Ethan about Less

#1

Asto3

i went to watch a recorded stream from a brazilian streamer who’s in chile, and after the game nrg against bbl in an interview with ethan they asked him the following question:

which player was the hardest for you to play against?

and he said: ''less in 2023. i told my teammates back in eg that i simply couldn’t hit a shot on him (less). he understood movement and aim 3 years ahead of what it is today.''

holy aura, i didn’t watch competitive val in 2023 but less must’ve been insane in his prime.

he usually had 1 bad game and 2 insane games per bo3 but thats more the nature of the sentinel role rather than him being inconsistent

this is literally another level of aura, holy shit

i think the only sentinel player who has an equivalent aura historically speaking is alfajer in his prime

He's still insane but he's been stuck on shitter teams for 2 years and now he's stuck in Brazil because of their visa agency. At least he will be able to play in S1 (normally) not that I want KRU to succeed but it's always nice to watch great players

honestly, i have high expectations for less this year in 2026.

there’s no player in the world with his style, he’s very unique. i’m hoping kru does well in stage 1 (they should, honestly, they did two bootcamps and will have been playing together for 6 months by the time stage 1 starts).

if you watch the eg vs loud comms from tokyo there's a 2v1 vs him on fracture and someone says "don't peek, it's less". My goats were scared of that man

interesting that Ethan says that:

Ethan vs Less (Ethan +0 against Less): https://www.vlr.gg/220444/loud-vs-evil-geniuses-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-ubqf/?game=all&tab=performance
Ethan vs Less (Ethan -4 against Less): https://www.vlr.gg/248283/evil-geniuses-vs-loud-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-lbf/?game=all&tab=performance

he said at first he could never hit him so he started putting in extra hours of mechanical training in order to learn how to hit him so i assume he meant in scrims

2024 kickoff less was individually the best player in the world

wasn’t 2024 literally the year of loud’s downfall?

it was, they were somewhat decent during kickoff and madrid, largely because less was jesus and could not be stopped

You don't get how badly I wanted him to stay on Vitality
Just imagine the roster of Derke, Chronicle, Less, Jamppi and Sayonara

I really don't understand why VIT didn't want to keep him. Like I heard Less was down to stay another year but for some reason VIT's management were not about it.

he wanted to stay, according to the interviews he gave. vitality letting less go is absurd, only he and derke were able to play well on that team.

in the matches i watched from vitality in 2025 he didn’t play badly, he was the best on the team along with derke, it’s just that since 2024 he’s been on bad teams

i didn’t get to see aspas and less play together, i started watching during the aspas and tex era and that pisses me off.

i’m as excited to see kru play in stage 1 as i am to see mibr play.

i think that feeling happens because besides him not playing kickoff, the last international he played was bangkok, what a shame
