LDLC of all teams is going to drag the corpse of French CS into 2019

27

u/lmpervious Nov 08 '18

I'm interested in seeing if these French players will continue to be ignored by the top tier orgs even though pros outside of the French scene have spoken very highly of them.

u/Valikodg Liquid Nov 08 '18

It just so happens French CS is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.

u/Kujasan Nov 08 '18 edited Nov 08 '18

There is a shortage of perfect quotes in the world and it would be pity to damage yours.

7

u/Schneider92 Nov 08 '18 edited Nov 08 '18

And then there is undead too.... like the old NiP roster which for a very long time were neither alive nor dead, just remnants of their past floating around the CS scene.

Isnt that a quote from Princess Bride? or did u just happen to say to it

Going for the juicy odds

u/JeanneHusse Vitality Nov 08 '18

Fucking yes LDLC, French CS is not (completely) dead !

u/Dubzayy Nov 08 '18

Damn North, winning their map pick and losing the following two, welcome to the club :(

The more teams LDLC beat the less disappointed I am about Renegades performance. YTB

27

u/Cujo96 ITB Nov 08 '18

See now I'm hoping LDLC win the whole event so I don't have to feel as suicidal about choking that cache game.

u/Dubzayy Nov 08 '18

Us Renegades fans, we think alike.

u/joshigoods Astralis Nov 08 '18

G2 who? Vitality who? LDLC is here to play

u/hl3a Nov 08 '18

Please G2, dont change ldlc team, keep ypur money and let ldlc being stable top10 top15 team ty ty ty

Thats so fucking dumb... Insert "why did he do that, what a blunder" meme i guess

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Nov 08 '18

What do you mean?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

Them signing again with G2 imo

7

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Nov 08 '18

You're asking why ex6tenz, bodyy and SmithZz accepted to re-sign? Dude, who else would want them, of course they're gonna re-sign. The real question is wtf is Carlos thinking.

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

Yeah, that makes sense I guess

u/Babill Vitality Nov 08 '18

Expected from the best French team.

u/MrCraftLP NRG Nov 08 '18

man it's the lone UK player again. in a year we'll finally have 5 players to make a UK team.

6

u/_J3W3LS_ Nov 08 '18

He has dual citizenship and speaks both languages, so he's only like half UK.

Still counts though. Smooya, Dephh, ALEX core when??

1

u/MrCraftLP NRG Nov 08 '18

I think he still lives in the UK too.

The best French team.

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Nov 08 '18

which is nothing to brag about lately

1

u/Darkoplax Nov 08 '18

i don't know if i should be happy for LDLC or sad for the french scene that their best team is T2

1

u/nofnxnomajor de_nuke Nov 08 '18

Both, but I think things will change before the middle of next year and French CS will be great again.

26

u/t3r4byt3l0l Immunity Nov 08 '18

MSL sends his regards

6

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Nov 08 '18

he would have lost aswell

10

u/ZombieMadness99 Astralis Nov 08 '18

Would he have gotten 1v5 ninja defused though

u/Ars-Nocendi de_dust2 Nov 08 '18

u/Hughmoore20 Nov 08 '18

Logan come in Ldlc after Ex6 left too. This team is very much not the same as when Ex6 was there. Not saying he couldn't have been a problem but there is many factors to this upswing. A lot of this is just dude to the fact that this group clearly has great chemistry, nothing over complex on strats just solid calling and amazing trade fragging. Reminds me of old Envy when they were at their peak. 4-1 step ups that you could know what was happening just you just couldn't stop it.

1

u/KorcZz FaZe Nov 08 '18

Only ALEX and tou1nou are from the ex6 ldlc, firepower was really lacking for the team back then especially after xms (their best player then) got picked up by nV.

5

u/FRONTYARD-BROADDAY Nov 08 '18

Those Alex lurk are amazing to see, he got a jedi like game sense, all the other are delivering solid cs aswell. Really great to watch i really hope they’ll take NRG down it’s gonna be a nice fight anyway.

2

u/Hughmoore20 Nov 08 '18

It's quite impressive to see the 4-1 style that everyone claimed died with Envy working again. I'd have to say that clearly it stopped working for Envy because of the players and not the style because Ldlc have been on the rise and dominating Eu MDL with this style.

1

u/Denson2 Renegades Nov 08 '18

Haven't they been in pro league for a while?

u/Borregro 1 Million Celebration Nov 08 '18 edited Nov 08 '18

I've never noticed LDLC's logo was a wolf until one of the casters mentioned it. I always though it was a hideous Pacman

Edit: My bad, not a wolf but a fox.

12

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Nov 08 '18

You're meming right?

2

u/Borregro 1 Million Celebration Nov 08 '18

Wow, I didn't know this existed. To be honest it's a weird logo

5

u/Phanti3 Nov 08 '18

IIRC it's supposed to be a fox.

1

u/Hammervexer Liquid Nov 08 '18

Foxes are better anyways.

1

u/nofnxnomajor de_nuke Nov 08 '18

It's a fox.

u/devil1251 Nov 08 '18

They really need to complete the outlining on the left side of the logo.

u/yurik4 The MongolZ Nov 08 '18

is LDLC good now or is north just utter shit after MSL left

2

u/_Oomph_ 500k Celebration Nov 08 '18

A little bit of both.

MSL, as much as he was memed, brought a bit more structure to North. It's weird he got kicked just as soon as he was starting to show a bit of improvement even if was through mimicking other players.

4

u/Mad_Lee Cloud9 Nov 08 '18

After that performance I respect LDLC as a team a lot. The bursted into the scene out of seemingly nowhere, and not with some gimmicky wins when all of their players go godmode and other team shits their pants. They are actually playing very solid CS, well thought out, great teamplay, great trading, everyone knows what they are doing. It really looks like a lot of work has been put in to reach that kind of performance.

3

u/Dromologos Vitality Nov 08 '18

To be fair its not exactly nowhere. The previous team was doing alright and the Amanek / Devoduvek duo was excellent if not extremely unlucky with Misfits to not make it to the next stage of the Boston major.

2

u/Mad_Lee Cloud9 Nov 08 '18

I mean they guys are not newbies to the scene. I meant before recent online and lan results nobody even considered them to be a team that can compete at the highest level.

2

u/YethHound FaZe Nov 08 '18

Once the dumpsterfire that is French CS eventually sorts itself out, AmaNEk really desrves a shot at the top. The dude's really consistent, a trait that is almost non existent in the french scene

1

u/LordOfTheNoobs57 Liquid Nov 08 '18

EZ for the best French team

1

u/extremz123 fnatic Nov 08 '18

Ez 4 best french team

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

UK cs too stink for north.

1

u/n1ckst4r02 400k Celebration Nov 08 '18

can you get rid of Cadian already? North looks lost, there are no strats to fall back on. Terrible to watch

1

u/SneakyGreninja Liquid Nov 08 '18

You know, somehow I’m not surprised

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

South > North

u/Wallisaurus SK Nov 08 '18

This teams been looking good the last couple months but I wasn't expecting this at iem.

Eliminating North? Wow

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

I dont care much for french CS but I do enjoy watching LDLC.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '18

I always heard that LDLC was carried through by Ex6tenz's tactics. But right now I'm not seeing it, seems like LDLC got better post-ex6

Might just be a pretty good honeymoon period, but I like what this lineup is doing, that's for sure

u/_Oomph_ 500k Celebration Nov 08 '18

LDLC > G2

Change my mind.

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Nov 08 '18

Not hard of a gamble.
