6. Alfajer

7. TenZ

the greatest korean player of all time, brought korea their first 2 trophies over the last year - 2nd madrid, 1st shanghai, 1st bangkok

10. jawgemo

boaster will prove himself this year hopefully but as of now he is the only factor that "stopped" prime fnc from completing the perfect run and he was a real weak player in all aspects except his igl'ing so not top oat player worthy maybe honorable mention along kk tho

Over how many years? How many LAN appearances has fnatic made. Normally that would support your case but I think we can all admit that his teammates carried him to most of those LAN appearances. The performances at LAN fall on the igls and coaches because at the highest level, it's about strats and mind games instead of pure fragging power.

Always does good in regular season as well...

objectively speaking they have better chance without boaster then if they were to go lock in with out chron,derke,leo,alfa boaster is a important piece ofc and on team his value skye rockets but as player he isn't top ten his igl'ing gets him up there for sure and after this year he makes top 20 cause his mechs are getting better but as of now he isnt\
he 100% deserves HM tho

individual skill had alot of impact on the decisions i made. take tenz and meteor for example, both have won 2 masters but meteor was slightly overshadowed by t3xture and karon in 2024 which is why I ranked tenz higher.

he's been to every event since like 2021 lol

he was also the best player in apac for like 3 years, and has been the igl of a top 3 apac team for two years

jawg has been to three events, and he wasnt the best player on his team in two of those tournaments

mako has been the best player, or the igl at every event for drx

If jawgemo gets a pass for being on bad teams, then tenz should be ur goat haha, never had a superteam won two events and has the best individual event ever

mako deserves this list. Most consistent controller that hasn't fallen off like other "goat" controllers (pancake and m0rved) for 4 years in a row. Sure he hasnt won anything but he's consistently if not better than most of these people in this list.

lmfao mako are you trolling? a year before jawg won a masters tourney, Mako was in challengers. jawg has not only been doing this shit at a higher competitive level, he's also been better mechanically and always will be. jawg will be top 5 on this list in a years time so him at #10 isn't all that bad.

yay has better placements and has been more consistent overall, he’s had a slump but I think it’s recency bias to kick him out.

Prime yay was literally one of the scariest things to run into.

I’d place yay low however near 10, he needs to prove himself once more after his slump to reach top 5 again.

Jaw is good, but he wasn’t THE major star player of EG 23 and still isn’t a clear domination demon like yay was.
I think Jaw will climb here in the future the way things look at the moment, but his only good year was 2023 as of now (at least placement wise). Otherwise, he hasn’t been a demonic menace that people are scared to play against.

Also I think Mako should be a HM.

The list is best players of all time, not teams.

Mako is literally like Charles Barkley in the sense that he’s an undisputed great player who’s extremely consistent and even dominant but wasn’t able to win a chip. This unfortunately has tainted their legacy.

Ring culture infects every competitive scene, even Valorant…
We gotta stop it, teams win, not one player.

I was thinking Yay and Demon1 needs to be added, but I get it now.
Overall throughout, Jawgemo has been more consistent so he deserves to be up there.
Mako would make more sense over Meteor, except Mako never won a trophy sadly so Meteor clears.
Alfajer(Masters) I think can be replaced with Demon1(Champions 2023 GOAT) though.
Less and Derke are also now currently replaceable in 2025 if VIT doesn't pull up according to standards. Maybe by Mako Nats or Yay. We'll see.
