atleast lets hope for cph, they deserve it since they were so close last time

2022-05-14 23:10

yeah I also think that, some teams who are facing tomorrow is unreal, CPH and Spirit to qualify and Vita and Liquid to drop out

I hope Liquid shows their power in md3 again to win tomorrow

yeah same, will be hard though, and a reverse sweep won't happen again I think since there are too many good teams in this stage andLiquid aren't looking good

I just don't want those guys to leave the event at 0-3 record, same for Imperial. I also think a reverse sweep is unlikely now

yeah, it's so sad, I just hope these guys do well next events at least, Dalls is also LAN with crowd so if maybe they reach playoffs that'd be nice

2022-05-14 23:57

BO1s have always been a part of majors

2022-05-14 23:21

Ye sure, blame the system, dont enjoy the underdogs who played good or blame the supposedly good teams who picked exactly into the underdogs map(heroic). If getting a useless shit diamond coin is more important than seeing good cs or if u think a team that plays all those esl and blast events(cuz of buying the spot) is 3 tiers above any team who fights for its spot u are delusional, those tier2 teams are the ones who practice and fight the most to prove themselves cuz noone is ginna invite them to other big event and there are like max 2 slots for teams outside the partner teams

flukes = good cs? good point bro, enjoy watching one sided matches in the play-off then also if the difference between favourites and underdogs isnt that big, then it shouldnt be a problem to do bo3's right? we will all actually enjoy some good cs that way

idk why are u so mad about that? what if its not fluke? So you rather enjoy watching 3-4 same teams over and over again playing play offs and winning major every year like astralis? people didnt liked it when astralis won 3 majors in a row and now people dont like it when you can see variety of teams fighting for trophy.

How am I mad? The reason I don't like current situation is exact same u pointed out, heavy favourite rn is NaVi and with all decent teams dropping out it will be a very ez major for NaVi

2022-05-14 23:39

U can call spirit a fluke all u want, they played beautifully nuke 2 times, that doesnt change the fact they earned their spot as 2 0 or that heroic was stupid letting nuke go. Spirit played good cs on nuke, cphf playedgood cs vs ence also. Also all teams have to play bo1, if vitality chooses to play overpass against ni in a bo1 is their mistake for being overconfident on a not practiced map. And the last pointwould be, if the difference between teams would be thatbig they shouldnt have a problen winning a bo1 either, they are 99 tiers ahead duh

Bro salute to you

2022-05-14 23:29

+100000 I could add something, but why the fck. Drunk atm and you explained everything :) Props bro, hope you enjoy this major as much as I will <3

2022-05-15 03:04

I'm trying to process how it all came to this point

2022-05-14 23:09

3-0 for cph was rather expected, tho they might still lose to spirit

1-1 games are still bo1s* Elimination/Progress matches are bo3s

2022-05-14 23:37

The better teams just win their games and go 2-0 Thats what happens when "top" teams cant buy the good seeds and get the free hltv ranking points.

Well all the top teams buy partner spots and get free points for ranking = good seeds. Now is the major where you cant do that, so every team incl Faze, Navi, G2, Heroic, C9.. etc have to win games to get the good seeds. But the so called "tier 2" teams just win those games...

2022-05-14 23:16

what happens too when they "ego" play and think they won without entering the server, aka, picking nuke vs team spirit (points at heroic), for example 1 case. Every Major the same complaints. Every Major it happens. Low tier teams hungry af, vs top tier teams coming in from their partner leagues and formats with ESL and BLAST who play vs each other 200 times a year, think they can just run down on a Major and not even sweat. Hope to see team spirit make it.

+1 kinda sad when people complain about the BO1s as if every game was supposed to happen exactly how it statistically should

2022-05-14 23:24

agreed but you still have to account for bo1 same matchups in bo3s wouldn't be so easy for these tier2 teams

Why would it not? Flames beat NIP in katowice and RMR in bo3 They beat Heroic in Bo3 last major They beat Ence in bo3 in online cup So its not like they cant play more than 1 map

its not just cph we talking about

Spirit won bo3 in both RMR and Challenger stages. We cant just give Faze and Navi spots and seeds because we like them. If they dont win their games, they just dont deserve the seeds like Flames or Spirit. I am a big Heroic fan, but when Spirit played better and won the game. We dont give the 2-0 game to Heroic because we think they are better in bo3 and therefore they just get that seed/spot.

2022-05-14 23:25

let's be honest cph will choke badly in playoffs.

Flames got this one i think 3-0 for them, Imperial going to airport tomorrow

I feel like Imperial might beat BNE, it was close last time they faced each other, still cheering for the eagles tho :)

2022-05-14 23:25

Why are you writing omagelul for Spirit vs CPH? Both teams won both their games and faced strong opponents, one of them totally deserve champions at least

2022-05-14 23:30

So many people blaming the BO1s for today's outcomes. What's the excuse for this? hltv.org/events/6137/esl-pro-league-seas.. Seems we are going in the same direction and EPL was all BO3. Truth is the favorites fucked up and the underdogs performed, plain and simple.

2022-05-14 23:34

CPH, Spirit or Ence are doing really good cs, I'm tired to see the same teams on the top, if smaller teams can put up a fight, specially with nice cs it's good for the scene
