[@firework8140]

Concerning the Gosu Academy, instead of giving free bundles to highest MMR, I think its best to give it to someone with highest MMR gained. That way low rankers that worked hard could be rewarded instead of people who are already on the top, or even push great players even greater like immortals to high radiant. Dont know if this comment will help change it doe

[@tristuu5962]

@@firework8140 Be aware of the short lurk or short aggression to destroy the KJ ult.

[@M0n4rc]

or maybe, just a thought here, riot could acc BAN smurfs. i mean i guy that gets near perfect scores in a match is a bit fishy. or they could just get rid of bot accounts that these guys purchase

[@dewaputra9251]

prx be like: ok so your map control is only your spawn

[@mitchfernandez4256]

Also prx: oh so you are the preys *proceeds to push spawn*

[@moyki10]

prx are not smurfs, they are trolls

[@shientioh4865]

​@@moyki10different strategy lol

[@hazelord]

Honestly if g2 plays like this then any team can easily counterplay by playing contact and keep most of their utils for holding retakes.

[@MebiManga]

@@moyki10 they are smurfing in Pacific atm though...

when u said prey, i thought u meant pray 🙏 because that’s what i do when i run into the 35/7 reyna on icebox running it down A main

All Respect for G2 fighting hard for Qualifying, almost nobody saw that coming from them

[@Asr.-]

my baby PRX needs to learn this about G2 if they ever meet... i feel like this would work so well against prx that loves to peek 😭🙏

[@mamamo5790]

The thing is PRX’s playstyle is way different than C9 and KRU. I think if G2’s style is preys grouping up, PRX’s style is predators grouping up

[@prakharchaurasiya8107]

except PRX has 5 smurfs

[@akward8246]

thats what TS did, then PRX got 0-2

[@voyagersentfromearth]

​@@akward8246 that's were you are wrong, Because jessi was taking way too many 1v1s, Ts just played prx at a strategic level, fakes, lurks, pull rotations, and the individuals were shooting

[@hazelord]

Ts cooked, prx didnt... Sad day to be a prx fan :(

[@azrimazwan2731]

really excited to see them against prx in shanghai with this gameplay

[@user-xg5dw2gm8f]

a wildebeest would absolutely take a lion on one vs one since lions are pack hunters

[@TotallyNoAim]

dang i love these videos, i can really tell how teams play, get more strats. And i have a way better image of the teams that are playing rn even tho i cant watch every match

[@marimcarden413]

Never did I think a video game invokes a whole National Geographic episode. TMV is literally the EU narrator.

[@freezedTIM]

I love this style of play where the idea isn't to be better, but to make every fight the opponent has to take, unfair. Every fight is 2v1 at least and it just feels so hard to beat unless you go crazy with aim.

[@timondesue7730]

rly nice video, I especially liked how you presented the gameplan across all the maps. only thing you could have added is their attacking gameplan, cuz all the rounds u showed were defense rounds, so I would have liked if u showed how they adapted on attack

[@user-xh1yl3wz2i]

"Togther we are strong,"

[@katsureiwarui8615]

Man I thought I heard "pray mentality" and I was so worried TMV was gonna become a missionary for some religion. Thank goodness I was wrong.

Such a cool video man

[@witozaar5988]

greatest vid in a while

[@ksarehere86]

This is advice that I've been saying for who knows how long. I always get matched in with people who think that you are supposed to aggressively peak and push up even on defense. What's really funny to me though is when I do get a team that is willing to play passively and in numbers instead of rushing in on their own guns blazing and then my opponents start getting butthurt in all chat. "WhY aRe YoU pLaYiNg So SlOw? YoU'rE sO wEiRd!"

[@happy_cookie3598]

how in the world do I tell my teammates in solo queue to do this 😭very useful for 5 stacks though lol

[@ranielle9271]

This also happened against Lev and it also helps a lot Valyn having prime Aspas numbers on IGL/Smoke. Ever since playoffs star bro is on a mission.

[@user-ex7yq6xq9s]

Valyn is a stats player

[@gawrflav]

good video!

[@jin.k948]

G2 will have to be aware of the potential to get hard anti strated by teams just contact walking into site if they consistently play this passive. Likely wont work as well in Shanghai

[@dragonseller]

Ya just enough to get into shanghai

[@dqeqw8369]

what does this mean for nrg attack side?

[@arsalanafroz]

TMV the goat, TMV down my throat

[@HarshilKabduwal]

4 Minutes and 7 comments? TMV has made it big.

[@mountainman077]

how about attacking side?

[@prathmeshgupta9671]

Team secret would have fun time faking them or taking site but not planting or prx would be in there face

[@daxtersamson3347]

G2 used the power of friendship

[@kaiya7942]

**NRG:* hmm... **Tmv few weeks later:* WTF IS NRG DOING?! THEY GOT NO MAP CONTROL! Look, 12 seconds in the round, all of them are huddling in tree!!

[@zP4niKz]

The way you put it is funny, but from what i see its just an util dump meta where it is straight up better to concede space and retake with your own util after

[@Jtowchi]

Thats not particularly true, just playing like that works better for g2

[@butcherdesuyoi]

The old LOUD retake

[@leahcimoyatse5511]

"You sir, are a fish"

[@jayvala6655]

sooo.... TMV just said, WilderBeasts should use OMEN flash against Lions, NOTED.

[@gamist8166]

This does seem defense specific, but cool nonetheless

[@zaidbaig6567]

But what about attack side..?

[@fredhuang6436]

what if the predator plays like the prey?

[@Negativeduelist]

My team five held a angle in a perfect position he jiggle peeked headshot us one by one I

[@moyki10]

That's how you destroy the egoist smurfs.

[@nonri500]

I don't think you understand TMV. Real smurfs in ranked come in dry, devoid of util Goes to spray transfer headshot three of my teammates Then bait the rest of his team for that sweet sweet ace..... Just jk, I see how controlled passiveness works well against teams that go guns blazing. Nice vid as always.

[@dankmemester1066]

that's great and all if you're on a pro team but half the time when you're up against smurfs it's the reyna and jett on your team typing in all chat "peak (peek) mid" and dying off the bat. also rabbits don't really "fight in herds" in the same way savanna animals do; they kinda just bait each other then run off in separate directions. they reproduce quickly anyway. wildebeests do stampede in herds though. that lion king scene is actually pretty realistic; stampeding wildebeests are pretty dangerous for any animal.

[@stonechestplate928]

in the first clip i thought g2 was attacking for some reason probably because i'm stupid but also they have the same team comp so :|

[@YashasBharadwaj]

How do i send this to my random teammates :(

[@rizAdams]

copy the link RN and spam it in the team chat whenever theres one enemy that have 20+ kills in the first half 😢 but we actually needs the short summary version of this 😭

[@Virtual__Vortex]

what abt their attacking youve shown only their defense

[@NOhomo543]

Biggest mistake I see is people being too SCARED to do anything. Giving the Smurf free 1v1s because people are just too afraid to fight back.

[@waywire7450]

remember folks, this only works if you have good aiming (not the best, just good)

[@klipklapklop3359]

Reason 1 this won't work your team isn't smart enough to play together against smufs

[@ninadjadhav8762]

I guess they will have to 5 stack at a single site when playing against PRX

[@prakharchaurasiya8107]

Alternate solution: Get the FNS buff

[@biveofhalo]

any1 in NA CA wanna play? peak plat 1 currently gold 3

[@AbdullahAlMamunBUET]

Never going to happen in solo queue, smurfs will keep stomping.

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

valyn clears klaus and vanity i fear

[@raeplaysval]

this isn't prey herding. this is called pack hunting.

[@akward8246]

thats what PRX doing

[@sui_comet]

Prx has 5 smurfs so how will this work against them?

[@WitheredW]

Win the ones they give up or anti strat them to hell and back to separate the players and triple peek them

[@ComCatri]

ask TS, they know how to counter PRX, but TS not qualify to shanghai 😂

[@haku7335]

I quit valorant cuz of smurfing and trolling. And im happier than ever since i did. Break the cycle guys.

[@pekka_37]

nice, first of all im gold and smurf is asc/immo thats a bigger difference then g2 angainst kru or c9, 2nd of all i have 4 randoms wo refuse to talk

[@benniwd2077]

Ok now give me a strat on how to affectively tell my mates that its not to smart to solo dry peak mid/main every round

[@stelthstriker7867]

Thing is, smurfs in ranked (the kind that gets complained about) would kill one of the three peeking them, and dismiss out only having taken 2 body shots of damage.

[@zolkaa6618]

If 3 people can only hit 2 bodyshots on a smurf then they deserve to lose
