Sorry for the clip quality. Theres a few reasons for this but I figured out the issue and future videos like this one will not have that issues but its a bummer for this one that the clip quality is wonky.

[@WetheBack]

the video is so good but the quality doesnt do respect to your work or the players clips

[@chaneru4476]

Karon not being mentioned is crazy

[@sopvp7719]

He was good at madrid but not even close to the numbers that these players put up in their rookie tournaments

[@kesoube4040]

Cant put up as crazy numbers cause of his role sadly. And alot of ppl just care about the numbers

[@rachillin118]

@@kesoube4040I mean, nats played Cypher/Viper so I feel like you can’t say this - but numbers aren’t everything and it’s true that duelists put more higher K/D overall. Karon was insane tho

[@sopvp7719]

@@kesoube4040 there were 3 smoke players that put up better numbers than karon that event

[@stewpid6180]

@@sopvp7719 I might be late but karon literally broke the 1000 kills in pacific earlier this month lol... and he has carried his team in many games already... my guy even went 18/2(k/d) against DRX in the upper finals at one point

[@zelnyte]

let's not forget karon is also a rookie

yea but woot had more impact

[@divyanshu_chaurasiya]

@@AndySun-qv8lg woot didnt win Shanghai tho. Karon had more impact which won them the finals.

[@munkhjinmunkhbayar5952]

​@AndySun-qv8lg Eh maybe but wo0t played duelist because MiniBoo wasn't there which changes things I think because there is no replacement for Karon. Hm

[@victorysaber5407]

hence why he stated the definition of rookie being first international, and for karon, although still very impressive on masters madrid as his first, wasnt a rookie anymore on masters shanghai

[@CreeperawmanYT]

​@@munkhjinmunkhbayar5952yea but what about controller role? They had also have a lot of impact helping the team as well. And karon also have that firepower that Gen needed

[@SongfulpuppyXBL]

Karon is a super rookie and wasn’t mentioned, blud came straight from ranks

[@SummerBlueSky1]

the difference between the guys mentioned and karon is that the people who were mentioned had a t2 or tournament background while karon literally got picked up from ranks.

[@JopoGD]

Johnqt????? Took a dying sentinels and brought it back to win an offseason tournament, kickoff, and madrid. You could also argue for karon and his performance at madrid and kickoff.

[@Ezikyy]

It's sad to realize that Yay had the Brightest start in his career, but now is struggling to get into a roster

[@anghuyphamnguyen3096]

Idk why he got into DSG, that might be his stupidest decision, he could have just accepted lowering his revenue and shit in some tier 2 teams tbh

[@FMDIDGAD]

Not putting Karon is criminal

[@reqru1t]

Suygetsu imo makes sense to be up there i'm fine w/ the top 3 as is tho ACE cNed or Zeek also are good players to bring up

[@lqtor5950]

This is a pretty small thing but Chet wasn’t with nv during Berlin they were still coached by mikeshd(who was unable to make the event). Edit: after finishing the video I think every player that you mentioned deserves to be in the conversation but there’s a few players that probably should be mentioned that aren’t. Besides karon and johnqt, which are some of the obvious ones, there’s also players like cryo, sayf, jinggg, something(important to remember that champions was something’s first international), suygetsu and shao. Obviously you can’t talk about every single player but maybe a top 5 or 10 format would be more fitting. Aside from that and some minor factual errors(nagz might’ve been considered the worst duelist at Berlin and nowhere near the best, maybe you were thinking about keznit), this was a pretty good video.

[@Abyss900]

Lets not forget that Karon and johnqt is rookie

The video was supposed to be out like right after Shanghai but I passed the video around to a couple editors and I guess the quality declined through sending it back and forth. On my end before exporting it looked fine but YT always compresses it more than I expect :(

i think a rookie should be considered as someone who was only pro in valorant and not previous games

[@mommyneon4390]

i feel like nats shouldn’t be considered a rookie because specially compared to players like demon1. nats was on gambit for almost a full year before berlin. he had plenty of time in that team facing competition. there were many other better choices who would’ve been considered actual rookies

[@Sg190th]

Shanghai was amazing. Rookie players had the masterclass.

[@Obinove]

Kinda feels like you wanted make a video about woot from from how you define what a rookie is honestly. Because if you go by what an actual rookie is and apply it to Valorant Esports, woot is not even making top 20 ngl.
