He is Australian. And it's a meme on his channel

Pantoja isn't getting finished haha. I've never even seen him dropped bad, let alone finished.

Yeah I feel he will get caught rushing Erceg and as we seen erceg can drop

I am not Australian but you are from Canada. Did you know the top 3 most played sports in the world Australia is number 1 at 2, taking away soccer. Did you know they are the best at Olympics per capita. Best athletes in water. Half the crusty demons are even Australian. I can go on and on. Canada is sh!t.

[@firstgivemearimjob.second8739]

All he has to do is survive the first few rounds. Then exchange with him when the power isn’t all there.
