I’m curious, what would you guys list as your top 5 most valuable players right now. It’s important to consider not just mechanics but what they would bring to the team.

valyn nAts f0rsaken probably top 3 for being mechanically insane and IGLing at the same time
Unironically zekken should be here somewhere if we dont make the list 5 igls, hes the only reason sen is competitive + looks like he is heavily contributing to raising mental/pushing the team forward from the clips that we're able to see
Not in order:
Zekken
naTS
alecks (not a player but idc i make the rules fr)
alfajer
chronicle
1nshh [#6]
- nats
- forsaken
- valyn
- chronicle
- keiko
+1. MaKo and ruxic at 6 and 7 imo

No duelist player should ever be on this list. Mine is:
F0rsaken
nAts
Valyn
Chronicle
Keiko
IGLs self-explanatory, high fragging ability with a great calling. F0rsaken highest because he's the most flexible, nAts above valyn because flair but idm if you put valyn first.
Chronicle below those 3 only because he's not an IGL, but he's probably the 2nd most flexible player in tier 1 (after f0rsaken)
Keiko is 100% bias because of my flair but idk there isn't really anybody else deserving of being put next to the other 4.
When we consider value a player brings their mechanics are pretty much secondary to their flexibility/calling (if IGL). Not to say mechanics don't matter but having extremely flexible players like chron/f0rsaken makes team-building so much easier and allows teammates to play comfort agents. For IGLing, idk if its just valorant but IGLs have tendency of underperforming so having a player who can perform whilst IGLing will probably give the team the edge on mechanics.
Nats
Valyn
Forsaken
Something
Meteor
Nats and Valyn being value as fragging IGL's outside of being good callers AND good individual leaders among their teams. When you look at G2 & TL, you can tell they run through the lenses of their respective IGL's.
Forskaen has innate value in versatility that you can't really match.
I'm a meteor fanboy, but the value he is able to get individually is insane. I think he (at his peak) wins his teams more rounds than any other player. He does the right stuff at the right times more often than anyone else imo (again, very subjective, but he was basically the entire reason Gen.G was able to play such an agressive recleae style since Meteor gets such high individual value).
Something is here since, yes, he has a lot of assistance from how Paper Rex plays, but he's also the best Yoru & Oper in VCT. If you were just one of those things, it could get you on a highest value list. The fact that he's not just elite, but arguably the peak of both speaks to the value he gets Paper Rex. Outside of Forsaken's versatility, I'd say that Something's absolue map presence is what lets Paper Rex play like Paper Rex.

As if reaching playoffs is not good enough if he isn't a valuable player then by that logic neither is nats since he didn't even clear group stages and not to mention geng has a trophy thanks to his igling where valyn and nats don't
Uribaba [#22]Then don't disrespect the goat because of one split💔🥀
i think geng coaching staff bring more in munchkin cause he was running it down on T1 also so solo and hsk are more valuable

bro when did you started to watch VCT nAts dont have trophy are you blind
nats, forsaken, davai, patmen, ruxic
sorry for glazing prx, but they complete so much in each of their roles
fr0ster0p [#30]bro when did you started to watch VCT nAts dont have trophy are you blind
Maybe you are the blind one I said as an igl
Uribaba [#32]Maybe you are the blind one I said as an igl
i dont think they won cause munchkin igling only main reason they won was geng coaching staff bring more in munchkin cause he was running it down on T1 also so solo and hsk are more valuable for that trophy win and also lakia and metore with mid round
and you only said they don't not mantion about being as igl no trophy
justachillmf [#18]did bro not watch pacific stage 2 playoffs ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Pacific has been that competitive this season. To put it in perspective, GenG finished the same place in stage 2 as EG from Americas. Imagine if GenG was in Americas they would arguably be top 3. (Atleast for this season)
Having said that. I respect munchkin he brings a lot to the team but he is not in the same league as nAts f0rsaken Valyn. These (2) guys IGL’d and MVP’d stage 2 finals.

It's not only the coaching staff munchkin's calls were insane too atleast that's what sliggy and FNS seemed to think whenever I turned up their watchparties and I'm pretty sure those 2 are very knowledgeable about the game and knows what they are talking about
The main comment is about them being mechanically insane while being great igls so if I'm replying to that it should automatically mean i meant nats didn't win trophy as an igl

Last year munchkin was the mvp of regionals too(probably 2nd split) just because he is having a bad season because of constant roster changes I don't think he doesn't deserve to be mentioned

you can see this year when player like lakia and meteore were not their it affect munchkin calling so you can't just say that they won trophy cause of most of munchkin's calling cause this year they did not win anything they only come close to winning pacific stage 1 that's it so other player were big behind that sucess run with big impact
Lordsalih [#31]nats, forsaken, davai, patmen, ruxic

this factual putting aside my bias d4v4i can flex and is a insane anchor and 2nd awper patmen can flex both intiator roles viper and kj also has high play time on raze so if he was on a non prx team he could be a insane 2nd entry whilst being nuts on clutches and good on lurks
and f0rsaken has the single highest value as player flexing to quite literally every role in the game including AC IGL

Top 2 in Pacific then top 5 in toronto ain't bad
Uribaba [#41]Top 2 in Pacific then top 5 in toronto ain't bad
missing out on champs and top 5 is not bad but how they lost that match is bad it show player diffrance how impact meteore and lakia had in team on big match like pacific final and master like tournament
