Spirit and FaZe pick up wins as day 1 comes to an end

donk and company are now one win away from the Major playoffs.

donk put up a 2.17 rating against Imperial

Spirit and FaZe ended the first day of action at PGL Major Copenhagen with their respective wins against the Brazilian duo of Imperial and FURIA. The action in Copenhagen is set to resume on Saturday with the 1-1 bracket matches opening the day.

FaZe met FURIA in the 0-1 pool, with the match taking place on Ancient. The first half was a back-and-forth affair, where FURIA ran away to a 5-2 lead before FaZe ground back to a 6-6 half. The European combine was unconvincing at times, but did enough to give themselves a chance in the match.

The second half was an entirely different affair, as FaZe ran rampant and won all but one round on their way to a 13-7 victory. Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool provided the highlight of the match with a crisp 1vs4 clutch that proved to be the final nail in the coffin for FURIA, who are now just one loss away from elimination.

Ropz going godmode and saving Faze's ass as always. I don't care who wins this major just pls don't be Spirit, this team is so unlikeable, not as much as in Katowice since it seems donk learned not to scream like possessed, but still unlikeable imo.

-1 L comment They are far from my favorite team there but you're just being a gratuitous hater. Donk is a kid and everyone says he's nice whatever screaming there was. Zont1x is just a chill based god. Chopper is a hard working perseverent leader. Sh1ro is reserved and introverted but professional. Magixx is quite young but a cool dude always up for interviews. And even though I'm rooting for other teams above them, if they keep playing this CS which is beautiful and crisp, then they deserve to win.

"Donk is a kid and everyone says he's nice whatever screaming there was" ye just yelling "c#cksuckers" "I pissed on you" etc but I guess this is "whatever" for you, but if you didn't noticed I praised him a bit for improving during this event, maybe he grows out of it, but as of now he is still unlikeable as hell to me with rest of the Spirit. Also calling sh1ro "reserved and introverted but professional" you are clearly biased fanboy. We all saw how reserved and professional sh1ro diva is with his mid match crying and complaining when he was in Cloud9, literally crying his way out to bench and Cloud9 to sell him. If you call this "proffesional" your opinion sadly holds little value to me. Have a wonderful day.

Yes let's take minuscule and punctual facts and build them up to a big narrative. Thanks for your anecdotes

Delusional fanboy denying the truth, that sh1ro was behaving like diva and cried his way out of a team and fact that donk was swearing and yelling so much ESL literally fined Spirit mid tournament in Katowice for trashtalking, but it's "whatever", sleep well and enjoy your fantasies.

i dont think you know what anecdote means. so now i have the opportunity to ask. do you use words that you dont understand to try to make yourself look smart when you know you arent? or is there some other reason?

Oh dear. An ad hominem attack. I'll give you an example of an anecdote: it would be, for instance, to single out an individual's behavior at a punctual occasion without contextualizing it (read here: shit talk during a competitive event, which is far from uncommon) -- and to hold that as the main testament to someone's character by disregarding all the interviews and accounts of people that actually know them or have interacted with them and have spent time with them both IRL and online -- which most people with coherent though process would take as a more robust dataset if trying to assess a tricky metric like "character". But of course salty eurobetas would go "he was mean once boohoo bad"

Spirit (read donk) trashtalked so much, they got fined by ESL for swearing, Spirit themselfs admitted it in their vlog. I am glad ESL admins and management have same opinion as I do. You should not talk about someones flag when you are afraid to show your no flagger boy.

Player of the match should be ropz instead of broky, Team Spirit too good for Imperial, even after the match decenty and his team were sarcastically smiling.
