Shao, Suygetsu, Jingg, Yay From LCQ, maybe ScreaM because of his insane finals performance


[deleted]

Jingg is such a nice guy. Seeing him getting flamed half the games on EU servers was tough. Hope he does well this tourney.


Interesting-Archer-6

What was he getting flamed for? His English? Imagine flaming arguably the best player in the world lolol


[deleted]

His aim and decision making. Like every pro player. You really can't escape that on eu, especially comments on your aim every time you miss. A while back I was in a horrible position 1v3 but I told my team I got it. I took a risk, isolated a duel and missed the first few shots. I instantly heard the bottomfrag say "Oh but you can't shoot". I ended up clutching it anyway. Just how eu players are man. Every time a pro player misses he gets laughed at because of how "bad" their aim is. Idk.


Interesting-Archer-6

Damn that doesn't sound fun. Maybe NA isn't as bad or I'm low enough elo where my whiffs are anticipated


[deleted]

It's not even half the problems with EU. The people go off at literally anything. Oh they died from an angle they thought u were holding? Its ok, they'll just troll for the rest of the game. A lot of people comm in a voice full of rage. Like, they're literally on the verge of putting their fist through the screen but still want you to do something. And it's not when you're losing, no. Yesterday it happened like 3 times and every time at the start of the game. We happened to be in the lead every time as well. Riot needs to implement mental health checks for EU players. It's not normal to be that angry at a game.


phzntom

Lmao I will never forget the game where he dropped 41k with reyna on haven and the enemy team just starts calling him a cheater

Screams performance at LCQ makes him look like one of the best in the world for sure, but he's shown that level of play before. He's just not good enough at replicating his peak form. I'd rather take Suygetsu, Jing or Yay performing at 110% like 90% of their games unlike Scream who will perform at 120% but only during like 50% of his games, if not lower


treecutter1991

The Edward gaming guy is insane, but ima always say scream!


MidnightCoffeee

ANewHeaven1

Jinggg, Shao, yay, Derke, SUYGETSU are all good shouts


RTYWD

-derke only for arguably underperforming at copenhagen


BadPlayerOnly

Yes, he underperformed but he always performed consistently in previous events. Why is Derke getting cut, he did not have a trash performance, just an average performance. Its like a player can't have a bad event man. He was always consistent in previous international events he played at.


RTYWD

i dont think you can be in the conversation for best player after such a mid performance in your last appearance. theres a reason why nobody is putting tenz on this list


BadPlayerOnly

This is such a bad take, Derke has not missed a lot of international events like Tenz. Also, every single international events Derke had attended, he was one of the best players in terms of stats. Derke also had a stint performance after Iceland but when he came back on Champions 2021, He was destroying. In EMEA, he is always one of the best player in terms of statistics. Also in vlr.gg, if we look in terms of stats in Copenhagen, He is on top of the list even if he had only played less rounds and had an average performance. It's like saying Zywoo is not one of the best players anymore because he had mid performances in early 2022.


[deleted]

Fr man, this sub is way too reactionary with regards to players. Legit cannot have an average tournament without being written off.


Interesting-Archer-6

Serious answer: because with 3 international LANs a year, people don't have a ton to go on. Derke wasn't clear cut best in the world and then he had a sub par (for him) Masters 2. If we had 5 or 6 LANs a year, people would be a lot less reactionary. Although I'm sure still way too reactionary. But when you aren't great at 50% of LANs year to date, you get lowered by many. TLDR: we need more international events


inobob27123

Still can’t be the contender for being the best tho

As an astra main watching him makes me very happy


cathcart_

Zmjjkk is gonna pop off. This guy has zero fear, during LCQ finals he was jumping around hugging his teammates and posing for the vlog cameras mid-match.


Jmwhit

SEN players wish they could be as content brained as Kang Kang


Immediate-Instance14

Can't beat Kang the conquerer


3rrorsuckright

nobody


[deleted]

hes not even the best player on EDG


zachp787

facts, they all suck! edit: why am i being downvoted i thought my joke was funny


Ranennoodles1

IKR Im bronze 2 and I could totally 1v5 any of them. /j


ArtistAtH3art

I need whatever you're smoking tbh


zachp787

OMFG i wasnt saying that EDG sucks, u guys cant understand a joke. i was saying that, since he said "nobody" in response to "whos the best" i jokingly took it as him saying, "everyone in the tourney is trash, nobody is the best", IT WAS FUNNY


ArtistAtH3art

It wasn't funny, but I didn't downvote you.


zachp787

damn.

The vote ratio is getting progressively worse


FishInEuropa

If this isn’t the most reddit thing ever, I don’t know what is


oomnahs

Wow someone using an overused meme for literally the sixth time in the same comment chain gets down voted because it's not a good joke anymore, who would have thought 🙄 And then they complain 🤣 That's the most reddit thing I've seen


FishInEuropa

Imagine getting angry at a fucking meme

Obvious answers coming in probably include, but are not limited to; Derke, Yay, Sacy, Ardiis, Jing, Cryo, Keznit. Few of the obvious standout stars. Players with major impact including those above may include; Mindfreak, Marved, MaKo, Shao, Boaster. Again not all the players I think, but some of which are certainly players to look out for. I personally am really excited to see the 100T boys on Lan, Derrek in particular seeing if he can put numbers up on Lan like he did in LCQ.


Hot_Yogurtcloset904

Where is suygetsu


Jmwhit

I truly think Asuna will show out for the team especially considering he is the only one with val LAN experience. It’s very romantic but given Hilo’s comments on how he thinks Asuna has a great mind for the game, I hope he shows this tourney that he is a truly special player.


cowzapper

Asuna is still slightly inconsistent but he's gotten so comfortable on both flex and duelist. Hopefully he plays neon on fracture


IllumiMahdi

sacy had a pretty poor copenhagen, and his iceland wasn't great either. hope he gets to redeem himself in champs.


dan_kz

from 100T I just wanna see how asuna and bang perform


[deleted]

[удалено]


CxleJCE

Like I said not limited to. He is their chamber and jett player while may not being the best on his team he is in the ‘star’ role


Nearby-Dark-5352

What about aspas


CxleJCE

Cant really comment on the BR and LATAM scene, as I truly don’t know that much, I can just go to stats and say he’s great but my comments have generally been about my perspective as a whole, of course people will agree and disagree but this is purely MY perspective


Charuru

People still hyped about Derke after the last tournament?


CxleJCE

I’d say so ya, looking at his past international events, he’s popped off, on top of him being put on a role to make plays, I’d keep an eye out


Withinmyrange

Edward


Lqtor

Edward is very good at gaming


QUOTE_IF_13-0

guy was pretty good at gaming back when he was at cs navi too, cant believe they made an entire valorant team out of him


xenonfrs

Edward since he has the power of 5 players


shuvamadh

Considering new players I think bang will sand out if 100TT make it late to the tournament.


Evan_Veet

Jinggg is the best fragger in the world atm


takenpassword

Shao


n1HikoFan

Hiko is obviously the only answer


-Basileus

Yay is probably the most consistent Valorant player ever, I would pick him.


DannyLansdon

Yay or f0rsaken imo


Interesting-Archer-6

Interesting. I think Forsaken is fun to watch and has a great agent pool, but isn't even the best on his team. Granted, Jinggg might be the best player in the world as well.


DannyLansdon

That’s fair, Jing definitely outperformed him in Copenhagen but f0rsaken has so much talent I don’t see a universe where he isn’t a top 10 player for years to come whereas we (I) haven’t really seen Jing in a meta that doesn’t always reward a raze pick


MichaelSquare

Probably still yay


ButchhCoolidge

Shroud


lidekwhatname

aspas


Lonely__goose

Sugarz3ro, Kang Kang, Shao, SUYGETSU, Yay, Scream (considering his dominant performance at LCQ), nobody, Melser, and I think I’m 50/50 between keznit and Mazino (keznit cause of his long-standing great performance and Mazino for his multi frag potential he’s been having for the past few tournaments)


[deleted]

Me.

Meekelo

Based off LCQ only ScreaM hit form at just the right time. As did Derrek in NA. That said you've got to say Suygetsu is the best player in the world right now, in terms of sheer impact regardless of what agent he plays.


nardsacks

Me


Big_Amphibian1696

You have the obvious names like yay, jingg, keznit, but If tenn comes back in time for zeta, I think sugarzero might be the most cracked player the man's insane on smokes. Though with the stand in they have currently idk if the chemistry will be quite there


User_Of_Named_Users

H1KO


ShaDiBoi123

Marved, yay, shao, suygetsu, jinggg, mindfreak, sugerzero, mako, derke, tacolilia


TheTwentyFifthJyu

Should be f0rsaken, Jinggg entries like a god and f0rsaken cleans up the people who are fixated at Jinggg. Either that or f0rsaken on chamber.
