It has been hot minute since he competed in top level VCT.
But still I am yet to see someone who is yet to play viper as effective as him.
He creates impact mid round and late round.
Very rare for a vipers to do that good.
Any other good viper mains who can compete at his level?

tronunz [#4].
Korean controller overlord, not as good as viper as nats, but he is a top level player on any smokes
asdfghjkl [#2]curry but they took him off it (i'm not joking stage 1 he was insane)
Not anywhere close to the level of nats in gunplay and viper utility.
But curry is a lovely dude. Hope he gets a better team
Caliburn0723 [#5]Yup, he is a world class controller on any role
He is a world class player on any agent, not just controllers, man is an absolute legend. He used to be a jett one trick, and now he's this.

not at the moment what i'm trying to say is back then he would've been a walmart nats
jawn [#3]mako? maybe? idk
mako's aim is insane but i dont think his utility gets as much impact as other viper players
Asphyxia [#13]Poach and Andersin are always great to watch, Sscary is insane, MaKo is world class like everyone is saying.
ma boy just brought up Poach and Andersin in the same convo as nats

Basically all of DRX is a bunch of Jett players they made switch roles haha
whysoup [#18]Basically all of DRX is a bunch of Jett players they made switch roles haha
besides Zest and Stax
archetype [#26]MaKo and sScary are the only two who come close. Marved is good but his Viper is the weakest agent compared to his Brim and Omen. If Less consistently played like how he did during UBGF Icebox he could be up there too.
agreed
whysoup [#27]Stax the og breach god
He had some off performances early in the tournament, didnt come online against Optic but man that ace on split against Zeta was something else
asdfghjkl [#11]not at the moment what i'm trying to say is back then he would've been a walmart nats
Yep I remember one series I think against SEN? Where he sat in spawn all series and still won so much rounds for them lol, he used to have a lot of impacts from his lurks back then
RickyIndian [#15]mako's aim is insane but i dont think his utility gets as much impact as other viper players
Fam what do you... oh wait, flair checks out
Few people have made a strong case, however, no one is as impactful as nAts, and probably won't be as M3C/Gambit have a playstyle that create opportunities for nAts to have the impact he is having on agents that can solo hold a site, or go on a solo lurk. Unless someone utilizes their comps to this extent, we won't see a site anchor be as impactful as he is.

and the 1v5 vs PRX too
archetype [#38]and the 1v5 vs PRX too
Definitely, man is NSANE when given the opportunity and doesn't have to support anyone. I feel like the DRX game plan limits him a lot.

t1 is a good team.
number1_ScreaM_fan [#20]nivera was kinda good on viper duirng champs but probs not nats level
Rare L
Lil_nAts [#33]gambit is strong in my mind and nats is my favor pro.but what the reason gambit lost vs g2 and fnc?
Fnc went 22-24 map 3
G2 played one game last 10 days
Gambit played 6 in 9 days on different patches

DRX seems to really suffer when it comes to drawn out tourney formats. They always come out with new stuff but the further they go and more film there is on them, the easier they become to read. It was slightly better with Zest this time around but still need something more to take that next step
factsonly [#47]but truth is nobody still comes close to Nats, he has been farming since beta, so many vods of him most teams target him and review him
yet he frags changing his playstyle every tournament
mention hes still taking school
raynexo [#43]nats is really good. but you are just asking a really irrelevant question. playing an agent at a certain level is really not important. its the player that matters and there are a lot of good controller players.
No, agent performance matters too.
Especially controllers, each has its own style and really hard to perform equally good on all the agents.
Nitro for example was one of the best NA omen, on other hand his Astra,just sucked as*.
Viper makes players mostly to anchor a style and restrict movement across map, many players tried to emulate nats style of free moving viper but failed.
Well you have optic flair, so I I will just keep silent and pretend you know better😅

Bro, not this take again. Zest DRX isn't VS holy shit. Only thing that was readable they did in the tournament was their eco rounds and split against Zeta after they were already mental boomed, ntm that Zeta were the best anti strat team in Iceland (imo) besides Optic.
