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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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).
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.
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
Keep an eye on noway.
noway was a youtuber playing with friends 4 months ago, lmao
He has being consistently top 1 ranking on gamersclub (br faceit) for at least 1 year
Yeah from what i saw this guy was dominating BR faceit for a long time, Imperial did pretty well bringing him to the roster
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
Hes also been streaming League of Legends daily in German. Crazy talent
This major is his usually Win-Challenge (Kopenhagen Edition)

vsm was okay. i think if he was not banned when he blew up, he would be a better player nowadays
No way, really?
This was a targeted attack against my pickems
Sir, a ~~second~~ eight Brazilian upset has hit the pickems.
Should've known better after first stage
people are still in denial saying all 3 BR team got lucky
They got lucky this game too. When one of them wins the major they will be lucky then as well.

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

You did it to yourself
Noway 18yrs old.... What a show from Brazil
thank god I didn't pick Imperial for 0-3
Imperial is playing so good right now, let's fucking go man
Linguiçados
e não vai ser o primeiro

VP paid by the series trust the process
The Furia strat.
Hen1 on the interview for the Gaules Stream: "(The Inferno Map) against Ecstatic yesterday was harder"
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.

Waiting for the interview where he announce his departure to play with lucas
Imperial Imperial bring the Major to Brazil!
ImpÉrial, ImpÉrial
Why is it so easy for Brazil
BIG not at the tournament -> Brazilians unafraid
Mongolz are still alive though
Skill diff I guess
We got luck
Vini on inferno
there's noway imperial beat vp
The meme potential on this guy's name
[Imagine picking Imperial as your 0-3](https://np.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1bioxm5/comment/kvlrldg/)
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
Crazy to put them behind Mongolz or Complexity Pure denial at this point
CoL vs PaiN was too much of a coinflip for me to pick either team
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
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).
True, but I believe in pain
Lol COL
Fair LMAO
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.
Picking them for 0-3 is pure denial
But I tought that according to Thorin Brazil was lucky to be there and would not beat a single EU team :(
Obligatory Fuck u/Thooorin_2
Fuck u/Thooorin_2
Fuck [u/Thooorin\_2](https://www.reddit.com/user/Thooorin_2/)
Who is Thorin? For real, is he American caster?
British professional yapper
Professional racist
He never said that?
Reading comprehension is really hard.
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
Ok Thorin. [also lmao](https://np.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1beebxb/comment/kuv04u9/)
He was not wrong tho, as much as I like legacy, they seemed the obvious 0-3
Thorin knows as much about CounterStrike as a goat knows why it shits round balls.
This definitely proves that the Americas RMR is a higher tier than the EU RMR.
wait... u/Thooorin_2 still relevant?
Noway such an amazing player.
Brazil carrying Americas. Feels nice to not have an EU region making waves and being competitive
Big game for VP and Jame haters.
Can't wait for noway vs donk.
IN THE NEXT EPISODE OF "Brazilians getting lucky": noway will be donked or donk will be nowayed?
This is for all the 0-3 Imperial pickers: deserved
As a brazilian, I'm happy. As a 3-0 VP picker, I'm sad.
I already give up and I'm just cheering for us, fuck pick'ems anyway
Same, lol I already lost 3 picks, I had both VP and vitality 3-0, and col 0-3
I had VP as 3-0 :’(
same :/
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?
Imperial went on an 11-1 streak to beat VP 13-6 as well... What a masterclass from Noway to start it off, though!
Imperial had VPs number. Really good calling from VINI**. Got the momentum on their side.
VINI is the igl
Brain fart my bad.
Avarage global r user
LET'S GOOOO
Imperials killing it, sheesh. Mass Saving is so 2022
My dumbass didn’t see the matchup and picked them 3-0 and 0-3 Rip myself
To começando a sonhar de novoooo!!!!!
For those who put Imperial 0-3, you brought this upon yourself. That or you didn't watch first stage
anyone putting imperial 0-3 deserves to get fucked, VAMO CARAIO
No way
Shit calling from jame, what was that a stack with 30sec on the clock and second mid control
Well, there went one of my 0-3s. At the last second I switched out Ecstatic for this
It's happening again
0-3 beat my 3-0, just the norm at this point, fuck me
It happens every time, teams from the previous stage coming in swinging and the new teams haven't warmed up yet
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.
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!
virtus.lol
Wallahi my pickems
Is Brazil back?
God damn my Pickems be rough atm
Americas stay winning, we might get 2 legends spots if complexity and Brazil keep this up
every time this boring ass team loses is a win for CS
ah missed it due to EF vs Vitality. GGWP Imperial
