:

Karon
Valyn
Tenz
HM: Boo, King

Sentinel:

Alfajer
Meteor
Benjy/Leaf

Flex:

d4v4i
Wo0t
Smoggy (stuck in Controller hell right now but super underrated flex)
HM: The whole PRX roster

Honestly with his form currently, I argue that Derke should be top 3

That's valid af, just depends on the person. I just like Sayf so I put him over Derke but their level of play currently is neck and neck imo.

He might be the best player on his team but stacking up against other controllers who either already have experience IGLing or don't have to worry about it, it doesn't look good. If he wasn't an IGL, he'd be second behind Karon.

lowk not a bad take. i might be reverse recency biasing, he's always been so solid
2/10 fkfd is tragic but once he gets himself in check, he takes over the server

It's just unfortunate that he has to take that responsibility. He's even expressed that he's uncomfortable doing so.

I can see that but I put him in Initiator because he mainly plays Breach and his breach is filthy.

The professor is G2's flex tbh, his most played agent recently is viper, he's just been stuck as flash initiator because of how G2's roles work but he's been shown to play anything really

sayf so overrated bro he’s good but he’s playing with KICKS RUNNER AND CENDER no shit he’s gonna rack up kills those guys aren’t gonna do it

Could go either way tbh. He's overrated because he can get all the kills. Or he's overrated because he DOES get all the kills.

Duelist:
Sayf is not better than Zekken, also Something should be there

Initiator:
Trexx Clears Riens

Senti:
Meteor on Top, also Alfa might not even be better than Benjy, and if anything he's a flex atp

Controller:
Im fine with this

Flex:
Roberto "Mazino" Rivas and Jason "Forsaken" Susanto belong here

Sayf is a better duelist than Zekken in my opinion. He does more with less.

Initiator: Vit have had the most mid season overall and are just now turning up. While Trexx does have the potential to clear Riens, Riens has been better consistently and has the results.

Senti: If you bothered to read my disclaimer, I said I'm going to be rating based on their known/preferred roles. I still think Alfa is the top dog in pure sentinel. I think Benjy has more popoff potential but Alfa is more consistent. I can see Meteor take over but I think Alfa edges him out, barely.

Flex:
I had Mazino in Initiator but I can see him in flex. Idk why but I was only thinking of his breach. Realistically, I could've just put the whole PRX roster on flex, I just like d4v4i more.

The rest are all fair points but regarding sayf vs zekken

Does he do more with less or does he do more because he has less?

Zekken is consistently the top fragger on SEN which has both Tenz and Johnqt (Sacy and Zellsis are supports).

Nobody else on VIT is a hard fragger (Trexx included, he's not a hard fragger the same way Riens is, for example)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also can't see sayf putting up these kinds of performances against top teams in bo5s

Meteor is a career duelist for the most part and only started playing Senti this season. While his performance is great, I'd give it to Alfa who has been doing it longer, more consistently, and with results to back it up.

i know mazino fries on initiator a lot but wouldn’t it be better to classify him as flex? he’s had insane games on smokes too (lev vs fut on bind, lev vs g2 in stage 1 lowers i think)

His harbor is also dirty, like I said, I just forgot about it. I mainly thought about his breach.
