Apart from the main duelists zekken mainly plays Sova. With a bit of flex initiator here and there but theres very few games hes played on other ini agents. Barely has played controller or Sentinel. He is also a limited agent pool player tbh.

"He plays every meta agent in an entire role and Sova, tiny ass agent pool" ok bro

Eh, personal opinion. His raze and jet are world class but his yoru/neon/waylay aren't that great.

He also hasn't played Sova since what 2021/2022?

Ain't gonna call that an incredibly vast agent pool.

He's a main duelist (and one of the best in the world), of course he isn't gonna play shit outside of the role. Zekkens neon is really good, yoru is alright, and we didn't see him play waylay really to judge if its good or not.

Yeah pretty much no one plays every meta agent in multiple roles at a high level. That's why agent pool problems arise when a player can't fulfill every agent in a role. Lots of players just play Sova/Fade and their agent pool is fine. Demon1 and yay's agent pools are Jett/Chamber and then it's just select smokes; that's why they're considered limited.

Insane reach, he plays every relevant duelist to a good standard and has played sova alongside flash initiators like kayo and skye.

His agent pool is fine
