Who asked?

2021-02-15 16:46

"-Play-in: Who will miss out on the main event?"

pretty good except idk about new mouz. they have a fairly weak bracket though so we'll see if they can beat gambit i guess. just noticed you have 3 teams from the final group. the bracket dont work like that :((

2021-02-15 16:53

yeah, so the teams aren't seeded again, it's just straightforward? I didn't find exact info about that anyway, then I prolly go with these, per two brackets: BIG & spirit mousesports & gambit complexity & virtus.pro fnatic & liquid

2021-02-15 17:20

You forgot gambit

2021-02-15 16:54

I have very little faith in gambit, but yeah, suppose if it's them, T1, mouz and RNG and two teams make it, then gambit has a real chance.

2021-02-15 17:21

tbh i am a little bit surprised you have such high faith in mouz i think gambit will go 2-0, mouz either has a honeymoon game or gambit will go through relatively easily they play great cs and somehow are still under the radar

sure, they did recently win vp but they also lost to fpx which should be weaker than vp on paper. they've won against some tier 1 opponents, but they still seem bit inconsistent to me. that's probably they're still under my radar a bit. I don't believe they can beat someone like mouz or OG, who can make good comebacks. but yeah, let's see, I like to be surprised.

well rn it seems like i will be surprised :D tbf it was really close against RNG for mouz

it's still map 3, so we'll see and yeah, I woulda expected that dexter should be able to destroy his old team, because well, he knows all their tactics

2021-02-16 18:51

well id rather say his old mates know his tactics :D i think it was up to the individuals in that game

2021-02-16 20:02

starting to look like my surprise

guess it happened to be that way yeah ^^

7 replies

yeah. but still, it could've been better, and we'll see how they do against harder opponents, current mouz isn't very awe-inspiring...

2021-02-16 20:04

true i dont really see them doing too much damage in the main event, but i mean we talked about them qualifying here ;)

2021-02-16 20:06

yeah. well done gambit. maybe they'll be the dark horse

2021-02-16 20:07

will be interesting!

2021-02-16 20:15

just wanted to remind you of this conversation right now ;)

2021-02-26 17:09

yeah, I'm sold. I was sold already in the group stage

2021-02-26 17:37

i am glad to hear that

2021-02-26 18:12

Maybe that can happen

2021-02-15 19:19

-choko+jackz

2021-02-15 18:07

Ask him how much niko tilts lmao

2021-02-15 18:28

ahh late one today

Nexa will tell the world "niko is great amazing bla bla" as YnK but reality is G2 got even worse with him. And that is very pathetic when you consider that Niko is more skilled than Jackz, except as a team player.

2021-02-15 18:29

facts

2021-02-15 23:35

NiKo isn't a saint. He isn't a perk you equip and suddebly al his teammates get +10 skill points. He is doing his part, kennys is the real problem in g2 rn and tbf nexa isn't much of an IGL as well.

2021-02-16 00:12

KennyS was before Niko not in best shape but not a problem. Niko is there and he is a problem. Find the connection... oh wait it is obv.

2021-02-16 07:58

- amanek +Juanflatro or Rigon

-kenny +xsepower

2021-02-15 19:33

I don't think nexa will be able to give any detailed comments about substitutions in forZe, even though some players may be familiar to him

2021-02-15 19:55

nexa is a cutie

2021-02-15 20:38

2021-02-15 21:32

Niko fuck off

2021-02-15 22:06

Bench kennyS .. and let him play with Jackz

2021-02-16 10:01

jackz on a diff team now ur basically saying kick kennyS i won't disagree pls make it happen he is just no t1 player anymore

2021-02-16 16:54

What team he iz on? XD

2021-02-18 05:34

Saw him play like a week ago for an only French t4 team

2021-02-18 09:47

i agree with u some part like bench kennyS. They need solid awper like Syrson if they transfer him from big. G2 going to be solid.

2021-02-17 11:45

niko is the problem lol G2 with jackz was so much better niko ruined everything when everything was working out very well when FaZe was getting in form with kjaerbot suddenly niko left FaZe kekw the reason he left FaZe was also very funny "i wanna play with my cousin" hahahaha niko are you fucking 7 years old? no one is whining to play game with brothers hen1 / lucas1 and ScreaM / nivera are also brothers but they never whined kekw

2021-02-17 16:26

I agree. I mean G2 was definitely better than how they are right now... It's just two cousins want to play together. So they kicked Jackz .. Jackz my bf
