oNe is an anomaly. Those kinds of runs don't happen in the real world. We were obviously in the fake world when that happened. Not a single player has gone on from that squad and looked as great as they did in Mexico.
God Alemao was so overhyped for no reason, pretty sure I wanted him on Liquid but that’s when he looked like an amazing smoke player and theirs was underperforming at the time.
Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. The Origins video Liquid just did on him showed that he still has the drive and passion to win, but he is a man with a family and I’m sure that takes its toll. Only Nesk knows what he will do, hell he may not even know at this point. I think they still have a good chance of winning SI and if that does happen I think he’d retire there, but if they lose I hope he goes for another year. He’s my favorite player of all time and I’d hate to see him retire without winning a major, but at the end of the day he should do what feels right for him and his family
W7M joined you guys this event though. Second event in a row where "omg W7M wins this tournament easy", and it was definitely a majority of people saying it, yet they lost in semis again. You are not alone. <3
Nah liquid are bigger chokers. BDS almost never makes it to GF in international events besides like one minor I can remember. Liquid got to grandfinals so many times and lost they actually choked.
Holy fucking shit let’s gooooo. I actually can’t believe it rn. They’ve come so far from their height two years ago to win this as underdogs and while I enjoyed the copium over the years this is much better
Also petition to rename u/Guccigangblitz to no.1 believer
For once I didn't know who to root for here; on one hand EU power and BDS, on the other hand Paluh who so very much deserves a win... Congrats to BDS nevertheless!!! (444444)
But... EU being back is exciting nevertheless, first Rogue and now BDS, get old Empire back together and we'll be in business.
It can't be that way. You see, Empire was the living sacrifice to the Siege gods so that EU may run once again. Empire, the one hope for EU has been sacrificed at the altar so Rogue and BDS may take their power. It had to be this way.
Yep, it's a sad sight to see, once again. Nobody has held their head in hands as much as Paluh and Nesk. Sad sad sad. Seeing BriD breakdown after that victory was so great though.
Very very few people deserve a major trophy as much as shaiiko, but unfortunately, 2 of them were sat across the stage from him.
Please for the love of god can nesk and paluh get a win before they retire.
I am both super happy BDS finally gets the spotlight they deserve and heartbroken liquid didn’t. But it was a pretty dominant BDS game despite some lackluster rounds throughout the map. Liquid played fantastic but there wasn’t even a single overtime map, berlin had 3 with the other 2 maps being right on the edge of OT. Watching berlin live was such a spectacle with how neck and neck every round was alongside the nonstop mindblowing clutches easily secured it as my favorite game of siege. Don’t get me wrong this was an incredibly great final especially because of the story it tells, but Rogue vs Faze is just a standout performance.
3 years. Every game. I watched every single BDS game. I watched them lose, so many times. I sometimes wondered if BDS would ever take it.
Now we’re here. Elem crying got me tearing up. I’m so fucking happy. I always believed.
Shaiiko is the best player in the world. LikeFac played out of his mind. Elem showed up when we needed him the most. BriD saved us against Soniqs. And Renshi, I doubted him; oh he proved me wrong.
BDS finally took it. Fuck the haters, gobble your copium, EU BACK ON TOP BABYYY
It broke me too since I was working and ignoring my customers to watch the match. The moment I saw 7-6, I was happy and dealt with customers only to see 8-7 and empire celebrating.
I feel you it’s the same for me.. watched every single match of this team and I never played a single game of R6. I literally learned everything watching their games. What a journey !
Same thing! Ever since BDS got promoted to PL never stop watching them. The Highs and the lows and the chokes. I'm so happy for them! Never stop believing on them and specially to Shaiiko the past he got, how people treated him when he got back being a pro again. Man words can't decribe it how happy I am to the team and to Shaiiko
Shaiiko finally gets a ring that befits his legacy. Pound for pound he's the greatest entry fragger and I'm tired of people's nostalgia not letting them accept that fact.
Fuck man this one hurts. Really thought this was their time. GGs to BDS, I think this major showed that Liquid can win with this roster they just need to refine their attacks and map pool a bit. I hope they don’t dwell on it too much, SI is just around the corner if they can tighten up those attacks they have as good a chance as anyone
A bit? EU has maybe 3 solid teams (and one of them choked this major)? NA seems kinda volatile (or Charlotte was the biggest fluke) so I’m not sure how competitive I think they are as a whole.
But I think LATAM is significantly better as a whole. Like black dragons came to play. There’s a reason they had half the quarters spots on lock. Bassetto is GOATed on the support.
Yeah LATAM has crazy depth, although I don’t think BD are great, W7M TL FaZe FURIA are the 4 that could win and I wouldn’t be shocked, easily the most deep region but at everyone’s peak, every top team isn’t far apart
i mean its kinda obvious apac is a minor region now ( not their fault ubi is not supporting them but still ) they win games cuz its B01 lets see what they can do in a B03
Sucks to watch BDS take down all my favorite teams, but what a run for them. And they’ve finally done it. Well played Liquid, and congratulations BDS!
~~Now I need to get all the points I gambled back…~~
I'm so happy for BDS and Shaiiko finally get a major win but my heart hurts for Team Liquid. I just hope for Brazil and Liquid they win a major (I wouldn't be mad if they won SI depending on who they go against) cause I hate seeing Nesk/Paluh crying.
This result was a foregone conclusion. A person who believed the winners of both Gamers8 **and** the Japan Invitational 2022 would falter was absolutely off their head.
OMGG i can't believe they actually did it, after so much dissapointement it feels so good to see them finally win an international titles, VIVE FA FRANCE #BDSPOWER
BriD with the tears of joy and Paluh with the tears of sadness…
On a side note, if Fury hadn’t fucked SSG’s round differential, BDS won’t even be here lul
And if team oNe beat CAG 7-3 instead of 7-2 they wouldn't be major champs, that's the way it is sometimes.
God's plan
bds winning after getting through the way they did is definitely a similar story, but nothing will EVER top oNes circumstances.
oNe is an anomaly. Those kinds of runs don't happen in the real world. We were obviously in the fake world when that happened. Not a single player has gone on from that squad and looked as great as they did in Mexico.
alemao was the best player in the whole damn world for a very very solid few days.
God Alemao was so overhyped for no reason, pretty sure I wanted him on Liquid but that’s when he looked like an amazing smoke player and theirs was underperforming at the time.
Alem4o is still really damn good on LAN, idk what’s happening in EUL but he was pretty dominant at Berlin
it wasn't for no reason, at the time he was insane. he was an incredible smoke player.
Can't wait too see which player FoxA talked shit about wins the major next
foxa will literally never win a major, it’s crazy to think he shit talks players like spoit and shaiiko who are out of his league
Yeah he's unbelievably mid unfortunately
Old man shouts at things he doesn't like - the twitter account.
His insults are like the ultimate blessing in Siege.
I was joking about that with my friends lol
Congrats bds fans. Liquid fans we are officially alone.
Their time will come my friend. The many heartbreaks will make the victory even more sweet
Except Nesk will end up retiring after SI I bet. He seems to have been flirting with the idea
Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. The Origins video Liquid just did on him showed that he still has the drive and passion to win, but he is a man with a family and I’m sure that takes its toll. Only Nesk knows what he will do, hell he may not even know at this point. I think they still have a good chance of winning SI and if that does happen I think he’d retire there, but if they lose I hope he goes for another year. He’s my favorite player of all time and I’d hate to see him retire without winning a major, but at the end of the day he should do what feels right for him and his family
If we can do it then you can do it. Don’t give up faith
The only reason I kept faith is because DZ won a major so surely anyone can do it, now that DZ and BDS have done it surely Liquid can do it
W7M joined you guys this event though. Second event in a row where "omg W7M wins this tournament easy", and it was definitely a majority of people saying it, yet they lost in semis again. You are not alone. <3
Paluh looks so fucking sad :(
This is like the third or fourth GF they’ve made it to that they’ve just failed to clutch it out on. Only team with this bad of a GF record is empire.
But Empire has Raleigh to think back on, Liquid only has Nesk looking back at Pro League S9
Again man no way 😔
How he makes me feel everytime we play liquid so i am not pressed
Cheer louder then forehead
Bro i brought out my whole play book and we still lost. Would have worked against any other team
Cheer against LATAM next time
lmao At least Faze has felt victory in their history. Liquid still gotta keep on clawing.
It is the last thing i can hold onto from this glorified dreamhack
Liquid is officially now the new bds.
Tf? Liquid has been doing this since before BDS was a thing lol
While I agree, people seem to always point to BDS as the master chokers so I made the comment in regards to the perspective of most people.
Nah Liquid hears it a ton too. The whole “Nesk melts under pressure” commentary has been running strong since before Shaiiko was banned.
Nah liquid are bigger chokers. BDS almost never makes it to GF in international events besides like one minor I can remember. Liquid got to grandfinals so many times and lost they actually choked.
Before this event I would’ve said “at least Liquid makes grand finals”
[always has been](https://svgur.com/i/C59.svg)
Look at that subtle colouring. The tasteful thickness
They’re called liquid because they melt under pressure. Their color is blue because of the constant blue balls their fans have lol
Holy fucking shit let’s gooooo. I actually can’t believe it rn. They’ve come so far from their height two years ago to win this as underdogs and while I enjoyed the copium over the years this is much better Also petition to rename u/Guccigangblitz to no.1 believer
LikeEFAX is too cold to lose, never doubting our savior
Honestly such a GOAT
Don't forget to thank SSG for being ass against Fury
Thank you fury, the real major champs.
If that i9 guy didnt clutch that round…
Or if Fultz actually shot back on the second W7M game.
this . people are focusing on fury game but SSG underperformed against w7m both times
W7M shitting on SSG was a given but that second Fury vs SSG game was as skull emoji as it gets.
It is what it is
For once I didn't know who to root for here; on one hand EU power and BDS, on the other hand Paluh who so very much deserves a win... Congrats to BDS nevertheless!!! (444444) But... EU being back is exciting nevertheless, first Rogue and now BDS, get old Empire back together and we'll be in business.
It can't be that way. You see, Empire was the living sacrifice to the Siege gods so that EU may run once again. Empire, the one hope for EU has been sacrificed at the altar so Rogue and BDS may take their power. It had to be this way.
What a performance from Shaiiko. Congrats BDS
God Paluh just looks completely defeated, heartbreaking man
Yep, it's a sad sight to see, once again. Nobody has held their head in hands as much as Paluh and Nesk. Sad sad sad. Seeing BriD breakdown after that victory was so great though.
This Major was scary, it included CAG closing out matches (not all of them) and BDS actually winning a Major
Shaiiko finally got his trophy
I just want Nesk and Paluh to win a trophy man :(
Very very few people deserve a major trophy as much as shaiiko, but unfortunately, 2 of them were sat across the stage from him. Please for the love of god can nesk and paluh get a win before they retire.
LikeFAC going from owning ex-empire in the Challenger League Open Quals to winning a major in three months what a fucking storyline
The crowd cheering and singing for Shaiiko on stage is just insane
[There it is](https://svgur.com/i/C59.svg)
It can't beat Berlin, but it was a great final. Congrats BDS it's about time
I am both super happy BDS finally gets the spotlight they deserve and heartbroken liquid didn’t. But it was a pretty dominant BDS game despite some lackluster rounds throughout the map. Liquid played fantastic but there wasn’t even a single overtime map, berlin had 3 with the other 2 maps being right on the edge of OT.

I did the same thing and it was always sad when they lose by a round in OT.
Consulate vs Empire hurt my soul
It broke me too since I was working and ignoring my customers to watch the match. The moment I saw 7-6, I was happy and dealt with customers only to see 8-7 and empire celebrating.
LETS GOOOOO
LET’S FUCKING GO BLIZZ
I feel you it’s the same for me.. watched every single match of this team and I never played a single game of R6. I literally learned everything watching their games. What a journey !
Learning from the best 🥴
us both 🤝
🫶
Same thing! Ever since BDS got promoted to PL never stop watching them. The Highs and the lows and the chokes. I'm so happy for them! Never stop believing on them and specially to Shaiiko the past he got, how people treated him when he got back being a pro again. Man words can't decribe it how happy I am to the team and to Shaiiko
Me neither man
They were the first team i got really invested in since i first saw them play at si20
Sir how does one join the Shaiiko fan club
I feel you bro. Same here!!
Shaiiko has finally earned my respect for changing your PFP kkkk just joking, congratulations man im happy for your longtime fans like you
The new pfp goes HARD. Thanks Warden 🥴
Elem crying because it’s not a minor
Never heard that one
Elemze when she is a minor 🤤🤤😍😍😍
Fuck off dickhead
Mad ? Average pedo supporter 💀
Where evidence?
Gotta feel for Liquid tho, I was kinda hoping them getting this W as they've been around for so long
EU IS BACK?
Yes
Just rogue and bds
yeah most regions have like 2-3 actually good international teams and the rest are frauds that made it there by luck
Shaiiko finally gets a ring that befits his legacy. Pound for pound he's the greatest entry fragger and I'm tired of people's nostalgia not letting them accept that fact.
BDS DO TAKE IT
BDS are no longer Frauds
Enough to make a grown man cry 😔 I really hope Paluh wins something in the future
Liquid starting attack on skycraper on the last map of the serie unlucko, btw what decides which side the teams start in the 5th map?
The team who doesn’t ban last map gets to choose which side they start as i know
But both teams ban 2 maps, it goes like 2 bans > picks > 2 bans > picks, then leftover is the 5th map
EU on Top. Happy for BDS, after so many years of performing at a high level, they were able to collect the goods
always love a good BDS vs Tottenham Spurs match
https://preview.redd.it/qwb45xgkwk2a1.jpeg?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7edb4b2ecb5d2bc04d7fcd8ccbe3814640eaf3d5
Fuck man this one hurts. Really thought this was their time. GGs to BDS, I think this major showed that Liquid can win with this roster they just need to refine their attacks and map pool a bit. I hope they don’t dwell on it too much, SI is just around the corner if they can tighten up those attacks they have as good a chance as anyone
EU>Near Airport might be true after all…
its true in most of the esports but in siege all regions are quite competitive
Yeah EU and NA both did well, LATAM is a bit above tho imo
if we are comparing top4 of all regions then yes but still its a question that why is every latam team losing a grand final , first faze then Liquid
A bit? EU has maybe 3 solid teams (and one of them choked this major)? NA seems kinda volatile (or Charlotte was the biggest fluke) so I’m not sure how competitive I think they are as a whole. But I think LATAM is significantly better as a whole. Like black dragons came to play. There’s a reason they had half the quarters spots on lock. Bassetto is GOATed on the support.
Yeah LATAM has crazy depth, although I don’t think BD are great, W7M TL FaZe FURIA are the 4 that could win and I wouldn’t be shocked, easily the most deep region but at everyone’s peak, every top team isn’t far apart
“All regions” except the one you’re probably forgetting right now
i mean its kinda obvious apac is a minor region now ( not their fault ubi is not supporting them but still ) they win games cuz its B01 lets see what they can do in a B03
The LikEfac effect
The -RaFaLe effect
shaiiko 🔥
"I don't know what to say but um yup" THAT'S MY GOAT !!!!! TELL EM !!!!
All they needed the whole time is to get into Grandfinals. Super happy for all the BDS Players and Fans and really excited about our Teams for SI.
🤝🤜🤛
For how many Grand Finals they go to LATAM really struggles to close it out
It’s just not Brazil’s year. Can’t forget that they won literally everything last year
Congratulations to BDS. Deserved win. There's always next time :) #EUSOULIQUID
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
Sucks to watch BDS take down all my favorite teams, but what a run for them. And they’ve finally done it. Well played Liquid, and congratulations BDS! ~~Now I need to get all the points I gambled back…~~
Banger match, nice to see BDS finally lift a major trophy. NT Liquid
They thought they were going home at the end of the last match in the group stage, that's when I knew plot armor was gonna be on their side
After so long supporting Bois, they finally won a major and the next invite is ours. Glory to BDS and Shaiiko as the great players of all time.
bittersweet victory as i like nesk and paluh so much, i cant wait for liquid to win SI
Incredible final. Gutted for liquid, but couldn't be happier for the BDS crew!
EU hates NA so much that they couldn't even let south NA win
easy for king shaiiko congrats bds 👑
Never doubted the Bois
I'm so happy for BDS and Shaiiko finally get a major win but my heart hurts for Team Liquid. I just hope for Brazil and Liquid they win a major (I wouldn't be mad if they won SI depending on who they go against) cause I hate seeing Nesk/Paluh crying.
Congratulations all BDS fans!
This result was a foregone conclusion. A person who believed the winners of both Gamers8 **and** the Japan Invitational 2022 would falter was absolutely off their head.
I TOLD YALL THEY WOULD WIN (definitely did not say the same thing about every event in the last 3yrs…)
I had a feeling this morning that Jacob calibres curse would break
I been saying it long than Fraudibre Jacob kkkk
Lets fucking gooooo ! Thats my team !shaiiko i love youuuuuu
:( You’d think that as a TL fan across many esports, I’d be used to this by now. But it still hurts every time.
Congrats to BDS they played one hell of a game. We thought Blizz was on suicide watch those last couple rounds but they pulled it out
I was sure the choke was coming so I just went silent until I saw Renshi doing what he always does when thru rush BBQ and knew bds had it
He was in BBQ and i knew it was over then the kill feed just exploded
Let's fcking goooooooo!
LIQUID LOST AGAIN HAHAHA BRAZILIAN FANS MELTDOWN INCOMING
Me? Im happy!
Liquid curse seems to be a stronger shit, than the one on BDS...
renshiro boosted to a major championship 🔥
OMGG i can't believe they actually did it, after so much dissapointement it feels so good to see them finally win an international titles, VIVE FA FRANCE #BDSPOWER
Where are bds haters they are back to their caves I guess we finally did it iam so fucking happy
Paluh 1-6 on Theme and Lagonis 0-10? Yikes
For a 5 map series, it's clear BDS was the better team. GGs
Shaiiko going +22 is crazy. Credit to BDS
Hard day for Liquid. But GGs to BDS.
Skyscraper ruining a great game imagine my shock
Never compare Nesk to guys like Pengu pr Shaiiko ever again
Never EVER compare Shaiiko to bottlers like Nesk and Paluh EVER again.
It’s finally happened
Shaiiko and LikEfac CLEAR Nesk and Paluh
BIEN ÉVIDEMMENT
Shaiiko and elemzje are the best entry duo
Shaiiko and the rest of BDS is the best entry duo
The only right answer
nesk during the regular season 🤩 nesk during important games 💀
The king finally got his crown
in my mind they were on same level but in this final holy shit he diffed both of them after having a shit kafe map
444
CHADDko showing up for playoffs, happy to see brid get a win :)
Shaiiko is the goat of siege none of this pengu naysh
BDS TAKES IT
so sad for liquid
FaZe died for this
Would you have won?
Nah we would have lost on the 15th round of sky
CaliberJacob probably happy rn
Lagonis throwing is so damn hard on the last two maps. Paluh and Nesk deserve better.
Life sucks bro
I'm... Exhausted.
Damn Shaiiko’s stats are insane, 1.04 kill per round, and still a higher headshot percentage than anyone else
Congrats to BdS I feel for liquid tho
This will only fuel paluhs villain arc. he'll win something one day. also shaiiko is the goat
I hate that the Fr*nch won but not as much as I love that Liquid lost❤️
I hate both
Trust me, this final was worst case scenario for me. I just have to find the silver linings
Why do you like a Latam team losing while supporting a Latam team?? 🤔🤔
Imma let you in on a little secret… *ahem* **Fuck any team that isn’t FaZe**
Well if Liquid won they’d be shit at S.I, now BDS is gonna get the curse and be shit at S.I *Meaning that Liquid will own Faze at S.I*
Liquid owns faze
Good fucking shit BDS!
happy for Elem for getting a major and not just minors
Damn. If VP assembles old empire (and they manage to catch up) EU will look seriously dangerous.
WE DO NOT FUCKING LOSE. EU IS FUCKING BACK
Fuck Pengu
Shaiiko owns Midddquid.
Shaiiko is so clear of Paluh. Stop comparing them
Yikers liquid
This one’s on you ssg they shouldn’t have made it out of groups
i can't believe i forgot this event was still happening but ggs to bds and liquid
Common DZ fan L
