This would be a great tournament if we took out Hellraisers and Fnatic and replaced them with Liquid and C9. That way we could see how the best NA has to offer stacks up against the best teams in the world.

calling them shitquid but they actually beat fnatic at esl ny 2 times

Both on d2 which is their best map if not their only map. Fnatic made a huge mistake by playing them on it a second time. That doesn't mean that shitquid are a better team.

Good point, I wouldn't want to see liquid instead of fnatic either

2016-10-15 13:00

lawl D2 is one their average maps, their best map is Cobble and they are much better on Mirage and Train as well, maybe you should try to actually learn about a team before you shit talk them.

A) if cobble is their best map then they really are trash. B) cobble hasn't been their best map since p1mple left.

2016-10-14 20:01

yeh,they can probably move to top 3 if sk performs like shit and fnatic wins both epicenter and esl pro league

2016-10-14 20:03

yea surely fnatic gonna win EPL xD

2016-10-14 20:39

mind of explaning difference btw epl and epicenter in fnatic's chance to win?

2 replies

not much difference, they ain't gonna win either of them.. btw, btw means by the way, not between

2016-10-14 20:41

You see,there're only two questions regrading fnatic's winning or losing,can wenton turn from bot to normal player?and can fnatic play the match without being tilted af.

2016-10-14 20:42

Mabye not fnatic but I agree Sk no chance ma frend

2016-10-15 10:40

Cool First game : Virtus.pro vs. SK rip VP slow starters.

2016-10-14 20:02

2:0 for VP

2016-10-14 20:06

aren't SK slow starters as well?

2016-10-14 20:07

no idea :P

Yeah they are! SK usually play really bad on 1st matches.

2016-10-15 00:02

Ye, Plow needs time to be unstoppable. Hardest team to start against.

2016-10-14 20:21

lkl,

nice, cant wait for it

VP vs SK first game, whoah.

2016-10-15 05:03

LAN Bo2s zzzz

2016-10-14 20:09

YES! The structure is pretty much perfect! You play 6 maps in group stage, and then a BO3 decider, unlike a GSL format which, in CS:GO, usually takes 2 maps and a BO3. Good on EPICENTER!

2016-10-14 20:17

Ez fnatic

Why why WHY HELLRAISERS

2016-10-14 20:18

best format in the history of this game.

2016-10-14 20:22

It is indeed the best but it isn't perfect. They should play deciders on Friday, semis on Saturday and grand final on Sunday.

2016-10-14 20:51

ez for G2

bo2 ??????

2016-10-14 21:14

fnatic vs SK rematch at last. Too much have changed since then though, so it doesn't even matter anymore lol

2016-10-14 21:21

6 out of 8 top teams in the world. This is THE TOURNAMENT.

2016-10-14 21:26

When HellRaisers and fnatic are the two worst teams at an event you know it will be good.

2016-10-14 23:41

VP-Dignitas and Fnatic letss goo (Ofc VP comes first VP love VP life)

2016-10-14 21:57

2016-10-15 00:06

ez for vp cuz they will have big gaps between games and not half an hour between overtime-ridden bo3's. though it could happen if they are in semifinal 2, then they are dead
