Katowice tilted rant
FalleN | 
Brazil felipeviana94 
Usually I do not get tilted with CS but congratz Furia. You made me rage yesterday, losing to fucking BIG, with fucking Kit0 looking like Niko on ancient. Impossible to be Brazilian and happy these last few years. Also, for the second event in a row, I removed the best player from my team (first Niko now Ax1le) in the last second and kept the wrong choices from the start (First heroic and now Furia)...well, lesson learned, no more changing players. Less frustrating when you just stick with your first choice, even when they are shit. Now, this is the first big event of the year and so far only Faze and G2 impressed me. Heroic is looking really shaky and since Stavn goes missing against any decent team (not me saying, just read his Top 20 article), I do not see them going that far in such a stacked tournament. This makes vitality the favorites on group B if Spinx keep performing and I think he will. Since he is really really cheap, I'm dead set on picking him. I was going to wait for play in stage to be done before making the team but honestly, only cloud 9 matters and they will play Navi. The rest is crap and I will surely not pick anyone that is coming from play in. And since I decided to pick Niko and Spinx right from the start, prices became awkward. I could go for a more balanced team without zywoo but...If I believe vitality will win this group, why not pick the two carries and try to abuse padding right? Fitting Niko ,Spinx and Zywoo on the same team means 2 bronze players. Decided for karrigan and Hooxi since I trust those two teams to reach semi finals at least. Yeah yeah, G2 will face faze in the second round, don't really care since any of those teams can make their way back through the lower bracket. "But picking two IGLs is bad, the more they play the more negative rating they will get". Yes, that is why Niko, Zywoo and Spinx are there. Do I really think it is gonna work? Kinda, but choosing balanced is not working for me so far. Time to make some different picks. Also, this team looks really fun to cheer for, it will make katowice way more enjoyable for me. So, what did you choose for this event? Any regret so far? Let me know!

Looks like my team now with two IGLs and two carries. But they will probably face each other at some point. If you don't mind that, looks good enough

seems quite logical for me. Dupreeh has been picking up seeing blast, spinx is back so the vitality picks are pretty obvious. Vitality also have a fairly easy group so they're probably going to the semis at the very least. Bit is a bit of a tougher one for me since NaVi are really week right now with a difficult group, might slot him out later, lets see. Broky and NiKo are self explanatory, they'll probably meet each other in the finals like last time with G2 taking the W this time around (atleast thats what I feel). Another thing I feel is Vitality might win this Katowice, not too sure but I just have a really bad tingling that they'll be quite decent this time.

I have this team But I think I'm going to pick Ax1le (I'm not scared of current Navi against C9 tbh) instead of Broky and make some more changes depending on if the first round is Bo1 or Bo3... I believe in choko's revenge tour after missing the major.

As I mentioned, we would see some surprises during the play-in, although i will admit that expectations from the higher ranked teams were not met; FURIA and C9 were a bit disappointing and im not sure if there is more that they havent shown us yet. Dear Felipe, are you SURE you want to pick hooxi? personally, i really like the guy, but some players might be cheap, but is that advantage compensated by the NiKo's and ZywOo's in the Fantasy team? Ehhhh, Im not sure... Last year, Karrigan was probably one of the better low value picks, at least for me. I think Valve's top 3 ranking is mostly on point: github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo/blob/main/.. For Kato, i still have serious issues with believing in teams like G2 and Vita. Both won a respectable event last year, but i cant say with confidence that they have what it takes to take the trophy, especially with these competition of other teams. I want to go with VP here. Playing with another name obviously didnt make any difference last year, it just shows how much of a joke the embargos against Russia are, life just goes on whilst the war machines keeps pumping, for almost a year now. Anyways, VP didnt play officials after BLAST where they lost to G2 (basically to m0nesy) and Liquid. VP dumped norbert for Kairon, i still dont know why cuz they seem quite similar in stats. Apparantly, Jame seems to be a true believer in Kairon's potential (link) for a long time already, therefore i will put my faith in him too: hltv.org/news/33093/top-20-players-of-20.. Surely VP are able to make their opponents struggle and keep them guessing until the last 20 seconds on T-side, whilst being an impenetrable line of defense on CT-side. VP won Rio and ROtterdam last year, and i think the Russians will be victorious again in Kato. Like i said, Finn is a solid low value, high expectations pick for me. Havard has been solid for a while now, and FaZe still seems to be able to beat anyone. From the international lineups, FaZe just seems to have the best balance. To round out my lineup, i chose Casper (CadiaN); with the addition of Jabbi, he has been getting space to improve his rating, and it definitely shows, and thats something i didnt expect from him. I really love how HEROIC has developed into the Danish number one team recently. TLDR by Bruce Banner; Virtus PRO will be the REMAINING and UNDISPUTED Major winning CHAMPIONS of KATOWICE !! (yes, i know i picked 3 IGL's LMAO, but not just any, and there's still time to change the lineup tho^^)

Hey there Ansi! The gamble on outsiders is really interesting, I like it. But the faze players...in my experience picking faze, big events need big players. If you believe in faze (as you should), I would go one of the big 3. Rain is good but I feel like he is never worth the price tag in big events

Yeah, i dont want to go for the comfort picks and i genuinely feel like G2 is overhyped after their title. Choosing Spirit in the play-in wasnt a success, hopefully VP wont disappoint me here. also, I agree, sometimes you can stare yourself blind on these llineups, and i kinda needed a star rifler. Out: Casper, Havard In: Jakob, Robin the trend for Jabbi is real positive, it looks like he has found his sweet spot after joining HEROIC. i also like the fact that he appears ambitious and thrilled with winning titles. the choice for Robin doesnt need explanation, last year i thought he made some bad decisions and was appearing insecure, and hopefully he worked that out.
2023-02-03 01:34

Yeah now I think it is looking good. Ropz have such a high ceiling, he can be quite good for faze here. And jabbi for his price is very good, he is getting more and more comfortable and have a high ceiling as well. He is just lacking consistency for now but I'm sure that will change soon.

depends on bracket
2023-02-03 04:01
Decided to go for this, maybe ll change something after playins, but prob not spinx is obvious choice, did really well in blast groups, considering vitality have very easy bracket and he is cheap, everyone should pick him dupreeh, seems like a best bronze card to me, vitality ll have 2 easy matches into heroic and he actually overperformed last event, so who knows maybe he ll do it again cadian, heroic just like vitality have really easy bracket and i feel like in that previous match against vitality all stars lined up for vitality win, losing both pistols on their best map into stavn having worst game in his life into apex having best game in his life. Considering u can abuse awp role with cadian, just cant pass on him if i had to switch some1 i would probably 2 last players, since its just a gamble with group A, faze g2 is 50/50 for me and if i wanted pick niko with those 3 players my money would be so scuffed. The safest option probably would be hunter and broky since 1 of them is getting padding points, but just decided to gamble on faze since i am biased faze fan and its katowice buff for karrigan.

I like this team, you got some good points Even if faze loses to G2, they can make their way back to the lower bracket so it looks pretty safe
