Top 20 Players of 2021: BuZz (19)

The Korean Jett claims the #19 spot as a result of both strong domestic and international performances.

Yu "BuZz" Byung-Chul had a volatile 2021, playing under many separate organizations before landing on Korea's top team: Vision Strikers.

BuZz began the VCT circuit on BearClaw Gaming, however the team was released from the organization, leading the squad to play as free agents under the banner MUYAHO. Despite the turmoil, MUYAHO was able to claim a semifinal appearance and finish Masters 1 Korea in 3rd-4th place. The entry fragger reached a 1.23 rating, second highest in the tournament.

As a result of this performance, MUYAHO was signed by Rio Company. With a spot to Masters Reykjavik on the line, BuZz and Rio Company finished the Korea Stage 2 Challengers Playoffs in 3rd-4th place once again, preventing them from playing on the LAN stage. It was arguably this performance, however, that put BuZz on the map, as he dominated the tournament with a 1.43 rating, leading all other players by a sizable margin.

This consistent domestic performance brought BuZz to be signed by Vision Strikers, who had began to slump at the wrong time, missing out on Reykjavik. Vision Strikers instantly began to bounce back following the addition of BuZz, however, as they qualified to Masters Berlin without dropping a series in the entire Stage 3 circuit, returning to their winning ways. BuZz was a key contributor to this qualification with a rating of 1.15 during the Korea Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. With Vision Strikers at their first ever LAN, BuZz led the Koreans to win Group A with a 1.15 rating, but their Berlin run ended early following a loss to Gambit in the playoffs.

BuZz finished his year in disappointing fashion, however, as Vision Strikers was eliminated early in Valorant CHAMPIONS. While BuZz dominated against FULL SENSE in the opening match, he struggled against FNATIC and Cloud9, with the team bowing out at 9th-12th place.

Why was BuZz the 19th best player of 2021?
While BuZz consistently performed throughout the year, his lack of international success with Vision Strikers proved detrimental to his ranking. The Jett was consistently outshined by teammates Rb and MaKo on the LAN stage, as the fragger struggled to bring the team past 5th-8th place. Furthermore, his high ratings domestically, while impressive, came against weaker opponents than his European and American counterparts.

understandable man, I'm just messing around (not really xd)

I've been watching out Leo back since he joined Bonk at the start of the team (yacine, bonkar, sayf and co.) and he's been absolutely killing it non-stop since then.

2022 will be the year we'll see him smashing it at the global state.

But once again, impressive stuff and a nice read man

The North American Sentinel player for Cloud9 Mitchell "mitch" Semago takes the #1 spot as the best player in the world.

Mitchell "mitch" Semago has cemented himself as one of the best non jett oppers.

mitch has been with cloud9 since the start of the roster, and has seen every roster change C9 has had. He is by far the most versatile player in the game and can't be out taken. He took 1st place in LCQ after a swift run through top teams including; 100T, GenG, V1, Rise and others. After falling short for the qualifiers for berlin, Cloud9 made Jurassic roster changes bringing in Highly praised VALORANT In Game Leader, Anthony "vanity" Malaspina.

Mitchs time on jett was short lived but when he was playing jett; he had the highest first blood percentage out of anyone in North America.
