tbf, bind is really cypher's since the start. the narrow paths allow for trips even before his long trip buff and the map is very very small so single scan ult were fine too. oh I guess this applies to split too
nats used to play cypher on bind when he was in M3C, he and deffo (skye) did some creative plays on bind with the his camera spotting enemies and deffo ready to flash them
the fnatic use of viper walls on defense combined with cypher is goated. its such a good use of teleporters, and alllows for a very different type of mid round fights
I’ve seen other val RU-vidrs do this, and it looks really nice. I think you could use it. Take a still (not moving) screenshot while the smokes are down, then record the ‘still’ of what the smokes look like while up. Now add opacity to the video of the smokes so show what they’re covering. Much more intuitive than adding a green rectangle over viper smokes imo 8:55
if you're an editor I wanna know how to edit/what program to use to make video edits like at 2:49? I wanna start making content but I don't even know what program to start practicing with
Cypher main here, have to admit that even though he got some buff before, I still feel like his kind of a sentinel is very weak but im happy to see that he gets to be used by some players in the tournaments.
his and penix statistically need buffs bc they have the lowest pick rates. in low elo tho, cypher is good bc he has good map value even if the newbie cant have a kill (and his utils are for passive roles)
Rito are allergic to balancing sentinels well for some reason. Whenever any sentinel agent gets up there in the pickrate they nerf them time and again instead of pushing other sentinels up. Cypher, Killjoy and Chamber have all been nerfed in the past
@@ThyRandomGuy there's a reason riot keeps nerfing them, and it's mainly because passive info is CRAZY broken if you're not coordinated enough to break the trips as a team passive info utility is extremely powerful, and having 0 drawback like an activation range (KJ/chamber), ease of breakage (cypher/chamber), or limited detection avenues (chamber has 1 AoE trip, cypher has 2 choke trips) would make them broken as agents KJ has been nerfed because she only has 1 downside, the activation range. Nerfing info agents is riot's way of responding to the meta + game knowledge developing since release, making the game less about stacking a site based on info, and more about taking gunfights and comboing utility
@@laser_fps there’s a reason why games like cs, r6 and val are called tactical shooters. You need tactics and coordination when playing on both sides, there’s a reason why all sentinels’ utilities can be broken. If they wanted a deathmatch with abilities sentinels as a class shouldn’t’ve existed in the first place. Nerfs as a balance method in isolation aren’t bad by any means, but when it feels like every patch one of the 3 main sentinels gets nerfed time and time again, at this point sentinel mains will be playing csgo in valorant
Cypher is INSANE on Bind i am so glad someone finally after MONTHS sees this, he can lock down half the map, play aggro, save your team because his util doesnt have a radius AAAA hes awesome
I’m a solo cypher player and I’m surprised they beat liquid as well with cypher. Don’t forget that nAts is a viper and cypher specialist as well. Plus this is his home map because he is from Morocco.
i would love to see a breakdown video on Less, he has been taking over the scene quietly for the past year and pros who play against him (Asuna, Derke, Demon1, etc) have said how good he is and hes still kind of overshadowed by aspas. He was also the highest rated player in americas playoffs by a pretty wide margin. good video though
@@Remixjazz101 pretty much he's someone you need brains and aim to play with successfully but you could go the other route and go dasnerth style of using the judge and running it all down
Had a hard time watching this as I know a boy so young, chasing his dreams has passed away. RIP Twisten from Team Vitality. Great breakdown on Cyphers viability on this map. Been picking him constant and being called a troll lol.
Bind is not just Cypher's map, it's Cypher's home, literally, Bind is in Barratt Morocco and Cypher is born there, Bind is Cypher's true home (that was ruined by Kingdom unfortunately)
Bind easily has been cyphers best map since the split rework. Not only is everything incredibly narrow but there are plenty of funky wire spots mixed with cameras that literally give you more information than a regular peak could. Always been a go to map for cypher for me
im telling you as a cypher one trick cypher is the most misunderstood agent in normal queue and pro play, he is insanely good for info and if util placed correctly it can get info over the whole map
it is difficult, yes. but we can recognize him as a great player, and those around him can honor who he was in real life. i'm gonna miss him a lot regardless though. mental health is not something to joke about.
@@auzk2js71 It's a cope from Gajin icl bc most of the player base is currently participating in a boycott due to in game economy changes that have made the game pay to progress. Whilst the most recent changes were reverted, those changes were the straw that broke the camel's back. The entire community is tiered of being milked dry of their incomes just so they can progress. So they want to attract new players who don't know/understand the shite that gajin have been up to
Ikr? I only play cypher on bind and Pearl I play him on bind cuz of the crazy trip wire setup I have for the map And Pearl because of a lot of entry especially mid
I get that cypher being used in pro plays like that suddenly makes a lot of sense. But till high diamond, lower immortal what goes is a total of 3 ways 1.4 attackers push a site with one playing lurk or catch rotate off guard. 2. 2-3 duelists setup rushes a site against smokes and an initiator or sentinel support. 3. No one is serious on pushing into site and takes the path to keep on poking till they secure a kill on an unsuspecting overconfident bloke or the weak links of the defenders. There's no chance that these insane professional level plays can stand a chance with random bluds who doesn't even use a mic to give call outs
Even as a FNC fan I don't get how and why they are called world champions. Lock//In was just a show-off tournament as said by Riot, end of 2022. The only you can become world champion is by winning Champions. Which they haven't. But I hope they do coz they definitely are the no. 1 team right now in the world...
Because of this video, i started to use cypher. He's a good agent. i win every time with him. Even comebacks are possible once the team starts to listen
idk why but ever since i started playing bind with cypher I usually can take full control of site till my teammates come to help me i just saw a setup in another video from long ago, tried it and it worked and i also started creating new setups to help in case they got use to it
