Biggest CS Event of the Year Edition

>Half-Life Television
https://www.hltv.org/

first for GOATsuke

Second for sjokz <3

second for kyousuke will be the biggest disappointment of 2025

and the fissure dacha 3 winner is...

>>1847270
Wasn't Astralis meant to be sold? Did HooXi single-handedly safe the org with the PGL prize money?

>advertising gambling
Hope OP gets got

was smithzz that bad?

https://youtu.be/wJxtwWf9pVE

>>1847296
cs2 is only alive because of gamblers though

>>1847298
he was a legend of the female cs

>>1847296
Actually I'm only advertising others advertising gambling

>>1847296
>gambling is... le evil!

It still boggles the mind that Liquid made 0 (zero) changes

jokasteve

>>1847362
just give them time, they should have won against mouz

>>1847260 (OP)
Based OP

>>1847377
Damn straight. You just gotta keep grinding until you hit that gold.

>profitable and fun
>but gambling is... LE BAD! because... well, it just is, OK?!

>>1847408
Those people are just poors hating because they see us stacking racks on racks.

>>1847413
what would compel him to do this

>>1847418
i literally explained it to you >>1847412

has a team ever gotten better after adding a pole

>>1847408
>>1847417
Can you fags please fuck off to somewhere else as your addiction is not esport related.

>>1847362
naf is gonna wake up this season and ultimate will hit some shots
trust the process
#It'sLiquid

>>1847418
he's transitioning

>>1847362
Either they really believe in the potential of the squad, their pockets aren't very deep, or few players want to join TL.

>>1847418
he got sent back to the cuckshed by navi management
figuratively speaking

>>1847435
It's not an addiction, it's a passion.

>>1847441
probably a combination of 1 and 3
i think they believe it's just a slump for n0f but they also went fishing and no one good enough bit

>>1847441
>their pockets aren't very deep
Liquid did lose Honda as a sponsor not so long ago which probably paid a lot of money but they also have the saudi money so they shouldn't be broke.

>>1847441
My only guess is they were gonna swap NAF and JKS but the FQ money was more tempting.

>>1847426
BASED

>>1847467
We need to go back.

>>1847467
Hi thorin, what's up?

>>1847459
>the FQ money was more tempting
it's also not really a winning situation for jks if he rejoins for naf
liquid are currently declining, if that continues it looks bad
if they stay at rank ~20 it looks bad
if they improve, it looks good, but he has siuhy igl, which is bad

>>1847467
White people meal be like:

>>1847505
you have a problem those biscuits?

>heroic sell tn1r and gr1ks as a package deal this time next year when their stocks have peaked
>buy hallzerk and a proven mail09
>a scandinavian era in cs again

>>1847522
I miss heroic being danish. Wouldn't mind them going full scandi instead

>>1847522
But Randy 'hallzerk' Smith is a proud red blooded american?

>>1847566
honorary scandi

>>1847566
he's from north dakota

would bug clan be good if they got rid of tabsen and got s1n?

>>1847619
they already gave up on him

>>1847619
Almost certainly

Ermmmmmm... soooooooo... This Happened...

>>1847734
Looks like shit desu

lol

>>1847775
poorfag vanilla cope

>>1847784
I own skins. However Deagle skins are hideous across the board. The only exception in the Heat Treated.

i can never accept mr12. valorant did it because they have made a lot of compromises to their balancing and map design. cs2 has made no compromises. we're just getting a worse experience compared to mr15.

i give up on solo queueing
13 matches ago i was like 23k and since then i didnt get a single team that wasnt completely utterly inferior to the enemy players

>>1847794
>being stuck with dogshit teams or matches that are nooby for both sides for even longer
fuck no, mr12 is worse for professional tournament fags but better for the general playerbase

>>1847783
Better hope he plays well otherwise he'll have a bunch of rabid turks coming after him

>>1847800
literally no one would cry if pro was still mr15 and short matches were still available

>>1847791
>I own skins.
Those weekly drop 0.03 cent garbage doesn't count DOE

If I were a prospective T1 player, why would I join Liquid? Just look at their history, probably the worst management in esports history.

>>1847925
and they disbanded
time for liquid to disband

>>1847927
Of course it is a good flex. We're just making fun of NiKo's 0 majors.

>>1847919
>GAY ASS OP
unc crashing out again bros clapped fr on skibidi

ROSTERMANIA???

>still grinding even after he got his job back
yeah, I'm getting excited

also, anon is right, This OP is gay as fuck

>>1848024
nigger he is supposed to play fucking cs since its his job
god asians would've completely raped this game if they had any interest in it

>>1848025
a lot of pros don't spend time solo grinding faceit

>>1847919
>>1848024
Make a real one, on no other board do people get punished for ignoring the threads of a retarded troll just because they made it the same nanosecond image limit is reached

stop having autism you fucking retards who cares about the OP image? do you constantly look at it?

>>1848031
it'll get deleted immediately
don't think you'll get punished tho

>>1848034
Normal people who don't spend every waking moment on 4chan will look at the catalog and think what the fuck is this disgusting eceleb worship gambling advertisement then maybe not bother clicking onto the thread

>>1848034
I didn't realize what was in the OP image until now, and i agree with whoever complained about it, wtf is this shit? This thread is about competitive CS and the game, that's literally a fucking ad.

>>1848043
so you want constant newfags? think of it as a filter
that event is probably going to have the same viewers as the major grand finals kek cs2 is such a shit game

>>1848043
>will look at the catalog
This is /vm/... Nobody comes here

>>1848048
Yeah I'd rather people interested in CS than "ironic" eceleb and gambling shit

>>1848048
If they use this site and like counter strike they should want to enter thread about it, yes

>>1848050
yeah I only learned magog is here from /v/

>>1848053
I hate to break it to you but skins and betting are what finance the game and esports. And the ecelebs bring the majority of the viewership.

>>1848059
Hate to break it to you. I don't care, you can fuck off with your shitty advertisements and never post here again.

>>1848059
So go watch the ecelebs? Why do you constantly shill your gay ass streamers here on the time? Autistic fuck. No one here wants to see that shit and you come off as that one annoying kid in school who keeps making jokes that no one laughs at.

>>1848065
>>1848063
why? because it's funny watching you autists sperg about it everytime
imagine if you learned to just not reply to things you hate instead of going on a sperg rage about something easily ignorable

>>1848048
>so you want constant newfags?
if you complain about newfags on a general then you probably haven't used this site for long, newfags are an important part of keep generals alive and fresh

when a general is small and stale in terms of userbase it very often turns into a spam circlejerk of a couple of attention whores, blogposters etc. and it slowly repels other users from the thread, i've seen this on almost every board

>>1848059
just fuck off and let us enjoy the competitive part of the game here

>>1848070
I can discuss any aspect of the game and esport here and there is nothing you can do about it unc.

>>1848067
There we go, you try to play it off as you just baiting the moment you get push back. Like I said your "ironic" shilling can fuck off.

>>1848059
You're a retard, no one cares whether it finances the game, we're not obliged to advertise it on here. They're sitting at a measly 24k viewers combined while doing this thing by the way, that's like half or a third of what s1mple gets when trolling faceit games while drunk, not to mention real tournaments pulling 50 times that. Someone make a real thread fuck this guy and his autistic obsession over ecelebs.

>>1847800
>>stuck
you're not forced to stay in the game

>>1848073
why can't you uncs understand how funny it is watching you rage this hard about a fucking OP image? do you really not see how ridiculous you are
and you are all lazy faggots screaming SOMEONE MAKE A NEW THREAD...BUT NOT ME! I CAN'T MAKE A NEW ONE! SOMEONE MAKE IT FOR ME!

>>1848074
>advertise
You say that like I get payed or even have any interest in this stream. I just think it's hilarious that 4 guys are blowing a quarter million dollars on cases.

>>1848067
You'll make 100 bait posts and every thread in hopes of getting an angry reply, is your existence enjoyable?

>>1848076
>I'm totes heckin baiting
>seethes endlessly his advertising is called what it is

>>1848083
You're replying to the wrong anon btw.

>>1848076
because you're the same faggots bringing e-celeb worship, skinfaggotry and s1mple vs zywoo spamming here

>>1848076
Whereas you're devoting your life to making every single one and throwing a tantrum and reporting it when someone makes it before you spam images in the last spurt to hit 300, pathetic loser.

>>1848083
>capslock = seethe
unc..
>>1848080
but I don't make 100 bait posts, OP image is also funny since it's so absurd that 4 retards opening cases is a big cs2 event

>>1848085
>get BTFO so hard he has to pretend to be someone else

>>1848079
>payed

>>1848089
Nah unc you trippin'

>>1848096
uncs will see this post and be like STOP SHILLING YOUR FUCKING STREAMERS YOU RETARDED ZOOMER !!! SOMEONE MAKE A NEW THREAD RIGHT NOW WITHOUT THIS SINGULAR POSTER

>>1848088
You are seething yes hence why you're trying to do the "unc" bit to come off as nonchalant.

>>1848101
Okay you got me. I am seething so fucking hard right now. I am overflowing with uncontrollable anger as I have been called out as a shill.

>>1848107
You make it pretty obvious you are yeah.

>>1848108
No you fucking retard. I am incredibly amused by how upset you people get over a very obvious joke OP. I'll add more links to the OP next time to get you even more riled up.

on every uncs soul from this thread we're tuning into the biggest cs2 event of the year tomorrow friday

>>1848111
you sound mad

>>1848111
Definitely not mad.

>>1848114
Ma drilla

>obvious joke
Somebody is running damage control

>>1848075
>lose 1000 points and have to worry about downgrading your gameplay quality if it happens too often AND you need to double ruin it for anyone remotely engaged in the game
sounds like a terrible idea

i post useless pics to hit the limit only because i know how mad that one anon gets about it for some reason, it's just a fucking thread why do you care so much lol

>>1848076
>>1848111
>I don't really care, I'm not mad, I just think it's funny how
no
you're making it about yourself. like 20+ different people made threads the same way forever, you changed it and get in protracted arguments every thread begging for attention. at one point you were even spamming images to rush to make new threads
it's like if I put a paw patrol meme in every thread and went "isn't it funny how you guys freak out about this and call me retarded? I'm gonna put 5 more in the next one!"
and stop pretending you're providing an invaluable public service and people should be thanking you. if you disappeared tomorrow, someone else would somehow manage to fill out the captcha and click post

haven't been itt since austin and the first thing i see is people still seething at images being posted on an image board, don't even make the threads either just reply with frogs when people complain about people posting pics because they're retarded and don't know to just ignore the retards and just talk about the cs

>>1848144
Maybe you shouldn't be advertising here if you don't want to be called out.

>>1848144
>I post random frogs
>but ignore the retards and just talk about the cs
no, I think I'd rather bully them until they kill themselves actually

>>1848149

Correct it

>>1848506
>with him navi won a major after 5 years, without him in less than 1
oh shit
no but honestly why does he shake so much after shooting with the awp?

riddle me this /magog/
why the fuck didn't navi took back s1mple in the main roster with jL benched? surely having such a good player at disposition but preferring to bench him is weird right? if they don't want him in the main roster, why don't they sell him? top orgs don't want to buy him?

>>1848756
because he's not that good anymore and b1ad3 hates him and for some reason b1ad3 seems to have more power than s1mple

Just remembering GO Inferno and Overpass brings tears to me eyes.

>>1848763
Tears of joy that is. Because I don't have to watch or play that shit anymore.

Yeah, I do wonder why nobody wants him back on the roster

>>1848763
inferno wasn't that much better desu
still really miss overpass
whoever from volvo is currently lurking:
>switch out inferno for overpass
>switch out mirage for cache
also, dust2 has already gotten old again.

>>1848776
>>1848778
incels needn't reply
>>1848788
I just really hate the overhanging arches in the CS2 version. If they opened everything up like in GO I'd like it much better. CS2 Overpass also just doesn't hit the same as the GO version. IDK what is it about these 2 maps they play so differently now, whereas Mirage, D2, Ancient, Anubis, Nuke are pretty much the same.

There's no way Valve remove the 2 most popular maps in the pool simultaneously. I don't even think they're ever going to remove Mirage, probably update it one day randomly. -Overpass +D2 was probably one of the worst map pool changes ever.

it would be real funny if after all this time they pay m80 to bring him back
just like xkacpersky and nip

>>1849076
even if they do kick tabsen, tf would you want to go back and grind up from open quals with a non-german team nip-style? he's been on m80 for ages now with just as many jerms as he'd have

his humor is just normie tier, to be funny you have to give up you pride and act a bit shameless/autistic OR have a bit of fanbase already builtup
dima, arrow, fl0m are just too full of themselves to ever stoop as low as ohne

>>1849189
niko will never ever (in his entire life) win a single major

>>1849197
neither will malbs

>>1849187
don't forget he won 2 S-tier tournaments, he already did better than pretty much any NA player since covid except Twistzz

WW@ DRILLAS?

>>1849198
the difference is malbs has never been expected to, other than by delusional n0k0 fans

>>1849211

Colonge roster lock is about to end, they have to announce it now to farm engagement and fnatic just release MATYS

I miss when CS was about gameplay not skins. Fuck the casuals I hate you all skinchasing faggots.

>>1849285
It's not just me btw. Come join us:

Locking it in with the TO and officially announcing it are 2 different things. Cologne roster lock was on the 9th iirc.

>>1849292
Poorfag cope Holy kwab!!!!!

>>1849292

Guess what you still are

>>1849292
shit is literally cancer
would trade skins, gambling, money laundering, fixing away out of the sport and have it back in esea hotel lans in a heartbeat

>>1849293
yeah just checked, its on 9th
well doesnt matter anyway its obvious as day hes going to G2 since NiP signed xKacpersky

>>1849289
nta but the roster lock happened on the 9th lol
he's already in but they're edging the announcement for whatever reason

>>1849283
it's a different one of you, he posts a certain way

>>1849299
>they're edging the announcement for whatever reason
They can't do it tonight if they want engagement. We're all watching the biggest event of the year rn.

>>1849292
imagine actually playing cs lmao

ARGHHHHHHHHHH JUST FUCKING OPEN THEM ALREADY!!!!!

>>1849300
idk whoever the fuck that guys is but im just dying for an event to start

FISSURE is going to be so fucking good, MIBR with nicks, GL with kursy, Wildcard with Peeping, Astralis is back with HooXi, VP with perfecto, all 3 chinese teams
fuckkkkk i hate playerbreaks

>>1849304
see this is why you arent a popular streamer
they need to drag this out as long as they can

>>1849305
They're talking about me.

>>1849306
>see this is why you arent a popular streamer
I would rather troon out and suck on a bbc than be a streamer

>>1849276
i guess for some it's the only way of getting attention. jannies not doing their job on this board isn't helping either.
best you can do is ignore and/or report posts

>>1849307

>>1849312
>LMAO at that pic
I feel you. You missed the thread where I used it as the OP image and all the uncs spazzed out, reported the thread and got it deleted lmao.

>>1849315
No it was Cxzi's Steam pfp and I saved it from there.

>>1849316
one guy got mad at the pic
the rest of us just hate you for who you are

society if valveniggers never put lootboxes in tf2

>>1849314
unironically peeping is a banger move that no one seems to get
he was the best player on the old ELEVATE ( timbermen ). not even kidding hes actually got the potential to be better than Lake and JBa for me
>>1849313
Tyloo is kino and Trash for RA is actually cooking. i will be watching all of them

>>1849305
it blows not having events but even when they come back it feels like the scene's still in a holding pattern. fissure will be good but no one really built a team to beat vitality at cologne and shit
it's a bunch of inexperienced hopefuls (zweih, makazze, kyousuke) and t2 gambles

uncs talking about esports while they didnt discuss it at all during the past 10 hours kekekek

>>1849318
yeah, im thinking im a CoL fan now

>>1849321
wasn't peeping the dude they sexually abused before they'd let him on the team

>>1849321
Tyloo is shit against non-chink teams, and everyone sucking off that one player for acting like a dumb retard is annoying as hell
RA might be OK. We'll have to wait and see

>>1849324
>no one really built a team to beat vitality at cologne and shit. it's a bunch of inexperienced hopefuls (zweih, makazze, kyousuke) and t2 gambles

and all of them are cracked. zweih in particular is the best move among them because he played with Nemiga and took them to stage 3 of the major lol. he isn't as much of a rookie as you suspect

but IMO Spirit, NaVi, Falcons and MOUZ all have the rosters to beat vitality, especially with this break. Teams literally rushed around to upgrade their firepower and we're going to see if its going to stick, which is super kino. hate vitality for being an NPC team but their superiority is arguably changing CS right now

damn this is sad

>>1849320
it's all part of a large online gambling epidemic worldwide, not just esports
it's really fucked up

GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD

ALTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GOLD GOLD GOLD

>>1849321
i don't think anyone who doesn't stan na tier 2 actually cares about peeping but hey, na needs more tier 1 quality players BADLY so let's hope he is one

>>1849328
that was nbgee, his friend i think
>>1849332
Tyloo were barely weeks into the major run with Mercury as their IGL, and he always drops stinkers because he's too much in his head to hit shots. Tyloo for me is right now in a process of cooking or stinking. If mercury as an IGL works, this team can get so much better but westmelon is just the best chinese IGL and LV as a whole play much smarter CS

you just know valve buffed their gold luck for this stream

>>1849335
>Spirit, NaVi, Falcons and MOUZ
I'll give zweih and kyouuske the benefit of the doubt and some time but navi have looked like complete dogshit for months, with jl actually being their best player vs good teams, and mouz changed nothing and routinely gets raped by vitality

>>1849344
which is super sad
NACS was just too much sovl and we lost that shit, fucking kill everyone at ESL, especially that bald fraud for killing NA regional pro league

>>1849349
Spirit isn't even a top 20 team without donk. makazze goes unnoticed but this ugly subhuman motherfucker is cracked. He can be the x-factor that Na'Vi needs.

And remember there are a lot of new teams with new strats and compositions coming into Colonge. Vitality will definitely have a competition

>>1849357
makazze has the same 1 man t side thing going on so I'm hopeful, but navi have looked completely disjointed
I honestly thought b1t was throwing to lower his buyout price for a good chunk of this year

>>1849362
whoa, shocker

>>1849346
>Tyloo for me is right now in a process of cooking or stinking
doesn't matter how well they play. I can't get over the retard
I guess it's the same feeling that makes people hate zywoo or s1mple - because everyone is sucking them off (except they're being celebrated for being good. The chink just acts like a dumb retard)
I'll stick to LV for my covid exposure

>>1849346
oh yeah they raped that nigga for SURE

>>1849364
well you do you, but despite his personality jee is a pretty decent AWP

>>1849366
he was also the guy who stole SSDs at Dallas and shit in a urinal at fragadelphia

https://x.com/BrianCS_/status/1798447251116704089

bro was wild

>>1849366
too skinny
otherwise the most american looking team I've ever seen

>>1849357
i'm calling it now zweih will be exposed as very overrated, he's a fucking tilter by nature and egoist already talking shit about other players with 0 accomplishments. Vitality made a joke out of him at the Major, and now he's in a team aiming for top 1 replacing magixx in a selfless role and who had calm demeanor and vibes. in Shanghai RMR he was also mediocre.

>>1849373
well that's a hot take but he's pretty seasoned, he can hold his own and he proved that on Nemiga this major. IMO spirit right now has the roster to beat Vitality IFFF the skinny lanklet sh1tro STOPS AWPING LIKE A BAITER. I hate watching this cunt awp with all my fiber and I'm a Jame enjoyer

>>1849373
>vibes
it'll be interesting to see if spirit can function without someone keeping up the mood for those despondent sad players

damn this is kinda boring i might stop watching just wait for highlights

>>1849376
>IMO spirit right now has the roster to beat Vitality
BAHAHAHAHA

>>1849378
Chopper's there so im not that worried but this team right now has the most emo mfs every, literal crackers

donk, zont1x and now zweih.

>>1849380
cope baguette, your time is about to end

>>1849383
shiro isn't much better, and chopper looks like he's about to shit his pants all the time

>>1849379
nooooooooooooooo please dude

>>1849386
the only other decent ruskie IGL is jerry and he's been out for a long time. Ruzzia has no igls except him right now

https://x.com/nicxCS/status/1943740324276252768
all your favorite cs pros are watching this event too

>>1849385
i'm a shitality hater but sp0r0t won't be the ones to do it

>>1849391
do you watch col
that dude is straight ass

>>1849392
well, who else would it be if not them? Don't say falcons because I can already feel this roster is about to kick TeSeS because Zonic can't into making a roster and Falcons will never do anything good in CS

>>1849389
>Ruzzia has no igls except him right now
lol
you might actually be right, now that I think about it
what a sad fucking state of affairs
could magnojez take up igl'ing at some point? he's the only one that comes to mind as someone both competent and not depressed

who invited this fucking nerd?

>>1849395
>this roster is about to kick TeSeS
no fucking way
I genuinely think it's more likely the roster has a coup and replaces zonic, it's not like niko and m0nesy really give a fuck about having him around

>>1849394
decent id say, bro literally got lifted from tier-3/4 NA instead of going through tier-2 NA. considering that he's doing meh and is actually a decent lurker compared to floppy

>>1849396
wait i actually forgot boombl4, bruh. too bad he's stuck on a gamba org so the buyout will be impossible.
>could magnojez take up igl'ing at some point?
there's rumors going around magixx might try IGLing on his next roster idk about this fraud

>>1849397
he'll clear out of the thread once his slots event is over

>>1849403
huh? we're talking about you nerds discussing shitty unknown players

>they are starting to forget
Good... 3rd major final is coming home...

>>1849405
lmfao be serious

>>1849400
nta, but it's falcons. They would absolutely kick teses if they could buy a bigger/hyped name
I hope they do. I want to see teses on a likeable team

>>1849405
nah they are mega chockers, they just aren't the ones i feel, plus GOD that would be so boring too, an NPC team like that winning would be disastrous

>>1849401
>boombl4
he's dogshit like all other russian igl's

>>1849395
sAw's ENCE played well against Vitality in 2023, maybe he can recreate some of that magic
I think Vitality will still be top 1 for the rest of the season but they will lose tournaments here and there to the top teams

>>1849417
jimmy might make the move from MOUZ now that niko is on falcons but teses is pretty great as an anchor, he was a monster on Heroic under cadiaN IIRC

>>1849406
>esl revealed it for them
incompetent fucks

>>1849417
at some point it has to stop. they're so mid after so much money, and the players/igl must have some input
>>1849421
he means teses is better (for the team) but would get unfairly kicked

What if Falcons peaked in Melbourne

>>1849421
>he was a monster on Heroic
he's also falcons most consistent player
won't matter though. They've shown that they don't give a shit
kyxsan would also be out now if it wasn't for vrs and not being able to find a higher rated igl

>>1849401
>considering that he's doing meh and is actually a decent lurker compared to floppy
dude he's individually horrendous, 0 impact, 0 kills, 0 chance in 50/50 duels. floppy was never this bad, they just thought they had to move on

>>1849429
yeah i wanna see the entire saudi economy try to build a CS roster and fail everytime
would be funny as fuck
>>1849432
yeah but floppy was worse than this. this guys's reason for being shit is kind of justified given he got picked up from shitter compared to floppy who had tons of experience

>>1849412
they're the most complete team in the top 5 other than vitality
>>1849418
astralis used to be chokers too (not saying they'll have an era)
>NPC team like that winning would be disastrous
what a unique and free-thinking opinion!

>>1849439
>they're the most complete team in the top 5
literally who gives a fuck. where has it gotten them?
they lost to falcons twice, who just throw money at problems and have never heard of a role clash

>>1849439
im with the free thinkers on this on g, MOUZ plays good CS but they got no aura fr fr no cap

>>1849421
Teses was never lurking on Heroic as far as i remember, it was jabbi
He's playing really well this year as entry and now they'll move him to a polar opposite role

>>1849439
>what a unique and free-thinking opinion!
he's not wrong tho
I know torszi is one of their two best players, but mouz should actually try to get s1mple
the team's been needing a shot of adrenaline for years now
>astralis used to be chokers too
imagine if this was what zonic brought to the table lol
can he un-choke niko and monesy?

what even is the point in replying to a discussion when you don't want to have a serious discussion

>>1849450
what's the point of asking a question to no one in particular, instead of the person who's behavior you want to change

>>1849441
>where has it gotten them?
on an indisputable #2 spot in the world
also they cleared shitcons when it mattered the most

>>1849453
whose*

>>1849441
>they lost to falcons twice
yeah, against a new awper with different protocols, and then they won once there was enough footage to review for prep. lvg coach said he figured them out in an hour during the major iirc
failclown glazers unironically called 2 wins "winning consistently"

>>1849456
>an indisputable #2 spot in the world
#2 itw, 1 random pgl trophy this year. it's like when vitality hit #1 off a bunch of finals, except there's an actually good team levels above them
>>1849458
second time they lost mouz had 6 post-m0nesy dust2 demos, 4 nukes, including one of each that they'd played, and about 2 weeks since their last match
sometimes m0nesy is gonna go 46-25 and rape your team, and no 500iq strat can stop that. mouz don't have a rapist (on the server at least)

Holy Shit this kraut got taste in music

>>1849378
he really was the GOAT at that, he was carrying in their vlog videos harder than donk carries on the server

$HWACKED

>>1849463
I should clarify, I'm not personally fond of falcons, but bragging about being competent this season means nothing when it results in basically 0 trophies and every other team was waiting around for roster changes (and maybe still are)

>>1849269
>6 playoffs out of 16 majors

OOF

and just like that viola, the thread is alive and kicking

>>1849474
?

>>1849463
>except there's an actually good team levels above them
vitality is above everyone. no one (sane) pretended that liquid were bad just because they were losing to astralis. astralis were just better
>sometimes m0nesy is gonna go 46-25 and rape your team, and no 500iq strat can stop that
that is true for all teams and all players though. even an igl can completely disrupt the opponent's game plan (individually)

>>1849474
wow so its almost like the OP was never a problem? and you retarded uncs need to actually talk about what you want instead of just whining?

>>1849474

>>1849501
you have a funny little monkey brain

>>1849463
>1 random pgl trophy this year
Well, fucking obviously, Vitality has been winning everything else
All top 2 contenders got a PGL trophy in their pocket
>it's like when vitality hit #1 off a bunch of finals
You can't name a better team than MOUZ not counting Vitality

>>1849507
you're right, the skin gods are actually talking about the game unlike you retards

I think uncs might bring out Shroud itt to overshadow this case unboxing LoL!

I probably opened 20 cases in my life and I got a knife :)

>>1849510
>You can't name a better team than MOUZ not counting Vitality
complete dogshit falcons with 1-2 players they planned on kicking all year: 4 finals, 1 pgl trophy
mouz: 4 finals, 1 pgl trophy
I feel like it should jump off the page more
I'm not saying they aren't probably #2, I'm saying it doesn't mean anything when they're getting raped by vitality and basically every other competent team besides mongolz and ef (who are already capped out at mid) were waiting for roster changes

>>1849510
>You can't name a better team than MOUZ not counting Vitality
nta, but faze just brought broky back

>>1849516
I've maybe open 15 and I haven't gotten shit

Ermmmmmm 'gogbroskies...I'm getting sleepy...when are they going to open katos and cobbles?

>>1849481
>that is true for all teams and all players though
what are we doing here
do you think aleksib has more maps above 1.10 than donk has maps over 1.30 this year? you need an insanely high floor and weak opposition if you don't have a semi-reliable x factor

do you rekon jL will make it? it's pretty obvious he wants to be a streamer superstar

>>1849525
Towards the end.

I guess the core was cheaper than whatever raise the previous players wanted

>>1849589
what's even the point? 2 of their 3 sponsors are turkish

>>1849529
he has too much of an ego to be funny/entertaining (because that requires you to not take yourself too seriously) but he can probably make a lot of connections with the sociopathic charm so he'll do fine as a content creator

>>1849592
>what's even the point?
vrs
they've gotten used to having a tier1 team and would rather pull a cheap falcons than fighting their way to the top

>>1849598
but unless they slowly swap all the players out for turks, no one's gonna watch and care
the whole point of ef was that they had a psycho fanbase who'd buy merch and watch all the games

>>1849517
Yes, but also consider falcons bombed out in the 2nd stage of the major against literal whos. So they might scrape the ceiling of being #2 in the world but their floor knows no depth.

– I remember one time, before I was pro, I played a random pug against NiKo, where he absolutely crushed me. After that particular match, I remember that I took a one-week break from CS:GO because it made me not want to play the game. I had always dreamt of reaching the same level as NiKo, and I also thought I was playing well, but it was crazy to realize how far away I was from him.“

In fact, flameZ recalls a conversation with his coach at the time, where he actually explained to his coach that he was considering quitting CS:GO, because of NiKo “f*cking him up so bad” and the realization it brought with it.

-After some time, I went back to that exact game against NiKo and decided to download his demo to see how he plays – Something, which slowly meant that I got my motivation back. After that I was playing a lot of CS, even though, I back then had a really bad PC and monitor, and I was playing with a very low FPS.

>What will it take for you to stop underestimating Mouz?
them beating a good team
everyone below vitality is shit rn, but most of them know it and are trying to improve. mouz can barely dominate teams waiting for roster changes AND they're still gonna get 2-1, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2ed by vitality from now til january

>>1849624
FaZe, paiN, 3DMAX, Heroic, GL, VP, B8, Furia

>>1849629
why can a team with a 100% dead roster that bombs out of the major do about as well as mouz over 6 months
yeah they're probably #2, but what does that mean

>>1849605
na cs lul

>>1849637
>B8
isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

>>1849643

This is insane bias. You think Mouz did not improve over the last 6 months? Even if it's 2-1 wins, Mouz will still win against every single top 8 team other than Vitality.

>>1849639
>100% dead roster
Which team are you talking about? No way you're referring to Falcons.
>yeah they're probably #2, but what does that mean
It means that they can beat every team other than Vitality, which is the #1 team. Hope this helps.

Still can't believe how fast Vitality went from a disappointing year to practically an era defining team
I always believed in this roster core but even I am still surprised

>>1849647
>Vitality out of nowhere
ok

>>1849647
Ropz is what Niko was supposed to be. Best and most consistent rifler OAT. When you combine that with the GOAT of CS, the best fragging IGL, the best anchor with a dad buff and a jew, you get an era defining team.

>>1849647
ropz to Vitality is easily one of the most important transfers in CS history. Went from a top 3 team that choked in Majors to one of the most dominating ever.

>>1849645
rest of the team will carry them in cologne
then he'll make donk zzeethe and lifegame against spirit in the playoffs

4 more days.....Need....CS.......

*flatlines*

>>1849621
>What will it take for you to stop underestimating Mouz?
there are three camps of mouz deniers:
1. people who believe that spirit is the second best team because they could probably win against vitality (no proof) and despite not having won a series against mouz last seaon
2. people who believe that falcons are the second best team because they've had closer series with vitality than mouz (who cares, they didn't win)
3. people like this guy >>1849631 who buy into the "weak era" narrative and claim that all teams except vitality are just bad (probably the same crowd who said everyone except astralis was bad)
>>1849646
>I might be the only Mouz fan itt.
nah, i'm with you

>>1849657
>superneo cunts might be at epl
funny, cringe, or fringe. call it

>>1849646
>You think Mouz did not improve over the last 6 months
I think if another team beats vitality this year beyond maybe 1 fluke, it'll be one that gambled on a roster change instead of mouz. that's what matters
and I'd be astounded if mouz keeps beating every non-vitality team
>No way you're referring to Falcons
https://www.hltv.org/news/41391/media-falcons-set-sights-on-kyousuke
https://www.hltv.org/news/41646/media-falcons-and-spirit-agree-on-kyousuke-transfer
degster was a dead man walking from january 1st, kyousuke press comes out before m0nesy is even signed, and it's official before dallas. being as generous as possible, that's 2 normal events. again I'm not a falcons fan, this is a barometer. why are they roughly on par with a dead incompetent team?
>Hope this helps.
don't do this faggy shit
how many teams this season were (or are) clearly dead and waiting for roster changes? mouz are facing vitality, those teams, and the mongolz+aurora types who are capped out and never winning anything real. who cares, it's 6 months of nothing

>>1849667
funny
but they won't
if they had a chance in tier2 they wouldn't be playing impact

>>1849672
nigga dont talk to me about faggy shit no fucking way you just called falcons a dead incompetent team you're fucking insane
>who cares, it's 6 months of nothing
never before seen levels of cope

>>1849658
Hell yeah brotein shake

I agree with >>1849675
they're not dead
they're definitely incompetent tho

>>1849658
>people like this guy >>1849631 who buy into the "weak era" narrative and claim that all teams except vitality are just bad (probably the same crowd who said everyone except astralis was bad)
vitality, mouz, spirit (planning +kyousuke since last major), mongolz (perennial chokers, can't even win a pgl), aurora (same but worse), navi (dead and planning +makazze), falcons (planning +m0nesy and +kyousuke), faze (dead and desperate), furia (were dead, now gambling), g2 (dead since -m0nesy and waiting to gamble), and then you're into like pain/astralis/vp territory
>>1849675
you're literally denying reality
there were 2 events this year where the falcons players did not have 100% certainty that this roster was done
what do you call that

>>1849630
This has literally never happened to me btw every pro I’ve played I’ve dunked on

>5 retards fighting it out
>WOW, WHAT A COMPETITIVE SCENE, EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO WIN, SO HYPE
>a clear favorite gets established, #2-#6 are still fighting it out
>WOW, WHAT A SHITTY SCENE, NOBODY EXCEPT #1 IS GOOD, SO BORING

>>1849689
NO ONE CARES ABOUT #2-#47234923, in the first scenario anyone can be the best team

>>1849682
Your definition and his definition of falcons' incompetency are different. Yours is the correct definition, in the sense that they don't know how to run a team. His definition is some weird cope that having niko-monesy-kyxsan-teses was not enough to be competent.
>>1849685
For literally every single event since falcons' inception they were uncertain that the roster is done. In fact even now with +kyousuke they're still not certain, teses is 100% on the chopping block next. This is a self inflicted "problem" and should not be used as an excuse to take away the legitimacy of Mouz's wins.

>>1849690
you have to mentally disabled atp if you didn't get what he was saying

just because #1 has been clearly established doesn't mean the scene is shitty

>>1849689
>#2-#6 are still fighting it out
half the top 10 were planning roster changes well before the major. 3 of the 8 qf teams are changing their roster
>>1849691
>For literally every single event since falcons' inception
come on man
there's a difference between "we have a hair trigger, you could be on the chopping block" and "you are a temporary player, we have your replacement lined up and the papers ready to go"

>>1849692
yes it is shitty since no one cares about anyone but the winners in every single sport possible

>>1849694
f1cucks do

>>1849694
You're using vitality's dominance as a cope for why falcons/spirit is garbage. Think about that.
>>1849693
Gun to your head, do you honestly think falcons' roster is complete now?

>>1849690
>NO ONE CARES ABOUT #2
Literally not a single pro player has this mentality of a nigger retard
Go ask anyone below top 5 if he'd love being in MOUZ right now. The answer might surprise you!
>>1849693
>half the top 10 were planning roster changes well before the major
This is the case for literally every single season, holy fuck
Shanghai Major playoffs dead teams walking: Liquid, Heroic, G2, Vitality.

am I the only one loving that we finally have a clear best team again?
I'm not a vitality fan but that just makes it better
you can now root for your team to be the ones to "beat the final boss" (unless you're a mouz fan ofc)

do they make everyone else look worse than they are? yes
but you're still watching cs being as competitive as it has ever been

>>1849702
>I'm not a vitality fan
Found the vitality fan!

>>1849685
>vitality
great team
>mouz
good team but they have a "we'll probably lose" mentality against vitality
>spirit
good team but too reliant on 2 players performing and their prep game is kinda weak
>mongolz
underwhelming results but fundamentally good and have gotten much better in front of crowds
>aurora
ok, actually a bad team. only in top 6 because of individual brilliance
>navi
good team but too rigid and the vibes are off
>falcons
good but same problems as spirit
>faze
well.
>furia
good team but clearly not confident in front of crowds, which is understandable
>g2
good individuals (no longer) held back by a dogshit igl and coach
>top 20 teams
gl and heroic are good (and are about to get better)
liquid could be top 10 with naf in good form or gone
astralis have had some flashes of brilliance with hooxi

i'm not buying the weak era stock

>>1849697
>do you honestly think falcons' roster is complete now?
yes. at the very least, I think it will be given a shot in a way that degster and post-m0nesy magisk weren't
I don't think you get how much it saps effort consciously and subconsciously when you know for a fact that your team is dead, you're going to be swapping positions, strats, everything, and your work is basically wasted
>>1849702
no it's boring as fuck because roster moves take 6-12 months to come to fruition, so you're sitting around waiting

>>1849702
even as a mouz fan, i love it
i think it's great for the whole scene that a team is setting the bar extremely high because it makes everyone jump higher
>you can now root for your team to be the ones to "beat the final boss" (unless you're a mouz fan ofc)
sure.
>but you're still watching cs being as competitive as it has ever been

>>1849714
>I don't think you get how much it saps effort consciously and subconsciously when you know for a fact that your team is dead, you're going to be swapping positions, strats, everything, and your work is basically wasted
how is that management's problem? just buy another player if it doesn't work right away

>>1849712
I cannot believe you guys are writing stuff like this and then accusing me of coping

>>1849722
baselessly calling teams bad just because they're worse than the best is a giga cope

>>1849712
>ok, actually a bad team
The scene is insanely good if reaching all playoffs bar major and scoring some semis here and there is not enough to be called a good team.

there's something far worse about failclowns winning a major than n0k0 "finally" getting a title; zonic will be able ward off accurate claims that he's a fraudulent coach, perhaps permanently

>>1849722
it wasn't a very good post, but I agree with his point
teams aren't shit just because vitality is better

>>1849724
I "baselessly" called 2 teams bad, mongolz and ef. mongolz choke in playoffs to everyone, not just vitality, and ef are somehow worse
basically every other team has been visibly dead and mentally broken (navi, faze) and/or had clear incoming roster changes for months

>>1849721
so apparently he has a richard mille watch, the average cost is $200K
guess youtube pays a lot.

>>1849733
you could take vitality out of the equation completely and I would still be unimpressed

>>1849729
as i said, they have very talented individuals. individuals who can carry them through group stages but almost without exception shart their pants in arenas
as a TEAM, they are bad. watch their rotations, if nothing else

>>1849734
>had clear incoming roster changes for months
Why are you clinging to this shit so hard? I just don't get it. You think everyone suddenly stops giving a shit and the team pulls out of all tournaments once UberDriver says "Falcons -degster 100% !!!" or something?
As I said to you twice before, if your criteria is roster changes then not a single CSGO/CS2 season had more than 3 good teams ever.

>>1849735
it looks like shit

>>1849702
Only thing that annoys me about vitality being the best is that they're not really bringing anything new to the table (that I can see, anyway)
they're just the best at how everyone is playing

>>1849750
They're destroying the notion that tactics are now secondary to pure aim and confirm that pure entriy role is still alive.

>>1849754
trvke
even as an apex hater, i have to admit he's a good igl

>>1849754
maybe, but that's more like "meta correcting" than "meta defining"
I want another astralis...

>>1849759
>I want another astralis...
the only team that could be that right now, in terms of your criteria, is mongolz and that will never happen

>>1849742
>You think everyone suddenly stops giving a shit and the team pulls out of all tournaments
why are you pretending it has 0 effect? I know you've heard the opposite 500 times, "we played with no pressure, we knew changes were coming."
now imagine that instead of 1 carefree event it was months at a time
and no, most offseasons are not like this. coming into this season we had niko being involuntarily poached from #1 which, yes, people knew was coming, no changes in #2, no changes in #3, ropz going to #4 last-minute in a shock transfer from #5 (people knew vitality wasn't meshing, but had 0 idea what was coming), #6 not changing until a shock move 2 months into the season when spinx became available, no changes to #7, #8 were sold to falcons with the first link published on DECEMBER 29TH, #9 were linked to nertz on DECEMBER 28TH and picked up siuhy mid-season when he randomly became available from mouz, #10 and #11 had random mid-season transfers out of nowhere, etc.
there's a difference between something happening 2 weeks into the playerbreak vs 2 months before it

>>1849758
Vitality was the best team in 2023 because apEX took more freedom in calling and designing the game plan
In 2022 it was zonic and they played much slower CS they clearly weren't comfortable with, it took ZywOo breaking the bo5 world record in kills to just win one tournament against fucking Liquid

>>1849768
>In 2022 it was zonic and they played much slower CS they clearly weren't comfortable with
the fraud evidence just keeps piling up. unc hasn't done anything new since astralis and i'd bet their era defining style came more (or entirely) from the players
i unironically think he's just the luckiest tag-along of all time

>>1849778
the problem's that gla1ve is washed too. they all are, except devve

>>1849778
>the fraud evidence just keeps piling up
speaking of that, didn't ZywOo just win the Major + MVP, under the most pressure ever, with a brand new mouse?

>>1849781
can't be a washed player if you're not playing anymore

>>1849781
>except devve
the fact that he's so overlooked in the goat conversation is criminal

>>1849781
device needs a wash
because of his stinky diaper

>>1849786
can't be the goat if you were never even the greatest player of a year

>>1849786
He in the conversation of GOATs, with the emphasis on the "s", but when some players clearly surpassed him in individual skill it's hard to argue for him being THE greatest

>>1849793
he was blindly robbed in 2018
biggest robbery of the century, nothing ever came close

>>1849786
I'd never put him above zywoo or s1mple individually
monesy? two years ago I'd say no. Not sure anymore

>>1849793
are you really the best player of the year if you can't pull your team across the line when it matters the most?

>>1849797
are you danish by chance
it's an individual award, and the clear best individual won

>>1849801
all I see is an amazing player in an amazing team vs a baiter with fodder for teammates
device was better but was nerfed by being in the best team
the first hints of this situation repeating with donk getting #1 this year are already here btw

>>1849808
>device was better but was nerfed by being in the best team
trvke

>>1849808
ZywOo and donk are close in rating with ZywOo winning all MVPs
donk is boosted by Astana which was objectively the weakest tier 1 tournament and he skipped 2 big events
ZywOo is pretty clearly on top

you dumb fuck

>>1850036
never said that major titles should be the only determining factor but winning big events and especially majors should be a bigger part of the equation

>>1850054
zywoo only won cologne last year, navi players won copenhagen, ewc, epl, rio. do you think zywoo simply failed to pull his team over the line, should every navi player have outranked him in the top 20, should he have been like 16th or something?
what's different this year, why has he already won 7x the big events in half the time? he's incredible now, he was ass then? incredible late-career resurgence? he decided he was gonna start carrying?
it's just a pedantic gay way to pretend you couldn't possibly tell when someone is playing well on a mid or bad team, even when it's outside their control (without legm interference)

>>1850072
sure.

>>1850076
I'm serious. how do you square that, rationally?

>>1850081
i'm saying if two players are relatively close in terms of stats and one has won 6 events and the other one has won 1, the guy who has won 6 should be a spot higher by default because his skill actually translated to something of more value
you could factor in team mates' ratings to determine the "carry factor" in cases where it's obvious that the player was gimped by their team though. bad perfomances in big events should also be a big factor (especially if the rest of your team performs well)

>>1850104
>you could factor in team mates' ratings to determine the "carry factor" in cases where it's obvious that the player was gimped by their team though. bad perfomances in big events should also be a big factor (especially if the rest of your team performs well)

>>1850123
not the guy who argued that device was robbed in 2018

>>1850129
wait then what did you think needed to be rectified

>>1850134
it was just a general statement because both s1mple and zywoo have won a bunch of number 1's and 2's in years where they barely won any trophies

>>1850155
(with runner-ups having only slightly worse stats)

>>1850159
what's the most egregious example

>>1850166
i'd say 2019 and 2021 (the #2 placements)

>>1850174
actually, 2 and 3 in 2021

>>1850174
2021 I'm not even discussing if you're implying sh1ro should've been #2 for being the biggest baiter in history and winning some cis memes
as for 2019, I'm more willing to consider it but still think it's just punishing him for his team. he was in an insanely unsteady situation and he was still clearing dev1ce output-wise. swap their situations (as in 2021) and you see the difference in the caliber of player and individual production

Ermmmmm Spiritbros...the vibes are already off(why is he sitting alone?) (dang this nigga ugly!) (not makazze ugly but still bad looking)

>>1850461

>>1850464
>sh1to and z0nt1x
They are secretly besties

Why does hltv still only list 3 players for G2? Heroic confirmed SunPayus and ESL confirmed MATYS.

>>1850468
because g2 needs to do an official announcement

>>1850457
>Spirit
lost their only spark of life outside the server. Might have a negative affect on the server
>Falcons
lost their only cool headed guy + giant role clash. Let's wait and see before you piss your pants in glee
>G2
not like it could get any worse. Only team that without a doubt comes out stronger, unless hunter manages to be a worse igl than snax

>>1850478
>spark of life outside the server
I can't rate that and neither can you. On paper Spirit got rid of their worst player (not counting chopper) for a very skilled young talent. To me that's a clear upgrade.

>only cool headed guy + giant role clash
Like magixx being cool headed and an all around good guy doesn't matter if you're a giant drag factor on the server. I'm not a rolecel, I believe that players can learn new roles and kyousuke is still super young and can be molded to fit Falcon's needs. Although if kyousuke manages to come close to what is being promised I'd like to see NiKo give up is star positions in favor of him.

>not like it could get any worse
True. My main reason for rating G2 so well is sAw coming in and Snax going out. huNter- seems like the player to be igl material and in combination with a top tier coach should do great. SunPayus and MATYS are whatever but if malbs steps up they could be great supporting players.

>>1850479
>I can't rate that and neither can you
ah, you're a numberfag
>huNter- seems like the player to be igl material
when it suits you at least

>>1850488
Not a statsfag. Someone outside the team can't rate the group dynamic inside when you only have highly curated vlogs and social media posts to go off of. I rate huNter- because he has spent a long time playing at the highest level, has the experience to come with it and already calls most of G2's CT. All of that in combination with sAw who is known to be a systems and structured game plan guy gives me reason to believe huNter- will do well.

>>1850490
let's just ignore that spirit making mistakes and relying solely on donk is clearly getting to him. And that magixx was the only person able to not go completely emo when they lost.
I "rate" them fucked as soon as they lose a single game

>>1850496
Good on you anon. But how do you know that zweih can't fill that role while also contributing significantly more on the server than magixx and thus taking a load of donk?

This is very bad nightcore

you know baz played with donk and zontix in spirit academy right? he became a streamer because he wasn't good enough for pro cs.

>>1850642
He will bounce back in this superstar lineup

>>1850642
he played for b8 for 3 weeks. not sure if he was a standin or if he just got benched really fast.
anyway, he gets thousands of viewers on twitch so he earns more than he would be doing in some t2 team anyway. not sure why he's popular, i dont understand russian but i see his stream having a lot of viewers.

Nice, though I don't know why it took them this long to realize having walled females with no connection to cs handing out bananas in between maps on the payroll is a waste of money, maybe mouz realizes soon as well

With sAw finally joining a tier 1 team I hope ash can also either take the next step and join one or GL stops selling talent and becomes one themselves.

Well they didn't sell PR, despite a lot of interest, so that's probably what they're attempting. I think saw ironically took a step back looking at the rosters, heroic are likely to be very legit the moment they can get rid of yxngstxr without losing vrs points wheras G2 has more than 1 bum with current form, even brought one with him.

Brothers.
I'm 15k, one match this morning against 18-24k, the next against 3-10k.
Lose 60 on a tie in the high mmr lobby, gain 300 on a win in the low. How does this make any sense?

Who does Heroic have outside of tN1R? gr1ks might be good and nilo was on the bench for the entire season. G2 has HeavyGod who is good all around, malbs who simply needs a tard wrangler to perform and SunPapi who is solid all around.

Daily reminder that KennyS personally jinxed this for NiKo

>>1850658
Both gr1ks and nilo are potentially on the same level as tn1r, least not far off, and lnz is serviceable. They will do good as is but might really become superior to aurora/mongolz with 1 more change, unless they sell players to make bank again instead

>>1850663
>potentially on the same level
That's a big if and who knows how LNZ does in the future without sAw behind him.

>>1850663
I think both gr1ks and nilo will be upgrades. So if they got team synergy they should be top 5 or so.
