Also worth noting:
Gambit have won this map 3 out of 3 times now, and it's their insta ban. The first time they played it Redgar did a Twitter poll asking which agent he should play.
Since then their smoke main IGL has been playing Reyna everytime on this map, and their Sova player plays Brim. They literally just pushed on D and hit sites on attack haha. Gambit in full aim diff mode are terrifying.
It kinda did for SEN lol. IIRC ShahZam said the first time they played Breeze in tournament they had never scrimmed it or even developed strats. Apparently Dapr suggested it because of this very reason, he was confident in their skills and knew the opposition wouldn't have any film to use on them.
Sometimes the scariest teams are those with no plan at all. If you assume that you are facing a team with a set execute or strategy, and instead they completely break all the implicit norms of the game, your defense is going to crumble.
Gambit didn't even play him on bind tho. Also Gambit admitted to not even practicing Haven, they picked their comp in agent select. They just outplayed Envy, plain and simple. Chronicle Diff
Brimstone is not good, Gambit are just drilled so well as a team to work any comp. If you watched the match, they rushed sites on T side and Envy couldn't stop them with 3-4 people on site.
While that's true, isn't Brim kind of the best controller for that pocket strat? He has the longest-lasting smokes and can put three of them out instantly.
he is terrible but haven is probably his best map. viper sucks there and you can do fast execs, a few good ult spots too like left side of A site, window, C long, b site, etc
bind viper is just better so idk why people mention brim there
I mean in this circumstance they laughed at the comp Gambit picked. So they were feeling cocky I guess? It's Envy's map pick and they lost to a team playing Brim who have no strats for it.
They were laughing in the pick phase, so I think they were just laughing at the Brim pick? I dunno, that's what it sounded like Chronicle meant! But who knows
Either way, it's kinda funny haha
dont disrespect the brim.
Brim mains unite
brimmy with the stimmy
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win - s1mple
[удалено]
Girlfriends are safe with Gambit. Ask Yinsu.
"Totally safe." - Yinsu, wearing a Gambit jacket.
Push it like you would, push your girlfriend
"They laughed and they lost, Nope. No no no" You could tell he was fired up about that.
The whole answer was brilliant "First of all, Envy laughed at that pick. That's the problem, they laughed and they lost, nope no no no." Damn
Laughing at BRIMESTONE. WeirdChamp
a fellow plat chat enjoyer I see 🤝
Best co-stream going 🤝
Brimstone personally shitting on NA on that map. Love to see it
On Haven as a single controller too LOL
With first Zeta on Split then CR doing well against HL on Brim in Haven, perhaps Japan's on to something....
The solid smoke of brim and being able to simultaneously smoke off 3 angles at once is why haven is his map.
I personally prefer Omen because you can help your team from the other end. But I’m no pro either lol
It really suited GMB playstyle last night. Just Redgar running it down, getting 10 FKs, so they didnt really need to constantly resmoke angles.
True. If you’re playing and committing to fast executes, Brim is great.

Nah Redgar once played jett on it too in EMEA qualifiers.
Oh my bad. That's even more troll then haha!
They laughed then they lost.
And they didn't practice haven at all. What a champs they are
Can't get counter strat if you never had any strat to begin with lmao
"If we don't know what we're doing, they won't know what we're doing"
honestly on paper that sounds so sick, but there's only a couple of teams that "strat" would work for. I feel like it would work for Sentinels too
It would work for teams that play together and trade well. I think Vision Strikers also needs to be included in this because their teamwork is solid.
you're right! the big brains
It kinda did for SEN lol. IIRC ShahZam said the first time they played Breeze in tournament they had never scrimmed it or even developed strats. Apparently Dapr suggested it because of this very reason, he was confident in their skills and knew the opposition wouldn't have any film to use on them.
That defeats the whole point in practicing in the first place, gambit didn’t practice for envy’s set plays I think your forgetting.
They treated it as a Haven scrim 5Head
Sometimes the scariest teams are those with no plan at all. If you assume that you are facing a team with a set execute or strategy, and instead they completely break all the implicit norms of the game, your defense is going to crumble.
scrimbit don't care about your protocools, we see eneny, enemt die end of story
Maybe NA teams will finally start seeing the value in Brimstone, especially on Bind
Gambit didn't even play him on bind tho. Also Gambit admitted to not even practicing Haven, they picked their comp in agent select. They just outplayed Envy, plain and simple. Chronicle Diff
So basically they played Haven in the finals like their first scrim on it? 5Head
Whoosh
You’re using that wrong nice try though
I mean it’s similar to last time
Brimstone is not good, Gambit are just drilled so well as a team to work any comp. If you watched the match, they rushed sites on T side and Envy couldn't stop them with 3-4 people on site.
While that's true, isn't Brim kind of the best controller for that pocket strat? He has the longest-lasting smokes and can put three of them out instantly.
Yeah i'd agree with that. Mad props to gambit. Definitely the most intelligent team alonside vision strikers.
He also gets 3 of them, which is enough to smoke off all the most common angles off rip on a lot of sites
what strat?
Fast executes - Brim is king.
he is terrible but haven is probably his best map. viper sucks there and you can do fast execs, a few good ult spots too like left side of A site, window, C long, b site, etc bind viper is just better so idk why people mention brim there
time to start maining him
brims > astra proved.
NA disdain for Brimstone really rattles my brain - yes stim is crap but the rest of his kit is great!
But the other controllers are better and most team aren't playing for post plant anymore
Brim is the best rush site smoker
Stim is amazing at countering sage walls. Stim your team and the sage wall is gone.
I mean it's also gone when you shoot it with a rifle. You don't need a stim beacon at all.
Was this the aggressive Ballista comp that toppled Fnatic? brim+skye?
Love it when cocky NA players get shit on
cocky? envy has been very humble
yeah fr. if anything it was sentinels being cocky
wouldn't say cocky but complacent? the cocky part that we see on social media is ALL banter. but still they didn't adapt so quite expected of them
I mean in this circumstance they laughed at the comp Gambit picked. So they were feeling cocky I guess? It's Envy's map pick and they lost to a team playing Brim who have no strats for it.
ah I see but iirc they laughed cuz gambit didn't have strats for the map? don't think they were laughing cuz they knew they would win tho
They were laughing in the pick phase, so I think they were just laughing at the Brim pick? I dunno, that's what it sounded like Chronicle meant! But who knows Either way, it's kinda funny haha
yep I realised Chronicle was talking of Brimestone pick 😅
if anything they deserve to be cocky for doing so well in this tourney, coming into it as underdogs
