"flex" players

#1

n1cf

a valorant team consists of
Duelist
Controller
Sentinel
Flash Initiator
Recon Initiator

most of the "flex" players are only flash initiator players, real flex players are players like wo0t, f0rsaken, sayf who can play at least 3 roles perfectly

so stop calling players like ethan a flex, they only play flash bro

Ethan is the bigget fraud flex player. Blud can only play 4 agents (skye/breach/kayo/yoru) and he doesnt play yoru like a duelist he plays him like a flash initator

Also

HOW TF YOU MAKE THIS THREAD WITHOUT NAMING MY GOAT RB THE KING OF FLEX??????
Rb plays almost every agent, and he does it while being the best itw on those agents
Hes played:
Jett/Raze/Neon/Yoru/Kayo/Sova/Fade/Gekko/Kj/Cypher/Chamber/Sage/Astra/Harbor/Skye/Viper/Omen/Breach/Brim

Ethan has also played a shit ton of omen but i think ethan should be classified as an initiator more

On the EG 2023 Roster i have always classified ethan as an initiator and c0m as the flex (he flexed sova/viper)

Duelist, flash initiator, and barrier sentinel. That's three roles, right? Especially considering he was solo duelist when he was on Yoru

He might not be a good flex player but he CAN flex is my point. If you're making a comp then you have someone who CAN fill that role if they need to

ethan needs to learn like either sova/fade/gekko or omen or more duelists like pnix or sentinels like vyse
personally if his agent pool becomes breach/kayo/skye/gekko/yoru/phoenix/omen/vyse no one can say shit

#19

yeah but he hasn't played omen recently
betweens s0m in stage 2 and marved before
sage is a useless bum agent that needs at least a heal buff
so its still breach skye kayo yoru
he needs to improve his omen for s0m to astra and he has to learn vyse and phoenix as gimmicks and gekko as a solid 2nd initiator

a valorant team consists of

Duelist
Controller
Vision (Recon Initiator)

then it kinda var depending of your gamestyle

Sentinel (That Usually can play Vip)
Scrambler (Flash Initiator + 2nd Controller)

All the collect of my data try to define the role and I have kinda intresting result

I agree flex player is a myth

A real flex have to know how to play 3 roles imo. Controller, initiator and Sentinel. Most comp is two initiators, two controllers or two sentinels. Mazino is a true flex, he can do all 3. Some people call Demon1 a flex. He is a mediocre controller and average duelist. He needs to pike a role and master

Sayf(Duelist/Sentinel/Recon)
f0rsaken(Duelist/Sentinel/Recon/Flash)

For me duelist isn't a role for a flex. Two duelist i can see work only in Split (raze and jett). If your main duelist can't play with Raze, Jett or Neon, he isn't a real duelist.

I’d consider most consistent 2-role players as flex. Playing three different roles on a stable roster usually means that your teammates have small agent pools.

Players that qualify as Flex:
Chronicle
JonahP
Zellsis
Munchkin
Wo0t
Forsaken
Mazino
d4v4i
Saadhak

Forsaken might be the only player to play all agents at a high level

He practically pioneered harbor at the T1 level. He doesn’t play Dome smokes though since Mindfreak covers that role. Maybe that’ll change with the Astra buffs where teams might start running both Omen and Astra?

they played him on Astra and Mindfreak on Omen in 2023 on Lotus. Not sure how many games, but I'm pretty sure they did it for the entirety of champs.

there are different levels of flexibility. ethan is still a flex player, even if its only four agents.
