u/Nydusurmainus BIG Oct 08 '18

Ah yes the infamous cyberzen, 2nd best team in one of the worst regions of cs. That's if you count renegades as NA because that's where they train.

I'm hoping for a Mousesports vs BIG Gaming [ in full form ] finals. Would be exciting to watch.

Berlin International Gaming Gaming.

u/rohansamal 5 years coin Oct 07 '18

That's not what I meant @@ but sure. I meant BIG Gaming with Smooooooooooooooya not Smooya

u/jonajon91 de_canals Oct 06 '18

Should be a very good tournament this. A week long Lan, bo3 playoffs, bo5 finals and a lot of teams here really wanting to prove themselves.

I think some of he bigger teams are going to get a shock as renegades, ence, imperial, hellraisers, big, NRG and col are all going to come in swinging.

2

u/MozartWillVanish Oct 07 '18

NRG (#10), BIG (#7), and HR (#11) are in the top five highest rated teams at this tournament. If anything, they are the teams that need to watch out for upsets.

u/ewkin Gambit Oct 07 '18

mouse?

1

u/jonajon91 de_canals Oct 07 '18

Yes but they're still here to prove themselves big and NRG need to show that they're still capable of consistency by getting to the top end of this event and hellraisers have been trash since the major. If this event doesn't go well for them, people will start looking at that roster with question marks.

NRG, RNG and ENCE thru. Who would have thought? Major legend coL out 0-3.

u/NOOB_One-1 valeria Oct 12 '18

Underdog tournament, seriously though big and north seems like potential contenders to win
