The Goat for standing out for just one year?

2025.1: "The goat"
The Goat for standing out for just one year?
i was just thinking about their teams ngl. but he is getting carried by Derke rn anyway
less is at least 5 times better than derke and he's not even playing in his own language
the fact that a player has 5 years worth of international lan appearances screams how good he is.
he was eighteen at the time and had four bots on his team against the greatest kru team of all time and his performance wasn't even bad internationally that year lol
anyone with matches in any t2 games can have checkmark. not only top t1 player
who the fuck are you and why do you have such a hate boner for aspas
2021: already top 3 duelist
2022: his personal peak year
2023: fnc would NOT have won shit without him
2024: idk i didnt watch this year
2025: highest rated in bangkok, proving his longevity
the goat for actually being a top tier entry for 5 years
Brazilians not liking Derke Goat narrative
I would say only Derke and Mako are in running of the title Goat imo
Even though Mako did not win a trophy
These two are probably the only consistent players from 2021
So far Derke has been the only person to attend every single international i believe
Also Boaster MaKo and keznit with all champs appearances as well
Derke attended/qualified for every event except Berlin 2021 and 2024 Madrid. 11/13 events have Derke
Hating on players who actually playing good is absurd, even derke and aspas are friend π

So true, thats why everyone was cheering when they removed him from fnatic right?
i think he has a lot of longevity and has trophies. plus good stats to back it up. overall i wouldn't go as far to call him the goat but i don't think it's unreasonable for him to be in the conversation.
