what are your expectations from mako @champs?

If he plays badly would he still be (or is he already not) your #1 controller itw?

Only person who can rival mako is marved when he’s in form

Even if mako has a shitter event he’s still best in my eyes

Free that boy

Both Marved and pANcada tbf (arguably and at times, but they both peaked higher imo, while mako was the most consistent).

And his performance apart from Sau paulo in 2023 was not so brilliant.

If he doesn't play to his golden standard I'm taking s0m over him..

I think both Marved and Pancada values is more about the clutches they did.

Mako is more like util usage + trading

Also I still wanna see Mako playing to other team besides DRX, if he keep his level then yes.

It’s just so hard to igl and lurk/clutch at the same time (which is what sets him above all other controllers in my eyes)

Imagine calling your teams util and scaling during execute while simultaneously worrying about a cypher that could be in any corner on the other side of the map.

It’s clear he doesn’t belong as an igl, his calling is mid and his play style took a turn for the worse

Hopefully marved and Pancada look better next season

Yeah s0m is also looking crazy good. I doubt mako will do bad he’s been a consistent beast

S0m might have a crazy tourney tho bc of what happened in Tokyo. He’s gonna come back on demon time

We will see, it’s very possible s0m could be the best controller itw after this event

How can they both peak higher when mako is the only controller to ever average 240 acs internationally and he did it twice 🤣

Acs and rating isn't good enough for you 🤣 how about statements from other pros saying mako is the hardest player to kill because of his perfect positioning 🤣

MaKo was great at LOCK//IN Tokyo was the worst tournament of his career and he didn't even play bad

probs gonna still be consistent.. I think him or one of the DRX players said that everyone was burnt out in Tokyo so he should start performing his normal level imo

Standout player in a downward spiral team, might lose his title of best smoker itw to emerging players into the scene.

BuZz stood out in playoffs Seoul and RB at Tokyo, mako was still the most consistent probably but also his performance level looks to be in a downward spiral

Why do people talk like MaKo played terribly at Tokyo? It was below his average but people talk like he's a terrible player. Dude was saving DRX in that EG game while the entire team was flopping.

s0m will only overtake MaKo if he continues playing this well consistently for like 1 1/2 years. MaKo has been insane for almost 2 years, his consistency is unmatched

What's the point of considering how good mako was 1 year ago when talking about now? Would you agree if I told you that cNed, yay and ardiis are top 5 duelists itw?

There's no sense in what you are saying.
Yes. He did not play bad in tokyo, but s0m was exceptional. Also he didn't perform so well in the pacific playoffs, he just seems to be getting worse

Thats the thing. It hasn't been a year yet. 4 months ago he was pounding at Lock//In. Your take only make sense if he continues slipping for another 2 events

He did fine in pacific playoffs tho. The only player on DRX that had better stats was buzz

He did fine in Tokyo too. But "fine" won't just get you to stay at the top 1 position

Idk man.
Some people pray for mako's downfall since they want their favorite player hold the title of best smoker in the world.

Saying mako had a bad Masters performance is a laughable take

S0m is already in a position to be considered better than Mako if he performs at champs

the only event s0m outperformed mako was tokyo, unless mako completely shits his bed at champs mako is still the best

If MaKo doesn't perform, you can call S0M the best controller in the world, but the GOAT status still belongs to MaKo. That guy has 2.5 years of consistent high level play at the top, and hit peaks that only Pancada has matched IMO. Boaster is a good player, but for purely smokes he doesn't match against MaKo and Pancada

I think that Marved also peaked as high as MaKo (I think pANcada peaked the highest), but sure, mako is the goat controller and he will be for at least 1 more year

he is definitely top 10 in the world and and best controller in the world for 2 1/2 years and he is top 15 in masters tokyo which was his worst and stax is the reason drx is going down they need a good igl
