Been a big fan of his for a while now. yea col can definitely be good but they need to get rid of frod because hes way too far behind to ever be good again. if they got someone like witmer they would be pretty solid. | ||

I def think he can do it if going fulltime. | ||

2) nV: Highly entertaining to watch, potentially the most skilled roster alongside the new Fnatic. Super aggro, superbly coordinated flash plays, best T side in the game, but worst CT side amongst the top teams. Kings of eco. 3) ex-TSM: Another extremely skilled roster, but their overall consistency leaves them trailing behind Fnatic and nV. device and Xyp9x are their only two really consistent rocks, while dupreeh, cajunb and karrigan come and go. Very fundamentally sound team, really coordinated and strong on both sides of the map. Play a much more risk-free game than nV. Fnatic's kryptonite. Have three players who can AWP pretty well (device, cajunb and karrigan). 4) Na`Vi: Team specializes in playing slowly, often relying heavily on GuardiaN to make things happen. flamie is an extremely explosive rifler while seized is a highly underrated, solid player. They differ from most teams in that their coach, starix, is their IGL and not one of the players. Haven't watched much of them ever since starix became IGL so can't say much more. 5) VP: Most up-and-down top team. High highs and very low lows. Aggression is sometimes on par with nV's, which makes them fun to watch, and they're probably the second or third best T-side team atm alongside TSM. They're known for the "Virtus Plow," which is when their switch is flipped and all of their players suddenly have 100% accuracy and run around shooting everyone's face off with little regard for setups/executes. Snax is the sneakiest player in the world and byali is like the Polish version of kioshima. One of the most likable teams due to the personalities of TaZ and pasha and the legendary history of Neo. | ||

You just watch the games and you will eventually come to like a team's style more than the rest. I enjoy watching every top team but g2 and nv the most. G2 are this new concept where you mix some players with different nationalities. Turned out like a wok, whatever's in, it's still good. And they have Rain who just seems so like-able to me. But I don't feel bad when they lose, it's still good CSGO and I enjoy it. Come to think about it, I am a rain and fox fan, not exactly g2 fan. | ||

I've watched some of NaVi, EnVyUS and fnatic, and it seems like fnatic is kind of like the powerhouse Yankees of cs:go. Can any kind individual give me a quick overview (link is okay) to what the top teams are like, or will I just have to watch a shit load more games and interviews, etc.? I don´t quite like the yankees comparison, as fnatic was the underdog for quite some time. Hard work and an incredibly smart roster switch (Olof and Krimz in for DW and Schneider) brought them to the top, not throwing money at stuff. | ||

Three of their players are top 10 in the world (olof, Krimz and flusha), with olof and flusha both being in the top 5 and olof being the best in 2015 overall. Deepest map pool in the game, which is a huge strength. 2) nV: Highly entertaining to watch, potentially the most skilled roster alongside the new Fnatic.
