EG and Demon1 have been the hot topic of discussion after huge upset victories in the VCT Americas playoffs which won them a trip to Masters Tokyo and Champions. In this video I'll take a closer look at exactly what makes Demon1 such an outstanding player with examples from EG's miracle playoffs run.

He doesn't play ranked all that much according to him. I wonder if that is what stops him from overheating like other duelists.
That makes so much sense. All the ranked grinders have a habit of overheating since they out aim all the immortals they go against in radiant ranked lobbies
@@xxcridonxx7614 it's not about the aim. Ranked players rarely 5 stack so they don't have the absolute coordination to trade or to play off of each other perfectly. Even the comms aren't as good so people get caught off guard by blitzs.
@@chaalbaaz429 it’s about the confidence that comes with out mechanicing lower skilled enemies in ranked imo
I don't think so, personally I know he used to main Unreal Tournament an old but very aim intensive FPS game. I think that's where he developed a lot of his aiming ability and being able to handle a fast pace without overheating. Just watch some of his UT highlights.
Demon1 is literally close to rank 1, he's been grinding ranked like every stream
This just proves that T2 and T3 are full of talent that hasn't been tapped into yet which is insane cuz the players rn are already so good but to think better players exist and are potentially in contention for the best jett (strongest agent in current meta) in the world
trent, runi, jake, demon1 all came from nowhere.
WOAH THERE ARE OTHER TALENTS OUT THERE OTHER THAN WHAT YOU SEE? shocker..
@@dakota8381 imagine trying to find an excuse to be an asshole for no reason lmfao
@@dakota8381 rough day?
@@insight6213 Yeah had to watch stupid people like this make comments all day. Who fucking knew there was more talent outside of tier 1?
Great analysis of demon1, great video overall so keep it up:D also love the neffex soundtrack running in the background
Glad you enjoyed it!
man im a big fan of Demon1 his playstyle is just so GOOD
What about now?
@@xkongouosu4768still extremely good
@@danieltheone706agree to disagree
2 months ago?
this video is actually really really good bro
sucks that we dont get to see him in masters, wanted to see a eg vs fnc
well if eg makes it through group stage they might face fnc. no?
@derarken73 He's taking about the fact that Demon1 can't go to Tokyo for personal reasons
@@jiazezhang3462 nooo really? why?
@@derarken73 he stated that he wasnt originally part of the roster so they didn't sort out visa and passport. Its guaranteed he cannot attend tokyo sadly
@@zanaraesir9363 shit man
the yay games are crazy, look at the first blood to first death ratio its utter insanity. Hopefully he ll join a franchised team after the roster window opens so we can see him play with good support and a proper igl because his top form is even more insane then I ever realized
The ratio was only insane because of chamber lol. Chamber was built for fk's
@@walkingtree2486 he can do it on jett too, give him some time. chamber is still viable so he may play it on some maps
look at the difference in headshot percentage though. 44% is insane
@@brianlove8365 yeah even comparing his recent games on Jett to Demon1, he’s averaged like 5 percent or more less than Demon1 has. That being said tho I still think Yay is a great player. He was insane before chamber even came out, when he used to play Jett for NV. Lately he seems like he’s been a struggling a bit.
Man was farming Team Liquid at Champs 2022.
He's going to tokyooo!!! Let's goo!! (Confirmed it when he was live streaming)
Great vids as always
loving the neffex song in the background, also great video:)
Great video as always!
Can you make a video on why LOUD seem to have difficulty against KRU despite kru being the easiest target for almost every team in vct?
Interesting idea I'll take a look at their match and see if there's something to cover thanks!
@@platoonval w content creator
9:50 demon1 looks so sad on stage because he knows he wont be in tokyo :(
Why he won’t be in Tokyo
@@jirateepjiamsirikarn2230 no visa not allowed cos he was subbed in later when teams were finalized he wasnt in roster so he cant play in tokyo now
@@realtheodore He actually got his visa sorted so hes currently in japan getting ready with his team :)
@@dan_869 yea i saw the news ysday. very happy for him
Its such a shame we dont get to see him on the international stage. I would love to see how his playstyle matches up against the other regions
I would say he'd to fantastic if he's this good against the likes of Loud and NRG.
Toyko ??
@@xWhereon hes not going to Tokyo
@@xWhereon didnt get a visa in time
@@xWhereon he doesnt have visa 😥😥
this aged well
Great video
truly a deagle demon
yay deagle better
@@frizzy3749 yay is washed
@@frizzy3749 yay whiffs too much, i used to be yay fan but...on the tier 2 scene when he played with dsg he was so bad when he needed to show up he couldn't and there was no deagle demon there, rather demon1 is now the new el diablo aka demon
here after eg won champs
demon 1 get mvp,101 kils over 3 games in the final
i look purple outline in demon1 video, make me remember when hacker use that outline for trigerbot
i am watching this video after eg champion win and yess deamon 1 is not just a ranked player
cant wait to watch ur video about how FNC lost vct cuz i didn't have the chance to watch the matchs
😂 Definitely a crazy match
44% Headshot is insane if you have YAY with 18 and 22
me encantó tu análisis :D
Having trust in your team is one of the best things you can have to your advantage in a high level competitive match of valorant. I play for the team at my uni and I do so much better in that environment than I do in ranked because I can have full trust in my team to know what we are doing and I know they will have my trade when I do stupid shit and inevitably die. I'm gold one playing on average plat players and I most of the time now will frag over sometimes the entire other team because of how comfortable I am with my team.
i'm a fan now
This aged well
good video!
made it to tokyo grand finals didnt win but it was a hell of a run
Imagine Demon1 Joins NRG
He’s such an explosive fragger I would argue Nrg would be back to the age of optics reign as long as som can fill marved shoes
now he actually joined nrg lol
I knew Demon1 from his YT videos I def knew the he gonna be insane mechanically but he still surprised me EG was already good without him now they're crazy
final warning
This video aged well
lets be honest, no one can make millisecond decisions, its all muscle memory from playing thousands of hours even if you're a radiant.
You can, it’s more so natural, you see a opening and you run the best counter at first thought
no you cant, its muscle memory and reaction from being in that situation more times cause u play that game a lot like, u have 3 guys picking from diferent angles u are not like: yea i should focus this then this, yea now this one, no man, they are focusing on aiming and calls of his teams, minimap etc, who is impresive but they react to that things just cause they has been in that situation 100 times, so he just do what its the best automatically.@@earth1255
Bro roasting SEN lmao😂
Bro we want EG vs LOUD explained 🗿
give the man a visa.
wow!
Because he’s on a pro team, roll credits
Wait this vid isnt after they win Champions?
I'm sorry but Demon 1 is cooking in Tokyo masters, he dropped crazy clutches on loud last night, he's insane dude
Bro Demon1 is my dad he owns me he idk he's just good
He really deserves so much recognition.... he is surely on the level of ASPAS & DERKE and far greater then overrated players like tenS
tenz mechanical skills are good, dont say bad about tenz everytime bro let him live.
always bringing tenz in the conversation so obsessed with him
@@frizzy3749 I m not saying anything bad... just sharing facts. See CHAMPIONS TOUR previous videos... youll find where PRO players have said same about tenz... he was good but right now he is the worst pick for the role of DUELIST
@@vWeslq Obsessed? Yeah lol i m obsessed with him because his gf is hot af xD
@@FarooQ2k23 bro thats too much 💀

Wait why can't he play in Tokyo? Why didn't they get him his visa ?
He says it was because he was not on the team originally when Riot had to start the Visa applications.
i love this dude

Bro i see this video now when the eg is worlds champions now😂💝💝
does anyone know whats demon1 aimlab routine
3:37 he didn't think about that crouch for the 2nd kill when you get to that level of skill & experience that demon 1 is at it just happens naturally thats what sets him apart from others
The NRG thinking demon holding on default is reason for casual player to sometimes watch guide not for copy that guide or strat but to counter it. When you knew of most popular strat and common position you can easily caught enemy off guard because they didn't realize you are not on 'default' zone. Actually it's help me climb by watching guide and try to counter it especially if the guide is so common or popular since people will try to copy it
it's still most optimal to hold that angle, because any other angle gets traded out (most of the time)
, but with the default angle you can get one a get out sometimes.
not to be that guy but he's not "not just a ranked player", he is literally not a ranked player. the reason why he seems to have come out of nowhere is coz he only played t2 tourneys and scrims. he has never had a full act triangle, he's only grinded ranked now that he's signed and is streaming.
The best player in the world.
can you make a video about ardiis
whats the background music?
at 8:12
Steps - Anno Domini Beats ?
@@platoonval Thanks!!
I miss her would smoke this guy, but he's alright
tf is that title he's not at all a ranked player
Rip nrg demon1
Nobody AIMS like demon1
i dont think anyone ever called demon1 a RANKED PLAYER
You'd be surprised.
Tenz dreams abt being this good. D1, Aspas, Derke, and Sayf are masterclass duelist.
i think tenz aim are the same as the other s tier duelist but his brain and his team just cant reach that level
i know a player in sentinel who's a god in rank but can't make an impact during competitions
thats why hes the goat
gonna go bald so i get good at valorant
Sooo they won
If he's not a ranked player then how did he get good at the game? Did he play CSGO previously or did he play unrated? I've seen clips of Demon1 piss malding at getting called a ranked player it's weird as fuck.
No he's just absolute raw talent that came from a true afps to have a rock solid aiming and movement foundation. I played with him in Unreal Tournament before Valorant was even a game. He dominated, winning several duel cups handily against the best like an absolute monster. He also did trials back in the UT2K4 days and mastered movement mechanics.
SIMPLY NRG ARDIS WIFFED
Aspas is the calmest duelist itw. The main reason why he's the best awper itw as well. On that ascent against EG, they won a 2v4 with him awping just with his calm.
here's an example of him being patient
ua-cam.com/video/Rk4NR4BmErg/v-deo.html
imagine bald Yay
3:20 ardiis the 40 yo boomer choked so hard around 8-9 bullets on a standing target
I counted 4
Actually it's three and it's barely one second, demon1 flicked so hard
sry ardiis
nah, that's just good aim and other team throwing
He played well against all teams, how tf are they all throwing lol?
He does play well against most teams. Very consistent at that. Tho, at that level of gameplay, any team with a 2 man advantage should have won, unless they screwed up somehow, someway, such as whiffing, peaking 1 by 1, giving too much space, etc., which can be seen throughout this video. The only thing that stands out from the vid is his consistent flicks and calm aim, with good team work, and a hint of throwers.
All best duelist are bald huuhhh🤫
at this point any duelist is better than tenz lmao
TenZ so good, he gets mentioned on videos that aren't even about him by haters.
@@xxxxxxxxxx7026 so good in being bad. I mean it's straight facts.
@@ronlyon4645 still a good overall player. The competition is just better. Your gold ass could never appreciate. I'm not even a TenZ fan. Aspas is my kinggg.
most people suck dck in anonymously, some dont. Welcome to the majority Ron.
@@ronlyon4645 He's on a Tier1 team and demon1 is not theres a reason for that. Tenz would have never been 13-0'd by loud, he's good enough to get AT LEAST a round by himself.
you cant trust your teammates in comp that is the issue
Lmao all these people think pros are 300iq they dont think what they are gonna do mid fight they do it out of habit and they dont think about the little movement then crouch its all muscle memory
True, I don't think pros don't really have that much time to think that deep, it is just different game sense and aim. Like you can see, even marved said his aim is not really that good, he thinks what makes him good is the perfect read
This analysis is so pointless. It's just his cracked aim that separates him from the others. All the other points you made are skills that every pro player has.
random
such a delusional video haha
Who cares? Dude can't even play until Champs and by then every team will have gotten so much better and EG will predictably go 1-2 in groups or by some miracle make quarters just to get stomped. Hate NA, EU, OCE, Asia, SA, BR
Get help bro
@@guyontheinternet6034 Shut up
Dude watched the whole vid just to cmt this 💀
but tenz is
Yeah but hes not a soft asian boy with an anime pfp so the val community will never recognize him
