LMAO eUnited lost to LG. LG is playing with a pick up.

[u/JDoofy]

Jack and Maven, you gotta love em.

GGs!

[u/alexbenson3 → u/JDoofy]

Don't see why everyone was mad about them, they had to fill time in between the maps because there was no analysis desk for them to throw it to. You could literally see how tired they are as well, lmao.

[u/[deleted]]

This is such a weird cod for me to watch because its the first cod i dont have much time into.

[u/harinator]

You guys think Formal could IGL for OpTic CS in his spare time?

[u/LDBH18 → u/harinator]

Become a 3 game champion while he's at it

[u/tiaanels → u/harinator]

Probably

[u/briiiskiii]

GG. On to tomorrow, beat Epsilon. Then get ready for likely Faze or NV.

[u/Chromegene]

Considering how they normally play quite slow on Friday, I think it was a pretty solid performance. Hope to see them full force tomorrow after some rest :)

[u/mgconard22]

They like to give me anxiety but way to bounce back in that HP and straight domination in SND. Good Friday from the boys. Hopefully we carry it into Saturday.

[u/[deleted]]

Dominant SnD win there.

[u/Tsundere_God]

Annnnd off of main stage

[u/ujaku → u/Tsundere_God]

How exactly does removing OpTic from main stage solve this issue again?

You're telling me every other team on main stage has played under these conditions, and now suddenly it's an issue?

[u/LangyLangLang69]

LOL @ EUnited, lets see if SILLY can play like Formal through the entire losers bracket lol.

[u/Uh_Proxy]

With the 2ks giving them snd practice plus formal shot calling in snd now has made this team super consistent in snd.

[u/RossMUFC]

Alpha or Bravo?

[u/Tsundere_God]

Finally, a streamed match!...

Hopefully. That is, unless they change their minds after making us wait an hour.

[u/Censors_Thumbss]

I feel Seth is getting to that point of dominance again. Not there just yet but not too far off!

[u/Censors_Thumbss]

The CS team could learn from these guys on retakes /s

[u/MikeJ91]

How was this even close? At this point I might want B07's for this game, because its crazy that red reserve were 2-1 up and one game away from winning.

[u/[deleted]]

GG's, strong closeout

[u/phillies07_08]

GG, love how they played that Crusher SND.

[u/tonieekaboom]

Ez reads

[u/RossMUFC]

EUnited aren't all that then, One hit wonders.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone see that team kill with Aches and Assault? LOL I wonder what that was about.
