That's rough buddy. I thought you were crazy but you talked yourself out of cookin

I didn't watch any of his tier 2 Vitality days. Just that he got dropped by acend in 2022 and watched a pretty bad team in 2023.

42 players have won a valorant international major.

1-34 are players that either are still in VCT or have had multiple highly impact full years. It was really hard to seperate great players so on a weighted scale I judged

1. Championships (#x)
2. Tournament MVPs (#mvp)
3. Finals appearances (#f)
4. How well I roughly remembered them performing on their team
5. Sustained success (multiple deep runs)
6. Bias

The list

1. Chronicle (only 3x champ, 4 time finalist)
2. Leo (2x, best player imo, 1 mvp)
3. Alfajer (2 x, 1 mvp)
4. Derke (2x, 3 time finalist)
5. Tenz (2x, 1 mvp)
6. Sacy (2x, 3f)
7. Boaster (2x, 3 F)
8. Yay (1x, 3F, 1 mvp)
   9 . Demon(1x, 2f, 1 mvp)
9. Aspas (1x, 3f)
10. Less (1x, 3f
11. Saadhak (1x, 3f)
12. Pancada (1x, 2f, 1 mvp)
13. Nats (1x, 2f, 1 mvp)
14. zekken (1x, 1 mvp)
15. Suygetsu (1x, 1 mvp)
16. Marved (1x, iceman, 3f)
17. FNS (1x, 3f)
18. crashes (1x, 3f)
19. Viktor (1x, 3 f)
20. Ethan (1x 2f)
21. Cned (1x)
22. Boostio(1x 2f)
23. Jawgemo (1x2f)
24. c0m (1x 2f)
25. JohnQT (1x)
26. Redgar (1x, 2f)
27. Sheydos (1x,2f)
28. shao (1x)
29. zyppan (1x)
30. Ange1 (1x)
31. Zellsis (1x)
32. Ardiis (EU plant)
33. starxo (1x)

Beyond this point these players did not make a franchising team or performed very poorly in the first season and were not pick up for 2024. (FNS and Pancada are also not on a team but have longer and more successful careers)

deffo (1x champ, 2x finalist, 2x CIS champ, 1x EMEA champ )
sick (1x champ, 0 lost maps in a major, 5x regional champ, the most flexible player at the time, hope he is getting the help he needs)
Bonecold (1x champ, 1 time regional champ, first ever champions winning igl)
dapr (1x champ, 0 lost maps in a major, 5x regional champ, carried by Tenz, one of the best early cyphers but got outclassed fast)
shahzam (1x champ, 0 lost maps in a major, 5x regional champ, carried by Tenz, igl jett?)
zombs (1x champ, 0 lost maps in a major, 5x regional champ, carried by Tenz)
zeek (cNed and friends, 1x champ, 0 regional titles, team cancer, does have a mvp but reputation tarnished by team heretics stint)
Kiles (1 time champ and 1 time region winner, but consistently worst or 2nd worst player while not being the igl)

Disclaimer: I don't really like the Navi/FPX Core and I don't know why.

Also how did cned not win mvp at Champs 2021. “Find cned and run” was a viable strat.

I picked the third season because there are only 3 completed seasons of international play, but fair.

Something is good but I don't see how he could be above Zekken. Has played 2 majors but his team was top 3 with a streamer CGRS geeko 1 trick and 2nd and 3rd with him.

You should have a raze to be considered a duelist anyways, otherwise you are just a Jett op user.

3 things:
1) Valorant is still really young for a competitive game. There have only been 3 completed international seasons. Look at HLTV top 20 for the equivalent seasons for CS:GO. Some legends of the game for sure, but the s1mple wasn't on the list and superstars like zywOo weren't even close to playing tier 1. The true Valorant GOAT likely hasn't played in VCT yet.

2) The game has massively evolved since the beginning of Valorant. If you watch Reykjavik back none of those teams win a map in today's Valorant. The strat books are so much deeper they would get stomped and the utility and coordination are insanely higher.

3) Karon is a freak.

Gen. G looked unstoppable but couldn't finish it out. As a NA fan I'm happy but I can't wait to watch more Gen. G/PRX. APAC has some of the most entertaining teams in Valo.

He is agreeing with you that double elim is better, but the saying the only way you can say Madrid was fraudulent was if you think FNC or Navi would have won which is debatable. Kickoff was flawed but SEN beat the top seed from every region except China. Wild to call them frauds/fluke.

They qualified on points... most of which they got with their old roster. The new g2 gozen roster has been bad without Mary or Juilano. Not that they would win, because I don't think they would, but a mid-low tier GC team doesn't show the overall strength of GC teams.

But that's just not true.

Massive Brazil fan not defending scum W. I hope LOUD dominants Champs for you

Classic trembo defending felons L

Pancc has some allegations from his csgo days.

Also it's possible ntk won't get a visa for America's league if they win the spot cause of a domestic violence conviction.

At least he realizes fnatic is good enough to be a lock in the finals. I'm not a fan but they are crazy good. Leo is actually the goat

Saying valorant is about luck is a bronze take

He posted a picture of the Crazy Racoons training facility on Twitter. He's in Japan

Uh oh...
