For some reason, I thought this was going to be a rage bait list, but like this is actually pretty solid LOL

Id say currently Keiko>Mako, and f0rsaken should be somewhere on here, but otherwise pretty good

Karon hasn't been allat recently but he should be high on the list, s0m is pure copium (like it tho) and Dos9 is too low imo. Also F0rsakeN should be somewhere despite not being a perma controller, he is way too good at it not to be mentionned

If I were to consider him a controller he would likely be 1 or 2, he will be on my flex list. And s0m is just so insane bro he’s probably the smartest controller player there is

Yeah, S0m doesn't have the results to back it, cause NRG was a disaster for stage 1, but if you followed the game in 2023 or watched their recent games, you'd know S0m is insane. Also, while Karon hasn't been hitting in the most recent games, he's still the best Smokes player. His lowlights are other players' highlights.

i know how good s0m is but I don't know what are your criterias to rank everyone, if you're only making an all time list of players currently playing then ig it's pretty fair. I was just saying that he hasn't done much since the offseason (not that he has been bad or anything)

Mako being 3rd is a little unsettling also s0m 2nd seems valid but he needs to prove it more at the big stage

I’m rocking with this list, but I feel like Suygetsu hasn’t really missed a step after leaving Navi, I’d still put him around 10th, but if he’s an honorable mention it’s fine I guess

Yeah he barely missed out on my list. Honestly looking at it again he’s probably a bit better than Valyn

forsaken isn't a controller player vro, he just flexes to it sometimes

its 50% of his playtime last 90 days. He is prx primary controller player

only bc jinggg is running raze on every map he gets to play it this much
and no other controller player is playing fade or sova this much either
it is a huge stretch to call him a controller player if you only play controller in half your games

His primary role on the team is smokes. Keiko and s0m are on the list despite one of them playing a good amount of duelist and the other playing 42% senti. Until PRX makes roster changes, he is a Smokes player, and he should be on the list

Because keiko's not the main duelist on his team ands only runs secondary duelist when needed, and s0m has a way longer history of being NRG's controller player and only recently has started flexing to senti. Forsaken has more games off smokes than than on the role even in the past 90 days.

In general most of PRX does not fit a set role identity and it would be wrong to classify most of these players as just a single role. Davai is nearly always the sentinel, but every other player plays at least 2 different roles in significant amounts. However, given forsaken's extremely long history as a flex player it is only right to call him a flex rather than a controller main.

"Because keiko's not the main duelist on his team ands only runs secondary duelist when needed"

Because F0rsaken's not the main initiator on his team and only runs it when needed.

When it's needed, is the majority of the time. If Nats woke up tomorrow and decided to become the team's fade/sova player, he is now a scan player regardless of the fact that he's the goat sentinel. F0rsaken is the goat flex and is a flexible player, but currently he is primarily a controller player and should be ranked when ranking CURRENT controller players.

Your nats example doesn't work because he is literally better on sentinel and is defined by that role.

Forsaken is good on every single role he plays. He is not defined by the smoke role, he is defined by his ability to always be good across a wide variety of agents. That's why he is a goated flex player.

Right now chronicle is running mostly sentinels, yet nobody is calling him a top sentinel player. Because he isn't defined by his performance on sentinel characters, he is defined by his consistent flex capability in the same way forsaken is.

Skill level on the Agent doesn't matter? It just comes down to play time, and yeah if you want to get technical chronicle is a controller or sentinel player with Viper being his most played character by far, tho id more so lump viper in with the sentinels since the only map he doesn't play viper is icebox - coincidentally the only map where shes played as a traditional controller. Making him a senti player with his 4 most picked agents in the last 90 being Viper, Sage, Cypher, and Vyse.

and Chronicle vs F0rsaken isn't even an accurate comparison rn cause in the last 60 days, where 99% of PRX success has been f0rsaken has only played 4 characters to Chronicle's 7.

I feel that boaster deserves to be up here simply because of the success that he has purported, same with f0rsaken as he is hitting his peak on smokes, but this is genuinely one of the better lists from vlr

s0m has only ever make 3 internationals in his career (2023), putting him top 5 is bias af.
I'm assuming this list is current, if it was all time mindfreak/sScary easily above s0m.

Best thing s0m ever did in valorant was being a domestic Americas smoker. Can't even make internationals pre partnership ( 0 achievement). Where was s0m in 2024? ALL of s0m achievement was in 2023 only (single year/1 season wonder) and he's top 2? How many trophy does he have? Not enough contribution.
