Cahya "Monyet" Nugraha is an Indonesian Valorant esports player who currently plays for Global Esports as a controller. Monyet was previously a duelist for teams such as ONIC Esports before transitioning to a controller for the VCT Pacific League 2023.

Monyet was one of the most surprising players in terms of performance. He was known to have great aim and mechanics, but fans were skeptical of his potential performance in a completely new role. His performances in the regular season proved that he was one of the best controllers in the Pacific region.

Monyet's Astra and Omen gameplay was very exciting and clean to watch. He was the fourth-highest-rated player in the league, with a 1.13 rating across 458 rounds.

2) d4v41

Khalish "d4v41" Rusyaidee is a Malaysian Valorant esports player who currently plays for Paper Rex as an initiator and flex player. D4v41 is known to be a clutch player with impeccable utility usage.

After the arrival of Ilya "something" Petrov, the team's existing IGL Benedict "Benkai" Tan was benched with some of the leadership roles going to d4v41. The Malaysian star led his team to success with an aggressive playstyle reliant on winning aim duels.

D4v41 was exceptional on agents such as Skye and Killjoy. His Skye gameplay, in particular, was fantastic as he often found multi-kills and critical flashes to get his team back in the round. D4v41 was the second highest-rated player in the VCT Pacific League 2023, with a 1.19 rating across 603 rounds.
