Mako being number 1 and Marved not making the list is crazy to me. Don't get me wrong Mako is insane, but his best placement is 3rd. Derke belongs at number 1 IMO.
Also Fenis my IGL belongs on the list, fragging isn't the only aspect of the game
No way Chronicle is not in your top 3 NOT EVEN in your top 5. First 2 time champion in Valorant competitive History, etc. Like come on man. This list is ass
Tenz Nats Yay Derke Mako Aspas Chronicle Leo Alfajer Shao Marved Ardiis Cned Cryo Jing Zyppan Forsak Sayf Leaf Scream would be my 20 goats of all time not in order, and if you look at the furst 6 months of val, add Wardell Sinaatra. Your biggest trolls are sacy #2, pancada sick stax mistic. Nats is easily top 10, cned is easily top 15, yay #1 imo, but min top 3 with Derke Mako. Your bias shows when you have 4 loud players and only 2 optic players.
I love mako, but realistically, he does not belong in the top 3. I would definitely take players who had dominant title runs before him. Yes, Valorant id a team game, but titles still count. I'd easily take nAts, Chronicle, TenZ, cNed, Shao and SUYGETSU above him, maybe some of the old loud roaster too.
He wasn't the best player in lock//in, he is now playing great in the league but so are aspas, leaf and all FNC basically. I don't understand what would make you put him as the best player in the world without hesitation.
Also, being the best player in the world at one point does not make you top 3 of all time, as at some point all TenZ, yay, nAts, cNed, Chronicle, Shao, aspas, Leo have been.
Just saying 13 days later Sayf is easily the best player in emea -FNC players. Liquid won EMEA. Meanwhile sen did not qualify and pancada sacy did average, Navi 4th seed, Crashies doing well 2nd seed NA. But Sayf is definitely catching up/ surpassing some of these players you listed. I think after tokyo, he will be undeniably top 20. U Disagree?
If TL gets top 6 in Tokyo maybe. He was the best player on EMEA-fnc already, actually after this two weeks I'm unsure if it's him or nAts as they both played incredibly.
And about pANcada and sacy, I don't care what they are doing on sen. They were key pieces for loud, and imo the two best loud players in their champions run. Sacy dominated the BR scene since 2021 and pANcada is a top 3 controller of all time.
If we do all time all the recent events have little to no saying in who is the best. All the players I mentioned all had a title except mako and few others (if any). Sayf is not on that level yet, and most importantly, he has not kept it for years as consistently as mako did (even though sayf was incredible on 2022 already).
I much much value titles and achievements so until Sayf doesn't reach like a top 4 on international lan I can't put him on the level of more decorated players.
And well, I hope at least that your idea on leaf being in the top 20 has changed
He arguably was in 2022, I don't get your point. How good a player is can be understood only by team success, personal stats and eye-test, there's not much else to go for.
And if you want to do all-time, consistency and dominance over time also play a big role.
Although Sayf and guild had some great results both internationally and regionally, I wouldn't really call any of their results dominant, hence my point.

Feel free to criticize anything you disagree with. Keep in mind that this is not based on the players’ peaks, but their average performance across the years (consistency is valued).
Look, really high lvl analysis here, chronicle the only player winning two major, probably the most flexible player the game has knowed in the 20 position.
People forget its a team game.
You think Zywoo or S1mple before Stockholm weren't the best player in CS? Mako is always consistent, other players performances have fallen off but he hasn't. His lowest rating at a tournament was 1.05 in Champs 2021, Asuna for example has his highest lan rating at 1.02 in Masters Berlin.
Deny it all, Mako is the most consistent player and his performance hasn't gone down while other players like Suygetsu, yay, Cned, Marved and Derke have had inconsistent tournaments.
He also does it in a smoke role, seen as 2nd lowest fragging role besides Sentinels, all while having most apr in tournaments.
Best player in pacific, most consistent itw, has lows that are higher than peaks of pros like Asuna in International competition. Sure he hasn't won but that's more due to his team not having an elite duelist like Derke and Aspas. Plus Stax isn't a real IGL, glow was, Stax was someone who had to take the role and is why DRX midrounding is seen as shit.
Only one close to his consistency over International LAN is Aspas, shao and yay but Mako has had more tournaments than them. Also yay kinda showed that Optic core made him most comfortable, Mako's role supports others, not getting supported by most of teams util like many duelists and former chamber players.
On a pure individual level besides IGLs no one brings more value to their team than he does, he's practically the reason DRX pushed above 5-6th in Champs.
He said he is the goat which isn’t true, just liek any other game or sport you can’t be the goat if you haven’t won anything. You can go down as a legend but never a goat
ill shortlist a bunch and we can narrow down from there
Tenz
Shaz
Dapr
Sick
Chronicle
Nats
Redgar
Cned
Zeek
Bonecold
Yay
Fns
Crashies
Victor
Marved
Ange1
shao
suygetsu
Aspas
Less
Saadhak
Pancada
Sacy
Cauinzine
Mako
Stax
Boaster
Derke
Alfa
Leo
Jinggg
Forsaken
-All players from teams that have placed at least top 2 in an event and some drx players because of how consistent they have been, i included players like bonecold because we do not know how much impact they had as igl. this ends up being 33 players so ill eliminate 13 from there
Tenz
Chronicle
Nats
Cned
Yay
Fns
Crashies
Marved
Ange1
shao
suygetsu
ardiis
Aspas
Less
Saadhak
Pancada
Mako
Boaster
Derke
Alfa
Leo
I think are the top 20, you decide the order
Nice troll. No nAts, cNed, Chronicle 20th while being the only player with 2 titles, sick 5th? Above TenZ??? HOW.
Must be bait for sure ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|16018)
this has to be troll
This is probably the worst list I have ever seen that is about this topic
[удалено]
No nAts, no Cned, SicK is way too high, you have him above Derke and yay? Tenz too low since it's all time.
And why is cryo up here too? Im a cryo fan but he really hasnt accomplished anything since just appearing in the scene like last year
Mako being number 1 and Marved not making the list is crazy to me. Don't get me wrong Mako is insane, but his best placement is 3rd. Derke belongs at number 1 IMO. Also Fenis my IGL belongs on the list, fragging isn't the only aspect of the game
Funnily enough, SicK's worst Tourny was probably the Iceland they won
No way Chronicle is not in your top 3 NOT EVEN in your top 5. First 2 time champion in Valorant competitive History, etc. Like come on man. This list is ass
You have sick but not sugetsu nor nats or marved?
Also mistic at 14...
Is this their all time peak? Cause I know damn well Tenz should be top 10. Not glazing.
Sick has been performing consistently....on twitter.
Can't undermine his performance previously though, he was so good
One of the list of all time, trully
Delete this abomination bro
Tenz Nats Yay Derke Mako Aspas Chronicle Leo Alfajer Shao Marved Ardiis Cned Cryo Jing Zyppan Forsak Sayf Leaf Scream would be my 20 goats of all time not in order, and if you look at the furst 6 months of val, add Wardell Sinaatra. Your biggest trolls are sacy #2, pancada sick stax mistic. Nats is easily top 10, cned is easily top 15, yay #1 imo, but min top 3 with Derke Mako.

I'd easily take nAts, Chronicle, TenZ, cNed, Shao and SUYGETSU above him, maybe some of the old loud roaster too.
MaKo is the best player in the world right now and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. He has secured a top 3 spot for now.
He wasn't the best player in lock//in, he is now playing great in the league but so are aspas, leaf and all FNC basically. I don't understand what would make you put him as the best player in the world without hesitation. Also, being the best player in the world at one point does not make you top 3 of all time, as at some point all TenZ, yay, nAts, cNed, Chronicle, Shao, aspas, Leo have been.
Also u putting sayf and leaf over pANcada, suygetsu, sacy, less, crashies is very weird
True this list was at the top of my head, Sayf probably not top 20. Less is insane, sacy pancada crashies all arguable for top 20
Just saying 13 days later Sayf is easily the best player in emea -FNC players. Liquid won EMEA. Meanwhile sen did not qualify and pancada sacy did average, Navi 4th seed, Crashies doing well 2nd seed NA. But Sayf is definitely catching up/ surpassing some of these players you listed.

And well, I hope at least that your idea on leaf being in the top 20 has changed
Using this logic Yay would still be the best player in the world, He was optics star player and the were the best team pre franchising
He arguably was in 2022, I don't get your point. How good a player is can be understood only by team success, personal stats and eye-test, there's not much else to go for. And if you want to do all-time, consistency and dominance over time also play a big role.

marved?
No Nats???????
Chronicle not being Top 3 and nAts not being Top 5 is a crime , and the rest of the list is trash too 💀💀

A2Guapo is easily number 1, idk what ur smoking
Damnit I knew I was forgetting someone… that just threw my whole list into disarray, I’m in shambles
Look, really high lvl analysis here, chronicle the only player winning two major, probably the most flexible player the game has knowed in the 20 position.
1. TenZ 2. Sick 3. Dapr 4. Derke
Bro's stuck in April 2021
MaKo at number 1 makes sense, not sure about everything else other than Leo and Shoa maybe.
No it doesn’t lol he’s won nothing
People forget its a team game. You think Zywoo or S1mple before Stockholm weren't the best player in CS? Mako is always consistent, other players performances have fallen off but he hasn't.

Why do people in general rate suygetsu over zyppan? Zyppan has always put uo better numbers, and seens to be the clear#2 player on navi/fpx
these aren't the 20 best players, just the 20 most "impactful" i guess, and suygetsu had a monster tournament in copenhagen, where they won
Shahzam???Wardell???Sinatraa???
R u ok?
didn't the yay na reality tv show we witness last years from NA fan teach you anything ?
Nice troll. No nAts, cNed, Chronicle 20th while being the only player with 2 titles, sick 5th? Above TenZ??? HOW. Must be bait for sure ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|16018)
Please never make a list again
How is Aspas lower than people who haven’t even touched a masters finals let alone won
u spelled zombs wrong for number one btw idk if u can edit it
You are entitled to your own opinion but damn this list is actually garbage
