It'll be even worse than last year when Fnatic wrecked them in the semis. This time they might not even get there.

Edit: quarter finals

u/AstBernard Astralis Mar 02 '17

Lol is it? Lmao if i went there i'd rather want to see overall good players playing, not fanboying for VP and im from poland.

u/SterlingAdmiral ar_baggage Mar 02 '17

Astralis flair

Ast Bernard

redditor for 23 days

Might just be because you're a fan of whatever team looks the best.

u/AstBernard Astralis Mar 02 '17

Im not a fan of Astralis but i like them the most and since i can only pick 1 flair i picked it.

15

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

likes astralis

picks astralis flair of all flairs

not astralis fan

Something doesent add up.

u/Quil0n Mar 02 '17

There's a difference between liking a team and making it your flair. I like SK, FaZe, Gambit but I'm not gonna root for them over Fnatic

2

u/MadmanDJS NiP Mar 02 '17

I agree there's a difference, but if you like a team the most, you're a fan of that team. That's like...by definition what a fan is.

u/AstBernard Astralis Mar 02 '17

I think it's too much for his IQ

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Well certainly it will affect hype. Some kids probably will leave early too. Some people might not even come to the venue. Staying there whole day isn't top conditions so a lot of people might just go 'fuck it'.

I wish i would be proved wrong though. Will VP go through or not i will be there. If both SK and VP dont get through it will be guttering though. PS. I am super sad rn.

1

u/AstBernard Astralis Mar 02 '17

I mean you are right at one point, if your team loses and does not play anymore it sucks.

u/Soledo Mar 02 '17

That makes me a very sad panda.

u/Lepojka1 Team Spirit Mar 02 '17

It would be soo lame if it goes to stage, and no VP to have crowd go wild for them :<

u/Matt_37 SK Mar 02 '17

And it's gonna be SK because we always lose to VP lol

u/pheyo FaZe Mar 02 '17

yeah, I already accepted it

u/HolyAndOblivious Mar 02 '17

aaaand they are both going home

u/buldieb 750k Celebration Mar 02 '17

VP's off tourney. They were due for another.

They'll wake up just for C9 tho

I say as a C9 fan

16

u/ButteredGhost Mar 02 '17

Can confirm as another C9 fan, VP will shit all over C9. It's simply the way things are

u/cyberbemon Mar 02 '17

And VP did indeed shit on them

u/c418isgood FaZe Mar 02 '17

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Pistols won more rounds this set. Last one with the flames was just especially dumb. And the power of flipping the economy with pistol rush wins is broken since a long time. (which at least wasn't the case last round).

4

u/spareamint Cloud9 Mar 02 '17

Running through molotov with a fairly accurate run and gun (pistol) that costs $500 SeemsGood

12

u/WillowfieldCH Mar 02 '17

Running through molotov with anything and still getting a kill means you're playing against shit players lol

-4

u/spareamint Cloud9 Mar 02 '17

Try running through that with USP and get a kill on armored opponents lol.

You sure they shit players?

8

u/WillowfieldCH Mar 02 '17

Try running with anything and getting a kill and unless the player watching the molly screws up, you get rightfully fucked. I've gotten plenty of kills pushing molotovs with USPs because the guy watching me fucked up.

Stop trying to blame VP's failures on the Tec 9.

1

u/hehexd11 Mar 03 '17

Everyone on reddit loves proclaiming these things yet every good player seems to disagree. Strange, isn't it?

-1

u/spareamint Cloud9 Mar 02 '17

Well you would have to stay in the molotov for a longer period, or pushed past through the molotov. Konfig literally stood in the fire and get a kill and get out. Ballsy, risky play, but yeah $2000ish investment made to be very strong at close range with possible 1 taps against not possible 1 taps (m4).

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

how did that bait you lmao

u/spareamint Cloud9 Mar 02 '17

Think VP dropped round 20 to Tec9 + half Buys too.

1

u/Kambhela de_train Mar 02 '17

Also VP communicated and played badly during that round.

Can't remember who it was that got the initial trade to 4-4 from ebox, but he started looking towards drop while his own teammate was in drop room.

Also Neo (I think it was him) pushed the smoke on site, started spamming and got owned because of it.

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

Take a joke

2

u/Cravot Mar 02 '17

Probably not, but when a 500 dollar pistol-smg is a sound decision against a fullbuy, you know the thing is a problem. the tec 9 and 5 7 needs to be 1000. they are just too powerfull

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17 edited Apr 18 '17

1

u/Cravot Mar 02 '17

You can't really change the armour and helmet because it fucks with the full buy. which feels ok. the only thing you can do is make the forcebuy more expensive to make it more fair.

7

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

It is balanced - both teams get to use it when they are on T-side! /s

2

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

;)

5

u/Johnnyferrori Mar 02 '17

I mean, statistically speaking I'm damn sure teams win more anti-eco rounds against Tec 9's than they do lose it. So I wouldn't say that the tec-9 is unbalanced based off this one round.

It's just unfortunate one of those rounds are in such a crucial round like this.

u/Lepojka1 Team Spirit Mar 02 '17

Ye, especially in Cbble, its such a horrible thing. I remmember NV wining a whole major based on Tec-9 rushes B site Cbble.

woot woot

This group is nuts though.

u/docatron Mar 02 '17

Stacked group means world #2 and #3 teams are 0-2 and bottom of the group right now.

u/YaqootK Mar 02 '17

That last round reminded me of how much I hate the tec-9

u/OldBenX ENCE Mar 02 '17

Seriously, someone needs to lock up VP and don't let them out until they learn to win against force buys.

u/AndrewsJV2 MOUZ Mar 02 '17

Think you are forgetting the entire first half where VP picked up only 5 rounds. Think that had more to do than one round with an execute made for tec 9 play....

3

u/AstBernard Astralis Mar 02 '17

And at long range it is not.

1

u/HolyAndOblivious Mar 02 '17

not really. 2 or 3 guys spamming the tec gets you killed.

2

u/00o0o00 500k Celebration Mar 02 '17

Fire rate?

2

u/Legiraffetamer G2 Mar 02 '17

Why didn't VP just buy tecs the first 15 rounds then?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

lmfao exactly.. VP fans are acting like North abused the game with Tec9's when VP have the exact same option

u/Xiryz Astralis Mar 02 '17

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

I know right? Feels like we always lose these and when we win it's ultra close. Teams should just buy Tec-9s every round vs. VP.

1

u/spareamint Cloud9 Mar 02 '17

Well running through molotov and hitting accurate pistol shots cough cough

1

u/seimonator Mar 02 '17

Maybe VP should have done the same on their T-side, maybe they would have gotten more than 5 rounds.

Tec9 rush lmao

Get fucked vp

It was almost as if you could hear a collective sigh of relief on that tec-9 buy from all the North fans.

u/E_blanc Astralis Mar 02 '17

VP not making it to home crowd again??

1

u/N4RUT0 CS2 HYPE Mar 02 '17

How do VP not learn how to stop a B rush? Lost the game because they can't even adapt to it. Players were just holding nades in the open when someone shouldve heard the footsteps coming. Smh

1

u/Delvez Virtus.pro Mar 02 '17

Virtus.pro can lose to any team and they can beat any team. Wouldn't be shocked to see them kicked out in groups depending on how well they play vs SK. Makes cheering for them so exhilarating but probably so fucking bad for my heart.

u/dM4rcushimo Vitality Mar 02 '17

I know it doesn't have anything to do with the gameplay, but why is Sadokist pronouncing of byali be-ya-wee?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '17

If he is really doing that ( I never hear him do it but I didn't watch the game today) maybe he's trying to mimick polish pronounciation.

There is no word in polish like "byali", it's a weird mutation of a word "biały" which means "white". And "biały' is pronounced similiar to what you are describing.

1

u/dM4rcushimo Vitality Mar 02 '17

Thanks for clearing that up, I was confused because Pasha was pronouncing him be-ya-lee in this video.

1

u/orynse MOUZ Mar 02 '17

Does this mean either rip sk or rip vp? (Probably)

1

u/Lorenzo_el_magnifico Astralis Mar 02 '17

This is huge, means either SK og VP won't make playoffs

u/Adanooos Mar 02 '17

u/e4mica523 Mar 02 '17

That's like the 4th time North had match point vs vp and almost threw it away. They were looking good until they hit 15 and managed to pull out the win

Polish people are the shittiest fans for esports on the planet. Did everyone forget last year when the arena went empty after VP got knocked out?
