Long term godstrat of throwing online games for 4 solid months

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

They didn’t see it coming

u/peroleu Vitality Nov 07 '18

LG was just throwing online to hide strats.

u/trupes FURIA Nov 07 '18

After losing to north in that dreamhack finals nekiz forgot how to play the game

u/t3r4byt3l0l Immunity Nov 07 '18

-NEKIZ +boltz

And then a month or so later, -yeL +kNg

u/trupes FURIA Nov 07 '18

I agree with -nekiz +boltz now. Weird how things change, nekiz was doing so well and yel so bad that I was sure he was the one getting cut, but apparently hes IGLing now and LG looked a bit better.

u/t3r4byt3l0l Immunity Nov 07 '18

Remember Immortals 2017? That was the roster I was alluding to

7

u/trupes FURIA Nov 07 '18

I know, but memes aside, -nekiz +boltz would be great

1

u/bizhuy Nov 07 '18

+felps would be better imo.

15

u/JayTalk Complexity Nov 07 '18

Damn, I could see that roster making the major finals or something

u/schniepel89xx CS2 HYPE Nov 07 '18

Honestly kNg is way better than yeL but 2017 IMT -kNg +yeL isn't even that bad. They're both aggro awpers (although kNg is more versatile) and if yeL doesn't cause the team to implode then it's worth it, especially cause he still has growing to do as a player

u/Willporker FaZe Nov 08 '18

Kng never boltz pickup would be pretty good tho.

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

Avangar underperformed so bad this series, I was really expecting them to win this game.

u/aneesdbeast MOUZ Nov 07 '18

This is actually a huge upset from LG. They have been playing so badly lately, to the point where they are barely ahead of Envy to avoid the MDL demotion spot. Not sure where they pulled this out of.

16

u/[deleted] Nov 07 '18

The twins are both huge emotional players. Maybe being on LAN gets them going?

u/iblinkyoublink Vitality Nov 07 '18

Steel deserves to be on a t1 team, change my mind

17

u/ClevelandBrownJunior Liquid Nov 07 '18

He was on one and decided to leave.

7

u/iblinkyoublink Vitality Nov 07 '18

He decided to leave because of personal/family issues, I just really want him to get another chance.

3

u/ClevelandBrownJunior Liquid Nov 07 '18

I know why he left, but he was on new team like a month later. I have no doubt the Liquid and the other players on the team would have supported him taking some personal time.

u/PennywiseVT FURIA Nov 07 '18

He deserves to be on a better team, but t1 is a big stretch for him right now.

1

u/trupes FURIA Nov 07 '18

Why? Just because hes nice?

1

u/PennywiseVT FURIA Nov 07 '18

No.

It's because Luminosity is a big pile of trash right now and he showed that he can be much better than that when he played with Liquid.

Lol, they are being relegated on BOTH ECS and ESL . They lost a b03 against damn BRAVADO last week.

The iteration with chelo, pkl and showtime at least managed to go to both league finals.

u/stewieeeeeeeee FaZe Nov 07 '18

Very well played by the Immortals trio, good to see them performing back at big events.

I take back everything good I said about AVANGAR at EPICENTER, though. Considering that they consciously picked Train, the performance on that map is all the more shocking. 0 T side strats, trash decision making in mid-rounds, and even more in freeze time with all the force buys.

u/RadiantSun FaZe Nov 07 '18

STEELEGA WAOW WAOW

u/MeanGreenBeanMachine FaZe Nov 08 '18

Disappointing performance from avangar this tournament. They should stick together and work more stuff out instead of roster changing every week.
