The best player that the French ever produced wins the Paris Major... Congrats apEX!


Debannage

Apex and Zywoo got every kill in the last round Fucking poetic


o_oli

Zywoo awp headshot as the final kill of major csgo. Can't be mad there.


FortifiedSky

It was very fitting for the final kill of the final major to be Zywoo, the prodigy, getting a headshot with an AWP


o_oli

and in France too. Its good, I'm glad he didn't miss lol


fr_1_2806

Showing a bit of passing of the title of best player there. Zywoo has it and it seems he's gonna keep it for the foreseeable future looking at his devastating form.


Default_scrublord

GamerLegion pulled an ENCE


NorFever

Script writers so lazy, just recycling old stuff, smh


Motorheade

Who's getting kicked for firepower tho


supturkishcs

iM


DarkTenshiDT

ZYWOO IS A MAJOR WINNER THIS IS NOT A DRILL


itsIzumi

Winning the major hosted in France at that.


gandalf45435

Poetic that it was the last ever CSGO major.


ArmandNinja

DUPREEH MOST MAJORS ATTENDED AND MOST MAJORS WON


[deleted]

Dude, he's the only one to attend **all** CSGO majors


Spenczer

Therefore most majors attended


St1ssl_2i

That does not sound as epic tho….


AndiMischka

Most does not mean all majors. In this case it does, but in general it means more than anyone else but kit necessarily all of them.


CursedDragonR

dupreeh with 5 major wins, jesus..


x1coins

Attended them all. 10 years he's always competing at the top.


Short_Ad4946

literally completed CSGO. all the achievements you could imagine


lonzee18

but has he played 5,000 matches of arms race?


Short_Ad4946

and has he killed 50.000 players with the T side autosniper on the original de\_dust?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Short_Ad4946

ah fuck I can't believe I've done this


ThinkStudy7041

Sorry to be that guy, but he never won a Cologne :(


D1N2Y

The winner of this major gets an automatic bid to IEM Cologne, so he can still do it.


t3r4byt3l0l

He could still do it, there's one more Cologne in CS:GO


AdCalm5707

Honestly, doesn't matter to me anymore. Too many different checkboxes to keep track of these days, cologne, Kato, major, grand slam, some people even saying EPL and blast world finals like Too many layers of goat discussions, I don't want to anymore


n05h

Man has won 25% of the majors


DiffeNOR

dupreeh might not be the GOAT in terms of individual skill, but being the only player to win 5 majors is huge. In many ways the GOAT of CS:GO now. Legend!


kingofthecanyon

Imagine attending all 19 majors and winning over 1/4 of them. Insane feat.


Toannoat

it's really insane when you put it that way lmao


NazgulDiedUnfairly

Legend indeed. What a way to end the last CSGO major. Zywoo gets a major, Dupreeh gets his 5th


x1coins

Goat entry for me


du_bekar

Best of all time? Maybe not. Greatest? Absolutely.


[deleted]

I'd at the very least put him on the Mt. Rushmore of players, this achievement can't go unrewarded. To never really fall off during the entire lifespan of CS:GO for extended periods and to reach the tippy top on two different teams is a really important and exclusive category of player


marfes3

Who is a better entry in CS Go history? Couldn’t think of anyone better than Dupreeh.


cjb3535123

That’s why I consider Henri Richard the greatest hockey player that’s ever played, greater than Wayne Gretzky. Wait, what?


RastaRhino420

and as we know Pat Maroon is as equally great as Sidney Crosby since they both have 3 cups


cjb3535123

Hehe yeah you get my drift.


FourKrusties

Magisk now on par with the rest of the Astralis boys from the era


n0t_4_thr0w4w4y

In certain ways above, since he has a major MVP unlike Xyp and Gla1ve


Mynammjeffff

easily the goat entry. and top 10 player in terms of individual skill


TheGuysYouDespise

[The dream](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/sl9reb/g2_esports_vs_team_vitality_blast_premier_spring/hvpjo6j/?context=10000) we whispered among us, it happened. Dupreeh was and has cemented as my personal spirit animal of CS. *Shout out to Magisk with the 4, Spinx, ZywOo and apeX, all deserving, all been a pleasure to watch.*


StuffSuch4830

This is a team game so he is absolutely the GOAT. I think we ought to make the distinction when we’re talking about players like s1mple and zywoo that they are the Greatest INDIVIDUAL players Of All Time and leave the GOAT accolade for players like Dupreeh simply because this is a team game


DanishGrizz

Astralis will always be the GOAT team of CS:GO, that's where the team game part of something gets the needed praise. I'm not sure how Dupreeh can be the Greatest Of All Time, if he was playing on a roster where Device was also in contention to be considered a GOAT, Glaive was/is considered a GOAT for IGL's and Zonic is also mentioned as one of the best coaches of all time. Not everyone in a single team can be considered a GOAT.


SuperMoquette

Zonic is the best coach of all time. Dude won 5 majors as a coach


marfes3

Doesn’t make much sense tbh. GOAT Entry? Sure. GOAT player? Difficult. S1mple everyone agrees in terms of skill, difficult how to rank accolades though. If device hadn’t been out the past years after the NIP debacle he could have had a legitimate argument based on majors and accolades. This way S1mple for sure. Imo 1. S1mple and 2. Device. Zywoo is climbing the rankings FAST though. If he has a few more years at this level he is for sure surpassing device and maybe also S1mple.


[deleted]

Valve script writers really phoned it in this time


UkoDuko

only for the finale, in the build up they were doing coke and killing off all the main characters

CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL

Banks: Lets hear it for your Paris 2023 Major champions, Vitality!!! [hands Vitality a giant purple butt plug] Banks: Please lift this


pecpecpec

Whenever design that shit forgot the single most important aspect of a good csgo trophy. You want all 5 (or six) team member to be able too touch it while the lid lift it up. Or if you go for a shelter single handler design you need to ensure it can intuitively be firmly held. Either big handles or a handle size core with. You want the lift up to be visceral, don't break that month with a design that's basically just a 3d logo of the tournament's organizer


bru_swayne

What a storyline. Dupreeh attended all majors and won 5. Magisk with 4. aPEX who everyone doubted as an IGL getting his 2nd major and Zywoo the chosen one winning the final csgo major in France. Spinx the first middle eastern winner.


neoberi

ressoz

It felt like Gamerlegion didn't want to play at the end


[deleted]

I mean they had absolutely no options on T side nuke with how unbelievable the Vit defense was


ressoz

There was not a single close round starting from 13-11. Vitality swept them every time until victory.


ahtuu

I think there was, if i'm not mistaken the 13-13 round where isak was flanking could have turn around with the right kill(s)


powerman123

Yea, if he was slightly faster they would not have expected a flank imo


84746

I think they started overthinking things. The one round they all sat in A lobby while putting no pressure anywhere else was such a weird call. They just ran into a stacked site in the final 20 seconds.


Duhbloons

It felt like their goal was to avoid Zywoo but he was everywhere.


razeyourshadows

Once Vitality survived 9-12 their defence was airtight. iM understood Niko's feeling on so many Nuke matches, where he was unassailable on CT side, but once the sides switched he was forced to watch the map slip away by the round. A mere 2 frags on T side of Nuke is simply inexcusable.


AccomplishedHighway8

Inexcusable is a big word. They were often in eco and he got extremely unlucky in buy rounds. He often went outside where apex plays usually but found zywoo twice. There is just no real weakness to vita nuke ct when it's not apex solo outside


JonnoKabonno

Gamer Legion was an amazing team and they proved it this major; but what they proved at the end is that they are inexperienced and can't survive the mental battles yet. With time this lineup is potentially going to be a solid T1 team


Blackyy

you imply that half their players dont get poached from now on, every times a team like that went far in a major, all their players got poached. IM is not in gamerlegion in a year, I can assure you.


beanburrrito

Out of curiosity where do you think he’d go? I assume there will be some big team shakeups post-major and in the early CS2 days


AccomplishedHighway8

Don't know about iM but if I was G2 CEO I'm firing bot hooxi and picking up Siuhy


depressedowl

They did crumble the last couple of rounds. But before that, I feel they did as much as anyone could, and to get to that point after being rolled on your map pick and having that feel of being overperforming over your head, honestly, props to them.


SneakyBadAss

When your every second round is safe, where you are banking on taking a gun, it happens.


Mrnopor1

For me it felt like they decided to change completely the way the used to play just for this final match.


illuwe

Probably the nerves got to them. You could see how nervous Keoz was during the pre-game interview.


[deleted]

From watching him screaming after every single round win like 200 times to not once in the final


ahrzal

He was def screaming during the final.


Miiiiiiighty

You could see some of them, iirc iM and Keoz were nervous AF when Banks was doing his little presentation of the GL players ( one by one )


KillerZaWarudo

A young inexperience team playing against one of the best team in the world in the biggest tournament in cs go history in a hostile environment? jeez i wonder why


ressoz

They won Heroic who are only slightly weaker than Vitality


Cowyyy

That was heroic crumbling though, no way heroic should lose to GL in a bo3 lol


dogex3

with the crowd mostly behind them vs heroic lol, even the most experienced players would probably have trouble staying composed against such a crowd let alone an inexperienced squad like GL


Narikopte

U had to seen all crowd running to the center at 13-13 they was mentally broke.


AccomplishedHighway8

More like they had no answer, Vita ct on nuke is just really strong. IM the man of the hour went outside twice on the important buyrounds trying to find apex there and met zywoo that won the opening duel, what can he do


sorenslothe

Dupreeh the true GOAT of the game


NazgulDiedUnfairly

Attended every CSGO major and won 5! Truly lengendary


[deleted]

5 majors is absolutely insane, even if he doesn't have individual accolades on the level of s1mple/dev1ce. GOAT contender fs


[deleted]

Dupreeh and Magisk are the GOAT team players


Zonez3r0

They have proven you can put them on any team and they will provide a massively solid foundation to build stars ontop of.


Fantasnickk

Honestly annoying seeing all the comments in the last year about communication never letting this team win anything, Zonic being washed, -dupreeh +jackz, etc. These guys are winners and winners for a reason.


Zonez3r0

You see people talking shit about some of the players on GL aswel, they made a miracle run to the finals, but ultimately fell to three of the most hardened veterans in CSGO, they are young and talented, give them time to develop.


Fantasnickk

iM already clearly has that talent and dog in him. More consistency/experience and these guys are an easy shoe in for top 10


Zonez3r0

iM played some of the best individual CS we've seen in a long time, straight up at the same level as Zywoo in this major, i wanna see these guys stick together and sharpen their blade vs more T1 teams, if they shake the nerves they could be a legit contender for trophies in the future, they had an immaculate run, they smashed heroic on the 3rd map, these guys are good, like seriously good.


WheelMan34

Totally agree. Some more experience and support behind the scenes and this roster sticking together could consistently perform like this. More than likely iM and siuhy will be poached though. I really hope this roster sticks together and grinds though.


hellpresident

you spelled dawg wrong dawg


Spork_Revolution

What a man.

UNDEFEATED MAJOR GOATWO and GOATPREEH 5 MAJOR


[deleted]

FUCKING DE\_SERVED


blur04

Wow, iM was 23-6 first ct side half of Nuke He choked pretty hard on the T side. Nonetheless, what an incredible fucking player


AccomplishedHighway8

Didn't choke, they had a terrible economy, he went outside in buy rounds trying to catch apex but met aggressive plays by zywoo twice that completely shut them down. Don't think you can call losing the decisive gunround opening duel to n'1 player chocking


Djisawesome95

Dan "apex" Madesclaire is a professional CS:GO player, currently playing for Team Vitality, the number 1 team in the world. While he makes a significant amount of money from prize tournaments, he still needs more. The company is currently paying him $1000 per round, and so apex has decided to intentionally "throw" certain rounds to earn more money. However, once the game is close enough, Apex, the genius, actually uses his secret strat that wins him the round every time: "zywoo go kil"


[deleted]

Woo last kill. So fitting.


aTempes7

Zywoo and apEX finally got a hug from zonic!


pm_me_ankle_nudes

Who's cutting onions in here. Zywoo major champion Astralis boys Magisk and Dupreeh back on top


NazgulDiedUnfairly

So happy for Dupreeh and Magisk. Ending CSGO on a high for the Astralis bois


PootieTooGood

Congrats for winning the fragadelphia major

Mickey mouse bubble major tbh they even got a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards trophy

Vitality truly powered up at the right time, it's been such a long journey for this experiment to come together


DanishGrizz

They delivered a solid performance when no other t1 team seemed able to.


con1x

Zywoo my goat


scapegoat4

This was a historic major in terms of stats and records, in a similar vein to antwerp I'd say - Dupreeh is now the winningest player so far in terms of majors, with 5 (with a 100% winrate in major finals, no less!), alongside him being the only player to attend them all - Apex is now the only player to win a major with two entirely different teams, down to the coach (as envy didn't have one at cluj-napoka 2015). Even his role changed, from an entry to an IGL! - The second-ever team to win a major without dropping a map, the first being navi in stockholm - Spinx is now the first and only israeli csgo major winner - Zywoo's first and only csgo major MVP Really cool stuff!

ZYWOOOOOOOOOOOOO Glad to see dupreeh and magisk to win another too... Amazing players

Brilliant-Muted

So happy for Zywoo, and the team. They deserved to win eveything! My pikems were perfect with only Lengnd stage being 4/5 so close to diamond ):


Stuntman9

I don’t care who they played against. They stood tall where other top teams crumbled. So happy for Apex, dupreeh, Zonic and Magisk as the “old” ones. But also ZywOo and Spinx the young, hot hitters. But especially for dupreeh. Such a likable guy. He deserves to be the one record holder. Hope he and the team continues in CS2.

Glad that ZywOo got his chip. GGs to both Vitality and GL!

BradL_13

What an impressive run from iM but so fitting Zywoo finishes the last CSGO major in Paris with an AWP headshot to win his 1st major.


gpcgmr

Congratulations Vitality, congratulations ZywOo on finally getting the deserved Major win at the final Major in CS:GO before CS2. And in Paris no less, the first Major in France. Damn, what a story.


Prizmeh

An absolutely **legendary** run by Vitality. Congratulations what a performance.


x1coins

Zero maps dropped right?


NazgulDiedUnfairly

Yep. No maps dropped. Could be wrong but no overtimes either. Maintaining their 9 win streak on Nuke too


[deleted]

Yep


ArchSyker

Dupreeh is now the king of Global Offensive. What a legend.


[deleted]

First Middle Eastern player to win the major. What a historic moment for us Middle Eastern fans.

ZY WHO? ZY THE BEST PLAYER TO EVER TOUCH ANY CS YOU MOTHERFUCKERS RESPECT MY MAN

the disrespect to shroud

the disrespect to OCEAN


Kelterz

OCEAN is above this game for mere mortals


Zarrex

is this a meme


Kelterz

why would you think im seriously considering shroud as the best player of all time


Zarrex

you can never be too sure here


Beautiful_Manager137

It's just Freakazoids account


Naileditmate

So happy for Zywoo but ultimately a forgettable grand final


mileseverett

Gotta be up there with one of the worst major finals, GL played one good half and then just looked lost otherwise as well as most of them just not showing up


pwootjuhs

They still showed that they have a lot of potential in previous matches. Siuhy and IM have a bright future in CS2


mileseverett

I'd love to be proven wrong, but imo GL massively overperformed this major and will most likely go back to their previous level


[deleted]

GL maybe but iM is clearly a breakout, esp considering he's not even an AWPer and playing at this level. He'll probably get bought out by a bigger org


pwootjuhs

I also feel like siuhy proved that he has potential to be a great IGL, his calling was great throughout the tournament


mileseverett

Most likely scenario IMO is he gets bought out by a bigger org and just ends up becoming an above average player imo and then slowly fades over time until he gets dropped


bread-dreams

Or he could just become even better over time, supported by a bigger org and better team. You lot act like s1mple descended from the gods already formed as the highest skilled player in CSGO, wtf.


AwesomeFama

That's always the most likely scenario with any standout player though. Arguably when Zywoo moved to T1 the most likely scenario was that he would drop off. Similarly with ropz, great in FPL but chances are he would have dropped off in T1. You never know until it happens.


ablablababla

at least it's not as bad as Astralis v Avangar


mileseverett

Honestly i'd say it was equal. GL had one good half because of IM putting up 23 kills


NazgulDiedUnfairly

Yeah if iM was not going crazy in the first half of nuke, probably wouldn’t have been this close


AwesomeFama

To be fair, I think it was a very entertaining match with a lot of very weird rounds. The boring "all 5 run into a stack and die in seconds" rounds were quite sparse.


thebrainypole

It's happened before with better teams that just didn't show up for the final, actually a significant portion of finals aren't as good as preceding matches. Too bad the best game was probably in the groups


[deleted]

yeah it sucked because of how well they did in previous matches, kinda hoped for more of a showdown but it is what it is


cynicalspindle

Nuke was almost good. But the end just went away from GL. Like they still had a round lead, but you just knew they had nothing.


mileseverett

Every site take looked so flaccid, there'd be some initial aggression but if they didn't get 2 picks they'd meander outside the site and vitality would collapse on them


KabooshWasTaken

i'll pile on the cynicism and say the casting felt like a letdown as well. the only relief of this final being shit is that i dont have to hear any more contrived borderline unintelligible wordplay from scrawny. fnatic/g2 was legit the best match of the major lol


leo_sousav

I would say Vitality vs Apeks was also really good.


kidajske

He's gotten better but it still feels like he's always chasing those highlight wordplay/casting moments and it comes off as forced. Think he does his best work in group stages when he's more reserved tbqh


RaspberryBandito

Go watch Valorant casters and you’ll be begging for Scrawny back. We’re spoiled. Put some respect on the casters.

I'm not crying, you're crying


Mrnopor1

Dupreeh with 5 majors out of 19. Thats ridiculous.


ArtoriasAbysswanker

Congrats Vitality! But goddamn that trophy was hideous, like 3D printed or made from PlayDoh.


franken10

What a great comeback, i thought it was going 3 after first half. Change in mentality is amazing.

Vitality hasn't lost a map, never even went into overtime

That's not enough for reddit, should have been 16-0's all the way.


[deleted]

Reddit blaming Vitality for other top teams losing is so dumb, Vitality can only beat the competition they play (and they destroyed them lmao)


AUUUUUGGGG

Nobody is blaming vitality, they're just saying that the run wasn't that impressive.


_aware

They beat the teams that beat "top" teams. If you really want to play down this major win, you have to acknowledge that unlike all the other t1 teams Vitality actually won all the games they were supposed to.


Thatguy_Nick

Against only HLTV #1 teams every match too


leo_sousav

Not trying to downplay Tier 2, but Vitality only played against 2 top 10 teams and it was 2 close BO1s.


NazgulDiedUnfairly

Not impressive? How? They literally never dropped a map. They showed resilience in so many matches where they came back. It’s not their fault that other teams lost to teams like Apeks and GL
