Who is better?
Is that true? The peak of Sacy was dropping 201 ACS against OpTic while Leo averaged 210 ACS in 2023 over the course of all 3 internationals.
Based on util leo always seemed to be the best initiator in the world at almost any given day
Mechanically leo is above Sacy
And when leo encountered Sacy (only once, in LOCK//IN), Leo was 8-6 in duels
Yet Sacy is still the more decorated player.
Of course, Leo is mechanically and fundamentally a better player, but Sacy has proven that he can be a kingpin for his team in high pressure situations and matches multiple times.
Like I said, Sacy's peak was higher, in terms of value and achievements but Leo is more consistent overall
All this talk of "Champions Sacy" seems to really raise peoples expectations. That being said we have some insane fragging initiators in top teams at the moment and I'd love to see Sacy reach that level again.
Leos peak was dropping 300+ ACS on Sova/Fade back to back against the former world champions in his first grand final appearance.
Sure Sacy has a champs trophy to his name and could even get a second one which makes him miles above leo in terms of achievements but saying Sacy had a higher peak than Leo is invalid imo.
But iirc correctly Sacy was a second caller on LOUD so in terms of such, (organization, teamplay etc) he is above leo, but pure mechanical abilities and util usage leo is so clear of Sacy.
He wasn't the MVP, pancada was the real MVP

Such a shame Sacy not getting his respect, and might never. The last round we saw him (at the time of writing) is the perfect example why. Perfect fade seize that completely counters Fnatic's only chance for the round - winning the heaven fight, - gifting zekken an ez 2k, winning the round and game.
But people won't remember it because it won't be recorded under ACS, Rating, or +/-. But it will win you championships, something Leo couldn't do because he got gapped twice by Sacy's replacement.
