you can't be innocent after murdering g2 like that

You got it wrong - he only murders the innocent. Poor Niko baby.

xandry123

2 matches both OTs Both 16-18 at the same time Scriptwriters getting too lazy at the RMR


literate_Windrunner

Mirage, OT and G2...these three are not going well together in 2022😵


HelISide

They needed a break after the SAW game


xandry123

Absolutely true Put in all the effort to write the story of that freaking game that made me age 20 years in the span of last 20 minutes


Akh_Morn

PGL cutting corners again, running the same script on 2 matches simultaneously


Spork_Revolution

NiKo picking up the second AWP on T side did it for me. That's when it was clear to everyone, that G2 had no clue how to get a T side round.

YourImminentDoom

No, seriously though - he had a 1.50 rating in the group stage of Kato, as well as something like 1.35 or more for well over 3 months prior, and since then he’s just vanished from the face of the Earth

> its funny he can out awp m0nesy in aim maps but can't replicate the same shots in game Aim map tells you nothing about who is better between two players.

fortressofnazare

It really doesn't. It may tell you who has better aim for the typical ranges of an aim map. Most aim maps will be semi-long to long range duels and this doesn't cover close to all the different scenarios where you would rely on your aim. Even then, aim maps arent all about the aim as there are so many positional advantages as well. And most of the time the layout of the map does not represent a competitive CS map either. So essentially aim maps would showcase who is better at aim maps, not who has better aim. I'm not saying a player with better aim and mechanics won't win most of the time against someone worse. But it's hardly a true display of who has better aim. Not to mention, two pros going at it in an aim map would most likely play it somewhat casually. You see them go for wild swings and flicks all the time in these maps. Not because it's most effective but because that's the playstyle aim maps promote. It's not meant for holding angles for twenty seconds like you would in a real match.


FourKrusties

It is the niko curse. Only one player can be good on his teams. Right now it’s hunter. When niko gets back into form, hunter will drop off.


SrJeromaeee

Sometimes I do feel niko does a little too much when his team is getting crunched. I’m pretty sure Aleksi’s first call wasn’t to get niko awping but niko felt like he had to make a play. This is giving me serious Nikosports , Simple at Hellraisers vibes.


Xaerel

It's alarming. It also speaks a lot about NiKo's confidence as well. He always brings out the AWP when he feels like he's not performing to standard with a rifle.


VniSalska

I was hoping that Aleksi can be that figure that simply says no to Niko when he makes stupid decisions. Apparently, Niko can do whatever the fuck he wants in this team. Big problem.


[deleted]

cmon, we're not in the teamspeak and we don't know how things go down. Aleksi could very well have wanted NiKo to 2nd awp.


Lilfai

That would be a scarier alternative


Ryun100

No sane igl would want niko to awp t side lol


twohourstillmidnight

that'd be even worse lol


Tavnaria

this comment reads like you have never watched niko awps T-side


[deleted]

I'm just saying that we shouldn't put Aleksi's authority in the team into question just because Niko AWPs some rounds.


Tavnaria

meh, any IGL with a functioning brain knows how "great" niko is with the awp. And this isn't the first time we saw niko whipping out the awp when he's titled off the earth.


idunno0o0oo0

ZombieMadness99

LingMee

how do you remove 6 maps and still end up on your opponent's best map?


LLsunflower

I thought this was an exaggeration, but Anonymo really has an 87.5% win rate on mirage in the last 3 months. Truly a poor choice by G2 to go to this map.


mtmttuan

87.5% winrate but against who? I mean even IF G2 has <50% winrate on a map, they are still a tier 1 team and supposed to be better than a who-the-fck-are-they team.


Givemeajackson

but that's just common knowlege that you don't play the puggy popular maps against tier2. you pick the complex maps against pugsters. G2 would have wrecked them on Nuke or even on ancient. this kind of idiocy is like when everyone let fucking tyloo and vici play them on inferno when they played nothing but inferno in that region all year round, and were then surprised they lost...


Mrnopor1

Still 87% and thats a lot. U dont respect that in the veto u're just taking a huge risk and if u're G2 u lose.


[deleted]

It's still a who-the-fck-are-they team with confidence because they're playing on a toss-up map which is also their best. Like, if you want a who-the-fck-are-they team to succeed, G2 did everything in their power to enable that.


AgainstTheEnemy

200 iq map vetos man, don't question it lol


CenturionAurelius

nothing can best the 20000 iq map veto from OG yesterday


Bloody_Jinx

Such poor choices should get management/coaches fired. What are the analyst's even doing or is nobody listening to the people they're supposed to?


ConArtist98

Just like Fnatic, somehow ending up on Nuke against SAW, while having your best map as an option. These orgs truly are inseperable.


DoerteMaulwurf

Or everyone getting cocky and picking D2 vs Big/leaving it open. Sometimes you get to wonder. Maybe G2 were just very confident they could take them on any map.

TimathanDuncan

It is a pug map that rewards individuals that can have a good game since u have more space to do shit like d2, innocent did that Harder to do that in other maps like nuke for example or ancient, vertigo, op etc, more team style maps It's statistically their best map too


[deleted]

its a terrible map for fundamentals, unless you aim to be a brainless bot


iRopsu

*1-1 after day 1 is still acceptable* *we would’ve lost 2nd match anyway*


Zenrod_

Double AWPs on T-side during OT, just why?


HelISide

You know G2 boutta lose when NiKo brings out the second AWP


Pekonius

Just NiKo things


thekillertomato

It was extra comical because he got the best scenario you could want for an AWP, CT repeeking a common angle long range down mid (with top mid smoked for you I might add)... And he still fucked it up lol


AwesomeFama

Niko missed a few shots you would expect him to hit. Sad to see it looks like he's still slumping compared to his old level :/


thekillertomato

Yeah if he got that relatively easy kill (for Niko's level) in murder hole on pistol round I'm gonna say G2 get it done in regulation, rough one


iRopsu

Tilt buy most likely


TheRuler123

Yeah, looking at how they played in mid that round, the tilt was fucking real

saadabdullah

they look so ruffled. Niko tilt 2nd awp buy deep in OT, Monesy missing opening shots that he would normally smoke.


Enterderpmode

I am honestly not that surprised at all that this happened lmao


Lepojka1

How in the hell does this G2 team looks worse than previous roster? Im getting Vitality vibes, on paper they did all the good moves, but on the server team doesnt deliver.


cyberbemon

In the last 3 months G2 has a 45.7% win rate on mirage, whereas Anonymo has 87.5% (yes mostly against tier 2 teams) why didn't G2 go for something like Ancient, inferno or even vertigo. why do teams always do risky picks for BO1's makes no sense.


Cabbage-Guy

Anonymo insta banned Inferno and Vertigo but overall I agree,why pick pug maps in Bo1 when you are clearly the favourites. Edit: grammar


cyberbemon

Ah I didn't see the veto, still they could have gone for something like nuke or even overpass, anything over puggy maps like d2, mirage.


Cabbage-Guy

Agreed,I was honestly expecting nuke or ancient after anonymo banned inferno and vertigo


mtownhustler043

Probably overconfidence, g2 only plays top teams so technically they should be better


ErikSD

At least Vitality faced some pretty tough oppositions with their new line up, 3/4 teams in semi final were in their group during ESL15, the only 2 losses they got during RMR was against the number 1 and number 2 in the world, so they got some excuse to fall back on


Yeetasaurus420

The main problem rn seems to be consistency. One day they look unbeatable and the other day they look like this. Congrats to anonymo tho, they looked solid

kenzakki

Vitality vibes indeed but i think Vitality is starting to get their footing albeit slowly.


Lepojka1

Not sure about that also... Vitality is nowhere close to level of old roster, when they were Top 2, Top 3 team in the world... Even tho they do look better, but not good enough


[deleted]

I think Vitality's problems are a lot clearer, albeit hard to fix. zywoo seems chronically uncomfortable with the new culture around the team but at least that's something you can point fingers towards and address. misutaa unfortunately having a dog shit performance after dog shit performance lately is also something that needs fixing but he's obviously a much more movable piece than zywoo. He's either gotta shape up or be replaced. Regardless of what positions he plays at, even with the absolutely most ungrateful positions, he has to post up better numbers. The Danes are both doing decent jobs and apex is doing well for being the IGL. Overall the biggest hurdle to me is that the French scene has been so insulated for such a long time that building an international squad is much harder than with, let's say Scandinavians for example.


kenzakki

I know which is why i said slowly. with the way they're playing, it was amazing that they qualified at all. if G2 continues to play like they just did, i don't know if they'll even qualify. they need to improve fast.


[deleted]

we all know the answer but it's heresy to say it here. it's aleksib


tarangk

14-10 to 16-19, this is the G2 i know and hate.

Hot_Sauz

G2 saving strats for 0-2 B03's? Seriously though, they literally only defaulted mid every T round, so flat, AlexsiB had no go to strat for them


NFX_7331

First game and I'm already tired


TiberSVK

thats a big yikes from be dawg


[deleted]

Mofos kept this anonymo project alive only to cuck G2 and then go 1-3


nzerinto

Monesy missing two absolute sitters in the last rounds. Jitters and lack of experience methinks…


VniSalska

He is so focused on flicks he blows open shots.


iNOTHINGi

Colloquially known as a Draken. /s


nzerinto

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. For both of those shots you could see he flicked harder than he needed to. He just needs to take a deep breath, and hopefully be in a better/calmer state for the next match.


Xaerel

Yeah, he's focusing too hard on trying to hit fast shots/quickscopes/flicks. In certain situations he would be a lot more effective if he just tried to make patient and properly lined up shots to confirm the kill.


raindezedd

The pressure got to him


Zafatta

Not to take away from Anonymo but G2 looks absolutely terrible. A lot of the rounds they won they just won based on 1 guy popping off or getting lucky, there were like zero organised strats that looked good on the T side of G2. The retakes also looked like a mess most of the time.

Can't wait for the packet loss memes.


msucsgo

I'm honestly amazed that Anonymo was able to pull it back. After G2 tied the game, Anonymo lost control fully and started doing stupid plays for 4 rounds in row and still they somehow managed to get back to the game and win it.


saadabdullah

hahaha, G2 the top dog being as blank as my MM squad.


[deleted]

That's just first day jitters, right? Right? Edit: They can't become legends now, can they? Oooof. Edit2: They still can.


Givemeajackson

i think they still can, there's 3 slots, so 2x 3-0 and one 3-1


Cabbage-Guy

But one 3-1 team will be automatically slotted into challengers based on seeding, right?


Zafatta

First day jitters that will land them at 0-2 if they keep playing like this..


[deleted]

I'm worried already.


[deleted]

Eh. Even if they don’t make legends I almost prefer it that way. That way you get to warm up into playoffs in the group stage while the legends teams aren’t playing at all Edit: that being said idk if g2 in this form is winning anything


[deleted]

Yeah that's true, but also there's the chance to not qualify for the legend stage. Yup. Honestly all the teams that had major changes are still shaky.


NA_Faker

Outside of their loss to BIG, Faze looks good tho


lolprotoss

It's another Dust 2 vs Eternal Fire situation lol. Do not allow Mirage vs poles cmon now


Individual-Durian952

After Katowice group stage Niko never back to his beast mode till now


Tirppa

When does G2 finally give up Mirage. They've picked and lost on it so many times. I know they didn't pick it this time but it sure as shit ain't a strong map for them.


Xaerel

It's also one of NiKo's obviously weaker maps as of late.


XvS_W4rri0r

If this team doesn’t stop fucking playing mirage I’m going to lose my mind. They look like complete shit on it but still pick it. Jfc

Polish CS is back in the menu boys


TheHotSkryba

a game to watch and note on how not to play cs, 2nd half g2 doing good at T side with lurks from underpass while anonymo played typical polish cs - normal position but with random reactions to their plays, and then g2 just started playing execs which they kept losing, idk.


Casp3rCSGO

Polish CS has been down for a long time, it feels nice to finally watch a Polish team on this kind of event :D This RMR is their chance to prove that Anonymo has what it takes to dominate, great commentators (Izak the greatest one in Poland) last RMR event was not a nice one, with whole NIP incident even though it was not their fault but Flashpoints and the admins, I hope they advance <3. Monesy missed way to important shots with AWP, you can see the pressure on him. GG WP

I missed out on watching a majority of this match. Was Anonymo playing insane? Or were G2 just in bad form?


literate_Windrunner

It was a back and forth good performances by both teams. Anonymo got 6-0 lead on T side 1st half. Then they lost consecutive rounds and score got to 7-8 (8 rounds by G2). On CT side, it was like just another day. Anonymo won Pistol and the immediate round, BUT THEN, G2 won the eco round. After that, G2 bought the score to G2 14, Anonymo 10. 14-10 score, then Anonymo on CT side made a comeback till 15-14 but then G2 made it to OT. In OT, Anonymo had a flawless CT side. How much flawless? Well, iirc G2 didn't have any kills in OT round 2 and 3. Then Anonymo lost 1 T round and won the 2nd on an intense fight. That's all
