Can other CS:GO event organizers please try harder to get Redeye? He's so classy. He's so professional. He does a fantastic job, 100% of the time. I know he's more involved in other esports scene but he still does a fantastic job doing CS:GO events.

[u/Matt2142]

Has an all Finish lineup ever made a Major?

I'm hoping for some iGame love!

[u/Cryo_Ghost → u/Matt2142]

Team 3DMAX at Katowice 2015 was a completely Finnish lineup.

[u/[deleted] → u/Cryo_Ghost]

True, and even then they didn't go through regular rote... :(

[u/Mayn609 → u/[deleted]]

Flair checks out. 3DMAX katowice 2015.

Xarte, krhn, stonde, natu, disturbed was lineup there.

They made it to 13-16 place.

[u/jwlls0pus → u/Matt2142]

3DMax in 2014 Katowice was Finnish i think

[u/Olviii → u/Matt2142]

The first match is quite interesting anyhow. Cant remember if I've ever seen 8 Finnish players in the same match in a somewhat relevant tournament.

[u/cocoshaker]

Observer is missing so many kills! Where is the oracle ?

And when there is a specific execute, can we just stay on a player to watch the nade throw ?

[u/hoffe236]

The observation in Penta-Dignitas was horrible.

[u/Death215]

Ez for penta?

[u/NoReacti0n → u/Death215]

seems so

[u/shazard15]

rip igame

[u/_Frjf]

Just because it pisses me off so much. How PGL could you play the EUROPE Minor at such a fucked up time for People from europe? FailFish

[u/teh_blacksmith → u/_Frjf]

IDK, I think is better than to start at 17:00 and go to 4 AM. I think is better that they started at 10:00 local time and go to like 19:00.

[u/TheJainGuy → u/_Frjf]

Works perfectly for us here in Asia :)

[u/Olviii → u/_Frjf]

Yeah its odd, gladly I can watch while at work...

[u/ScuddyOfficial → u/Olviii]

I get to work at 4am and its like mid-stream. West coast usa here. :p

[u/Kodacus → u/_Frjf]

I'm from Europe and this schedule seems good to me. But if you work I understand your frustration

[u/[deleted] → u/_Frjf]

I wonder what u/Kodacus thinks about the schedule.

[u/Kodacus → u/[deleted]]

Shit, thx for he heads up. Didn't noticed

[u/[deleted] → u/Kodacus]

Don't worry i found it amusing :D

[u/Err0h]

Last four matches between PENTA and BIG have resulted in a loss for BIG.

Seeing as this can easily cause a dent in morale if paired against PENTA the first match, there may be equal hope for nV and Dignitas into getting to the top 3.

[u/HoodedCowl → u/Err0h]

Same thoughts here. They lost then Farmskins Finals 2-0 against PENTA, which made me hope they wouldnt met in the semi. I think both teams have contended eatchother so often, that they know eatchother really well.

[u/Err0h → u/HoodedCowl]

Smells like one of the more recent rivalries of 2017 in the EU scene. Hopefully BIG can pull off an upset. PENTA is looking real strong.

[u/HoodedCowl → u/Err0h]

Well Penta will be facing Envy tommorow which means (hopefully) Envy wins, BIG go against Dig and win. If it plays out exactly like this then either BIG comes out as champions or 2nd place with PENTA in third.

[u/Err0h → u/HoodedCowl]

I am hoping Dig somehow makes it out of there. Be nice to see that logo in the qualifier, even if it isn't the original team.

And to my first person, I do apologize, PENTA did lose to BIG in the EPL Regulation lol

[u/TheJainGuy]

I would expect LDLC & DIG to advance through this group. Tbh. I have no idea about IGAME & I don't think PENTA has any great players expect for maybe HS.

[u/Mayn609 → u/TheJainGuy]

Well Penta has 2 upcoming finnish stars. They are absolutely sick players. Sunny and zehn.

iGame is also bunch of "nonamers" for you but they are also really good team for tier 3? (Correct me if im wrong. Dont kno much about tiers.) I suggest you to watch Sunny when you watch pentas games.

[u/shazard15 → u/Mayn609]

what about my boy h(ead)s(hot) masheen

[u/Mayn609 → u/shazard15]

I approve.

[u/smrfy → u/TheJainGuy]

Good prediction.

[u/ScottySF → u/smrfy]

Underrating PENTA LUL

[u/Janderhungrige]

Go Germans, Go Germans :-)

[u/shazard15 → u/Janderhungrige]

they only have 1 german

[u/Janderhungrige → u/shazard15]

:-) Penta Yes,

but BIG is full of them

[u/paidtobottomfrag]

dignitas should win group b :)

[u/domi1108 → u/paidtobottomfrag]

I dont think so.

[u/Bearkr0]

Honesty I don't even know what to expect from group B. I barely follow any of these teams but from what I know, I can see them all beating each other except maybe dig.
