I can't believe no one is talking about that SDI. Armada could have teched upthrow rest, probably tried and missed.

Yeah that was fucking insane.

Well, the commentators suck as usual. Imagine if they actually used good ones, would probably draw in more viewers as well.

I know, they suck so much they keep getting paid to come back.

 

[Quenk]

Jesus that phantom

 

[FriskyrumX]

Bruh that Phantom. Lets go Leffen, get him.

I really want Leffen vs Plup.

 

[emb]

Awful up smashes. Armada looks like he's totally abandoned his gameplan.

Yeah. Those 3 upsmashes in a row at the end of that one game? Looking real off.

 

[chaosblade]

This is such a great tournament.

 

[Lucumo]

I know, they suck so much they keep getting paid to come back.

Influence is all that matters, unfortunately.

 

[FriskyrumX]

Damn rip Leffen.

 

[chaosblade]

Sweden choking tonight.

Not sure how confident I am in Plup over Hbox.

 

[Neol]

Rip leffen. Big improvement though.

I needddddddd this plup win

 

[Bakkus]

Great tournament ruined by Hungrybox. Like usual.

 

[FriskyrumX]

Sweden choking tonight.

Well to be fair this tourny has been crazy as all hell for upsets so at this point I'm not surprised.

 

[Codeblue]

I don't feel like Scar or Waffles are bad commentators, but they're not a great combination.

Also, I feel like HBox is going to kill the dream.

Huge improvement by Leffen though. He looked way more confident and he played way cleaner than he had been in recent months.

 

[Pappasman]

Hbox is the actual best player rn.

I've been thinking of making a commentator duo tier list recently. Maybe I should...

 

[A Pretty Panda]

No you're right Scar is bad

 

[FireBeaver]

Plup please 3-0 Hbox like Dreamhack Atlanta.....

 

[chaosblade]

Hbox is the actual best player rn.

Duos is too hard. Top of the list would be filled with Vish + anyone.


Plup has definitely cooled off.

 

[Bakkus]

On top of the cherry Hbox is now gonna ruin Plup's moment. *pukes*

 

[Neol]

Plup looking so sloppy >_<

 

[Pappasman]

Duos is too hard. Top of the list would be filled with Vish + anyone.


Plup has definitely cooled off.

Yeah my A tier would probably be all the different Vish and Webs combos, D1, Prog, and DJ.

 

[chaosblade]

If he doesn't take a game during set one it's probably going to be ugly. If he can take a game maybe he can get warmed up for set 2.


There's a game!

 

[FriskyrumX]

Holy shit plup. Come on bring it back.

 

[Codeblue]

3rd through 5th place at this tournament got eliminated by HBox and Plup. Big cash difference for the same result. Really highlights why people get heated about seeding.

 

[Lucumo]

Yeah my A tier would probably be all the different Vish and Webs combos, D1, Prog, and DJ.

Yep, pretty much this.

 

[Neol]

FUCKING OBLITERATED

 

[Anth0ny]

the dream is dead

 

[chaosblade]

Ick. Now for the moment of truth.

 

[dreamlongdead]

I got up for a minute, and I come back to see Plup get 4 stocked.

 

[Pappasman]

Hbox is so goddamn good.

And yeah, picking a secondary fox when Hbox just ran through M2K, Armada, and Leffen probably isn't the best choice.

Plup has never beaten Hbox with a different character has he?

Edit: Actually he might have with Sheik at locals but not recently.

 

[Codeblue]

Feels like HBox has forced every top player to have a pocket Fox. Dude is absolutely incredible.

 

[Codeblue]

Plup has never beaten Hbox with a different character has he?

Edit: Actually he might have with Sheik at locals but not recently.

Didn't he beat him at Evo 2016 with Sheik?

 

[Pappasman]

Didn't he beat him at Evo 2016 with Sheik?

yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN_oZs0VMQs

 

[NormalFish]

Plup looks like he kinda mentally reset, which is something I'm not even sure i've seen him do in a match with crazy high stakes like this.
**
As he gets rested ffs

or for fucks sake

 

[Codeblue]

Gods for a reason.

 

[chaosblade]

Figures. At least Plup pulled it off against Armada. Hbox is ridiculously good, but Plup was pretty sloppy for a good chunk of that grand finals.

 

[Pappasman]

I wish we had a truly high level Marth player to challenge Hbox. But M2K refuses to learn pivots...

 

[FriskyrumX]

Good shit hbox, crazy run by plup though.

This tournament was really crazy with all the upsets and a lot of people not expected to get knocked out getting knocked out early on.

 

[NormalFish]

Guess the pressure got to him after all. The moment Plup starts laughing or shaking his head he's done, unfortunately.

 

[Neol]

Rip plup ;-;

Can't say he deserved it though.

Props to Hbox and his onslaught of foxes. Really wish people explored other matchups with puff. Really feel like Marth is a good contender if m2k stuck with it.

 

[dreamlongdead]

Really bad first set by Plup. I stopped rooting for him after that reset.

M2K once went Marth and Sheik vs HBox then said in the interview that he did it to show that it couldn't be done so people would stop suggesting it.

His Marth goes toe to toe with Armada after he actually put work into it, and Marth wins that match up on paper. He just has a mental block.

Yup that's m2k :/

Makes me sad how he views things so hard on character MU's instead of adjusting play style. Kinda makes me sad he's the only viable Marth to win these days with PPMD MIA ;-;

 

[chaosblade]

Do terrible at one tournament then bounce back and beat expectations - that's the Leffen?

 

[emb]

Hbox went on such a crazy run. M2K, Armada, Leffen, Plup all in a row.

Wish we could have gotten Plup/Leff finals, but still quite a display.

 

[chaosblade]

Take away the Gamecube while you're warming up. That's the Plup.

 

[FriskyrumX]

Nah The Leffen is to unleash the johns on twitter and up his twitter game.

 

[chaosblade]

Sounds like Hbox might be getting burnt out.


Feel bad for him.

 

[Codeblue]

HBox having a mid life crisis on stream.

 

[peter0611]

"This guy I play all the time." ROFL

 

[chaosblade]

That would be sick to have the tournament at Michigan Stadium, but I don't know that it would actually work out as well in real life as it sounds in theory.
