a single player that just solos everyone, someone that's significantly better than every other pro

But magnus is the goat of every meta... Freestyle, Classical, Blitz, Rapid.

the concept of chess is stil the same no matter the speed, you don't change the moves, you change the speed. in val you have to change how its played

but still in freestyle he proved to be best again... I am sure if there are other variants like it, He would still be great.

yeah I am not slandering magnus, just saying it will be really hard to have such a calibre of player in valorant

you do have metas, you can't play the best opening because everyone is prepared 100 moves deep

https://bobo-gg.net/articles/greatest-prime/

primes are like at most a split or 2 long because metas keep changing

rn lukxo and erde are on historical runs, tkzin is set to put up a generational rookie performance if LOUD continues frying too

but there's ofc an argument to be made that 1. yay was farming plumbers 2. yay was doing this on prime chamber while currently lukxo is frying on chud chamber on the biggest stage in vct history so far

still doesn't discredit yay dominance though

I don't think yay was farming plumbers cuz the game had felt somewhat developed at that point. You could say 21 sentinels was farming plumbers cuz that was the plumber era.

i dont agree with the plumber argument for the same reason but a lot of people use that esp in light of what lukxo is doing now

125 game winstreak is impossible in chess

there are a mostly draws at the GM level , Fabiano Caruana's Sinquefield Cup 2014 run had like 7/8 consecutive wins and that's most impressive winning run in recent memory

for something as volatile as esports compared to a ~550 year old strategy game it'll take years and years and decades before someone like esports magnus comes along, it needs the absolute perfect combination of genetics (talent), hard work and passion
