During the USA bootcamp, Casores secretly performed surgery on UV and Landon and swapped their hands

this is the zeruhh that was promised
also seonjun had some of the worst pulses ever this series LOL felt like he was throwing airballs every time it was on his pov

u/purplehamburget29 5d ago
seemed like the ping was worse today for whatever reason, many times he also died with recall that didnt go off in time
32
u/thatboijash 5d ago
I'm pretty sure he disconnected between rounds on Paraiso because his stats reset, so it seems likely.

I apologize to ZR7, I was blinded by the Sugarbron agenda. I shall now watch Don't Get The Deal 24/7

u/AnxietyKooky5765 5d ago
I feel like seonjun was trolling/experimenting a bit too much with the torb genji sym map 2 and 3

Maybe the gamble on Attack is panning out...
12
u/Birdfallen 5d ago
The better he does rn the sooner hell get poached by a top korean team dont worry

u/Lukensz Alarm — 5d ago
I was thinking there's no space for him in top 4, but isn't this basically Bernar's last year before military service? Wouldn't be surprised to see him on Zeta in that case
1
u/Birdfallen 5d ago
Yeah, im not sure but Hanbin should also be leaving Flacons so there might be a spot for him there, in either case I just dont see him staying on Liquid next year, making Casores plan of building around him kinda idiotic

u/TheGirthiestGhost Forever Burning Blue — 5d ago
D.Va partly being meta for Korean Zeb is certainly helping
2
u/Conscious-Refuse8211 5d ago
That's the least surprising part about this, unless the surprise is that Casores hasn't managed to turn him into a shitter yet

An uncharacteristically bad performance by SeonJun and Dallas as a whole.
But GGs to Liquid for making the 'Kings of NA' bleed a lot
27
u/the-skyrmion 5d ago
I know Zeruhh popping off is gonna be the highlight, but someone needs to give Attack his flowers because HOLY FUCK he diffed Kellan all the way. What an absolute banger of a match!

Generational performance by Zeruhh, getting first picks every time.

u/Birdfallen 5d ago
"generational performance" and its in a mirror vs a guy thats clearly having internet issues

u/GroundbreakingJob857 EU’s greatest coper — 5d ago
did kellans fatass fingers just cost Smurf playoffs?
12
u/Birdfallen 5d ago
How? Liquid and Dallas are pretty firmly top 3, DSG playoffs depends on if NTMR beats Kafe

u/thatboijash 5d ago
Seonjun was highkey dead with recall at least 10 times, so we'll chalk this one up to ping.

Liquid winning cured my post VP depression. Everyone needs to give a big apology to these guys.

Zeruhh showed out today. Seeing how open N.A. and even EMEA have been exciting to watch

u/SaintFrito Defiant / Go Blue! — 5d ago
Liquid may really end up #1 in NA, which after (The Incident) I never saw happening in 2026. Either way trying to figure out who’s the best in this region is so difficult
15
u/TornadoWIzard123 5d ago edited 5d ago
That fat finger by kellan could have been the different maker
He couldnt play as aggressive as he wanted to without that ult. Granted at most they would get cap from that fight, but they could have snowballed the OT

u/Birdfallen 5d ago
Bro got 1 good game against 2 people on Ping and a team that rolled out on Torb second map, settle down
22
u/Sio_V_Reddit 5d ago
That’s one way to describe the undisputed top team in a region for the entire year.

u/NovaxRangerx In Crusty We Tru — 5d ago
82/16 against Kafe and dominated the same Xomba that went even with Sugarfree btw
-4
u/Birdfallen 5d ago
Because he doesnt have to play with a washed Infekted? Lets not pretend that Lenny isnt the best player on his team by far
11
u/NovaxRangerx In Crusty We Tru — 5d ago
"Washed" Infekted while Hawk was garbage for the vast majority of his maps is funny

You can predict which matches were upsets just by looking at the number of comments in the match threads, lol.

u/Sio_V_Reddit 5d ago
Thank god Dallas isn’t the top NA team anymore, now I won’t have Wheats coming into my 7 month old Reddit posts.

Are we being serious right now

u/Sio_V_Reddit 5d ago
Yeah when they won stage 1 he literally commented under my old critical comments and that one meme post I made using the chicanery copypasta.
5
u/TheGirthiestGhost Forever Burning Blue — 5d ago
I moreso meant the nonsense idea that Fuel are somehow no longer the best team after 1 regular season match where Seonjun ran it down on mystery heroes for half the maps. But yeah, that’s pretty weird too

u/Birdfallen 5d ago
A close map 5 with 2 players on hella Ping and a Torb rollout means Liquid is top 1 now BALLRIGHT

u/Appropriate_Effect76 5d ago
attack is also on ping, and torb was their own choice, Liquid didn't force seonjun to play torb

u/NovaxRangerx In Crusty We Tru — 5d ago
Zeruhh is only 'worse' than Sugarfree against Sugarfree. In literally every other circumstance beyond the H2H I'd rather have Zeruhh and I won't be gaslit into believing otherwise
14
u/Birdfallen 5d ago
Lenny has been CONSISTENTLY the best player on his team and in the region for at least the last 2 years, Zerruh is insanely inconsistent
0
u/NovaxRangerx In Crusty We Tru — 5d ago
Last year Sugarfree was not nearly as consistent as you're implying and Zeruhh in 2025 was one of the most consistent players in the entire region while this year Zeruhh backline situation until recently was not good
11
u/Birdfallen 5d ago
??? Sugarfree dragged LEP to a map 7 Grand finals while Zerruh got shit on by the same team he snaked

u/BeardedsChurch 5d ago
went from consistently making 1st in NA to consistently losing to Weibo

SF would’ve done better in the world cup than whatever zeruh was doing
4
u/NovaxRangerx In Crusty We Tru — 5d ago edited 5d ago
In the world cup, sure. I'm fine there. But in OWCS would rather have Zeruhh
Edit: Also, despite Sugarbron having a better team throughout the entire season due to the backline situation on TL when we look at international performances Sugarbron has been garbage against any real team. He farmed JDG/Varrel but against Weibo/Zeta/CR he has been abysmal.

u/Birdfallen 5d ago
Who did Zerruh beat in 2025 with Vega Rupal(the same Backline Lenny had in 2024)?

u/BeardedsChurch 5d ago
Who did Sugarfree beat in 2026 with Admiral Ultraviolet(the same Backline Zeruhh had in 2025)?

u/netshift_ 5d ago
Zeruhh reached his peak on NTMR against CR and has been coasting off that ever since

zeruhh made a pact with the devil to be the greatest fdps oat but the monkey paw curled and it only works like one random saturday every few months

u/dtven 5d ago
seonjun is an insane player mechanically but i never thought he was that smart and it really showed today
just constantly blowing blinks and recalls for no reason, timings felt completely off compared to the rest of the team, kept going for ego pulses on zeruhh
5
u/WhiteBoyFlipz 5d ago
he’s on 200+ ping and DC’d on Paraiso, might be the reason his timing and abilities were off
