Absurd Vanguard clip shows what it\u2019s like to get ego-challed by a CDL pro Call of Duty League \/ ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard\u2019s multiplayer showcase put content creators and CDL pros in the same lobby. After a dirty clip of JGOD getting gunned by Envoy, we now know what it\u2019s like to face a pro from an above-average player\u2019s POV. JGOD isn\u2019t bad at CoD. He mostly plays Warzone, but the content creator easily holds a positive K\/D and is very comfortable in the game. It\u2019s no stretch to call JGOD an above-average player who most casuals would struggle against. But there are a lot of above-average players in the world\u2026 and very few professionals. The difference in skill might be hard to imagine since they don\u2019t often overlap, but now we have visual evidence of what it looks like. JGOD got placed in a lobby, unknown to him, against former OpTic Chicago star Dylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon. And he found out the hard way, as he got absolutely melted across the map with an SMG \u2014 despite already being mounted and shooting first.

He shoots first, he\u2019s wielding an AR (Vanguard\u2019s STG44), and he\u2019s mounted. Nevertheless, the figure across the map eats his bullets, refuses to get in cover, and immediately volleys back \u2014 as classic an ego chall as possible.And the figure beams JGOD, comfortably winning the fight\u2026 despite the disadvantages and having a close-range SMG (the MP40, in this case). After getting killed, JGOD reacts with a shocked \u201cno,\u201d a confused \u201cwhat,\u201d and then a slightly comforted \u201cthat\u2019s why he\u2019s a pro player, dog.\u201d Yeah, the Prince was frying on Vanguard’s beta \ud83e\udd53pic.twitter.com\/0mLFEtdRtI \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) September 8, 2021 Just like we now have evidence of the skill gap between pro and above average, Envoy was absolutely having his way in the Vanguard Beta lobbies. A 2020 MVP candidate, it should be no surprise that he was able to work his magic. Still, it\u2019s pretty wild. A good player, mounted with a long-range gun who got the first shots off\u2026 shouldn\u2019t normally lose to an ego-challing SMG across the map. But that\u2019s what it\u2019s like to play against a pro. If you\u2019re wondering what other guns are available in Vanguard, check out our full breakdown here.
