Gekko is making a huge appearance in the 2024 meta. We saw him played by all 3 of the top teams at Masters Madrid and was a major factor in Sentinels winning their championship. Let's find out how his kit is completely changing the VCT.

I'm just happy that wingman is slowly eliminating the post plant spray and pray meta or the post plant viper molly setups. Makes the games much more exciting to watch
Well said we love lil bro
it does not really stop the spray and pray post plant as wingman always defuses on the center of the spike so he can be pinged and spammed, viper mollies yeah definitely
I don’t think it rly stops it tho. Wingman will always be directly above the spike. But more importantly the post plant spraying meta is very site dependent. Even tho Pearl was removed, there are still some sites such as sunset B that are very spray and pray heavy
For all the people that did not watch the video or the last VCT, the reason wingman aids in eliminating the spam on post plans is because it allows players to take positions in a man advantage to punish players peeking out to shoot wingman.
That's why it's so helpful and meta on Icebox and Sunset, both maps with plant sites which traditionally have always had the play off and spam/until the bomb approach for post plant.
I agree it's rare to see wingman fully defuse the spike, but getting it halfed without losing a player is a huge difference maker.

I love how the community collectively calls Wingman, Little bro now
Ofc, seeing tarik in pro play is super exciting
Aziz is funny asf too
personally i prefer little man 🤣 it's all great tho, i love em all
The analysis at 4:30 is very well done and explained throughly
“Position is everything in Val”WHEN YOU CAN AIM
If you can’t aim, you’re not going to be a pro anyways. Even the worst t1 pro has better aim than 95% of the playerbase.
@@matthewk.5118even that’s being generous, like 99.9% is saying that most radiants and immo 3s have better aim than a t1 pro which just isn’t true, at that high of a level everyone has cracked aim so the finer details come into play significantly morr
@@pumpkinvgcFenis 😔
@@pumpkinvgclol thats pretty much true, most pros actually focus on their Macro skills cause other pros wont even give you a chance to make a hero play cause of team work and how they use their brain, theyre not like you lol they actually use their IQ, so most pros dont practice their aim that much anymore, while Radiants and Immortal games are not that strategic so good aimers bloom more.
Perfect example of this is Tenz, he just whiffs most of his shots when hes supposed to be one of the best aimers of the game, You can also just see highlight plays with pretty good aimers, Tenz, Demon1, Aspas etc. , not to mention Aces shouldnt be possible if everyone in the pro scene has godlike aim, but thats not the case.
So no youre just plain wrong. Youre not that guy.
@@BatMandor lol, avg in real life?😂 most "avg in real life" good game sense players are actually just lazy af irl, then found passion in Valorant. You cant have good game sense with low iq🤣 if u mean by "game sense" is having a godlike aim or a one trick reyna then ig ure right, reyna users are some of the lowest iq players anyway, partnered with your comment.
Please do another agent vodeo on yoru! Hes been seeing a lot more play recently than before and i always love your unique well thought out perspective on these types of metas
Great video!
I will definitely look out for it in future games and tournaments. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hoo boy I'm early, but Gekko really is turning out to be such an interesting character.
Don’t tell sliggy about how good wingman is.
I really appreciate these breakdowns!!! You explain things so clearly!
at 9:50 sentinels didnt use any util to deny the plant like you said. the spike hadnt even been tapped and their fast flood was based off of hearing wingman's footsteps. its still advantageous to flood when wingman is planting because sometimes you can still catch a player offguard (e.g. a KJ putting mollies on bomb, a gekko picking up dizzy/thrash etc)
You're right in that they didn't necessarily flood thinking it was a player planting, but it still shows why flooding is much less advantageous and risky
gekko is one of my all-time favorite character additions in any game, so im so glad he's meta right now
Loud was using gekko when he first launched. And them they stop using. Now they are having problems with gekkos
why does gekko look like the chameleon in kung fu panda 4 in the thumbnail
wow this is the best video ever. great job! you are da goat 🐐
LIL BRO FOR THE CARRY
teets x platoon?
They forgot the other bonus of lil bro, he's so damn cute.
How do you think clove could change the pro meta? Itd be interesting to see your take.
Only thing is fix the mollys not hurting wingman just a cringe interaction
the viper molly hurts wingman but just not fast enough to stop the defuse or plant. and all other mollys destroy wingman
@@kevinkujo318 Oh
Everytime I jokingly say to myself in my ranked games "this agent" will be meta, said agent becomes meta in pro play.
I feel like the post plant stats of gekko might be affected by gekko mirror matchups. maybe a better stat to highlight the advantages of gekko, is the round win % of non-mirror matchups.
its really funny how everyone thought he was trash on launch. they reduced the flash activation delay, made pickups faster, and boom - every other team plays him
Love that my Hispanic king is getting his time in VCT! Good stuff Platoon.
Maybe you can make a video on how the new agent clove can affect the meta, it would be interesting and enjoyable.
lil bro essentially turns the game 6v5, really curious how they're going to balance in the future. if wingman is the character's primary identity and is kept the same, do you think gekko would still be viable if the rest of his abilities were hypothetically trash?
His other abilities are super team dependent so his overall skill cap is really high. He's gonna be one of those characters that's insane in top level pro play but still hard to get easy value out of in ranked, so Riot will probably have a hard time balancing him lol
I believe that after Sentinels played against PRX in AVL, they noticed the way they played gekko is just so creative especially the flash. So they got rid of Fade on Sunset then bring in Gekko
Yup, Apparently sentinels were getting dogged on in scrims against PRX on sunset so they just stole their comp, kaplan confirmed this
amazing video, you need more subs and views
Nice break down but the same thing happend when Viper was really OP i dont see other change here than a stronger Viper.
Do you think they'll nerf wingman? I don't think a hard nerf is warranted but there's something's that will probably be changed like having mollies affect wingman.
I don't think they'll nerf him much but may change the molly interaction! Gekko has a huge skill ceiling and requires amazing teamwork to get good use out of his kit.
NRG catching strays out here lmao
This current initiator Meta is probably the most balanced so far. All characters are essential in 1 or 2 maps and some like Breach have space in different team playstyles.
Nah not really, I feel like Sova is starting to be the ghost like even if they bring back pearl, fracture and haven to the map pool, no one will use Sova.
Lil bro carried Sen's icebox and bind XD all the util dump but bro still pushes on!
Gekko is not the only one that is really good at sunset the kay/o literally has a unbreakable knife
So what you're saying is... nerf Chamber. Got it.
The last 2 chamber mains in the whole world: Ah shit. Here we go again.
guys is exitlag safe to use for valorant or will you get banned for using it?
FIRST PLATOON!
how does this affect C9 Platoon??
With gekko we are playing 6v5 😅😅😅
GOAT
street never forget CGRS gekko
prx invented it, sen mastered it
PRX always invent new meta but somehow the other team was the one who able to mastered it. the same happened to Yoru meta, dont get me wrong Forsaken is STILL arguably the best yoru in the scene but for overall setup for utilizing Yoru PRX may not be the best.
prolly the reason why PRX wasn't able to mastered it because they play around forsaken's ability to flex literally any agent in the game making them more unpredictable.
i dont get why you guys pay for scams like exitlag, they dont work.
gekko is the best agent since kayo?
Nerf incoming 😔
gekkos getting a huge nerf alright
Utilities are just insane
Flash pinpoints direction of target
Yellow guy plants and defuse and chases after enemies
Molly is just Molly, but clears out certain corners.
Ult detains
And all Utica can be reused???? Hello needs a major nerf.
Well, duh, it's 6 v 5 and you have multiple Pokémon in a tactical shooting game.
gekko nerf 2 months from now
Fair point, nerf chamber
Ngl i feel like it's the sky nerfs that forced the gekko meta
CGRS the eye opener 🤣🤣
New video when?
platoon i'm back and more thirsty than ever. please speak more in your videos so i can hear those wonderful vocals 😩
You down bad as hell damn
lets go Aziz ✌️🔥
I looked up that sponsor cause that sounded like complete BS, turns out, yeah it probably is from the reviews, and it seems like it might be a scam too with how suspicious they are with their subscription service.
cgrs was ahead of the meta
Exitlag makes my ping go higher
Don't hate on it. It's not for everyone. Personally it did help me tremendously. Dropped my ping from 120 to 80. It is situational for sure
@@taaronlavicky413 my ping was on 34 and when i use exitlag it goes up 64
If your ping is already low or have already good connection to the game server then connecting to exitlag server and then to the game server then of course will increase your ping. If you have constant high ping and/or ping spike, connecting to exitlag server will optimise the connection => lower ping and smoother connection.
Will it result in a ban in valorant if you use exit lag?
This video has been reported by Sliggy 😂
what rank are you?
gekko nerf incoming
bruh this vid sucks please make more
I love Gekko, but they should make Dizzy unbreakable or at least increase flash speed
would’ve been possible if gekko saw no pro play
Ur asking for ANOTHER gekko buff??
@@censaria1263 I mean they made Skye's bird unkillable
@@hanzjerichogarabiles5198 yes but they also nerfed her pop flash in the same patch
@@censaria1263 they should do it something like that as well
