Super Sunday proved too expensive for Tukuil and Flickest, who lost three games. Hans Sama and Team Liquid secured major issues with two wins, but a loss to the Golden Guardians saw Cloud 9 return to the rankings. A glimpse into the individual performances of Uncle Sam in exile.

Tukui did it all

The match with the evil genies is unforgettable. Flyquests simply didn’t exist and it would be unfair to blame Tukui Cork. It turns out that he was not the direct cause of the sinking and did everything to prevent it from happening. It will be easy to believe the impressive stats with 40% team damage, but the net damage cost is still lower than the performance of either EG. Despite Cinderella, Aphrodite, and Josedeodo’s swift action against immortality, the poet didn’t gain much advantage over Oriana. The French could not prevent their opponents from making the difference to Botlan, and his influence in the game could have been greater if he could not be blamed for the error. The match against Cloud 9 did not benefit him, his Zilean was powerless against Fudge Cork. Tukui once again did his best, but this week he and the whole team just didn’t want him to be at the same level. With the games we’ll be playing against TSM and Dignitas next week, the team should take advantage of those games against other teams that aren’t doing their best to reinvigorate themselves or else they’ll fall in the standings and see the playoffs. They will go dangerously far.

Hans Sama is stronger near death

The match against the Golden Guardians was difficult. For the first few minutes, Hans Caitlin’s pickaxe seemed to work, but the opponents very quickly showed that they were ready to defend themselves. Pridestalker played well around the butler, and TL’s expected dominance on the pitch was a bit wide 15 minutes before the break. Unable to dominate their own lane, then overtaken by their rival Jinks, the French had almost no influence on the match. The dignitaries were inspired by this strategy by compiling Ezrel Botlan to avoid 3D catastrophe. Team Liquid responded this time and handed over the keys to the game to Camille from Bvippo, this tactic worked. Hans did a good job but couldn’t fully express himself as he was a low target.

Against TSM, Hans found himself at the center of the TL battle plan with jeans surrounded by ambition and enthusiasm. He did not disappoint his teammates and did 39% damage to the team for not dying once. Giving him match keys is still a viable strategy, and Team Liquid, who can play alongside more team-oriented champions in Biergsen’s midfield, have emerged as very serious contenders for the title. The match against 100T will be crucial in cementing their dominance and allowing C9 to take the championship lead.
