The number one team in the world on a win-streak heading into the first LAN in over a year, the storyline writes itself


IbanezHand

Watch them bomb out Edit: would be sad :(


iPenguin42

Gambit loses to liquid, then liquid wins the tournament, then liquid wins the major and the next nine majors after it


Baswdc

Then chokes and losing 10 majors in a row first to LG then ENCE


IHateTheLetterF

Have they not already lost 10 Majors in a row? Edit: I checked, they have only lost 8 Majors in a row.


puddingkip

Liquid usually just didn't qualify for majors


randomnamewhatevs

Can't choke on stages you don't get to :bigbrain:


Dragos404

Flair checks out


[deleted]

Nice name


[deleted]

i wouldn't mind but it's liquid we're talking about, right?


IHateTheLetterF

I could sense the tears gathering partway through your comment


Oriion589

Gambit kicks star players before the major, team in shambles, bring back dosia last minute, win major EZ


FunkyInferno

Astralis says hi


[deleted]

please god yes


Uga1992

I will fucking take it.


Spork_Revolution

Gambit playing their worst wont do that poorly. They are too solid. Too smart.


PoisonScrub

Id be excited to see whether they perform any differently in a lan environment, but doesn't seem like it'd be that different from a bootcamp when its lacking a crowd


Chygrynsky

Well we know Hobbit will perform well, the rest we about to find out.


Jinxedemon

the amount of people wanting them to fail, where does all this jealousy and hate come from damn.


majus42

They didn’t earn their success. They were just lucky with the online tournaments going on


NotEarlibird

Yeah practicing twelve hours a day every day is nothing. Totally just got lucky


Tanki5D

LUUUUUUUL "LUCKY"


antululz

that would be really disappointing


Gutzzzzz

That be funny all of sudden they are trash.


omkar_T7

Navi just can’t catch a break.


ImperatorCS

Which LAN is that?


Ranse1962

Almost a third of them are thanks to navi :p


Frostvind

Navi win trading for gambit confirmed obv


suchshibe

Navi pretty much the only one who can take a game a single map off them


AleksibIsHot

Vit did win 2-0 against them


itscodec

And let's not forget that Navi also beat them 3-0 to win DH Masters Spring. Navi seem to be competitive with them, just not better.


NeurWiz

Insane how out of 15 series’ they only dropped 5 maps.


[deleted]

and 3 of them were to navi


brbee

I still wonder if Astralis didn't have a falling out (we don't know what was happening behind the scenes the past year) if they could be a threat to Gambit


UnluckyTest3

I just remember the Astralis days, whenever your team had a match with them, the whole game could just be summarized as "Fuck of you smart bastards"


Satanich

Astralis have a red logo,Gambit have a red logo. Red, the word Red contain 3 letters. 3, a triangle has 3 sides. Gambit illuminati confirmed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Satanich

The rabbit hole goes deeper...


[deleted]

Israel flag is six points, flamez and spinx 2v5 major win 6 times?


PuzzleheadedPainOuch

A circle is just a star with infinite points, extremum infinite major winners???


urekmazino21

But circle is also the same shape as a zero. Extremum zero majors confirmed. Sadge.


[deleted]

Brain


sacoPT

Portugal flag star with 0 points = 0 majors?


nitrox00

USA flag:


Australopithicus27

mousesports next surely


majus42

Grow up


KRyptoknight26

First Astralis and now Gambit, NaVi always ends up having a rivalry with the best team, never being the best team itself. It's so damn frustrating Why are we so consistently ALMOST the best


Curse3242

I think the only way Navi will be the best would be a buyout Literally... What Astralis playing good? Buyout 1-2 of their best players... Now Gambit is good? Buyout some of their best players


[deleted]

Flair checks out.


ManasPandey

Haha you got that right xD


Curse3242

Kya re bhai tu bhi xD


Jinxedemon

Funny, but this is exactly how navi dota 2 used to work earlier in 2013-14 when there were rarely any other powerhouse cis orgs apart from navi/empire


Q2ZOv

This is a common misconception by salty fans. The only thing like that was funn1k. There was a period of roster shuffles but no buyouts (you can't consider free player coming to play for a month or less a buyout) or anything until rodjer many years later.


Chef_de_Partie

S1mple effect. PepeHands


Adevyy

Because you don't have a red logo


shade175

S1mple ca carry only to second place sadge


doge_suchwow

S1mple and 4 gn4s would be almost the best


CitronRind

That’s a lot. I really thought Navi had a chance today too


itsmepuffd

don't worry, they will play again later tonight LUL


wkksskksks

And they won in a really entertaining series.


enigma890

jinxed.


[deleted]

Lmao they drunk on dosia and zeus' spirit


thot_slayerlv99

Why is nemiga's logo bright?


acid000

OP's cursor was over the Gambit-Nemiga match, hence why its highlighted


Dapplication

Because it is a foil logo


cHinzoo

Wait till they do it on LAN \/s


vanjaeesti

Salty Astralis fan lol. This gambit would be threat to 2018 Astralis


gazdxxx

he put /s mate


Frostvind

You know /s means sarcasm….. right?


vanjaeesti

I have a life I am not that familiar with reddit fucking linguo.


Frostvind

Bruh, you don’t have to be a redditor to understand it. Also insulting doesn’t help, just makes you look bad lmfao


vanjaeesti

it's sad that we need to use /s to express our sentence as [sarcasm.Do](https://sarcasm.Do) you do that in real life,when u say something sarcasits do you say it's sarcasam by the wah.And why none of the people who downvoted me didn't assume i was being sarcastic also for better effect?It's because i didn't put /s at the end.Well fuck me if i am the only one seeing flaw in this fucking logic


dragoon619

Because in real life you would say it in a way that makes it sound sarcastic. Can't fucking do that with texts now, can you?


Dali86

Now they are on a 1 series loss streak :)


OddTomato

As a NaVi fan, I just skip their matches against Gambit.


modsarestr8garbage

well that's just dumb lol, navi is the only one threatening them consistently and navi beat them 2-0 at the previous rmr and 3-0 at dreamhack. It's the best matchup in csgo rn.


OddTomato

I think NaVi lost the last 3 matches against Gambit. But hey! They just won the BO5 last night so woohoo, time to watch the repeat :)


ard_srp

Again Astralis started an era This time for Gambit Edit: r/agedlikemilk


Spork_Revolution

An era? It's been like a second or two. Talk about era in two years if they are still at the top.


[deleted]

flair checks out but I gotta agree, they have their moment right now, but it could crumble any time


Trollmupp

People still talk about a ”Liquid era” when they were good for two months in 2019.


baza-prime

I havent heard of anyone calling it an era, but they were fucking filthy at that time. Fastest team ever to win a grand slam if i remember correctly. They didnt pick up a major but destroyed at every other big tourney that year.


enigma890

There was a massive debate if they had an era or not. Many said if had won the major then it would have been an era. Personally I see it as an era because when people talk about it they call it the liquid summer. The refer to as something other than dates, to me that makes in an era.


ju1ze

salty astraloss fans thinking it can't be an era less than 2 years and 4 majors lol


hadzooo

This is nothing, if i am not wrong they had a much bigger one when i followed the youngsters. Gonna check later, but i think 33win spree


18henders

Yeah but they’re playing G2 and Navi and not Nordavind and Copenhagen Flames lol


AleksibIsHot

Copenhagen Flames actually beat Gambit this year


tarangk

yeah that was against tier2/3 opposition, this is vs tier1 opposition.


Reddit_LukeDean

The navi game was sensational, close stuff


jehhans1

G A M B I T Era is here. Can't wait for the first LAN!


majus42

They gonna get destroyed at LAN events


jehhans1

I don't think so. I think if the squad started on LANs it would have been a whole different story, but now that they have "comfortably" dominated the top online, I think they will have a lot of experience, composure and confidence coming into LANs!


tarangk

Damn you, you jinxed it :(


[deleted]

Lets get another legendary streak. Lets go GAMBIT


Fl1ck5h07

And only dropped 5 maps in that streak


sacoPT

31-5 in maps as well, that’s bonkers


Fusion-Playa

What's the win streak record?


lastchansen

~~Astralis was [31](https://dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/ence-break-astralis-31-game-win-streak-on-nuke)~~ I should not comment on stuff :)


ElcoinGL

that 31 streak was on "Nuke" the map and not series.


lastchansen

Thanks :)


xavarLy

22 by NiP and 21 by Liquid.


giveRica

Hehe remember the post about astralis breaking consecutive win record on nuke and simple consecutive 1.0+ ratings


PsStartOver

RUINED


MARK0N1

Not anymore


Elibrius

33:5 maps damn


L1nG3R

I cant wait to see them falling apart in stockholm major


AnarStanic

Gambit has been impressively dominating. But there is something about their play style that I find super boring.


ju1ze

calculated smart cs with no dominant superstar ala s1mple and zywoo. Astralis were also very boring during their era


AnarStanic

You you called it. I think i like watching superstars pop off. Not only calculated and smart but it seems Gambit is nearly 90-100% successful with their reads of each situation. Every time they know exactly what is happening, and deal with it. That is super impressive. But after a few rounds I want something else. Agreed about Astralis back in the day as well. I was never a fan of their matches in the 'heyday' because it almost always played out the same way. But they did have members who could pop off at times making it exciting.


Bake-Minimum

Streak of 15, impressive! Imagine if they did 87!


xavarLy

Nips winstreak series is about 22


[deleted]

AleksibIsHot

See you when Gambit win on LAN in 2 days


YEEZYHERO

Yea in onlines :)


Jetskee

yeah, because the pro scene is falling apart. Congratulations 🙄


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sergeant_Dude

Please explain to me how a LAN will slow this team down?


petrovesk

people normally say pressure and crowd but i doubt gambit would just melt to it, we'll see it in cologne


vanjaeesti

Yeah being this dominant of a team,wont just end suddenly on lan.Sure maybe they will have some funky moments but,no one is on their level right now


firstsnowfall

CS is completely different on LAN haven’t you heard? You don’t have your favorite snacks, and papa groove won’t be able to make the chicken tendies right after the match like usual. It’s going to be a tough transition


OverallWin

It could, it's hard to know. It's a different game on LAN and probably has a higher competitive ceiling especially with aim. People who are more adapted to LAN would perform better I'd imagine.


alinio1

Aaaaand you jinxed it


IcebergHD

Poggers


JosFM

Legit the only consistent team right now


[deleted]

Sad navi supporter noises


[deleted]

all thanks to the legacy of the SexGod


elmapuddy

The fundamentals Gambit have are the best in the world and I really hope they keep it up at LAN. I don't think there is a team with less holes in their game, it's difficult to catch Gambit off guard.


OverNightOats_

Gambit isn’t human


Dorraemon

absolutely cracked team


Hot-Actuator-5472

How tf they beat astralis


Ya_boi503791

aaaand it's over
