There was a point where I didn't die once in like 11 rounds. :| Their reaction at the end was pretty priceless. | ||

They're undoubtedly the third best NA team atm, for whatever that's worth (not much in the grand scheme of things, but nothing for other NAers to laugh at). They are not the 3rd best team in NA. shroud is a good player but all his skill is individual skill. He has never played on a real team and doesn't have any experience playing team based counter strike. I'm glad he's invite but he is very overrated. With time he'll be good but they're going to have to teach him quite a bit. Bloominator is a degenerate who flames everyone and has a bigger ego than Dazed, while being one of the worst players in invite (statistically along with fl0m). Everyone on the team is a mediocre player with egos (besides shroud) and they will probably be one of the worst teams in invite. The teams that are going to be competing for the 4 lan spots in esea this season are iBP, coL, denial, reliable ca, savage, and maybe united 5. | ||

It doesn't matter what you think of them personally, they have been showing respectable results in tournaments and scrims in the past month or two. Denial's past two games were pretty shakey and Reliable has not looked up to par. Savage I haven't seen and United 5 has potential but has not been doing well recently. If we're going by recent results in official and unofficial matches, XTS is the third best. coL has their number and iBP is certainly better, but the rest, just no, not until we see some head-to-heads.

Group B seems pretty straightforward, LDLC and NiP. 3DMax could upset LDLC on a good day. Group C my guess is fnatic and Reason Gaming, and Group D should be Na'Vi and Clan Mystik | ||

On another note, EMS Katowice Group Drawing: http://www.twitch.tv/esltv_cs You're basing all of this off 2 weeks of CEVO results and scrims whereas I'm basing this off of actually having played vs them. No team practices for CEVO, they basically show up and play the match as additional practice. Scrims don't mean anything. Good teams scrim to practice strats and executions whereas bad teams play to win scrims. You haven't seen savage play and they just added rush and mosbeck. How can you say XTS is top 3 if you haven't seen savage play? Reliable just replaced their worst player and added in someone who they have played with for years. Then you say "not until we see some head to heads" but the majority of the teams in cevo-p haven't even played their 2nd matches yet. No offense but you sound like an XTS fanboy. | ||

You're just theorycrafting with these teams because they've revamped their lineups yet have nothing to show for it so far. Please. Not like it matters what either of us think. Soon we'll get to see for ourselves how these teams fare anyway. | ||

Soon we'll get to see for ourselves how these teams fare anyway. So just because you've analyzed some scrims for XTS and none of the other teams they belong in the top 3? XTS is disliked by every invite team because of the way they conduct themselves and the way they play. There is a reason most invite teams didn't even want to scrim them last season. Its different viewing the rosters as an outsider as opposed to when you've played with and vs them. You might call it theory crafting but it isn't. You're right though, we'll see eventually but you are being extremely biased without knowing anything about any other team. | ||

And it doesn't matter how 'disliked' a team is, that has no bearing on their actual skill. | ||

I didn't say it did, only reason I brought it up was because you said I'm an XTS hater. Anyway its whatever we'll see in a few weeks. | ||

Is there a play/time schedule of when games will be streamed? I want to start watching professional teams play but no idea where to start. Also, which are the more popular teams out of those groups? I think fnatic is one but idk. The only csgo streams I've watched have been of them and Team Dynamic And is there any American teams in those groups? | ||

Group A is Titan 1st 4 sure ( they are steamrolling everyone currently) and idk didnt see how ex-AD is playing so i would say VP/mouz 2nd (love agressive ct play from mouz). Group B should be NiP LDLC. Group C really hard group to predict because fnatic didnt impress me these last few matches. But i guess fnatic 1st and IBP or Dignitas second. Group D well Na'Vi impressed me (especially zeus ) in last nights game vs mouz, and LGB eSports arent looking in a good form (atleast what i saw vs mouz this week) so i would assume close call between coL and Na'Vi for first place in the group. | ||
