Sadly those days are long gone, a product of the pandemic era. Not just the individual entries but the semi daily vod reviews going over up and comers like donk, shiro, axile.

Broky was not good for well over half of the year and nothing you say could convince me he is a top 20 player consistency is way more important than highs
This year was kind of wierd because you had people like iM who sucked the first half but were incredible the second, and people like broky who were great the first half but fell off of a cliff the second.
he was a top 5 player in the first half of the year. had a big drop off but had a elite fall final and was decent in major playoffs of shanghai. people like xertion who legit have a negative rating vs top 5 teams should not be ranked 11th
Ropz is the sole reason why Faze is Faze. Broky is long gone, Karrigan appears here and there. Frozen is awesome but still needs time. Rain is godlike just like ropz
this is why launders is the best cs2 analyst. dude calls it how it is without the compensating word salad dancing. straight shooter to the point. good shit dude
Maybe I'm just hate maxing right now, but broky on this list is kinda wild. I actually don't know in what way you could have the take that broky is better than someone like w0nderful. Not even arguing that w0nderful deserves a spot in the top 20, just that if w0nderful isn't there, broky shouldn't even be close. Statically W0nderful was better vs top 10, 20, or even just all. Higher impact and rating every time. Tournament results wise w0nderful was better as well, even with fazes strong first half. I'd even say the supporting cast around broky is near equal to w0nderful, if not on paper better (even tho im sure b1t and JL will be in the top 10). I just feel like broky is overrated. He hits a few clips here and there, sure, but misses easy shots far more than the S tier (and most A tier) awpers would. Put simply I feels like broky is someone who seems to struggle to consistently find impact with the most impactful role in the game. If faze are looking towards a rebuild after losing ropz, and have in mind to cut anyone else, the first name on the chopping block HAS to be broky in my opinion. rain and karrigan at least are less of a detriment even when they don't perform individually.
imo your having recenty bias from the major and the couple last months, for most of the year him and frozen were the only reason faze was getting somewhere. He has 4 evps this year and had a 1.09 rating overall only behind frozen(on faze). If he could always play at his peaks he would easily be a top 3 awper unfortunately hes inconsistent but theres literally nobody who could replace/fit his roll right now
@@itsfutureda all 4 very close. Xantares rating 1.16 vs b1t 1.12. flameZ has IEM Cologne and PGL Major EVPs; Broky has PGL Major and IEM Katowice EVPs, b1t has only Cologne EVP of 4 super Elite Events.
only names here not on my impromptu list are: iM, flamez and Brokey. flamez I can accept, iM less so but yes, but i have no idea how Brokey made it using this metric. My intuition remembers him as a bot that’d go the first 8 rounds with ~1 kill too often to be in top 20
ropz in 14th above broky and frozen feels like crazy recency bias, he was absolutely awful in the 1st half of the year, only good in the last few events
Ropz was top 5-8 earlier this year but fell off mid year so that's justified. Broky and frozen shouldn't be here imo, especially broky. He played mid-awful this year ngl
@@launders he dropped a stinker at copenhagen though, kinda like the reverse of broky and frozen (who both did well in copenhagen but not so much in shanghai). In that case where all 3 of them had 1 good major and 1 bad major, surely ropz is below frozen and broky, especially as i do feel like ropz is a fairly passive player
@@mum-your how? until pro league 20 ropz didnt have a single big event rating above 1.1 which is not indicative of a top 15 player. I think frozen deserves top 20 for sure, only 3 bad events throughout the whole year (even though 1 of them was shanghai, ropz also did crap at copenhagen). It's true broky had some absolute stinkers too, but given that he was mvp in the only big event that they won, I think he deserves top 20, i feel like his recent performances overshadows his importance near the start of the year
@@wangmingchu1379 no? he missed multiple big events (katowice, copenhagen major, spring final), missed playoffs in many others (rio, world final, cologne, dallas) and didnt go far in any tournament. He won nothing, had no evps or mvps, had pedestrian ratings against top opposition and on top of that, fell off massively in terms of individual form as a result of taking up the igl mantle which means for 6 months of the year, he was quite bad. Players like Nertz, w0nderful have much stronger overall cases for a top 20 shout.
Yea i just don’t get how you can overlook how poor he was for such a long period, as well as mediocre at Copenhagen. This major was really his only good event this year and he was otherwise underwhelming
this format is way better man but xanti at 15 is crazy! if consistency and real shit starts at 11, he should at least be 12. Love from Ankara your swag is off the charts
I know this video is totally about something different,but i would love to know if you watched the coffeezilla video about cs skin gambling sites,and what's your opinion about it all?? Would love to know what you think brother! Happy holidays everyone 😊

The Faze glaze is glistening
They made it to both major finals didn't they?
They are in this video not the next 2 so he's pretty on point
Despite the recent struggles, would argue that FaZe players could be a bit higher, knowing how dominant they were at the first half of the season
Love the top 20 so far. Going to be interesting to see what roster changes that happen.
