Professional VALORANT Player Demon1 Impresses at VALORANT Champions 2023
Professional VALORANT teams often succeed through teamwork and strategic utility usage. However, sometimes players with exceptional mechanical skills can rise above the competition and make a notable impact.
At VALORANT Champions 2023, Evil Geniuses’ duelist Max “Demon1” Mazanov has stood out with his outstanding performance. According to VCT stats aggregate VLR.gg, Demon1 has an incredible 42 percent headshot percentage over 154 rounds, the highest among all players at the tournament. He also boasts impressive average combat score and damage per round stats, along with nearly a kill per round.
Demon1’s exceptional play was evident in the recent victory over Edward Gaming, where he recorded an impressive 67 kills and a server-leading 301 ACS. He showcased his skills with Jett and Chamber, landing perfect shots and executing fearless swings.
The 20-year-old rising star has been praised by fans and analysts as one of the most talented players in the world. Even when not playing Jett or Chamber, Demon1 impacts the game through strategic utility usage on Astra and his effective use of the Operator.
Evil Geniuses continues to dominate the tournament, with Demon1’s contribution complementing the team’s success. Teammate Ethan Arnold has also impressed with unexpected Yoru picks, maintaining a high level of play throughout the event. Despite their off-stage antics and trash talk, this talented squad thrives in the spotlight and embraces the role of the VALORANT world’s villain, backed by their exceptional skills.
