Consistency vs Peak

Is it better for a pro to be more consistent or having a high peak?

When I say high peak, I mean the kind of peaks Alfa or Aspas can have (I would say Demon1 but no way falling off that hard is ever worth it long-term)
And for consistency it'd be the consistency Riens or Chronicle have

I used to think consistency > peak but recently I am starting to think the opposite, since being consistent is good and all but you NEED the really high peaks if you want to win a trophy. Like I think part of the reason G2 haven't won a trophy is because they lack a player with that just insanely high peak. When it comes to building a legacy having ocassionally high peaks is always going to trump consistency since people really only remember the best teams in a year. I mean even with the case of Demon1, who fell off massively there are still so many fans that are downbad for him, granted this isn't to say I think Demon1 is anywhere near top 10 or even top 20 oat. What do you think?

(I know people are gonna say but Aspas/Alfa are consistent, yes they are consistently good but the difference between their peak, lobby admin, and their average performance, star player, is still very staggering)

d4v4i kept his consistency and won a trophy for example

consistency and it's not even close.
Also Aspas is literally the most consistent player oat using him as an example of peak is lowkey disrespectful

2024 had some special circumstances (new to igl, shaky team, etc)
and even then id still say he was the best on that team

Consistency just wins imo.
If you're consistent, you'll eventually depending on the meta and what you get the best at, get your moment where you'll do better than others.
