A thrilling major tournament in CS:GO.
A thrilling major tournament in CS:GO.
Well, another CS:GO major is over and Fnatic took the title with a great best of three. Winning the first and final matches of the three. They played well against the one and only Ninjas In Pyjamas. Though, I just have something to say about this ESL. And it's the Tec9. I think it speaks numbers that Olofmiester got more Tec9 kills than he got rifle kills during the tournament. Something just isn't right with that side arm. Gives off a strong CZ vibe from Dreamhack Winter. Just overly powerful and shouldn't turn the tide of an eco round like it does. Either way, Fnatic played well, learning the weapon to their advantage and rightfully took home the title. The first team to take home two major wins. I was seriously hoping for NiP to win out of the two, they played well against Envyus, Dreamhack's winners. (Yes, I know they were LDLC back then, but same players. ) For that, I really did think they they would destroy Fnatic in the same way, but with their new player, Allu, and just being outplayed by Fnatic, it's a shame to see them going home with second place once more. Though, NiP are still the most consistent team in the world. Getting to every major final is a real accompliment in itself. GG Fnatic, enjoy the victory, you bastards. What do you guys think of the final and the tournament in general. Good? Bad? Could have been better? I thought it was great, but the venue was pretty dull through it all. Unfortunately, I didn't see the venue during the finals as I watched it on GOTV, so I don't know if they changed. Other than that, it was fantastic.
One Million Viewers!!!~ DreamHack Winter hit 400k, believe it. CSGO is expanding quickly. NiP surprised everyone by making a last-minute roster shift again... Wow! ...Tec9 was nerfed... Valve will make many changes post-finals... Stay ready, everyone... The return of CZ is almost here, soon, soon, The Internationals are arriving... And when Valve hosts the International, it’ll be the biggest esport event ever! ^^^^ Lots of CSGO content—both hilarious and funny!

Does this cover the Twitch streams? The primary stream hit about 600,000 views. Also, the Rek9 seems to have been nerfed now since olofmeister achieved more kills with it than rifle kills. I think the Rek9 likely hurt my tournament performance because it was probably the most popular weapon.
