i think they should keep kangkang on OP and put smoggy on kayo

[@melsy9355]

Feel like smoggy is more disciplined on duelist tho

[@dorutoxd8483]

I agree but just being disciplined doesn't make one a better duelist,hot take but smoggy has better aim than kangkang in riffle but kangkang's duelist nature and positioning is better,judging from the success he's had​@@melsy9355

[@abeyang2856]

@@melsy9355smoggy don’t make an impact kangkang. They’re terrible with him. Kangkang at least puts fear into opponents to not peak.

[@relykremok1225]

they're trying to be like PRX or more like KangKang play like Forsaken which is a flex god being a duelist doesnt mean the best fragger, sometimes its being a waste on a duelist role because there are a lot of times that Duelist will be the Entry Fragger and Entry Fragger usually dies after getting 1 kill or worst they wont get a kill Controller or Sentinel or even initiator could actually carry the game single handedly especially on defense, they also could easily get multiple kills unlike Entry Duelist who's main job is to create space and kill 1 then most likely die

[@dentrm2039]

​@@relykremok1225 yep idk why people always call "the best player of the team should use duelist" Duelist has the highest risk of dying, the reason why good duelist like aspas will still keep getting duelist role is because their entry power is on another level, being able to clear so much space while staying alive Even something that has insane flick is using gekko lately, it's either raze or double duelist nowadays

[@bluey727]

Big part of the decision imo was his sens change from 0.4 to 0.2 800 dpi. Without the high sens, he's more suited for rifler instead of op. No clue why he changed his sens though (update) I just checked and he went back to 0.4 recently probably because of edg's performance in madrid. But he was in 0.2 demon1 sens during madrid u can even see it on how he plays

[@kurisu8035]

pretty sure he was playing 1600 dpi 0.2 so i dont think it makes too much of a difference

[@flux3033]

he changes his sens all the time

[@ariseal]

Agreed

[@yutawatanabe344]

Maybe EDG just using safe strat for their region tourney

[@milodrinker174]

actually kk has stated he will go back to op in shanghai

[@karankaushiknayak777]

I know it might sound like i am downplaying KK but Tyloo is not par With JDG. If you are watching the CN regularly from last year it is Quite easy to See that Smoggy is More disciplined than KK. In my Opinion Jet Smoggy is better Than KK with Changes to how they approach to the Site Entry and KK should Stay in raze

[@papsithepepsi5049]

IMO smoggy should play raze pn raze maps and KK jett on jett maps like PRX do with jingg and smth but i dont watch that much CN so idrk

[@fluquor8035]

KK rely on outtiming most of the time and think/analyze too much as duelist. Either go Tenz route, but without tenz performance or have PRX-like meta-defining strats.

[@FrostedAimer]

Prx something is pretty insane with the op but really I ain’t a radiant to decide

[@mr.mirror1213]

What a reasonable take !

[@flux3033]

something is honestly better hes too fast

[@csblucas]

[@klindonuggets5699]

Something's flick and his reaction is so good. I hope he will be more consistent with it.

[@kanhaahlawat3232]

[@abeldirgayusa9206]

i dont get if u have these type of "star player" its usually better to put them on the star role and let them polished their game

[@Agila388]

and sayaplayer oping alot and not hiting everything. but one tapping everyone with a vandal. i dont get why kk wont op and saya wont vandal

[@Jinx-iw6zb]

especially considering they have fucking xccurate on their team. He might not be the flashiest oper but he is the most consistent oper in valorant right now.

[@key0fhype]

To be fair, saya has been consistent with op for almost like 2 years so I understand T1 letting saya op even though he isn't looking great with it recently.

[@balasubramanianb2308]

kangkang is my fav but i would say something is the best oper currently. edg need a deeper book of strat, and unconventional comps as of they are very predictable.

[@yoseff1191]

its because he grew hair (nerfed)

[@amirimran5084]

KK and Something definitely up there when talking who's the best awpper....but Something has more flexibility due to his team playstyle. KK is more or less a typical Jett main and his own it hard. Let's be real Aspas is not an awpper, dude is the best rifler without doubt, but he's not an awpper.

[@seankim2916]

aspas is a top 3 op in theworld bro what.

[@kalig3179]

Bro never seen aspas play 💀

[@theanomity3185]

Tbh they HAVE to change. Their previous playstyle rely too much on hero plays

[@zeckex564]

Kangkang the best oper in the world? I mean, have you seen how aspas has been the most consistant and fragging Oper Jett for like 2 years or something like that? Even in the Chamber meta with yay farming, aspas was still farming with the op and he barely played Chamber

[@zeckex564]

And I'm not doubting how good Kangkang is, he's very good but I hate how everyone overhyped him because he had a good event after Masters Tokyo

[@waytun9608]

@@zeckex564I think it’s cause he’s very flashy with the op and used it a lot compared to most duelist , he was even oping on gekko and raze a lot

fax, aspas operator stats are in a whole different level

[@jorjewhashingmachine6313]

he could go back to op, but it would be quite predictable

[@seishiro11]

I mean that's their best bet and wdym predictable like will teams expect him to peak weird angles?

[@Shiruuka]

@@seishiro11 If you go watch Giants VS EDG in Champs the 1st split was a loss because giants knew kangkang would buy an op when he could, thats predictable and they also knew he would just reswing every angle he'd peek. giants shut them down. So i think they knew the Op crutch wouldnt work as effectively.

[@WitheredW]

Not really ops are only predictable if they play in predictable spots and good opers can abuse teams that aren’t disciplined enough

[@maibigbutt3746]

@@Shiruuka same thing happened with PRX in Group Stage of Champs. They shut down Kangkang's OP on Fracture every time by pre firing angles and always swinging with at least 2 people against him

[@pugiscracked1761]

Prx just got unlucky ngl :\ PRX ON TOP

[@kneegear5123]

No? Not unlucky, it’s that they played the bad 3 duelist 2 smokes comp in split, so they get 0 info all of the time Next game against TH they changed the comp into having skye

You cant be unlucky in tournaments. They know their opponents and you can study their playstyle, unlike ranked

Aspas is the best oper without anyone being close dont disrespect Aspaszin like this! No but seriously kankan is behind him but i think the change rn is acc smart

[@oskarifps]

kangkang has never been a good player just the prime example of a talentless player who crutches extremely broken guns like op and judge and is unable to be a traditional entry duelist player as well as being a sub-par rifler, in solo duelist comps he gets completely dominated since he usually relies on baiting his team while lurking on the other side of the map since he usually lets smoggy entry instead. He can’t keep up with the meta so he should be dropped for a better traditional duelist player 👍
