Optic is Shahzam's new team. The organization is a CoD one I think.

I remember shazam from when he was on c9 at some major I think and he awped his own teammate after being warned that he would be crossing his angle.

That was Katowice 2015.

Also CLG is getting destroyed on Inferno by Tempo Storm. It's entertaining.

it's a pretty hilarious contrast to how lovely c9 was as CT on inferno

There is another CS:GO LAN in NYC(Gowanus) Saturday March 5th. Tickets are ~$25. It was pretty fun and there were about 7 teams at the last one. If 4 people want to come, we can make a team.

I'm kind of wondering how well Luminosity would be doing had they picked up HEN1 instead of TACO. They would have had a very strong secondary AWPer but I don't know how well he does with rifles.

Even if the Brazilians weren't destroying NA STILL shouldn't qualify for ANYTHING. All "pro" NA teams are loving trash compared to the rest of the world.

^ Yep. LG is pretty much the only chance two loving continents have at competing. Honestly watching Fallen coach an FPL pug back from a 3-13 deficit on cobble (who started as CTs) really made me realize why LG is such a threat. Dude's just smart. Not to mention everyone on the team can switch on at any time.

I still think the skill ceiling isn't high enough in CoD to support true competitive, uh, anything. The game really is just continued watered down garbage.

The main reason I've heard is that the talent is spread way too thin for any one team right now to be effective. An NA superteam of, say, shroud, skadoodle, roca, Hiko, and NAF with seang@res coaching could make waves internationally, but egos and contracts get in the way. It's a drat shame.

The C9/TS score was 12-4 when I went off to DM for a bit. I come back and it's 14-13.

Can someone answer this question? Why and the ever loving gently caress is Thorin decked out like he's about to embark on a summit attempt on Everest for EVERY one of his loving videos? I could at least understand if all of his clothes had CSGO betting websites plastered all over them.

Someone setup a GoFundMe to get his heat turned on for fucks sake.

I turned it on at 15/15.

C9 had the bomb down with 2 alive. They both peek into the retake one by one. I can't believe they keep doing poo poo like that. I'm not even sure if they pop flashed first.

I'm glad TS is not in Group A for Katowice. They only have to deal with a relatively weak NV, an inconsistent Astralis, a very weak VP, a very inconsistent FaZe, and E-Frag as opposed to three on-fire teams in the form of Fnatic, Na'Vi, and Luminosity as well as NiP, mousesports, and Mongolz.

Sometimes it seems as though he's talking about something and that he probably has an interesting angle on it, but god drat I'm not going to sit through 25-35 minutes of video games history to figure out what that is. Most of what he says could be said in 5 minutes or less. He's like the retarded guy who talks for ages about the intricacies of how train ticketing systems work, when really you just wanted to know what the fare was.
