Highlights, discussions, esports, and more

This was the second last round of the last map of major final on Sunday

Counter-Strike.
Quick news rundown from today:

Fluffy Aimers (esports org) aren't paying anyone
Perseverance (esports league, tournament) is all sorts of fradulent, lies, etc
Multiple new Fragadelphia events announced for next year

Never a dull day in NA CS
Elimination stage pickems update:

Dumb ways to diiiiiiiiiie. So many dumb ways to die

So I'm on the Launders diet for playoff stage. YOLO.
Major recap day 7:

Breaking news: dead pickems did not come back to life. No one is surprised.

Liquid made it through to the main stage though!

Out of the matches tonight I think Na'vi have the most to prove. I think a lot of people had them as a favorite
Major Recap Day 6

Diamond coin dreams gone😭

Sad about Wildcard. I was all set to keep beating the vegan drum.

Cool to see Mongolz win 2 stages so handily. Two 3-0s in a row is crazy. "home team" buff is real.

Don't ask about fantasy. I have a lot to learn.
Major recap day 5:

Let's just say I made some mistakes on the pickems.

I'm just a bit nervous here.

I'm glad none of the teams I have going through are 0-2 at least!
My Pickems? Iunno. Sure. Yep.
Major recap day 4:

It is a sad day for Complexity. In some ways it's a sad day for North American Counter-Strike

But it is a happy day for Wildcard! Stanislaw came back from out of nowhere and put NA on his back!

Stanislaw power is VEGAN POWER! Plant POWER!
Major recap day 3:

I'm speechless.

I'm just gonna let this badly edited image speak for me.
Major recap day 2:

Pickems = EZ = Never didn't have it. = 😓😰😥

GG Rare Atom! I feel like I was saying that so much of the community putting them at 0-3 powered them up.

After tonight I just really hope COL make it. That's about it.

Fantasy's chalked. GG on that one
Major recap day 1:

NA covering all the bases, 2-0, 1-1, 0-2. COL pls.

All my 3-0 and 0-3 picks are on track which is cool. The rest of mine aren't.

Fantasy is chalked for this stage. COL pls.

Excited to see Flyquest doing well. YEAH THE BOYS!
Shoutout to Perfect World stream for giving me the chance to practice my Chinese while watching the CS2 major at the same time xD
I see the vision.

Do you feel my Pick'Ems?
I am ready for the stickers. Let me do my Pick'ems
Final RMR Recap:

Really glad for both the teams that made it through.

Passion UA for the Cinderella story.

Spirit because where would the major be without Donk?

I'm gonna miss the RMRs next year. Maybe 32 team majors will make up for it, but we'll have to see.
RMR Recap:

The 2-0 to 2-2 pipeline needs to be studied for Passion UA. Bo1 Merchants.

How are SPIRIT 2-2?! Glad to see G2 make it but wow.

Big congrats to Heroic, and big commiserations to EF. EF felt like they were on a hot streak on their way here.

The 2-2s bracket is 👨‍🍳😗
RMR Recap (that might be useless now?)

LETS GO 3DMAX LETS GO BIG 3-0 HOLY MOLY.
Astralis barely survive the 0-3, doesn't look good at all.
TSM convincingly beat B8 though.

2-1
PassionUA vs Heroic 🤩
G2 vs Spirit 🤯
Sashi vs VP

1-2
TSM vs NIP 😆
EF vs AST 🤯
9Pandas vs Aurora
EU B RMR Recap:

Holy upsets Batman! This group is already delivering.

Predictions
2-0
G2 vs 3DMax - G2. Hoping 3D still makes it
PassionUA vs BIG - PassionUA. Beat Spirit in the 1-0s. They got this.

0-2
Pari vs TSM - TSM. Pari lost to NIP. Cmon.
Ast vs B8 - Ast. Copium?
RMR Recap:

What an ending to group A.

As much as I'm sad to see Sinners fall at the finish line after such close Bo3s in 2-1 and 2-2, having Fnatic and Gamer Legion at the major is gonna be sweet.

Bit of a sigh of relief that Fnatic made it
RMR Recap:

Faze, C9, Na'vi in, with Faze taking 4th
Falcons, Nemiga, and Sangal out.

I think it's the worst news for Falcons, but they get Niko in 2025. Then what?

It was cool to see Sinners play C9 so close. I hope they make it in.

I'm kinda nervous about Fnatic.
3-0s and 0-3s from the second day of EU RMR A!

Vitality and Mouz going through feels like business as usual, but I was expecting Na'Vi in the 3-0.

Don't really know much about Unity or Rebels, always a shame to be eliminated first, but someone's got to draw that short straw o7
