UGGGGGGGH ITS THE CHEATER

FILTHY CHEATER

GET HIM

Hixx don't even start lol

I told you over a month ago "hey, btw, I might actually get banned I fucked up" and explained the whole thing -- and then when I actually did get banned a month later (on the day the sale ended because fuck you Valve) you come in here with your fucking friends and act like I've been cheating like crazy.

Took a while, but finally dropped another 40k bomb (I know low rank but still) in a 4 vs 5 game win.
Yeah u are seeing that right, that wasn't Dust2...

 

[Divius]

Yeah u are seeing that right, that wasn't Dust2...

Disgusting

 

[cHinzo]

Disgusting

I know right.

Already played through the standard rotation of Dust2, Cache and Mirage and wanted to play another one, so Train, Overpass, Nuke, Inferno and Cobble were left lol. -_-

 

[cHinzo]

Major hype guys. Let's go ChrisJ!

 

[Applebite]

OMG VP BEAT VEGA!!!!!1!!

 

[cHinzo]

I'm disappointed teams aren't playing Cobble and Overpass. 😑

 

[Applebite]

I could see Astralis vs. IMT being played on Overpass.

 

[cHinzo]

^I can see Inmortals win tbh. 😑

Let's go Penta!

 

[JDB]

The down time between matches is stupidly long.

 

[cHinzo]

Every game is fucking Inferno, jesus. Talk about boring.

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

Every game is fucking Inferno, jesus. Talk about boring.

Group stages were always unofficially Cbble only, but I guess at least you get a $20 drop instead of a $3 drop

 

[cHinzo]

There we go with the first upset! Nex finally delivering on LAN and Tabsen always plays well.

 

[Applebite]

Let's go Penta!

Yeah Astralis did drop a map against Godsent last major, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I could see Astralis vs. IMT being played on Overpass.

Nostradamus over here.

 

[Applebite]

Matchups are up.

My predictions for winners are: Penta, FaZe, NaVi, IMT, C9, G2, SK, and then I think VP vs. Fnatic is a 50/50.

I don't think Aizy is working well in the North lineup, FaZe should be hungry after the upset, S1mple > Electronic, Vega are too inexperienced, Big are too inconsistent, Gambit is good but G2 are (on most days) on a different level and history shows that SK is too unrelenting for Astralis to handle. VP and Fnatic are just kind of a mess. Sometimes you get a glimpse of their prime coming through but idk. I'm leaning slightly towards Fnatic on this one, even if I think it's a 50/50.

 

[JDB]

Mouz going out in groups yet again (._. )

 

[cHinzo]

Mygod these matchups. Of course Astralis needs to play fcking SK again. -_-

C9 can legit go 2-0 pretty easily. This is gonna be fun.

 

[Divius]

Mouz going out in groups yet again (._. )

Yeah, tough luck

 

[cHinzo]

Mouz going out in groups yet again (._. )

As is tradition. �� At least they can win tomorrow if they lose against Faze today, since those other 0-2 teams aren't that great. Imagine Na'Vi losing today and Mouz getting matched up against them tomorrow. ��

Pretty happy Astralis managed to prevail against Immortals yesterday. Their reward: play SK.
Also got my first drop this major: an Overpass case. ��

Edit: oh shit Mouz is playing well!

 

[Divius]

lets go mousbois

edit: denis keeps getting killed by pistols

edit: yesss

 

[JDB]

 

[cHinzo]

Woooooh!

Faze is 0-2 lol. Good luck for the other 0-2 teams tomorrow.

 

[JDB]

Oskar looks 40

 

[cHinzo]

Lool this ChrisJ interview. Mouz will never get to play Train anymore for the rest of the major.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Glad Mouz won, would prefer both teams to make playoffs and feel Faze have a much better chance at the reverse sweep. Plus I might finally get to wear my mouz hoodie at an event they make playoffs

Edit - has Niko ever made it out of groups? He deserves it ffs

 

[cHinzo]

Can't believe it takes an entire hour for the next game to start. -_- Hurry up already!

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

Edit - has Niko ever made it out of groups? He deserves it ffs

Mouz got better immediately after he left tho. Maybe he's the problem 🤔

 

[cHinzo]

He fits nicely with the other problem, Kio. 🤔

 

[Hixx]

vega are awful.

They are so bad I was actually wanting Immortals, a team I dislike, to fucking kick their shit in.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Mouz got better immediately after he left tho. Maybe he's the problem 🤔

Maybe I shouldn't have put money on him being the HLTV mvp of the tournament 😅

 

[lazerfox]

What the hell. I just saw Cloud 9 plays against BIG while SK has to play Astralis. That's just idiotic.

The swiss system is only good if there is proper seeding.

 

[sanstesy]

these delays are shit.

also, why aren't K/D shown inbetween rounds next to the players?

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

He fits nicely with the other problem, Kio. 🤔

NV actually won with Kio, mouz wasn't even NA tier with Niko but are now going toe to toe against EU teams

Kind of a big difference

BIG is gonna win the major. Everyone else too busy with their gentlemen agreements, gob b trying to get 500k

 

[sanstesy]

this jump peek bug is beyond fucked rofl

tabsen is sick af though

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Yeah it's bullshit but they would have won either way. Tabsen is incredible.

I'm more annoyed that C9 vetoed Cobble!

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Due to technical difficulties the @BIGCLANgg vs @Cloud9 match will be finished off stream. #pglmajor

Quality tournament, this.

 

[lazerfox]

What a shit show this major has been so far. I liked the production quality PGL had in previous tournaments but they really dropped the ball now.

 

[JDB]

What a shitshow.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Stewie is not supposed to be on his phone because his match is still "ongoing". Sounds like an utter shit show. Playing on integrated graphics is amazing

 

[sanstesy]

yeah a major has never been this bad which is insane when the game has been out for 5 years now.

great mixture of a unexperienced organiser and an oblivious developer creating a shitshow

 

[Atomic Playboy]

How did they play 2/3rds of a match without realizing he was on integrated? I feel like that's something you should pick up on pretty quickly. Like, "hey, is this sluggish for anyone else?"

i'm assuming he didn't check the settings but i'm sure he would have brought up the FPS at some point. I would hope so at least.

 

[Divius]

Mannnnn I just wanna watch some CSGO

c'mon tech guys

 

[jediyoshi]

ffs

 

[CraigerGamer]

He did bring it up, according to CSGO Reddit

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I misread Stewie's tweet, he had no graphics drivers

That's like FIFA forgetting to put in grass in advance of the World Cup. "Shit, was that today? Well just let 'em play anyway."

 

[Applebite]

There's a lot of back and forth about what happened but I think most people can agree that the multiple technical difficulties and the jump bug have taken a lot of the air out of this tournament. Hope they can get their shit together for the rest of the matches.
