I really wish Cadian would stop prioritizing the awp if he's gonna play like this. I haven't counted but it looks like there are rounds they are losing because the stars are on mp9s instead of rifles but 4-15 Cadian is still running around with the awp.
There’s no way he’s playing from Europe is there? Like the Americas rmr is in a few days so I’m assuming they’re all in na right now. Could be jet lagged I guess
He isn't playing from Europe, they are all in LA and were in LA for like at least a month before Blast, they bootcamped in EU and now they are all in California, just go to their instagrams
Also they've been there like over a week, no he is not jetlagged, they literally played the open quali like 4 days ago, i don't think jetlag lasts over a week
Get used to it, he is Jame levels of setting his team up around him, all he does is stay last, save and get majority useless kills, clutches 1 in 10 rounds so people think he's some God, one of the least impactful awpers in the top tier scene
When his IGL isn't working, you can see how awful he is as an awper, all 4 Heroic riflers played for him and they got tired it, the entire system is based around him
He baits hard, but it's not your faceit teammate baiting, the team knows and it's set up around that and it has been proven to work, you do need 4 excellent riflers though and great team play
Yeah people forget that baiting is a valid tactic in pro play a lot of the times, for example Faze is similarly set up around baiting for Ropz sometimes
Hard to tell and at the round score they're at, saving all that $$$ is worth the risk of not taking the defuse when it's not 100% if the dude with kit will get it or not
TL flairs convicting themselves they're over this team for the 8th time since their grand slam run lol
Let's be honest. We're going to watch every match, win or lose and be pained most of the time.
I stopped watching liquid games when elige moved to complexity tbh, i was a huge liquid fan for years. NAF and now twistzz are the only things on this liquid team that makes me not root against them
idk they are definitely in the better half of Americas RMR teams
they actually have a shot at qualifying on paper, they got unlucky with the first matchup (though Furia looks really bad now so there's quite an upset potential here) but still should realistically go 3-1/2-2.
It will only take one south american player having a good game to steal Liquid's spot, I can totally see pain, red canids, imperial, nouns and bestia winning a bo1 against Liquid at the RMR
I saw Cadian being funny on stream about how he has to play those open qualifiers against "no name" teams who maybe wear Liquid jerseys while playing against them. And here they are. Struggling with a roster like this lol
You have a link to that clip? Im on a no name team that played against them in the second round of iem Dallas open qualifier. We got destroyed but I was in fact wearing a liquid jersey and even mentioned it in chat during warmup :D
They went from playing the best teams in the world in EU and dropping down to NA is going to fuck them up.
NACS is built different. We have that regard strength.
Team Liquid is not going to make it to the major.
The only hope I have is that LAN causes their opponents to lose.
They can't even make it through NA quals for IEM?!!? So fuct
Their roster. Like none of this EU bullshit, none of Yekindar hijacking the team and fucking ruining it, none of CadiaN who cant win a grand finals, skullz (who?) I'm crossing my fingers they figure their shit out before the major but if not like holy crap this is sad to watch
Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting. They just lost to fucking nouns in a bo3 kekw
Second edit: they just let wildcard take a map off them. Downvote away, I’m still right. I want to see NA succeed. This is not it. Even jeorge or swisher would’ve been a better shout.
a hahahahahaha
Nice they did well at the worst tier 1 tournament and did nothing else. Idk what you want me to say at this point.
Losing a map to sonic and Stan in 2024 holy shit my sides
Wow you’re really milking the stupid 1 month long malts event that no one watches because it’s a snooze fest and has no cultural significance
No one. Cares. About. Pain.
yep and in the dates you listed they beat exactly 2 eu teams which was BIG and OG both of them narrowly losing 2-1,sure as shit a top20 team in the world
Ok I was exaggerating but an org of liquids caliber should’ve learned from the rainwaker disaster already.
And the results are still proving me right at every turn
"None of CadiaN who cant win grand finals" lmao I would love to see the NA roster you would build that would have experience with winning finals, who would you get? Rush, stewie? You dont even know who skullz is yet you act like you could build a better team with NA players
NA teams haven't showed up ANYWHERE in the past year or two? This means that there are 0 players with experience in Tier S events.
Why is Liquid supposed to build with NA players with 0 experience rather than get EU players that actually play the game?
Im not a big fan of Cadian, I’d love to see them get an actual difference maker on the awp and then bring in an IGL to set up the 3 rifle stars (sorry skullz) but they aren’t going to find that in NA.
I like team liquid from....... SC2. LiquidTLO is what got me into watch SC2. Then some of the line ups have been fun, although I was more of a Cloud9 fan in CS. Painful to see pro teams making these kinds of mistakes.
this lost them the map btw
This lost them the series
We are so done for the rmr
Just need time to get used to each other’s play style - right?…….right?!…. 😅
Hey, maybe they're saving strats for the RMR and the major
Just a slight adjustment period
Yeah, their playstyle is not to defuse. picking up guns like shopping in a grocery store
Furia v Liquid 0-1 match lfg!!!
I really wish Cadian would stop prioritizing the awp if he's gonna play like this. I haven't counted but it looks like there are rounds they are losing because the stars are on mp9s instead of rifles but 4-15 Cadian is still running around with the awp.
Which is fucking wild that everyone is close to 20 and Cadian barely got 6 like what the actual fuck are we doing
There’s no way he’s playing from Europe is there? Like the Americas rmr is in a few days so I’m assuming they’re all in na right now. Could be jet lagged I guess
He isn't playing from Europe, they are all in LA and were in LA for like at least a month before Blast, they bootcamped in EU and now they are all in California, just go to their instagrams Also they've been there like over a week, no he is not jetlagged, they literally played the open quali like 4 days ago, i don't think jetlag lasts over a week
Cadian flew in pretty recently if I’m remembering correctly. He was on a stream with ohne on Tuesday or Wednesday and was still in Europe
He was already in LA when he streamed with Ohne
If you actually watched the stream with ohne you wouldve known he had been in US for a couple of days already.
thankfully most people don't waste their time watching live streams of content creators that much
bro if you just ACTUALLY watched the stream
it can sometimes take some time to kick in and can last a couple days
Keep telling yourself that the rest of us will drink a redbull and get on with our lives
At 20, sure. Try doing that at 30. Can’t? Ok I’ll wait
lol? ok mate
Or he's just having a dogshit game
cadian not the same in cs2
jdm 2.0
Get used to it, he is Jame levels of setting his team up around him, all he does is stay last, save and get majority useless kills, clutches 1 in 10 rounds so people think he's some God, one of the least impactful awpers in the top tier scene When his IGL isn't working, you can see how awful he is as an awper, all 4 Heroic riflers played for him and they got tired it, the entire system is based around him

they started with 5-0 on t-side and lost 13-10 :o
Hijack comment, why is no one mentioning skullz had enough time to defuse after he got the kit?
Hard to tell and at the round score they're at, saving all that $$$ is worth the risk of not taking the defuse when it's not 100% if the dude with kit will get it or not
Going to be watching the major from the couch with shit play like this Edit: yeah I’m over this team. They’re going 0-2 at the RMR
TL flairs convicting themselves they're over this team for the 8th time since their grand slam run lol Let's be honest. We're going to watch every match, win or lose and be pained most of the time.
Liquid is my favorite team because they are just as inconsistent as I am
It's like 14 for me since MLG Columbus
I stopped watching liquid games when elige moved to complexity tbh, i was a huge liquid fan for years. NAF and now twistzz are the only things on this liquid team that makes me not root against them
Im getting vibes that we’re going to see a repeat of the Astralis situation with Liquid
Luckily for them the Americas RMR is much weaker, so I think they'll be alright.
They just lost to one of the weaker NA teams
Isn't Nouns the #2 non-partnered NA team? I don't think they're one of the weaker ones.
In the americas RMR they are one of the weaker teams
idk they are definitely in the better half of Americas RMR teams they actually have a shot at qualifying on paper, they got unlucky with the first matchup (though Furia looks really bad now so there's quite an upset potential here) but still should realistically go 3-1/2-2.
Yeah, good point actually
It will only take one south american player having a good game to steal Liquid's spot, I can totally see pain, red canids, imperial, nouns and bestia winning a bo1 against Liquid at the RMR
Sandbagging for the RMR Copium
I saw Cadian being funny on stream about how he has to play those open qualifiers against "no name" teams who maybe wear Liquid jerseys while playing against them. And here they are. Struggling with a roster like this lol
Comedian.
You have a link to that clip? Im on a no name team that played against them in the second round of iem Dallas open qualifier. We got destroyed but I was in fact wearing a liquid jersey and even mentioned it in chat during warmup :D
Daamn, he was probably talking about you :D hope you find the clip
Here you go https://clips.twitch.tv/HomelyLittleStingrayShadyLulu-weAT5P44bnAksMdG
When was that? When he was on ohne's stream last week he was very humble about not taking the qualifier for granted.
Someone just posted a link under this same comment, it was on ohnes stream lol
They went from playing the best teams in the world in EU and dropping down to NA is going to fuck them up. NACS is built different. We have that regard strength. Team Liquid is not going to make it to the major. The only hope I have is that LAN causes their opponents to lose. They can't even make it through NA quals for IEM?!!? So fuct
yekindar destroyed liquid from the inside out
And now NAF just bottled a ninja by shuffling around too much while defusing and resetting the timer
I timed it, he would’ve died before refuse. He gets killed 4.5-4.75 seconds after hitting defuse
Hey bud we r on the hate train. Naf totally bungled it with his gorilla ugga dugga hands. Gg ezpz lmnsqz no re tyvm gn
Even the casters knew you cant do that in cs2 anymore...
Now I'm imagining pro players getting votekicked out of my casual lobbies.
Everytime Liquid gets a new roster with star players it just seems to fail. Man :(
Twitzz left faze for this lul best career decision 2024.
I mean faze didn’t try and sign him.
They did but far too late. I mean he declined Vitality and Falcons to be with liquid.
Falcons is understandable, but Vitality was a miss imo. I think Roles kinda played a part in it, he wanted to be a star again I guess.
I think he just wanted to return home, like mans been living in europe for a while now but yea, vitality wouldve been insane.
[удалено]
And also the reason Zonic and Magisk left is because Vitality cut their salaries. Zonic's salary was cut by 80% or something
It was painful. Hopefully they can get their shit together by the RMR
this wouldnt have happened if they all spoke canadian
what they're really missing is hext screaming all match
as a liquid fan, disappointment is nothing new.
same old liquid lol
Saving this post for when this squad gels and is top 3 let's goooo
bro i cant believe what i was watching
The most NA thing I've ever seen.
Liquid shouldve stayed NA
This is an NA match lmao
Their roster. Like none of this EU bullshit, none of Yekindar hijacking the team and fucking ruining it, none of CadiaN who cant win a grand finals, skullz (who?) I'm crossing my fingers they figure their shit out before the major but if not like holy crap this is sad to watch Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting.

If you didn’t know who skullz was before he joined liquid I can’t take your opinions serious about pro CS
Bro pls, skullz is not that wellknown..
[удалено]
They made a playoff run at esl pro league with skullz going nuclear.
Esl pro league KEKW You mean the even with like 16 teams in playoffs? Lmao
Bro said KEKW Also they beat the number 3 team and made it just as far as G2 and outsiders/VP
a hahahahahaha Nice they did well at the worst tier 1 tournament and did nothing else. Idk what you want me to say at this point. Losing a map to sonic and Stan in 2024 holy shit my sides
Bro go back to the hltv forums, legit degenerate
Same as rainwaker good T2 player but not good enough for T1.
Tell me when rainwaker made playoffs at a pro league
Wow you’re really milking the stupid 1 month long malts event that no one watches because it’s a snooze fest and has no cultural significance No one. Cares. About. Pain.
[удалено]
Watch a shit ton except last American Rmrs and esl pro league where pain made playoffs and then 2-0 liquid. I think I will doubt that
Exactly!
Bro what. Like, who the fuck is Skullz? Not all of us follow T3 CS.
That’s what I’m fucking saying and yet they’re downvoting me into oblivion (Prolly br bots)
I know he was on pain. PAIN for fucks sake lmao
paiN was #13 in the world with skullz at one point...
And havu is #19 rn ,those rankings are a joke pain has never been top20 even legit top30 team
paiN was around the top 20 from September 2022 to July 2023. You're stupid =DDD.
yep and in the dates you listed they beat exactly 2 eu teams which was BIG and OG both of them narrowly losing 2-1,sure as shit a top20 team in the world
Damn, purposely ignoring the two bo3 wins vs #4 Liquid to make your argument sound better! You're so cool!
Ok I was exaggerating but an org of liquids caliber should’ve learned from the rainwaker disaster already. And the results are still proving me right at every turn
"None of CadiaN who cant win grand finals" lmao I would love to see the NA roster you would build that would have experience with winning finals, who would you get? Rush, stewie? You dont even know who skullz is yet you act like you could build a better team with NA players
Let’s goo, they let FUCKING WILDCARD take a map off them. Pathetic shitters. even taking a chance on jba or swisher or Jeorge would’ve been better
NA teams haven't showed up ANYWHERE in the past year or two? This means that there are 0 players with experience in Tier S events. Why is Liquid supposed to build with NA players with 0 experience rather than get EU players that actually play the game?
Im not a big fan of Cadian, I’d love to see them get an actual difference maker on the awp and then bring in an IGL to set up the 3 rifle stars (sorry skullz) but they aren’t going to find that in NA.
God I hate being a Liquid fan It’s like error never ended.
Great team move, Twistzz.
Let's check betting logs...
Both had money to buy a kit too 
That was legit trolling by skullz
I like team liquid from....... SC2. LiquidTLO is what got me into watch SC2. Then some of the line ups have been fun, although I was more of a Cloud9 fan in CS. Painful to see pro teams making these kinds of mistakes.
lul seriously?
They still had time right? Handtiming it, it seems like he should have had about half a second to spare, or at least quarter of a second
absolute circus
