To be considered one of the best players of the year you need to place top 4 in at least 2 internationals
2021: Nats, Chronicle
2022: Yay
2023: Alfa, Aspas, Demon1 (If you wanna include Jinggg you can, sure Leo as well while we are at it)
2024: This is the exception but to fit the narrative id go T3xture, Zekken
2025: Kaajak, Forsaken
i guess but why arent u including players who have done that multiple times
2024 is Aspas, thats why hes the exception.
I don't think any of these players besides him have been the best player itw twice
no but u have the place top 4 argument twice which isn't aspas in 2024, its actually chron in 2023, and chron alfa, 2025.
Chronicle was NOT the best player in 2023 NOR 2025
Alfa had a mediocre champs but a great toronto
thats gonna change this year with Demon1
cant believe id see the day where he comes back, but he did
hes gonna place top 4 in Champs as long as he gets picked up no doubt, idk about masters london tho (def not playing in Santiago)
people always call the player with the flashiest plays and numbers the best instead of the ones with the highest impact
I might be tripping but didn't Yay have the highest ACS or something during that whole year? I think it was during a Masters, only falling short to Tenz's Iceland record
oh fr? how many champs has he won since then since age directly correlates to champs won
flexing mickey mouse masters, getting diffed by d4v41 and ardiis, and statpadding vs "xset" "boom" and "team líquid" (npc orgs) LMFAOOOOOO
i already did, he got hard diffed by Less in a chamber mirror in the most important game of his life
there's a better argument for boostio being top 4 in Tokyo than demon1
demon1's Tokyo is so overrated
2024 you could make a strong argument for the heretics players, especially riens or woot
debatably not even the best player on his team and his team only placed in the top 4 at champs
alright im one of the biggest chichoo fans ever but you gotta be on something to say kk wasnt the best player on his team in 2024
ehh it depends on what you value from your team, Kang Kang carried grand finals but Chichoo had incredible impact to get them there
i agree with everything except 2024 and 2021
in 2021 it was nats chronicle and Tenz (ik sen fell off after iceland but he was just too insane in iceland to not be counted as one of the best players in the world that year)
and in 2024 it was zekken tenz and aspas and if you want a fourth then include t3xture
