Lev scrimming C9 a week before their match to try to figure out how to take a round from them.
You're the one saying they're a mile away from each other when the stats don't show it. I'm not saying zekken is better; I'm showing you you're wrong. Additionally, you're removing 5 maps from a series that mattered (vs. SEN, btw) to get that rating; zekken's two worst maps were completely inconsequential after they won the first against G2.
Head-to-head does start to matter with increased sample size. Less and zekken played 7 maps against each other this year, with Loud 4-3 against SEN, and zekken's performance was still much better than Less'. OpTic got 2-0'd by Guild.
What is your actual argument for why Less is better? It's not stats.
Brother, they are the same rating with zekken sporting way higher ADR, ACS, FK/FD ratio, etc on a far higher sample size. Zekken also outperformed Less on both of their match-ups against each other. There is no way that Less is "a mile away" from zekken; they're on the same level.
edit: Forgot to mention zekken even trolled two maps (vs. G2). Without those the rating would have been something like 1.20.
Man's not even pretending to be USA
1 or 5 cNed?
Who would win?
Skrubblebubble is next up, don't disrespect him.
Writing-wise? You're missing Monster and LOGH.
For a region to have to bomb out of a tournament, all 4 (or 5) of their teams would have had to bomb out. It's statistically unlikely, and I'd argue if all 4 or 5 teams in a region were at the very bottom of an event, they deserve that ranking below the more consistent region. A single tournament is 33% of a region's ability to showcase their competitive strength. Additionally, if that "bomb out" happened in a smaller international event like Masters Tokyo (compared to Champs), their best placements would have been 1, 1, and 10 (or 9) - that's either 4 or 3.667, so average or better than the 4th place average region you think would be gauged as better.
Non-troll placements:
1st - AMERICAS: 2nd, 2nd, 1st (1.667 average). Number of teams in top 4: 1, 2, 2 (5/12 total).
2nd - EMEA: 1st, 1st, 4th (2 average). Number of teams in top 4: 2, 1, 1 (4/12 total).
3rd - PACIFIC: 3rd-4th, 3rd, 2nd (2.833 average). Number of teams in top 4: 1, 1, 1 (3/12 total).
4th - CHINA
Some of the best athletes of all time had extremely strong egos. You think Michael Jordan won't be remembered forever because he had an extreme ego? Muhammad Ali? Demon1's not "killing his personality;" he's making things better for the scene.
Rifle: Alfajer (not sure if yay could match it right now)
Op: Kangkang (probably)
i dont speak european but
sayf is my fav player
neveer heard him say a word but his playstyle and confidence is so entertaining
The best duelist of 2021 is likely Derke (with yay VERY close in #2 and TenZ/cNed #3/#4 in any order).
The best duelist of 2022 is yay by FAR, with aspas #2, and probably duelists like jinggg/Derke/Cryo vying for #3/#4/#5.
The best duelist of 2023 so far has been Derke, with a ton of duelists vying for the top 5 around him (aspas, zmjjkk, jinggg, etc.).
That being said, I'd say the top 5 duelists of all time (so far) has been this:
Yay's complete dominance over 2022 can't be understated, but he's been snubbed from being able to show himself in 2023. On the other hand, Derke has shown consistent superstar performances over 3 years. Aspas has shown similar dominance as yay, but with strange lapses in his performance that put him below the other two (imo). There are a WEALTH of great duelists right under this top 5 (ardiis, Cryo, TenZ, Scream, F0rsaken, Zmjjkk, Something, etc.) who could possibly steal a slot within the next year.
Most logically coherent vlr user.
"X is better team because they were about to win and choked."
"Here's a counterexample that you'll have to concede if you really believe in that logic."
"But they're out of the tournament now." <- Shifting the goalposts.
Stop shilling. You got caught.
Liquid sent EDG to lowers. Sayf didn't outperform kangkang and lost the h2h too.
Nah, we're rooting for Loud in lowers. They're an incredible team and though EG was the better team today, Loud can wreck in this tourney still.
You're right--he's been cursed by DSG's warlock to ensure bad aim for his duration on the team. That's the easiest explanation.

Yay is the only one with performances consistently great enough for the title over several years.
Chronicle is the most decorated and insanely versatile--but can't match yay's pedigree (yet). Deserves runner-up.
Yay was one of the best international players of 2021--#1 in rating and #2 in ACS for Masters Berlin, as well as #6 in rating and #7 in ACS for Champs 2021--and the best player of 2022. It was definitely not 6 months.
My guy, he's saying it's redundant.
1 team in each region will get franchised.
My guy, he said "except starxo"
Think it's more that objectivity is using a metric to decide what is greater or lesser when it comes to music. A Mahler symphony or a Chopin ballade is going to be "objectively" better than a rap, rock, metal, pop album using most musical standards, but when it comes to personal resonance and enjoyment it might differ among people.
tl;dr don't let "objective quality" take from the personal enjoyment you get from listening to music
This is true, but the only reason for this is the years and years of time to forge way more developed strategies and tactics. Valorant on equal time will be far more complex. There's simply a lot more that goes into the game.
Yay is more consistent and he just straight up plays better Valorant. Better decision making and less overheating. Derke's mechanics are world class and he is a huge playmaker with incredible peaks, but he also loses his team a lot of rounds because of that attitude.
Half his posts are region hate (mostly on NA) and casually agreeing that Europeans have superior genetics.
Takes a certain kind of stupid for someone to hate on yay this much.
I think XSET vs DRX would be legendary.
