“Mako is the best controller”

I’ve seen this guy in debates for greatest of all time and it’s confusing. What has he even done to deserve that? 1 regional trophy his best international placement is top 3.

Mako has really good Kd but his acs is terrible, he plays kd. His adr on every agent is also below 140 so he’s not even getting enough damage to kill people if it isn’t on eco

Mako is literally the only common denominator besides termi in all his placements. Admit he’s apart of the chokers.

I'm trying to educate you, Mako literally DRAGGED his team in every one of those series I linked

you sent me a 13-5 map where ofc mako didn't play well, because his team got stomped

The only time Mako has ever played poorly when DRX needed him was at Copenhagen, and you didn't even link the Copenhagen game

Mako is a common denominator to a team of chokers, he can drag his team there but he falls off when it matters. He can’t perform when his team needs him. It’s impossible for his team to always be chokers besides him.

stats aren't everything. a good smoke that wins a round with good timing/placement won't show up on stats. clutches don't really show up on stats. he's one of those players, not a tenz frag out kinda smoker

Why is he still making highlights then???? Call him whatever you want but his understanding on the smokes roles is unmatched, at least in pacific. He doesn't have the best aim, but he is a terrifying anchor and lurker. Not an "eco fragger". I swear all of you are watching with your eyes closed omfg.

He makes 1 highlight every 4 games he can’t frag and his highlights are all him last alive.

Sayf has put up shit numbers in the last half a year on vitality as igl. Stax has been igling since 2022. Valyn and johnqt are amazing players. But mako is consistently fragging out for the team. Watch the kill board when drx plays next. He is always good for one or two on lurks and is there to trade his team, or to clutch up which is exactly what the smokes players do on the team. It doesn't change the fact that mako has high impact in the server.

Sayf has not been putting up shit numbers and mako is farming ecos and exits. His damage per round and acs prove that.

this is nitpicking. just go to his all-time stats. all the controllers he used are positive rating + great kast + really high APR number. his KPR, ADR and ACS is overall not even bad too.

"but he farms against plumbers!!"

just go look every international he went to. decent to great numbers in every single on of them since 21. you can question why he havent left drx yet and how he might be a problem on team building, but his individual consistency is really great

All time stats are irrelevant because they include random farmers leagues and off season against tier 3 teams. I’m not counting all time.

Mako is great but not the goat. The issue with finding a controller goat is because there have been no consistent controllers. For example, Tenz only smoked for one year. Pancada did not play for a year. Marved has not been good since 2022. And so on so forth. My personal goat would probably still have to be Pancada, but Mako´s consistency is what puts him in the goat convo.

Nitpicking not even series but MAPS is some of the dumbest shit ive ever seen. You can do this for any player. No other controller has been at the top as long as he has. Of course his acs and adr arent high he plays his life like a controller should. Controllers should die the least out of anyone on their team trying to use this as a reason why he is "bad" is dumb asf

pANcada has 1 trophy champs 2022
Karon has 1 trophy masters 2, 2023
no one gives a shit about regionals.
Mako has been to almost every international since 2021, pANcada was not there 2023 or 2024 even if 2023 was not fully his fault due to role issues. Karon might surpass him, but he's played for 1/5 the time mako has and they've missed the same amount of international. And its not like DRX consistently boom out of those. Equating skills to trophies is stupid as shit. Bang isnt a better controller than mako because he won a regional trophy once. CNed isnt as good as aspas because he won champs 2021. There is no controller as consistent as mako in the world. That is why he is the best controller aot

#88

Why is the argument always no one gives a shit about regionals” when we talk about a player with no regionals😂 mako still has no internationals finals appearances. His two teamed left his team and won a tournament their first event without him. Maybe mako is the problem on why they can’t win.

#93

No, no one has ever cared about regionals. No one says aspas has 2 trophies, he has one champs 22. Its also 1 of the reasons people say he isnt the goat. And, yes the rest of his team wasn't shit that's why they were consitently top 6 in internationals. Its a team game, but it wasnt just buzz and stax on the team, Rb, Foxy9, and zest havent won since. And, quick math 2<3. So, no Mako isn't the only reason they haven't won again its a team game.

Foxy9 on a team that didn't make Bangkok, and Zest played on Bleed and Bleed were the worst team in pacific when he was on the team. Rb did go to China and China is good he just hasn't performed anywhere near the level that Mako has since leaving. While playing in an easier region.

#102

Zest joined the team after a couple games he wasn’t there form the start. Fox9 didn’t make Bangkok because they lost to the winners of the event buzz and stax. And rb is not on a good team he still performs well.

Rb has been in China for 2 years now performing ok at best. Zest was still on a dysfunctional team and played like shit. And, you cannot compare Kickoff T1 to Bangkok playoffs T1; 2 completely different teams. If you think they are close to the same level of gameplay you havent watched the games or are just braindead. DRX beat T1 2x in kickoff.

He is retard like name me a controller who has the longevity of mako and has been a top player on smokes like mako for so long he has been great every year in his valorant career the closest is pANcada . In terms of skill and longevity like bro put some respect on his name . Like ya in terms of raw skill I put pANcada over mako but like all time mako clears pancada was great for only two years 2022 , 2025 , 2024 didnt play all that much but overtime became their best player . 2023 not his fault sen'd roles that year gave me brain damage .
