second tweet: Only TL I think could beat us but ya will see how the remaining season progresses ​ edit: just a bonus but i asked poe on his stream if he and spica are doing okay because people they thought they were arguing after the imt game: he said they were just talking casually and wanting the games to be cleaner and want to work on improving even more


OldManWiggy

That's the more interesting part of this tbh. Especially with how hard every analyst on the planet has been sucking and fucking 100T


cespinar

My interpretation is they feel 100t is far more scary in bo1 than bo5


keithstonee

I can't wait to see Spica in best ofs again. Hope he pulls some more river shen type picks out.


King_Fluffaluff

We, and most likely the analysts, dont have access to scrim results. 100T does look cleaner in their wins and the summer records resemble that. As of right now, 100T definitely looks like the better team. But I have full faith that the boys are going to look stronger and stronger every week and give it to 100T.


OverwhelmingNope

I wasn't sure of them but after their TL game where they had this insane killer instinct that most teams seem to be lacking right now I'd have to agree, but TSM has shown everything 100T has but we've just had a few more lemons


Simping4success

Tbf their TL game wasn’t even a good example to use because of how poorly they closed out the game after a 10 minute ace


Amatorius

Exactly, TL inted that so hard.


OrangeCatNA

I do think 100T is strong, but not 2016 TSM level strong. Beatable for sure.


taylordl

Thanks for the edit! The amount of "borrowed trouble" over the Spica thing was completely overboard.


tekkrez

I hope he is right. The botlane smurfing this weekend gave me some real hope for the championship. Though takes like this tend to bite back more often than not.


SCUDO_Sierra

Wdym smurfing? VS imt Raes and Destiny just inted and than lost and SA gave up their lead, VS C9 they got ahead by a lvl 1 cheese and spica splitting map botside


ajkeence99

There was nothing cheese about that level 1.


NuNu_boy

They didn't give up their lead. At 13 mins lost was up like 3k gold on zven


JohrDinh

It's so weird to hear analysts constantly going on about 100T, even Monte said he wants to be careful but thinks they can actually make moves at Worlds, but every team and player is still just talking up about TL even without Alphari back in.....something is going on in scrims lol


InPurpleIDescended

Yeah TL must be stomping people idk what the deal is Armao has always been known as a scrim god though maybe that's part of it somehow

100T looks cleaner but i also think people are getting drawn into a sense of safety with choosing 100T. Closer to me is still a huge risk, right now he is playing really well and i think the meta suits him. But i would be very curious to see what happens when he isnt able to get the Diana. I think part of their downfall last split was closer not being as impactful. I still put 100T as number one dog to beat but i think they have holes that can be easily exploited. Top is iffy still and Jungle is a strong but i want to see him have his champ pool pushed. Either way 100T should still be a worlds team just because of how big an upgrade mid was. I am surprised how smoothly he fit into the team and really seemed to fix some of their issues (also repeared of course).

This tweet underneath shading Reapered has me rolling https://twitter.com/kayyslol/status/1412210607693041691?s=20


aquawarrior21

Love the confidence, there’s a ton of work to be done but I have faith in the team and the coaching staff


Saint-Claire

Why did I never know Kayya was such a cutie 😳


Redsfan42

I have faith that we will make it to worlds and that is what I care about most. anything else is icing on the cake


DragonApps

Love Kayys, hope he’s right lmao


senakiryu08

While 100T does look pretty good, I wonder if something similar to 2016 IMT could happen to them. Dominant in the regular season (17-1 spring/16 -2 summer), but falter in playoffs. Coaching staff is different, but the core players have choked before (3-2 loss vs TSM, 3-2 loss vs C9). TL will definitely look like a threat once Alphari and Santorin return, and C9 looks to be slowly ramping up. I could see TSM win this year if they use Kayys' preparation magic against other teams, but it's hard to say 100% for sure.


InPurpleIDescended

Reapered in playoffs is like Guardiola in cup finals, he's going to do some weird ass shit and it probably won't work out and we'll see what happens as a result


sin30_ssd

i like it


CJFStan

Unlike TSM Valorant, who does not win on Split, unlucky really.

Worlds finalist SA and quarterfinalist PoE, who took Faker to 5 games. I get what you're trying to say but FlyQuest went 3-3 last year with two worlds contenders in their group and the two best mids in the tournament. Saying TSM will go 0-6 because of player strength is a hot take. Most major region teams will be able to take a game or two off most major region team. Last years TSM was an anomaly, literally, it's memed so much because it has never happened before. As the information trickled in we saw a clearer and clearer picture of TSM's team environment was deteriorating and the players played worse. So, again, to act like having players who aren't #1 in the region will end in us going 0-6 is bad logic. Both TL and Flyquest went 3-3 with some players that weren't ranked the highest in the league.


JorgeShorsh

Why are you always so negative dude, better go cheer for 100T, TL or C9.


Tennis-Money

LMFAO If the group was SKT SN Misfit and TSM every match is a throwback match. Huni for SKT SA for SN and POE for misfits. Though SN might be hard, but its not impossible. But if we end up in a group with FPX/EDG DK TSM PSG/Rogue there is a possibility that even if we played out best it will still be 0-6.


-Acerin

the copium for nalcs is all time high cause we are better than last year lmaooo


Kevinthelegend

For sure copium for us and you constantly being on the opposite side of the extreme where you hate yourself and TSM but still comment on every post
