FlipSid3 secure last Major spot over Liquid

2-7-2017 22:59

FlipSid3 have booked the last spot at the PGL Major Krakow after defeating Liquid 25-23 on Mirage.

Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy's men started out the match with the right foot as they picked up an early 4-0 lead as Terrorists. Despite facing off against pistols, FlipSid3 could not stop Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken from finding four kills, helping his team assure their first round of the game.

It was from that moment onward that the North Americans began overcoming their initial difficulties and eventually reached an 8-5 lead. However, FlipSid3's men still managed to reduce the gap to 7-8.

FlipSid3 are ready to play yet another Major

In the second half, it were once again the CIS men who won the pistol round, setting FlipSid3 to grab the lead for the second time. As Liquid could not pick up neither of the following gun rounds, Yegor "⁠markeloff⁠" Markelov and co. got off to a comfortable 13-8 lead.

Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz's team then managed to break their adversaries' seven-round streak and kept winning well-fought rounds to reach a 14-14 stalemate. Nevertheless, both teams traded rounds to take the game to overtime.

When it came to extra-time, Liquid got the first lead before switching sides. However, the match ended up being a triple-overtime and saw FlipSid3 prevail as they closed it out, 25-23, with Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov boasting 48 kills to secure the last available spot at the Major in Krakow.

Cloud 9 is tier 2 team and never will be tier 1 with this lineup

That is fair but if they dropped shroud and got someone with serious skill they could crack tier 1 occasionally.

Shroud is the problem. They have to release him as fast as posible. Hes like the most inconsistent player ever.

since stan joined the tl, they actually go far in tournaments again, this one was just unlucky and bo1 games are stupid anyways. also optic is dead since stan left the team lol

2017-07-02 23:15

stop saying bo1 is stupid, liquid just doesnt qualify for major LUL

2017-07-03 02:52

If you can't win bo1's to qualify you don't deserve to play bo3's

2017-07-02 23:18

Same could be said about liquid though. I didnt have time to watch this match but judging by how liquid has been performing in this qualifier it wouldnt have looked good for them at the major either

2017-07-02 23:30

Lets fking goooooooo marki on another major

HAHAHAHAHh CIS DOESNT DESERVE A MINOR HAHAHhhaahahHAH THORIN

Well maybe if you watched his last video about it you'd know that he didn't want to get rid of it. Plus he talked about how F3 didn't come from CIS qualifier this year. Next time please watch the video thanks

2017-07-03 01:07

There are 4 teams from CIS in this major lmao

2017-07-03 01:42

Well done to FlipSid3, they played really well and deserved to win. electroNic was incredible. Glad to see the 1.6 legend markeloff in the major!

2017-07-03 21:26

nitr0 deserves props after starting out super slow, like 7-14 at one point. electronic on the otherhand, lets hope this kid is getting paid. Somebody get this man a patreon, he needs an infinite supply of American cigarettes.

He should transfer to a team that plays more than just majors lul

2017-07-03 07:28

greatest match i ever seen. second one is F3 - Mouz cobblestone at MLG

2017-07-03 00:29

Barely a surprise since F3 always looks like shit but miraculously qualify for every Major.

2017-07-03 00:35

No more majors for liquid without s1mple, they should be happy that he gave them free qualification in the previous major. You think elige will take them to the major? xDDDd

2017-07-03 02:46

nt Thorin this ginger pale virgin hopefully doesn't return for the main event but with comments like that he should not be at tier 1 tournaments.

2017-07-03 03:44

What a match to end the qualifier!

2017-07-03 04:09

People like Thorin are delusional, these yank teams have a good run for few months and thats it, they're not top tier......just typical american scrubs who prob think they're 10x better than they are like for example that fat fuck Hiko has the nerve to talk shit to people when he's fat as fuck and ppl will bang his mom and sister in front of him bcs he cant do anything about it by the time they finish he will have just left his chair.
