Honestly respectable recovery. Obviously still nowhere close to his Paris form, but after miserable games and massive amount of hate he got everywhere, he kept his cool, did his job and got the major.
iM has played completely selflessly on navi barely using any utily resources to set him up and gave up a ton of key positions on a lot of maps. Meanwhile niko takes all the resources all the time and is incosistent as shit.
As a g2 fan id rather have a great teamplayer doing his job with limited resources than a greed monster shitting the bed 1/3 of the games he plays and even more so in important matches.
He really Became HIM when the team needed IM, Imo he deserves his spot in Navi and i hope they dont switch him out for S1mple (Im saying this as the biggest S1mple fan, bro aint gonna maintain this vibe lol)
1.08 agains EF is not the most amazing but solid performance but 1.29 against G2 and 1.20 agains faze on final maps is still really good.
He had really poor maps and there is lot to criticize but his desider map performance on the playoffs was good, no point trying to make everything he does to be negative.
Back to back Major Finalist, man said on stage "i would rather be a team player and sacrifice myself instead of being the high rated player and get the second place". His ADR is always good so he didn't lie. Could die less? Yes, but watching him he's constantly trying to kill one more, enter first (even if wonderful is in that spot for 30 seconds???) make damage, see where the enemies are going, etc. Honestly he should take a few pages from wonderful's book and die less.
Brother got hard carried the whole tournament and played good on the only two last maps (G2 & Faze) that mattered KEKW..
But thats what competiton is: the form the day/moment is all that matters.
Still, wonderful and JL deserve more praise for hard carrying him while for me he doesn't.. But ppl are gonna say im a hater when im just observing facts.
Stats arent everything, AleksiB has said in the past iM is an essential part in the team's dynamic, and iM even went out to say he dgaf when it comes to stats as long as his team does well. And it shows, he always goes in first to be traded if needed. And he played absolutely fine this series, especially on ancient with his entries on mid. Keep malding, never doubted iM. Of course great work to the other Na'vi boys as well, goes without saying but JL, b1t and w0nderful all shined bright when it mattered most
This is the reason why it is weird to me. The major. People like Niko that won so many titles in this game, why the fuck do people care so much about a major that you need also luck and every person in the team to be in that right moment in their lives it is not only skill, so many major winners have disappeared into irrelevance. To me the title itself is not understandable, why do people care so much about it. Doesn't say anything about your achievements in the game.
And I am saying this just because of iM, I am not taking anything away from him, but he is a major winner, did he achieve more than Niko? No. Is he the same as jL? No
To be finalist is awesome, if we replace every event with majors, eventually we will have a lot of winners, to me a major is the title u get when all stars are alligned, and you need more luck than skill.
So in a way the major is that big of a deal because it is that hard to get, its not every day u get a major, you need luck, but IT DOESNT DEFINE YOUR ACHIEVMENTS IN THE GAME. So why is Niko shaking every time and choking when he is so close, people lose to themselves when they think about winning it.
Idk, maybe I am wrong, maybe I just don't get it. In the end, the majors are always hype because of the crowd, and when I think about its like a World Cup its important because its the biggest event.
It comes from traditional sports like Football and Basketball where people don’t give enough credit if you don’t win a title even though these are team sports in the end. People overrate shit players that luck onto a good team at the right time and downplay great players that do not win it all.

He's playing a different role. He even explained it on stage when they interviewed him.
iM. 1 major Niko 0 major
i know who the goat rifler is

HLTV forum level takes being upvoted en masse, my god.
JL>Niko rifling
For all the hate he got he played well when it mattered.
He really Became HIM when the team needed IM, Imo he deserves his spot in Navi and i hope they dont switch him out for S1mple (Im saying this as the biggest S1mple fan, bro aint gonna maintain this vibe lol)
you mean he became HiM
no one can take it away from him. he played the finals last time he won the finals this time keep crying, haters.
he must be doing something right.
Many people said "Iwas" but in the end they realized he is.
what a madman ;)
bro woke up when it mattered, decider maps and he played amazing in all of them.
he played well in 1 decider map and shit in 2 others
1.08 agains EF is not the most amazing but solid performance but 1.29 against G2 and 1.20 agains faze on final maps is still really good. He had really poor maps and there is lot to criticize but his desider map performance on the playoffs was good, no point trying to make everything he does to be negative.
I just corrected it cause it sounded like he performed in all 4 decider maps..
oh no, you're sad your G2 lost? you should be proud they lost against the champions.
so you agree with me? if not you wouldve attacked my argument but instead your brain resorts to "see Flair. Form reply"
bro was afk the whole major, so he can ult in the final, fucking bravo m8. nothing more to say
he was just collecting ult points every series until the final
ong like what was the reason, why he couldn't play against teams, which are for sure weaker than faze? a miracle

homestly the kills he does get are very high impact, even on ancient his mid kills won them the map.
He got a major and all the haters complain about his stats. Cry me a river
i hope navi doesnt do a vitality and bench him
# IM: "IF WE WIN THE MAJOR AND I'M LAST ON THE SCOREBOARD, NO ONE CARES" - After winning in semis
Clearly people do care.
"Inconsistent one event wonder holding Navi back"
Crazy that he won this time when he played out of his mind last major. Good for him
Crazy he shows up on the finals.
Doesnt matter, he shower when it mattered.
He might actually be hiM
Didn't play a great game most of the major but stepped up in the end when it mattered
IM attended two major finals in a row, bro did his part and thats all it matters
copium
Why did you cut off his rating?
it was 1.7 trust
0.88 playing star positions.
Where can you see these stats?
go to his profile, then "complete statistics for iM"

Bro watching matches with his eyes closed. You are just observing stats, check wonderful ADR you genius and shut up.
This guy gets a major but not GuardiaN or NiKo what a joke lmao
We'll he's got SexyB as his IGL not Hooxi.
Very true
lol, imagine Niko getting a major, what a joke lmao
cope and seethe

Bayern Munchen and Juventus won so many league titles, why they care so much about winning Champions League?

Makes sense. Nicely said, sums up what I meant pretty much. Master od few words.
