NA duelists

are NA duelists such as Shanks, Wardell, Asuna and Babybay good enough for Tier1 Valorant. I'd like to hear some opinions

asuna yeah but his jett isnt good. wardell has potential on chamber but not duelists

This is an odd example set, but out of these I'd say wardell, asuna and even possibly babybay have tier 1 skill, shanks still needs some work on consistency but at his best can definitely compete with top duelists

Shanks is too inconsistent, Wardell can only OP which makes his team's playstyle limited, Asuna getting more comfortable on Jett + OP'ing would make him better. Asuna's Raze is already very good. babybay idk anything about

only asuna

shanks - kinda inconsistent. can pop off though.
wardell - better on chamber
asuna - insane reyna. needs some work on jett.
babybay - i havent seen much from faze so idk

Yeah, these are just the first few "big names" that popped in my head.

Ranking them on jett

1. Wardell (only cause pro op, else asuna could be tied or better)
2. Asuna
3. babybay
4. shanks

Shanks and Babybay inconsistent as fuck, Asuna is good and Wardell is a sentinel

shanks and babybay are the same level of inconsistent. asuna jett isnt in the level of saya, leaf but maybe he can touch d3ffo with d3ffo in this mid. wardell hasnt shown anything in t1 ever so hard to say.

asuna and wardell yes
shanks and babyj nope

looklook [#11]

asuna and wardell yes
shanks and babyj nope

Damn babyj plays duelist?

asuna if hes not on jett
wardell when teams arent used to his op
babybay when hes feelin it
shanks once un a blue moon

these times are when these players are tier 1

Asuna is the only one here I'd really trust. I think his ideal role is similar to Xeppaa or Zellsis or Victor where he's playing the Raze on maps where they don't run Jett but then also flexing to Kayo or whatever initiator is in meta when they do run Jett.

a-s tier duelist

1. Babybay

yeah, true on the babybay thing, wardell definitely has the mechanical skill to compete at the top but yeah, he definitely doesn't have the results to back that up

I don't like Shanks that much, not for going to represent his region. Wardell is better on Chamber than duelists, but can consider him on tier 1, Asuna and Babybay have huge firepower

asuna and babybay are the duelist that i consider as good enough for tier 1, but babybay is a bit inconsistent and struggling against top teams, maybe bcs his teammates is not good enough.
wardell definitely is an insane oper but as a duelist, he is not aggresive enough and can't entry the site.
shanks idk never watched him.

Asuna op is donkey ballz otherwise S tier
