He grinded his ass off in T2 and scrims
he was not a ranked player but he was very well known in tier 3 and tier 2 knightly tournaments. got a name for himself as cheater1 due to how good he was. These guys dont play ranked much, they scrim and have 5 stacks to attend LANs. its a different ecosystem that only mCE talked about recently on his streams. These guys love the game too much to throw and run it down in ranked, they take it very serious. This is why they're doing well at this level due to their conditioning to attending LANs from way earlier.
A good example is leaf or M80 & ghost players, etc they're ascendant and immo barely BUT put them in important matches, they go beast mode. They really dont give a fk about ranked games.
