dude it doesnt matter who he play against. his flicks are the best i have seen in this game so far. there are many radiants and immortals in that elo too also his mmr easy radiant mmr. he got almost every game d3 and immortals as enemies when he was Plat 3.

It's not about your aim getting worse. His point is if youre an above average player in a below average region, you'd shine and look better.

it's the same philosophy of an attractive person looking more attractive when with someone less attractive.

also he didn't mention aim. I might be a bit confused, but unless someone edited a message, or I misread. Who mentioned peoples aim being worse at higher levels, or insinuated it?

he suggests that in immortal+ he wont average 300 acs, him hitting good op flicks has nothing to do with ACS, hes suggesting that the only reason kennys has good op flicks is because hes in low elo

His flicks will stay the same, but he wont be able to get away with half the stuff he gets away with. Was watching him earlier, and he jsut repeeks the same shit, and doesn't get punished for it. dude was against plats and diamonds, and was just vibing. In high imm/rad, he'd get punished for those mistakes.

I think that's his point.

yeah he wont be able to constantly repeek but you dont think he knows that already?

no, but you dont get as many dry peek and easy kill form your enemy.

same reason why a smurf can drop 40 bombs every game in bronze but not in radiant

Bro, all he did was compare him to Mwzera. Mwzera is a standout player in a weaker region. KennyS looks amazing because he's getting away with dumbshit that shouldn't work above Imm.
Nobody is saying he's bad. They're just saying we can't judge how he will be on the game, as all of his games are against diamonds and plats.
He's playing against weaker enemies, so we can't get an accurate gauge on how good he really is.

i am not saying he dont understand he cant dry peek in higher ELO. I am saying HIS OPPONENT dont understand that in low elo, so u have people walking into an awp giving KeenyS free kill, so inflating his kill count

KennyS is not in his prime anymore. I don't think he can do the same against radiants or in pro play. 5 years ago? Maybe. Today? Maybe not.

tarik is trash in valorant and he shits on radiants and kennyS would shit on tarik just sayin! dont talk like radiants are gods or something. if kenny would play 24/7 like the pros do he would even shit on radiants 1on5!

KennyS on an off day is still a tier 1 cs player, which cant be said of most valorant pros

I'd still say he's t1 on a bad day on cs. Unlike val, the top10 isnt all of t1.
Even with his inconsistencies, he's still a top20 awper. Just he isn't good/consistent enough to be at the top, or at competitive form to go against teams like navi, or gambit.

past his prime, sure. Scream was also past his prime, having a constant falloff post 2016. Shaz was past his prime, not achieving much on cs. Hell, every cs player that moved, who was in the scene for more than 5 years, were past their prime. Only cs players who swapped are the 17-21yr olds, who haven't reached their prime yet.
Prime means nothing in val, as their prime in CS was different to Val. Hell, scream was dogshit on GL, and was nothing special for a solid 4 years until he retired. Yet currently he's regarded as one of the best riflers in the game right now.

Also KennyS prime was on Titan, where he'd carry every single game. His past few years hold nothing to his titan/envy days. 2014-2015 kennyS was a monster that nobody will ever beat. It's why he's still regarded as the best AWPer in cs history. Even after the awp nerf, and his cooling down. He still competed at t1 level, for 6 years. Post prime competing for 6 years. He'd be fine competing against anyone in this game. If he transitioned, he'd just need to adjust and would 1000% be more consistant that other opers at pro level.

i agree with this.
I think only pro who switched while still being a tier 1 pro was Ethan.
rest all were "washed up" pros but hey they still be on the top of the scene in this game.

tbh even then, Ethan was in a huge slump, just like nitro. Only player who swapped while not being completely mediocre, was Jamppi. Dude went to ence, did well, then was taken off primary awp for Allu, and then had to rifle. Even then, he was nothing special, but wasnt washed, or in a slump. If not for his ban, he'd probably still be on Ence right now.

Ethan was the top competing person who could stay in t1 out of all that moved tho.

His flicks and all are great but the fights and he takes and stuff, he wouldn't get those fights when he ops like he does in attack side.
He just takes space easily cuz he's in a lower elo.
He won't get favorable ones when radiant / high immortal.

It's because he isn't used to the gamestyle of valorant players. he gets surprised almost every 5 seconds. once he gets used to the Val style, he would never die with OP in hand i would say.

dude is a great awper, but never dying is a bit of an overstatement. If/once he is adjusted to val, he'd probably be similar to wardell, bringing op whenever he can, and peeking everything with it.
He will be a top oper if he decides to swap over.

He will be getting a decent salary, but highly doubt he'd be getting his full amount. Wouldn't make sense from a business standpoint.

But yeah, he's stuck in contract hell right now. Unfortunate tbh. Same with nivera.

I mean, its just ranked tho.

Not going to doubt his ability if he were to play competitively though, not at all. He was the best AWPer in CS until like 2018 when s1mple went on a tear (even now).
