He had a 0.97 kd in champs the second lowest on his team and ranked top 40 in the whole event and he diffed everyone? Brother he had the second worst stats on his team right after boo, and at emea stage 2 he had .93kd and Madrid was his only good event with 1.17kd and he didn’t even make playoffs

keiko > wo0t

suygetsu should be top 3 smokes

btw click should be above flor, impressive performances by flor playing with plumbers but I doubt that flor can keep those numbers for a season at apeks, click also looks better on the eye test imo

Lewn is definitely not 4th place. He still has a lot more to prove. Push him down to 7th imo. I would put Sayf above Alfa, but its fine either way. Saadhak is above Boo imo. But honestly the fact that he plays flex harbor should make him no1. Keiko definitely above Woot. Individually, woot leaves him in the dust, but as a pure controller, keiko outsmokes everyone. Nats is above minny.

lewn has looked very good from what i’ve seen thus far, and i don’t think he is worse than flor click purp0

a lot of alfa’s performances are what have kept fnatic from being eliminated, i have to put him above sayf for now because the latter has been overshadowed by derke and kicks, sometimes trexx

i am willing to put saadhak above boo

for keiko, see #31

i would also use the same arguments against keiko for nats; need to see him do this against better teams

#47

I agree with the Sayf and Nats, im just Sayf pilled right now.
Lewn should be 7 however. He is definitely good and the rookie with the most potential, but we can only comment on whether he lived up to it after kickoffs or stage 1. Flor has proven herself, not only in game changers, but also by being the only one to go positive kd in losses. click and purpo are arguable, but lewn is below flor.
Here is my argument for keiko. Woot is definitely a top tier player and fits in the controller role well. But as a pure smoker, we haven't really seen much crazy shit from him as we regularly see from keiko. Can he dethrone Keiko in due time? Absolutely. But for now, he still doesn't look as good as Keiko or even Boo when he plays controller.

#48

i’m willing to put flor above lewn but i try to take into account their performances as well as their opposition; flor has performed very well but they were against teams that weren’t as strong as the ones lewn has faced

lewn has been a little shaky but imo he passed the eye test even in his loss against heretics, i think both him and flor are interchangeable but because he has faced better opposition i give the edge to him. he is better than both click and purp0 so his floor is 5th for now

i have this same argument for keiko; he is obviously top 2 in the region and if he beats bbl tomorrow then i am willing to put him at 1, but i can’t put him at #1 solely off of him farming the bottom two teams in the region. if he does well tomorrow i will change it

can’t realistically put anyone above kaajak aside from derke
lewn has looked very good, arguably the best player on bbl outside of sociablee
click has not been better than anyone above him except maybe flor, but she has been a little more consistent than him

i’ll put suygetsu above profek

Bro, don’t take it personally, but you just don’t watch the region. Putting Marteen at 11 is not okay—he has to do everything with Yoru, like entry, OP, support with flashes, and lurk, because KC only wants to play Yoru. GX’s second win was a fluke.

Then there’s Miniboo—how is he below Kajaak? He gets zero utility and still has to entry. Of course, that doesn’t show up on the scoreboard, no matter how well he plays Valorant. Meanwhile, Kajaak gets all of his team’s utility and free kills, but then FNC can’t play post-plant because they have no utility.

Put some respect on Atakaptan and Yetujey.

#89

this list is based solely on their performance this event, and marteen has not performed good AT ALL, even if he’s been forced on yoru duty. you say he’s been forced to do everything and well you can admit that he hasn’t been able to keep up with that which is why he performed less than optimally and is subsequently where he is now

kaajak above miniboo should be a no-brainer for anyone that has eyes i’m sorry, the fact you want me to put him below miniboo tells me you might have a bias

i’m willing to put atakaptan higher because of his performance against fnatic

yetujey is fine where he is

#90

I don’t think Marteen has been performing badly. Against VIT, he had a 50/50/16 K/D,he was second on KC, and had a 10/11 FK/FD. He was only -3 against Derke, who is the greatest duelist in EMEA and a top 2 player in the world or top 1.

Against NAVI, he went 41/42 (you could argue his deaths were a little high), but he still had the second-most kills on KC. And versus GX, he was the single reason the game was so close—he dropped 53 kills, the most on KC. They lost that fluke match only because Tomaszy and Purp0 had a generational game, and even then, Marteen was still +4 against Purp0.

So if Miniboo is so bad, where is Kajaak and FNC now? All I see is TH playing in the upper final. It’s clear you don’t understand the concept of space. Miniboo’s job is to go in, make space, and let Reins, Woot, and Benjy get into good positions to secure kills without wasting utility like FNC does. Of course, in Tier 1, it’s hard to get kills, but he still delivers—just look at his 42 kills vs G8, the most in the lobby.

i’m willing to put marteen above koalanoob solely because i agree with your statement regarding his ability to take space (koala has been lackluster in that regard), but that is ALL he has been able to do this split. most other duelists have had much better success in entry kills than he has; it’s now always about doing your job, it’s about doing your job WELL and doing more than just what is necessary giving your team a better chance to win. everyone above him has done so, including players like purp0 and click

and yeah, you have a very clear bias for miniboo if your only argument is “yeah well th is still in the tournament and fnc is eliminated 🤣” i never even said miniboo was bad, i think kaajak is simply very good and has superior stats across all agents, including yoru and raze. i’m not going to shoot it all over my screen just because miniboo can jett dash into a site just to get traded, sorry

edit: meant to say kaajak has superior stats on raze instead of jett, he hasn’t played jett in kickoff yet

sorry my bad that i havent seen kajaak play jett in tier 1. I think kajaak is a baiter he plays for kills like aspas and in my opinion this kind of duellist is less valuable when entry players like jawgemo or zekken and may be miniboo isnt as good as zekken but his impact on the game is much bigger when kajaaks but just not in kills. Also did everyone forget that miniboo had the best yoru in vct 2024 kickoff dont underrate it (he had 1.68 r2.0) idk why th stopped playing it.
and for marteen one step at the time making the world a better place form 11 to 10 hopefully at champs he will be top 6-5 duellist in emea depends on how good Lewn will be
