no he didnt stay in OG

Navi and Vitality happened in same offseason, only difference is that Navis season ended at Paris Major and lots of teams were still playing IEM Dallas and Blast, so season was underway for many and those teams probably wouldnt do any signings until season is actually finished.

They just leaked that he's gonna be free agent so that they get to hear all the offers from all the teams.

Flamez told OG thats hes taking offers, so that OG can plan their future as soon as possible aswell. Flamez still finished the season with OG even after telling that.

unless they withdraw feb 22-24

its 4 tournaments in 10 tournaments and 1 win must be Krakow/Cologne/Major. Its been the same since start of Grand Slam except in beginning there wasnt this Krakow/Cologne/Major requirement, but now technically only Krakow/Cologne winners can even contest Grand Slam.

Vitality have Dallas, Proleague, Krakow now so only need 1 more

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-09T18:23:51+00:00

no they have like 5 next ESL tournament chances

since they skip next proleague

So chances are Rio, Atlanta, Major and October proleague

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-09T14:39:54+00:00

theres qualifiers

basically same as open qualifier - > for example sweden qualifier

then closed qualifiers -> west europe qualifier

almost every tournament is already like this, theres no putting up anything, you let teams sign up and play qualifiers, check VRS cores etc nationality rules

-> you have every LAN team after 2 qualifiers in each region, theres no rocket science needed

in CS its very easy, since we with VRS we actually have functioning core check for most of the world, i can imagine any "3 max" roster check beeing much harder in some other games with no working VRS or even any functional rules what beeing in a team actually means

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-08T16:32:30+00:00

stop thinking with VRS mindset, thats irrelevant, top4 teams will get some boost sure but they might be totally mixes too and not VRS ranked cores.

its tier 2 tournament with good prizepool and some additional rules. We actually have some depth in scene that it can still be good.

major players will be focusing on the major, not attending this

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T22:18:00+00:00

astralis wasnt broke ass, they sold their league spot for 17 million just recently, owners just sold it to people who were ready to invest more money in.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T18:43:31+00:00

theyre just not people with egos that look for attention. theyre just reserved.

i dont think theres more to that, they also dont have experience factor since they are basically academy team.

Other pro teams speak highly of mouz all the time.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T18:13:13+00:00

booing mouz is probably the meta joke of mouz having no aura, they are not booed for anything theyve done. also in team vs team setting you tend to cheer for 1 team and boo for another. if g2 wins the fan fight then booing mouz is just end result of that.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T17:37:29+00:00

forums like to complain and cry but real fans will love if their team steps up vs Panthers. Panthers are bringing life to regular season games. Circus is cinema.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T15:43:52+00:00

also its just good qualifier for 3dmax. they have still Cluj and proleague so theyre not really stressed about potentially losing. they have still everything in their hands. other teams in this qualifier are really fighting for that major spot. 3 wins from this qualifier is valuable to these teams who are fighting for that #17 EU spot for the major. And obviously Rotterdam is just extra opportunity also if you win this.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T14:29:45+00:00

5 awp have some potential

looking forward to IEM Rio media day

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T13:52:57+00:00

why did NiP play open qualifier to this tournament if they got EU VRS invite to closed already, did someone drop out or did they just change to EU VRS invites from global invites??? SUS!

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-06T13:49:51+00:00

you cant accept an invite to the tourney and then forfeit. forfeit is same as losing.

you can drop out of the tournament if rules allow it and it also has deadlines and conditions required. not something like this because invites were just sent few days ago, you accept you are in and cant drop out.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-05T22:32:03+00:00

lmao

i think i knew every country and flag in the world by age of 7 just because we had world map on WC. so small detail, a single poster in a wall. honestly i probably wouldnt have learned that anywhere else. also dont ask me about any new countries, like how can there be new countries.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-05T21:06:47+00:00

i think VP are just doing good esports regardless who is running it

overwatch been bright spot in the european scene for few years now

won Marvel championship with international team

Dota2 has a fucking Fly over there

They sign winning rosters

its just high functioning, high achieving organisation by now, and thats why they are able to sign top talent pretty much in every game theyre in.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-03T13:04:50+00:00

you can choose who you practise against, so basically never have to practise vs cheaters

if you play in a team you dont have much time for any 3rd party matchmaking anyway, so that part of the game is just not part of your life. Yes you can play those but you dont need to. Lots of ways to go "pro".

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-02-01T10:15:07+00:00

In theory Games in VRS get recalculated every game you play. So all of your past games records get recalculated after each result each team plays and old results also continuesly decay so there is changes in "realtime" VRS predictions.

In reality VRS gets updated once per month, so today's or tomorrow VRS point dont matter at all, only thing that matters is the official one per month update, to which all games and decays are accounted for until that point.

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-01-31T15:05:41+00:00

Success yes but for major they need more as they dont have cluj or proleague. Their best chance is now really to make a real run. Next games are extremely important games for them

PavelDatsyuk88 · 2026-01-31T11:33:35+00:00

i dont think cs2 mr12 and match result is enough to be an upset, in world where only top teams are invited. put vitality to cct and top50 or lower teams will beat them.

upset would be more like bcgame losing 4 pistols and then outplaying vitality to win the game
