This game has too few official tournaments total in it's lifetime to Name a Greatest Player of All Time yet.

A GOAT Is the result of a PERFECT career.
It took s1mple 8 years, 14 major trophies, 8 MVPs in one year, 21 MVPs TOTAL, three #1 player of the year finishes, and the highest statistical peak in franchise history to become the goat. and it STILL took him winning Stockholm in 2021 to cement it.

Overwatch is still arguing over 3 players (profit, Viol2t, and LIP, ), and it has been around for double the length of VALORANT.
(Ryujehong is the undesputed goat of the PRE-OWL Era, but I listed the OWL goats since I think he's Inactive atm?)

Chron has 3 international trophies, 3 regional trophies, and 1 MVP award after 6 years of competition (6 trophies total, 1 MVP at masters berlin)

Ethan has 2 international trophies, 0 Regional trophies, and 0 MVP awards after 5 years of competition (2 trophies total, 0 MVPs) ((he technically has one from CS, it doesn't count here but I just remembered that in research and I found it cool)

Aspas has 1 international trophy, 2 regional trophies, and 2 mvp awards after 5 years (3 trophies total, 2 MVPs total those being Champs 2022 and Americas 2023)

Meteor has 2 international trophies, 2 regional trophies, and 2 MVP awards after 5 years of competition (4 trophies total, 2 MVPs at both of his International wins.)

Until someone can consistently dominate Like S1mple and show they are consistently the best in their role like profit, Viol2t, and LIP. There is no GOAT of Valorant

The players above are amazing in their own rights, but no single player can be the absolute best yet.

yeah def, goat convos are not ready in this game. the fact it could switch between 5-10 people depending on how a single year goes says enough

imo rn every event someone is being dominant but next event either they dont make it or they are just nice, but the game having few official tournaments it is a young game compared to CS2 OW LOL

Bonecold was SO FUCKING CLOSE to the GOAT igl

IF he just left acend sooner that man would've done so much, He had the Best meta read out of anyone. Every meta comp from his era was either HIS or inspired by something HE MADE. If only he had players better than acend or 2023 VIT.

Well LoL has had even less events than per year valorant has has had for most of its existence and yet there is a clear goat in that game so its not really about the amount of events.
