Chronicle was always Gambit's best player, anyone who followed their games since CIS league days with Gambit Sunset knows that. nAts hit his prime during M3 which made people believe that he is better, sure nAts is a legend in his own rights, he was literally top fragging as a Sentinel in that Fishka team during broken duelist heavy meta but he was not the best on that Gambit team. There is a reason why Chronicle was the best player for Gambit in Champs 2021, it was literally things going back to how it was before M3.
Literally the last match Mini casted with Pansy he said how he has seen newer pros shitting their pants when they were told to face Chronicle lmao
Chronicle is the GOAT not just coz he has the most titles, or coz he flexes to almost everything to the point that he can play all 4 roles and 5 different agents in a VCT final, lr coz he is so consistent, its coz he has denied Americvck region of a trophy in 3 DIFFERNT occasions.
Always remember, Chronicle won his 3 titles by gifiting Ls to Yay, Demon1 and Aspas in a VCT final 💯💯💯
The fact that it's a debate should say enough. Nats was pretty clearly the better player in masters berlin. Champs 2021 is fair but they didnt even win. And what he did on m3c doesn't matter even a little bit. Regardless of the situation he just didn't prove himself against international comp that year.
Also his stint on fnatic is so ridiculously overrated it's actually baffling. Dude hasn't done anything goat material and was pretty low impact when fnc was winning in 2023. He was getting outshined by both alfa and leo.
If he wins a tournament as the best player on his team then he would be in the goat conversation. But right now he's just Valorant's Robert Horry.
