Just watch it, Heroic vs Gambit game 3, on Train, for ESL Pro League Season 13 Finals, it didn't even end so I don't know who won yet, but oh my, that's a banger.
One of the most intense game I've seen in a while, no more words, just go watch the WHOLE GAME when you can.

People not watching this game are missing out on so much great CS :D Best final in a long time.
I understand people missing the crowds and all, but man, how can one say this CS era is boring? Look at this game, and at cadiaN's play, what do we say about that? Very far from boring imo.
my issue is that it has been more or less the same game for many years. guns get nerfed and buff, but their functions are mostly the same. a few patches to maps make people play a little differently, but is still mostly the same. perhaps a new type of nade or equipment could be interesting and several new maps as well.
Your comment seems aimed at sports in general.
Yeah, football would like to have a word with that guy. Its been 11v11, two goals, 1 leather ball and basically the same set of rules for over 100 years.
I'm on board with getting new maps but the game fundamentally does not need to change. I can't think of another type of grenade that would improve the game but I'm open to changing my mind
Mate, I opened twitch for the first time in half a year. Saw "gambit vs. heroic" and went like "nope, gonna be boring" fml
Bruh, those are two of the most exciting teams
Say thanks to ESL for not streaming on YouTube anymore. Twitch doesn't run on my TV.
still hate the fact that this sub only does POST match threads and no LIVE match threads.
The official global offensive discord has an "esports" channel, people use it to chat live about the match
Such a Discord is not for chatting live. It's just for stating your emotions.
... and Reddit is? lol
Reddit doesn't hide comments after 5 seconds. You can seek out the best comments and ignore the rest.
There are often live match disscusion threads
often? lol nope.
very rarely (maybe in a major), yes.
this is a GRAND FINAL of a major tournament and no live thread. there was no live thread for the grand final of blast. or the grand final of katowice...
Where? I rarely see any, and didn't see one for this Grand Final.

The resilience from these teams is truly something to behold
Absolutely
Map 1 and 3 have both been great. People not watching because their favorite team isn't in the final are missing some great exciting CS.
cadiaN has adamantium bollocks.
And this is why I'll always think the people who don't watch finals because they're "nonamers" are idiots. Just because the traditional big names aren't in the final doesn't mean the game will be sleeper, the finalists are finalists for a good damn reason.
The same goes for when people call a miracle run a "fluke" - because that implies it was somehow undeserved. The truth of the matter is that the underdog played better CS than the big name, nothing more nothing less. What makes the big names the big names is their ability to adapt to those unfamiliar playstyles, to win that matchup they were "supposed to" next time.
I dont recall seeing any tournament final lately with so many overtimes.
This is such a banger game
Imagine if this was on LAN
Actually just ended, but if you can avoid the spoilers for the winner of that game, would be ideal.
DUDE this map is gonna break records
Lmao that scout noscope from drop
The madness just don't stop, even sh1r0's heart was going fast as the can showed it hahahaha
this is just one of the best finals in a while so far
Best finals ever.. I knew Heroic were best against gambit. Mad lads
Reminded me of Astralis v NRG at the Berlin groupstage, think it had 5 or 6 OT’s
Haven't visited this subreddit in awhile, but how come there's no match thread?
This sub only does post game iirc. I wish we at least had a match thread though, but it’s also more work for mods I’d assume.
They used to do live threads
I think at least a daily mega thread to talk about any matches that day instead of individual events so people visit them more often
Post match thread only. Kind of disappointing for a final
sh1ro 50-30
My. GOD.

I should not have procrastinated on all my shit... time to push it some more
It is still going on boys. If you haven't watched so far, last map is starting soon. Do NOT miss this one. Best final in a long time.
cadiaN went for that pop drop awp at least 4-5 times on that map and died every time lol
Those were calculated deaths to force more OTs which results in Gambit being even more broken mentally.
200 IQ IGL play
Top 3 awperigl 4 sure
The first time I was like, ok, nice try... but the others felt so silly, nafany had his number every single drop.
At the same time, it's the kinda of crazy cadiaN CS that makes them win a lot of rounds, specially that run through the smoke to secure the plant, I think it was him and stavn in a 2v4, crazy round.
I think he got it the very first time, after that, not so much lmao
at least 3 of those times felt kinda necessary / a good gamble to get back into the round, he managed to fire off the shot every time, so it really was also a bit unlucky that none of the bullets hit.
Probably would've won 4th ot when they were 2-0 on t before he did that on The 3rd
