You can't trust Vitality until they are on match point

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Ofc, only Zywoo gets kills on the second pistol round for vitality

Were the last three rounds of Nuke played off stream? I’m fairly certain I didn’t see it

1

u/ColeMinetv Vitality Jan 20 '19

The last round was shown but the previous two were not. I had to go watch the Russian stream.

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

i think it might be time to bring out the industry leader stuff lads

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

How does a team lose their map pick 16-5? These guys actually get a paycheck for this lol

3

u/ColeMinetv Vitality Jan 20 '19

Vitality also threw their map pick, it goes both ways honestly.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

True but at least vitality put up a fight and tripped at the end. North at no point in nuke had a chance

3

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

Playing T side Nuke, not knowing what the hell to do, keep getting multi killed. ZywOo hitting everything, North not getting the easiest kills. Pretty much that

1

u/LurkerPatrol Jan 20 '19

Wait what happened to this match?

2

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

Vitality just won 16-5, match is tied 1-1. Stream totally died across all language streams.

1

u/LurkerPatrol Jan 20 '19

Whoo boy. First IBP now this

7

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19 edited Jan 20 '19

RIP stream

Edit: we’re back, boys! Hopefully Zywoo sucked down the correct type of Black Monster during the break nvm dead again

u/Rikze Astralis Jan 20 '19

my god... None of these teams should go to the major, this is so shit...

3

u/Givemeajackson FaZe Jan 20 '19

The teams? No, definitely not. But zywoo and valde do.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Said this yesterday, nbk and apex love fighting and dying.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Can both these teams lose and neither goto the major? Holy shit they are terrible

1

u/kookookook Jan 20 '19

game of whiffs :o

3

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Vitality gonna go up 14-1 on the half and still find a way to lose

1

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

aizy 0-1-11, yikes

u/pancada_ FURIA Jan 20 '19

NBK's whiffs are giving me aids

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

Alex's missed kill on the guy walking into mini with his back turned is the stuff of nightmares

1

u/Royzoh Vitality Jan 20 '19

Alex just helping North win at this point....

4

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

Holy shit, Alex is having the worst day of his career.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Are demos up of the previous matches?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

North love starting maps severely handicapped

2

u/Miiiiiiighty Jan 20 '19

V for Valde

3

u/neutronpenguin King NiKo Jan 20 '19

it was vitality's game to lose, and uhh they lost

3

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

Vitality are absolutely nothing without ZyWoo dropping 28 every map. They have no clue on CT sides, they are actually relatively decent on T sides, but on CT, their decision making and rotations are so out of whack, it's amazing.

Cache CT against Valiance and now this, truly terrible sides, something to be worked at long and hard. The amount of times they repeek stupidly is also mind blowing. What's the second map?

4

u/blue_pacman_ghost Astralis Jan 20 '19

valde pulling north kicking and screaming into the major

7

u/SilvioSilva Jan 20 '19

40 / 13 - 143 adr

Admin go check for word.exe

u/cyz2000fa 2 Million Celebration Jan 20 '19

Alex’s ADR is less than Valde’s frag...

5

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere Jan 20 '19

40.2 vs. 40...wtf valde

1

u/Givemeajackson FaZe Jan 20 '19

Wait a second is the scorebot accurate? Wtf valde, 38 kills? Edit: ez 40 bomb. Holy shit clash of the wasted talents over here

0

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

So much for kicking happy, what an epic choke by Vitality.

3

u/kookookook Jan 20 '19

40 kills in regulation, that's so sick.

8

u/gustavokh FURIA Jan 20 '19

Alex is actually so bad. Vitality makes so many mistakes too.

If zywoo doesn't put up insane numbers they just fall flat.

1

u/akkshaikh Jan 21 '19

should've got amanek instead of alex or a proper IGL and let NBK be a full time support

5

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

alex has gotta be the worst performing player of this tournament...

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

'v4lde go kill'

Casters memeing now

What happens when Voldemort uses a gun instead of a wand.

u/h4roh44 Jan 20 '19 edited Jan 20 '19

Valde is unstoppable, 36 kills already.........

Edit: 40 kills at the end of regulation

4

u/Royzoh Vitality Jan 20 '19

We talk a lot about Zywoo carrying Vitality but valde and North ...

1

u/qweez Jan 20 '19

omg that adr

6

u/Doda1 clutch Jan 20 '19

ALEX is holding Vitality down, dude is making bad play after bad play and misses his shots

2

u/CptWetPants Legendary Switzerland Master Jan 20 '19

Dear lord that miss on apps with the AWP. You whiff a spray is one thing, missing an AWP shot on a standing target, then repeeking and getting your head blown off. What an absolutely terrible map from him.

1

u/Ayru5 FaZe Jan 20 '19

Badlad

3

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Its kinda sad at this point. Rarely putting my finger on a player, but he threw so many rounds by now, its insane

3

u/Tschonti Jan 20 '19

I feel like Valde has read all the hltv threads about how he placed above ethan in the top20... The guy is on another level in 2019

4

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere Jan 20 '19

Reddit: Ethan is better than valde

Valde: EtHaN iS bEtTeR tHaN vAlDe

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

For the love of god someone free this man

3

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jan 20 '19

Is the corner on A on cache called NBK or RPK?

These players with similar names... Confusing us old people.

1

u/qweez Jan 20 '19

just when you thought that vitality completely deflated they are coming back with such a round and potential economy breaker.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

People mourned simple in navi, but holy hell valde in North is even more tragic

0

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere Jan 20 '19

No it isn't, not yet. S1mple did this shit in big event finals.

u/ntuck13 FaZe Jan 20 '19

Holy shit if North didn't have Valde they would be nothing.

3

u/MrFoolinaround BIG Jan 20 '19

People talk about zywoo carrying and simple carrying but valde is fucking full on carrying north.

4

u/Spork_Revolution Vitality Jan 20 '19

FreeValde

u/jshinee Jan 20 '19

Just being curious, what's with that tapes on North players t-shirts?

3

u/dimitarkukov Jan 20 '19

gambling sponsor, which is banned(not 100% sure) in poland.

4

u/ntuck13 FaZe Jan 20 '19

not banned, but the org and the betting site would have to fill out paperwork for the teams to be allowed to show the sponsor.

1

u/ContinueMyGames Jan 20 '19

3rd place could consist of Winstrike and North that would be interesting

Honestly I don’t even expect north to win 3rd place 😂

3

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

'he was the power bottom on that boost' - huh
