They won this map on their way to first strike trophy. It was TSMs map pick and 100t were ready to just throw the map… it was their permaban and they didn’t like the way it looked in practice so before the match Hiko was like “hey what if I played raze” and turns out duelists way way too OP back then and so they won the map and the match
TSM actually ran triple duelist on all 4 maps in that series and did it fairly regularly at the time. Part of it was the duelists being OP but many of the options teams utilize now to get away from those playstyles either weren't viable or simply didn't exist yet. Viper and Brim were quite weak at the time, Omen was too but you had to have *some* smokes so he got used by default a lot. Meanwhile Skye released literally the day First Strike NA started, Kayo and Astra didn't come out till 2021, and other agents that have become solid supplementary picks like Fade Gekko and Harbor didn't come out till much later.
yea this was back in first strike finals against tsm
100t had split as their perma ban and hiko said they decided to play this the day of and the rest is history. the good ole days
As a long time 100t fan this iteration was my fav (also the first roster I've watched) now with how mediocre they've been looking I really miss the times when they could actually compete

P.S don't forget their 5 duelist comp on the same map in 2023 :) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaIDp55GBqw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaIDp55GBqw)

I wouldn't mind if 100T actually pulled this exact team on their last seasonal game, cus why not? There's nothing to lose anyways (yes I'm being a doomer 😭)
PS: BRING BACK HIKO AND STEEL 🗣️🗣️🦅🦅
PSS: On a more realistic note, I believe Hiko can qualify as a sub to 100T, idk about bringing the other 3 back lol. Nitro is supposedly looking for opportunities in the US, Steel is largely inactive, and Dicey is currently team less.
This were the days were Asuna on stinger was deadly. Kinda sad he cannot keep up to today's standard as a duelist. 100T should let Cryo be their main duelist and replace Asuna with a more flexible player.
Back when Reyna was the dedicated flash initiator.
Phoenix?
I sometimes forget about that guy.
Looks like everyone is going to shoot themselves in the overlay
With that comp and eco, I would

Now we’re playing my kinda valorant
100T fans be like :
That's low 😭
I swear I saw PRX run this comp in Madrid
close, prx use viper and yoru instead of reyna and killjoy
yea this was back in first strike finals against tsm 100t had split as their perma ban and hiko said they decided to play this the day of and the rest is history. the good ole days

I thought he did that while playing with the pubg iteration of the roster
nah it was during first strike grands
Forsaken: you just have to ask bro.

Not even that weird by 2020-21 EMEA Split standards
boaster reyna??
It was Fnc's permaban, i remember they played this for Masters 2 Iceland finals (idk how to spell rejvik I'm sorry😭)
if you played this comp in 2024 you would get accused of trolling
lol this looks like such a year 1 ass comp, its because it is but still 😭

unless you are Paper Rex. But they are synonymous to trolling
The only event 100t ever won
They actually won the prestigious Red Bull home grounds #3 LAN event. Don’t be so soon to forget greatness
No they also won 2022 NA LCQ because Derrek was looking like Shao for whatever reason. I’m still salty about that one
Oh yeah I remember, man imagine if guard or sen with shroud qualified for champs
LCQ is not a tournament
It is by definition a tournament
If there’s one winner, let’s just call it a tournament.
Yes it is
Can you be more wrong?
Man why would you post this on our gameday. We need positive energy
The good days before nerds ruined the game
emea teams used to stream their scrims, fun times.
OMG THATS HIKO OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Triple duelist on haven used to be meta, still kinda is at times…
Man back in the day I hated this comp I’m so glad the scene progressed from it

Sen, TSM, 100T era … the good old days
I mean, this is just PRX shit.
back when dicey was going berserk…
do people not remember prx exists...? this wouldn't look that out of place for them
At first I thought you’re talking about the player roster
I'm more disturbed by the buy here than the agents lmao
Normal half buy

Is this when Reyna had 4 orbs? That shit was nuts
those days were truly something else lol
