Where does kaajak rank among emea duelists
Where does he rank in all duelists in every region
xeus i might agree with but lewn so far is so feast or famine, he wins the round and loses it 5 seconds after. but Derke performance up to the fnatic game cannot be understated either. i think that game might have rocked vitalitys mental.
its like 2023 fnatic after Loud exposed their lotus to the world, they werent the same for a long time.
also you never know how much chem there was between trexx and derke so that might have changed a fair amount aswell
Ara looked really good but it would be disrespectful to put him much higher after one single game. However he could climb up really fast with more good games.
Currently there is a bit of a gap after 7th place. The top 7 seem really strong. The other still have more to prove or have some issues.
id say koalanoob->flor in terms of personal performance, both have had good performances on non functioning teams tho but thats just my opinion.
also lewn high ceiling but horrible decisionmaking which literally loses his team rounds, so i feel like he should be lower even tho his ceiling is NUTS.
overall decent list tho. if miniboo plays the same today id say miniboo->xeus. but again, personal opinion.
Lewn is very clearly 7th to me. Clearly worse than top 6 but also clearly better than the ones below him. He just needs time in T1 to learn discipline. I cant put him below guys like koala who cant entry with rifle.
Also Flors agent Pool seems problematic to me. Needs to learn yoru.
However flor entries better than koala. But ofc koala has the great OP as a plus.
u got a point. i dont think flor even neeeds to learn yoru imo, batu looks very good on yoru but uncomfy on alot of other agents.
i think flor has the maturity to flex more than batu ATM
OR just play double duelist.
in terms of kajaak tho, if he gets an OP he looks like a top 3 EMEA, might be Bias tho but kids insane with the OP
Sure. But his rifle needs to improve. I know he can do it due to his T2 time but he needs to show it on T1.
So far Marteen has been absolutely incredible. He would be my stage 1 #1. I have him lower due to respect for Derke and his weakness late last year.
Also Miniboo played a perfect stage so far. Cannot put him below kaajak.
So it has to be 5th for now
yea id argue miniboo for 1/2 with marteen on current form. im not arguing kajaak higher im just saying he might even be top 1 with OP specifically
But yea saying anything else than derke nr.1 would be dishonest af. guys been top 5 ITW for 3+ years IMO
just to add on koalanoob, he has the highest FKPR in EMEA, thats why i value him over flor atm. NAVI just dont capitalize of it nearly enaugh
honestly depends if he has an OP in his hands or not. probably top 2 with OP so far, world probably somewhere in top 10.
his rifling is abit worse but id say that more bad moments than him in general.
what i am incredibly impressed about is the way and how fast he turned it around from a rough start and didnt let it affect him with being derke replacement and all the comparisons that came with derke absolutely wrecking everyone at the start.
I'm not saying thats on Derke, i'm saying that being under 1 KD (0.91) make me think I cant put top 1 anymore, he's got same KD as Avova's... Even flor have 1.06.
I'm not saying he is not a good duelist, or he wont be the best duelist at the end of the year, I'm saying that putting top 1 a duelist that currently in a crisis sounds exaggerated. (You can even put him top 3 if you want)
id say its different from one player to the next IMO. Derke in my opinion has been a top5 duelist ITW for 3 years and has delivered to that level this year and even looked better at times.
so U KNOW what quality is in him and how he delivers NORMALLY.
kajaak as an example, have not been tested yet, how does he react to dips in form, team chem going to shit ETC.
This is why i struggle so much with lewn personally cus that boy is like a bouncy ball. u know he has it in him but just "FUCKING FOCUS" yaknow?
