EG awarded forfeit win over Triumph in IEM Fall North America

7-10-2021 00:21

A player sleeping through match time leaves Triumph down 1-2 in Group B.

Evil Geniuses have been given a forfeit victory over Triumph in Group B of IEM Fall North America after Jack "⁠xCeeD⁠" Holiman slept through the starting time of the match.

For Evil Geniuses, the free win is a crucial boon as they previously held a 1-1 record, while for Triumph, the loss comes as a travesty given they managed an upset win over TeamOne on day one, ending with a 1-1 record of their own.

Due to Brendan "⁠Bwills⁠" Williams moving, Triumph were already making use of their registered substitute, Wesley "⁠viz⁠" Harris, and were therefore unable to make up for the no-show of xCeeD.

stanislaw's side now hold a 2-1 record in Group B

Insult to injury is added when considering the veto for the match resulted in Nuke being the battleground between the two teams — a map that Evil Geniuses hold a 0% winrate on in the last six months, and is Triumph's best map.

The forfeit also leaves Triumph in a dire spot as their chance to advance top two out of their group is now in jeopardy, which would be the only way for them to guaranteed a berth to the PGL Stockholm Major as they entered IEM Fall with 0 RMR points.

A fifth place finish (1875 points) would not be enough to overtake EXTREMUM, who sit atop the leaderboard with 1880 points, and as such, Triumph's fate would be entirely out of their hands and would be reliant on EXTREMUM placing among the top four.

nah, they definitely had a chance to qualify for the major, still kinda do. they beat teamone 16-7. They aren't bad and have potential but him sleeping through the first game is probably a vibe killer. dont think they have ever played 00Nation before. dude could have woke up and failed to qualify for the major and jobless. he's lucky

he must have good relationship w his teammates, or will be kicked after if they don't qualift, it's just unnacceptable, if they won't, then it's surely a throw for EG

Best part is XCeed just joined the team, not even a month ago.

2021-10-07 00:31

On his twitter it says FPL And radiant So he probably doesnt care about cs But thats not a good PR move from him xd

2021-10-07 00:46

i like this take

2021-10-07 00:52

more likely he doesn't care about twitter

2021-10-07 09:50

He is just fat with no energy man, I doubt sex is the reason:D

xCeed.

2021-10-07 00:25

xCeeD

its literally in the article im stupid sorry

Yes u are

2021-10-07 08:11

WTF LMAO

Not good looks NA CS

2021-10-07 00:38

As if NA CS had a great look

2021-10-07 07:51

New Holland talking trash LUL

2021-10-07 10:35

no NA jokes kkkkkkkkkkkk :p

great to see a well-organized and professional CSGO

" Jack "⁠xCeeD⁠" Holiman slept through the starting time of the match." LMAO

Sleeping through the match, this is what NA CS has become… unfortunate really..

EG plz don't qualify just because someone slept it would be embarrassing

More embarrassing if somehow they still manage to not qualify

that would be straight fire

2021-10-07 10:10

sleep > major

Put other team NOW! -Triumph +RGB

Oh god, this is so dumb but I feel for him, he must feel terrible

Agreed, man this is so tough like you'll be ridiculed and mocked over for the rest your life

especially if they don't qualify due to this one match :/

2021-10-07 00:29

average NA CS

NA with more legend slots for the major than CIS

Aftual fucking joke considering slmost all of teams wouldn't get nore than 5 rounds vs most cis teams

Yeah we have one team thats even close to t1 being liquid and they will still bomb out like trash NA cs has been dead for a while

2021-10-07 00:56

Don't be so harsh, they're surely fine

2021-10-07 02:58

Just realistic. Liquid will most likely do alright yet will still be out in either groups or early playoffs.

2021-10-07 03:17

I personally have issues with Stew only, the rest seem solid and reliable, they could easily go to semis at least if they don't stumble upon some awkward opponent or unexamined CIS team

2021-10-07 03:38

must be a joke?

hahahhaha

Ban this 2 for a year at least,it`s just shows the attitude of those players,and thanks for ruinning my dream team

Stay mad XDDDDD dude goes zzzz

This is the most NA thing I've seen all week lol

Expected from NA cs

triLuLmph bad look for na cs

Evil Geniuses: What's our EVIL plan? Sleeping pills!

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

NA CS lmaooooo

pog

Na sleep >>>>> match for one slot for Major.

PogChamp

2021-10-07 00:32

This is exaclty why nobody takes NA CS seriously nowadays

2021-10-07 03:47

Dude, it's unbelievable xDDDD

what how

2021-10-07 00:33

He is online 🤗

Sounds like some shit that happens in open not a major qualifier

>Like 4:30pm his time >sorry I'm late guys lol slept in a little bit

The only game they will win ofc

2021-10-07 00:34

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NA CS AT ITS BEST :D

Painful if you read it like that, their chances disappearing

2021-10-07 00:35

It's not like they had any chances with this roster

2021-10-07 01:20

They defeated 00nation, nuke was their way map and eg is weak, playoff would have been enough afaik

2021-10-07 08:02

2021-10-07 00:36

CAREER ENDING

NA CS Career ending move

if he was high he would say that he just slept.

"I took so many edibles once I missed my first match with X" seen somewhere before in NA CS

2021-10-07 00:44

Would be legendary if he was just high as a fucking kite

2021-10-07 14:59

Triumph (org) and xCeeD should be banned from all Majors from now on, as a punishment

Why would the org be banned? It's not their fault their player was sleeping. And getting banned from majors indefinitely for sleeping through a match? No, that's too harsh imo

2021-10-07 00:40

If the org sign someone that is unprofessional enough like this, the org should be punished, definitely

2021-10-07 00:53

how would the org know he would be unprofessional about this in the future? As a player you're supposed to be responsible, it's on xCeeD, not Triumph

2021-10-07 00:55

If that were the case almost every team in CS should be banned

2021-10-07 05:12

You are a dumbass if you actually think the TO's should ban either the org or the player. As per that logic most people in the world would be blacklisted for missing work if everyone started using your logic.

2021-10-07 01:33

THIS IS WHY NA NEEDS LAN MAYBE HE WOULDVE BEEN AWAKE

Rofl

+1 kek

2021-10-07 01:13

even the NA players dont take NA CS serious xDDDD

NO WAY

2021-10-07 00:42

That's a mistake you don't get to make twice in your career

Only way to Eg win a match kekw

Lmao wtf did I just read

ZzZZzzZZZzzZZZzzz

2021-10-07 00:45

OK, this is definitely funny if xCeeD really overslept, but are we really sure nothing serious happened to him?

2021-10-07 00:47

OK, nvm, he's back, so probably actually overslept. lmfao

"Insult to injury is added when considering the veto for the match resulted in Nuke being the battleground between the two teams — a map that Evil Geniuses hold a 0% winrate on in the last six months, and is Triumph's best map." lmfaoooo

wow lol

2021-10-07 00:48

the match shouldn't even be early wtf?

Nope, he woke up at 6 PM according to people on Twitter rofl.

2021-10-07 00:59

wow, that just fucked up

I actually feel sorry for the others players in the team. They don’t event are paid to play and have to deal with this kind of bullshit. Anyway, NA can’t joke about immortals forfeiting a map that one time. Forfeiting because you’re drunk/hungover (chads) >>>>>>> forfeiting because you “felt sleepy” (betas)

2021-10-07 00:49

wardell also overslept once aswell

2021-10-07 03:09

never forfeit when drunk/hungover

2021-10-10 15:30

Actually very sad for him and the team, this is on the same guilt level as being caught cheating. He won't ever be able to get away from this.

2021-10-07 00:50

This guys just dont fxcking care Imagine u and ur team fighting for major wich is the highest level of the competition and ur team loose cause u were sleeping Dude I wouldn’t even eat if I supposed to play in that tournament. damn

please eat before playing tournament or you will have shaky aim. make nigeria big

2021-10-07 12:13

Ok brother i will do <3

2021-10-07 12:15

So unfortunate for him

xCeed: I sleep

2021-10-07 01:10

xSLeeP

PEAK NA CS SMH

That shows alot about IEM Fall NA

Why cant they just lie and say its blackout in his house right now?

2021-10-07 01:16

They would still be able to contacts him then

2021-10-07 08:00

unluko but funy

2021-10-07 01:17

And this game was to be played when? Afternoon? Damn, we have these teams a chance to qualify to major and they dont even care? Bit of a contrast to EU rmr lmao

2021-10-07 01:19

Remember when immortals slept in and was late for match. Lol

2021-10-07 01:30

xDDDDDD

Lmao

2021-10-07 01:58

who the F sleeps at a major qualifier

2021-10-07 02:05

Probably just an nap that went a bit out of hand

2021-10-07 07:59

2021-10-07 02:13

2021-10-07 02:24

Damn, I guess that's a strong will to stick to the sleeping schedule.

2021-10-07 02:31

total commitment from the NA guys lmao

2021-10-07 02:47

Probably the most ridiculous csgo related thing I’ve heard since that whole kNg / FNS drama in… 2017? It’s actually so laughable that it makes me angry even though I normally don’t care about NA CS. I‘m really sorry for xSLeeP‘s teammates, this would’ve actually been winnable.

2021-10-07 03:28

PFFAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH WHAT HOW THE FUCK DO YOU FALL ASLEEP AND MISS AN IMPORTANT ASS MATCH

2021-10-07 03:41

LOL

2021-10-07 03:45

Lmao sleeping in. Come on man, if you want to make this your profession, please be professional about it. Tardiness isn't good enough.

2021-10-07 03:53

It's not even sleeping in. It was fucking 5pm in the evening. Dude liked a Twitter post at about 3pm so he 100% took a nap like a dumbass lol.

2021-10-07 07:53

lmao shiet bahahaha

2021-10-09 21:31

its NA esports, nothin to be surprised about. They either slack off or depends on foreigner imports then blame everything on the epidemic and lack of motivation

2021-10-07 03:54

what a damn goof ball

2021-10-07 03:58

Stewie was right about 10am i guess then

at least stewie woke up

2021-10-07 10:00

Imagine losing a major spot because you overslept

2021-10-07 04:55

Any Residentsleepers in chat?

2021-10-07 05:01

bruh slept over LUL

2021-10-07 05:03

OMG kkkkkkkkkk

2021-10-07 05:09

Exdeedeeddeeeddedededeee

2021-10-07 05:57

I really hope that bet sites didnt paid for thia result, because if they did, that was the best matchfixing i've ever seen. EG let their worst map, Triumph picked their best... They Just knew it all along...

2021-10-07 06:07

I guess def wins will not count

2021-10-07 11:25

Why didn't they play 4 v 5? EG are a pretty average team so they might have been beaten ever with only four players.

2021-10-07 07:03

I guess it’s a rule they need to have 5 to start, gambit played a few rounds without hobbit but at least they started with 5 then

Sad

2021-10-07 07:35

Major qualify is boring so zzzzzzzzzzzzz

2021-10-07 08:32

Absolutely unbelievable. Unprofessional is an understatement.

What a shitshow

2021-10-07 12:00

They needed to listen to Stewie2k Don't start matches in NA if it's not at least 10 AM

2021-10-07 12:18

It was 5 pm for NA, so the guy probably took a nap or something.

2021-10-07 15:43

Bro check this tweet and you will understand my context twitter.com/stewie/status/13084296384068..

2021-10-07 16:11

And I thought I fucked up when I almost slept through my exam. I feel for the guy tho. He will be mocked for the rest of his career for this.

2021-10-07 13:54

what career?

2021-10-07 14:52

Stew - that's my boy

2021-10-07 14:00

2021-10-07 16:38

this is actually fucking crazy

2021-10-07 17:01

HAHAHAH

2021-10-07 18:47

That's the most NA thing that could've happened right? A player slept over the match? Like wth, it's your job, you are being paid for it. Good for EG because with the game they've played lately they could lose to anybody, and honestly I thought they were going to lose this one, they are really lucky. Btw who is this hate guy from Triumph? I've never heard about him and now I see him playing one of the biggest events of the year.

2021-10-07 22:59
