    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.

      @@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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      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.
