The very next match they couldn't connect in time and the other team chose to not request for them to get disqualified. Fallen is sending the guys 5 imperial shirts.

I'm not joking.

In any other region the team that would have gotten the forfeit win would be laughing their way straight to the next round.

273
caiovigg:FURIA:•

The guys are Brazilian as well and had 0 perspective of actually qualifying. Playing against a real team and earning 5 free shirts is an easy deal tbh.

Now, if they were a serious team, they should've asked for the forfeit.

RJLPDash:FaZe: Major Champions :Trophy:•

Ngl, if I had the choice between advancing in a tournament where I'd probably lose my next game anyway or playing against 5 legends of CS I'd probably just wait for them, the experience would likely be worth more than any prize money you probably wouldn't win anyway

233
caiovigg:FURIA:•

Exactly. The whole point of those teams to play in open qualifiers is to have fun, I would rather lose 0-16 against imperial than losing 16-14 against some random team down the road. The game being streamed and the shirts are just bonus at this point.

Mrdicat:Imperial:•

Playing against legends, not just a "real team"

pancada_:FURIA:•

But they were only offered the shirts after deciding to play. So the comparison is qualifying to the next round vs playing with last dance

The guys were actually fans and had no chance of qualifying, for them is way cooler to get the jerseys and actually play with their idols than screw them over.

Things really haven't changed around here since ever I feel. Sometimes I feel the HLTV forums have less actual xenophobia going around because most people there who post offensive shit are blatant trolls. People around here are overall worse cuz they pretend to have some moral/intellectual high ground when their takes are absolutely misleading and dogshit all the time and commonly get their opinions into racist/xenophobic territory.

EDIT: Some comments on this thread are so absurd and nonsensical that it would be legit funny if it wasn't so sad and tiring to see the same bs repetitive "expert" arguments/opinions from people completely outside the regional scene. Just some comments below there is a guy making hypotetical situations in his mind and later saying he could not know it wasn't like that because he didn't know the context... Like, if you don't even have the context why tf are you even making an opinion comment on shit you have no clue what you're talking about? Wtf is wrong with you people just making shit up all the time when there is a brazilian team in discussion?

as an, I assume, American.

Considering he has posted in r/Romania in a different language, he is probably not American. Good that you showed you are no different than him with the second post you made. Actually, you are even worse than him with your response.

Why does the other team have to request for that in the first place? Such things should be set in stone by the rulebook, im pretty confident these guys didnt ask for it because theyve seen the abuse other br teams have got in the past (FURIA).

-3†
joaovitorsb95:FURIA:•

These guys are not an actual team, just a group of friends messing around in the qualy. To them it was way cooler to play aggainst FNX, Fallen etc then to go foward a rounf and lose either way.

28
wkksskksks•

The point is its a qualifier for a massive event, why are not such rules written out clear as day so no dumb kids go harrassing and threatening people over such things.

You dont go to a qualifier because it's "very cool to delay the matches when the other team should forfeit but you're afraid of the backlash (for no real reason mind you)". I imagine most of these teams are going to such qualifiers in hopes of going as far as they can.

I doubt these guys were thinking "playing vs this team would be SO COOL, were gonna lose anyways in the next round lol".

-31
joaovitorsb95:FURIA:•

They were thinking exactly that though LMFAOOOOO.

They were super pumped when Fallen said in the chat that he was going to send them jerseys for not forcing the forfeit. It probably didnt even cross their minds to actually accept the forfeit.

They were all saying stuff like "I Love you Fallen", "Boltz sign my profile", "fnx you are the man".

They were super fans of the guys, they were super happy at the end of the game when they won the seccond pistol round.

You are trying to force this narrative of the Imperial guys threatning these dudes with their following when that was so so so so far away from what actually happen. And its super weird that you are doing that because you actually didnt watch the game, and you dont know absolutelly nothing that happened before the match.

You are just weird.

41
dc-x•

Yeah, it's absolutely crazy and unprofessional for tournament organizers to leave it to the players to choose whether or not they should follow their own rules.

Even if the players are fine with it and are willing to support the popular option, you're bound to have situations where they aren't and they will have to deal with the backlash themselves because of this.

Also, Gaules with the casual +200k viewers in this qualifier match.

If they get to a qualifying match aggainst a team like Furia, Liquid or something like that in the RMR, my guess is Gaules easily gets over 500k viwers.

Assuming those are literally just 5 'randoms' who are just doing this for a bit of fun, imagine how cool that must still be? Having literally 200k people watching you play CS. Even if you do get 16-0'd - so what? You got to play against literal major winners, including one of (I'd say) the most influential players in the history of CS.

I've played several top50 teams in qualifiers and mostly we managed to take like 5-10 rounds from them, mostly because they play quite puggy against weaker teams. So yeah, there definitely is a chance to make a cool play once in a while :)

Nah, people brag they had the chance to play with/against a pro player in MM, imagine playing against a full team of legends. They might not be top tier anymore, but I would tell everybody all the time I played against those guys. Bonus points if I somehow manage to get a knife kill or something.

20
DeadmemeememdaeD•

nah nah nah this ain't it

Fallen/Fer/FNX are legends and idols to pretty much everyone whos in this qualifier, I guarantee everyone who isn't at least semi pro level would want to play against the Last Dance, even if they'd get stomped 16-0

lol how bad were these guys? I’d expect a team of GN4’s to get 6 kills between them in 16 rounds 😂

Hilarious was the way they were eliminated by WO (by the rules) in the next match but the other team forgave them and asked the admin to allow the match to happen. Absolutely crazy how the last dance could have been eliminated because Fallen didn't connect to the server

Mrdicat:Imperial:•

that's just textbook fairplay tbf

True, but it's amazing that the team was on that situation. Depending on the other team, there's so much at stake

Ferreira1•

Meh these aren't really organized teams at this stage of the championship. I would've taken the game vs CS legends versus advancing and probably losing the next game anyways in their position too.

Which makes this whole stage of the tournament super weird to me. There should be some criteria for teams entering. But I guess that's just the nature of open qualifiers.

LibertyGrabarz:Party: 1 Million Celebration•

But I guess that's just the nature of open qualifiers.

Exactly.
I'd say the more accurate problem here is why these veterans are wasting time by playing against some MM gold novas, but that also has easy explanation - they might be veterans, but their team is brand new

Mrdicat:Imperial:•

Definitely. If they were playing an NA or EU open qualifier that fairplay probably wouldn't happen, but they're brazilian legends

Dude, you dont know what you arr talking about, every meme about Imperial is the fans saying stuff like "it was close Fallenzao, you will get this NA tier 4 team next time"

The fans of this team know they wont be tier 1, maybe even not tier 2, and the messaging from Fallen and the team has been just like that "we will try our best but this is about the joy of playing with these guys again". Fallen literally said that in the anouncement stream.

So shut the hell up will ya.
