Which play was your favorite? (Don't forget to drop a like, comment, and subscribe - it helps us out a lot!) Edit: PART 2 HERE: th-cam.com/video/zICTuOUh2MI/w-d-xo.html
nah the full face cutaways was really distracting when I'm trying to focus on the map. It just shifts the focus away from understanding the player positions to watching his face.
Play 11. I'm gonna argue that aim is "mechanical skill", and brain is "game sense." those duels weren't outsmarting the enemies, he fucking diffed them in each and every single duel in all of the aim battle.
What a great video!! Even though it’s not your usual “style” or “format” you made it engaging and your own. I didn’t feel like we were just doing the usual cringe react channel stuff
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.
Is this not a face reveal? And if it is why are not more comments about that? Btw you look like the personification is voice doesn't match face😂 jist kidding but you look amazing
im glad you break these down very well you have helped me improve gamesense and aim wise and in general, also very glad Riot is giving respect to big brain palys and not just putting flashy aim clips. i really enjoy your breakdowns of pro matches and im glad that you are also branching out to different types of breaking down stuff, God bless and keep up the good work!
Now I understand why his channel is so good. At first, I thought this has got to be an aim game but after listening to his analysis I changed my mind completely. His skill is frightening.
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.
LOL okok I cooked a bit for this one. Basically, I was more impressed by his decision-making/positioning, which enabled him to isolate four 1v1's. But deciding aim vs brains for this round was definitely the toughest haha
i think play 10 was brain those were super easy op shots a silver could hit all those no way that can be aim he reacted perfectly after each kill and did well with how he peeked to isolate 1v1s honestly that one was more how terribly the enemies played it not sure why sova was running with knife ut a main when his teammate died to op
Damn the production value on these videos has massively improved, props to the team! Also does anyone know where the sound clip that plays after he reveals aim or brain is from? (8:4510:34)
while yes, brains were absolutly necessary for that last clip, i feel like he still needed really good aim to make that transfer between shots, so I'd actually give that last clip more to aim than brain
but if you dont have a good aim.. no matter how good you read the map is.. if you spot them and wasnt able to kill (via good aim of course) everything is nothing. awesome video btw very informative.
My opinion: Play 11 is way more aim than brain The way he won that is by slipping by the defenders and getting a freebie on Cypher Breach missed his shot and got out aimed Then because of the dog and spiketap they knew he was close to elbow The timing of his peek was perfect since he tapped the spike at 31sec and peeked at 27sec (4sec) They should have been ready for a peek like what he did though but sky got caught off guard while raze was switching weapons (miscomms) Nice hold by him but should have been expected by raze My take is he won it not because he made a big brain play but because of a bit of luck, crisp aim and mistakes by the defenders. Usually you are right, it is hard to isolate 4 1vs1s at that level but in this clip he got them handed to him. TLDR: 1st kill free, 2nd aim, 3rd enemy mistake, 4th aim/enemy mistake
Play 11 should have been aim. Nobody didnt isolate 1v1s he just shot cypher, did a full 180 and you can see breach whiffing the trade. Then raze doesnt go for the skye trade. It was a bad play from giantz and nobody just punished them by outaiming.
Hey love ure videos but personally I don't like ure face being there, it's distracting and blocks out the players name which I'm always looking at. Just some constructive critiscm
i will never get tired of Nobody jokes just cracks me up whenever i hear his name Nobody won that round ? why not? one team should win a round ? was it a draw? why didnt anybody win? nobody saw him switch out the op for a gun but we all saw him? what does he means nobody saw him ? its literally right there on the screen? is he my silver teammate
I love how you seperate which plays required strategy and which plays required great aim. It shows which players are mechanically gifted and which are just smarter.
Keep in mind that we're only looking at these specific plays and challenging ourselves to choose one or the other. Pro players definitely have both aim and brains haha
Love the video as always! But in the nicest way possible I feel like the face cams just aren't needed. Sometimes they just distract from what's happening on screen. Nothing wrong with trying something new, but I do prefer the format of your older videos to be completely honest.
Noted! My philosophy from the very start has always been to make the best content possible for you guys. And I had the same opinion, which was that facecams distracts from the content (esp for analysis-type content). So that's why my breakdowns so far have been facecam-less. But for this new format we're testing, I actually think facecam Enhances the experience, which is why we took this step to experiment with facecam. So don't worry, my usual pro breakdowns will continue to be facecam-less. But I do have a bunch of other ideas outside of breakdowns that I wanna explore - and those might require a bit more of a personal touch :)
For me personally, the small circle for facecam when you are showing the strat is kinda distracting for me. The one where your face is bigger and breakdown the play again is ok tho.
i disagree with play 11 because even if i did exactly what nobody did i would probably still lose the round, granted, i would probably lose most of them anyway, but this one more so

mine was personally play #8
Finally back after a eternity
A Airen vid soon ??? 😱
@@AirenYT Same here. Just this play unlocked to many posibilities in my head in desperate rounds
Com was my favourite player on 2023 eg. So clutch fr
The breakdowns are nice and all, but effects and editing is on whole another level
haha thank you! We spent a lot of time on this one, so I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
@@AirenYTSpeaking of editing, are you guys hiring any new editors soon? I am interested in trying out!
@@s6kirodon’t look like they need editors honestly
nah the full face cutaways was really distracting when I'm trying to focus on the map. It just shifts the focus away from understanding the player positions to watching his face.
@@AirenYT W content creator
com's hella breiny for that play!!
Please make more vids like this this was gas 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
wakey wakey, Airen uploads new banger video
!!!! >:D
@@AirenYT your content is informative, entertaining as well as creative. I learn different big brain moments from your breakdown / analysis.
Your videos are very cool man good job
yooo i love this video!!
Play 11. I'm gonna argue that aim is "mechanical skill", and brain is "game sense."
those duels weren't outsmarting the enemies, he fucking diffed them in each and every single duel in all of the aim battle.
I think you're onto something LOL
What a great video!! Even though it’s not your usual “style” or “format” you made it engaging and your own. I didn’t feel like we were just doing the usual cringe react channel stuff
ahh thank you! We poured a ton of hours into crafting this video to make it work, so I'm glad you're enjoying it
It was so good!! I really hope you do more like it in the future!@@AirenYT
I love that you are really pushing this idea of "brain" plays because people tend to neglect everything that isnt just an "aimlabs routine clip".
yep there's generally a lot more to high level play than meets the eye! I'm happy I'm able to share a glimpse of that in this video haha
Airen facecam is something i didnt know i needed lmao. Amazing vid man!
Any day gets better when airen uploads!!
fr love him so much
Congrats on 200k subscribers! Each one is deserved and I'm sure you'll gain many more with your quality content
i’m still shocked you don’t have more subscribers, the quality of the videos is phenomenal
The old thumbnail was better imo
You're doing us dirty by making us wait for part 2 when it's so good to watch 😅😂
HAHA if it makes it any better, part 2 will be even better than part 1. It'll be worth the wait ;D
@@AirenYT LET'S GOOOOOO!
so happy to see another of you videos, like always great content!
Thank you!! Hope you enjoy :)

LMAO “The aim streak is starting strong” next play is COM 💀
💀
OMG Daddy Airen uploaded🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉
Now I understand why his channel is so good. At first, I thought this has got to be an aim game but after listening to his analysis I changed my mind completely. His skill is frightening.
Even Potter, EG's coach, was baffled by that COM play 😭
Airen would you do analyses of prx vs sentinels?
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.
4:17 'because it's-'
of course its Kangkang
LMAO glad we're on the same page 🤣
I like the new style. Your face helps make some of the discussion that needs less visuals, flow a lot nicer.
Wait so for nobody’s clip, aim mechanics = brain?😭😭
LOL okok I cooked a bit for this one. Basically, I was more impressed by his decision-making/positioning, which enabled him to isolate four 1v1's. But deciding aim vs brains for this round was definitely the toughest haha
Where do u gets all these soundtracks
BABE WAKE UP AIREN UPLOADED!!!!
IT'S TIMEE
Great video btw. Putting your face in your videos gives it more brand power
This was so hype gjjj
Nobody really clutched up that 11th place clip don't you think?
By far the besr valorant content on youtube, probaly the best fps content
The fact reveal. Also why do you look exactly how I thought you would
tbh i dont like the face cam, the full camera shots are fine, but no face cam
Evil genius is overrated
I appreciate you doing something a bit different, I liked this video alot
First time watching ur vid.... ILY man
Thank you!!
Very entertaining video, even at 5 AM
Many of the comments already pointed it out, but the video has such great production value. Well done! 👏
i think play 10 was brain
those were super easy op shots a silver could hit all those no way that can be aim
he reacted perfectly after each kill and did well with how he peeked to isolate 1v1s
honestly that one was more how terribly the enemies played it not sure why sova was running with knife ut a main when his teammate died to op
You simply can't show how good COM's clutch is with just a montage. How would anyone expect you to wrap heaven from main
10 minutes ago? Last time I was this early, Prx only went Hooka
haha welcome welcome
Bro's yellow teeth proves that he's a true gamer
Damn the production value on these videos has massively improved, props to the team! Also does anyone know where the sound clip that plays after he reveals aim or brain is from? (8:45 10:34)
i think it might just be crowd noises fading out

:)
oh my goodness no views? 😱
you're here early :)
It’s cool to see your face now bro 😎
Your videos always make my day❤❤❤

6:58 as a clash royale player for 7 years im just thinking at this second "ain't no way jingg gonna pull out a fucking hog rider to retake a site"
You and teets r my best valorant channels!
babe wake up Airen facecam vid reveal 😮😮😮
It's a different format than usual, hope you like it!
but if you dont have a good aim.. no matter how good you read the map is.. if you spot them and wasnt able to kill (via good aim of course) everything is nothing.
awesome video btw very informative.
bro that paper x vs nrg fight in bind had SOOO many crazy plays its funny
especially the hooka flood paper x made as well
Back after eternity
Damn bro, u look so good!
first
congrats on first :)
My opinion:
Play 11 is way more aim than brain
The way he won that is by slipping by the defenders and getting a freebie on Cypher
Breach missed his shot and got out aimed
Then because of the dog and spiketap they knew he was close to elbow
The timing of his peek was perfect since he tapped the spike at 31sec and peeked at 27sec (4sec)
They should have been ready for a peek like what he did though but sky got caught off guard while raze was switching weapons (miscomms)
Nice hold by him but should have been expected by raze
My take is he won it not because he made a big brain play but because of a bit of luck, crisp aim and mistakes by the defenders. Usually you are right, it is hard to isolate 4 1vs1s at that level but in this clip he got them handed to him.
TLDR: 1st kill free, 2nd aim, 3rd enemy mistake, 4th aim/enemy mistake

sss+ qualiy content! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
haha I appreciate the kind words!!
Ngl, i miss all the OG teams like TSM. Broo i miss the og team too, Wardell, Subroza, Hazed, Cutler, Drone.....
i will never get tired of Nobody jokes
just cracks me up whenever i hear his name
Nobody won that round ? why not? one team should win a round ? was it a draw? why didnt anybody win?
nobody saw him switch out the op for a gun but we all saw him? what does he means nobody saw him ? its literally right there on the screen? is he my silver teammate
the quality of these vids are actualy insane
This video is crazy! So happy I tuned into the stream you did as well.
thank you! glad you're enjoying your time here :)
WAKE UP AIREN UPLOADED
the editing at the start is crazy
C'mon dude last one was obv aim coz thinking of doin a rotate to go heaven is thinkable but not swinging in a V to kill both aint easy at all

Best Valorant game reviewer.☝🏻
Thank you!
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
oh my another great video is this a face reveal?
Technically not, but it IS the first official Valorant facecam content since I started doing breakdowns!
amazing video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo I love this style of video
This was so interesting :D
is it technically a face reveal?
Technically not, but basically yes haha
Damn, 420 Deaths, 69 losses. Been on those hard times, buddy
it is aim.
or is it brains?
@@AirenYT in my lobbies it's none
This was a really good video! I hope you make more of this
watching the s0m and kk clips live were the epitome of butt clenching
I edged to this
Your videos just keep getting better ❤
Thank you!!
The real question is how do I get smarter at outbraining Im dumb af
i miss u bro second🎉
missed you too
I love how you seperate which plays required strategy and which plays required great aim. It shows which players are mechanically gifted and which are just smarter.

if had good aim i would probably be diamond or ascendant(i am gold)
