Biggest CS:GO event in America

GROUP A
1 - Ninjas in Pyjamas
2 - Luminosity Gaming
3 - mousesports
4 - Flipsid3 Tactics

GROUP B
1 - FaZe
2 - Fnatic
3 - Splyce
4 - Team Liquid

GROUP C

2 - Astralis
3 - Gambit Gaming
4 - Counter Logic Gaming

GROUP D
1 - Natus Vincere
2 - Virtus.pro
3 - G2 Esports
4 - Cloud9

With less then a week to go I'm so up for this. Hopefully we can finally see a NA team reach the Quarter-Finals and become a legend team. However unlikely it may be. I believe this will be the biggest Major the CS:GO Community is yet to see. I see Fnatic and LG battle it out or Na'Vi can't see any others making it to the Grand Final. With the prize money that's been raised there is definitely no shortage in the motivation department.

What do you think will happen?

Wait why isn't EgN on the list?

Because Gold Novas don't make professional CS:GO teams.

Astralis has a decent shot too, they can catch fire anytime they want.

I disagree with that. They caught fire for a while under the TSM banner and start reaching a few tournament finals. But Fnatic got their shit in order and nV dropped shox and SmithZz. Now TSM are Astralis and they are back where they were at this time last year. They just can't seem to beat NiP or nV and have struggled against both sides in all the majors dating back to the formation of their current line-up when they lost to NiP 2-1 in the quarter-finals at Katowice 2015. That's two gigantic monkeys that they really need to get off their back.

Against the top 4 teams in the world Astralis seem to drop maps a lot, they just can not seem to win against them. nV can come out strong at this major even though they had a bad time lately. Like I said I struggle to see any other teams making it to the final. However I do think we can see some dramatically close matches in day 2 and day 3 of this major which I am looking forward to.

Will most likely be
A. LG
B. FNatic
C. EnVy and Astalis are both in a wierd slump, but can really play, i've seem Astralis not to long ago light it up, along with EnVy. I'm taking Astralis in that group
D. I think the upset here is coming, i see VP coming out over Na'Vi.

I bought stickers for my fantasy team and stickers for who will win each match, and I practically know nothing about these nerds. Take my money Valve

They've dropped the first map in every Bo3 they've lost at a major championship.

Yeah, I was so ready to believe that Katowice was a blip. But back to back Bo1 defeats to G2 and then 2-1'd by NRG who were fielding a stand-in... and more recently, they were beaten convincingly by Na'Vi over two maps.

I think you're really over-stating the rise of Astralis. They were doing great in the smaller tournaments for a while but Cologne last year proved that they're just not a top 1, top 2 team in the world even at their best. Wouldn't surprised if they tried to acquire kjaerbye and k0nfig from Dignitas after this upcoming major.

Na'Vi 2-0'd VP not too long ago. I don't think there's any reason to believe it won't happen again.
