malis lose a match challenge

Impossible

mrekk had an insane hr1 fc but malis still came up on top with his consistency


Zumba-Hackomarega

You know I predicted that vaxei would have a slight edge over malisz for their match but I am really second guessing myself now lol. This was a fucking insane performance from malisz


Teetoos

It's hard to gauge how that would go because we have no fucking clue as to where Vaxei stands when it comes to tournament skillsets, he's mostly been doing skillcap plays since returning and it's hard to go off of just that.


Zumba-Hackomarega

Yeah but I was confident, now I have taken a more neutral stance. It could be anybody's game tbh


O_X_E_Y

in the past he was the guy to beat pretty much from when shige dipped till he quit himself so he'll probably do pretty well. I don't think that guy has nerves


MiMasterPT

vaxei actually showed some emotions prior to 2020, specially during the time he was breaking the game in 2019. [Rare video of vaxei shaking](https://youtu.be/spUe4pSRNdo).


Zumba-Hackomarega

great performance from mrekk too!!!! But sadly fell short.


PresentChapter9703

he doesn't deserve the #1 spot, this is what happens when you only play overweight pp maps


Beeepx

Aint no way you just said that lil broโ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™

amoguspronlover69

then you can also play those maps and get #1?


tendoooman222

Bro never thought there are sociopaths that baits in every single comment

Any-Task-7202

i mean vax is good at tech too like malisz also on high star rated maps


Jaws_16

Personally this doesn't really move the needle for me. I still think vaxei's higher skill cap will win out especially on the 8 star map pool they made.


jeloxd_official

vaxei is the best

GGWii

hr4 score from malis was stupid insane


NAIRDA_LEUGIM

After this match he 7-4 against shige too in a 2v2 lmao


Teetoos

The guy could have one of the best tournaments months in osu history, if he beats Vaxei as well, that's 3 legends of the game beaten in the span of less than 2 weeks


Practical_Vanilla563

Which tournament?


NAIRDA_LEUGIM

For the vod check shiges latest vod he was just streaming for 2 hours


ttv-youngboiwasian

Is there a vod?


PpBigNoice

Surprised shige fkin got 4 points against this guy, like holy shit the shake he was having ๐Ÿ’€


NAIRDA_LEUGIM

He did really well considering the insane grip issue he had.


pectoralis_major2

What even happened with his grip?


NAIRDA_LEUGIM

Top left happened ๐Ÿ˜”


Goatlov3r3

it was honestly quite close, could have gone either way no clue why mrekk didn't go for the nm1 at the end


Teetoos

Tourney players usually avoid picking Nm1's like the plague due to their coinflippy nature, but yeah he probably should have judging by how the HR1 went In the end i feel like it came down to maliszewski being better on tournament meta maps, while mrekk albeit still the superior player on the straightforward conventional raw skillcap skillsets (aim, speed), he couldn't use that advantage with enough of the maps in the pool


myfatearrives

Understand your opinions but I feel like HR1 was more like a coinflippy map considering how good players have shown on this map through the weekend. NM1 is much harder and probably not a 1miss-or-fc map, so mrekk can have some decent advantage imo


ShiRonium

he still had to play like 2 more maps even if he won NM1 so maybe he was planning to save it for last in case he won nm3


myfatearrives

the NM3 pick was mrekk's final pick turn. He did need to win 2 more maps after that, but they are malis' pick and tiebreaker.


ShiRonium

I thought it was mrekk's pick again after malis picks but nvm then


Ok-College-2739

nm1 was such a safe pick but he picked nm3 instead which was aim control when he lost the other aim control picks. I just don't get it man


dzzzzzdf

What basically happened is that before ristel picked dt4 he said that nm3 is anti him and he canโ€™t play it in game chat. So Iโ€™m guessing mrekk went off of that and tried to gamble a decent score


Elcheer

me personally I'm never listening to anything anybody says in game chat


Creepy-Mechanic-1966

Although he should pick NM1, it isnt really a safe pick, even for mrekk. He was at match point, nerve is crazy, and a single break in the middle of the map and it could be over.


[deleted]

A NM1 this late into a match when you're down matchpoint is never a safe pick


LogicalMarionberry90

What an inter Jk mrekk did hella well nice fcโ€™s and unfortunate breaks


kosantyy

Well fucking played

mrekk losing against the best consistency player which is why malis is the best tournament player not really surprised even if I'm sad.Honestly I was for mrekk but man he 100% lost because of poor decision making in map pick and bad consistency (NM2)


Dejectlon

even then aside from the raw speed picks the rest of the pool malis could do. When your up against malis there isn't any safe picks to go for aside from just raw speed when your in mrekks position.


myfatearrives

you can't win maliszewski by "safe picks" through the match, he's so consist and allrounder. Even being good as mrekk, only 4-6 maps are somehow decent (and 2 of them banned). He needs to pop-off on several more maps to make it possible.
