APAC duelists | VLR.gg

Akukko

Kadoom: I've been watching Kadoom for 2+ years now, and he's cursed with Thailand 2nd place. This cutie patootie is putting up crazy FK/FD stats and some tome absolutely hard carrying his team. I know for a fact he deserves better. Sad that theres only 1 Thai representative in VCT PACIFIC and too many cracked duelists. Idk if he knows english but he deserves a shot in a franchised team.
JohnOlsen: I stumbled upon his stream on twitch a bit before they won the 2021 LCQ and made it to Champs. Due to FS being pretty much of an unknown team I was fanboying for them at champs. Sad that they had to play with a sub and the team kinda fell off after it. Now he's on a great run with FS in VCT Thailand looking like a strong Ascension contender
SyouTa: I haven't been watching the Japanese scene for that long, but thus far I have seen enough from this kid. He has convinced me that hes one of those Japanese human-machines absolutely carrying in all the matches he plays. It's cool how in the Japanese streams they show all the voicecomms during the post-map highlights, SyouTa seems like a really hype teammate Definitely deserves a spot on either of the Japanese franchising representatives. With dep being able to play initiator I think SyouTa would be the perfect addition to ZETA DIVISION
Ray4c: Nothing much to say about him, I think everyone knows him as that crazy tiktok raze. Currently he's farming the indonesian split with Alter Ego. I think when you need a new Jinggg, he's the one to call. I love monyet and he was my fav player in ONIC (I was always rooting for them), but Paper Rex please poach Ray4c. Monyet can replace mindfreak

Please list other players aswell i'm too lazy!!!!

I didn't have any confirmed information before, but I was suspecting this was the case. TLN got Surf instead, who also is a cracked Thai duelist.
Thank you for the information!

is indos always this stupid ? i see nowadays a lot of indog like u yapping so much, judge people based on one match and you don't know is there is a problem behind it ?

no wonder indos who are great in various fields prefer to have a career abroad, because their people can't appreciate it their hard work, i swear indonesian are the worst people on the internet

ray4c is a one trick raze that mostly uses the judge, he really isn’t that much of a flexible player when it comes to roles either. Regarding his entrying ability as raze, better teams can find ways to shut him down really quickly, as seen in AE vs ARF, where ray4c got embarrassed with 0-16. so i don’t really think he’ll be a good replacement to either monyet or jinggg anytime soon

I think he has that bit of "crazy" to fill the shoes of Jinggg. Yes he's a onetrick raze. No he's not like ZETA TENNNN. I think when one has so much tech and skill on Raze, they for sure deserve to be able to play Raze on every map and to have the team comps play around his skills (atleast in T2)

but
itd be awesome
he fits their playstyle
and its not that hard to flex into slightlly different roles like phoenix or sage
and even after they got monyet for flexibility they still run raze on like half their maps

Might soon be too late for JohnOlsen, considering players like Aspas, TenZ and Derke are 20-22. Hope he gets to reach his peak potential before retiring
As for Kadoom he sure is a wonderkid with a huge potential in front of him. I'm not a 100% sure but MITH might be keeping him in contract jail, but on the good side he at least has some time to still grow as a player before the grand stage.

Just my opinion, I think he got that bit of loco loco in his playstyle to fit for Paper Rex. Obviously he wont shine the brightest if the rest of his team has another style

in terms of playstyle, yes ray4c is quite aggresive. but even monyet is still miles better than ray4c imo. put monyet in this AE roster rn he'll farm everyone

Oh forsure forsureeeee
I forgot to mention, I probably didnt list him bc i was think abt "underrated" and mostly T2 players.
Stew was doing so good in Chinese ascension, but during Kickoff his team was looking a bit Iffy. He could be a good new signing for a team like DRX if JDG ends up flopping horribly

WOW. JUST WOW. His K/D is absolutely insane
Got me thinking if some of his stats from the Open quals tho. Still absolutely shitting on everyone. He might be a new star if he keeps putting up stats like these throughout the whole season

A new player for me
I see he has also played Astra and KJ, so i assume he probably has a bit more disciplined/passive playstyle, like Cryocells or Buzz?

Even Jemkin went 0/14 and got signed to franchising afterwards

ray4c doesn't look like a good "team-player", his team need to be built around him if he wants to shine, basically he's aspas without the insane aim part

https://x.com/TALON_VALORANT/status/1763489368407199951?s=20 In this tweet Surf revealed that he couldnt play due to Visa issues, I hope we will see him on the starting roster, I saw him streaming ranked today on twitch and he was playing sentinel. Potentially maybe replacing Jitboys?

i dont think ray4c can fill jingg's shoes. we all know his crazy judge play but we never really saw great rifling. on defense, he is kinda useless once the attacker found where he is (as we can see in today's match against boom on Bind). jingg is known as an aggressive yet consistent fragger. and replacing mindfreak for monyet's smoker? removing prx's backbone is literally the worst thing alekcs can do to for prx. mindfreak and davai are literally the 2 players needed for the other 3 aggressive player to play their game.

You have a point.
In todays game (AE vs BOOM), I saw a poor performance from Ray4c, He was playing so much judge and still dying and basically being a useless body. His negative entries 9% headshot rate didn't impress anyone today. I Had a vision for him, but so far it's not going how i thought.

I don't really follow the Pinoy scene, but holy shit his Reyna and chamber KD are both fucking ridiculous. NAOS apparently is the most likely team to make it to ascension from the philippines?

wdym oasis, they're lacking so much in firepower. the only one i can see firing back in that team is xavi8k and the rest are bots
However I think OSC and ZOL esports have a chance to beat naos

that's more because of a lack of practice rather than the individual players themselves because Dubstep just recently joined the team. Last year Oasis with Xavi8k, wildOreo and markkyyy were great aimers.
