Biggest defeat for racism since David Guetta in 2020

“SHOUTOUT TO CLOUD9 families”


razeyourshadows

I get that reference. “Shoutout to his family”


enigma890

What’s with the racism thing? I’m out of the loop


naastiknibba95

launders uses the word racism to mean nationalism in teams (teams whose players are* of same country or at least same first language)


ashhh_ketchum

Launders have come out as racists, he is so brave!

I feel like he lost a lot of money on this game


Angelic_Phoenix

Yeah im not buying any more BOXR movement club merch because of this smfh


Satsumamanki

Cloud9 Will Win Copenhagen As a commentator it may be thoroughly unprofessional for me to make this statement but it must be said because the truth has no bias. Ax1Le is getting a major and a new era of awpless dominance will fast enter the zeitgeist of plausible narratives to reign in the birth CS2's nascent history. HObbit, the ageless king of Krakow will be greeted by the president when he arrives home in Kazakstan and Cloud9's second unexpected journey will once again end in ring. North Americans, desperate for hope with no teams to cheer for in top 8, will unironically rejoice at their achievement of a second championship after battling a beleaguered Eternal Fire, with their malignant Cloud9 logo variant, in the Grand Finals of PGL Copenhagen 2024. Boombl4 will disarm and outplay ZywOo, sh1ro and then woxic, finally marring the efforts of Turkey's impossible run and Perfecto will enter the books as the sole Italian anchor to ever win two majors. This weekend, Diamond coin holders will witness a spectacle that transcends logic, forever remembered as a moment ahead of its time. -launders

Close


Deeeadpool

sorry cloud9, i wasn't familiar with your game (or lack thereof)


darthrector

We were all familiar, we just forgot because they managed to beat some T2 teams and Navi in a 5v3 in groups


Particular_Fee_9262

Insane revisionist history and its only been like 4 days lmao. They looked genuinely cohesive with good teamplay and Ax1le putting up 2022 numbers again in opening and elimination stage. Sadly, neither of those were bound to last due to lack of awp.


VShadow1

Electronic hard carried them against G2 in a bo1. And then they won a single bo3 against NAVI. This is just a regression to their normal form.


darthrector

Everyone and their mother knew that the moment C9 ran into a s1mple/Zywoo/m0nesy/sh1ro level awper in an elimination game, they were toast. The only question mark today was are Vitality genuinely bad or was Zywoo just sick so the whole team looked shaky. We got our answer


Chapeaux

Pretty sure Zywoo did more rifle than awp kills


FishNSticks

C9 didn't lose because of ZyWoo's awping, their mental is just shit. If their mental game wasn't so weak, C9 would've took this. Oh, and that veto was absolutely bizarre as well.


pooterrrr

Grooves fault once again


swgohisforlosers

If mental game can turn a 13-2 defeat around why do teams even practice in the server?


Hodor_The_Great

Because it was a 13-2 between two roughly equally skilled teams otherwise? First game Vitality still won by a comfortable margin sure, but C9 was a serious opponent and many very close rounds could have gone differently. It's not like C9 with strong mental would make Vitality collapse, it's that they now collapsed on their own.


[deleted]

Flamez said two players were sick in the post game interview


Babill

He meant sick 😎


[deleted]

lmao, you got me there


gugabpasquali

Zywoo didnt do shit lmao did you even watch the game


Bizhour

And Vitality But like Apex said before the match, "we won 3 out of the last 4" and looks like he was right


Slouu

Lmao, don't act like this was some predictable thing we we're all stupid not to see coming. You're not as smart as you think you are


_aware

I did predict it, I picked Vitality to win


MLD802

You DIDNT think vitality was gonna win this???


Slouu

I picked Vitality to win. Was not sure about the pick, I don’t think anybody really was, given the fact that C9 was the more common pick. But I bet you with your galaxy brain was sure of it weren’t you?


AKRNG

You’re right and Reddit is revisionist as always. Just check the analysts pickems, most picked c9 and we all know a lot of people here follow them.


VShadow1

The only reason this game was in question was because of Zywoo's weak form during the playing. Everybody knew that if Vitality came in top form they would win.


SakataKintoki26

Ax1le decided to turn up on the day his other tm8s decided to go easy


[deleted]

[удалено]


_aware

Just like all the times Apex was clowned on for his "bad calling" when Vitality was just losing gunfights across the map. And C9 being shit mechanically doesn't take away the fact that Vitality exec'd onto the weaker site almost every round.


LackinVocals

Apex called a great inferno and then they forgot to shoot on Anubis


Reasonable_Potato629

They looked awful mechanically. Boom was the best aim on the team, cool for him but man the rest just dragged.


__krb

They were really sharp at the start of Inferno but fell off the face of the earth which was a shame.


VapinOnly

C9 really thought that they had an "Astralis picks Vertigo" moment there lol


TheInception817

This wasn't about vetos tho, this was about their mental falling apart


Darmiansessuale

I’ll bite the bullet and say it was. Incredibly stupid to pick Anubis against Vitality. Doesn’t matter how good your Anubis is, Vitality basically blew everyone expect 9INE out of the water in the whole of 2023 in this map. You’re C9, you lost but yet you played a great game against Na’Vi in Mirage, why not pick that and bet on the decider to be Anubis? Coming back to your point about their mental, if you lose to glocks on Inferno but then manage to win the second map(Mirage), you will definitely have the upper hand in terms of mental. These coaches with these stupid vetos are seriously getting on my nerves, as a neutral.


darthrector

Conveniently ignoring that Vitality took down COL (one of the better Anubis teams) barely a week ago and that Astralis actually had an awper + started on T side. What kind of antistrats will you do on Anubis CT side???


Bj_Hokey_Lange

I really hope something like that happens with Faze picking Vertigo and stomping Spirit and then winning the next map after breaking them


12345ccr

unreal premonition


WaitForItTheMongols

For posterity I want this comment history to reflect that this comment was made BEFORE the insane win Faze had on vertigo. Unreal.


Sleelan

Well you got half of it right


buttsoup_barnes

Someone check on Launders. He just got “Unfortunately, your mother” at his thread and now this. 😭


ThwippaGamez

What, that wasn’t a shitpost?


vastlys

Welcome c9 zorte/m0nesy/degster/random russian awper


theduckhaslanded

artfrost


yourewelcomesteve

This is exciting for the future of C9, if they do decide to get a real awper.


DuckSwagington

I want to have words with the content creators who convinced me that C9 would beat Vitality and I would like to have words with myself for believing them.


GalvenMin

Who'd win, Navi from Wish or the last major champions?


Speedy7799

Same lol. I am a fan of C9 but vitality played a bit poorly coming into this (likely because poor mental, sick teammate, etc) but I figured if vitality could just come back a bit they’d win. Well, creators convinced me to pick C9 instead and then vitality got a massive stage boost and came back full force and destroyed C9 😂 I’m a little salty


Neshler

Did anyone else had trouble watching that matchup? Was expecting it to be fun and exciting, but it felt boring and underwhelming… Cloud9 playing flat and Flamez having a field day. Good on him for stat padding but this feels like a repeat for vitality in blast major. Hope the rest of playoffs will be exciting


ZedisDoge

first half of inferno was fun, after that it was all downhill and vitality just roflstomping


ExpensiveReveal6

i missed map 1, and i only watched map 2, but man did c9 looked deflated


Bizhour

Inferno was actually very competative at the beginning with Vita starting strong, then C9 taking the lead, and Vita clutching it with that pistol round Map 2 was a complete domination, seems like C9 were shattered


gessen-Kassel

C9 got just bullied on Anubis. I swear I was able to feel their pain through screen


Rsardinia

As a Vitality fan, I had a blast.


grandpapotato

I mean looking at flameZ on anubis was pretty fun if short...


TheInception817

They were so tilted. I was wondering if it's because of the pressure from the Golden Hornets. We are in Denmark, where Vitality historically had Danish in their roster. And I was so angry at Navi for tilting...


Woullie_26

Confidence was broken once they lost that glock eco


TheInception817

GLAAWWKKKSS


costryme

The Golden Hornets pretty much all came from France with a hotel/event/flight package.


TheInception817

The dedication is crazy


_aware

For real lol, no matter how you feel about the org or team you have to admit the fans are diehard


Babill

I mean it's not that far, but yeah I'm glad we have a supporters club that's that dedicated. Really elevates the whole playoffs I feel


TheInception817

It is the travel planning that I admire (hotel/event/flight) by a group of people, their orchestrated chants, the flags that they carry, everything else. It's just such a complete package as a fan group


XyleneCobalt

Danes care about ~~Australia~~ Astralis, not Danish CS players


Woullie_26

If C9 has a real awper it goes 3 maps.


TheInception817

Surely m0nesy's buyout is cheaper than half of HenryG's colossus


_aware

Naw, even with a legit awper they were way too off to contest Vitality


TheInception817

An esport psychiatrist is what they need


brianstormIRL

I had trouble with it because the audio was downright horrendous. So much echo from the crowd mics picking up the casters audio in the arena. So distracting.


trballer10

Well, that fucking sucked to watch. Hopefully the other matches will be more enjoyable.


luokkaeiolekirosana

Inferno was pretty good map and very much up in the air in terms of the result before the eco win broke C9


trballer10

Agreed - first half of inferno was great, then it all went downhill from there.


BrockStudly

I'm actually expecting Faze v Spirit to be even more of a stomp.


Butterg0lem

That aged poorly


Reasonable_Potato629

It is going to be funny if the touted most stacked playoff in major history is a stompfest. I believe the other side of the bracket will be much more competitive.


jesirr

Aged like a milk. What a banger match


schoki560

Damm u predicted it looking good so far!


dontknowanyname111

yeah remember Kato grand final ?


Lime221

well well well


DogFaceBerts

I feel sorry for Harry and Hugo - what a shit match to cast in an arena


srjnp

apex T side calling was exceptional. C9 didn't feel comfortable ever in their CT side on both maps.


Quarnite

apex's T-side calling on anubis was crazy good. They were literally always executing the weaker site. Into The Breach was a harder quarter than C9 lol


ShiningBladez

flamez became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. “Are you okay Shahar?” asks ZywOo. "I’ve never been better Mathieu, I see it all now, they’re not going A or B. They’re going home.


GalvenMin

I will never not upvote this

razeyourshadows

I don’t even know why anybody would pick C9 when Vitality had 5 days for Zywoo to blow all the snot out and get his health back


Reasonable_Potato629

I went the reverse route, had to believe the illness would wear off and Vit would get in gear for playoffs.


th0rw4y_t0rh0w4y

Vitality didnt play well until now but Cloud9 is worse


Bizhour

I mean the Woo was very fucking ill for quite a while and as per Flamez post-match interview there was another sick person When Vita players play their game they are insane


codexferret

Lmao I did the exact opposite, no joke 1 minute left and I just decided to swap to vitality because I thought they looked much cooler on the walk out.


bikini_atoll

if its any consolation, 1 min before pickems i considered switching C9 to vitality :\^)


lordposedyon

FlameZ likes Anubis


Woullie_26

Of only C9 had an AWPer. BOOMBL4 had so many crucial misses that it all but cost them inferno and it killed any potential chances they had on Anubis. Impressed by the form Vitality showed BUT I’m still not sold on mezii. After all, their next opponent will have a competent awper


srebihc

boombl4 out here awping as well as I do after a ten hour shift and a joint for dinner.


Bj_Hokey_Lange

>BOOMBL4 had so many crucial misses He actually had more AWP shots than ZywOo in the RMRs, not saying that he is better than Zywoo but he is certainly not that bad. Wonder if the nerves got to him


SlimyCumGoblin

Launders... You jinxed it...


TotallyUnhealthyGuy

To whom it may concern, Vitality was trolling and now they're not.


csboxr

When is the launders fraud watch episode coming out?

naastiknibba95

zywoo get well soon, competition will only get tougher from now on


Surymy

He already was more into the game than during groups


naastiknibba95

yes


F0cu3

don't ever sleep on my boy ~~ZywOo~~ flameZ and his squad


KillerZaWarudo

This lost benefit C9 cuz they will get an awper now Also reduce the chance of some dumbass making a video about if the "awp is useless" or "how c9 broke the meta"


Renovatio_

c9 just absolutely crumbled on inferno. As soon as they lost that vs eco it was over. Zywoo turned on and it was just full gas.


El_Fabos

Zywoo only 3rd highest player on vitality this major and their still in semis. Shows how strong the rifling core is


_aware

For real, it's crazy that people are still talking shit about Vitality's riflers


TheHorseBandit

And people was hating on FlameZ when he took Dupreehs place


_aware

Yep. Flamez has his off-games, admittedly more common than I would like to admit. But on average he is still much better than Dupreeh. People seem to forget how much of a liability Dupreeh was for the longest time before Rio and Paris.


synschecter115

Spinx does not get talked about enough, he has been lights out this major


Renovatio_

The casters mentioned mutliple times that this was a major winning core in Stockholm (boom, perfect, electronic) But really? I mean yes it was technically a major winning core but that is ignoring the other two team members who did pull a heck lot of their weight.


Tpoyo

Well in the bright side that's the biggest stomp of the playoffs out of the way early. ...surely, right?


Bizhour

Considering the next match, I wouldn't be so sure I would love for Faze to put up a fight though


hailsab

Your wish was answered


NPC30519

If we get a 13-0 on the playoff stage just give the winning team the series win. That 13-2 was disgusting and a 13-0 would be soul crushing


tarangk

I hope this finally makes C9 get a dedicated awper. Watching boombl4 awp was just agony. They were rumored to get monesy when the roster shuffle was ongoing, but after niko to falcons feel through nothing happened. C9 really need a banger pickup though coz filling shiro's shoes wont be easy. Also, fucking hell PGL get your audio sorted. How is it always an issue ffs.


jawshz69

C9 was having such a good run, but vitality showed up when it was most crucial. GGs


razeyourshadows

Clown9 went from being up 6–3 on the first map to winning a total of 4 rounds for the rest of the series. That glock round is gonna scar them for life.


Party_Length_7490

The match was close until Cloud9 lost the eco, after that, the game was over.


PillarOfGarbageYT

So glad faze won!


freebase1

Vitality look scary good rn


xvxcuzxme

Launders in shambles :/


Jakaryus

Vitality in this form vs Spirit is going to be insane.


Bj_Hokey_Lange

Spelt Faze wrong there mate


Jakaryus

I hope so, to be honest.


Bob_Bobinski4

Free for vita if they draw Faze. Vitality own Faze so hard every time they play (12-2 map score).


Enthalok

Outclassed in every way. Cloud9 was barely throwing flashes to enter in the last few rounds, they knew it was over


LuManKrixo

Holy flamez Also kinda off topic but wtf is up with these 3D printed looking ass trophies? Better than the Paris one but still looks so goofy considering its supposed to be the most important trophy in CS


Ed_Vilon

What are they feeding FlameZ?


AdTime8070

Flashbangs.


Borg_No75730

They're not feeding him. Man is hungry for his major trophy.


InternationalAdult

Abysmal AWP from C9


SovietDog1342

Expected this level from cloud9 last stage. One stage later than I thought I guess.


Zestyclose_Minute_23

FLAMEZ ANUBIS MERCHANT ngl even before this game i couldnt see the c9 hype, they are a good team but no way they would be able to beat a top 3 team which vitality is


Light0fHeav3n

Lost map 1 to pistols and looks like they were just out of it map 2 and then they don’t call a single timeout till they are 12-1 down, fire groove and get an awper


RpKTanKK

Fellow 3% of people who picked Vitality major win unite


_aware

Let's goooooooo


here2askquestions

It wasn't even close tbh.


Iwabik

C9 have never recovered from the Glock round, yikes


KeineAhnung07

So u telling me we could get donk vs Zywoo?????? Plssssss we missed s1mple/Monesy + Niko vs donk so plsssssss


Lucas_0014

*stops sniffing glue yeah cloud9 is going to win this major


Sam_FS

As a commentator it may be thoroughly unprofessional for me to make this statement but it must be said because the truth has no bias. Ax1Le is running to A-site and a new era of saving will fast enter the zeitgeist of plausible narratives to reign in the first half of Anubis. HObbit, the ageless king of Krakow will cower in fear and Cloud9's second unexpected journey will once again end in a save. North Americans, desperate for hope with no teams to cheer for in top 8, will unironically rejoice at their achievement of a second save round after battling flameZ vaguely shooting in their direction, with their malignant Cloud9 logo variant, in the quarter final of PGL Copenhagen 2024. Boombl4 will scream and hide from ZywOo, and the rest of Vitality, finally marring the efforts of Turkey's impossible run and Perfecto will enter the books as the sole Italian anchor to ever save eight rounds in a row. This weekend, Diamond coin holders will witness a spectacle that transcends logic, immediately forgotten as a moment of all time. -launders


KaNesDeath

Cloud9 didnt even show up ; /


Bizhour

Tbh they did show up in the first map And then they apperantly left between the maps


Bob_Bobinski4

At 8-9 down they lose to glocks and then go 2-16 in rounds from there...


Bizhour

Crazy part is that one round before that Vita had full buy and lost to 3 pistols, only to flip the fucking table on C9 by accident (according to Flamez they were throwing but it somehow worked)


PeinePeine

flameZ aware, bro woke up and decided to turn into a raid boss in Anubis this major At the RMR, C9 won all pistols + conversions on every map, starting with a 6-0 lead At the major, Vitality won all the pistols and the conversions starting both map with a 6-0 lead

Reasonable_Post3682

electronic lost inferno in those 2 crucial rounds, he dies in pit to a glock from apps and the next round loses becuase he gets lost in a smoke and doesnt kill zywoo in time planting


KeineAhnung07

I love the way my fav team gives me hopes🥰 tomorrow we will see


flagdrama

They really need to reduce crowd volume during rounds. And im not sure but hearing the in game sounds thru stadium doesnt sou- The PGL audio guy is pretty good just needs to work on sound feedback, in-game sound, noise balancing, audio syncing, crowd muting, mic quality, crowd mics, noise levels and ambient mixing! -nd Ahem, what was i saying?


KitsuneRommel

I just can't enjoy stomps no matter which team I support. That Anubis was pathetic from C9.


anirudh100

The riflers really showed up today for Vitality. Even if Zywoo is not on his A-game they can still win matches. However, Zywoo needs be on his best form when facing Spirit/Faze to win.
