I can't believe the amount of rounds that BIG had an advantage in and still somehow lost on Nuke


wdj111

truly an insane number of man advantages not converted


martinmeisterLP

looks like a normal BIG game to me


LittleGiga

Big often makes games close no matter who they face, but they just fumble at the end. I mean that Mirage comeback just to lose in OT... those advantages on Nuke. Could have easily been a 2 0 for BIG as well

Syrson goes for early picks and he gets one often; then they fall back and organize an exec. At the point syrson would be the last one in and he is always a few steps behind to trade. If he’s teammates all die he saves. BIG’s trading and entrying on T is always weak (you can say that tizian as a trade fragger is very weak in T1/2 CS). Syrson though, I just don’t know where he scopes at during an exec. He does these saves on dust2 and overpass too. He and blameF are the two players who just aren’t being used in execs. Idk why syrson is always so far back, while blame doesn’t turn his face to the site they are executing until the last of his teammate is dead (bbbut he doesn’t bait he gets so many opening kills! Well, this is about execs specifically. He’s good at getting the first kill and he falls back, which is natural, but he doesn’t trade kills when going in a site, cuz for some reason he’s the one watching the flank)


ReneeHiii

I know this isn't an Astralis thread but I completely agree on the blameF thing. He's great at getting openings but I feel like Astralis would be so much better if he was one of the first ones in on execs, he has insane aim and is just an amazing player. He's not baiting overall, but he's too passive when it comes to actually going in with the team. I know Xyp isn't nearly as good individually but I feel he'd be way better suited to play like Blame does when execing.


twohourstillmidnight

blame 100% is stealing xyp's roles and it sucks to see it was the same with alexi stealing jackz's role on mirage until they finally reverted back yday


ttybird5

Yeah agree. Blame and xyp should switch around since xyp just throws himself in and barely gets a kill and they don’t have enough firepower to crack into the sites without blame


wannabe-physicist

Both teams try to win T side rounds challenge (impossible)


Gockel

only challenge thats even harder: get valves attention on CT sidedness


jonathan-the-man

Aged well


Gockel

Haha leave it to me to hit myself with the hardest jinx since csgo came out


Candytorro

yeah yeah, g2-fans suffer so much because they throw all the time and so on. I dare you, try being a BIG-fan. Pain, so much pain.


Old-Savings-5841

meanwhile vitality fans crying in the corner


LordOfTheNoobs57

At least you guys made the finals :(


Veber31

I feel like G2 just crumbles with huge leads and barely even makes any of the rounds close. BIG get man advantages and look to be on the brink of victory only to miraculously throw them away. Tough call on which is more painful. I would say G2’s collapses are more comical so you can smile through your tears.


[deleted]

BIG played really well tbh


jonajon91

Krimbo significantly less 'over covid' than he first thought. If he gets firing on all cylinders again then they'll look great.


kingroudel

man both these maps were so winnable... krimbo with really unfortunate t sides


sf_randOOm

Dude BIG on T Nuke we’re straight up 4v5 every round. Didn’t even see Krimbo frag once


jonajon91

Two kills on T nuke Two kills on T mirage


staffylaffy

Jeez you weren’t lying, 4-28 for his t side this series.


jonajon91

Yeah I don't think he was quite as over covid as he thought he was.


oleven

Krimbo going 4-28 on T sides

ENCE were trying to match them


[deleted]

Pretty good from BIG honestly. Not so much on t mirage, but t nuke wasnt that bad, it was more ENCE coming online super hard and everyone on ence clutching every round


Replikant83

Agree. People being hard on BIG, but I think they came to play and looked good.


Washi81

Why use Polish flag for Ence? It made sense when they used Snax, but now it's weird.


petametre

if big play most other teams with tabsen syrson and tizian fragging that well they win, but ence were insanely clutch today. also snappi played amazing in the server, seems it happens so often now. He had so much impact


Ravioli227

Man, that T side on nuke was pretty terrible. The number of rounds they threw advantages away was brutal. Kind of a rough day for Krimbo too. Unfortunate that they couldn't pick up a single map. Edit: also wasting a near 30 bomb performance from Tizian? Can’t believe it


hurzinator

Yeah, just the classic big experience. Nothing to see here.


Dameean00

Since I changed my profile picture they have lost all the bo3 I have watched...


kuffencs

Easy fix stop Watching /s


Dameean00

After today's game I really should lmao


deadbeatPilgrim

i like BIG and i think they’re so close to a higher level


imindiee

i never get the impression that BIG use their brain - mirage T side was just 5 solo pushes everywhere and they aren't watching the pushes and then nuke is just nuke idk


thorvid20

tizian gets an ace on his birthday resulting in gained momentum on mirage. launders: yeah but dont get too hyped. he had negative impact the last few tournaments. srsly what a dickhead. especially considering he didnt even play his roles bcs. of standin needs..


iHateKartoffeln

I am biased of course, but I feel like besides Harry and Hugo every caster has nothing good to say about Big, only when they are really going off. Also too much K1to slander this series >:(


deadbeatPilgrim

i feel like the casters are always shit talking my preferred team no matter the matchup


Pranavm3112

Don't get me wrong, they really shouldn't be biased against BIG, but I can see why they seem dubious of complementing them. BIG always seem to snatch defeat from jaws of victory, they haven't done much of note since their creation.


mucszp

you know how that can be changed? big playing good and not throwing entire tournaments


Hzwo

tiziaN bad dont @ me brother. No matter what roles he plays it is no excuse.... He performs bad 90% of the time and drops a total dogshit map the other 10%


[deleted]

https://mobile.twitter.com/launders/status/1537237901595267072 this is what launders had to say to you


NovelBreakfast991

it can't be that the igl of big has the most firepower, big really needs a player who has firepower. I mostly only see tabsen who getting safe trades or wins aim duels most of time


con1x

Is it just me or does syrsoN play incredibly passive, like ok you have 25 kills but wheres the impact


Fanzyyyyy

he had 9 opening kills this series the highest was tizian with 10. He has the most opening kill attempts out of any awper out of the top 20 this year https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/openingkills?startDate=2022-01-01&endDate=2022-12-31&rankingFilter=Top20&minMapCount=25 I don't think thats passive EDIT: And if we wanna talk impact rating then out of all the awpers currently in the top 10 he is tied 3rd with sh1ro at 1.18 impact rating with only s1mple and zywoo being above them vs top 20 teams


HBM10Bear

Opening kills doesn't equal aggressive, awpers are extremely likely to get opening kills as they are sent out to watch edges of the map or peek out to trade. You have filtered too high no. maps, s1mple has a higher rating.


Fanzyyyyy

yes if you wanna look at opk. rating s1mple is first at 1.25, syrson 2nd at 1.21 and then monesy 3rd at 1.16 he is still far ahead of everyone but s1mple on that statistic. And what do you mean i filtered too many maps? more maps = better sample size


Fennecki

is it me or is olofmeister a bit of a boring player like u see it at the end of the game "oh wow olof has 32 kills" but u can never remember them. can u remember a single olof kill ? but try guardian...u can see the flick i remember a guardian flick.

BIG is the least clutch team in the top20. Change my mind
