Sinners not biggest heartbreak?

BNE HYPE

They seems to have forgotten to include Astralis in EU RMR section.

I guess it should be in : through but not convincingly.

2022-04-26 13:55

It's because Astralis performed as expected, Lost to teams above them and Beat the teams below them.

A bit less than expected. I was not really pretty the heet game. But overall, yes .

Yeah, they could definitely be put in the unconvincing category because of the game against HEET.

2022-04-26 14:00

We will probably touch on teams not on the list too :)

2022-04-26 14:30

no mad lions in recent news?

2022-04-26 15:36

:(((( fk

2022-04-26 17:08

"Favorites deliver: NAVI, Heroic, FaZe, C9, NIP - Through but unconvincing: G2" G2 and NIP went 3-1, nip lost bo3 and G2 lost bo1

2022-04-26 14:14

hmm, somewhat fair

NIP won 4 games at the end and level of opponents was slightly higher.

2022-04-26 14:57

G2 result may have been convincing, but the way they won some of the matches definitely wasn't

G2's win over Astralis in the 2-1 series should be considered as well. That was a poor performance. NiP had a new roster and it seems like not even the players know what will happen next.

2022-04-26 16:43

G2 almost lost to astralis that's why it was unconvincing, if astralis didn't choke harder than g2 they would have either been 3-2 or 2-3 and not make it to the major

2022-04-27 05:52

Biggest hearthbreak: Sinners

2022-04-26 14:15

SAW , the noscope legging jame 0.1 defuse to deny going to the major sinners were just met with opposition that wanted to go to the major more thats all

2022-04-26 14:23

Sinners were up 14-11 on the third map and they ended up losing 14-16

2022-04-26 15:13

And saw were up 14-10 on the third map

2022-04-26 16:15

For me, it was heet. So close, 2 rounds and astralis won't be at the major.

2022-04-26 14:24

+1 I've been watching the HEET guys for a while. That ancient game felt like a bullet straight to the heart

2022-04-26 17:10

Sinners, Saw and Anonymo. So close for those 3 teams to get to the major. I miss innocent because I used to be PENTA fan, supporting them hard and seeing players of Penta failing to achieve big stuff makes me sad.

2022-04-26 15:08

Sad, nothing about Furia :(

2022-04-26 14:27

Why TF would they speak about Furia when they covered that RMR in the latest episode? Why would anyone watch their show it hey just revisited their old talking points and repeated them over and over again? youtu.be/w6q_jeFG6I4

HLTV Peek (Striker/Prof): - The release implied different presenters. Can you elaborate on the goals and plans with HLTV? - Going deeper on the question above: any ideas you had but shelved over the years you can share? - HLTV seems like a great site. Are there sites you get inspiration from for other esports? Things you’d love to implement? Major (if there isn't another show before the major) - Like me, there'll be a lot of new major visitors come may. What is or should be the live viewer etiquette? Major talent: - Any insights into this process? Seems like a stressful period that can cause animosity between talent or am I wrong? Thank you for taking my question last time :) Oh, and I'm +1 for the idea of the open-to-the-public HLTV Confirmed idea for the major

- Exceeding expectations: CPH Flames, BIG BIG, yes, i thought they'D go through but probably 3-2 or so... but tbh CPH Falmes is fucking OP on LAN, that one was expected

2022-04-26 15:11

considering their performance in the events after the last major i'd say that wasn't that expected. i expected them to qualify but not in the 3-0 fashion

liquid win the major confirmed check hltv

boring bait

2022-04-27 01:26

ef wasnt underdog

Why no Sinners in Biggest heartbreak?

2022-04-26 15:59

you mean only saw

2022-04-27 01:27

sinners, saw, heet all of them are big heartbreaks..

2022-04-27 03:44

Is device back on NiP for BLAST?

2022-04-26 16:25

HEET is the biggest heartbreak ... :(

2022-04-26 16:30

NiP should probably be in the surprising group

Always when BIG topics come hltv confirmed "yeah big" and then the topic is over. Let's see if it is the same today

2022-04-26 16:58

It was the same, they didnt even talked about it

2022-04-27 00:30

Biggest heartbreak was Dignitas and EG : (

2022-04-26 17:22

3 replies

Dignitas was not a disappointment. They wouldn't have made it to the major anyway. They are just 5 players near retirement. If you're looking for a disappointment, it's fnatic. its about here the awesome comeback of Eternal Fire (13-10 in overpass Xfloud's 1v2 clutch and comeback) And xantares factor.. (not onlinetares)

2022-04-26 17:36

noobgnitas

2022-04-27 01:30

Those heartbreaksh aooened when the rosters were signed, not when they performed as expected

2022-04-27 12:21

BNE hype!

2022-04-26 19:34

Win vs ASG and Sinners and go to major easily xD Nice fixture in RMR B group -_- Eternal Fire needed to beat fnatic, OG, dignitas to go to major :D

2022-04-26 21:31

Of course, saw is biggest heartbreak. Major was two pixel AND 0.1 second away, unscop a little bit higher... As a french, heet was also a heartbreak, 2 rounds away on ancient

2022-04-27 01:04

but major feels weird without astralis tho... sorry for your loss man

2022-04-27 01:31

You are right, i am still glad for legend Astralis :) Major wouldnt be the same without the goat team. Hope they will do well, we need them to keep this game alive !
