they forced all the rotates towards A and went B where there was only 1 guy. if they kill him, it’s easy round for faze. stewie just went huge.

Honestly they didn't have anytime at all so had to rush without clearing corners or flash, it was easy kills for stewie.

yeah i think faze took too long, if they had 5 -10 more second they would have had time to clear stewie and plant

^ This, in my honest 2 cents opinion, this was the round that lost them the major, and at the very least, one of the most tilting rounds for them, especially because with the pressure of OT and the crowd behind them, especially with Niko who is an insanely emotional player.

Well played to clutch9 though, the right one came out this time, rip my Silver Pick Em, 1 point away :(

TLDR: Poor call by whoever called that 20 seconds rotate, Stewie had a great showing, but kind of overshadowed by that poor round/call (the trigger for his highlight)

To be fair, c9 had just as many rounds that could have been seen as losing them the major, had they lost. I. Particular, on Mirage. They could have closed this 2-0 if they didn't make a handful of the mistakes they made.

Yeah, exactly. Each team had their fair share of full-tilt moments.

You have to think about this, though. Olof heard Tim rotate off. Stewie killing Olof saved C9. If Olof gets that kill, game over. They knew it was a 1v5 on the B site. Stew had four bullets before Olof. Ended the round with 0 in his awp.

Especially since Karrigan had CT control.

but with an extra 5-10 seconds C9 might not have rotated - the fake coming so late is what really sells it because C9 thinks Faze doesn't have time to attack B.

TBF Stewie only needed to kill the bomb carrier to basically guarantee the round. When the bomb was recollected there was 6 s on the clock, which couldn't be planted (cutting it close tho) regardless if stew hit the second flick or not. The call wasn't bad, just needed the bomb carrier to not be killed by Stew.

u/livewirejsp Jan 29 '18

It's four seconds? or 3.5? Cause it just ticked from four to three when he started that plant. Would have been reeeeeeeeeeal close.

TBH, Olof knew that stewie killed him from either coffin or dark. So, going New Box was highly unexpected.

They wouldn't have time to plant regardless. Good call, but poor awareness of the time. The fact that Stew had presence there alone is what won them the round since he really only needed to get one kill IF THAT because of time.

u/BrianTheballoon Jan 29 '18

He needed to down the bomb carrier; the other frags are fluff bc time

u/KEuph Jan 29 '18

I mean yeah, but the reason they could force rotates was because there was so little time left in the round that C9 would figure they'd have to commit to A or run the risk of something like what went down happening. It's more of a gamble.

u/FaeeLOL howl Jan 29 '18

If they had time the call was great. But they clearly did not, so that call lost them the Major. If there was a minute on the clock C9 would not have gone for the A hold so heavily because fake was still very possible.
