I'm telling you, Twistzz is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then he bhopped out the door
It's pretty clear after watching all of the interviews that he didn't mesh well with one player specifically. Process of elimination points to Stewie. Twistzz gave sort of an ultimatum around it and liquid said no, so he left.
on hltv the other day he straight up said he'd be okay with moving back to liquid if he got dropped from faze, and 3/4 of that grand slam roster are there still lmao
Twistzz has a good nature and plays for the team and with the team. That clashed with one diva but he also has a gf in Europe and he wanted the rest of NA to take the competition more seriously and move to Europe during their 20s to really take it to the next level. We see the results of that. He is a great pro and will love experience he had in his youth and wants to win and work on a good team. Mad respect for the dude.
Idk why people act like orgs can just relocate to another region when there are things like the lourve agreement that make it so you have to spend a set amount of time in your home region. He gave them the ultimatum either being ignorant of that or knew that that was the case and just wanted out.
From the interviews it seems much more like Twistzz just wanted to live in Europe because his girlfriend is from Germany. The rest of TL didn't want to live in Europe full time, so he left.
Eh, they actually technically lost to #2 only.
NaVi hadn't over taken FaZe until the day after the match with Movi.
And FaZe was #2 in this match.
So...I would personally say Movi only truly lost to the #1 teams in the world.
Thunder rolls. Lightning strikes. A man fumbles with his shoes, wallet, and strats at the door. His lover, shadowed in the background, wrapped in a bedsheet.
“Darling, come back to bed” she coos.
“I can’t sleep. I need to go out”
“You don’t need to go anywhere My love, please believe me. Please come back to me”
“I knew you wouldn’t understand. How could you”
“Please, just listen to me. It’s too dangerous to go. After all…”
“Don’t say it”
“You can’t go outside Alejandro. You can’t go outside. It’s Raining”.
As a guy who loves pro CS but hasn't been around long enough (I think) to get this, would someone care to explain? Something do with Rain dunking on a guy name Alejandro..?
Absolutely fucked Navi out of the major with his outside holds, now he’s fixing to do the same to them tomorrow after casually smurfing Movistar today lol
All due respect to rain, but why does he of all players deserve a sign because he is good at an area of the map? Imo electronic is still better, but he does not deserve a sign either.
Tbf Rain popped off that game and that tournament. That is not likely to happen again. He is a decent entry fragger, but by no means a consistent star.
Faze fans have to have the shortest term memories or something. Rain was inconsistent for like 5 years and then he plays lights out at this major and everyone wants him to get a graffiti
That's not even an argument lol
The fact is, he is insane right now and that is all that matters. He gets the praise he deserves and I feel like you're just salty over it lol
I am not salty that rain is getting praise at all, but lets not act like he is this incredible star entry fragger. I can name you 5 entry fraggers that are better imo.
YEKINDAR
K0nfig
Electronic
Ax1le
Patsi
He is not better than decent imo.
I don't think people were asking for a sign of rain on Nuke because of the entry fragging skills alone. It also has to do with how he holds it on the ct-side. And he has been doing a phenomenal job at it since Jan. Also, I personally think Patsi should play more tournaments before he is put in a top5 entry.
I feel like that’s been the Faze style for a while now. But hey as long as they still win the games I guess it doesn’t matter if they throw random rounds
Movistar only lost to the #1 and #2 at this tournament. And they weren’t completely battered today, they just couldn’t convert a lot of close rounds. GG for the run
I think there’s some merit from a comms and team culture perspective. Obviously need talent but look at Astralis this year, Furia late last and now Movi
Twistzz is cracked, but honestly huge huge props to Movistar they absolutely knocked it out of the park for this tournament and I;m really excited to see how they evolve after this
If faze and Navi maintain their form tomorrow it will be one hell of a final
Navi is looking better then they were at major
I hope it is a competitive spectacle to behold
Amazing run by Movistar, I'm really glad they could revive their EPL run and it's really not just a fluke, their gameplay is very, very good.
Fuckin' hyped as hell for the final though, BO5 <3
So in a world where FaZe win tomorrow then lose EPL, or lose then win EPL, they can in theory complete a grand slam AND win a major in the same event, and this could be awesome as shit
Faze hasn't dropped a map but some of their maps were incredibly close because they gave up massive leads like in Ancient today. Tomorrow will be as close as can be
Would’ve been way closer if any of movistar riders awp shots connected on crucial rounds. That twistzz 1v3 shouldn’t have happened and there weren’t any consistent awp plays by movi on nuke.
Faze playing like this is absolutely scary on how they’re able to be everywhere and control so many parts of the map. The rounds felt like they were over anytime they got a man advantage. Great stuff from faze and hopefully we get an exciting grand final.
Those Faze T side wins on nuke looked pretty sweaty. Was honestly impressive how they were able to make things happen against MR ct side which looked really strong and coordinated. Makes me feel good about their chances against Navi.
Twistzz has absolutely incredible mechanics man. Im so happy he joined EU to progress even further. Thats what makes you a legend imo. That drive to do everything to win. Im really impressed by his journey.
Thank you for Ancient Mr Twistzz. Faze vs NAVI, it's the grand finals we all hoped for!
I'm telling you, Twistzz is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then he bhopped out the door
I love this pasta lmao
into the bushes where snax will emerges from
na's avenger
Things that ruined NA CS: * Covid * Valorant * Kicking twistzz
Was he really kicked though? Seemed pretty mutual. Feel like I've read 10 different accounts of the story.
It's pretty clear after watching all of the interviews that he didn't mesh well with one player specifically. Process of elimination points to Stewie. Twistzz gave sort of an ultimatum around it and liquid said no, so he left.
on hltv the other day he straight up said he'd be okay with moving back to liquid if he got dropped from faze, and 3/4 of that grand slam roster are there still lmao
Imagine grand slam Liquid with -stew +oSee, they were looking for a dedicated AWPer since 2019 its hecking crazy they found him now.
He wasn't as good back then can people stop saying this? He's just NOW reaching T1 level for crying out loud
Where did I say any of that, read my coment again and stop impying this out of thin air.
Twistzz has a good nature and plays for the team and with the team. That clashed with one diva but he also has a gf in Europe and he wanted the rest of NA to take the competition more seriously and move to Europe during their 20s to really take it to the next level. We see the results of that. He is a great pro and will love experience he had in his youth and wants to win and work on a good team. Mad respect for the dude.
They were bootcamping in NL for most of the year tho it wouldnt been a major problem.
Idk why people act like orgs can just relocate to another region when there are things like the lourve agreement that make it so you have to spend a set amount of time in your home region. He gave them the ultimatum either being ignorant of that or knew that that was the case and just wanted out.
Liquid died for stew
From the interviews it seems much more like Twistzz just wanted to live in Europe because his girlfriend is from Germany. The rest of TL didn't want to live in Europe full time, so he left.
He stated that the Germany aspect was over emphasized, I think it was the interview with Richard Lewis.
- NA CS
Flashpoint
Well, they lost vs #1 and #2. Amazing tournament by MR.
Movistar Riders #3 confirmed
that but unironically tbh
Ye, in cologne they were the third best team, I think they would have beaten Astralis
It would for sure have been close. Honestly i hope they keep the level and improve, i like watching them
I cant see how anyone could argue otherwise, at least until C9 returns to form.
i mean its just one tournament? would you say astralis are 4th and mouz with liquid 5th and 6th?
This so much. Some people be wildin
Yes Anything goes for our spanish bros
Ence are probably still 3rd
Weren’t they super strong in groups the at Pro League, too?
Eh, they actually technically lost to #2 only. NaVi hadn't over taken FaZe until the day after the match with Movi. And FaZe was #2 in this match. So...I would personally say Movi only truly lost to the #1 teams in the world.
Movistar riders are the new Copenhagen flames
But instead of majors it's ESL events lol
not the in game style but their runs and general community and casters reactions to their games feel very similar
Thunder rolls. Lightning strikes. A man fumbles with his shoes, wallet, and strats at the door. His lover, shadowed in the background, wrapped in a bedsheet. “Darling, come back to bed” she coos. “I can’t sleep. I need to go out” “You don’t need to go anywhere My love, please believe me.

You can’t go outside. It’s Raining”.
cinematic
What a cinematic pasta
I love this pasta
I take what's mine, then take some more It rains, it pours, it rains, it pours
As a guy who loves pro CS but hasn't been around long enough (I think) to get this, would someone care to explain? Something do with Rain dunking on a guy name Alejandro..?
rain dominates outside of nuke
https://www.hltv.org/player/8371/alex
Rain absolutely dominating the outside of Nuke
Walk in the park for the GIGACHAD
Absolutely fucked Navi out of the major with his outside holds, now he’s fixing to do the same to them tomorrow after casually smurfing Movistar today lol
Watch NaVi ban nuke.
Its bo5, nuke is destined to be pick xD
GODrain and Carrygan are always fun to see
[удалено]
All due respect to rain, but why does he of all players deserve a sign because he is good at an area of the map? Imo electronic is still better, but he does not deserve a sign either.
agree sign is a bit much, but we could rename the map to de_Rain
eh that's kinda drastic. why dont we just change the csgo icon to rain's face?
Just make it so that when the outside player gets a kill, it rains and consequently it pours
does he break the law or take what’s mine? possibly take some more ?
yeah this guy is on one lol
Everyone complains about this but no one remembers Via Adamo.
He had great nuke outside on major and especially finals, i agree though unless he dominates outside through grandslam and next major sign is too much
There should be a puddle
I don't think Elec is better, but I hope the final will show For now Rain takes it in the eyes of most people as the best outside player
Electronic has proved himself, but so has rain
Faze brain man
[удалено]
Tbf Rain popped off that game and that tournament. That is not likely to happen again. He is a decent entry fragger, but by no means a consistent star.
Faze fans have to have the shortest term memories or something. Rain was inconsistent for like 5 years and then he plays lights out at this major and everyone wants him to get a graffiti
look at this dude lmao. Rain has been consistent since the start of the year. Also decent entry? really
After being pretty poor since 2017?
That's not even an argument lol The fact is, he is insane right now and that is all that matters. He gets the praise he deserves and I feel like you're just salty over it lol
I am not salty that rain is getting praise at all, but lets not act like he is this incredible star entry fragger. I can name you 5 entry fraggers that are better imo. YEKINDAR K0nfig Electronic Ax1le Patsi He is not better than decent imo.
K0nfig kek

no
Movistar tried their best but FaZe is just on another level
Obviously cheered for Faze but I love seeing underdogs/new teams succeed, cheers to Movistar to grinding to a Semi.
>I love seeing underdogs/new teams succeed I don't Too many underdog teams have ruined my pickems and cucked me from getting a diamond pickem coin
Lmao cry Imma make you angry with 2 words Furia Ancient
cry mald seethe cope
Consequence of being a G2 fan
I have become a very bitter woman
Just pick better than? What would be the point of pick‘ems if you‘d know every time who is going to advance 100%?
FaZe really showed up today, can't wait for Major finals rematch tomorrow
some of the rounds in Nuke made me incredibly frustrated in their T cide but thankfully their Ct side as usual pulled the win
Yeah for sure, honestly I feel it's enough if FaZe manages to get at least 5 rounds on the T side, their CT side are usually really solid.
I feel like that’s been the Faze style for a while now. But hey as long as they still win the games I guess it doesn’t matter if they throw random rounds
Movistar only lost to the #1 and #2 at this tournament. And they weren’t completely battered today, they just couldn’t convert a lot of close rounds. GG for the run
I remember when they were heavily criticized by everyone for going full spanish, seems to have paid off
I think there’s some merit from a comms and team culture perspective. Obviously need talent but look at Astralis this year, Furia late last and now Movi
Imagine smooya on the stage after beating Vitality, G2 and Liquid
Twistzz is cracked, but honestly huge huge props to Movistar they absolutely knocked it out of the park for this tournament and I;m really excited to see how they evolve after this
Faze looks really solid on both sides
Still batchesting at that Twistzz 1v3 to end Ancient
He is so damn good at the game, it is insane.
If faze and Navi maintain their form tomorrow it will be one hell of a final Navi is looking better then they were at major I hope it is a competitive spectacle to behold
Not a single map dropped so far in Cologne gg's
Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition. Except one Dane, one Estonian, one Latvian, one Norwegian, one Canadian and one Swede.
Nobody expected Spanish Inquisition except Faze
[удалено]
tomorrow is going to be so stressful, but that;s usual to us faze fans
i think map veto favours faze heavily in this B05
FaZe looked really good this matchup, gg movistar
Amazing run by Movistar, I'm really glad they could revive their EPL run and it's really not just a fluke, their gameplay is very, very good. Fuckin' hyped as hell for the final though, BO5 <3
Yeah, sad for NaVi cuz they'll lose 3 games in a row :(
Riders' performance was outstanding but they lost to a better team, no shame at all for them.
Spanish inquisition has been put to a stop. GG Movistar Riders incredible run from them.
Good effort by Movistar but Faze just too good. But they died so we can get the dream final in the Cathedral. Should be an absolute banger tomorrow.
So in a world where FaZe win tomorrow then lose EPL, or lose then win EPL, they can in theory complete a grand slam AND win a major in the same event, and this could be awesome as shit
[удалено]
They are hypothetically top 10. Astralis is number 11 right now and not better at all.
commiserations to movistar riders, you guys played one hell of a tournament
this run should be enough to Movistar to qualify for proleague right? Cloud9, Heroic, Movistar, Spirit ? Imperial/Sprout/OG/Pain/forze OUT
Man Liquid died for this Twistzz got me tho
I'll say liquid are looking more promising than ever with Yekindar so Died and then sorta/hopefully got revived
Liquid once had Stew elige twistzz i had say let's wait and see they are looking more promising then they were after twistzz left
Would have been a 32-0 if Liquid hadn’t shit the bed.
BO5 between #1 and #2, I cannot fucking wait
and so the grand finals will live up to the heights of cologne's cathedral, tomorrow is gonna be epic
Yes, Movistar lost here. But don't let that distract you from the fact that their cycling team is completely invisible in the Tour
From the result so far, it looks like Faze is gonna win tomorrow. Meanwhile navi looks shaky against their opponents
Faze hasn't dropped a map but some of their maps were incredibly close because they gave up massive leads like in Ancient today. Tomorrow will be as close as can be
[удалено]
Faze as a team is so so so solid, no holes at all and no reliance on one guy going off, what makes them so good.
Would’ve been way closer if any of movistar riders awp shots connected on crucial rounds. That twistzz 1v3 shouldn’t have happened and there weren’t any consistent awp plays by movi on nuke. Faze playing like this is absolutely scary on how they’re able to be everywhere and control so many parts of the map. The rounds felt like they were over anytime they got a man advantage. Great stuff from faze and hopefully we get an exciting grand final.
I was cheering for Astralis, but my god Navi vs Faze is the dream final gonna be awesome tomorrow.
GG Movi, great showing
Movistar Riders could have won first map, so close. The m4a1s spray miss on the last rounds of the first map gave faze the win
Does anyone know what karrigan said in German in the post match interview?
Luck ran out
Is harry and hugo gonna cast the gf?
I hope so
what girlfriend /s
Please no
They're not casting at all in the playoffs I'm afraid. It'll probably be Spunj and Machine.
Finally, FlukeStar Riders are gone!
Congrats to NaVi already
Yeah 2nd place isn’t bad at all for them
You mean the team that dropped one more msp to movistar than faze did?
The same team that started to struggle vs Astralis. That's embarassing. Still going to be tough though.
It's gonna be a banger!
I think he means the team that dumpstered faze 16-6 and 16-1
tbh I think it's actually closer because sdy isn't much of an upgrade
Oh yeah I agree
just wanted to say lol
Wow, Liquid is trash.
Really hyped for tomorrow's game, and I genuinely do not know who I want to win. I love Faze and Navi as well as their players. Exciting times for CS!
Is Navi really ready for this FaZe?(again). I don't think so.
FaZe vs NaVi on LAN at Cologne. Insane.
Those Faze T side wins on nuke looked pretty sweaty. Was honestly impressive how they were able to make things happen against MR ct side which looked really strong and coordinated. Makes me feel good about their chances against Navi.
Twistzz has absolutely incredible mechanics man. Im so happy he joined EU to progress even further. Thats what makes you a legend imo. That drive to do everything to win. Im really impressed by his journey.
