Aspas Americas player of the year when he didn't even make a regional final, nor was he the highest player in most of the stages 😭😭😭😭😭
Ethan Americas IGL of the year after being dogwank for the whole season and turning up for 2 weeks, when valyn won the three peat and made an int grand final 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Who made this list bro
Aspas is the most overglazed player ever had his worst year ever and still won POTS this glaze needs to end.
1.26 Kickoff (BO3 kill record) (#1 in Americas) (#1 Worldwide)
1.19 Stage 1 (#4 in Americas)
1.12 Stage 2 (#7 in Americas)
Highest rated player of 2025
Ok firstly Aspas was #2 Kickoff Americas (Mada was #1) and even then tied with trent and for Stage 2 Americas he wasn't #7 he was #8
Trent:
1.26 Kickoff (EXACT SAME RATING IN AMERICAS) (KICKOFF MVP)
1.24 Stage 1 (#1 in Americas)(MVP)
1.08 Stage 1 (#12 in Americas)
If we use arthmetic mean then Trent has higher average regionally AND played more rounds than Aspas
Needless to say Trent was better at Toronto (6th and Aspas was 60/61) but he also was 3rd highest rated in Bangkok
Aspas literally only has stage 2 where he got grouped and champs over trent.
The best player in Americas was Trent not Aspas.
aspas chose his teammates alongside frod bro, i don't think that's an excuse
he didnt
He was supposed to go to BLEED, MIBR was his last option, cortezia xenom were tier 2 recommendations from Sacy and Frod, and Frod begged aspas to keep artzin on the team
Nzr was the only IGL available at the time because he was sitting at FURIA's bench
The roster was made with what was left after BLEED got kicked out of VCT late into the offseason
Oh, my mistake then. My bad, i swear i heard people saying that he helped building the roster
No problem, in a way he did built it, but the information always comes without the important context to it, its normal
peak performance always gets taken into account over consistency
hence why brawk was initiator of the year when he was ass in the beginning. he peaked in champs
yeah dimmed trent deserved the best in the americas award, but that doesnt erase the fact that aspas also had an insane regional performance and you were implying he didnt.
you used the classic strawman fallacy here
Sorry but how is me saying Aspas had a worse year than the single best player regionally, equivalent to saying Aspas didn't have a good year? I could make this comparison of trent to literally any other player they'd all fall short of him you since he's the BEST Americas player this year. Howw is this a strawman's argument I accurately stated Aspas' ranking in terms and compared them to trent's. It's not like I left anything out?
But since there's been a misunderstanding somehwhere, I will clarify I do not think Aspas had a bad year it's just that Trent's year was better which is why I think he got robbed off player of the year. I won't deny that Aspas clears trent if we are talking of all time but I feel like people are too caught up with that and some recency bias so they aren't giving trent proper credit
But the people who voted Aspas as the best player in Americas were the Americas players themselves, the pros who played against both Aspas and Trent all year. Trent didnt even get top 3 in points
yeah shit is crazy, i don't even fuck with the g2 boys but how is Trent not like undisputed Initiator of the year for americas
sato as third most improved, bro he only played stage 2 and was crazy throughout that stage

the literal Worst rated player at toronto btw
aspas you will never be the goat
The awards get so much funnier when you realize they are bar for bar just copies of the Champs stats rankings. It’s why valyn and leaf won controller and senti over s0m and skuba but brawk won initiator over trent
dont want to hear shit from a fucking g2 flair. U HAVE NEVER WON A GAME IN KNOCKOUTS CHAMPS HOW TF DO U DO THAT LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the best players from champs reflect the best players from the region. simple as that. A concept a 100tities fan can't understand
As I see it, Americas Awards shouldn't have in mind Champs, it's literally called "Americas" Awards. So many NRG players sweeping the list doesn't make any sense when they were dogshit the entire year and couldn't even win an Americas trophy
Let's be real the awards in every region were dog shit i am saying this and my team almost swept apac's awards
fake awards show btw, only thing good and factual about it is that BOTNICLE has zero awards (cause he doesnt deserve any)
Valyn should’ve had igl of the year. But when did Ethan start igling for Nrg?
so right at stage 2 Ethan started igling and immediately got 2nd in Americas and won champs. I still think Valyn should’ve won overall in Americas, but Ethan is not that bad of a winner
I won't deny Ethan's calling improved from stage 2 to champs finals but there was a joke for a while that he couldn't call on attack for shit, like NRG were defense crutches but tbh I think even ignoring that Valyn should've been clear just based on the fact he only got outperformed by Ethan at champs even more so by the fact Ethan as an IGL didn't even exist till the end of the year
Im just confused of how 3 rookies earned most improved player? Do we understand what the award means?
