Up 13-2 against QBF, throw it all away.
Lose both pistols. Win anyway.
I don't understand mousesports... What a fucking random team.

QBF is a juggernaut that got legend status every major they attended though. The level of the opponent matters.

Mouse usually adapts to the opponent. If they play a supposedly weaker opponent, they will also play bad. If they play a good opponent, they play better.

I have confidence in Mouz' ability to lose against literally anyone.

u/TheCowYT NiP Jan 23 '18
Yeah, and on the last round the possibility of the SS ninja to continue the game. QB Fire comeback was probably the best match so far, I have not watched it but I am guessing

u/GarrettGSF MOUZ Jan 23 '18
No, this match was better because the round were more intense. The QBF game was very one sided, first in one, then in the other, direction. But the rounds rarely came down to amazing clutches or smth like that.

That's a shame, SS could be a solid gatekeeper/upset team with woxic
23
Jan 23 '18
Its not about just joining a team for woxic man. A lot of bad things happened back then. They were friends and there was a Turkish team called HWA Gaming (XANTARES and woxic was on that team, playing together) (DESPE,e1 and ghandi were the rest teammates.)*first two are also old ss players) And an argument happened between XANTARES and woxic.HWA Gaming seperated. XANTARES, e1 and DESPE founded Space Soldiers, ghandi and woxic founded Dark Passage.
I dont understand why they dont talk about the fight at the interviews* a lot of people asked that why woxic didnt wanted to play for ss and same for ss why they didnt invite woxic to the ss because before majer joined ss there were no awpers at the team* still there isnt except for paz Kappa*
I think they should let you guys(community) know about the fight. They have told themselves at the twitch streams and actually there is a video which recorded at a tournament, final match between Space Soldiers and Dark Passage and they suddenly started an argument. They sweared each other.
Of course it would have been better a team like XANTARES, Calyx, paz, MAJ3R and woxic.
I will link the video when i get back to the pc if you interested.

So happy that SS got this far. Unfortunate that they didn't make legends, but that just means more matches to watch from them next major!

u/worstcrashever Jan 23 '18
Well, honestly it happens a lot when a team is actually doing really great and people are happy about it, but in the end doesn't have what it takes to make it to the playoffs and falls off shortly. Sometimes this is heartbreaking and that team will have a hard time recomposing, sometimes they comeback stronger next time and actually make it (mousesports???). Even though this happens quite frequently (that a team that has been doing good doesn't make it on the first try), I think they should have been there way more than QBF (not taking credit from QBF's 3 wins tho)

In a BO3 that's probably the best draw.

While I agree with you, I guess the advantage of playing FaZe is that there's no pressure on mouz' shoulders anymore.

First of all congratz to mouse and the other teams who made to playoffs.
Secondly i have to say that, i'm really proud of space soldiers. Not long, 7 months ago we couldnt qualify for the eu minor. We always had potential and still the team didnt show their full potential. But this tournament, they made all of us proud. Except the Sprout game they fought every game even they lose.
Maj3r brought a total new mentality to this team, his IGL also frag contribution was amazing.
Xantares, showed how an amazing player he is once again and proved that he is not an onliner.
Calyx also showed his brilliant aim and game sense to everybody.
Paz, i'm pretty sure many people didnt know about him before the major. He made an impact, although he had surgery after the minor. He is a valuable all around player and players like him are so uniqe in cs go.
Ngin, got huge unfair critisim from toxic turks, but contiuned to play with his heart. His support role was so criticial, many people will underestimate his contribution to this team beacuse most of his contribution is way beyond statistics.
tl:dr our boys did an amazing job and this is just the beggining. I hope we will get more invites to big tournaments to show and achieve our full potential.

A couple of days ago I ran into oskar on a pistol dm server warming up a few hours before his game. The dude was destroying everyone with a p250, cz, usp, glock, etc.
When he first joined he spawned in long house and had 20 kills before dying once lol.

not really a choice. they are really good on nuke, so you have to ban it against them. naturally train and mirage will remain after the pick and bans. sometimes cbbl.
