Head-to-head
Past Matches
Impressions on the first map (from someone focused on LEV):
C9 kind of surprised LEV with the aggressive Neon and LEV granted many first deaths (I couldn't see the kills, typical prefires I guess). This made the defense very difficult. In attack, LEV started great, but Kingg made a big mistake pushing a smoke against an eco. On top of the anti-ecos approach (which I think is not the best on this map), I believe LEV calls are sometimes too slow or bad. For example, when Taco obtained a first kill against Leaf on A, the team waited on A main until 40-50 seconds (C9 had the information). Then, they silently rotated to C but Runi used its utility when he hear them. LEV immediately rotated to B with 15 seconds left. I don't know, but it seems obvious that with the man advantage, you have to trust your execution, play refrags, and all of that. If you rotate to B making noise, C9 has a higher chance of holding you because they are closer to B than to C.
What's my conclusion?
- C9 is a great team (top 3 for sure) and leaf is goated right now (top 3 in Americas).
- LEV's playstyle may hold them down sometimes. Sometimes they are too aggressive on defense to obtain information even when they are on an agent different than Jett/Chamber (teams can exploit this by looking for early kills). Other times the attack is too slow. fns read them a lot in 2022 (even though I wasn't aware of these observations at that time, maybe it has relationship).
Honestly they are not good either just valorant viewers don't know any better - pansy doesn't play the game and has very little knowledge, hypoc just agrees with everything she says to not cause a stir. Bren is good but sideshow doesn't understand at which times to be less vocal and just let the gameplay bring the hype.
I would say riv who casted back in 1.6 and vansilli have the best understanding of how to let a game flow but they don't get much air time.
