meteor is not a top5 player and potentially not a top10 player of all time. he has not set a precedent for how an agent or role should be played, his two trophies are close to each other showing that he has not had long-term success, he has only been in the top tier since early 2023, and he did not play well for one of the trophies he "earned."
compare this to an easy top5 player such as Yay who carried his team to a trophy, set the record on how to play strong agents such as Chamber and also made multiple finals.

Yay is the Leo of NA, an insane talent who revolutionized the game and players look up to. People love to hate on him because he got contractually screwed by C9 which would've mentally boomed any player, but it's clear he has had the highest skill ceiling of all time on top of being a trophy holder and showing insane form bringing his team to multiple finals.

Somehow this has developed into a serious discussion so here's my take: Meteor is appreciated a lot for his ability to shoot well, which is somewhat indicated by the ADR stat.
Sure, I can agree that right now, he's not playing the same as he was when they won't Shanghai, but, it's a different team and I feel the individual performance level is not THAT different. (This can be confirmed by checking his ADR stats for this year which I'm sure would be pretty good).
He also HAS set a precedent for playing sentinels aggressively, by taking aggressive timings and buying more space for the team on lurks.
if meteor carried in bangkok starxo carried in champs 2021
yeah don't think you'd agree to that one, because it's not true.
the narrative that meteor carried in bangkok is created around a false sense of "clutch factor" that existed for 1/5 maps he played in the finals (he was horrible 3/5 just keep that in mind) and was down to luck more than anything.
yeah he did great on lotus

'Carried his team to two trophies'. Funniest joke ever told by you lol.
He for sure was geng best player in Shanghai but texture was equally good too. And munchkin calling was supreme.
As for Bangkok izu was easily t1 best player. Before finals he wasn't even their 2nd best player. And if you are talking about finals only stax was as impactful as meteor.
