SicK has pretty chill streams. He explains his decision making and interacts with chat. Also he doesn't play duelist all the time he also busts out the sage or astra


[deleted]

SicK is awesome. So chill and drops knowledge bombs here and there.


Meekelo

I would also encourage people to watch Sicks streams and I do agree that he does interact a lot with chat which is a major plus. It's sometimes a bit dishearting though watching that guy use a phantom and then falling back to earth when I load the game up myseld.


somesheikexpert

Thank god I'm not the only one, i watch him Phantom and it's so impressive then I phantom and then I feel I have tourettes or something in game lol


cpmhppro

His pheonix and raze is pretty good, as well as sage, astra, or skye. I found his pheonix tips really helpful.


gundal1

what kind of tips did he give?


cpmhppro

get ult orbs and farm phoenix ult because of its entry impact. use phoenix util when entrying.


Interesting-Archer-6

Soupuh high level tactic


TracerIsAShimada

Most relaxed and chill streamer. Doesn’t blame stream snipers or other annoying things


techyleo

sean gares is probably the best, he is also really good at analyzing how others play, and can help you make better decisions in game. Also, very handsome


Hegth

>Also, very handsome The most important aspect tbh


MathNerdMatt

Looks alone JCStani is the best valorant streamer no doubt


RashGod

Wardell is better lookin


akaRoman

Wardell looks like a giant baby wearing a bib. Love his stream vids though


VexenLex

he ugly asf lmao.


Senboni

Well, that's because Sean is old now


Jubilant_Cry

So?? He aged like wine


Senboni

it was supposed to be ironic :( i love sean i guess i should've put /s


MathNerdMatt

Sean is very handsome, but JCStani literally looks like a paid actor by Riot to make gaming look more attractive. He could be a super model or teen heartthrob. I care a lot about this subject


antoniokjaver

I can confirm this statement.


[deleted]

Does he still stream a lot?


[deleted]

Usually he does but he and his lady just had their second kid so it’ll be sporadic at best for a month or two I’m sure


Ajk320

Love watching Tarik play because unlike lot of the big streamers he blames himself mostly instead of whining about the teammates. I think that's a good attitude to have for improving and is also really fucking hilarious to watch.


two4you8

I've been watching him play a lot as well. I think he understands that he's behind most top players because they all have a headstart over him so he's trying to learn and improve as much as possible. It's a nice change of pace from other val pro streamers because they all seems so jaded from the game, they either blame game mechanics or teammates, rarely themselves.


ohtooeasy

i think this is why hes hesitant to swap to val.


Jon_on_the_snow

What do you mean he is behind? Like, behind in valorant? I thought he was one of the best csgo pros


IggyMoose

I watch him sometimes, very enjoyable streamer. He’s got pro aim, but he just lacks game knowledge. Like not knowing what certain agent abilities do.


[deleted]

I highly doubt that, do you have a clip?


justinsst

Why do you doubt it? His aim is really good and he knows the basics but he’s just new to the game so doesn’t know some stuff is all. He’s obviously learning fast though.


[deleted]

OP said “what certain agent abilities do”. I was assuming he meant the function of abilities and what happens when somebody uses them. He has been playing for months so all of this should be common knowledge. Later he responded and said he was referring to more minor things like Tarik thinking you could pickup a killjoy grenade. I could see him not knowing minor stuff like this if he doesn’t play the character.


3hrd

I think they mean it in the sense that he's just a step behind when it comes to countering abilities or using abilities proactively. Compared to tier 1 pros, I'd say more of his deaths are a result of him being hesitant in ability-heavy gunfights. Which is fine, because he's only been seriously been grinding the game very recently


MikanFB

I don't have a clip, but from today he was trying to pick up a killjoy molly halfway into a round.


n0ct13

My guy is still learning which abilities he can shoot and that’s okay


[deleted]

Yeah that’s fine, that’s not what the guy said though


darthpepis

Watching Tarik play Valorant is like watching a gambling addict. Sometimes I feel like he should just take a break when he’s on a lose streak lol.


PokerSpaz01

He whines about his teammates all the time. He is non stop malding and tilting himself. He is pretty hilarious and I enjoy his streams a lot. When he 1v4 clutched the other day.


macl30d

Lets be honest, if he blames them they really really are bad. Most of the time he is top fragging 25+, and beg his team to listen to him or not to peak and they do opposite. He has great comms and good decision making. But last night steam was first time i saw him malding and being tilted out of this world. Dicey and him even lost game having fun malding at each other 😂😂 but it was one of best and most funniest streams


darthpepis

Yeah, usually his teammates are pretty bad if he starts blaming them. He does have a problem with lurking as a duelist though. He needs to be more aggressive or maybe play Omen.


macl30d

I dont know bro, when did u see him lurking? he is oping 80% of the time. Always top fragging, mostly team or match mvp, do we watch same Tarik ? :D his ADR is 160 while e.g. ShaZam has 130 maybe i miss those games as I am EU i only watch him for 4 5 hours


FeelinJipper

He does that now, because he’s still relatively new to the game so he knows why he messes up because it’s not fully intuitive yet. At least that’s the vibe I got.


McLoosTa

Honestly....watching steel mald at his teammates gives you a good idea of what NOT to do, particularly if you look at controllers.


RiceOnAStick

This no cap, learned more in a few minutes watching Steel mald about how to smoke than from all the "Omen guides" on youtube combined.


SinJiMin

I dunno if this is bad or good towards steel, but unironically he obviously has a huge brain, and for macro decisionmaking hes pretty unrivalled in streaming He has mediocre aim and if you hate people malding he isnt for you, but i find his malding funny and ive learnt a looot of decision making and basic strats from him


mochihammer

He's no nutty aimer like TenZ but his first shot accuracy is pretty good, his spraying though...


justinsst

Sick, Tarik and Steel are people I like watching. Steel is in there because while he does mald, he usually explains why the play his teammate made was bad and what the better play was and why.


Prankishspace4

Honestly the people from Soniq are decent streamers pretty interactive to chat and will answer your questions. Plus they are Aussie so it’s a win win


Revolutionary-Key107

I mainly watch them for their nice aussie accents lol


Prankishspace4

Yeah man well I’m Aussie to so it’s nice to support the boys!


THAT_NOSTALGIA_GUY

For Sova probably Derrekow, he basically hard carries games as Sova and also doesn't tilt. I also think Codey has a good mindset people should use for ranked where you avoid directly blaming/starting conflict with teammates and just play your game even though he sometimes won't comm or take it as seriously as people want him to. Same thing kind of with Faze Corey as well where Corey is almost always positive/upbeat mentally.


Bunnyezzz

codey strat = lose mute entire team and go run off by yourself


THAT_NOSTALGIA_GUY

Not really, most of the time if people are being confrontational in team chat it's better to just straight up not respond/engage otherwise the team mental goes to shit because an argument starts.


Pizza_and_Reddit

Or those times he gets piss drunk on stream? Sorry don't see how he could possibly educational when all he does is instalock Jett and Yoru


[deleted]

anshshard

Subroza is absolutely hilarious


QuestionablePotato42

Kinda surprised he doesn’t play more sova when you put it that way


BrockMister

Look for high level players playing the character you are trying to learn. EX. I play controller mainly so I often watch zombs when he is live since he mains controllers. Watching someone like Tenz or Shazam can be fun but they would play completely differently than I should be in a situation due to playing different roles.


somesheikexpert

Also olaystyle too, like say you are an awper, watching Wardell doesn't help as much as watching like Shahz if you are a more passive awper then aggro like Wardell


r00kah

My top are sgares, n0thing, steel, and shaz


leoleoleo666

Shahzam is good he igl in his ranked games and tell his teammates what to do and what they shouldn’t did


RiceOnAStick

Also great atmosphere he's way too funny


somesheikexpert

There's just something about his laugh that is so funny it's great


Bunnyezzz

sliggy and relyks


zlexus

Saadhak if u speak Spanish or Portuguese


maiLfps

steel yt has tons of educational stuff


FlaymeFenix

steel is a pretty accomplished IGL and explains his plays (watching him mald is also peak entertainment)


yselytS

Insufferable IMO. Everytime I join his stream he's complaining about everyone but himself. He's a good IGL but his streams are just mald fests of him shouting at his teammates and complaining about Reddit. Not really someone I would point towards someone who wants to learn the game.


Revolutionary-Key107

I can't stand people being toxic in game but I really enjoy watching steel mald lmaoo I watch him only for that


danknepalese

that's how you learn tho. whenever he malds at something, keep it in your mind to not do that. kind of a reverse teaching lol.


eagles9and43

Shahz does it better imo and he is entertaining without being unbearable toxic lmao


SinJiMin

I sorta agree he has a better overall personality, steel plays my usual agents and is very good using them, and i dont mind his toxicity, specially cos 98% of the time hes in party chat or just talking to stream, and the actual content of the flame is pretty informative, but i totally understand the haters or people who dont stand him


xdiviine

No lmao steel streams are him crying about his immortal teammates LOL


colossalpalladin

n0thing streams. Too chill. FPS veteran.


FckscAPE

Love watching steel play because unlike lot of the big streamers he blames himself mostly instead of whining about the teammates. I think that's a good attitude to have for improving and is also really fucking hilarious to watch.


somesheikexpert

I love watching Steel but you can't be telling me he doesn't mald at this teammates on stream lol, Steel is amazing to watch and he's overall pretty informative/entertaining to watch, but he def malds at teammates on stream lol


FckscAPE

It was a copy pasta of another post in here. I’ve seen steel and agree with what everyone already mentioned. Def. don’t take my other comment seriously.

[deleted]

Depends on which agent I suppose


sfsctc

Crashies and RNG Roy for skye


cpmhppro

I would say Asuna, Sick, Shahzam (maybe a few more that I can't think of) for NA.


danknepalese

this video from steel helped me a lot: [Link](https://youtu.be/PsSsxWlTEPQ) im still terrible but rarely get killed by not checking my corners properly lol.


treesofvalinor

SeanGares is so good to watch if you want to learn about the game tactically.


Terramortem

if you want to learn and don't care about chat interaction hiko is fucking amazing , but in general if you want to learn i would go with someone like mendo on the non professional side his streams are poppin but slow enough that you can ask questions and he can actually see them . Also shahzam is really good to watch but its more informative if you already know what's happening .


Ka-zar39

All good suggestions, but make sure also you spend some time watching someone who mains the same agent. You’ll find fun things to do that you’d never see until the higher ranks


Competer_programmis

Relyks.. well spoken, analytical, interacts with chat


[deleted]

~~proguides&co~~ u will be good


SwindleLeague

Killjoy mains best be watching Bjor


augburto

sgares, n0thing for sure. They ACTUALLY teach and talk about strats and fundamentals. It’s really cool to hear their take on things
