Congratulations Black Dragons!

How excited Brazil must be! They beat Super Valient (China) 2-1 in a best of 3 in the final match.

They made history! This is the first time a non-Chinese team has won CFS. Congratulations Black Dragons

This is CFS Invitational, a separate tournament from CFS Grand Final where STDx will be competing. Yyou can see all the different tournaments here: http://www.crossfirestars.com/en/sitemap

Yes, I'm also looking forward to STDx placing Top 3 in CFS Grand Final *fingers crossed*

It looks like an end of an era for chinese domination in the competitive CF scene. It doesn't help that they don't train with CFS equivalent or similar weapons in their pro league or national finals since using VIPs or any other weapons doesn't provide the same skill level and that's why they come in with a disadvantage at international competitions despite having a bigger national competitive community than every other nation but I'm less surprised since cracks from SV have been shown as far back in CFGI 2017 when MZiN struggled against Revenge from Pacific Macta ... (Also Pacific Macta isn't very prepared up against the top vietnamese team when they also didn't compete with CFS weapons in their national finals)

MZiN needs to be replaced when he is so far behind compared to the sniper's on the other teams. As for STDX, I don't even expect them to be semi-finalists and being stronger than Flipsid3 isn't all that impressive since they aren't a strong international team anymore. In last year's CFS, F3 was able to curb stomp Freedom Gaming but during this invitational they got destroyed by the EVA team which consisted of the VERY same players from Freedom Gaming!

At this point, F3, KOWAI and RuLegends are the least of STDX's worries when getting paired up with the brazilian, chinese, philippine or vietnamese teams in group stage means they could instantly not make it to the playoffs ...

2 of SV's players were sick the entire event i don't think this means anything for the chinese domination spree. Black Dragons played great but take into account SV's players weren't at their best and they were still extremely close. I believe SV will continue to dominate. Just because someone beats people at the top doesn't instantly mean the top is no longer relevant (not saying you said that just wanted to add it in)

Actually, 3 players on SV were sick according to DAOBOQ in a semifinals interview which included himself, 18 and I think MZiN but still MZiN made so many mistakes not just against vianna1 from Black Dragon's but also against RAMBO from the EVA team.

If you mean by "continue to dominate" as in win the vast majority of their competitions or matches then maybe but their days of being able to win every map are over since their competition from other regions are getting a lot stronger. I get your point that SV is still relevant for now.

The biggest question now is going to be who's going to secure the 2nd slot chinese team and how well they'll do in CFS. I think 5United Gaming is probably the favourite for winning the 2nd slot.

I dont know what youre talking about but first of all did u even know that we all had to play with 75 hertz / crap chairs and literally not enough space and that affects every player differently . And N9 wasnt showing up like he normally does . And we (F3) played bad because we literally didnt even practice like we should and some of us didnt play individually enough public what is a shame if you get the chance to play at a Tournament like this .
But it was a lesson for us and we will bounce back at CFS with a good preparation .

And SV players werent sick during the final .. and trust me SV will bounce back u have to realize its harder to stay at the top than getting to the top

????????????
You placed last, yet again. Stop making the same excuses “no practice”. If supposedly you aren’t practicing then why would you even go? What a waste of a spot, smh.

All of that is just an excuse, you guys had THREE chances this year to show your strength in international competitions and you blew them all ...

CFIEM 2017, CFGI 2017, CFSI 2017 but worst of all you're now admitting that your team hasn't been practicing like they should be when the grand finals is less than a month away ?! I could excuse your team's performance in CFPL S10 for various reasons yet you guys didn't even win the qualifier for CFPL S11 either ...

Bounce back how ? Just how confident is your team going to be able to place into the top 4 like last year ? Are you guys at least getting some matches in against Black Dragons in CFNA ? Practicing against STDX, KOWAI, RuLegends may not be enough depending on your team's goals ...

As for SV bouncing back it depends on what you mean. I doubt they'll be able to perform like they previously used to when competition is getting extremely hard with other teams such as Pacific Macta, EVA team, and especially Black Dragons making dents but I can still see them keeping their first place for the upcoming CFS grand finals ...
