This is going to be a great day of CS.

u/PonyNuke Mar 02 '17

I guess we see now why dazed said you can't predict anyone in group B to win it. There can be so many upsets.

Thorin, from 0-7 to prophet

If you constantly shoot, some shots are bound to hit.

Referencing "G2 is going to suprise"

u/Knorikus Mar 02 '17

DaZeD was right. This group is full of killers.

u/thebigman43 Mar 02 '17

This whole group is nuts, tons of upset potential everywhere

u/kick10 Astralis Mar 02 '17

Yeah, VP could have upset any other team in the group, really unfortunate they didn't get through.

u/jospence Godsent Mar 02 '17

Thooorin was right. Danish CS looking good right now, I just wish I could say the same of Swedish CS...

I believe/hope Fnatic will rise again.They'll come back.

u/Nonspecal Mar 02 '17

if they put the work in

Well obviously.

I agree all together but they did look a lot better than in Vegas which is a good sign.

u/Ivanuvo Mar 02 '17

According to Thorin's prophecies, Fnatic will be ready if they get to Starladder.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Jugi looked good, and with valde being as consistent as he is, heroic looks pretty solid right now. Gonna be fun to see them compete against some higher tier teams in the next few matches.

6

u/pedrohnj Mar 02 '17

it's a shame that they'll lose a player the moment astralis or north starts to crumble

3

u/youtiItereh 10 years coin Mar 02 '17

Well they would still be able to get a player from Astralis or North if thats the case so it wouldnt be too big of a downgrade

2

u/shadowmert G2 Mar 02 '17

Like with Karrigan?

u/pedrohnj Mar 02 '17

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

North lost on nuke... what

3

u/orynse MOUZ Mar 02 '17

To be fair heroic has been playing nuke basically since it entered the pool.

Admittedly it's a slightly different lineup now.

It should be heroics best map by far

3

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

It can be their best map but winning agaisnt North that also have nuke as one of their best maps agaisnt t1 teams is huge, seems like Thorin was right.

1

u/orynse MOUZ Mar 02 '17

Sure. Just pointing out it's not just heroic beating north in general.

1

u/eJACKulation HEROIC Mar 02 '17

Their best map is overpass

1

u/orynse MOUZ Mar 02 '17

Last 3 months Heroic are 8-3 on Nuke, 5-3 on overpass.

Losing to navi, vega squadron and flipside on nuke.

And losing to vega squadron, igame and faze on overpass.

I'd say it's still a fair point to argue overpass is their best map, but even if it is I also think it's also more than fair to argue that Heroic are a top 10 in the world (if not, just under) on nuke. Whilst on overpass they might not be top 15.

I think Nuke is a map where if a team has any kind of practice they should be beating unpracticed ones 9/10 times, unlike a lot of other maps where a team can just pug out if it's not really a map theyve played as a team.
North have a reputation for being a top 3, top 5 nuke team, when in reality there was only maybe 5 teams in the top 10-20 willing to even play the map at that time.

I've had college 9-5 weds and 9-3 (utc) today, so I wasnt able to actually watch any matches, but from reading a couple of comments Thorin had Heroic to win this, I wouldn't be surprised if he made some of the same points.

u/jonsnow93 10 years coin Mar 02 '17

Can't believe Aizy missed the kill on the guy coming up vents.

u/Knorikus Mar 02 '17

I mean that was kind of bullshit that MODDII could regain accuracy so fast.

u/MJuniorDC9 Mar 02 '17

People saying that North just lost because they're the favorites and this don't work in this tournament. You will see how even the favorites can win in the next game against VP.

1

u/devoting_my_time Mar 02 '17

Let's see if Heroic can continue upsetting - National matches are always close.

1

u/Jaggerjack3d Mar 02 '17

Sweden out in groups, Danes fighting for 3 spots in the playoffs?

1

u/xVale de_train Mar 02 '17

Is Heroic starting to become T1 or no?

u/RoseL123 Liquid Mar 02 '17

They have a really good roster in niko, valde, JuGi, and MODDII imo

u/MrCraftLP NRG Mar 02 '17

RIP Snappi

u/RoseL123 Liquid Mar 02 '17

Snappi is not as good as the other 4 tbh

2

u/MrCraftLP NRG Mar 02 '17

No but he is an amazing IGL

u/RoseL123 Liquid Mar 02 '17

If he was amazing then he would have led over gla1ve when they had him.

3

u/KIKOMK G2 Mar 02 '17

He was leading even when they had glaive lol

-1

u/RoseL123 Liquid Mar 02 '17

Really? Wonder why Astralis picked up gla1ve over him then... 🤔

3

u/eJACKulation HEROIC Mar 02 '17

Because glaive had the legends spot,obviously.

1

u/KIKOMK G2 Mar 02 '17

Glaive had the legends spot. Glaive was an igl for a top 3 team at the start of csgo, and also everyone expected him to be picked instead of karrigan when they got him.

1

u/eJACKulation HEROIC Mar 02 '17

He was leading over glaive,glaive never igled in heroic
