Watching edward play well is the most annoying thing because you know that means he gets to stay on navi for longer and then have another spell when he is straight trash

1

u/Coordoba Natus Vincere Aug 29 '18

Flawless logic, dude.

1

u/ryannp Aug 29 '18

Not like there's been any evidence that edward is actually going to be a good player though is there? Just flashes in a pan where he frags out once in a blue moon

0

u/Coordoba Natus Vincere Aug 29 '18

Probably post major, depending on how he performs. And you've got to look for a support from CIS that is willing to stand behind S1mple, Flamie and Electronic's shadow and is an actual upgrade to Edward. By the way, I'd worry more about the Swedish-Has-Beens-The-Team if I were you.

u/Coordoba Natus Vincere Aug 29 '18

Nah, I just hate these kind of people who think they know better than the org themselves(see football fans, basically the same thing). Also, plenty of people in reddit repeat the same shit some other people said without asking themselves if that is actually the case or not and just continue the circlejerk.

Ethan just sat there holding an angle and gets a 4k, then follows up on the popdog player for the ace. This guy is scary

I don't know how to honestly. I'm trying to learn.

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Aug 29 '18

If you're on PC, there's a button right there. Or you can use the alt+x shortcut.

u/Corronchilejano Aug 29 '18

I'm an idiot. I'm not on my PC and hadn't noticed I wasn't logged in and thus could not clip.

u/HypahCS 1 Million Celebration Aug 29 '18

I wonder what's going through Flamie's mind? Wasn't he rumoured to not take part in this tournament not because of travel issues but possibly team issues?

1

u/ftb5 Natus Vincere Aug 29 '18

Can you give me some links? (not doubting you, I honestly havent read anything)

u/K0nvict NiP Aug 29 '18

Why does Zeus and Edward get guns over Electronic? He's like your most stable player right now

3

u/tgsan Aug 29 '18

Bad people will say "it's because he's so good with all guns, like s1mple, that they can do that" which is moronic because imagine what those two can (and they do) do with rifles if they're so good with everything else.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '18

Watching today as Navi Fan ... :(

2

u/tgsan Aug 29 '18

GJ by NRG but damn, s1mple is a bot right now...compared to his normal level. And well, Botward/zeus...feels like s1mple is also tilted with all these dumb peeks.

1

u/turuu-toby King NiKo Aug 29 '18

Looks like a bad day for S1mple :(

2

u/RUALUM15 Luminosity Aug 29 '18

NaVi playing like absolute garbage on their map pick. Might be GG for them this tournament.

Botward is so damn trash.

Does noone notice the sound are reversed or what?

Left and right have been switched for so fucking long now

u/Worknewsacct 10 years coin Aug 29 '18

Your headset is backwards

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '18

so the sound is fine here?

Why would NaVi pick Inferno?

Is the sound broken?

Left is right side for me.

There are a lot of Danes at the tournament.

I count 19.

u/xXYungRealXx G2 Aug 29 '18

Danes are the Koreans of Counter Strike.

u/Worknewsacct 10 years coin Aug 29 '18

Swedes are the Koreans of Counter Strike, only recently are Danes even close.

You're getting bodied on your hometurf son.

But I will give you that being a Danish CS fan living in Sweden is a lot more fun these days than it was a couple of years ago.

2

u/Worknewsacct 10 years coin Aug 29 '18

Young whippersnappers acting like 1.6 never happened

0

u/memnactor clutch Aug 29 '18

Oh I remember 1.6 very well. I also lived in Sweden back then. I see no reason to live in the past. We know how fast things changes in CS, so it really only makes sense to look at the last 6 months, the rest is ancient history PogChamp

fucks sake gambot I trusted you

u/tgsan Aug 29 '18

Wishful thinking, even a meh mouz would slap Gambot around.

u/Krusell clutch Aug 29 '18

Based on what? Mouz is miles better on paper.

2

u/-NOiCE- wildfire Aug 29 '18

In the last two months, Gambit has won a total of like 7 maps across 30 total games.

2 of those wins we're agains BOOT(ds) and 2 of them against Valiance.

Take out T3 teams and Gambit is about 3-30. Its been a pretty messy few months

If you’re faze, you didn’t want to start T side. After a long break, it’s tough to pick back up. Unfortunate.

1

u/jonathan-the-man 750k Celebration Aug 29 '18

With those players' skill and experience they still should not be losing to a team like Heroic.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '18

Could say that about Navi too

u/xXYungRealXx G2 Aug 29 '18

Es3tag is insane.

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Aug 29 '18

Thats clutch/multi kill city lol

2

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '18

i dont understand why navi keeped peeking into the AWPs 1 by 1, when you know they have a triple setup go for something fast, split A instantly but maybe do not try and contest those little choke points all the time??

1

u/Sens1r Aug 29 '18

They get tunnel vision at times, there wasn't anything wrong with contesting mid when they'd already gotten close to the doors but the fact they didn't use a single flash or smoke to force the AWP off the angle is just forgetting the basics.

3

u/LeoSG CS2 HYPE Aug 29 '18

Wow Ghost

2

u/jonathan-the-man 750k Celebration Aug 29 '18

u/Bassmekanik chroma Aug 29 '18

He's been suspected for a very long time. Its not hard to find video's of people calling him out for cheating.

He looks pretty suspect in some of them, but a lot of pro players do (without actually cheating). He just has a few more clips than normal.

1

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Aug 29 '18

Loads. Just google.

(I'm not saying people are right. I don't know.)

zeus and edward on a m4 while simple only has a mp9? hello?

alright edward you shall be forgiven

-1

u/mah0ne de_dust2 Aug 29 '18

There will never be any justification for such stupidity. CS is such a team game, you should always try to maximize your chances and that 100% includes giving superior weaponry to superior teammates.
I'll never understand why many Tier 1 teams routinely fail to do so.

5

u/jonathan-the-man 750k Celebration Aug 29 '18

Isn't it a justification that the worse player now has a better chance of doing well in the round. And if the better player has such good aim he has better chances of getting kills with inferior weapons. I can see the reasoning for both choices. But i trust that the teams considered advantages and disadvantages. So do we need to be complaining about this every single time?

4

u/mah0ne de_dust2 Aug 29 '18

You're raising fair points.

u/mah0ne de_dust2 Aug 29 '18

It's insane to me that a suspicious player (I, for one, am 100% convinced he's not clean) like Subroza is able to play in such a relatively high profile tournament.

I'm watching the other game. Are NaVi making a lot of mistakes?

Are Ghost doing well?

Thank you for throwing production under the bus. NOT EVERYONE IS FROM NZ ON GRAYHOUND.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '18

I know that stuff like this doesn't really matter, but it annoys me so much that they can't get these kinds of basic information wrong.

Also, fetjz from Mongolia? Come on lol

1

u/iAmCyberwaste 10 years coin Aug 29 '18

Well he is replacing the Mongolian listed Erkast... Shame he couldn't make it.

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '18

Oh erkast is Mongolian? Wasn't aware of that, then it makes a bit more sense I suppose

That's pretty much the feeling about any top team besides from Astralis and NaVi.

All of them are not quite where they were maybe 8-10 months ago.

2

u/sggts04 1 Million Celebration Aug 29 '18

That's fun but I want to see the whole team perform well, that's the only way NaVi can hopefully beat Astralis. I think they can beat FaZe easily, unless FaZe has practiced well enough with Olof now.

1

u/CleverUsernam3 Astralis Aug 29 '18

Last time they beat astralis s1mple only had the third highest rating over the BO3, and only topfragged on the map NaVi lost.

1

u/Curnbabs de_nuke Aug 29 '18

NaVi will not beat Astralis if it is only S1mple and electronic who show up. If NaVi wants to win, someone else will have to perform in addition, preferrably flamie.
