Pick Yoru, Win Anyway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2022
- Yoru is one of Valorant’s worst agents.
There are teams that have tried to make him work - but nobody ever managed to succeed with the agent.
But there was one team who saw Yoru’s true potential.
One player who managed to do the impossible - and win with Yoru.

This is why I love PRX. They have always been a team to push what could be meta. They were also one of the first to experiment with neon too, and with time I am sure they will keep this up as Valorant progresses.
They play in tournaments like they’re on SEA ranked servers and some of these teams just can’t keep up with them. They might not be the “best” team out there, but definitely the most fun to watch.
@@a.w_. today they shit on fntc, let see how they play againts optic, i hope we got such a fun match
@@bbzbabus Status update on the Optic match, They didn't play Yoru on Bind. They lost Bind. They still win anyways
status update, they lost against fpx, they trolled breeze hard lol
@@qrae_qrae6629 they may have trolled, but that 5 pick troll almost was pulled off with the highest stakes. You know it would have been a whole different game if they had one or two meta picks there
I love you the guy that actually knows what he is talking about
Bro wtf
sorry but no one like that exists within the score esports, all clueless waffling. Forsaken is a god with a rifle he could have played pheonix during this series and still absolutely rolled
@@linusbrind7851 cap
@@linusbrind7851 yea forsaken is a monster but yoru also is only good when you know how to use him like forsaken showed
@@linusbrind7851 thats a case of bad agent, good player
I love that this is finally being covered. 5v5 Yoru is almost impossible, that is, unless u have a team that can support you well. The fast repositions, his flashes (far from the worse, if anyt, just unique) and his ability to create chaos is insane. If ure read by the enemy, uve lost. But pair it with good game knowledge/sense and gunplay and this character has the highest outplay potential. He's by far my favourite character to play in high elo
I'm low elo and I can confirm this. If the enemy knows what I'm doing, then I'm screwed, but working around them and creating new strats to be unpredictable is so much fun.
Yoru is to me, is an agent built to flank and confuse
Yoru just is in a league of its own if a smart player plays him, for his ability to trick enemies is what makes him strong
Unfortunately in lower elo it rarely works, since they camp his tp, ignore the fake tps since in low elo they have no clue of what audio cues are, and in general tend to play brainless to kill him, not to mention basically nobody knows how to play him well, so unless you’re high elo he’s kind of useless even if you’re really smart
Benkai story in a nutshell:
"How we tried to be the funniest team in Valorant, and ending up as one of the strongest team?!?! Chaos all the way baby !!!!"
N winning zero trophy baby.
@@souravjain997 i said "one" of the strongest, not the most successful or "the strongest" necessarily. Fnatic, fpx also haven't won anythin in valorant, but that doesn't mean they aren't recognized in the world stage.
@@maestroplay6563 he just hate SEA shining over India lmao
@@amicarmensandiego7313 LMFAOOO SEA > INDIA also india player gtfo our sea server ur ruining our game
@@souravjain997 tell ur best india team in history, global esport to winning APAC kid
7:06 forsaken didn’t just turn around to turn around he wanted to dodge his own flash. it’s a weird thing with the ult where if a flash is thrown as you try to unult either the flash will not be thrown or the unult will not happen. This was caused due to a “bug fix” to try to prevent the infamous instant pullout as well as other flash animation cancels but now just plagues the yoru player base.
God I fucking hate when that happens, LET ME DO A FLASH EXIT PROPERLY DAMN IT
Happened to me way more than I like to admit. Thankfully, didn't run to that issue since the latest patch but it could still very well happen when it actually matters
To play jett or raze, you need instinct
To play yoru, you need to have brain and remember the lineup, also mindgames
Lineup? You mean like where the tp will end up to?
@@asaifaji4490 yes
True
@@asaifaji4490 yea, forsaken use lineup
@@asaifaji4490 flash lineups and tp lineups flash lineups are the most op tho
I love forsaken cause he really doesnt let other players influence his playstyle, he has a very unique playstyle compared to other duelists and picks the weirder agents then absolutely smashes the enemy with it. Not to mention the fact that he represents us high sensitivity players that it's possible to be insane while playing on a sens that probably 90% of the community thinks it's ridiculous to play with.
word.bak intensifies
What's his sens and DPI?
@@90enemies 800 dpi n 0.712 I believe
@@Oggyyval Oh, I see. Thanks.
I was...expecting something more drastic, than just standard DPI and slightly higher sens.
@@90enemies that's not slightly at all, he's like one of the highest in the pro play scene bro
lmao the moment i saw the title i knew exactly who yall were talking about. Forsaken is ridiculously smart. Being able to use yoru like he does is no easy task. Also respect to his team playing around him. Rooting for PRX to win big with this roster.
I mean F0rsakeN plays Yoru, Reyna, and Neon quite a lot. I think it's safe to say that "meta" doesn't mean anything to him.
Their game vs GLD was probably the most entertaining game ever in VCT, especially the 2nd map.
Not reyna. Jingg plays Reyna (and Jingg). F0rsaken plays Jett, Neon, Yoru, and Chamber
@@maestroplay6563 He does play reyna I wasn't specifically referring to pro, he plays a lot of reyna in comp.
@@IOwnKazakhstan still.not.enough to win master.
@@souravjain997 what prx did to you omg 😭
@@souravjain997 and u didnt even win anything and probably a hardstuck iron
The only time the name "Forsaken" is actually seen in positive light (yes looking at you CSGO), the man just can't be stopped it seems when he plays Yoru. He knows the read from the enemy very well, and sometimes despite people saying that Yoru only works on Bind and Paper Rex made it looked easy, I always thought and wonder if there's a chance that just MAYBE Yoru can be seriously deadly in other maps as well from the potential that Paper Rex as a whole and Forsaken specifically has demonstrated. Truly proud of this team for repping ASEAN at the world stage in a major. Love from Vietnam.
They're based, and they made me a fan from the other side o the world
Đông lào
People forget yoru isn’t meant to top frag he’s meant to create complete and under chaos, never make the same plays and keep the enemies always guessing and if he does that then he can pull some nutty plays
Remember that in beta, people thought Jett was trash
true
yoru bind is almost always get picked in APAC like how neon is always get picked in fracture in other regions. yoru is really really good in bind, u buy time, keep the enemies doubt for fakes, etc..
APAC is really where yoru thrives, specifically, as you said, in bind. I really think in a couple of months the meta of bind will shift from raze to yoru in other regions just because he's that good in bind, like how raze was the meta pick for fracture and then suddenly neon rocks the world
@@rycegabrielmajor9847 he rocks on breeze instead of bind as of now
Yoru is probably the most chaotic and confusing agent in the game, but If you learn him, he’s insane
Alot of the time i think players blame it on the agent but i think, its the style in which you play them is what can either make or break a match. All agents in themselves are good, you just need to find the right playstyle for them.
Agreed. Teams like fnatic and drx would not find much use from yoru. Prx is literally the haven for deulists. They can make any deulist work.
Straight Facts cuz people nowadays people will say "this agent is trash" but for me i always think that everyone is good if you know how that agent works. When I first saw Yoru's kit i just dgaf and just say huh that's how he works? okay he's fine tbh.
i love that all of the team can shine like they all can do great on their own if they have to
Enemy team: **picks yoru** **wins**
My team: **picks yoru** **throws, grief, whiffs and dies early**
Yoru is actualy very good in low elo where comms are bad enemy gets very confused very fast
yoru is also good in high elo where everyone actually has ears and falls for fake tps
@@thunderchungus9971 the point of yoru is to fake people everytime abd when you actually tp they start to ignore your tp xd
"If you can't be remembered as the best team, you might as well be remembered as the funniest."
I live by this. I'm hot garbage at comp, but I always try to make my teammates laugh.
I'm just gonna say this, the problem with yoru isn't that he's a bad agent. The problem is that he's listed as a duelist when in reality he is literally just an initiator.
thats also not true. Yorus greeat for entrying, and thats the only job of a duelist. Yoru is a hybrid, and if u just stick agents in strict categories, the game gets boring insanely fast.
you're wrong, the purpose of an initiator is to gather info, look at skye for example, she has her dog, sova, drone, kayo, knife. What does yoru have? nothing for info gathering, sure he has his clone but if enemies dont shoot it = no info gathered, he does have flashes which some initiators do as well but it doesn't make him an initiator
Initiators have recon abilities (except for breach). He’s def a duelist
nothing in yoru's kit is able to safely gather info without exposing yourself too much which is a key part of initiators
Yoru's kit is made to create space although he is by far not the best duelist to do so, he tps and the enemies focus on him when entering site = making space, just like a jett dashing in to cause a distraction
you cant tell me picking yoru in a world championship and trolling your enemys isnt just a gigachad move
prx is just good vibes win you games personified
+ its elimination game
@@gilangrdc nobody needs a spike
I just think that Yoru has the most outplay potential out of all the agents, and this video is showing us just a guy who managed to only "scratch the jar". We have no idea how much better would be a pro player who commits to this agent. This is just INSANE.
PRX go to lower bracket APAC qualifier just on purpose to beat Bleed eSports for fun 🤣
Forsaken was my junior in middle school, i remembered him as a csgo player at that time. Looking at him becoming one of the best Valorant pro player really makes me proud of him.
As of today they
faced Fnatic And
won with 2-0, There First map was Ascent and last was bind which Jingg and Forsaken went insane
Yoru is such a fun agent to play, probably more fun than any meta agents in the pool and if you play him right you get rewarded for it and it feels so good
“Barely anyone plays him”
One in every single one of my ranked matches
People are trash talking yoru because hes complicated when hes an agent that requires alot of thinking to get the hang of, Which is why if your yoru play succeeded you either got lucky or big brain or your enemies are just pure trippin
PRX reminds me of the Chengdu Hunters in OWL. Breaking the meta with fun characters
YAY, Daniel Rosen is back from his full metal tours
So, according to me duelist like Jett,Raze and Reyna you need instinct and some decent aim but with Yoru and Pheonix, if you can remember their lineups like where the Yoru tp or flash will go and where will phoenix molly will go or how to properly throw his flash, you can then outsmart almost anyone on your level.
I have seen some busted Yoru and Phoenix users in Immo 1 like that Yoru was everywhere with his tp, he was always behind us or outsmarting us with his fake tp's and clones.
So, in my eyes every agent is good and has a completely different playstyle and no agent is bad.
I'd put Raze and Neon on another category; the movement centric duelists. You don't need to have the sickest aim on them, but movement will get you very far with them. Jett and Reyna are by far the most basic, aim centric ones.
Yoru isn't that bad, he isn't even worse when compared to jett. Yoru just have the highest skill floor with an even higher skill ceiling than any agent in valorant.
Hes really good in ranked in fact, people are just scared to pick him up cause hes probably the second hardest agent in the game to pick up and be really good on apart from Cypher.
I mean he still has 0% in Masters
Wouldn't say that highest skill ceiling, cuz knowing every sova lineup ever is definitely a lot more difficult to achieve
@@OfficialKman5625 cause paper rex didnt play bind yet lol. plus its mainly due to raze being straight op right now with fade as well, the entire meta is building around fade raze combos. Completely off topic, this also sucks for Optic, cause Optics old comp is being overshadowed by the fade raze comp similar to yoru is right now. Optic doesnt feel comfortable on the new comp which is understandable, cause its not a style optic likes to play.
Cap
Goddamn this channel is so good. Such a well crafted video , the background music hit the whole way through , good job
This makes me love PRX even more!
As yoru main i'm so proud of him
“Man yoru is one of my favourite agents to play let’s see what this video is about!”
“YORU IS ONE OF VALORANTS WORST AGENTS”
“😫”
All yoru main: ಠಗಠ
I've been a yoru main since he came out and he is immensely underrated. Yeah he's hard, but if you can think ahead, you can pull off some INSANE stuff.
The thing with yoru is, you need a significant amount of knowledge on the agent, and map you're playing on in contrast to other agents, which don't need as much mastery to fully bring out potential, or in this case, usability.
If anyone could make an agent work in VCT it would be Paperex. No one else
Why cant they win any master yet ??
@@souravjain997 bro's a hater 💀
@@souravjain997 Who shat in your cereal dude?
neon works on fracture by optic though
Gonna describe PRX as this:
“Fuck around to find out”
Feels good been yoru since day one knew our time would come
I would love it, if you made a video about the recent Algs Championship in Raleigh. It was such a hype tourney and I think Apex e-sports in general is really underated.
Finally i can play yoru with confidence
Love watching PRX
g2: picks bind
*doom music starts playing*
Yoru is just one of those characters that are hard asf, but can yield a fuck ton of results when used properly
"doesnt he have a belt? oh he doesnt care about the belt!" is literally prx's playstyle
the interviem scenes r so cute idk why
Reminds me of the DOTA2 Techies strategy that Aui_2000 used with EG.
Something so outside the box that most people didn't think of it as viable yet in the hands of a madman, it comes to life.
I never thought I would see a thescoreesports video on a SEA team... especially on an Indonesian (f0rsaken) and partially on a Singaporean (Benkai) player
very fitting the man's gamer tag is forsaken as well lol
Like how 0:28 syncs up with the music
paper rex are one of my fav teams they can make basically any comp work
honest to god i actually like yorus play style with his decoys and tp's i always get my ones and 2s and often times can clutch thanks to his mind game util
I’ve mained yoru since he came out and I’m cosplaying as him for haloween!
i should play yoru more since i'm a casual player i can have fun messing around
The madlads put forsaken in another clip
“If we can’t be remembered as the best team, at least we can be remembered as the funniest team”
Gigachad words before demolishing masters Copenhagen
That game was basically lore yoru
The forsaken that doesn’t have word.exe
theScore still lives in 2021. Yoru has been very strong albeit outshined by Champer since the buff at the beginning of 2022.
just in case every once in a while riot should check his computer for Word.exe
And here we are they finished 2. in Copenhagen and went to all 5 maps against the best team in the world and almost won with the weirdest teamcomp anyone has ever seen in pro play but they kinda made it work
Also they won with reyn against drx
Really love how they show you that every agent CAN be good in the right hands with the right team
Hoping to see them win champs with a weird comp because I just hope that this would show other team that it’s truely possible to play aggressive with weird agents and still win
Maybe other pro teams would finally stop playing that boring default stuff every round nd try smth new
It will be cool if you can control the decoy like other flashes
Ever since seeing good Yoru plays against enemies in ranked, I always thought why he's not picked in pro play since in concept and plan he would be a very viable and important agent. I haven't played him so I thought the agent was really busted until forsaken. It really is upon the player on how they use the agent like grim and flow with sage plays.
Bro I’m not gonna lie i watched a zip tie video and I understood yoru and became good
the way benkai used smite phantom
Honestly, prx can make any deulist work. Its the way they play. Teams like fnatic and drx, teams more reliant on executes, will find it very difficult
bro u know what's funny, since yoru comes out, i found that yoru was soooo much fun to play. and i played him since iron 3. now im plat 2 using literally only yoru. i think the pro player just dont know how to use yoru. i wish players like red, ziptie, eggster play in vct. it would be soo much fun.
activated YORU's Ultra Instinct, oh shit you are ded as bad.
Now we need a video on DRX, the perpetual chokers
i feel like Yoru as an agent,can outclass the other duelists sometimes, you just have to be a god to even be able to use him.
they play so fast that it confuses the shit outta their enemies
Even yhe viewer who get to see the whole map confused lmao
Funny how in Reykjavík Paper Rex send both 1st seeds of NA and EMEA home
Overwatch had Clockwork Vendetta, the team that inspired so many others to try their hands at breaking the meta with niche picks
as DubsteP said, APAC's meta is whatever the fuck works, and PRX is the best embodiment of that statement
Imma say Yoru is not the worst agent for pro play now (that honor goes to Reyna), but he is the worst agent for a normal VAL pro team set-up. Paper Rex is different because they are a hyper-aggressive team that employs TWO hyper-cracked, hyper-aggressive duelist mains. And to be able to make full use of their skillset, your team should be able to instill chaos even before a single round is played, which is why Paper Rex keeps cooking off new strategies and agent compositions.
On the other hand, the only "sin" of the new version of Yoru is that he came out at a time when double duelist set-ups are considered passe.
Worst agent for pro play is Phoenix my friend. Although if you straight up forgot about him, I would not blame you xD
@@Arg3tl4m well yeah I almost forgot him. But at least you can get value from his kit. Reyna is only good if there is a discernable skill gap. In a situation where everyone is reliably cracked, Reyna is useless.
f0rsaken's signature Neon on fracture & yoru on bind
All I need now is Phoenix to be played more and picked more cause of the new buff.
played an agent now the whole world shouts his name
3:03 weirdest team, okay Mr. Analyst lmao
thats ethos
the real YORU GOD
and red also
Yoru has such a high skill ceiling but also has so much potentiol, You know what I mean if you've ever seen a cracked yoru in comp.
as a yoru main i appreciate this
It's like Bind is PRX F0rsaken's Yoru playground
finding good yoru players is hard because his kit is unlike others, he is good but he only has a few combos that are commonly used so it goes to show why people hate yoru and think he is bad its cause they can't get away with the same thing every round so its like being as good as the generation of miracles from knb(Kuroko no basuke)
shoutout to the guy that was using smite phantom
This is not the Forsaken I know. No word.exe memes.
I took two months to learn Adobe After Effects and Premier Pro. Now I am learning soft soft to make soft so I can have more verity
the Cooler Forsaken
yoru doesnt need a fix, he is a hard agent to use and that is it. players need to learn how to use yoru with other utilities to make things work out perfectly. yoru haters must understand that he's got a high learning curve to play at full potential. he is not the weakest duelist, he is the hardest one to use if you are braindead that only knows to one shot players with a fukin rocket.
i feel yoru is good for smart players in low elo the mindgames he can play on bronzes or silvers are amazing
Daniel bro I cant even watch u, pls put a mask .... Perfect voice for an Host but the face ... OMG
i really like the new aesthetic
LOL THEY DID IT AGAIN AGAINST FNATIC!
Took you long enough. PRX game is insane
my honest opinion is yoru is really good has potential but you have to play him so good for it to work and nobody knows how to
Anyone know what white headphones he was using?
Found it, hyperX cloud 2 white/pink
I really love the high quality content you guys produce, but for the love of god and all things divine, calm your lips and ease the overly dramatic punctuations a little. Love you guys, keep it up.
5:54 No this was post rework phx was much worse
