Former OpTic Gaming player and finalist of the Valorant Champions 2022 World Championship, Jaccob Whiteaker, known as yay, named Leo as the best player in the professional Valorant scene today. Jaccob expressed this opinion during his broadcast on Twitch.

During one of his streams, yay, as usual, played Valorant and chatted with viewers. At one point, he was asked: in your opinion, who is the best player in Valorant today? Jaccob responded that he considers Leo to be the best player today and added that he would like to play for Fnatic right now.

I gotta say Leo right now. I wish I was playing for Fnatic, man. I would really love to play for this team

But is Leo really the best?

Leo "Leo" Jannesson is a 19-year-old professional player from Sweden. He started his career in Valorant in July 2020 with team Bonk, with which he had successful runs in tier-2 tournaments. The player's next club was Guild Esports, with which Leo played until the team disbanded in 2022. Leo's current team is Fnatic, where the young player gained his fame. With "The Oranges", he achieved his first victory at VCT 2023: LOCK // IN São Paulo, beating LOUD in the finals and earning the MVP title of the match. The next successful tournament was VCT 2023: EMEA League, where Fnatic took 2nd place. The most important in his career was VCT 2023: Masters Tokyo, where Leo, along with the team, also received the championship title.

Leo Jannesson is called one of the most consistent initiators in the professional scene, who never misses in a crucial moment. In the past VCT 2023: LOCK // IN São Paulo and VCT 2023: Masters Tokyo, Leo entered the top three players of the tournament according to the VLR rating, which calculates players' KDA.

Fnatic is looking forward to the world championship, so let's see if Leo can confirm his title as the best player today. You can follow the player's success and the tournament as a whole on our website.
