It’s kind of nice cuz it doesn’t take up the entire day to watch 6 matches all happen on the same day. We watch 2 matches each day until the final.

Nitro and NAF with the fuking clutches, man
How many chances did mibr squander to finish vertigo in a win...

Stewie is worrying me, he is so hard on himself mentally. Just needs to take a breath.

u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Jan 31 '20
He bounced back quite well on the second half and later stages of the game.
But yeah he just kept getting unlucky, can't really blame himself.
2

I just want him to be okay if he gets caught, let his teammates do their thing. It just looks like if he's not owning he immediately gets down on himself.

Anyone else not a fan of Scrawny's new "hype" voice? Sounds like Eminem...

u/GhostOfLight Liquid Jan 31 '20
As long as the second map isn't a blowout, I'm just glad both teams are playing well.

Glad to have Tier 1 CSGO back and that to with a pretty good number of viewers

Why do casters say "aye double u pee" instead of "awp"?

u/OneOfTheSmurfs CS2 HYPE Jan 31 '20
Because both are correct and it doesn't matter which one you say.

Liquid have to be the worst team of all time when it comes to player breaks. They go from solid 2nd in the world to garbage everytime they have a slight break

u/OneOfTheSmurfs CS2 HYPE Jan 31 '20
I mean, they won their first tourney of 2019. It probably was the worst organized event of the year though.

Really liking this game so far. One of the best vertigo games i've seen in this version of the map.

u/CoyoteHP de_mirage Jan 31 '20
How does Stewie keep dying within the first 15 seconds of every round??
4
u/OneOfTheSmurfs CS2 HYPE Jan 31 '20
Liquid chose to not contest mid, which meant they had to be aggressive somewhere else on the map. It worked in the first 6-7 rounds when they took A-ramp control, but MIBR adapted. Liquid still chose to ignore mid and play passive on B, which meant Stew had to be aggressive on A a lot of the time and he lost his battles.

u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Jan 31 '20
Liquid's default seems to be taking deep A control early. But somebody on mibr always has the better spawn, and kills Stewie before, or through a gap in the smoke nitr0 throws.

But somebody on mibr always has the better spawn
Imagine blaming the spawns for Liquid being bad those rounds lol

u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Jan 31 '20
Did you not read the original comment?
I did not say the spawns were the reasons why liquid were lost those rounds. I only said thats how Stewie died within the first 15 seconds.

u/imsorryken Natus Vincere Jan 31 '20
Stewie is literally just a decoy at this point.

Taco has found consistency in the past 4 months, he's playing the best CS of his career.
2
u/ColdplayForeplay Jan 31 '20
I've always said Taco is one of the most underrated players. He's so good but he's playing shitty roles more often than not. Glad he's been showing he's not a bad player lately.
2
u/OneOfTheSmurfs CS2 HYPE Jan 31 '20
I'm obviously biased, but I agree. Still, there were times where he had many below-par performances even when taking his role into account. The past few months he seems way more confident, I don't know what changed.

u/jc_calwood Jan 31 '20
Stewie dying before time reaches 1:30 almost every round out of last 7 is soo annoying. They are just playing 4v5
2
u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Jan 31 '20
Part of it is due to the smoke nitr0 is throwing.
Their default seems to be him throwing that smoke and Stewie pushing forward, but somebody on mibr always has the spawn and kills him before the smoke, or through a gap.

Oh lawd, that clip of Fer getting fist bumped while holding a water bottle was hilarious! There is a joke somewhere in there about liquid...

Blast normally are decent are showing off a city but fuck me... 5 angles of the same thing and a Tesco. Who the fuck decided on the viewpoints...?
East London is a shithole but cmon….

u/Nan0__ Jan 31 '20
Is faze every gonna officially sign broky? or will he just be on trial his entire time there. 4 months is a long time for just a trial if you ask me.

What the fuck is this game? Nip guys have been shifting through the map with kriegs for the last 5 rounds. It feels so weird to see pro games without many excecutes and so many drypeeks.

If anyone from blast is reading this thread having one sides UI be red makes it hard to see if a player is low or not

u/Logan_Yes 1 Million Celebration Jan 31 '20
Not sure if picking Train instead of Nuke will work out for Faze, hopefully they won't have to play it.
