How is Tom Brady a guaranteed top 8 at every tournament? Hasn't he failed to place top 8 in most (all?) of the recent tournaments?
only the last 2, he got 9th i think? then at FR i am unsure.
if you actually look at all the majors tom attended, hes top 8 at almost all of them. he said in a recent vid that he switched from sub, because he got tired of being made fun of for getting top 8 consistently but not winning. so, he switched from sub to other characters, and after having less success with them decided that he'll go back to his best character and just get made fun of for being a consistent top 8 placer.
maybe if guys like you would have stoped making fun of him for just being a top 8 placer, he'd have never switched to a character hes not as good with in an attempt to win..
honestly, this community has not been very fair to the guy. i have never seen someone MOCKED for being one of the top 8 players consistently, while everyone else who places there gets credit. for tom it was always a blow up after he lost in top 8. who cares if he is not the best? in life you will find that not everyone can be the best, just do the best best you can do. Tom did that, and the best he could do was be one of the best players in the world but not THE best so he got blown up for it. I think it was a dumb idea for him to start all this character hoping trying to find a better character so he can finally win another major but i think he realized that its ok if he isnt the best and that being one of the best is ok by him so he went back to the character he enjoyed most and is best with.
i have started defending tom ever since the charity stream. i have never seen a community try to mock and tear down someone who does nothing but support it, its players, and its charities. I'm tired of it..
back to the topic.. yes tom was a top 8 placer at almost every major until guys like you made him think thats an embarrassment, so he started character hoping. he's back on sub now, as sub-zero, YES he is a consistent top 8 finisher.
