That s1mon clutch on Lotus was brutal. They literally had to wait a fraction of a second.

[@broomlord8557]

​@kaiba8954 Real, Heretics played it correctly it's just S1mon decided to be a baller

[@snoozy1622]

@@broomlord8557are you sure bro? You don’t think it would have been better for someone to swing to stall and get info on a potential push and the other to wait for the lock down, the way they played it is THE ONLY WAY the could have lost that round

[@broomlord8557]

@@snoozy1622 not necessarily. They had the right spacing they just weren't expecting S1mon to be sitting in the lockdown. It's not a bad call besides miniboo was 1hp so he was the bait

[@snoozy1622]

@@broomlord8557 and they should known thats an option, and they didnt space it correctly no one baited for anyone no one swung wide while the other was close, no 123 peek. the spacing and they dont have the fact he could be in the lockdown in their mind is the reason they threw. I see that round more as a heretics throw than a s1mon clutch cause it was just an awful mistake that shouldnt have happened. they swung 1 by one, even after miniboo died benji could have not swung but he did, and it lost them the round. there's is no way you think that spacing is optimal

I’ve seen many different map theory guides from many high level coaches and players including FNS, Vapen, Teets, and even analysts like Sideshow, TMV, Sliggy, and Sgares. I’ve yet to see ANY of them discuss why certain areas are so important and what decisions you should be making on a macro level as well as Platoon has. Please keep making these videos, they are incredibly helpful. If there’s any way you could do map theory guides including VCT examples for each map it would be game changing!

[@platoonval]

I may not do explicit guides but will always try to teach a bit about each map if I'm talking about a team's style on it! Appreciate the kind comment :)

I'm sure they will win a major sooner or later. 2023 4 of their 5 players played Tier 2. They are born 2006, 2x 2005, 2004 and 1997... so beside of the IGL super, super young. They just need to stick together and continue the grind. Def. one of the most impressive teams in the history of VCT - 2 grandfinals in a row in their debut-season and then lost twice because they got their best maps banned (part of the game obviously). TH are just awesome in my eyes.

[@StochasticMCSG]

Same b-main control theory applies to a lot of maps, like sunset. A site retake is really strong when you clear mid with some utility on the rotate or even threaten a flank.

[@quickfingers7062]

If heretics had either woot or miniboo on an operator I think their lotus would’ve been fine. With an operator set up rubble or mound they could leave the operator holding the line and then stack elsewhere. The attackers would then have to either fight against a stack or play with a numbers disadvantage.

[@Sg190th]

That 2-11 comeback from G2 was wicked. They prob would have beaten GenG and got map advantage. Oh well. At least they made map 5 on both finals.

[@esfera2181]

[@glopple]

If Reins nerves didn’t affect him in the finals they would’ve won champs he was the best in the world until the final. His gameplay and body language just showed how nervous he was I hope he beats the nerves he’s an insane player and deserves to win.

[@rustyastronaut3118]

if smoggy wasn't nervous on first map, it would have been a 3-0. talking about ifs is a never ending rabbit hole.

Bro stop saying its bad luck 😭 its only bad luck if one of their players gets struck by a lightning bolt so they cant play in the grand finals. Like brotha if they lose they lose. They were winning a shit ton of bs rounds in the grand finals. Edg clearly looked like the better team.

[@angryhiss]

hope we win all in 2025 lest go los niñossss

[@premiere5th661]

Great analysis. TH might have a great chemistry, but they lack of solid gameplay. At the first i think they alwaya lose aim duels against edg geng fnatic etc, thats why they afraid to take some map control (lose the mental war). But in the end its become a missing part on their lotus gameplay. Anyway, they dont need to change their lotus gameplay at 2025, cz riot gonna pull out lotus icebox from map pool XD. They should focus on split n pearl, hope they can bring first trophy at vct 2025

[@ClarenceWijaya]

This is the tactical sign explanation, but the much more simpler explanation is, they are a brand new team, and a brand new team don't deserve to win anything. They may have cracked aim and good stratbook, but they are inexperienced

[@weirdguy9659]

tf is that supposed to mean?

[@ClarenceWijaya]

@@weirdguy9659 despite their hardwork, large part of why Heretics succeed this season is the downfall of the OG teams. Had PRX, DRX, Fnatic, Navi, NRG, Loud, performed at their level last season, we won't be talking about Heretics, Gen G, and G2. That is why I am glad to have EDG win champs, because as much as I don't like EDG wins Champs faster than PRX, they are one of the teams who sticked to the old roster, only changes haodong to Simon.

[@speedforce8970]

GENG was a brand new team and they beat every good team in the world atleast once. What do you mean brand new teams don't deserve to win, EG literally changed a player mid season and won Champs. LOUD wasn't even a roster before 2022, if you mean young players, Demon1 literally won Champs as a rookie. Karon's first year and he wins an international. PRX,DRX, FNATIC, NAVI, NRG and LOUD are all dead. They didn't play worse than their potential, they fell off and new teams rose up to take their spot. Half of the good teams from last year made roster moves and now, they have disbanded. Their era is over and teams like G2, Heretics and GENG have only begun

let me save your 17 mins. luck is all they got and it didnt worked against edg Edit: dogs can bark but sadly they can't change what is true :(

[@danboibot]

It wasn’t luck but mostly play style. They played like prime fnatic where they have passive defaults for defense. But that was really bad for maps like lotus in which you need to be active on defense. Teams just abused this. This was why fnatic changed their play style at the start of 2024 so they don’t get countered and read like a book.
