Bro you are a PRX fan , like tell me how can you even talk shit about FNS when your team won literally no thing in their entire career? XD
and it is funny saying just 1 master as if masters isn't a thing , it is AN INTERNATIONAL TROPHY. Something your team will keep dreaming of and will never have. Oh btw, they aren't qualifying for this one too , because T1 are gonna destroy them as usual.

I am a 100T fan but I think Stax should be above boostio. Both have an international title but Stax has been consistently making lans since they started basically

July 2023??? tf r u on about 2023 NRG were NOT top 5 team in the world I could name 5 better teams:

LOCKIN top 5 teams: FNC,LOUD,NAVI&DRX, NRG (100T, LEV, TLN were not better)
Tokyo Top 4 teams: FNC, EG, PRX, NRG

NRG werent a top 5 team of 2023 (yes), but they were top 5 til july (august = billibilli)

NRG was 5-8th at LOCK//IN, 4th at Tokyo, finished 2nd in their region (3rd if you only look at regular season), and had they not lost 0-4 to Bilibili Gaming they would've had a good showing at Champions. I'd say they're top 6 that year, but you could argue they're above both DRX and TL

2023:

FNATIC - EMEA
EVIL GENIUSES - AMER
PAPER REX - PAC
LOUD - AMER
DRX - PAC
NRG - AMER
EDWARD GAMING - CN
NATUS VINCERE - EMEA
FUT - EMEA
TEAM LIQUID or GIANTS - EMEA x2

6-8 are interchangeable

his actual igling wasn't good at all tho, probably because no one really knew how to play.

I hope you are ranking these teams by actual igling skill and not just by their skill in comparison with others at the same time

Valyn: 4 int appearances (7th-8th, 3rd, 7th-8th, 2nd), 0 Trophies, time in tier 1 (2022, 2024-2025)
Boo: 4 int apperances (17th-32nd, 7th-8th, 2nd, 2nd), 0 Trophies, time in tier 1 (2022-2025)
Johnqt: 3 int apperances (1st, 4th, 7th-8th), 1 Trophy, time in tier 1 (2022, 2024-2025)

all 3 are really close, Johnqt diffs due to trophy, Boo diffs due to the tournaments the positions were obtained at (2nd in Champs > 2nd in Masters)

Ange1:

Ange1 contribution to early Valorant understanding + IGLing (2020). He made a whole youtube channel that taught IGLs and stuff.
Top 4 First Strike EU 2020 (best region at the time)
Top 4 Masters 1 EU 2021 (best region at the time)
Top 1 (realistic) during Reykjavik 2022 (objectively + stated by OPTIC themselves multiple times. OPTIC won Reykjavik 2022 btw) (but couldnt attend due to war)
Top 1 at Copenhagen 2022
Top 4 Champs 22
Top 4 LOCK//IN
attended Tokyo 2023, realistic top 6-7 team at Champs 23
did decent in EMEA Kickoff 2024 and EMEA stage 1 2024 (unluckily lost in single-elims to Heretics)
finally fell off after stage 2 emea
Other: Ange1's team is in the top 5 teams to have the most top 4s (FNC, LOUD, NV/OPTC/NRG, PRX, FPX(EU)/NAVI)

meanwhile Munchkin:

attended a few international events with CR (japan was a free ass region back then) and didnt get close to any high placements (I think they only ever won 1 game against t3 Brazilian team)
Finals of Madrid
Trophy in Shanghai
9th-12th champs 24
In 2025, didnt attend Bangkok, currently looking like a top 1-4 team at Toronto (but hasnt gotten that placement yet)

top 20 is too long of a list for a game where there's only 5-7 really credible igls.
