FURIA beat Cloud9 in cs_summit 7 opener

26-1-2021 00:39

Cloud9's debut with Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach did not go as they would have hoped as they were cast down to the lower bracket.

FURIA have advanced to cs_summit 7's Group C upper bracket final following a 2-1 victory over Cloud9, spoiling the debut of Xeppaa and making it work with their sixth player, Lucas "⁠honda⁠" Cano, after Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson was ruled out of the tournament due to ongoing passport and document issues.

The first appearance of the Cloud9 Colossus after the release of Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker, a change which saw Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin transition to an AWPing role and the addition of Xeppaa, was a lacklustre one, with FURIA starting strongly on Inferno before making up for a dismal Nuke showing with a one-sided Train victory.

A superb individual showing from Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato, combined with relentless aggression from Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan on the AWP, gave FURIA the edge on the offense of Inferno, with Cloud9's passive approach to banana backfiring for much of the first half as the Brazilian roster kept up the pressure to claim a 10-5 lead at the break.

KSCERATO was the driving force in FURIA's Inferno victory

Cloud9 replied with a fast-paced stance of their own in the second half, mid-round calls from ALEX proving pivotal in turning the tides for the international team. However, multi-kills from KSCERATO kept FURIA in contention, and despite holding the inferior weapons in round 30, the Brazilian side were able to prevail and edge out their map pick to pull ahead in the series.

The tides turned on Nuke as it was Cloud9 who were the dominant force, the trio of Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen, Xeppaa, and Ricky "⁠floppy⁠" Kemery powering their side to a 9-1 lead. Although FURIA clawed back at the end of their CT side, posting five rounds, ALEX's troops remained well in control as they wasted little time taking the map over the line, scoring a 16-6 victory.

It was then Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos's turn to step into the limelight as he kicked off Train with a quad kill and 1vs3 clutch in the pistol round, aiding FURIA in an early 3-1 lead on the attack. Cloud9 stabilised once they had weapons in hand, posting nine rounds by the break, but were left out of sorts in the second half as FURIA won nine rounds in a row to swiftly claim match point before closing the series just two rounds later.

That’s fucking crazy that they went 16-6 against furia on map 2 and the furia wins were extremely close. Xeppaa top frag with 1.13 rating holy shit what a debut

2021-01-26 04:06

i really miss the good times of c9 when they won the major with that legendary lineup with stew, tarik and ska. imo that was the best major final ever.

16-14 loss, 6-16 win, 16-11 loss. The games they lost were far tighter than their Nuke dominance. Chalk it up to being a new team.

Still lost. Doesn't matter if it was close

2021-01-26 08:19

It means that they still have hope to be a better team. If they'd lost 2-0 16-3 and 16-5 I dont think that would look so good for so expensive project

2021-01-26 08:35

Bro just don't even try it it's useless with these retards they're gonna shit on c9 and HenryG even if they win the fucking major

If you change your flair from Astralis to bot9 maybe they’ll have a chance to win a major

2021-01-26 13:01

It's very hard to talk with stupid toxic ppl, the only thing that they try to do is bait and mock... I Agree with you, C9 were close in 2 maps, I believe they will get there. Also Xeppa, insane 1.13 rate. Hope the best for my fellas...

2021-01-26 11:51

Agree. The trolls just want their fun. C9 weren't bad, and floppy wasn't at his best.

Change a coach, a player and not make a step forward in 3 months with so many expenses is a failure. And HenryG should be the first to answer for this. I'm sure Jack Etienne regretted a hundred times that he returned to csgo

just got the player but is supposed to play like a team who know what everyone is doing ........... ok mate well done

2021-01-26 00:40

I think they need time, although i think this wouldn't work in the future too, how can a team without a primary awper make their way to get a top 10 world ranking? that's insane... probably they'll reach the top 15 and stay around there.

THEY NEED AT LEAST 1 HYBRID PLAYER FOR THAT

Yeah, they might need a 6th man roster and bring an awper to the team.

2021-01-26 00:46

6TH MAN ROSTER IS THE FUTURE! I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE A PRIMARY AWPER AND A HYBRID PLAYER, SO THEY CAN BE MORE VERSATILE USING 6 MEN ACCORDING TO THE MAP AND OPPONENTS

2021-01-26 00:49

why you have caps lock on men(((

2021-01-26 02:34

:(( yea wtf man

2021-01-26 03:21

YES

liquid b4 fallen managed to somewhat do it but naf is a 100x better awper than es3tag or alex so

2021-01-26 01:14

true

NAF didnt awped a lot when Liquid was the best team in the world it was mostly nitr0 who is also a fine awper himself. NAF and stew 2nd AWP depending on the map I remember NAF awping B Mirage for example but not a lot more

2021-01-26 10:44

the 2020 liquid where naf used the awp a lot more was a top 10 team towards the end of the year, when liquid was top 1 yeah nitr0 mostly awped but he isn’t an amazing awper at all, he’s worse than naf at it imo and about as good as es3tag at the time

2021-01-26 17:01

I think the bucks spent on bringing Perkz to their LoL team hurts more.

i will never understand why they spent so much money on this average team

2021-01-26 01:07

Facts 1.3 million for ALEXX???

2021-01-26 01:32

0/8. JUST signed a new coach and a new player. Went from #225 to #27 in 1 month AND now reached #19 in the world. Also won vs coL and other teams.

2021-01-26 09:22

Nuke yesterday was sick but they have to work a lot on that B defense on inferno. Granted arT is a nightmare to play against so this is not worrying signs for me, let's see against 'normal' teams. Those plays entrying B site contact-scoping are just nuts I'm not a FURIA fan but he's so fun to watch man

assuming junior will be as good as hen1 with the english comms and no xp playing together

2021-01-26 00:48

GOOD POINT NEW PLAYSTILE OF SNIPING + CHANGE IN THE LANGUAGE COMMS NEED TO ADAPT WITH TIME

2021-01-26 01:06

Honestly, why dont Junior learns basic portuguese? At least to speak in-game, callouts, etc. I know that Spanish to Portuguese is much easier than English to Portuguese, but it's not that hard...

2021-01-26 04:51

Art has already said that communication as a junior1 will be in English, a joint decision of the players and the organization, I believe that these first months will be difficult for furia, it takes a lot of adaptation. However, due to the team's potential, they will arrive very strong for PGL Stockholm.

2021-01-26 12:15

he can use that time while having problems in the passport to lern the basic

We used to call this the Na'Vi special.

2021-01-26 01:18

xeppa is now their best player haha, this is embarrassing

Why? He's sick. What a shame nobody could pick the Chaos roster the Vanity-xeppaa-leaf core was really promising if surrounded by other NA talented pros like auti or Obo

2021-01-26 10:52

ovbiously hes sick, im not disrespecting him, but its embarrassing that an NA player is their best in this roster, while few of this players competed in the highest level of cs

Tbh c9 made huge mistake signing woxic and esetag for big money.I think that team with guys like Alex,oSee,floppy,Xeppa,Leaf had much more potential than line up henry made cuz he tbh has no idea what is he doing at this point

2021-01-26 01:51

es3tag is better than you think, he played with some of the best Nuke players (Astralis) and then his next team is quite good on Nuke as well, I don't think its a coincidence. I will agree tho that oSee would've been a super good pickup.

they tried getting oSee and floppy when they dropped the old cloud9 team but they both declined then floppy changed his mind last second

2021-01-26 03:09

he's also a fucking insane Train player and put up s1mple numbers on that map when he was on Astralis and Cloud9 ban Train for some fucking reason

2021-01-26 11:29

True some of his Train games on Astralis were crazy. To be fair though, C9 just played Train and es3tag dropped 11 kills. I don’t know why he was so good on Astralis but he isn’t at that level now.

2021-01-26 15:44

dude he is top 10 team player for sure but esetag is not 2 milion dollar player 100% esetag is not star player on top 10 team he is at best second or third star.He is solid peace but on his own he is not top20 player in the world

2021-01-26 20:20

Ottond is decent, nato is kinda bad/incosistent

Nah both at not tier 1 material,i have no idea where is this hype for otto coming from,he had one great match against astralis and all of sudden everyone has mad respect for him,even tho he is not top 10 team material...

He performed under nexa and since then he has been without decent igl or team so he could at least be tested

2021-01-26 03:01

what about oSee

osee has a lot of potential i wished they kept him instead of woxic

2021-01-26 20:22

nato is not a t1 player...

İ have lost all my stream points predicting c9 lol

2021-01-26 07:52

FURIA is looking dead with honda, they barely won that match, I hope they will be better with junior. Cloud9 is showing a little bit of life left in them, with small changes I think they could be really good.

2021-01-26 07:54

ANOTHER GUY WHO ONLY SEE STATS OK BUT I AGREE JUNIOR IS BETTER WITH AWP, BECAUSE HE IS MORE EXPERIENCED WITH IT AR THIS LEVEL BUT IN TERMS OF RAW AIM I GO WITH HONDA

2021-01-26 12:39

You pick honda over junior? This seems like a joke tbh.

2021-01-26 14:53

2021-01-26 08:18

Either Furia are ass with Honda or C9 are finally performing to their expectations.

2021-01-26 09:00

CLOUD9 HAD A HUGE BOOST IMO IN FIREPOWER AND STRATS

2021-01-26 12:40

Can anyone tell me why Cloud9 is invited to this events? They should play tournaments according to their tier.

2021-01-26 10:07

I think its the same reason as to why mibr is also "invited" to Blast events

2021-01-26 17:24

I don't understand one thing. Who is supposed to be a star player in C9? Es3tag? Well, he's like positionr 2/3 MAYBE for T1 standards? Floppy same at best Mezii? Nowadays? Cmon. Now they got xepaaa, who is like semi star, but that's it. And ye, they still don't have T1 awper. CoLULssus

2021-01-26 10:49

Those B site rushed were a disaster, and the popdog drops by Esetag.

2021-01-26 11:05

they need to recruit simple and cloud9 will be top 5

2021-01-26 11:24

you could say that for almost any team xd if a team gets a s1mple or zywoo they are almost instantly top 5 contender

2021-01-26 12:01

feels bad to be the c9's shareholders right now.

2021-01-26 12:06

I am really a fan of henryG and his team. but I feel like they lack an 'x' factor. I think Woxic is a very good awper, who always takes his first kill. Xeppa ... yes we'll see.
