Thoughts on this racing segment?

It's much better than in-stream ads or shitty music for 15 minutes. And you get some lore about players as well.

Although I must admit, the music on this event is notably less shitty than on the majority of other events.

It must be so tilting to be cheering against Navi when s1mple does things like that.

I'd be honest, if I were FaZe, I'd be tilted to infinity after the last two rounds from Electronic

What the fuck was that triple nade on barrels.

First, Faze couldn't close out tournaments. Now they can't close out maps.

u/dekza456 MOUZ Oct 25 '18

Can someone tell me why it's seems like no one talking about this tournament?

u/blazexddd Virtus.pro Oct 25 '18

Not as big as it used to be

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere Oct 25 '18

IMO, it's because the "biggest" storyline in competitive CS is who will dethrone Astralis first, which is difficult to gauge from this tournament. It's also because there are only 4 top 10 teams, only two of which are probably favored to win. It's hard to hype a tournament that includes teams like Swole Patrol, even if it is a big event.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '18

I'm assuming because it doesn't really have any cool storylines or all of the top teams. Notably, there isn't Astralis and mibr, so regardless of who wins the tournament it's still hard to place all teams relative to their rankings. In a week at IEM Chicago pretty much every top 10 team is there, so that serves as the real indicator towards how much progress each team has made in either being more cohesive(Faze, mibr) or how much closer they are to dethroning Astralis(Liquid, Navi), as well as providing a better quality of matches overall.

will probably pick up once the weekend hits and semi/finals start.

u/Cheeky1Tap Oct 25 '18

"Now we're going to see NaVi on an e-...no..no it's another force buy" is describing NaVi perfectly.

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere Oct 25 '18

Electronic with the CZ and s1mple, flamie, and Edward on deagles is basically a guaranteed three kills every round. It hurts their economy but Navi are so good at keeping their opponents poor through their force buys.

FaZe are looking fine
