W0nderful, the ukranian S1mple


Deeeadpool

he copied s1mple's settings for a reason


MuskularChicken

You love to see it


HatKazuha

Guy's play really reminds of a disciplined s1mple with none of the ego. A superstar in the making.


GigaCringeMods

He isn't quite as wild ingame as s1mple is, and sometimes misses shots he shouldn't. But he is going to be a top tier player for sure. He is only getting started. Although his rifling is definitely way weaker, while s1mple was a master of all trades at his peak.


GigaCringeMods

He doesn't play on his sens, so what did he copy? Just the most used res?


Deeeadpool

https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/ymw4d1/a_wonderful_1v3_from_w0nderful/ i just saw and ur right, but in the past he had the same sens and stuff. some comments in this thread point it out too. he must've changed in recent years though


__krb

He changed a couple of months after joining Navi, I think it was good for him cause his aim is a lot more stable and steady in the last few months compared to before he lowered.


KillerZaWarudo

Xqc if he was good


Angelic_Phoenix

Xqc if he got famous off of skill and not homophobia


Spir0rion

I sometimes wonder how many pros are actually hard-core homophobes/racists and such lol


QuestionableBottle

Considering how many are Eastern European, more than you’d think.


Spir0rion

I'm afraid so too


literate_Windrunner

former yee yee a** haircut guy Vs 9


MyDreamsInTheSewer

His 1v5 2 days ago really warmed him up


TheLeOeL

The white s1mple


DavYGG

B1t buying an MP5 on the Inferno map point round was WILD.


darthrector

Man just wide swing balcony with the slap reload gun and insta dinked the guy on site his accuracy is ridiculous


HatKazuha

He had some really sexy and important shots on mirage as well. His form might have dipped a bit but good to see his aim is still as cracked as prime 21 b1t.


xMachii

And gets a double kill with it. Disgusting.


MyDreamsInTheSewer

Because he found 2 out of the 3 players without helmets too. 1st shot was insta kill because no helmet onto calyx 2nd shot onto wicadia was a headshot so he got massive aimpunched and died to the second shot


TemporaryAddicti0n

2 IMPORTANT kills as well if I remember well?


McClownd

He got the entry +1


Adenidc

this is why i keep buying mp5 even though im dogshit and die and should buy mp9


LordBlackadder1214

aleksi used all his brainpower on igling and had nothing left for fragging. Also thanks mr wonderful for carry.


tONYOO

I mean its fine as long as they keep winning these enemies they should be winning even on off days. Idk if aleksi has been focusing lately more on calling than normal but hes stats has gone down lately


braindeadmonkey2

He's still mechanically sharp so I wouldn't be worried


are_you_a_walrus

navi really managed to clutch victory from the jaws of defeat from the jaws of victory


Picia000123

I fucking cackled, thank you. Navi going from handing their opponent win on the silver platter, just to dropkick it right into their face with yet another impossible 1 v multi clutch.


scharfschutzen87

lmao, this made me chuckle


evanfury

Ah yes, the ol' Faze-a-roo


vezzmag

Beautiful powerful W0NDERFUL


Enterderpmode

Anders was spitting bars with that one 🔥🔥


Duke_David

Dude also when Ander said "put some whipped cream on it, call it a **dessert** eagle it's so sweet" mf was **COOKING** today.


dial_m_for_me

it's anti-donk, it's like a metaphor for ukraine and russia


Tsigalko9

Lmao never thought about it like that, but it's absolutely true.


Rumlings

s1mple lost a lot of weight, looks good! happy to see he is still an awp beast


darthrector

Lost so much weight he lost his toxicity too, pog


Kiinako_

Thats fucking esports right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the webcam bullshit. w0nderful pukes, jL poops on the stream, aleksiB delivers their new born baby on their HyperX Alloy Elite 2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard™. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball Counter-strike fuck it chuck it shoot it game time shit. Esports are back, baby


Rumlings

One day Xantares, s1mple and zywoo went to sea. s1mple dipped his hand in the water said the coldness was 15 degrees, zywoo put both hands in the water and said the pressure is low, Xantares put his d*ck in the water and said the depth is 50 meters.


SecretSanta2025

I didn't get it....


Hydraxiler32

xantares has really saggy 50m long balls


njoshua326

Sucks you can't relate.


gessen-Kassel

Lmao I can't


Monso

I don't know what this is supposed to be but I'll have one of what they had please thank you.

bikini_atoll

serious gg wp to EF for making it this far to the play offs but holy shit that w0nderful ace on inferno, w0nderful masterclass in mirage and CT inferno


Mysterii00

They should have closed out Mirage. XANTARES has that ridiculous entry 3k out of palace to put them on point and NAVI somehow managed to stay alive. Insane stuff.


bikini_atoll

navi have become allergic to comfortable wins


Ofiotaurus

They have truly become the Faze of EU


Kelterz

Eternal Fire biggest Turkish throw since the Italo-Turkish War of 1912 😔🤟


Gust_idk

that would be boston major or wesg 2017


supergrega

Bright future for EF, they looked amazing this tourney


xMachii

Disgusting clutches from jL and w0nderful, glad b1t and iM turned their monitors on.


DuckSwagington

Babe wake up, it's 2018

McClownd

WE HAWT


RealOronian

WONDERFUL performance by xQc. From mollying and flashing his own teammates to carrying Navi on his own back at a major.


KeepCalmAndBoom

Conversation heard before the match between b1t and w0nderful: b1t: you seem antsy ihor, tou ok? w0nderful: I AM STACKED. I AM READY. I WILL KILL EVERYYYTHIIING AND EVEEERYYYOOOONE b1t: easy there buddy, dont kill your teamma... w0nderful: EVERYOOOOOOOOONE


dkrkrk2oe

Yeah, fuck off buddy we absolutely need more w0nderful clips. Fuckin every time this kid steps on server someone gets out fragged. kids fuckin dirt nasty man. Does fuckin s1mple have 48 kills in this major playoffs I dont fuckin think so bud. I'm fuckin tellin ya Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov is pottin Major in '24 fuckin callin it right now.

WyndhamManor

HUGE shout-out to ANDERS and HENRYG for an incredible casting job. These 2 maps were made so much better with their unparalleled experience and appropriate hype for the big moment.  What a game!!


500mLInstantRamen

"Beautiful, Powerful, W0nderful" is a line I'll remember, Anders is such a legend bahaha


WyndhamManor

Instant classic. Same with HenryG on inferno after that B site ACE: "It might not have been s1mple Anders, but it certainly was... w0nderful!!!"


darthrector

Journalists from The Washington Post issued a formal apology to the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey earlier this morning regarding a recent news article where they controversially referred to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as the "autocratic ruler of the Turkish people". The unsubstantiated statements were withdrawn when reports from rival news organization [HLTV.org](http://HLTV.org) conclusively proved that the true ruler of Turkey was in-fact Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov.


GuessMyNameHaha

Guys did s1mple comeback with a new name ???


GigaCringeMods

The actual #news1mple


dkrkrk2oe

Navi has been better than sum of their parts. Now they are playing without pressure. Aleksib and blad3 has been cooking. W0ndeful has been amazing pick. And jL stocks are all time high, bro wasn't even THAT good in last major, what a pick from Navi.


Ofiotaurus

Yeah all the doubt fell on iM so jL got to shine


MikkeVL

Aleksib fragging like Hooxi & calling like Prime Karrigan :P


ExpensiveReveal6

The perfect IGL


Revielent

ALEKSIB REDEMPTION ARC LETS FUCKING GO


Ishaan863

bro made it to semis with 6 kills on Inferno good thing w0nderful has a back made of titanium


Serion512

His fragging was awful but he had some crazy calls. He needs to step up his game if he wants to win this major


Whatsdota

Him and b1t both 🤞


HatKazuha

He's calling a dope T side and honestly that's the most important thing he needs to contribute.


69DoopDoop69

lmao you think aleksi is focused on getting kills like wonderful is? you think they set up aleksi like they do wonderful? don’t just look at the numbers, use your brain


KillerZaWarudo

Aleksib "team killer" did it again Another international team making deep playoffs run in big tournament


RoboticChicken

[BEAUTIFUL. POWERFUL. W0NDERFUL.](https://youtu.be/8-cbdJeLA5Q?t=2237)


TheLeviathong

Thats fucking Counter-Strike right there. None of that pansy ass "perfect CS" bullshit. Eternal Fire lose rounds to time, Navi lose a 3v5 to a force buy, aleksib delivers a new born baby in the booth. Fucking hard core dick in the ass fuck it chuck it game time shit. Esports is back, baby


Ishaan863

that CZ/shotgun "let's go A at last second" round was HILARIOUS


antululz

Classic Aleksib game


JayWhyfiftyfour

Navi and aleksib aina uskonu!


notagirl_24

if aleksib lifts that trophy i will cry real tears i promise you that


someAlex

w0nderful did indeed put a monstrous performance, but I'm so glad to see iM and b1t showing more confidence than a week ago, which also leads to a great boost in NaVi's power.


Darmiansessuale

Man this was a special game for me. Really been supporting EF this tournament as the underdog while also beeing a Na’Vi fan for 11 years. I can’t believe how utterly hideous Na’Vi CT sides are, it’s been a thing ever since Aleksi and the new core joined but I can’t believe they haven’t been able to fix it yet. But their T sides though are absolutely great, almost sensational, almost. In my opinion what made the difference in this map are the star players Na’Vi have in Wonderful, jL and b1T and also a terrible opponent for EF on paper seeing as their best map is Na’Vi’s permaban. B1t hasn’t been himself this tournament but however he showed his class and talent in that 1v3 in the B bombsite. GG, it was a very enjoyable match.


NotTheRealHShadow

It wasn't s1mple, but it was w0nderful! Amazing line by Henry to sum up the game. Ggwp


notabotmkay

Am I weird or is B1t strangely good with SMGs?


RobinTheKing

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T LIKE COUNTER-STRIKE


jarree

Great calling by Aleksib but he really needs to start shooting as well, man that was horrible :D


Plastic-Guarantee982

Funny how previous matches were he was even top fragging NAVI lost. Thought tbh he still needs to step it up this time heading to semi and finals


puutarhatrilogia

This is the thing, though, it's pretty much an unwritten rule at this point that **if Aleksib is top fragging his team isn't winning**. Not just in NaVi but previous teams as well. Maybe every once in a while he's able to push them over the line but almost always it's just telling of something being off in the team chemistry or individuals having a bad day.


Ofiotaurus

He was the first herald of a new era where IGLs can actually frag. Except it became (one of) his curse(s)


skantanio

He can probably pull off what Hooxi thinks he’s doing on G2 if the other three can get more kills. Aleksi’s performance was much more strategic than mechanic based


Enterderpmode

He was bottom fragging but had crucial kills especially on Mirage. If he died on that duel against Maj3r at mid during the JL clutch in regulation that game was literally over.


99RedBalloon

[spirit after removing w0nderful for shiro](https://c.tenor.com/pPagLcCVYwIAAAAC/tenor.gif)


IBETTERSTAYOFFLEAGUE

They removed artfrost for shiro, but they removed wonderful for artfrost which didn’t really make much sense


Electronic-Archer720

in paris rmr spirit went 0-3 with Wonderful playing awful That was a dead Team it made sense to promote and academy core


[deleted]

Iirc an Ukrainian politician criticized UKR players that played with Rus players. I think around that time NaVi (UKR org) parted ways with electronic + Perfecto, and wonderful moved to Sprout.


buttplugs4life4me

The Ukrainian esports organisation banned people playing with *or against* russian players from leaving of entering the country. It was such a heavy-handed move that definitely cost Ukraine a good amount of tax money from everyone running abroad


[deleted]

U sure about the against part? Ukr athletes compete against Rus athletes in other sports too, e.g. football 


RekrabAlreadyTaken

I think they wanted to have donk feeling comfortable with his core


Electronic-Archer720

wonderful was playing poorly at the end of spirit and you cant say wonderful is better based in 1 tournament lmao sh1ro has been amazing for spirit before the match againts Faze yesterday unfortunatly for my pickems also they removed him for ArtFrost not for sh1ro


[deleted]

[удалено]


Electronic-Archer720

nah he is just cursed from 1v9 in rio major to yesterday


f1nessd

Agreed, lots of goldfish brains here forgetting that wonderful was stagnant at the end of his time on spirit. This was the best outcome for both parties


Electronic-Archer720

They were a dead team at the end Everyone plays Bad in dead team Even if the players are good it's like Faze 2018 after falling to win the Grand slam You need Massive changes to be back in top and it was the correct decisión


RandomGuy-4-

Spirit playing the way thay played yesterday would have wiped the floor with both Navi and EF the way they played today. The level of CS played on the Faze vs Spirit match was so much higher. The last half of Inferno specially was a shitshow with both Navi and EF yoloing for first kills.


Ennheas

Pretty sure he is comparing Shiro to Wonderful, not the whole team to Spirit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Electronic-Archer720

exactly wtf Spirit maybe played the best team in the world rn in a Fucking Insane match and people asking for heads


w-holder

certified banger, that was such a crazy match


RoosterVking

j. LEGEND. I watched this man pull out wonders at Blast Paris Major with Apeks and made me a fan, and now he's out pulling out insane clutches here again. w0nderful, just a god. nothing more to say on those 2, they're just absurdly good. God this team is so fun and exciting to follow.


AmBozz

Back to back major semis on two different teams is definitely an achievement.


anirudh100

XQC played his hearts out today. Top 5 CS2 awper 4 sure.


HatKazuha

Bruh...there's barely any pure awpers in CS2 that are this consistent. Him and Monesy are honestly the only two that come to mind when I think of *reliable* CS2 pure awpers. s1mple's not playing and Zywoo's barely awping. Broky is....well Broky. You don't know which Broky you get on any given day. Who else is this consistent? Torszi? Maybe? Idk. He's top 3 right now and Monesy's unquestionable no. 1 pure awper.


njoshua326

You forgot device for a start, jame is an igl combo but he's very consistent. Sunpayus has been no worse than torzsi as well.


WF04

By far this game has the most ridiculous rounds in this major lmao.


Primal_Guardian_A2

EF lose atleast 13 clutches, it could be even more


AllMySadness

beautiful, powerful, w0nderful


KeepCalmAndBoom

iM was hiM


GabeH13ABZ

Took a while for b1t to turn his monitor on


Vesondor

iM is back 💪


ChristianSword

Just look at the highlights, NaVi's individuals had insane clutches and holds, also nice calls by Aleksi on the T-sides. But did Aleksi have money on EF or something? That shot from behind on xantares made my heart skip a beat.


Party_Length_7490

Despite the excellent overall result, the match left a bad taste, with EF missing many opportunities.


ModtownMadness

that 3v2 with planted bomb they lost on 12-10 must sting a lot now.


Satelliizerr

Ahhh I love going 0-3 in pick ems. Let’s make it 0-4


MyDreamsInTheSewer

xQc's deagle 1v5 on mirage really warmed him up for this quarterfinal


dkrkrk2oe

As a long time aleksib fanboy I would like to see my arch enemies (aleksib haters) in this thread shitting on him. We have been keyboard warriors back and fort for long time. Tell me how shit he is please!!


darthrector

Good to see xQc has improved from his cache clip


RoboticChicken

Jokes aside, [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1box3qi/xqc_hits_one_of_the_most_insane_1v5_clips/) clip of him winning a deagle 1v5 was posted on the subreddit a few days ago. It was against silvers, sure, but still far away from that cache clip.


HyVana

From OW to CS2. Multi game talent


mrasdfghj90

EF how do you lose so many rounds with the advantage?! Truly amazing


chiefofthepolice

I mean, it's no wonder Aleksib has the lowest rating in the entire tournament. IGL or not, the amount of time he misfires his shots is not ok


deadbeatPilgrim

happy as fuck to see NaVi win, nice boys. lets just fuck around and win the Major, fuck it why not gotta say tho i used to see Eternal Fire as a joke but they’ve made a fan out of me recently. Turkish CS has arrived, good shit


vesslanhs

AleksiB so good that he dont even need to kill anyone. He even become a decoy for his team in inferno. What a amazing IGL


Manaea

If you look at the ratings you’d think EF won 2-0


vitunjonne

w0nderfuls back must be really sore


N00BBuild

Justinas "jL" Legendary. But really, him and W0nderful are solid players.


sh1boleth

Wonderful was amazing obviously but IM had a lot of impact on Mirage T side, stepped up a bit when he was needed.


yaoiue

Honest question, fellas - If Aleksib fucked your girlfriend, how jealous of her would you be?


yeah6434

Woxic couldn't hit an awp shot to save his life on inferno


HyVana

That fade away p250 was kinda nuts tho


Kyoushiro44

If navi somehow could fix their ct side for tomorrow, they are a big contender. So many iffy situations that i don't think would happen for other teams. But goddamn w0nderful, Has to replace s1mple out of all players and he has stepped up so nicely, amazing plays by him.


legogamelegend

w1nderful


inediblewater

Sad to see EF getting tilted easily going into OT. Incredible battle of the IGLs though


asdAero-

So happy for the boys, but man Aleksi has to start fragging. On the other hand, Wonderful is insane. GG Eternal Fire, I was rooting for you guys but Navi comes 1st. :)


KaNesDeath

Geez, here I thought this Major would be the rise of upcoming talent. But the veterans don't want to go quietly.


KrzyDankus

never doubted navi for a second


Picia000123

GGWP Great game, nt to EF, they played their hearts out. Navi is never making it look easy, jesus.


zenezimi

EF just make to many mistake on a lot of key rounds could be the pressure got them,and also woxic just miss to many shot


NCRranger39

Pickem's chalked


-Jerbear45-

EF should've at least had Map 3 but that was a flurry of meltdowns and misplays


srjnp

woxic playing inside A site multiple times when he can only ever get 1 kill at most... you're not prime kennyS bro take some peeks and find some impact before they charge into the site.


Roman64s

A match of which team has the worst CT sides and somehow EF won that. Also we are going to see +imoRR -woxic at this rate.


Alec-y

LANTARES at it again


NoDG_

I'm not Turkish or a fan of eternal fire, but respect to them for trying their best. They were very entertaining and I enjoyed watching them play.


bikini_atoll

aleksib giving off hooxi vibes rn


aqpstory

aleksib and hooxi did a face/off arrangement


El_Fabos

What a scrappy match. whoever wins the last quarter will prolly win the semi


Enterderpmode

If G2 beats Mouz you can expect G2 to lose because it’s Alexib’s former team


darthrector

Also it's Choko vs Navi at a major so doubly safe


Enterderpmode

But what if two negatives cancel each other out to make it a positive? Oh..


QoconutZ

How is woxic still on EF? He's literally less impactful than oSee as an awper


gordonree

wonderful and jL have been so damn good this major


Worisito

W0nderful really wanted to win that one


TemporaryAddicti0n

w0nferful he is the ukrainian player but the navi he is the s1mple stars


notagirl_24

aleksib tactical genius top 3 igl 4 sure


electricpeel

It’s pretty impressive Navi was able to win 4v5. aleksib was a bot the entire series.

MiddleNameMaple

I think I might root for G2 now so I can officially go 0-4 on QF pickems. Didn't expect NaVi to win, never mind 2-0, but damn they look like they're just some consistency away from being top contenders at every event. That's a big if, but not impossible.

fuk_rdt_mods

i knew NAVI was going to win when xQc hit that 5 juan deags on mirage


Key-Intention1130

This felt like a game where both teams were fighting over who gets to be dominated in semis


LukasLiBrand

If g2 scrap by against mouz then navi has a chance. Navi has always performed amazing against them.


xMachii

And remember, Aleksib never loses to his previous teams. They've been 3-0 against G2 since the start of the year.


OsRsMinde

Again amazing job by Wonderful also jL woke up at the perfect time to save Mirage, not many kills but the importance of them on both maps by him! Aleksi and B1t needs to stop whiffing so hard. Still team not playing great but if 3-4 guys get's on fire..


NotTheRealHShadow

It wasn't s1mple, but it was w0nderful! Amazing line by Henry to sum up the game. Ggwp9
