Sunpayus has to be the most improved player in the league for 2023. It's crazy how much better he has gotten recently.

[@rac8153]

He outclassed the shit off Ziwho. 5 back to back duel won and 25k while Ziwoo had a beautiful 11-20

[@andreyp1300]

Insane individual performance, the question is that will he be able to play like that consistently. I would love to see another couple of multifrags

[@J1M95]

That's what team you click with does.

I feel like ENCE has actually build a TEAM right here. Good fraggers, gameleader and a star AWP with really good teamwork.. They even seem to like their coach. I'm exited about their future!

I have like never seen this level gameplay: teamwork, individual and confidence, everything! Simply amazing.

Sunpays outclassed Ziwoo completely. Thats the only thing you need vs vitality. If he has his usual invisible map when it matters, the whole vitality team crumble.

[@GodTier77]

@@GodTier77 Silver dont ever talk about CS ever again. Litteraly in the same event, Monesy completely outclassed Ziwho. In Rio/Katowice/Antwerp/Berlin/etc, lot of players have outclassed him like Broky-sh1ro; they even lost to freaking garbage team liquid. Ziwoo is super inconsistent in important games, he just goes invisible in a lot of them. There is a reason why VIT has never won a real major and finished 8-12th in a lot of events in 2022-2023

[@Mizha]

this is the most exciting, perhaps the best match I've seen in a while

[@rac8153]

Not close. it was too one sided, it was clear as soon as Ziwoo has another invisible map that Vit would lose. They really need to find a real IGL and not that screaming pompomgirl

[@jcdb2582]

Im not gonna lie i didnt like either team prior but heroic vs astralis yesterday if you havent give it a watch. That game was ELECTRIC

4:30 double window smoke to counter early Molly since sunpayus already went for the peek in earlier round

[@supaygato]

Good catch, tought it was miscommunication

[@AlarmingBlueThunder]

What an absolutely amazing series one of my favorites in recent history. I would be full tilt if I played cause sunpayus was on it. Fantastic performance from ence

[@jesusismylordandsavior3537]

I mean flameZ is insanely great addition to Vitality. He got the skills and clutch but dupreeh's knowledge on the game is unmatched. I always saw on face cam that hes been talking to apEX every round before launching a strike. Don't forget that he can multi frag and has a great impact on every round to win. I understand Vitality's decision on investing to a young player but Dupreeh? Damn he's old but he is Gold I'm still rooting for vitality tho, with flameZ they can go a long way and win tournaments.

[@akaneru1935]

No hes not a great addition, i much rather they took an experienced role player like JACKz to replace dupreeh, and Jackz has been shown to be capabl, flameZ way of playing is too immature and he always created loopholes for enemy to capitalize on, especially his ct side hold, and retake

[@frutato7498]

​@@akaneru1935JACKZ straight up mega downgrade 😂are you kidding me, they would rather keep dupreeh in the team any day if that was their only option.

[@musclebob7436]

No seriously they already have Spinx Zywoo, Magisk, and won a major, what was the purpose?

Maden is playing well these days, so is sunpayus lmao they're watching too much of anime ig, well played ence, dupreeh must b laughing now, tho flameZ has more potential,but dupreeh had that confidence and experience which flameZ has 5% of it,this shit will take time, but it's ok since it's for the c2 project too after all

[@NoorNabiLakho2020]

Ok

[@KingOfBudJuice]

Watching vitality lose is the most satisfying thing I have ever seen in cs 😂

[@rac8153]

They cant just pretend that they won a real major and made "a huge upgrade" without actually showing up. Apex is still garbage, magisk still washed up, Ziwoo has his usual completely invisible map or series like he did at Rio major, Antwerp and Kato. Spinx is pretty decent but choke sometimes and Flamez hasnt found his place in the team.

[@Kake765]

[@flyingswiss]

Thats what i thought, just went to the comments to check if anyone else noticted

[@SGI077]

I don't like the flamez addition. Dupreeh brought so much experience and just calmness in those tense situations and is also an amazing support. Vitality already has all the firepower they need in zywoo spinx and magisk. They need players that sacrifice their own performance for the team and flamez is not that kind of player.

[@akaneru1935]

Finally someone with a rational statement regarding FlameZ addition, for me, FlameZ added nothing to Vitality, he can fairly entry frag on T, inconsistent on CT site hold, worst on retake, hes a showman at most, the way hes playing is so immature and i dont get why so many goons so keen on him joining Vitality, Zywoo and Magisk has to regularly pick his slack

[@cottonmather8146]

Stop the cope. They would've lost with Dupreeh as well 😂

[@immune18]

Agreed 100%. It was a silly move, the most important factor for them is getting the best out of zywoo, we know he performed in that lineup with dupreeh so it's stupid to change it.

[@rac8153]

Vit didnt win a single real major before with Dupreeh too and finished often barely top 8-top 12 at events. They had the same problem of putting all their eggs in Ziwoo who dont show up all the time and wasting a spot on a glorified screaming pompomgirl for IGL

[@j_kaRN]

can’t blame flameZ for ZywOo falling off during playoffs. Dupreeh was a bum on this team and way past his prime, tf was he gonna do against a fired up ence team? Calm the team down when they’re getting dicked down on Vertigo?

[@brixtergeronimo3352]
