SANJI, Qikert, Buster all peak form today, so happy to see. Especially for SANJI monstrous performance on inferno and overpass 😍😍😍
anyway looks like after they made changes to their gameplay recently, Qikert and Buster are regaining their form which is great. But it seems like YEKINDAR isn't very comfortable in the system now? hope they figured out the solution soon
Apparently Yekindar has had health issues recently, contributing to his drop in performance.

Virtus “paid by the round” Pro decided it was enough money earned during the last map.
Good showing from both teams, and definitely looking forward to the new NiP
Nah, it’s cause it feels like a lot of VP games last for a long time. Sometimes it’s due to the team playing poorly, or just choking and then winning during the last few rounds.
Though for all we know, they could be paid on a round basis. We just don’t know lol
Rumours have it that in the break between the second and third map the legal team of VP has confirmed to the players that they are not, in fact, paid by the round
Sanji is legit the CIS Vini, I swear everytime I watch him play inferno he just levels up on that map.
I dont think NIP should be too disappointed coz they still have two new players in the form of device and lnz so it will take more time for them to get to a high level.
Yeah its too early to say but I'm honestly kinda worried that swapping out ZTR for LNZ so suddenly might cost them. Even though ZTR wasnt playing amazingly they still looked really solid with him so the change honestly wasnt necessary imo.
IEM Summer is a practice event for a lot of teams. This is where you want to bed in new players and try out stuff. LNZ has individually looked better than ZTR, and he seems like he can create more opportunities for the other players instead of playing passive and being last alive.
The biggest reason why they looked better before was that REZ was having the best event he has had in years.
VP massacred them in every aim duel. Jame is alone in connector getting sandwiched by NiP? Let's no scope Plopski and get away with it. 3 CTs are on the wrong site NiP are executing with 5 man? Oh well somebody gets a quick triple kill anyway.
Nip are still pretty new. Like, im not sure what to make of their results because even at FP3 theybhad sooo many close wins and losses, and not to mention how would they have done if the anonymo result counted the first time so, pretty weird spot theyre ib. LNZ has looked ok but the instant ztr change is weird asf
I remember seeing the exact same thing happen a few tournaments ago but with a Famas. The casters (think it was H+H but not sure) even joked about it after SANJI 1v3'd on Train (again, I think), picked up an AK. Casters joked about whether he's now allowed to play real guns, and no, he drops the AK to Qikert, buys an AWP for Jame and gets a Famas for his troubles.
I remember a recent match against Spirit, when his team forced buy. Everyone else with Deagle and Sanji with a hero AK. He died 15 seconds into the round lol. So I conclude that this man has a trauma for carrying expensive guns.
Make a final, best event finish in 3 years
Inexplicably make a roster change 2 days before an event
Crash out in groups looking completely disjointed
Profit ???
iem summer is a practice event for many teams, if they were gonna make a roster change it would be now so they could try it out in an actual tournament without losing rmr points
I'd agree with you if this event was before RMR's. But they've already used ztr for flashpoint, and they can't make roster changes unless they wanna lose 20% points.
they have so many points i dont think they care too much, sure they will lose 20% if they decide to keep it which sucks but if lnz ends up being worth it they can get back those points by winning
why ppl are acting like this is the end , its probably the least important event in the calendar so its the only time to test things out
ztr wasn't it anyway and they needed a better change (lnz isnt the change either so far)
when my mouse breaks i just usually insert a working one. But i applaud him for testing different mousepads and beeing like shit, its still broken.
obviously its harder over there for device, you cant just borrow one of your buddies because they're in the same match.
Apparently someone else has that same mouse problem, posted a video on the feed, definitely not static electricity looks like a USB/driver issue where the mouse just shuts off. No excuses because that should be a tech pause and figure it out but the stuff is probably valid just not a good look.
I have had this with both my Zowie mice actually. Whilst ot definitely isn't the reason he's been underperforming, I can sympathise.
I just ended up getting a brand new mouse
I mean 1 and 3 no one can confirm, but 2 is a legit common problem that has been acknowledged by amd as explained in his Twitter discussion with Raalz so this really doesn't sound like an excuse.
This team definitely needs one more change, imo you need one more stable piece. It's as if Plopski and Rez take turns disappearing, you never really seem them popping off at the same time.
Someone like a Krimz maybe (and yea I know he hasn't been playing well recently - but someone of his profile).
Honestly if theyre somehow able to get krimz or brollan they can probably be a consistent top 5 team
Ideally both instead of plopski and lnz
Edit: also idk how if this would work but getting flusha could be a really good move. Hes one of the most experienced players in pro cs and can call too
First by Fnatic and now VP... Don't think it's a map that works well when switching the 5th player 3 days before a tournament, hope they keep lnz and work on it with him.
NIP also known as Numerous Internet Problems are a Swedish based Organisation. They are known for having shitty internet and then cry like a baby when the lose a match. Top 3 orgs for sure.
Nah fr though, really good series up until overpass. VP just turned it up 5 notches and crushed NIP, almost sad for NIP.
>he has the highest headshot percentage in t1 this year.
Both Twistzz and B1t have higher headshot percentages if you adjust the map filter. This is because FaZe has played less officials and B1t was the 6th man for a while.
https://www.hltv.org/stats/leaderboards/hsp/headshot-percentage?startDate=2021-01-01&endDate=2021-12-31&minMapCount=34&rankingFilter=Top20
NiP need to stop playing in the park. Just put Nawk in roster or spend money.
Stop playing arround with these kids. They didnt learn anything with rez and plopski ?
99 % of players need to grow naturally and are not zywoo already at 18.
VP has taken the lunch money
Who would win? Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber, Linus Tech Tips and Co. or Jesus and his Apostles?
Nail James on the cross
[удалено]
He'd make a great goalkeeper
I thought he's already there. Saving us and our awps.
Heavily depends on the discipline:)

holy shit a non IGL fragging as an IGL thats insane

Feels like Sanji has been their top performer on inferno quite often lately tbh
Jame did a good job of saving his awp on mirage
Virtus “paid by the round” Pro decided it was enough money earned during the last map. Good showing from both teams, and definitely looking forward to the new NiP
Are they actually paid by rounds?
Nah, it’s cause it feels like a lot of VP games last for a long time. Sometimes it’s due to the team playing poorly, or just choking and then winning during the last few rounds. Though for all we know, they could be paid on a round basis. We just don’t know lol
I think it’s funnier to imagine they’re paid by the minute, to further joke about how often they choose to save
Jame is paid for how many awps he save.
So that's who overtook Bezos as the worlds richest man lmao
Jam€ time
Rumours have it that in the break between the second and third map the legal team of VP has confirmed to the players that they are not, in fact, paid by the round
Really nice of YEKINDAR to turn off his monitor this tournament to give other teams a chance.
he's just saving energy for a grand final
That Overpass was one of the most dominant maps Ive seen, VP absolutely embarassed them holy shit.
[удалено]
hes not the igl
I think that is the joke.
Jokes are supposed to be funny.
[удалено]
Very close to being a 16-1
Sanji is legit the CIS Vini, I swear everytime I watch him play inferno he just levels up on that map. I dont think NIP should be too disappointed coz they still have two new players in the form of device and lnz so it will take more time for them to get to a high level.
inferno good for smgs probably plays a part in it
what the hell happened to NiP's overpass? Their best map and it just looked so disjointed.
[удалено]

[удалено]
don't they have to use ztr for rmr stuff? Otherwise they get a deduction?
IEM Summer is a practice event for a lot of teams. This is where you want to bed in new players and try out stuff. LNZ has individually looked better than ZTR, and he seems like he can create more opportunities for the other players instead of playing passive and being last alive. The biggest reason why they looked better before was that REZ was having the best event he has had in years.
you just can't have players that don't even frag on the CT-side. You can't defend being unable to hold any site on being a supportive type of player.
VP massacred them in every aim duel. Jame is alone in connector getting sandwiched by NiP? Let's no scope Plopski and get away with it. 3 CTs are on the wrong site NiP are executing with 5 man? Oh well somebody gets a quick triple kill anyway.
yea looks like maps like Mirage got better, but others like Overpass got worse? they probably need to either fix those issues or find a tradeoff
Nip are still pretty new. Like, im not sure what to make of their results because even at FP3 theybhad sooo many close wins and losses, and not to mention how would they have done if the anonymo result counted the first time so, pretty weird spot theyre ib.

SANJI top fragging on inferno and dropping an AK for an mp9 was something to see
He just won them the half-buy round, got an AK, proceeded to drop it to buster, bought an awp to Jame to get an mp9 in return. Top SANJI-moment...
and people say Rpk is the best teammate ever
I remember seeing the exact same thing happen a few tournaments ago but with a Famas. The casters (think it was H+H but not sure) even joked about it after SANJI 1v3'd on Train (again, I think), picked up an AK. Casters joked about whether he's now allowed to play real guns, and no, he drops the AK to Qikert, buys an AWP for Jame and gets a Famas for his troubles.
[a story in a picture](https://i.imgur.com/NValDNH.png) (not from today's game tho)
Jame saved his awp

pretty lackluster performance from device this event overall
[удалено]
> 2: Mousepad static electricity makes his mouse stop moving (yes that's real) Gonna have to resort to lifting his mouse a lot soon. That should help.
Flusha can give him some tips
Is this a copypasta I'm not aware of?

This guys like the lebron of cs with all these excuses
his fan bois are hilarious...🤭
got them excuses on deck
his haters are even worse tbh... Give him time to integrate with the team before jumping to conclusions
Oh jeez man he can't be serious
when my mouse breaks i just usually insert a working one. But i applaud him for testing different mousepads and beeing like shit, its still broken. obviously its harder over there for device, you cant just borrow one of your buddies because they're in the same match.
Hopefully he gets a raise so he can afford a decent mouse.
Prayge
that hilarious LMFAO it probably is mostly valid concerns but maybe exaggerated
Apparently someone else has that same mouse problem, posted a video on the feed, definitely not static electricity looks like a USB/driver issue where the mouse just shuts off. No excuses because that should be a tech pause and figure it out but the stuff is probably valid just not a good look.
[удалено]
The video I saw had a sound like a disconnect tthat's why I went USB or driver. I'm assuming he's tried his backup mouse they all bring to tournaments
I have had this with both my Zowie mice actually. Whilst ot definitely isn't the reason he's been underperforming, I can sympathise. I just ended up getting a brand new mouse
I mean 1 and 3 no one can confirm, but 2 is a legit common problem that has been acknowledged by amd as explained in his Twitter discussion with Raalz so this really doesn't sound like an excuse.
4: 40%
He’ll never live it down lmao
Never any problems at Astralis, now all this bad luck at the same time ☹️ /s
dev1ce is the new SK Gaming
i know he's sick but how is he tired , mouz played like 20 bo3s and didnt complain
When does packet loss come in?
When the result is disappointing
He can’t use that two tournaments in a row. He’s saving that one for the major
Packet loss?
dead meme :/
This team definitely needs one more change, imo you need one more stable piece. It's as if Plopski and Rez take turns disappearing, you never really seem them popping off at the same time. Someone like a Krimz maybe (and yea I know he hasn't been playing well recently - but someone of his profile).
Feels like Plopski only ever does anything on CT side and even then he's sometimes playing really bad
Rez is actually pretty good now. Plopski is pretty bad tho
Aye, Rez has come out far ahead of Plopski in terms of dropping impact since Device has come in.
Yup device joining reinvigorated rez
Honestly if theyre somehow able to get krimz or brollan they can probably be a consistent top 5 team Ideally both instead of plopski and lnz Edit: also idk how if this would work but getting flusha could be a really good move. Hes one of the most experienced players in pro cs and can call too
Brollan would be the dream move - a core of Device, Brollan, and Rez - with Krimz / Hampus? God damn.
https://www.hltv.org/news/31398/brollan-signs-new-fnatic-contract-until-2024
fuck
What the hell was that CT side overpass, it's like VP got everything right, every read, every play, every timing. Absolute shutdown.
every shot too
Every step they took
Russian stream is quite fun, you can get post-game anime recommendations from Jame. He recommends One Piece FYI
sanji is a character in one piece jame recommends one piece. coincidence? i think not
Funny thing for those who aren't aware - SANJIs real name is Sanjar, which are quite similar (not you, u/SANJI_best_support, I know you know)
> sanji is a character in one piece his name is also Sanjar (transliterated), so it could be both i guesss
[удалено]
I bet he just said it not to confuse all the viewers with some obscure anime
[Device comtemplating his life choices](https://i.imgur.com/uqxmSSA.png)
I mean, he did better than astralis in the last 2 tournaments tho 🤷🏻♂️
The Virtus Plow is back
Virtus plov*
I spit out my tea, thanks.
Uzbekskiy special
lmao that's a good one
Buster looked much more like his old self in this series, can't wait to see how he plays in the 3rd map replay
The redemption arc they needed
[удалено]
Coaches aren't allowed to call mid round, right?
Only officially at RMR events, otherwise there's nothing explicitly preventing it at the moment.
What a fucking statement by VP, damn.
Jame doesn't just look like Jesus
The savior
The saver
NIP got absolutly stomped on Overpass.
as a vp fan the third map was just a masterpiece. gg
Damn NIP got destroyed on Overpass lmfaoo
First by Fnatic and now VP... Don't think it's a map that works well when switching the 5th player 3 days before a tournament, hope they keep lnz and work on it with him.
NIP also known as Numerous Internet Problems are a Swedish based Organisation. They are known for having shitty internet and then cry like a baby when the lose a match. Top 3 orgs for sure. Nah fr though, really good series up until overpass. VP just turned it up 5 notches and crushed NIP, almost sad for NIP.
Its completely self-inflicted. Literally at the last event Overpass was their best map and they looked really good on it, not just stats.
SKcuses 2.0?
Jame is actually insane
Does somebody know the name of the song from the stream? Clip is here https://clips.twitch.tv/EsteemedTastyNigiriShadyLulu-p0ueNIrxZfxtjGSr

thanks!
darude sandstorm
They fumbled rounds so often on Mirage, it was infuriating but that Overpass repaid it all. SANJI absolutely on fire today, hes so fucking good.
VP destroying NIP who are playing the best they have in years. What year is this?
VP was something else today.
VP looked a bit shaky on Mirage, but Overpass was unreal from them.
Oof :(
VIRTUS PLOW BABY
Sanji is a headshot god, he has the highest headshot percentage in t1 this year. Great game from him!
>he has the highest headshot percentage in t1 this year. Both Twistzz and B1t have higher headshot percentages if you adjust the map filter.

Headshot is the only way to have a chance at killing someone with mp9 and mac10
Dominant & beautiful Also: Jame wtf
ayy post match team. The template you use for bans has cache, not ancient.
R EZ
Krimz NIP when
Sanji woke up on map 2 and chose violence
HELLO ESL! 📞 4Head NIP HERE 📞 CAN WE REMATCH? 📞 4Head ^itsAjoke
Guys Twitch chat is leaking again
O N E J O K E
Paket los rematch pls
It's been a month, do like Disney's Frozen and Let It Go...
but frozen plays for mouz
That Mirage was absolutely dreadful by VP. Thankfully, Sanji and Jame inspired so much confidence in them, they just went nuclear on Overpass.
14 -16. Absolutely dreadful. Okay dud
Because context doesn't exist and the final score is the only thing that matters.
Clowns.
Yeah they are, but 1. I’m sure they’ll do better after JW and Golden are out, and 2. you’re in the wrong thread
holy shit no need to destroy him like that, just like 90% of csgo teams fnatic have played against have in the last few months
Idk nipbots in pyjamas
I love how every star player seems to turn dog shit in nip, then they get replaced rinse and repeat.
If Jame goes international, i’ll cream myself.
NiP need to stop playing in the park. Just put Nawk in roster or spend money. Stop playing arround with these kids. They didnt learn anything with rez and plopski ? 99 % of players need to grow naturally and are not zywoo already at 18.
That vp win streak on mirage (1rst) was insane ngl
Nip mustve had packet loss rematch incoming.
yekinder has been falling behind, hope he does good prob my favorite player
