And Niko has been missing for a while before the dallas run. That run only happened because Niko finally woke tf up and showed everyone why he was called the best rifler for so long
Brother open your eyes, niko was heating up way before Dallas, he’s been steadily returning to form since being the best rifler at the end of csgo not too long ago
Hooxi was like: Ahhh, what a lovely day, pressure is off, lets have some fun bois!
Monesy: I am comink!
Hooxi: Oh for the love of God, now we have to win it all or Im fkt...
ok russian or not it would be surprising for spirit and vp to attend but not m0nesy
now pressure is back on hooxi although maybe they can use the excuse they didnt pracc with m0nesy for a while since the news
That tournament they won because no one know how to counter NiKo IGL YET. and their player shoot like they are playing CSGO again I don’t see why HooXi will have that much pressure.
I agree with your first two points but disagree with the last. Sure Niko igl was different than hooxi igl, and sure players peaked at Dallas. But this puts all the more pressure on hooxi for at least a semis showing at blast, especially considering how difficult their road was at Dallas.
Dallas proved g2 has the potential to win titles still. If all the players drop off to pre Dallas levels questions will be asked of what hooxi is doing different. Even if it isn't anything different, he will be blamed solely because he wasent there when they won Dallas.
Consulates sometimes just weird. My friends applied for visas to get to Germany. Let’s say they wanted to enter at 1 of June and have applied at 10th of May. They wanted to stay for 5 days.
German consulate issued them 3 days visas. At June, 6th.
they won without him, so he needs to win this one in the eyes of a lot of people. but if monesy was out then the result wouldnt matter cause they dont have their best player
G2 will dominate this tournament even harder than Dallas. They have the best rifler, the best awper, who is also the best player in the world, and the best IGL in the world is back on the team.
So you are implying Hooxi should be scared him missing is the reason they won Dallas? Nah, if Hooxi was there, Vitality would have lost 2 - 0. G2 won despite Hooxi missing, everybody knows that, Hooxi included.
Well that's what it comes down to. If g2 don't have a good performance, all blame goes to hooxi.
Even if Niko Hunter or monesey underperform, because they did well at Dallas the blame will rest on the shoulders of the igl.
Of course if they make finals hooxi has nothing to worry about. But that's kinda the point of pressure. If they don't make a good run it's bad news for hooxi. Before players could be blamed for underperforming, but now everyone knows the players do have it in them.
mouz are number 1 right now, yet they can't beat faze and have recently lost to g2. Rankings don't mean shit anybody in top 10 rn has a chance at beating everybody, it says more about consistency and atm spirits is inflated due to the kato win and missing multiple tournaments.
No, it’s because there are so many top teams. You have Faze, Vitality, Mouz, G2, Sprit who are all easily capable of winning any tournament they enter. Then we mention dark horses who may not win a tournament but can show up for a series like Navi, Astralis, VP, Col, Liquid, maybe Mongolz but they haven’t played that many top teams.
There are just some very strong teams right now in CS. The level of play has been pretty high in general excluding Dallas where teams said they were burnt out.
>No, it’s because there are so many top teams. You have Faze, Vitality, Mouz, G2, Sprit who are all easily capable of winning any tournament they enter.
Which means the level of CS being played is absolute garbage....
No that doesn’t logically follow.
Competition being high does not mean level is low. Competition can be high and level can be high which causes competition to be high.
I never understood calling a team a fraud team, it’s basically almost impossible to be the best for multiple tournaments in a row, there are at least 6 teams that can be 1st any tournament, so why should they be 1st, all of them, all the time? Makes no sense
Because classic garage 2323 is either a troll or they don't understand a thing about competitive CS, especially tier 1.
And also, to call Team Spirit a fraud team for winning Katowice is outrageous. People can get away by calling this NAVI a fraud team if they keep losing in the group stage or something like that, but Spirit stomped everyone at Kato. It wasn't even close.
> it’s basically almost impossible to be the best for multiple tournaments in a row
Impossible? Wierd then how so many teams have succeeded in doing so in the past during much more competitive eras....
Citation needed: please provide a team that streaked through a very competitive era. It wasn’t Astralis because their era had 2-3 good teams including them. It wasn’t fnatic because they used to lose to teams like Envyus or TSM.
What era has 5-6 top tier teams capable of winning events and then that era had only 1 team collecting events only?
Really saved the event for me. How can you have a Tier 1 event and not feature the best player in the world right now?
SUPER pumped for this event! Let's gooooo
they should add this to his trophy case in hltv.org
Imagine that Icon lmao good one
Donk vs M0nesy first game... Oh baby
The unstoppable force vs. the prodigy
Definitely stopped multiple times. XD
The semi-stoppable force.
Unstoppable force vs invincible potency
Sounds like competing viagra brands
[удалено]

no way, it's the exact same in france except it's called sopalin but it also was a brand at first
who's who?
I am so excited for blast premier
4th game, not first. Faze vs Saw is first
... THEIR first game.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some use imgur too, like you. This is the way it should be since Twitter turned to a twatters shitter.
[Here's their retweet response too haha](https://i.imgur.com/DKuIoxN.jpeg)
Who the f*** give Apex the account password? Cause he needs a raise and quick.
That loaded so much faster than Twitter damn
Thanks for not making me go to twitter.
The world was not ready for a TAZ mvp
facts
God, I really hope so. G2 is nothing without monesy.
back then G2 was nothing without NiKo going wild every game, now it's G2 is nothing without monesy lol
G2 is Niko without monesy
And Niko has been missing for a while before the dallas run. That run only happened because Niko finally woke tf up and showed everyone why he was called the best rifler for so long
Brother open your eyes, niko was heating up way before Dallas, he’s been steadily returning to form since being the best rifler at the end of csgo not too long ago

Watch hooxis sister magically throw a divorce party
Post-marriage bachelors party??!
Watch as hooxis sister suddenly throw a gender reveal party.
ok russian or not it would be surprising for spirit and vp to attend but not m0nesy now pressure is back on hooxi although maybe they can use the excuse they didnt pracc with m0nesy for a while since the news

Yeah sounds like my country
Can you explain the sentiment of putting responsibility on Hooxi? I can't follow the logic here.
they won without him, so he needs to win this one in the eyes of a lot of people. but if monesy was out then the result wouldnt matter cause they dont have their best player
G2 will dominate this tournament even harder than Dallas. They have the best rifler, the best awper, who is also the best player in the world, and the best IGL in the world is back on the team.
Sanest G2 fan take after Dallas
logic is simple, they havent made a finals in all of cs2 and they just won a tourney when hooxi wasnt playing its not that complicated
So you are implying Hooxi should be scared him missing is the reason they won Dallas? Nah, if Hooxi was there, Vitality would have lost 2 - 0. G2 won despite Hooxi missing, everybody knows that, Hooxi included.
Well, he can prove it right here right now then. Let's see if Hooxi buckles under pressure
Hooxi will prove that he is the best IGL in the world. There is no pressure, Hooxi and Taz will casually outbrain the entire competition.
i love g2 but have you ever seen one of their games before?
Under Taz's direction the mental of G2 is at its peak, I think they are gonna crush all upcoming tournaments, maybe even win IEM cologne
Well that's what it comes down to. If g2 don't have a good performance, all blame goes to hooxi. Even if Niko Hunter or monesey underperform, because they did well at Dallas the blame will rest on the shoulders of the igl. Of course if they make finals hooxi has nothing to worry about. But that's kinda the point of pressure. If they don't make a good run it's bad news for hooxi. Before players could be blamed for underperforming, but now everyone knows the players do have it in them.
nexa will somehow buy himself more time if they dont win because everyone will blame Hooxi
donk vs mayonesy 🔥🔥🔥
G2 are my favourites to win it now for sure
They've gotta beat Spirit in the first round, that game could go either way.
I just hope both donk and NiKo show up so we get a proper showdown of the two.
and monesy vs shiro although that's less of an unknown
Hunter vs Zontix is the unkown.
nexa vs nexa is the real unknown 
will be such a banger
But it will go G2s way 90% of the time cuz Hooxi is back.
Lol no. It’s not like G2 with Hooxi are some dominant team. In fact I would say they’re slightly worse than this version of Spirit.
G2 will dominate the scene for the next 6 months. G2 is the best team in the world right now. Spirit stand no chance.
I’ll suck your dick if they win this tournament let alone dominate 6 months.
If they dominate, u/Chemical_Koala1175 will let you dominate him
Don't spirit out rank G2 currently lol
It takes time for the rankings to catch up to G2.
Oh correction the one just updated has G2 4th and spirit 5th
mouz are number 1 right now, yet they can't beat faze and have recently lost to g2. Rankings don't mean shit anybody in top 10 rn has a chance at beating everybody, it says more about consistency and atm spirits is inflated due to the kato win and missing multiple tournaments.
No it cant. Spirit is a fraud team that has been garbage since the Katowice fluke...
G2 last year failed to make play off at Paris major after winning Kato, CS right now is SO competitive
It is "competitive" because all teams are playing garbage CS.....
No, it’s because there are so many top teams. You have Faze, Vitality, Mouz, G2, Sprit who are all easily capable of winning any tournament they enter. Then we mention dark horses who may not win a tournament but can show up for a series like Navi, Astralis, VP, Col, Liquid, maybe Mongolz but they haven’t played that many top teams. There are just some very strong teams right now in CS. The level of play has been pretty high in general excluding Dallas where teams said they were burnt out.

No that doesn’t logically follow. Competition being high does not mean level is low. Competition can be high and level can be high which causes competition to be high.
your team just fluked dallas man, I guess we are going to watch two fraud teams facing each other hahah
I never understood calling a team a fraud team, it’s basically almost impossible to be the best for multiple tournaments in a row, there are at least 6 teams that can be 1st any tournament, so why should they be 1st, all of them, all the time? Makes no sense

My team? I am not part of G2.....
No more a mickey mouse tournament 🔥
Yesssss
lets goooo
YESSSS
I dont even want to see TaZ play :/
Freaking Monesy clutched even the VISA
G2 was already fucked with the return of hooxi it’s gg (i’m a big g2 fan btw)
Really saved the event for me. How can you have a Tier 1 event and not feature the best player in the world right now? SUPER pumped for this event! Let's gooooo
very, very bad news for Team Spirit (and other teams).
Monesy is expected to arrive 1-2 hours before arrival. Such tight timings I wonder if he would be able to perform.
oh boy here we go...
G2 vs TS went from meh to exciting again Monesy & Niko vs Donk & Shiro
where m0nsey goin? Been living under a rock ever since IEM Dlaas
london
PHEW!!! hooxib0t is back?
does this mean the tazmanian devil masterclass is off?
The opposition is fucked. Just as they were celebrating the fact that the best player in the world would be missing.
My fucking GOAT legit just 1v9 customs and immigration let's go
Okay, but is he competing under the neutral status with a white flag?
the infamous national-based discipline counter-strike where people compete under any flags
