disappointing losses from Cloud9.. lots of people were expecting a good performance from them with their 1 month bootcamp. I can't imagine the feels going on with the Cloud9 players right now with all the work they've put in for this recently.

FanofAngelsmustardoverlordFanofAngelsAll these nuke matches though. Why on earth did Ibp let dignitas play this and have CT side. Just asking to lose.
because the veto system for majors is retarded, each team bans twice and then valve randomly selects a map out of the three left lolYeah but dignitas is a super heavy CT team, and Nuke is the most CT sided map. Besides Cobble/overpass nuke should be one of their first vetos vs them.

look at what u just said

after cobble/overpass nuke should be their next veto

they have 2 vetos

they veto cobble/overpass

FanofAngelsDignitas would have veto'd one of those. Most teams would rather play a slightly uncomfortable map than to play the others strong one.

dignitas is slightly uncomfortable on overpass/cobblestone, but they probably knew that ibp was bad on both so why would dig veto either? they probably vetoed dust2 (every NA teams dream map) and some other map that they wouldnt want to play ibp on, not waste one of their vetoes on a map that ibp likes less than they do.

No surprise with IBP making the worst decision of AZK, Ska, and Swag's career. Like at least wait until AFTER DHW. But C9 is disappointing.

Too bad he is burning all his bridges, maybe he'll get in a good team in 5 years when next generation players step up.

idk about cobble but dignitas is really good at overpass, plus they prolly had a lot more time to prac both because ibp has only been in europe for a lil bit and because theyre retards who cut their igl

Got a souvenir case, saw it was dropping fast on the market to sell it. Opened it, MP9.

I'll keep dreaming for a good skin, but at least the stickers are shiny.

It's probably because it's just group stages at the moment.

Anyone have pictures of the size of the event or the place they are playing and how many are expected?

There was almost 23000 visitors last year. I'm not sure how many of them watched CS on the main stage, but it was quite a lot of people. (finals was NiP vs Fnatic, so I guess it attracted many people)

I'm not so confident about NiP's chances if esc gave them this much of a problem. Maybe they'll learn their lesson and not play cache. Or maybe they'll play more like the first half instead of the second.

ESC looks so defeated in the background. They were just sitting there. Not saying a word. Poor ESC.

Those rooms are the Group B and D areas, A and C are in an arena.

Thank god I passed out after dinner and didn't watch the NiP v ESC game. I think the grease + stress woulda killed me. Also I didn't want to see LDLC v Fnatic play just yet :/

Hope LDLC drops fnatic out of the game.
HR v NiP will either be a steam roll (If HR on fire) or quite close (HR not on fire).
Virtus ez semi spot.
NaVi - Diggy depends heavily on maps. The random draw could easily decide the match.
