are you 100% that aspas was the best on that loud team? because I'm not

just because he is brazilian, aspas is wayyy far better than yay, consistency is something yay dont have, and will never have

individually? yeah. theres a discussion about pancada but to me, overall, aspas had a better year. less wasn't 100% developed yet and sacy and saadhak were inconsistent individually, compensating with calls and team support.

its fair to think yay was better but i dont think the gap was that big if there was a gap at all

nah tenz was good he was not the best player of that YEAR, as year implies the entire year and nats was for sure the best across the entire year even tho sen made all 3 internationals
also yay is objectively the best player of 2022 aspas is the goat but yay that entire year was the best player we have ever seen and he only got better at champs

Chronicle for 2021

Easily better than nats at champs
And I don’t need to mention why it isn’t Tenz. Shahzam was better than him post reykjavik

Chronicle 2021 is a 1x mvp
1x winner
2x finalist
And was also the best player when he was runner up

He was the best player on the best team, there’s no way yay had a better year

yay was just head and shoulders better individually, just like tenz and nats

it just simply is, he did in fact NOT lead his team to a trophy nor have outstanding performances so i don't see how he deserves to be in the discussion with tenz and nats

Because it’s the best player of the year — not a single tournament.

maybe a hot take but while demon1 was the best player at champs i think aspas, less and alfajer had a better overall year than him

I mean KangKang hmmm
I felt like for most of the year he wasn't consistent and even in Champs, there were two players in his team who were better than him up until the finals
I do agree he was crazy in finals but overall annual performance doesn't match the rest two

Aspas has to at least be top 2 for 2023. Other than Champs he was better than Demon1 and was better than Leo when he faced him.

cNed was comfortably the best player in '21, i don't recall anyone being as dominant in a single calendar year yet.
aspas gets 2022 pretty easily and no one was as good as riens this year.

recency bias is crazy, riens was mid up until the beginning of champs and then he fell right back down where he usually is towards the end of champs

not even close to Chronicle/nAts level, fluking a Champs victory doesn't mean shit. There's a reason why nobody wants him in tier 1 anymore
