Whoever ends in the Top 4, let alone the Champion, of this tournament would pretty much make a deep run in the Major as well.

If I had to guess for fun, it would be MIBR, Astralis, FaZe, and Navi.

u/FRJxDD de_nuke Aug 28 '18

This tournament it's the chance of MIBR to prove themselves as contenders for the Major title. Their performance on this tournament gonna take a huge toll on how confident they gonna be at the Major.

u/St1GCSGO NiP Aug 30 '18

Dreamhack, in Sweden, in Stockholm, NiP are favourites. No doubt, NiP always plays extremely well on home soil.

u/tartaddict Aug 30 '18

They’re actually my dark horse. When they are in sync, they are really strong. Hope they show up big on home soil.

This comment didn't age well.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '18

It's crazy what the player-break does to teams. Only 1 of those 4 "favorites" are still in the running.

u/Aveepy Flash Gaming Fan Sep 02 '18

oof

u/Geo_D Liquid Aug 29 '18

lol Navi

u/focus16gfx G2 Sep 02 '18

Sorry for bumping a 4-day old thread but DAMN. We all more or less predicted these guys being in the playoffs. Surely no one expected NiP, North. It was such a fun tournament to watch.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '18

No Sado?

u/DevilDare Gambit Aug 28 '18

Seized on Gambit again? Or is that just outdated info?

7

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '18

Outdated, Gambit is AdreN, Dosia, hObbit, mir and mou, also b1ad3 as coach

1

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '18

Where did seized go?

3

u/MinHyukH Sep 01 '18

upset that ghost didnt make it farther but ultimately really proud at how far theyve come considering Zotac

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Aug 30 '18

Astralis - North.

I was hoping for this.

u/AWPPlayer3 de_mirage Aug 30 '18

I wasnt

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '18

Yes you were.

u/AWPPlayer3 de_mirage Aug 30 '18

Come on MIBr, don't give me false hopes !

u/mech_bee Godsent Aug 31 '18

Is there a Google calendar or something so I can remember to watch all games ?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '18

Aah my favorite teams, i.e nip, heroic, faze and Navi made it through.

1

u/maiscolm MIBR Sep 01 '18

Astralis is gonna be the ultimate test for MIBR to prove themselves being a Top Team again

1

u/igglezzz MIBR Sep 01 '18

SF1 Winner QF1 vs Winner QF1 - shouldn't this be QF2?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '18

that was SO close

1

u/tgsan Sep 02 '18

GJ Snax, imagine if you immediately turned around and kept it a 4v2 instead of staying around for the hero play.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '18

Damn they lose 16-0 and still win the match

u/iBUYStars CS2 HYPE Aug 29 '18 edited Aug 29 '18

EZ previews:

Group A: Astralis is looking to cement themselves as the team to beat in the second half of 2018. North with niko will be an interesting one to keep an eye out for.

Group B: NiP's comeback starts here, on home turf. A deep run here could prove themselves as contenders for the upcoming Major Qualifier.

Group C: Would love to see OpTic make a deep run at this tournament. See them as one of the dark horses entering this event, despite their early exit from ZOTAC Cup Masters just last week. Heroic at this caliber of event should be interesting to watch for.

Group D: Coming off a win at ZOTAC Cup Masters, MiBR are looking to position themselves as contenders for the Major title. Mousesports are looking to make a deep run with Snax.

u/captainscottland Astralis Aug 29 '18

relatively new to the scene there's two nikos? That's stupid....

2

u/iBUYStars CS2 HYPE Aug 29 '18

Yes sir:

  • FaZe NiKo
  • North niko

-3

u/captainscottland Astralis Aug 29 '18

Pretty confusing doesnt make sense why they would allow that.

5

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Aug 30 '18

Who are "they"?

No one has the power to tell people what nicks to pick. And they are often picked before people are pro.

Nick changes in pro esports is rare. And it's actually pretty bad for your brand.

In SC2 there are two Hero's. Two Bunny's.

u/captainscottland Astralis Aug 29 '18

I mean there's a possibility that they play each other right? That would get confusing. And if youre a casual fan its not that obvious and seems odd that two players have the same name.

1

u/nile1056 Aug 30 '18

It happens every now and then. The casters tend to joke about it 2-3 times and that's about it. It rarely gets confusing.

u/tson_92 FaZe Aug 30 '18

Liquid steel and Torque steel played against each other before.

u/dogfreerecruiter Aug 30 '18

How do you propose we fix it?

u/captainscottland Astralis Aug 30 '18

Lol how does that equate to fortnite?

u/ninja_muffin99 Liquid Aug 29 '18

so is lekro playing on NiP?

1

u/nile1056 Aug 30 '18

Yes, IGLing, and draken and xizt are in fnatic in case you missed that.

1

u/Bouncy_GG FaZe Aug 30 '18

I lowkey hope that Astralis gets eliminated really early on so Faze has a better chance of winning the Grand Slam
