TL 2-1 SEN
T1 2-0 TRACE

even more bugs imo

xeus in contract jail
source: funny fat man

I don't understand
they are both 2-2, 5/5
so the tie breaker is round differential and not h2h?
does that mean JL didnt qual by 1 round?

SEN with N4RRATE would be unstoppable

Joblife about to smack everyone

its joever 100%

every team has been replacing their IGLs for someone that can shoot (even if the player in question has 0 IGL experience)
so now, if your IGL can't frag you can't win events
boaster had a time where he was playing quite well and even top fragged some maps, if he can get back to that form fnatic might have a chance

worst possible draw

he always does well on lan fsr

Munchkin wasnt IGL now he is doing just fine, Mako also
Just get some random player and make him IGL or just get one from a t2 team that can frag

derke cant use awp

fnatic need to cut boaster to win again

LEV overrated
favorites are GENG, G2, FNC

penalties again 🥱

rigged for england again
they will still lose first round tho

if PRX does not win this mickey mouse tournament, they should disband

and then miniboo has exams so patitek will replace him sometimes

Sentinels snowballed well on defense. Heretics were always playing retake and it was not working.
If Heretics had won second pistol maybe it would be different.

2 pistols + 4 clutches
sentinels bundle gave them max luck stat

Did you know that of 10 people who read a headline, only 2 will read the rest of the content?

Btw, this is the stupidest discussion I've ever had and I just want to sleep now
Sorry if I was too aggressive, I try to be nice all the time :)

I used the words "hype", and "like to watch" just in my first post. In the second, I explicitly say "entertainment value".
What did you think I was talking about seriously?

I obviously meant to say that it was the most entertaining, I honestly have no idea how you managed to misinterpret it

you can't make an objective argument for one game being more entertaining than another, it always depends on the individual and hence this discussion would be pointless
I am using my criteria to define what game is better to watch and so I prefer CS and RL (I don't even play RL but it is cool to watch)
your argument is just baseless since viewership does not immediately correlate to greater entertainment value

It is always an opinion, I just think I have better arguments

cricket is also bigger than american football...
more views != more entertaining

I am not talking about viewership, just the hype the tournaments bring (entertainment value)
You can say it is my opinion but I feel like CS is by far the most entertaining game to watch
You might have seen those videos of the CS crowds going crazy, it almost feels like a football match
The only other game I have watched that comes close is surprisingly Rocket League

CS will always be the better esport and it is not even close
Valorant, LoL tournaments just don't have the same hype as a CS major
tho I still like to watch Valorant (also because of the watch parties that make it less boring)

where is tenz

no

not a single USA player in the major (if Liquid wins)
even Portugal has 7 lmao

example from CS RMR
CS uses Buchholz system to select next matches but they can choose another way to do it like round diff

ye NA CS sucks
Elige can't carry COL

17 European teams
5 American teams
2 Asian teams

rito should use the same ratio

Madrid will be boring

FUT x Heretics is ez 26-0
GIANTX x KCORP is better

Scream and is not even close
