[@Levy9_AriharaNanami]

I think that because horizon had been meta for like over a year so now Hal just over one-trick on horizon (Horizon had been meta since that furia got 2nd place in 2022 champs until season 20) After meta changing, he need some times to find out what legend in meta that fits his playing style Still, TSM can finished in top place sometimes just because their macro are way better than most of the other teams, but their team fighting are not as strong as before

@@dariyenjones8909 u can watch through algs 2023, the time that TSM doing well is always when hal was on horizon, and the time TSM doing bad (2023 split2 week 1 they got #18 I remembered) is when hal not on horizon I've to say, Hal's horizon is way more better than other horizon pro players. In the other hand, his play on other legends now are not as strong as his horizon and way more worse to be honest If u watch the team fight of TSM between the time when he is on horizon and when he is not u'll find out what I'm talking about Now TSM still can finish in top sometimes is because TSM's macro are still way better than most of other pro teams but the teamfighting of them now are weaker than before However, if hal can find out another meta character suits to him or horizon come back to meta TSM can definitely back to the dominant place I think

[@sonnybertrand790]

Im not hating on hal and the boys, but everytime someone argues against Raven he exposes them and then they sit there quiet not saying or owning up to mistakes. For example the last game where playing ceto early was clearly the correct play instead of waiting near or in the tunnel.

[@BigSuzpekt]

It's a tough call though. There were 11 teams left, so realistically all good spots are taken. For the record i agree with you, they should've expected a team to be in tunnel already, so the only option was risking and landing ceto early like Raven said. It was safer to valk ult early when the teams aren't congested into a smaller ring than valk ult late (like they did) with no where to land because it's more congested. The decision itself wasn't a bad call, but they really should've known there would be a team in tunnel based on how many teams were alive.

[@sonnybertrand790]

@@BigSuzpekt yeh thats what i think too. I didnt watch the actual game so I don't know how much time had been before they realised there was a team in the tunnel and when the next ring was able to be seen. Because there were only 10 teams left I think they could've still found a good spot even if they were slightly late.

Hal needs to play Bang and control the smokes and take advantage of double time. Make reps play caustic and let verhulst go back to showing off how to play valk.

[@neonstrawberry8826]

Valk Ult creates too much uncertainty rotating into zone. It needs to be used earlier to establish in zone positioning before other teams if they are going to use it, thats the advantage that the ult is supposed to provide. Using it to late rotate just results in them getting shot while flying in and then landing on a team with a health disadvantage from flying, it doesnt work. There was also a lot of individual fights and not enough trades occurring in their games from these clips, that needs be improved. Perfect example is that fight where hal pushes the duo end game individually, or evan getting killed off spawn by the car team, its a waste. The most important aspect about BR is staying alive and they are not playing to preserve their lives in game. Theres too many instances atm where they are dying out in the open without cover instead of establishing position, hiding and surviving.
