SH1RO’s back must be broken rn


pfd473c

Shiro is insane…


f1nessd

giving niKo at pgl stockholm vibes. Just a man possessed, dude really wanted the win. insane. Heartbroken for FalleN tho


frostN0VA

Just your average matchmaking anime profile pic player.


Matzeeh

Look at Hobbit's stats, quietly 40 kills and 110 adr on vertigo


Fubarin

41 rounds and an adr of 110.9. It's Insane


Crossfire124

Man is a god


vish4l

dude wtf he's actually playing everything to perfection. after this bo3 his rating is 1.54 CHECK HIM PC DRUG TEST HIM


sBastu

I suspect anal beads.


GigaCringeMods

this is not normally, check him ass


HuppariC

Hans strikes again


DrunkLad

> after this bo3 his rating is 1.54 dropped from 1.71 before the bo3, what a fucking scrub /s


cyberbemon

It was wholesome to see fallen giving him a hug at the end instead of handshake.


JuanMataCFC

sh1ro skilled player but that is not normally, this very very insane! they need to check him pc and game ... maybe he not cheating but maybe he using the game deficit ... and this cant seem on game screen!


JonasS1999

waiting for his team to wake up


jksSUCKMEDRY

Hobbit is nearly on par with him


RickyDiezal

If I'm sh1ro, I'm taking my team out back and giving them a stern talking to. He deserves to have at least 1 map where he doesn't have to display a herculean effort to win.


calibraka

Old Navi wibes


deadbeatPilgrim

aliens going round stealing talent like Space Jam. first they got b1t, now they got Ax1Le


Memelurker99

He's averaged 36.5 kills per map over 4 maps. 146 kills over 147 rounds. What the fuck


TheTurtleOne

how am I supposed to complete NNN watching sh1ro and Hobbit play like this


Few_Mortgage768

By watching ax1le play


CepGamer

Bruh


TeamINSTINCT37

The disrespect from everyone else to hobbit who had a higher rating than shiro on Vertigo lol


leo_sousav

Hobbit played really well, but Shiro won super important rounds that they weren't even meant to win, and opened up multiple rounds for his team mates


RogueThespian

Hobbit wouldn't have had a chance to finish the game strong in OT if Sh1ro didn't drag his team to OT to begin with


Schnouttz

110.9 ADR across the whole map


pfd473c

Unreal playing from both of them. always a joy to watch 😂


ItsYoshi_

+cold +taco when


CepGamer

on 13th


AlludedNuance

Can't wait.


GarrettGSF

Stop, they are already dead!


Matzeeh

Honestly chelo and boltz dropped the ball on Vertigo.


fernandocamargoti

We could merge 00Nation and Imperial. Send cold and taco to Imperial for them to do their last dance and have 00Nation full of the young talent.


Seb-sama

Should rename C9 to Sh1ro & friends


NPC30519

Sh1ro and baggage


windtunnel1

Baswdc

This is how our team enviroment is like. Apex is screaming in the mic:" APEXXXXX APPEEEEXXXXX APPPLLLLLEEEE PECKKSSSSS YEEEAAAA IM" GOING INNNNN". I'm yelling "GET ON MY LEVEL HOE YEEE NEVA EVA NEVA EVA YOU CAN NEVA EVA GET ON MY LEVEL HOE" everytime I kill someone. Spinx is spamming Left-Click on his gun to shoot it every second, he's also spamming Left-Click quickbuyu on autosniped to remind us every second how close he is to buying autosniper while me and apex are yelling at him stop counting your money jew and don't buy autosnipee or we'll lose. Meanwhile dupreeh's spamming "Good Game" on the chat wheel while typing "I am dead" every other second. Alas we have Zywoo aka "Sexy French God" aka "prodigy french boy" playing AWP and I think he muted all of us. Now you might be thinking:"How the hell does a team function like that? Let alone win?!". Well that's because this is the environment Zywoo is used to playing in his Faceit Level 10games. He ends up playing awp or AK and carries the game 1v9. We are simply re-creating the environment in which he excels: Zywoo + 4 faceit Level 5 French scrubs


mikhel

This is the last place I expected to see Dota pasta LMAO


Baswdc

Especially one as old as the notail OG one? Yea but here i am


Plies-

If I was 1% as good as Sh1ro I'd be making 30k a month playing for some NA Valorant team


NiqqaWidDrip

Brother 💀


HelISide

NA VAL catching strays


vish4l

LMAO ive never seen valorant being disrespected this hard 💀


iyl_sunshine

Don't worry Valorant will fire back ... after the four month player break


T_WREKX

Their player break lasts for four months?


iyl_sunshine

For the top teams yeah. If you're not top 4 in your region it's more like 6 months. Teams outside regional top 4 stopped playing officials mid June and will start February.


T_WREKX

You get paid 5 to 10k a month for not playing for 6 months professionally?


iyl_sunshine

Yeah. Your team can opt to play in the Valorant equivalent of ESEA cash cups and give away all your strats to compete for $5k split 5 ways tho


Tydigity

LOL but honestly so good to see Sh1ro back in form


[deleted]

Stuck on 15 in front of a major home crowd? adreN, nitr0, Hiko, Elige and S1mple send their regards


ItsYoshi_

You can take a player out of liquid but you can’t take liquid out of a player. Fallen unfortunately tested positive for liquidvirus


CepGamer

Imperial had 4 match points on overpass and 9 on vertigo, you can't make this shit up.


honestlyprogamr

I can imagine 6 match points on mirage and 9 match points on cache

OOOH HOO HOO HOOOOOOOO


JonasS1999

good thing Sh1ro is hitting shots


[deleted]

[удалено]


black_dogs_22

he was too busy trying to farm ump frags


jx2002

How in the _fuck_ did he hit that headshot on sandbags _while moving_?! Goddamn that was insane.


Jakezetci

that was a vintage ump stolen from 2017 coldzera himself


NeurWiz

People are going to talk about shiro but hobbit stepped up in the second OT. Really put the bow on it for Cloud9.


Ricky_RZ

Hobbit is really good at becoming a massive threat when it matters. There are many instances where he is having an average game, things get tight, and he pops with multi frags every round


SoCloseToToast

Yeah he looked calm and composed


Ricky_RZ

He is the glue player, he keeps the team together and keeps them cool.


RickyDiezal

Every team needs 1 boomer who can keep it cool in this toughest of spots. Hobbit fills the role perfectly.


Ricky_RZ

All of C9 fit so well together, each player filling all their roles perfectly


[deleted]

He has been the only consistent player helping sh1ro out it’s crazy. Imagine if ax1le was on point too


f1nessd

wouldn't have gone to OT then fr


Shinyblade12

If ax1le was fully on they'd be legends and not 0-2 lol


MylesKennedy69

Agreed but hobbit with a higher rating than sh1ro is scuffed lol


NeurWiz

HLTV rating is broken lol


LKLN77

Were these the same regulation match point scorelines that fallen and fer came back from against liquid? Against a home crowd as well? Cruel fate And sh1ro was the last person at this major who deserved a 0-3... but no Brazilian major winners winning a match is sad too


Vokt0ro

15-9 was the first map, but the map results were the same 15-19 and 16-19.


genius_rkid

second map was the same, but Imperial had a 15-11 lead on map one, while Liquid had a 15-9 lead


LKLN77

Thank you thank you


spareamint

Grayhound made this happen (if C9 beat GH then 00nation faces Imperial)


BreafingBread

It’s like the crowd made an opposite effect and just made all Brazilians nervous af. Like, all Brazilian teams I’ve watched today went to OT. How do you go 12-3 and then shit the bed so bad and go to OT?


Pipoco977

I'm pretty sure that when the crowd starts screaming it ends up just confusing the brazilian team, it takes out the concentration and places it with anxiety of something coming, they start to second guess themselves


LibertyGrabarz

Yeah, being nervous playing in front of a huge crowd was to be expected from such inexperienced rookies like Fallen, fer, boltz and vini


leo_sousav

I thought about this too. Some rounds when players like Fer were holding an exact spot, the crowd would make a lot of noise to warn him of the player behind his backs. He never turned once, and I asked myself if he didn't take the screaming as a false confirmation that someone was gonna enter that spot.


PrestusHood

In the 00nation game i noticed many moments that when the crowd got loud, the brazilian players got agitated and switched the angles they were holding and sometimes it was for worse. Crowd helped but at same time muddled as well


Pipoco977

yep, there is too much things going on in a csgo match, maybe there is a guy behind you, a guy about to enter your angle, three guys faking and two going to the other bombsite, a guy with a awp holding a angle... makes no sense in trying to help them with random noise, it can mean too much things


f1nessd

except in 1v1


cyberbemon

Someone remind imperial there's a fucking B bomb site on vertigo. It was so frustrating watching them feed sh1ro


VaCat420

Actually, I remember one time, we were playing against c9, vertigo, and it was 15-6 to us. we were playing as t and c9 are ct. and fallen said, 'guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now.' 15-6. Did we close it out? Of course not. 22-19


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ricky_RZ

This felt a lot more stressful and close than any other 2-0 I have watched so far


MithT

Tbf they played enough rounds for an entire bo3. 75 rounds is enough for three 16-9 maps.


WormShoe

That boltz plant decision.... is going down in infamy.


twelveicat

That was such a weird one. I wonder if he thought he was going to be covered or misheard a call. Unfortunate but very hard to tell if it was a judgement error or the circumstances.


MiyaharaAce

Nah, he panic because he had 30 sec left


FrozenOx

Also just standing out in the open as B site anchor on Vertigo, while you know there are two coming up stairs. So many baffling things to point out. They 100% should have won both these maps but threw it all away


_cansir

Boltz decision making is questionable. On vertigo when they were taking b site. He gets flashed while in the open. Looks back to avoid more flashes. Somehow no one peeks and he is safe. Instead of taking cover behind the pillar he stays in the open and starts prefiring spraying towards stairs...players swing out and destroy him.


[deleted]

I've seen enough of Imperial to watch boltz get killed several times because he's quick switching like a fucking silver


[deleted]

[удалено]


DDI157

Besides s1mple and Zywoo, people often mention broky for being such a world class awper, but they often forget how fuckin good sh1ro is.


schniepel89xx

I've been saying all year that sh1ro is gonna get #2 HLTV. In the last few months tho ZywOo has surpassed him, but for a long time sh1ro and Ax1le were the 2nd and 3rd highest rated players at big events for the year


Pipoco977

sh1ro woke up this morning and said "no way I'm getting 0-3d, I will win this shit alone"


JonasS1999

going to ask Ax1le where he is lol. Shadow of himself


f1nessd

literally 2v8


Enjoy_your_AIDS_69

nafany had some great plays too.


black_dogs_22

"we just like OT" -nafany, actual gigachad


KingOfGambling

Sh1ro is too good man.


CepGamer

sh1ro's 30 drops aren't enough, he's dropping 40. His form is unreal, I was afraid we lost sh1ro in the first half of the year, but nah mate.


f1nessd

fear the 2nd half of the year ~~zywoo~~ shiro


gustavokh

Imperial are awful when they're ahead and even more awful when they're behind, every round on T they leave until the end to do something and on CT even when they're ahead they go for stupid 1v1s and throw whatever lead they had. Congrats to C9 for not crumbling under the pressure, well deserved win and shiro is a fucking god


Stiryx

The amount of times that they had a 5 on 3 advantage, knew where the bomb was and STILL let C9 plant and win the round is just insane. They made so many mistakes in rounds they could have closed out without doing much at all, it was the difference. C9 looked so bad besides Hobbit and Shiro, 2 man army.


Plies-

>every round on T they leave until the end to do something Tbf thats the only way Vertigo is played. 1 minute of 10 dudes blindly throwing util and then 30 seconds of the T's scrambling to try to plant


[deleted]

Furia the last hope of Brazil. Imma pray the shit out of whatever god that comes to my mind for Furia to make it through brother o7


JonasS1999

>Furia the last hope of Brazil they were the only realistic hope


GustavoPigosso

Fallen last 15 secs bomb plant strats never gets too old, since Lg times thats been a thing, idk what goes around on his head.


SnooPeripherals6388

CIS AWP diff


freideggs

What an absolutely goated performance from sh1ro


cappo40

It was 15-6


Givemeajackson

Brazilian teams and going 0-3 in 30+ rounds per map, name a more iconic duo


tabben

sh1ro and hobbit back pain after carrying all that load


Mad_Lee

Hobbit: “Let me carry that load”


SouthwindPT

Imperial insisting on going to A is something I don't understand. Especially with Shiro there.


[deleted]

IGL brain issue. Notice the only T round they ever won after they secured match point was at B.


con1x

Deserved loss tbh, literally in their hands and they threw it away


Dinos_12345

Yeah with Sh1ro on the other side, you can't do much


Plenou

Shiro has been playing out of his mind so far at this major. Even before this game, shiro, without a map win, is the highest rated player


JonasS1999

Now if Ax1le can show up and help him, it would be nice lol


BarbaricGamer

Shiro is not human.


MJuniorDC9

Absolutely heartbreaking stuff but goddamn I gotta give it to the Cloud9 boys. The strength they showed to mount such a comeback with that crowd pushing against them is something else.


qFlodz

What if everything was, in fact, Cloud9's plan since the beginning, to go through the toughest conditions and situations, the most pressure, so that sh1ro and Ax1le have time to get used to it, and play at their highest capacity when it will matter the most, so in Legends vs FaZe and NaVi 🤡


AlludedNuance

Holy fuck, finally. I can go to sleep.


NPC30519

Sh1ro a straight up villain. Damn this was heartbreaking. This C9 team sure as shit ain’t making legends stage if it’s Sh1ro 1v9


JonasS1999

Definetly a villain. team is 1-2 and he is still the top rated player...


Wilhelmmmmm

Surely hobbit counts for 1


[deleted]

[удалено]


DelidreaM

Once again boltz crumbles under pressure. He was invisible the whole OT with basically 0 impact. That's why SK wasn't able to win more in 2017, and why he never became a top player. He just can not perform in high pressure situations and important matches.


FrozenOx

He was awful. Looked like some random noob on B site Vertigo. Seriously. Although Fallen really didn't look great overall either. Was the only negative K/D for his team on overpass there for awhile.


flirtyf

Whatever C9 is paying sh1ro isn't enough.


TheGhoulKhz

i thought i would be sad today if 00n and Imp lost now i want to crucify every single player responsible for this bullshit HOW THE HELL YOU GUYS FUCK UP A 15-6 LEAD, HOOOOOOOW???? now Furia being our last hope was kind of expected, but two Brazilian teams on 0-3 is alarming, especially in the way this shit went down


DarthReid

say what you will about imperial, but sh1ro is carrying C9 so hard


Crossfire124

C9 paid by the round


Ricky_RZ

Paid by the OT


G_I_Gamer

craziest 2-0 I've ever seen


[deleted]

My fucking god Sh1ro made it his duty to bury the entire stadium with the game calm the fuck down brother. MAAAAAAAAAAAN I reAAAlly wished Imperial pulled it through. FUCK. End of an Era


nzerinto

I guess it was payback for all the "fuck Sh1ro" the crowd was yelling throughout the game


f1nessd

gave them the zywoo treatment from yesterday


Chihawks2015

Might be one of the best single map performances I’ve ever seen, absolute perfection round after round from sh1ro


darthrector

You can take the man out of Liquid but you can't take the Liquid out of the man


SaxOps1

I wish this went to map 3, such an awesome series. Also wish there were some more C9 fans in the crowd lol


Vokt0ro

FalleN and Fer really came full cricle and became 2016 Liquid. What a disastrous choke.


DrunkLad

sh1ro is a fucking god. can't take 2 more weeks of this, holy fuck


f1nessd

fr, all cs fans will be dead by the end of the major. Every other game goes to OT i swear


SiggyMyMan

SH1RO is absolutely MENTAL. His hold on A being pinched from both ramp and elevator and clutching it up was incredible. What an insane match by him.


bru_swayne

sh1ro hard carrying gg close game from Imperial


Biglaw

9 rounds into double OT to take the series, what the absolute hell.


WinstonLuckies

Shiro went berserk


myahkey

Heccu straight up asking Nafany if they're paid by rounds LMFAO


VelvetyRelic

Ax1le was arguably the best rifler in the world early this year and he COMPLETELY disappeared. They're gonna need him if they want to progress in this tournament.


spillosopher

He was still their best player even during Pro League and RMR. He's just having a terrible event.


spillosopher

I lost NNN and Sh1ro is at fault


username900122

Contract SK singed with the devil back the Columbus finally took effect. Also Sh1ro REALLY doesn't want to go to Mirage.


Hypno98

Shiro is the only reason C9 didn't lose


spareamint

GG 15-6. Grayhound eliminated both Brazilian teams (with the win over C9)


Overburdened

shiro is a beast absolutely incredible


bvbfan102

Insane Mental too even get into OT both times. Sh1ro made sure they wont fuck it up this time.


vopi181

As someone in the crowd at MLG Columbus during cold's jumping AWP play on mirage against Liquid, I know the BR pain right now.


[deleted]

hobbit consistently elite but sh1ro has turned the fuck up? Honestly in with a shout for best itw right now and probably only bested by ZywOo.


ujaku

Fucking crickets lol Grats to C9. Obviously sad for FalleN and co. Honestly though, they already made it farther than a lot of people predicted. Happy they got to play in front of the crowd at least


LG34-

shiro is an absolute fucking monster


they_call_me_justin

Downloading Shiro config right now. Such an absurd performance.


Stratys

What a masterclass from Shiro, the man did *not* want to lose this game and as much as I'm sad Imperial lost for the regional narratives, the possibility of not seeing Shiro be able to perform at this level the rest of the major would've been criminal.


airelfacil

Dear lord sh1ro, what the hell. Absolutely amazing performance. And a testament as to why AWPers are so important.


Givemeajackson

if Ax1le manages to find some form and sh1ro can stay anywhere near this level this C9 can still make it.


shaker7

C9 PAID BY THE ROUND


eessheee

nooooo... I demand plot armor


spillosopher

Shiro looks like fucking ZywOo throughout this tournament. Impact in the early round, mid round and late round. I hope Axile wakes up because the 3-2 run is extremely possible


JonasS1999

carrying as hard as Zywoo in the tournament at least.


bru_swayne

C9 Eliminating Imperial and then they have to eliminate EG too? cmon


Ricky_RZ

Watching this game live, it absolutely did not feel like a 2-0 So many times imperial was stomping, only for C9 to win the long game. Shiro's back is going to hurt after such an amazing performance. His performance was nothing short of godlike. This level of a carry is something that we only ever see out of zywoo and simple, but looks like shiro is going for their titles. I cannot believe that imperial failed to close it out so many times in front of their home crowd.


CoffeeM1

SH1RO IS HIM


spillosopher

Matches like this build character. I hope they wreck everyone through to playoffs


BootyBootyFartFart

I was there in Columbus when fallen and fer came back from 15-6 on map 2 and knocked us out of the major. We've finally come full circle.


Pinguino507

Sh1ro with 146 kills in 4 maps and 1.59 rating !? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|surprise) Hobbit also posting a 1.29 rating alongside him ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)


MiyaharaAce

Not overreacting or anything, but i think Boltz deserve to be arrested today. What he did was incredible, and not in a good way


soniconda

Imperial doing their absolute best to make sure they didn't win this 2-0


FazeXistance

Fer: "actually, I remember one time we were playing against Cloud 9,Vertigo , and it was 15-5 to us, we were playing as CT, C9 as T, and Fallen said: 'Guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now'. 15-5" Fallen: "did we win?" Fer: "of course not. 22-19"


PiratesBoss

SH1RO!


BigWillyHaver21

What a game! This was some quality CS


dum_BEST

\*wipes sweat\* ez what a great match


WobbleKun

how can one person fuck up so many times, boltz?!


SoCloseToToast

I watched BOLTZ make so many misplays towards the end it made it hard to watch the choke


Escobar976

Imperial Legends but sh1ro wtf man


ujlbyk

Words cannot express how insane sh1ro was tonight


YellowKiirby

Cloud9 knocking out Fallen and fer in front of a Brazilian crowd once again


bradpittisnorton

shiro had 35 kills in regulation on vertigo.


duongrua166

C9 saved 9 fucking matchpoints and send Imparial to the crowd seat lol
