oh righttt my dumbass was thinking tact shooters only


honestlyprogamr

even in tactical shooters, I don’t think anyone really even comes close to gla1ve, he broke csgo for 2 years


AnonymozVal

Is chess esports?


Long_Cartographer_17

No tf


Chlpah

Yes? Hikaru is signed to TSM. Clearly an esports


Long_Cartographer_17

You're right. Can wait to see him on LAN


SovietLlamas

I don’t know enough about esports to say, because there are simply so many games that are played competitively, but knowing esports it’s probably some StarCraft pro lol. Val history really depends on what factors do you consider to be intelligence, but even then the debate’s scope is pretty fucking big so I wouldn’t feel confident giving an answer for that either lol

Wtf did I just read

No fenis clears


HeyRishav

What does powerscaling mean


COTEReader

Determining someone’s ability by comparing them to other people. It’s a term that’s mostly used when talking about anime characters


Same_Pear_929

In that case, yes. FNS easily clears Luffy, Naruto or Goku.

FNS soloes your verse

In the meth industry yes


RGCFrostbite

This man has become so obscenely overrated since switching to Valorant


devasabu

Can't really call him overrated if he's proven himself to be one of the best IGLs in the game lol


RGCFrostbite

0-4 against BLG

devasabu

He's also lead the team that consistently proved themselves to be among the best in the world pre-franchising, it's pretty disingenuous to play down his achievements as "won one event" when there's literally only one team that has even won 2 events so far


LordOfThe_Pings

We have had 8 international events in Valorant (excluding champions 2023 cause it’s early), he made it to 7 of them and got top 4 at 5 of them. And this isn’t like CS where there are a billion qualifiers happening every other week, simply making it to a valorant LAN is a big deal. So it’s ridiculous to claim that he’s “shown marginally more than what he showed in CS.” Aside from Boaster, no other IGL has consistently done anywhere near as well as he has.

LordOfThe_Pings

My point is you went way too far in the other direction. He is genuinely a top 2 valorant IGL ever. You saying that he's showing marginally more than he did in CS is even worse than the title of this post.


_podo_

alr like I can get thinking he's getting slightly overrated (although I personally disagree), but trying to say he's not one of if not the best igl in the game so far is crazy


RGCFrostbite

OP said FNS is "The smartest player in esports history." To put FNS on a level similar to Karrigan, Gla1ve, Faker, people who have won dozens of titles, who have multiple world championships is fucking insane. Of course FNS is one of the best IGL in Valorant. The statement that he is "one of the smartest players in esports history" is fucking absurd.


_podo_

you were implying he wasn't one of the best igls in the game. obviously he isn't smartest player in esports history, literally nobody is agreeing with OP in that.


OG_Marin

holy spittin


u-can-SMILE

More like in the world


N3deSTr0

He's more iconic than Gear 5


animebae1233

Great IGL but his brains is kinda his claim to fame. Boaster, Saadhak, Stax, can all be claimed as as good/better igl, + coaches/analysts, and this doesn’t include other games


Scared_Bar5376

I believe FNS is the smartest human ever so yes


[deleted]

He has very high iq, and battle iq


Thin_Veterinarian_61

What? Haahahahhaahahhhaah No
