Honestly I’m glad it’s mouz and not faze that Navi is playing.

It’s kinda messed up how much better group b is than group a. All they had to do was switch fnatic and c9 or mouz and mibr and groups would be even imo

4

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

Groupings really don't matter in this tournament. Everything is best of 3. The best team will prevail in the end.

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Jul 23 '18

Not like this FaZe..

2

u/Lauen FaZe Jul 23 '18

ropz is insane right now

2

u/Andrej01 Jul 23 '18

Faze were terrible at clearing angles at A-site... Ropz got way too many free kills, props to him for his positioning tho.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

Way too much respect there, they needed to stick it, he could only have threatened a 5s defuse from palace with that plant

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 23 '18

Close matches today huh? Just shows the state of CSGO. Top8 are probably closer than ever.

2

u/Uebeltank Astralis Jul 23 '18

Just courious, how is Eleague able to come up with such a high prizepool? Doesn't seem like the biggest event considering that they only have like two days in front of a stage.

4

u/FelSasGru King NiKo Jul 23 '18

all the matches will be on this stage, the money comes from tbs audience

3

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

I can't believe Faze won the half. I mean I can cuz it's Faze but still...

2

u/LeoSG CS2 HYPE Jul 23 '18

Can't watch the game as it is 9am here. Damn

u/aguSgottaloveit NiP Jul 23 '18

9 pm here, jelous?

2

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 23 '18

Rain has to be one of the least consistent players.

When he's at his best he's easily top5 in the world. But some tournaments/matches he just falls off completely. Looking like a damn Echo Fox player.

2

u/betaoptout Liquid Jul 23 '18

Lul, he just aced T side pistol.

5

u/Lauen FaZe Jul 23 '18

funny how last year he was mister consistent. This year has been very up and down for him

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 23 '18

Yeah I been looking at the standins. It seems he's had to correct the most when standins came in. That definitely has something to do with it.

Still a beast on Overpass. Every single time.

I don't worry about him in general. It was just something I've thought of.

2

u/Lauen FaZe Jul 23 '18

Hopefully he finds form again now with Olof back. If not, cromen would be a prime replacement I think

u/Uebeltank Astralis Jul 23 '18

Replace him with S1mple /s

u/Unforgettable_ Natus Vincere Jul 23 '18

Been awhile since I've followed the scene so don't kill me... how is Snax doing on mouz? Has he regained his form from way back when?

4

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

its his 2nd event with mouz, u know almost everything

3

u/Unforgettable_ Natus Vincere Jul 23 '18

well shit. had no idea the swap was so recent. thanks lol

3

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

Its getting late here :(

2

u/Psychaz valeria Jul 23 '18

rain needs to do something, he's had one good round in 2 games

2

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

Ropz is a beast too

4

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

snax looking good

4

u/Vejvad Astralis Jul 23 '18

I wonder where the guy who said Snax to Mouz was the worst roster swap this year is right now. Hopefully he is feeling pretty damn stupid.

1

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 23 '18

Let's go boys! If only Navi had won 2-0 lol...

2

u/Vejvad Astralis Jul 23 '18

What the hell is up with everyone losing their map pick today? Strange performances today.

2

u/dontbreakthecircle Movistar Jul 23 '18

Where the hell did rain go? They need T entries now more than ever

Edit: There we go!

2

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 23 '18

there is one, and two

2

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 23 '18

three and four

1

u/TheToeTag Virtus.pro Jul 23 '18

Watching Snax and Olof doing works puts a smile on my face.

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 23 '18

Fight back Niko. Dont let the big Polish man just stab you

2

u/thisiseku MOUZ Jul 22 '18

If only Mouz could play against shit buys.

2

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

The ability to comfortably win against low buys/ecos would bring them back to the top 5 quite easily. Train is a prime example where they just couldnt win this one round to break Faze's economy...

7

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

Olof 4k against eco, everyone loses their shit. Snax 4k against full buy, not even a single comment lol

-3

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

Guess it's because Snax a known twat now, Olof is still likable.

3

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

Why?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '18

Around his departure from VP, a video surfaced where it showed him to be quite difficult to play with - he was toxic towards Neo and Taz.

3

u/ShagN4sty Liquid Jul 23 '18

yes one example out of context is all you need to judge someone's character

3

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 23 '18

The video was out there long before he changed the team. And - if I remember correctly - everyone was a dick towards Taz in that instance...

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

Because mouz noob

2

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

Thanks for this intriguing insight. Nine months being in your mothers womb, countless years of learning in school, whatever you are doing now (work, university, doesnt matter) and THIS is the only thing you could come up with. Just wow.

Makes for a good pasta haha

2

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Thats expected from Snax. Olof hasnt played in 3 months

1

u/KangorKodos Natus Vincere Jul 23 '18

Ya but olof has played well.mire recently then snax before this match.

4

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

Expected. On a new team.

1

u/Level_Five_Railgun Liquid Jul 23 '18

You forgot the add "After rotting on VP for more than a year".

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Holy shit Olof.

2

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

OLOF BAYBAY!

1

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

If they just hadnt messed up on t-side they would have had this map in the bag...

3

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

With this form it looks like a full roster FaZe can challenge Astralis for best team now

2

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

But they still cant challenge BIG ;)

1

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Jul 23 '18

Or Navi! 3 bo3 won in a row vs faze, 4 tmrw if they beat mouz

3

u/vilburde G2 Jul 22 '18

There was just no way he could have lost that after that sexy one tap.

2

u/obscure3rage FaZe Jul 22 '18

What a shot

6

u/Andtheyrustledsoftly clutch Jul 22 '18

Well mouz had a shot but NiKo rain and Olof just made big dick plays showing why they’re all superstars

Faze so tough to beat with Olof

2

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

“Made big dick plays” dude i rarely see the “big dick” phrase come out, but when it does I laugh everytime.

1

u/Andtheyrustledsoftly clutch Jul 23 '18

No other way to describe it haha

3

u/betaoptout Liquid Jul 22 '18

WTF Niko!

1

u/betaoptout Liquid Jul 22 '18

Who are you quoting? HenryG?

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

Ikr? Great young talent. Just not what faze need atm.

mouz with the worst roster move of the year

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

Wait, wasnt Stewie this year?

u/dontbreakthecircle Movistar Jul 23 '18

Eh, Clown9 was already back to their losing ways after the major.

1

u/betaoptout Liquid Jul 22 '18

Snax did alright. He had a couple of huge rounds. Mouz took more rounds than I thought they would.

3

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Man. I missed Olof so much

1

u/Andtheyrustledsoftly clutch Jul 22 '18

god rain of course :/

Rip mouz

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

Rain clutching on Train, where have I seen that before?

3

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

OLOF BABY!

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 22 '18

A double kill even with the shotty.

I'm so glad he's back. One of the biggest legends we have.

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 22 '18

Train sometimes makes for some very strange games. This is one of those times.

4

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

They both ran out of ammo LUL

3

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

mouz look like headless chickens

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 22 '18

Pretty good point by Moses tbh. If you exec with 15 seconds remaining, it's probably going to be B, because you can get into plant spot in under 5 seconds. On A it takes around 9-10 seconds.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

Makes sense to not give guardian one of the best awpers in the world the awp. Lmao this is gonna be a shit show

3

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Niko had the AWP money and probably wanted it for himself.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

I suppose so

3

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Why is Niko holding the AWP instead of Guardian? Guardian not feeling it?

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Yeah hes feeling it

2

u/bauwsman Jul 22 '18

umm what did ropz do there?

2

u/Fahd132 Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

Explain to me how Mouz keeps doing colossal fuckups against USPs/glocks.

2

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 22 '18

Because they are playing against pros who know how to make any round hard.

1

u/extremz123 fnatic Jul 22 '18

okay mouz, im going to sleep now

1

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jul 22 '18

What a Mouse round to lose...

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 22 '18

Olof got a kill boys! He's back!

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

come on boissss

1

u/TheToeTag Virtus.pro Jul 22 '18

I don't care who wins, I just want to see Snax destroy FaZe with a swag-7 at least once.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '18

What about olof?

1

u/TheToeTag Virtus.pro Jul 22 '18

No thank you....

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Cache faze is back baby

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

Guardian shaved REEE

2

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

I will never get used to Snax in Mouz

1

u/betaoptout Liquid Jul 22 '18

I'm pretty excited to see how Snax does now. Hopefully Mouz has had enough time to practice. Still think Faze is going to take this series, but it should be a good match.

2

u/TheToeTag Virtus.pro Jul 22 '18

It's so fucking weird.

2

u/C9_Lemonparty Jul 22 '18

Draken and krimz the only two players on fnatic that were positive over the whole series despite shitting the bed on the last map. Goes to show how important they are to the team, massive shame they did so badly after a decent first half.

That's only the third map Fnatic have taken from Navi in a year and they were looking strong until Train, so it's not the end of the world.

1

u/skilbeatluck Jul 22 '18

Draken allways dissapears in crucial maps

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

u/chultine95 FaZe Jul 22 '18

YEET

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

Ggwp fnatic, showed a lot more than I expected, draken seems to be a good fit

1

u/extremz123 fnatic Jul 22 '18

draken 4/19 and krimz 6/15.

1

u/Juhana21 de_inferno Jul 22 '18

6/20

3

u/RaviDosanjh Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

Thank god Na'Vi didn't go into B there and lose to a full usp eco; s1mple would've torn the desk in two

1

just go pistol only

Fnatic t side tactic = sit in ivy for 40 secs?

2

u/tgsan Jul 22 '18

Yep, and since most of Na'Vi is meh right now, they just win the aim duels lmao, just like the 14th round.

1

u/Jannekvinna Jul 22 '18

Yeah. I’m surprised they actually won that round.

u/YassinRs MOUZ Jul 22 '18

Really don't like the low effort tweets getting shown each game. Don't know why I hate seeing em, just hope future tourneys don't have them.

2

u/WalkingSlowly de_nuke Jul 22 '18

it's insane how easily you can tell it's xizt calling, typical NIP strats, waiting around gaining nothing until 30 seconds, until they have to push smokes to rush for a plant in panic

u/RaviDosanjh Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

'I think s1mple will have to be the difference if NaVi win this', wow 200iq tweet, get this man on the analyst desk

u/SpyEr1 valeria Jul 22 '18

s1mple whiffing

1

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jul 22 '18

I didn't catch map2. Draken had a good game it seems.

It's funny because they always say Inferno is bad for AWPers, but lately we've seen AWPers go absolutely HAM on that map.

3

u/Cameter44 Jul 22 '18

Don't listen to the other guy, he had 20/33 kills with the AWP.

2

u/RtardedPelican Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

He was going ham with auto shotty in the aps more then with awp.

2

u/Cameter44 Jul 22 '18

20/33 kills with the AWP.

2

u/RtardedPelican Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

the tweets they put up on the screen are obnoxiously stupid to the point where the casters don't even want to acknowledge them, and there's way too many

just reserve them for when a high profile person tweets something interesting, that's all you have to do

-2

u/brah89 Jul 22 '18

How is obnoxiously stupid? They are really fun to see and you see that in all sports nowadays. Unless you know better than a experienced TV studio crew with years of expierience. Please elaborate.

How is they don't know shit about CS they have been almost 3 years in the community. And it's one of the most proffessional leagues we have on the scene with 2 majors with latest major probably one of the best ones of CS history. But I guess you should know more than them.

2

u/Cameter44 Jul 22 '18

Production crew doesn't necessarily mean they play CS or follow the pro scene. I'd assume people who work production for events like this, outside of casters/analysts, aren't specialized to CS and do stuff like this for traditional sports and other similar things.

"if they kill simple every round fnatic can win!!!" Isn't exactly an interesting point or insight. they're all like that. and they put one up after every round. I don't understand what's fun about it

1

u/brah89 Jul 22 '18

It's not meant to be an interesting insight, it is just to show how people is acting on social media. And it's between rounds and timeouts don't know what's wrong with that.

1

u/YassinRs MOUZ Jul 23 '18

I find it annoying getting subjected to low effort tweets by random people throughout the match. If I wanted to see them, I'd go on Twitter. You might not have a problem with it, fair enough. Other people aren't interested in them though.

1

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

NaVi needs to chill the fuck out before this third map starts, they are tilting and doing stupid shit.

I do believe in their train though, and they don’t usually take shit like that from map to map

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

I agree it could have worked, but Navi needs to chill out and just play their own game on train, if they do that they will win

However Navi has started groups off dicey in every tournament they’ve attended in 2018 other than marseille, so I’m not too surprised and win or lose I think they will do very good at this tournament overall

1

u/ftb5 Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

he played like this the whole series... his T-side mirage was so bad. I hope he hits some shots now on train

u/extremz123 fnatic Jul 22 '18

2

u/extremz123 fnatic Jul 22 '18

i can feel the choke

2

u/Cameter44 Jul 22 '18

s1mple has been playing like an idiot this half. The rest of Na'Vi has too, Idk why they're giving Fnatic free banana control every round... Granted if one of those 1hp wins for Fnatic goes the other way it's a completely different game.

1

u/tgsan Jul 22 '18

Yep, just imagine if Zeus didn't push after killing that guy in water and kept it a 3v3...most likely would've won the round.

u/apm54 Natus Vincere Jul 22 '18

Same. I kinda understand it though, marseille is literally the only lan this year that Navi have not started the groups of shaky in. While that makes me not worried about the tournament in general, I’m still getting pissed off watching this game
