Cloud9 win Subaru Invitational

15-5-2017 10:59

The Subaru NA CS:GO $20,000 Invitational has come to and, with Cloud9 taking the title and the majority of the prize pool by beating SK in the grand final 2-0 (16-12 Cobblestone, 16-14 Train).

The North American online invitational cup, hosted by CEVO and sponsored by Subaru, took place this weekend. Eight teams from the region competed in a single-elimination BO3 bracket, with some interesting matchups happening right from the start.

CLG and OpTic met in the quarter-finals and it was the former team to take the 2-0 victory thanks to a +26 performance by Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland. We saw the same scoreline in another match that was tight on paper, Liquid - Immortals, with the Brazilian side winning 2-0 despite having to field their coach Rafael "⁠zakk⁠" Fernandes instead of Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau, who is rumored to be leaving the team.

SK and Cloud9 moved past their favorable first round draws comfortably and then took down Immortals and CLG in the semi-finals, respectively.

In the grand final, Cloud9 upset SK on their map pick, Cobblestone, thanks to a strong Terrorist side and 1.59 rated performance from Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert. Going into Train with a 1-0 lead, Cloud9 got a decent, seven-round Terrorist half and moved on to the CT side where they closed out the match with a 16-14 scoreline.

you could argue that when n0thing plays well it drives the entire team, they've never won an event without him going off at least a few times people say they should cut him but I think he's the one that puts them over the top when hes on form

2017-05-15 16:19

yeah but he goes off once every 3-4 months, not reliable. But NA cs today is not about winning, it is about views for their sponsors so it doesn't matter

Well, SK will probably keep losing against the likes of C9, Renegades, NRG, CLG and so on in all these unimportant matches. At t1 tournaments, they'll suddenly be gods again and just start steamrolling everyone as if they were bots.
