Awesome video. I'm so sorry for ropz, he's my 2nd favorite player after rain. frozen changed the team dynamic quite a lot, and it hurt ropz the most. Goes to show how important roles, playstyles and team chemistry are, and how damn flexible twistzz is.
Yeah I definetly agree. Frozen is a little less aggressive and much less self-sacrificial then twistzz, which has had an effect on ropz. I've seen ropz go for more aggro plays which all seem to fail due to him not being fully comfortable in making them.
It's crazy that now after some time, we can really see how beneficial Twistzz was for Faze. Faze hasn't been the same since. I feel bad for Ropz. I know this whole meme thing about Ropz & his Porsche but a lot of people don't understand what Twistzz brought to faze. We can really see the toll it took on Ropz's performance.
its impressive how all the ropz mechanics are excelente and his aim as well but nothing was working against navi, I was hopping for navi win but ropz had a bad time against them.
Trust me, go to observers settings, and turn off "smooth camera". Camera will then always snap from POV to POV, it will not "fly" around when you change the player, like in the video. 👍🏻
Just after telling myself "I'm tired of these low ranked kids shitting on ropz on every highlights video, they do know nothing about him", I just see your video popping up in front of my eyes, what a surprise! I wanted a real opinion and analysis to decipher what's going on with Ropz and faith delivers me one of the most intelligent CS player to talk about it... thank you STYKO and the god watching over my brain !
@@chibifirestorm still more passive then twistzz and also in some 3vx or 2vx situations, in the past twistzz would entry for broky/ropz or throw util etc but frozen at times is baiting them its just not a good mix, broky and ropz are passive by nature (broky only gets aggro mid round if he has a feeling) its the common too many star players on a team thing, it looks good when all of them are in good form but without it, the team system is just not as good
Nice video. Not trying to flame him and just simply analyzing. It’s insanely commendable how consistent Ropz has been his entire career. He didn’t have a great tournament, but that’s the standard he has been setting; greatness. There isn’t a shred of doubt in my mind that Ropz comes to the next one absolutely dialed in. Sometimes your opponents are just having a really good day. GGs NaVi. They had an answer for anything that anybody in the competitive CS2 scene could throw at them. B1t is back to headshot machine mode and god damn it’s scary😅.
Maybe Ropz has become too predictable? Could this be the issue? I´ve definitely seen his lobby/smoke vent/go down vents hard countered on nuke a few time.
we want faze back karrigan top fragging is against the laws of nature i think the problem is every top team studies faze, and faze has no analysts to study other top teams or develop new strats and they have no staff to support the players (assistant coaches, psychologists, etc)
unlucky for ropz but good to see that pros can also have bad timings or better said that navi had luck like hell with their timings :D Thats CS sometimes your just lucky drop a 30 bomb and the next game you have bad timings and get stomped by only doing 5 frags.
I think someone scrapes that I Buy Power holo some time after this game and the grand final. I hope I am wrong though, But if u watch some pov's of some of the players that end up having that ak it really looks that way to me.
I LOOOOVE ROPPPZPZZZZZ. ILOOOOVE ROPZ SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOOOOOVE ROPZZZZZZZZZZZZX I LOOOOOOOOOOVE ROOOOOOOPZZZZZZZZZZZ I LOOOOOVE ROOOOOOOPPZZZZZ I LOVE ROPZZZZZZZZ I LOOOOOOOVE ROPZZZZZ 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A honest Question foır everyone, even though he has always been my fav player; I admit that addition of Frozen effected the team in a negative way. But that negativity can be seen only in last 3 tournaments since before Frozen was closing in on all of the holes by hard carry the team. We say spacing issues, does this spacing effect Ropz on CT side as well? Ropz plays Ramp on Nuke and Connector on Mirage; two of the most impactful and probably important spots on Ct for both maps. T side issues can be explained but from what I have seen, Ropz was just straith up losing aim duels on mirage, losing to timings. 3 things I can say: he is either getting too predictable, Aleksi was on his day and did his homework to perfection and knew demoralizing mid player to the point where he will be useless would cripple Faze(Karrigan top Fragged like I love my man, he is my fav IGL but dude ur team is stacked wtf), or he was just unlucky. Navi took a lot of risks with smoke pushes and they worked. I kinda think Faze didn't have done their homework enough, or navi was just too good
I do not think so. I think it might be the dynamic is too much: Frozen is a fairly passive player, rain is conservative player (except entrying), ropz is a very slow, passive player. This dynamic just made Faze slightly worse than they were with Twistzz. Twistzz brought just enough of controlled chaos to make Faze more difficult to play vs. Also, it is not natural for a team to dominate as much as Faze did initially. Faze was 1st ranked for so long, probably studied to death, then when they get slightly worse +frozen -twistzz, no analyst to help them reinvent their style, they start placing 4-5th instead of 1st-2nd
@@Growlizing yeah, on T side Fazd was good because twistzz was playing all around. He was support when needed, entry or second entry when needed. Frozen I think has a better feel for the game but that causes more chaos that they can not control. The individual level is insane but twistzz was the hearth and spul of this team for sure
In a perfect world Faze keeps being kinda bad/underperforming, Liquid implodes and Faze get Twistzz while Col gets Frozen and Naf, and in 2 years Karrigan and Rain retire and get replaced by like Siuhy and Jimpphat
The voices in your head don't count as rumours. Twistz just took over IGLing and got a new player on his team. What universe is he joining faze in@mojommmm
Complain about Twistzz when twistzz is IMO one of the most versatile players like rain. Performance and stats doesnt alwyas matter when you get put into unfavorable positions.
Are people really this dumb.... clearly csgo mechanics didnt convert to cs2 for him. People who dont understand why ropz fell off just tells me that they dont really understand the game that deeply. Ropz had very unique csgo mechanics and thats why he was so amazingly consistent. Now he cant do half of the stuff he did in csgo so he needs to find other way to dominate in a game where mechanics are completely different. Im predicting he needs to get benched from faze and get time to figure out cs2 for himself to be the "ropz" again. Because right now to me it looks like he's trying to force csgo style to cs2 and it clearly isn't helping in current state of the game
It’s an in-game bug when watching a demo. It happens every time for past 2 months. I could move it away, but everytime I change POV of a player it reappears in the middle of the screen so I gave up on moving it every single time. It’s annoying, I know. Valve pls fix 😢

i'm not sure his ultra passive playstyle works anymore and it's hurting the team
because they added frozen who is more passive than twistzz was, now having 2 passive players just seems to be counter productive
it'll be like this until hey fix subtick

I think ropz doesnt have the same relationship with frozen as he did with twistzz. Hes just sad probably
Slow playstyle doesnt work and he is very ineffective as T. Needs variation, more duels and less lurking and finding timings every round.
someone measure that reaction time on wonderful that's ridiculous
Ropz was cursed for that day I swear
23:47 probably meant frozen, no?
I would also like to know what happened to hunter
good video
Cant just be unlucky. Hes been underperforming for months now
first negative event on faze
unlucky for ropz but good to see that pros can also have bad timings or better said that navi had luck like hell with their timings :D Thats CS sometimes your just lucky drop a 30 bomb and the next game you have bad timings and get stomped by only doing 5 frags.
i hear he isnt liking the game right now, movement is still bad a year out, jumping, KZ, bunny hops are still bad and he enjoys that stuff

they need to bring back twistzz. Face was at least top 2 when twistz was on the team.

Why do professionals use the monitor stand that comes with the monitor? Why not buy a monitor arm to keep the monitor stand out of the way.
There is no point unless you actually need to adjust/move your monitor beyond the boundaries of stock stand
