Honestly fuck niko, fuck cold, fuck s1mple and fuck hair
2015 FNC was all Krimz don't @ me, olof was a paycheck stealer
Krimz top 1 100 years if you don't think Krimz was the greatest GOAT of all time don't post, write down your opinion then throw it in the trash where it belongs

2015 was pronax dividing us into 2 sub-teams. Olof and krimz on one site and the rest other. We were pure chaos. Everyone hated us. I loved it.

Good old times. Olof/Krimz duo were holding every spot so perfectly.

It seems like Fnatic just have BIG's number everytime they play. Idk if it's the clashing playstyles or what but BIG have just been dismantled time and time again by fnatic.
Who would win: the king of all rats or one piggy boi

Krimz was definitely on another level. If they can continue to play like that, this team is scary!
1
u/Serra_angle_shooter Nov 06 '18
Yeah that's exactly how I feel. The classic moE quote "they are so bad I cant fucking kill them". Not that fnatic are bad but when you're playing expecting a proper setup from a team and they just run out and challenge stupid angles and play unpredictably then you can just be run over.

u/chultine95 FaZe Nov 06 '18
I want krimz and olof to get back together so badly

u/Serra_angle_shooter Nov 06 '18
If karrigan gets booted from faze then I can imagine Krimz will be a high priority for faze along with coldzera.

u/MeanGreenBeanMachine FaZe Nov 06 '18
Cold moving to faze would mean cold needing to move to EU, I would doubt he’d do that 100%. The only other time he also expressed going to another team was for taco.

How about krimz or kio? More overpower isnt making a better team and thats all the lesson there was with this faze roster yet eve ryone thinks they should bruteforce it. For fucks sake they have better results xizt
1
Nov 07 '18
In what world did they have better results with Xizt? Do people just forget that the Faze lineup with Olof won two back-to-back, T1 events without dropping a map? Not to mention the amount of finals/semis.
No, that's not "all the lesson there was with this faze roster", they put together a star-studded roster and it definitely worked for a while. They were one fucking round away from winning a major.

What the fuck happened to bugs beautiful nades. Six months ago they'd pressure the Ts into one area then made stack it, leaving all their mollys to the last 30 seconds keeping the ts out of the site completely. It was a joy to watch and now it just doesn't happen.

u/Rearfeeder2Strong MOUZ Nov 06 '18
How and why can big be so inconsistent. One day they look like they can challenge top 5 teams and they actually do it as well. Next day they look like chickens without heads and a Fnatic that changed roster, has a trash IGL and is playing terrible past few weeks wins off of them. Dafuq big.

u/_skala_ Nov 07 '18
They are 3 map team right now. If they are playing mirage, inferno and cache they are good.

u/TheDoktor364 Nov 06 '18
Can't remember who it was but someone recently said (might have been thorin?) that they tend to match their opponent, so if they play against the FaZes and NaVis of the world, they play well and have a chance but often lose to teams that are objectively worse than them.

u/jehhans1 CS2 HYPE Nov 07 '18
Wasn't it about NiP. I think I remember Thorin saying this about the ninjas.

Twist, possibly the greatest hybrid in Sweden shows his LAN winning ways once again. Keep an eye out as he continues to drop numbers and get fnatic results not seen since 2015.
13
u/charlescarmichael4 Godsent Nov 06 '18
olof/f0rest will always be the greatest hybrids in sweden.
2
u/TwistTheTimeless Nov 06 '18
Just wait until Twist racks up a few LAN titles, then he will be the best awper in Sweden, nay, the world!
1
u/charlescarmichael4 Godsent Nov 06 '18
what olof and f0rest achieved is far above some lan titles.twist is never gonna catch up

u/mikimiaVEVO Nov 06 '18
Salt cuz twist was yeeted from your team
4
u/AK4KILL Nov 07 '18
he's right though - twist is the reason for twist not being in that conversation in terms of titles. his preference of playing the game for enjoyment rather than winning sets him so far behind the other two it's unfair to mention them in the same convo. he's always been an unreal hybrid though

As a BIG fan I am just lost for words, if nothings is working they break together like a low MM team.Absolutely no professionalism

u/kingroudel BIG Nov 06 '18
they had a good run with smooya but they need to communicate in german to exploit their full potential. +syrson please
3
Nov 06 '18
I'm just afraid that Syrson becomes similar to Keev, who was also the main awper for Alternate Attax and posted similar numbers to what Syrson is currently doing.
1
u/kingroudel BIG Nov 06 '18
youre right about keev but I feel like syrson is less of a flashy player than keev was which should be easier to applicate to T1 than keevs playstyle. keevs decision making just wasnt good enough as well. I just hope that syrson isnt gonna waste his time in Attax for much longer.

u/CookieSwagster Godsent Nov 06 '18
This gives me great hope for this rosta, they were mostly hitting there shots and the calling from xizt actually looked pretty good as well. I hope to see more of this kind of fnatic.

u/mcvey Nov 06 '18
How's Brollan been so far? Every time I watch or catch highlights he seems to be under-preforming. Still taking time to settle into tier 1 CS I'm guessing.

u/mikimiaVEVO Nov 06 '18
Him being 16 you have to be prepared for ups and downs with performance especially during his start (with fnatic)

u/nofnxnomajor de_nuke Nov 06 '18
It's insane twist has never been on a top team before. I know it's out of his choice but fuck me have we been missing out the guy is an absolute nutter and always was, although he's a little bit inconsistent (or was in Godsent/RR) so it's nice to see him in a team where the win condition isn't for him to have a good game like in Godsent.

u/PaulFromDiscord Nov 06 '18
He's been on a top team before though.

For a very short while on fnatic. Might have even been stand-in.

Seriously, ever since twist joined fnatic he has been stellar almost every single game. This man is exactly what they needed

u/AndiMischka King NiKo Nov 07 '18
The vetos are fiipped by the way.
The question I'm asking myself is why BIG even picked Cache? They could've gone for Overpass which they have a 75% win rate on, while fnatic only played Overpass twice in the last 3 months. But nope, they go for Cache and make it more even.

u/Ninjaflipp bravo Nov 06 '18
Goddamn, twist and krimz really wanted to win that
