TOP 5 GREATEST DUELISTS OF ALL TIME

#1

Spirals

aspas
in terms of what he's achieved regionally and internationally and his own performances that contributed to those great placements he's gotta be nr 1
derke
long list of great placings and tournament wins, does his job, has had his fair share of amazing tournament preformances, one of the most consistent players throughout the entire history of valorant
yay
the best preforming "duelist"/chamber for an entire year and great preformances back in 2021 as well, best player of pre franchise
demon1
in my mind unarguably current best player in the world, champions mvp.
cned
very good at peak form, won champs, kinda mid this year but still was good on jett

who didnt make the list and why
tenz - one tournament wonder
keznit - hasnt achieved enough high placings
something - too early to put him here, not enough lans

anyone i forgot or anyone who has a case to be here?

i was thinking about that too, like yay good on 2021 and 2022, derke just good on 2023, i know he was good before too but i mean yay made history on the past years and brought happy to the na comunity, derke was doing good on emea vct but fnatic always choke on international events in the past

he was good before, just not good enough to lead his team to a trophy, he was the 3rd best player in the team in every trophy he won

whats your point, good numbers dont mean shit heat was on yays level in that tournament too nobody calls him the goat, it was 2021.

Derke has been top 5 duelist since masters 2 iceland and has ALWAYS been a real duelist, yay is a second duelist.

Yay isn't even a contender is my point, completely different roles/players

Yay doesn't belong in duelist convos because comparing yay to jinggg is nonsense, even yay to aspas or sayf is nonsense

yea i thought of that while making the list but i just couldn't do it when i thought about the fact that yay didnt play this year and derke won 2 titles
some recency bias is a factor in this list too considering that the game is evolving rapidly i feel that each tournament is harder than the next

yay had a bad year but lets be honest hes one of the best duelist of na if not the best, demon1 and yay clears tenz so freaking hard, tenz has been on a bad phase since after 2021 iceland, he plays so well but if this actual sen lineup dont work, he will never win anything on sentinels, not even t2 or off season tournaments, like his bad phase its not about himself, but his team

i wanted to put keznit here but his team hasn't been good enough, if this was solely based on individual performance keznit would 100% be here since he has been good for 3 years straight and can play practically every duelist unlike many others

demon1 at 4th while aspas at 1st.... walk me through it
better ESR on astra than aspas on raze btw

also derke at 2nd 2 slots above demon1... lets see what happens when they go head to head
https://www.vlr.gg/220448/fnatic-vs-evil-geniuses-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-gf/?game=all&tab=performance (still won the head to head matchup despite getting 3-0d!)
https://www.vlr.gg/220447/fnatic-vs-evil-geniuses-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-ubf/?game=all&tab=performance -5 in demon1's favour btw

nostalgia bias goes CRAZY to put yay above him in the chamber crutch meta 💀💀💀 be serious

legit said demon1 was best player itw rn but brodie this is an all time list and that means i considered longevity and achievements heavily
derke clears everyone here in team achievements with aspas and yay being 2nd and 3rd in that regard...
also demon1 has no longevity to factor in unlike literally everyone else on this list... for all we know he could end up just like tenz did after iceland
i like demon1 lots but he needs more time to go up in this list

Me personally I would have derke number 1.
Greatest longevity for a duelist to date.
One of the best space takers in the game.

I understand why others would have aspas number 1, he is phenomenal.

Also tenz isn't a one tournament wonder, he had very good performances multiple international events in 2021.

I don't understand why yay is in there. Because chamber is not a duelist. He is an okay jett but not that great. Not great enough to be top 5 of all time. I personally will take jingg and put him as #5. Because he is have been a good duelist for a long time and a consistent one too, also always show up on big stage.

bringing in a chamber player here is a skeptical one. he isa very good chamber player not duelist and also he isnt aggressive at all with his duelist role

he still top 5 as he was also a good jett before chamber meta and the only time he hasnt been amazing was this year when he played in tier 2 but yes this is a duelist thread to be fair and chamber is not a duelist but we also cant ignore 2021

well, then it can be clearly said that his chamber is more impactful than his duelist role and more fitting for chamber rather than on duelist. that's why he did better in 2022 than in 2021.

I would love to put Jinggg on that, cuz his last years stats were crazy. Literally close to Prime yay and aspas. also he is really consistent as well.
but then again the list is also really good.

I would defo put jinggg in the place or Cned or yay.

Actually nevermind I would put Jinggg instead of yay for sure. yay prime was very short. Most of it could be credited to broken agent at the time chamber which wasnt even Duelist.
So yay being on this doesn't make sense. Jinggg does. except major trophy he checks all boxes. Not 1 trick and hell of a consistency.

yay and demon1 played jett and should not be considered a "duelist" player, victor and jawg were the duelists for the most part and demon1/yay would just play jett so u cant really put them up there
