https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2684/vct-2026-emea-kickoff (Alfajer #4 > Chronicle #7)

Overall: Alfajer 6 : Chronicle 6
Internationals: Alfajer 2 : Chronicle 3

for Kaajak vs Chron in 2025: Chron was better than Kaajak at Toronto and EWC, but worse at Champs (Chron still did good, Kaajak was just insane).

Conclusion: Chronicle was FNATIC's best player from 2024-2025.

you cant compare team achievements between two individual players

being the best at a videogame means being the best at the videogame (aspas is better than chronicle)

bro defined Ethan😭

Chron has been on 3 of 5 team of the years. Gambit 2021, Fnatic 2023, Fnatic 2025.

Ethan has been on none cuz he only wins trophies when he's at the right place, right time. Irrelevant when not (unlike Chron)

anything you can say about ethan can be applied to chron

never ever been the best player in any of the things he’s done in his career

never been the best player on his team

always middle of the pack

not the goat. alfajer is above him in the convo

it cant be though

Ethan doesnt have as many top placements, as many good stats, as many internationals, as much relevancy

Ethan is so far behind. All of the ethan goat arguments come from recency bias.

"his teammates have performed better than him in all the trophies he has won"

so the mvp of a tournament winning team is the only player worth recognizing????

yes, correct

no one cares about him doing well and losing, but emea fans bring stats up because all chron has been doing since 2023 is losing

he is not the goat and has never been. alfajer is above him because he at least has been performing better than him

Mine was somewhat of a "baity" response. But I will say this, its all very subjective. Where you put your eggs in the basket for GOAT is not where I put mine. You put your eggs in the basket of participation trophies (bc Chron doesn't actually win many trophies). It's better than being a straight stats meister tho and saying "Aspas GOAT".
Based on how the valorant system is set up, I look at trophies, Placement, and caliber of the trophy in all of my decision making process for how good a player is considered. And it is realyly hard to deny the two champs victories, and it is almost an assuredly solidification of ethan if he pulls off this masters.
Chron is #2 prob.
