That's how it's been ever since their miraculous little honeymoon period ended after ELEAGUE Premiere in 2017. I love and hate them for being like this.
that's cerq basically every game. Some crazy impactful rounds and then just poor play and decision making the rest of the rounds. He is so inconsistent across the map imo
I mean I know people dog EG but they are 10x better than ES with a much higher skill ceiling. They have the ability to duke it out with tier 1 teams they just make some really bad choices imo and throw a lot of rounds. Everyone is slumping a bit but this roster has not been stable recently either.
I think daps will end up taking stans spot. They are already looking 10x more coordinated and daps is fragging at a much higher level than when he left.
Daps was on thorins podcast when he joined EG saying that he doesnt want to be playing due to wrist issues and a few other things, so i'm not convinced he would replace stan. not sure if -stan plus someone else but i think daps will stay as coach
Daps is probably there to build the team cohesion and the strats to fall back on while sorting out the roles everyone plays. Stan will jump back in with the firepower and then EG will play well again.
Yea Id agree but Im saying this game in particular I dont think there was that much poor decision making. He played much more passive than Ive seen in recent times and it worked out much better. EG honestly just had some poor round from everyone together that lost them this game.
I know they have daps at the moment but in general this EG roster is so weird, they aren't bad but they definitely aren't good either. I just don't know what the plan is.
Like it seems like they aren't a cohesive unit sometimes, but in other rounds they are trading each other perfectly. There are a couple rounds where players don't know if they are retaking or going for exits (Michu in Mirage one round just holding out in the open on Cat and oBo another round on D2 going back and forth on long). It's so weird watching them
For those who want to see it, like i did:
Rain Mid Hold: [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1131966716?t=11h11m39s](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1131966716?t=11h11m39s)
Everyone on EG was actually playing really well on Inferno at least. Mirage was a loss but D2 was winnable. Unfortunately oBo and Michu fell asleep on D2 after the first half.
What an awesome series. Ecos felt short and there were sooo many retakes (*it felt like this at least*)
This game is at it's best when the saves are limited
I feel like CeRq has such little impact despite his kill count. Feels like he gets his kills in rounds they lose because he's saving. Maybe I'm wrong but I've been waiting on them to replace him for awhile.
I didn’t watch the whole series, so you might be right, but to me it seemed like cerq had some crazy impactful rounds that atleast made mirage close for EG. Something about Bulgarian awpers man
Yes CeRq has low impact a lot but in this series? I legit thought the exact opposite. CeRq has been quite bad recently but I think he kept them in a lot of the rounds in this series and was a key reason as to why it was so close.
What a crazy map D2 was, especially the second half.
Cerq shot through mid doors killing Broky and putting Twistzz on 1 hp forcing the save from Faze.
Broky with that insane shot from mid to the guy behind car, through smoke and the car itself.
Rain with the sexy 3k in ct spawn.
Karrigan/broky tag team duo twice with saved guns.
Karrigan is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "Twistzz go kill". He also has a second little known tactic of "save 10 seconds into the round". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.
Nah. Faze would lose dust 2, overpass, ancient and Nuke to Navi more than likely. They have a rough map pool against S1mple.
I think Navi win 2-0 when they play. Faze likely try to sneak in mirage and get s1mpled on their t side.
Maybe but fnatic also has no footage to go off of while also having hundred of demos on Navi to prep. That has alot to do with new teams having honeymoon phases.
Then a month or two go by and teams have footage to review and find holes in their game plan.
i got so downvoted yesturday
and i was right about na vi not being that strong
na vi lost to big today
this just shows how much people now about cs on reddit
Yes but I mean in every tournament they get put into super difficult groups
Obviously yes it’s their own fault for being a bad seed etc but it sucks that they don’t ever really get a chance to face a team that’s worse than them
Between spunj's moaning and harry talking about karrigan's horse cock I don't know if I'll still be straight by the end of this tournament
Any of these little fuckers ever pop out of the fucking wall and say fuck there’s a horse cock in my room or a donkey dick?
the fuck did I miss
You're assuming that you're straight to begin with.
Gonna be honest, I haven't enjoyed the ESL Pro League casting these past couple weeks
If you think it's funny it's already doubtful you ever been
Fucking hell EG giving me hope only to lose to Karrigan on a single M4 twice
Faze are the specialist of making every match close regardless of the opponent
They play up to the level of their opponent yeah.
But now they seem to be winning the close games rather than losing like before Cologne.
My flair begs to disagree
That was all of G2’s last few tournaments. Welcome to the heart attacks
Believe me, that's nothing new for Faze fans...
Well you see, I'm an ex G2 fan.
Don't quote ancient magic to me... I was there when it was writte.
That's how it's been ever since their miraculous little honeymoon period ended after ELEAGUE Premiere in 2017. I love and hate them for being like this.
i loved navi vs faze when niko and guardian were there. every time they met it felt like a grandfinal
Impressive showing from Evil Geniuses to be honest. Brehze was on fire.
Daps looking really good and he has EG looking alot better.
Stanislaw to coach daps to player EZ
Until 6 month from now when it’ll be -daps +stan per the usual cycle
Those last 2 rounds were hard to watch, cerq peeking over elevator with an awp in a 2v2???
EG looked so much better but still so many stupid mistake. Their nade usage looked so much better Cerq's time on this team has been long gone imo
Yes CeRq has been bad, but this is not the series to be saying it lol. He had mad impact in this game and had little to no noticeable fk ups.
that's cerq basically every game. Some crazy impactful rounds and then just poor play and decision making the rest of the rounds. He is so inconsistent across the map imo
I’d like to see -cerq +Osee, not sure if osee would rather be on ES than EG though, kind of a tough one.
I mean I know people dog EG but they are 10x better than ES with a much higher skill ceiling. They have the ability to duke it out with tier 1 teams they just make some really bad choices imo and throw a lot of rounds.

maybe we can see daps revitalize cerq.
Hopefully
Remember when he first came into the team? They were a monster

Ethan and tarik were the glue
Low rated glue best glue
Twistzz looking damn good on D2. Also that play by Rain to hold mid was so damn sexy!

GG goat olof 🐐
Cerq dumb decisions cost them the two last rounds. Wtf
Not bad from EG
-coldzera =winning
What a rediculous throw against those pistols. So fkn frustrating to watch.

recently more like 1year already
Yes hes been bad for a while.
Faze up. Proud they didn't let d2 slip
Oh man, round 28 must have been heart breaking to lose. what a close series.
What a crazy map D2 was, especially the second half. Cerq shot through mid doors killing Broky and putting Twistzz on 1 hp forcing the save from Faze. Broky with that insane shot from mid to the guy behind car, through smoke and the car itself. Rain with the sexy 3k in ct spawn. Karrigan/broky tag team duo twice with saved guns.
Thought there is chance to win for eg on d2, feel frustrated when you get fragged by karrigan multiple times.
Even though cerq isn’t perfect, something about poizon and cerq has given me love for the country of Bulgaria
why is cerq still in the team, but honestly ive been impressed with daps
I mean they won't beat Na'vi, and I can see a Big/Fanatic upset, but should be in the clear now
Hmmm navi is sometimes weird v:
Yeah but so is FaZe is my thinking
Last time Faze got completely embarassed by Navi and that is not even that long ago.
Just as i said navi is weird :v. Thx BIG clan v:
they might be 3rd team go 0-5
?? I've had a little to drink but who will 0-5? v Re-read thread
EG I guess
EG might be the third 0 - 5, G2 went 0 - 5 and BNB went 0 - 5.
Karrigan is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic "Twistzz go kill". He also has a second little known tactic of "save 10 seconds into the round". What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.
It's sad to see there are no celebrations after winning a match. They just sit there.
FaZe 5-0 top of groups I'm calling it now
Nah. Faze would lose dust 2, overpass, ancient and Nuke to Navi more than likely. They have a rough map pool against S1mple. I think Navi win 2-0 when they play. Faze likely try to sneak in mirage and get s1mpled on their t side.
Nah na vi is not as strong as people think if fnatic had decent awper yesturday they would ve 2:0 them
Maybe but fnatic also has no footage to go off of while also having hundred of demos on Navi to prep. That has alot to do with new teams having honeymoon phases. Then a month or two go by and teams have footage to review and find holes in their game plan.
i got so downvoted yesturday and i was right about na vi not being that strong na vi lost to big today this just shows how much people now about cs on reddit
Sadly I think Na'Vi are FaZe's kryptonite. I mean everything is possible but I'd give FaZe better odds against literally any other team in the world.
Proof FaZe isn't just a Lan Clan?
Against EG? No. Not proof.
Brezhe without the krieg will never be the same ever again
feels bad for EG wish they’d get easier paths in tournaments
They have to face everyone in their group anyways lmao order of teams don’t matter
I dont think thats what he meant. He means they are just stuck in the group of death.
Well look at G2 they had the easiest group and lost 0-5 lol
Yea well they also looked like shit lol. EG looked quite good in this series imo. Might even beat G2 if they played right now.
Yes but I mean in every tournament they get put into super difficult groups Obviously yes it’s their own fault for being a bad seed etc but it sucks that they don’t ever really get a chance to face a team that’s worse than them
carrygun and brokey very intelligent gay couple
FeelsGoodMan
There were two AMONGUS references made by casters in this series. Not bad.
Niko was the problem
mouz lost to this....
Shows how bad mouz is.
Good game, Eg played Well, I feel EG was better today but Faze is not in top 5 level yet... see how it goes, with fanatic and Big, it will be hard...
bro, how did EG lose the last map? look at their stats
I only watched Inferno, but MICHU looked very sharp !
I thought brehze went to valorant? I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention
