same vibes as aspas in this champs
1.29 rating with XSET (5-6th)
bro was the best player in the tournament (statistically)
crazy how at 100T he hasn't been the superstar he seemed to be back then
still one of the best in americas
(i was looking at stats and remembered that)
(also to say, his IGL was dephh)
crazy how at 100T he hasn't been the superstar he seemed to be back then
you sure abt that?
He has consistently been a top 3 player in Americas for 2 years in a row now, he has just had a shit team and the meta doesn't fit him too well
i mean i'm talking about a guy that was literally the best player in an international tournament in his first tournament
he seemed to be the new TenZ/yay
stills a crazy player
but in that time he was expected to be better than Alfajer
if you swapped teams im sure cryo could do what alfa's done
(absolutely not cope i swear)
yeah that's why i said 100T
i also think is their fault
he had a better team in XSET than 100T
Asuna <<< Zekken
eeiu > BCJ
Zander/Bang >>> Ayrin
Boostio > dephhh
Cryo just didnt have the perfect meta for his terrible agent pool
BcJ in 2022 was better than eeiu in 2025
and dephh at XSET>>Boostio at 100T
also you missed some <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< between zekken and asuna
they've got a very different playstyle so the comparison is kinda pointless but I agree. The guy is an absolute beast who has barely ever had a bad event, and is always the best player in the server no matter who he faces despite being on a weird ass team
maybe if Cryo learned a proper role and 100T didnt need to play weird comps to fit his agent pool then they would have been more successful
they literally received him at his prime with this roster:
stellar, bang, Derrek, Asuna
this team made champs with WillFPS btw, so idk what you are trying to say about them
playing against South American plumbers while 100T 3-0d the Guard and Faze clan with the devil of ascent
in that moment valyn and trent were just 2 randoms with future
now they're one of the best players in the world
but 2022 they were just promises
in fact NIP had more 2021 internationals than The Guard
hes a generational talent mechanically but needs to figure out what the hell he wants to do cause he cant keep this weird role thingy for another year
this is what I tell ppl all the time, he would be a great player if he went the leaf/meteor/yay/demon1 route but he has all the roles built around him on 100T for his weird agent pool and they can never play the meta comps because of it
You think he wouldn't go the leaf/meteor route if he could? Leaf was an entry at C9 and meteor was also an entry. Can't be good at the game when all you do is bait.
I think he might be able to with a better coach than Zikz, but if the new coach decides that he isnt worth it then im fine seeing Cryo walk
idk how a coach would enable Cryo to play sentinel better other than him getting many reps in practice when it is a completely different playstyle than what he is used to.
Some coaches know how to make their players evolve and learn new stuff and reinvent themselves (best exemple is pbb potter or kaplan), some are great at making strats, comps,gameplan etc... but not so good at the individual stuff
teaching him Sentinel macro, having a solid gameplan with practiced retakes and postplant (100T have been terrible at these since sgares left), getting reps in.
You remember when 100T had sean gares and he just got more out of his players than other coaches? thats what happens when you have an FPS genius rather than a LoL dork as your coach
He hasn't been the superstar he once was because of Chamber meta 💀 chamber meta made dicey and yay look decent at the game. Chamber merchants
"yay look decent at the game"
that some disrespect to a player that dominated in every aspect and was the best player in the world by far
also being the best statistically before chamber (BERLIN 2021)
Fell off hard after chamber meta. We should also players like cNed and Suygetsu and Ardiss the goats too
Why tf is suy in the same convo as ardiis and cned lol. He never fell off, and has always been one of the best players in his region /the world. Only pb is the team that was around him. Also no shit yay fell off after chamber, c9 couldn't afford him, he got put into whatever the fuck was going on at DSG and went into the utter madness of bleed. He showed this year that he still has it, maybe not to the same level, but he definitely still has it
