Yea, they kinda failed in there. This works if u r confident the enemy team will use vandal, since vandal one shot kills in the head.
But except derrek, the rest of the 100T were buying phantoms, and having light shields meant that even phantom would 1 tap in the head. It's a good strat to build economy, but the purpose of it fails when the other team uses phantom mostly

kk stands for kang kang. That waas originally his gaming name. But, Zmjjkk's brother helped him so much to get into esport. His brother was using the tag "Zmj', hence he wanted to carry his brothers tag with him as well, hence y his gamer tag is 'Zmjkk'

Team liquid is an org from the EU (netherlands i believe), but orgs are not tied to a single region or they don't have to. You can have teams for different esport from different region. The liquid CSGO roster is primarily from NA, they don't need to have a roster where all the players are from NA but there are various reasons that come into play when they build up a roster

Well, nitr0 has been calling the mid game calls of 100T as well. I believe there was a time where steel would call the initial setups/calls and nit0 calls the midround

Yea, i don't see the likes of Faze and Gen.G making through.
In case of V1, we cannot say that was a fluke run last masters. They were a team who were able to very quickly adapt to a better meta at that moment and made it through coz many others were behind. But will see, they mit surprise who knows

How can they judge by the players that are signed. Assume all the layers are t1, still the roster won't even make a good impression if they don't have a chemistry (Just one of many reason for a squad to be t1) between them. U being a TSM fan, All the players in TSM are t1 rit? Then according to ur logic they should made it through to several stages, but they haven't. Just having t1 players all around doesn't mean that the team is gonna be t1 and perform like one, there are many more factors affecting for a team to be a t1 other than just the players.

Well, Hiko actually talked about that on stream. There major problem was that the front liner (Asuna) moved forward but the back end players (Hiko, Steel) moved too slow. He was speaking that they were working on that so that they find a better timing for the whole team while executing a plan
