ALGS Wxltzy Glaze?
It's well warranted. Dudes comms are great and I didn't realize how good of an anchor he was til this past weekend. He shook Falcons back real crazy-like.

He’s literally a co-IGL wether people want to say it or not. His in-game awareness, comms, advice and ideas are legit S-tier. He is so, so damn good. He knows exactly how to play in every scenario but better than that he knows exactly how to execute as well.

Everyone starting to realize how good Wxltzy is when Timmy subbed

He's been good and important for the the team for so long now. It’s kinda cringe seeing people suddenly say he’s good just because Timmy subbed in, when he’s literally always been good.

Yeah I’ve always felt he’s one of the biggest factors in the Falcons’ success since he joined and it’s only gotten better as him and Hal have gotten better chemistry as IGL and Co-IGL, the difference in comms you hear now where Hal just completely trusts when Wxltzy is calling for a fight have been massive

It's the same with reps and others who aren't highlight reels but do a great job at what they need to do.

Apex players/fans in my opinion are among the dumbest of esports fans if you ask me.
We have on record Hal literally saying he could easily replace Gild with 1 of like 20 players. But finding someone to replace Waltzy is extremely difficult.

Could be that people know Timmy is pretty good, so when they saw how it unfolded they realised how crucial of a role wxltzy actually plays

Waltzy does his job well and more importantly doesn't let Hal blowing up on him hurt his confidence, dude has immense value as a teammate for Hal and people are barely seeing it

People forget that before teaming with Hal, he was arguably top 5 IGL’s in NA.
He’s got amazing macro which helps take a lot of pressure off of Hal because he can give ideas without counter-calling due to him having been on the other side.
He’s also got incredibly tough skin and able to handle people like Zero or Hal and give it back without it destroying his mental.
I’d imagine being a literal tank IRL probably helps because I doubt Zer0 and Hal or probably most pros are gonna act out like that on him outside of the game and everything stays in the server.
People will try to shit on his mechanics but they’re not even bad and he’s anchoring and he does his job well, he’s not looking for damage or farming stats.

I mean when hal is flaming someone for a mistake, its all ingame stuff, he doesnt ever resort to personal insults unlike zer0 who does that really often, but yeah, waltzy is just a goated teammate
also a shoutout to kyle too, always nice hearing him speak or cheer them on!

He totally does. Waltzy just channels it extremely well.

I remember watching him during the last havoc meta. I never saw this clean havoc shots.

He does seem better than Timmy - a lot better

Ya Timmy is a decent pro but he was probably pretty rusty and really needs a team that fits with him. Waltzy is S tier for sure

I’ll admit, last split I thought waltzy was their weak point. After seeing them attempt to win ENC (which waltzy was not part of) and then watching them with Timmy ive never been so supportive of waltzy as I am now.

Waltzy was getting a ton of hate from Hal's community, they tried to scapegoat him for all of their problems and regularly disrespected him, saying they should drop him for Zap during the ENC scrims and quals, and then saying that when they looked good with Timmy in scrims before disaster struck in the real games
I never was big on Waltzy, but the way people were talking about Waltzy the past months was so cringe and ugly, Falcons looking like shit without him now suddenly looking good again with him has Hal's chat on their knees for him

IMO he still isn't that great of a fit for Falcons. IMO he was at his best when he was on Moist With Gild and Timmy/Emtee.

u/Delicious_Impress814 9h ago edited 5h ago
Well, he isn't anchoring anymore actually. Gild is.
He is on refrag now to help Hal more via co-igling. He hasn't been on anchor aside from Crypto since before EWC.
Edit: The random downvotes are hilarious. Did no one question why Waltzy plays Blood/Seer/Maggie and Gild Cat/Wattson/Rampart now?

I will never understand how people thought Wxltzy was a bad anchor and the "weak link" on falcons, he played as the fragger for moist and was great at that, he then switched to igl for half a year and had one of the greatest overall lan performance in that role and then he joined falcons and had to learn how to anchor while playing under the 2 players with the most childish manner of communicating their feelings and thoughts and won a lan with them, i do not see how none of that was visible to people.
i am convinced that Wxltzy haters are people who know very little about this game's esport
