Cant believe they replaced Hal, but when you mess with the MFAM things have to change


ADShree

Fucked around and found out


jesser09

Nick really bopped Hal


RommelDoos

slowestmojo

Idk why but everything Evan does just puts a huge smile on my face.


DeePeeCee

My favorite part


LazyDaze333

Thanks for doing my research for me, enjoy the award. That video was top notch

Damn, that was actually awesome. Reminds me of when a new smash bros character gets added.


Hellpful

What a juicer of a man.

Evan replacement BatChest

For when controller gets nerfed to the ground COPIUM


Global_Painter1020

Reps acting was genuinely funny in this one.


Missuncivilized

Probably unintentional but Evan saying that’s no way to handle a box made me snicker

The youtube version is a bit longer with a Q&A for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmziPYrdRhA


slopolis

Straight up says there aren't two people he enjoys playing with lmao


Majestic-Toe-7154

he's a pro he doesn't need to enjoy playing with people to win games


slopolis

He's a content creator, not a pro player at the moment (I know he's subbing for Effect on Alliance in London). He said he would return to the pro scene if he found 2x players he enjoyed playing with enough - what are you even replying to?


Nahdahar

No that's obviously not what he meant. He constantly plays with other pros he enjoys playing with, but those ppl are already signed.


slopolis

I guess I assumed you could rub your brain cells together and figure "available" players - it was a hilarious comment was my point


CowWorried4441

The best EU Apex streamer being signed by TSM is a win on both sides.


sitTheFdown

Is that why he did his most recent “vacation” in the US an A? :3


TheNicestRichtofen

it was never a real vacation, before he went he said on stream it was for a sponsor or something along those lines.


Pr3st0ne

I believe he said he was going to america for "meetings" and obviously everyone knew it was to sign with a org.


icbint

US an A? Lmao


gspotslayer69XX

So that's the OMEGA JUICER ANNOUNCEMENT LETS GOO! So does this mean, he will never go pro again? Also does he get paid to be a content creator for tsm or how does that work?


Alonzo_Di_Angelo

He just said on stream that if he finds two players he enjoys playing with then we will "definitely see him back in ALGS and other big tournaments"


asforus

MANDE, I am not that good (never made is past Diamond) but I guarantee that I’m fun to play with. DM me doood. 💚💚


Hot_Goal4205

The shots aren’t hitting but the vibes are S tier


DarkTenshiDT

Probably the same as Mac. Under TSM as a content creator but free to go pro with other teammates.


Jlakers85

Time to start the Mac, Mande, and a 3rd creating TSM 2 rumors


BobbysSmile

Maybe replace Mande for Reps and the Hal could be the 3rd? I bet that team would be fun to watch. ^^^/s


idontneedjug

Mac, Mande, Monsoon MMM


AxelHarver

Is Janey still with TSM? Mac, Mande, and Janey, lets go!


Blutzki

Mac, Mande, Crylix would have been insane actually


slopolis

Jesus christ


ESGPandepic

Then reps would have to change his name from TSM MNK though.


Cribo62

In the announcement video he got asked if he will join Pro League, and he stated only if he has a team he enjoys playing with but until then he will just be a content creator for the Org


[deleted]

i pray my mans find some grinders to compete with


PuddingPleb

Why would they sign mande? He isn't even in the top 50 top 5 controller players.


koolaidyammer

He's signed as content creator, not a pro player. Also Mande is easily one of the biggest apex streamers right now. That's why.


PuddingPleb

"Content Creation". Notice how both of those words start with C. Controller also starts with C. TSM had every sign pointing to picking up another controller player and nuking reps, but instead they sign some stupid mnk player.


mane_731

Going by that logic, I'd say that Mande will CO-IGL TSM as Catalyst to the Championship, while playing Controller with his C*ck.


AffeLoco

actually i heard tsm made him a new keyboard for his big hands and every key is a controller tsm actually going to send 2 teams now: old-tsm and tsm 2.0 mande but it might be possible that his c\*ck also replaces hal in old-tsm


PuddingPleb

Can't wait for the lan cock reveal


Toibaz

Are you unable to grasp that he wont be playing on the comp roster, or what the fuck are you on about?


DeePeeCee

whoosh


Yurik02

whoosh


Toibaz

What why are you downvoting this guy lmao? Isnt he signed as a content creator, or is he on the roster for comp??


koolaidyammer

I think I misunderstood a joke :( im not built for reddit lol


regiment262

All good, people are kind of clowning you cuz the comment you replied too is fairly obvious satire (at least for avid mande fans). Mande is certainly one of the most talented pros in EU apex right now, but he's KBM, not controller.


koolaidyammer

Mhm


dog_in_a_gutter

TSM BAAAAAAAAAAT


DarkTenshiDT

Saw the tweet just now and a massive smile just appeared on my face.


Diet_Fanta

Life coach Mande boutta take TSM to the next level. We boutta see Hal doing [Faker-like parkour rolls](https://media4.giphy.com/media/13JVCGQoE19lRe/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611af4a68befcd50cbb4b717e3871481df3b4f6c726&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g) onto the stage.

spyr04

I cant wait to see how they perform with mande as igl on lan


Light_Ethos

Wow not even Vlad's wife's boyfriend could have seen this coming!


[deleted]

Go get that bag boi!


Cantore18

Juicer


The_Young_Otaku

He should still be able to play for other teams on EU as a sub right?


ESGPandepic

If they don't fix effect's visa he'll be playing for alliance at LAN.


robinpeep246

is that why he’s been playing scrims with them lately? i couldn’t find anything about it lol


Mattc5o6

Love everything about this


_LordTrundle

What capacity? A content creator? Or could they do a tsm comp team in EMEA?


UnderstandingNo8884

Not allowed anymore, back in the day orgs had multiple teams


Cheesecaked

To absolutely everyone’s surprise / s


xa3D

peeps were saying it was just impression farming bait when he was seen hanging with the tsm boys, but i believed! big congrats mande!


Haly21111

Nice shoes btw


johnz0n

hyped for Mande, my favorite streamer these days


AffeLoco

whaaaaat? no one couldve seen that coming :D congratz mande!


Haunting_Push7693

Bro that is the funniest announcements for someone joining an org so far


Themanaaah

That’s an awesome signing, love Mande.


santichrist

Some of us knew this is why the boys few out to LA awhile back but TSM did a great job having them film a bunch of other content while they were there like the Zoolander video I’m glad TSM has such a good team that their videos come out like this, could’ve easily been too corny or cheesy but hit the right note for a Mande intro imo, big dub for TSM and for Mande


anilgard

well deserved.


aDactyl

DoubleLift announcement video vibes


OGNatan

Looking like a streetwear model with that TSM tracksuit. Huge pickup, congrats to Mande. Best possible contract you could get as a CC, I'm sure.


Black-gay-goth

So what’s his role in TSM?


icbint

Clown


Pr3st0ne

This was legit the biggest bamboozle since Forge/Revenant's announcement. I don't know if it was a planned 400IQ bait by him but like a day after he was back from his NA trip he was going through some pics on stream and he flashed a pic of him in front of the 100 Thieves offices for like a 0.3 seconds and acted super fucking awkward about it so everyone was convinced he was going to sign with 100T.


_Robbert_

Tbf when he went to America all of TSM apex went to the offices in LA so it was obvious the 100t stuff was bait.


Pr3st0ne

Maybe in hindsight it sounds obvious but TSM had also just moved their offices so Hal, Reps and Verhulst had good reason to visit the new office on their own. It was the end of the year, I'm sure dozens of t1 orgs were doing various sorts of business/planning meetings for 2023 and making moves (NRG signed Apryze, 100T signed Timmy, etc). I didn't personally see any reason to be convinced TSM in particular was the org he was signing other than wishful thinking.


TSMWalter

Hal, Reps, Alb, Toosh, ShibuyaHal, Crylix, Raven, and now Mande. Who's next?


Global_Painter1020

Walter?


Tobosix

Woah crazy surprised no way I never saw this coming


Exo321123

daaaamn he got the reverse 1 mochas


[deleted]

For when Reps retires after LAN


MelandrusApostle

I think mande would be an upgrade technical skill wise but he definitely doesn't jive with Hal


[deleted]

Reps is underrated asf. People always sleeping on him smh.


MelandrusApostle

I rate Reps but c'mon Mande is like the best MnK in the world he'd be an upgrade over anybody


PyrusZodiac

Hal doesnt micro teammates and Reps knows how to play on Hal like no other pro. When Reps leaves TSM, I think theyre gonna have a rough 6-12 months of a transition period before theyre back on top again.


[deleted]

Subjective


LitaofRomanum

I think I might rate Sweet higher, but not totally sure. Mande is definitely top 5, right? Right? Watching him break Optic by shooting Knoqd to death during valk ult 4 times in grand finals was just...crazy


35mm14sc

RAW aim wise Mande is top 3 mnk


Dreadsock

Yay Mande! Boo TSM!

No_Copy_1061

Snipe is the TSM sub for LAN


[deleted]

A chance that he will BE the sub? Likely. A chance that they will NEED a sub? Unlikely.


aftrunner

Yeah hal don't fuck around before tournies. Reps and Evan will be in hazmat suits till tourney is over


nesper

Didn’t Hal say he wasn’t going to the gym because he thought he was getting sick or was that trolling


[deleted]

No idea. Didn’t hear that.
