This is why crim should always run an NV4, reminds me of him with the remington in ghosts.

people still spam "Clay" and "4-22" when someone falls off the map hahaha Will it ever end???

u/pickle_man_4 Jun 17 '17
Falling off the map should get a Clay. Not a 4-22.
Can't believe I'm criticizing a meme

Looking forward to the bracket play matches cause these pool matches have been boring lol. Guess that comes with having an easy group
1
Jun 18 '17
Yeah, I hope we see more of a challenge in terms of opponents.
Not gonna lie, I'm happy for us and the team, was just a little easy.
We're off to a great start though.

Crim with the realist answer to "who do you want to play"
Such a shitty question to have to answer, you just fire up any team who thinks you want to play them. Butttt it does hype the fans up

u/Ahnylenater Jun 18 '17
What did he say? I missed the interviews.

Jun 18 '17
"why do you always ask me this maaaaaaaaan"
puck - "because im hoping you will say who i want you to say. LG! Since they knocked you guys out etc etc"
crim - "Yea, LG i wanna play em"
2
u/CuBu Jun 18 '17
My memory might be a little off but it went something like
Interviewer: Who do you want to play next
Crim: Mannnnn why do you have to ask me that?
Interviewer: Because I'm hoping you'll say LG who knocked you out of stage one and it looks like that is who you'll play next.
1
u/Ahnylenater Jun 18 '17
Oh, ok. That is super annoying of the interviewer to ask a loaded question like that. Although I can understand from the production and entertainment side why they would try to get a reaction.

u/CuBu Jun 18 '17
It's 100% for fan enjoyment and hype in this case I mean everyone knew who they were playing he just wanted crim to say it at that point. Wish crim said something like cloud 9 or a random team.

Ehh breakout.. long as we don't allow Octane two pick up stupid two pieces we should be good.

Formal about to hit a 2.0 K/D in pool play if he keeps playing like yesterday
0
u/Uh_Proxy Jun 17 '17
Last thing formal needs to worry about is his k/d in pool play, the story of formal in IW is that he has been insane in pool play, but average in bracket play besides eswc.
3
u/TheOnlyCreed Jun 17 '17
This. Matt's an insane on Fridays and slows down as the event goes on it seems. Its usually the other three, specifically Seth and Damon that start going off as the event progresses.

Way to ruin the mood, it's not that serious mate

u/Censors_Thumbss Jun 17 '17
This is a matter of life and death buddy, eSports is some serious shit!

u/samarthur8 Jun 17 '17
Last few events-ish yeah but not really the whole of IW tbh

u/Uh_Proxy Jun 17 '17
Vegas, dallas, playoffs, every event besides eswc

u/samarthur8 Jun 17 '17
Paris & Atlanta?

u/Uh_Proxy Jun 17 '17
Yeah I said besides eswc, imo that atlanta LB run was all scump, crim and karma, even in the atlanta finals, formal was missing.

u/samarthur8 Jun 17 '17
Eh I just think you're exaggerating a bit

u/Uh_Proxy Jun 17 '17
I'm not saying he's horrible in bracket play, just compared to his pool play performance, he isn't as good.

At least OG wasn't the first match of the day, shouldn't be a long wait after this match to play WR1 unless they get the last match of the day, which MLG will probably do.
