I can't lie, I'd put Sacy > Ethan in the Frontrunners. His cultural impact on the game is insane.

Alfajer not even close to frontrunners.
Aspas the best mechanical player.
Ethan the best igl.
Chronicle the most winner.
Alfajer best on neon LOL.

Alfajer has two titles and a shitton of podiums being very good individually
Aspas i agree but he really needs another international or at least a final because hes getting left behind

Getting left behind as he breaks the kill record twice in 2 days 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Sick Asuna Xeppa are the same tier of talent without super teams

o s1mple é o goat do CS e só ganhou 1 único Major, esse argumento nao tem nada haver, e o troféu dele é uma Champions

Frags

s1mple tem uma caralhada de s-tier e finais, Aspas de final internacional só tem 3, precisa parar de querer fazer caridade e investir num supertime pesado pra ser campeão de novo logo

#51

Frags

mas no CS tem jogadores com mais vitórias internacionais e 4 Majors, 5 Majors, 3 Majors, mais que o ucraniano. CS tambem tem 45678 campeonatos por ano, VCT só tem 3 chances e 1 chance para o campeonato mundial

mas realmente, o aspas só se mete em arca de noé ano após ano, espero que ano que vem melhore

Frags

ele acabou de ter a melhor performance da história do Champions estatisticamente, quebrou recorde estando doente contra os atuais campeões do mundo. Quando se fala de GOAT de um jogo de time, na minha opinião, não dá pra levar em conta só resultado coletivo, eu entendo sua linha de raciocínio mas acho que a maioria discorda

Leo has always been insane since the moment he started playing in vct. Definitely deserves legend imo

being insane regionally and not translating fully to internationals doesn't really make for a GOAT discussion. "but his team was bad and he got sick" unlucky but it happens

Take out groupstage and he was the 2nd worst rated of his team

Groupstage is literally part of the event ...And obv if they went 0-2, the rating is gonna be ass. Leo plays bad and they lose twice, coincidence? He was literally best rated player in groups and its not like they played bums in group stage, they won against optic and he dropped +22 on them. Idk what to tell u

#55
sentinelmain377

Frags

well despite not having great placements in 2023/2025, he still was somewhat relevant internationally on TL.

nAts: N/A, 1st, 2nd, N/A, N/A, N/A, 17th-32nd, 5th-6th, 13th-16th, N/A, N/A, N/A, 5th-6th, 9th-10th, 9th-12th
TenZ: 1st, 5th-8th, 9th-12th, N/A, N/A, N/A, 17th-32nd, N/A, N/A, 1st, N/A, 4th, N/A, N/A, N/A

#61
foythvlr

Frags

his best placement since 21 was a 5th-6th. not his fault 100% of course but maybe he should get better teams then

#63
sentinelmain377
-2
Frags
+

ye but he is clearly still good as a player rn so that definitely puts him above TenZ all time no?

extra points:

  1. nAts > TenZ in 2021.
  2. TenZ is retired.
#66

No because placements do matter and in a longer period of time tenz has better placements than him

Put ScreaM on the bottom of that list. I know that he hasnt won anything and that "OMG KC 2023 HAHAHA", but even when he was at KC, after Newzera left just look at his stats, he went back to popping heads. He had the highest ACS in EMEA LCQ 2023 with players like cNed, suygetsu or F1tinho also competing. ScreaM was carrying TL for three years, he was the first player to get an ACS of 300 in a BO3, he also has the highest ACS ever on Phoenix (considering players who have at least 200 rounds on him). He also produced some iconic moments like his 1v3 ace clutch against Acend

nats should be atleast in legends, lots of pro players still follow is kj and cypher setups and bro taught valorant how to play viper while other playing brim and omen.

also mako this is the controller goat he brought of controller tech everytime the plays in international. he can just blindly play controller can win rounds just by util usage.

Another one is kk he is been performing well since the time he every played in international even though his team was worse

this is so recency biased there’s no way t1 rookies like skuba mada and brawk are already at greats above players like zekken stax jawgemo buzz munchkin players who have also won an international and have also had high tournament finishes (this is the nrg boy’s first international finish). they’ve only proved themselves in one tournament while other players have been proving it year in year out

You gotta consider what he brings to a team tho twin. This man lead the league in assists in 2023, was 4th in assists in champs 25, and first in champs 23. This guy is the greatest support player ever. I will always have LeChron James over Ethan Arnold, but to say that ethan isn't a goat is a major downplay to what this guy brings to a team.

there is no goat in this game yet, aspas chronicle and ethan are all lacking somewhere. the true goat will emerge with aspas level mechanics and chronicle amounts of trophies.
