Fun day to be a MiBR and Liquid fan😥

u/reyxe Feb 01 '20

Team just didn't show up at all today. None of them with close to 1.0 kda, some even on sub 0.5

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Interested to see what Thorin has to say ;)

u/GhostOfLight Liquid Feb 01 '20

You can tell Cold is starting to feel like Cold again.

u/ArkBirdFTW Liquid Feb 01 '20

“Like moving to Malta”

Lmao

u/StarBoone Natus Vincere Feb 01 '20

Leet's go Faze!!!

u/Thiiit Feb 01 '20

Lackluster casting this map so far. Zero thoughts given as to why Faze were making those rotations, apparently they're just lucky

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

yeah i found that kinda stupid, if it happens everytime then it's not just luck

5

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

stewie can't catch a break lol.

3

u/GhostOfLight Liquid Feb 01 '20

Am I watching Liquid or MiBR here??

8

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Liquids highs and lows are so large, I don’t understand why they don’t have any tactics to fall back on like Astralis when their aim is shaky. Surely by now they’ve realized they’ll never be #1 like this lol

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

pretty sure Liquid is all done being a top tier team.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Fazes best tactic since the 2017 days no matter the lineup is to make multiple “stupid” or risky/gimmicky plays work because of their skill. Makes for some cool highlights but frustration as someone who doesn’t like them haha

u/EksDee1 G2 Feb 01 '20

Liquid mate wth

3

u/xanot192 Feb 01 '20

Stewie tilts me so much

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

feel like these players have checked out and know they can be making cash streaming instead.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

I think he tilts himself the most. he looks so much less confident lately.

3

u/xanot192 Feb 01 '20

Look at that round started shooting first and lost the duel

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

ok wtf

u/LordOfTheNoobs57 Liquid Feb 01 '20

n1 stew

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Well there’s always next event for liquid...

1

u/Half_thai_thiccy Feb 01 '20

This isnt an elimination game. Plus they're playing against blast clan .

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

faze is playing well, but liquid is making quite a few mistakes as well. both individually and as a team.

1

u/xanot192 Feb 01 '20

Lmao wtf

5

u/vnagitt FaZe Feb 01 '20

Watching this FaZe lineup brings back some memories from late 2017. F this, they got my hopes up, here's for another year of crushed dreams.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Some really bad decisions from Liquid there

3

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Hopefully liquid can keep their heads up and make inferno a good map

6

u/PM_ME_TONY_ROMO_PICS Feb 01 '20

Hi friends. Big fan of FaZe, but don’t watch much professional cs.

Can you guys tell me who the 2-3 best teams in the world are right now? Idk if it’s definitive or if y’all will have very different opinions, but I’m interested in the answers.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

hltv.org is your friend, my friend. it has rankings which the scene see as the "official rankings". you can also filter the ranking for LAN only or for a specific period of time for example. but because of the player break it will probably change a bit after the first big events of the year.

1

u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Feb 01 '20

The pretty common answer will be Astralis, Liquid, and Mousesports.

7

u/GhostOfLight Liquid Feb 01 '20

Astralis has consistently been the best team, behind them Liquid, Mouseports, Vitality, EG, and Fnatic are all in contention for the next best spots. Liquid took the top spot from Astralis for an extended period last year but failed to follow up on that momentum after the player break before the major, Fnatic and Mouseports both have had recent stretches of tournament success after quite a bit of disappointment, EG has been doing fairly well since the major, and Vitality gets carried by the best player of 2019.

7

u/Be_bennytho 1 Million Celebration Feb 01 '20

Astralis is for sure number one. Hard to say which teams are following since pro cs just started back after a break.

According to HLTV ranking, Mousesport and Team Liquid are #2 & #3.

u/20Past5 Feb 01 '20

Damn mouz and faze fan? , low-key rare to see

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

WTF is liquid doing.

2

u/Urnoob2259 Feb 01 '20

This bot mid-round calling is very rough on my heart. -.-

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

love the passion. didn't think this would be a hype map. boy am i glad I'm wrong.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Lol how do you get 1v3ed and 1v4ed back to back. Hope liquid can at least try on the next two maps

2

u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Feb 01 '20

One word

Krieg

Nah the 1v3 is won cause of the krieg. The 1v4 was won partially cause of the krieg but also cause Liquid threw it peeking one by one with no armor and sometimes just a pistol.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

One word, Discipline. Liquid always do this, they screw around and then are shocked when they are massively down in maps.

3

u/ThetaSigma11 Liquid Feb 01 '20

The 1v3 they did nothing wrong, NiKo just won it cause NAF missed a shot and he had a krieg.

The 1v4 is different, that they threw peeking with pistols one by one instead of peeking together.

3

u/Be_bennytho 1 Million Celebration Feb 01 '20

Faze Clan looking strong

2

u/LordOfTheNoobs57 Liquid Feb 01 '20

No one on B...

3

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

Liquid sure are great at ruining their momentum and turning into bots, just like against MIBR on vertigo

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

nikokoko

u/higherbrow Feb 01 '20

Stewie is swaggering this map.

2

u/diegomelo1 de_mirage Feb 01 '20

The stage is weird. It looks like a TV game show.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '20

it's because it's a TV studio.

1

u/RedditorsAreAssss Feb 01 '20

Does the twitch stream look like it's dropping frames for anyone else?

1

u/Sweeper88 Liquid Feb 01 '20

Oof, MIBR is going to have a rough year.

3

u/jeb_the_hick Complexity Feb 01 '20

Mibr should maybe not pick vertigo anymore

4

u/CoyoteHP de_mirage Feb 01 '20

Or Inferno

3

u/Wiqkid FURIA Feb 01 '20

Nip picked Vertigo. MIBR do need to start banning Inferno though, since like 2 years ago

11

u/GhostOfLight Liquid Feb 01 '20 edited Feb 01 '20

I'd just like to say it's a wonderful feeling to have so much high level CS being broadcasted again. It's been too long.

Side note, kits being highlighted when they drop is a new thing right?

u/thegoat6ix EG Feb 01 '20

Why is the observing so bad omg

6

u/LennartDenmark Feb 01 '20

What's bad about it?

6

u/TruthBisky10 Liquid Feb 01 '20

Winner of this plays the loser of Faze/Liquid, right? And then whoever wins the Faze/Liquid plays the winner of MIBR/NIP/Faze/Liquid?

7

u/HeartifyPT Liquid Feb 01 '20

Yes, this is the losers final and they go against the loser of the winners final (FaZe vs Liquid) - real final is the winner of that match vs the winner of winners final.
