koromast [#2]honestly it doesnt make sense to put him on astra with munchkin and karon on your team
I agree but its not the agent, its the player

It's not about him playing astra, he is whiffing everything

i think its abit diff from his usual senti cz he needs to use his stars more so maybe thats why hes not comfortable

his aim was shit at the end of the map cuz he already lost his confidence because of dying on weird positions on astra simply because he doesnt know how to get kills with that agent and was on a shit kd by the half of the map and that shut him down, it doesnt help much that drx is the one shitting on him too given that they are all better individually and its harder to win 1vs1´s against them to recover his mental

its so easy to whiff when you are focused on util on an agent you have no experience in

Look at second last round if I'm not mistaken when he's ulting

okay a few thing, i love foxy9, but why are you just assuming he never practiced as an astra before.

Fair point but I think it has to do with his confidence overall, since there was instances where he whiffed on a player with util out. Nonetheless He will bounce back on ascent and I hope he proves me correct.

he cant assume he has never practiced but he definitely hasnt practiced enough to be a tier 1 astra on his first competitive astra map ever, specially because being good on an agent on pro play and being good on scrims isnt the same thing

tbf, astra is a hard agent if you only use them once or twice. That's why most secondary controllers only play viper or omen. So it's normal for a player to lose confidence in a off role especially a hard agent like astra and neon. Besides the reason to pick up foxy9 is because he did well in a sentinel role and he can also play duelist if they ever needed a double dive comp which used to be meteor role. So I don't know why they even put foxy9 in smokes.

This is his first time playing Astra against the top-level teams and he only ever played Astra in ranked 15 times/ 8 hours of gameplay total for the past 4+ years of val. So how can you expect him to master them in a short amount of time while also practising other agent. Remember he only got signed a month ago, and chances are geng started practicing this comp recently since previously they put him on cypher rather than astra.

im definitely not saying he should be a master at astra, or even good at it yet, but isn’t this a little too bad?

His agent pool consists mostly of fast execs or flank agents. While Astra can flank, he never really plays a conventional smoke role. So, he is basically forced to learn new stuff to accommodate Astra. For a new player like him, I'll take time since he needs to understand the timing, which takes away from his aim and overall awareness. Besides even in ranked the only smoke he played more than 20 hours total is omen and viper which is basically a sentinel and a fast execs agent. So this is really new for him
