Before: Hate him as a person but he was a decent player
After: Still hate him as a person but he's better than I thought though not the best

Even though it was a 3-0 they played insanely well. All 3 maps were close. "Oh 13-9 not even close" When you consider it was 10-2 at the half, that's close. Loud could've easily won the series. They have a bright future with aspas being their star. GGs

Genuine question: What is the beef between these two regions? I don't get why they hate each other so much. As far as I know, the only real issue that happened was zombs calling the region shit but he doesn't speak for the region. Is the rest not just shit talking banter? I mean every team does it even within their own region. NA shit talks other teams within NA as well not just international teams.

Yep definitely bud

What is TSM doing with their roster agents? Sign Seven to replace Wardell our the OPer? Fuck it he's on Cypher. Sign gmd, a smoke main? Fuck it play Breach? Have a good Skye main in Subroza? Fuck it good luck Rossy. These supposed signings already didn't make sense if you look at the agents they play but now it's just a mess. Here are 2 better infinitely better scenarios.

Scenario 1 ("Normal"):
Seven- Jett/Chamber flex
Corey- Duelist flex
Subroza- Initiator/Smoke flex
Rossy- Initiator/Sentinel flex
GMD- Smoke

Scenario 2 (Spicy):
Subroza: Jett/Chamber flex
Corey- Duelist flex
Rossy- Initiator flex
Seven- Initiator/Sentinel flex
GMD- Smoke

Why sign these players if you're going to force them onto agents they don't play/main. GMD only plays smokes aside from the early days on GenG as a duelist. Seven is known to play duelists not sentinels. Subroza is a good Skye player why is Rossy playing her. Simple doesn't make sense.

Sentinels are where TSM were back in beta. They were at the top of NA and were in the running for best in the world. Sentinels at one point was after winning Masters at Reykjavík. Since then they've become overconfident and sloppy. They haven't adapted to any of the actual meta changes since Masters at Berlin. You can even see it in their posts and other pros' posts of "It's Sentinel's meta of full rush less utility" because that's their playstyle and it didn't change. We saw that with TSM running 3 duelists and look where that got them. They didn't change and they got rolled to the point they had to make a change if they wanted to compete. Sentinel's strats stayed the same as well. Pretty much nothing changed in today's game compared to the one last year. They play 1v1s because they think they can outduel everyone because overconfidence. They don't practice or if it's a joke it's pretty clear they don't take it seriously. Everyone clowned 100T for getting 13-0 by Guard but at least they had a new roster. Sentinels got 13-1, which is pretty much the same thing, and has had the same roster the entire time. They either make changes to the roster, their agent comp, or play style or they'll soon be struggling to make it anywhere meaningful.

Damn didn't know books were 6 paragraphs long with <100 words. Maybe you should go read some books to know what a book is then talk about other people getting a life brother

Bud I probably go outside more than you lmao.

Can you explain how pushing ct in a 4v3/3v2 instead of holding with your teammate on split and playing for time is a strategic risk? There's no benefit in that and that one play lost them the round. He makes way too many poor choices. Corey is honestly not that good either.

Wardell: Stream champ that doesn't take competitive seriously. Man's in another streamer's chat messing around minutes before they have to play a game instead of actually getting ready with the team(k3soju). Maybe also take the time to practice rifling so he's not entirely dependent on an almost 5k credit gun or an ult. Also consider playing with your own teammates so you can have some synergy instead of playing with other teams' players or streamers.

Subroza: Ranked only ego player. Extremely undisciplined, making unnecessary peeks and poor decisions. Tries to play competitive the same was as ranked since 2021 and still hasn't changed. Still trying to play like a duelist on Skye making this still essentially a 3 duelist team with Corey and Wardell playing like a Jett.

Corey: Undisciplined baiter. Same with Subroza, making extremely bad decisions and unnecessarily peeking. As the primary duelist, he seems to love not entrying and only going in as the second or third. He's one of those ranked shit talkers who play duelist and talk about kda at the end of the game after baiting.

Rossy: Poor shotcalling and bad anchor. Not sure why they entrusted a (almost) unproven 18 year old to be their IGL but he makes pretty poor calls and strats. Look at TSM vs BBG split. Every attacking round they have pretty much no map control. Then, they try to execute onto a site with 20-30 seconds left vs Sage, Raze, Astra, and Viper. That will work 10% of the time if they get lucky. Also needs to learn to actually anchor instead of taking unnecessary peeks while alone on site.

Aleko/Leviathan: I mean don't even know where to start. Just drop him at this point. Most inconsistent on the team(yes, even more so than Subroza and Corey). There is only 1 map he's consistently good at and that's Ascent. Guess why. Ah yes the Odin spamming Sova. Yes, they put him on Viper for some reason but it's still his job to learn the agent and be comfortable on her. It's been months since they last played this shouldn't even be an issue. Missing easy shots, making dumb peeks, making poor decisions, and can't anchor. This guy is pretty much all of TSM's problems, aside from Wardell, into one.

Overall: At this point stop saving strats and go play in some T2/T3 tournaments cause you look like at T2/T3 team at this point. Maybe also stop streaming 24/7 and actually practice. Probably don't even scrim for some reason. Drop the ego. Y'all ain't the 2020 best in the world team anymore. Stop making solo plays and peeking 1 by 1. This ain't ranked. There needs to be team synergy. There's a reason you can't throw all the best players onto one team and have them be the best team in the world.

Speculation: This is purely a speculating thought but probably need a new coach. I enjoy football and if you look at when a group of players play poorly, it's reflected on the coach. Rubyz should be seeing all of these things and be working with them to fix them. They haven't played in an official match in months and these problems are still showing so what does that say about the coach. They may all be Radiant players but teams have a coach for a reason.
