I can help you find real irons players if you’re interested (EU) just because I (used to, now little burned out) play this game non stop for a year. And my rank for the longest time was iron.
watching an iron player is like watching an AI learning their abilities edit: nevermind the iron player was crying and got their older sibling to play, actually saddening and hilarious at the same time
@@YellowFellowXD Iron players don't turn flashes or have the best accuracy. Rewatch the first two round and pay attention to the accuracy, then on r3 he starts hitting more shots and turning flashes.
To check if someone took over you need to hear his voice the first time and if he play different tell him to talk again, if he dosen't talk in the first 3 second or they sound different,they're a different person
It's not the confidence, but rather the calmness amidst the chaos which allows him time to think. Whenever I have died too many times and I start feeling calmness wash over me as I'm seeing the number of allies drop down to 0, it gives me a sense of having crossed the line of no return.
I have actually felt this just yesterday on Bind on B defense pistol round. I had a shorty and just played around my trips + info from teammates' vision, and calmly listening to the enemies' footsteps. Managed to get a 4k as an Iron 3. I feel like it is just my inability to stay calm which holds the entirety of me back, even if my aim is decent.
@@pulsar5934 he never had teammates and he can take no damage. why would he play scared at all if he was invincible why did his aim become better out of no where
That iron definitely wasnt the same person after round 2 or something. Before round 3 the kayo was not even able to plant and suddent after that round he somehow knows what exactly to do and his aim gets better. He was playing like a silver, he had aim but terrible crosshair placement and bad decision making.
Since he is an iron going up against friggin diamond players, he was just too scared of all the killing utils and the shootings. Took him a couple of rounds to realize "hey wait! I'm invulnerable." That gave him more confidence. Also, it could very well be that someone was backseating him.
@@saminyead1233It wasn't just a confidence boost. His movement and mouse control changed noticeably, almost as if he was playing on a higher sens than before. He was also trying to dodge phoenix and breach flash, no iron player has that fast reaction
@@walkingtree2486 they have fast enough reaction, plus he didnt even dodge it, he tries to dodge it but he fails. you can dodge flashes even with below average reaction times, even bronze players can dodge flashes im sure.
nah, I believe someone took over playing his account mid game/ someone was coaching him. You don't just suddenly grow a brain like that. There's a reason why they're iron/ stuck in iron.
first couple of rounds i believed a genuine iron player was found (which is always a concern w these videos sadly), but there was a really noticeable sudden shift in skill around round 3🙁 he went from heavy whiffing w a ghost to calmly getting pistol/vandal headshots. the game sense and crosshair placement was so different. kinda weird but good video nonetheless lol
@@Rose_Butterfly98 yes, anyone can whiff. you’re telling me how iron works like i don’t play iron/bronze elo. its not that you can’t make good shots, but his overall competence changed and it’s really noticeable by most people. you can aim well and be iron, but there was a very obvious shift in gameplay that did not go unnoticed by most. it’s hard to argue that he just had a couple first bad rounds when his reaction speed, awareness, shooting accuracy, etc changed *drastically*.
@@ms_dummy but the inconsistency is really to that level in iron though. Don't tell me you've never seen your dumbass Yoru flash himself and die multiple times and suddenly start dominating. Heck, I've been accused of smurfing because I got 3 quadrakills in the first 3 rounds then proceeded to botfrag. Or botfrag for half the match and suddenly start clearing site on my own. Or that one phoenix player I keep playing against that either does crap or suddenly gains the ability to 1 tap me while I'm bunnyhopping or sliding as neon. You said you're in iron, you should probably have seen all these, it's very common. Then there's also the players that you never understand why they're stuck in iron when they can carry the whole game repeatedly.
8:36 He tried to look away at the phoenix flash.. A PHOENIX FLASH! Whoever is playing that is atleast Gold. No Iron player would even have the reflex to TRY that. Then he did it again at 9:06 on a breach flash although he failed both times. An Iron, or even a bronze player won't think of looking away and returning the crosshair that fast.
Also look at the difference between him against a flash during beginning and later 3:46 He reacts 1 second after being flashed, normal reaction time for iron. 8:36 dodges flash instantly based on the sound queue.
In my opinion Deadlock was a really useful agent in this "mode" cause ofc, her abillities don't make dmg but they troll pretty well, she could block entrances, slow with the gravnet and the sonic sensors, the Idea with the ult was genious!
Idk if iron changed but I remembered that as a iron player I haven’t use my classic , like i never switched with my little gun before so for me this guy is clearly not an iron
Deadlock's ultimate works because of how the game is made. Basically, yeah Yoru was invulnerable to RECEIVING DAMAGE, however, deadlock's ultimate does no damage, but rather sets your life to 0. It is an execution that does no damage. Huge difference.
Invulnerable simply means he can not be damage. Deadlocks ult triggers an insta-kill once he reaches his target destination. same does Iso ult, if neither player dies within the realm before it expires.
when I was Iron I could do all of this and more. Everybody underestimates iron players like they can't do anything. Most people in iron haven't played a game like val yet but they know how to simple things that they learned from other games, like how to aim and basic fundamentals like switching to a secondary when you run out of ammo. And if you could not do that in iron I wonder how you climbed out, SO PUT MORE RESPECT ON THE IRON PLAYERS. pls and ty
I still didnt watch the video but I saw the comments and I just wanna say that a sudden switch in aim and playstyle is possible for iron players and its not someone taking over. When I was Iron the first couple rounds were terrible. I missed every shot and just did stupid mistakes. After I played in more and felt more confident, I hit headshots, did way less mistakes and did 4ks and aces here and there. Its not impossible. Which also happens is that the fear of the enemies just stops existing. I’m hard stuck bronze now and I played in Gold-Plat lobbies in 5stack and I was so scared of the enemies and missed EVERYTHING. But when I started to realize that they are pretty shit too, I was more calm and started to hit my shots and ended up not bottom fragging in the end game ranking(I was always in the middle in Gold-Plat lobbies)
Eggwick I love ur content and was sad to hear that you would be leaving val but i was just wondering are you coming back or was this like a one time thing
It seems like you missed some parts about Eggwick leaving so let me explain. Eggwick has clarified that he is not entirely leaving VALORANT content, but instead is just going to try out different content but has also clarified that he will still do VALORANT content, just not as much. Hope that helps
Nah as someone who has been in iron since march 2022 this aim is not iron. The switching to alt weapons is not iron. Getting kills with right click pistol is not iron. The movement is not iron. I’m glad u picked up on it. It’s so easy to tell when players are not iron because it’s really hard to fake being bad. The way you move the calmness of the flicks are very easy tell tale signs of someone in a higher rank. Irons have a sheen of panic over them especially when they kill people, the movements are rushed because they’re not experts in the game. And for a long time I was one of them, I just recently ranked up to bronze and I can do very easy tell what sets even bronze vs iron players apart bc I’ve play this game (and this game only ) for over a year now. There are not many of us so to see people that are new to the game and being misrepresented not only in ranked but now on eggwicks stream/vid rlly makes me slightly sad. The audacity of Smurfs never surprises to amaze me.
People don't realise how much better you can play when you don't have the fear of death. Granted there's always a possibility of smurfing, but I don't think that's the case here Bruh
either he switched with someone or he was secretly good was playing bad on purpose on the first rounds to have people have low expectations and then surprise them by completely switching up last round and just to throw them off guard and surprise them which by suddenly jumping from bad to good (which honestly makes it look like thats not him).... it could be either but the switching seems unlikely but the other one is also a possibility. But whether that was actually same person was playing or not, only he knows what truly happened while to the rest us are left in the dust
That iron is sis for sure. Dodging flashes? Hell, I'm gold and sometimes I forget I need to do that. Great video. Would've been better if a real iron player was playing. Kinda shameful of that "iron" player sucking the fun out of it.
To be honest, there is 2 types of iron players. 1. Hard stuck iron that plays like higher ranks 2. Newbie player As a plat myself i was hard stuck on iron for like maybe 6 months or so. I was playing like gold at that point xD
he didn’t say he was never going to make valorant content again, he just said he wasn’t going to make ONLY valorant videos. So he will have other game contents along with valorant
I am just wild guessing but maybe the reason he got better is the fact he understood he can't be killed , so he was clamer in his aiming and thinking , but this is only my theory
Maybe this is old footage or he still does challenges and doesnt play it anymore. Im just kinda sus cuz in the past so many people said they are quitting or changeing and one day later they do it again (they just do it for the clicks or stuff like that). Tho i dont feel like that eggwick is this kind of character who would do that (he feels pretty real and down to earth).
Nah bro the deadlock ult killing him is broken but i wonder if iso ult would also work bc if the iso doesnt die in time both would get killed right?(if this was remade in the current act)

The transition to the sponsor was so bad

Someone definitely took over it's so obvious because of the change at movement and mouse control
still bad

how do u know that

thats so sad

he can be literally sitting next to them and simply talk when required, it wont prove nothing.
It doesn't take a genius to see it's not him
its most def him he dosent look any better ur just glazing
nobody took over, its obviously just one smurf who lied about being iron
@@Lovelttryoure either iron, autistic, or the guy in the video

As an iron for most of my valorant career, i see this as an absolute win
I love ur pfp
On god Draken

I been hard stuck iorn for so long
never reached bronze so this is true 👍🏻

he had someone play
I’m iron and I’m like that good
He prob did have someone play for him tho
@@sebwilkinson5506no you're not, im ascendant and this dude plays really well, definitely not iron, higher than gold for sure

Escaping Iron is really easy, If your iron, you deserve it

@Rose_Butterfly98 no but the way hes calmly aiming is different. especially with pistols
if u ever feel stupid remember that he bought shields instead of his utility
yeah whats the point of buying shields if youre not going to get shot
He was probably confident

OK to be fair I'm able to dodge some flashes and I'm iron :v
As a bronze i would win that.
I was Iron 3 before. I instinctively do that back then.
Agreed lol. I'm diamond and phoenix and breach flashes are the hardest to dodge.
A normal iron player would never have that high reaction time
Also look at the difference between him against a flash during beginning and later
3:46 He reacts 1 second after being flashed, normal reaction time for iron.

OMG u did not leave us thank u so much for keeping us entertained with valorant content
thanks for making valorant content again bro love u
"what's the name for the astra.. uh" followed by "OOOH BIG SUCK!" must've been the funniest sequence of words I've heard all day lol
I think someone else plays for him from time to time, and I actually think that "that" person is the one who also convinced him to play kay/o.
"GOOD SUCK, GREAT SUCK" 💀
thats quite amazing to watch, love this creative games..away from the toxicity in game

11.06 'good suck, great suck' 💀
Great job youtuber, can't even tell when somethings wrong
To be honest, there is 2 types of iron players.
1. Hard stuck iron that plays like higher ranks
2. Newbie player
As a plat myself i was hard stuck on iron for like maybe 6 months or so. I was playing like gold at that point xD
This is what I expect irons to be like , but most of the time I have Smurf’s when i make a new account
for attack, u should just pick viper, buy judge, run down on side, ult, plant and just kill everybody trying to defuse in viper ult
This guy should be a pro esports commentator
someone deff took over after round 3
Bro didn't get views on other games videos so he is back at it
watching 14:11 to 14:29 was like watching a little kid play cod zombies
his silver bro hopped on
If he's invincible, why's he not just going in terminator?
Was this recorded before the announcement
prob
Yes. Videos take weeks to edit, he obviously must have some videos left in his projects to be uploaded
he didn’t say he was never going to make valorant content again, he just said he wasn’t going to make ONLY valorant videos. So he will have other game contents along with valorant
As an iron player i can confirm some time we bad other times were good
bro came back to valorant real fast
Bro randomly came in with the sponsor, no warning
This guy is extremely underrated
Satan after seeing eggwick : Holy shit, my job is in danger......
The diamonds should use all their ammo and run at the iron, until he runs out of ammo
Make part 2 Its so fuun😂😂
This was insane lol
13:53 bro became sisyphus
The situation on 13:56 and the voice line of yoru 14:02 matches
moral of the video : deadlock is so OP that it defies law of immortality cheats LoL
KAY/o in this gamemode kinda reminds me of The Terminator
If my lobbies in iron looks like "iron players in every UA-camr mind" i wouldn't be hard stuck iron bruh
stop the cap, no iron is dodging a pheonix flash like that, big bro got on
having played in iron before this is exactly what iron lobbies feel like
8:13 for that legend in the chat
U can't google it 😂
you should do 5 radiants that can only operator no scope vs irons
its crazy this guy is on my range, bro is like worst iron i´ve seen
can you do casting on your Fan's/Follower's past games? That would be great content
I still cant believe he didnt kill the only one who can kill him.
Deadlock pick was amazing
eyoo eggwick cause, id luv to watch u play lies of p (if u didnt knew its a new soulslike game) :D
luv ur videos, stay how u r
thank god you didnt quit completely
I am just wild guessing but maybe the reason he got better is the fact he understood he can't be killed , so he was clamer in his aiming and thinking , but this is only my theory

Guy is no iron bro :/
He is plastic
He’s air
Besides aim consistency, Iron players and Radiant players are 2 sides of the same coin, and I cannot be convinced otherwise
the sponser came out of nowhere
ily so much egg
the val tracker ad was so random
Remember this like yesterday..
Grab Breach -> Ult nonstop -> Iron unable to plant/defuse
Nice video 😍, riot should see this and nerf chamber
Does anyone else hate eggwick but alwas happy when he upload
The iron player using kayo is so amazing, he's the embodiement of being a bot.
mr. Iron man learned he was truly immortal
