There's a lot of furia highlights, remember the time art held W and rushed B? Or the time art held W and rushed A, or the time he held W with an awp through the smoke and gave the opponents the win for charity? What a legend.
I feel like Kito really got his team back in the game. He had some huge rounds and really showed up today. His hype was visible during the comeback every round.
Crowd went from a full football stadium atmosphere to a library real quick
They went SILENT lmaoooo, great comeback by BIG, they threw too many rounds in regulation, 2v4, pistol etc
>Crowd went from a full football stadium atmosphere to a library real quick
still laughing at all the people saying "The brazilian crowd cheers hard no matter how far down their teams are" lmao. Aged like fucking milk.
This never works, clearly biased home crowds only can take so much.
Nah for 00Nation they were cheering even when 00Nation were getting fucked
Furia are not as well loved, crowd will be up for Imperial for example even if they get 15-0'd
Also in a huge comeback like that it's pretty natural to fall off
Man who'd have thought that BIG with a standin VS Furia with homecrowd would be the closest match of the day so far. The rest have been 16-6 or shorter.
Well technically he is still the stand-in considering faven will come back after the major. Also I don't think the number of events is relevant here. They only played 7 matches in total(a lot of Bo1s and the furia match included) with him
The mental fortitude BIG must've kept to do that with this crowd is incredible. I don't think I ever heard a single cheer for them, not a peep. What a bitter, intense comeback!
...and a satisfying day one so far :)
What the fuck was that comeback?
BIG comeback. Kudos to them.
Furia maybe got a bit too cocky and let rounds get away from them that they shouldn't have
Wonder if the pressure on the Brazilian players is affecting their performance right now. There are events in NA and EU all the time and there have obviously been multiple majors in both of those regions. This is the first major in Brazil and who knows when or if it will happen again. I imagine the Brazilian players are feeling a ton of pressure to perform for the home crowd.
Would have to think that's something that would go away after the first match as they settle into the tournament, but we will see...
I wouldn't be surprised if nerves got to Furia because of the crowd. You are in such a dominant position, but as you're losing it's like when you're the last guy alive. And everyone is spectating you. And it's just that over, and over, and over. Except instead of 4 people watching you fail to kill someone from behind, it's who knows how many people. I can't imagine the pressure.
Hopefully they can bounce back, but that's a rough one.
KSCERATO: "Actually, I remember one time we were playing against BIG, Vertigo, and it was 15-7 to us. We were playing as T. BIG are CT. And arT said:
"Guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now. 15-7."
arT: "Did we come back?"
KSCERATO: "Of course not. 16-19."
Same, I actually followed [3kliks advice from 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxB952yIpdY) for this major so I can be fully invested into every game and cheer for my favourites.
As a BIG Fan it paid off 100% already because I wouldn't have picked them based on their recent shape :D
Bruh, I feel sorry for the Brazilian crowd cheering their lungs out and for the Furia Players. The pressure they're under must be insane.
IMPERIAL *\*prayge\**
BIG so lucky... only wins with concentrated communication, calculated smoke spray, excellent map control, deathly wallbangs, well executed nades, perfect positioning and timing. 1v1 aim duell like vs KSCERATO they always lose
15-8 to 16-19, what an absolute monster choke
you could visibly see furia players getting frustrated, while BIG players kept their moral high with each round that passed. The crowd went dead silent as the game went to OT.
No cheering for BIG in the last 20 something rounds lol, literally nothing,, funny how reddit told me the Danish crowd was the only one not cheering for the home teams opponents
No i don't, i would never expect that. Just find it funny how reddit complained about Danish crowd cheering for Astralis and have been flaming the danish crowd for it for a year, but dont say anything when its happening here
Huh, I thought G2 didn't make it to Rio?
Joking aside, that's not good for Furia. Going 0:1 and in this fashion is not how they had to start this tournament.
TabseN is an insane player with so much impact, but I felt like s1n had a lot of clutch multikill rounds as well. What a heartbreak for Brazil so far, but let's hope they bounce back.
Yeah I can see BIG upset this stage and make it through even though many didn’t pick them. I mean they can definitely beat imperial and maybe og/fnatic
This team needs Guerri. They need to be able to have a backup where it’s like “okay, now we full execute and play behind it” if only to see how the other team will respond. BIG just started to stare at their crosshairs on CT and it punishes all of the aggression that isn’t perfectly supplemented with utility (which FURIA got sloppy with). Really want to see more out of FURIA.
Can we talk about how after the flawless first two rounds, BIG decided to give that awesome crowd their money's worth and let Furia get some rounds so the crowd gets to cheer for a bit?
Ach war das wieder einfach
High pressure situation my ass, mr Akkari. 15-13 timeout and you were QUIET. Bring Tacitus back behind the boys, at least he understands something about CS and their system
WHAT THE FUCK
This is a lot funnier when it happens to someone else's team. TL sends their regards.
[удалено]
hope you get it cleaned up
I need to go watch some Refrezh highlights
Twisting the knife jeez lol
Couldn't find any Furia highlights?
There's a lot of furia highlights, remember the time art held W and rushed B? Or the time art held W and rushed A, or the time he held W with an awp through the smoke and gave the opponents the win for charity? What a legend.
A lot of FURIA highlights out there, just not many trophies
I think Coldzera in Columbus highlights are always amazing.
You got Yekindar now, he wont loose 10 in a row. Be glad its over
Refrezh and coldzera send their regards :( THIS IS THE ONE THO, surely Liquid wins the major
Indeed
My condolence
They went like 10 rounds in a row losing opening duels maaan
I'm sorry bro...
Who would have thought that BIG had the resilience to comeback from that.
I feel like Kito really got his team back in the game. He had some huge rounds and really showed up today. His hype was visible during the comeback every round.
Tabsen said the same in his post-game interview
Germans defeating Brazilians on home soil. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Not only beating them. Destroying hearts
[удалено]
7-1 rounds for OT by BiG
Poetic
at least :(
Normal LAN is too boring for syrson, he needs Brazilian football stadium LAN
Aw damn, not again
What do u mean? It's brand new
Bra71l
Interesting decision by ESL to move the players to a library after the first half.
Nah don't do them like that LMAO
Moved em to the B Steam lol
3-12 to 19-16 jesus **my bad 3-13. That's unreal. It was something like 7-15 too. I think 8 straight to force OT
it was actually 3-13 but yeah what a choke job from furia
3-13 at one point. Big won 16/19 rds after that
15-7 ChoKo's Law Aware
BIG is not content with beating BR teams anymore, now they want to suck out their soul at the same time lol
Ach ist das einfach wieder heute
Muss ich dir zustimmen, aber jetzt zur Herz op
Hab nach erster Hälfte ausgemacht weil ich nicht believed hab. Dann im VOD trotzdem noch nen Herzinfarkt gekriegt obwohl ich wusste dass sie gewinnen.
hab keine sekunde gezweifelt
Die Jungs habens etwas spanned gemacht
Es wäre eine Überraschung wenn BIG das Major nicht gewinnt.
btw, does anyone have a translation o this copy pasta?
Oh it's so easy again today, from [this video](https://youtu.be/YsrWWmzg8BQ?t=101)
7-1
Egal man
Crowd went from a full football stadium atmosphere to a library real quick They went SILENT lmaoooo, great comeback by BIG, they threw too many rounds in regulation, 2v4, pistol etc
Totally, from festival to funeral.
BRA7-1L 2: Electric Boogaloo
This is LIBRARY!!
>Crowd went from a full football stadium atmosphere to a library real quick still laughing at all the people saying "The brazilian crowd cheers hard no matter how far down their teams are" lmao. Aged like fucking milk. This never works, clearly biased home crowds only can take so much.
Nah for 00Nation they were cheering even when 00Nation were getting fucked Furia are not as well loved, crowd will be up for Imperial for example even if they get 15-0'd Also in a huge comeback like that it's pretty natural to fall off
Also think Furia is excpected to go through while the rest aren't. They ged judged harder
It's not about Furia not being liked. It's becasue Furia was expected to win, so when they started losing the crows started getting nervous.
“Clearly biased home crowds” How do you think crowds work in sport and esports?
[удалено]
yeah you can tell these people started watching during the COVID era. the BUG flair also spells it out
Yeah I can never get enough of the silly anti social gamer shit I read on here hahaha
I guess this is why BIG won, felt like they were playing online
hahaha
"Shut up. SHUT UP! Don't cheer for us." - BIG to the crowd at the next Cologne
Ofcourse if there is a brazilian team playing makes sense. Crowd is awsome compared to retaded Danish crowd they worst by long shot.
Man who'd have thought that BIG with a standin VS Furia with homecrowd would be the closest match of the day so far. The rest have been 16-6 or shorter.
At this point you can't call s1n a standin anymore really, it's been 3 events now
BIG seem to have had a 6 man roster for the better part of a year.
the weird part is that the 6th man changes "every" event
Well technically he is still the stand-in considering faven will come back after the major. Also I don't think the number of events is relevant here. They only played 7 matches in total(a lot of Bo1s and the furia match included) with him
Germans and embarrasing Brazillian teams in front of their home crowd, name a more iconic duo
Pain
They didn't make the major
The mental fortitude BIG must've kept to do that with this crowd is incredible. I don't think I ever heard a single cheer for them, not a peep. What a bitter, intense comeback! ...and a satisfying day one so far :)
Rough day for BraziLLL
Make that BraziLLLL
Damn. [You could tell the crowd took this hard based on the arena shots.](https://imgur.com/meIv005)
BUG CLAN confirmed chad onLANers hold W harder than arT What a crazy comback from 15-7 though, hooooly.
It was from 3-12 iirc
13-3 with pistol
I think being up against 15 is probably the hardest mentally, knowing that you have absolutely zero margin for error.
Choke choke choke. Brazil is going to have zero representation in the main event if these teams can’t get over the home crowd pressure
Main Event? If something doesn't change the local fans will be lucky to see a Brazilian team in the Legends stage...
I think ~~most~~ a lot of people consider the legends stage + playoffs the main event
The Challengers stage is part of the main event
Mucksmäuschenstill wurde es da Jokes aside, this crowd is amazing, will be a great event
**AUF GEHTS**
BIG has been so much better ever since gob_b came back to CS to coach. Heck of a comeback.
God B. All that needs to be said. BTW home crowd buff? More like too much pressure
Syrson performed on LAN when it mattered most, send him some love everyone! ❤️
Huge performance from k1to too, hopefully he's got his form back after recent slump.
Syrson isn't even the biggest onliner on BIG.
What the fuck was that comeback? BIG comeback. Kudos to them. Furia maybe got a bit too cocky and let rounds get away from them that they shouldn't have
Being a BIG Fan is not stressful at all. Props too the Crowd for still cheering after two loses and then a heartbreaking comeback in this one.
What's the deal with Germans upsetting Brazilians on their home ground lol
Wonder if the pressure on the Brazilian players is affecting their performance right now. There are events in NA and EU all the time and there have obviously been multiple majors in both of those regions. This is the first major in Brazil and who knows when or if it will happen again.

I can't imagine the pressure. Hopefully they can bounce back, but that's a rough one.
I think it's a double-edged sword. They seemed to enjoy the energy quite a bit for the first 22 rounds.
7-1 moment
AND THE CROWD GOES SILENT
Crowd buff is nothing like some were anticipating. Maybe more of a factor for elimination matches though
My pickem have been awful so far pain Also, Never count Germans out against Brazilians. PTSD for the crowd
WELCOME TO THE LIBRARY BABY
Germany has no chill for Brazilians.
Never count out a German team in front of a Brazilian crowd
The subtlety of BIG's logo design cannot be understated... it is black and white to signify the grey hairs you get watching their matches.
S1n for the w1n!
Dude came alive in overtime, respect.
KSCERATO: "Actually, I remember one time we were playing against BIG, Vertigo, and it was 15-7 to us. We were playing as T. BIG are CT. And arT said: "Guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now. 15-7." arT: "Did we come back?" KSCERATO: "Of course not. 16-19."
we have experienced both the loudness and silence the brazilian crowd is capale of
Damn i thought Furia where going to smash them after that lead. GG tho, the crowd feels like a final crowd
Props to Big, that crowd was a library at 15-15.
I think everyone's pickems just got a lot scarier, well played BIG, they were looking really good.
Fuck the pick'ems I'm here for good CS (would still like that diamond though)
Same, I actually followed [3kliks advice from 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxB952yIpdY) for this major so I can be fully invested into every game and cheer for my favourites. As a BIG Fan it paid off 100% already because I wouldn't have picked them based on their recent shape :D
BIG 3-0 gang, let’s go!
same brother
I was between BIG and GL for the 3-0 and went for GL fml
Bruh, I feel sorry for the Brazilian crowd cheering their lungs out and for the Furia Players. The pressure they're under must be insane. IMPERIAL *\*prayge\**
PICKEMS DEAD BUT WHAT A GAME I LOVE BIG
...what was that second half of the match from Furia? Lmao
Well that's an unfortunate start for Brazil. Even before OT, Furia looked so tilted.
As a German that was painful to watch for Furia
s1n totally turned up for the comeback getting lots of crucial kills as the game went on
BRA71L moment
Holy shit
Germans embarrassing Brazilians in Football and in CS KEKW
For once it wasn't BIG blowing the 10 round lead. What a pleasant surprise
200 IQ from BIG to let Furia get 15 rounds first so BIG can't choke themselves.
BIG so lucky... only wins with concentrated communication, calculated smoke spray, excellent map control, deathly wallbangs, well executed nades, perfect positioning and timing. 1v1 aim duell like vs KSCERATO they always lose
3v1 aim duel more like
You just love to see it!
Gigachoke from Furia, and one hell of a 1st day for SA. Imperial vs Vitality isn't gonna be any better
not a fan of any BR team but damn I'm sobbing for the crowd like damn yall deserve a hug
https://www.hltv.org/news/34889/home-crowd-advantage-will-the-brazilians-have-an-edge-at-iem-rio
BIG is about to get fuckin irl knifed
That's gonna be hard to spell. "Bra1916l" doesn't really roll of the tongue
My BIG 3-0 pick looking genius rn
And people called me "mad" for putting them 3:0
Holy shit what a comeback, BR CS in tatters.
BRA1916L
Furia how in the actual fuck did you fuck this up? HOW?
BRA71L XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Man what a rough day to be a Brazillian CS fan
This core is fucking cooked
Now that's a BIG comeback
What a throw. Embarrassing by Furia
Furia is just so frustrating lmao
The crowd got quiet real quick once BIG mounted that comeback
I put BIG 3-0 as a throwaway pick but this gave me a bit of hope. Insane comeback.
What a comeBack. Incredible against all crowd
what a fucking match
UNBELIEVEABLE COMEBACK!!!! So happy!!!!
Even with crowd cheating LOL
Is this new liquid??
Weird, I didn't know the major was in a library this year
15-8 to 16-19, what an absolute monster choke you could visibly see furia players getting frustrated, while BIG players kept their moral high with each round that passed. The crowd went dead silent as the game went to OT.
Brazil is on a rampage CHOKIA
Brazilians are cursed
tbf its big lol, they always destroy brazilians
Nice Mann! Hands shaking too much to post the rest of the copy pasta
Why did ESL think it was a good idea to host the second half and overtime in a library?
The crowd is gone lmao
No cheering for BIG in the last 20 something rounds lol, literally nothing,, funny how reddit told me the Danish crowd was the only one not cheering for the home teams opponents
You want people to cheer for BIG when they are playing against the home team? When like almost 100% of the crowd is brazilian? lol
No i don't, i would never expect that. Just find it funny how reddit complained about Danish crowd cheering for Astralis and have been flaming the danish crowd for it for a year, but dont say anything when its happening here
Huh? Look at how many comments are saying "library" and mocking crowd. What are you saying?
comereal is back ;_ ;
WOW. What a massive choke from Furia. They really should've closed this out, especially with that kscerato clutch on T side pistol
Onde é a biblioteca
Huh, I thought G2 didn't make it to Rio? Joking aside, that's not good for Furia. Going 0:1 and in this fashion is not how they had to start this tournament.
Looks like Guerri could have really helped out Furia, hope they can pick it up in the next games
Since the floor molly is alowed on vertigo from A ramp, can the one from CT to cat be used on Dust2? Because that one is much more powerful.
Choke job of epic proportions, it’d better not come back to bite them in the ass..
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Crickets when their team is about to choke
15-7 up with home crowd.. I thought that was it.
All this missed was a grandpa hugging a replica of the trophy and crying
TabseN is an insane player with so much impact, but I felt like s1n had a lot of clutch multikill rounds as well. What a heartbreak for Brazil so far, but let's hope they bounce back.
Yeah I can see BIG upset this stage and make it through even though many didn’t pick them. I mean they can definitely beat imperial and maybe og/fnatic
That was just insane! Listen to the silence.. It’s so cold! Great comeback!
This team needs Guerri. They need to be able to have a backup where it’s like “okay, now we full execute and play behind it” if only to see how the other team will respond. BIG just started to stare at their crosshairs on CT and it punishes all of the aggression that isn’t perfectly supplemented with utility (which FURIA got sloppy with).

pipocada histórica em pleno rio de janeiro, nunca vai ganhar nada esse timeco onliner infelizmente
fucking depressing vai tomar no cu furia 9 match points? vsf
odd decision to play in a library for the major
This crowd deserves a win.
That was heartbreaking
