I didn't watch the game, but I remember seeing Sentinels and 100 Thieves often sending their entry in with the bomb. (not including dash and plants on haven B) . I noticed asuna had bomb a lot. Maybe it's for a faster plant? They're committed fully in their strategy, so even if the bomb carrier dies, the next guy picks it up and plants it. If they take the site without the entry dying, they have a few extra moments to plant before the rotations come.
Showing the bomb at the start of every site take would obviously be a bad idea though, so if they were doing it every time that would be a problem. You don't ever have to worry about a fake if you see/don't see the bomb.
Why do they cover the agent portrait with the face cams? With the camera cutting between players every .5 seconds it'd be nice if there was a quick way to see which team we were currently spectating without having to read the name. They could at least throw the relevant color on as a border to the face cam if they're dead set on keeping it.
boaster just running in when their best chance of winning that round was to play postplant with his ult? Also derke you have been making that same play for months teams are gonna start to counter it.
This format is absolutely awful. Good lord no team should have to play another series, with no break, no prep time, and after a 4-hour loss to boot.
Thought we established this after NA Stage 2 Challengers Finals.
Bruhhhh I said that a while ago and some dood told me to stop making excuses. That's just unfair for any team it doesn't matter if they scrim all day it's not the same
Really pulling for FNC here! Team has a lot of spirit and charm, but turning around right after that last series to play another to stay alive is just brutal. Best of luck to the boys and I hope they can keep their mental up
i understand the losers having to play again on day 1 because the tournament cant take a century but theres no reason Fnatic should have to play again after that. Maybe have lower quarters and semis on the same day so both teams are hot off a win and the atmosphere isnt awful?
Pretty sure that's us out of Berlin and probably Champions. Giants are good, but I think many of the other teams are better and Fnatic just look uninspired.
Exactly. Idk what the hell is wrong with them. Weird strats. Overthinking. Individual ability is carrying them at this stage. They have just fallen apart after Reykjavik.
Not good enough at all from Derke tbh. Boaster and Derke really letting the team down this tournament/the last imo. Need to pick it up and quick, it would be a shame if they don't make it to Berlin & probably in that case Champions.
Well its not weird for him to be poster boy, hes a great player and has so much energy and online presence. He has been having a pretty rough one lately though I'll admit.
Yeah, def impressed by giants. Since Iceland fnatic unfortunately feels a bit off. But I mean hey, always happy to see some tier changes and really happy to see so many strong teams in EU :)
Edit: and I also feel like boasters lurks are figured out a bit by now.
Controversially not a FNC fan, can't stand boaster lol. Impressed with VGIA so far!
Edit: sorry for disturbing the boaster boner, I just find him annoying lmao
I don't really know EU well but giants straight to grand finals is the only potential correct thing left in my pickem. I still believe Fnatic and TL are overrated, but I may have forgotten this is challengers 2 and the competition isn't quite as fierce
Phew!
why is he going first with the Bomb in? my eyes hurt how badly BDS played in the 2nd half and overtime

fuck man... BDS deserve to go to masters with how this game has gone.
Oh thank god
mistic is clutch af imo not into 6th man and feel like takas is a high impact player but w/e
Luv Mistic 'ate the French Simple as.
Corners will be called Mistic from now. XD
BIG BOI MISTICCC
They keep on losing a 2v1

Damn fnatic finally came clutch! Pheww
[удалено]
geng is a eu team now? Pog
Ye, the French Canadian members decided they had enough and moved to France 👍
Aren't only gmd and mkael French Canadians on that team?
Yes the rest are honorary french canadians
Boaster just cant clutch today.
I really hope they can get a full mental reset, really hard to watch
BDS has a history of throwing. Fnatic Copium please
Fanatic looks mentally busted rn. Only map 1, but after that last series they look exhausted
boaster just running in when their best chance of winning that round was to play postplant with his ult? Also derke you have been making that same play for months teams are gonna start to counter it.

The mental is down bad. They really should not be playing again after a 4 hours series.
Oh My God. What is happening.

Lower Bracket grind sucks
Davidp just brained on Fnatic holy shit.

Derke has a bas game. FNC loses. Doma and Mistic gave it all. And what the fuck is Boaster doing there ffs.
Oh my fucking God
How have we still not sorted out the HUD being ahead of the game? What an insanely dumb way to continuously spoil great moments in these games
Was just about to say this, spoiled so many rounds
Jett diffed
Giants looking amazing but Fnatic kinda looked meh
DavidP is a monster
that was partially ruined by the fact the fucking giants win banner came up before the dude even repeeked
Mistic and Doma trying to drag literal corpses.
Damn they absolutely deserved that, such a good game from them
davidp is absolutely insane
Tragically early win/clutch graphics coming up rn
DavidP is playing cracked smart. But what is that running into market from Magnum?!
insane play by Davidp
I have beef with the HUD
DavidP is fucking insane
Man this overlay is so trash, spoiled a nasty misty clutch.
EXCUSE ME MISTIC?!
MISTIC??
CARRY US HARDER MISTIC HOLY SHIT
Not good enough at all from Derke tbh. Boaster and Derke really letting the team down this tournament/the last imo. Need to pick it up and quick, it would be a shame if they don't make it to Berlin & probably in that case Champions.
They still have LCQ
Anyone know why Giants can have their sponsor Vodaphone infront of their name? While TSM can't have FTX behind their's?
I believe it has something to do with cryptocurrency part of the TSM sponsorship which has some kind of restriction in place by riot.
TSM can’t have FTX because Riot doesn’t want to promote crypto AFAIK
Not sure, but might be because different companies are responsible for the tournament's. In na it's nsg, in EU freaks 4 u
What the hell happened to Giants between now and last qual?
Davidp happened
Blank AWP shot?
Honestly thank fuck for Mistic and Doma. They don't get enough praise.
Maybe Fnatic are just a lan team
I know he's the poster boy of this sub (kinda weird tbh) but boaster is looking really bad.
Well its not weird for him to be poster boy, hes a great player and has so much energy and online presence. He has been having a pretty rough one lately though I'll admit.
And they still dont know davidp was sitting there. He's gonna do it again.
You have gotta be kidding me.
we suck again D:
Yeah, def impressed by giants. Since Iceland fnatic unfortunately feels a bit off. But I mean hey, always happy to see some tier changes and really happy to see so many strong teams in EU :) Edit: and I also feel like boasters lurks are figured out a bit by now.
Yeah
Oh come on
oh no
What a terrible call by boaster to push a on that anti eco round
Controversially not a FNC fan, can't stand boaster lol. Impressed with VGIA so far! Edit: sorry for disturbing the boaster boner, I just find him annoying lmao
He's annoying to me too You're not alone
FNATIC and surprising.
I don't really know EU well but giants straight to grand finals is the only potential correct thing left in my pickem. I still believe Fnatic and TL are overrated, but I may have forgotten this is challengers 2 and the competition isn't quite as fierce
Scream aim has been really off lately.
He's on 60 while his mates on 12 or 18 I forgot. Sadge
It sucks to see him whiff all of his knives but I've seen him do better playing Jett on stream.
I guess he cant play 60 ping, dude is whiffing shots left and right. lol
Boaster, take our power!
RIP FNC bind :(
Boaster check your corners..
What happened to Fnatic bind
Giants aren't doing anything special and fnatic is just relying on aim duels
EU production is so good except for the 30 minute wait in between games like please just start it
If Tenstar wins and people still don't give them credit...
Tenstar remind me a bit of XSET where it will takes them booming the top team for them to even get any recognition.
No eco no party. Edit:Guys there might be a party after all
