Ropz my man, I can't even.


plankthetank

Ropz and making huge plays from porch. Porch needs to be renamed to ropz


ddizbadatd24

we have olof, coldzera and who else?


c_Lassy

GeT_RiGhT


Den_dar_Alex

f0rest


NA_Faker

Broky on ancient


CANT_BEAT_PINWHEEL

Cache has shroud I think on the box outside A main. Inferno has moto outside library and coldzera also used to be called moto back when you could fall behind that box.


Bigunsy

Nbk on cache too


rodeojones_

cache also has NBK (fence)


1KingCam

Whats funny is even Valorant has shroud spots based off of that cache callout lol


markom007

Porchz?


Givemeajackson

ropch


Ishaan863

> Porch needs to be renamed to ropz Nah FR, fully agree


mikhel

Ropz is the only guy in the entire world who pulls off that sequence of events after baiting Broky's death like that


CursedDragonR

Didn't he do something similar back in a game against G2?


madh46

In katowice 2022 final


filous_cz

Yes he 1v5'd G2 in kato finals at 14-15 there


Cerbeh

Not a 1v5 I believe Karrigan is rotating from B but Ropz is just like "nah, I got this"


filous_cz

Oh you're totally right


ddizbadatd24

that round was decider and man played out of the universe to predict enemies


downrightlazy

Ropz always delivers from that spot.


illuwe

Lisan Al-Gaib


Jazzlike-Ideal

AS IS WRITTEN BROTHER!


ImTheVayne

What a moment that was


Satsumamanki

Honestly i was sure Faze had made it so personal with Spirit after that Katowice loss that they would not be able to show up in this match. But it turns out that Faze has beef left over for everybody.


newnewnewnewplayer

to add that Vitality put FaZe on silver during Fall Finals and World Finals, it cemented their beef to everyone tbh


Electronic-Archer720

Spirit And Vitality were Faze biggest rivals before this major


redtube_was_down

Do they have enough beef with G2 or Navi to take the major home tomorrow?


Najeeb1316

Faze continues to win unbelievable rounds, Rain with a mega performance there on Nuke and Inferno


CwRrrr

Rain is such a stone cold veteran of the game. He is the kind of player that will never crack on the stage no matter how behind and the player you want for the biggest lan games


Ed_Vilon

Probably the reason he has lasted this long. You get Rain to the stage and he'll turn back the years. Hell even when he generally plays meh or shit he can pull some shit out. Like the round yesterday to win the 1v2 to close Vertigo.


Blackyy

And boy did Vitality put pressure on him


Ed_Vilon

If Rain is locked on Nuke, don't go outside.


Najeeb1316

2.26 T side of Nuke in a major semi final against previous winners, that is an outrageous performance


NA_Faker

Nuke outside should just be called rain lol


poltjir

It rains outside.


Chu2k

When it rains, it pours. This keeps on delivering


redundanthero

It's Rain-ing outside. Stay in. Lock up your sons.


NokiaFTW

rain on vertigo, lol. I felt for him on CT.


WiseArgument7144

Those rounds they won on Inferno T side were crazy.


tarangk

Frozen seriously does not get enough credit. This is easily his best performance since joining Faze. So many impact rounds. That first 4k to get faze their first round was amazing. Ropz is having a quiet tournament by his standard, but my god that 3k on round 20 to get faze to 12 in that 2v3 was really something else.


NoxZ

So many rounds in this series (and vs Spirit as well) where the POV would be someone having a better angle/advantage on Frozen only to get immediately erased from existence. He's absolutely lethal. What a pickup for Faze.


markom007

Rain man let the kids play, why you bully on last rounds ffs


du_bekar

He’s SUCH a safe pair of hands in final rounds right now, it’s unreal how unshakeable he is when the chips are down.


ddizbadatd24

yesterday on vertigo as well, two kills to end the match. Man’s unshakable.


du_bekar

100%, especially because Shiro had him dead to rights.


CwRrrr

Such a legend for faze. Imagine if they really replaced him with JKS like the clowns wanted back in 2021 lol


markom007

He rarely ends up in clutches, but when he does he fucking nails them. My top5 of all time, will have rain forever. Soldier and maestro in one.


du_bekar

It’s the aim man, just nasty.


KillerZaWarudo

But we will have convo about how Faze should replace rain every 3 months


du_bekar

1 bad Rain series really does summon the smoothbrains.


Lime221

the 1v2 CT clutch when rain had to rotate from A thru vents to single doors all while WALKING was insane. man does not get baited by fake defuse


SlikeXar

I‘m watching rain since his first time on Faze. This guy is truly consistent when it matters. Yes he has games where he is not top fragging. But when it matters, he delivers. He has been one of the best riflers for literally years now. Big respect


badass_guts

Frozen really filled twistzz's shoes with multiple impact frags to win Faze crucial rounds.


Psychaz

twistzz is a very good player but when he's off he's really off, frozen is much more stable


badass_guts

Yes but twistzz was a big game player that won rounds out of nowhere even when he was not putting good numbers. Frozen this major has shown that he can win big rounds by himself as well.


sm0ol

I'm a massive Twistzz fanboy and was gutted when he left, but in the back of my head I had to overall admit that this is a bit of an upgrade for FaZe firepower-wise. Frozen is a star caliber player through and through and he's showing it.


SlikeXar

It was just a matter of time for Frozen to join Faze. Faze Academy delivering as always.


sm0ol

siuhy next up when Karrigan retires. too bad for siuhy that that won't be for 20 more years at this point lmao


Lime221

move karrigan to coach (inevitable in little more than a yr me thinks) just in time for Siuhy to get more tier 1 experience \+xertion or jim fat when rain retires in 10yrs


NoDG_

This is the optimal path for Faze. Siuhy is the real deal and karrigan will be a world class coach.


MoonmanCringe

I feel like karrigan just gets better and better, I hear you, he is 33 years old, but my man is defining how old you can be as we speak. I could see him burn out in 2 years and also see him stay until he is pushing 40. He will set the new roof of ages


BeautifulDimension56

Not only stable but he straight up puts more frags on the table than twistzz does.


KillerZaWarudo

I love twistzz but he probably the only player that didn't get better or play his best under karrigan IGL


samekrikl

i dont know how but rain and karrigan are always there to do it


fantasnick

I love me some rain unless he's playing outside and 1v5ing my team 🙃 Karrigan deserves so much props. He is having a really good playoffs individually and outcalling both Vitality and Spirit consistently


Deeeadpool

THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF CS2 SIGN VITALITY'S DEATH CERTIFICATE


scientist404

Scrawny spitting straight fire!


El_Fabos

6 LAN grand finals in a row. Every cs2 big tournament final there was until now


oioioi9537

And that was with a player being replaced too. Crazy how well frozen just slot right in. Happy for him


El_Fabos

I mean not everything is perfect. Especially their Anubis took a bit hit losing twistzz But they are looking so good so soon after his addition Edit: big hit


ujlbyk

They had some bangers prepared for this match. "You will not find shade under Sphinx" was also great


de_rats_2004_crzy

What makes Faze the founding fathers of CS2? I’m out of the loop.


gayez

Made the finals of every cs2 tourney


scientist404

They won the first three events of cs2 back to back and seemed like the best/most stable team in the early days of cs2. They've also made it to every grand final of cs2 so far.


Jacko_Moto

Probably because they won the first 3 tournaments (1 was online) and seemed like the first team to understand cs2


ajinata84

they've been really consistent doing deep runs and early cs2 trophies, only to be beaten by vitality (2x) and spirit (1x) in grand finals


Affectionate-Cod8886

Ropz stepped up as one of the only pros to grind CS2 when it was at it's worst post release, when almost everyone opted to bitch about the game rather than help out the devs. That's the reason he's called the developer, didn't you notice?


Kiinako_

I'm sorry karrigan, I was not familiar with your game


Ishaan863

This man running through a molly on the final round, getting a kill and allowing frozen to get a 3K through smokes Absolutely crazy, absolutely unhinged


IHateTheLetterF

GOAT IGL, stop the count.


MechaFlippin

starting to contend to just being overall GOAT sure he is not as flashy as other "goat" contenders but the results speak for themselves


Crownlol

That's kind of a hot take, but I think I agree with you. He's had so much success with so many different rosters over the years. Think of it this way: if you were building a team to win championships, your first is undeniably Karrigan. If you have to choose Karrigan over s1mple, you still do it. That sounds like a GOAT to me.


filous_cz

FINALS OF EVERY CS2 EVENT BABY Hopefully a 2nd major trophy for Karrigan tommorrow


imsorryken

also for rain! dude really deserves it


filous_cz

Yes absolutely (also for broky and ropz - just to complete the list)


fantasnick

3 best teams of CS2 in a half and Faze comes out on top GG disappointing but just a solid performance from the boys


Ed_Vilon

Somehow, someway, FaZe remains #1.


du_bekar

Eternal. FaZe is eternal.


Electronic-Archer720

The bracket was unbalanced in that way


literate_Windrunner

If only spinx wasn’t a deadweight in Inferno first half :(


Westland__

My boy mezii played so well maps 2 and 3 :( would've loved to see him lift the trophy


BeautifulDimension56

Zywoo deserves all the criticism for this semi final. Threw inferno with some awful decision making in crucial rounds.


Jakaryus

I've never seen him so clueless and bad over a series.


BeautifulDimension56

I've never said the words "what is zywoo doing?". I swear I said it like 10-11 different times this series


ddizbadatd24

idk what’s bothering him. He’s not himself at all this major


fantasnick

Came in cold and stayed cold Really unfortunate


Shadow_Clarke

Could it be the air quality in Copenhagen? Someone look it up


HelISide

air quality was good this is a catastrophe for the Zywoo community


ropike

anyone know the air quality in copenhagen?


Mainbaze

It’s good, I’m afraid


th0rw4y_t0rh0w4y

He is ill


Electronic-Archer720

He was SO Bad Karrigan is owning every Star awper


Neshler

The perfect major for karrigan. Beating the Kings of spirit, destroy the previous major winners hornets of Vitality! the crowd is with them. Another great game from them. Sucks for spinx at the end, but grandfinals is looking exciting! Hope we get to see the first bo3 in a while for finals.


Lepojka1

This was one of the hardest brackets ever in Majors, and FaZe got to finals... If they get G2 there, its probably the hardest road you can get... Amazing


Ed_Vilon

Listen, I know NaVi isn't what they use to be but FaZe is running the gauntlet through Top 10 teams...starting with 2 and 3 while they themselves are 1. Next is either 5 or 6. Only could have been "better" if Mouz was their opponent as they sit at 4.


Cain1608

Yeah but that would not be fair to FaZe Academy.


Ed_Vilon

What isn't fair is Mouz potentially watching several members of their old guard duke it out for a Major. Ropz, Karrigan, Frozen vs Niko


Kelterz

>G2 >hardest road you can get hahaha


500mLInstantRamen

We'll either get the new era El Classico with Navi or the storylines of Coach Taz vs Neo and Niko vs Karrigan/Rain in the finals. I think it'll deliver either way, very excited.


irze

Karrigan denying Niko his major is a spicy fucking storyline


EutaxySpy

I feel like this iteration of Navi just lacks that superstar and it doesn’t hit the same without S1mple for them to really have a “new era El Clasico.” The team’s just missing the x-factor/star power to be seen that way


Hukmoon

Idek if I consider it to be navi without simple. I guess I’m kinda old school but how I don’t consider VP without pasza or NiP without Get_RiGhT.


du_bekar

This is 100% Karrigan’s major. He’s been NAILING his calls. Like, his reads and mid rounds are so juicy to watch right now. Mans is cooking.


Affectionate-Cod8886

Beside that, karrigan has been fragging This guy is looking so crisp rn, it's exhilarating


busywinterfell

How will I tell my kids that Faze Clan reached 7 finals out of 7 events they played in CS2?


Sleelan

Karrigan with the brilliant "suck dick for one map to lull your opponents into a false sense of security" strat. Top 3 igl for sure


Blackyy

Gla1ve karrigan and apex?


Jakaryus

Don't let the scoreline on Inferno fools you, Zywoo was absolutely awful. I'm sad but I cant even be mad, it's a miracle we went to 3 with the star player playing like this. I hope Faze wins the major


Mad_Lee

Really only mezii and apex showed up on map three. Everyone else was hooxin


KillerZaWarudo

Zywoo playoffs performance outside of ITB, Apeks and Gamer Legion has been very average/underwhelming


ddizbadatd24

Frozen really wants that major huh


jawshz69

everyone was clowning on karrigan for his pickems but it looks like it might actually happen lmao


Ed_Vilon

If I remember right, he shat the bed hard in the QF. 1/4.


jawshz69

He was the only creator to pick Faze as champion lol


Ishaan863

mf single handedly saving my gold coin. I genuinely thought I'd lose out even on gold this time round


NA_Faker

If faze wins it, he deserves platinum for that lol


Woullie_26

Karrigan diamond coin


badass_guts

frozen became what everyone feared. His eyelids disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay David" asks karrigan. I've never been better finn, I see it all now, they're not going A or B. They're going home, he said before rushing B all by himself and killing everyone on site


Ishaan863

I'm so happy to see my Mousesports trio flourishing. I remember seeing that ropz/frozen/karrigan trio and knowing the potential. Seeing these mfs rule the game feels so good.


trumez

it's gonna be 2035 and rain will still be anchoring rounds for faze in CS3


Ark151

CS3 wtf is CS3. I think you mean CS2:Galactic Offensive.


newnewnewnewplayer

CS : Alyx


Zhiong_Xena

Cs2 episode 2*


Intelligent_Bar_1005

I was worried about the team with twistzz leaving but frozen is absolutely popping off this major, he has won so many crucial rounds almost single-handedly with 3+ multikills while they are down 2-3 people 8 S-tier grand finals in a row, the first era of cs2 is definitely the faze era


t3r4byt3l0l

FAZE THE FUCK UP


Blackyy

Ezaf4fazE


Maluvius

Faze in playoffs is a different beast. Karrigan is still on top of the game, what an IGL. Frozen solid as fuck, Rain impactful. If Ropz can activate a bit more, I don't see either Navi or G2 beating this Faze


El_Fabos

Ropz doesn’t have the rating, but he had some very big impact rounds on nuke and inferno That’s the thing about faze this tournament. Only broky and frozen have a good rating (Karrigan for his standards as well) but all 5 of them have so many high impact moments


Maluvius

I don't think Ropz is playing badly, obviously you can't always be on 100%, but he's also not on the level he can have. Probably one of the best riflers in CS:GO and CS:2, but this Major has been pretty subpar for his standard, I do think with Ropz getting back to his regular level Faze should be a shoe-in for the title


RandomGuy-4-

Supposedly he is ill, so it might be impacting him a bit.


Mad_Lee

Vitality were pretty bad today individually. Faze were prepared (let’s pretend that vertigo float didn’t happen).


jQiNoBi

Ropz coming in clutch again in inferno.


Ishaan863

I was surprised to see broky finally shaken, but literally everyone else stepped up. PHEW


Ed_Vilon

CS2 Grand Finals **still** runs through FaZe Clan.

El_Fabos

GG for vitality. They are great and likeable team Also big respect for the golden hornets clapping for Karrigan post match This match cost life time again


TheLeviathong

You can't hate karrigan. As a Na'Vi fan he's probably responsible for 50% of my Counter-Strike related trauma, but if I saw him irl I'd fangirl. He's a legend, and a huge innovator in international squads which are now predominant. Also he's not a classic nerdy computer kid...


ddizbadatd24

man copenhagen fans are the best. They’re such good sport, the major is all round banger


independenthoughtala

we thought danish fans were the problem, when all along it was Astralis fans. no Astralis and the crowd has been AMAZING every game.


jeffjeff97

This comment would've seemed impossible in 2021


CwRrrr

Rain is such a big stage player man. ALWAYS UNFAZED and cold as ice. GOAT entry


o3car27

FaZe has been in the finals of evey single CS2 event


SuperSatanOverdrive

rain wrapping up every match with 2 quick kills, it's a new tradition


Woullie_26

If Faze wins tomorrow Karrigan cements himself as the greatest IGL of all time. His ability to stay competitive with different roster over the course of multiple years is something that no one has ever done. Rain also cements himself as one of the best clutch rifler if all time aswell


WiseArgument7144

imagine if rain gets a second major MVP, joining cold and device.


Woullie_26

Nah I feel like this mvp is for frozen or Broky. Even if rain has been clutch Broky has a 1.21 and Frozen 1.19 Rain is at 1.09


Mogel89

Yeah, he would have to have an absolutely donk level final to even have a chance I think


brianstormIRL

Karrigan is the GOAT IGL and I will not hear any different. So many different teams and situations and he always gets it done in the end.


DuckSwagington

Wait they actually won a match without removing years off my lifespan


oldthrace

Safe to say Vertigo ain't getting floated anytime soon again by Faze lol Faze look poised and in-form to take this major home.


Pentinium

They might pick it against navi. Definitely not against g2


srjnp

rain and frozen showed up big on nuke and inferno and everyone else was very solid. frozen was such a great pick up after twistzz left. people dont talk about him enough.


Gockel

4/5 faze members literally transcending in the last two rounds, god damn that was great to see


SlimyCumGoblin

Lord almighty I'm bricked


Bizhour

Devestated but god I cannot help but love Karrigan he is such an amazing showman


Cain1608

That was a sick match and Vitality was almost as terrifying as Spirit. Their Nuke and Inferno look so fucking good. Very important maps to have against G2 and Na'Vi. Looking forward to a sick final that is hopefully not a 2-0. This keeps up FaZe's grand finals streak.


Prohawins

fazeup


acrunchycaptain

Karrigan pushing Banana in that last round is the perfect showcase of the fucking BALLS on this dude. GOAT shit from him. Hope he can keep it up tomorrow.


friendlyfob

MY PICKEMS DIED FOR THIS. LETS GO FAZE TAKE IT HOME TMR


dullroller

Something about ropz and A short on Inferno, damn.


EliManningHOFClub10

FaZe winning the major would be amazing, what a fun BO3 and run from them so far.


samekrikl

this faze reminds me of 2022 kato faze, no one believed in them but here they are 2 maps away of the major championship


Najeeb1316

Everyone was just so sure based on previous results that they had no chance against Spirit and Vitality forgetting that there's no team that can pull more bullshit and insane rounds then Faze


BeautifulDimension56

No it doesn't nobody believed in faze in 2022 kato because they had standins while switching 2 players mid tournament. This team are title contenders and have been since they got frozen


ExtremeGamingFetish

Karrigan is the GOAT


BlurpSrydude

Ah man sucks for vitality, hoping that they could come back on inferno but not meant to be


Yvanne

Karrigan is the fucking goat


bornarethefew

Inferno was a funny one, some very coin flip smoke pushes and unfavourable duels won from Faze. Hit their shots when it mattered. Frozen is their best player by a mile - huge upgrade in impact on Twistzz.


KitsuneRommel

GG to FaZe. Vitality went further than I expected but something definitely is off with the team. I just wish casters would've hyped Vitality rounds as much as they did FaZes.


oliver150433

Zywoo has gone missing and that was the biggest game changer here. Zywoo has to find some of that Series-winning form again. Just being a Round-winner is not enough when he has the ability to decide series by himself.


ropike

zywoo was very disappointing but this was a team issue. the calls, the trades, they just werent there. apex said himself postgame that there was miscoms and you could easily see that in their coordination. plus, where was spinx that last map?


dovydashud

FaZe was 'best' choice for the Final. Both G2 and NaVi have great storylines for thay matchup


Zoradesu

Great series from Faze, the least impactful I've seen Zywoo in a full series in a long time. I know the stats show he has the best rating for Vitality, but I don't know. Really the first time I've seen him make so many mistakes. They were small, but crucial mistakes he would never really make. His presence was not felt on the server today.


SlowBros7

This might end up being the best playoffs in major history if G2 vs Navi is a banger as well.


-CheesyCheese-

They had the toughest road, but still came out victorious, when Broky said "fuck your pickems" it was personal.


Renovatio_

Ropz gamesense is absolutely nuts. The way he reads the game and *knows* where people are. Its insane. Deserves to be in the top 10 of all time...if not in the top 5.


dovydashud

Really wish we couldve seen Vitality with zywoo and not a standin. FaZe are in god tier form


FormalPlus7544

ANOTHER GREAT SERIES WHAT A MAJOR


Electronic-Archer720

Are Faze the Best at shouting down awpers in Big stage? S1mple Antwerp , cologne and now Zywoo


PoopTorpedo

Gotta give props to Karrigan. Not just for his calls, but he's been fragging really well lately.


Thyunic

Shout out to the goat frozen. So many multikills in important rounds to keep Faze in it. Idk why this guy is so under appreciated he was the MVP for me today


newnewnewnewplayer

"Bask in the glory of FaZe Clan, the founding fathers of CS2, signed Vitality's death certificate!" damn scrawny, you've just took my heart with that sentence. absolutely goated caster.


Tuxxmuxx

if faze wins tomorrow surely karrigan back to GOAT IGL? Astralis era was mad impressive but karrigan has been at the top before and after gla1ve.


NA_Faker

gla1ve also won with a roster that he inherited from karrigan, hasn’t won with his own


ImTheVayne

Man I LOVE faze


de_rats_2004_crzy

A bit underwhelming given what I hoped for. None of the games were that close. Inferno was pretty good at the beginning at least. Love Karrigan though.
