Shout out to Anders for mentioning the Simple the undertaker video. Was a good watch while we were on tech break. Worth the watch for sure.

The best teams are all still in contention though, there's a long way to go before things get as weird as last time

2/4 were garbage legends that got there by mistake

The other 2 are being bought back to Danish CS's natural level; gatekeeping T1 (also choking horribly under even slight pressure)

Interesting that depending on how they do bracket seeding Navi jumped SK in round differential. So if that is the tiebreaker for seeding G2 and SK would be on the same side of the bracket with Faze and Navi on the other. That might be the best bracket Faze could of hoped for.

I wish I could find somewhere to confirm seeding for playoffs. Because it looks like c9 could pull faze or Navi based on this last game. Assuming its the same as krakow SS win it'll be navi.

Its hard to feel bad for gambit blowing the QBF game. However they had to play 4 teams that finished top 5 in the cwis system and the last match up being space soldiers who finished positive in rounds. Even if you throw out the QBF finish they had by far the hardest draw and only went 60-69 in rounds against 5 teams that all went positive in rounds.

I'm pretty hype about QBF coming out of nowhere and kicking rear end, but I can't help but feel like this would never have happened if even a single player on mousesports knew even a single smoke for A site on train

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Honestly the best looking 8 teams probably made it to the final stage or thereabouts. Not sure QBF beats out Astralis/Gambit in a bo3 but whatever, as I said before I'm happy to see newer blood. bo1s will always bring upsets. Got to watch most of Space Soldiers' games and they are a blast to watch. Got a lot of respect for a team like that who have grinded it out as a single lineup in T2 for so long finally getting recognition too. QBF undoubtedly deserved their spot to, but it's crazy to think that they almost certainly would have been eliminated by nV in the qualifiers if maLeK hadn't been a huge anchor after ScreaM went off in that game. Likewise I think Liquid would probably have reached Legend with steel instead of coach standin, given what we saw of the lineup.

Other note would be GuardiaN played at a level I haven't seen him play at for...two years maybe? For me, he was the best defensive AWPer in CS history but for a long time in Na'Vi he just looked dead in the water. Playing with FaZe has definitely revitalised him as a player. They look like they have a very good chance of taking down the event as a whole imo. Also I'd loving love a G2 v FaZe brawl, so long as bodyy plays the game of his life so it's a fair match.

yep.

boombl in particular buys a mp9 on a ton of gun rounds...and consistently gets 1-2 kills and a rifle. look at how dumb his weapon stats are.14% of his kills are with it

it's honestly impressive. he's like a gimmicky Fer. I wonder if NaVi will have figured out his game.

What did you say the strategy was?
What's the best SMG to get? I normally go for the mp9? Which ever is in the first slot. Used to go ump but i think the mp9 shoots a bit quicker. Mac-10 on t side for anti-eco, ump otherwise.
