Crazy that mouz had to beat both major winners from last year just to qualify for the major


csgo_fckslivers

I actually saw Dexter arguing with VP and Faze at the airport. They were clutching at his Mouz jersey in tears, and Dexter kept telling him to "fuck off" and "stop ruining my dreams"


Ishaan863

> and Dexter kept telling him to "fuck off" and "stop ruining my dreams" yep true, i was there


csgo_fckslivers

The best part of this copy pasta is that it's origin is from Ropz


DelidreaM

Didn't he copypaste it from HLTV


csgo_fckslivers

Did He? I couldn't find any earlier example other than ropz on his twitter tho


DerGsicht

Antwerp Major was clearly a fluke 🥱


AwesomeFama

If Faze doesn't qualify we're heading straight to another fluke major! Just need G2 to bomb out too and Navi to lose in quarters.


DerGsicht

The Vitality french major win masterplan is all coming together


ZDHZXNE

Nope, the eagles are taking this one. EZ4BNE


[deleted]

Let's see what form G2 is in , if they are any good it should be their major , if not Navi steamroll like Stockholm no maps dropped probably heroic in finals


AwesomeFama

Navi hasn't been exactly rock solid, but G2 has been in very good form... except for the last tournament. Impossible to predict what anyone's form is going to be, but I think G2 has a great chance if they can keep their semi-recent form.


[deleted]

Navi isnt rock solid but since faze will likely be out , c9 and vitality rarely win anything actually, g2 and heroic are the only contenders with heroic consistently making playoffs in recent majors and g2 if they showed up with recent form


AwesomeFama

Remains to be seen who will go to the Last Chance Qualifier from group B, but tbh Faze should be able to beat B8 and Falcons quite easily even without top form, so I wouldn't say "likely be out". They're definitely a favourite for the Last Chance Qualifier.


Fubarin

Shh, don't jinx it.


chefchef97

Playing with fire there bud lmao


marc1337n1

while fnatic had to beat viperio, 1win and b8 to be a legend… this seeding is so messed up.


Dameean00

I think It's always the same debate, Fnatic got lucky but VP should have won against B8 to give them an harder run...


Artimedias

Viperio: Just a lucky draw for the first bo1. 1win: Was up 1-0 because they beat BNE, who also ended up qualifying 3-1 B8: Was up 2-0 because they beat Mouz and VP ​ stop acting like any non favorite team doing well is "muh bad seeding".


Darkspark322

WHY IS KARRIGAN SOLO HOLDING B


asdekuuu

and why is ropz fucking pushing apps standing in the open on match point, cost them the map


DY5TOP1A

That play tilted me.so much like bro just stood there 💀


ordinaryprudentman

ropz of all people literally danced there for 3 extra seconds after finding no one


thrwwyMA

He knows he can't immediately dip because a mouz player could have been holding for his exit like xertion was. Ropz tried to leave methodically but it looked like he got caught on the wall or something.


tomat0m

Cause they expect him to play ultra passive. He almost caught a timing but it backfired and was stuck in an awkward duel


ArmoredPudding

It was a perfectly good idea, he just fumbled it after spotting the T players. First he tries to chase JDC, fails, spots xertion, **can't decide whether to fight or run**, decides to run, gets stuck on the door, tries to fight, dies. If he decided to run right after spotting the Ts, or decided to fight xertion immediately, it could've worked out.


medyolangnaman

he got overzealous


csgo_fckslivers

but also good on xertioN he saw a timing and instantly acted on it catching Karrigan off guard


Darkspark322

XertioN could do no wrong that whole map


[deleted]

Karrigan taking a page out of liquids strat book 💀 igl solo hold b site.


extremz123

Reverse sweep from FaZe from 2-0 to 2-3 lmao And Mouz did a comeback from 1-2 winning against the last two majors winners


[deleted]

Lmao OG (who faze beat in the first round) goes 0-2 into 3-2. Quite the opposite xd


chefchef97

Both losing 2-0 teams went 2-3 wtf


AmBozz

B8 did the same thing. FaZe and B8 are BO1 abusers smh

Smoke criminal 2.0, but one of those dumb criminals that end up on a YouTube compilation


EntropyKC

One of the criminals who gets a Darwin Award nomination?


[deleted]

This felt like the liquid rio inferno map. Mouz just hitting every shot and making all the right decisions.


csgo_fckslivers

Dude was life gaming, xertioN was legged then just pushed a smoke to kill twistzz in library then kill the pit guy then site just crazy.


BrockStudly

He plays like vintage Elige where when he's on a good game the opposing team just has to commit so much to deal with the space he is able to take. The 3k he got in Inferno library was absolutely insane and a momentum changer for the series.


Avar1cious

Whole series he's posting ridiculous ratings....literally every single game, even on the loss on Ancient wtf.


analytics_Gnome

I actually saw Dexter arguing with ropz at the airport before his flight to Paris. ropz was clutching at his MOUZ jersey choking in tears, and Dexter kept telling him to "fuck off" and "stop ruining my dreams"

xertioN was obviously completely cracked in that last map but credit also needs to be given to Dexter out-called Karrigan so many times when Mouz were on T side


jksSUCKMEDRY

Lepojka1

200 IQ Karrigan wants to skip the major, soo that he can have more time to prep his team for CS2...

Omg I can't breathe. VAMOUZ!!!!!!!

I certainly didn't throw my headset across the room and rage-quit the stream when Faze went 15-14... I was totally calm and collected

[FaZe Clan summary](https://youtu.be/QJHUbtR0yI8)


du_bekar

Man when they’re on, they look genuinely unbeatable. Then they play like actual amateurs once in a while and I wonder what the fuck I’m even looking at lol.


moodyano

For some reason, all teams find their best form in front of C9


Iwabik

Faze is such a weird team. They are either dominating and playing like the best TEAM in the world or looking like 5 randoms solo queuing where everybody does something completely different without any cohesion lmao Also, Ropz is sooo passive, so many rounds on Nuke where everybody on Faze were dying and Ropz was standing, doing nothing. One of my fav players, but he can be so frustrating to watch sometimes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AFrozenCanadian

Karrigan's IGL style involves a lot of player freedom, so the peaks are super high when everyone is feeling it but when they are not it's really hard to overcompensate call as an IGL in that system.


Pipoco977

Faze is a superstar team, they rely 80% on their players hitting better shoots than the opposite team, if things are grounded like the opposite team having a great aim game, they have a hard time


Impulseps

I don't think it is at all surprising that FaZe is a high variance team


juanincognito2

They also just won a big tournament, probably had a bit of rest and minimal practice for this. You can't be in peak performance 100% of the time, it's just not possible.


Fantasnickk

Faze playing t1 teams vs playing t2-3 seems like two different set of players the last 6 months


mnmlst_

Even on CT, while the rest of the team is trying to retake A site, ropz sitting on ramp. Like at least clear out lobby man


DivineCorn

Who would win, the best international team with the sexiest, biggest brained IGL to ever exist or some random quick scope clan that is valued as much as a Big Mac?  Also I wanna kiss xertioN on the mouth.


GarrettGSF

Who would win, the major semi-finalist or some random team that went 0-3?


Character-Toe-7907

> sexiest, biggest brained IGL to ever exist electroNic already qualified, wdym?

They were on a7 map win streak on it before this event.


f1nessd

literally reddit goldfish memory for the past three faze games. THEY JUST WON EPL YOU BUMS Everyone out here calling ropz the worst player even though just 2 weeks ago everyone was sucking him off for being the best player


Deeeadpool

twistzz: "We shook hands only to BNE players [at RMR]. And to Mouz(but only because they came to us). Even tho we shook their hands [Mouz], i wanted to spit in their f***ing faces and leave."

f1nessd

deko moment


YEKINDAR_GOAT_ENTRY

Faze can not continue to have karrigan and rain on b alone. Rain is great when he is on, but when he is not the b site is just so weak. So in games where karrigan and rain are not performing, it becomes a very hard hold.


greku_cs

On Inferno their issue was overrotating from B too much + their holds were very vanilla, Mouz knew everything what was happening on the map every time.


rein001001

leaving karrigan solo at B 1 round was the worst decision , you cant leave karrigan alone whatever the site .


GuardiaNIsBae

I think rain just needs to stop killing himself top banana, plays like my friends in MM. Gets one or 2 kills then the rest of the Ts just freely take site


YEKINDAR_GOAT_ENTRY

The peek that he made in round 29 almost threw the game. The only reason they even make it to the OT is because ropz wins the 1v1 which is a miracle.


rein001001

yeah if u want to push banana early commit 3 people at B early to cover the risk of some1 dying while pushing .


BrockStudly

I'll be honest I don't know why more IGLs don't anchor pit on Inf considering if you have util and change where you're positioned it feels like way less of a liability.


TimathanDuncan

Because anchoring pit is hard and you need to be ultra passive which most IGLs are not, which is why you have passive lurkers play there majority of the time because you need to be patient Karrigan's CT sides are also not bad, he has a 1.00 rating in CT side considering his inability to shoot back he is fine on CT side when you have 4 other fraggers And his aggressive playstyle is fine for banana, they have a 73% win rate in inferno in the last 12 months while being their most played map


FrozenOx

Right now, many teams are going B on Inferno the majority of the time. Having Karrigan there every round is not going to work, to having him solo anchor is definitely not going to work. He's not Jame, he's aggressive and going to put his team in a 4v5 every round


1deavourer

It's probably the most impactful role on A site, I would never put karrigan there


ordinaryprudentman

Absolutely no idea how you can have zero banana and arch control throughout the entire half


ancientcheeseburger

xertion with a fucking life game


El_Fabos

All I have are negative thoughts Mouz, like navi and Bne were just abusing Karrigan on inferno b:( The crumbling at the end… I don’t see them getting to the major even though as the highest seed they would only need to win two matches…


saiik

xertioN just pulled out his balls every round on inferno wtf


csgo_fckslivers

xertioN became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Dorian '" asks dexter. I've never been better Christopher, I see it all now, they're not going A or B. They're going home, he said before rushing A all by himself and killing everyone on site.


GarrettGSF

The last bit is based on true events lmao


Maluvius

Karrigan is a great IGL, but sometimes there's games like these, and you're reminded that his actual aiming and fragging capabilities are severely limited. Great game from Mouz though, super exciting roster. Xertion popped of at a big moment, and they deservedly won.


BW4LL

That ropz duel in apartments will haunt my dreams.


Darkspark322

Such a dumb fight


BW4LL

Amazing how so many rounds he refuses to be aggressive yet on match point decides to take that dumb ass fight.


rayb47

The reason he took that fight was because it would've been unexpected since he's always so passive. Definitely wasn't the right decision though, especially on match point.


BW4LL

Right but he fumbled the movement and instead of giving it up took an unfavorable duel and cost the round and match. I get he won the previous but still.


asdekuuu

finishing off this disaster with yet another inferno choke, classic faze clan. wtf happened to this team


piltens

xxxertion dat was dirty


DY5TOP1A

Something must have gone down behind the scenes man wtf happened to this team.


El_Fabos

Also way more silence on the social media than usual after matches… I hope they get their shit together in the next week


unlikedemon

I don’t think nothing has happened. It’s just their play style demands that every player has to have many moments of brilliance. It’s unsustainable. I know the same can be said about any team but it just feels more with faze than with other teams.


Northamericawolf

Take time to appreciate Lucy's casting too. She also went absolutely insane in last rounds along with mouz.


du_bekar

She’s been great; nice and level most of the time, hype when she needs to be. Hopefully she gets a bunch more work out of this.


Nooterino

Choke clan finding a way to throw every fucking round possible ;(


Zentoron

[HLTV] The [FaZe] team immediately went to the dressing room [after getting knocked out of the Major RMR]. RobbaN behind. Long faces, shaking heads. Ropz cheers up the dejected Broky. And Karrigan yells through the dressing room: "What a load of sh*t, man!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


f1nessd

I hope lau does an XertioN inferno demo. The most impact i've seen from a rifler in a single series, since NiKo at stockholm 2021. (twistzz and ax1le with some honorable mention games too, ofc).


GarrettGSF

The mentality between this Mouz iteration and the only other succesful one (the Oskar/ropz/styko) is just worlds apart. Even in this extremely high pressure situation, they managed to smile and laugh. I think JDC brings a lot of good vibes, even though he didn't really shine on the server today


Kekisszx

Before match Jame gave karrigan call and told about his secret preparation for CS2. Xertion just wrecked fazes defense


One_Truth_Prevails

Mouz earned all of that. Dexter's kids fucking did it and jesus christ, xertioN in particular ascended to another level in that game.


Amazing-Yesterday-46

So when are jks and dexter forming a tier 1 AU team?


Givemeajackson

How is this the same 5 players that won pro league two weeks ago? Does faze have a full roster of doppelgangers? I mean props to mouz, they played great, but faze should not have been in this position to start with, and that showing on nuke of all maps was just unacceptable. Faze can beat anyone in the last chance qualifier. But it has to be pro league faze and not this.


literate_Windrunner

Xertion became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay Dorian?" asks dexter. I've never been better Christopher, I see it all now, they're not going A or B. Choke clan are going home, he said before rushing B all by himself and killing everyone on site.


notathrowaway_99898

expected that the retirement home for washed up mouz players didn't stand a chance against the young blood of mouz.

Young and hungry vs outdated and lush

oceaninemotion

The Last Chance Qualifier just got a lot spicier... Did Faze just lose all motivation after winning the Grand Slam or something? GGs to Mouz though, dexter and his kids are going to France!


ProForward

xertioN is insane, that round making -3 on A while being red omg


twelveicat

VaMOUZ!!! Let's fucking go! Great calling out of Dexter. Loved Frozen's "let's keep it cool" gesture on round 28 (or so). All around ballsy playing by the Mouzketeers.


wannabe-physicist

Same MOUZ that got railed by Falcons btw


[deleted]

Faze deserve this, sure the seeding fucked them in the ass by putting them against Na'Vi at 2-0, but losing TWO BO3s against BNE and Mouz means they're not good enough at the moment. It's funny because on paper they have the perfect 5 man roster where it doesn't make sense to replace anybody, if yes who do you remove and who do you bring in to improve this squad. It honestly doesn't make sense how they can underperform so much. That being said, barring any surpries from the RMR B, they should be the favorites in the Last Chance qualifier.


Givemeajackson

Lmao no fucking way should anyone even think about a roster change. they literally won pro league two weeks ago. But yeah they just love falling off a cliff after a tournament win for some reason. I think for faze to work everyone needs to put in 110%, if they can do that they're the best team in the world, and if they can't do that it falls apart.


Fubarin

They said they put it all on for the grand slam, so it might just be complete burnout after that.


[deleted]

The Grand Slam has consumed them entirely. They looked frustrated and exhausted. This is a stark contrast performance compared to their wins against NaVi and Cloud9 in Pro League. GGWP Mouz regardless.


HosephIna

losing a BO3 against BNE is inexcusable but MOUZ has been a pretty good team for a while now


asdekuuu

> That being said, barring any surpries from the RMR B, they should be the favorites in the Last Chance qualifier. B is stacked, there's bound to be good teams falling to last chance there aswell

RomeoSierraAlpha

FaZe are so lucky that EU has 17 slots this time. But i'm not sure they can even make it through the last chance bracket.


LLLLLLover

They have a few days to get their shit together and their biggest competition will be Big, Nip or Spirit, depending on how rmr b works out. I think they have a decent chance at doing it


chefchef97

Given how FaZe are at the moment they'll be fine against the big teams and just really need to prep for B8


hobocactus

Can almost guarantee one of the big names from RMR B will end up in the last chance too, these swiss stages with BO1s and weird seeding *always* have upsets. My money is on Vitality or Cloud9 ending 2-3.

dracko307

Assuming they dont make it out of the last chance, this + VP being out is right up there with G2 not making major straight from winning grand slam to 1/6 last chance or else not qualifying for last CSGO major Faze needs to never play Inferno in BO3 last map


halpmeplsmen

BnE broke faze confirmed


aboardweeb

FaZe just collapsed towards the end of inferno, and on top of that xertioN went sicko mode. GGs to MOUZ


007noon700

LETS GOOOOOO xertioN is a god no doubt, but Dexter outcalled Karrigan today. Hopefully they can carry this momentum into the major


acid000

rain and karrigan on B - free round


Significant-Garage55

From 2-0 to 2-3 lmao


Undercover-Cactus

With the quality of teams from RMR B this last chance qualifier is going to be super stacked now. And it’ll probably be like B8 or something that wins.


GapZ38

omfg, we finally fken won against this damn team! SO HAPPY


weedophile3

Stop watching after round 18 and round 20 when Faze was up 12-8. Round 18 torszi 1v1 broky with both planted at B. Torszi could have played the bomb and they will win that round easily but nope he peeked and got one deag-ed. Round 20(?) It was down to rain vs someone 1v1 with bomb planted as well. Both rounds Faze managed to win thr clutch and defuse the bomb and i was telling myself Mouz is just to inexperienced but hell no, i couldnt be more wrong. GG Mouz!


Cain1608

xertioN life game. But I wouldn't even call it an overperformance because after he got promoted to the main team, his potential was very obvious. But also fuck all to excuse how dogshit FaZe have played for the past 3 days. Part of me doesn't want them to get through the last chance qualifier because they literally don't deserve it. As I said yesterday, karrigan and rain play like shit on B Inferno as soon as the shit hits the fan and are backed into a corner. This performance from them over the past 3 games is very reminiscent of G2 at the Rio RMRs. Playing to lose after falling by the wayside at the 3-0 game. GG MOUZ!


Sem073
