TNKZ: The Measure of an Analyst
TNKZ, a player and team captain for the Filipino team Strategic AC Gaming, has always been known for his mild demeanor and a propensity to crack timely, light-hearted jokes, even in a serious setting such as a LAN tournament.
However, this is not to say that he is an average CrossFire player; as a matter of fact, the new generation of CrossFire players in the Philippine scene should thank him for teaching them how to frag well as well as time one’s executes or rotations well.
As a beast of his own, TNKZ has carried his team beyond situations that might have been deemed as unwinnable due to his attacking skills. Proficient with rifles, TNKZ allows the team to shine regardless of the map due to his intelligent and hands-down play.
Strategic AC Gaming: Never to be Counted Out
Strategic AC Gaming is a top five CrossFire team in the Philippine scene. With TNKZ at the helm, they have taken games off the country’s best teams, which include Pacific.Macta, Pacific.Wara and TNC FPS Pro Team.
With their amazing map pool as well as a deep understanding of how strategy can be combined with raw aim in order to win matches, Strategic AC Gaming also possesses some of the country’s up-and-coming CrossFire talent.
Overall, Strategic AC Gaming is a team that can never be counted out.
G1.Parak: Fragging Power
With their aggressive approach to playing CrossFire as well as the ability to brute-force their way into different sites, G1.Parak is the definition of raw aim in the Philippine CrossFire scene.
Their results do certainly say something about their skills: Though they are not able to get to the podium, their opponents still fear them, regardless of the map or series that they are playing.
G1.Parak would do well to make some more strategies and setups in order to utilize their talent in the best way possible.
Reborn GT: A Team in the Limelight
RebornGT is one of the few top-flight teams in the Philippine CrossFire scene that do not come from Metro Manila.
However, their amazing results have shown that they can go head-to-head against the Philippines’ best CF squads and there’s no way but up for them in the years to come.
Instead of relying on pure aim and/or pre-set strategies, RebornGT simply plays a loose style, regardless of the map that they have picked. Though it has left them vulnerable to sudden pushes and rushes by their opponents, it allows them to take openings and work from those tiny opportunities and flanks in order to win a round.
