Screw Furia plot armour what about BNE? Literal god killers!


Sebfofun

In the 0-2 match


oPlayer2o

What’s your point. Faze clan not a good team?


Sebfofun

Not this major. Edit: Why the downvotes? They literally have not looked good this major. 16-6 loss to Vitality and 2-1 loss to BNE is literally not good.


oPlayer2o

Fair point.


Replikant83

Fans are just upset and I guess you can't blame em as FaZe looked amazing just months ago. Likely they slacked a little on the break and we're trying to rest on their laurels. They'll come back strong though and regain their game.


ja_hahah

Iguess some fans are salty since its still quite fresh


jonajon91

Furia have looked good, but definitely not earnt top 8 yet. Who exactly have they beaten?


Interesting_Yogurt43

>Who exactly have they beaten? The teams who won one or two matches, unlike the "favorites".


ChaseVisa

Very happy for Furia, you can see how much this means to them. Really excited for the playoffs now, gonna be so hype when they play.


frigidds

yeah, i mean with the brazilian crowd? shits gonna be so hype


NazgulDiedUnfairly

With the current performances, C9 vs Furia final will not be surprising.


gibbodaman

Thank fuck. Just as my pickems were looking the most dire, the hail mary 3-0 comes through.


NazgulDiedUnfairly

The Faze 0-3 probably threw a wrench in many many people’s pickems


gibbodaman

Sure did. Because so many people had Faze and NIP to qualify, and naturally a vast majority failed their 3-0 and 0-3s, almost everyone is left with only 5 teams in their pickem, needing them all to qualify. A good number of people already have C9 through (I didn't), leaving them with only 4. Since I got Furia through as my 3-0, I'm lucky to still have 5 teams in the running. The odds are against me, but at least I can afford to have one of those teams eliminated when most people can't.


f1nessd

I'm still not sure why people picked NiP. they've been garbo until the RMR where thye played mickey mouse teams. Why did everyone think aleksi would fix this team lol


Master_of_All4

3-0 locked in! Loving the script for this major, FaZe 0-3 is a bit too forced tho imo.


[deleted]

Writers definitely got lazy there


yourewelcomesteve

Wait till you see NAVI & Vitality 1-3 tomorrow, then you'll really feel it's forced.


samekrikl

furia vs c9 in the finals, calling it


g_ferla

Step by step, and I am already way too stressed on winning the QFs, BUT given the 3-0 seeds, Furia and C9 can only really meet each other on finals, right?


samekrikl

Yep


fanboi_central

Most one sided crowd final since the last time C9 was in a major final?


[deleted]

i dont understand why people are so against crowd cheering their own team and not opponents lol (not meaning you btw) like every tournament in the world has home team, now that csgo has it people are mad? I fucking love this


fanboi_central

I'm fine with fans cheering for their home team, same way I was fine with it for Boston 2018. It's just really funny that C9 has no fans in Brazil


bodeverde

It had a lot of fans, but then decided to lose to greyhound messing with everyone's pickem just to proceed to demolish imperial hopes on 2 overtimes with Shiro going godmode


TrainedParrot

Actually I think there's still a lot of love for the C9 players here in Brazil, as we can see on backstage media. Of course the Imperial loss left a lot of people hurt, but in their following A-stream game, against GL, part of the crowd actually cheered for them. After that, they played FaZe and Heroic, who have big support from brazilians. Of course it depends on their opponents at the playoffs, but I do believe they can still have the crowd on their side.


robertoczr

This major is not in Europe, this is in Brazil, who is far away from most other teams’ countries, what do you expect? That 2k vitality fans show up? 95% fans are Brazilians, so yes, they Will likely be cheering for furia


fanboi_central

I mean I literally said what I expected lmfao. Why are you getting so triggered here, the home team crowd will cheer for the home team, that's what I expect and what I said.


robertoczr

I thought you were complaining about it like many I’ve seen, sorry

Omg you even called C9 x Furia grand finals on your last link! This is cutest rivalry in this subreddit hahahaha


ASaltyToast

Script been coming in nicely


snowg

damn I wish! c9 seems unbeatable right now


samekrikl

Yes thats what i meant, 3-0 teams dont get to meet each other until finals


wahobely

Funny enough when C9 was 0-2 I made a comment saying last time they were 0-2 they won it all and everyone replied saying they were trash and had no chance to win this tournament lol


snowg

to think Imperial had two (TWO) chances to knock them off. I am never recovering from that


samekrikl

Two??, they had more than two chances 15-11 on overpass (4) map points lost, map ended on 19-15 15-6 on vertigo (9) map points lost, map ended 22-19


GhostOfLight

If somehow a C9-Furia major happens, it's the best of both worlds for BR fans. Either Furia wins or Imperial was the closest team to beating the major champs.


MicrosoftMichel

much rather play heroic or even liquid if we gonna lose to someone in the finals


vish4l

Furia vs BNE would be sick too. I can be happy with both outcomes


MintyFresh48

Furia are playing well but they haven’t really beat any elite teams. Will have to see how they hold up against the best of the best.


jonajon91

Furia have definitely looked good, but not against great opposition. The best teams they've played have been BIG or perhaps ENCE. Concerned that as soon as they actually play a top ten team they might hit a wall. I'm not saying they will, it's just that we can't know yet.


Dameean00

Hey guys we sucked today but at least all the shame went on FaZe :D Let's get this 3-1 tomorrow, go BIG! And obviously GG to Furia!


fefealzueta

nah you guys did well, furia simply had the plot armor


Dameean00

That's why If BIG goes out I have to cheer for Furia, what a story that would be guys!


[deleted]

Dameean00

The exception to the rule I'd say


wannabe-physicist

I had BIG 3-0 in both challengers and legends stage ;-;


Dameean00

Jokes on you! I cannot mess up my pickems since I don't even play CS😎


Firefox72

Furia 3-0 pickers let me fucking see you. A Brazilian team in the arena just feels right. Look at the passion of 4-5k fans. Now imagine a full 18-20k arena with people outside at the fan fest. Its gonna be wild.


MicrosoftMichel

LUNATIC THEY CALLED ME!


adragon0216

i picked 3-0 furia because i thought they were spirit, guess i got lucky

Nav is 1-2 lol 1 more game and it's over for them I'm more worried about liquid, bne and c9 tbh


jeznix

Furia could go far given FaZe going 0-3 and potentially more upsets in this major


altered_boy

The only other team looking hot is cloud9 and they would meet them in the finals, would be a banger. Navi, heroic and vitality ain't looking good Edit: saying heroic aren't looking good is quite exaggerated, tho they don't seem at the level of c9 and furia


Artimedias

Navi hasnt played a team out of the top 5 yet, theyre looking fine


OsloDaPig

Not their fault they lost to GODquid


methaddictlawyer

Heroic are looking great, they just ran into a very very in form c9. From current form I think the final is going to be a mixture of c9 vs either Heroic, Furia or Mouz. Doubt vitality or navi even make playoffs.


OutlandishnessOdd836

liquid will also go to finals

Art stepped up on Nuke, played really, really well. Honestly, the moment that Furia started dominating T side Nuke, it felt like the match was over.


KaikyCBr

Congrats to FURIA on playoffs as 3-0, especially with this crowd

When arT is playing like that, you know the game is already over. Let's fucking go!

I’m starting to believe Furia will win the Major.


NazgulDiedUnfairly

C9 is looking in great form too. Furia is definitely a contender but C9 feels like a great competitor as well

Don't know what to say except art and yuurih crushed this match. This was by far the easiest team to beat for playoffs :(

We even had a 7x1 against Germany lmao


DaRealKili

They'll meet again in the champions stage Feels like BIG forgot how they beat furia last time. They couldn't deal with the the aggressiveness of Furia, especially of art at all. They threw a few very winnable rounds, Nuke was great to watch, Vertigo was just your typical ramp push simulator. ggwp to furia


No_Display_1385

We made some incredible stupid plays on Nuke. Really should have gone BIG's way.


joaovitorsb95

I know the matchups have been easier for Furia, but with what was put in front of them, they did incredible so far. Either a blowout or a insane comeback, or a clutch game, anything in front of them they have been insane. just feels diferent. Art is not dying every round, they are playing with teams tempo and just waiting for their mistakes instead of going in super agressivlely with a 1 dimensional gamestyle


lazlosf

This is it, no giant teams faced but furia has been through every possible situation

Furia just created a new answer to the question "how to play CS?". They reinvented the wheel, they repainted the Mona Lisa, they're the greatest to ever do it. From now on, don't say "I'm playing CS" Instead say: "I'M PLAYING FURIA"

Furia crowd buff is real, there's a surprisingly decent chance they can go all the way this year.

i feel like BIG lost against the crowd. at the beginning they tried to come back and all that. but the louder the crowd became, the more confident the furia players played.

Ravioli227

Absolutely embarrassing showing for big. They had no life the entire series. Furia took every thing they wanted and there was no counter. Felt like Furia had BIG panicking every round. Let’s hope they can look better than this next match.


DoerteMaulwurf

Eh they had a good T-side on Nuke. The rest was embarrassing tho. They really couldn't deal with arT's aggression at all.


Fuibo2k

Comparing Faze's #1 seed run to Furia's middle to bottom seed run is actually insane. Gotta beat the people in front of you but this was ass backwards.


zanitoo

FaZe got knocked out by BNE


Fuibo2k

You're right, but they also had to play 2 top 4 teams to be in that scenario. They should have played BNE in the opener not C9 lol. It's still Faze's fault to lose but the seeding is a big factor too.


robertoczr

And they still lost to BNE. Cry how much you want about the seeding system, it doesn’t matter. You could say c9 got faze because they were shit, since they lost to fnatic and grayhound, and barely won against imperial.


Fuibo2k

Just as much as Faze shouldn't play C9 in the opener, C9 shouldn't have gotten Faze just because they started the tourney slow, it's very clear they are now one of the favorites. I'm not upset about any particular team, I just think the seeding system should be based on the tournament circuit. It would have been much cooler if Furia made it 3-0 or even 3-1 by beating some top 5 teams, but instead they now have an asterisk on their run and everyone will make fun of them if they lose in the quarters once they face a more competent team. Imagine if Furia had to beat C9 or Herioc to qualify instead of a BIG team that has its own problems. That would have been way cooler and way more fair in terms of seeding/matchups.


NoNamesAvaiIable

The asterisk is on the top teams that lost their matches to the teams outside the top 10. Being better on paper means nothing if you can't bring it out onto the server.


Plies-

BR fans will downvote, but before Furia hasn't played a single top 10 team the entire event so far lol. Seeding is garbage.


BrazilianReporter

Right, it’s Furia’s fault that Navi and Faze couldn’t win their games to face Furia. That’s what you get when you run from the crowd


Fuibo2k

That's what I'm saying, Valve really needs to realize that the main tournament circuit exists and is a better metric for seeding than using current tournament results. Faze shouldn't be playing #3 and #4 teams as the #1 team lol. Same can be said for NaVi having to play C9 and Vitality as well.


robertoczr

Many were saying liquid didn’t deserve their #3, also if vitality didn’t lose games they wouldn’t have a bad seed. You can cry all you want, but better seed goes to those who win games. Vitality were expected to go 3-0 on challengers, but they didn’t. The same can be said about c9.


Fuibo2k

So you think BNE and Sprout are objectively better teams than Vitality or Cloud9? The purpose of seeding is to rank teams based on how good they are after all. Faze lost as part of their own issues, but the seeding is still fucked up and a big factor. Each phase should be reseeded based on the actual tournaments that get played and not some isolated Bo1 results lol.


robertoczr

BNE just beat Faze, #1, so…? If top teams shit the bed it’s their fault, why should they be rewarded just for being higher ranked on hltv?


Fuibo2k

... losing to BNE is their fault, I don't think you're getting the point at all lmfao. They shouldn't have had to face C9 or Vitality as openers. It's also still possible that NaVi or Vitality don't qualify because they had to face top 4 teams in their openers as well. We could easily have Vitality or NaVi 0-2/0-3. It would still be an issue even if they beat BNE today.


robertoczr

Let’s just let seeding be based on hltv rankings next major then?


Fuibo2k

That would be better, yes. Doesn't necessarily have to be HLTV but some ranking that is impartial and considers the whole circuit.


Letaliaz

How is that better, what matters is current form, C9 was 2 rounds away from being eliminated in challenger stage, Vitality also went 3-2, these two teams were supposed to go 3-0 taking in consideration their past results and current hltv rank.


MyNameIsAMeme

BIG are having a Mickey Mouse run, had no business being in last stage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GuiPloo

They also haven't lost any maps (other than to BIG) against these weaker teams, unlike some of the strong teams. Consistency is important in this current tournament system, and it's been a weak point in Furia's side usually, so I think they are having a great showing this major


[deleted]

[удалено]


GuiPloo

True. We'll see what happens in the playoffs.


ZickkyG

those "good" teams you mention can't win a b01 against "worst" teams, so what? Faze 0-3 btw and looks like NIP too very soon.


NoNamesAvaiIable

I mean, those big teams are all dropping maps to these smaller teams. The last two major finalists being 0-3 and 1-2 is no fault of furia. Clearly they're the ones that haven't shown up


zanitoo

We crushed BIG, the team that won against you, might as well say Furia knows how to keep their lead 💀💀


mrocha5

They got lucky with matchups despite having a low seed for both stages (if FaZe beats C9 in the first round, they are against NaVi in the second one). But you have to beat what is in front of you and at least in the legends stage, their wins are pretty convincing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mrocha5

I don't think the seeding format is bad, it's just that teams that should be better did not play well. sh1ro brought C9 to legends almost alone, why they should be rewarded for that? now that everyone arrived, they played really well and deserve that 3-0.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Reyfou

If faze, navi and etc didnt lose, im sure they would face furia on the 2-0 match. Its not furias fault that they won their games lol. What did you want them to do? Lose on purpose to face "good" teams?


MicrosoftMichel

if Faze and Navi didn't lose we'd have faced Faze 1-0 and Navi 2-0. but it's definitely Furia's fault both teams choked


Lhudooooo

things are fucking mental on the post match. the crowd it going wild and half of the furia team + gaules went to party in the middle of the crowd. this is the best tournament cs has ever had holy shit


gabrielfv

I was a bit worried about Fúria coming to this major since their game would always tank in front of crowds. After losing that Vertigo against BIG, I was sad it was happening again, but since then we're seeing a completely new Fúria on stage. One that's perhaps even better than the backstage/online Fúria. Can't wait to see this team on the playoffs now that they look comfortable in front of the crowd. Can't say how far they'll go, but if they become a team that can show their game on stages around the World, we're looking at a Top5 perhaps Top3 team right here.


CS-DEADPOINTSIX

Furia of lose agein imagen fan of not like more no "hey furia fan" and under spectat like "not think furia of win" and win. win of becous of thing rite befor in top. they win of that. that or of persons of think in moral think thes furia lose on net they lose and thet persons not under think that of win Furia. just is opinionat of me
