Gen.G win DreamHack Open Anaheim without dropping a map; book ticket to DreamHack Masters Jönköping

24-2-2020 05:41

Gen.G beat FURIA 2-0 in the DreamHack Open Anaheim final to bag the $50,000 grand prize and a spot at DreamHack Masters Jönköping.

Gen.G exceeded all expectations at their first LAN, DreamHack Open Anaheim, where they swept their group with victories over ENCE and Complexity. The North American side then moved on to the playoffs and once again swept opposition beating North and FURIA in two-map series to be crowned champions and secure a spot at the upcoming DreamHack Masters Jönköping.

Gen.G beat FURIA in two maps to steal the show in Anaheim

The final kicked off on Nuke, FURIA’s pick, but it was Gen.G who won the first pistol round on the CT side to set the pace with doubles by Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen and Sam "⁠s0m⁠" Oh. A successful A hit put FURIA on the board after which the Brazilians were quick to tie it up, 3-3. The North American squad took control of the half with clutches by s0m and Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta giving up just two more rounds for a 10-5 partial score.

Gen.G won a 4vs2 afterplant situation in the second pistol and went on to increase their lead 13-5 before FURIA could reply to stay alive in their map pick. Both teams traded rounds but a 1vs4 clutch by koosta that put his team on match point proved to be enough as the Brazilians were unable to retaliate as Gen.G won the following round to close out map one, 16-7.

FURIA put up a fight on Inferno but couldn't push it to a decider

Three kills in an aggressive mid play on Inferno by Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato put FURIA up 1-0, but a plant gave Gen.G enough money to buy the following round and tie it up, 1-1. An early dominating display by s0m put his side up 3-1 before the two teams traded rounds before the North American side then started to snowball with the economic advantage to win the half 10-5 as FURIA could only pepper loose rounds.

FURIA bridged the gap on the attacking side, winning the pistol round and following it up, but they were upset by pistol doubles by s0m in B and koosta on A in the third round of the second half. Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos then won a 1vs2 to keep his team alive, but a huge three kill round by Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand kept Gen.G ahead 12-10 heading into the last stretch of the map.

FURIA started to find openings in the defenses and down 13-15 Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo was able to win a 1vs2 afterplant on A to secure a thirtieth round and push it to overtime, but Gen.G smashed FURIA 3-0 on the CT side before closing out map and match, 19-15.

Original meme. Must be sad having a scene with only one player in top 20 and only 2 in top 40. :(

Must be sad having a scene where the only way to have half-decent teams is to buy players from other continents

2020-02-24 20:50

oh yes liquid is full of foreigners! and please do the bait where you talk about their ancestors being from other countries. I mean I guess technically all players are African, right??? On a real note, French CS used to have such a huge talent pool with 6 players making top 20 in 2014 and 5 players in top 20 in 2015. Now only zywoo and kennys are top 40. How sad is that? Also EG has 1 non-American player and he’s their second best player. Oh and gen.g has 1 non-American player and he’s not exactly carrying. Oh and there are 18 NA players in top 30 teams, and 9 of them are on top 5 teams. France has 8 players in top 30 teams, and 0 of them are on top 5 teams. Oh also the 2 best French teams collectively have only 7 French players (alex, hunter, nexa not french). The top 2 NA teams have 9 NA players (only cerq not NA). How braindead do you have to be to insult NA scene when you’re scene is at an all time low and doesn’t even compare to NA right now?

2020-02-25 08:24

How braindead do you have to be not to know the difference between "your" and "you're" when it's your native language ? Also US 330m people, France 67 so proportionally we rekt you everywhere, kthxbye lowbob.

2020-02-25 10:35

Imagine commenting on grammar to change the subject. Also population is a fair point though it doesn’t change the reality that the French scene has declined a crazy amount

2020-02-25 16:26

nice

Deserved

2020-02-24 05:42

I'm so happy for BnTeT, tears of joy.

Congrats to the best NA team and the best NA player (s0m)!

GG GENGEE! nice tactics and calls by daps as expected from him! s0m MVP!

2020-02-24 05:56

+1 So many threads were being made about how they should kick him. Clowns.

2020-02-24 12:45

GG Gen.G, straight into TOP 30!

s0m is insane, good to see Tim lifting a trophy again

wp geng

Good job what a cool team

s0m farmedddddddd

also koosta with 90 adr and 11 entry kills :o

2020-02-24 05:44

Vini 26 entry kills POG

S0m mvp

This year will be awesome! So much teams will show their full potential... Gen G, CoL, Furia and so on... I love CS every year its becoming more and more interesting with new young talents!

2020-02-24 05:43

be honest, none of them will be really relevant. Winning a DH open tournament doesn't means that the team is strong (even NORTH won some DH Open tournaments LUL)

2020-02-24 05:48

Lets wait and see . Time will show ;) But I think that CoL with be real hidden talents of this year)

2020-02-24 05:52

Being hopeful doesnt hurt anyone. Dont ruin the fun man. Chill out

2020-02-24 06:00

+1 true

Nah this is a dumb take. Vitality had there debut at a DH open and won. As well as ENCE. Both teams went and became top 3 teams.

lmao chill out. vitality's first trophy were also dh open.

+1 everyone starts somewhere. U dont just become tier1 in one day

2020-02-24 06:01

we just saw gen g debut

2020-02-24 07:10

ur opinion doesnt count Pros are improving every time they lose,so i agreed with #23 col,furia,gen g will be a good team this year!

2020-02-24 12:51

He is just an uruguayan no scene trying to be 'relevant'. His opinion never counts.

2020-02-24 15:06

amazing first lan.

u can beat juggernaut, but u cant beat 4 asian with 1 great team-maker. deserved

NaM

2020-02-24 13:25

crazy how you put a different jersey on auti and he suddenly goes back into his prime.

I mean same setup as c9 except better youngster and better import

2020-02-24 06:07

He didn't. He was an exceptional rifle, then a solid awp. He went back to rifles in c9, but really didn't do well, so he's back on awp now that mixwell is gone. Auti on rifles in prime > on awp. But it shows how good of a player he is, regardless.

2020-02-24 06:10

well played

Great job Gen.G, i would never expect it man, but that's a good surprise also i am very glad for Tim.

Autimatic deserves this <3

2020-02-24 05:45

Irrelevant tournamanet anyways DH Open tournaments are always won by tier 3 teams that can't compete against real strong teams.

Every top team was once a tier3 team.

2020-02-24 10:02

youre a weeb so your opinion is worthless

I think weebs are nice.

2020-02-25 08:53

lmfao literally thats all North has been known for. Winning DHs. DH is a legit tournament

2020-02-25 11:09

Unexpected winner lol s0m monster performance

Cloud9 is back 💪🙈🙃

So happy for the team, espicially the star trio. S0m will do great things.

MT furia!! Congratz GG!!

AUTI IS BACK

2020-02-24 05:46

GZ BnTeT,s0m,koosta finally win something

I mean Bntet won some Asian tournaments. I also think this tournament won’t appear on their profile

2020-02-24 05:55

Bare minimum is top 10 team being present. There were no top ten teams here

top 10 teams are trash and can be beaten by a tier 2 any time.

2020-02-25 11:10

I love daps <3

ez god bntet n co

What a run for gen.g I expected them to make the final but to win the event and then on top of that do it without dropping a map. Well fucking played I am looking forward to seeing what they can do

Without lost a single map, impressive 💪

I can't believe this is the same core that played in that horrible Cloud9 roster a few months ago...

Lmao poor TenZ all aim no brain

more like no aim no brain

2020-02-24 08:25

Nah the guy has pretty crisp aim

2020-02-24 08:42

only on aim_botz. I think he needs to stay calm under pressure

2020-02-24 14:36

Agreed. Pressure can mess up anyone's aim unless u can control it.

2020-02-24 22:28

+1 TenZ is overrated

2020-02-24 05:59

I think Mixwell also put pressure on them because he was kinda like "I left Movistar for this? Come on boys"

2020-02-24 06:15

Well he was right and the only one playing decently at the time.

2020-02-24 08:39

It's because they put tim back on awp. I think it was the right choice, despite the fact I think he was better as a rifle before his primary awp role. But also bntet is really good, and clearly s0m is showing his actual potential finally.

2020-02-24 06:14

BnTeT is the savior, the guy literally can do anything in every environment. I can see him being igl and daps kicked later. lmao

2020-02-24 06:17

ENCE KEKW

I was a long time c9 fan, and I'm so happy to see autimatic lift the trophy again ;)

2020-02-24 05:49

same for a tyloo fan,watching bntet finally lift a trophy is pretty happy as well.

they shouldve got it in previous CAC. but woxic is happened. ;(

2020-02-24 06:11

2020-02-24 06:51

I m so glad Flukeria didnt win.

GG GENG and GODTET

my bois koosta and s0m finally get what they deserve!

I think I am going to be a fan of this team moving forward!

Ence are struggling mOrE fIrePoWeR but finished last lululululul

they're having fun

Nah, it seems the entire ENCE roster look like they're about to die of depression every time they play. They were a meme before they had their run at Katowice, an event that ended up giving them some credit in the scene. But after kicking Aleksib all that credit was lost and they've now become even more of a meme.

2020-02-24 13:23

The whole "having fun" thing is a meme as well. I think Allu said that the team was having fun during one of his interviews after kicking Aleksib.

2020-02-24 18:11

BNTET DESERVED THIS GG GEN.G

s0m hard carry

Daps top 10 igl?

#indopride hansel "BnTeT"

ggwp s0m MVP

Lol defeating furia

LMAO hen1 can't even outfrag daps.

2020-02-24 06:09

potential is real here!!!

Hopefully Gen.G can do this against top teams, but they looked promising here for sure.

daps is quite a smart dude

2020-02-24 06:16

Grats!!!

Happy to see Tim having a motivation to play again .

2020-02-24 06:32

2020-02-24 06:52

2020-02-24 07:05

Nice

2020-02-24 07:19

Cant wait to see all these "nice" and "good jobs" change to toxic hate threads as soon as they lose a match...fake community

2020-02-24 07:39

2020-02-24 07:51

Lol

2020-02-24 07:54

that's 2020 csgo community for ya wasn't as stupid and toxic like this in 1.6 :/

2020-02-24 09:48

2020-02-25 00:28

Ez gen.g lolz congrats

2020-02-24 07:50

arhhhhh i'm FOURTH in the anaheim fantasy team FOURTH no money 4 me

2020-02-24 07:55

So happy for Bntet, mans was stuck in CN scene and is gonna make a bigger name for himself in NA. 🙏

2020-02-24 08:06

Surprised for both finalists getting there. Well done, Gen.G! For a team to make results you need 3 players delivering in numbers and s0m was that unexpected 3rd player.

2020-02-24 08:08

sometimes needs only 2

2020-02-24 08:17

Very rarely. NaVi’s tenure with GuardiaN was the best example: Simple and electronic fragging madly, yet they achieved nothing when the 3 other players were playing way too subpar.

2020-02-24 10:06

unexpected & not an easy route to win tournament too but they manage to win it all without dropping maps. love to see them on rio major. lets go Gen g! gen g fighting!

2020-02-24 08:12

EZ 4 ASIAN GUYS AND DAMIAN DAPS

2020-02-24 08:16

I guess it's time to change my name.

2020-02-24 08:22

Good to see that all players off cloud9 major still playing in high level. Rush and autimatic look bê good guys

2020-02-24 08:23

Especially skadoodle

2020-02-24 08:49

I though no one Will remember hum nu he was the mvp of major i consider him one of the best awp

2020-02-25 05:29

No longer is it an Asian duo but an Asian Trio GG GenG real good game

2020-02-24 09:22

there are four Asians now tho

2020-02-24 09:26

So happy for bntet

2020-02-24 09:24

The c9 curse is gone

Ence earned 2000 dollars! They can enjoy their time for sure :)

2020-02-24 09:30

No men, dreamhack open is event for tier 2 teams ofc price pool is lower

2020-02-24 11:05

Daps proving once again that he's one hell of a player when it comes to creating teams from scratch and making them work as a unit

2020-02-24 10:48

"GEN.G WIN DREAMHACK OPEN ANAHEIM WITHOUT DROPPING A MAP" HLTV users: Daps = noob

2020-02-24 10:52

Furia talking trash to compLexity after a super close game, just to get destroyed 2-0 by Gen.G ... Deserved : ) Congrats to Gen.G on the other hand... Winning the whole tournament without dropping a single map. Definitely showing promise for future events.

2020-02-24 11:42
