The decline of viper, dynasty over, confirming Nili’s prediction...
And when Viper doesn't win Kotd3: "Ok, he is maybe not the best Arabia only player but it doesn't mean he isn't the #1 RM player."INB4 1000 pages of drama.
No matter whether or not he is a top RM player, it is clear that Viper isn't the top 1 EW player although still clearly top 5 in EW.
This is good for the game, having tournaments were Viper isn't necessarily going to dominate is more fun to watch.
I don't think it's "gimmicky". But the way to play it (especially the openings) is not figured out yet and it's a great equalizer. Liereyy and Hera practiced like madmen and it showed.As fun as this Red Bull tournament is its still a bit gimmicky.

Maybe gimmicky isn’t the right word but it’s enough of a deviation from the standard gameplay that it makes me reluctant to make any sweeping conclusions based on the results of it.I don't think it's "gimmicky".

He was dehydrated, had a headache, couldn't sleep, and he sneezed during every important micro moment
these zoomers play so fast the boomer casters miss half the action. i remember the golden swamp game where lierry accidentally deleted his range and neither nili nor t90 saw it cuz they were too slow. We need the 15 year old russian player Dark to handle the camera. Only he has the speed and knowledge.zoomer final, how tf am i supposed to relate to that
Yeah like being the best DM player was because of the defensive style lolViper has acknowledged that he's more of a defensive player and EW isn't a defensive game mode...I think it's as simple as that. He's still insanely good even in EW but just simply not the best.
With KOTD coming up, we'll see if where Viper's at.
French cast spotted it, time to switch to real casters, and you understand the language as well.these zoomers play so fast the boomer casters miss half the action. i remember the golden swamp game where lierry accidentally deleted his range and neither nili nor t90 saw it cuz they were too slow.

Agree given how good he is at DM, he should be good at EW as well...Yeah like being the best DM player was because of the defensive style lol
Viper is really far from his best, in the past even when trolling he wouldn't let mr yo to beat him -7, because of his pride, he was more competitive now he looks fine losing 4-0 to hera, even thought he said he was enjoying destroying hera badly just few months ago just because of the over hype that hera had.
For viper EW should be easy given how good is at DM, he is ready for the insta aggression more than other players, but he is playing weird, some say he is trolling, to me he isn't really trying to win, i was expecting that he would lose even to nicov, not a surprise, maybe for kotd3 he would try it or maybe not is up to him.

Uh no.
DM is a completely different game mode and it has been around for a long time with a mostly figured out meta. Also, with all due respect to DM players, but most of the top RM players don't really play DM. Hera, Lierey, Yo, none of them really excel at DM so there's no competition for Viper.
