Heroic send Virtus.pro packing

5-7-2017 12:57

Heroic have eliminated Virtus.pro at ESL One Cologne after beating the Poles 16-9 on Cobblestone.

Virtus.pro and HEROIC, both of whom lost their first two matches, squared off on Cobblestone with their tournament lives on the line. Virtus.pro started on the T-side and tried an A-site smoke execute in the pistol round which didn't work out as Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen got a quad kill to secure it for HEROIC (1-0).

HEROIC stopped Virtus.pro in the first weapon round to lead 4-0. Two rounds later, HEROIC won another weapon round and achieved this without losing any players. In the first six rounds, Virtus.pro players got nine kills in total.

Heroic ended VP's tournament

Although the Poles got an entry kill on Drop, Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen and niko stopped them in their tracks to extend their lead to 7-0. Virtus.pro got their first round after Paweł "⁠byali⁠" Bieliński's opening kill, trailing 8-1. HEROIC's response came two rounds later when Jakob "⁠JUGi⁠" Hansen got two opening kills with the AWP, making it 9-2. The Danish team led 13-2 at halftime.

Virtus.pro won the second half pistol round and the anti-ecos but HEROIC pierced into the A-site in the first weapon round to make it 14-5. The Danish team could have attained ten match rounds but they lost to a full eco from Virtus.pro (14-6). Virtus.pro then lost a full buy and went on to lose the map 16-9, getting eliminated from the tournament.

They werent rofl. Astralis was clear #1.

2017-07-05 18:56

even tho vp smoked astralis like 16-3 9-16 and 16-5 tho

2017-07-05 19:18

Looking possibly poorer than ever VP, not gonna be ready for the major

TAZ : we don't care about immortals hype, we are strongers and we gonna do the playoffs easy! That's he said kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

2017-07-05 13:02

He also said they can easily go out in groups too blind favela

2017-07-05 13:33

used to be a big VP supporter but I got the feeling that they take these tournaments for granted and they don't seem motivated as 2 years ago. Everyone can beat everyone these days and all that fresh blood want to prove themself. Go home and rethink!

feel like all they care about is the majors.

You can not say that about ESL One Cologne, especially when VP received gratitude letter from ESL before the event, maybe if it's a smaller tournament but ESL Cologne has been around for a while and kinda got its prestige. I hope they do well on the major but imo it will be a achievement for them even if they keep their legend status

2017-07-05 18:41

the problem is that the level expected from vp may be something that we won't get to see ever again. maybe it's time that we all accept their decline. somehow they always seem to do good at majors.

2017-07-05 20:31

Yeah, I think everything will be decided after the major moreover it will be on homesoil if that's any advantage at all. Like pasha said, they need miracle which will only appear if they got lucky on their road to 1/4 finals.

the home soil factor is basically absent for vp. last year they were eliminated on their own map against an already declining NiP in Katowice.

2017-07-06 12:50

Optic just did it, why not VP could do it at the major :P

2017-07-06 18:57

I'm hoping they stick around for a while longer cause they're the last string of hope for Polish CS.

2017-07-06 18:59

CYA VP

Expected af

why ? vp so noob

That was fast!

Vp ez

disband plz

wow

HA HA

Understandable, have a great day!

vp shit gj

expected :V

unexpected

That was more than expected, if vp go through the semis at major it will be unexpected

2017-07-05 13:08

What rhymes with VP? 0-3 and xD

vp 0-3 we have faith but lose for free

2017-07-05 13:34

also very true

2017-07-05 14:41

major in poland rip

Virtus.Premier In all seriousness, this is just sad, man. Seeing the Golden 5 reduced to the Golden 3 reduced to... well, going out in group stages. Let's hope they show us something at Katowice

2017-07-05 13:03

Krakow*

Everyone lose, everyone have their time. Virtus pro time is over, New teams gonna take their place (my english is rusty).

2017-07-05 14:05

0-3 in major too???

rip in pieces VP

RIP VP versus Vega at the major lol

rip

I don't believe that VP play that bad now I think it's more because of the Major which they want to win.

low quality bait?

2017-07-05 13:20

I have a joke : VP in major LUL

2017-07-05 12:59

MAJOR LEGENDS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, cya later nerds

getting destroyed from a player that was 14-39 this team is s ashame

Rip virtus.throw

tbh Pride>Kinguin>VP

Haters just wait until the Major starts, if they also fail there then you can laugh and hate but I think they'll surprise everyone in the Majors like "We didn't give a fuck about the tournaments before, all we wanted was the Majors"

won't happen, they are just bad they were bad in the last important events too, like IEM katowice and Clash for Cash (ez money) and WESG (also ez money) I'm pretty sure they will go out in groups at the major again

they got to semis at wesg then got to the finals of the major...

2017-07-05 19:38

WESG with only tier 2 teams, major was fluke

2017-07-06 16:37

so i assume vegas and any other event they do well in is a fluke? lmfao

2017-07-06 19:08

The level of delusion in this post

It's over 9000

2017-07-05 13:56

VP is saving strats for major xD

VP saving "B-RUSH ALL" for major!

2017-07-05 13:46

gj heroic

2017-07-05 13:00

Yikes.

And they are still getting invites...

washed up poorlacks go back to cleaning toilets xD

but how is this possible ? that is unreal. WTF???

- TaZ +BnTeT

:---------(

That was expected. Last 3 matches vs Herioc looks the same.

VP is Back

dont invite this shit team

Im sure vp do not give a fuck. Nip did nothing for years and still commercially successful

VP not even tier 2 team anymore, they are bad and they were bad the last two years, just some fluke events were they got really lucky, that is all

wtf are you delusional fanboy talking about luck. your team is the shittiest and luckiest team out of the scene. yes VP sucks horrible at the time but from Starladder season 1 2016 (when they won their first tournament vs Navi) till Dream Hack Lad Vegas 2017 they were dropping Semis, Finals and winning tournament. while your team didn't even make it out of the groups.

2 much salt 4 me

2017-07-05 13:21

Are you talking about SK?

SK and Astralis.

2017-07-05 13:24

You know ASTRALIS won Major, katowice, ECS, finale at Masters and eleague final right haha lol?

2017-07-05 13:39

lul what? they won the Major which was btw ELEAGUE Final lul. and IEM. but since then? VP has only 1 Tournament less than Astralis and has exact the same amout of second places ;-). And Astralis is full of young lucky and hungry players. tbh

2017-07-05 13:47

VP eliminated in last place, NiP 1 game away from playoffs wtf?

2017-07-05 15:27

RIP VP

cuz nip better

Disband after major

I didn't see any single strat on their T side. They were just rushing out 1 by 1 wtf

2017-07-05 13:04

VP are very inconsistent, but don't rule them out from the majors

Lack of happiness and maybe too much self-confidence destroyed their way to the finals

Thank god we don´t have to listen to the caveman Taz anymore... "Uh uh uh, we don´t care what the other teams do, we just smash them!!!!!"

2017-07-05 13:05

what a legend falls...

We almost won major, two weeks later we crushed major winner but lets change our best igl and never got out from groupstage again xDDDDDDD

typicial VP logic

who is calling now?? and who was at the major?

2017-07-05 19:40

Snax is calling since Starladder so thats the date when their slump began xD Neo was igl at EL major and ONLY when he was igling VP was winning or at least going deep in almost every event.

2017-07-05 20:23

Virtus.pr0-3

Eliminated Poland Virtus.pro first team , lol.. T1me to change my friends.

byali played bad and pasha's mag7 was so awful hahah rip my allin with 2.4 on vp :(

2017-07-05 13:29

pasha's mag7 was awful, because he ran to players not the other way

2017-07-05 13:48

everyone who say UNEXPECTED is blind fanboy or watch cs only on big events

Polandos are really fucked now only player they have is Innocent :DDD

you missed one ;)

2017-07-05 13:25

snax

2017-07-05 13:30

2017-07-05 18:26

VP won't make it do the Majors QF. They will lose vs Vega and that will tilt them badly. Then VP the three oldest player will retire and VP has to play the Minors lul.

2017-07-05 13:11

I guess VP needs their fand already in groupstages. I guess they feel the same vibe as their online games

2017-07-05 13:12

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

If Pasza still will be main awper on major and snax igl then vp has no chance

are you new? pasha and snax has been awping the whole year and pasha was doing good with it

2017-07-05 13:26

Yes, he was. Now he sucks with it.

2017-07-05 14:00

nah he had some good frags vs immortals and sk. you can't deny that. vs heroic he was quite weird some good frags but mostly awful

2017-07-05 14:04

Vp played way better when snax was awping more than pasza, thats for sure, even sadokist and henry said something like that. In my opinion pasza and awp are done since 2016, he should play as the rifler thats all.

2017-07-06 02:52

nah pasha with the awp has contributed really alot rounds imo. Pasha is a good rifler, snax is a good awper but snax's rifling is way better than pasha's and in terms of awping they are same. so it would be a waste to see snax awping more than pasha. either they are awping together as a ct or just pasha. vp played better when snax wasn't igling and to be honest snax has struggled alot since las vegas

2017-07-06 03:11

It just my opinion you dont have to agree with me. For me vp were top1-2 when neo was igl and snax was main awper. Have a good day, cya in krakow

2017-07-06 13:50

VP will come back right? RIGHT? :'(

2017-07-05 13:16

No hope

2017-07-05 14:09

disban those clowns time to retire

HEROIC REALLY UNDERPERFORMED TODAY

Ez pz Heroic won't be playing in Krakow, ez Major trophy for VP

2017-07-05 13:18

BROOO WTF vp is so shit

And this team was invited to the major as legends. Lol

Coz they are major legends, that's why but it will change after major

You don't get invited, you illiterate fag, you need to qualify. Triggered shit

2017-07-05 16:33

damn you really look triggered

2017-07-05 18:59

i get triggered by autistic comments. If people cant understand stuff,they need to get treatment,autism can be treated.

2017-07-06 23:16

What's going on? I loved seeing Virtus Plow

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

2017-07-05 13:27

Neo should be back to calling, Snax suxx just like seized.

2017-07-05 13:31

yeah why the fuck has he been the igl for 3 months. but i have the feeling that Snax doesn't call the strats

2017-07-05 13:40

Much needs to happen if VP wants even get through groups in Kracow

Lost all faith in VP. If they manage somehow to quaters in Krakow it will be huge win for them already. Watching them right now is just... sad experience.

VP won't make it do the Majors QF. They will lose vs Vega and that will tilt them badly. Then VP the three oldest player will retire and VP has to play the Minors lul. I guess VP needs their fans already in groupstages. I guess they feel the same vibe as their online games They have abused my/our trust badly. atleast they do look prepared for SK's Soccer Match that matters! no hopes for the Major.

2017-07-05 13:41

DISBAND

OMG VP WHY

2017-07-05 13:37

vp most lazy pro team, please don't invite them anymore

If they go out in the group stages at the major, they will never qualify for a major again. I hope it happens, can't stand Taz.

2017-07-05 13:43

expected lul

Sad :(

twitter.com/Immortals/status/88221730279..

wtf that's so retarded... ofc they don't give a flying fuck about immortals' hype, VP is in a major crisis and that's probably what is on his mind...... Ofc they know their power, they've been pro's for ages.. But as he follows it up with "We know we can also go out in Group 0-3" :)))) But tbh it's expected from retarded BR's to get instantly triggered cuz they only speakeh da engrish

2017-07-05 14:16

SO SAD gz Heroic

2017-07-05 13:53

saving strats for major KappaXD

2017-07-05 14:11

for the ESEA Premier

kinda sad tournaments are always more fun when vp show up

Not the first time I've seen this headline

2017-07-05 14:23

Sad to see VP with a 0-3 tournament. But damn nice with a victory for Heroic :D

2017-07-05 14:25

You fukin retards :D wait for the Major every T1 team is throwing check the first 4 teams now: 1.NiP 2. OpTic 3. Liquid 4. mousesports All the teams who have qualified to Major, maybe except mousesports, are preparing for the Major. Krakow might be VP's last major or at least in the current line up. Stay calm and bet against VP (until major) I've got so far hundreds of $ EZ money my friends.

2017-07-05 14:38

Hahahahaha virtus Premier

2017-07-05 14:44

Either they are saving strats for premier or they are dead I hope its the former
