fnatic, PENTA progress to playoffs

27-11-2014 17:36

PENTA and fnatic have advanced to the playoffs at DreamHack Winter 2014 after wins over the North Americans of iBUYPOWER and Cloud9.

In the first game, which decided who would advance to the playoffs from group B as the second seed behind dignitas, iBUYPOWER took on PENTA on de_inferno.

The North Americas, led by strong performance by their star player Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce had a dominant defensive half, where they racked a 13-2 lead, shutting PENTA down.

However, they were outdone in the second half. iBP could not figure out the Germans' defense in the second half, and wound up losing 0-14 to be eliminated from DreamHack.

Inferno

In group A the second spot came down between two teams who were defeated by HellRaisers, the heavy favorites fnatic and the second North American team, Cloud9.

Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell's two P2000 kills won fnatic the defensive pistol round on de_dust2, and Cloud9's two force buys weren't successful, thus allowing fnatic to build up their economy.

fnatic then regained their godly counter-terrorist form, which is what has won them so many events in the fall after the additions of Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer and Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson.

Cloud9 could only muster three terrorist side rounds as fnatic reigned supreme, led by the incredible performance of olofmeister, who hit thirty kills in the first sixteen rounds.

Once again the North Americans went for forcebuys in the second half, but even a quad kill by Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin wasn't enough, as fnatic strolled to a convincing 16-3 win.

fnatic beats random team, lots of cheat threads. HR beats fnatic, lots of LOL threads about how fnatic sucks without cheats. fnatic beats C9, cheat threads again. HLTV never disappoints.

or that, C9 didn't make a challenge

2014-11-27 17:42

it really doesn't proves that though. But it's a fact that they didn't cheat today and I think (for whatever that means) that not a single player in fnatic has been cheating.

2014-11-27 17:44

lol C9 is not that good

2014-11-27 17:58

"fnatic won cloud9 16-5 which PROVES that fnatic didnt use any cheats past either :)" That is not really how it works.

2014-11-27 18:07

Why would I'm not be allowed to congratulate these 5 guys? Why are you questioning their legitimization? Oh yes, solely because they are Germans. You're nothing but a racist. Get the fuck off with your stereotypes.

You actually did the same lmao

2014-11-27 22:23

Indeed, it's still stupid.

2014-11-27 18:16

Not sure if troll or just stupid,Thanksgiving is so big in the US.No one is celebrating this in Europe.I don't even care about it tho.

2014-11-27 18:43

2014-11-28 00:39

wow...so clueless :D:D:D

Explain to me please :(

Thanksgiving is probably the biggest Holiday in USA ( at least top3) so i dont know what you are talking about :P

2014-11-27 19:30

It's not even in top 5 dude, i don't know what you are talking about

2014-11-28 00:40

sad for n0thing

MUUURICA FUCK YEAH!

2014-11-27 17:50

Congratz PENTA

cheatnatic are low !!! ban them ALL !!!

It's sad for C9 but people should stop repeating themselves with the "Fnatic is hacking". Fnatic was not hacking in this tournament. I know, Flusha probably hacked before but in this DH C9 only have themselves to blame.

These cheating accusations are all pathetic, leave it to Valve to analyze server logs etc, these second hand sources are not to be trusted. GOTV clips and gifs as proof is highly questionable, and may well be tampered with. And a few pro's backing "the proof" is also shit for proof(sour grapes).

theyre just hyped mad kids, they believe everything. i can make gtr videos much more convincing than flushas.

2014-11-27 18:13

No no, it's the pros analyzing other people's cheating with actual admitted cheaters that were never actually pros.

base on videos, not dlls files. hes innocent until proven guilty. god, this community.

2014-11-27 18:37

it's not this community, it's in the human nature to be incredibly fucking stupid; hence why in old age we used to choose the oldest and the wisest ones to be the leaders, so that stupid people have no say in anything that matters :)

2014-11-28 00:07

vac is failing heavily. those vids prove that he was cheating, most likely he's cheating on dh winter aswell. as discussed lots of times its still possible to cheat on dh. those guys paid 300$ a month to not get detected. do you really think they stopped when dh decided to look threw theire cfgs? :D @ oneiros: c'mon make some vids about gtr's crosshair behaving like flushas. im sure you won't find any. @ black thatch: do you even now what you're talking about? thats called dictatorship and history has showed us lots of times that dictatorships always end up in war/murder/death evolution of humankind brought us such nice thing called democracy so pls shut up with your 3world perspectives

2014-11-28 13:06

ya Jeza and we rlly happy about that ;P THANK U PENTA <3

Well i did. I expected them to get 2nd in group

2014-11-30 19:39

Does nobody else think that krystal shouldn't be allowed to play in majors? Not saying he cheats now, but he was banned from css for cheating in competitive matches. Now he's getting thousands of dollars playing csgo at a major. This isn't a public spinbotter, he was wallhacking his way to the top (and he admitted it).
