Y’all, when life beating you down and you start doubting yourself, come back to this match. You only truly lose when you give up. Very inspirational Kola. Thank you

[@implorable]

i mean he did give up first game but we don't talk about that.

[@johnasamoah8668]

@@implorable actually, game 1 is what makes this comeback even more inspirational. To start of getting bodied and then a 0% SD, then coming back and sending the top 2 global ranked player out of the tournament, it’s very impressive, especially since spargo has been a bracket demon for kola

Kola definitely studied sparg0's playstyle so hard after low tide city and it shows. Great set.

[@elliottaddison8116]

Kola holding in the pop off, and us getting to see a half second of him walking behind the scenes and jumping for joy was excellent

[@plantsun4442]

Fucking insane. One of the best set of year. Watching this live made me go crazy especially this is after two Steve sets. I like Sparg0 more but Kola really did amazing job here.

This was absolutely the best set of Gimvitational, and is up there for set of the year imo. Kola's Roy and Sparg0's Cloud were literally two unstoppable objects lol, and it was insanely hype Mad props to Kola for overcoming his biggest bracket demon besides Leo. Regardless, Kola's Roy and Sparg0's Cloud are works of art and among the cleanest swordie play in Ult.

Wow, incredible play from both. Even as a Sparg0 fan. Have to give it up here. Those final seconds were incredible. You can tell, just by Sparg0' s reaction. Great set.

[@dexART_75]

5:30 was an unintentional footstool. I think the commentators missed the footstool sound effect. During the replay, it seemed like they thought Kola just randomly double jumped there.

[@colonelmustang2203]

damn good eye lol I would not have noticed that

[@SomeoneWeird-vx5jx]

Think the commentators was just talking about something else at the moment, and when they were going back to talk about the match spargo goes for that up b. Also you could tell by the yellow ring below Kola (something exclusive to a phantom footstool) and the huge height he gained

[@foemon2345610]

Sigh, no. What happened was at 5:30 Kola footstooled and at 5:32 he did burn his double jump. That’s what they were talking about and they were right

[@Dragonball-sk9qw]

Usually reverse a 3-0 set would take at least 20-23-25 minutes but 17-18 minutes it’s more or less a set of 3-0 or 3-1 Kola was okay at a speed that overwhelmed Spargo the person who beat him in grands and on lost to Lola once and after that trampled him so to see this is insane

His class of top tier players are just as good and he will need to have some crazy performances to separate himself from them if he wants to reach Leo status.
