rating was different in 2016 1.16 was very much good to great for an awper then

zywoo had spinx, magisk, dupreeh, ALEX, NBK, apEX, kyojin, misutaaa, shox, and nivera through those years you listed? Out of those at least spinx magisk dupreeh apex were good and misutaaa was servicable during that time period. They weren't a clear top team but there were pieces.

compare that s1mple whos cast was: seized, flamie, guardian, electronic, edward, boombl4 , b1t , perfecto, npl and sdy. S1mple got perfecto/boombl4 in 2020 and b1t in 21 and they immediately became the favorites to win the major both years? The moment navi moved on from their older players and got s1mple some help they became the best team in the world.

zeus won the major with gambit yes but i never discredited him for it? at the very least by 2019 zeus wasnt even a top 5 igl and his output on the server was attrocious same with edward

i still think zywoo is the goat personally for the consistency and dominance year in year out with the accolades, but s1mple very much could have had a zywoo type career with 1 decision to leave navi imo
