"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

5/5 pickem so far, Gambit and Liquid were super obvious imho.

I got Mouz next because I'm German so that's going to wreck my perfect score I'm sure

Mouz have beaten VP 4 out of 5 times since switching out gob b for Spiidi. Their one loss to VP was on Train and even then it went into overtime. I think you're safe.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Interesting that VP wouldn't go for the double AWP setup on CT train when they had the chance to pick up a second AWP.

I have no doubt that mouz are the better team but they've also never made it onto a loving major stage and I'm afraid they'll fail me again

I just wanna cheer for mouz on Friday :sad:

Dammit I ended up switching my pick to EnVyUs after their ELeague performance. Should have stuck with Liquid, but I've learned the hard way not to pick NA so many times in the past. Everything else has been right so far and I've got VP, SK, and then fnatic for the rest of the day.

I like mouz but I don't see how you can believe they are better than VP with "no doubt". I mean, they have zero successes in real LANs while VP still place pretty well and clinch a win every blue moon. Arguably they are better than VP in the head to head match. Like how Astralis is generally better than NiP, but loses to that matchup almost every time.

I like the statistic that says Snax only bought the AWP twice for 13 kills.

Well, SK/G2 data is a repeat of VP/Mouz. G2 have beaten SK on 4 out of 5 of their past maps, only barely losing on Train.

Let's see if statistics fail me again.

I really like how ScreaM and Smithzz take long A together. The guy further back is always in a trade position while they slowly clear all the angles.

Statistics are important but clearly it's not the only thing you need to consider.

I'm happy that Smithzz managed to get a bunch of AWP kills at least

I know that. There's also that gut feeling, which made me lean towards SK initially. I should start thinking with my gut and not my brain, apparently.

While I'm absolutely ecstatic FaZe won, this means that day one of my Team Pick-'Em ends with just 4/8 correct. At least day one doesn't matter too much in the long run.

would anyone named mcvey care to discuss the suddenly very real possibility of fnatic going out first in their group? that's a super rough elimination match for whoever loses it

are there any custom maps that help you learn spray patterns? i saw one on youtube that showed you a green cursor of where to move, but it doesnt seem to be in the workshop
