In CS2 Donk is the undisputed #1 player. In fact there are numerous Youtube videos of people dissecting every move Donk makes just to see how he's so dominant. For a game as "simple" as CS2, it's quite remarkable that Donk is head and shoulders above the rest of the competition in terms of mechanics.
In Val there have also been dominant players, such as Yay, Demon1, Aspas, KangKang, and Primmie, but I don't think there's been one pro who's been the undisputed #1 player. To me, it seems like the #1 player will be whoever did the best on KovaaKs that day, or ate the best meal that day. Basically I feel like any Val pro could be feeling hot and become the best player that day. That's what makes Val "exciting" because of the randomness, but that begs the question, will there ever be an undisputed GOAT like Donk in Val?
