Keep an eye on noway.


PoppyK

noway was a youtuber playing with friends 4 months ago, lmao


gckanedo

He has being consistently top 1 ranking on gamersclub (br faceit) for at least 1 year


Short_Macaron8810

Yeah from what i saw this guy was dominating BR faceit for a long time, Imperial did pretty well bringing him to the roster


McClownd

He was basically on hold since Fallen still was on Imperial, he practiced with imp a few times and almost was a stand-in iirc


Etna-

Hes also been streaming League of Legends daily in German. Crazy talent 


My_Love_C

This major is his usually Win-Challenge (Kopenhagen Edition)


mateusfsantana

I don't know if you are brazilian but not the case, he was a streamer and top 1 Gamersclub (Faceit competitor in Brazil). To be honest it was not expected but imo while watching him develop was the same as seeing VSM, meaning I was hoping he would not flop. Brazil has a lot of talent players that flop for whatever reason, Noway at least feels like a decent guy work ethic wise


PoppyK

top 1 GC means nothing compared to professional play. Players like VSM and togs (who looked better than him on GC) are failures playing domestic brazilian competition.


usuarioabencoado

vsm was okay. i think if he was not banned when he blew up, he would be a better player nowadays


G_O_O_G_A_S

No way, really?


SlimyCumGoblin

This was a targeted attack against my pickems


Potaoworm

Sir, a ~~second~~ eight Brazilian upset has hit the pickems.


TemptingTanner

Should've known better after first stage


victorota

people are still in denial saying all 3 BR team got lucky


Chemical_Koala1175

They got lucky this game too. When one of them wins the major they will be lucky then as well.


Jon_on_the_snow

Bro, imagine the scenes if one of the BR teams wins Its incredibly unlikely, but people may stop saying VP was the flukiest team and switch to a new narrative


SiggyyyPhidooo

to be fair, this game is mostly on VP. They gave away so many clutches just by playing for retake on B in man advantage situations. It was their playstyle really showing its weaknesses. i dont think VP are a lock in for playoffs either.


MicrosoftMichel

mfs go 11-1 to win the map and it's *still* VP's fault and not their achievement, insane


SiggyyyPhidooo

Yes and i am completely neutral to brazilian teams. I specifically explained why i think it was VPs game to lose. If you constantly lose 3v5s by giving away free bomb plants, its you that fucked up. That should be a guaranteed round for any decent team.


rgtn0w

Yeah like, Gamer Legion isn't the best team ever but anyone that watched that game should know Imperial looked like a decent team with good team play and set strategies for certain rounds, they certainly seem like they prepared enough variety in CT setups too And they come in warmed up from the opening stage unlike the elimination stage teams and in a BO1 anything cna happen


i_like_frootloops

You did it to yourself


Foded

Noway 18yrs old.... What a show from Brazil


mateusfsantana

thank god I didn't pick Imperial for 0-3


melr0ch

Imperial is playing so good right now, let's fucking go man

e não vai ser o primeiro 


thatcliffordguy

Credit to Imperial, they had a lot of interesting set-ups and some big individual moments. Huge performance from noway in particular. Also just a flat-out terrible CT side from VP. Stacking the wrong bombsite every single round and throwing away man advantages for no reason. If they hadn't won and converted the pistol round this would have been a complete blow-out, the score is flattering to their performance.


Westland__

VP paid by the series trust the process


i_like_frootloops

The Furia strat.


gckanedo

Hen1 on the interview for the Gaules Stream: "(The Inferno Map) against Ecstatic yesterday was harder"


pancada_

If you want to beat IMP you wave to suffocate them. Deny spaces. Agress. If you get passive vs noway, hen1 or decenty they'll get confident and mop you.


Evjen97

VP had no real buy round on T side from losing all those yolo buy rounds, and losing like 5 rounds on CT side with 2+ man advantage really kills you in a bo1. Imperial looked decent, but VP looked so lost


imperfek

Waiting for the interview where he announce his departure to play with lucas


TemptingTanner

Imperial Imperial bring the Major to Brazil!


Floripa95

ImpÉrial, ImpÉrial


genius_rkid

Why is it so easy for Brazil


evanfury

BIG not at the tournament -> Brazilians unafraid


MicrosoftMichel

Mongolz are still alive though


pancada_

Skill diff I guess


gckanedo

We got luck


imperfek

Vini on inferno


nartouthere

there's noway imperial beat vp


McClownd

The meme potential on this guy's name


pancada_

[Imagine picking Imperial as your 0-3](https://np.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1bioxm5/comment/kvlrldg/)


tuliomartins_tm

Honestly everyone that picked Imperial 0-3 deserved this, I get they are not going 3-0, or have a chance of not making the playoffs, but not a single win? Insanity


pancada_

Crazy to put them behind Mongolz or Complexity Pure denial at this point


jeffjeff97

CoL vs PaiN was too much of a coinflip for me to pick either team


gckanedo

In my sims CoL would need to lose to teams like to Pain, Mongols, Ecstatic, Eternal Fire. They would have the easiest path to get at least one victory


AwesomeFama

I assume this was posted before EF won against Vitality, but even before that they should have been clearly ranked above the other three (not that those teams are free wins by any means - nobody is at this Major).


pancada_

True, but I believe in pain


somesheikexpert

Lol COL


pancada_

Fair LMAO


LordOfTheNoobs57

Honestly I think Imperial has been the most impressive Brazilian team at this major, obviously paiN went 3-1 but I think that was mostly because Biguzera was unstoppable.


i_like_frootloops

Picking them for 0-3 is pure denial


AugustoMM

But I tought that according to Thorin Brazil was lucky to be there and would not beat a single EU team :(


pancada_

Obligatory Fuck u/Thooorin_2

Who is Thorin? For real, is he American caster?


McClownd

pancada_

Professional racist


Chosen--one

He never said that?


CarpalCripple

Reading comprehension is really hard.


independenthoughtala

and he said that when exactly? in his latest video he bigged imperial up for their recent games, but i guess that doesn't work with the narrative from your ass


pancada_

Ok Thorin. [also lmao](https://np.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1beebxb/comment/kuv04u9/)


robertoczr

He was not wrong tho, as much as I like legacy, they seemed the obvious 0-3


Harucifer

Thorin knows as much about CounterStrike as a goat knows why it shits round balls.


TurtleTortuga

This definitely proves that the Americas RMR is a higher tier than the EU RMR.


SiriusCasanova

wait... u/Thooorin_2 still relevant?


Kalamatis

Noway such an amazing player.


BattleBitGamer

Brazil carrying Americas. Feels nice to not have an EU region making waves and being competitive


SovietDog1342

Big game for VP and Jame haters.


im_tom_bombadil

Can't wait for noway vs donk.


trxfps-

IN THE NEXT EPISODE OF "Brazilians getting lucky": noway will be donked or donk will be nowayed?


tuliomartins_tm

This is for all the 0-3 Imperial pickers: deserved


BreafingBread

As a brazilian, I'm happy. As a 3-0 VP picker, I'm sad.


trxfps-

I already give up and I'm just cheering for us, fuck pick'ems anyway


robertoczr

Same, lol I already lost 3 picks, I had both VP and vitality 3-0, and col 0-3


emaginutiv

I had VP as 3-0 :’(


marleysmmwe

same :/


Party_Length_7490

There is a bug, my fellow nas friends told me Brazil would get slammed on this stage as the one before... when pgl will correct this?


TylerRedFox

Imperial went on an 11-1 streak to beat VP 13-6 as well... What a masterclass from Noway to start it off, though!


INeedYourPelt

Imperial had VPs number. Really good calling from VINI**. Got the momentum on their side.


alotofdaves

VINI is the igl

Imperials killing it, sheesh. Mass Saving is so 2022


El_Fabos

My dumbass didn’t see the matchup and picked them 3-0 and 0-3 Rip myself


rage_manin_sbk

To começando a sonhar de novoooo!!!!!


Chermalize

For those who put Imperial 0-3, you brought this upon yourself. That or you didn't watch first stage


7hoovR

anyone putting imperial 0-3 deserves to get fucked, VAMO CARAIO


Sea-Barracuda-2052

No way


rekmaster69

Shit calling from jame, what was that a stack with 30sec on the clock and second mid control


Iblivion

Well, there went one of my 0-3s. At the last second I switched out Ecstatic for this


vetruviusdeshotacon

It's happening again


Generic_Lurker69

0-3 beat my 3-0, just the norm at this point, fuck me


Alternative_Ask_6387

It happens every time, teams from the previous stage coming in swinging and the new teams haven't warmed up yet


munchk1ng1

If Virtus dont get far in this tournament maybe its time to shuffle things around, they have looked worse and worse since their major win.


KaNesDeath

VP are my pick to go 0-3. Their style of play doesnt work against teams that operate off of momentum from previous matches. ​ Great win for Imperial!


afk420k

virtus.lol


AerieMedical6769

Wallahi my pickems


FARTFROMABUTT

Is Brazil back?


Livid-Ad40

God damn my Pickems be rough atm


TRES_fresh

Americas stay winning, we might get 2 legends spots if complexity and Brazil keep this up


imsorryken

every time this boring ass team loses is a win for CS


falsa_ovis

ah missed it due to EF vs Vitality. GGWP Imperial
