Can it is not GSL Edit:sry brah, didn't understand what u we're talking about, rigged qualXD

2017-06-23 17:34

Since the eu minor is more important and big won it they took what would of been envys spot as a top seed if they had 3 g2 players

2017-06-23 17:36

Same with HR and Vega, both teams are from CIS, I know the HR qualified from major, but still

obviously its not when last major they qualified from the EU minor. weird a cis team would go through the eu minor.. hmm lol

2017-06-24 20:40

1 reply

Are u mad? Everyone knows that it is EU team, but we consider it as CIS team as it is CIS org and the players were from CIS through the years

2017-06-24 21:50

c9 took 2nd seed of NA meanwhile BIG took 3rd seed of EU them winning means nothing tbh.

2017-06-23 19:27

This is cuz BIG basically got ENVYs original spot as one of the 8 invited teams for this qualifier by winning EU minor so they were in draw in same side as teams that played in last major. Envy had to forfeit this spot due not having 3 players who played in same team last major (also reason why eu got 3 spots to major qual from their minor as envy extra spot was up for grabs.)

2017-06-23 17:39

Liquid always lucky even tho they are bad af

6 replies

Always Lucky ? Lol ok.

I know right, because luck gets a team to finals of a major.

Luck gave Elige the title of best player in NA aswell lol

2017-06-23 17:41

tbh s1mple was the only reason they came in the final

2017-06-23 18:43

The Key word is TEAM. One player doesn't get a team to the final of a major. Look at the old mous, they had Niko, arguably the best player in the world. Where they in the finals. NO. People need to realize it was a combined effort from Peace, S1mple, Elige, Nitro, JDM and Hiko. Not only Simple.

2017-06-23 19:03

He carried FaZe tho Without Nitro for example you could still get the finals but not without s1mple

G2 vs TIER 4 teams LUL

Lol ofc G2 vs IMMT Nice seeding fuckers

13 replies

The seedings are fair. Already qualified for the major qualifier vs one of the team coming from the Minor. Réfléchis un peu

12 replies

Top2 teams facing eachother first round Great

Well, this has nothing to do with the seedings. And btw, Mouz >>> Immortals

7 replies

Mouz >> Immortals? Are u kidding me right? You watch last DH?

Mouz are a better LAN team overall and they are better at dealing w/ high pressure situations

2017-06-23 17:43

You watch past major qualifiers? Immortals suck when playing in those qualifier

2017-06-23 18:21

It's almost like its a different roster and time has elapsed enabling them to iron out some problems

2017-06-26 12:10

Not really, they only changed one player since the last major qualifier and it's been the same core for some years now

2017-06-26 13:02

They change the IGL too, they are playin' really good w/ 2 awpers

2017-06-26 16:29

Same for Na'Vi and Na'Vi aren't even the same team anymore lol

2017-06-26 23:15

Immortals are there because they did not win the minor

2017-06-23 17:44

The seeding aren't fair at all

2017-06-23 18:24

Tell me what would be a fair seeding then.

F3-RNG LUL pls..

g2 immortals mouz optic liquid c9 hellraisers renegades

Wednesday, June 29th ok

IMT so unlucky lol

IMT are usually super lucky in Swiss systems like playing two Chinese teams at Katowice.

2017-06-26 11:50

G2 playing early game = ez win for Immortals

EZ FOR BIG; RIP C9

My predictions for the 1st day: G2 vs Immortals ---> Immortals Win OpTic vs PENTA ---> Penta Win Liquid vs TyLoo ---> Liquid Win GODSENT vs Dignitas ---> Dignitas Win mousesports vs Tengri ---> mousesports Win HellRaisers vs Vega Squadron ---> HellRaisers Win FlipSid3 vs Renegades ---> FlipSid3 Win BIG vs Cloud9 ---> BIG Win This is my opinion :) Do you guys agree ?

G2 have to qualify 3-0. No way they lose against even one of these teams.

bad luck IMT, but let's go

Nice matchups LOL

C9 to be faking outplayed.

let's go!!

2017-06-23 18:00

immortals bad luck

2017-06-23 17:45

Climbing towards the top 10, let's go Dignitas! #portugal #norway

2017-06-23 17:52

G2 > Immortals OpTic < PENTA Liquid > TyLoo GODSENT < dignitas mousesports > Tengri HellRaisers > Vega Squadron FlipSid3 > Renegades BIG > Cloud9 RIP NA CS

2017-06-23 17:49

agree with almost all Renegades > F3,i feel this is over for f3 already Immortals > G2,G2 gonna qualify 3-2/3-0 and imm 3-0

2017-06-23 20:25

50 50 game Big vs Clo0ud 9 in my opinion

2017-06-23 17:51

Immortals is a good team.

2017-06-23 17:57

great matches, only mouz get a free win.

2017-06-23 17:58

its also very great for mouz, because they aren't a team that would start off really huge, but will close it out in style, for example i think the match vs. tengri will actually be close but then they'll play well against the other teams.

2017-06-23 19:58

BnTeT in the international scene, now this will be fun to watch.

2017-06-23 17:59

ez for Tengri and Vega

2017-06-23 20:06

G2 can't catch a break, in every group of death, get the hardest teams in the major qualifiers.

2017-06-23 20:07

Doesn't really matter in Swiss format though because if you lose first round it's very likely you will face a weaker team than before.

Again, best of fucking ones to decide who gets to attend the most prestigious event in CSGO.

2017-06-23 20:09

I really hope that the qualifying teams are - Cloud9 - G2 - HellRaisers - Immortals - Liquid - Mousesports - OpTic - TyLoo

2017-06-23 20:21

Traitor what is with sunNy and zehn?

2017-06-25 13:16

Sorry, I don't think Penta can make it. D:
