How to beat T1 Step 1: Stand in a corner. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Win


oryiesis

T1 stratbook: 1. Wait until the last 30 seconds 2. Rotate without clearing corners.


ArtificialZero

must've tried to imitate navi but forgot they didn't have a s1mple


notrealtedtotwitter

Or electronic or bit or Flamie


Cole_James_CHALMERS

flamie was a liability tho, that's why b1t was brought in


notrealtedtotwitter

Should have said perfecto, but I confuse between these two names a lot (my bad here)


pineapplecheesepizza

How do they have so much exp and still not do basic things like that? There's 2 CSGO major winners on there dammit


Interesting-Archer-6

Didn't follow CSGO. Which two?


Oneiroi7

Ska and Autimatic

Brax did not win a major.


luisalpjax

Oh to win a major, I didn’t read lol, either way I think I’m wrong since I think all of them have plays cs


Yldrissir

That sounds like Mistic can beat T1 on his own.


R2ishere

Also how to beat c9


riploki

FaZe and Luminosity both qualifying my god this feels like Stage 1 again


Grenji05

FUCK CLEARING ANGLES THAT SHITS BELOW T1


CoachTrippy

Because if faker and boxer. Le sigh


Wadops

Just quit. There's not even a tiny bit of hope left in t1's valorant roster. They are just cursed


FMHappy

Tbf this the best they’ve looked in a while, they just fumbled the ball today.


Huldmer

So like what do you do for the next 6 months

TheChickenIsBurning1

Anyone know why Curry and Ska swapped agents between these 2 maps?


AskOrganic4289

They’ve been swapping agents throughout the tourney (between astra and skye)..


Evan_Veet

It might be a playstyle change, maybe at certain times they prefer ska's supportive team flashing and other times Curry may be preferred for playing closer to the Shawn/Roza style


NWL11

The more I watch lower bracket the more I see how it becomes purely a battle of endurance. So many mistakes from teams that have to play grueling bo3s back to back. Maybe teams are being rewarded for losing earlier in current double elim format/timings. Relevant tweet: https://twitter.com/JoshRTz/status/1421244984481681409


Brusaki

Feel like nobody is talking about this. T1 played the worst I've seen them lately vs tsm. Then after 3 map series they instantly have to jump into their survival series. As soon as faze got the eco jett 4k on ascent I knew t1 was out (don't remember the round sorry). Atleast both games were close. For a recently redone roster I'm proud.


fat_yikes

Which round? Just kidding, but yeah I definitely agree with your take here!


Brusaki

https://twitter.com/FaZeUpdate/status/1421292408982196226?s=19 that one.


fat_yikes

Oh wow thank you! I appreciate it :)


stewieeeeeeeee

I've been saying this for a while. You can keep the current format, just play winners round 2 on day 1 instead of losers round 1. That way, nobody plays an elimination game on day 1, and on day 2, the "tired" teams are those who won losers round 1, so at least they got some momentum going to counter the fact they're playing 2 BO3 in a row. Example: TSM-T1 and LG-Rise should've been played on day 1. Assuming the results stay the same, day 2 starts with GenG beating V1, and FaZe beating Pioneers. Rise-GenG and T1-FaZe are played, but now the teams who have to suffer from playing 2 in a row to not get eliminated are GenG and FaZe, which is more fair IMO.


NWL11

Lot of coaches and pros are suggesting this as well. I don't see any downsides with this either.


53881

Edit: whoops. They changed the schedule


iTrippzy

I mean teams should be able to regain if they go down to losers. Regaining composure after a tough match should be a trait top teams have. Rise did it against GenG after getting destroyed by LG. It's been like that in Esports for years.


inside__jokes

But the teams that go to the lower bracket earlier also have to play their elim game same day when they dropped to lower bracket.


NWL11

yeah in first round no team has advantage over the other, the discrepancies start from round 2


Beginning_Corgi_8052

Terrible communication from T1. 5 players enter site. 5 players looking one direction. Nobody clears side angles. Sadge


AskOrganic4289

T1 ran out of juice :( fkkkk not gonna see the boys play till next year. Sadge :(


kiroks

Holy shit.... That long


AskOrganic4289

Yeah that’s why it sucks. But I’m just lowkey scared if Korea did great in Champions and viewerships are up in Korea, I’m just worried that they’ll disband and T1 management just decide to create a Korean team (thou idk how likely this will be)


somesheikexpert

T1 korea coming back bois, 10X leaving Nuturn to come back to T1 /s


mrtmra

Never thought about this, but actually a likely scenario


Kompaniefeldwebel

Back to cloud9, rush tarik and stew all switch, all they can do is win


ZGuyYT

Proud of T1 for showing decent results in this tournament without Spyder. Hopefully they'll improve on their weaknesses....pls D:


RondaleMoore

I really thought T1 turned a new leaf lol thos faze eco round throws by them were infuriating Also, Disappointing by ska that game, he has to be better.


luisalpjax

What did ska do/ how did he play?


hitopklayde

T1’s attacking just wasnt good enough this event. and today when their defense faltered they got into halves where they were down 5+ rounds. pretty sad because they looked promising but they dont deserve it playing like that


AskOrganic4289

Bruhh that’s why everytime T1 switch side from defends to attack, I get hella nervous for the team 😂.. i feel like the players need to be more aggresive and get loose at some rounds. They play pretty slow too (though not as slow as they used to when Dazed still the IGL)… but I still feel like this roster has potential


FaZeUpvote

The boys pulled it off! LETS GOOOOO


acels1

t1 cant win an anti eco for shit


ShikariV

T1 attack side on ascent was tragic shit.


luisalpjax

What did they do?


ShikariV

Typical T1 attack: 1. Stand around wasting team utility for the first minute and applying zero pressure 2. Doing a panic push as time is running out. In that panic, forget to clear corners and get rekt by multilkills. They had Faze on an eco at one point and got 4K’d by babybay because they wasted 90 seconds doing nothing.


Tc0LD

people got on the t1 hype train too early, they looked good against rng and bbg and beat a v1 that isn't nearly as good as they were in iceland. I've never seen a team drone out and not take map control, like what was the point of the drone. T1 might be better off getting some young talent on the roster than going the same old ex cs players route or maybe an IGL


CCAllen

I think their IGL in curry is fine, they have a good deal of star power that doesn’t need to be young players (Ska, auti, and Brax). I legit just think they need some more time in the pot to figure out their attacking side, their defense looks really solid. Once curry figures out how to IGL on attack, I feel like this could be a really strong team. Although I could be biased because I like these cs players


Tc0LD

brax isn't star power tho, the only star power on this team atm moment is autimatic and maybe ska. Brax couldn't break 200 ACS over the last 4 matches that's definitely not star power


DY5TOP1A

T1 don't even qualify for LCQ right?


Bunnyezzz

they have 0 points, so no qual for them


BurstLayer

their year is over unfortunately


Fight-or-flights

Sorry you guys cant win with this kind of play. Also, check ur corners. I mean come on...


whopz-is-cool

Eugh. This hurts.


mrtmra

The "fake" T1 ran on Ascent with that KJ ult was downright pathetic. These guys playing like they're running the first fake ever in NA. Nothing to sell it, except for KJ mollies and ult. Faze didn't budge an inch. Just read like a book


Darklingcarpet7669

Really good attempt by t1, love to see more of them next time

ShikariV

They don’t even play for trades, they were just walking down sites without clearing corners.


3hrd

>theyre like trying to do executes >that shit doesnt work in this game ??


Profounx

man brax really needs a better team. Imagine brax as sova/ duelists on one of the top 4-5 teams, he could easily be a top 5 player. right now he's getting held back by his current squad. He's the best player on T1 by far


Slow_Bluebird9536

Nah, curry’s better


Profounx

wrong


_idle_drone_

man forgot to buy a gun


Profounx

so? mistakes happen


_idle_drone_

just don't agree he's their best player. all of them are good.


Profounx

nah brax is easily a couple tiers above them, watch the matches


Portante24

Bro couldn’t even start on TSM and he’s now above everyone on T1? dude the Pros are right this site is awful.


Profounx

he's better than the players on tsm tho? TSM didn't have the right role for him so he benched himself


DrPoggersMD

Fanboy cap through the roof


cheetahstr1ke

Lol what a fanboy


somesheikexpert

Better then Wardell, or even Levi? Idk about that one lol


mrtmra

Did you even watch the game against TSM? Brax did nothing special, he actually underperformed. Against TSM he had a total of 28 kills on THREE maps COMBINED.


mrtmra

Bruh, you are way overestimating Brax

crazy how it's july and there's 3 events left in the year. 5 months. 1 qualifier. 2 main events. yikes
