as the vct clip connoisseur - that's probably one of the best 2v4's in VCT history yes but this one just beats RB out I think

no glaze considering I'm a devote DRX fan, but I still objectively think that Rb's spraydown in garage was better (at an analytical perspective)

clip 1 (TH RieNs 3k) was insane, can vouch; however, its your typical VCT superplay and can be paralleled with other spraydowns. special but not one of a kind. to add, when you look in 0.25x (or not), you can see that when he gets the kill on f0rsakeN (raze), mindfreak (viper) was busy trying to get a kill on site (wasn't looking at RieNs at all), and d4v4i (skye) wasn't able to trade despite his positioning due to being omen flashed. kill #2 was on mindfreak (who RieNs initial whiffed on and later had to resort to a f0rsakeN who practically ran into his crosshair, huge points docked), followed by a kill #3 on a d4v4i who nearsighted by Boo's (omen) paranoia moments prior.

clip 2 (GIA Fit1nho 4k) was slightly more impressive than clip 1-- but again, I still don't think it exceeds the difficulty/uniqueness of Rb's transfer. yes, a 4k spray is insane, but there are way too many asterisks that are present that invalidate his as a highly-skilled play. first, there is all the information he needs to know that he is being swarmed (including Haodong (astra) getting a 2k on rhyme (breach) and nukkye (cypher) on ropes up onwards and util + footsteps from ZmjjKK (raze) and Smoggy (jett) from CT to heaven alerting Fit1nho of everything he needs to know, and their exact positioning.) of course, this doesn't discount the fact that this was a MENTAL play, huge respect. slight aura loss (?) from the fact that he got killed by Haodong toward the end by a classic to deny the ace (which doesn't even account for how from Haodong's POV, you can see him whiff on the trade 2 or 3 times before managing the kill), as well as the fact that this wasn't necessarily a full spraydown, as from kill 1 to kill 2, the spray was reset, and the chaining kills 2, 3, and 4 have slight stoppage in spraying. (for technicality not a spraydown but its whatever, close enough)

clip 3 (mindfreak 4k) was impressive (true spray, except for kill 1), but I would heavily assume that without his whole team fighting on A rubble assisting those kills, mindfreak wouldn't have been able to spraydown those last three kills. in fact, I really want to commend Jinggg (raze) for standing his ground, buying time, and d4v4i (skye) for his util. add the fact that DRX was on a greatly broken buy (also consider that in mindfreak's LoS, only stax (fade) was staring at him, and he had a stinger and only light shields against mindfreak's vandal and full shields, which mindfreak body shot him with. though, kills 3 and 4 were definitely much more credible, with a double vandal spray headshot on Foxy9 (kj) and BeYN (omen). definitely trails behind maybe only his 1v3 tap hs on pearl towards A Link to A Site against a then overpowered EG. still, due to the circumstances he got those kills in, it definitively wouldn't beat Rb's spray.

in comparison, Rb had the least HP, had crashies (fade) AND victor (phx) hard holding the angle he peeked from (link to garage) WHILE holding a high-low hold. additionally, both were headshots, were legitimate spraydowns, plus the fact that the kill transfer speed was by far the fastest, almost instantaneous, which makes it necessarily an "one of a kind" type spray. admittedly, kills 3 and 4 were NOT part of the spray, and because FNS sold hard by not accounting for AA (angle adv.) LOL. still, my case holds, as Rb also took the first two kills' duels alone (with fade/Zest on the ready to trade), and a sheer COINCIDENCE that he was left with 1 HP, all the more dramatic.

holy yap, got carried away because I was excited to see all four of these clips again. made me appreciate the scene more. :)

I mean yes all of this is fair, and it’s cool to see someone taking the time and effort to actually analyze these four clips. I think that I chose the other clips mainly because the sprays just felt cleaner, for me a vandal spray down is way more valuable than a phantom one just because of actual difficulty to switch to 2-3 enemies mid-spray

Fit1hno’s clip to be fair isn’t really a full spray transfer rather than a bunch of really well timed shots, if he didn’t die to that classic it easily could’ve been top 3 VCT clips of all time

RieNs’ clip is cool but in the grand scheme of things it really wasn’t too impactful, they lost the map and were eliminated

Mindfreak’s spray was nice also because it was a vandal clip but yeah

I feel like FNS did kinda sell a little bit though, that’s my biggest problem with the Rb clip, ridiculous first 2 kills but yeah

Edit: we completely got sidetracked on spray transfers that I forgot this thread was about 2v4’s, I think suygetsu still > rb, the stakes were so high as well

partially expected just an "allat," so this was a pleasant surprise

yeah, FNS definitely sold, but I remember it being so tense when yay tried to wallbang Rb with his headhunter shots, its really what solidified Rb's clip.
