A difficult obstacle to overcome.
Wang “Jinggg” Jing Jie finished first on the scoreboard for his squad throughout the entirety of the series. He did so by achieving a 54/52/18 KDA and a 251 Average Combat Score (ACS) across three different agents while playing three distinct maps.
Paper Rex started off their campaign for the Valorant Champions 2022 with an exciting 2-1 victory over the Chinese team Edward Gaming.
Despite the fact that PRX did not introduce a very original agent composition for their first map, Pearl, they were still able to demonstrate some truly original hijinks with Jinggg on the level Raze. In Round 17, EDG was completely halted in their tracks by a Showstopper ultimate that came tumbling down from the heavens.
EDG failed to anticipate Jinggg’s Showstopper
EDG were preparing themselves for a push down on the B Ramp despite having only Sheriffs and Guardians as their purchase. The site was sliced diagonally in half by Wan “CHICHOO” Shun Zhi’s Viper Toxic Screen, which made room for EDG to move further up B Main.
However, by setting off the Chamber Trademark trap that Jason “f0rsakeN” Susanto had set up at B Main, they provided Jinggg with all of the information that he required. In order to have a better look at CHICHOO, who was on the opposite side of the wall, he used his ultimate ability, “Showstopper,” to fling himself into the air from the top of the box at B Link.
The Showstopper rocket was successful in hitting its target, which removed EDG’s Viper from the competition and threw their strategy for the game completely off track. EDG were forced to engage in aim duels with their lesser weapons because Viper’s wall was no longer protecting them, and Paper Rex quickly ended the round.
This Showstopper setup also appears to have the ability to pick up several kills when opponents are running down B Main, which is something to keep in mind if you’re planning to use a similar strategy in your ranked games. The fact that your adversaries won’t anticipate your rocket coming from their right side makes it that much more difficult for them to avoid getting hit by it, which is an added advantage.
You will, however, need information from utilities such as Chamber’s and Cypher’s traps, or a teammate that is peeking, in order to determine when the appropriate time is to fire your weapon.
