Not getting too many convincing names. Think i will start the poll now.
People will hate me but derke and alfa are top 5
Forsaken, meteor and texture not top 5 but def top 15
f0rsaken is the best flex itw he should be at least top 10 (yes he is better then chron at FLEXING that's why he is a better at FLEX)
even got a viper under his belt and showed against NRG so he has completed valorant's roles and has misc agents left over
We done this whole poll thing too any times already. How about we wait until after masters london cuz things will shift then
nah you could supplement if u are a extremely consistent team making TOP 4 minimum every year consistency matters just as much as trophies
tenz winning the first ever lan then ghosting for like 4 years coming back and winning a trophy doesn't make him a goat contender he is obviously since goat convos include influence
chron for example has consistency and trophies
Heretics have to win London to be added. Woot and riens would have good chances in that case
david jinng and something need to be the rankings too not just forsaken. all of them contribute equally to their success
mako sneak. cant be in goat nominations if you havnt even won a trophy. hes been consistent but trophies matter, at the least need 1.
Also, I think that's just dumb. In many events, the top 4 have been interchangeable, and the winners aren't particularly clearing them. Not to discredit wins but to simply ignore everything else that happened because they were the better team on that day is just dumb. Obviously, barring blowouts like SEN FNC and NS
i do agree but also disagree with this.
i feel like having a singular trophy is the bare minimum to be in a goats category. it makes no sense to be called a goat of a game if you dont even have a trophy.
mako is a very consistent player and drx did make top 4 top 6 in multiple events but that doesnt change they fact they didnt win any even while being like a tournament favourite too.
mako is a choker simple as that.
Saying a singular person is a choker in a team based game is just incompetence. If you're standard is trophies then simply list how has the most trophies and podium placements in order. Simple no conversation to be had but thats boring and stupid to me... you can't say the standard is trophies and then switch up. Stand on that and just make a trophies list if thats what you want.
no im not saying who has the most trophies.
im just saying to be in consideration, you must have atleast 1 trophy. not whoever has the most trophies is the best.
look at simple for example. when did he cement himself as the goat, maybe now its different but back then only after he won the major was when legit eveyrone started saying hes the goat.
aint no one without a major getting mentioned for being the goat.
is mako one of the best smokes players itw? sure. but goat category, no.
Alfajer top 1. Riens is better than some names listed here so I think he has to be in the HM section
True but i think being the best player of a season demands inclusion. Thats why Nats, yay, Leo, Texture and Kaajak are guaranteed a spot in the vote. That kind of peak matters. Kaajak will likely not make the top 10 anyway. RieNs is close but then i have to debate old DRX players, shao suygetsu etc and the net get cast too wide. If heretics win london him and woot have good arguments to squeeze into the top 10 even
HM: Valyn, Neon (The Future Messi Of Valorant), Mako, Boaster, Jinggg/Something
Tenz - nothing extremely crazy except 2021
Yay - gone?
Leo - gone
Demon1 - just prime EG demon1 exceptional nothing after that
hear me out...valyn and trent. just for fighting their way out of tier 2 and staying consistent internationally. consistency is the hardest thing to achieve in this game. they literally did it the riot-intended way instead of being former CS pros coasting off of their name value
davai, forsaken and jing have been the most consistent core internationally. yet as a prx fan, I don't consider them the goats yet. For me Chronicle is top 1. Where is valyn and trent trophy
f0rsaken should 100% be in the goat discussion imo
jingg has to be at least an HM
d4v41's only started really heating up rn so idk
If chronicle does well in London without Boaster holding the reins then maybe he deserves that position, right now i don't feel like it
