Top 5 player peaks of all time

Comments:
Threaded Linear

Yessirskiiii

I took into consideration the level of the competition and the agent that they played. Obviously playing an ultra broken agent like Chamber and pre-nerf Jett will skew your stats heavily.

  1. NAVI Shao - Was it ever in doubt? Putting up some of the best, if not the best stats we have ever seen and doing it all on support character with amazing util. To put the cherry on top of the cake, he was by FAR the most clutch player to this date.
  2. FNC Leo - So close to Shao. Better util but not the same fragging ability. He has the best util i have ever seen and on top of that, he in my opinion, is the player with the highest gamesense of all time.
  3. FNC Alfajer - Might be controversial to put him ahead of Yay, but he's putting up better stats without super broken agents liie pre-nerf Jett and pre-nerf Chamber. Imo he is the best player itw currently. Could make a very good case for him to be 2.
  4. Optic Yay - He was undoubtedly the best player in the world, but then again so was everyone else on this list. The only thing knocking him back to 4 for me is the fact that he played on super broken agents. I know i will get hate for putting him at 4, but he didn't have to worry about util, and because of the agents he played, he could take some stupid fights and escape to safety because of Jett/Chamber. Still one of the GOATs 🙏
  5. Team Liquid nAts - Again, you can make a case for nAts to be 1,2,3 or 4. The only thing knocking him back to 5 for me is that when he was in his prime, the competition wasn't as good, as it currently is. Shaped the game, defined metas. Imo he is probably the 2nd best player of all time. His longevity is incredible, that's why on the all time i list, i'd put him above Yay, but as this is just peaks, i moved Yay to 4 ahead of him.

Honorable mentions: Chronicle (the 🐐), cNed, Derke, scoreboard checker, Suygetsu, Aspas, TenZ (comp wasn't good at his peak) and Mako

i didn't meant copenhagen yay u assumed that ,yay's peak was prolly at champions and chamber got a Nerf to by then (not hard nerfed but i remembered he got nerfed before champions) and shao could have played chamber too but he simply didn't play it (and yay was best player on most broken agent for entire year idk why you think his peak wasn't best ,there were other chambers too he was just best at it)

yeah 2021 iceland valorant esports was just overall god awful which is the only reason it happened but TenZ at that tournament has never been matched on impact

single-handedly carried the entire tournament more than any other player has and managed to just completely own derke in the grand final, which honestly they may well have lost 3-0 if he didn't pop off so hard

I truly don't understand what your point is or what you're trying to say. In 2021 when SEN dominated, it was pretty much an aim competition to a certain degree. FNC are by far the best team we have ever seen. 2021 Sentinels respectfully aren't even top 10

yeah exactly fnc are the best team of all time, so how are you discrediting something tenz did with something you call not a top 10 team all time with the same game everyone else played back then.

It wasn't an aim competition then just because you don't have eyes or lack an IQ above 90 doesn't mean teams didn't have strats then lol

Tenz and sentinels had no unfair advantage, they were just better than everyone else, same story as fnatic, and guess what in 2 years the game is gonna evolve just as much as it has since 2021 to now and you're gonna look like a moron with this argument

EU bias is insane, if Marved peak and Yay peak aren't number 1 & 2 then ur lying to urself. With the quality of player ur putting up there, Jinng should be top 5, but u only mentioned one APAC, one BR, and 2 NA and one was a joke.

The agent was available to everyone, how come nobody else made him look broken on the VCT stage?

It's just like back in CS when the awp had to get nerfed 3 times cuz of kennyS, you can't just undermine his skill just because the gun was broken.

He needs to show me something. Shao fragged out the same and even better in the knockout games while playing support agents. Valuable util + the same fragging puts Shao over Yay. It only makes sense no?
