CR4ZY eliminate fnatic at Europe Minor

20-7-2019 17:23

CR4ZY took down fnatic 2-0 in the lower bracket final of the Europe Minor, stopping the Swedes on the road to the StarLadder Major.

The elimination series started on Train, fnatic's map pick, with Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström clutching the Terrorist pistol to his side on the board. However, CR4ZY replied with a force buy, and took momentum on the CT side of the map. After finishing the defensive side with a 12-3 lead, CR4ZY managed to closed out the map despite some difficulties, 16-13.

Three-time Major winner JW will not be participating at the upcoming one in Berlin

Dust2 followed, where neither team was able to put the foot down, each one taking two or three rounds before the other side was able to reply. The half finished with CR4ZY having an 8-7 lead, which they extended thanks to Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač's triple in the pistol. fnatic bounced back to a 12-10 lead, but CR4ZY didn't give up and mustered four more rounds to win Dust2 16-13 and eliminate fnatic from the event.

Yeah let's kick the carry of the team Outstanding move

twist carry? lul he has been the most inconsistent. Whiffs most of his shots with AWP. 1 good game does not redeem him. At least, Xizt has been consistently shit.

2019-07-20 17:44

5 replies

Well he played the whole minor good Everyone in this team is inconsistent so therefore just kick the whole team

2019-07-20 17:45

no -twist because if JW wants to rifle then get a dedicated AWP player, not a part-timer like twist. nawwk would be a good addition.

2019-07-20 17:50

1 reply

Probably would work out better, they should give him a chance at least

2019-07-20 17:51

The entire team is pretty inconsistent outside of Krimz.

2019-07-20 19:05

If you're talking about consistently dogshit yeah Krimz fits the bill

2019-07-20 20:32

Twist is the worst player on the team wtf are you talking about even Xizt is better

Do you need some glasses? Xizt ist definitly worse

2019-07-20 20:34

Xizt actually does something as he is the IGL. Twist does absolutely nothing.

2019-07-20 20:40

Lmao

On a good side, hope they kick that bot Xizt from the team

He’s been shit for like 3 years now. He should fuck off and save his dignity

2019-07-20 17:31

hope the team would read your comment and act upon it.

2019-07-20 17:34

Save JW pls

SWEDISH CS AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Hahahahah pisaj po svedjanima

2019-07-21 03:03

nope, Challenger stage its already Major (stickers and other stuff so counts like a Major too) its 1st time we will not see Fnatic stickers

2019-07-21 03:04

fnatic rip

Gg roster change incoming, bye twist and xizt

12 replies

But who will replace xizt as igl? Sweden has no igl’s

Floosha ofc

2019-07-20 17:36

Why? He doesnt like igling and has a huge break

2019-07-20 18:04

Maybe someone in the team has to step up and take this responsibility and the senior players are the ones who should do it, JW and krimz and I think they need to change the coach too. Flusha won't comeback to fnatic coz they kicked him last year and it's still not known when he'll come back. Xizt said they don't need to change the roster but constantly playing like this shows that they're not going anywhere with the current team. Twist's is still not defined, he plays awp and rifle both and the team needs a dedicated player which sticks to one kind of weapon

8 replies

The team is in shambles. Jw and krimz are no leaders. Obviously otherwise either of them would have stepped up already

2019-07-20 18:05

7 replies

I named JW and krimz coz they stupidly signed a 3 year contract with fnc and since they have to play for the same team then why not try experiment with IGL coz if an outside player come as an IGL, he'll definitely take time to know the players and build the structure and during that I don't think they can win many matches so this will increase the frustration within the players and team will continue to go dogshit

2019-07-20 18:21

6 replies

I know why you said it. But leading requires special skills. Calling tactics and leading a team is a whole different thing. Leader pop up in front of a team automatically. And krimz and jw won’t make it.

2019-07-20 18:36

You're absolutely correct that both of them won't work as leader but isn't cs is also about adapting the situation and work accordingly? and also no one is a born leader they learn and adapt to the situation and move forward from that point. On the other hand even i would not want these 2 to play IGL coz it will destroy their natural play style.

4 replies

Well you basically comfirmed my point in the end of your comment. If one of those would actually step up and show they would be willing to lead it would show some sort of character and balls. But the fact both of them are still the same after several years show to me that they are saturated, unmotivated and happy with their renewed 3 year easy paycheck.

Yes they don't even have the hunger to win now, ez money for 3 years

2019-07-20 19:16

It’s disgusting but it happens in every profession. Thats why i’m so happy to see teams as cr4zy play well. Young hungry guys who want to fight. Same for the fact mouz picked up young guns

2019-07-20 19:56

Cr4zy played well and deserved the win, at this point fnc isn't even trying but it's not good for young player like brollan

2019-07-20 22:42

fnatic in 2019 LULW

a major without fnatic... :/

That's sad :(

Disband incoming

flukenatic

Xizt please retire

Rip Fnatic

+1 possible cr4zy stickers but then -1 fnatic not in the major for the 1st time :(

2019-07-20 17:26

FeelsBadMan,but i mean,they fucking deserve it dude,after they changed Golden for Xizt,they couldn't made it to the single major play-off with him.. Damn...i really feel pretty bad for Brollan

sometimes i hate fnatic but hate to not see them at the major :(

Golden is a terrible leader and igl

2019-07-20 20:35

(In my opinion)He is still a little bit better then Xizt

2019-07-21 15:28

Xizt is a way better IGL simply for the fact that his lineups dont implode because players lose faith in him. Exact same reason why he was kicked from fnatic and Cloud 9.

2019-07-21 16:16

EU Minor too strong laughable that we have CIS Minor with 2 Slots like EU.

2019-07-20 17:25

This is also very true.

Time to change roster

2019-07-20 17:33

RIP fnatic, and nice game from CR4ZY, happy for them :)

Three-time Major winner JW will not be participating at the upcoming one in Berlin.

Still think it was a stupid rebrand on their part but it's still a good team..

2019-07-20 17:42

This is why pronax left from fnatic in time,to save this line-up.Meanwhile Xizt joined and he just destroyed this line-up

Back to the pit

time to change roster indeed.. this is beyond disappointing.

losing to better team?

2019-07-20 17:37

Yes that's the problem crazy is the better team.

2019-07-20 17:43

cr4zy has sky high A game, I don't see problem in that

2019-07-20 18:00

Are u really saying that a no name team should be beating a team like fnatic , one of the most legendary orgs in esports with multiple major winners in the team? Even with crazy a game , fnatic should be able to beat them with their c game if they are looking to be an elite team. The fact that fnatic lost makes them no different from vp

2019-07-20 20:07

stopped reading at no name team, cr4zy is top 20 for quite a while and is up and coming team for top 10, fnatic is big name but players obviously didn't quite play up to it. You must be 10 years old. If cr4zy play their A game(soon probably top10 in rankings) they would lose to other top team playing their C ? Just wake up and grow up

2019-07-20 20:48

im not saying they would , im saying that they should. fnatic is a team that is looking to be number 1 and crazy is a for which even top 20 is considered a good rank. if fnatic want to be number 1 then they should be beating a team like crazy with their c game ,but they lost to them in a big game so thats obviously a problem. i dont expect u to understand so im out , seems like i hurt your feeling by calling crazy a no name team even tho i didnt intend to mock them

2019-07-21 08:17

Fnatic, Nip, Faze needs some massive changes and fast, partially Navi too. It gets really boring to see only Liquid or Astralis as leading teams

Navi is good , just watch them

NaVi wut. Boomich is a really great addition and they haven't really played alot with him yet. Give them time Zeus is retiring this year anyway so we will get another roster change

2019-07-20 17:47

jw it s shaking now like kjarbye

Kjaerbyes shaking cannot be mimicked

-xizt +draken

Biggest upset of the major by far.

The major hasn't even begun lol

New day, new fnatic. Never change.

FIRST -TWIST - XIZT . NO MORE GOOD WORDS

Twist has the highest rating why kick him

One game He is mighty inconsistent

2019-07-20 17:48

thats better than consistently bad

Solid . no good awper. look his stat. kpr 0.66 , dpr, 0.65

2019-07-20 17:59

JW is the main awper on CT and Twist gets to do the hard job awping on T side.

2019-07-20 18:34

Twist is the worst player on the team lul

2019-07-20 20:36

Thanks for the money, Mr. Cr4zy!

Let's gooo! Sorry for calling otto a bot :(

2019-07-20 17:35

Flusha was fnatic they've been tier 3 since he left

you can't get lower then this as a team, losing to CR4ZY man, thats a sign that you need a change.

CR4ZY has a big future. If they keep their performance like that, they will be a solid top 10-15 ranked Team

2019-07-20 19:43

Yeah, they have sure proved them self of being a though oponent.

2019-07-21 18:32

hltv.org/news/25973/jw-and-krimz-sign-th.. #68 Firstly they didn't pass Main Qualifiers, nowadays they can't pass the minor

wp boyz

Is this the first time in years that fnatic didnt make it to the major?

Krimz Cold to faze

2019-07-20 17:39

I hope they kick twist and xizt and get nawwk + a good igl(maybe flusha)

He won't come back to fnatic

2019-07-20 17:41

Thats why i said maybe but i think nawwk is definitely an upgrade, brollan and krimz are the best players in that roster right now, jw also is playing good(also krimz and jw have 3 years contract). They just need that awper upgrade and a good igl who can guide the roster in the right way

2019-07-20 17:46

That 3 year contract is a mistake by JW and krimz and JW is not playing now as he was before

2019-07-20 18:10

Krimz has been horrible for all of 2019 the best players are JW and Brollan

2019-07-20 20:38

They didn't nerf the AUG enough

ez for the german team with mixed players!

botnatic haha

I dont hate any player. Or ever write add or kick some player. But i dont think Xizt fits and his igl style to fnatic. They need some player igl like karrigan who can make them great. Or even bring back flusha and thats all they need.

They should bring Golden back.

2019-07-20 18:14

Thanks for idea i forgot Golden fnatic was doing good with him.

2019-07-20 18:23

They should have brought karrigan as soon as he got kicked.

2019-07-20 20:10

wow

Ahahha

2019-07-20 18:08

Holy ****! I didn't expect a 2-0 from them! Good job!

OMEGALUL fnatic made a good choice in picking up xizt

2019-07-20 18:22

Come on, its obvious xizt wont improve this team even if you give him 10 more years. Shame about those long contracts No fnatic team should lose these type of games, but new standard has been set for forever it seems Keep brollan and krimz and ad some young players, thats it, we can wait

dont know why i thought you meant Fnatic^^

2019-07-21 18:35

Rip fnatic, thats a really big hit for them

2019-07-20 22:00

fnatic should disband and rebuild , since JW and KRIMZ has 3 years contract ... they need to build a team around them. I'd like to see olofmeister and JW together again .. I'd say they should add two more players from other countries, maybe an international fnatic lineup can be better than 100% Swedish lineup.
