I just finished watching the three finals maps, and wow, those were loving nuts. It was almost strange to see Skadoodle perform the way he was able to when I was so used to seeing him being below average for what feels like years.

Moses brought this up in the post-game analysis, but this is going to be a very exciting time for the CS scene as younger teams are starting to really find their footing and upset some of the old guards.

I'm honestly really bummed. KNG deserved this, but I don't think anyone else on the team did.

Hope they still manage to find a team. They hosed up by sticking with KNG, but they still are worldclass talents. Maybe they can pick Felps up and be a real threat.

I'd guess it's just much about how hard it is to get visas for the brazilian team to be in the US for tournaments. No point in having a team if they can't actually enter the country for events.

which honestly might just be KNG though. he was apparently in trouble with the law for a bit in Brazil (so I've heard from some brazilian fans).

maybe bit has a visa problem, but he used to travel to the US to play during 1.6 era, so I doubt it...

Is wingman generally easier then team comp? Played it for the 1st time last night with a buddy both of us drunk and seemingly owning face. No one seemed to buy grenades. Him and I would never get double peaked or trade killed. We are still not ranked but were playing against people who were ranked mg2 while my team comp is gn1 because effort. Is this pretty common?

Side not we got completely owned 9-2 by 1 guy who I suspect was cheating. Both players had basically the same name. He went 16-2 while the other teammates kd was 0/9 or something retarded. I'm not even sure they other guy was playing. Maybe it was the same guy on 2 different accounts. Was too drunk to genuinely notice till match was over.

Wingman is notorious for hackers past dmg/le. I believe the matches don't go to overwatch, so it's a free for all. Have fun until then.

Kjaerbye has left Astralis to join North. Currently no named replacement for Astralis, seeing as it was apparently a complete blindside to the rest of the team.

Your daily dose of pro CS roster moves:

BIG: -keev, LEGIJA to "Head of CS:GO" for BIG
Liquid: -jdm64, +NAF

Liquid look really scary now with EliGE, Twistzz, and NAF altogether. I could see them following in C9's footsteps and breaking out internationally.

These are definitely the strongest NA teams there have been in CS:GO. Even more so than iBP probably. Personally, I think Liquid is a stronger lineup on paper than C9 even. EliGE and Twistzzz are two of the most underrated players in the game. I'm not entirely convinced yet that C9 can hang with FaZe and SK in the long term, even if they are surely Top 5 right now.
