Who was the best player in franchise this year according to you
kaajak for sure he didn't win but made 3 finals most improved is all of NRG and if its winning teams only i would go f0rsaken(slight bias) going to fully smokes + igl and having 2x impact modifier every kill he got seemed like the most important kill in the round to get back into it or finish it then
Ethan no bias he won them the final like f0rsaken but it was for a map a incredible map of sunset where he won them all 13 rounds ngl
i wanna say brawk but i can't say brawk odin abusing fraud stole ethan's mvp -odin kills (haram kills) its between skuba or ethan
stupid and bad one which is to play for spam which is the least skillful or and fun way to watch and play the game and yes the fun part matters cause val is a esport which is made for YOUR entertainment
if something isn't enjoyable to play against or watch it shouldn't be in the video game another reason why it shouldn't be in the game
least skillful? have you heard what the other players mentioned about brawk? brother puts in the effort to learn spray patterns and timings and i don’t think that just because FNC couldn’t counter that means that it’s no skill lol. simply put, if they were the better team they would’ve won. no point getting so pressed over the fact and giving all sorts of bullshit excuses for why they lost. FNC is an amazing team but some of their supporters are really just braindead when it comes to understanding that the gun is in the game for a reason.
i was rooting for NRG and i am happy they won doesn't mean the odin isn't bad game design :D
its a ego thing with the players playing the with the odin which is badly design has low skill expression(compared to rifling) and validly considered cringe to play with and against
players didn't use the phantom when it is still straight up the better gun expect on long maps like abyss they didn't start using stinger strats even tho it is the best eco force in the game main duelists not using yoru when he has BEEN good duelist for a while
not saying as many judge,odin pulled out is a ego thing that is the one of reasons they aren't hard abused (also kind of playing not lose instead of playing to win not willing to take risks another problem imo)
are the odin judge no skill NO. are they less skillful then legit every other gun YES
Duelist-aspas.t3xture,kaajak

dfinetly not aspas , he had a stellar champs tournament , but last masters he was absolute dogshit , just a very inconsistent year , someone with a 0.53 in an international cannot be in the best for the year conversation , since being consistently good is one of the biggest metrics , so i would say kaajak , since he was solid to great since the beggining of the year , when aspas when to solid , to absolute shit to great
between kaajak and aspas. kaajak was asleep during kickoff and aspas was ass during masters toronto despite being thanos in americas and champs
hot take- forsaken, he changed roles became a great igl and led prx to a trophy with a brand new player
goatpas is always there in the top 5 like every year, monster of consistency. Apart from him, standout names are obviously goatfajer, cuh jack, hyunHIM (until estrella arrived and terrorized drx), the pooper rex guys, its hard to put any of them at number 1 undisputedly
