how is this a debate. u can say derke has more achievements but does anyone actually think that if u put aspas on that fnc 23 team (and obv make sure he can communicate good with his team) they accomplish less? like u actually have to be mentally ill to think that lmao

Yes they 100% do. Aspas doesn’t make space for shit. FNATIC need a fucking real duelist you retard. Aspas is just an aimer

Derke was a top 10 player every year. I’m not listening to dum fucks that started watching/using their eyes in 2024

Your list is one of the worst I've ever seen. The pro-Derke bias is insane.

Just so we have something to debate, how is Kingg ranked much lower than Derke in 2024 when he had better results and more relevant stats?

Ok, Derke had better stats internationally, which is a valid argument.

However, Kingg had much better performances regionally and achieved better results internationally, all while being a Flex/IGL. The gap between them in your ranking doesn’t make sense.

why does regionally matter lmao???? I personally dont consider regional results/trophies/anythign regional important. Only international trophies/appearances/sometimes stats (I dont like to have to bring up player stats to win an argument though)

Following your logic (which I disagree with), it would be valid for Kingg to be below Derke, but it still doesn’t make sense for him to be 13 spots lower.

I mean who are you trying to fool by saying this. We've interacted enough with each other that we both know you're biased, pretending otherwise to me is just silly, but if you're performing for others who might read this then fair enough.
Also you're right, it's not funny, it's hilarious. I apologize for understating how much enjoyment I got out of seeing it and then seeing you doubling down

I am biased when its game time. But saying that Derke has NOT been a top 10 player in every year is actually delusional asfuck.

honestly is all personal taste. both are goats and saying each one is better is fine. i personally like aspas more because i like his playstyle more and he pretty much carried a decent team to potential greatness (lev 24) while derke couldn't

TenZ https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/SEN%20TenZ%230505/overview?playlist=competitive&season=all

DEATHMATCH STATS
mwzera - 86% win rate (thats the insaniest thing ive seen in a while)
cNed - stats not availiable
TenZ - 73% win rate

RANKED STATS
mwzera - 66.3% winrate (MVP of 95% of the matches) proof here https://imgur.com/StiJmpg
cNed - 53.5% winrate (MVP of 13% of the matches)
TenZ - 60.4% winrate (MVP of 15% of the matches)

can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.

heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze
derke? not good with raze

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)****
