While I doubted EDG in this video I actually was one of the first believers as I predicted them to win trophy this year back in my predictions video. I just stopped believing at the worst time 😢 th-cam.com/video/TC7WvfJx4cw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iPr35iXyTD5ceO76
He isn't out of his prime, edg just weirdly stopped to put him on Jett every map and placed him on rate and then chichoo on jett. He didn't feel off, edg just wastes his potential Edit And they benched haodong for S1mon what, in my opinion, was one of the absolute worst decisions ever. Haodong was one of the best viper players ever and they kinda continue to waste extreme good potential.
i mean reality is harsh. EDG will lose the champs without good qualification and his team will replace all of its players except for Kang Kang. In 2025 they will lose again then eventually kick kang kang off the team and he will join another chinese team.
Manifesting EDG winning VCT Champs 2024. Kk on Neon, finally getting an insane initiator on the roster (S1mon), Nobody making the right calls as the IGL, Smoggy on smokes (he has been the best clove on lotus), Chichoo on the lurks (best cypher on sunset). Monster of a team. Masters Madrid and Shanghai really taught them a lesson and, they’re bringing what they learned here on Champs 🤩
The fact this has popped up after watching the man drop 111 kills in a bo5 against Team Heretics and is the current holder of the MVP and champions trophy is wild, KangKang really had even more to offer
Esports is way harder to stay at the top especially because alot of the prestige of being great is not just associated with regional success but international as well, unlike traditional sports.So esport players primes tend to be shorter because it's hard to be both regional and internationally dominant for more than a couple of years.
I agree but he himself said he is not young anymore and that he can't hit shots like before b'coz his reaction time has become slow due to his age. It was a weird statement more as a excuse for him underperforming
I'm from China and watch a lot of kangkang's streaming. Actually, he was good at Overwatch and APEX, which are not that popular in China when he was old enough to sign a contract, so...
Kang Kang was a product of his time kinda like other major players who fell off. He was good when certain agents were good. As the meta evolves, very few teams and players have consistently stayed at the top.
I have a question and I would love for you to answer, so does GearUP booster actually work? I have not tried it but I was thinking of it and I really don't want to get banned on val if it doesn't work
KangKang in across china kickoff, stage 1 and stage 2. no. 1 acs no. 1 kd there is no official ratings but he’s certainly would be the no.1 rated chinese player, he’s still in his prime, it’s just that EDG have gotten a little worse
I don’t remember people thinking it could go either way at lock-in with the 100T v EDG match, lots of people literally had 100T as favourites to win the tournament.
Bro plzzzz bro stoooooop overrate a kiiid , he is good but he jas nothing to do with other opers primes , yay / cned / cryo/ marved / something . Plz stooop guys , he just made around 4-5 good games cmnnnn stop . Ihave seen live all his games bro . He is good but not to be compared with the best💀 have u start watch valorant last year or u just see tik tok highlight kid
Whatever china is doing, they are not gonna improve, if they aren't willing to scout amazing talent beyond what they have. The rosters you see in franchising are recycled rosters/players that are constantly switching around teams. If china continues this path as a region, they are not making it out of top 5-6 as this has clearly been proven to fail in CSGO.
if they put china among the pacific region, nobody will notice kangkang. EDG are just like tier 3 team in pacific. they are just lucky that riot gave them separate region.
@@Jaded1221 yeah but you said they were a tier 3 team??!! I read that as they would lose to dfm or bld 💀 I do agree that they get 1st seed just because they are in a separate weak region. But EDG is still part of those top teams and Kangkang will definitely still get noticed

That scene of kang kang standing up to taunt T1 with the op animation will be forever ingrained in my head
The aura he got in that moment my god
this scene is animated in the mv of 2024 vct champion theme song this year
This aged like fine wine
LMAO
Fr
Who’s here after champs win 2024 and MVP? Damn he is fck insane
Nah! Can't believe King KangKang is now so out of his prime that Andy is making a video. Man he ain't retired he's gonna play at Champs 😭😭😭😭
Yup bro is like still a 20 yr old and already video title is abt his "prime"!💀.
He’s just having trouble actualizing, doesn’t mean his skills have fallen off yet. Also, Mongolian?
EDG can easily qualify in their ez winnie the pooh tournament

As of writing this comment, the actual PRIME Kangkang hit the server and outperformed everyone
Notice how he started winning once he went bald, it was holding him back
Who's here after EDG won Champions!!
I am getting ready for the argument of my life I haven't even started the video.
Ok he is still in his prime first of all. He is dominant in pro play its just his surroundings.
Yeah I get the video's just a highlight video but it's so funny it says "PRIME KANGKANG" like he's a washed 30yr old player lol

Now you have got another point agianst the OP......

Looking at this video right after EDG became world champions. Kang Kang is still the GOAT.
The fact this has popped up after watching the man drop 111 kills in a bo5 against Team Heretics and is the current holder of the MVP and champions trophy is wild, KangKang really had even more to offer
prime? bro hes still in it
100T was seen as the best americas team going into lock in after they had just recently 3-0d c9 at red bull homeground
Yeah they had seangares
Time for you to make another video about zmjjkk
I THINK NOW HE IS ON HIS PRIME!
Now he’s a world champ
this aged well
And yet here we are with these crazy results for edg...
It's sad but EDG got PRX & G2 in their group
8:44 if you followed our journey through you will know how insanely hype this moment is for every Chinese fan.
well this didnt age well
It aged quite well lmao
Bro esports is crazy cuz the guy it's still playing, it's still young, and he's past his prime 2 years after? 💀💀💀
For esports your prime is 20-21 ish its differ on game type tho but yeah

Bro is still playing you know 😭
banger video bro
Bros prime membership has been renewed
Now this didnt age well...
before valorant, kangkang was a crossfire player only 1 recorded match tho i think, but he was playing for a chinese team
Exactly I was thinking like
There’s no way this guy has not played other fps games other than valorant
No wonder he’s so cracked because crossfire is a hard game to play
He's still in his prime bro
I agree but he himself said he is not young anymore and that he can't hit shots like before b'coz his reaction time has become slow due to his age. It was a weird statement more as a excuse for him underperforming
Nope his prime is still to come I think
@@xexstartheyoutuber2424 nahh he himself admitted of him being past his prime
@@ShottFPS I still belive in him

Kangkang MVP of Valorant Champion 2024
I'm from China and watch a lot of kangkang's streaming. Actually, he was good at Overwatch and APEX, which are not that popular in China when he was old enough to sign a contract, so...
2:36 Wait, Life was part of EDG? He is now cooking in Fpx😮
Who is watching this after EDG won Champs Seoul 2024 🏆
not yet bro
@@LeafDaGoatOP was predicting future.....holy.....
🎉
They're the team to beat right nowwww
womp womp, finalists this year
Kang Kang was a product of his time kinda like other major players who fell off. He was good when certain agents were good. As the meta evolves, very few teams and players have consistently stayed at the top.
He is still in his prime isn't he?
And how they are world champion 🏆
now kangkang is top3 in champs and might win
he gonna win
Lmao....
The timing......
Kang Kang the goat.....
I have a question and I would love for you to answer, so does GearUP booster actually work? I have not tried it but I was thinking of it and I really don't want to get banned on val if it doesn't work
Good video keep it up!
The guy's got insane talents but yea, their region is quite new to the game compared to the others. He's got potential though
i see kangkang i click LFG :DDDDDDD
7:52 bro looks like gekko
HE JUST WON CHAMPS IN A GENERATIONAL 111 KILL GAME
And then history was made …
imho that pearl game vs navi in tokyo is the valorant version of nifty fify, arguably the best op show off ever
Bro was playing AWP like how KennyS was at his prime
@@enashimo chinese call kk “k god”, its like comparing him to kennys coz they used to call kennys “k god” too
now theyre in the upper semi final vs LEV...
they gonna win
If bro was playing in a region other than China, he would have got obliterated and people would have proceeded to call him washed like Yay.
wardell the orginial kangkang
Would love to see kk and wardell play together
KK MVP of Valorant Champion 2024
KangKang in across china kickoff, stage 1 and stage 2.
no. 1 acs
no. 1 kd
there is no official ratings but he’s certainly would be the no.1 rated chinese player, he’s still in his prime, it’s just that EDG have gotten a little worse
This was such a bad video timing wise. EDG are in the finals lmao.
if this is past his prime kang kang i'm immortal
8:54 sus ,he had to move kang kang's face away
start redoing this video lil bro
WAS* -> IS
aged like milk the last minute of the vid lmfao
This video made me grow six feet
1 season wonder
I'm a fan of him but calling it "PRIME" early on when it was just one international tournament when he dominated.
please add clips like bind gekko clutch against navi and other clips
I just dont understand 1 thing. How KangKang was playing Val if Val was banned in China???
Hm?
Val isn’t banned in China lol
The game is still there it just got released in 2023
What rumours have you heard?
That’s the wrong information
@@sleefy2343 it WAS banned. And China had official launch like 1,5 years ago. I guess he was playing on VPN.
PRX ❤️
For me personally one season player is nothing ( eg - demon1) , consistency matters and thats what aspas has always delivered so yea...
EDG is not a bad team they will destroy tier 1 team but not the top tier 1 team
Yall making this make it seem like hes 55 and done w esports like hes still on the team lol
I don’t remember people thinking it could go either way at lock-in with the 100T v EDG match, lots of people literally had 100T as favourites to win the tournament.
can he or any china team win Champs tho
aspas not here? nuh huh aint right
kangoat kang
1 minute and 2 views you fell off
womp womp change the title
Bro plzzzz bro stoooooop overrate a kiiid , he is good but he jas nothing to do with other opers primes , yay / cned / cryo/ marved / something .

"was" is insane... Guy is like 18... Relax bro
W2U2
if they put china among the pacific region, nobody will notice kangkang. EDG are just like tier 3 team in pacific. they are just lucky that riot gave them separate region.
EDG would be like top 4-6 of pacific rn if they were in pacific among the teams like RRQ TS TLN
@@relbuod6171 exactly bro. There are alot of good teams in pacific. The competition is tight there.
@@Jaded1221 yeah but you said they were a tier 3 team??!! I read that as they would lose to dfm or bld 💀
I do agree that they get 1st seed just because they are in a separate weak region. But EDG is still part of those top teams and Kangkang will definitely still get noticed
@@relbuod6171 maybe like zeta or rrq level. Either people will agree or not, EDG has the easiest route to major.
whats bro waffling about
Arguably the best opper in the world. Dude just kept repeeking
greatest op? Are aspas playing football? lol
Aspas is best player overall, but in terms of op prime kk is just unreal. Thats what aspas will tell you if you ask him.
Yes . If fans are more important than performance
I am better
overrated
lol
below mid player overhyped by braindead fans
I bet you're a yay fan
@zechs0 you're acting like yay isn't a world champions and was a top player in his time.
Hater trying his justify his hate lmao
What mean？😊
XD didn't age well. I can bet he just gave the best performance in a match in all of vct in the CHAMPS FINALS. GET A LIFE.
