soooooooooo what are we thinking after both teams played? TSM> MxS?

Trace is looking nice in China

their coach is insane

Derke is 21 and Marteen is 20. Age is irrelevant

Team Heretics age
Boo 26
Benjyfishy 20
Riens 19
Miniboo 19
Woot 18

Vitality age
Sayf 23
Derke 21
Trexx 19
Less 19
Kicks 19

they won a trophy last year

This was one of the most fun rosters to watch in challengers. Wishing them the best

I think of tier 3 as teams that aren't in T1/T2 that are invited to scrim against the T1/T2 teams regularly. Essentially scrim teams that want to get into tier 2.

Kaajak is 20 and Derke is 21. It was just a money issue in the end.

you

Tanizhq is not a strategic coach, he is more of a vibes coach. SEN is looking for a strategic AC.

Agreed, unfair to cast judgement on a coach without knowing anything about him. Apparently, he has an insane work ethic and everyone he's worked with speaks highly of him. If Vitality took the time to scout and hire him over more established coaches, he must be pretty good.

They need to keep 2 players to lock the team roster spot. I'm assuming Brawk + Odeshima to assistant coach.

Then how did Narrate diff teams all year in T1 after being in T2 NA?

NRG look like they'll be pretty good

If an org like Vitality chooses a coach out of NA tier 2, don't you think there's a good reason for it?

I'm not an EG fan but Supa is quite good

is it just me or do I miss his account

His contacts are probably with the agents and less with the orgs

Problem is, Koala isn't an upgrade over Cryo

Only Zander because Koala has a weird agent pool and there are so many other good duelists.

Why blame TSM? Isn't it M80's fault M80 isn't in franchising?

they cant afford Demon1 or Jawg

Sen treats their players the best out of any org

Luckily, Sayf isn't going to forget what position he's supposed to be in on a retake. There's only so much a coach can do if the players forget everything they practiced under pressure.

Icy isn't bad. Just Jawg is really good.

You mean great anti-strating and coaching by TSM to 2-0 OXG and beat Mxs? you forget that the format was double elim which means both teams lost other games.

Neither

watching this match is shaving years off of my life

This, they are in as long as they win. 2-1 is ok

With Reta losing 0-2 to Galories, they have 5 map wins and 7 losses for a -2 map differential. If TSM wins, 2-1 they will have 7 map wins and 8 losses for -1 while AK would have 5 map wins and 7 losses for -2. Does this mean as long as TSM wins, they are in the playoffs?

No

It was double elim which means they lost another game to get eliminated. Didn’t have a sub for the other game and lost

Furia and MIBR? LOL

problem is there are a lot of good duelists and not that many slots

Lets go TSM. Clean up the small stuff and they'll look great.

Why did OXG lose twice in the playoffs and not make it here?

Relax it's the first game after a month of not playing a match. They can clean up the mistakes.

LOL no

warm up game for TSM with subs, no worries

Seven's improvement this year has nothing to do with previous coaches. He has been working hard with his current coach all year to get to where he is now.

This guy talking about 5 rounds but it takes a minimum of 26 round wins to win a BO3 match. Why didn't they win the other rounds? You can't win a match with 5 round wins.

Some players on TSM also had an off day. The IGLing was just better. Both teams used an odin - Seven was just clearly the better player.

TSM took the game off after locking in and winning the 4 games that mattered most. Don't worry.

I think both teams in the lower finals wanted BO3 so they made both games BO3

LETS GOOOO

Seven haters speak up please. What do you say now?

You are braindead. Seven has turned into an all around beast. He was always mechanically gifted but this season he literally turned into a all around tier 1 player.
