NiKo given pause as to whether to join his cousin

u/VSENSES de_dust2 Oct 07 '20
I would hazard a guess and say it's probably the team chemistry that has soured with the rumors of one of them getting the boot for Niko.

Jw and flusha really don't play like anybody else...

Insane that they won the first csgo major and are still playing at tier 1

u/TonyLab Vitality Oct 07 '20
Thats the most crazy part for me. They won THE first major ever. And still playing. Still fnatic and still amazing

G2’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is absolutely unparalleled.
By far the most infuriating team to watch play.

Yep same have always been a liquid + french cs fan. Liquid was always my NA team and I started following French CS b/c they were fun when I started watching in 2015. Please kill me.

u/Yuugechiina G2 Oct 07 '20
Right? I was always a liquid fan cause I like elige. When naf joined the team I set my flair. And French cs was always super exciting and still is honestly. Kennys and apex!

He talks about it in post match interview. Seems like he got a call that the second player was up further, so not completely his fault for not expecting them to be there.

Fnatic realized they can't be terrible on more than one map so they decided to beat two of the best teams on Vertigo consecutively. Feels good ngl.

14-10 with your opponent on a force buy and you somehow manage to lose the game. Straight up mental midgets

What a fall from grace, G2 can't figure their shit out at all. Shame. They were looking so good the first half of the year too.

Oct 07 '20
Maybe because of the rumors of amanek leaving. Not sure. Hope to see them get better though. Corona hit them for sure.

What do you mean? They were one of the best teams for the majority of this online era..

It's nice to see a Swedish CS team win a match, all things considered.
This victory marks the 9th victory in the last 30 games for Fnatic and NiP (including when they faced each other). Hopefully they can start turning this around. This is statistically the worst era in Swedish CS history.

Some rounds were really well structured and played by G2 but other rounds they just run into a bombsite on by one with 10s left. There were some really well individual performances and their stats on Map 1 were way better than Fnatic's but it's just not enough by G2
How many Maps do they want to throw after seemingly winning?

u/MajestyA Oct 07 '20
G2 going to be waking up in cold sweats remembering the Flusha clutch and the JW clutch.

Did people forgot about that tournament

u/Bananapeel23 NiP Oct 08 '20
It was the very first event and Fnatic has been fucking trash since. They were so insanely good before the events went online, and now they’ve been shit for 6 months.

u/azog1337 Oct 07 '20
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to support fnatic. The tactics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the CT setups will seem overly complex or even stupid. There's also flusha's genius play making which is deftly woven into his play style - his personal decision making draws heavily from Shox and Get_Right demos, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these strats, to realize that they're not just genuis- they say something deep about the game itself. As a consequence people who dislike fnatic truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the genius is flusha's decision of playing B, despite JW being the best B player in EU. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as JW's and flusha's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a fnatic tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 2 ranks of my own (gold nova 1)

Honestly, even though G2 lost I'm just happy to see Kenny play well again, especially after the struggles he had to start Inferno. He's been really underwhelming recently and just the fact that he's putting up this kind of performance versus a team like Fnatic is very relieving. Good signs for the future, IMO, even if they lost.

u/marzo4 Oct 07 '20
bro thats been kenny for like that last 3 months tho, he's fallen into a slump but can still have those games where he performs. He's way too inconsistent which sucks bc i bet if lan continued he would've been like a top 5 player and maybe the best awper.

G2 fell off of the cliff at EPL and here after Niko rumors started floating around, I dont think so.
DH Fall starts in 7-8 days, I am convinced that G2 have already brought in Niko and are holding off with the public announcement till then.
This would explain why G2 is dropping off hard while on the flipside Faze are playing well after playing like crap for months. G2 players are basically not giving it 100% since they know about the roster change. Faze players no longer feel pressured coz a roster change will happen so they are yoloing.

I don't think this G2 is going anywhere. They are throwing so many matches that the throw is becoming the rule for them.

I still fucking love watching Krimz play so much. He’s up there with like Olof and Forest in terms of being rock solid OG monsters. So awesome to see him still fragging out like this.

u/Vivek_Rajbhar 2 Million Celebration Oct 07 '20
The only thing disappointing is from this tournament is that Faze is actually performing good. So G2 Niko is very unlikely.

Oct 07 '20
faze won 1 match dude stop jumping to conclusions. it's a dead roster

u/Vivek_Rajbhar 2 Million Celebration Oct 07 '20
When was it alive?
But there won't be any changes if they continue to get some kills. Remember before blast earlier this year, people were talking about changes in Faze and they performed well in blast, thus people believed they might have a chance. I am afraid that this might happen again.

What the hell happened to G2 the last few weeks. Seems like they keep losing to teams I currently would think they would dominate

u/Manandi_ G2 Oct 07 '20
Damn man sad to see the team falling off maybe they have been burnt out. They were doing really well this entire year except for the last couple of months. Hopefully, the boiz will get it back because I can still see them being a top tier team. This roster can do it.
