    Today, we're going to break down the Top 15 Pro Plays of the year. But to spice it up, we're going to play a game I'm calling "Aim or Brains". After watching each play, we have to decide whether that play was made possible due to godlike aim or genius brains. Of course, most top plays are a mix of both. So choosing one or the other is where the challenge comes in. Play along with me and let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Are the best plays from Valorant Champions Tour 2023 born from aim or brains?

  • @talon9732
    @talon9732 6 місяців тому +2

    For Com's clutch, I honestly feel it was PRX's fault for not having considered heaven.
    Moreover, Com had done many wrap-arounds like this throughout the tournament in a 1vX situation. For instance I remember him showing himself in Hookah and then going around and coming from CT against FUT. And another one on Pearl (don't remember which team though).
    Had this play been against teams like FNC, Loud or NRG to name a few, I think this play wouldn't have worked.

    I'll never understand these aim vs brain videos. I love them, they are entertaining, and highlighting the decision making that goes into an awesome play is nice, but let's be real. None of these plays would've worked without aim. None. You can have the best decision making ever, get the timing right and still flunk. It's sad, but to be good you do need aim in every situation to win.

    I think Paper Rex in the last clip should've positioned differently, and they should've been ready for the potential flank after so much time had passed. Maybe they could have doubled up hell instead? If he peeks through the harbor wall that slows him they would have plenty of time to shoot him even while they are backing up, right?
    Shouldn't PRX also know that he didn't actually grab the orb? Whenever someone grabs an orb/plants the spike, don't the enemies who are dead usually hold tab to see who planted/took the orb?
    I think it's a bit lucky on c0m's part, but it's still a really good play by him to go for the huge flank.
