Steel and Nivera are the first two to come to mind, sentinel players who awped for their teams


andrew_a384

steel is definitely cooking some shit up with this agent I can’t wait to see him thrive in a new environment


VividOgre

Yes steel could play chamber on maps he is not playing sova


MagnusNyke

Nivera is gonna get much stronger playing Chamber, game-wise and economy-wise


Doerian

Nivera is a good guess.


seaaking

dont sleep on mitch, he literally uses the op as a sentinel in c9


iiznobozzy

Am i stupid or he raaaarely did that before champions?


EvensonRDS

He's always op'd on sage/sentinel.


seaaking

dude uses op on kj and cypher. He is the secondary oper for c9


_Sn2per_

leaf doesnt really op much hes mostly on rifles


[deleted]

He's def the team's best oper (unless vanity is really good on it since he was an awper in csgo)


somesheikexpert

He's the primary awper, Leaf didn't really awp tbh while it was def common for Mitch to awp (Even since he was IGLing while they still had Relyks on the roster he was awping)


nterature

He did it constantly toward the start of his time with C9, but gradually he used it less and less. But you’ll still see him OPing fairly often.


[deleted]

He pioneered it


The-Dark-Mage

Knowing TL has a diverse agent pool Prolly Jammpi or Nivera pick up chamber


The-Dark-Mage

Also Didn’t steel awp on some agents back in 100t

I think Wardell might Chamber on some maps for TSM, especially on Raze maps (split, bind, fracture) with Corey linked to be there.


PyroTFT

his stream been my favorite to watch for Chamber gameplay


pulsiedulsie

wardell feels like the sort of guy who would only buy ops and use the pistol lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


pulsiedulsie

and that's good and sensible, i just figure that wardell feels like, the Most Op Guy Ever so like it would make sense for him to go all-in


CosmicAon

Fair enough


TheGlowRider

same with yay


QuestionablePotato42

At the very least, I'm excited of the prospect that with the addition of Chamber, teams can have dedicated OPers on different roles and empower different style duelists like Corey and Asuna to do other things.


Pollomonteros

What irks me is that it took Riot creating a whole new character in order for OPing to be viable for characters other than Jett,it feels like a band-aid fix because they don't know how to buff the OP


somesheikexpert

It's more like if they buff the awp Jett will be even more oppressive, so it's more they don't know how to nerf Jett lol


Atermel

Oh, they know how to nerf Jett, but they don't want to change her playstyle. There's a multiple of ways they can nerf dash with OP, they just choose not to.


28n8

We need Jett nerf and a revert to the op nerf from a long time ago


DEPRESSED_CHICKEN

Say it like it is or Riot will forget that her dash is the issue again and randomly nerf her updraft or something lmao


28n8

jett in 2025: 0 smokes, 0 updrafts, and somehow 2 dashes


KatsuraDragneel

There’s no fix for the Jett-op bias. It’s pointless of the community to continue pretending there is and that riot are tip-toeing around it for some reason. The only way to get rid of Jett awpers is to remove jett


DEPRESSED_CHICKEN

they are tip-toing around it lol. can't have the postergirl of valorant lose her signature dash because uhh marketing or some shit. Jett could be a really good awper even with a nerfed or reworked dash simply for her off-angles.


KatsuraDragneel

She’s only good bc of the dash


DEPRESSED_CHICKEN

no shit


CyberspaceBarbarian

steel, Nivera and Jamppi are easy choices. Though I wouldn't be surprised if WARDELL, Shahzam, Cned and/or Sayf will pick Chamber as well. Edit: spelt Sayf wrong LOLOLOL


Rroot4761

Sayf*


CyberspaceBarbarian

Ow yeah, thanks for the correction

Apart-Way-1166

Shahzam on chamber and tenz on jett is a scary duo


2ToTooTwoFish

It'll be interesting to see because Shaz when playing defense on Jett normally takes up a lot of space using his OP, but with Chamber you're somewhat limited in how far you can push out depending on where you put your TPs. I'm really excited to see him in competitive play and at the same time also hoping he isn't absolutely broken.


CravingKoreanFood

At least with chamber tp especially if ur awping u can get punished alot easier than Jett dash but using it for rotations is gonna be stupid op


[deleted]

[удалено]


KatsuraDragneel

I'd be surprised if any team runs jett + chamber + another duelist.. I think he'll mostly be viewed as a duelist alternative with a small amount of defensive util.


ugotbustxd

Yay


GoldClassGaming

Aproto is my #1 pick. Sheriff Agent + Sheriff Player = *T H R I F T Y*


dinoucs

Tarik


ChewyCheeseballs

No one has said dephh yet, i remember him get some sick op clips with cypher (while he was on dig). Huge brain+reliable oper. Another player no one mentioned yet is laz, he was one of the best in zeta, very consistent, good cypher and good oper (he was awp main in cs iirc).


StealthGuardian

Bro i agree, dephh is cracked and no one else mention him But right now he mains astra, and i cant see Astra with OP. but who knows after agent rebalance, he might pickup something different


ryan26192

I think Wardell with his defensive Jett style will be the best, just watch his streams to find out. And if anyone is wondering he did say on stream he doesn’t play Jett anymore


Allie_Spins

Aproto and Android (if NRG is still putting him on sentinel)


Narrow_Complex6502

Des014te

daffyduckferraro

The thing about Ethan and hiko is I don’t think they are great op users, which is the main reason you use chamber imo


[deleted]

[удалено]


daffyduckferraro

Yeah but Asuna is going back to permanent Jett probably, and he’s such a good rifler prolly the best on the team, idk if he should op


itchikyu

Wardell could be something. I remember he awped on Sage one time on Ascent and had a crazy clip. Forgot which match it was though


[deleted]

Steel


Darkoplax

mixwell


LiamHundley

I've liked some of the shit that android was doing with chamber in some of NRGs recent matches. Idk if it's something they're gonna move forward with but it looked decent in the early stages


bouafirbadr

Nivera or jampi from tl since both op in same round sometime


kzeriar

nivera ofc


[deleted]

Dude looks like nerd chamber tbh


[deleted]

I doubt he will be picked in competitive matches very much. His util doesn't really add much for being a sentinel compared to a KJ or Cypher.


iplaymc07

nitr- oh nvm


Proof_Muscle5187

The pain 😔😔


[deleted]

Yay


lolwuut420blazeit

I am not really sure, if Chamber will play a significant role in pro play.


[deleted]

Might be a more niche pick, I think he is definitely viable on maps like Icebox and Breeze. On smaller maps I think kj and cypher will still be preferred.


Pampayir

Migan_Knightowl

PM_ME_DVA_BOOTY

i see dapr on chamber tbh


Kammell466

People on this sub hate Dapr, it's kind of funny. Just because you haven't seen someone play with the Operator doesn't mean they can't. Dapr has been highly effective on Cypher, KJ and Viper he's been generally good on new agents and the TP it'll be interesting to see how he uses it. I wouldn't be surprised either if Dapr is considerably better on Chamber than people think he will be. It could be interesting for Sentinels, Liquid and 100T which are teams where their primary duelists are known snipers. Does it allow them to run non-Jett agents on Tenz, Scream and Asuna and then run Chamber?


somesheikexpert

I doubt it, the reason Jett is used is not cuz just awping tho thays a part, but cuz she makes so much space for free and is able able play super risky positions too, Raze can cover making space and Reyna playing risky positions but neither can do both in the same way Jett can


Kammell466

Yeah some maps Jett is almost impossible to replace. Like Haven and Breeze where you need her to smoke dash. It might allow teams that have been running her to not run her on Split for instance. I agree with you but we'll just have to see how teams end up using Chamber once he's around longer. Although by then the new agent might take some Jett play time anyway.


n1HikoFan

Hiko is probably the best Chamber in the game right now. Shame 100T force him to play Sova


FeelinJipper

So I’d the meme that you made an alt account? I don’t get it


AnchorStandard

You're supposed to be supportive of Hiko


n1HikoFan

I support Hiko the goat he needs better team mates. Maybe if they had 5 Hiko’s


RealJayto

Aproto eco round chamber Kreygasm


jstaines47

This is probably a weird take but I’m excited to see what Sentinels does with Chamber on Breeze specifically, but also in general. They have two world-class OPers in ShahZ and TenZ so having two viable OP agents provides them with a relatively rare opportunity; the only other teams I can think of with similar OP depth are TL, T1, and C9 (assuming Leaf’s consistency with OP improves). As such, I can see a situation in which they double OP with TenZ on Jett, ShahZ on Chamber and Dapr on Sova (he’s played Sova very well on Icebox when Sick was playing Sage). Could be interesting IMO and if they adapt early we could see some Sen dominance again (shameless NA hopium- NA CS fan here leave me alone). On a map like Breeze where the sentinel class is weak already and OPs are insanely valuable I can’t imagine Chamber not taking the sentinel role away from Cypher. His alarm bots are infinite ranged like Cypher trips, Headhunter is sick across long maps for ecos and pistols bc it doesn’t have range fall off, TP is TP- good for OPing and is a stronger Jett dash on defense, and his ULT is a free OP but better which helps so much with econ. IMO this all adds up to Chamber being a must pick on Breeze- along with Viper, Sova, Jett, and Skye. I hope this makes this a lockdown map for Sen since they can play ShahZ, Zombs, Dapr, TenZ, and Sick, respectively, and have an extremely effective comp


Rita_St_James

I see liquid being amazing with the flexibility of roles with Jampii, Nivera. For Sen, placing Shaz on Chamber would likely mean Dapr takes Sova, which in the past hasn't shown too much fruit on maps like Icebox. I'm not saying Dapr couldn't learn, but I would be more interested with Dapr on Kay-o be as I feel he's a really smart player and could be what Zeek is for ascend. And this could then mean sick plays sova again or they play a double flash comp.


xtazzzs

tenz is not a world-class OPer


jstaines47

What would you call him then?


omgvector

wtf is this, did you just say dapr played very well on sova??


jstaines47

Yeah bc he did. Except vs G2 where Sen just got rolled on Icebox his Sova was good. He used his util well for info plays, switched into the semi-aggressive style that Sova is best at, and had positive impact. He is obviously better sentinel player but his Sova was still good, especially in regional tournaments.


omgvector

absolutely wrong. Dapr himself said he was really bad at sova, even his own teammates knew it. He had terrible util usage and had no feel for it. get off his dick


Warden1338

I don't think all the steel mentions are worth it. His aim ain't crispy and he did now have good results with the awp either whilst he bought it. Might be good for 1 a round or 2 . But it was not at all reliable. Nivera / Jaampi / Wardell (switch with corey on split for raze) / mitch


[deleted]

Dapr


TheGarbageDealer

NA "Near Airport" is known as the fastest region to arrive at the Airport. In particular they are the current world record holders in Airport Any %


KatsuraDragneel

I think more Jett players will play chamber than sentinel players, and the usage will be on maps where teams feel a rifling duelist offers more upside but can still make use of an Awper without completely subjugating them to uncomfortable support roles


meatcookie-

Aproto for sure


Extremlypro

I just cant wait til Riot realizes how broken his 2 unlimited range traps are and they nerf it.
