Counter-Strike: Global Offensive |OT| Letting The Dust Settle
- Thread starter Overdoziz
- Start date
I'm watching a replay of the Liquid - Mousesports match and I noticed that Mouz didn't buy helmets on one round of OT (obviously because AK and AWP headshots are fatal regardless of a helmet and you would anticipate Ts buying those weapons in OT). But knowing that Elige favors the Krieg (as does NAF from time to time), wouldn't you think that extra $350 is worth it? Is this a common thing now (CTs not buying helmets) or just Mouz trying to overthink things?
Anyway, this Major is delivering some bangers so far. The Liquid Mouz match was so close despite the 2-0, as was Astralis NRG on train (and then NRG made Astralis look like clowns on what used to be their best map, which is so bizarre). Liquid Astralis in the quarterfinals is appointment TV for sure.

SG headhshot will kill you even with head armor, the weapon has 100% armor penetration.

Renegades destroying a lot of pick ems this major lmao
that was 1.6
Yeah no shit. Who in the world picked rng to advance over ence, ESPECIALLY with how ence have been performing in this major? Fucking crazy. And now avangar takes first map over vitality o.0
If ENCE and Vitality both go out today, that would be a shocking (and very interesting) result. If Liquid can make it through the death bracket of Astralis and NRG/NaVi only to face Renegades or Avangar in the Finals? Bonkers.
Imagine if Astralis win this major (prolly gonna lose against Liquid though). They'll only show up at majors in the future to win the grand prize and chill for the rest of the year.
Edit: if all the underdogs are winning, Astralis and Navi will go through? :>

When C9 and NRG win the major before the best NA team ever. 💀
I'm hoping for an Astralis 3 peat wooo!
tbh with almost nothing leading up to the major (ie no regular season, most of the top teams are just in by default) teams that arent as good like avangar and rng making it this far just feels cheap, like getting cheated out of seeing better teams play without anyone really earning it. just makes it hard to get invested in the overall outcome of the tournament if you arent betting
Which better teams exactly? The current HLTV top 6 made it all to the playoffs and RNG/Avangar beat up all the other teams like C9, G2, Faze, Ence and Vitality to make it to the semis.
Upsets makes the major more exciting. Especially with the current seeded swiss stage, which makes it hard for lower seeded teams to make the playoffs in the first place.

I agree there was little hype coming into the Major, mostly because teams were skipping a lot of the events leading up to it and some big teams like Na 'Vi, FaZe and MiBR were in bad form. But so far the Major delivered us some great matchups and since my pick 'em are dead already, I have no problems with watching Astralis win their 3rd in a row, incredible stuff.
another boring major.
Not because astralis won, but because valve simply aren't supporting the game at a level that gets anyone interested.
The major is their chance to show off all the new stuff and get people's interest, but they're just showing off the same game with no new stuff every time.

What kind of major doesn't even do a best of 5 final? Not that a 3-0 would have been any more exciting than the wet fart of a final we got. But honestly.
I'm curious, what kind of new stuff would you like to see in CSGO? We got a completely new map for the first time in years in a major and it turned out to be shit.
But yeah I agree, they need to do something to pull me back in. New Cache is a start but I still haven't forgiven them for ruining cbbl like that.
I don't understand. Why were they on the same side of the bracket? They need to figure out the seeding so this doesn't happen again.
