    what is crazy about Tea is that he doesn't play that much on smashmate( wi-fi ladder) unlike many other high level players in Japan .
    he doesn't attend any locals .
    he doesn't attend any regionals .
    He just attends majors and mostly majors outside Japan . Yet his results are so consistent .
    I keep wondering when does he even practice the game . whenever Tea streams , all i see him do is play FD Kazuya dittos on elite smash lol

    Super happy to see Tea win on a big stage like L'Odyssée. I feel like Tea is the most underrated top player currently. He's so often left out of the conversation of top 10 players worldwide, despite having an incredible tournament record as of late.
    Since June of 2022, Tea has placed top 3 at every major tournament he's attended, and has only been outplaced by players from Japan and Mexico (MkLeo). This is especially impressive considering all of these tournament performances have been outside of Japan.
    -2nd at Battle of BC 4 (Canada) only losing to KEN
    -1st at Crown 2 (US) over Dabuz
    -3rd at Double Down 2022 (US) outplaced only by MkLeo and Protobanham
    -3rd at Ultimate Wanted 4 (France) outplaced by Shuton and Zackray
    -1st at L'Odyssée (France) over Cosmos
    Doesn't compete as frequently as other top players, but Tea has been super consistent for the past 5 months.

      Don't worry, the Ludwig invitational just proved that Japan isn't quite as strong as we thought they were. Tea couldn't even get into the main tournament and NA's best demolished Japan's best (Acola even lost to Zomba at the invitational and Kola and Light at Summit). Leo just has to use Joker against Proto's Min Min and I think that would complete that cycle.
