Hot take

MIBR needs to choose between Zekken and Aspas

Zekken is a great smokes player, but you already have Mazino

Zekken can play good scans...but you have verno

Yes double duelist is meta, but Zekken is a good entry on his own

I think MIBR should drop Aspas for a flex player who can also play duelist, put mazino on perma smokes, Maybe drop tex for a better senti but that might be optional if he turns up out of nowhere...I doubt it but maybe.

Aspas is good
Zekken is good
but it's like trying to put two puzzle pieces that fit the same slot in two different slots, every piecefits perfectly but Zekken's role (even though he's filling his role well.)

MIBR is great on paper, but they feel too rigid. If you have a player that can both go duelist and initiator then your comps become more flexible.

Your takes are so weird, idk how u spent 2 lines pointing out how Zekken shouldn't be smokes/scan, then say "double duelist is meta" and then come away with the conclusion that Aspas should be dropped and dropping Tex is optional 😭

Like your takes are not ass, but they're just off, like ur tryna larp being an analyst or be different. I still remember that "100T should've kept Kess" thread lmao

im a baitpas hater but ur analysis seems to suggest that kicking mazino is what should happen so that zekken can play smokes given that aspas > mazino

Valorant is a gun game first and agent and abilities second.

They play the game like that order is reversed. Every article in the dev diaries sets out the design philosophy. MIBR's coaching staff spends too much time in valoplant and trying to find consistency in anywhere but in-game knowledge.

Zekken is a great smokes player

Did we watch the same zekken play smokes? Like you can clearly see he's incredibly uncomfortable on the role and doesn't really perform all that great on it. Like he's best as duelist and can play initiator to a pretty high level, but there is no reason to have zekken on anything other than duelist.

the real answer for mibr is so easy theres no need to overcomplicate it

-tex, and steal another senti player like less if possible

less would genuinely save this team
