Prime Unknown was the most dominant and consistent pro other than Tayson. He is the reason the point system has completely changed in tourneys.

[@txnjin7806]

Agreed

[@Jordanthecool7]

I’d go as far as to say he was even more dominant at the time than tayson rn

[@Jordanthecool7]

After unknown fell, their wasn’t anyone really too dominant, I mean tayson is great and most likely is the best right now , but he isn’t as dominant as some of the other players been back in the day

Of course there would need to be adjustments, like a damage nerf to 100 or even 75 and a cap of like 3 per person aswell as a deactivation function when the person who placed them gets knocked/eliminated.

As someone who has been keeping up with the community since the Summer scrimmages days, and being a unknonarmy fan. This was so much fun to watch. This for giving a more accurate representation of that history. I really started watching Unknown after world cup. He got so much hate at the time. For being the figure head for W-keying and controller players in general. Reddit and twitter talk shit about him. A lot of pros did not acknowledge his dominants. Saying that winning cash cup did not prove anything. It was weird to see those same pros flexing on twitter after a cash cup win.

2:58 "I'm feeling a little aim assist in my bones"

[@Jordanthecool7]

Unknowns prime is better than any other pro’s prime so far, it’s probably going to take a lot for someone to top how dominant unknown was . People say it was just aim assist but I also seen some of the best mechanical plays at the time aswell from him , and plus he also destroyed people on kbm at the time aswell . He was overall determined back then, he used to be on every day grinding arena , creative, tourneys, and edit courses . I also believe The reason why he fell off Isn’t because of the aim assist nerf, but it was because he stopped grinding as hard. During ch2 s3 and after he did not grind as much as he did before

[@BigDSizl20]

There’s no way to dominate that hard again. There’s too many good players because the average skill level has went so far up

[@noahmoss]

The point system is sadly more focused on placement now as kill are only worth 1 point while a victory is like 40. Plus all of the points gained from 2nd, 3rd, 5th, etc. People would abuse the point system when it had 4 points per kill and they would die at the beginning of their first match or 2 and they would be put in bot lobbies. They would then destroy the entire game and get tons of kills. People who did this would typically get first having only played a few matches. Compared to the other people who played it normally.
