The way Valorant changes, idk if anyone can tbh
even by league metrics Faker is in his own category
The closest comparison we can make for 'GOAT status' with is probably CS
Yeah I agree with Aayan, valorant changes their meta way too often so I really don't think anyone can become the faker of val
in 5 years 0sp0s and kingkong will be working at mcdonald’s while derke is still at the top of the game
Valorant as a game itself makes it so no player can keep a high form for long periods of time. We get peaks of greatness but even someone like Aspas, who’s the most consistent, never peaked to be the definitive best in the world. It’s the constantly changing meta as well as the randomness of gunplay at times which all contribute. Like if a player like Asuna, no hate to him, can be very good the gunplay ceiling isn’t that high in Val. Strats wise valorant has much more depth.
If a Faker of Valorant to you is who gets the most titles: Probably Chronicle
If a Faker of Valorant to you is who's the the best the most consistently: Impossible to know. Meta changes too much. Demon1 came out of nowhere and had the most dominant performance we've seen of a rookie and a duelist, and completely flopped the next season. Cealing of the game is too low compared to LoL, so I think that there will never be a Faker of Valorant
To add, players change of team too much. At the end of the day, this a team game, and it doesn't matter if you have the best player in the world playing for you, you can still finish last or be mediocre
wait till you find out that faker also flopped on his 2nd year after winning worlds, the Demon1 is not a good example, big part of the reason of Faker being Faker is the good career decisions he did like being a part-owner of T1.
Most players don't get better after winning internationals like Faker
Only big big upgrade I can think of is Aspas, his Leviatán form was much better than his LOUD form
And some players just keep the same form/don't improve a lot: Chronicle, TenZ (if you ignore his 2023 season for obvious reasons), Derke, etc...
The more the years pass in LoL the higher the cealing gets. So it's actually more impressive that Faker managed to win the amount of internationals he has. Same goes to Val. Players tend to get worse after winning because they can't keep up with the meta/higher skill
Boaster is the prime example of this. 2024 has been his best year individually speaking, but he looked like crap, because everyone else got much better. If you put 2024 Boaster in 2021, he'd be a middle of the pack player, instead of bottom
Aspas sometimes is a choker so he is already out
Anyway valorant faker is still to blossom in some place (hopefully in Brazil)
Ngl does a faker level player even exist in FPS shooters? Just doesn’t seem probable for someone to dominate for so long in shooters
valorant is a new game. But I can see sentinels having t1 kinda aura in the near future. And zekken is a young talent with lots of potential.
there are no goat yet but will be from ten or fifteen years down the road ig.
people gonna hate but yay had potential with his talents but fate had something else stored for him. (c9 giving the bag then dropping/tier 2 drama/bld drama)
Leo from fnatic is also very op in the game. The rest of the guys are new or did bad/wasnt consistent so cant give goat title to them.
Safest bet for now is aspas. But still leo is better imo cause of his solo carry potential and clutch plays.
