He has the same skill level as Zekken, if not for the fact that he has a shitty team that prevents his full potential to do so.
Cryocells Not so hot take

different types of players. while both insane, they serve different strengths to a team
cryo is like tenz and demon1. those players work well with others like zekken and jawgemo. you can’t really compare their impact. i would want both on my team lol
I feel like Cryo is too inconsistent to say that he can be one of the best players in the world, some times he looks like the best player in the server and other times he could be bot fragging while being the win condition for the 100thieves team

Lock in stats don't make sense bc of the number of people who played great for just 2 maps, but he played well.

Everyone has bad games from time to time but Cryo is definitely one of the absolute most consistent player in NA history
Nahh I don’t think so. For aiming I can agree maybe he might even be better than Zekken at that but Macro wise zekken is better and this game is not just about aiming.
mechanically yes, but the rest zekken clears. you cant clear zekken with an agent pool of just jett and chamber
agree with gambzki cryo's agent pool is just jett/chamber, but mechanically I think cryo is one of the best players in the world
personally I feel like they should just be using him like prime aspas and just putting him on jett every map since most times it does work, but maybe I am insane
It would work if we were in 2023. In current state of the game Yoru is the best duelist and even Mibr struggled with aspas’s agent pool because he couldn’t play Yoru, even Artzin look uncomfortable at times on Yoru and you saw the struggles for the team.
we are in 2025 and many teams play yoru as secondary duelist almost like an initiator, I think there is a good chance they could run cryo on jett with another player who can play yoru that isn't horrible (kicking asuna)
yoru is not needed and the only reason people run it (specifically now) is because they're scared to innovate because it's americas and we are all "meta slaves" and cant think for ourselves especially with a shitter for a coach named zikz who puts cryo on yoru instead of letting him awp on chamber and jett when its very much runnable on every map
You're a moron if you think you can run chamber/jett every map and make it work. And just kick Cryo at that point if he can only play 2 off meta agents. Sacrificing all of your comps for someone with such a shit agent pool is idiotic.
corrode - chamber - 100t runs it
ascent - chamber - g2 runs it
icebox - jett - meta
abyss - jett - meta
bind - his yoru is good here - meta
lotus - chamber - off meta
sunset - chamber - g2 runs it
haven - his yoru is good here - meta
you are a moron if you don't think before you speak
I, as a zekken (adderall variant) disagree. I clear him overall, in rifling, agent pool, trophies, ranked leaderboard, overall game sense, paycheck etc.
Maybe I lose in operator battle.
I think when old man Zellsis retire Sen pick up cryo and win everything. The roles arent perfect but hell they arent on 100T either
Ya let's replace the init flex vibes guy for a person who can play like 3 agents lmao.
reminder that he threw the game yesterday with eeiu. zekken would never do this shit lmfao
