Portuguese Valorant player David ‘DaviH’ Cruz was the highest-rated player in EMEA Ascension during the tournament’s group stage playing three different roles for SAW.
Versatility is a hallmark of some of the best Valorant players in the world, and one player competing in EMEA Ascension has showcased that trait. DaviH is a Valorant pro competing with the Portuguese team SAW who played three different roles for the squad across the tournament’s group stage.
SAW placed second in Group A to qualify for the playoff stage of the event, with DaviH picking up Initiator, Controller and Duelist duties for the team. His main role is Controller, playing Omen and Astra, but on some maps, he plays Sova or Jett.
While juggling those different roles, and their different playstyles, DaviH has managed to put in impressive statistics and even leads the tournament’s charts in one key category.
