Fnatic and Envy, the 2 teams that have been considered the best for while now. "Who cares" inb4 "Envy sucks now"

Gotta admit that they're not top 3 right now.

Yup. Just saying to avoid some local cancer.

So what you say is Envy "who is considered best" you agree is not top 3. Your logics is flawless...

"they're not top 3 right now." "right now." Overall I think they deserve a place on the top 3 teams. Every one has times when they are down. Once again; "right now."

2015-05-06 00:48

fnatic ez

9th

nice

nV and Titan always in the same group :(

I thought the same haha

yeah why not swap envy & fnatic. always these domestic games between titan & envy and titan usually win it and then get smashed by everyone after

2015-05-06 03:28

Nice semmler anders finally, so tired of sadokist, ddk and black ddk tbh:/ no hate

2015-05-06 00:34

black ddk is much better than the others tbh, very comfortable in his role.

2015-05-06 11:24

Yeah, actually i take it back. I like black ddk

2015-05-06 11:33

well he has a lot of hours in csgo unlike the others.So he has some passion for the game at least.

2015-05-06 12:33

When!?!!

2015-05-06 00:35

IM so blind i didnt read:D was searching for tha numbers...

fnatic replacing nip as the swedish team that always gets the easiest group

14 replies

Every group is easy for Fnatic, unless TSM is in it.

2015-05-06 00:36

or titan, too bad titans ass always gets placed in nv group.

2015-05-06 01:34

Yeah, that's true. Ex6 reads Pronax like a fucking book. Hell, if he did as well against everyone else, Titan could contend for being #1.

2015-05-06 02:27

Unless they get their shit together on CT. In their 2nd game against fnatic on ESEA they literally got 3 rounds in total as CT.

2015-05-06 04:33

The problem is not ex6 strats, its that their team lacks the firepower to hold back pushes from skill stacked teams like Nv, fnatic, tsm. Its why they rely on such complicated strats and good reads from ex6 on t side. Unless someone like KennyS starts carrying on ct side they wont get that many rounds

2015-05-06 04:56

Dignitas just beat Titan 16-8 yesterday and Hellraisers/flipside are fairly even. Given NVs form lately, group1 is the harder group.

2015-05-06 00:45

titan didnt play since esea lan, ex6 had 2 hours in steam b4 that dig game so please :)

2015-05-06 00:51

excuses excuses excuses ...

2015-05-06 01:05

0/5 b8, gna try again m8?

2015-05-06 02:49

2015-05-06 11:46

Looks like I got myself a fanboy!

2015-05-06 17:52

fanboy hyyyyype woo :D

2015-05-06 18:23

Fnatic is the number 1 seed team for this year.

2015-05-06 11:43

nip,tsm,vp,navi?

Yes, they are teams!

2015-05-06 00:37

Go Pingun!

I bet my nickname that EnvyUs and Titan will fail this event.

envy will fail, titan finalists. Called it first

Are you serious ? lel Fnatic - Dignitas Final man

2015-05-06 00:40

I am serious :)

2015-05-06 00:42

French teams are shit as fuck atm..

2015-05-06 00:43

If you think titan will fail cause they lost to Dig.. they had 10 hours in past 2 weeks, they are back in training atm ;) Envy always fail in French events, Titan pulls it together for some time.

2015-05-06 12:45

You'll see that i'm right

2015-05-10 07:29

2015-05-06 06:14

Nice choice on the casting/analyst talent. Im happy DH atleast care for what the viewers want. And also, GL Immunity hope you make it through the quals, need to see more of BEASTILO!

Bring cadiaN, ddk and black ddk and that will be the best casters + analysts ever assembled.

2015-05-06 00:39

cadian? pls.

2015-05-06 11:05

inb4 some byoc-heroes beat Titan and HR and get through the groups :D

Well HR and Titan are both teams that can beat the best but lose to the worst, so you never know.

Need more ldlc .. Ldlc red yellow orange

thank god no old fart scoots

why all brit casters are so shitty we must mute them?

ez money4fnatic

2015-05-06 00:44

inb4 envy out in groups

A: 1. fnatic 2. dignitas 3. Flipsid3 4. BYOC qualifier #2 B: 1. EnVyUs 2. HellRaisers 3. BYOC qualifier #1 4. Titan

2015-05-06 01:13

+100000

swedish bias obviously

2015-05-06 01:36

Last weekend - face it finals.

2015-05-06 04:02

If titan was seeded as a tier 1 team this would never happen. Both fnatic and Nip are in the tier 1 seed group.

-flipsid3 +EZPZ or CPLAY it will be better

How much?
