If I was an Envy fan I really wouldn't be laughing at C9 or any team in the top 15 really. NRG can probably beat Envy right now.

2018-04-17 16:45

It's time for SS to prove themselves

2018-04-16 22:05

They’re now in nearly every tier 1 lan tourney up until Cologne so if they can get a good run or two then they’ll definitely move up the rankings

2018-04-17 10:36

He isn't going anywhere LUL

2018-04-17 11:06

Yeah, ik. But not having him for a couple of tournaments is saddening. I'd take Henry-Sadokist over Moses-Anders all day long.

2018-04-17 13:48

2018-04-17 13:49

Though Anders is the best caster overall, and him with Semmler the best duo.

Splendid!

Lol

faze :blessrng:

FaZe will either lose to VP or lose in the final as usual.

2018-04-17 00:05

thats just because mouz will win in the final as usual

easy tournament for SK Gaming

2018-04-16 21:12

easy for VP oh wait?

2018-04-16 21:13

xddd

2018-04-16 21:16

2018-04-16 21:21

These groups look really good. Pretty even generally and should be some awesome games

2018-04-16 21:23

2018-04-16 21:58

No way man, we will see

2018-04-16 21:59

The result was already bought, and I just receveid from a reliable source the winners of each match: 1 - FaZe 2 - Mousesports 3 - Cloud9 4 - SK 5 - Fnatic 6 - Liquid 7 - Na'vi 8 - Astralis My source is reliable, you can print it if you want.

2018-04-16 21:34

"If you knew what had happened, you would be angry."

i want to see this

2018-04-17 00:02

no cloud and sk at top4

2018-04-17 03:01

Yes very reliable LUL, just 2 days in and already wrong with at least 2 of those.

2018-04-20 03:52

Can we talk about how C9 has gotten the hardest group in every tournament they have been to this year wtf is this.

I'd say sk, mouz and nip is a harder group. It's not like g2/envyus has been good lately

2018-04-16 22:15

SK hasnt really had a good showing at all since stew joined and NiP really isnt going to do much, G2 has always underperformed online but have done ok in lan matches and still look better then sk online. Envyus are bots but not as bot as Valiance. I also still think FaZe is better then Mous they just choke hard af in semis and finals.

you right expect this tournament frenchs are done man c9 should win them easily in normal condition

2018-04-16 22:16

+1 Group B is the hardest

2018-04-16 22:55

*against

2018-04-16 22:56

Honestly with the way C9 is playing online they should take G2 and Envy out pretty easily. That gets them out of the group stage at least. The only problem is they are BO1 but that works both ways especially with the Faze game.

2018-04-17 16:48

Elimination matches b01 Nice joke

2018-04-16 22:00

Wtffff same feelings

+1!!!

2018-04-17 08:40

Bo1 elimination matches... That some tournaments still use this as a format in 2018 is a Fucking joke. DH should be ashamed of themselves

2018-04-16 22:13

Yeah...Really bad...

yeah like cuz if sk/mouz/nip get 2 bad maps they are out like yyyyyyy

2018-04-16 23:24

anyway all the teams are interresting to watch. Of course the 1st fight is to avoided to get eliminated after loosing 2 BO1. And the next stage is to qualify in BO3. I kinda find this format interresting, all the teams can go to quaters anyway. Some have to pack

2018-04-17 00:28

but a underdog can definitely upset in the elimination match and knock the "favorite " out

2018-04-17 00:54

Yes that is a fucking joke!!!

Good luck SS and S1mple.

2018-04-16 22:21

You can see that poster is a FaZe fanboy

2018-04-16 22:23

ez for vaco

2018-04-16 22:33

Curious to see SK with stewie. GL to all teams

2018-04-16 22:38

I'm getting a feeling that NiP will be knocked out by Valiance in Elimination "BO1". Joke of a tournament!

2018-04-16 22:58

NiP can upset in that match..

Good Luck NAVI !!!

2018-04-16 23:03

Valiance took heroics spot... fucking ranbob landodgers

2018-04-16 23:09

Run SKG

2018-04-16 23:20

G2 envy same group, both eliminated, lawl..

2018-04-16 23:40

Wow, I can’t believe you are capable to see the future! Honestly, I am even impressed

2018-04-17 03:19

Cloud9 faze Mouz NiP Fnatic NaVi Liquid SS Mouz to lose in playoffs 0-2 to NaVi, then replace styko with s1mple after event and become top 1.

2018-04-16 23:48

g2 faze i guess

2018-04-17 03:13

also joining mouz is bad idea ! GODniko+4bois=bad team same with GODs1mple (probably)

cloud9+S1MPLE would be nice :3

2018-04-17 01:52

Group A seems like very tough group

2018-04-17 02:32

I really think NiP is gonna win this, with the new roster, NiP's been doing really good especially Dennis and REZ #GONINJAS Sadokist is gone :o It's gonna be a bit boring :(

2018-04-17 02:33

I bet it won’t, Vince is such a great replacement for the great caster in the person of Sadokist Honestly, Vince is a quality caster. He’s got a deep voice, a precise and consistent casting, and boy he gives hype.

2018-04-17 03:24

Okay :/ maybe it's just I've never heard him cast b4, thx for the info!

2018-04-17 12:56

i hope so my friend

2018-04-17 14:14

Always G2 vs C9 PepeHands

2018-04-17 03:08

they were born to be a rival.

Bleh <3

2018-04-17 06:52

Mouz and Astralis are the favorites to me. SS, Liquid, NIP have low expectations and seem to be the dark horses. Expect nothing of Valiance, Renegades, Tyloo, Envy, Gambit. SK, G2, Faze, Fnatic, Navi, and C9 are expected to do well but will undoubtedly disappoint.

2018-04-17 07:37

Bro, Liquid has sky high expectations right now. People expect them to be the next Mouz type of team.

2018-04-17 16:49

oh wow, sk doesnt have to play valiance. 0-o

2018-04-17 07:43

lol, seriously, dreamhack MASTERS has only 100k for winner? DH Masters Las Vegas had 200k for winner

2018-04-17 08:15

The final's gonna have either of these 4 teams: FaZe mouz Liquid (according to TACO) fnatic

C9 > G2 Astralis > SS Otherwise I agree.

2018-04-17 16:50

Hype

2018-04-17 10:49

Whoa Group A and B all top teams... Faze, SK, C9, Mouse... Also G2 and nV in same group. Interesting... btw.. where is Semmler?

2018-04-17 10:53

This tournament could be the decider for next weeks number 1 on the ranking!

2018-04-17 11:07

Group A: Faze/G2/C9/ENVY Group B: SK/NIP/MOUSE/VAL Group C: FNATIC/NAVI/RENE/TYLOO Group D: ATRALIS/SS/LIQUID/GAMBIT group d is fucking hard to predict, any of liquid/astralis/ss could win or place third

2018-04-17 11:45

Still bo1 for elimination games. Still bad.

2018-04-17 12:00

ninjas ! ninjas ! ninjas

group A is such bullshit lol

2018-04-17 14:25

lets hope NiP make it out of their quite hard group (maybe not that hard if SK suck)

2018-04-17 14:45

Group A:Faze & Envyus Group B:NiP & Mouz Group C:Fnatic & Tyloo Group D:Astralis & Space Soldiers

2018-04-17 15:11

Tyloo over Navi ? Really ??? :x

2018-04-17 15:54

Yes Tyloo beat navi 2-0 at decider.

2018-04-17 15:58

Nice prediction!

2018-04-18 21:26

This tournament would kind of suck if that's who came out of each group. You need at least one NA team to keep everyone interested. I'm going to say C9 makes it past Envy and G2. Honestly Liquid should make it out of theirs as well. Gambit is an easy win and SS should be a fairly easy win as well.

2018-04-17 16:52

This tournament would kind of suck if that's not who came out of each group. You need no NA team to keep everyone interested. I'm going to say C9 cant make it past Envy and G2. Honestly Liquid should never make it out of theirs as well. Gambit is not an easy win and SS shouldnt be a fairly easy win as well.

2018-04-17 17:35

Or we could just lose NA eyeballs as CSGO's player base is dropping due to Valve's shitty biz practices. You want as many people interested in this tournament as possible. Hopefully the teams with big fan bases make it through.

2018-04-17 17:41

I know many NA fans who support European teams and SA teams. Just because you're a NA team fanboy does not mean all north americans should be one as well and threaten to boycott a tournament because there are no NA team making playoff.

No one is going to boycott the tournament, lol. It's just a fact that teams draw eyes from their region. Don't be stupid. Obviously there is cross-country fandom. I've always liked VP like everyone else for example. If C9 and Liquid go out in groups though I'm probably not watching anything until the final though.

2018-04-17 17:50

If either c9 or liquid make the playoff, I am probably not gonna watch the tournament at all.

2018-04-17 17:53

So? Your loss. They're both exciting teams and each have one of the best players in the world playing for them. One has two arguably.

2018-04-17 17:56

#mouzgehts! Roadto#1! WE BACK BOYSCH

I'm so looking forward to this event, i just have a feeling this is going to be epic.... i predict at least one of the outsiders to be in semi's and we will wittness a total choke of a couple of top teams. unfortunately i have a very bad feeling about my homeboys FaZe, if they succeed all's good, if they fail it will be bloody in july, when rosters will change. anyway i WILL stick to the streamings.
