NiKo doesn’t have to worry about any curses with majors for the rest of his career, because with Falcons, there is absolutely no reason to fear ever reaching major playoffs again.
i seriously doubt that, maybe it will not work and i am not a falcons lover since their funding… . but having the best of the game and gathering them up in simply the power of infinite money makes me hopeful that my boy can someday get his major win
@@Rhedox1 wouldnt matter since falcons cant build a team for shxt. they just think buying out big names will get them a successful roster, which is far from true
@@ItsAmirGh I mean, I dont wanna argue too much about that, but to be honest: falcons don't care just about being the best of the best. They also look at the relevance. Because s1mple is faaaaar away from prime simple, but falcons couldn't care less about it. It is about the fact, that *s1mple* is "theirs". There are a lot of players that are better than s1mple at the moment, but falcons know, that relevance as an influential, famous person is equally relevant. Same reason Fallen is still at FURIA. Also dupreeh or Magisk are not the best dupreeh/Magisk we know, but we know them. And that's the whole point for the falcons org, I guess. Getting the famous old timers doesn't necessarily mean, that you will be as successful as their teams, when they had their prime time. But lets be honest. We all know shit regarding the intensions of falcons. If they stay with their strat to pick up the old but gold guys, they won't reach any relevant playoffs or finals. But hey, thats just my view.
This might’ve been the best chance g2 had so far, if g2 had won they would face spirit, who’s kryptonite just happens to be g2. fuck i feel devastated, I can hardly imagine how it must feel for the g2 team
not even gonna watch this recap im still heartbroken for what happened to NiKo if anyone respects it thank you if not get away from me dont need your negativity
Greatest major playoffs run in the making. Taking down player of the year contenders one match at a time. If Karrigan makes this work. Holy shit. Faze magic will become a term used for years to come.
i think chopper whiffing the smoke at 11:21 was actually him using his mic bind as well as jumpthrow which is hard to think about when you have a guy flanking you rather than nerves
It must suck to be Niko. Best rifler. One of the smartest players on the scene. Playing with the number one AWPER. Playing with family. Playing with young, promising talent. Playing with a veteran. Still loses. What else does this team need?
Niko in stress situations refuses to rely on teamwork. In the Faze match he repeatedly went off solo and died with zero chance to trade. He repeatedly would swing to take the fights in other situations when his team was not ready to exploit his information. Basically, Niko played very selfish CS. It was obvious that Faze expected him to play this way and the just waited for it. Time after time Niko left them in a 4 vs 5 round. Hunter and Snax played extremely well as a duo and Malbs and Monesy tried to fill in when Niko punched out every time.
The mental strength of donk is great He is filled with everything Best movement Best aim Best mentality Best sense And all that in his rookie year Just imagine him in his prime
He clearly hasnt the best game sense he IS a lot about aim only, thats why he isn't a good clutch player. Zywoo has a really good game sense 4example and thats why ppl find him boring, bcs everything look easy, with donk it s juste raw skill And I think best mouvement IS monesy or ropz. Best aim 100% ATM Mentality idk he seems a litle tilted sometimes
Imagine if he had a better caller than chopper a better support than magixx and a real entry like kyousuke instead of bot chopper. An actual team. Astralis era < Donk era
Hey man i absolutely love the content but I would make one suggestion and maybe others aren’t bothered by it but I wish you wouldn’t spoil the outcome of the match in the thumbnail, sometimes im just trying to get to the highlights spoiler free and I scroll past your video first, then again maybe that’s on me
Spirit vs Faze as the first and the last finals of the year is the most poetic thing you could've imagine. This whole major story is not about Niko, ZywOo, m0NESY or donk. It's Karrigan's story about how he defeated all of the top-1 contenders and will defeat the same beast who harassed him throughout the year. Or won't he? People won't remember how he defeated donk at Copenhagen quarterfinals. People will remember Katowice and Shanghai finals. Especially if donk wins tomorrow...
Faze are the most clutch team in cs. They go from facing elimination to dominating the best teams in the world, making crazy comebacks. I just wish Niko could win a major :/
I switched from Vitality vs. Mongolz grand final to G2 vs Spirit the day before they were locked in and I still missed my chance for my first diamond coin :(.
I am just going to be upset if this grand final is a blowout. I would rather have a close game and my favored team lose in 5 maps than have them blow out in 3 easy maps and win.
man, couldnt you put a slightly more ambiguous title/thumbnail? this was the first vid on my feed . couldnt even get to the pgl stream before seeing this :(
I would really appreciate it if you don't spoil the game's result with your thumbnails. Especially for this major where a lot of people don't get to watch the games live.
Hey Hawka, love the vids, watched every major related vid so far, but can you wtop putting spoilers in the thumbnail / title? Cant watch them live, and it compleletly spoils the match when I open youtube in the morning😅
I think you dont fully understand what made forsakens clips suspicious. He tracked micro movement through walls (e.g. where the guy jumps behind a side box). This situation is entirely different.
Ive bee saying this he was n Faze. NIKO will NEVER win a major. He's holding M0nesy back. G2 should build around M0nesy and Malbs. Get rid of Kovac Dorks.
yes ofc... everything is nikos fault. that m0nesy didnt perform at all this major. its not the fact that his girlfriend maybe cheated on him and he has personal problems... its niko.. the brain on some people 🤔
Superstars team lost to a team without any superstars. :) I already knew G2 won't win a major. The team is like cadian's heroic. They can win any tournament, but not a major. And Idk why they chose nuke over inferno which they play good with the map.
There is one thing to be out called, and another to get killed multiple times through smoke, or get caught in the open. m0nesy was struggling whole tournament, if not for mirage malbs would also have bad tournament. He had 3 players lined up, and he barely killed one, because he couldn't hold the pressure today. Niko carried multiple times this major, but again struggled today. If your 3 main guns are bottom fragging I don't think any IGL could do much here.

I almost have this theory Kerrigan carefully crafted the narrative to barely making into playoff, no one is doing homework to anti them
it's the only logical explanation. He made Faze look weak, so they got underestimated.
the only answer
saving strats for 7 months lmao

Niko just got Hard countered almost every round out in yard. Sucks for him to lose another major chance

@ nah cuz if G2s 3 stars don’t all play miserable they win the map. If their tactics sucked on top of it nuke would have been 13-6 too

malbs + monesy mia but i agree they called to punish the struggling ramp player
It’s just not a curse at this point, watching that game like so many before it the mental was just not there.

they look similar, like an englishman/brit

now off to falcons to never win ever again :(
no one expected this run from faze

LEGGO FAZE
I’ll admit I wasn’t a ropz believer. I thought he was just done. Gg wp, amazing run from faze.
Mouz & G2 are very much Tottenham & Arsenal in the CS pro scene. Always so much promise but never delivering anything.
ropz powered the hell up during the playoffs wtf
NiKo doesnt deserve a major. if he was able to win a major at any point he wouldve before now, and even so no one deserves a major they earn them
I switched from Vitality vs. Mongolz grand final to G2 vs Spirit the day before they were locked in and I still missed my chance for my first diamond coin :(.
donk: thankgod let g2 out , guys ,lets goooo!!!! lol
There is no curse, he is just really bad under pressure
Lets GOOOOOOOO!!! Faze Clan
We always say he's cursed, but the vast majority of his elimination games in majors, he played terribly
