Weird question

Chichoo is generally edgs best player internationally
Smoggy as well is comparably to KK at times internationally

How come KK is so dominant regionally (like perma top frag) but seems to fall off a bit internationally?
Maybe my goat chichoo just doesn’t try in China

duelists dont get fair fights kangkang when he plays against a good team actually gets traded out but instead he makes more space and usual gets one. chichoo is a senti he plays at the back so good aim means free kills as he can trade same as smoggy

Ah yeah I can see that
I was maybe wondering if their was a difference in the way edg sets him up regionally vs internationally, considering this ain’t something you usually see from other star duelists

Chichoo is a big game player
You can't ask him to lock in for a regular season game vs DRG at Saturday

KK is just smurfing on them so he runs at everyone and pops them instantly, chichoo has a more reserved playstyle, but where did you see that KK tends to fall off internationally?

He doesn’t tend to fall off, but he’s not clearly the best players on his team like he is regionally
Chichoo is the better off the two internationally

KK just gets killed more bc he is a dueslist and he can't smurf at internationals so his stats decrease. Chichoo pbb doesn't care much abt regionals as well

That’s funny as fuck if that’s the reason why
Maybe playing worse competition favors aggressive players like you said, the way prx players are always top of the stats in regionals

yeah I think that's a good comparison, that's why PRX struggles now, back then they could just run at anyone and destroy them 70% of the time, but with APAC getting a lot of upgrades both mechanically and Macro wise, they can't just look like thanos anymore

Likely also the reason why more passive duelists like Aspas are so consistent

On the flip side though you have derke whose super aggressive and is great regionally and internationally, but he’s prolly also just better than kk

I think he means falls off in stats compared to regionally, which he normal does, even though he still plays amazing it just not like this

Yeah obviously because he’s facing stronger competition, I meant that he goes from being the best player on his team by a wide margin to the 2nd m/3rd best

duelists just shine more than anyone else when they face weak competition bc of the fact that they can take up to 3 duels per round, it doesn't work at internationals bc sometimes you'll get killed first

they are all pretty insane at fragging except for s1mon, even nobody can randomly drop 40, but they sort of just have random days where they feel like trolling idk

Chichoo once said that when a professional player doubts his choice in game, it is the beginning of his pain, but he never doubts the content of his game, and he attributes all single failures to a single decision, not a long-term failure. I know it sounds hard to understand, but I think it's a very courageous state of mind.
