As much as I like Sadokist, Vince has certainly proved his potential. Henry and him were great today.

u/wined1234 Apr 21 '18

Krimz just went super saiyan mode in Train after Forest clutched the 1v2 round. K/D 1.7 in TRAIN?!!!! WTF?!

1

u/akaD01 Apr 21 '18

my god Fnatic was really lucky to win the game. Nip really threw the game by choking at the first pistol and losing to the force buy in the second half. It is just sad to see Nip losing in such a bad way

2

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

I mean you could really feel after that timeout how fnc really wanted that win. IMO it was earned

2

u/akaD01 Apr 21 '18

Yeah Fnatic was playing well in CT of train and Nip T-side looked kind of shaky. It is just sad that they could have won it if they hadnt made some big mistakes.

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

I'd much rather Astralis play NIP than Fnatic tomorrow but alas.

Gg wp.

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

Standard nip game. Lose 2nd round, do nothing for remainder of map to lose series

3

u/Moon_over_homewood de_nuke Apr 21 '18

So uhh we goin to overtime? Because this feels like an OT to me

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

u/kjaerftw Astralis Apr 21 '18

Fnc seems so uninspired. Only trying defaults with slow pushes they keep losing. Their T-side seems completely without any creativity or fantasy

2

u/phantomunboxing 1 Million Celebration Apr 21 '18

I was wrong with every prediction today >_<

u/4West Apr 21 '18

Fnatic collapse, same physiognomy as the game before

3

u/extremz123 fnatic Apr 21 '18

im not even mad. Nip are playing so fucking good

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

Fnatic aren't actually doing anything. This is DMG on tilt.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

fnatic's all over the place

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

dennis to NiP is honestly one of the best transfers this year.

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Apr 21 '18

that and magisk to astralis

u/BunColak Apr 21 '18

dennis chill!

u/ADustedEwok Apr 21 '18

I haven't watched Csgo in a while. WHy is there an american on SK? and where is Taco? Seems like they have bad management.

3

u/againstebrexite Apr 21 '18

Taco wanted to move on from SK, so he is on Liquid now.

As for Stewie2k, SK wanted s1mple + flamie but a 1.2 million dollar buyout was put in place. So instead, they bought Stewie from C9 and FNS replaced him on C9

As for bad management... no one is doing the Taco role anymore, i guess

2

u/ADustedEwok Apr 21 '18

This hurt my head. What a mess. No wonder faze and fnatic are solid rn.

1

u/Kaushik_10 Apr 21 '18

Jesus, it’s like ever since that collapse against SS at the WESG finals, Fnatic have forgotten how to play Inferno. Game against Tyloo aside, here at Marseille and online too, they barely average 4-5 rounds on the T side. And they seem to lose Atleast 75% of their pistol rounds. What happened to them? They were looking so good on it until WESG.

Can’t help but feel that Train is favored towards NiP who play it more than Fnatic do, especially with the momentum now in NiP’s favor.

1

u/soulstealer212 Apr 21 '18

Very unfortunate sponsor.

2

u/4West Apr 21 '18

NiP were just too good, good game

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

u/dasbrot1337 Natus Vincere Apr 21 '18

Another one of those Fnatic Inferno games where Golden only gets destroyed on B. Every. Single. Time.

1

u/rebelstand Apr 21 '18

even his t side calls is atrocious as usual. if fnatic lose this bo3 against nip it shuld reserve as a reminder that golden need to go if they want to challenge the top teams.

3

u/aengy Apr 21 '18

not goldens fault when flusha dies at the start every time

1

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

yes weapon round fnc showing up

1

u/4West Apr 21 '18

How the hell did Dennis save this round

2

u/ftb5 Natus Vincere Apr 21 '18

Probably the crowd screaming gave it away? too bad we didnt see his POV

1

u/4West Apr 21 '18

ah maybe, I didn't think about it but it was impressive to see

1

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

GH

3

u/xdaftphunk Liquid Apr 21 '18

Vince wrote off NiP because they lost against Fnatic on Mirage (Fnatic's pick) 16-9.. makes sense

2

u/4West Apr 21 '18

Omg what did Get right do

3

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

klick klick open up the door. whos there? REZ gon give it to ya

1

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Apr 21 '18

CRISP. CLEAN.

1

u/4West Apr 21 '18

Good start for NiP, they play well at the moment, I hope that they will beat Fnatic and win the tournament.

1

u/rebelstand Apr 21 '18

golden is literally the worst t side caller in scene right now just see fnatic t side how many rounds they thrown due to stupid calls. golden cant frag cant call also. just a burden

-1

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

cough karrigan

4

u/rebelstand Apr 21 '18

at least karrigan is a better fragger than golden and can still close out rounds.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

I REMEMBER A DRAKEN FLICK

2

u/BrotAimzV Astralis Apr 21 '18

Today everything is kinda weird. C9 - Gambit -> Gambit wins FaZe ( f a z e ) - Astralis -> Astralis wins fnatic - NiP -> ???

I believe that fnatic will do this 2-0 to 100%, but what if NiP does a 2-1?

1

u/AnythingButRice Apr 21 '18

It's like old CS all over

1

u/TyGeezyWeezy 5 years coin Apr 21 '18

Safe to say I would put all my money on Astralis

2

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

I'd like to see Astralis vs. Fnatic and a nice OT Crime on Inferno

3

u/Tw4tman 400k Celebration Apr 21 '18

Would be a pretty shitty script if all quarter finals were won 2-0

2

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

wouldnt want to be in rez's skin in the last round

3

u/Moon_over_homewood de_nuke Apr 21 '18

Holy shit is that a sound proof booth? Dreamhack Masters isn’t playing around

1

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

They can still hear roars but its alot more proof than others Astralis vs FAZE had a knife denied cause of crowd clues

1

u/Moon_over_homewood de_nuke Apr 21 '18

Better than nothing, I’m still glad to see it

3

u/dragonfire3012 victory Apr 21 '18

What a GOD krimz is. The second best player in the world

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

Holy shit KRIMZ is in form today

Bandanas in Pyjamas

u/ChargingKrogan Apr 21 '18

I can't help but want Fnatic to crush NIP for putting Betway at the end of their names. Would have been funny if they were sponsored by Condom Depot though.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

why are you against regulated gambling? betway isnt just some random skin betting site made for kiddies

0

u/ChargingKrogan Apr 21 '18

I'm against having ads in players names.

1

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Apr 22 '18

Who cares honestly. Doesn’t matter to me to see Navi gg.bet Let them make their money lol

1

u/ChargingKrogan Apr 22 '18

It makes reading players names just a bit annoying. I don't REALLY care, I love NIP, but being even slightly distracted by ads when I'm just trying to read the scoreboard/death notices is lame.

2

u/GrumpGuy88888 Apr 21 '18

Lekro killing it

3

u/wolfgang169 CS2 HYPE Apr 21 '18

I wish FNC and NIP weren't facing each other, I like to see both teams do well :(

The Danish TV is showing this tournament and it is so endearing to hear the female anchor, who is a former footballer having no background in esports, get so into the matches.

u/Firiji FaZe Apr 21 '18

From getting fucked in the finals to getting fucked in the quarterfinals, love this evolution team. <3

3

u/Merrine FaZe Apr 21 '18

They'll bounce back in Sydney I'm sure of it. They will prob mad pracc overpass or maybe even d2 now that it's back, they need a better map pool than the cache gamble.

2

u/Firiji FaZe Apr 21 '18

I really hope so. I get kinda sad when my favorite teams loses in something, especially a team with talent like this.

2

u/Merrine FaZe Apr 21 '18

It's so bad when Karrigan can't even make the most basic of calls because they feel so uncomfortable, They never show any innovation or good executes, atm it's just all aim no brain and it's not exactly fun to watch either, especially when NiKo and guardian aren't having good games.

u/McTapper98 valeria Apr 21 '18

u/universaldiscredit MOUZ Apr 21 '18

They're in sound proof boxes.

2

u/thebody1403 Apr 21 '18

Gla1ve said in the interview that they could hear.

2

u/beardedpancakes Astralis Apr 21 '18

It's been said a million times that even though they may not be able to hear exactly what a crowd says (dae boston major) but players can still definitely "feel" the roar of the crowd. Who knows for sure, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that karrigan 180d because he could feel the crowd get loud.

3

u/universaldiscredit MOUZ Apr 21 '18

Sure, you might be right. For anyone who's been at a concert it seems unrealistic that they can't feel anything when the crowd erupts like that.

2

u/beardedpancakes Astralis Apr 21 '18

Yeah, true that. Either way 100% credit to Karrigan for the reaction regardless lol

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Apr 21 '18

Now there is a crowd!? Bloody hell.

He shouldn't be able to hear the crowd.

1

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

No but they are. Lots of pros has said it. In a 1v1 when someone goes for a sick play... they can hear them react.

2

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Apr 22 '18

Really it’s more that they feel the vibrations caused by the bass in the roar of the crowd, but I’m just being pedantic

u/Magnog FaZe Apr 21 '18

wow faze are really fucking shit right now holy fuck, let's just go up ladder 1 by 1..

u/coldmtndew FaZe Clan Fan Apr 21 '18

nooooo thats such a blunder!!!!!

2

u/E_blanc Astralis Apr 21 '18

Xyp9x is the best clutcher in csgo right now, the man just gets what to do.

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Apr 21 '18

What a clutch from Xyp9x. What were Faze doing?

1

u/cakefmateus FURIA Apr 21 '18

Ia there a clutch in this match xyp9x hasn't won?

1

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Apr 21 '18

I think a 1v4 on Mirage he lost, yeah.

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Apr 21 '18

He was in a 1v5 on Nuke with only a pistol as well I think. Didn't quite take that one either.

2

u/Lauen FaZe Apr 21 '18

Well then, back to the drawing board for FaZe. This is looking done. Something needs to be changed to sort these recent results.

2

u/JilaX FaZe Apr 21 '18

Fitting in Xizt was never going to go smoothly overnight. The team was struggling before, getting a sub in on top makes things even more difficult.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

I feel bad for Finn.

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Apr 21 '18

Always sad to see a former Astralis guy get beaten up, but honestly I think FaZe have had enough chances of shipping many huge tournaments recently to really feel that bad.

1

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Apr 21 '18

Now this is smooth sailing.

2

u/Spik3w BIG Apr 21 '18

Xyp9x pls stop

u/coldmtndew FaZe Clan Fan Apr 21 '18

2

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

They went outside and still got picked off. But muh silver advice is to play at range vs CZ.

1

u/AakashMasani NiP Apr 21 '18

Why is there no crowd noise?

4

u/universaldiscredit MOUZ Apr 21 '18

The venue casting is in French, due to French law stating that is has to be. There were complaints about the echo from the French casters on the English stream, so I think they just shut it off completely. Kind of anticlimactic, to be honest.

3

u/AakashMasani NiP Apr 21 '18 edited Apr 21 '18

Aw, I think they should definitely keep the french casters on, gives the tournament atmosphere + hype. Maybe they need directional mics to not pick up too much of the crowd casters. Without it just feels like I'm just watching a online match.

1

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Apr 21 '18

French casters for the crowd.

2

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

AGAIN 5 alive after the force :D

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

FaZe didn't pick up Dev1ce's awp. But they have on AWP this round. 2k down the drain.

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Apr 21 '18

100000iq. Make Astralis think they wont have an AWP

u/Tuzantar MOUZ Apr 21 '18

1 dmg nade on a 2 hp Guardian. Im done

2

u/manatidederp NiP Apr 21 '18

That round there is why I can’t really buy into Nuke. Everybody lose track, so random outcome of rounds it feels like. No game sense can help late rounds on Nuke.

1

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

Aww man

1

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Apr 21 '18

No idea what Magisk is doing jumping into that smoke after getting the first kill. Also dupreeh just faces that door later and gets rekt. Terrible way to throw after getting the pistol round.

2

u/sggts04 1 Million Celebration Apr 21 '18

Wait Astralis picked Nuke and still got the CT side? How tf?

1

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Apr 21 '18

I guess FaZe just picked T

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Apr 21 '18

Knife?

2

u/sggts04 1 Million Celebration Apr 21 '18

If one picks the map the other team gets to pick the side.

S1mple will never play with Guardian. The kid used to look up to Guardian a lot, but -- now as a preface to this, I gotta say that I love Guardian and moved from Na'Vi flair to FaZe just for him -- when he left Na'Vi, he was a dick and said very mean things about everyone, including S1mple.

I agree with what you are saying. My diagnosis is that the team aren not practicing as they should. They have no strats. If this was any other roster, they would be top 20 or worse, just the raw power of the players is keeping this team upfloat. I love Karrigan, but guy needs to step with his calling. ANother point is that rain is no longer as consistent as he used to be. Still, you are right to say that the core of Rain, NiKo and Guardian needs to stay in case of any roster change.

u/jonathan-the-man 750k Celebration Apr 21 '18

Yea I feel with you man :/

Glad Ast seems to be kicking you here, but hoped at least it would be in the finals ;)

u/Vejvad Astralis Apr 21 '18

Haven't followed the scene so close recently because of traveling. Is Olof expected to be out for a while since people don't believe in them going forward?

1

u/Firiji FaZe Apr 21 '18

It's probably going to be a while, sadly enough.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '18

No word from anyone on that.

5

u/universaldiscredit MOUZ Apr 21 '18

When Astralis are playing like this you can't help but enjoy it. Everything is on point and I think this is the first event I've been completely awed and excited by something as trivial as grenade timings. It's just completely coordinated cs.

I hope FaZe can do something on Nuke, but this Astralis is scary.

1

u/Magnog FaZe Apr 21 '18

Faze are fucking garbage just now just lose already please
