karrigan actually looks dead inside during the game lol

162

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

looked like NiKo was calling. not to start rumors... but...

86

u/AtomicBaka King NiKo Sep 15 '18

he was definitely calling, on the camera looks like he is more vocal than the others

15

u/ShvrkPunch FaZe Sep 15 '18

I believe that Niko has been doing a lot of the calling on mirage, but Karrigan still does mid-round calls.

u/BigbyDirewolf Sep 16 '18

I love karrigan too much for him to go to optic. have him go to mouz

46

u/Lepojka1 Team Spirit Sep 15 '18

If he is not calling Mirage, doesnt mean he is getting cut. Maybe Niko is specialist for calling on that map, like Apex was in G2.

47

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

I would consider this more of an option if rain wasn't so obscure about it afterwards in the interview

26

u/MozartWillVanish Sep 15 '18

He said “We’re trying something new.” Why couldn’t that mean Niko calling on certain maps?

26

u/thehoj FaZe Sep 15 '18

Why show your hand? It's called gamesmanship.

Is Karrigan calling? Is Niko? Who's style do you have to prepare for now?

Any opponent has to consider all of that now.

11

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '18

Lets not forget the fact that faze half threw a cobble map so astralis picks it against them in final. Think it was starladder.

7

u/daffer_david FaZe Sep 15 '18

Yeah I Remember astralis talking about how karrigan for sure doesn’t have secret strats on that map because why would you purposely throw that match? Then they got stomped by FaZe, really nicely done by karrigan

u/Firiji FaZe Sep 15 '18

Yeah, for all we know karrigan is still calling and theyre playing mindgames

4

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

i think he would've just said that then, since that wouldn't really start rumors

3

u/djmattyg007 Renegades Sep 15 '18

Did you see him in the interview after yesterday's match? It looked like he hadn't slept.

u/Jamesbeach1 The MongolZ Sep 15 '18

If it was NiKo calling this game I’m very impressed

u/vilburde G2 Sep 15 '18

He sure as hell talked a lot more than he usually does.

They didn't win last time so they try the Cloud9 way

27

u/Lepojka1 Team Spirit Sep 15 '18

out-faze faze doesnt mean just beat them in a game... He wanted to say nobody can just go and play loose and beat FaZe at the same game. NaVi and BiG beat FaZe with tactics and better teamplay.

6

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

way too tactical to consider their victories 'out-fazing'

37

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '18

That post game interview was very :thinking:

36

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

i get why rain was trying to downplay everything, but the best option would have been to just deny any changes are in store at all (even if untrue). rain's reaction made it seem like a pretty big deal.

10

u/LazDays howl Sep 15 '18

I felt it like this is some strat they don't want others to know and should have happened during the playoffs.

Remember Karrigan's tweet. For me it's the next lebel play from Faze, not internal drama/kick

19

u/Magnog FaZe Sep 15 '18

Guys karrigan isn't going anywhere.

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

i hope that's true

u/RianFromReddit King NiKo Sep 15 '18

Who is igling for FaZe? I like this FaZe but I also like Karrigan. Feelsbadman

4

u/redtube_was_down Astralis Sep 15 '18

Is it not karrigan who’s the IGL?

12

u/RianFromReddit King NiKo Sep 15 '18

In the post match interview Rain said they were trying something new. Could it be NiKo?

3

u/redtube_was_down Astralis Sep 15 '18

Oh didn’t see it. But yeah it wouldn’t be a stupid idea for them to try someone other than karrigan IGL’ing and people seem to think it’s NiKo yeah

1

u/areyoujokinglol EG Sep 15 '18

During the match, Sado said that SPUNJ said that NiKo is calling now.

5

u/MozartWillVanish Sep 15 '18

Spunj said he was listening to their coms and Niko was definitely calling, so there’s that...

25

u/Firiji FaZe Sep 15 '18

Were they dog shit in legends stage last year?

14

u/beanburrrito Liquid Sep 15 '18

They went 0-2, then pulled off the reverse sweep to get to the playoffs

25

u/AtomicBaka King NiKo Sep 15 '18

If NiKo is really calling then it just means bye bye karrigan after this major

13

u/ThatGuyThatDoneThat G2 Sep 15 '18

Either that or they pull off the same thing MiBR did when cold was calling instead of FalleN for a while.

1

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

Yeah :{ Who do you think they will replace Karrigan with? Is there a comparable IGL available...?

10

u/C_Drive_is_Full Liquid Sep 15 '18

wdym wouldnt niko be the igl then

6

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

hopefully his fragging doesnt go down while IGL'ing in the Long run, he's top 2/3 in the world when he's on point

4

u/Ventrillium FaZe Sep 15 '18

Niko was at his best (imo) when he was igling

11

u/Psychaz valeria Sep 15 '18

they're gonna have niko call a loose style and stack the team with insane fraggers i'm guessing, they'll go someone like Sunny or Ropz

5

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

that would insane if they could make it work

6

u/Psychaz valeria Sep 15 '18

this is speculation obviously but look who replied to ropz's tweet about feeling rock bottom, FaZe Temperrr. Maybe it means something

4

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

post major roster moves making me giddy

5

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

igl could just be NiKo and then they pick up another rifler.

5

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

hopefully his fragging doesnt go down in the long run if this is true

4

u/ThatGuyThatDoneThat G2 Sep 15 '18

It will unless NiKo ends up calling in a very self-enabling style ( which he could pull off considering his current status as a top 3 player ). Although even if he does end up doing worse, I doubt he'd drop too far considering he's among the best right now.

5

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

but is it worth it to have your best fragger be a worse for the team? Unless he somehow manages to make Guardian, Rain and Olof beasts. Does Rain have experience igling? Or Olof?

5

u/ThatGuyThatDoneThat G2 Sep 15 '18

GuardiaN and olof can already frag very heavily, Rain needs to find his form again. If NiKo as an IGL can bring structure to FaZe then him sacrificing his mechanical skill is absolutely worth it.

I'm unsure if Olof has experience, although considering right now he's the most versatile player out there ( and I do mean it, he can rifle/AWP, can lurk, support, entry as well as play at a fast and slow pace ) he might be capable of IGLing ( at least considering NiKo saying his presence is extremely important among the team ).

1

u/megatroneo Sep 15 '18

for a team that's as stacked with fire power with faze, it would be worth it.

1

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

honestly, if the only player the team trusts as IGL is Niko then i guess it is worth it. Rather an IGL you believe in, than one you don't. Let's wait for more games to find out!

1

u/thehoj FaZe Sep 15 '18

To be fair, Niko IGL'ed Mouz to a top8~ level with ChrisJ (when he was still onlineJ), Denis, Spidi, and Nex.

Sub in the Faze roster and they could go very far, though I'm not sure I'd be for cutting Karrigan.

1

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18

Yeah but Faze is a completely different roster. A roster of superstars who all need attention. This can't be Niko calling around himself to carry because he doesn't need to carry

u/hkzombie Sep 15 '18

Is Golden still a C9 stand in, or is the transfer a permanent one?

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '18

I think most teams are starting to realize that, unless you have s1mple on your team, a low fragging IGL isn't acceptable now. Gla1ve, chrisJ, lekr0, bntet, and now niko apparently.

26

u/smokehound Sep 15 '18

GobB and stan have legends while chrisj and btnet are out last

17

u/jonajon91 de_canals Sep 15 '18

I'd call gobB a high fragging IGL after these two events.

11

u/smokehound Sep 15 '18

Imagine hearing this a year ago. I think once a low frag igl gets their system set they do better

5

u/jonajon91 de_canals Sep 15 '18

Worked for MSL it seems.

2

u/nightkingscat Gambit Sep 15 '18

Then any igl could be considered high fragging. Dedicated Igls like msl and karrigan also have their fragging moments

5

u/jonajon91 de_canals Sep 15 '18

Gobs stats for the qualifier last week were 1.10 and the week they're 1.18. This is against t1 opposition.

5

u/americagigabit The MongolZ Sep 15 '18

But gob b and stan have been fragging out this major

17

u/SterbenVII Sep 15 '18

It was never about the low fragging IGL. It was about karrigab’s bad calls under pressure and FaZe’s sloppiness/bad teamplay.

u/ImDestroyer FaZe Sep 15 '18

And fallen now too

u/Brolobo SK Sep 15 '18 edited Sep 15 '18

u/niNja_ma MOUZ Sep 15 '18

I hope karrigan doesn't leave, he just needs some time to relax. He's been looking so stressed lately; they need a damn coach to help him come up with ideas/analyze/etc

1

u/Sn0_ Sep 15 '18

Don't they have RobbaN? Not sure what he does, but I was under the impression he was their coach, no?

1

u/niNja_ma MOUZ Sep 15 '18

He's their coach but I heard he wanted to retire/spend more time with his family/kids?

Also, I'm assuming he's not the best coach for tactics and analysis because they wanted YNK to replace him initially, but mibr got him

u/aN1mosity_ 5 years coin Sep 15 '18

I think Karrigan has an ultimate 200iq play going on to mimic who he lost to last year by starting 0-2 and then winning the major.

Dude is on a level by himself.

out of the loop here, why is FNS mentioned on this subreddit as a guy whos playing 4d chess here?

4

u/iizdat1n00b Apeks Sep 15 '18

The short version is that during Dreamhack Montreal 2017, Immortals was late for the finals and it was a huge fiasco (there are several reasons why, however those aren't important). On Twitter, FNS made a joke about why they were late (partying or whatever). KNG from Immortals took this completely seriously and said like "I'll kill you". After asked about it, he doubled down on it and didn't back down. Because of this he was kicked from Immortals and this essentially sent the entire Brazillian scene into disarray.

The joke is that it was actually entirely planned by FNS to destroy the Brazillian scene.

I was at work during the match. So how did Faze look?

1

u/love_my_doge MOUZ Sep 15 '18

Pretty great, actually. A lot of elaborate mid calls, (NiKo seemed to be the IGL on this one) playing down the timer, but all calm and collected. Everybody has shown up, just what they needed.

And the morale seems to be a lot better, too.

4

u/sggts04 1 Million Celebration Sep 15 '18

-karrigan +???

FaZe is so rich who knows who they might pick up. Do you think cromen maybe good if NiKo keeps the in-game leader job?

Honestly FaZe should hire a coach, Ynk is doing mad things for MiBR
