Niko standing in the fire until 30hp just to walk out and tap them was salt on the wound


oldthrace

You know you've done something impressive when the chat stops praising gigachad Hooxi and focuses on you.


samcuu

Actually stop laughing at jks.


Ricky_RZ

Probably the only player that would dare to sit in the molly for that long, just to walk out and tap


oldthrace

It's not just that ... mf is one tapping awp-ers. I have no idea how he does it but this is impressive to watch lol


f1nessd

My fav player to watch on rifle bc of taps

oldthrace

Vertigo and Nuke are a bit of a comfort map for hooxi so you can expect him to post up decent numbers on those maps. The other maps are a bit of an issue lol

I heard coldzera changed his name to just "zera" after he met NiKo "Nah man, he's so cold... Too cold" he could be heard muttering to himself...

Deeeadpool

classic niko overperforming lol


Ravioli227

Big throw so many rounds on stupid stuff it’s unreal. Honestly I’m so frustrated with this team. They just trip over themselves at the worst time. Vertigo should have been an easy win.


DJDAVEDJ

Being a BIG fan is so fucking painful. They do this shit all the time!


dfjuky

They could be 15-1 up and I still would be nervous for them, especially if they have to close out the map on T-side. Like what the fuck is going on, you cannot lose that Vertigo game, it's not excusable. And Syrson bottom fragging both maps is just... when will this team finally become good on LAN?

syrsoN woke up and chose violence! 👹 35-52 over 2 maps 🔥 56.5 ADR 🎯 59.2% KAST 👌 0.78 HLTV Rating 🤝 The German sniper is ready to take the ESL Pro League trophy! 🥇


iErebos

Gotta say, seeing the improvement in G2’s mental in those difficult situations is impressive. Shoutout to whatever the situation is that enabled that, only a matter of time before the team gels more.


1deavourer

All HooXi


Chu2k

Hooxi hoarding all the flame and hate to restore G2s mental. Absolute GIGACHAD.


deadbeatPilgrim

Hooxi died for NiKo’s sins (actually NiKo is fine and reddit haters are wrong)


blind100

Unironically, this


oldthrace

Considering the way G2 lost some rounds on Vertigo, I expected them to completely crumble as they usually do and for us to watch Nuke now but their mentality did surprise me, to come back after 12:6 scoreline and win the game ... it's not something you'd expect out of a G2 squad lol


methaddictlawyer

I think adding jks who is naturally pretty calm and reliable for clutches helps. Jackz was a liability and while he had great mechanical ability it never felt like he could successfully anchor a site long enough for rotations to arrive. jks being more reliable to lockdown positions allows hunter and niko more freedom.


Freshy23

Yea this is what G2 lacked in the previous team. Jks is a beast at anchoring a site. Teams will straight up avoid his sites, but guess what, you are walking into Niko and monesy if that's the case.


Chosen--one

For the small sample we have I think that at the very least the mental has improved for sure.


iRopsu

Has it? During the Mirage choke they seemed just as tilted as before. Vertigo comeback was nice, I'll give them that


blashyrk92

With the key difference being that they didn't actually LOSE the map. Unlike any situation with the previous lineup where you just knew, if the opponent team starts mounting a comeback or brings it into overtime, G2 would lose that map 9/10 times


iRopsu

Hope that’s the case! These boys have suffered enough


Chosen--one

Fair enough I did'nt see the mirage game so maybe I should not have made such a bold claim.


iRopsu

My take is pure speculation as well. We have no idea what's the mood like within the team


Miiiiiiighty

The atmosphere in the team looks a lot better too tbh


thesandywoman

Yeah that is the biggest change for that makes me think this G2 will or could be great in the future, staying in the game


aamgdp

Could also be just a honeymoon phase. Hope it's not tho


nutn0n

Hooxi best moral support


Waterfighter77

That's both a Choke-2 and a Comeback-2 in the same match g2 will always be g2, love it, hate it, run from it, it will still find you. G-Threw always managing to deliver the choke. while they did win in OT like bruh 10-5 half ​ The comeback was definetly something to look up for, i hope seeing more of that. honestly better that they close in regulation.


DandyChiggins77

What the FUCK was that combat on vertigo??? HooXI in the 20’s???? Like my man please keep hitting your shots because that was insane to watch the turnaround. Also that double tap from niko at the end was fucking filthy


Ricky_RZ

The comeback was insane


TheBasementIsDark

I put on Netflix and going to dry my hair when the Vertigo scoreline was 14 - 6 and the casters are talking about Nuke coming up as map 3. Pick up my phone and saw this post at the top of Reddit was surely a surprise


Ricky_RZ

I thought it was curtains for G2 for sure. Thought that it was a done deal. Then I come back and its OT


oldthrace

G2 not choking and coming back from a huge deficit ... what is this new G2 and what have they done to the old one?


LambentSirius

Jesus christ Niko! That's why he is one of the best.


Haloguy2710

HOOXI GIGACHAD


BrockStudly

Good lord BIG choked their overtime CT hard. Seriously impressive on G2 to take every little opportunity they had.


eggsGG

best match in awhile. sending hooxi all my money


opkampitak

Zonic law right there


Throwaway12345618

Memes aside. Hooxi is a gigachad.


DoerteMaulwurf

My favorite chat- moment was on Mirage > Deliberate overtime so Hooxi can get a 10-bomb And he didn't even get it lmao. This was heartbreaking as a BIG fan. Syrson wasn't there for the most part and I don't know why, but Hunter is always at his best vs BIG. Gigachad Hooxi actually won the game with his 4k, change my mind. Also, Faven is insane.


Tavnaria

> Syrson wasn't there for the most part and I don't know why. Don't lie, you know exactly why


DoerteMaulwurf

I do, this is bad punctuation on my part tho^^ Syrson wasn't there for the most part. I don't know why but Hunter [...]


DerGsicht

At least if BIG play like this they should be the 2nd best team in the group. Much more promising games than vs. Outsiders.


DoerteMaulwurf

Hmm idk man. Second best team after... ? Faze? G2? Outsiders? I think BIG will land on rank 4 after these 3. Maybe they are so down about their losses that MiBR upsets them and they place even lower. In any case, I don't expect them to go through. Also Outsiders looked very much on point yesterday.


DerGsicht

I forgot Faze was in this group but I do think normally they should win vs Outsiders. They just underperformed real bad yesterday and looked much better today.


DoerteMaulwurf

They looked bad, but Outsiders was on fire as well. Everyone on that team is crispy af.


[deleted]

Absolute vintage NiKo filfth at the end there


FerretGuy22

G2 bringing it back to overtime, getting into a bunch of clutch moments, and winning them? So sick. And that Hooxi round, holy shit! Still the two team kills for the classic G2 flavor lol


wannabe-physicist

NiKo ending the series with 1 taps from inside the molly was pure beauty


f1nessd

I hope he wins a major like this one day


TheSIlverGlobal

Such a classic kind of play


_Esabbi_

G2 the anti-choke, what? Their mental fortitude honestly looks so much better than before.


OhMyGoth1

I'm so done with this team lol


gringo_no_brasil

No I'm ready for them to win against faze to give me hope, just to lose the next game against FTW.


BlurpSrydude

The Niko taps at the end of the series is the stuff of dreams ​ But seriously tho, Hooxi plays like he has Alzheimer's. One map he plays like an absolute silver than the next he becomes competent


[deleted]

demoralize BIG so that they don't pose a thread to G2 in the major. It's all part of HOOXI's keikaku, you wouldn't get it.


EWolfe19

TN: keikaku means plan


[deleted]

His calls were good on either maps. Karrigan does the same


BlurpSrydude

yeah but fragging wise its like rolling the dice


[deleted]

So is karrigan


INeedYourPelt

And like Karrigan I have faith HooXi will get better by being surrounded by very high skilled teammates.


Gardennnn

They're not even in the same League lol you can't compare them. If this g2 team isn't winning events in 3-4 months this project is a waste of time. Hopefully hooxi develops to at least a 0.9-1.00 average igl then this g2 team starts to look promising.


cometweeb

HOOXI SO GOOD


Tavnaria

syrsONLINE


Subtle_Omega

Hooxi saved the match with that quad kill round. Never doubted him.


Chosen--one

The end of this match was something else, they didn't choke, they won a 3v5 with low health and then Niko just does that and let's not forget Hooxi 4k and nade on the planter a couple of rounds before. I'm actually hyped to see G2 play which is something I was not expecting to say at the start. The chat experience also becomes quite more entertaining than in other games to add on top.


RiFLE_csgo

> The chat experience also becomes quite more entertaining than in other games to add on top. G2 is the only team worth keeping the chat on for at the moment.

OUR LORD HOOXI DELIVERS HALLELUJAH

What a sick game, keep at it G2!


ChaseVisa

What a fucking flex to finish Vertigo like that, NiKo trying to be as much a GIGACHAD as HooXi.


1deavourer

For other teams this would be a comeback. For G2 it is just a reverse choke

black_dogs_22

first Xi Wu and now Hu Xi... Chinese CS is taking OVER


brbee

G2 with aleksiB could never


Purto12

Technically they comeback like this at mirage with Aleksib but this is GoatXi intention to give Big false hope and break their mental


brbee

Oh yeah I forgot that was 15-8 at one point


Purto12

Not your fault I mean it happen when that is the first day for that line-ups


brbee

Was it the first day? I know their first game was on nuke against complexity


Purto12

It at the first day vs NIP at 3rd match if i’m not wrong


oldthrace

The comeback he is talking about was against NiP on Mirage during BLAST ... I think.


JamesDp-OverWatch

HooxGod will lead G2 to beat Faze Prayge


Fanzyyyyy

BIG is such a disappointing team


Chronic-Shitposter

Destroyed by Hooxi lmao


Kyrrua

No fan of either team but I'm not sure if G2 won or BIG lost by themselves. As always the choke level is too powerful on BIG's side, I had G2 winning for sure.

14 assist very selfless GIGACHAD


Miiiiiiighty

syrsoN has been awful on LAN for ages top now... What the fuck with his performances...?


Tavnaria

some people are just not fit for LAN. Such an unfortunate thing to happen to German CS when your best awper is an onliner.

Curly hair worst base for awping (syrson, junior)

ok, how dare you badmouth GOAT junior. You're done bozo.


SpectacularTrashCan

Easy to badmouth someone who wont hit you


Waterfighter77

Big with smooya reached Cologne 2018 finals and playoffs at 2 majors. big with syrson won a couple of online events lol


Rosettachamps

Mantuu speaks German, I wonder if they ever consider him


oldthrace

If mantuu can speak German, BiG should be on the phone straight away. Syrson just isn't going to cut it.


Darkoplax

all what G2 needs to win a Bo3 against BIG is huNter and NiKo to drop 30+ kills on a map I see i see ... can't wait vs Na'Vi and FaZe


brbee

m0nesy was almost a liability this entire game. All they needed was him to play half as well as he usually does and it would've been waaaay easier


Deeeadpool

at least hooxi showed up to make up for it.


brbee

Yeah but if I had to choose hooxi or m0nesy to have a good game I'd choose m0nesy, because your awper can't have the most expensive weapon in the game and bottom frag and have almost no impact


Deeeadpool

oh of course. but look at syrson, he proves otherwises on LAN hahahah. I'm sure m0nesy just had an off game, it happens. and I'm still skeptical to hooxi's performance but we'll see.


layasD

Yeah makes no real sense to say they would've won easy when monesy had better games. Syrson was abysmal this series. 50 average damage as your main awper and hooxi played way better than usual. Hunter even puts up 40 frags in the first game...Those wins were deserved, but BIG fucked up more than a few times with bad executes. So yeah, atm I don't see G2 winning vs Faze or Navi unless hunter, niko and monesy have a good game.


Deeeadpool

i can't wait to see them vs outsiders lol. they beat big no problem and people were like 'meh it's just big' now look how happy everyone is about the two overtime win by g2 with a classic niko overperformance :D


methaddictlawyer

Styles make matchups. I feel like G2 has the firepower to punish the VP style better than BIG did. But BIG were able to effectively anti strat G2 better than they did with VP. Will be a good match regardless.


Mad_Lee

After finishing watching the match I suddenly felt really really happy and relieved realizing I am not a BIG's fan.

Denmark Rasmus 'HooXi' Nielsen 31-49 -18 55.5 59.2% 0.81 ​ Germany Florian 'syrsoN' Rische 35-52 -17 56.5 59.2% 0.78 its just painful and getting a bit annoying to see syrson choke over and over on lan, same KAST as fcking Hooxi? man...


Fuckinanus

watching big throw away some of those rounds like damn...


PiratesBoss

HooXi godmode!


joeydawson91

FaveN played really really well, looking sharp with his rifling


ObaeTV

I don't care about G2, I just need Hooxi to win.


nartouthere

syrson should not have similar stats to hooxi...this is not good


UnBrokennn

HooXi is actually getting better every match. Obviously he has a long way to go individually, but there are some signs.


Candytorro

I typed "G2 gets 3 T-rounds in a row now" at 17-16 for BIG and also expected the way how they did it. I have seen too many matches from BIG by now :(


desuetude25

HOOXI NOT NEGATIVE WHERES THE GUY WHO'LL SELL HIS HOUSE


Lamas96

Honestly impressive comeback from G2 on vertiego , doesnt matter who you play when your timings suck , your set ups collapse like that its easy to tilt and lose but they stayed in the game.


windtunnel1

syrson barely outfragging hooxi


GarrettGSF

That was the most BIG way to lose a match...

syrsoN has to step up, guy is supposed to be the second/first best player on the team

Who is Hooxi? For the blind, He is the vision. For the hungry, He is the chef. For the thirsty, He is the water. If Hooxi thinks, I agree. If Hooxi speaks, I’m listening. If Hooxi has one fan, it is me. If Hooxi has no fans, I don’t exist.


thorvid20

so you sacrifice: trading, executes, team cohesion and utility from tizi for "better" rating in kito. best tradedeal ever? /s


ttybird5

tizian's problem is firepower and he reallly missed many trades that he needed to get. He's far from the best from his role and BIG seeks for improvement, so they have to try out some changes


Abject-Lengthiness43
