Why is alfajer neglected in the goat debate?

I almost never see him mentioned, sometimes as low as 5th place

Is he not a good mix between the achievements of chronicle and the skill of Aspas?

Has won trophies

Has put up great numbers internationally countless times

Has had memorable highlight moments

Has played multiple roles

Passes the eye test

Has shown up in big games

The only things he hasn't done is win champs, and perform on multiple teams

Even if you don't think he's better than Aspas, surely he should go above chronicle?

if u dont, he shouldnt be on the list

Goats IGL should be ones that consistently performed and not fall off the map after they won 1 event

Are we really going to talk about pre franchise? Then might as well put Yay in there if you wanted to do that

Bro use common sense. Most list has 10 players if you put all 3 IGL in that leaves only 7 slots for players of all time like Aspas Forsaken and alfajer

"Let me ignore the argument against what I just said in the previous post and say something else"

also i said those 3 should be in the top 20, not top 10. and also this list is a GOAT list valuing igls

you are free to make GOAT lists that do not value igls

Valyn is a better igl than boaster. Your list is purely EMEA nostalgia for the “glory days” and it’s insanely biased

why???

Boaster has literally had more success than him throughout Valorant and beaten Valyn in every official they faced off:

Because he can call and shoot. Boaster can call, sure, but he’s a walking ult orb 9 out of 10 matches

gng u are comparing something different from me

u are comparing fragging ability of the igl and not the calling ability of the igl
ur definition of igl for the goat list is different than mine. that doesnt invalidate my goat list lmao

I’m comparing as two complete players. You’re comparing using only one part of them

Even in his worst year he put up 1.09 rating at champs, and 220 acs at Shanghai (rating not available cause CN)

Pretty good for a bad year

Position in the goat debate is a non existent difference that's made up of peoples biases tbh

Because in order to push the "Chronicle GOAT" narrative you have to pretend his teammates were bums. Can't pretend he's the greatest if you acknowledge his teammate is a better player than him

He’s from the worst region in Valorant. Being in EMEA auto disqualifies you from being the goat

Cuz everyone agrees he's top 10 but no one thinks he's #1 so no one talks about him at all.

Because Fnatic fans preferred to dick ride b0tnicle instead of Alfajer

Before Chronicle, they used to call Leo the GOAT of Valorant. Leo retired, they started to call Derke the GOAT of Valorant. Chronicle is invisible in the server, always in prime positions for statpad, so he looks more consistent, even tho Derke played a more risky role

Derke left them, so they started pushing Chronicle GOAT of Valorant

Now it should be Alfajer''s turn to fuel pointless GOAT debates against Aspas

That's why Fnatic fans have been glazing Chronicle Leo and Derke for years, clowns like Sideshow are very effective on the clueless Valorant fans

in order

  1. Kaajak
  2. Crashies
  3. Alfajer
  4. Boaster
  5. Veqaj

if chronicle was still in fnatic, alfajer would be 4th just above boaster

FNC players always lower for me. Barring chronicle. Leo Derke and Alfa youd only ever put in goat/top 5 debates because of that time period where they all played on the same team. And yeah fair enough more trophies more success but again it’s all based on that team. And that year.

btw Chron is actually better than Aspas no debate. But vlr wont understand this so I have to put him lower on my lists to keep them agreeable.

Chronicle:

Aspas:

ya.. vlr can be and is very stupid typically

i'm not gonna say aspas is a bad player but i think a lot of his glazing comes from bandwagoners tbh, they see someone call him the goat and show one clipdump and are like "oh okay ur point is valid then" and never get out of that mindset
