1. TS in 2021 won the APAC Playoffs and made it to Champions, finishing 8th place
2. TS in 2022 was third in the APAC Stage 2 Playoffs, losing to PRX and Xerxia for a spot in Masters
3. TS in the recent VCT Lock-In performed better than other Pacific teams

We haven't won yet, but we are getting pretty close. Now tell me, what can you say about Bleed?
edit: Bleed buying out a player from the competing team after facing them in the Grand Final? yeesh

bro's talking about a team that got released and kept only one player

you gotta give me something to work with here man, you're just taking Ls

bro's talking about a team that got released and kept only one player, must have been pretty bad 😳

at least our team got partnered 💀

TS 2 - 1 GE
Is GE a bad team? After TS' win versus DRX, I would say the only way they are winning this is if they can prepare and do their homework against GE. GE is looking really good, and every win at this point matters. Good luck to both teams, but here's to hoping TS caps off league play with a W.
(orig 2: Is GE a bad team? After that win from Gen.G, no doubt these guys are finding their form quicker than anticipated. I am now actually terrified for Team Secret, so I'm really hoping Warbirds and the team are taking these last few matches seriously if they want to make it to playoffs.)
(orig: Is GE a bad team? No, I'd say they could be a good team. It's just gonna take a bit of time for them to find what works and what doesn't. They would probably take a map off, but TS is going to win this.)

DRX 2 - 0 GE
There's a strength and weakness to having a 10 man roster. The strength is having the freedom to mix up comps to take the enemy off guard, and the weakness is taking time to see what works and what doesn't. GE is in its growing pains phase, compared to the maturity of DRX. Still, with time GE can become a pretty destructive team.

GEN 2 - 0 DFM
Maybe Gen.G?

TLN 2 - 1 T1
Talon still looks like the better team here as long as they can figure out a good comp, but I think T1 did well in their first round against GE that they might take a map off.
(original: Talon just looks like the better team here. T1 are definitely going to need some time before their roster can be pretty good.)

ZETA 2 - 0 RRQ
Holy fuck, RRQ needs to get their shit together. I like to troll, but this shit isn't even funny anymore.
(orig: I mean, Zeta isn't THAT bad that they wouldn't win a map. They're just not good enough to counter the APAC playstyle.)

RRQ 2 - 1 GEN
Hard to tell between these two, so I'll go ahead and pick RRQ.

PRX 1 - 2 DFM
Highly unlikely, but I have a feeling DFM will know how to counter PRX's playstyle. That, or PRX got their shit together and absolutely destroys DFM.

GE 2 - 0 T1
GE had a pretty good showing in Lock In, taking off a map vs. Vitality, so I'm hoping they'll win this.

DRX 2 - 0 ZETA
DRX just looks like the better team here.

My bad, only heard he wasn't joining them on the flight. Good to know he'll be joining.

TS 2 - 1 DRX
Papi DRX have mercy on these kind souls 🥺 Give these guys a win 🥺 You have losses to spare right 🥺 You're making it into playoffs 🥺 Let TS be the third seed to Masters Tokyo 🥺

TS 2 - 1 T1
TS should be the better team here. They have to be. They need to win their next two matches. Of course DRX is going to crush them, but I'm smoking ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF COPIUM to manifest this team getting into Playoffs and beating the next three teams they face and make it to Masters Tokyo. This fucking team is still great, age doesn't mean shit, TS isn't a washed team, fuck anyone who thinks they are, that is all.
(orig: TS just looks like the better team here.)

TS 2 - 1 ZETA
ZETA is showing signs of life these past few weeks, but I think with enough preparation and counterstrats, TS can absolutely win this match. As long as Dep and Sugarz3ro don't wake the fuck up.
(orig: ZETA's weakness is the fact that they aren't willing to make changes in their roster, and while their skills individually is commendable, their composition and playstyle just won't bring them to victory.)

TS 2 - 0 DFM
TS just looks like the better team here. They need to be. This is basically a giveaway game.
I don't think I can handle a loss from this team.

TS 2 - 0 RRQ
RRQ is probably the most underdeveloped team here in VCT Pacific, and it looks like that's not going to change here.

TS 2 - 1 GEN
After that Paper Rex win, I'm going all in on Team Secret. After Paper Rex, their next hurdle will definitely be the Korean teams in this league, so I'm hoping they've got what it takes.
(orig: Gen.G has potential to become a great team, and while I hope TS proves me wrong, Gen.G will probably win this one.)

TS 2 - 1 PRX
El Clasico! TS has shown that they are able to win maps against PRX, and PRX hasn't been looking too strong lately. If they play this right, this will be a guaranteed W.

TS 2 - 1 TLN
Even without Pathipan (wishing him a speedy recovery), I think Talon is pretty strong that they'd be able to take a map off TS. Still, I have hope for TS.

Tarik 2 - 1 FRTTT
Tarik the GOAT

I am now sad :(

RRQ 2-1 FUT
We're going all blue this bracket!
Power of friendship!
Viva RRQ!

I'm sleeping good tonight 😴😴😴

TS vs. NAVI
Either way, TS wins this, no cap

TL = Takes Ls

Alexa, play Zack Tabuldo

WELCOME TO TONDO GAMING 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

They're with them in Brazil, he's just acting as the 6th man. We might get to see him if they have a certain comp that Lenne does well in, but they might just work with their main roster.

The titos have the APAC buff, surely we win this, right? RIGHT?

2nd place curse is hella real 💀💀💀

i can get behind this 👍

Didn't age well 🥱

OAS 2 - 1 SE
Interested to see Sky Empire perform

The new Filipino superteam
NAOS 2 - 0 SR

My mind is telling me TL 2-0
My heart is telling me TS 2-1
Surely?
Edit: My heart goes on 🫶 GG TL, go next

Hot take: DRX 2 - 3 Talon

We will pray for Lorri
Ama namin 🙏

I believe in Shopify Rebellion supremacy, they will come out on top even without Coach Rob. G2 1 - 3 SR

TONDO GAMING REPRESENT 🔪🔪🔪

CMON TEAM HERETICS VS TEAM SECRET CMON

EL CLASSICO TRES
PRX 1-2 TS
I HECKIN LOVE TS

I'm gonna miss Witz, he really gave a lot of charm to the team's walkouts during Champions. Hope he finds a good team in the Ascension leagues.

Bro, this was an L move for RRQ. KellyS is one of the best players from the PH, and would have been a solid addition to the team. Still, I hope he gets picked up by Secret or another partnered team, 'cause the man can play. Also, RRQ can now focus on unfucking up their roster.

I was not expecting a 2-0 match, but it seems more likely now 😥
EDIT: NOT LIKE THIS ToT
EDIT2: GGs DRX, lot of things that Fayde and the gang need to work on for Brazil. Bootcamp maybe?

I am a Lenne fan now Pog

DRX vs TS match
EDIT: LET'S GO BANGER MATCH
Hopefully 2-1 for TS (but most likely DRX)
