In the first round of haven, TS decide to run their pistol strat of a fast A exec. In their eco round, TS go for an A rush to maximize the danger of their short range guns. In round 3, TS want to prevent DRX from creating complications and decide to run right into the eco stack, knowing they can simply win the gunfights with their superior weaponry. In round 4, Jessievash has his hunter's fury and realizes they can get great value out of it if they use it on the site with the most defenders, so they decide to hit A with it. In round 5, TS expect that DRX will try aggressively pushing on an eco. Knowing it's unlikely for them to push through A long without a breach, TS rush through A long themselves and take A off of the free map control. In round 6, TS wants to keep hammering on A to force DRX to rotate to that site faster, which frees up the other sites for later rounds. Having lost the round prior, they are expecting DRX to expect them to no longer go A. Thus, they go A in round 7. In round 8, TS want to inflict psychological damage to their opponents, so they go A. Having been forced to go C in round 9, DRX might be led to believe that the cycle of going A has ended. It has not. TS go A in round 10. In round 11, TS decide to switch things up and hit A by jremy pathing through sewers instead of A long. Because round 12 is the last round of the half, it would be the expected play for TS to take advantage of their conditioning and go elsewhere, so they go A to remain unexpected.
I remember this series being one of the most exciting in the entire VCT Pacific regular season, so I was really disappointed that most content creators completely ignored it. Thank you for making this vid!!
As a TS fan watching this live, I was so hyped! A team fighting for their last chance at playoffs vs a pacific juggernaut who never lost a match i was literally screaming when they won against drx
look, the production quality of your videos are amazing. y'all clearly put so much work into these. i really love these. I don't even play valorant anymore, but I love that i can watch these and still appreciate the game
I think the comedic style of the editing really really helps to keep people like me who are new to the Valorant scene invested in learning more, I think it adds a lot to the video and at the same time I am learning how to use characters
I just started Valo and don't even understand common callout but your video are so comprehensive and detailed, even a pleb like me could understand. Good job!
not gonna lie in comp i convinced my team to push into the enemy spawn every round through mid on pearl, did it every round and it actually worked because. How dumb would they have to be to keep doing it over and over again.
Bro i am not even gonna be joking, but as defenders its really really hard to stop a hard rush on A site, no matter what you do there are not so many places you can be, behind the box? get naded or after shock, on haven window? just get smoked off and the last place is CT hallway which is tecnically leaving the site, i wish to see some lil changes to A site ngl
hey look, i'm only plat rn and to some of you it may sound stupid, but since they use soo much util just to get in site, can't they give up the site and try to retake saving all their utils to use them together?
I feel like team secrets kj turret isn’t important anymore if drx can’t hold a why don’t drx try flank and 1v1 kj. If drx win the 1v1 duel then they are able to oppress a main.
just want to point out if foxy9 would have fired frames earlier he would have bagged the kj round 7 at 14:14 he shot right as he flinched. very upsetting to watch
