The Bizarre Strategy That Sparked Valorant's Greatest Comeback

When they formed, 100 Thieves were considered one of the deadliest rosters in Valorant.

Made up of a superstar rookie and four veteran CS:GO players. They had enough experience on the lineup to be one of the best teams in NA Valorant right out the gate.

But after missing VCT Masters Reykjavik, 100 Thieves had a lot to prove at the next major tournament, Masters Berlin.

At first, things looked good. 100 Thieves topped their group in Berlin, and the first two maps of their quarterfinals series against Acend were pretty close. But Map 3, Breeze, was a different story entirely.

Acend tore through 100 Thieves in the first half, all thanks to their star Jett player, cNed. 100 Thieves were at a loss on how to handle him.

Until they came up with one truly insane strategy that kickstarted the greatest comeback in Valorant history.

The classic case of never celebrate too early.
I think Hiko must have had flashbacks from 2016 vs SK and experienced what it feels like to be on the other side of insane comebacks.

ahh yes the Napoleon strategy. just run from the strongest player until you win

I think Hiko just had a haunting "A JUMPING DOUBLE FOR COLD" over and over in his head and he's just like "Never again"
I do feel bad for Ascend tho

8:34 most important shot of the tourny

Knowing asuna and 100t, the comeback started the previous round when asuna was in that 1v5. after he got the 3k and almost won the round, to me it looked like that is when they team was like we got this shit. and they used to tech pause to just hit the gas and just ran away from cned and won the series

It's crazy how a better comeback happend yesterday like 12-5 to 12-14, similar story too, sacy went god mode, Vikings were loud, gambit avoided sacy, 2 rounds gambit win and boom Vikings morale reduces and gambit won all rounds

i love the fact that starxo got karma’d on lmao “NA WHO?!” he asked. he got his answer 😂😂

Yeah, Steel dying was definitely the most valuable play of that round.

Another key factor is the round prior where Asuna went on a terror. He was in a 1v5 and still ended up killing 3 and head shot the oper for 149. That round definitely helped deeply for saving the mental.

For me, Nitr0 with the last knife was the major playmaker.
cNed could have isolated the duels with the Op and dominated again had Nitr0 not connected the last knife headshot

Ya'll can hate me all you want but Pansy's commentary was honestly so good and hyped this moment so well.

yourstruly

That one knife from nitro gave me chills. To think that maybe one pixel could have costed them the series and we never would have known this comeback could ever happen

Plethiros

Honestly the sad part is that no matter how good cNed did it's always going to be over looked by the comeback 100T made imo

Okayuzzz

good to see that Acend was able to use this experience to shape their team and help them improve to become the best in the world. Well done Acend!
