No Ence in Finnish tournament, weird.

2019-09-04 22:22

They had schedule problems

2019-09-04 23:27

Doomed event.

2019-09-05 00:46

I know right I thought it would be a good event when NRG was announced but things have gone downhill since then.

2019-09-05 11:18

Crazy v cloud9 still is gonna be good show if C9 doesn't fails on all lvls (assume they would no matter what they would do)

2019-09-13 14:15

they are playing at Blast pro series Moscow at same time so thats why

2019-09-05 13:56

Ah makes sense. Cheers

CR4ZY 2-0 SJ ( could be tight map if Jamppi goes off ) C9 2-0 FURIA ( Atm Furia isn't doing good ) CR4ZY 2-0 C9 ( this will be a nice match )

2019-09-04 13:27

Kinda dumb.

2019-09-04 13:28

yep three bo3s in a tournament :DDD what a joke

2019-09-04 17:13

ez money tho

2019-09-04 17:28

First proper e-sports event in Finland with international teams.. Im atleast sick and tired of always watching the following teams play: Havu, SJ, Kova and HREDS.

2019-09-05 07:44

I’m talking about the tournament it self, not the bo3, fuck those teams. No one cares about them.

2019-09-05 13:21

well yeah that is also true

2019-09-05 13:39

cool mix of teams imo, tempted to talk about your flair tho.

2019-09-05 17:20

too ez for CR4ZY

ez tourney win for daps and co.

2019-09-04 13:30

Not cool mathcups

wdym CR4ZY is the best team out of these, and obv SJ is last

2019-09-04 14:33

lol wtf are you doing here JH

I am a regular hltv browser 💯

2019-09-05 08:44

bruhh 💯💯💯💯

2019-09-05 08:53

Furia should be against SJ

2019-09-05 02:13

With this mathup there will be at least one Finnish player in the final for sure, so there is something for the main stream spectators to support. I understand why they did it, but I kind of don't like it. If the event is financially successful, they can make it better the next year.

2019-09-05 03:45

We dont need Finnish player in main stream if they aren't good they dont deserve ti be here

2019-09-05 04:56

Yes I agree, but nobody (from Finland) would come to the event if the final was (the current) mibr vs furia etc. I think the price money is good for all attending teams attending, so overall this is good for CS. If tje event is success, then it is possible to make it more competitive, but now the risks are too big.

2019-09-05 07:40

Until you realise ppl watch for good cs... .

2019-09-05 13:52

those people dont pay 40euro for a ticket tho, they watch from home for free

2019-09-05 17:21

Early congratulations for the best team in the world! TenZ will shine easily. #EzForC9 #TenZGod #NAisTop1

2019-09-04 21:34

HAHAHAHAHA GOOD JOKE

Let's see in the tournament, if Cloud9 doesn't beat FURIA, CR4ZY will. And if FURIA wins the tournament, I admit that my thoughts are wrong.

Cr4zy vs C9 might be an interesting final

2019-09-04 13:57

What an amazing chance to see if new C9 can show development. Cr4zy is my favored team to win, Esperanto is the new deagle king. Furia? 4.8 years of top 30.

2019-09-04 14:05

Esperanto deagle king? you meant TenZ ight?

2019-09-04 14:10

Typical moneygrabbing organizer that wants to have a Finn in a final. That's why they have awful "seeding" and no lower bracket. xaxxaxaxa

2019-09-04 14:13

???????? Cr4zy>>>>>>>>>furia what you on about retard

2019-09-04 14:16

ok thx for this important information

2019-09-04 15:03

There are many companies trying to develop finnish esports scene. I dont think it is a moneygtab alone. Just not super educated organizers regarding esports

2019-09-04 14:41

In my opinion, if they really need to have that 5G mobile tournament by Elisa on stage, they should do it on preshow.

2019-09-04 15:10

5G is not safe bro everyone who go there will die soon it sad fact but true fact

Anyone else coming there? I have tickets but im afraid this event will be a flop

Yeah it is going to be flop

2019-09-04 16:07

me and my 4 friends are coming only because its a flop. we wanna see the catastrophe first hand + the tickets from sj gaming sponsor link was only 20euros

2019-09-04 19:27

I will be there in the CSGO FanZone. But lets not judge just yet. There are alot of big names organizing the event and this event has the potential to make a name for itself. Also as the companies behind this are competing for the "crown" amongst the esports scene in Finland, they cant afford to flop this out. Someday we might even have a bigger international event organized by ESL or Starladder as the scene gets bigger.

2019-09-05 07:38

Luckily they got anders and other great talent.

This is the biggest pushover for cr4zy

2019-09-05 03:49

Ahhh yeaa boiii, i will be there.

2019-09-05 07:28

So jelly. I haven't seen C9 in person since they came to Montreal in 2017!

2019-09-05 10:38

If C9 wins this, it'll be their first tournament win since the Boston Major in January, 2018. 9s are back, baby!

2019-09-05 10:40

I like ENCE, too. But I've been a C9 fan since their first squad, in 2014. Not going to bandwagon hop just because most esports fans aren't loyal to their teams. <3

2019-09-05 10:43

tbh i never liked c9 though its kinda sad that they fell from major win to tier2 but you can only blame the team for the poor performance. same situation with fnatic

2019-09-05 17:31

Shame that SJ has been thinking they would face Furia and have trained based on that information. Dont understand why they got against CR4ZY since their rank is lower than Furias... Furia would have been beatable for them but I think CR4ZY is just on too good mood right now to even lose a map against SJ
