(Top 5 in no order)
nukkye, ScreaM, cNed, Sheydos, Derke

Keloqz is just slightly below those 5. I think he's much closer to Shao than the top 5.

I don't think CIS players would want to leave CIS to create an EU superteam. I also feel like cNed would rather join his fellow Turks and go to SMB if he leaves Acend (which I don't see happening) rather than joining an EU superteam. Shao and ANGE1 are from CIS but play on EU but I won't count them as well.

This leaves EU with a possible superteam of:
ScreaM
Derke
starxo
mixwell
Boaster

It's not the most fraggy lineup but I guess it's well-rounded I think.

Is your question like "Is TenZ as successful and dominant in Valorant as s1mple in CSGO"? If it is, then I don't think so just because the game has only been out for a little over a year. S1mple has been dominant and at the top for like 5 years now. If Sentinels and TenZ stay the best for maybe 3 or more years then maybe the answer to this question wouldn't be so clear-cut. Give TenZ some time. The scariest part about him is he's already the best player in the world but is still young and can improve.

The Valorant scene would be different in three years though especially with more T1 pros switching over to Valorant, especially the NA ones (EliGE, NAF, Twistzz). Those three can make a big impact in the NA scene and might challenge TenZ and Asuna at the top of NA.

KennyS is not in his prime anymore. I don't think he can do the same against radiants or in pro play. 5 years ago? Maybe. Today? Maybe not.

oh lol thanks for pointing that out

NA and EU

Other regions

Yup, I posted the NA and EU ones on reddit. I'll post the other polls on there in a few mins.

I posted the NA and EU survey here a few days back and it got 51k and 11k votes respectively so now I'll be posting the polls for the other regions.

KR: http://allourideas.org/KRValorantPros

JP: http://allourideas.org/JPValorantPros

SEA: http://allourideas.org/SEAValorantPros

BR: http://allourideas.org/BRValorantPros

LATAM: http://allourideas.org/LATAMValorantPros

So basically, the site will present you 2 players from their respective region. All you have to do is choose the "better" player between the two. There is no criteria on what "better" means so it's up to your opinion on which criteria you would use to pick out the better player.

The players listed are the players who have reached the Challengers Playoffs for their respective region to filter out the lesser known pros. Please just vote on the region you have a firm grasp of, to prevent any random results. If you don't know any of the players (which can certainly happen), you can click on "I can't decide" to skip. You can keep answering as much pairs as you want but you can also stop at any time.

If you missed the NA and EMEA polls, here are the links.

Thank you for reading my post and participating!

Valorant games take too long for a bracket reset especially if it's a Bo5. It usually only happens in fighting games.

Stewie2k to T1
Elige to TSM
NBK to Liquid
KennyS to G2

The latest CSGO LAN tournament which was IEM Cologne had a one million dollar prize pool and wasn't even a major so no, Valorant tournaments don't have a bigger prize pool. Pros will stick to where there is money and as of now CSGO still has more money. This is certainly the case for EU and CIS but I'm not sure for NA. I think everyone in NA just got bored of CS.

Hello! I've seen this done for the NBA and it created a pretty solid player ranking so I decided to try it for Valorant.

EMEA Valorant Pros: http://allourideas.org/EMEAValorantPros

So basically, the site will present you 2 players from their respective region. All you have to do is choose the "better" player between the two. There is no criteria on what "better" means so it's up to your opinion on which criteria you would use to pick out the better player.

For the NA survey, players who reached Top 16 in Stage 3 Challengers 1 and Challengers 2 are included. For the EMEA survey, players who reached Top 16 in Stage 3 EU Challengers 1 and EU Challengers 2 PLUS the TR and CIS teams who reached the EMEA Playoffs (GMB, NAVI, FRZ, SMB, OXG, FF) are included.

If you don't know any of the players (which can certainly happen), you can click on "I can't decide" to skip. You can keep answering as much pairs as you want but you can also stop at any time. If this gains traction, I might do the same for KR, JP, BR, SEA, and LATAM as well. At the end of it all, I might get the top players for each region and put them all in one survey.
Thank you for reading my post and participating!

in all seriousness, mine would probably be:
cNed
ScreaM
mixwell
Leo
Boaster

Edit: Right, cNed is Turkish. First off the top of my head would be Derke then instead of him.

As a Liquid fan, I'm sad that they're gone and won't play til October. As a Valorant fan, I've always felt like Liquid wasn't a top tier team. They're a better team than what they were in Iceland, thanks to Soulcas' improvement, but I feel like they still don't operate as a cohesive unit which is evident when they're attacking. They rely on individual skill too much rather than actual strategies. Acend, Gambit, and SMB feel better than Liquid right now so I'm still happy that they'll be the ones representing EMEA.

1. Sentinels
2. Acend
3. Gambit
4. 100T
5. Envy
6. SMB
7. G2
8. VS

Jamppi has until October to master Sova. He's the IGL now so he HAS to learn Sova. If Valorant gets released in China, the current FPX roster will for sure be disbanded. That leaves Liquid a possibility to sign Shao who is a better Jett than Jamppi.

I love Kryptix but he's obviously the one who's going to be cut if Liquid does decide to shake up the roster.

Hot sarcastic takes:
KennyS, NBK, or even fucking xyp9x signs with Liquid.
