imo boo is the best controller
I prefer keyboard and mouse, but if you want a serious answer probably the 8bitdo controller. For it’s price it’s a great deal.
have you watched any other region but EMEA? If not may I direct your attention to the following players
Mako
Karon
Sscary
Mindfreak
Xeffro
Monyet
Marved
Pancada
Bang
Zander
Skuba
Kingg
Valyn
S0M
Smoggy
+more that i cant think of right now
They are both senti players. Playing Viper on like 2 maps doesn’t mean your a controller.
Tbf chichoo plays omen a fair bit so I get that but flashback here makes no sense
Chichoo playing it was just EDG refusing to be a normal team and forcing their flex duelist onto smokes and theri Senti onto flex so they could have a mid initiator.
still makes him a controller player and btw chichoo has a pretty big controller agent pool. certainly bigger than someone like tenz. in fact in the last 90 days chichoo has played more controller than senti. and in the last 60 it has been 50/50.
"Playing sentinel on two maps doesnt make you sentinel player" or something like that
mako is a household name ofc
smoggy, valyn, and karon have been great this year
mako, no one even comes close. Ever since the games came out he's been performing like a beast and still did this year even when he had to igl
Mindfreak is a big contender tho and i feel like he's quite underestimated
I don't think mindfreak has ever been better than mako or karon so not even the best in apac
karon is literally a rookie so it's impossible to compare, and imo he's up there w mako. Tbh I don't really care wether he's the best in the region or not, all I know is that he's the perfect controller for prx
Mindfreak is a big contender tho and i feel like he's quite underestimated
Mako's overall game sense is just better than mindfreak's. Aim wise, mindfreak can without a doubt compete with Mako but in terms of util and overall understanding and awareness of the game, Mako is just better
Mindfreak also never IGL'd so it's not a perfect comparison, but he's always been THAT player who can win maps on his own bc he's disciplined and has no less talent than the rest of the team. When everyone is off, he is the only one to step up and bring prx back in th gamer
Mako is best controller of al time and it’s not even close. Best controller of last year is Karon
Yeah, if Mako had played in EU or americas he would have won multiple trophies.
mako
karon
s0m
smoggy
Viper specialists : Suygetsu,Benjyfishy
edit forgot nAts viper
cuz he didnt make an international. is he good? yes, is he comparable to other top controllers? no as we just havent seen that comparisons
how is saying someone like smoggy crazy but someone like karon and pancada is normal? Especially pancada???
pancada in his role is pretty much better than smoggy bro, karon is rookie and best player of geng
no he isnt bro he has had a single good year and performed excellently at a single tier 1 event
similar to smoggy, And another thing, it's not the fault of a single player (who was changed roles) of an entire team not doing well in the year or qualifying for internationals. Pancada on his back has been playing great games at LOUD.

karon isn’t their best player, t3xture and meteor are though he isn’t far behind
Best controller of all time? Mako ofcourse. Definitely Mako, the greatest controller of the world.
2022 pancada, 2022 mako, 2022 mindfreak and 2022 marved was the peak of controllers
