they're not just a mix team .. they have been playing together for a long time just not officially as a team

they didn't remove mecca, mecca just didn't want to go .. hurley invited me just 4 days ago, i refused to go as i had other plans ..
what i'm saying is, this is not a regular mix team of random players. there's a larger group of friends that have been playing together since long ago, these are just 5 of them and they are just playing the best they know and things went OK thankfully
also, you don't need to practice "as a team" for a month to play good. if you're used to your teammates and all of you happen to be in a really good day and things go well you can do very good against anyone. CS requires 70% skill, 10% confidence in yourself and you're teammates, and other 10% for playing as a team ... training overdone tactics wont give if anything extra ..

blablabla, try to go outside without training as a team, you will be smashed.
this happens just in portugal.
30% skill
30% teamplay
30% intelegence
10% luck

Happens everywhere. The difference on big international events is that all of the players are really close skill-wise. What made fnatic win so much, or Navi for example, was how good they knew each other.
If you don't have the skill you just can't win.
If you have better skills than the other team, the other team won't be saved be ub3r l33t tactics.
Intelligence is part of being skilled.
And, as i said, all you need is to know your teammates and all of you be as good as each other, teamplay comes naturally on those circumstances. I know this cause i've been on teams like that and teams that rely on countless hours of practice. Guess what, those countless hours wouldn't make a difference. In the end it's all about skill and playing with people you're used to.

go read the tournament rules for the brackets instead of saying just a bunch of crap ...
brackets were done so the final would be a fair match with the two best teams overall

fair? it was noted then, says me because of the k1ck were in group 5 and stay in the group where the bracket would later confront the defs? why not the reverse and be k1ck paranoids and face before the final?

do you know what seeds are ?
Paranoids and K1CK were the highest seeds and the two highest seeds are not supposed to meet before the final ... that's how good tournaments are organized, if you don't know that that's because either you've never been to one or you don't have a clue of how things work
brackets were done so the theoretically better teams would meet later on the tournament giving us the best matches ..
Having K1CK and Paranoids face off befora the final would be stupid as the final could be between THE best team, coming out of K1CK vs Paranoids match, and a lower team that didn't face a real giant on their way to the final
like i said, if you don't know what you're talking abou just don't say anything

but for you paranoids > Defs ? Is best only before the change of lineup. But the brackets offered two byes and the k1ck had to be placed in low-bye , where they were placed on the defs, and not because they were placed where the paranoids? All progammed early in the tournament.

seriously, are you really that dumb ?
I just told you K1CK and Paranoids were the highest seeds so they were not supposed to meet before the final because that way we would have the best possible final, in theory ..
that was the only reason why they were put into separate brackets
go see how old CPL brackets were made(i know you weren't around by that time) and you'll understand what i'm saying
stop being stupid with those conspiracy theorys, just a big load of non-sense.
