Feel like he is a lil underrated
Have you already seen his miraculous clutch last year at NIP? This was on VCT BR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-uEPM6346o
I don't necessarily think so. He performs pretty well fragging-wise, but he's not necessarily in contention for the best initiator in the world. Don't get me wrong - he sets Aspas up fantastically, but he doesn't get the same level of map control/nformation that someone like Leo, C0M, or crashies do.
Perhaps that's because he's on Skye the vast majority of the time, but even look at his APR compared to those 3 - he's underneath all 3 of them when it comes to assists, which is pretty crucial when you're the main init on a team
The thing about cauanzin is that his potential is just insane. Saad and other players see him as someone who is going to be an insane player. See #10 as an example of one of his insane plays. That is not luck, that's raw skill that needs to be polished.
My point though, is that it doesn't really matter how much potential you have if you don't perform. There are thousands of players around there with much potential, but what matters is whether you perform or not.
So, I do think cauanzin is underrated internationally, but I think he is overrated by my Brazilian brothers who look at him and see his potential and forget about performance itself.
Well said. I think he has the potential to be the best Skye in the world - his playstyle fits her perfectly. Sova and Breach? Not sure, but in terms of potential, yes, with how skilled he is, he has immense potential. I think with frod and saadhak helping him learn and grow, it's likely we'll see him be even more insane within the next 6 months.
