valyn way too low tbh. literally dominating americas with g2, being a great fragger and an amazing caller, in my eyes best in the world or at least top 3 since they ascended which is a really long fucking time. i would personally put him either side of ANGE1

5-6 Champs + 7-8 Copenhagen + 17-32 LOCK//IN + NA relevancy 2021-2022

is better than 5-6 Bangkok + 9-10 Toronto + 9-12 Champs + 9-10 Santiago + EMEA Relevancy 2025-early 2026 (TL was dogwater in 2024)

btw by "1 more tournament," I meant nAts needs to qualify to another tournament (not win it)

I forgot XSET was good for 2 tourneys but to count a first round exit in Lock In is kinda crazy imo, I get your point tho

8? just to be below the same guys who won in the easiest era of Valorant and P00, you have lost your mind and are simply blinded by the past

he goes to 5 minimum (above Ange1, prob above Stax) if he wins an international. I've already done all the other 4 rankings by making it so that having a trophy puts you over all other igls without a trophy and im too lazy to change allat.
