  • Team Liquid's 2019 line-up, with the addition of Stewie2k and coach adreN, are one of the 10 best teams to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. With 2019 not even finished yet, as of the recording of this video they accomplishments and statistics which leap off the page and would impress even the most hardened skeptic.
    Yet they won't be remembered as even the best team of this year, thanks to Astralis' resurrection to world number one status. NA's greatest line-up also failed to capitalise on a blazing unbeaten hot streak, nearly unparalled in history, and thus lost an era as it seemed certain to be secured.
    For Team Liquid line-ups in CS:GO, getting so close to victory but being denied in heart-breaking fashion has tragically been a dominant theme of the organisation's history.

    I think TL2019 might be one of the greatest tragedies in CSGO history. They were hyped up so much, greatest of all time material but circumstance and mentality kept them out of the realm of the elite.
    Oh wait fuck s1mple still doesn’t have a major.

Niko, guardian, karrigan, olof, and rain in that time were all S+ players while other than elige and naf, the other 3 members of TL were more A tier. Lot of credit should go to C9 for pulling a miracle at home but in hindsight faze should have crushed that series easily.

      i agree. if you want to take a break to grind before the major just skip events and boot camp or only go to events that are nearby to reduce travel stress.

      He means you don't have a world championship with ALL of the best players I'm guessing, and format wise. I don't watch tennis so I might be wrong, but you don't have other events which take 3 weeks to play, with BO3's in all the matches, with in most instances the top 16 teams in attendance. Most events have a few of the top 10 or top 5, and then various teams from the top 20 or who are from that region who got through qualifiers or invited.

      @@Masshorde In the official pro tennis circuit there are 4 types of tournaments:
      ATP 250s: Mainly top 100 players
      Comparable to a Dreamhack Open
      ATP 500s: Mainly top 50 players with a few top 10
      Comparable to a Starseries
      ATP 1000s (Masters): Premier tournament with the best players
      Comparable to a Cologne/Sydney/Katowice
      Majors: The most important tournaments of the year, with the biggest draw and of course with absolutely all the big names.
      Comparable to the CSGO majors.
      Imo Csgo and tennis are super similar in terms of how the circuit and ranking system works.

      But Liquid always playing a perfect cs even since 2018,the reason they cant never dominate the scene and create an era = it's because Astralis stopped them again and again
      The reason they almost got their 'era',simply because Astralis took a break in the summer

      Just look at 90% of Liquid's events after the major,100% they lost to Astralis in QF/SF/F
      It's not like Liquid lost all their 'power',it's just like 2018
