so he got 1 pumped then ran because he got third partied and needed time to medkit and pop minis, he then would crank 90’s but cock block himself with a wall, then get shot down taking fall damage

i definitely got a solid hardon whenever diamond joined the lobby i think that adds to his aura.

and aura was never about dueling as per mwah's own definition so if yall r words (hi maya) start comparing duel stats u already lost the debate.

No one in the universe really cares about whose better in a dead arse game, also no human has any aura on this planet, i remember i once took part in a fierce battle, i was a mercenary for hire fighting against a strong alien race who was fighting for galaxy domination, i still remember till this day when their leader showed up, she killed 60% of our comrades in a flash by just using her aura, at that point i was just trying everything in my power to survive, i didn't stick around to find out what else she had in store whenever she was going to get serious or not, i jizzed my pants and ran off
Btw i vote for diamond cuz he has legendary status in this game unlike shmevin

still waiting for the explanation in fortnite terms

Ryan vs Fred now

Diamond based on aura because his name alone induces a pavlovian response in the chat with mf's salivating like dogs whenever he joins a lobby. Reputation = Aura.

And if you were to base it off of pure technical ability, he wins as well, along with strategic foresight, and self-control. Call him a runner, but at the end of the day, you're either a winner or a loser. He understands the psychological game. And that it's an equally important battle.

Diamond in his prime years > everyone else. iTemp, Felnin, Shmevin are the only one's who even come within a ballpark of that, however, Shmevin win's on style/aesthetics/ & BALLS.

get your head out of the goddamn gutter, protect yourself from the chemical trails. wear a mask, stay 7 feet away from potential chemical trail zombies, wear gloves and hazmat suit. the chemical trail zombies are coming for you....you must be vigilant

Late reply, but:

I don't think this argument is valid. First of all, we need to understand the context behind the 2018 WC. The low pool of players is due to the nature of the tournament that only allows the highest ranked players over 3 seasons (Seasons 2-4). I'd personally argue that at that time, the players that were competing, were of higher quality. Back then, the world championship actually meant something. This championship in particular, was the first one since 2012, which elevates its prestige, causing the win to be much more desirable. The desire to win this championship naturally led to participants being more competitive, and trying harder to get the title.

You mentioned that Shmevin's 2022 run is more impressive due to there being 93 competitors. But just how good were the quality of most of the competitors that makes a larger number more impressive? My 2019 WC run had 127 competitors, does that make me a better World Champion than Shmevin? Even when looking at the 2022 WC bracket, iTemp had the much harder path to the finals. He had to face Jenson, deoxer, BOOST, and Fire. I'm not even sure if Shmevin would've even made the finals if he got iTemp's draw.


When I was actually playing back in 2017-2020, when I watch Diamond I was always in awe. When I watch Shmevin, sometimes I'm like "wtf is this dude doing". Now, this is just my probably outdated perspective. But in honesty, no player had the level of prestige and aura that Diamond had at his prime.

Are you really trying to compare them when one was dead for over 2-3 years and only played in clan league, while the other being one of the most active duelers at the time?
