SPOILER of the PRX vs NRG game.
Kind of a bait title, I’m sorry for that. Sometimes pros do play time after planting a bomb, but not as frequently as they could, and it sometimes leads to the most mind-blowing throws I’ve seen.
Take PRX vs NRG that just finished a few minutes ago. Davai vs Mada in a 1v1, everything on the line for PRX. The bomb doesn’t have a lot of time left. Mada is playing Yoru so no smokes. Why on earth is Davai dry-peaking from B Hall and not trying to play his life, extend the time, and win with the spike. Roughly 30 seconds had already ticked on bomb. He only had 15 left to win the round.
I understand that bomb wasn’t planted for him in that position, but I don’t believe that a dry-peak when Mada already saw you is a better decision than playing time against NRG’s best mechanical player. Maybe someone can explain why this decision was made, and in general why pros tend to take fights instead of playing time so frequently, even when the bomb is about to go off. It happens so much and I always question why pros can’t have just a bit more patience. Pros are so incredible at everything in the game, but time management is frequently a weakness I see from pro teams, in my opinion.
I understand things aren’t always black and white, pressure is huge in matches, especially ones like the example I gave, and players don’t always have this in their minds. But they have 4 other teammates who should be considering these things and advising their decision making, especially in such important moments.
I’m only an Ascendant player so I don’t pretend to know everything. But in that scenario I’m playing time instead of taking a 50/50 virtually every single time, and I’ll win (in my rank) with that decision way more than 50% of the time. I guess this is more so a rant on the concept of playing time in 1v1’s at the pro level being so rare. And when pros do play time, whoever is playing time tends to win at a super high rate vs not playing time in 1v1 post plants.
EDIT: I just want to add that a lot of people are saying he was trying to catch a timing, and yes I agree and understand that decision if bomb was just planted. Even with Mada knowing the strat, that doesn’t make it easy for him to bait Davai so quickly. But at the same time, to everyone’s point, at such a high level you have to try to outplay at the micro level, and it doesn’t always work out. I can’t stress enough how little time was left. Even getting Mada off bomb once will likely win you the round. Better to wait for the drop. Let Mada sit in window and burn even more time imo.
Lar0k vs BABYBAY in a 1v1, everything on the line for BBL.
Pros Never Play Time
SPOILER of the G2 vs BBL game.
Kind of a bait title, I’m sorry for that. Sometimes pros do play time after planting a bomb, but not as frequently as they could, and it sometimes leads to the most mind-blowing throws I’ve seen.
Take G2 vs BBL that just finished a few minutes ago. Lar0k vs BABYBAY in a 1v1, everything on the line for BBL. The bomb doesn’t have a lot of time left. BABYBAY is playing Yoru so no smokes. Why on earth is Lar0k holding from B Hall and not trying to play his life, extend the time, and win with the spike. Roughly 30 seconds had already ticked on bomb. He only had 15 left to win the round.
I understand that bomb wasn’t planted for him in that position, but I don’t believe that a hold when BABYBAY already saw you is a better decision than playing time against G2'S best mechanical player. Maybe someone can explain why this decision was made, and in general why pros tend to take fights instead of playing time so frequently, even when the bomb is about to go off.

It was originally for AZER (an OSU player) back in 2017 which then got adopted for Alex19 in CSGO and so on. Nowadays its often used for whichever player people are cheering on.
AZER (osu!)
AZER isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a player with such aim ability and movement with a tablet? Alex puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a player with his skill and passion for the game again. Cookiezi breaks records. Rafis breaks records. Azer breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.
Are Commercial Azerbaijan? You have fun? At the end of the minute you can see a player? Alex will sell a game anywhere, and if you want to see talents and fans, they are divided into teams.

TenZ (Valorant)
TenZ isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a player with such an aim and movement? Tyson puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a player with his skill and passion for the game again. aspas breaks records. zekken breaks records. TenZ breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.
Alex19 (CSGO)
Alex19 isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a player with such an ability and movement with fox? Alex puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a player with his skill and passion for the game again. mang0 breaks records. Armada breaks records. Alex19 breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.
Alright team, just a heads-up me and my teammate are professional trolls. We're not here to win; we're here to vibe and make sure this game is unforgettable-mostly for the wrong reasons. We're aiming for a perfect 0-13 because, honestly, Iron is where the real fun begins. Who needs Radiant when you can be the king of Iron, right Don't expect any help or strats, we're here to ruin the game, not play it properly. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the disaster-we're taking you all down with us
every furia game is like watching my old blind dog being put down via lethal injection. every play by furia's players are like my ancient dog hobbling around the house lost because his eyesight has long left him. each lost round is another flight of stairs that has defeated my old companion. i go to the vet, knowing it is long past the dog's time. at the vet, i suddenly hear a bark! a round won by furia against their best efforts! surely, the old dog shows signs of life yet! "no", says g2 valyn, "it's time to let him go" as he puts down furia like my decrepit dog. unfortunately, i should have chosen another vet, as he continues to desecrate and disrespect the departed by relentlessly beating its corpse long after it has perished.
Forget your little "team play" arguments. Forget the "inconsistent" takes. When TenZ is on, no one breathes on his level. His aim? Robotic. His movement? Sculpted by the FPS gods
If I see one more mid season roster change, especially from fucking Vitality, I am going to crash out. Bro esports teams used to fucking DESPISE eachother. They would fuck eachother’s fangirls and shit. And then they would show up to lan, get the CLASSIC dead team buff (which seems to be forgotten in Val. Think of how many teams actually fucking hated eachother but won anyway in sports and esports history) and win.
And now “oh well, we just have a different view on the game you see. so we must part ways…” Bro. You think nobody and kangkang sit down and are like “so here is MY vision. Let us align our visions perfectly!” What the fuck are we talking about. Buzz going up to Meteor like “erm hey… our v-visions slightly differ…” JUST PLAY THE GAME YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!
Fuck this dude. Imagine being a casual fan trying to create narratives in your head for this bullshit. There is no stability and teams go 2 months without playing. STOOOOOP
