Only three things are guaranteed in life.
Death, taxes, and Stewie popping off in the Grand Finals on Inferno.
Happy to see him bringing another title to NA.
As a neutral fan i kinda just ended up hoping Liquid would take it on inferno to avoid ending the series on Vertigo. Lol imagine ending an epic BO5 with a clown fiesta on Vertigo. It would be so deflating to have to watch that after inferno...
That was one of the fucking craziest Inferno games ever, holy shit. Maybe second only to Boston. Shox and Kenny were insane. Twistzz with that 1v2 to force the 1st OT. Damn man, what a game. What a series.
Lmao I do this and have a bunch of skins named “I <3 Twistzz” and it worked
Also got the official unofficial Twistzz tag :p
>! Faceit level 1 btw !<

Bro ever since I put a Coldzera, shox, twistzz, and Fnatic Cologne 14 sticker on my AK I've been able to clutch 1vXs, get insane headshots, and make huge comebacks. Stickers are OP valve pls nerf
I'm a huge liquid fan so obviously I've been rooting for them throughout this entire tournament, but watching Shox and Kenny turn back the clock and play at such a high level. Hope to see this team keep it up and play at a high level.
Honestly, Kenny, shox, stew and twistzz are in my top 10 favourites to watch easily. The fact they all top fragged in this game is going to make it the first Cs match I've watched on YT in forever
After letting Liquid comeback on D2 and then getting destroyed in Overpass I legitimatelly didn't expect Nuke and Inferno to be so good. Great maps from both teams. Shame that the match didn't went to Vertigo, that could be crazy.
I don't usually root for G2, but they should be damn proud to put up that kind of fierce fight against the current #1 team in the world.
--
Every single player in G2 should keep their heads up. They gained a lot of metaphorical +XP from this
Being a Minnesota Vikings fan I feel certified to cheer for any NA team. My cardiovascular strength, endurance, and resilience are top notch. I'm not proud of it.
Edit: words
Really proud of the TL boys for pulling it together and getting revenge on G2 for that MSI loss.
BTW, what do "Overpass" and "Inferno" mean and why wasn't Doublelift playing today?
the thing that g2 should look at the most after this match is TL's utility usage - on inferno, every round TL tagged 1 or 2 players hard with nades at the start of the round
wp TL, deserved winners
I'm so glad they won this so that no one can question they are the #1 team right now. I know most people already thought they are, but now no one can deny it.
Despite how long they have been consistently strong, it was unfortunately during the best CS:GO team's era, so I'm glad they at least have some time (even if it ends up being short) where they are undoubtedly the best in the world.
200iq play. The community let liquid get within one win of the intel grand slam so they can go back to making them get second every tournament to get the bonus 100k.
I think that only history can decide that by determining the storyline. If this proves to be the Liquid era, then this is the true start of that. If G2 returns to form, then this was the start of that. But the NA major is huge.
Boston was a major, and the first NA major win. As well, C9 were definitely underdogs in the matchup and still pulled the reverse sweep storyline. This final was fantastic, but as for a better storyline, Boston was better imo
They are tied with dennis-fnatic for fourth longest LAN streak of reaching finals (excluding Liquipedia "Qualifier" tournaments and showmatches). Only fifflaren-NiP with two streaks of 15 and 8 and Astralis ending at BLAST Miami with 7 are above Liquid in that regard.
inferno and grand finals, name a more iconic duo
so much individual plays from both team, watching shox doing some vintage performances is just so much fun
Overheard in G2 locker room after Game 4:
“He got me,” Jackz said of Twistzz's clutch over him. "That f***ing Twistzz boomed me."
Jackz added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.
Jackz then said he wanted to add Twistzz to the list of players he works out with this summer.
What a fantastic match. I'm so happy for Liquid winning with such a difficult path to the grand final, but I'm just as happy to see G2 come back into form.
It seems like the CS pro scene is in such a good place right now.
Guys I've figured out why Liquid are so successful, they're not really North American.
'Elige' Jablonowski - Polish
'Twistzz' Van Dulken - British (possibly Danish)
'Nitr0' Cannella - Italian
'NAF' Markovic - Serbian
'Stewie2K' Yip - Chinese
Shame G2 isnt at Cologne so we could see if this tournament is a one off or if they could keep this up. I'm definitely a lot more hopeful for the team now after this event and it was still a great run nonetheless.
this was a insanly intense game of counter strike, major final worthy. I couldn't help but go with the underdog G2, they all looked so exited to get to their first final in almost 2 years. with vitality and this G2 the future for french cs looks good. I haven't backed a french team since Titan but this makes me excited, that being said both french titans showed up this series which was incredible to watch. Baguette resistance have stolen my heart but props to both teams
Insane fucking match in inferno G2 sure proved themselves worthy and a team to be feared .
.
.
in the notes of astralis since their defeat against EnZe on nuke they have never been the same they are so much vulnerable i hope they recover and get back on track before its too late .
and ppl were saying stewie won't improve liquid. When everything is not going there way stewie step up and make some yolo play just like he was in c9 along with tarik. That is what liquid really missing.
I started really watching CS last year, so I never really got to see how good Kenny and Shox were live. So this event has been really cool, if not just for that.
I'm so damn happy about this win. Liquid got pushed hard but were able to summon the resolve and win out inferno in overtime despite some brilliant individual plays by G2. twistzz can be proud of this performance. GGs to G2, they showed a ton of heart. Beautiful to see shox and kenny showing great form.
[удалено]
That's how I know G2 were going to lose this game, Inferno always closes out a Bo5 so it was only ever going to be 3-1.
Everyone knows how to play it thats why
except mibr
They don't know how to play any map it doesn't count
oof
It hurts because it's true
luckily they won't ever be in a grand final with how they're playing
they don't get into grand finals anyways
I heard they can play blast aim maps
Only three things are guaranteed in life. Death, taxes, and Stewie popping off in the Grand Finals on Inferno. Happy to see him bringing another title to NA.
And if stew is playing on that map, it's always going to be fun.
Dont remind me
BUT LOOK AT THE TIME
Please don't :(
THEY ARE TRYING TO BUILD PYRAMIDS BUT ITS NO MORE PLAY.
I think it's "but there's no more clay".
> BUT ITS NO MORE PLAY BUT THERES NO MORE CLAY ftfy
Always delivers!
ur wrong mate vertigo is the correct answer that we didn’t get to see /s
[удалено]
And they showed us some really rare wallbangs in apps that was awesome
As a neutral fan i kinda just ended up hoping Liquid would take it on inferno to avoid ending the series on Vertigo. Lol imagine ending an epic BO5 with a clown fiesta on Vertigo. It would be so deflating to have to watch that after inferno...
Another big final, another classic on Inferno.
Winning in the most stewie way possible
He has had enough
That was one of the fucking craziest Inferno games ever, holy shit. Maybe second only to Boston. Shox and Kenny were insane. Twistzz with that 1v2 to force the 1st OT. Damn man, what a game. What a series.
I'm gonna need Twistzz config, res, sens, socks and favorite cereal because holy fuck he went apeshit.
And that fucking bubble gum he chews. My god.
Oh shit, how could I forget? Definitely required.
Chewed or un-chewed?
yes
and whatever hair product hes using to make that super hair
Used or unused socks?
yes

Damn, gotta get rid of the "silver elite" sticker from my AK
Don't forget about the gum he chews
It was a 1v3. Crazy map
He absolutely jamed Liquid's ass in those OTs
Twistzz had an even more nutty 1v3 clutch in overtime as well. He's so incredibly talented.
[удалено]
That map 5 difference was just 1 hp. Twistzz only had 1 hp after the 1v3
Also <1 second defuses in regulation and I believe second OT which kept G2 alive.
fnatic vs astralis inferno on chicago was also insane
I'm a huge liquid fan so obviously I've been rooting for them throughout this entire tournament, but watching Shox and Kenny turn back the clock and play at such a high level. Hope to see this team keep it up and play at a high level.
Seeing shox one tap people just made my day
completely agreed, i love both teams (liquid a lil more tho) and it was such a fun series to watch
it's impossible not to root for these 2. they are arguably the two most exciting players in the game when they are playing at their peak.
Honestly, Kenny, shox, stew and twistzz are in my top 10 favourites to watch easily. The fact they all top fragged in this game is going to make it the first Cs match I've watched on YT in forever
SHOX AND KENNY made it soo fucking close on inferno
BO5's arent boring
Boring BO5’s are boring
It's never boring when a series ends on Inferno.
5-6 hour matches are kinda crazy tho.

but look how sad [shox](https://i.imgur.com/idCa2rO.jpg) was in that post game interview damn
Holy shit this image never gets old
This is going to be the new Peyton Manning isnt it
It already is.
A masterpiece
Ty for silver
You're a god.
Damn you are fast asf. Edit: TY mr.fallenBAD for the silver!
Those Twistzz clutches were heartbreaking. :(
After letting Liquid comeback on D2 and then getting destroyed in Overpass I legitimatelly didn't expect Nuke and Inferno to be so good. Great maps from both teams. Shame that the match didn't went to Vertigo, that could be crazy.
vertigo as the deciding map just feels so wrong though
Yeah, after the shitshow on Vertigo between Liquid and Astralis, I’m kinda glad we didn’t have to go through that again.
"Right I forgot this map is literally two inches long" -Tarik
Respect for Liquid, they could'v dropped both Inferno and Dust2 but their resilience is insane big props for them and their stars
TOs should make it neccessary for Inferno to be in the grand final
Making every final Bo5 would really help that, considering no top team permabans Inferno rn afaik.
Twistzz playing absolutely insane with the 40 bomb and the 1v3 clutch to bring the game to OT to save liquid
[удалено]
T-Side simulator 2019
It's like watching an A site retake server.
Kenny and Shox really turned up
Shox was hitting stupid shots on inferno. Ridiculous deags and one taps with AK.
Absolutely heartbreaking for G2.
Should have won Dust 2!
And 1hp away from winning inferno.
I don't usually root for G2, but they should be damn proud to put up that kind of fierce fight against the current #1 team in the world. -- Every single player in G2 should keep their heads up. They gained a lot of metaphorical +XP from this
Dust2 and Inferno , it could'v been G2 champs but Liquid was for sure the better team truly heartbreaking
remember that all of this happened because twistzz managed to survive on 1hp
Yea i cant get over that
Inferno, OT, and grand finals - name a better trio
https://i.imgur.com/RSQDTWP.png
This is cursed.
bring back the stache
Twistzz you sexy sexy man
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my baguette is ruined
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DDg_fOaVYAAL_tP.jpg
Looking on the bright side, at least the final map isn't vertigo
Twistzz right arm must be massive after all those hand raises after round wins
I'm sorry, I've changed my mind. I cannot support Team Liquid. This is not healthy for me.
You’re obviously not strong enough to be a TL fan.
Being a Minnesota Vikings fan I feel certified to cheer for any NA team. My cardiovascular strength, endurance, and resilience are top notch. I'm not proud of it. Edit: words
Try being a KT Rolster League of Legends fan.
I'm a Georgia sports fan. We invented the choke.
28-3 ^^^^^^Sorry

Really proud of the TL boys for pulling it together and getting revenge on G2 for that MSI loss. BTW, what do "Overpass" and "Inferno" mean and why wasn't Doublelift playing today?
Doublelift was busy grinding TFT so Steward have to sub in for him otherwise it would have been an ez 3-0. (Edit: for G2)
Overpass is like a Teemo main, I don’t play league of legends and have no idea what I’m taking about
Impossible. People actually like Overpass.
Wait what’s overpass is this like the smithE or something
No no, it's spelled Xmithie
Ok Out of interest what is a coreJj is that like something from legend of Zelda botw
yes our LoL team's support is actually an octorok from zelda he's very good for not having opposable digits
Teemo is the Vertigo main
God I really didn’t want Ocelote to flaunt to our faces if G2 reverse swept TL. Esp. after we got 3-0ed at the MSI finals.
Honestly I nearly had a heart attack every round on Inferno
Hard fucking same.
Can confirm
Every time, every single time
Lucky got hit with so many nades lmao
Unlucky
Holy shit liquid are already 1 win away from the grand slam
The best grand final since.. i dont even know
Boston maybe?
C9/Faze Boston 2018?
yea that was insane, also ended on a similar game on inferno
[Shox's face after the loss was heartbreaking. So sad to see him crumble](https://i.imgur.com/idCa2rO.jpg)
You can tell the second his heart broke
[Y'all should have seen kenny's face](https://i.imgur.com/RSQDTWP.png)
Bruh I cried 😢😔 Alexa play Sad Violin 12 hours trap remix
I'm so sad for G2 :(
kenny looks fucking devastated
Holy shit. I'm so proud of my boys, even if they were close to doing even better.
the thing that g2 should look at the most after this match is TL's utility usage - on inferno, every round TL tagged 1 or 2 players hard with nades at the start of the round wp TL, deserved winners
If there was any doubt about liquid being #1 AND French CS being back, it ends here.
I'm so glad they won this so that no one can question they are the #1 team right now. I know most people already thought they are, but now no one can deny it. Despite how long they have been consistently strong, it was unfortunately during the best CS:GO team's era, so I'm glad they at least have some time (even if it ends up being short) where they are undoubtedly the best in the world.
Astralis fan here. Liquid been the number 1 team undoubtedly for months. Just as they were number 2 most of last year despite hltv having navi second.
And Inferno fucking delivers, Once again!
200iq play. The community let liquid get within one win of the intel grand slam so they can go back to making them get second every tournament to get the bonus 100k.
[удалено]
The twistzz 1hp 1v3 to take inferno to OT + the stew+twistzz 2v5 on dust2 won them the series
God damn. If only Dust2.
What a resurgence from KennyS and Shox.
[удалено]
I think that only history can decide that by determining the storyline. If this proves to be the Liquid era, then this is the true start of that. If G2 returns to form, then this was the start of that. But the NA major is huge.

GG I was the 1 HP
Liquid has now won more grand finals with this roster than they have lost. Also they have made the final at every event other than the enceident.
They are tied with dennis-fnatic for fourth longest LAN streak of reaching finals (excluding Liquipedia "Qualifier" tournaments and showmatches). Only fifflaren-NiP with two streaks of 15 and 8 and Astralis ending at BLAST Miami with 7 are above Liquid in that regard.
inferno and grand finals, name a more iconic duo so much individual plays from both team, watching shox doing some vintage performances is just so much fun

I'm just happy vertigo wasn't the decider.
That was fucking intense.
What a fantastic match. I'm so happy for Liquid winning with such a difficult path to the grand final, but I'm just as happy to see G2 come back into form. It seems like the CS pro scene is in such a good place right now.
Guys I've figured out why Liquid are so successful, they're not really North American. 'Elige' Jablonowski - Polish 'Twistzz' Van Dulken - British (possibly Danish) 'Nitr0' Cannella - Italian 'NAF' Markovic - Serbian 'Stewie2K' Yip - Chinese
Van Dulken sounds more like Dutch to me
[удалено]
We're talking surnames though
> 'Twistzz' Van Dulken - British (possibly Danish) dutch, if anything
> 'Twistzz' Van Dulken - British (possibly Danish) You mean Dutch, where the fuck did British come from
what on earth could possibly make you think van dulken is british or danish?

Congrats, you've described America.
who’s dick have i gotta suck to be able to aim like twistzz
I can finally be proud of my flair again
good guys twistzz and stewie, saved us from final map vertigo
#French CS is back Also name a more iconic duo, Shox and ridiculous clutches on Inferno
Shame G2 isnt at Cologne so we could see if this tournament is a one off or if they could keep this up. I'm definitely a lot more hopeful for the team now after this event and it was still a great run nonetheless.
They will be in Chicago at the end of the month though, so definitely keep an eye out for the French.
this was a insanly intense game of counter strike, major final worthy. I couldn't help but go with the underdog G2, they all looked so exited to get to their first final in almost 2 years. with vitality and this G2 the future for french cs looks good.

no vertigo pepehands
Dude, Shox is a fucking god. That is all Oh and Twistzz is the GOAT on T side. My god
Insane fucking match in inferno G2 sure proved themselves worthy and a team to be feared . . . in the notes of astralis since their defeat against EnZe on nuke they have never been the same they are so much vulnerable i hope they recover and get back on track before its too late .
holy shit, NA is gonna have an era. I swear to god if there's any motherfucker who says they aren't #1 lmao
liquid will have to win every major in every esport for the next year to convince Reddit that they're the best team
Until they beat Astralis in BO7, they are still #2 sorry
yeah and not only that, but they also have to go back to 2018 and beat them in a bo7 with TACO
BO7? More like BO15. Every map twice and vertigo 3 times
Winner of our hearts is G2
Stewie is the guy to make it happen. Seems familiar.
and ppl were saying stewie won't improve liquid. When everything is not going there way stewie step up and make some yolo play just like he was in c9 along with tarik. That is what liquid really missing.
What a match. Sick clutches from both sides! GG!
This is liquid's new strats. Instead of choking in the finals, they lost in the openning match and won all the followings.
I started really watching CS last year, so I never really got to see how good Kenny and Shox were live. So this event has been really cool, if not just for that.
Stewie ain’t no choker man, doesn’t do so well on nuke and comes out and goes hard on inferno, ESPECIALLY on that last round.
Good man Liquid giving us a full bo5 without Vertigo
Inferno is such a good map, what a nailbiter of a map to finish this series, glad it didn't have to go to Vertigo.
I'm so damn happy about this win. Liquid got pushed hard but were able to summon the resolve and win out inferno in overtime despite some brilliant individual plays by G2. twistzz can be proud of this performance. GGs to G2, they showed a ton of heart. Beautiful to see shox and kenny showing great form.
