so this hiko guy, second frag and super high KD. but i’ll be damned if i remember a single impact play he made. jcStani new clutch master confirmed.

aleko on sova = better than hiko sova
aleko on viper = worse than hiko viper

idk, he has a lot of impact with vandal too. remember that 3k he got when tsm snuck the defuse from under you guys noses.

listen listen listen, still two more maps to go. don’t get cocky yet. next is split tho (lost to ABX) and then ascent (13-0)

100t 2-1 imo but gonna cheer for tsm regardless

i don’t even know what type of accent it is, i would NOT have guessed Indian though. Like I said, this isn’t meant to be rude.

edit: nvm i love him and his style this is a fun grand final

"HIKO CLUTCHES A 1v4!!!"

let me have my delusions

I don't mean to be rude AT ALL, and it has NOTHING to do with his accent, but his voice does grate on me a bit. I'm not sure if people like him as a meme, but I guess I'll find out in the Grand Final. I could use some levity in a game that's otherwise stressful to watch lol.

dude I cannot take another match tonight, that last one was wayyyy too stressful.
fking 100T is SUCH a great matchup for TSM to have, finally get to play a Tier 1 team. We've gotten dunked on multiple times in a row by them, should be fun.
special GLHF to dexter

dare i suggest: TSM vs 100T in the consolation final?

#5 lol

is it just me or is the audio out of sync. i've refreshed a few times, same issue.

he started 0-10 i was falling out of my chair lol. then he got a 2k clutch and went crazy from there, thank god. tsm would have closed that out 5 rounds earlier if he wasn't stuck at zero kills for half the map. but good recovery, he can look back on that for confidence if he ever starts slow again.

ur the most wholesome member of vlr

kind of expected a 2-1 with a loss on Bind. Icebox next and then Haven (I think) as a third, can still win this. They have a consolation final worst case scenario, so they'll play a little more regardless.

aleko lurked well on split during stage 3 last year. his bind has been rough, and his split fell off too iirc. sova one trick

lol it's basically like "we have an astra whatever aleko go lurk on viper if u get one good if not we don't care" and they're down 4v5 67% of the time

being a tsm fan taught me not to be too confident. but if tsm win bind then i think 2-0

it’ll be streamed guys calm down, gotta give RNG a little time to take a shit between games

literally go to twitch and u will see knights arena is titled “tsm vs rng”

oh mighty NA_KEKW, I think TSM wins 2-1. I don't think they were expecting to play RNG, but hopefully they watched the end of that match once their own was finished.

ok well this matchup is fine, we already played T1, now we get experience vs another decent team instead.

"unlucky"

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

jonaaa6 feeling like wardell im sure.
gotta pull for darkzero bc drone+aproto

fuck it sounds good to me

dude i thought i was the only one who noticed the RNG vs SQ rivalry in Tier 2. those guys played each other in every Knights or NSG tourney. was fun af to watch for a while.

yeh i don't like to participate in baits or trolls, just giving my personal opinion lol. glad not everyone underrates his jett.

yes, that's the common/correct view on him. tsm doesn't NEED him to take so many first duels, but sometimes it works and is super helpful. but when it doesn't work... high impact.

a) no it's subroza, used to be rossy.
b) aleko is a great sova, questionable viper only because he takes a TON of risks in first duels. sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. luckily playstyle can be learned, and his aim is decent enough. i personally think he's the weak link, especially on viper, but he has a lot of impact that I can't see as a mere viewer.

oh no, how can we have another tsm vs t1 matchup if t1 loses to RNG? maybe steel is throwing so he doesn't get embarassed again!

his jett is totally fine in smaller tourneys maybe vct we'll see

how is it a carry... if they lose the map?

tsm 6-1 t1 all time yawn

why predict 2-1 when tsm destroyed them 2-0 in VCT...
this is actually the easiest quarterfinal matchup in the tourney

just want them to play T1 and 100T, those are the only decent teams in the tourney. Unfortunate that they have to play Reckaroo and Basilisk in the early rounds instead of established orgs like ABX/RNG/DarkZero (not established, but drone).

13-4 both wardell and corey at 19 kills. i checked wardell's match history

the first map ended, it was a blowout. like 13-3 is my guess but i don’t remember exactly lolllll. site hasn’t been updated yet.

idk like 13-3 or something just a stomp

for the storyline. just like tsm main vs knights main in the vct.

i wanted tsm to play zmm.s for the storyline, but those dudes are scary. reckaroo should be more fun.

eh, depends on what u mean by "back." they have to be consistent to make it through VCT. They can't throw an 11-6 third map to Knights or a 1-0 map lead to Ghost. Both qualifiers would have gone drastically differently if they closed those matches out and stayed in the winner's bracket.

Noble efforts, but I personally never try to explain his playstyle to people. They're gonna say "KEKW WARDELL BAITER" regardless, and I have no credibility to convince them otherwise. he's the best OP NA, and he plays just like any other OP player on attack. Peek an angle using teammate utility early, hold heaven, hold flank. I'm very vocal that I want him to be able to rifle on attack, but TSM does really well when he sticks with the team and slowly takes ground on attack. TSM doesn't do well when he's defaulting alone on the other side of the map and taking zero map control.

tsm vs. zero marksmen silver would be fun in a Bo3 here, if ZMM can qualify.

he's fucking crazy when he entries on kay/o alongside corey, that part of tsm's game is VASTLY improved.

yuuuuuuuppppppppppppppppppppppppp

ok so this is perfect. tsm vs t1 in a semi and tsm vs 100t in the finals. perfect if ur a tsm fan. assuming they win out vs a lower bracket team and TB.

damn that 1v4 wardell ace was ridiculous, once he pulled chamber ult (despite having an op already) it was over.

as he should tbh, best chamber NA and it's not close...

HAHAH typical 100T fan
