For sure this will go down as one of the best Grand finals and tournaments of CS2 considering NA finally won something through Stew again which is massive. Im so happy GStew! Especially for Monesy as he really deserves that MVP and that #1 spot as the GOAT of CS2. Also Hooxi and his family must be so freaking happy that his team won while his sister also had the happiest day of her life!

[@Hardbiff]

yes, im sure this minor tournament finals, nobody gives 2 shits about in a week from now, will go down as one of the best grand finals of cs2. A game that exists for half a year. And all just because there was a standin from usa in one of the two eu teams and the 100% usa biased usa crowd screamed "usa , usa " and "fuck you apex". It was amazing, best thing to ever witness i must say.

[@Ryan-sr8fg]

@@Hardbiff IEM is one of the top tier tournaments with a good viewership dont play. and having a loud and proud crowd is good even if sided do you want people to just sit there silently? and yes in a few years it prob wont be as unique or particularly amazing but dont act like it wasnt a great grand final.

[@Bigman-hi2ne]

kinda unfortunate, I was there we didn't even know that the commentators or anyone else didn't appreciate the f u apex chant, we literally couldn't even hear the casters or anything unless we were all silent, hence why I'm rewatching this even when I was there. it was more of a joke, we just wanted our boy stew to win and we were being a bit ignorant of how much that would have to suck to be the other team. kinda an L but it wasn't actually personal, just convenient. kinda sorry for vitality fans, yalls boys didn't deserve that also the reason we get quiet is, again we literally couldn't hear anything, you had to be silent to hear commentators and such, and we're not a soccer crowd in Texas, we're generally pretty silent when we're watching things intently, like there was very little idle chitchat at all, we were entirely focused on that game, kinda sucks for a viewing experience unfortunately.

@@Mr.Helper. Stewie didn't win any trophy since 2019 up until recently. He became inactive in 2022 but played for Lagacy as a stand in in cs2 but didn't have much impact. Then G2 took him as a stand in as well due to hooxi having personal commitment (sister's wedding). But there he showed that he still got it.
