I dislike how hard you try to pass of ur lists as objective. I’ve literally seen you cite your own lists in posts like peer reviewed journals or some shit. (Btw victor has literally never been better than leaf ever except maybe in 2020)

Maybe in 2022, afterwards he wasn't top 2 initiator. Also thats unfair to judge of tenz because he switched roles midway through his career. And you could argue that duelist tenz is a top 2 peak.

When the peak is more than a year, it's gotta be in, and also....loud fan disrespecting the man that was single handedly causing them trouble.

optic fans who think yay was this 1v5 guy and didnt have the best igl, best initiator, and best smokes in the world are retarded

the truth is yay was the best player but only on the most broken agent in existence and his entire team played to inflate his stats, if you dont believe that yay was a princess go watch optic fracture, those mfs literally sat next to him with utility and did nothing themselves

if he swapped places with tenz same shit would happen
