Damn man, should have been a 13-10 for Furia, that 3v2 post-plant is going to haunt their nightmares

Close, could have gone either way really

Not to be too controversial, but I think C9 might win here

stk cheering for that pancada clutch like he just saved his job lol

Wonder how the org will react if Loud actually go 0-4 in the first two matches against arguably the two easiest opponents

Loud are not a real team, they swing one by one, there's no support for one another
No surprise they're even losing rounds in which they have the advantage

Damn impressive out of 2G, but very worrying for Loud, especially if 2G don't just win the map, but the series

Daaaaamn, 2G are actually going to steal away Louds map pick after an 0-4 start, didn't see that one coming

Eh, at least the second map was a little more entertaining to watch, but it's pretty obvious neither team should play at this level

Looks like a pretty clean 2-0, SRG are just not good enough to keep up

Yeah, that wasn't even close, SRG just got completely run over

No chance for Loud today, just got outaimed on Bind

Unfortunate for a small-time org like Thieves, they could have really shown their skill here, but the massive favourite in Plug was just too strong in the end :/

I think alecks will legit have a heart attack before this match ends, just judging by his facial expressions

Ngl, did not see this potentially going to all three, but M80 are giving up so many advantages, they're practically inviting Galorys

Well, that's heartbreaking

Two ways to look at this: Insane throw by M80 (particularly the rounds at 6-2 and 11-6) or lukxo making an insane comeback possible for his team

Yeah, that was the implication here, winning this on Haven defense against Barca with all the momentum is gonna be brutally difficult

Same thing as yesterday against Apeks for CGN
5-1 start on Haven, lost a round they really shouldn't have, end the half 6-6

That 3v1 loss in the retake was an absolute neckbreaker for CGN, they're just a bit too slow for Barca, unfortunately

Yeeeah, but 2-5 to 6-6 at the same time...again
And attack should favour Apeks now

9-7, actually, Apeks won the second pistol plus conversion, CGN had to recover six straight

Good morale on Lotus, but I have a bad feeling the choke on Ascent will still cost them

A) CGN are going to lose 0-2
B) They should've won 2-0
C) They got no one to blame but themselves

What a sad day for DACH

Oh, I'm not trying to connect those two, I'm more saying the rounds just didn't look super-clean

Yeah, but they lost so many rifles even in the attack rounds they won and dropped a second eco at 7-8, really wasn't sure they'd actually come back until the last moment

True, true

Yeah, I'm still surprised lol

No idea how SEN pulled that comeback off, especially after dropping a couple ecos, but honestly, good on them
boaster needed to eat some humble pie anyway

Don't see SEN accomplishing anything in this match
The rounds they won were pretty close, the rounds they lost...really weren't, they just got absolutely dominated

It's wo0ts world and we're all just living in it

Odin is fucking MXS up bad every round, they just have absolutely no counter for it

Pretty sure the last four rounds of Ascent have broken Ludwig a little, I worry for this mans mental health, should MXS choke again lol

Yeah, uhm, about that

Mate, they won't even get to double digits, this match was decided after Sunset

Nice and easy 2-0, probably 13-10ish for G2

Realistically, this probably should have been a 2-0, with JJH leading 11-6 and 13-12 on Bind
More so a deserved loss for JJH, than Focus being overly impressive

I'll happily admit that I was wrong
Thought they looked pretty bad towards the end of the first half, but GX just fell apart once Heretics strung a couple rounds together

Naaaah, Heretics is just cold today, they're losing every aim duel, plus they look mentally broken
No way they bring this back, this is a 2-1 for GX

Called it, 8-4 half for GX and if they get the second pistol, it's virtually done

With how awful Heretics are looking, I'm saying there's no way they get more than seven or eight rounds, they're gonna lose the map by a clear margin

Wrong matchups, btw
It's IPGN vs Focus first and JJH vs Bobo afterwards, this match is not going to take place: https://x.com/LPL_GLOBAL/status/1808304729623048305

If Furia beat Loud, it would literally be a historic match
Ending a 25-0 win streak against Brazilian teams in VCT

Fucking great clutch from him, was it a 1v4?
And obviously by far the best player on the map either way

Yeah, credit where it's due, that was a great comeback

Damn! Didn't see that coming!
Unlucky for Furia, but pancada hardcarried for Loud and saadhak got better towards the last few rounds
Also, some really close ones, that defuse at 10-11 comes to mind, where the Furia defuser got spammed down in the 1v1 through the smoke, with about a second left

To give him some credit, he had some decent kills towards the end of the map
But at that point, they were already down

Unfortunately, there's also saadhak
Don't get me wrong, insane clutch by pancada, but they're still losing their own pick to Furia - decisively

And then a 2v4 Thrifty after Loud won the second pistol, the backbreaker

ggez for Furia on Haven, Loud never recovered from that 4v1
