wtf are you talking about, VP almost never do badly in groups of majors, they are now 2-2 after being 2-0. Why would people say this during the major when they are about to go 3-0 in swiss etc.

u/HiderDK Jul 19 '17
It's the classic confusion of correlation equalying causation.
And the truth is that they "always do well at majors until they don't". Just like they always do well well at offline events untill they didn't and sucked badly for a few months.
They have improved recently, however the idea that there is a "rule" that allows them to always gets into quarterfinals is ridiculous.

It's because in interviews other teams say that they're cocky and refuse to scrim. Certainly doesn't help me to like them.

Can you back that up? I only remember someone from G2 saying they were cocky, but I don't remember any interview where it was said that they refuse to scrim.

If only VP checked MSL under palace after byali spotted him...

u/yolofmeisterXD Jul 19 '17
He probably didn't, i guess it was spectator bug. But still doesn't change the fact that they SHOULD check it anyways, 2 players got killed in the back with knife/nades in hand
1
Jul 19 '17
They thought it was aizy and that he backed to default after nades under palace. Aizy did not kill a single one but he baited MSL well. Still, as there was no molotov they should have checked it no matter what.

People do appreciate individual skills at North. They just dislike their behavior and therefore can't really like the team.

I think i people only hate North because they were touted as the next big thing and fell flat, proving themselves to be a solid tier 2 team. It feels like they haven't shown anything different or surprising since before Rubino left. That's why I'm never 100% behind them, and am Never surprised when they continue to lose matches as the favorites

The botched spray from Byali on Tetris at 13-14 and the missed AWP shot from Pasha from cat to connector in the next round were huge. If one of them gets a kill they likely win the game.

The only teams from teams left they have low change of beating is one of Brazilian teams. G2, C9 and Flipside are very good match ups for VP, both on paper and historically. It doesn't mean they are certain of winning but saying they cannot beat any of those is dishonest.

This was some vintage Cluj-Napoca Aizy. Really was the deciding factor this game with how many rounds he bailed out for North.
1
u/RoogerCS Virtus.pro Jul 19 '17
So many opportunities missed because errors in communication perhaps due to players watching the same angles on VP ( not checking common spots). Pasha with not needed re-peeks in many situations, especially in mid when he heard Konfig fire the AWP (got greedy). Just errors like this, they try to fix the in depth problems. But it's all in their basic play...
1
Jul 19 '17
I don't get how they can be playing 4 years together and not be able to communicate perfectly like fnatic in their prime - when they had incredible synergy and won most of games mainly thanks to that.

u/dekza456 MOUZ Jul 19 '17
I do not always blame 1 player for the loss because it's a team game but Byali cost them this game for sure.

Pasha had some really bad rounds towards the end as well. Was very good early though.
1
u/Salva252 Gambit Jul 19 '17
Pasha was bascially carrying them towards the end. In that 14:14 round he did everything he could, but Byali fucked up his spray really bad. If Byali just got 1 kill, pasha wins that round 9/10 times since he had perfect positioning for the plant with an awp.
