I think they should keep storm point the same and worlds edge you put reps on caustic, hal on bang, and evan on blood. Hal on bang still allows him to control the pace and puts evan as the entry fragger; reps can play anker. Also they could push and hold most positions.

[@ahhhabee]

hal is just not ideal on blood or valk, and of those two, valk is definitely the least necessary. im curious to see how they fill out the team. if i had to guess, conduit, bang, and maybe like maggie would be my guesses

[@eyelesscrow69]

he's done good on blood but valk just isn't necessary on worlds edge

[@scottmatthews6889]

They are trying to be a zone team, but they take so long, grabbing evos that they don't get good zone positions. So they consistently get caught in this awkward position where they are in-between edge teams and zone teams.. They either need to huht teams on the edge or be quicker on zone rotates.

[@hhhgh5641]

they should have realised by now that bang is more important than valk. Its very clear. The two teams that are decimating the na lobbies are tbe ones using blood bang and caustic. DZ didn't even bother tyring out valk cause they just know shes not the play

[@gpauldejesus]

do not understand them going back to valkyrie at all, these reactionary comps every time the meta changes rarely ever work for them and i really hope they’re not relying on these late comebacks or final game clutches to qualify bc thats not sustainable even for a team as good as theirs

[@bleach7958]

@@ricardo.b8280the thing I’m confused about is that their main problem wasn’t really getting the valk ult off. It’s the landings after.

Of course there’s exception but this seems to be what happens most of the time

[@caivibe2575]

If they had more time Hal back on MnK for AR and current legend meta would be ideal. Reps on caustic, Hal on MnK bang and verhulst on blood. I personally think today Hal put too much pressure on himself to play perfectly. TSm’s best match was them getting uncomfortable in game 5 and reacting to what was in front of them which I feel like they have been avoiding playing like that.

Hal needs to play so much more patiently and slower cuz of meta changes. He needs to control the situation by having scans with bloodhound, not push.

Hal should play wraith, it fits his playstyle more being the one to find space and rotate and he gets a get out of jail free card with wraith q like horizon. Putting Hal on blood is bad since he should not be the one starting fights but looking for potential thirds and safe spots.

wtf is Hal doing, bros too overzealous when he’s swinging, Reps and Evan are playing perfectly.

[@Spectrasweapon1]

I mean, meta is good but its not suited for TSM. Valk should have not been a thing already two-three scrim blocks ago. Right when they put Hal on Valk, they should had considered swapping Valk out entirely and just play Bang. Also why this Meta is bad for TSM isnt only whats good when it comes to legend picks. It has also to do how they want to play their game. TSM has always been the best when it comes to their "Zone" play and since they swapped to playing Edge on SP, I feel it kinda has interrupted their mindset of playstyle on WE aswell. Playing edge on SP comes with being a very aggressive team, SPECIALLY in this new meta. TSM arent there yet. This is why the meta is really good for DZ due to how they play their game (aggro).
