His bind gameplay is always a masterclass to watch, he always finds perfect timings on lurks.
Combined with how good he just naturally is its so crazy watching him.

I think tejo works on certain maps, while other initiators work better on other maps, like gekko bind.

Never go against nats on bind, the mf will always be a goat at it. If you’re against liquid ban bind.

They played bind once during kickoff, it definitely isn’t a strong map in the slightest for them. But their perma ban is haven for some reason?

Fair, SEN also need to wake up, i cant tell if that game was just first international jitters, choking, or just plain bad from SEN.
all good tho.

he couldnt have an off day vs SEN? rough.
nah fr he'll lock in on abyss, he farms on that map.

Lock in goat you aint playin SEN no more.

Free1ing needs to heat up, when that happens its over for VIT.

I got G2-0 EDG
DRX 2-1 VIT tho.

Dont get me wrong TL is a great team, but i feel they kinda felt flat in terms of what to do vs EDG, the same goes for SEN.
it'll be a close match but very scrappy.

i see a world where SEN 2-0 but if Kamo stays shooting and keiko heats up a little itll be very close.

SEN still 2-1 tho

I would think they wait before calling reduxx (or any other player from CUBE) up to the main roster, they would have to scrap bascially most of practice to try and figure out new roles for this new player.

I think its both, he has info and trys to get a timing off of what he hears or his team is calling on what the enemy is doing.
DRX were winning every gunfight that should've favored the SEN player, was a heavy aim diff after a while.
Seemed like SEN couldnt get anything moving since DRX would shut it down with a player getting 2-3 out of nowhere.

just seemed like anything he did during that match that would regularly work, just never worked.
idk if he was just losing aim duels or getting unlucky with timings but, he didnt look how he normally played vs DRX

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be, the comp change was nice but that lotus was… meh.
Just a poor, poor start. Gotta just get rid of the nerves and lock in. All good.

GGs, DRX are actually insane.

Bad, trash even, dumpster some could say.

Kidding, obviously, but damn that map wasn’t the greatest at all. I can’t tell if it was just DRX cooking heavy with the new comp or SEN just shitting the bed from nerves or somethin.

Who are they bringing in though? i assume other Thai players but what happens with frost? (since he speaks mainly english.)

5 replies of the same thing? yeah im cooked. gee

A Japanese team wins ascension?

It could be like the Stewie2k drama stuff during his stint with EG, he tried to bring stuff he learned from TL and the coach (forgot his name) tried to bring stuff from a different team that didnt mesh well at all and caused conflict because both players are arguing what's "right" and what's not.

shit situation altogether but will wait and see what happens during Stage 1.

DFM

Rankers might actually win ascension what the fuck is happening?

well count me completely wrong, i didnt notice it was before a major tournament, i thought it would be before the season ended, or after it ended.
My fault.

i just think this is a dumb move, but we have 0 clue whats going on in the background of the team.
just want NRG to be competitive during split 1.

I guarantee the teams will use it like an off season tournament, just practice. New comps, new roles, etc.

SEN 2-1, 2 maps go to OT.

DFM above FNC you love to see it.

most of the time when the coaches arent talking, its one of the players. or they just dont really need to talk about much if they are already doin well, or whatever needs to be said was said at the very beginning of the timeout.

he was heating up towards the end of haven. zekken seemed a little shakey, and zellsis just need to fix his lurks and timings.
easy fixes before bangkok.

he brought the second entry with zekken, but i like the n4rrate iso comp on haven, hope to see if they could turn haven into last years split.
(unless haven is getting taken out)

Yeah, still some advantage throws. Like the 4v2 11-9. just taking 1v1s for no reason when you're up numbers.
also dont know how they didnt catch Jaw spawn? didnt Jaws tp go like, right passed john where he could fully see it?

that was a crazy ass play, ult to heaven TP SPAWN? nasty work.
GGs, great series.

Gun is still very crazy, can we nerf raze?

i just think raze suits fracture more, the nade gets so much value on stopping exects that yoru just cant.

itll be close, but SEN win 3-2.

am i the only one that think this pick makes sense? he so good at winning duels no matter the agent i feel the iso (the character made for taking duels) is really good for him.

Perchance.

am i just weird or should they have the desks like EMEA, where the players can actually fist bump eachother?
i feel like theyve kept this setup since Reykjavik 2021?

hes been very hyped since OXG, at RBHG Qualis (when he played with SEN) he did pretty well against YFP.
safe to say when hes 18 SEN ether jump at the opportunity to get him up into T1 or another team yoinks him.

i have sen winning if it goes 5 maps because of how much experience the team has over MIBR in bo5s.
If aspas has another masterclass like today itll be MIBR but in close margins. (13-11 14-12 shit like that)

i think SEN take it if it goes the distance.

it all comes down to experience imo, if the bo5 goes all 5 maps its a SEN win, if aspas starts completely hot i see MIBR taking it.

GENG 2-0 if they are still in the form they were for the DFM game, that was a different GENG.

i got T1 2-1

now it comes down to whos better for a bo5, i got it on SEN but cant ever count out aspas.

I think they struggle against SEN also, every player on that team has had experience of a long BO5 (I think)
So I feel like they at better under pressure after the first couple of maps.
I think if aspas starts slow (which seems sometimes impossible.) MIBR have a high chance of losing quickly.

Will they be good in a bo5 or will the new players choke because they don’t have experience of longer series like that?

it'll be close.

even the players know they arent playing at max potential, but the old sqaud was around for a while with the addition of Johnqt.
Plus it seems like its a lot harder in this meta to try and figure out roles for such a squad while still trying to figure out maps. (since they will start to change basically after every international tourny.)

i think he'll play out the rest of the challengers season then see if he is able to move into the main SEN squad or get offers for another T1 team.
