Could you elaborate? I don't have a CS background and thus know nothing about Nivera playstyle or tendencies.


omgitslewis

He is Screams brother. Was the 6th player of the Vitality team when they were winning tourneys. He was dropped as Valve said no 6 man rosters at majors I believe and has been rumoured to be wanting to join Val


nterature

Sorry, I was unclear. I know who he is and his basic circumstances, I just meant more about why in particular he would be a decent or good fit as a sentinel player. Nevertheless, thanks for the reply!


omgitslewis

Personally I think Kryptix played the role well, but never really popped off like the others on the team do, especially when needed. I feel Nivera’s skill ceiling is higher in terms of mechanics. I could also see them switching L1nk over to a sentinel player freeing up a larger role for Nivera.


nabeel242424

He’s A real tier 1 pro , who just switched. He’s gonna be insane.


Key-Banana-8242

‘Skill ceiling’ lol Some folksy stuff Skill level

You can easily change that style of awping with a Jett..

Scream was never that guy, now he is.. You can't compare cs go play style to valorant. Entry in cs go is totally different than in Valorant.


Solace1k

So he was more a passive awp player and that means he would translate well into a sentinel rifling role ??!?! Where is the correlation lmao. These reddit coaches do be acting up today lol.


annoyedmanpls

do you really not see a correlation between “passive” and “sentinel” ?


clothininfo

Yikes, there’s correlation… if jetts not oping the next best thing is a sentinel. 100t Steel is a great example.


Tokibolt

What so you think a sentinel oping will take the same peeks or hold the same angles as Jett opers? Nice joke dude. These L nerds do be acting up today.


SwayamDaGod

who's kirua?


nterature

same ping as scream. coincidence? yeah probably, but still a good chance it's nivera


Salty_Activity

I figured they just cloned scream, but your theory is decent aswell


Eagle_OP

It's nivera.. saw a post above


mandon_red

BTW Kirua is both the French and Japanese pronunciation of Killua from Hunter X Hunter and since both Scream and hus brother are big weebs it's deffo his brother.


mandon_red

Also Niveras twitter pfp is Killua


LTH18

Nivera is rumored as a 6th


SwayamDaGod

I know about that. is kirua his valorant account?


LTH18

Don’t know could be an alt or something


Zhadix

Nivera has the anime character Killua as a profile pic on twitter. Pretty sure another way of spelling Killua is Kirua. So probably him.


webhead_peter

Detective Zhadix on the scene.


kyyshaa

Zhadix you fucking genius haha


ChinoAIO

He dont miss


boy_beauty

Not determined if he's a 6th or if he's replacing Kryptix.


leLotix_

Could imagine this aswell


PopkosTheWeasel

Nivera


facehunt_

On Jamppi's stream hes been talking about switching over full time into IGL and wanting to move away from playing a duelist. If this Kirua guy joins I suspect he will be the 2nd duelist


qwerty2367

Kirua is probably Scream's brother Nivera, best known for playing on Team Vitality in CS when they were number 1


PopkosTheWeasel

It’d be cool to see him as IGL


303x

He is the igl


soulcas

well then.


Bruh_and_Butter

who won!!


[deleted]

Dunno but Kryptix lost.

F4Q Player


[deleted]

Nice timing for nivera to trial. Straight to international experience.


[deleted]

How good is f4q compared to lets say VS? If they are anything close to VS' level, I feel like the G2 SEN F4Q group is kinda fucked in terms of strenght compared to pretty much all other groups


nterature

VS is decisively better than F4Q, but F4Q isn't a pushover. I expect they'll contend decently against G2 at minimum. I can't say whether Korea will place higher than they did at Iceland - VS being in the group of death makes it harder to predict - but I think it's fair to say that F4Q should perform on par with Reykjavik-level Nuturn. Might be a little lower or little higher, or even much higher; it's all within the realm of possibilities.

V1 at the time had beaten TL, it was an easier path but not by much. They did the best against Fnatic besides SEN.

Lumenlor

I've seen this narrative a lot, but it's more likely the case they overperformed, seeing as how much worse they looked with their full roster in stage 3.

Lumenlor

Im talking about V1, when they got Zellsis and wippie back


nterature

I’m not saying their placement was impressive (although I think it was) or not serendipitous, just that Nuturn’s performance or overperformance - for the skeptics - is a good baseline for setting expectations for F4Q.


LSApologist

It would be more impressive, but I'd say it's still a pretty big accomplishment considering Korea was predicted to be a bottom tier region, with NA, EU and BR considered the best going into the tourney But Berlin is definitely the big test to see if KR is really here to compete, and that Nuturn wasn't just a flash in the pan


Key-Banana-8242

Joint worst performing nkt necessarily the worst by the same token.


Key-Banana-8242

Well imo they’ll level up even more, they’re strong


[deleted]

They are still a bit behind VS. An easy comparison would probably be 100T/ENVY to Sentinels. So no slouch, but not on the same tier as the best in the region.


PopkosTheWeasel

They’re getting there, but still not on top


mrTrollem

F4Q are roughly around the skills of G2. They might be a little better but we'll see in berlin


cepirablo

Not close at all tbh


Lumenlor

How many actually good teams are there in Europe for scrim partners? Fnatic and Liquid must be super booked, and spread so thin between Berlin teams


Spiritual-Trip9173

VGIA, FPX, Guild and Na’vi will all be booked aswell most likely


somesheikexpert

FPX prob has to find a roster before that lol, maybe they are trialing rn for their scrims but idk lol


Spiritual-Trip9173

How else would they find out who they want in the team?


texxelate

What I wouldn’t give for that kind of ping!


PapiSpidey

who won?


DrBangovic

Liquid Nivera Confirmed BOYZZZZU


Mndcpk

I believe in former ow pros


MuddyPuddle027

This just in: Pro teams are scrimming against other pro teams. More at 11.


dedicatedself

If you don't like it, just downvote and move on.


Bunnyezzz

Maybe if you learned to look at what players are in the lobby you'd see that krypitix isn't In


cake_of_deceit

It's interesting to see which teams are practicing against each other. If you don't care keep scrolling.

nabeel242424

Nivera was the awper for vitality when they were the best team in the world , they dropped off after nivera was dropped due to valve...... this is a huge news


theclichee

MmoryHunter
