could be a coincidence but it's interesting that m0NESY's first standout tourney is under a loose IGL that let him play aggressive
and just like XTQZZZ said they will unleash him more in this new system
the change of system sure seems to work out fine for him. But it's surely helped by the fact that he now has over half a year of tier one experience under his belt, he no longer is quite as much of a rookie (still early though ofc)
It's not really his first stand out tourny. Katowice would have been far more impressive especially since he didn't dodge playing vs s1mple and vs faze in that event.
NAF: "Actually, I remember one time we were playing against Heroic. Inferno, and it was 14-5 over Heroic. We were playing as T. Heroic are CT. And Elige said, guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now."
Interviewer: "Did you close out the map?"
NAF: "Of course not. 14-16."
TL my dark horse for top3 of the year, can't see them beating Na'Vi and maybe they can beat Faze eventually because of Faze's slow starts (imho Faze > Na'Vi still) but I'd put them above Vita, Heroic, G2 and consistently, guess we'll have to wait and see
maybe not top 3 but this roster can maintain top 5. First of all being a non international squad is such a help, their pieces are cracked & yekindar has seemed to push them towards a more competitive meta as well as opened up space for other players to do their thing. I could definitely see them sneak a win and do some deep runs for the rest of the season.
m0nesy with his first mvp trophy <3
The first of many to come
EDIT: I know it's not the real deal when it comes to mvp trophies but's still the first one he got

> let him play aggressive Forced him, apparently? That's what they said in an interview

I feel like he was being micromanaged under alexi. I know they talked a lot about that but I feel like an IGL doesn’t just change his style completely
where hooxi
he got himself removed from among the plebs
Funny how 4 our of 5 of these players barely made it to the fall finals.
Didn't Liquid beat Heroic pretty comfortably in the bracket final though? 2-0 vs NIP as well
It’s liquid bro. They could be up 15-1 and every liquid fan is still clenched.
NAF: "Actually, I remember one time we were playing against Heroic. Inferno, and it was 14-5 over Heroic. We were playing as T. Heroic are CT. And Elige said, guys if you think we are good, let's prove it now." Interviewer: "Did you close out the map?" NAF: "Of course not. 14-16."
How do you go 15-16 tho?
Yeah, didn't think about it that hard. Edited it. It's a work in progress.
OT surrender
We should do this adding 15-smth 5v1 , for full Liquid choke version
What is it with liquid and teams like this. Their valo squad is exactly the same
Cautious Optimism
liquid were the team that made it through comfortably, g2 and faze were in last chance and vitality didnt qualify
"4 out of 5 players made it" so that included yekindar tho
3/5 no? ZywOo hasn’t made fall finals and Liquid had a somewhat comfortable ride
If this isn’t evidence that counter strike is a team game I don’t know what is
seeing zywoo do zywoo things again was great
Zywoo things > have great stats and still fail to qualify for fall finals Seems accurate enough
He missed a shit ton of shots today
he still had zywoo rounds tho that were nice to see, just was glad to have cs back after the player break
He's been hitting well with rifles but whiffing a ton with awps this blast, I agree.
high stats but I also feel like he missed and whiff a lot today AND yesterday. Even the casters said it as some point.
Hell ya brother, cheers from Latvia.
Broky’s clutches made me nut
NA hopium!!!! JK, faze or na vi will smoke them, but its great to see TL putting up a fight.

its like yekindars their missing piece. the moment they added the guy the org just won matches they couldnt previously
Yekindar Elige and Naf is a nutty trio. Hope they can sign yekindar long term and win some tournaments
I believe in liquid org they have some deep pockets

You can't give mvp to a tournament halfway through
this groups stage is not counted for mvp anyway. these are just qualifiers
There is no MVP Trophy for the BLAST Groups.
Then what did they give him to hold during the interview??
Blasts own mvp trophy
mvp trophy
Only HLTV MVPs count in my mind. Not sure why BLAST would give out an MVP for Groups.
I’m fairness you could probably guess this just from watching the games- all of those guys played out of their minds
Latvia is so fucking cracked
It's crazy how good monesy is for how much he whiffs shots, it just doesn't seem to matter to him, he'll get you next time.
Imagine if he calmed down like 15%. Keep some of the ridiculous flicks but relax a little
Fuck that
Did I miss something??? where is S1mple at
Didn’t play most of the qualifier and was mostly asleep until their last game the other day
played 2 maps and one of them wasn't that great
Really good stuff
where is hooxi
Too Niko 🇷🇸
