Cloud9 win RGN Pro over Renegades

19-11-2015 14:25

Cloud9 won the RGN Pro Series Championship after seeing off Renegades 16-12 on de_cache.

The RGN Pro Series Championship saw a seventeen-hour-long playoff day take place as eight teams fought through a double elimination, best-of-three bracket.

With a one-map advantage in their favor due to coming from the Upper Bracket, Cloud9 came out really well and won the pistol round and the following two anti-ecos to start off the game with a strong 3-0 lead. Renegades then bought up and finally managed to win a round, but Cloud9 responded immediately after, leaving the Australians' economy in shambles.

Renegades took some time to build up their bank, with the scoreline blooming to a 6-1 disadvantage. But the Australian team looked very solid during the later stages of the half, bringing the deficit down to just three rounds when the break came.

Cloud9 win second domestic event in a row

An A fake by Renegades in the pistol round failed to produce any results as the former Vox Eminor side found themselves in a 3-vs-5 situation early on and were unable to turn things around.

Cloud9 added the following four rounds to their tally, which propelled them into a commanding 14-6 lead. Renegades then picked themselves up and won six of the following seven rounds to put some pressure on Cloud9, who kept their composure and closed out the game when many believed that it would go to overtime.

I agree and it all worked out. LG is the 4th or 5th best NA team and they placed 4th. Why is everyone mad that they performed as expected. It's not like they can actually win a BO3 for fucks sake come on

I'm a C9 fanboy now LG: bunch of overhyped players, can't close out games Liquid: - Hiko: gold digger, wouldn't not trust him. also is known for being egocentric (used to bully swag back in coL and refuses to go first when playing as T just to get better stats, love to bait his teammates). DO NOT BE FOOLED WITH HIS PERSONALITY ON STREAM. - nitr0: cocky. worst human being I've ever seen and he deserves everything bad that ever comes to him - adren: good guy but with a weak mind, too easy to be persuaded by his friends. Lack of personality. - elige: has a big mouth online.. .also he is skinny, shy af, if someone shouts at him he will probably cry on the stage - fugly: seems like a good guy overall

Hiko: burger eater

2015-11-19 23:01

You judge people based on how they make you feel, what people who dislike them have said (without any proof) and their appearance, not because of who they actually are. You sit behind your computer screen thousand of miles away and apply characteristics to people you really don't know at all. Don't do that, because it actually makes YOU seem insecure and cocky

2015-11-19 16:12

the examples you just gave are again opinions of other people. LOL so yeah i still think that, if you can't prove you know them personally, you SHOULDN'T talk shit, even doe everyone does.

2015-11-19 18:53

you sound like a girl judging all the boys you like in school. who fucking cares what kind of person they are, you should care what kind of player they are

2015-11-19 20:18

- Hiko: gold digger, wouldn't not trust him. also is known for being egocentric (used to bully swag back in coL and refuses to go first when playing as T just to get better stats, love to bait his teammates). DO NOT BE FOOLED WITH HIS PERSONALITY ON STREAM. even on his stream he comes across as an egotistical jerk, though. look at how he treats his "friends", how condescending he is to randoms in pugs, how he constantly talks down to people and thinks he's god's gift to CS, etc.

2015-11-19 16:17

It's a competitive game where the objective is to win, if you think everyone in cs is toxic you are most likely a bad player. Hiko is expecting the randoms to play as good as him or close to him because thats what hes used to but it does not happen which is frustrating to him. The same thing goes for the second sentence just vice versa.

2015-11-19 21:41

exactly. i kind of remember the first time i watched hiko streaming he and another friend of him talked shit to a teammate for almost the entire game.

2015-11-19 23:05

ty for spewing baseless garbage about people you know nothing about. unless you know someone dont judging their personality is just toxic.

2015-11-19 18:08

wow, you are uneducated.

2015-11-19 18:55

+1 !

2015-11-19 23:22

Myself and other people have already said LG are BO1 upset kings....did they even win a single BO3? maybe vs a slumping tier 2 team at best. They beat GA and Enemy....that's it. And nitr0 isn't cocky.....he's probably the most chill person on Liquid.

2015-11-19 19:03

huck fiko, other guys on team liquid is pretty good

2015-11-19 21:57

"I'm a C9 fanboy now" hahaha

2015-11-19 22:01

What has nitr0 ever done lmao Even when freak and liquid had business, he excluded fugly and nitr0 because the team told them that only hiko, adren and elige were talking shit. Can't tell if you're baiting or actually retarded. You are Brazilian after all :/

tbh i wouldn't. i hate liquid simply because they are a bunch of arses. only 2 people i like on liquid are adren and nitr0, but hiko? holy fuck kids a salty PoS

LG lost 0-2 to Renegades. What Liquid did was shitty, but it didn't knock LG out of the tournament.

2015-11-19 12:46

6 hours on a BO3, stress matters.

2015-11-19 13:31

as did every team that made it that far, not just yours.

2015-11-19 13:33

no, all got a lot of rest, only lg and liquid played that much.

2015-11-19 13:37

and renegades

2015-11-19 13:47

i.gyazo.com/1e53d711a85b0be57743a1412f35.. all the matches played back to back today. renegades played 5, LG played 3. There is no excuse you can possibly come up with other than you got outplayed by RNG

lg tired

2015-11-19 14:23

Champions don't come up with excuses when they lose.

2015-11-19 20:21

They didnt do any, just saying that good mental state is the most important part of winning a match. Renegades got lucky af. If the LG/Liquid match had less problems, RNG would have no chance in the finals. It would easily be c9/lg, c9/tl, or even c9/ga if LG won liquid (inb4 "but ga got kicked out by lg", but the problem with a lg and ga match is that they know each other tactics pretty much perfectly. The match is basically decided on aim. if lg won tl, they would have a chance of showing their real game)

2015-11-20 21:40

We were at the venue 2hrs before lg and played before them.

2015-11-20 00:39

but you spent much less time playing, right? :D

2015-11-20 21:42

how much?

Yes, losing 0-2 to Renegades is a sure sign that they should've won the tournament. They also lost 0-2 to C9 a few days ago They also can't fucking win a BO3 for the life of them.

2015-11-19 12:51

that brazil flag is just priceless here lol

2015-11-19 12:58

Nah because RNG>LG? And Au>Br

2015-11-19 12:43

2 north american championships in one row, no San Jose nothing good

2015-11-19 13:57

wp rng @ rgn

Renegades did better than expected, good for them. CSGL was the biggest dissapointment. How it happened that from team that could compete with dignitas, mouz, f3 and other teams of that tier they just became shit and they're not even top2 in Poland.

Looord happened. He is not a good leader, not a good fragger. He offers nothing to CSGL despite his experience - they are terrible tactically and when they could win by pure fire power they are dragged by looord's missed shots.

I agree, he should stay in coach role even if he's not the best tactical mind. I feel like the team is playing 4v5 and all players underperforming probably due to his bad in game leading.

2015-11-19 13:10

srry, not csgl fault, GA is playing their best. They are just on fire

2015-11-19 13:38

SHITTIEST LAN EVER

2015-11-19 12:44

izi money for c9

If RGN Pro Series LAN decides to pick up another lan next year, you'll see a bunch of nonamers/tier3/4 teams. Pretty sure noone who competes at the top level of NA today or EU for that matter will attend such a bad Lan, having teams play 6 bo3 matches or whatever the last day in order to hit the finals. I would consider this lan even a bigger failure then the paradise one. I qoute "The loser of our game against Luminosity will have to play 6 best of 3 matches today to win the event. Lol." -Hiko

Proud of the performance of the renegades :) tbh i had thought they would have been on bottom lol

2 tier3 tournaments won in 1 week. is clown9 going to be a tier2 team soon? inb4 7-8 in san jose

2015-11-19 12:47

OH YEAH BABY!

swag won a tournament lol

c9 have won two majors in a row within a week, they are atleast top 1 in the world Kappa

My thoughts exactly. Those nasal nerd casters were the worst.

everyone is surprised c9 won. I guess this is the biggest upset of the year.

BO1 final nice RGN

2015-11-19 13:03

NA in it's finest. I have no idea why c9 should have a 1-0 adv. on a bo3.. if it was a bo5 fine, but a bo3 they should only have gotten a draft adv.

2015-11-19 13:04

+1 I don't mind map advantages but it must be on BO5 not BO3.

2015-11-19 13:08

in a normal tournament the advantage is having veto first... but only in muerica.. lets give them 1 map advantage in BO3 final next year... 2 map advantage in BO3 final do it murica!

Brazilians shouldn't be allowed on this site.

2015-11-19 14:12

but, but...... but they have showers! somewhere in brazilia atleast :D

2015-11-19 14:28

There's one shower in all of Brazil... and it has never been used.

why I should be jealous? you guys are thinking that Luminosity is actually a good team and they could compete with the best, yet still ending up behind Liquid (LOL) and renegades. you dont know how to play football, and you surely dont know how to play CS.

2015-11-19 13:25

6 replies

and you guys sure know how to play football and CS by the amount of good teams and good results you guys have. Anyway, why so much hatterino on brazil? your gf cheated you with a brazilian?

2015-11-19 15:06

the difference is that I know and accept the facts unlike you ;) me no haterino any one, unless stating the obvious is hating. and no, there's no brazilians here, so it would be pretty impossible hopefully

2015-11-19 15:17

BO1 upset kings, keep clinging to that until the end of time.

2015-11-19 19:12

Luminosity for sure is a very good team, one of the best in the world. It's a fact. If we gonna start to use this kind of judgment - say that one team is better than other because just one match - we gonna have this kind of "discussion" after every champ. This is not corret. Its all about moment. Look at Games Academy, they almost won a bo3 against C9 and they're not even in top20 on this website ranking (I agree with HLTV.org rank btw). LG won against C9 on Cluj Napoca and went to the quarter finals with an excelent performance against Na'Vi (16:14, 16:13 I think). So how could we just say that Luminosity is not a good team? Anyway, C9 top1 in America for me. LG maybe need some 'big little' changes from now. Games Academy showed their power! We have 2 strong teams in Brazil...hope to see those guys in our country playing with a mibr tag :D Congratz to C9! (sorry for the brainstormmmmzzzzzz).

2015-11-19 23:02

there's a difference in being a good team or being a tier2 team. I mean 3DMAX was a good team but they never achieved anything. same thing with Luminosity. couple BO3 upsets means nothing, and Luminosity just cant compete with european teams in BO3. its a fact. anyway I think its pointless to try and argue with a Brazilian about Brazilian CS team, since you guys have always thought that brazilians are actually good in CS (well, mibr was good in 1.6 with cogu but thats about it). U dont have any strong team in brazil.

2015-11-20 11:34

wut... dont we have any strong team? its just bullshit. Ignore Luminosity as a good team is just bullshit, just trollshit basically...unless you dont consider a top10 team as a strong team. but ok, agree to disagree.

2015-11-20 20:01

LG played during 12 hours in a row

2015-11-19 14:17

so what? thats not an excuse, the truth is that LG sucks on international level (and, clearly american level, too) and you just have to accept that. you bra7-1lians are like portuguese people who thinks that fox is actually a good player.

Nah, LG just sucks. They're good at BO1 upsets and that's it.

2015-11-19 14:32

Amazing to see swag, hope he does get unbanned.

2015-11-19 22:59

rgn is a relatively small league. I'm glad to see them A) hosting a lan and B) having a prizepool above 10k last couple years they had online only tournaments with bad payouts, so it's only getting better. NA has some serious issues, leagues like this starting up and growing are what will help flesh out the scene here as the younger generation moves back to competitive PC gaming. what NA needs is teenagers falling in love with CS.
