why didnt he fire? is he stupid ?
My favourite whiff is still the Simple fail knife against Liquid, at match point. The fail allowing Nitro to clutch it, come back, win the map, and then defeat Navi. Defeating them once again later in the tournament.
Anyone got the mumbling at the beginning? Something..america
You can see the lack of ideas because of the "useful" update drought.
The line between genius and stupid is thin
Spunj is actually so insufferable
make a video on fave vs eternal fire round 39 QUICK!!
why did you bring up politics?
Man had all the power in his hands and chose peace.
Caboosing
Hyper fixating on a regular dumb play. What the fuck has cs become since I stopped playing.
The ultimate blunder so far
My rule is go for two, once there's a third guy walking through they will clear you, if you get the double you probably win the round in most situations
Betting Website, They Threw the Game.
People who actually play the game will know how easy it is to miss a shot to the back of the head. Ultimate’s position was crucial. If he had fired earlier he might as well have died also and left his teammates in a retake
that wasn't very Polska Gurom of him
fuckups in 4K is why I hate esports.
what a pillock
Cs2 is little off guys
we have 3kliksphilip major analyzer before GTA 6
Valve Pls Fix
brilliant video
Update: they are out of the tournament
more content like this pls
I'm no CS pro but I do play in Radiant lobbies in VALORANT and this seems like a fair play to me. He just got unlucky with the crouch timing and a shot that he only took out of panic because NAF committed to a dumb fight and died. If we should be blaming anybody here it should be NAF for peeking out so early despite the bomb not even being planted and HAVING info that they were both running onto B site. Why is he looking for a fight there? Just a useless aim duel that serves no purpose. Ultimate was probably waiting for the guy to start planting leading to 1 easy kill on an unaware planter and a easy flick to a guy probably holding an angle, not just trying to shoot 2 moving enemies in a corner with no cover. Sure he could have moved away behind that wall but it would have made it easier for the T's to regather their thoughts and just kill him easily.
Edit: Looks like he didn't peek out. He was waiting to see if they clear him. Still. It's easy, especially in a game like CS against glocks, to jiggle your way out of there with little repercussions. He committed too long to a gunfight and lost to Glock bodyshots. NAF Blunder of 2025, not Ultimate. Regardless, if you wanna nitpick like this, I can guarantee you there are probably far worse fundamental mistakes made by his own team considering they lost both games. It's a 5v5, not a "Ultimate VS Mongolz" match. There's a simple reason they lost and it's not because of this one single play I can guarantee you, they were just the worse team.
Also, that caster is genuinely weird. No idea what's wrong with him, shouldn't be acting like that at a professional tournament. Simply unbelievable the state of CS2 if that's your best guy
Nah the ultimate blunder was astralis being WASHED.
Imagine Ultimate watching this. RUB IT IN!
This gives me a bit of anxiety.
People make mistakes. Just let it go.
lol classic 3kliksphilip video
Oh god, that first round was so bad lol
US Teams are crumbling,and it is not surprising
Kurwa cs in a nutshell. Atleast they have some Russian players to root for.
Whole video might as well have been AI.
ofc spunj using ultimate as scapegoat for his f-buddy jkass
at least what you see is what you get
Think my comment was deleted. It was about the T side having much fewer players than CT in IRL, but having the advantage of knowing where the site is and when the game starts.
You analysed this entire thing from the wrong perspective — he wanted to wait longer to make his ninja play but he was forced to shoot early due to 910 spotting him on his way into the bombsite to plant (before he strafes into cover). you probably overlooked this because you assumed ultimate's eyes were on his crosshair, but really he realised 910's movements meant he was spotted and so his hand was forced.
…in light of this, you should also mention how ultimate should have comm'd to his team that he will take 1st contact, as NAF can just peek off ultimate, which would've been more optimal in the situation.
Please someone, tell me what philip says around 12 seconds about America… I tried my hardest but can't make up what he said, I really want to know tho lmfao
