Cloud9 to Pro League final over CLG

4-7-2015 17:48

Cloud9 will contest the ESL ESEA Pro League title after easing past CLG 2-0 (16-5 on de_cache and 16-8 on de_dust2).

The opening semi-final of the ESL ESEA Pro League offline finals brought two North American rivals together, with most stats pointing towards a clear victory for Cloud9.

The opening map of this best-of-three series was de_cache, which has been one of Cloud9's strongest maps throughout this tournament. It was thus without too much surprise that C9 took the reins of the match and stormed to a 5-0 lead.

CLG then responded by taking their first round of the game, but their inability to build on that win left their economy in shambles. Later on, Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta's men would finally be able to string two rounds together, but Cloud9 never took their foot off the pedal as they closed the half up 11-4.

A pistol ace by Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik in the second half provided CLG with a glimmer of hope, but their dreams were crushed in the following round as Cloud9 regained control of the match and only let go when they had 16 rounds on the board.

Cloud9 move on to the grand final

de_dust2, CLG's map choice, then followed, and once again it was Cloud9 who came out the brighter by winning the first eight rounds of the game in convincing fashion. CLG them picked themselves up and won six rounds of their own before C9 claimed the final round to make it 9-6 in their favor.

CLG found some breathing room in the second half as they both won the pistol round and the anti-eco that followed. But a mid-B split in the third round left them frustrated and saw Cloud9 regain control of proceedings before eventually running out 16-8 winners.

then you have no fucking clue lol maybe not in 2 month but in 4-5 month for sure and the 60k get split up onto 5

2015-07-04 18:07

dude every fuckin time he streams at the early morning CET he gets up to 10k viewers. if he streams around noon, he gets 15-20k. he gets an insane amount of donations as well as subscribers. believe it, he makes 60k$ eeeeeeeezly in 2 months. eeeeeeezly. remember the podcast with jordan? he said cunttyplaysgames, who regularly gets 2-4k viewers makes at least 15-20k $$$ a month.

cunttyplaysgames is girl and all horny boys gives him money so they can keep watching her, but shroud is UGLY nerd so he don't get even close as much money :)

2015-07-04 18:40

check kittys top doneys and check shrouds. srsly, ive been watching a lot of ARK last month, guy with up to 20k viewers too, barely gets any doneys and subs. but shroud has a fanbase that always watches him, even more so when hes playing cs. he gets doneys and subs so often that he barely has time to play.

2015-07-04 18:42

But summ1t DOE summ1t? is that you summ1t?

2015-07-04 19:50

haha, i wish. dudes living the dream. hot wyfe, tons of income and all he has to do really is play computer games with very mediocre skill.

2015-07-04 19:57

The man probably makes over $250,000 a year easily with streaming. Do you have any idea how high those small donations he gets constantly while streaming will add up? Add onto that the steady income he will get from having I'd estimate 2-4k subs (prob higher). This isn't even factoring in his salary or any other monetary income he receives (tournaments etc). Wouldn't be shocked myself if he netted near half a million in a year to be quite honest.

its funny when fanboys made "facts" from hat :) shroud himself said that he makes normally 1-2K per month from streaming +CSGO salaries are really bad, Cloud9 success have been really bad = POOR INCOME ^_¨

2015-07-04 18:41

You must be trolling. 1-2k a month. If you actually believe that's what he makes from streaming I have bad news for any offspring you may produce.

2015-07-04 18:46

i watch calebhart sometimes and the donations that guy gets for playing megaman x1-3 are just fuckin retarded. dude clears like 2g's a night

2015-07-04 19:09

He makes 2.50$ a month per sub. He has about 2500 subs. You do the math. That's not even including sponsors, ads he runs, his constant flow of donations, csgo salary, tournament money, etc etc. if you actually believe he only makes 1-2k a month you are retarded.

2015-07-04 19:12

He probably actually makes more per sub. Once you get over a certain amount, you get a larger % than 50% as far as I'm aware. Usually 70%, upwards in some cases.

2015-07-04 18:21

Ya probably right about the eu lan.

2015-07-04 18:23

9 replies

But this isn't a major, idiot.

nice bait

he is right

2015-07-04 17:57

major = 16 Teams this lan = 8 Teams The only thing they have in common is Bo1 Groupstage and the prize pool.

Nice made up definition

Oh and I forgot to add that a major is also valve sponsored, including stickers which only make it a major . =D

Stickers make something a major lmao dumbest shit I ever heard

2015-07-04 18:09

+1 stickers bestest

2015-07-04 18:31

prize pool = majors => also a major nice logic, stupid fuckboy.

Perfect for the 4th, AaaamerricaaaAAAaaaaa

If really, that was predictable. :/

Play today ffs

so ez

2015-07-04 17:53

gg boys

cloud vs fnatic, for sure

lol, easiest tournament ever for fnatic lmao

2015-07-04 17:55

60k not bad

legend n0thing

na>na no doubt

Keyd deserved the semifinal with C9 in place CLG, the game would be much more interesting

2015-07-04 18:01

They lost, so they didn't deserve shit

2015-07-04 18:02

i know but this is BO1 things

Isn't an excuse at all.

2015-07-04 18:08

It is my friend

2015-07-04 19:06

which was the reason KeyD got through...

2015-07-05 04:38

2015-07-04 17:59

Welcome back, NA.

The titties made the difference.

I don't know what it is. But ESEA lans are always good for NA teams, back than people said "try that on European soil". Well we have a NA team in the finals on European soil !!! Really impressed by c9`s performance so far. If they study fnatic/VP just as hard as they did envyus. They are probably able to take at least a map or two of either team.

they can study these 2 teams as much as they want they wont get anything useful since they both have an unpredictable style but who knows 1 map is possible

2015-07-04 18:05

C9 too ez :) The are playing awesome lately !

2015-07-04 18:12

Way to much hype around this tournament, boring semi finals and its going to be a boring final also. CLG goes straight to Semi because they won 2 matches? TSM out because of random bo1's, and no Na'vi or NiP? Give NA 2 slots and EU 6 slots because Keyd and C9 are obv the only team who can challenge any EU teams..

2015-07-04 18:19

And you're abviously an idiot...

2015-07-04 22:02

Shows that you suck, when Seangares outscores two of your "heavy" hitters. god I can`t stand clg

Congrats to them for making it to the finals. Now win big boys and show the might of the NA scene.

2015-07-04 18:29

2015-07-04 18:33

"16-5 on de_cache" Makes keyD loss even worse >_< Why would they pick cache?!

2015-07-04 19:30

If Vp wins against fnatic. Then c9 actually have a chance to win this event .

2015-07-04 20:02

"major" literally just means a big tournament.. this has a bigger prize pool than the valve sponsored tournaments.. either way its still nice cash.

2015-07-04 20:03

for cash and organizations recognition every team wanted to be there but only 4 best of EU and NA qualified. Stickers and box drops in streams isn't what the game is all about

2015-07-05 14:57

gonna be ez 3-0 in final for fnatic/vp

2015-07-04 20:18

3-1 for vp

2015-07-04 20:24

Hope there will be videos from day 2? with interviews!? tnx

2015-07-04 20:23

Lol NA in a final yaay

2015-07-04 20:32

NA in its first international final except ESEA lans at a major tournament! maybe the MOST major and competitive tournament. Congratulations. f*ck the h8rs
