well he's not in tier 1 anymore but I guess we can still count this
Cryo. if he isnt on Jett/Chamber/Yoru OP crutching he cant do anything else. He is only in that team cause he has great aim, even amongst t1 pros, but thats it.
tbf he hasn't awped the last 2 weeks and was their best player vs LEV rifling + he has played Astra/Brim/Omen/Gekko for them as well
cryo nearly dropped the single map ACS record at an international last year on brim btw
brim and sage are the easiest agents and any tier 1 pro can play them, he doesnt play them because hes good at them but because he cant play the other meta agents. thats why 100t played that sage comp so much despite all the criticism, which i think was a good call from zikz
This is like saying if you're an initiator player and can only play scan and you can't play flash then you're a bad initiator player lmao
I’d consider flash and scan two different roles but there are way more inflexible duelists than Aspas
3/5 is enough in tier 1
no because theres not a single map where youd want to not play scan in the current meta, some teams might want a yoru and again artzin on yoru isnt the best i think we can both agree on it
he still has a decent enough agent pool but with declining performance he needs to become more flexible
he is not the most flexible duelist, but claiming he is the most inflexible player is just dumb
aspas would play better than the average pro player in any role he decided to play
it used to be something since he was a jett one trick but his yoru is coming along nicely and his sova is good enough for tier 1
probably free1ng he's ass without tejo
free1ng randomly became insane at tejo but t0rmi also randomly picked up an insane senti player to put him on a role he had never played before just because he always wants the next best korean prospect cuz his ass is more addicted to change than a tiktok maniac braindead zoomer
yeah but he wasn't even good on senti so he should've just transitioned once he became good on tejo
just gave you a reason but sure i guess
flashback is also better on senti by miles theres no point on free1ng being a senti he should've just embraced the tejo and recon role
"he should have just emnraced a role he has no experience on and isn't even good at bc of his coach terrible decisions"
he literaly has played recon for drx and is so horribly mid on it like what do you want from him?
flashback is also better on senti by miles
which is why picking up free1ng was a terrible decision in the first place
he gave him the opportunity in tier 1 which he failed to get with rare atom i wouldn't be complaining if i was a tier 2 player and picked up by a big org like DRX who pay 10x more
that's such abraindead way of thinking abt a player, and how tf does that change anything to termi's incompetence?
Tbh I think termid picked up freeing just so that geng couldn't sign him. Imagine a geng roster with an actual senti player over foxy9 from the beginning? They would be insane. And freeing could mid round and help munchkin too so that pickup would have been insane. Drx has been known for gatekeeping good Korean players in the past so I wouldn't be surprised that termid forced him into the team despite having flashback on the roster.
bro cryo plays yoru, jett, chamber, astra, clove, and brim. Not very flexible by any means but he can pick a good agent that works with the team/the comp that they want to play well.
but definitely yay is up there, maybe with jinggg (hes not bad but he just plays omen and raze)
Yea, he has played quite a few but its always been night and day when he plays his comfort agents vs trying to flex onto anything else so I don't really consider 100T experimenting with Cryo on new agents, as a sign he's flexible. I feel like its pretty telling that Zikz is trying to keep him on Jett/Yoru on most maps.
I mean luckily yoru is meta rn and can be played on most maps, and cryo looks really good on yoru. with kess, it no longer seems like 100t has nearly as many role issues as before, so cryo playing a duelist/flex role doesnt seem to hurt them at all
plus its not like hes playing a smaller variety of agents than someone like aspas, who really only plays jett raze and neon with a little bit of other duelists here and there
yay plays chamber kj cypher clove astra jett, so same amount of agents as cryo, it just so happens that eg is playing a lot of jett rn so he's not playing the kj and cypher, and due to abyss and split being out (abyss isnt back in pro play yet) hes not on the astra. although it is very possible that they will put yay on jett on abyss too and icy on smth else
I think cryo is just stuck at 100T, he has not been used to his max potential. Ex: I can easily see him replace jaw at G2 and pulling insane numbers.
he has topped the americas scoreboards multiple times, and is the top rated jett in the region????
also you cant just use a speculation as an example lol
I think this year Zikz is just not putting him on many agents tho. He has played Astra, Omen, Brim, Sage, Chamber, Jett, Yoru, Gekko in the past.
He’s inflexible, but has been willing to try new roles in the past
Yea, he has played quite a few but its always been night and day when he plays his comfort agents vs trying to flex onto anything else so I don't really consider 100T experimenting with Cryo on new agents, as a sign he's flexible.

As much as I don't wanna say it, it's Jinggg
However him flexing onto Omen has opened the door for PRX to play comps that make sense
If they want to, they can have jing play these agent is what i mean. I dont think hes uncomfortable playing these agent
Boaster because...? He can play omen, astra and viper - pretty much everything you'd need from a controller player in this meta
Tbh Riot does need to nerf omen because omen getting play on every map except bind makes every controller player look like they can only play omen
if its past and present then it has to be skrossi. this guy can only play jett when his team got monyet and t3xture and hes not even good with jett 🤣
munchkin isn't inflexible
viper just thrives in this meta and works on all maps
it's for sure aspas look at his agent spread it's 332 maps of raze+jett and then 92 games of other agents a majority of which is reyna from a long time ago
he has literally never once played an agent outside of a duelist besides 6 maps on chamber
Uhh, because he never HAD to flex onto other agents in his career? Because he could play almost every duelist pretty well? That's like putting a goalkeeper at mid-fielder despite him / her doing goalkeeping the best...
How can VLR users be this dumb man
inflexible to me means they have not been flexible at all, not that they COULD be flexible if forced
I think aspas could but that doens't change the fact that he HAS NOT BEEN.
we are not predicting the future, we are looking at the present
In his 2023 run, he actually didn't look bad when he had to play brim/astra for the team. But yea on duelist he can really only play Jett
yea, Jingg picking up omen is the single greatest decision PRX have ever made - maybe even more so than picking up Patmen
Cryo has played brim, gekko, chamer, cypher, jett, yoru, omen and astra. That's a decent agent pool, he's not inflexible. Zikz just has him on 2 agents. While Qraxs is still kicking around being a kayo 1 trick
qRaxs. the guy is a kayo one trick lol and can’t play a single other agent properly
the only reason for that is because he had a life game vs GiantX of all teams lol like at least farm a decent team for your stats game
I would say jinggg but since it's js omen and raze, but honestly I dont think it matters because how PRX plays and how good his raze is
Elite
Bro was him in 2024 when the only 2 sentis people played were Cypher and Killjoy + he can play Viper, but his Vyse and Deadlock are ass and I'd imagine his primary smokes would be similarly ass
yes it is cryo. his team always has to adjust for his agent puddle, it was worse before he picked up yoru and he's mid when he's not op crutching on jett or chamber
ardiis, the man is too fat to even walk i dont think hes gonna be very flexible
I'm surprised no one said this but Spike, he's kind of a neon one trick, his other agent are alright but nothing special.
I would still say Jingg honestly people will say he is playing omen what else do you need but they will forget about the agents he still knows is sage , Reyna , Phoenix , Raze with only addition of omen I am not considering other senti because he has played few game that too even in off season
