Faze have gone 0-3 and have been dumped out of the Major in Rio, after winning the last major in style

Yep they are going to regret having allowed Vertigo to be played.

Some great matches so far, and looking like plenty of excitement left to come.

I can't understand why Karrigan didn't ban Vertigo when it's their permaban, maybe thought BNE would be a walk over?

Still amazed they threw away a 15-8 lead on Mirage!

My pickems are hanging on by a thread now haha, especially with Sprout beating NiP last night too :cry:

Yeah that's going to be good fun!

Hopefully they pick some good maps for it!

Isn't it just 1 map? I could be mistaken!

More than likely!

The dream is they bring back a classic map like Cobblestone!

Who are we thinking for the champions bracket?

Armageus · 9 Nov 2022 at 11:35

I think it will be Cloud9 and Navi for the final

Megahurtz400 · 9 Nov 2022 at 12:07

My pickems below!

Missed out by 1 in the previous stage, big thanks to Faze and Navi for that one, so no Diamond coin for me

Really not sure how this will play out, whole event has been so upside down that I wouldn't want to bet actual money on this!

Epoch · 9 Nov 2022 at 12:32

I currently have the same as you @Megahurtz400 except NaVi to win and I'm not confident in my choice. Theres been so many upsets so far this tournament anything could happen.

For me Navi haven't been firing on all cylinders, while Sh1r0 and Ax1le from c9 have been putting up some crazy stats!

Cloud9 do love to choke in big moments though, so who knows!

Cloud9 in really good form!

I'm hoping fnatic can cause an upset, seeing as they have that sole UK representation that is so rare to find on tier 1 CS.

Guess who changed their pickem from Navi to c9.

I saw a number of other people also backing C9 and figured it was probably the best choice. Who knows, navi could lose as well so wouldnt have mattered either way. At least its an interesting tournament with all the upsets I suppose.

Megahurtz400 · 1 Dec 2022 at 13:34

Well seems Rio killed any interest people had in it pretty early on, was pretty flat with Outsiders winning it and no real big names in the final!

Has anyone been to a live CS LAN? Thinking of getting tickets to IEM Cologne as looks like it could be a fun weekend away

MatteRB26 · 10 Dec 2022 at 07:46

I recently learnt about the AWP nerf...

Another reason I don't wanna play anymore

I only dip in and out of CS but they only reduced the mag size right? It’s a bit annoying but probably won’t do much. Will make it hard to get awp aces though!

Has anyone played much of anubis? I have it on my rotation of maps on faceit but I've only got a game on it the one time so far. I think it's a map i could really enjoy. No loss either way as i didn't like train.

I've been to Dreamhack London and another that I can't recall the name of in London. Really good. Players all were happy to take pictures and hang out.
