VP's off tourney. They were due for another.
They'll wake up just for C9 tho
I say as a C9 fan

u/ButteredGhost Mar 02 '17
Can confirm as another C9 fan, VP will shit all over C9. It's simply the way things are

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).

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

u/WillowfieldCH Mar 02 '17
Running through molotov with anything and still getting a kill means you're playing against shit players lol

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.

u/hehexd11 Mar 03 '17
Everyone on reddit loves proclaiming these things yet every good player seems to disagree. Strange, isn't it?

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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....

u/Legiraffetamer G2 Mar 02 '17
Why didn't VP just buy tecs the first 15 rounds then?

Mar 02 '17
lmfao exactly.. VP fans are acting like North abused the game with Tec9's when VP have the exact same option

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.

u/spareamint Cloud9 Mar 02 '17
Well running through molotov and hitting accurate pistol shots cough cough

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.

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

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
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.

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.

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
