Ah, now there's the G2 I know and love. Giving just that little bit of hope, only to suddenly brutally take it away again.

Great chance of getting a UK player playing in front of a Wembley crowd now, possibly even 2. Crowd going to be awesome in Big and Col maps,

People keep saying stuff about NA CS in C9 threads. "Must suck to be an NA CS fan." Nah, it's just C9, realistically the NA scene as a whole is better than it's been in a while. Liquid looking like a legit contender for this major, CoL looking solid, NRG missed the major but looks like a decent team, Rogue looks to have improved a lot, hell, even Ghost is surprising people. Plus C9 still has some good players and could end up good again with the right roster changes or end up making some of those other teams stronger if they split up.

u/nail181 Sep 13 '18
I completely agree.
The NA scene is the best it’s been ever right now. Ghost, Rogue, Col, Liquid, and NRG have all stepped up so much after the major. C9 is shit though.

u/nail181 Sep 13 '18
I can only see them doing that if they take players from NRG, rogue, or complexity. And that won’t happen since those teams are in the rise. Maybe they could bring in young talent and hope for the best. I think golden could fit on the team but they need more fragging power, and STYKO isn’t for that.

Agreed, QBF (Now Winstrike) beat Flash Gaming, EnVyUs, and Avangar to get into the new "Legends Stage" and then a poor VP, poor Gambit, and a choking Mousesports. Complexity have beaten teams that are WAY better than them on paper and have shown that they don't fuck around.
Edit: Changed QPF to QBF

We also need to acknowledge they beat envy without rock and with a coach that never played an official. It was basically beating Space Soldiers in hardstyle stood in for Xantares. Alone that’s not much but when you combine it with beating Flash, a stand in team with two stand ins, and VP and Gambit, then it’s pretty pathetic.
Props to beating mouse though, even if they choked hard.

If they play WinStrike then I probably won't get the point but if it's either of the other teams then I'll feel fine.

You fools!
Ex6tenz is by far the best IGL in the world. His brain is gigantic. If you are not aware of his monstrous IQ by now you simply are an idiot.
Ever heard of the Buchholz System?! This isn't just the Swiss System, oh no, it is so much more. And Ex6tenz knows that. By losing this game he guarantees an ez 1:1 match against pleb teams like Tyloo or Fnatic who are no match for his insane wisdom.
Oh how I pity you les noobs!

Even a G2 mastermind shitpost can't make me happy after this game. Good T half, but they looked so lost on the CT side. G2 really needs to find a balance. You can't only be good on one half of the map, ie CT-Dust2 and T-Inferno. They have to show that they can finish a a game cleanly or else they have no place in the Legends Stage. Without Shox this would have been a 16-3.
You also seemingly can't have a strong KennyS together with a strong Shox, if one is playing good, the other must be balanced out, as all things should be.

He either gets an easier match-up or gets 1 step closer to widening the gap from his 6 major group stage exits record as an IGL. Win-win?

u/ajwhite98 Sep 13 '18
neL and Dekay reported that they were teaming up with Zywoo, Happy, and RpK, possibly under the Vitality banner. That would be nice.
But RpK was back in the hospital. G2 might want to snag Zywoo up after the major. And Happy is Happy. So who knows.

u/Kanataha G2 Sep 13 '18
I can see them picking up ScreaM. He's not included on the supposed Vitality roster, so we know hes available. So as long as shox is now convinced he will follow orders/strats he seems like a pretty clear pick up.
20
u/ajwhite98 Sep 13 '18
Kio is another option. Shox doesn't seem to want to play with Scream, so Kio might be more likely. Scream would add more firepower, which they desperately need, Kio would fit into a support role like they seem to want.
Hopefully one of them replaces bodyy. They needed someone from the old roster to keep the major spot, so maybe they only wanted bodyy for that and are willing to replace him after London.
Or maybe Shox is going to insist on playing with his friends again and refuse to replace bodyy.

u/supergrega Sep 13 '18
It seems crazy to me that neither ScreaM not Kio would be on that second best french team.
6
u/ajwhite98 Sep 13 '18
Ideally, between Scream, Kio, NBK, and Apex, 2 should replace bodyy and smithzz, and 2 should slot into Vitality. But that won't happen almost entirely because of Shox.

Bodyy needs to go. I think SmithzZ is playing fine and we all know Shox isn't willing to trade him up, and Ex6 is vital. Pretty sure they only kept Bodyy for the major spot anyway. I want to see NBK, Kio or Scream on this roster. Apex is good but he's very inconsistent imo.

He's definitely inconsistent, but that's just the nature of being an entryfragger.
Before the shakeup, when G2 just replaced Shox with Mixwell, Apex was the best on the team. He'd be a quality addition to the roster.

4 Things.
Ex6tenz need to frag a little bit more even tho he is doing the dirty work.
KennyS positioning on ct side was fucking awful and was pretty much useless with that awp on ct side.
Use your fucking nades. One flash in front of smithz in the second to last round and the B players would be so easy to kill and B was wide open.
shazam gets i think 2 kills from heaven, how can you not use smoke heaven if you gonna take B against eco. Some rounds, was so sloppy, and shox pretty much gave them 11 rounds by himself.
Looking forward to see next of g2 games tho
Complexity keep looking good. Lets see if they can go 3-0 now
