The $200,000 competition will run from June 13-17 at the Mineirinho Arena, in Belo Horizonte, where eight teams will duke it out in what will be the tenth event counting towards the Intel Grand Slam.

i dont mind tbh and if you ask me yes they are better than SK currently

2018-06-12 01:02

12 replies

How can the NTC be better than the SK currently being that the NTC does not even face SK level teams? If the NTC play regularly and win some level 1 teams, it may be considered better than SK, until that happens, no!

2018-06-12 05:09

11 replies

Because as a team SK doesnt show any outstanding strats or tactics, just basic cs, and I believe NTC is capable of that too, but their aim is way better, but we will see

Fnx / Felps inconsistent Bit / Chelo not that good Kng - the only solid player How are they better than SK

2018-06-12 11:48

7 replies

are u kidding right? first of all: Chelo it's a monster, kng it's a good awper, fnx dedicated can be the best player in the world, felps motivated (in sk he's always with a zombie/dead face) but he can be a mini fer or better, and they have bit a awesome IGL, and a normal player (can do basic stuffs in high level)

2018-06-12 12:19

>Chelo it's a monster >Kng its a GOOD awper ^Omegalul Fnx / Felps - as i said inconsistent. " IF they are dedicated / motivated" Still one big IF , which is a problem

2018-06-12 12:27

Nothing that impressive in online games against tier3-4. I want to see him being monster and prove himself against SK/Faze/Astralis players.

2018-06-12 16:29

theres various highlights vs SK and tier1 NA teams lol

2018-06-12 17:07

I would just say that chelo is a good player, yes! At least better than bit he is. If we compare player to player to me it would look like this: Fallen> kng coldzera> fnx fer> felps boltz> bit stewie = chelo (I can not see much difference between the two, especially if we take into account that the chelo has great potential and has not shown much yet)

2018-06-12 16:41

Might has great potential ,but he has to prove it. Until then , there's no reason to overhype him as the guy above did #236.

2018-06-12 19:39

So, we'll see how long they will take to adapt as a team to the world's top teams. Until that happens, I dare not say they are better than SK!

Caue Moura? Fucking LUL, worst choice for broadcast host ever. He doesn't even know anything about csgo!

2018-06-12 00:02

You dont need to know a shit about CS to be a host... Thoorin doesnt know about CS and is an analyst

2018-06-12 00:17

0/8

2018-06-12 19:41

am i lying?

2018-06-12 19:57

Yes because he does know cs. No where near the best but when it comes to map strengths and vetos he is really good.

2018-06-12 20:03

well maybe he does...

Lets go BIG

Caue Moura xD but bida<3

they all have their chance as long as Astralis is not there

GOGO SK ! estarei la pra curtir esse evento ! \o/

SK? FAZe? No Astralis? tier 5 event

2018-06-12 00:39

Sooo true, its sad Astralis didn't get invited, they propably didnt invite them cause they knew they would win, the only other team that has a little chance of winning this tournament is FaZe, SK has completly fallen off

2018-06-12 17:01

yeah they give chance to win something for SK/FAZE because no astralis xD

2018-06-12 17:03

2018-06-12 14:22

I'll go to the event and if everything goes ok, I'll see Sk be the champion at their house, lets go sk.

2018-06-12 14:20

This will be interesting to see n0thing's first match with mousesports.

2018-06-12 14:46

THX GOD NO GORDOX CASTING

2018-06-12 14:52

Ntc about to get a rude awakening.

2018-06-12 15:25

My first event, I'm so anxious

2018-06-12 16:18

Good guys Astralis skipping some events so other teams can win too.

2018-06-12 16:56

Thank god!!! Astralis with magisk is unbeatable. I think faze will try to win this but with a new player with low training it will be difficult. Olof realy should try to comeback soon. I think this event is a sk win. No surprise. But only because of olof not atending and a turbulent time for faze.

2018-06-12 17:14
