Gather around folks, for a grand final worthy performance by these 2 teams. Clutch after Clutch, MASSIVE individual plays, banger performance and my love for both these teams has increased a lot. CS fans worldwide, its been a treat.

[@rac8153]

Yeah, best series of the major and one of the best of 2024. Heroic really impressed me, they performed at a higher level than the teams in the other side of the bracket, maybe this series was the real grand final On G2, everyone showed up at different moment, Niko monster in the 2 first map then a meh showing in the last one compensate by Malbs best performance of the year.

Some credit to snax, when niko Monesy and hunter didn’t turn up in the second half, snax and malbs did

[@rayunited2010foryou]

Not waiting for the T to plant while being 2v1 together seems either a fixed game or retarded move. That round would have taken Heroic to14-13 with G2's economy on the rails. Sus move by Heroic.

[@LaidenLaPoint]

Man this felt like the Grand Final. Most intense match I've seen in a while.

[@guss25100]

Being a G2 fan is tough man. Almost had a heart attack and the length of the video baited me heavy. A 2x4 at 13x12 on overtime with 2:30min left on the timer - "Oh my god, G2 is actually going to fkn lose" - and then Malbs does THAT. At the beginning it seemed like he was feeling the pressure, but then he invoked THE DOCTAH for the decider. And congratulations to Heroic man, they were playing some beautiful CS, this really could've gone either way. What a game

[@benitohoco127]

Niko was almost 2.0 rating in first 2 maps... The reason that they got to the 3rd map was Niko alone Don't ever say Niko is bad in high risk games ever again Losing map almost 2.0 rating I have never ever seen that in my life Ever

Nah they r joke and still choking

[@_Stargazer_.]

💯 they got a year coming up with this confidence boost.

[@N00000OOOOBY]

great team just unlucky they played probably on paper the best team at this major

[@mathiasjensen4857]

I swear. Snax is a fucking legend stepping up when he needs to, and Malbs is such an amazing player who really can kick off in moments where pressure really is on his shoulders. Everyone talks about Monesy and Niko, but these 2 other lads are pure magic in that team!

[@rad8357]

Niko really wants to win this major ❤

[@p0Zai]

Pure cinema until the last round. NiKo one mans army. Today he was hitting all the shots. That triple deagle kill and the other multikills rounds after were so confident. And even a knife kill on Degster. If NiKo didn’t stepped up we would have lost nuke and went out the Major. So happy Snax the clutch king wins an important round on mirage. Malbs crazy clutch on OT was sick. We should have won the first match point. Heroic really played well and gave me a heartattack. They really had a great run at the major. We lost the pistols round which we normally confident wins. NiKo the best rifler deserves the Major. LFG 🔥❤️

[@rajatsingh2956]

Not just OT, his clutch on Mirage to give G2 7th round was insane too. Without it, G2 would have no money, and down 6-10. Malbsmd literally saved G2 in Mirage.

Hunter hardly gets the credit he deserves. Nobody really talks about his performances in dept etc. ... It always about the trio stealing the spotlight away from him . The amount of times he helped the team in this tournament drastically , changed the course of rounds/series , bodygaurded niko and monesy , amazing shots and kills which went unnoticed and not talked about again ... he may not have the aim all the time , but Hunter is all about pure team play.
