common knowledge
placements alone aren’t the only things that make a player good, you can tell simply by the way he plays that jawgemo is still a player that can hold his own against international opponents
also eg won champs literally only a year ago. hardly six months ago he was still considered one of the best players in the world but not suddenly he’s washed?
u guys are all coping out of ur asses now, jawg and demon1 aint world class players anymore. Its been a whole year now since they won champs and u guys need to realize that. Its 2024 now guys wakey wakey. Just cus they did it once doesnt mean they still at that skill ceiling as of this date. Potential sure is there, but without any real consistency its hard to agree here
Demon1 fell off pretty hard this year and jawg had a very mid year
where have people got the impression recently that jawgemo is the best NA duelist? is it because of that one hard carry?
he had a strong season most of the time but he also has pitfalls, can be completely missing in some games and he doesnt have a good jett, isnt a great op'er, is really only good on duelist (although he does have 2 great duelists which isnt that common)
on the other hand zekken is genuinely one of the best players in the world, super flexible even though he is (imo) the best NA duelist, seems super vocal, can play pretty much every duelist (people who say his jett is bad are spoiled by how good his other agents are, his jett is still good), insanely consistent and still has that same carry potential has jawgemo but just in more games more consistently
jawgemo is great ofc but people saying jawgemo > zekken watch valorant with their eyes closed
You guys are crazy or what? Zekken have only one problem was duelist: Operator. If he improves that, he will be like highest level duelist. The best serie i have seem from him, was against the Gen.g. Was the first time i see him doing great with OP, and he was one the mainly reason, to Sentinels wins that final.
Because jawgemo is a tier S player at his best lol what’s hard to understand? He’s been really inconsistent this year but he is a lot like derke, struggle at the beginning but really go insane during the second half of the year. Sad he choked vs 100T which is a result of inconsistency but he is still a great guy. EG winning champs 2023 was one of the best and coolest things to happen don’t kid yourself lol. By your logic would you agree that pancada was a S tier player in 2023?
"At his best he is tier S" The game doesn't work like that. We need to see what he is doing rn. Yay at his best, he is the best valorant player, would you risk put him in your team?
Why someone would change a guy who is proven good two year in a row(Zekken), for a guy who played one tournament well(jawgemo)? This make literally zero sense. Jawgemo did nothing special this year, sure, his team wasn't the best and this make you performance decrease, but we saw guys like Oxy, with a bad team too, but better performance than Jawgemo.
By my logic you can't say someone is good because 1 title, 1 tournament or whoever, we need to judge his performance as a player. just that.
No, i do not think he is a S tier player in 2023 or 2024. He had a great 2022, but join sentinels was the worst thing to him. Didn't speak english well, play only as controller and the staff put him as senti... like wtf you doing to you career. And besided all of that, the worst thing to him was be the six player. Now i think he is overrated. Tuyz worth the same as him.
