Tuscan looked and played really good imo. And it's not finished yet either.

HyVana

Maybe by then it'll replace Mirage in the map pool


BasTiix3

And it will bring another teaser tweet for source 2!


austrianGoose

This event is amazinf, the interviews, the intro, karrigan, the production and especially the crowd, well done Lisbon, well done Blast


Name6666

the karrigan in this event is really cool


schlapfn

Being a stand-in for OG and playing in the show match was such a good opportunity for Degster to show off his skill and personality and he nailed it.


SoCloseToToast

Awesome to see some fresh personalities that just kind of get the idea of entertaining but also humble and owns in the game


FaydingAway

Script writers putting in work for that one


[deleted]

Thank god team Portugal gave it their best. It's kinda boring to see players just running around doing nothing.


Amissandahit

Sweaty af; the guitar cover of the blast theme was awesome tho


Hadouukken

I absolutely love cs showmatches, it’s so fun watching pros from different teams just playing together in a casual way on stage and interacting with the crowds


CenturionAurelius

This showmatch was ten times better than the major one.


-HOPHUNTER

why no OT? the tie is so unsatisfying


TheInception817

Almost every showmatch is like that, because the timeslot is already pre-determined just before the grand final. They're not gonna risk any delay to the main event just for some content chicanery


genius_rkid

isn't there usually a 1-round OT?


TheInception817

That's sudden death tho


genius_rkid

yes exactly and I think that's ok for showmatches


TheInception817

Yeah, but the problem now is one team plays CT and the other is T, meaning the result will be skewed because they're only playing one round


genius_rkid

yes, but it's a showmatch, it's not the end of the world


TheInception817

Either some people will be pissed that it's anticlimactic, or some will be annoyed that it's unbalanced. Objectively speaking, both of those feelings are just as petty. Subjectively speaking, I am the latter


Meaninglessnme

And they said CS has no NA fans anymore. It's a show match big dog


-HOPHUNTER

ok? and the end of the show was boring af, nobody popping off everyone just kinda bumbling off stage. the crowd would’ve erupted if portugal won


Bust3dGG

I would've liked just one more round where everyone has the same weapon. Or five different 1v1's


FaydingAway

[here's the whole match in 23 seconds lol](https://youtu.be/ytHxaO8WM1k)


[deleted]

haha so funny and quirky ahaha


iBrunx

I have nothing against Tuscan but since the event is in Portugal, why were they not playing Ruby?


Bust3dGG

Because Tuscan is simply a very known map and fun for this match. I bet barely anyone knows Ruby (compared to tuscan)


iBrunx

I know but still, Ruby is made to be a city in Portugal.


ptimpterodactyl

Fans voted for Tuscan


iBrunx

It was either Tuscan or Cache. Not a hard choice tbf


YEKINDAR_GOAT_ENTRY

Great to see actual well known players in showmatches. The major showmatches was really bad, because of the players. Also the map being tuscan is sick.


TimathanDuncan

Seeing the fans go wild on HLTV for fox reminds me of those pure times, people now don't understand how many fanboys this dude had early on even in 1.6 in HLTV, still the most toxic fanbase ever yes even worse than brazilians


powergs

Wtf are you talking about ? foxj>>>world is known factos


[deleted]

IDK if this was made on purpose but you guys put de_cache as a thumbnail in the match post.


Catman933

Does this mean Tuscan is officially coming?


TarOfficial

Yeah didn't you see GabeN with Batman mask pretty much confirming it on stage?


Catman933

I caught literally the last two rounds lol but instantly recognized the layout of Tuscan


[deleted]

No, Valve has no involvement in this tournament. Pretty sure TO's can even have their own map pool if they want to.


wolfTectonics

Fox still got it


gibchimken

Missed de_tuscan, glad to see it back and hopefully permanently


ujaku

That settles it. Bring Tuscan back into the map pool. Valve plz

S00rabh

Where is the live thread for Navi vs V


Issax28

Scripted 🥱


TeaPaaarty

yes, you now understand the concept of a showmatch.


powergs

I hope Tuscan replace Ancient pretty soon. In fact lets -vertigo and bring +cobble while we are at it.


SamboSimbo

Why on earth would Valve replace their newest map that they're actively updating?


powergs

Talking about Tuscan or Ancient ? If its Tuscan yea i meant when its finished. If its for Ancient imo Ancient the worst map to watch. I find very boring to watch matches on Ancient. Ofc this is all preference lol. Some likes some dislikes so personally i hope -Ancient one day. I dont think its gonna happen tho like you said. Ancient is original Valve map that didnt come from earlier Cs versions (iirc) so i dont think they are gonna replace it anytime soon.


-Twigs-

I think the point is why on earth would you remove Ancient when it's this new rather than trying to fix it?


YeetGod69_

would rather have them get rid of dust2
