After today’s grand final match, I don’t ever wanna see Asspas’ name in any “greatest duelist” or “GOAT” discussion ever again. His peak isn’t even nowhere near KK’s peak.
KK made Aspas look like a bullied kid, crying to his mama.
i’d say 50/100 for kk. But the special thing about kk, is that it’s his unselfish playstyle that makes his consistency worse than aspas. kk will never shy away from a first engagement even if he’s dying first a lot. Since EDG are so good a trading he always gets value no matter what, kk just might be the perfect duelist
If the trade takes longer than 4 seconds then it doesn't count towards KAST iirc, notice how smoggy chichoo and s1mon are in the top 10 for KAST at the tournament, trades just take a while. When I say the rounds lost matter its because there are rounds where kangkang will go in, die and then the guy attempting to trade will die, it happens it's a part of the game but doesn't discredit how the team functionally plays together. EDG wouldn't have won the tournament if they were shit at trading, that much is clear.
The difference is consistency. Aspas is the goat because he is the most consistent player in the world and can drop 30 any map of any game. KK has a similar skill set but has very high highs and some of the lowest lows. In other words Aspas is so much more consistent that even at his lows it is better than KK average.
44 opening attempts from KK in 4 maps
22 opening attempts from Aspas in 4 maps
Both of these guys have entirely different styles, but KK's style is higher risk. He'll enter even with utility or his team to support him, but now that his team was finally cohesive we saw what he was fully capable of. Aspas is THE consistent player regionally. You can't shit on him. He's an excellent player, but it is frustrating to see him last alive for his team so often lmao.
