So can we stop saying that Zekken is the best itw

It’s been the same narrative since 2022 with this guy, as I said before, let him prove to everyone that he’s actually the best instead of jumping the ship the second he starts to look good, it’s insulting for him and the ones deserving of it.

So far I really don’t think you can make an argument for him to be better than Less, N4RRATE, Meteor, etc. I still strongly believe that he also hasn’t proven much yet to be the best duelist in Americas over Aspas and Demon1.

To clarify, this isn’t a hate post, and I do wish that he’ll actually be the best some day, but again we’re blowing things out of proportion with him for no reason. Hopefully when the season ends he’ll prove to everyone that he’s deserving of it himself instead of everyone desperately waiting for him to put on a crown that already has him name on it.

Agreed Demon1 and aspas are still ahead

1 tourney with a mickey mouse format doesn't change that

I know you probably have some Demon1 bias given your history but I'm being genuinely honest here, Zekken has way too many people that are only fans of his potential and not for who he is a player, and that's just fake as fuck. It's all they care about when it comes to that guy.

No bias Demon1 is 100% better than zekken from what I've seen from him this tournament

Demon1 wouldn't play like this

Its true though

He can't even play jett properly - https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1921/champions-tour-2024-masters-madrid?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=jett

He might be a Raze one trick

Fairs but I think his jett is fine he just needs more practice with it, since it’s a raze meta mostly I don’t think he has the reps on it

He had 127 rounds at kickoff

Surely that is enough no?

How much more time does he need before people accept that he is not as good on jett

Even in the past when he has played jett it hasn't been great

Its not like he is playing it for the first time this year

He played it quite often for SEN l ast year

It's honestly just down to how sens map pool is performing right now.

They are having more success on the likes of split/lotus/sunset which are raze dominated maps.
I don't think you can pinpoint zekkens' raze being the make or break on whether sentinels will win or not.

maybe one of the reasons is because zekken is a bad jett player

Most of the maps are raze maps

Icebox, breeze and ascent (historically speaking) are jett dominated.
It's still a sizeable chunk.
