Stopped mid-stroke to tune in to this man

[mojomokie]

How is it that TMV has garnered the type of comment section that he has. I mean its pretty funny but out of the whole Valo community why just this man.

[clash]

I am genually a sage beliver on this map. Getting the spike down is just so big and spamm so important.

[Kryzez]

Before watching the video i will say: Harbor is insane in Abyss i hecking love playing him on that map

[dlopomo]

yo TMV hear me out, I'm putting my premier roaster on a sick comp in my opinion, you go double controller with astra and harbor cuz harbor cooks on this map, then you go chamber, neon and breach solo initiator, it's insane how good it is, the double smokes are generally really good for defaults on attack and stopping pushes on defense, then chamber has the oper role ofc, +his trip can hold mid lurks really well and then breach and neon are both for utilities and entries, the comp works really well mainly cuz on defense you can abuse the barriers positions to take space and fight early with chamber or to post him up, and same thing can be done with neon following breach utilities, I'm still working on how to make it a perfect comp tho, cuz for example you only have harbor cove to deal with cypher trips, but I'll figure it out

[confusedguy]

I feel like cypher is just very unoptomised, putting a trip on one side of the mid lane and having a body on the other isn't something a lot of teams were doing afaik

[gamist]

I'm no good at this game but for Kayo I found a defensive lineup on B I throw almost straight up, super unbreakable and lands on the B rush by the time you're basically mid if you're fast rotating after the knife throw. The A knife is super easy, obviously shows greatness in Kayo here but yea figuring out B site is a bitch, it's so split from the rest of the map!

[jodgey]

I wanna see FPX's comp on this map

[kindo_witch]

I feel like abyss will play out like lotus with the odin cause you can spam the plant through the tower wall on A with a odin.

[Petru-vzxh]

harbor is actually underrated on abyss, he can cover anything

[skidoo]

Im surprised viper/harbour havent been used more tbh harbour seems really strong on attack and viper wall is crazy on B but she might not get enough value otherwise to be worth the pick

[michaeltracy]

Sorry for spilling on you Mr. Man’s Valorant

[ChivalrousReaper]

I have no clue how to play Sova or abyss but tried Sova because team didn't have an initiator and managed to get a lot of value out of my util because you can kinda make lineups on the fly to gather info and with ult you can make fights easier for your team.

[ranghawastaken]

Astra/Harbor/Jett/Sova + another Initiator ('m leaning towards Breach the most roght now) is the best comp. If any team will pick up this comp they'll be the best Abyss team hopefully xD

[ehaggy]

TMV great video but speaking of controllers what's your thoughts on viper vs. omen for Abyss in soloq? I only play omen and viper and though omen is picked more in the pro scene I feel like viper may be better in soloq for two reasons:
1) I feel that the smokes are stronger on viper than on omen, I can set up wall on B and orb on A, and I feel I get better performance than smoking with omen.
2) Viper's molly is good for both plant denial and post plant, two things that are very strong to play on abyss, and playing viper means I'll guaranteed have someone on my team that is able to play for plant denial and post plant strongly.
Omen's blind is really strong though and maybe I just had some bad games with omen or didn't get comfortable on abyss with him yet? I'm curious as to your thoughts if you do see this.

For competitive, Sage is huge pick for this map, trust. Battle sages are true need in your competitive game, you don't even know how much revive means for overall game. Also, Iso and jett combo are not bad at all.
Addional to this: Viper has nice setup, but needs buff, she would be broken otherwise, but you need good timings.
Harbor is brutal pick, you can not miss with Breach, Clove with any other smoker is amazing. Deadlock is nice, cypher is fun, Sova is okay but weak since he is passive with his kit. Skye is good (but again, timings), better to take Breach.

In personal opinion, the best combo is Iso/Jett/Reyna + BREACH / Gekko + Sage / DL + Harbor/Clove

By far, if you are in good terms with any of this agents, you will find the way on this map.

[funkycrawler]

IMO, Deadlock and even Chamber, are far better picks for the map than Cypher (who I think people are over compensating for his universal util but from what is shown- isn't getting much value for how the map plays out). Sage probably even has value here too cause the maps tight choke points/heavy exec means these agents can get great value compared a Cypher in which trips just get avoided fairly easily.

[eninja]

I think its funny cypher in VCT is playing B because everyone in ranked has been playing A which is just terrible since an omen refreshing a smoke puts the same amount of denial as a cypher being A. Its already harder to take it doesn't need a cypher

[maxelliott]

I feel like if astra can’t be played on this map she needs to be stronger

[dingding]

using yoru ult to body block someone into falling down is actual peak, i would never touch a duelist otherwise
