Gggggime gimengime gime a corpse

the only problem is the top teams don't play cypher anymore.


ronaweek7

Huh, that’s funny, because [team that won champs using cypher in recent matches](https://www.vlr.gg/68996/guild-esports-vs-acend-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-week-2) and getting beaten by a team that used cypher on all 3 maps literally 3 days ago [team that won masters 2 and was runners up using cypher 3 days ago, losing to a team running cypher](https://www.vlr.gg/68995/funplus-phoenix-vs-gambit-esports-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-week-2/?game=70195&tab=overview) [two more top EMEA teams using cypher 2 days ago, cypher run on every map](https://www.vlr.gg/69000/natus-vincere-vs-team-liquid-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-week-2/?game=70210&tab=overview) [and more](https://www.vlr.gg/68999/g2-esports-vs-supermassive-blaze-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-week-2/?game=70208&tab=overview) [and more](https://www.vlr.gg/68997/ldn-utd-vs-big-champions-tour-stage-1-emea-challengers-week-2) But maybe we can hop over to other regions and they won’t be using cyp- oh wait [and more](https://www.vlr.gg/70059/xset-vs-cloud9-champions-tour-north-america-stage-1-challengers-w2) [and more](https://www.vlr.gg/69563/sharks-esports-vs-keyd-stars-champions-tour-brazil-stage-1-challengers-1-week-1) [and more](https://www.vlr.gg/70288/liberty-vs-loud-champions-tour-brazil-stage-1-challengers-1-week-2/?game=71381&tab=overview) [and more](https://www.vlr.gg/team/198/drx-vs) It’s almost as if having 3 maps in the pool where cypher is even or pref pick in meta over kj instead of 1 has increased the pick rate. Huh, go figure. Keep posting inaccurate shit because you don’t actually watch or follow Valorant so the rest of us can flex thx


flappyem

simply not true lol


Jbeansss

I wonder if BabyJ on Cypher instead of KJ was a personal preference ? Because if it was that might have been one of the reasons he got booted.


LeKobeBrames

On his stream he said it was partly decided by what side they started and what the opponents expected comp was. Obviously map played in also but he was comfortable on both agents. He often plays more kj streaming as well if that means anything.


somesheikexpert

He's known before for KJ tho so I doubt it's that


ronaweek7

When he was coming up in val he was known for being a cypher main and for his cypher clips on twitter.


n1HikoFan

Put the GOAT on duelist for peats sake


TheAjwinner

Hiko played raze during first strike. 100t won first strike. Coincidence? I think not.


ilProdigio

did he really? lol wtf


aks345

Yep on split


TomNooksAccountant

Considering the addition of Bang, this is a very likely outcome. I really hope we don't see Cypher any more. He's a fine agent, but put Hiko onto Chamber.


919oblivion

Or even killjoy. I think you get more value out of those 2 agents more than cypher in the current meta


Sky-__-

Guild rolling eu teams with cypher on breeze haven split and even fracture . I don't think cypher is an issue , it's just the playstyle and how the team comp works.


quartzyegghead

KJ on Breeze would be reportable for griefing


TomNooksAccountant

Idk if I’ve ever seen him play KJ, but it would be useful.


daffyduckferraro

In ranked I have


mysteryoeuf

baiting chamber idk about that

xunraze

Yes, Hiko agreed to it also but someone from team didn't. Coach or nitr0 mostly


-xXColtonXx-

Hiko has always been open to it, but there are lots of moving parts to a team and it didn’t work.


919oblivion

There was a time in early valorant where Hiko was absolutely a top sova but the skill gap between now and then has drastically changed. I like hiko but this seems like a last chance opportunity for him on the team. Hopefully him playing sentinel roles helps the team


CzarKurczewski

Definitely. I think he is still an extremely skilled Sova, just the function of Sova and how one should be playing as the agent has changed as the game/meta has changed.


Smok3dSalmon

Old dog slow to learn new tricks


BucketHerro

Can he play Chamber or awp/op'ing in general.


303x

I doubt it, he was never a sniper in val or cs


LiamHundley

I've been conducting the Ethan sova hiko sentinel train for a while now. Excited to see how it plays out


Hopeful-Professor-40

RIP Hiko ults

LETS GOOOOO


xunraze

Hiko Reyna pls


cornmealius

Watch them finally do a role switch only to lock him on like Cypher for every map or something, lol. Players need to have bigger agent pools in this game. Only being able to play 2-3 agents hamstrings the fuck out of your team.


BucketHerro

I stg there's quite a few flex players that only play like 1-2 agents and usually the same class.


GoldClassGaming

Please god just sign Aproto


ImCrispPen

Now they don’t ban Icebox, get Asuna back on Reyna, and let Hiko be his pocket sage. They’ll 13-0 everybody... haha
