[@azo0ownz]

why is he so good? everyone talking about flamez but everytime i watch he got negative K/D and is on the bottom of the scoreboard with apex, is that just his role or what makes him so good? (not saying he is bad, just wanna know)

[@alpama37]

​@@azo0ownzflamez plays the dangerous role of entry. It means that he dies half the time as first contact but the other half of the time his mechanical prowess shines through. I've been out of the scene for a while (since Atlanta 2017) but I've come back in the last year or so and I've been super impressed by him on OG and now Vitality. As entry, he's often get a kill or less and die. But he also makes important commits to clear the most pressing angles and to get an opening kill to make or break a round on T side. You'll see it on Nuke. Half of what made ENCE fall apart was his quick plays coupled with excellent aim/assist for his teammates even if he dies soon after. Add to that he's good in the clutch, and you've got a hot topic in T2 (much like jks for that matter, though jks plays anchor and lurk) which has made him rise through to potentially the strongest team globally.

This vitality is so dangerous. Even when ZywOo isn’t carrying to unrealistic standards the rest of his team can easily pick up the slack. We saw this in the quarters and semis, FlameZ, Magisk, and Spinx really played a good series in places where it counted the most.

[@rowsncols]

Also we can’t forget apex’s clutches when it mattered the most (despite disappointing stats)

[@michaelgoldsmith9359]

I guess but also you can't take a bounce back as a guarantee, dupreeh had a good feel on the game and could have suited zywoo better maybe with his coms or positioning. Having both a 1.4 rated zywoo and a fragging entry isn't necessary a given.

@@slayer2573 ENCE really knows Nuke was Vitality's strongest map and they know they're good on both side espcially CT side of course, so them starting at CT are not what I expected since just like I said Vita is also really good on T side thanks to zonic and mag1sk. If ENCE could start on T and let Vita play on CT the chances of them beating Vita is 65% since nuke is CT sided. Their last battle on Nuke was a close one when ENCE started on T side.

Revenge taken successfully from ence

[@shakespear90]

The power of Ence in gun rounds is the opening kill by Sunpayus when he has awp. Most of their T side strat are based on his opening, which makes call by Snappi easy to manage in 5v4. If Sunapyus misses his shot and opponent team knows his position, Ence win rate of the round drops significantly. Worst if Sunpayus dnt get kill and dies. dycha plays sigma cs by crossing smokes. Maden is awful at clutching. Nertz is very hard to deal with tho. All that to say that, in term of calling and teamplay, Ence is overated af. Again, 90% of their calls are based on Awp opening kill either line by line or on spawn. Awful cs
