john is 1000% above Benjy cause he’s been better all year and Benjy hasn’t done much at all. Should be in IGL over Boston cause they have same skill if not better than Boostio (prob better) and same accomplishments. Also zekken is around 5-10x better than cNed cause 1 good tournament in 2021 isn’t better than being the best in 2024 and very good throughout 2022 and 2023.

Meteor being in mentions with benjy top 5 what kinda drugs are we on

And Woot top 5 flex ever? bro's played in one international (and lost), Victor has a trophy and has been to three finals.

Also if you consider Ethan a flex (he's basically a flash init + yoru), he gotta be higher, man is a world champ and the best kayo OAT

Sayf isn't really a flex either he just had role change Duelist -> Senti -> back to Duelist

wth.
this is an ALL TIME list. It is about performance for all time. not about peaks and since it is all time, it would be harder for newer players to get into the list until more time passes.

MrFalin all time isnt yet. (close, but not yet)
d4v41 is just in a super competitive role. I think he should go > Rb soon.
nAts peak clears benjyfishy, but this is a stupid thing to argue about.
Crashies has been a god tier initiator since 2021 and has just recently fell off.
Sacy is insane.
Zekken is good, but YAY impact in 2021-2022 still clears for now.
TenZ is newer to the smokes role. With more time, he will go higher.

Rb good in 2022 (4th best team of 2022) - DRX

so according to ur logic, kiles was one of the best sentinels, since acend won 2021 champions.
If ur ranking players, rank them by their own skill. You can be the best flex, but if the team doesn't work, it doesn't work.
And if u bring up EG, coz he was 2nd with that team, then it makes even less sense, coz he didn't even flex there. He played flash initiators and yoru (another flasher). You don't know, what flex means.

If you’re really wanna talk all time, you can’t include Karon because he’s in his rookie year and has weaker accolades than everyone on 2023 EG.

Here’s my list. Saadhak is the only one that appears twice and I placed Yay in the Sentinel role since he was only truly relevant on Chamber with Victor as the primary entry. I would have place Victor 5th in the Duelist category but he’s always been lackluster compared to his contemporaries.

Duelist: Aspas, Derke, Jingg, CNed, Zekken
Initiator: Leo, Sacy, Ethan, Crashies, Stax
Smokes: Mako, Marved, Pancada, Mindfreak, s0m
Sentinel: Less, Nats, Alfajer, Yay, Suygetsu
Flex: Chronicle, Tenz, Forsaken, D4v41, Saadhak
IGL: Saadhak, Boaster, FNS, Boostio, Ange1

As the game progresses, a number of these players will be cycled with Champions that maintain relevance going into future years. The names in Bold are definitely staying in the top 5 but the rest could fall out of favor if they disappear like 2021 Acend. Below is a list of players that I think have the potential to shift up by the end of 2025.

Duelist: Jawgemo, T3xture
Initiator: Riens
Smokes: Demon1, Karon
Sentinel: Meteor
Flex: Mazino, Wo0t
IGL: Johnqt

I might seem a bit low on GenG players but it’s very possible they have a single hot year and fall off like Optic post 2022. Mazino has a long history while Riens and Wo0t seem to have the same consistency as a Leo level player.

#93

Frags

–

Yeah, he’s the most accomplished duelist with a record beyond a single year. Also, I didn’t include any chamber merchants because most fell off.

T3xture, Jawgemo, and Ardiis are close seconds to Zekken right now and could easily replace him if they maintain a higher performance for another year. T3xture could also do it by placing higher at Champs this year.

Victor is the only caveat but he’s as much of a “system” player as Icy is.

Plus, 5 straight frand finals, 2 regional titles, 1 masters title, he AT LEAST bumps out ange1. Munchkin
