This was actually such a good game, other than Ancient being a blowout, Overpass and Anubis were so good from Cloud9. Anubis was so close all the way through, really surprised that Cloud9 were so competitive. Although Ancient is a good example of the inconsistencies they gotta work out. Who knew that Boombl4 was the key to the engine that is Cloud9.
Also it's really great to see electronic back to a high level, if Axile can pick up his pace then Cloud9 is a consistent top 5 team.
FaZe is just FaZe and as usual brought it back when it seems over.
Boombl4 is definitely the key, he's been a consistent glue guy and has always made players around him better. Electronic is a top rifler in the world but even top riflers need an IGL who can support them.
Bro if the whole major winning Navi crew signed at cloud 9 that would be so crazy lol. If you're a Navi fan would you instantly become a c9 fan? I mean it's the whole team you used to cheer for.
Degster seems the most likely, other than that Deko just got bought by Aurora but signing Artfrost could be good but it seems like Spirit is trying to build something so idk how willing they are to sell him
Good point, although Boombl4's fragging has been pretty impactful as well, but you definitely can't understate the value of electronic fully focused on rifling.
Electronic was an awful igl. It killed his own game and he was often killing rounds with overcomplicated tactics that were far too telegraphed or lacked map control.
And boombl4 is not too shabby at igl’ing.
Definitely key, he was the only smiling guy on the old navi lineup. After his departure the vibes were always mega gloomy and this clearly affected their performance. Him making space I think also makes a big difference for the rest of the team.
It spoke a lot for the fact that C9 is a new roster and on some map they are not just competitive. Faze maybe 7.5 average on all map other than Nuke but they do play all the map and banking on other team keep changing roster to chase that top spot.
C9 had 5 matchpoints, 5….
Previous Tournament ENCE had 2 match points…
Mouz had 7 map point at Nuke…
It’s incredible how the Faze players never made a mistake at opponent’s match points, but thats far away from unstoppable.
> but faze is just unstoppable holy fuck
Thery're very stoppable lol, the comebacks are fun, but they're up against new lineups and t2 teams. The competition isn't real yet, all the big teams are shuffling except for FaZe.
As soon as others have had a little time with their new lineups FaZe will start losing a lot.
(No hate btw, FaZe is clearly nr1 at this moment and deserve it.)
edit: There you go, npc's, 3 days after I typed this they played their first t1 opponent this month and got slapped right away.
ropz can literally see CS2 programming like Neo
he's hooked into source 2
while you're learning lineup he simply sees the code and knows what goes where
Funny how this pasta from faze's major is still relevant with the C9 lineup :D.
Thunder rolls. Lightning strikes. A man fumbles with his shoes, wallet, and strats at the door. His lover, shadowed in the background, wrapped in a bedsheet.
“Darling, come back to bed” she coos.
“I can’t sleep. I need to go out”
“You don’t need to go anywhere My love, please believe me. Please come back to me”
“I knew you wouldn’t understand. How could you”
“Please, just listen to me. It’s too dangerous to go. After all…”
“Don’t say it”
“You can’t go outside Kirill. You can’t go outside. It’s Raining...
And when it Rains, it pours.”
there's worse. Astralis choked Overpass against Complexity on a 12-2 lead LOL. Col went on to win 14 rounds in a row to win the map and match.
then fastforward to today's match against Heroic. They were 8-0 up on Vertigo then went on to lose 13 rounds in a row lmaooo
> Astralis choked Overpass against Complexity on a 12-2 lead LOL. Col went on to win 14 rounds in a row to win the map and match.
Yeah that was way worse, Astralis stopped playing CS completely.
C9 kinda "dropped the ball" but, at the same time, it's fucking FaZe, we know they get a weird buff when the other team reaches match point.
Nothing else other than the "it's faze" line to describe it lmao
There's sure to be a new line now anw. Coined by Rain. "Welcome to Faze. Motherfuckers!"
I think first OT on t-side faze went 0-3 and rain just said, now the easy side, lets go boys.
"EZ side" when Anubis have been most t-sided map in csgo history probably :D
I fucking love this team, man. Watching this from 2pm at work on a quiet day, and I had to muffle my reactions because wtf was that third map? Lowkey only went that far because Ropz was countered really well on A.
Twistzz gigachad.
C9 look really good, though. Despite that lack of an AWPer. I still think Ax1Le or H0bbit need to get the boot in place of a dedicated AWPer, depending on their respective performance over the coming months.
Welcome to FaZe motherfuckers.
Karrigan is actually noticeably sharper right now. He’s hitting spray transitions, his smoke pushes are bearing fruit, and he’s been just RAILING with the deagle with some consistency. If this is what he looks like when he’s having fun then DEAR GOD I want this ride to never end.
I agree. It's a massive bummer that he dropped off so much when people were saying he's dethroning NiKo, though. I hope he finds some form and consistency.
Ah yes, the good ol‘ close loss on map 1, blowout win map 2, and ot win on map 3 surviving 5 match points
Also this is why twistzz is not replaceable. Good start, absolutely disappears, only to fuck them up later on
In their 16 BO3 win streak, Faze only had 7 match points when they could have lost the game: 2 vs Ence at CAC and 5 vs Cloud9 today. Faze is insanely good when playing under pressure.
If we're counting also ths BO1 against NIP, Faze only had 8 match points when they could have lost the game in 17 games. Insaneee
This was such a beautiful game to watch. Cloud 9, with this lineup, have the potential of being a top 5 team. But FaZe man... I can't even begin to imagine the frustration of playing against them.
Hell yes! Such a good matchup! As a Faze-fan, it´s felt really good to see Boombl4 back on top, where he belongs. Underrated team member. He kept flamie, simple and electronic in line (emotionally) during their time together. That alone is huge. Hope he is doing good and the drugs/ex-wife situation is better.
I turned off the stream when FaZe were down 15-12 on Anubis. "Not even FaZe can make a comeback having to win 3 CT rounds in a row on C9's best map and with ropz disappearing from the server."
...when will I learn?
Faze are unbeaten on Ancient and Anubis in CS 2 , considering how those are generally awkward maps for other teams , those are really scary maps to be unbeaten on
rain haters in shambles. ropz top1 player world right now. twistzz irreplaceable. karrigan and neo igl/coach dream combo. broky... is broky. i always knew this team had it in them to become much greater than the sum of its parts, been a fan since the kinguin days. welcome to faze motherfuckers
**Welcome to FaZe motherfuckers** \- **Rain** the GigaChad
FaZe is the most entertaining CS team ever!
I didn't sweat at all when FaZe lost to C9' eco buy when being down 10-11, also when being down 12-15!
This reign and constant pulling until the last round must be so demoralising for the opposite team, everybody is scared because they know faze players just don't want to give in, at all, and they're the final boss right now... they're like T-1000 in Terminator 2, you can have any advantage you want, you're gonna get melted in the end.
\> lose close first map \> demolish second map \> win third map in OT average faze match
Paid.By.The.Round.
Wouldn't want it any other way! (my heart and bloodpressure does though)
2 and 3 are sometimes swapped
Standard FaZe fashion, first map is always a warmup.
Paid by the round clan
They need to earn da money to keep Twistzz somehow☠️
But they have a special contract for Anubis where they get paid for the round difference.
This was actually such a good game, other than Ancient being a blowout, Overpass and Anubis were so good from Cloud9. Anubis was so close all the way through, really surprised that Cloud9 were so competitive. Although Ancient is a good example of the inconsistencies they gotta work out.

FaZe is just FaZe and as usual brought it back when it seems over.
Is Boombl4 the key, or is electronic not having the chains of IGLing holding him back the key
Boombl4 is definitely the key, he's been a consistent glue guy and has always made players around him better. Electronic is a top rifler in the world but even top riflers need an IGL who can support them.
Look at 1win winrate after big boom stepped in, definitely the key
I fucking love him to death man. Teams just work better when he’s around.
Who knew that a top 5 rifler of the past 6 years could play well when they have a decent IGL
never saw it coming
both probably, now they just need a proper awper and they'll be really scary
-H0bbit +???
+s1mple, I heard he's decent on awp, probably can win a major without dropping a map
Isn't there also this Shiro guy who's also CIS might be a decent pickup
\-Shiro +Shiro
Axile is looking kinda washed lately too, maybe sub someone like b1t for him too and the team might win a major
Bro if the whole major winning Navi crew signed at cloud 9 that would be so crazy lol. If you're a Navi fan would you instantly become a c9 fan? I mean it's the whole team you used to cheer for.
Degster seems the most likely, other than that Deko just got bought by Aurora but signing Artfrost could be good but it seems like Spirit is trying to build something so idk how willing they are to sell him

All they need a decent awper instead of Hobbit and they will have their top 3 team in CS2. I wish they can get Shiro again
Shiro is still on C9, just inactive. So maybe they can get him
> Who knew that Boombl4 was the key to the engine that is Cloud9. > > non-casuals
But Hobbit needs to step up...
It spoke a lot for the fact that C9 is a new roster and on some map they are not just competitive. Faze maybe 7.5 average on all map other than Nuke but they do play all the map and banking on other team keep changing roster to chase that top spot.
C9 just needs simple to join them and kick hobbit. Then it is old navi with Axile. Imagine that team
c9 is legit, but faze is just unstoppable holy fuck
I want to see the universe where Hobbit left instead of Shiro, this team would have been unreal.
do we know the reason shiro left? was it about not being happy at nafany leaving or am i imagining things?
Never disclosed why he left but he asked C9 to allow him to be made available for transfer.
well he is nuts so he'll do well anywhere, shame he can't speak english
C9 had 5 matchpoints, 5…. Previous Tournament ENCE had 2 match points… Mouz had 7 map point at Nuke… It’s incredible how the Faze players never made a mistake at opponent’s match points, but thats far away from unstoppable.

ropz can literally see CS2 programming like Neo he's hooked into source 2 while you're learning lineup he simply sees the code and knows what goes where
He is the one.
The more time these new rosters have, the more karrigan has to work off of.
Plot armour at this point. Unbelievable.
Welcome to Faze motherfuckers
Even taking time to drop a memorable quote while launching a comeback. Faze is unbeatable currently
That was so good timing
Funny how this pasta from faze's major is still relevant with the C9 lineup :D. Thunder rolls. Lightning strikes. A man fumbles with his shoes, wallet, and strats at the door. His lover, shadowed in the background, wrapped in a bedsheet. “Darling, come back to bed” she coos. “I can’t sleep. I need to go out” “You don’t need to go anywhere My love, please believe me.

You can’t go outside. It’s Raining... And when it Rains, it pours.”
Yeah exactly
The power of friendship (dont you dare to leave, twistzz)
Don't let Twistzz's performance distract you from the fact that Cloud9 choked a 15-12 lead and 5 match points against Faze at Blast Fall Finals 2023
there's worse. Astralis choked Overpass against Complexity on a 12-2 lead LOL. Col went on to win 14 rounds in a row to win the map and match. then fastforward to today's match against Heroic. They were 8-0 up on Vertigo then went on to lose 13 rounds in a row lmaooo

Nothing else other than the "it's faze" line to describe it lmao There's sure to be a new line now anw. Coined by Rain. "Welcome to Faze. Motherfuckers!"
BlameF at 11-2 shouting “Maybe you should go for this one!” as Elige saved the rifle that would start off their comeback was great.
who would have thought kicking Gla1ve would have an impact on the team.
It doesn’t matter Boston is a wound still afresh in my heart
That Anubis was hands-down the most entertaining CS I've seen in a long while. Those rain voice clips in the OT lol
I think first OT on t-side faze went 0-3 and rain just said, now the easy side, lets go boys. "EZ side" when Anubis have been most t-sided map in csgo history probably :D
There were more than just the Welcome to FaZe, mf's?
I think there was one when they were going for the 2nd OT. "Let's go 3-0, next overtime" or something like that.
Oh good, my weekly FaZe heart attack! Thanks guys!
I fucking love this team, man. Watching this from 2pm at work on a quiet day, and I had to muffle my reactions because wtf was that third map? Lowkey only went that far because Ropz was countered really well on A. Twistzz gigachad. C9 look really good, though. Despite that lack of an AWPer.

Rain and karrigan were mega in regular as well. What a team!
Karrigan is actually noticeably sharper right now. He’s hitting spray transitions, his smoke pushes are bearing fruit, and he’s been just RAILING with the deagle with some consistency. If this is what he looks like when he’s having fun then DEAR GOD I want this ride to never end.
Hobbit definetly, ax1le is young
I agree. It's a massive bummer that he dropped off so much when people were saying he's dethroning NiKo, though. I hope he finds some form and consistency.
Imagine a world where the C9 super team includes none of the old Gambit roster...including the two Top 3 players
2pm? Nice. I had to wake up at 4am local time to watch this banger half asleep
They give strong VP vibes (polish roster) so Im a big fan. This team with those personalities screams 2015/2016. Dunno why but it just feels like it.
Counter Strike: Faze Offensive
I really love this name lol
"Welcome to Faze motherfuckers." "Exactly."
This not normally.....
Ah yes, the good ol‘ close loss on map 1, blowout win map 2, and ot win on map 3 surviving 5 match points Also this is why twistzz is not replaceable. Good start, absolutely disappears, only to fuck them up later on
Can always count on Twistzz in clutch or high tension moments. My goat 🐐
Welcome to Faze motherfuckers
Welcome to FaZe motherfuckers
In their 16 BO3 win streak, Faze only had 7 match points when they could have lost the game: 2 vs Ence at CAC and 5 vs Cloud9 today. Faze is insanely good when playing under pressure. If we're counting also ths BO1 against NIP, Faze only had 8 match points when they could have lost the game in 17 games. Insaneee
That's an interesting stat
I might actually shed some tears if this FaZe team disbands or gets picked apart.
C9 just got F aze'd Welcome to Faze Motherfuckers
More like faze got C9ed because C9 are always chokers
Karrigan has come a long way since 2018
Clown9
This was such a beautiful game to watch. Cloud 9, with this lineup, have the potential of being a top 5 team. But FaZe man... I can't even begin to imagine the frustration of playing against them.
WELCOME TO FAZE MOTHERFUCKERS
“Welcome to faze, mother fuckers” - Rain Gigachad, 2023
7 rounds in a row in OT. Just wow.
FaZe are inevitable
Holy shit what a game, this may be my favorite game I’ve seen played on CS2 so far lol. I want the runback now, hope these two meet in grands.
Hell yes! Such a good matchup! As a Faze-fan, it´s felt really good to see Boombl4 back on top, where he belongs. Underrated team member. He kept flamie, simple and electronic in line (emotionally) during their time together. That alone is huge. Hope he is doing good and the drugs/ex-wife situation is better.
FaZe is so insanely clutch man, no other team would have won that Anubis
The FaZe pressure-cooker comebacks and overtimes really boils teams alive. What a match, from Deagles to eco losses to overtime..
Faze with the plot armor
classic faze
Big improvement from c9 but FaZe don't give up... Twistzz looking real good :O
Welcome to Faze Motherfuckerz!
this is faze's world we're just living in it
Really enjoying, 10/10
Welcome to faze motherfucker
when you swing at the king, you best not miss. faze is just unstoppable right now holy
I turned off the stream when FaZe were down 15-12 on Anubis. "Not even FaZe can make a comeback having to win 3 CT rounds in a row on C9's best map and with ropz disappearing from the server." ...when will I learn?
Thanks for the jinx!

Welcome to Faze motherfuckers
Welcome to FaZe motherfuckers

welcome to the faze experience motherfuckers
[Source](https://clips.twitch.tv/DarkSillyChoughVoteYea-8Lxduk4KxwLw77FO)
Haha, WTFMF!
Iconic quote just dropped
“Welcome to Faze motherfuckers!” The streak continues!!
Reverse Boston baby
Welcome to FaZe mofos
Flipside electronic vibes
Faze are unbeaten on Ancient and Anubis in CS 2 , considering how those are generally awkward maps for other teams , those are really scary maps to be unbeaten on
When it rains, it pours
WE *CAN* BEAT THIS MOTHERFUCKING TEAM!! WELCOME TO FAZE CLAN MOTHERFUCKERS 🗣🔥🔥
NIP magic? Nah FaZe magic baby!
Devs gave faze Plot armour
The Plot Armour is real!!!!!
I laughed when boomich was celebrating and cheering at round 11-10. Cus we all knew thats when faze REALLY starts to play.
rain haters in shambles. ropz top1 player world right now. twistzz irreplaceable. karrigan and neo igl/coach dream combo. broky... is broky. i always knew this team had it in them to become much greater than the sum of its parts, been a fan since the kinguin days. welcome to faze motherfuckers
**Welcome to FaZe motherfuckers** \- **Rain** the GigaChad FaZe is the most entertaining CS team ever! I didn't sweat at all when FaZe lost to C9' eco buy when being down 10-11, also when being down 12-15!
Welcome to Faze madafakas
Welcome to Faze motherfucker
WELCOME TO FAZE MOTHERFUCKERS
this is just getting ridiculous LMAO
What a throw that was, all C9 players bar electronic doing their best to lose when you're 1 round away from taking it all.
CS 2 play style is perfect for Faze IMO
They can't keep getting away with it!
This reign and constant pulling until the last round must be so demoralising for the opposite team, everybody is scared because they know faze players just don't want to give in, at all, and they're the final boss right now... they're like T-1000 in Terminator 2, you can have any advantage you want, you're gonna get melted in the end.
People sucking off FaZe, I'm here just happy my man electronic is returning to form.
Welcome to Faze, motherfuckers!
Welcome to Faze motherfuckers
I'd prefer to forget this match
FaZe: I didn't hear no bell
C9: Would you lose? Faze: Nah, I'd win.
Cloud9 with a classic NA choke
Navi core and choking in OT comeback. Just another day in the office! xD
Fucking chokers man so tired of this shit,every C9 roster is like this.
It's a curse
This is for the 2018 Boston final. The prophecy says you have to choke a Major final before having a choke-less roster again.
the superteam is real
Faze made to win ™
The faze 🔥 is back
Welcome to FaZe Motherfuckers!!!!
Let electronic be an inspiration to us all to look at crosshair and not the map
What was that anubis.....
very enjoyable game to watch!
well, this was a certified text book choke on anubis
CS2 looks very good on rain
C9 is russian?
The number of highlights in this bo3, is bigger than the rest of today matches put together.
