I think Sick is really damn good but to have a list like this with no shahzam and sick instead? I feel like that has to be wrong, with the way shahzam IGL's AND has such a huge in game impact is absolutely insane and mvp type stuff.

I think when people rank players they only look at acs and K/D. Players who Igl, play smokes and support get no recognition and are always being degraded

I dont watch an insane ammount of NA but you can tell that that jcStani is extremely good even though he isn't some top frag every game player. I mentioned this in another comment but there is a big duelist bias in "top players list"

If we were to talk about top controller mains in NA, I would put zombs, Nitr0 (slumping a bit), jcStani, s0m, and vanity
floppy is good too

Honestly, top 5 NA i assume K/D/A.

But I would have done my list differently if this was the top 5 IGL's NA.

As for Shaz himself, he is very good... but I would say Corey has more of an impact on Faze than Shaz has on SEN. I think SEN fall into the problem of everyone on the team is a superstar (Superman on the JL). So I view the best on how they carry their own team. Faze NEED Corey, SEN "can" get away without Shaz. For exp: SEN would still win Iceland if Vanity played for SEN instead of Shaz. Again, Not saying Shaz isn't good (cause he is great) but the impact is not as great as other players on other teams.

That's a fair take but also where I disagree. Shahzam is clearly very good at controlling tenz, who definitely needs controlling. Without shahz, tenz runs way way too wild, and all of SEN could be fucked. I give shahz the most credit on the team imo.

I dont think Asuna should be #2 he hasn't achieved anything and people are ranking him so high... Yes, he is really good but IMO there are more consistent players who have achieved more.

100 Thieves won First Strike. Even if it's not a LAN it's still was a big tournament in the region. But I do agree with u he should be like 3 or 4 not 2.

Yea they won the First Strike tourney however that's the only thing have won (I feel like they have underachieved as a team), after that tourney they benched dicey thinking 1 duelist (asuna) would be good but they haven't succeeded

I feel overall though he still is consistent. He is usually at the top of the leaderboard. Yes, his teammates set him up so success but u have to be good in order to capitalize on it. I do think he's better then most of the duelist in the region even though his team still needs work.

Also there should be different categories for Best players because support players like cypher, killjoy smokes players don't get enough recognition

Ik it's a tier list of 6 but I honestly think everyone on the list is worth mentioning

Obviously big dueslist bias, I think some other players have really high impact for their roles that I didn't put but valorant will always have duelist bias

People who I think are really good and are not duelists are: Dapr, jcStani, subroza, s0m, and mitch

After that players like shot up, corey, babybay, victor, and others are just typical insane na duelist players and na is full of them, these top 6 are on another level than these players imo.

Really strange list. But I'm picking the best player from each of the top 5 teams NA at least in my opinion. This is too remove some of the duelist bias. And some of the sentinels bias.
