Daniel and James good one

2017-04-19 18:19

Why c9 cant take brax for fulltime roster? They anyway cant qulify for major

2017-04-19 18:28

Not sure if bait or not, but majors aren't the only place he is banned

2017-04-19 18:34

I think he is trying to say that c9 is so bad that they can't even qualify for majors so why not take swag? -l0ser

2017-04-19 19:47

Nice! Cool tournament! #RUNSKG

2017-04-19 18:44

somehow I see Godsent winning this event

2017-04-19 18:47

Looks like a pretty refreshing tournament :-) -l0ser

2017-04-19 19:45

gl brax

2017-04-19 19:56

Nice to see fiffy

2017-04-19 20:03

Even if I root for NV in this one, I feel SK or NiP got this.

2017-04-19 20:08

Consolidation final?

2017-04-19 21:51

Well Steel did said he isnt going to cs_summit, so?..

2017-04-19 21:59

Good luck BRAX! but not against my TEAM! We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

2017-04-19 22:55

Time to sk win or retire

2017-04-19 23:05

Not agree. If they win ppl will say "no vp astralis faze navi etc" and if they loose "disband etc". Actually envyus is a solid team and optic or c9 can do some real damage so its not that easy. Will be fun hopefully swag will show a good performance like he do online.

2017-04-20 01:45

Let's go Gambit.

2017-04-19 23:25

So hyped for the upper and lower bracket format, hope it works well

2017-04-20 00:03

can't wait to see swag to it to someone other than rankS players

2017-04-20 01:56

I'm actually very hyped for this event, kinda bad times for EU, but hopefully will manage to watch most of the matches! Judging by the dota summits so far, it will be like no CSGO event before :)
