Derke and Chron were doing crazy numbers, and Alfajer was higher than Hiro, but they only got 5th-6th

Hiro was ass
ppl keep forgetting that Chronicle is the GOAT for a reason
u do know that Chronicle has better stats all time at globals right (that too with an extra event)?

chron is still better lol (I removed that specific calculation cuz EWC is a real tournament to anyone with more than 1 brain cell)
Chronicle without EWC: 1.12787404315 -> 1.13
(1.26*306 + 1.19*356 + 1.10*307 + 1.19*210 + 0.94*270 + 1.21*293 + 1.13*419 + 1.07*453 + 1.07*260)/(3328-279-175)
Aspas without EWC: 1.12092673267 -> 1.12
(1.18*240 + 1.04*136 + 0.99*366 + 1.11*380 + 1.11*80 + 1.15*515 + 1.14*407 + 0.53*71 + 1.33*330)/(2721-196) there are no ratings for china so it's not included
but it wouldnt make much of a difference since both chron and aspas got eliminated early at the event (minimal rounds). There is a reason why I am doing weighted stats instead of just an average of all the stats. For example, the 0.53 from Aspas matters much less since he only played 71 rounds at Toronto 25 compared to like 1.33 rating with 330 rounds at Champs 25.
also let's say Chron does go under Aspas with no Shanghai and no EWC (removing both is pretty weird btw), the gap would be too small for a guy playing breach/sage versus the biggest baiter in the history of Val. Chronicle definitely clears (in both stats and placements)
Chron without top 10 all time players on his team is playing like kon4n if we are being honest
aspas has 0 trophies without god-like players carrying him btw
Chronicle was carrying on Gambit and he's been great on FNATIC (5 global finals, good performances at multiple tournaments). Now he's also making top 4 with VIT (MIBR has 0 top 4s)
aspas finals mvp but sure "carried" unlike chron with no official accolades

"coming back when EU wins 1 trophy"
clearly you can't read/have memory loss since Nbs just won a trophy for EU. Nbs is the GOAT Coach of Valorant now with a Champs + EWC (greater than Mini's Mickey//IN and Masters)
Lol you don't need this dumb excuse you can just come back if you can't stay away no one cares
he was never meant to be a starting player, at that time leo’s status on the team was unknown and fnatic were clearly banking on him coming back so they let hiro go. obviously that did not happen and they instead got crashies as a replacement
Hiro is the highest paid player in EMEA im pretty sure that buyout was not happening
i think its kinda like the patmen thing where pat was really meant to be temporary because prx already has their eyes set on invy who is overall a better initiator?
