Indeed, been following the Cloud9 guys, and they had some good performances, but clearly need some work still. Not everyday South Africans get to partake in such big events. Its quite entertaining stuff!

Wow, this is AMAZING! DIdn't know a SA team are playing at a Tier 1 level. This is bloody awesome! I've played CS:GO a little and watch the BIG tournaments. I'm definitely going to be following this tournament and watching ALL C9's games.

Natus Vincers Vs. FaZe Clan

Now LIVE

 

[dainluke]

Have been too bogged down with uni work. Absolutely depressing. But I really hope FaZe win. I felt more bad than anything that such an amazing group of players under-performed like FaZe did last year. Really happy to see Cold and NiKo demolishing again.

 

[MeTsU]

I see S1mple's been trying some sneaky plays again. Haha. Almost fluffed his knife yesterday.

 

[Andrew_Smith]

And Na' Vi moves through.

Very tight game, I think both teams played very well.

Kudos to the youngster (broky) of FaZe Clan, he really outperformed himself with a lot on his plate this evening.

In the end, Na' Vi was just the better team and landed the frags when needed.

@AffectFPS I know your pain... this week and next week I am fully booked, bye-bye cycling for then.

I also wanted FaZe to win, in the last round, I actually thought they might sneak us to overtime but sadly not. cold had a few good shots but NiKo was just on another level. Wish Olof was on better form, I know he can also be a troublemaker for the opponents.

@SILTECH786 you perhaps know why the players wore two headsets? Inner ears underneath their gaming headsets, maybe for communication with the coach for timeouts?

100 Thieves Vs. Fnatic

Now LIVE

Round two (Fnatic in the lead), let us get this weekend started with CS:GO.

 

[MeTsU]

End of Round 1, 100 Thieves did damn well do go 9 rounds for 1 against Fanatic to tie the Round. Fnatic then clawed back the overtime. What a great first map!

 

[Andrew_Smith]

s1mple jy mag maar.

Wow, what a play from him, saving the round for Na' Vi.

No need for noise cancellation as there will be no one there to watch haha

Imagine one of the cameramen makes a little noise and distracts a player about to clutch a 1 v 3.... Yeah, noise cancellation non negotiable IMO.
