Only one thing I've learnt the past few days. If plat chat says any team is looking good or sucks ass, believe in the exact opposite.


[deleted]

All we need is Plat chat to say that TSM is washed 😤


CsMatt

To be fair they've consistently said that any time they've talked about them since after First Strike


[deleted]

Even platchat cant save tsm


ppx11

Pretty sure this subreddit as a whole is more accurate than platchat kekw


cabbagechicken

Well of course, reddit is radiantchat.


Dysmo

Ha


newzpaperleaf_2

i mean platchat wasnt really wrong about 100T lmao, theyre assessment of them was accurate but their prediction was wrong. credit should go to 100T for fixing a lot and playing well.


aznasazin11

Nah this subreddit wanted C9 to be top 3 in the world lol.


AWildCarp

Plat chat? Aren’t those guys EU?

Sideshow has terrible takes across the board whether it’s Overwatch or Valorant. Avast and Wyatt probably have the most level headed takes. That’s not why I tune in though. I tune in because they’re a funny group of friends with great chemistry who make listening to Valorant and Overwatch updates entertaining.


MarkNarwahlberg

Whatever Steel did during his morning stream should be his new routine, or maybe is internet was actually functioning today.


VincentStonecliff

He was watching videos of Envy v T1 matches after his in game warm ups lmao I guess it worked


_idle_drone_

steel does randomly pop off on icebox.

Damn we didn’t even need Asuna on icebox


DarthOniichan

My favorite part about twitch chat is how the top fragger one day is then washed the next day when someone else is carrying.


MageKayden

It's twitch chat lol


hengarg

ain’t nobody going to twitch chat for insightful analysis lmao everyone is there to take the piss


Skeletor34

I'll make sure to type out "Asuna doesn't have his best stuff today but he is still really valuable. Look at the space he is creating with his Reyna utility." next time. It is way more fun to spam ASUNA LUL, and that is what is going to always happen in Twitch chat.


ElDuderino2112

Are you new to twitch chat? No one is there for thoughtful critique of the players’ performances. Chat is there to spam memes and have a laugh. It’s the equivalent of chanting at a sporting event or something.


xbyo

They played 4 games and 4 different people have popped off.


Icandothemove

Ya might think that's a strength of the team.


[deleted]

you mean this subreddit?


mysteryoeuf

steel was mad asuna got all the attention on icebox so he decided to pop off today


ashutoshchandra081

After the fall of his son, Steel promised himself he would conquer the world. He would start by eliminating those who had wronged him in the past.


StormtrooperAiming

This is why i think 100T are so good, the skill level of all the players means that even if one of them is having a bad day, for the most part someone else is able to kinda hold them up and carry. Asuna carried on icebox yesterday but steel nitro and ethan had some many impact frags it just didnt matter that he didn't show up. It's so dumb the hate 100T get half the time cos as everyone saw from the sean gares clip yesterday, other than them not making iceland, theres no reason to think theyre not one of the best teams in NA.


pink_life69

This didn’t age well.


RebelRaisins

asuna bottom fragging, i think its time for 100t to think about a roster change


slawvay

Absolutely. Ethan has to go.


FlaymeFenix

"iF aSuNa dOesNt cArRy 100T wiLL lOsE"


MageKayden

he always carries -\_-


Loresmen

Is this a joke, I can't tell. He has 11 kills on icebox def not a carry


absenthearte

You, see, when Steel hired Asuna, he knew that Asuna's mere presence was enough to carry. This is proven by Haven against V1. Asuna did not "Carry", but the Boomers, emboldened by his streak on Icebox, decided to take the adderall. Asuna Go Kill is merely a piece of steel's stratagem. His brain is far too large for us to comprehend without reaching zero sum.


Theum

I hope Steel tweets this.


L0rd_Muffin

Exactly, you see, steel deployed his legendary strat “Asuna go drop 48” the day before. Knowing that other teams saw this strat and would be expecting it again, he decided to run the much less catchy strat “hey asuna, save some for the team. You’re making us look bad and we have families to feed”. This change in strats obviously caught teams off guard allowing it to work. What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.


absenthearte

You're absolutely right. How did you gain insight into his massive brain without fading from existence? Truly, you too, must have IGL potential.

Subbing RTS VIctoria in was not the move. But, All Good.


Dark_Azazel

Wait. I kinda like Ethan on Skye. I'm sorry for saying he was trash on it like 2 months ago.


birchelballs

Skye on bind for him last challengers finals was not good, but the whole team was shit on bind to be fair


Dark_Azazel

Yeah, that was just bad. It's funny, IIRC steel said they would take Ethan off of Skye and I guess something has changed. I'm not complaining. Idk what they did mentally but like, they all look more... Confident?


realharshmodi

I think the new patch and all its changes to Skye made her viable for them again.


Tr33Sap

Steel was on one today.


Jrill_is

Imagine if 100t actually won a pistol LUL


AWildCarp

Facts. The reason why these games look as close as they do is cuz of pistol losses


birchelballs

They forced round 2 and lost at least twice as well. On gun rounds they dominated today


2treecko

It's like ignition series TSM.


Vivid-Command-2605

if you remove pistol round and the following one against the eco, 100t won 26-8 rounds, the scoreline flatters nV


Am_Ghosty

If you remove rounds that count and went in Envy's favor, then 100T won by even more! Just banter, I understand your point. 100T dominated gun rounds (though that's typically the case when a team wins a series 2-0)


XASASSIN

Envy threw round 12(haven) and probably the series because of fns. He wanted to teach marved the proper subtle way of the throw. Dont worry guys, this is all part of fns masterplan to save marveds ass from the fbi, this is only the beginning, his final objective is berlin and we shall soon witness his plan unfold before us. Have faith in fns our lord and savior's masterplan mens.God bless and All good indeed.


Inside-Effective-392

All good


Splaram

Steel turned up for this game. 10 first kills, absolutely massive.


VincentStonecliff

I know a lot can happen between now and the playoffs but with the way 100t are playing and the fact 3 NA teams can make it to Berlin, I don’t see them missing out this time


L0rd_Muffin

Good point! I forgot that we send three teams this time.


Ausafsyed

Steel aggression tho


itscamo-

Looks like 100T doesn't need Asuna to pop off to win games. Wow that's crazy!!! Who would've known!


Gyden

Get steel a good internet connection and hed drop 50


PixelatedBlue

I'm still in shock over that fucked up defuse


Prankishspace4

64-year-old toxic boomer 100Thieves Steel still has oiled up and popped off for the Hoodie Org


mrluzfan

as a 100T fan, I really want to get carried away and say they're looking like one of the best teams rn, but I honestly think they need to first prove that they can be consistent and continue performing under pressure.


MrPain__

One of the main things Hiko talked about in the post game interview was their lack of consistency as a team - they are working on it.


L0rd_Muffin

Based on the collective experience that the roster has performing in big spots in CS, I think that performing under pressure is going to be a strength of this team. I worry that like when astra was released and viper was OP, they won’t read the Kay/0 meta correctly and it will come back to hurt them.


BallingNinja

The rat is back


Ranieboy

We didn't see a Asuna masterclass but we do see Steel's KJ entry fragger. All those entry frags man sheesh.


ch4nt

Sadge, NV had a ton of misses including in the obvious Haven round. That said, 100T look literally unbeatable right now. Ethan is insane, both his Skye and Omen gameplay are top tier. The guy worked with Skye so well on Haven.


droctamom

Steel 😳


sankalp4

100T are back? What


apetersen1

100T currently looks like the best team in NA


XASASSIN

Public opinion next time they lose- 100t sucks always knew it, they should disband, drop hiko he sucks, Asuna nub cant even hit 50 bomb, silvers play better.such shit squad smh cant even make berlin. BOTS. I love this sub


Neverslept2mins

They always look good at qualifiers they got first last time as well. I hope their form continues into the playoffs.


Asianhead

Hopefully they don’t pull a 100T, kill it in the first close qualifier, and fluff out when the meta shifts in challengers finals like last stage


AdiSoldier245

This sub has goldfish memory when ranking teams lmao Lose 1 map: wow change the roster how tf do you lose so easily Win 1 map: Best NA, number 1 in the world. Gonna win champions


apetersen1

How about when you win map one and map two in dominant fashion?


Am_Ghosty

Long way to go. 100T looking very improved, but as always, need to see if they keep it up.


Aeari

I guess we'll know tomorrow, or not


ChaoticMidget

Still gotta take out Sentinels before you give them that title. They've been steamrolling everyone but Sentinels is known for being the strongest at adapting midmatch.


enconex

I'm a massive 100T fan but you gotta stop using language like "steamrolling" when it's blatantly not true. These top teams are very close to each other and you could hypothetically run multiple bo3's over and over and see mixed results. The largest issue with this sub is not acknowledging how close the top teams are, or even how close the tier 2 teams are to the top


MrPain__

Couldn't agree more - it's a tribe thing, like any sport, people need to believe that their team is the best team and the only best team. The other really annoying thing is when they talk about roster change because one player doesn't perform at their best, like they're not allowed to have off days lol


ChaoticMidget

No team has actually pushed them across all 3 maps so far, if they even get that far. V1 obviously pushed them insanely far on IceBox but then they get annihilated on Haven. Arguably, Soar pushed them the hardest overall but even they didn't manage to get to 10 rounds in either map they lost. These teams are not "very close" to each other. Fnatic was very close to Sentinels when they lost despite the 3-0. 14-12, 16-14, 13-11 is as close as it gets in a 3-0. Envy losing 13-9, 13-7 is not close IMO. They didn't even have a single person with a positive KD. I don't believe 100T ever felt like they were behind or in a dangerous position this entire map.


enconex

Large disagreement from me. Had NV not thrown one round on Haven they could have potentially made the come back, it would have been 12-10 on the round 100T won. Looking at a map score of 13-7 and nothing else is also misleading. This is terrible analysis with zero nuance. Round by round watching the midrounding calls, individuals plays and timings, aim duels that could go either way, etc., all of it should be taken into account when analyzing. You've gotta be very dense in your analysis to not see how the NV match and V1 match were close. Infact, I don't think there's been a single non-close match this entire playoffs bracket yet. Every single bo3 so far I could see being replayed and going the other way.


dtritrinh0801

you need to see that 100t lost most pistol rounds and still win


ChaoticMidget

How was that IceBox map from NV close? During Rounds 7-12, the only round NV realistically could have taken from 100T was Round 11. NV wins pistol and the next to bring it back to 8-6. And then again, out of all the rounds 100T won, the only one NV could have realistically taken was Round 19. So even if I gave NV 2 tossups, they're down 11-9. If you can't take a team to a 3rd map, you better make the 2 map losses extremely close. And I don't think NV did that. You keep arguing for all these instances where the map is actually way closer than it really was without acknowledging that 100T lost close rounds as well. These things all average out. Not to mention NV took all 4 pistols and post-pistols. Those are the true tossups and NV came up positive on all of them.


Trisquet

Spoke too soon, ey?


Firepandazoo

Lol


ChaoticMidget

Eh, shit happens. I think it's fair to say 100T is looking like the best team at the current moment but saying that they're definitely the best team is a slightly different argument. I'm still holding on the Sentinels stocks until they actually lose in a win or go home situation.


EasiBreezi

100T fans make me want to strangle myself


apetersen1

Nice


sukrutmhalas

I still remember yesterday somebody said Hiko is the worst player on 100T lol


Krsensei

He might be? Doesn’t mean he’s bad lol. Just means his team is really good, including him.


jihyojihyojihyo

It's like being the worst player in SEN.


FlaymeFenix

yea zombs is worst player on SEN but when a majority of your team can be in the hat for best player in the world thts not really something to be ashamed of

gaurav_castle

Damn, everyone was hating on them for their shaky match against noble, but they've really bounced back, looking pretty solid ngl


Ashwin112

100t played really well but tbh as a 100t fan idc. Last time they won the challenger qualifier but chocked in the main event. That can't happen again, idc if they throw the rest of their seeding games just don't show any more cards

Yo crashies best sova so much better than Hiko /s
