Explain why he is in the goat conversation according to shitmea fans? He has never even been the best player on his teams. He is the Robert Horry of valorant, won trophies with players better than him.

2021 - nAts
2022 - didn't even make it to LAN
2023 lock/in - leo
2023 tokyo - alfajer
2023 champs - leo and alfajer
2024 - derke

not saying he is bad but he isn't dominant at all to be considered goat. just good at his role.

Compare it to real sports. Tophy argument gets thrown out the window when you apply context. Like I follow nba for example, guys like Bill Russell and Robert Horry have more rings than Jordan, that does not mean they are the Goats of basketball.

no the problem is he doesn't have a high peak. can't be the goat if you've never even been the best.

You can be the goat if you're consistently ONE of the best and have trophies to back it up. No player in the game has been the best in the world for multiple seasons. So there is no definitive goat in the game, but Chronicle is definitely on the shortlist of players who should be considered.

https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/449/valorant-champions-2021, 4th highest rated player
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1494/champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo, 3rd rated player in the tournament
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/466/valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin, 3rd rated player in the tournament
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2097/valorant-champions-2024, 4th highest rated player
so according to you, this consistency is not worthy of shoutouts?

#22

Frags

there is no goat. to be the goat you need consistency, yes its true. but chronicle doesn't have the peak which is just as important. guys like tenz, yay and demon1 are on the other end of the spectrum where they have extremely high peaks but no longevity. so therefore there is no conversation.

this the type of guy to say peyton manning is the goat vs brady

just accept that chronicle is the greatest of all time of valorant history

2021 he won a dominant trophy and SHOULD HAVE WON ANOTHER IF RIOT DIDNT FUCK GAMBIT OVER
2022 his team goes to shit, still performs
2023 wins 2 trophies on the best team ever
2024 even when his team plays like shit he's still hard carrying

what more do you want the guy to do

I thought I made it clear already. I want the guy to win a chip as THE BEST player in the entire tournament or at the very very least, on his team which he hasn't done yet. The other crap you listed doesn't really mean anything.

I mean, I would argue to be the greatest of all time you would have to be the greatest at some point. If you are familiar with league esports, Faker is considered the greatest of all time in league but that's because he truly was the greatest at points in his career. Even in recent history, he basically solo carried T1 through their two recent worlds runs in the JDG series and in the BLG series. Chronicle has been consistently really good for a while, but he has never been considered the greatest player at any point, as even within his own team he is always outshined. He hasn't had the peak that players like Faker, Yay, Demon1, Aspas, and more have had. Being good forever will never make you the greatest forever. Not to say that he isn't one of the best, but he has never been the best at any point, just really damn good consistently.

that's exactly my point, bro only won because he was on a stacked team.

He is only in goat conversation because he was part of the stacked team. If he was on a bad team, then he would get blamed for their failure but on a good team some of the success of the team would be associated with him. You make it sound like fnatic and gambit were carrying chronicle instead of him contributing to the teams success.

He has never even been the best player on his teams

Why do you think that? Just because he's not the guy with the shiny plays?

He always has been a very consistent support for all the teams he passed. Three majors absolutely pass through him. "But he wasn't the best player in any of them" It's still three majors and no one has the same number. It's no coincidence. He was a very important piece for all of them. Although it's too early to talk about goats of the not even 5 year old game he should absolutely be in the goat conversation

And it's pretty dishonest to talk about 2022 like his country wasn't at war and he got directly affected by it lol

Leo is also not flashy, yet was always more impactful based on rating.

You make reasonable points, to me winning trophies means you are a valuable asset to any team. But if you aren't even the best player for any of the 3, you can't be the greatest to play the game. He doesn't have the peak.

And it's pretty dishonest to talk about 2022 like his country wasn't at war and he got directly affected by it lol

That's tough, but for fair discussion, I can't just ignore missing out on an entire year of high level competition even if he was a victim of circumstance.

Don't take statistics 100% serious without looking at context, specially rating. Leo was indeed the best player in the world to me on Fnatic, and he can and should also be on the GOAT conversation. But his impact on the team was not much bigger than Chronicle, if anything, it was pretty similar.

You can think that Chronicle is not the GOAT, and that's fair, because i don't think he is either. But i do think it's also fair to anyone else think he is, and that he undeniably should be in the conversation

I can't just ignore missing out on an entire year of high level competition

While i understand your point, i think you can't just ignore historical context either. Like i said, looking just at data without considering the context is misleading. Dude was getting sabotaged by the world, of course he "fell off" for a while. It shouldn't be a definitive factor

Like even the post below mine, they don't say anything of value and just expect you to take their word for it:

2021 chronicle was just as good as nAts

shAts is overrated too

he was just the best player on m3c

No, that was nAts lurking around the map and shooting people that weren't looking at him

made 4 gf winning 3 of them

One of them is lockin so it doesn't even count, Tokyo is a mickey mouse tournament because of the Franchising shakeup, and the other win was 5 years ago and entirely carried by nAts

and chronicle was incredible in champs for fnatic

Based on what? I'm pretty sure that was his worst showing of 2023 and they didn't even make a podium finish.

LOCK//IN is as credible as RBHG, Tokyo was like 2021 all over again.

Shake up all the rosters, give no time for a meta to develop or teams to prep, fluke a winner, jerk them off like they could have competed with 2022 Optic or LOUD for the rest of eternity.

Because there is no one who has been at the top like him.
I saw some comments talking about how the GOAT should be someone who was top 1 of the year, but im Valorant we don't have someone like that at the moment. Just looking at all the winners of events across valorant history, the other contender would be Aspas by winning champs 22 and top 3 in 23 and 24 but he wasn't considered the best of 2022 iirc.
In the four years of competitive valorant Chronicle is definitely the most consistently good (excluding Aspas)

#52

I'd argue aspas was kinda ass in 2022 compared to later years in the years after though he was really good but only on duelist so imo not really the goat
