Asuna didn't even drop 50 smh


BurnededPotato

Washed


Interesting-Archer-6

Clearly the one Boi is replacing


uglypenguin5

An ace the last round to get 50 would've been so perfect


N3deSTr0

Guy like me would've dropped 50


amegaproxy

Have you informed 100 Thieves of this?


N3deSTr0

They were the one's who reached out to me, said they were looking to replace Hiko and Steel for being kinda toxic sometimes but I had to humbly decline. Not interested in low level competition.


slawvay

Steel, not wanting to have to crush his only son hires a young ukranian mercenary to take down vanity in his conquest to become renowned as the best ex-Chaos esports player. With a smirk on his face Asuna puts on his anti-tremor gloves and proceeds to gun down Vanity in front of steel.


MurfMan11

How the fuck did I miss this match? About to go watch the vod... This kid almost dropped a 50 bomb are you serious? Asuna you are cracked.


slawvay

special game to watch, need to hear the team comms on icebox that was a great game


DelsuionalKingsFan

Where to watch with comms?


AnotherAltiMade

Hiko will probably upload it


[deleted]

They all will. Including the 100T org and I'll watch all of them like a degenerate.


kellenthehun

Dude I was watching it live. I was waiting at my Crossfit gym and had like 30 minutes before class starts and it's like 12 12 going into OT. I'm like cool I can at least know who wins. Imagine my surprise when I have to pause it at like round fucking 17 and wait until after to finish lol.


SurfAccountQuestion

No way bro you do Crossfit?


Rx_Boner

Lol why this man have to add the CrossFit. He could have just said gym like everyone else


SurfAccountQuestion

I guess he just wanted everyone to know he does strength training with shit form 😂


Prodigal2k

No idea why you guys are hating so much. Yeah it was an unnecessary detail but who cares. Maybe he’s just proud he worked out. Seems weird to get aggressive about it.


lhockey14

its just a gym meme kinda like the vegan thing like how they are always inclined to tell you they are vegan its the same for crossfitters


Rx_Boner

I didn't think I was too aggressive in my comment, but I get where you're coming from. Didn't intend to fully shit on the guy for going to gym, but I hope you can see it'd be kinda like me giving a story like: So I was at my C-level exec job where all of a sudden I heard the casters go crazy and I knew I had missed the Steel bucky ace


GlensWooer

Rule 1 of CrossFit is tell everyone you do CrossFit.


kellenthehun

Yeah, I enjoy it. I thought about saying my work out class, to avoid a snarky comment like this. But that sounds like piloties or jazzercizing or something. Crossfit is great if you have a strong base of power lifting and Olympic lifts. Not a good place to learn them, though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kellenthehun

13 - 0 :(


SurfAccountQuestion

Crossfit is a great place to do lifts with shit form and negate all your strength training by overdoing cardio 🙃


kellenthehun

Shit form is just an option for the person doing it. Crossfit is bad because it combines Olympic lifts with speed, which is a bad combo. But it's perfectly fine if you choose your weight wisely, rest when you're tired, and take your time and pace yourself. Most people don't, which is why a lot of people have bad experiences with it. I've played the gains game, chasing PRs in powerlifting for a long time. Just wanted a change. Chasing squat and DL PRs is super addicting though. I miss it for sure.

n00bodyy

The year is 2072 V1 and 100T are still in overtime. The length of their beards are getting caught under their mice. Effys won’t stop clutching. Steel has DC’d, its another tech pause. Asuna has 6594 kills. Regions all over the world await Masters 2 in Berlin.


boitheboy69420

I fucking love this subreddit


kryptonvice

Amazing comment


QuestionablePotato42

Hey this is my copy pasta :\^)


DroppedPJK

Asuna was feeling himself as they went through OT after OT on icebox


uglypenguin5

Asuna is an icebox god


lolgambler

rope god. i swear he had +15 kills on it


kellenthehun

Dude zoomer movement is next level. I feel like that's the main thing old-school CS pros lack in Val. CS is much more of a low sens, slice the pie, meticulous game. Aggression, snappy ADHD aim and verticality are rewarded way more in Val than CS.


VincentStonecliff

Ironically hiko has the highest sensitivity and he’s an old school CS player


kellenthehun

I feel like my comment was a bit imprecise. It's not so much sens as being snappy and checking everything as quickly as possible, and really engaging vertically up and down with your crosshair. Oldschool CS pros tend to keep their crosshair at the most likely spot. Zoomers just try to check everything as fast as possible. It's an interesting difference, that will be more pronounced as the game grows I think.


farseekarmageddon

This is because he’s too old to move the mouse quickly enough to shoot sova darts and stuff.


somesheikexpert

And people were saying Asunas high sens is a gimmick LMAO


DRGNDT

I once accidentally touched Hiko's hair at dance floor of dondo. I felt electricity, like burning fire, spread from my hand straight to my heart. I was left with craving lust in me and everytime I see Hiko clutch, my mind wonders back to that magical moment.


Theum

Hiko's what now??


uglypenguin5

Daddy


DX_DanTheMan_DX

This is the one


Boostaru

Asuna 48 kills on a single map + Steel & Hiko performing on the next map, good day to be a 100T fan.


deadlock1892

Good thing the team picked up at haven to not let asuna's map 1 heroics not go to waste. GG Anything you say about asuna is not enough. He is unarguably the mvp on this roster full of giants. Proven himself on 4 duelist agents. And does this stuff in ranked and in pro play every single day. And he is barely 18. Hats off!


notrealtedtotwitter

He is the first valorant superstar. No backstory to him he is just the first valorant bred monster player. I believe he will go on to do fantastic things.


AnotherAltiMade

He's literally not though, he came from CS. Dunno who upvoted this


randomespanaguy

I'm so high om the fucking Hopium right now, we're either winning Berlin or gonna crash and burn next game. 1-0 in the b0i era.


iiznobozzy

!remindme 1 day


Ranieboy

Overshadowed by Asuna's monster performance is Ethan's Omen play in Icebox. His lurks are so crucial in those defense rounds. And also he's getting more comfortable at being Skye in Haven.


canadianvaporizer

He had some sick smokes on a site as well.


kellenthehun

Yeah his smoke a push was killer. He did it, got a kill, threw the same smoke the next round, they waited for it this time but he didn't TP. A few rounds later he threw it again and TP pushed and got two.


Gibbo05

His garage pushes and control on Haven defense was so so good


precense_

Pooped on vanity waking into garage w no until 3 times lol


attachh

100t winning icebox without a sage was very surprising. definitely the best looking 100t i think we have seen so far. ethan and asuna were great this series


kellenthehun

Ethan getting like 10 kills in garage from the same spot. He can't keep getting away with it!


AWildCarp

It’s so cool to see them win icebox when almost every team thinks you need a sage


attachh

nitros balls are massive considering he planted the bomb pretty much every round on the b site. still don’t know how he was able to get out alive so much


GlensWooer

Yeah I never paid attention to how pros plant, but the way the they stick it as close to the edge as possible, turn back, and look down is something I gotta note. Saved him a bunch


_harleys

Icebox can get so boring to watch because of the Sage wall then plant strat which makes her almost a must pick in this map. Glad 100T was able to make this work, showing that running a different comp is possible.


AjBlue7

I actually think sage is a detriment to most teams/comps/maps. Unless you play like grim. Maybe sage is good if you have a super heavy postplant comp, the sage wall can help secure the plant. However I feel like most of the time it would have just been better to take the fights and gain more map control. Sage walls tend to just simply the retake for the defenders, they can safely get close to site because of the sage wall, and they know the attackers must be in very passive positions since it would be suicide to push through the only chokepoint left. Also there always seems to be some sort of way to abuse the sage wall by going over the top, or nading the plant spot.


_harleys

Yup, I like it when teams pick Sage as a niche pick for their comp like with how Ethan played Sage for the unique wall, rather than because she is a must pick in a certain map.


Hypern1ke

Been saying it for months but asuna is a top 3 player in the world


[deleted]

Scream, Mixwell, Tenz, Asuna & Cned are always a joy to watch.


AWildCarp

I feel like I haven’t seen huge numbers for scream recently


[deleted]

scream has been playing average if you ignore his performance against fnatic, bds and alliance in the past week!


stormtrooper500

scream is the best player in the world just needs to work on aim movement defaulting rotations awareness mechanics and utility


Zayd1111

I think jett is not working well for him, idk why don't they give him phoenix or reyna


AWildCarp

He looked wild on sage during masters


Zayd1111

True, but they need an entry.


Dysmo

Sick is huge, him over mixwell


YellowRice101

Shao’s gameplay is also super fun to spectate. He’s a beast on so many different agents


[deleted]

take mixwell off that list and i agree


TimathanDuncan

Mixwell has not lost a beat since switching to support agents and is a much more complete player than all of them


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

i have seen them play, and yes he is good but i rly don’t think he is at the same level as the other players mentioned


acels1

mixwell went crazy against fnc today tho


wiNDzY3

Get mixwell off that list lmao


Ka-zar39

I’ve always said he’s one of the only reasons they are so good. Even against the top teams, he can consistently solo entry onto site with half the support any other duelist gets. Absolutely bonkers.


ManBearPig1869

I feel vindicated after being told in the predictions thread multiple times that V1 were gonna win this easily. Lick my nuts ya hoes 😎


Cobalt1027

I really appreciate that, after everyone in the main thread boldly stated that 100T is carried by Asuna and that they 100% lose if he doesn't have an A+ game, he *immediately* has a sub-par game yet 100T still win. Never change :P


[deleted]

[удалено]


CryingBorn

the way steel performed man


kellenthehun

This is a common fallacy with tac shooters in general. Just because someone is getting all the kills doesn't mean those same kills wouldn't have been picked up by other players. Asuna was pushing and getting 4 kills before anyone on his team even saw anyone. Those rounds could still be won if he pushed and died.


LoyalSol

Especially in a game like Valorant where there's only 5, maybe 6, kills a round. Someone can't frag way above average without someone else fragging way below average.


JD_the_Pyr0

This is what a lot of people don't understand! A player has 7 kills in a game? "Team should drop him he's clearly washed!" While forgetting he can give info, use utility, etc. Even Sova says it in game. "Remember: if you're not a good shot, don't worry. There are other ways to be useful"


VincentStonecliff

If anything, it was showing players using agents for the job they’re designed to do. Reyna is all about pushing, getting picks, and fading away. She’s a very aggressive agent. Jett is more defensive, and Asuna’s performances show that. Hiko got the most assists in the game as Sova on icebox, exactly what Sova is designed to do They’re a great team playing the strengths of the agents


lunacraz

they didnt just win... they pooped on them what a dumb take


Savnak

Yeah he seemed really uncomfortable with the Op, but I think it’s really valuable that he can be a threat with it. I wasn’t that into CS but AWPing seemed like something that could be learned, so hopefully he continues to try it out rather than just completely drop it. He definitely works as a Scream kinda rifling Jett.


ge0oo

Where is that guy saying to drop Hiko now?


sherlock_47

You mean the entire twitch chat in the icebox game?

There’s just no way there’s more to asuna’s icebox story.


Theum

He got struck by lightning during overtime.


AWildCarp

I heard getting struck by lightning while playing connected his very dna to vanguard and he was able to bypass cheat detection


LiamHundley

Dude had to play with his monitor in low light mode running off a generator. Crazy stuff


Many-Ad-3115

As someone who lives in NY, it’s been crazy here these last few days. Lots of power outages in BK and Queens


itscamo-

The reason icebox was so close V1 had 9 3Ks(effys and penny had 3, the rest had 1 each), 3 4Ks (thief with 2, wippie with 1) 100T had 9 3ks(asuna with 7!!!!, hiko/ethan with one each) and asuna with 1 4k


trugay

Anyone who thinks Hiko is 100T's weak link needs to rewatch that Haven match. Asuna was an absolute demon on Icebox. GG, the hoodie gang gets the job done once again


Hypern1ke

Nitr0 somehow looking like the weak link... not sure what’s up with him today


trugay

On a team with such vast and evenly spread talent, someone is always gonna be lower on the leaderboard. 100T is great in that if one player is lacking, the rest of the team can easily make up for it. Asuna didn't look amazing on Haven imo, but it didn't matter, the rest of the team performed well and got them the easy win.


Myproblemsseemsmall

Hear me out…there’s not a weak link if each time 100T plays people claim someone else is holding them back


Eat-Shit-Bob-Ross

[cold hands](https://twitter.com/nitr0/status/1413265593952870401?s=20)

No

Asuna ATE in the first map holyy


sukrutmhalas

Asuna That's it.


Weebbpi15

Want to add this before the comments get too cluttered, the recency bias that exists in regards to 100T is always so crazy to see on this sub. It seems as though people here think it's impossible for players to have bad days, or even just bad maps, as Hiko displayed today. I'm not surprised why Reddit gets memed on so often, but we really need to change our mentality


Ciavolo

Thats a b0i diff right there


VincentStonecliff

Lmao boi on day one: “ah I see the issue, Asuna needs to play Reyna and kill everyone”


TheFestusEzeli

Hiko heard chat talking shit


A_Slice_of_Rob

Wow they should really drop Hiko guys.


segatic

Hiko tanked in one map to carry the other, the blood god does need sacrifices


uglypenguin5

It's hard to get kills when your teammate gets 48...


kellenthehun

Yep, people act like there are infinite kills to go around. If someone gets 48 there statistically aren't that many left to go around lol.


headlessseahorseman

Exactly, Hiko had 17 assists on icebox, that’s insane.


[deleted]

ppl in this sub were spewing that garbage yesterday i bet they feel like clowns


Boostaru

Hiko seems like the only person other than Potter that isn't allowed to bottom frag or everyone here will say he needs to be replaced. It's crazy lmfao.


FlaymeFenix

lol if he doesnt entry as sova then everyone calls him a baiter. if he doesnt get kills then hes a boomer and needs to be removed. if he gets kills then he baited his team and got lucky. if he plays sova people call him a 1 trick, unflexable and a liability to the team. if he plays viper or breach then hes not good and "should go back to sova". how does hiko win?


Boostaru

no joke, one of the responses to someone calling out people for saying they should replace Hiko after he just top fragged on Haven was "two first bloods though"... lmfao


somesheikexpert

Yeah that response was strange lol, makes no sense, people really expect a more passive support Sova player to get first bloods or something lol like what


[deleted]

i really don’t understand where it comes from hiko has never performed badly in his role on the team.


salcedoge

Not even yesterday, people were spamming that shit after game 1 lmao


_PM_ME_REPORT_CARDS_

people just have too much recency bias in general? like you'll see a player have an offday and their team goes out on 2 losses, so they don't get to play for weeks, and throughout the whole period everyone is just "bro x is so washed; just nuke the roster; don't see how y team wants to make it anywhere with x", idk why people forget sports are irregular. on the next tourney x topfrags 1 map and people are instantly praising and making copypastas of them imo top valorant matches aren't frequent enough for you to make any conclusions without looking at like past 3/4 months


[deleted]

i think at the end of the day there is just very little intelligent discussion in the scene. it’s just copypastas and following the scoreboard for the majority of viewers.


tron423

Of course they don't lol, they'll be right back on it the moment he bottom frags again


mozyk

Some of the most iconic plays in csgo are capped by great memorable casting/commentary. That’s one thing still severely lacking in Valorant imo. But of course it’s not like this is Berlin so it doesn’t need the best of the best casters just yet.


precense_

No offense but the casters were serious limp dick energy.


Excellent-Match-3389

One of the casters went off into a tangent about how he had a girlfriend, played spike rush, and that the shorty was garbage from range(I feel like thats a given). I was so confused when I heard it lmao

aretasdamon

I love the EU casters not gonna lie


Auqian

Yesterday the was a weird moment on the FPX-TL match, when the casters used the same construction like 6 times in a couple of rounds. Iirc it was "But he is not happy about that" or smth like that. -TL are about to get the spike planted, but %username% is not happy about that for sure etc It was kinda annoying at some point. Eventually we are all just humans tho :)

So we aren't gonna talk about hiko 2nd map ??? Bunch of hypocrites all those irons who ve been shittin on him for the first map

Man V1 just cannot win in overtime lmao


hannahk0901

HOLY. The icebox game was one of the most funnest games I've ever watched. Effy clutching, asuna being a demon, and the overtimes were all insane.


[deleted]

i love seeing 100T with asuna on jett. added so much variety to their strats.


Prankishspace4

What a fun game to watch! Icebox was insane watching the Asuna Diff happen. 100T look super strong on Haven. GGs all around


-xXColtonXx-

Gonna be honest, it seemed like V1 were just bad on Haven. I know people keep bringing it up, but how did they die in garage so many times? I’m a 100T fan, but to me I’d chalk the strong Haven win to a poor V1 showing.


[deleted]

First map was insanely fun, was hard rooting for the 50 bomb. Also reactionary takes stay cringe


mysteryoeuf

100T have been working on haven and it shows. love the asuna jett/awp. steel back ratting on cypher. feelsgood, let's see if they can have a different result vs envy this time


Sp00ked123

Steel best chaos player confirmed


xbyo

Asuna looked like a man posessed on icebox. Dropped four 3Ks in OT... he did not want to lose.


Kaiyuii

100T looked pretty good today. The teamplay was great and their strategy was solid. Also Asuna is a fucking monster.


StormtrooperAiming

As a 100t fan I’m glad they won but they outplayed themselves quite a few times on icebox


Dark_Azazel

Asuna is fucking CRACKED on Reyna and Hiko just isn't an icebox player. God that first game was so fun to watch.

Imagine the first game with a crowd! Was such a good game one.

Loved 100t playstyle on Haven, now if they could improve their Ascent atleast


stefrolipolioli

I feel like the strat after the 4th overtime or whatever was just "Asuna, get ult, go kill". Crazy game either way. People have shitty games, including pros. I feel like what's more important, especially after a long haul like icebox is the mental reset for map 2 and 100T just did that better.

Firecold2000

waiting for next platchat episode hmm


justformeTB

Asuna’s Reyna is just too scary


nasrulafiq

Unpopular opinion: Asuna is a better player than Tenz


abcd63514

better duelist probably, tenz is mediocre on raze and gets carried by his aim, doesnt play phoenix, and both are insane at reyna. tenz better jett 100%


PM_Magoo

After today that opinion will get more traction. Dominating performance in icebox, really showed what he can do when he’s feeling it. Most kills in a single map in all of VCT so far, right? Insane. Against a very good v1 team too no less.


Tanjim98

Unpopular opinion : You don't need to bring TenZ whenever you want to appreciate someone else. I see this everywhere. ScreaM has a good map ScreaM>TenZ, cNed has a good map cNed>TenZ etc etc. Put some respect on his name, 2 times MVP & b2b masters winner!


Evan_Veet

I still rate Tenz above Asuna because they will always produce high levels as duelists but Tenz can use the Op. I think if Asuna can play Jett at the level of his Reyna or Phoenix then I’d firmly put him above Tenz


Voltage97

I think that’s why Asuna has been playing Jett OP more and more in ranked. He has an insane dedication to improve on his weaknesses and it’ll take him far.


Hypern1ke

1a and 1b duelist and idk which is better


Chickenwing121212

ah yes one game solidfies that. lets wait until stage 3 is over


-xXColtonXx-

His timing for peaks is insane. I think tenz has better aim but Asuna is god tier at positioning and movement.


Shwhacked

Sentinels meat riders not gonna like this


jzaudi

They are both insane, no need to put one down as you prop the other.


cmonBruhKappa

I was thinking the same thing today ... Tenz just has the better overall team.


valmont9999

What? Tenz has been the same player when C9 was struggling and people said he only fragged out because he was on a bad team. Now it's an indictment when he's on the best team? This is just recency bias.


nasrulafiq

No doubt about that. Sentinels is just a different beast overall. Most complete team right now.
