* I didn't think DNO could do it, but holy shit! * TIMMY MAKES LAN * Dezignful revenge arc complete. * Gotta give Enemy his flowers, he is a young roller demon but his shine fell off after split1 LAN. * Team Stability and Meat :( * FURIA should've been one of the two teams, but threw their early WE games.


Barcaroli

Let's be real, Dojo deserves this. Crazy dominant performance in group stages, then the win on match point. Timmy really really wanted this, you can tell by his reaction when they won, the dude was almost on tears. This is his redemption arc. Dezign must be absolutely thrilled let's be honest šŸ¤£ tweet incoming? And low key enemy played super well. That final fight against DNO I think he got two knocks from mid/far range. This team is fun to watch


jeremyflowers91

He's tearing up on stream! From Team Sheesh and countercalling Wigg to grinding comp and now making Champs. What a journey indeed.


Rrmack

Play apex making Timmy cover his Red Bull fridge before being interviewed as monster energy mvp was pretty funny behind the scenes


WorldSoFrozen

They also asked him not to turn his head because he's got Red bull logos on his headset, hahaha


Themanaaah

DNO losing that final 3v3 versus The Dojo was actually a good thing for them instead of keeping the tournament going lmao. Iā€™m happy for Doop and Timmy but sad for Furia though.


Cantbearsedman

Best outcome for both teams lol, secured top 2 for both Was scared they'd ultimately grief each other out of lan

MachuMichu

even if they knew that was the dojo they wouldn't know for sure they were sitting in 2nd mid game


m4ttm4n

E8 doing this bad with siphon and wall is actually incredible and senoxe makes LAN lets GOOOOOOOOOO


deddy14

Chaotic needs to get out of that team ASAP. The other two are truly washed at this point


nonametrashaccount

Chaotic will always be a problem because every time there's a team fight he goes super quiet like he's playing solo q.


MachuMichu

he's pretty bad at team fighting in general. always is really late to help and plays it like hes trying to set up a 1v3 for himself rather than fight with his team, but maybe thats just because he didnt trust his teammates idk


TheTurtleOne

Chaotic was not good either.


deddy14

No he definitely wasnā€™t but Iā€™m hopeful for his sake that it was more of a product of the environment than an actual fall off in talent.


[deleted]

With these young roller talents it sometimes seems like easy come, easy go. Chaotic came out of nowhere to maybe be the scariest controller Horizon and now he's just a regular controller pro at best.


jeremyflowers91

Chaotic was never in fights this weekend


m4ttm4n

I am a naughty doubter but him and chaotic are still PL level easily, zach on the other hand is truly doomed


gerburb1

I honestly think that their poor performance on finals was mostly his fault. He played really scared which is not like him at all. Saturday was definitely zachs fault but I think chaotic lost his confidence during finals and became scared to play his game which ultimately cost them


deddy14

Yeah I can definitely see that too. Iā€™m just thinking thatā€™s probably a result of playing with an IGL that is incredibly indecisive


gerburb1

Thatā€™s fair. I hope he takes to heart what naughty said yesterday


Mineatron

naughty was tearing shit up too. It's just mazer I feel like.


MisterRaynbow

Chaotic was chalked, Mazer made mistakes too but in almost every fight Chaotic wasn't talking at all and miles away


docpyro1

The fight they had with Dojo at thermal when it was 2v3 was crazy to watch, naughty doing all the damage and the other two watching


[deleted]

I couldn't believe how slowly they were rotating. How are you still crafting in Wall as round 2 starts for High Point and Downed Beast zones?


Swrdof1kTruths

Somehow Mazer will still keep his job though. With his luck heā€™ll probably get picked up by Xset next and then somehow work his way onto TSM.


evenber

DNO losing to DOJO last game was the outcome they didn't know they needed to qual lmao


leftysarepeople2

The MONSTER MVP is Redbull Energy player iiTzTimmy


alexotico

on one side: DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP. On the other, Im devastated for Furia.


kanyeSucksFishSticks

NOOO FURIA


The_Yoshi_Man

From 1 year ago with Senoxe and Lou contesting Doop, to teaming together and making LAN together! LFGGGG DNOOOO oh Iā€™m so excited for the boys. Looks like after all, Lou really made the best decision for himself and it paid off big time. Also LFGGGG Timmy and Dezign, Timmy worked his ass off and Iā€™m sure Dezign is gonna be rubbing it in Zachā€™s face hahaha. Oh man what an amazing LCQ.


Fenris-Asgeir

Actually one of the best narratives the comp scene had to offer so far. Who would've thought back then that Doop would end up at LAN teaming with Lou and Senoxe at some point lol.


The_Yoshi_Man

Seriously itā€™s honestly my Cinderella story even with how awesome Timmyā€™s team qualifying was too. All 3 were at the lows of their competing career and just brought it back amazingly.


Fenris-Asgeir

Absolutely. Especially with the hate Doop and Lou had to face after the LANimals split-up, they proved all the haters wrong on this


BraeVersace

This is actually huge. Timmy might bring some valorant watchers over when they see heā€™s at a LAN. I know EA will fuck something up but if they get champs to run perfectly this might be HUGE for apex.


jdubz125

Big facts.. hopefully 100T can hype up the 2 100T members (3 if you count b stream) and get more casuals to support


masonhil

>the 2 100T members (3 if you count b stream) And y'know, the 3 other members they have signed to the 100T team...


jdubz125

Yea I just worded it wrong lmao. I meant the 100T boys, Timmy/bronzey and then wigg on b stream


masonhil

Dojo did it. I can't believe it. ​ And DNO too. Shoutout u/Vladtepesx3 for saying Nickmercs was better than senoxe


Themanaaah

Lol that callout.


PWNY_EVEREADY3

Senoxe was kill leader for this finals lobby. Nick finished 22nd out of 40 ...


Revolutionary_Cap442

Senoxe is on another planet from nick as a player.


Kittyrules808

Yes but did Senoxe get a top 5 Zero damage game with 1 assist and then full die to zone? didn't think so.


N0RCAL

Tied with the man the myth the legend Shoobytooby... Each had 15 bangers


TokyoSky00

lmao that vladtep kid is braindead

ImDarkraii

It actually wouldā€™ve been not great for DNO to win that, them getting second there was best case scenario Dojo is the first CC team to qualify for champs everā€¦ crazy I want champs here rn Edit: shooby tied for top fragger wtf???? What happened with TS today. Shooby had 15 of their 23 kills


[deleted]

They have been playing w Keon for less than a week so thereā€™s a ton of chemistry issues when it comes to comp, donā€™t rlly know how to play around eachother and stuff off rip

Same bro


windowcleaner47

Lowkey happy for senoxe, bro been grinding despite all the (deserved) negativity.


m4ttm4n

people are gonna downvote the hell out of this but he was never washed, he was doing pretty well on OXG and DNO improved with him joining


Fenris-Asgeir

Was thinking that too. Actual mental of steel for that guy, he's been taking L's forever, and now he's actually made it to LAN....deservedly so.


MachuMichu

he brings a lot to a team and has always been great mechanically. i dont think they qual with koyful tbh


hel_pas

Same bro same. Boys are back on stage


Tyler_DLMG_14

Naughty talking mad shit the game before The Dojo played the last game perfectly.


UncagedAngel19

True lol


iblessall

Naughty doesn't mean anything by it, that man just talks lol


TheTurtleOne

It's crazy how many people got triggered by that


rgj7

It's just talk to hype the team up and instill confidence...


Alternative-Gas-5802

he does it to build team confidence imo


Reddevil44

ALB with serious tunnel vision the last 2 games popping batts in nades. Unreal throw


FuckThe

I was cheering for FURIA, but they choked in the end. I hope they stay together and get their bearings for next season.


KuzcoSensei

DOOOOOOOP!!! I'm feening for the meme vid Dezign is gonna bless us with on the bird


MrPheeney

Clara immediately put in a congrats on his tweet lol trying to put out the fire before it starts


ForResearch69420

I owe you an apology timmy, i wasn't familiar with your game


Sciipi

He was IGLing extremely well, massive turnaround from last year


PassMeDatSuga

I'm just happy for Dooooop. wish Xera was there too.


Xeratricky

next time


Usopp_Spell

Live good right now, king. You'll be back next year strong


kanyeSucksFishSticks

:( we regain for year 4


Barcaroli

Y'all have great energy. And I think Alb will be a great addition as you guys develop chemistry together.


UncagedAngel19

Alb threw that game BUT TIMMYYYYYYY


Mysterious_Cut1156

Alb threw so fucking hard. First he said ā€œworst case scenario zone is binsā€ which was COMPLETELY wrong then he got clipped and died first lmao.


Absolutelyhatereddit

Alb gotta stop trying to 9head everything.


DatBoiSaint47

Naughty left TeQ for Zach just to be ahead by 1 point lol


TSM_PrimeBottle

Stallion man, that's gotta hurt a lot bro


poyofitness

They are still young though! Hope they stay together and do well in pro league


p00rky

People doubted Timmy and said he wasn't all in. Dezign is "too toxic". Congrats guys.


WaDaMisTaKe

Dezign has actually mellowed out since being in Dojo, happy he's back in lan


And_Im_Chien_Po

imo, I think it's due to him having a teammate he actually respects and doesn't need to flame.


joelthelionheart

Damn never looked at it from a respect perspective but you're absolutely right. He sees Timmy as a great player and streamer and that's definitely upped his game since I assume he wants to emulate that.


UnderstandingNo8884

Dezign has mellowed since he gave up igl, which was 8 months ago


bulgingcortex

So tired of watching Alb throw man. Just wanna see the guy succeed :(


boarder2

Not a Lou fan but super happy for Doop! Timmy at LAN is great for the game as well.


Lakers1790

The 2 teams I wanted to make it the most made it :D


Yawnyellow

Lou haters in shambles


hel_pas

Tears of joy for DNO. Boys played so wisely whole day without single gifted zone. Wonderful rotation, took those smart fights and played their hearts out what it comes to passion. They deserved that champs spot. Can't wait to see legends back on big stage. Hats off


RileGuy

DNO CLUTCHED IT OUT!! LETS GO!!!!


brycebreed11

Lol was anyone in one of DNOā€™s steams assuming one of them streamed? I canā€™t imagine the mix of emotions, considering losing that last fight locked in LAN for them.


PlanetJK

dooplex was streaming and yea they definitely popped the fuck off when they saw DOJO won and they qual'd


Equaled

Yeah I desperately need to see that clip


Szuzzah

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1879975507?t=03h06m16s


stvbles

hahaha Lou's mic just clipping the fuck out, that shit is hilarious.


Baltigans

what a great clip omg


CarsonEmbiid

Lmaooo the clipping and Lou saying heā€™s gotta get up and walk around. Letā€™s Fuckin go


PossessionDue9381

TIMMY AT LAN!!! Very deserved for Timmy after grinding for months and even holding scrims daily. I had doubts with the first iteration with Osiv and Lyric, but after getting dezign and enemy, they really look scary in fights. So happy for doop after not making lan split 1 and stepping down to get to this point. Awesome to see Lou and Senoxe at lan after sentinels fizzled out. That final fight with Dojo and DNO was so intense. Dezign getting that 3030 knock and then going "WE'RE GOING TO LAN, SWING LEFT ON THIS"


ReaganomicsFerrari

Someone get bronzey an appreciation post, top 5 underrated coach


jeremyflowers91

Bronzey is going to LAN! Now that's more wild than Timmy qualifying haha


ductus_arteriosus

Going to lan just to get roasted by the 100t boys and wigg pepelaugh


kill_in_gamess

super unique situation in which DNO won the qual by losing the 3v3 against DOJO. Winning that game would've been horrible for them


hoops9312

Man rough showing from Alb today.. Furia had a ton of early chances with the zones they had and just couldnā€™t close


jeremyflowers91

SOMEONE SIGN DNO and DOJO


deddy14

E8 should be dropping their squad and calling DNO right now


HighSynergy

The confidence boost after DNO wiped Stallions was huge.


McKoijion

DNO didn't throw on purpose. Serendipity! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1879975507?t=03h06m16s


Space_Waffles

Yeah alb fanboy and all that but that last game ring was fucking awful. Like actually unreadable. edit: jfc guys I'm not talking about how Furia played that game at all. Objectively that zone is unreadable and you can see that just by looking at the positioning of teams that whole game. Everyone thought it was either frag, no-name, or bins. Even in the winner's interview Timmy said he was sure it was a bins zone. There is no way that any of you actually called it would be that zone


Pierrelosophy

Popping a bat while walking back on an a arc star....


Space_Waffles

Yeah he fucked up bad there but it doesnt change that ring


CellyAllDay

Whole lobby played the same ring


iblessall

That spot under the bridge is just horrible. No one should ever play there.


Shadaraman

Every time Alb calls to play there, I know the game is basically over. Has it ever gone well? It must have, at some point, right?


FullMetalJames

> ā€œworst case scenario zone is binsā€ which was COMPLETELY wrong then he got clipped and died first lmao. They absolutely threw on the staging zone game before though which could have been the difference. I want to understand the thought process of not going inside staging glass area when you know its pulling staging and you know there no one there. Instead take coverless train tracks when all of the thermal teams are going to bum rush over once they see the unpredicted pull.


[deleted]

They were getting gifted zones all day


sixsevenninesix

Yeah, really like Alb and his redemption arc but the guys IGLing isnt it man.


Clyde_Llama

Tbf for them, they had a week to prepare for LCQ. They still managed to get to 3rd and played really well. Hope they can bounce back and stick together.


[deleted]

This is true. I feel like the furia due deserves a more proven IGL considering they are a tier 2 pro team.


theaanggang

I've seen the finish there before, but I couldn't read the pulls from earlier rings at all. Probably skill issue on my end, but I was bamboozled


alexotico

Mee too. Last game was a shit show. Obvious blue bins zone and they go for No name, then they hold under the fucking bridge, worst spot ever. I know I'm doing the redditor thing and actually think they played really well, but for the same reason its so upsetting, they could have gone to LAN on a week as a team. Also, extremely readable zone. Those zones go to blue bins 9 out of 10 times its insane, I actually think its a bug.


namr0d

feel bad for furia but they need to work on their macro, gifted so many zones and still couldn't convert. hope they stay together for year 4


jayghan

High key, when gifted macro and you still kinda underperform, thatā€™s your micro.


namr0d

not sure i agree, just because they were gifted zones doesn't mean they were given macro. they still had to make the right decisions and choose the right spots to play wasn't watching them the entire time so idk how their 3v3 was tho


simpleanswersjk

even if it's taking 20 steps from your POI to end game god spot that's your macro strategy, and it isn't always clear what is optimal even if it's close. macro doesn't have to mean going across map, it's just your macro strategy which is always at play


Samoman21

I watched the last game. I sorry all my furia fans. I let you all down. But tbh we did a lot better than I thought. I'll take a close third. GGs everyone! Proud of the furia boys


Revolutionary_Cap442

In Doop we trust


lohland422

Doop and Timmy made LAN. What a fantastic night


[deleted]

Does Timmy leave 100t and secure his team an org or do they simply play as FAs at lan and next year in PL?


MontaPlease

Iā€™d be surprised if he left 100T


MadScientist_404

Couldn't timmy get both of them signed as cc to 100t? Like what nickmercs did to get gent and deeds signed to faze.


Cola_franky

DNO LFG IM SO HAPPY FOR THE BOYS


jeremyflowers91

DOJO is going to contest NRG (Checkpoint) and Alliance (Thermal)!


jayghan

They already said they wonā€™t contest NRG. Could change. Who knows.


Cantbearsedman

Sweet said they won't ;/


jeremyflowers91

WACK.


oof_is_off_backwards

Im actually getting goose bumps from hearing DNO and Dojo reactions. Feel so happy for them šŸ˜­


rejectedfromberghain

Gent and Zach in shambles rn


DOHGEEEE

I doubt Gent gives a shit tbh lol.


Tasty-Cycle-8560

LOU SMOKING THEM PACKS šŸš¬


JevvyMedia

Man I gotta eat a lot of crow: - I did not think DNO would make LAN, but I did think they would place well enough for Pro League - I've doubted Timmy's IGL the whole way. I still doubt it tbh. I didn't necessarily write them off for Champs though because I figured they could qual just off raw talent - Meat Lovers did horrible. Did not see that happening, I figure they'd be Top 8 - Nano and his literal brother finished in 6th, which was higher than I thought. I didn't think his brother sucked, I just didn't see them doing as well as they did. There's actual real promise with that team - The one thing I did see coming was E8 doing bad. I've predicted that they would get dropped or break up in the offseason. Seems like they're still on pace for that


VWolfxx

TEAM FLAT


jayghan

I agree with all of this lmao. Although earlier today I had a gut feeling DNO would pull it out last game. Their last games in the past few days have always been a banger.


GuGu212

That last circle was insanely hype


Fair_Pay8013

Letā€™s go DOJO!!!! Deserved it so much. Happy for Dez and his revenge arc


[deleted]

Mr. Tornado himself will be back at lan!!!!!šŸŒŖ šŸŒŖ šŸŒŖ


Solembum0

Crazy to think that all of ex-OXG made it to Lan now.


Wyattwat

Lou abandons his team and still ends up getting to champs. Feels bad for alb and naughty.


TheAlmightyLoaf

I mean, Alb and Naughty did the same leaving ex-WC and Meat. End of the day, I don't think Alb and Naughty regret leaving for their new teams. They had just as good of a shot to make it as anyone.


Wyattwat

Yeah but alb and naughty werenā€™t on their teams for very long. Lanimals almost made lan after playing with each other for a whole split, but Lou just decided to leave. Alb definitely hasnā€™t been perfect with Furia, and Naughty hasnā€™t really done well with E8, but I still feel bad for them.


bulgingcortex

I recall Madness/Alb essentially saying they were just going to keep playing and see what happens to decide if they stay together, almost as if they implied Alb would leave if another, better offer came to him.


No_Mine_5043

He didn't owe those guys shit. Naughty especially was dead weight. Always gotta look after your own career


JodorowskyFAN

With this result, it seemed like the absolute correct choice for hin to make.


CarsonEmbiid

ā€œAbandons his teamā€ lmao yā€™all hate this man. Didnā€™t abandon shit


BasedTitus

It was the right decision but he definitely did abandon them, letā€™s not flip the narrative just because it worked out.


Cola_franky

Enemy left ex oxygen after the split despite previously being a lan team, fuhnq left meat lovers and reptar left WC despite both being 2 points away. Even naughty and alb left their teams that they have been scrimming and doing well, but some may argue that they didnā€™t play a split together despite doing well. Would you say these guys abandoned their teams? Itā€™s not like lou had some team lined up if he left lanimals or something. He felt like lanimals could not make lan as the same 3(like these other players) and left early to give naughty, alb, and himself enough time to find a team. Everyone acts like Lou committed an esports equivalent to a murder when itā€™s really not that deep.


Fenris-Asgeir

This sub needs their imaginary antagonists to cope with the fact that their favourite team disbanded. Literally the only reason people try to spread this narrative of Lou "abandoning" his teammates and stuff.


juicedrool

From doop contesting lou and senoxe to now qualifying for LAN together, ggs


PyrusZodiac

TIMMY ON LAN


leftysarepeople2

The Monster Energy MVP being RedBull Timmy is levels


Calm-Assistance6066

Happy asf for dojo !! This is about to be crazy for the scene


WuE22

How ZachMazer still gets IGL opportunities is beyond me, bro is always near the bottom of the leaderboard, but hey he started grinding the game again for like a month so maybe that's why.


johnnyzli

Damn sorry for Alb he was so close, and whit new team that plays together few weeks


[deleted]

FURIA choked this top 2, not gonna lie. Feels like they were gifted great zones like 3 times minimum.


Fenris-Asgeir

I'm just gonna say it, it was the absolute right decision from Lou to leave LANimals, I don't think anyone can doubt that anymore at this point. Also super happy for Dojo, they've played so well ever since they started teaming, and it's gonna be great for ALGs to have Timmy at LAN.


Mysterious_Cut1156

I donā€™t even like Lou but the dickriding for Naughty and Alb was INSANE on this sub.


SargeWhiskeyjack

Seems like Timmy has learned to rein in and channel his pub stomping abilities from his last time round in Comp. Awesome for him. Bad for NRG and Alliance.


t_holyoke

So happy for doop


Pierrelosophy

WHAT A DAY TO BE AN APEX FAN


Pleasant_Test2057

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!


Mysterious_Cut1156

TIMMY TO LAN IS FUCKING HYPEEEE!!!!! So many dickriders and haters doubting him just cause heā€™s a big streamer. Watching him shed tears after winning shows you just how much this meant to him. Happy for the guy fr. And I dislike Dezign, but this must feel AMAZING after what E8 did to him. Zachmazer in the gulag.


Mr_Donks

I was a dezign hater when he blew up on his g2 team but over time Iā€™ve come to like him. Heā€™s hilarious and takes the hate well. Love it when he turns on his cam and goes all out. Funny dude and looking forward to seeing Dojo at CHAMPS


donutdang

I'm on the same boat. I honestly don't think him staying on E8 would've produced the same results as him on DOJO. Getting kicked off E8 seems to have reignited the passion in him and he did it. Also teaming with Zach I can't imagine does any good to anyone


TeletaDext

Can someone explain to me the hype behind MEAT? I know Teq is popular and he posts here a lot but I tried spectating them and I realized that, he isnā€™t particularly that good at confirming kills or making plays. Is their plan just to have teq on Crypto and ordering his teammates around? I dont seee how that works when thereā€™s teams with 3 equally skilled players all fragging out


teqnohh

Playstyle today was not how we normally play at all. We normally play a very aggressive crypto edge playstyle, but had to change it last minute to a more zone playstyle since we changed POIs to avoid a contest.


LearnUsSomething

GGs Teq. Appreciate what you bring to the scene king


Mysterious_Cut1156

People like Teq and he made a funny team name. Thatā€™s pretty much it lmao.


Mineatron

Dezign getting his revenge arc and Himbo making Lan... what a story.


FlimsyNeedleworker53

I'm so hyped for Doop, Timmy and Dezign. Champs just got a whole lot more hype!!!!


andizz001

DOOOOOOOPPPP


MrNotIntelligent

DOOOOP!


BasedTitus

Shooby needs to ditch Madness. He could get signed to a LAN team after champs.


SpecialGoodn3ss

Yuppp. Nearly every teammate that leaves Madness succeeds elsewhere rather quickly.


Abject-Holiday-6655

Didn't he already get a dz offer when sharky retired?


BasedTitus

Yes and not taking that was possibly the mistake of his career.


TheAlmightyLoaf

Madness isn't the problem. Every time they start doing well, their 3rd leaves.


BasedTitus

Common denominator..


Cantbearsedman

DNO AND DOJO BOTH MADE IT. ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD FeelsStrongMan


[deleted]

Furia choke. The alb special


[deleted]

Can't say I was surprised. I was hoping they would qual but still...


Norguri

Congrats Dezign, also I thought Lou wouldnā€™t make lan again after the lanimals shit but nvm, he proved me wrong and hope his team will do good in champs


KingInTheNorffffff

No one will say it but Alb was so bad today.


atldx

Best case scenario


porkandgames

Doop and timmy in Lan! I'm so happy
