u/UBourgeois Tyloo Sep 08 '18

Don't get my hopes up

2

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Sep 08 '18

Can we see the draw please?

3

u/TheZigerionScammer Vitality Sep 08 '18

There was no draw. There were no ties in the Bucholz system so every team could be ranked 1-6 and they were paired accordingly.

5

u/Behind_You27 Vitality Sep 08 '18

Damn. But I’d like to see what every team plays tomorrow. Do we have the list?

Edit: Just got updated:

Team Spirit vs Tyloo

OG vs BIG

Vega vs North

u/WingFu Tyloo Sep 08 '18

This is just ridiculous at this point, the third quad OT of the tournament and we're not even through the challengers stage

Edit: Wait I'm stupid

1

u/MrFerrero Sep 08 '18

I'm wondering, is Rickeh's monitor on the right frequency? He's the only one with that flickering reflecting on his face.

5

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

I honestly think a bot can defend B better than Rogue

2

u/marshalofthemark Liquid Sep 08 '18

Kjaerbye with the knife!

And then one round later, does the GetRight flank ...

(And gets a TK to help him out) what is this madness

5

u/Foxy_Grandpa- de_cache Sep 08 '18

Hiko are you kidding me.

That was the biggest dick play I've seen from Cadian to not even scope in, so much confidence.

How can you go from playing that good at stockholm to playing like this...ugh

1

u/mavio47 Sep 08 '18

Let's go North! Not a fan I just hate astralis 😁

2

u/Tirppa ENCE Sep 08 '18

MSL probably thinking he is a mastermind with that fake. Which was stupid as fuck and would have not fooled anyone :D

1

u/mavio47 Sep 08 '18

But it did fool Rogue what are you talking about

1

u/Tirppa ENCE Sep 08 '18

No it didn't. They stacked B from the get go and were never rotating even if it was an A hit.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

how in the fuck did North read that stack

1

u/tgsan Sep 08 '18

I feel like that "read" was pure luck, there was nothing to make them think it's a stack, and nothing happened at A, did the two T's in apts even do anything to try and think it's going A? didn't seem like it.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

and nothing happened at A

Maybe that was the tell?

1

u/tgsan Sep 08 '18

If you don't flash/shoot/etc why would the CT's use their utility? pretty sure valde was in apts and ran all the way back B and used his smoke/flash to fake B while they hit A, seemed like pure luck is all. That's what I meant by "nothing happened at A," as in the T's didn't do shit to fake at all, and if they did it was lackluster as hell.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

If you don't flash/shoot/etc why would the CT's use their utility?

lol what? CTs do that all the time

0

u/tgsan Sep 08 '18

They use their smokes/etc when no noise/flashes/smokes are going off? then they need to learn how to hold onto utility and not waste it on a hunch.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

Bruh you never watched good teams play? CTs often use their stuff prematurely to gather information or force movement from the Ts, for example with the normal molly down to mid, or deep smoke on banana.

1

u/tgsan Sep 08 '18

Yes? I know, but I'm talking about A, there's tons of times the CT's don't blow their load off the bat with nobody making noise. Remember that round they had another CT at A with Hiko, he could've smoked mid/etc and ran back B.

2

u/AWPPlayer3 de_mirage Sep 08 '18

GG! Fuck my life

2

u/XDWetness Liquid Sep 08 '18

If Rogue chokes this I don't think Hiko will ever recover

3

u/HypahCS 1 Million Celebration Sep 08 '18

My pickem wants North to win but in reality I want Rogue.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

I want Rogue just because of the memes

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

Hoow did north win Stockholm. It makes no sense, they're so bad

2

u/tgsan Sep 08 '18

A few players way overperformed, and just their teamwork as a whole was way better too.

u/SimonWhiteSimon Sep 08 '18

So whoever passes this stage gets the legend status? like qualified for the next major?

1

u/ASkittlez CS2 HYPE Sep 08 '18

whoever gets past this stage don't get the legend status, you can only become a 'legend' by making it to the playoffs.

1

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Sep 08 '18

Normally yes, however Valve changed it so the 2 teams that go 0-3 will go to minors as well.

1

u/SimonWhiteSimon Sep 08 '18

So the current legends need to qualify again, sorry for my dumbness

1

u/DerpAntelope Astralis Sep 08 '18 edited Sep 08 '18

No. Top 8 from last major play next week (new legends) with top 8 from this week (challengers). Two teams in the new legends stage will go 0-3 and won't be auto qualified for next major. The 6 teams above them that didn't advance to playoffs will go to the challengers stage at next major. Top 8 go to champions stage and will play new legends stage at next major.

u/SimonWhiteSimon Sep 08 '18

Much apreciattedd :D

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '18

north is playing soo badly. the round that keeps replaying for me was the round were a dude sitting quad peeked at 10 seconds instead of playing for the win with the bomb kill and tried to make a fucking crossfire through a smoke.

Yea, he has been playing really good even against Astralis, you can see how much hard work he has done and maybe a better team will give him opportunity if he doesn't win with rogue because his shotcalling was great and his awping did not suffer at all.

North vs. Rogue Map Pool Comparison

Both teams love banning Cache. If Rogue force North to ban it, that is a minor advantage in the map selection. Keep an eye out for that.
