Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this experimental series that I'm kicking off with Riptide 2026. This tournament had a ton of fun pop offs and K.O.s and I thought it deserved a compilation!

For this video, I focused on upsets, pop offs, and I wanted to highlight players that performed better than expected, which is why you won't see all the games from Top 8 in here. I hope you enjoy this concept, and please let me know of any things I can improve! If this goes right, I plan on releasing a video like this for every major (S or more) tournament from here on. Thanks for reading and for watching!
