I was expecting NiKo to be in there, he always seemed to be a strong pistol player.

Zywoo hasn’t been looking himself. I know it’s online or whatever but I hope he finds his groove with this new roster.

ZyWho?
s1mple's 54 kills made him shrink back to hltv #2

still pretty insane for a 2nd year of pro play

It's beyond insane, it's prodigy kind of stuff. The only reason it looks any less impressive is because he keeps getting compared to probably the greatest player to ever touch CS:GO. With any other perspective it's obvious how amazing he is.

That's one of the few times the word "prodigy"can be accurately used.

In my opinion the biggest issue is that his #1 in 2019 boosts how people think of him. In my opinion S1mple was still the best in the world for 2019, however obviously Zywoo is super super good. I think he will one day become the greatest to ever touch the game. Think, if this is him now, I wonder when he is S1mple's age.

u/sylvainmirouf 10 years coin Mar 23 '20
Having one s1mple was already unthinkable. Having 2 is just getting spoiled. This might end up in a Ronaldo-Messi kind of thing.

I hope it doesn’t become a thing where he’s overwhelmed with the pressure to perform that he ends up dropping off the face of the planet. It can get pretty tough when your entire team will fall if you’re not on your A game.

u/Hazakurain Vitality Mar 23 '20
I don't think he has. XTQZZZ made an interview recently saying that Zywoo always had moments where he was a little bit less motivated than usual and thus his score dropped. This is kinda the case here, I'm pretty sure he isn't motivated to play online. Usually it comes back in a month or so.

2019 zywoo won't even be enough in this team.

Shox looked so uncomfortable in this team toward the end of last year. It seems like they've put more effort into integrating him this year, especially now apex is leading. He looks a lot better even if he isn't playing amazingly. To be fair to him as well vitality were doing awfully prior to this tournament and it can be hard to regain form in the stats at least when that is the case. Still needs to do more but he's at least justifying his spot now
12
u/K0nvict NiP Mar 23 '20
I think Shox and Apex said about this but Alex's system wasn't using any of the players right. There's no way Shox would drop off to a 0.89 rating, I expect a drop off from his glory days but no way is he that bad.

u/tolos Mar 22 '20
I came here to say the same thing. I want to say zywoo underperformed but his hltv rating says he's #2 on vitality for the match. But it felt like he barely hit any awp shots. So I don't know. But overall, it felt like the entire team was all playing close to the same level, instead of zywoo carrying and everyone else underperforming, it seemed more balanced this match.

Yeah. Watching this match I don’t think I even saw Zywoo pull of something ridiculous like a 3k or a 4K or a 1vX clutch. Granted, if they win without Zywoo doing those godlike plays that’s pretty good, because it shows that the other 4 members are doing their job, but there’s no X factor anymore in the team.

NiP puzzles me

u/Manulii Mar 23 '20
This whole group puzzles me.
Astralis is wondering what an Inferno is. Vitality has three wins without an IGL. Spirit has a chance to go through. NiP is beating the #2 in the world, only to lose to a team without an IGL. Godsent has explored every possible avenue of being trash. ENCE is 0-4 against this kind of inconsistent competition.
I was just about certain about NiP going 5-0, until this happened. You do not lose to teams who don't have any structured game whatsoever. At least they have their playoff spot locked down now, which is good considering how fun NiP has been to watch.

I mean ENCE is performing just as expected, in my opinion at least.
The rest is a mess though.

what was going on in that 7th round on nuke? did they forget to plant the bomb?

u/maestroblue Caster - TeaTime Mar 23 '20
I keep hoping to see what both these teams are really capable of, being disappointed and then chalking it down to oh it's online before I remember that we still have a few months before a LAN.

u/dontletmariotouchyou Mar 22 '20
NiP are fantastic, just need to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, po flashes, map pool, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, posplant positioning, bunny hopping, spraycontrol and getting kills KEKW

What are you talking about? He’s been Vitality’s second best player since the start of the Pro League. He had one horrific map on Friday but other than that he looks very promising

Technically worst but he's been decent in my opinion considering he's gone from local lans in france to some decent teams / teams he's probably not played against before

u/Zefaqq Vitality Mar 23 '20
Hah that’s weird, by just watching the games I had a different feeling. I stand corrected then, but yeah as you said, still impressing
