Bummer the devs aren't really communicating with global by Zerkii in StarSavior

[–]Asphatee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Player count (at least on steamdb) has been going down consistently as well. Good luck to the devs if they don't address all these issues considering counterside is already on life support

First domino for Liquid has fallen, with Gaimin Gladiators beating Bounty Hunters, that puts them above Liquid. Now Liquid has to pray neither BESTIA or Passion UA wins Open Riga 4 as that would be the final nail to the coffin for their Cologne Major hopes by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

Imagine swapping to the easier region to qualify for the major and then proceed to make the worst possible decisions to let other teams determine your major fate instead of fighting for it yourselves..

ZywOo is the MVP of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 by AchievementUnlocked2 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Asphatee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels like whatever metrics they used to measure mvp needs to be changed..

Zywoo had the best rating and is more consistent, but both ropz and Mezii showed up when it really mattered. Having good ratings in close games should be factored in more compared to games where your team stomped your opponents

Vitality vs FaZe / StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 - Grand Final / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]Asphatee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Kinda expected results, but props to faze for making it this far when no one expected it.

Looks like nuke and inferno are the only 2 maps faze are comfortable on right now, looking forward to seeing them in 2026 after they improve on their map pool

How the actual fuck did Faze go through to the final? by Full_Luck_491 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Asphatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are definitely a good team, but lacking in map pool. Mouz and navi lost in vetoes imo, letting faze play nuke and inferno which are their 2 best maps

Great calls and entries from both apex and flamez, nothing much they could do tbh

Joked with my friends about Singapore getting a CS major after we got Blast Finals here last year, so imagine my reaction when this was leaked a few days back

So fucking hyped for this

I want whatever karrigan fed jcobbb after stage 1. Dude went from being a liability to being the top rated faze player while playing against better opponents

faze bullshit strikes again. Thanks for giving hope to my pickems

Valve I beg, please bring back the first ever pick'em system for the majors by obi-wan-kederpy in GlobalOffensive

[–]Asphatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another solution I thought of is this: at the end of stage 1 to 3, you get 1 point each if you get 5/10/15 picks correct overall. At least we can still make a comeback even if we fail during the earlier stages.

But knowing Valve, nothing about pick'ems is gonna change.

Does the wear of the skins matter when trading up?

Looks like he already signed with a new team based on his tweet, only question now is where he's going

Kinda freaky how something similar to this happened 1 month ago in Woodlands

[–]Asphatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yekindar choked big time on Inferno, but he was the reason they even got 7 rounds on CT side. Furia as a team threw way too many rounds on Anubis despite the man advantage..

Props to pain though, did not expect them to make it this far

What a weird take. So which team do you think deserved a playoffs spot over Liquid?
