In this episode of The Rolldown, CLE and Gangly are joined by PockyGom and Wasianiverson, fresh off a wild opening weekend of the TFT Pro Circuit.

We break down the Shurima Cup, the chaos of competing on a brand-new patch, and what it takes to prep for a Tier 1 tournament with almost no lead time. Pocky walks through his second-place finish and mental approach to bouncing back after rough games, while Wasian dives into his path to winning the final lobby and locking in the first Americas spot at the Tactician’s Crown.

The conversation spans everything from scrim prep, high-cap decision making, and checkmate pressure to global TPC results, rising stars, surprise eliminations, and how consistency is rewarded at the highest level of competitive TFT.

We also cover:

- Final lobby storylines and clutch moments

- The impact of two-day patches on tournament variance

- APAC, EMEA, and global TPC results

- Tactician’s Trials and the Tier 2 path back to the Pro Circuit

- Rolldown Rankings fallout and fantasy draft chaos

- Gangly’s homework for the Tri-State Invitational

If you care about TFT esports, tournament prep, or what separates good players from championship-level ones, this is a must-listen.
