Faze picked Harbor. Here's how it went (Pro Valorant Analysis) 

i was thinking the same general idea when i saw faze using harbor. seeing all their straight walls made it feel like they were using him as a second viper rather than playing him as an aggressive controller

Faze coach rightnow: "Write that down ! Write that down !"

harbor is an agent with so much team-play potential, especially in pro play. i really hope more teams pick him up as an aggressive controller and not just a replacement for viper T-T

I like a lot of these ideas. I do want to say that at 8:29 that sort of aggression makes sense for a lot of other teams but I feel its contrary to faze's gameplan. I'm pretty sure with killjoy and viper and kayo mollies, their icebox postplant is the age old "stall for a million mollies" plan. They had viper lineups and killjoy would blow two mollies, minimum 8 seconds stall, then viper mollies for another minimum 10 seconds stall, then maybe a kayo or sova lineup for the final part of the postplant stall. It's a reasonable plan but a very passive one. G2 was also pretty well prepared for it and played very quick retakes, winning most of their duels. The only aggressive agents in this setup were harbor and kayo and I'm pretty sure dicey and babybay were on a leash and instructed not to push in most of their postplants, as the sole goal of their postplant setup appears to be playing for time. I think your active ideas would match up with more aggressive agents like skye and reyna much better. Sadly, that didn't appear to be in Faze's playbook this game.

i feel like harbour plays really well as an almost hyper carry/carry setup controller, and obviously here faze aren't using him to set up those plays, probably because of the pressure of the game, but im really excited to see if teams like PRX utilize him because it could very well be their gateway to a championship imo

Absolutely love this content!!! Super excited for the guides too!

Decided to main Harbor again because of you, great content. Personally I play less aggressive cuz my aim is trash, and I use lineups and rat spots more but I love seeing Harbor's potential when I can actually aim

I honestly don’t know how you can pick an agent in a pro match and straight up not watch any tuto or tips about him His walls were so shitty all game that was honestly cringing me AF I just don’t know how.. So underused

super insightful analysis, nice work as always ludi!!

Amazing vid, harbor has INSANE untapped potential... It just takes a lot of effort to make him work, which a lot of teams don't want to do

the point of playing harbor is eliminate as many angle as u can, use low sens or medium always take 1 angle fight scenario , and abuse it with ur team flash :) (i used to be a aggresive viper main but now im playing harbor a lot cuz it fits my playstyle as a duelist controller )

People don’t understand that harbor is more of an initiator smoke to help create space for the initiator. Like his smokes don’t last that long to begin with so saving your util it will never be used

faze contacting ludilue rn

I'd love more content like this! I'm a Harbor insta-lock so all of your tips help!!

them using harbor in that way made made me so disappointed as a harbor main harbor is so underrated in that map he is my go to cover agent for icebox but i agree they used him as a second viper

I actually have a 65% win rate over 30 games in ascendant right now. Going to pretty good so far. Edit: With Harbor only lmao

Harbor main as well

I learnd one secret from your HL 😎 The Q smoke can let you popping peek and protect you.

honestly all the straight and generic walls by harbor were so disappointing to watch they should watch this video and take notes

Love this harbor analysis

Nice video that's held me. A lot thanks

i enjoyed the content, but i subbed for the slurping at the end

Bro using persona music in a valo video I fuckin love it

Harbor feels like Yoru! If you don't know how to use it, of course he is going to be one of those poopoocaca

if people start getting good with harbor like you he could so easily be meta

amazing content

bro just humbled faze what a pro

I hope faze team watches this vid

Harbor is good, but only if you play him for retakes.

Harbor 💪🌊
