Great bounce back by nV
Why would he have to go bald? He clearly said THE major when he did that bet, meaning Cologne 2015I feel bad for G2. They got so close
Now NiP vs Na'Vi. I want to see NiP lose because fuck NiP but if they win, Thorin's gotta go bald.
I don't know...
That inferno felt like VP vs fnatic in Cologne.
Well, I am rooting for them!I feel bad for G2. They got so close
Now NiP vs Na'Vi. I want to see NiP lose because fuck NiP but if they win, Thorin's gotta go bald.
I don't know...
Maybe it still applies? I thought it meant NiP reaching a major ever again. Plus I really want to see bald Thorin
But even though I dislike NiP, the main reason I want them to lose is because of a certain person here
Sirscoots interviews are so pointless.
"In round 14 you did this and that, can you go over that? In round 12 you did this, do you remember that? And in round 15 you did that, what was the mindset there?"

Guardian can see through walls?
NiP losing? Good... goood...
Yes, blatant wallhack on a major.
Na'Vi picked the map. NiP picked CT side.

Na'Vi did.
NiP can take Dust II and Inferno. This will be the wake-up call for NiP. They'll take Dust II and Inferno. It's a rough start, but NiP can do it.
Go Ninjas Go Ninjas Go!
Apparently, yeah.
I don't know, maybe D2. Guardian and flamie are on point right now, gonna be tough for them.

Sigh...
Na'Vi has always been the one team I absolutely hate. Even Fnatic/Cloud 9 I respect them and even like a few of their players. Na'Vi? Completely hate them, their players (except Edward), and their playstyle, and now I really despise them. I can't wait for that team of Toxic, boring, awful players to disband because Edward gets sick of Zues, Guardian, and Seized being toxic jerks.
I hope EnVyUs completely 2-0, 16-0 Na'Vi.
Freaking Friberg.... how he didn't get a SINGLE kill on three pistol-using Ts, when he had the superior angle... jesus Friberg. Why would you even hold an angle that close when Pistols would 1-shot you, and dying without trading completely screws your team...

Oh god no.
Man... I don't know what I want from NiP. I love the team because of the players, but it's also hard to love the team when they just can't ever win, and the reason they can't win is because of the players. Like, I said, I love the team and I would never want GeT_RiGhT, F0rest, and Xizt to separate, but something NEEDS to change. I've spent like 8 months as a fan hoping that maybe they'll just work it out. Maybe Friberg will finally get out of his slump. Maybe Xizt will finally get some new strats, etc.
At this point though, it seems like they need to at least get rid of Friberg, and maybe Xizt. It's been more than a year, NiP isn't performing better consistently, they've been through two new members, been through a new coach, etc. That hasn't helped, and Friberg hasn't seemed to step it up no matter how hard he tries. I really don't want any roster changes on NiP, but at this point it seems like it's necessary.
To be fair, they did better than I expected. I honestly thought they wouldn't get past TSM and they did. They may need to drop Friberg though.

I knew they could get through TSM, and I knew they could have beaten Na'Vi, but that's where the problem is with NiP. They're never consistent. They never play the same.
Against TSM, and against Titan the second time they were playing SO disrespectful. They were just going in everytime, knowing they're good enough to just stomp TSM and out aim them. Get the frags and do whatever they want.
Then today, against Na'Vi, they lost pistol round, and they seemed to have given up after that first round. They never pushed, they never tried taking the duels, they played passively and they played dumb. They had GTR solo hold B site, and even when he lost it every round they left him at it. They were too scared to challenge Guardian and they just didn't have the confidence to take the fights, and when they did they were so hesitant that they lost them automatically.
Hell even before this major, NiP was playing a really Yolo Puggy style for a few months, which was at least working for them really well, and then come this major and they stopped playing their Yolo style that was giving them some results in favor of their old terrible style from 6 months ago.
Something just isn't right with that team right now. Like the players gave up a year ago and only decide to show up sometimes.
Yes, the team has a lot of potential, beating tsm demostrates it, but something needs a change and dropping friberg maybe is a good call.
Anyways about the teams on the finals:
Na'vi getting to the finals is awesome, the team has been very consistent these months and I think it deserves the spot there.
And envyus... idk beating fanatic wasnt that big of a surprise and reaching the finals was expected but... G2 putting them a good fight was a revelation.
Imo G2 was the surprise of the tournament what do you guys think?
Agreed. When it comes to new teams though, I'm impressed with how Liquid played against teams despite not picking up wins. I expected much worse from them.
Edit: Luminosity also deserves credit for beating Fnatic.
I really like EnVy but I would have loved to see G2 in the final and potentially winning a major. Especially since I felt like the team was going to derail after the departure of ScreaM.
