BIG eliminate Gambit from FACEIT Major

BIG live to fight another day in the FACEIT Major's New Challengers Stage after defeating Gambit 16-8 on Nuke.

BIG got off to a great start to the match, winning the first three rounds as CTs to send out a strong message. Gambit responded with a convincing gun round, but BIG immediately countered the offence with an AWP triple-kill from Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield.

Gambit won a force-buy in the subsequent round, but they simply could not find a way through their opponents' defence in the next three.

gob b played a key role in BIG's victory

The PGL Major Krakow champions then got back on the board with another successful force-buy, but BIG replied with a pair of rounds before the CIS side recovered to bring the scoreline to 5-10.

Now playing as CTs, Gambit kept their hopes alive after by the pistol and the subsequent anti-eco. But once BIG bought up it was all over for Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov & co as the German side took control of proceedings and ran out 16-8 victors to proceed to the final round of this Swiss stage.

Fake china won Major only coz of Zeus and Kane. Kane - the main support for Zeus. So, if you kick him - you will lose Danya too. Gambit knew at and they were unrespectful. BIg confidance from nothing - thats the bad thing, you know.

Not only Zeus won the major. All team did it. Kane useless poker game with wasted mind was only as additive for Zeus. And Zeus put children's conditions, or you do not kick him, or we leave together. It was a provocation. Sooner or later, Zeus would have gone to Navi. He was offered it immediately after the major. Kick Kane was just an excuse. Gambit players burned out. Let's see what navi will win and what they would have win, having Zeus and Kane, but not having a simple and elic.

Lol? Different thing. Maybe Gambit BOTs could make some frags, but they are braindead by themselfes. They dont even know how to use themselfes without good IGL. And to addition to your shit about Si1mpe - we talking about igl. S1mple, Guardian, Flamie, Edward and Seized - star roster without Zeus. They were like Gambit atm (but still stronger lol). What did they won? NOTHING. When Zeus came back and step in the shoes of one of the strongest AWPers. team started to play. I think, NaVi could let go one: S1 or El. After that, they will take good young talant - SDY, Coldi. And they wiil play like solit top-10 team, instead of top-3 atm. But still better then Gambots with no future. Listen to all coaches: they dont want to listen. Star illnes didnt allow. Thats why we can see retardead moves from them - now we have resolts!

and after all, look at Adren without Zeus. 2013-2016 = bot, Zeus has come - 2016-2017 God. Zeus gone - still bot. Yes, they won major like a team. But they couldnt do it without Zeus. Without Hobbit or Dosia thats still was possible as we can see.

AdreN? Players have periods when they play well and when bad you know? Or its because of Zeus and kane all players had an incredible aim and gamesense? After major you will see -flamie, -simple. And your igl with his friend kane, yes friend, not coach, will go to the pension.

Coincidence: only one good Adren perion was with Zeus. Yes? Flamie garbage, S1mple should go. I think they will win Major and retire (Zeus and Kane). AND! You kid cant understand: yes, Kane isnt coach. But he's hapling Zeus mentally. Thets why Zeus good igl - he have support from friend in every bad game.
