Is Pollo in the GOAT convo?
Here was an interesting Reddit thread on if Pollo beating Peterbot impacts the all-timer list:
“I’m curious to think if pollo winning would make people think he’s above Peter on the all time list, as it in my opinion would make him the more decorated player as he’d have the same amount of fncs as Peter, except pollo would have an extra central win compared to Peter’s east win, which I would consider a more impressive feat. Going along with that pollo had a much more successful 2023 than Peter, so I think from just looking at raw achievements he would be considered better.”

He made some truly insane solo clutches in Games 11 and 12, but it wasn’t enough:
Every peterbot clutch this fncs at the start of the clutch had me thinking that it wasn’t majorly impressive and it was kind of expected due to his loadout and/or the invis coin, but then he would just keep going every single time and exceed all expectations. The fact that he seems to feed on pressure instead of getting negatively affected by it is what will make him the best of all time probably in the next year. (wbeheuuwbevegw on Reddit)
Clix Comes in 3rd
Clix, Eomzo, and Batman Bugha clutched up third place. While it doesn’t auto-qualify them to the Global Championship 2025, it was a strong performance and shows that this trio has what it takes to make it to the global stage.
(Maybe worth watching: If Peterbot’s trio splits up, Clix would get the spot in Globals.)
Bugha Places 7th
Bugha’s team was in third place with just a few games to go, but they didn’t finish strong and ended up in seventh place.
The top 8 trios were FAR ahead of everyone else in the lobby. Bugha’s consistency is what makes him the GOAT.
