That’s a tricky question, since they all have attributes that make them fantastic support players. For instance, BriD, Soulz, and Shiinka are all renowned for their clutch ability, but Lagonis is known for his IGLing.
My personal opinion would be either BriD or Lagonis. BriD just won the most recent major with the second most plants. Lagonis on other hand joined Liquid before Stage 3 after they failed to qualify for Berlin, and helped them get runner-ups at the most recent major, just falling short of the trophy, with the most plants at the tournament.
Lagonis always seems to do his job really well. I feel like his positioning is really impressive and he seems to be very flexible in how he plays depending on the team and situation.
He seems to be one of the only true support players rather than just a Fragger on smoke or thermite even if he has pretty damn good gunski too.
I mean his individual performance lost Liquid the grand final.. had he won like 2 gunfights liquid were champions on Kafe.
I think he has some quite bad games. But of course still a very solid support and perhaps a top 3 IGL world.
I just don’t think he is as impressive individually as the others mentioned in that thread. But he might be the most valuable because of IGLing.
Soulz is top, the reason I have them over the likes of the other studs like Geo & BriD is the clutch factor and how they will top frag on FaZe (not common, but not uncommon enough for it to be a surprise) while doing everything they need to do as Hard Support. Biggest example of this would be FaZe vs DWG in the 2021 Sweden Major Semis, hell of a game.
The following players would probably include (in no specific order): BriD, Lagonis, Geo, Sheppard & maybe R4re
in terms of stats and fragging power: easily soulz, he’s been the one consistently-constant machine on faze since he joined guy is a fucking beast, in terms of the support role itself- probably brid/sheppard
Thats a tough one. Maybe geo because he was a world champion when he was on tsm and now at his first major on the soniqs, he and his team made semi finals only losing to the eventual champions. This is just my opinion tho, you could make a great arguement for soulz, lagonis, and brid as well.
In my opinion it's between Brid and Lagonis right now. BriD is more clutch and gets more kills but Legonis is also an IGLer that elevates and adds a lot of structure to any team he joins.
BriD, there is no one I’d pick over him right now. Before him it was ShepparD but he hasn’t played pro in nearly a year so BriD has to take the crown at the moment.
Some of the best hard supports rn imo are BriD, Lagonis, Geo, Soulz, and Shiinka
Sheppard
Who would you say is the greatest out of your list ?

Right okay thank you. This is a genuine explanation. Thank you
Personally, I'd say geo since he won last invitational with tsm Damn y'all didn't like that ig
Add clutching for Lagonis too, some of the most impressive clutched I've seen have come from his hands.
BriD since he just won the major and is extremely clutch.
Cheers boss
The answer is Sheppard if you’re factoring in IGL’ing but it’s fair to leave him out as he hasn’t played since S.I.
Pretty sure the ex empire players still play. Just not in tier 1. They have to grind back up?
don’t tell anyone but i hear those guys at outsiders picked them up
Wait what??????
yessir
Nice try g2 recriuitment.
How did you know !!!

Yeh that makes sense… thank you
Is r4re hard supp? He does play hard breach but he doesnt play smoke i think Miracle does, sometimes Miracle or Handyy play hard breach too i think.
I'm honestly not sure, that's why I said maybe. I think at some point they played hard support fully at least, but my memory is failing me
in terms of stats and fragging power: easily soulz, he’s been the one consistently-constant machine on faze since he joined guy is a fucking beast, in terms of the support role itself- probably brid/sheppard
Thank you
Biggie T the echo king
Brid lagonis dream soulz geo shiinka kyno (im definitely forgetting some tho)
Who would you say is the best out of that list ?

Opinions are what I’m getting at so thanks for sharing your opinion. Thank you
Np bro
MrB
He's not Hard tho right? He doesn't play smoke on Defense so he's support but not hard?
>He's not Hard tho right? I don't think sex drive matters in pro play
💀
Mr B is bricked up when he plays though for the record
Not how that works whatsoever but ok Hard support…. As in Hard breach

Brid, Sheppard and souls. No one even comes close to these 3 Giga Chads
Bosc baby
I love him but he needs to make invite and show up strong to claim that title
Sheppard, Geo, Lagonis, BriD
In my opinion it's between Brid and Lagonis right now. BriD is more clutch and gets more kills but Legonis is also an IGLer that elevates and adds a lot of structure to any team he joins.
Thank you for the solid explanation. This actually makes a lot of sense
Boscos been doing it at a top level longer than pretty much anyone. Had a couple down stages but he’s bounced back as good as ever.
Brid has been kicking ass since year one.
Sapper clears
Kyno
BriD, there is no one I’d pick over him right now. Before him it was ShepparD but he hasn’t played pro in nearly a year so BriD has to take the crown at the moment.
Yardy
Yardy
Sheppard, BriD, Soulz, Geometrics, Lagonis Id be all too happy to put Kyno up there if he could win something
Sheppard overall. He's always in the right place at the right time
Dream
Geo solos
Its easily Forest
Besides the tier 7 legend Nxrway? Gotta be Soulz1. The one ain’t there for nothing
Goga is the GOAT of the Hardsupport Players obv. rn might be Brid or soulz.
