No idea what you're saying. He's actually Top3 in the world with Aspas and Zekken right now. You should see him on Split, its literally his playground ngl.

Did he have Meteor Karon Munchkin to back him up? If he did, greatest duelist in the world after Aspas perhaps.

munchkin is a flex by definition but he really only plays 3 agents, viper kayo and omen, which doesn't take away from how good he is but I'd say forsaken is the best flex. also, d4v41 best init totally unbiased

bro looks at the recent agents played by d4v41, he's a flex, not an initiator anymore (even in 2024 pacific leagues). And even in the past, he only played flash initiator as well, sometimes play fade on Lotus and rarely play Sova, so it's really biased to say that he's a best init. Best init should be given to Stax (although he doesn't play much Sova as well, but more Fade for sure), or Lakia (his utilities are goated, but his shooting is a bit meh lol).

I think Trexx is just as good as Riens, so that means Vitality is 60% of the best possible team out of the region. Really excited to see them play

Name the best player in each role. 2025 VCT will be a banger with so many good players. An All-Star Regional friendly matches would be so fun and epic to see in Valorant.

But i’m adding my own rule: No overlapping teams. It’d be easy to just put all of EDG, but that’s no fun.

Sentinel: Meteor
Controller: Persia
Flex: F0rsaken
Initiator: Kush
IGL: Munchkin

Americas

Initiator: Trent
IGL: JohnQT

EMEA
Duelist: Derke
Sentinel: Benjyfishy
Controller: Ruxic (kid is the truth)
Flex: PaTiTek
Initiator: Cloud
IGL: Saadhak

China
Duelist: Zmjjkk
Sentinel: Knight
Controller: Ezeir
Flex: Yosemite
Initiator: Biank (i’ll be real i forgot who is actually initiator on Trace)
IGL: SiuFatBB

Holy one person per team was hard asf i had to dig into the recesses of my mind but honestly was good to showcase some up and comers
