Not even top 30: Jawgemo, Meteor
Plenty of players do space creation and don’t die as often. Not saying he sucks but 2023 EG was ass before demon1 so he clearly wasn’t the reason they got better and G2 was already placing high internationally before he joined. Jawgemo is fs a top duelist in Americas but I wouldn’t call him a top 10 player just from placements alone.
Actually, the legit top 3 oat is:
1- Leo
2- Aspas
3- Chronicle

in summary: fair calculations are made for all players, those who haven't played enough games are discarded, and their lifetime rating is considered, not K/D or ADR, but rather a combination of all those stats.

According to the video, this is the top 20 of the best valorant players in history. The top 3 is revealed during the video; you should watch it because it's interesting and provides all the data used to evaluate the list.
Actually, to be the best player in the world, we must evaluate two things:
The average rating is the overall impact the player has game after game. It evaluates things like the number of times they've been traded, the number of times they've traded someone, the number of times they've died away from the team (which subtracts points), clutches, important kills, etc.
And the coefficient of variation refers to the player's consistency. The lower the coefficient, the more consistent they are, therefore, they are a solid and stable player.
and yeah, if marteen is in the top 12, there should be something
I value winning, innovation, x-factor and consistency.
the greatest players of all time are the ones who have bested the competition the most times, the players that have pushed the game forward the most, the players who have stepped up the most when their team needed them and the players who do it for a longer period of time.
with that being said
of course bro that's what i mean with the R 2.0 and CV
"the players that have pushed the game forward the most, the players who have stepped up the most when their team needed them and the players who do it for a longer period of time."
that's exactly what those statistics are based on.
even so, this debate will always remain subjective because not everyone values the same things. bowever, this video has evaluated the most important aspects of valorant and what a good player requires. the video is completely objective. For example, if you like aspas more and move him up, that's valid, but that's it.
Keznit eats marteen for breakfast and Less literally won EMEA Kickoff this year and made top 4 internationally, the guy who made the video tries to analyze consistency but fails to give context to the numbers.
GUILD Leo inflated stats were used and both GUILD and Leo didnt even qualify to Champions and were not even top 10 in the world in 2022. But his numbers still counts for the "consistency" even when he didnt lead his team to actual success
