cajunb: "[We're] top three at least"

4-5-2015 02:51

Here's the winning interview with René "cajunb" Borg, where he talked about the grand final's maps and where TSM stand in the ranking after two consecutive titles.

TSM got off to a disastrous start in the grand final, losing the initial map de_inferno 1-16, but they evened the series after an overtime battle on de_dust2 before closing out the series on de_cache.

We got to talk to René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg after the final to find out what went wrong on the initial map, as well as both following ones, and asked him for an opinion on the team's standing in the ranking at the moment.

Could someone explain to me why Striker are using [these] in the majority of his articles? I mean, they're clearly not needed, are they?

[idk] maybe he's a little bit hipster

2015-05-04 02:53

It's usually used when someone doesn't say those words, but the quote wouldn't make sense out of context. I don't know though because YT is being a dick on my phone

2015-05-04 02:55

Didn't watch the interview but might be paraphrased or something

2015-05-04 03:07

Because he didn't say "We're top three at least" but "Not top two at least, I think we'd have to win a major to be that. Yeah, top three at least". That'd make quite a long headline though, so he makes the quote a bit more fitting for a headline and then uses the brackets to show where he changed the quote.

Even though tsm won the tournament I still believe VP is better than TSM in a matchup, TSM is better overall though and that is why they won and vp didn't.

Rightio then mate, TSM threw that match. They wanted the lower bracket

The match decided if they were first of their group or if they had to play in the decider match of the group to have a chance at the second place of the group. Arguing that they would lose on purpose on a match that can send them directly to the playoffs instead of having to play again is just not knowing a competitor's mind.

" is just not knowing a competitor's mind." Nah mate, it's worse than that. It's about not knowing what logic is.

2015-05-04 13:20

That's why Virtus.Pro won this tournament right?

I would say they are Top 4 with Nip, Envy and Fnatic.

2015-05-04 04:24

Just because you won a couple of LANs doesn't make you top 3 lol.

as if they didn't won big against top tier teams or never had good placings within top4-top8 range in pretty much all tournaments they've been in.

Oh it doesnt? So if you dont win them youre not top3 and if you do win them youre not top3, hmmm, okay, got it.

2015-05-04 07:01

Didnt they beat every top 5 team like 4-5 times in a row including the last event already?

2015-05-04 07:12

they deserve it !

2015-05-04 08:30

it is funny, that he said it 'we're top3', when they beat only fnatic and NiP. He can think that untill next big tournament, Cologne will verify.

They also beat Na'Vi twice, that won the previous tournament.. VP won one tournament without all the top teams, and all you poles keep saying VP is on top, get real please...

Yeeees, vp won cph games where they beat tsm two times, and won esea finals where they beat beat titan and fnatic, faceit finals - beat tsm and lose in semifinal to NiP, where last map was 16:14, that was close match, so so don't say that vp is not top4 atm

Vp is crao at the moment. Behind navi

2015-05-04 15:35

So beating nip and fnatic twice in a row not to mention navi on lan (xd) doesnt make you top 3?

2015-05-04 14:04

1 reply

I didn't mean that team tsm is bad, but the way to call any team winning LAN is just wrong. The future will verify that and at the end of 2015 we'll say "they were truly top".

2015-05-04 17:55

Win 2 events in hole lifetime top 3 Lelelelele

2015-05-04 10:01

So how many times in a row do you need to beat all the topteams to be up there? Does it only count for other teams to do good a 1 tournament to be on top, while TSM needs to win 10 in a row to not be choking and be up there?? It's funny seeing everyone saying that TSM chokes when they dont win, but when the rest lose it's the other teams that played well....

2015-05-04 13:30

NiP-VP game was actually very close, VP lost 2 1v1s and it pretty much lost them cache. And then, if VP managed to win vs NiP, they'd have a really good chance against TSM. I don't think there's top 1 or 2, there's just 5 teams that can beat each other anytime: fnatic nv nip vp tsm

VP got lucky in the TSM game, top 3 is TSM, fnatic, nV Nip and VP are top10, maybe top8 if you try hard enough

2015-05-04 14:02

what a joke of a comment lol, nv has been utter trash lately, fnatic is number 2/3 same for nip, you forgot navi which can rek any team just like tsm, so i'd put navi top 3, vp is inconsistent so number 4 nv being number 5

2015-05-04 14:50

Well they beat most of the top teams several times on lan +2 events in a row. So, Maybe if they win something more, they would become legitimate a top3 team :P

2015-05-04 11:23

I arent think that there's a real ranking for the top teams now, anyone can beat anyone.

2015-05-04 11:24

cajunb is cocky and likes to overrate himself, but I think he's right in this case. TSM is doing amazing lately

2015-05-04 11:33

ffs you lost 1:16 aand the second was on edge..Come on now,rly?

another proof they're top team. only few could overcome such stress after loosing 1:16 in GF and win it in the end.

I SAY CAUJNB YOU SAY !!

2015-05-04 14:42

why is it so hard for people to believe that tsm is a top 3 team? i'd say theyre number 1 as theyve won 2 events in a row beating nip and fnatic many times, if that isnt enough for you i dont what is, if nip wouldve won the comments wouldve been totally different

2015-05-04 14:52

The only case in which they're top3 is if we only consider tournament wins in 2015. Only in that case it should be Fnatic, TSM, VP with no particular order.

2015-05-04 15:07

If TSM wins a major they will be top 5 imo Fnatic- 2 Nip- 1 nV-1 VP- 1

i think at the moment we cant tell which team is top1 but we can clearly tell what teams are in the top4/5 and tsm is in strong position after last 2 lans
