I can't feel it all around.
I'm gonna call people Kevin, yeah
I'm going to get you out of the way, I'm going to get you out of the way, I'm going to get you out of the way.
I didn't see any guns with the gun, did you watch that?
I didn't see it.
I did it on the mat.
I am here, I am here.
I'm here.
I'm here, I am here.
I'm here.
No need to smuggle.
I can shoot.
I'm on the mat.
I can shoot, I can shoot.
You don't do that, what?
Okay.
I'm really.
Yeah.
Yeah, shoot.
I can shoot.
Let's take your district shot.
Guys, we're going to feed each other.
Okay.
What's the velocity?
What?
I'm going to wait until I believe we're going up.
I pressure up.
Get your homoly.
Yes, go ahead.
I can do my homoly and I do flash.
No, homoly.
I'm going to set up.
Oh, I'm going to flash.
Let's do my best.
Okay.
Okay. Let's go.
Let's go.
I give you my mic.
Matty, you lost to give me your swing.
I'll put this one.
That's a long push now.
I'll leave this.
I think it's aley
And because
That's what this area really did to the first
yes
There's short
We're here, check everything
I'll see you in a few seconds
I'll check on the left
I'll check on the left and then I'll click
I'll see you in front of them
Do you see one?
Yes, do you see one?
Do you see one?
Don't see anyone
Yes, you see one
I see one
Oh, look at the look
there's this one
I don't know what it's
It's ok
I don't know what it's
I'm ready
I'm going to stand on the floor
Come at me
It's too hot
How much is your shot?
21MD.
Can you run after him?
I don't know, I'm 24.
First one.
I control 3 kills again.
I have a flash.
You have a flash?
No, no, no, no.
I get to rush here.
I'll go back now.
I'll play with you.
You'll be on PNP.
I'm going to Molly left side doors.
Can't do it.
I'm going to Molly down.
But do you want first?
I'll say where we can go.
Make it before we end the meeting.
I'll get that on the middle.
They come up with a shot.
Can I keep it?
Can I?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Can I push it?
Can I?
Can I keep it?
I can go with the last shot.
Maybe it's broken with faggels.
If you want, you can go with them.
Yeah.
Flash but too?
I don't think I should have shot.
Let's take a look.
Oh, come on.
I think it's a lot.
Is it a lot?
Yes.
I'm not sure if you think that this is the end?
Shut up!
I think that's the end of the video.
Don't hesitate!
I'm going to wait for him.
Yeah.
We'll be there when you pick him up, and bring him to pick him up.
We'll be there when you pick him up.
Robert, get him.
Three, two, one.
Search him.
No!
Search him!
Go!
Thank you.
Go!
Get your first one.
I'll take him to pick him up.
I'll take him right away.
I'll take him to the right.
I'll take him down.
I'll take him to the right.
Let's go.
I'm all too dangerous, Robin.
The last one, sir.
Can we meet?
No!
Fuck, but...
Counter strike combat in 2025 Dallas, Texas, some of the best counter strike players in the world
they're going to put through their paces, tests, trials, tribulations, who's going to pass,
who's going to come out on top?
We've got one man, Rushley, A, Rushless, and standing by official referee joining us today
to adjudicate nobody does a better than this guy in the business, let's get into it.
Yeah, just need to plug in the keyboard, the mouse, and straight in the monitor.
Okay.
Oh, monitor first.
Interesting.
I don't know the cables now.
Found a hole in the hole now under the table.
This is where it gets top.
You could eat his head here.
First of all, he's hitting that's clean.
Second U.S.B. in.
He's off.
He's on the check-up.
Stop the clock.
On 16.
That's what it is.
The skin is on.
No.
The skin is on.
Right?
No, no, it's fine. You're fine.
He's against me.
He's not well-fucked.
I wanted to first his wife learning to receive a...
It's under his strength.
He's struggling with the US.
Stop, stop.
Seventeen seconds.
Work!
All right. Are you feeling prepped and ready for this?
This is about reactions.
direction and I'll throw it right here.
Okay, six out of no, if it's good.
Let's take a breath.
The 12 is going like it.
Getting himself poised.
He's been able to do this.
I didn't tell you that.
I can do better than this.
Okay, sorry mate.
Excuse us.
Oh, the kiss is missing!
It's consistent for a couple of years now.
We got these hands.
You're all scared. You got these hands.
Ooh, consist of the board there.
Yeah.
157 average desire, we're all right, it picks up to bat.
Ooh, there look, here's an older general.
Yeah, let's see if all people can say
that the reaction time starts going down at 25.
I want you to be comfortable.
One, I love you.
Oh, we've done it on the fire, but it's two years old.
So that the average is, that the average is,
That can't get out of the corner, don't let me stress.
Oh, that was so long.
Yeah, this one was right.
Yeah, both of the angle, you hold the angle, you hold the angle.
I'm not good at all the angle, I'm not good at all the angle.
That's not used to be longer than that.
But still, what 58?
We can work with that.
Oh, it's getting worse.
It's getting worse.
It's still in the though.
Still in the though.
It's getting worse.
Oh, it's getting worse in the worse.
You can redeem it all here.
No, it's up up now.
He can redeem it all right now.
I'm going to want twin.
58, how much though?
157, 158.
So I was going about what they did.
They didn't open.
The best thing in the world, I'm just being business.
Okay, so let's send the scene.
12 11, map five.
Major on the line.
Well, I'm going to just go one for one
on the opening of your 44.
You've bothered it.
You missed an upshot.
Again.
And he's dead.
Again?
Okay, I'm dead.
Okay.
Three, three, four,
Mezzi gets a triple kill, wins you the series.
Whoa, that's fine.
You just want the magic.
You're ready.
One, twenty-nine.
We have to be with the light.
It came from the deep.
Yeah, that's it.
One, twenty-nine as well.
Ooh, they hit the same levels, same levels.
We haven't had enough of four.
We're good.
History made today.
Okay, so here's what's going to happen.
Whistle goes off, hands come off the table,
you grab the water, lead needs to come off,
sip and water, lid back on back in its place.
And time to come off.
All the legs, six seconds, could have shouted the second off there.
Could have shouted the second off there.
I'm not good at it.
I need to, sorry, stretching a little bit.
Livering up here.
Yeah, I haven't seen this so long.
Yeah, it is really cute.
Yeah, that's where I wasn't going to do it.
I did it on one of you.
Are you thirsty?
Hey, I'm not thirsty.
All right.
You ready to go?
Yeah.
You ready?
Oh, oh.
Hey, actually, it's tough for me.
What's your four seconds?
Yeah.
Oh, shoot.
Shoot.
I'm going to use it.
You're going to use it.
Oh, that's fine.
Yeah.
When you're ready, referee?
46.5.
That's a good note.
Second highest today.
OK.
Are you ready?
I don't want you to hurt your hand here.
Not a fan.
Every sense of all about this.
May just come in.
Here we go.
Oh.
Wait, what's 45.3?
What's good?
Very close.
He's going to do it for there.
I know.
I would say that if I were in that.
What's that?
This is the starts in this book to win the major.
Okay.
Now what's going to happen is, I'm going to call that a number.
Okay.
Lower the whistle.
Once the whistle goes, you open the book to the page, corresponding with the number
I give you, and you must read the strategy aloud.
Okay.
What's the pitch?
Wait.
All right, here we go, H41.
Okay, it's not already.
Okay, it's a lot of pages.
Yes, goodby.
Nine seconds.
Lot of pages to handle there, lot of pages to handle there can get tough.
Can I get a tough cumbersome page 52?
Who's losing play?
You've got some luck on the pages.
Chuh!
It was worth it.
Yeah, that's, I wouldn't call that strap.
I probably won't work.
Okay, 11 seconds.
We did play for the pages.
You've got to look at you, you've got to win streak.
I don't believe it, I don't believe it.
That was the fortune in the pages, okay.
Okay, banana speed eating. How do you feel about such a state-of-the-art?
No, you don't. I have a six-dollar rhythm.
I have a really big secret, but I can't see it.
Speed peel technique there.
Whoa!
Four seconds!
I just can't let this go to play?
Well, you don't have to compete if you don't want.
I think you're all ready. I don't know. I can trade but it's poor. So I don't DQ. It's no time recorded unless you want to give it a go.
I don't try. Okay, so you're gonna give it a go. Let's
Oh, oh, it's on board on that. Oh, quick on the chewing. No bad. Five to half hours.
I don't know if you just want to know this. Yeah, good job. You see, buddy.
So right now, you're going to get these basketballs, you're going to get three shots.
We want to see how many utility is.
So sometimes it's not a set-and-a-s, sometimes it needs to be on the fly and you're really
with the distances.
There's nothing.
Three shots.
Take your time.
Look at that.
I think I have no pressure.
Oh, okay, get up now.
Oh, that's the extra points.
I tried to tank him to end up in the front.
What do you say?
That was the fact that it fell off on the shot.
Are we going again?
He's done? He's going again? He's done. He's holding the red for Ray.
How do you feel like you perform in turn for all?
I have two shiitani and I beat him.
I think he's able to hit the red, but it's all right.
Do you guys feel like you're ready to win in Dallas?
I think you're ready to win in Dallas?
That's it.
Okay, hope to be the win.
Six and a number in your role.
Beautiful. Thank you very much.
Good luck.
Alright that's it.
He's gonna sleep on it, he gets flashed off,
Still we got him, we got him, we got him, we got him,
Sometimes it all speaks to full it's too down.
Down, in a suit.
Spent pretty sketchy won't fix it at 1v2.
It doesn't matter that he has to reload.
It's a won't be one that he goes around the sea.
Who cares how does this keep happening?
Bro!
Come on, let's go!
Give me shots from the sniper, there's Missineel again!
The try to find it!
He's trying to hit a shot with the orb, but neither of them will find another!
It's going to be full of shots with a game with the flash-cranked fury!
Oh!
The sniper is full!
He keeps the conversation alive, now he's trying to block Raster combat and double kill!
Techno's the chance to help!
Yeah, he's got himself a perfect angle for it, no flash connects!
Connect to both of the other two in at a multi-kill again from Kaceralta.
Doesn't stop McCawzi from dealing with him however, so it takes from nowhere.
A couple of his kills. He kills, but he's all alone here.
Hey, running him down!
I'm not just running through, but it's here, and I'm running through these magic, the butcher.
Because it's so cold, you don't even want to go outside.
Shout out to Yavio one time.
Oh, dear!
Well, fine, really making this drink absolutely phenomenal.
In that case, this is the champion of the Angel.
It's springing out there.
The world of five on each other.
Sturps to the left.
The Angel is going to take us five to three seconds left.
I love this, can you read it?
He's going to start it all the way to see it.
I love this.
This is a massive movement.
But he's going to attack.
We're just the next skill.
He won't let him go.
She's in the arena.
And it's all done.
I'm just drawing Chris.
I'm going to lay the ball row.
When they fall to settle victory over classes,
I think they did a good job.
They did a good job.
Take the ball, dude!
Give it up for your head, tell them,
X-ray, that's just what I'm gonna do!
The Intel Extreme Master's crack-off, when he 26, brought to you by ESL, partnership with Intel,
The answer predator, G-A-K-L.
Sout.
Check.
And see you, friends.
Hey, things on the agenda today, and I'm not talking about Berlin International Gaming
am I messy?
No, you're not.
They are definitely not at the intelligent master's, are they?
Not this time.
No, but you're here, and you've definitely won this before, and I don't all mean you crack
out, just down the road and cut a pizza, but we are in the arena right now, they're
getting set up.
Talking about some of the feelings.
It's looking good in here, I'm excited to hopefully play, of course, the chances is
today to get through to the players, but it's looking cool, it's always exciting to play
in the arena and especially in the new one as well first.
Have you ever had to wear a heart hat for anything in your life?
No, but at a fun, maybe, right?
I've only ever... nothing to use, uh, I'm a game and we don't have to wear hot hats.
True.
But I mean, you guys do put in their work for vitality and you do get the option today to play a three-maxed.
You play before, sometimes gets a little argy bargey, sometimes with a little yelling, what do you think?
Ah, I think it's always fun.
Especially against the French, I mean, somehow we even turn our own French against the French, so it's always nice to play against them and, like, say, a bit of a trash...
But trust or it's always fun against these guys, it's going to be a fun one.
So you're saying you guys are going to lock it in, you're coming back in here to take it all.
That's the pun, I mean you never know against these guys that play some crazy CS but that's
the goal we want to be back in a arena and it'll be good on hand.
Well, as the allergy get back to building the stage or whatever was you were doing in here,
play off, contention on the line right here, that's right, we've got three max taking on vitality,
Gravity and Apex friends in the server friends outside of the server friends. Yeah, what do you think man?
No, we're gonna fuck them. Okay. Well
He's sorry that one kind of called me off-guard look has pretty max ever beaten by Tality
No, we never been them, but today it's gonna be a good day for us. Yeah, day. What do you think Dan you feel the same?
Yeah, I mean for us it's a good snooing the player's trick we have and thinking about that
So it's held because you prepare again, we know what's going to happen.
Yeah, because it feels like most of the time it's the story of vitality, ruining the
good time that 3D Max might be having in a bracket somewhere and you're saying that
that changes today.
Yeah, that's true.
Most of the time they fucked us and say, in the truth, they fucked us down the best
team in the world.
So we have to prove today that we can do it.
So one year ago in one day, you guys met in Katavita, I know one year in one day, it was
like a short little anniversary here.
It got close on the first map.
there are some yelling going on.
What's going to happen today in the server?
Is it going to be a lot of the same?
No, I wish they'd come.
This focus to win the game, but that's it.
Yeah, Dan, how do you play?
I don't think I've ever seen you play like that.
No, I mean, for me, I didn't have a thing
about doing something before.
If it happens during the game, I have to scream out of it.
But no, actually, I think the, for 15 rounds,
for 30 rounds the last time, I was pretty quiet.
Just focus on why I had to do.
And when I had to step up and spit more, I did.
So that's all about that.
I'm not here to just rush talk, I'm here to win, and if I can rush talk, when I feel it, I do it.
Alright, well let's go one more with this. Say one thing nice about your opponent, Dan.
Well, I actually think that I mean different first of all.
So it's a good thing.
I said nice Dan now.
The second is I think they really convinced by the way they play, and they like that, and when they are being good on that, they can be genuine.
So yeah, I think that's the strength.
That was nice man. You got anything over here, gravity?
That was able.
That's nice. That's all you got.
That was very nice.
Fair enough, gentlemen. If you want to shake hands, you can, if not,
it's time to place a counter strike. So let's get it on.
Now before we can get day six, start.
It won't be recap a little bit about how on earth day five went.
A bit of a crazy one from the casting desk for us, but I don't want to start there.
You can see these results from the A stream at the top of your screen.
But I want to draw attention first to what was going on on the beast.
stream we did wave goodbye to two teams yesterday and one of the first was
Paravision losing out versus Australia.
That made it easy for everybody to understand the team to go great out of
gone hard, right? So you can see even the G2 full game in the
mountains in our G game, though we weren't elimination games whatsoever.
G2 actually qualified for the class by taking down the young
bucks over there in foot, who put up some fine, but
Mongols and Paravision those the eliminated squad. Paravision off
the back of the bounty win. I think, off of form, people
thinking this team is going to continue to run, but they were even
keeping the expectations quite low, coming into an event like I am crack off.
Mongols, on the other hand, Cobra Zero, he gets his first outing in the jersey, and unfortunately
it doesn't go there forever.
They lose the opening game to G2 and then they have a bomb burn, an absolute banger.
Maybe even a mess of a game versus Fury.
It was a mess.
It was a chaotic game.
We saw three match points for Mongols to finish it in two Furia.
We saw a one versus five from Fallen through a smoke.
I mean just nonsense throughout, very entertaining the third about they kind of just
peter down. Yeah, I think if you were to recap all of them and the early stage of the
infern we had a blitz ace eco bash, we had a bunch of those, and then you go into the fall
and you know the problem with that fall of 1v5, not the problem, well I guess it is if you're
a mongol's fan, none of them were actually diffusing. They touched it, right? And then they're all
like I'll be the guy to go through the smoke thing that I'm going up and a bit of a meltdown,
Yeah, when an E-Co-R-Mazinho has a D-Go-1 V2 with a collat, but doesn't get the kill still confirmed.
The round of the four ones is 1 V5.
Mazinho wins a 1 V2 Ninja Diffuse, right in front of two of them.
So I mean, yes, just a crazy game.
If you look at first some chaotic counterstrike,
if that's your personal flavor, then definitely go and check out that one.
Turn off number three though.
That might help.
You can just look at the results.
But one and two were great.
Yeah, the other game that had a bit of a flavor to it was Aurora versus the Falcons.
Now Aurora are very happy that a nubus is back in the map.
Well don't you worry about that.
And then they had Falcons punished.
Yes, so that also had a 2v5 loss for the Falcons.
But they won a nice Pistor and Retail must in the corner nubus.
So do everybody had a couple of their own moments, I would say.
I think we need to take responsibility for the cast occurs.
We really got a manifested the 2v5 choke.
It just feels impossible that this keeps happening time and time and time again.
It's baffling. It really is baffling.
It's baffling.
That's a question as old as time.
It really is, but we do have the last result, of course, on the A stream, which you may have
caught, there was Team Spirit vs. Navi. I was expecting a bit more of a game here.
I think when you have Zontix going to, for whatever, in regulation, and then popping off
one teammate into overtime, and then having a monster performance on just to, what are
you meant to do? It's going to be extremely tough if you are that of Navi, who historically
have a really hard time against Spirit.
I know it's Harry for a kind of two-word summary, and he said, Spirit kind of pugged them.
It's an interesting summary.
Just essentially just to where gonna run it,
you were gonna take aim,
do as we think we're better than you can.
Made an arv in a little bit silly.
So interesting, but with, of course,
two teams eliminated yesterday,
it gets even more extreme today, Chad.
Yes, and we're gonna be having a throw this one.
To ourselves, thank you very much,
Charlotte Alex, some very astute observations there.
I think those two gentlemen on the screen
probably deserve a pair eyes,
they also look very handsome.
Hi, great.
I agree with everything that they just said.
Yeah, no, I feel so informed and tamed,
I mean, wow, those two.
Yeah, love those guys.
I've been back on later.
Yeah, then that would be really cool.
And I'll tell you who else is cool.
3D Max.
These guys play some cool counters, like I'm a bit of a 3D Max fan.
Whoever did the body, you ever put a hoodie under the shirt?
I don't know how he pulls it off, and I couldn't.
No.
They used to do it at school.
Yeah, but that's...
I don't know, any sort of...
Yeah, the hoodie under a shirt is...
Maybe I could do like the long sleeve with the t-shirt,
the top, that's the most I'm gonna venture.
All right, into the double layers.
Well, we're going to venture into the Vito in Furno.
That was the map that Trace was highlighting in their head
to head a cover to last year.
Just around this time, that woman 19 at 16 in favor of vitality
does to mount number two.
And Newc as the third and decided to have this now.
Here's a fun fact.
Six maps played in 2025 between these two teams.
Five of which were single, digit wins for vitality.
Right.
All of the wins for vitality.
But I mean, gravity, I will be honest to you,
He was nice to see him attempt to be confident and see we're gonna take him we're gonna fuck them
Was this a sad word that was a quote? Yeah, but I don't know
I think if you're gonna say that you're gonna say with your chest
It was a little okay, there wasn't too much confidence in that in fact
Anything happening a bit more concerned about 3D mags and fire yeah, it was a little bit
like
What's the guy who wrote the disc track about M&M? NGK? Yeah, Kevin Kelly. That's the guy
your beer this weird yeah and and causing the go so that it can
like you're the best team but like we're gonna mess you up back
so okay cool this is a cool graphic I'd watch that movie after put the subtitles on
probably but oh be good French cinema
potentially on the agenda today he starts for 3D Max and they're gonna be having a nice
quiet contact plate up second mid-maker turning to many aggressions on the banana
with his P250. Okay well the CT setup to receive this is gonna be
Robs, I'm gonna go to the balcony. And Missy, I'm short as I let it buy out of steam
as the three-man B set out they're doing both for everybody you're getting some
bit of a cinematic to start off round number one. Molly for Gravity,
likely gonna find his way to pit. But nobody home. It's very rare Robs doesn't get anything
from this position and he's not able to do so lucky.
She down cleanly, gravity manages to remove messy after one, and so access to the
psych.
This is already shaping up nicely.
Okay, Ziya and Flamesy are going to head down banana and then up middle apex for her
tidying through library.
He has the Nate.
A lot of smoke and a flash, but no diffusive for this retake.
It's looking good for the pistol for 3D Max.
Yeah, and what way can he set up this short duo?
Did I get him for one pit?
The H.E.E. could find a bit of chip damage.
And it's actually going to be destined for the south.
The dark straight on the only player that was susceptible to
the valley from the H.E.E.E.
Big start from Apex info on pit.
They're trying to bait in lucky acting.
I just wanted him to pit.
They're over the team damages and I do.
Gravity holding on on the site.
Apex does find their head shut.
Time. Not enough of it.
And just purely by survival.
Maca will be enabling 3D Max to start off with the pistol.
My effect is going to get out of the ship here.
It can have any arm at a hold onto any way, but it's a smoke grenade.
So they do convert the pier so they call themselves into the site that was less fortified.
If Rob doesn't find that open up, the men's doesn't get a double to make up for that.
It was always going to be a very difficult job on this retake, even with that perfectly placed nade.
And we're going to go with the Force by though, that has been a drop of an M4 facilitated
thanks to Apex getting those 3 kills, so Zylu is going to get an A4.
Okay, what a treat.
Apex is going to bring in Mag7, we were talking a lot about that last year, limited success.
And SMC is for the rest, Mezzi with the MPC7, so a lot of MPC7 guests are there for
magics, making it look good.
and then from before the game started. Oh, let's be friendly with the French.
3D Max, you want to avoid any traps and right now it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a
on B.
Who's very vague right now everyone's to give them a go.
Space?
Ah nice to set up working.
They're going to accelerate good good all to have the back of that surely.
Oh, it would have got a lot better if they'd have caught that reaction from flamesy.
Noise alongside the nerdy here now.
So I was going to be smoked off and look like he's considering a bigger place for
one contact.
Yeah, letting sound cues come through.
Apex, we can firm any commitments.
I'll be hangin' for the whole.
So I will just shreds straight out of smoke
with backsturn, XCC, and Macker just removed.
But he's got his Cimitar out.
Yeah, it's big old knife, Bally isn't it?
It got old knife.
He's gonna hold on to the AK
and the details there, the teamwork is everything to note.
I've had the jiggle over to Wall's CT spy.
Sorry, over to Wall's the B-Sight.
and it was the boost, then you have Apex and Rob's attempting to say contact first on the
ramp, as I would place in the smoke knowing as soon as they get that contact he's going to
erupt through because eyes would be drawn.
And what's so nice for Apex is you know you've just dropped that in for and it has one
either round.
You feel like a genius.
You feel like those kills a half years.
And he wouldn't have been able to drop that in for if he didn't kill a Maca trying to exit
from pit.
So the fact he stuck around with the stubbornness and went down with the bomb, it got in
that extra kill that was able to facilitate the info that ends up winning the round.
So there was in the details of Counter Strike.
Never once familiar with 3D Max has been a K-Cuper team hoping to change their fortunes
in 2026.
They're French holoises, that's what we call them.
French holoises, okay.
Well, they ran Stage 1 with a win over foot and simple as BCG.
They took down phase, end dominant fashion to start off Stage 2 and now they're up against
by Tati for a spot on the tour on, searching for what threw banana up, flash over, and
Nade, on the doorstep of a party, to persuade it for many early banana control flams
you will also scam away from up close, they are going to be able to triangulate his position
as they pick scoops up, and cash out of Nade that was left to continue to block and cause chaos
and banana. The 3D Max are just going to have to take things slow. It's not normally what
we keep in mind when we talk about 3D Max. You may have heard from Massey with Trace inside
the arena, talking about the crazy counter strike, but 3D Max play the very aggressive. They
like to be hasty, but I think in 2026 they know they need to change their start to try and do
a little bit more consistent, and that doesn't happen immediately.
There's two ways that work that goes either, you know, works out wonderfully or it could
lead to kind of an identity crisis, exactly.
And that's worst case, that's where you start to change the roster.
I'm rounding up an honor.
I don't know, but feel this is pretty bleak when you get blocked at the 30th set or rather
with 30 seconds still on the clock, you are going to try and run through it.
that would be one hell of a smoke break rush.
You've got three CTs to receive you.
Flamedy is gonna get Molotov down a position,
so he's in trouble.
Gravity hasn't cleared him, does now,
a Josson just like that.
They've led the site.
I was strained, composed, execute into B,
time-sensitive mission complete.
Okay, so more than happy to play the clock
in the fan ticket for all five of the live,
that's miraculous.
And that is a bit of a new flavor.
You know, we're just talking about this,
trying to work.
Rebuild their identity or at least elaborate on it.
It is funny that nobody played for them actually
reaching through the smoke. Everybody was essentially waiting for them to start entering the
site and maybe a head on a timing their vitality caught off guard all three players unable to get anything
done whatsoever. The most damage was actually done by the maid on to body at the start of the round.
Interesting, a little bit of a force by war, battling for early economics and supremacy.
So right now Zylu and Rob's can both drop M4s and flames is in a position to buy himself one
I'm sorry again. I forgot I got a something charge in my fun. Look at back in
Well flames he goes with an SMG for this banana control depends on if they he's gone the rifle look
And they want to go firepower. So we're essentially into the gun rounds even though
It is gonna be three max with a once holding on to the
They go for like a ride to weaponry exactly. Yeah, and but uh
I guess the fortunate feature of the SMGs have a glow. My Jew is uh just two sets of kevlock. This is fast up moves of a half wall big nine damage
How's that
Another connection.
They're looking to double-nade CT.
They're all going to be okay at this point.
Can he pecks us with a ready-feet key to it?
I think very sight-heavy this time, aren't they?
As Zee, the rotating rifle, are also playing in the sight.
He might beat, or pretty as none known piece.
Never mind, they are starting to wear into something a little bit more aggressive.
They want to take a fight.
Right, let's just try and walk on here.
Slint on in and flames and receives.
Spam from 8px doesn't connect.
Flames you back as a sight is going to be feeling a lot of pressure.
nice fine catches the head shot and transverse through the smoke falling flat for 3D max X
and C-S overwhelmed 4 kills in the defense of the B-Sai flamesy. That's a shutdown. That's what he wasn't able to do in the round prior
and they almost got caught off guard right there. You could see that they were transitioning to take the fight.
Then the execute came. They're trying to scamper back. They dropped the defense of smoke and they're under a lot of pressure in that situation
So if I tell you almost losing another one, but it looks easy in the end, but definitely not.
They are stressed, right?
The flames are in play, and the flames eat.
He's able to stall them out, keeping the poise playing around this self-designed smoke very well-handled.
Yeah, I mean, these are those kind of rounds where flames you just thrive when the smoke flushes,
my little bit of a safe haven to stand, he manages to deliver.
All right, back to this slower roll for the banana control.
on a control block just gonna push up early and take all that NA damage,
back up breaking down, one of the two AKs into this round alongside of Lucky.
Thames, he's got a dip out.
Replenish on the half-horse smoke.
Apex has a full belt to go again, so that's gonna leave Maze very light on,
but we know how key this minor control is, and we just know how many waves
are available for the vitality defense.
I can't imagine the amount of time that Apex, Mersey and Flamesy have spent talking about the combinations of utility that they're going to be throwing everybody hands up
But these guys when they're at the top and when they have had these dominant patches on this map you've got to keep progressing right you can't just do the same stuff especially not in the modern game
Flamesy soundbag
Let's commit it
And remove Spawny constantly
And he can immediately relay that you might want to be worried about A
As he's there, the rops is too a too-sized setup.
I think I'm riding.
There's the letting them in.
Off-message contact, rops will swing.
As he can first, bodies across, nice for rops, both of them finding the first braggies,
gravity, trotter do something, but even zi will contripp in, finds a long-range head shot
and just as easy as that, only one body drop from 3D max, vitality, find a convincing
one, in back-to-back rounds.
All right. Well, it will have to be the eco now for 3D Max. Good opportunity to for us to remind you that there is a beast dream running a conjunction with this one.
Mouse versus Aurora going down the winner. That will also lock themselves in for the playoffs.
I wonder that the winner of this will play for either spot in the semis or the quarter finals.
If that was right now and great.
Or would you say that's a 55 thing?
I think Mouse or a distinct favorite because they ban a nervous.
Oh, well, that's going to help. Yeah.
The school I'm right now is telling that Aurora definitely have something to say about things.
Rob's getting aggressive against the eggs.
New jewel.
He's thirsty mate.
Yeah, he just wants to get a couple of freebies, a couple of weeks, especially with the
door wide open.
Does he?
All right, well, the door is now.
He's seen enough.
Especially when it's a flaco like this, it's not even a P250, right?
you just see the change in the players I want to call it body language
but let's just call it approach to certain jewels yeah at these are the freebies
back in the day planning the bar minute going off that was worth three
three refuses worth three these are the best you can do in terms of that
three these but you've still gotta work for them so we're gonna be able to put them down
as it is just lucky last man standing look at the state find the live
They will too, okay, okay, four to two to round gap guns about to come back out and we've seen
majority of the rounds at least with guns in play for 3D Max trying to win out this banana fight and control
The pistol was an A finished but everything else
Then that ECO and the pistol rounds
I've been over the wards B, so let's see if there is a change of tune
I would like them to try to enable XC some of these lurks. He's very very sharp
That's right, we've seen in Farners where he can consistently find gaps and can be a real nuisance and
able that kind of pendulum to swing back and forth.
He's going to get to the master on the other side though.
So that right there is it going to be a fun head to head to keep track of.
And with the start from vitality, it feels like they're thinking maybe just maybe there'll be more of a presence over the wall to A in the early stages 3-2 by the default.
C-Full.
So now there's a little homie.
He can't connect.
Body will take him down.
Opening kill comes through.
Looks like Rob's has got a test in front of him.
Is he turning?
Yeah, he is considering the potential for this arch ramp.
They've doubled up.
Oh over the top.
Still, it's impressive from sideward to be ready for one.
It takes that X and C C and that's all.
Oh!
Come on from gravity.
You know what, he's clean now.
Okay, important.
You know, he's clear sure that the bombs going B and there is still messy here.
He's going to be ready for the first swing from lucky.
Got to hit that.
Does so.
Should be good for the plan.
Apex last C and C T.
The H P for bodies.
The moment the bomb is as ways in which this could go wrong.
he's even a decent one for glory if he plays it right.
If Bonnie plants the foe it feels like he's just going to get me to doubt.
Oh, he's absolutely plastic.
Push it anyway, open to money, fight to some chaos but help by lucky, different round
of the Nate lands.
Wow, okay, and I said that they should be thinking he's clear.
Well, Nezzy was still alive and he was the unknown entity over towards the B side, but
robs his traditional anchor and then took down Zeyu.
So either way, 3D Max will get away with it.
Impact from gravity though. Yeah, huge round from him.
Techn 9 round with a multi onto was the B site and now this on the gunny
That made you bang on that's that's a kill. That's a kill every day of the week so
Apex doesn't know how close but uh
He's in a 1v2 thing when he's up against it regardless
P.C. body again. He liked the way that opening your felt but he just goes running with the
Flashed screen
Lucky goes looking for a trade
And that's plain, nice, defined from lucky.
Bought it back into a four on four, apex, not bushes and self forward.
It's a lucky apex head to head.
Well, he's gonna make life difficult.
Here's a revolver for apex.
Oh, sorry, dad. Yeah, roasted.
Idiom, rat.
Just nersey.
Again, the back of this peep on sight.
Well, the anti-Sappeam again.
Second orange is ready.
He's his aim.
Wait, for clear catches.
Macker jumping still, Macker good for the adjustment.
Job done.
Rapses coming up, but not up.
He has to win out this fight with gravity towards sand back to enable this reate takes.
I was going to head through ruins.
Ops and Zai were pulled off some miraculous two on axes.
Rapses letting Zai were play first, or they just boxed in the mid trying to do financial damage.
One of the two right now.
I can't hit on either of these.
I don't think they go for it now.
for it now, yeah, just trying to contain them.
Make sure they can't carry anything into the next day.
We'll have to try and exit towards CT's.
I will about lose the orb.
Oh, important.
Not only an orb to Nile, but lucky.
Preserving that for marker into the next.
Okay, well, if we take a look at the finances,
it's still bi-territory for vitality,
but a couple of these rounds
is a kick out of that onsite by the obstim.
Rocks can drop one.
If need it.
So this isn't going to be too many problems, 6.6 on Zeya, we were 7.3 on APX, 6.6 on Flames, and Mezi
as the low end of 4.9.
So if Rock wanted to give Mezi an infor just to make sure they had all the nades and kits
and everything required, so we'll good but not necessary.
Next task will take the first tactical time out to get the conversation flowing.
It's been a couple of these moments where they should have converted, but the hard work
done in that patch of 3.
They only lost 2 individuals over those 3 rounds, it's given the nice boon of cash and
That's allowed them to have three straight rifle rounds even with two of the big losses.
Let's see if it is.
Three losses.
Apex was screwed once he was out towards Sandbag wasn't he just the Nade's coming in.
Very impressive.
Good Utah from 3D Max.
Even that smoke break for the K-Court Flames he'm lacking.
There he got trashed, Molotov, I mean it was just getting away out.
What's XS called as the change?
Do they want to give them this banana control?
Do they still want to buy for it early?
Two of them getting caught in the same position essentially
Grabbing the XCCs are in a position where they could just start walking on the other team. They are
This is the gap. They passed through a boiler
I'm sitting along. Oh, Messi's that
and that aka power-facly place, dink exchange, but
can I actually bring a seat?
time reveals he's in the park, it's not that clear out the point of possession!
WOOOOO, Robbs!
Feast, how does he get three?
Come here!
He's only gonna be able to run by Apex through the smoke.
Fair play to Robbs that.
Well, that feels like a little bit of cheese, definitely a little bit of an axe, right?
just walk too rough with straight up mid and find that gap. So you do when you're
roughly looking at a player, a team's tendencies, trying to pick those holes. And if
you're going to be playing three B for control, that long side can be under
four to five. Mesie was there, I couldn't hit the sharp, but romps definitely can.
Yeah, a few people get all three there. Right now, gravity has ten kills. Lucky
has seven, macabody and X-axis only have one a piece. Now, it doesn't matter how
you get him as long as you get him, but you need to see those other individuals starting to activate when required.
They want those two rounds, they are just down to the pistol, so this one should be a farm fest, number six on the table for vitality.
Flames, it can be such a difficult player to get past, and these been out of fights,
It's more than happy to play within the chaos.
To back that up, he's four and one in terms of opening exchanges so far.
I imagine often you find yourself just going to a company.
He's got his breath.
He started against swung.
And you know that he sat up as that weapon.
Right? This has been there.
They have all these sets of Utah talking about for him to go for those fights.
Which is his dream.
You know, he's also a sense of put on in the fight out of Jersey.
Learn to, you know, find the, there's a time in the place for that.
place for that. It will be, you know, it can be a liability if it is not within the system.
It's not set up. If it is just the player's desire to constantly bif.
And as so much to go into it, right with these deals, how's all these teams? The YouTube sets
and so many more you can get.
He's spotted the bomb.
Oh, so it's time to head through the box. It's going too well.
You want to try to get cross APX?
Oh, try to hide that.
APX locks it down for six.
Another one with all five standard lives.
So this is good only two rounds left to the half vitality.
We'll be able to bring out a bind to find a round and matter what happens here.
But I'm going to type things up six six.
Can they walk away with eight?
Might come down.
That signals the 3D max.
It's identical time out.
Now if you don't know, that's you know and now you know
What does he know? What adjustment does he want to call gravity is in with a Mac
He woke up, he's in and out and he's in with a Mac 10
Now here enough money to bring out an aka if he would have liked
So does this
Toss off some pace a bit of a gimmick a set piece as even a Mac 10
On Naka right now
I mean three players with three kills combined. It's not hard to see that they're gonna
Look for some impact in this round with that 10th tech nine to the half fine. All right, so 2,400 into that this is a half bite
Next round they fall by so they're gonna give this round a great go, but essentially they're playing for five and a half
plant. You are surrounded, sir.
Mazee's spam?
I'm thinking to give him a map, so it's just 600 bucks in a minimum lucky, give it a good go mate.
Go he's shell. Rob's is gone. Now we'll fit with Mazee and Thai we do the one I play together.
The smoke on CT has faded lucky just has to win his sword. Too many on his screen.
The high double swing. Another new plot.
I bet it's happy with that.
We're saying,
pregame interview alongside of Stunnut and gravity.
It doesn't go into the game with anything in mind,
but if it comes to him,
he'll let it rip.
He's one of the more naturally gifted.
Yes, it doesn't go on a stream.
That's because he's been doing it for so long.
I practiced this big perfect.
These obnos keep coming for Flansey.
Three headshots there on the way here in beautiful work.
It seems so pedestrian because we've seen him do it so often.
But that is such impact.
He goes down after one there. It's a very different round.
So nonchalant, he just collects three changes the whole dynamic for 3D Max.
Had some real, especially moments in last couple of days with players and just finding a lot of openings.
You can do yesterday on Duke was insane. It's the Mongols.
It's time to more full of stars for planes here.
It's not the only thing!
Blame is just an opening kill factory right now.
Open for business!
Now you would think with that,
Should be spelling 8 rounds first half or vitality.
Porsed into what looks like an A place
and I won the long-sale Mezi will come and join him
in from library or arch, rots anchoring down over the wall to the pit.
And there's the smoke.
This calls an issue, flash comes through as I walk the line, but there's it too easy.
We're pouring trade from side, we stop spotting from managing to get away with that.
It's working on the bomb to collect it, I'm sure.
Mac is going to try and get a pick on B, but the HPEX is just going to come through the smoke.
Yeah, of course he is.
Hello.
You're ready for that.
Okay, Maco.
Well,
You have the room, you have the B-bombsite, you don't have the bomb, and Flamesy knows exactly what's up.
Never a fun position to be in, like your position,
Understandably your responsible for being making sure nothing went wrong.
But when your whole team collapses, you end up looking a bit silly.
Oh, not anymore, he doesn't catch the no-shot as I would.
There's just no time to win the round.
Yeah, it's all the best.
This is just kind of stop-harding.
Given it ago, at least he's not just saving.
That would be weird.
He took four there.
That's a CT side by Tyler.
It would be happy with.
This is 3D Max's pick, and they haven't got too much to show for it.
It just seemed like a frags as well from some of them.
Let's see if they can turn their bait around as we swap sides.
Oh, I did a sick run.
Good.
Jekhan, I bet that's good up here.
Sometimes your opponent is just having a really good day.
Flames he's six and one in opening jewels and has the same amount of frags as the lowest four players on 3D match.
Oh dear.
Yeah, it's a rough start.
And I haven't had a lot of it.
Tracked doesn't it.
All 3D max they got the pistol.
They lost the force.
They want to take nine round in response.
Anyone else guilty of the messy letting everyone know he's one HP. I've definitely will continue to remind you that I did
I didn't give him that he had some confidence just swinging guys
Well, it's just like it's two brains and the problem for X
He's the only one on a right now. So if that's the finish
As you can handle this pressure, doesn't hit that one tapio of light years low HP
It's gonna force them actually into a
Exorcise, man on a mission with two HP and an entire squad in his bomb site.
He's dead.
He's gonna have warplastings, thanks for the way.
Ruff!
Not what you wanted!
Get tired of a 3D max on the way back in the bomb being planted by Zywook.
I'm very few av and use for 3D max back into this bomb site.
Gravity has a flash.
That's true.
He's got a flash.
hell of a flashbang.
Hang on.
Let's throw in the flashbang.
There it comes.
Oh, you're way for lucky to arrive.
Now you're throwing.
It pops.
It looks like they go down.
So I will inflame.
They have to save vitality.
It does have to become down to the highway.
And they hit it in time.
Woo!
Lucky!
Gravity have turned out what looked impossible
into a imported pistol win.
You're going to be quite frustrated with the situation there.
if you're vitality that is very very close on the diffus
but you just had to stay alive for a moment or too long
so you've lost both pistol rounds
and it turns out that flash was actually a different ramifications in all of this
allowing a very good job just coming out of apartments off the back of that flash even finds the first
and just unleashing with the jubber letters jumping on that diffus just in the nick of time
impressive. Well, Pongos down forced by comes through, can vitality win
one again last time. Every Scott 3 kills on the pistol, drop the naked as I
would. Some rounds I will have the naked again, and it's definitely me in drop
because he also has nates.
Head of the brackets block smoke, that's already going to have 3D and
actually having a lot of screw to a lot of pressure. Farm has to be tech nine.
not necessarily favorable look at this is crazy the amplitude applying the pressure
thanks to Cecil we talked from sight hearing all the time Alex he is on his hand yeah once more
apex is just kind of tending to my ring as the rest of the team wrapped into X and she sang yeah
dead sorry last hang on oh another one try to get pushy did lucky extends in music takes him down
and now no rush for vitality, though.
Place that moto smoke your mocked out and if I'm next to C,
I am feeling a little bit hard to dump it.
Can I get some help at some point please?
A little bit of help?
Well, it's so crazy. Their flames is the one who dropped the A.K.
He has no armor. He just has the D.
He is doing his job as the space creator perfectly,
but then still finds the owner another owner.
So now seven in one.
Such an asset.
He just has to path and draw the crosshair,
but then he gets that opening kill on that.
Cool up she can see right there.
So, lost both pistols, one both forces.
Yeah.
That's a recipe for success.
I've never seen one.
I want to remind everybody how tough of a matchup.
This is for 3D Max.
We covered this in the first half.
They've played six maps throughout 2025.
All of which going in the favour of vitality.
Five of which being single digit victories.
We're going to 13, 4, 13, 2, 13, 5, 13, 7, and a 13.
Nine, the closest.
The embarket can have it set.
This time last year.
19 to 16 on this very map
That's what you're talking about round
As soon as that one comes in any threat removed
What's got one kill as well? Let's let like a little bit out. Yeah, he started. He's killing something
body, ecstasy some macro with six kills combined at the moment, a slow start, apex
anymore to use Nate to mid, force away across fire like this, but a bit noisy, at this
point, at that point making a secret of your position, and this is what we're talking
about right, those Nate makes sure that if there is a close-up crossfire they are doing
some softening damage on the B-SIME.
WG and bodies just invaded it.
Gravity has the M4 on B at least.
Let's figure it's going into this round.
The one that I want to avoid with bad spacing would be the max 7.
That's kind of the over-the-walled short.
And then heading back this way.
Mac is probing.
Yeah, he could have had a really nice timing with Nades in their hands,
meant to post it up for it, though,
access to different positions for him.
Oh, but the U-toss just too damn good.
There is another body here.
You can have to have a immediately been able to find their headshots.
I would too quick on the adjustment.
Save again, I suppose.
Yep.
How good is that?
They throw the first flash, and then they have two more.
They're on a second time.
It's it, just...
What, what can you say?
Through old past counters, right?
Yeah, it's great to see from vitality.
They obviously swept PCG as Gravity will lose the M4.
I think body's gonna try to get his hands on this.
The first half of the PCG series was competitive,
and the rest I think was as expected.
I think people were excited about the name value of simple versus I,
but within Vitality's world at the moment.
You definitely does look like he's starting to look like his old self
in some of the individual moments he's having.
Oh, for sure.
to the question for simple, at least for me, I think some people don't think he can return to that level, but for me, it's does he have the motivation too.
If he has the motivation too, then I don't see any reason why he can't.
We're not talking about another player.
We're talking about an igma.
Yeah, and we're going to couple of those floating around in the moment.
So I will in the server here.
Don't already qualified for the arena.
I work.
It feels like he's going to make that trip pretty damn quickly at the moment, doesn't he?
Tend to five, five round gap.
3D max now in an eco.
They lost out, absolutely everything in that one.
Let's go!
So I continue to make things worse for 3D max?
Oh yeah, why not?
Okay, so they're dust too.
That's the second map.
The map choice of vitality.
They were on a six map dust too, losing streak before coming to crack off where they did take down
foot 13 to five.
Strong.
Dominant win. Yeah, but before that they did have a nice strong dominant win against foot
True remain optimistic here a countershot in your hands not fate. Ah
Good point well made
Oh an old school stack 8x does he not lead from these USPs just go a
job, how many did they get they lose another man?
So I was right full now retrieval. They're not just ready to bump to a
Oh, as soon as I saw it, everybody came around to help and there's not no boys that the smart move is
Let's go plant a bomb
Let's go to the objective. I know the other way always quicker. Oh, you've lost what?
We went for a little spray and next the seat hit it. Okay, but they both have smokes
And they're even playing with their head right there block motor
They block short the next season probably are gonna save so
Exciting, something happened in a way, and kills came in
You got the pick up picture coming into
26 my framing was who can tackle vitality
Now Bounty for a lot of teams was not the level of counterstrike that I think the fans were hoping to see displayed
But it's first event out of the break the anchored doesn't like
That is the framing, you think, so these professional counter-striplated, they should be ready to go.
That's his view, my view is, it's going to tell them a while to warm into things.
And some events are more important than others. Now, this one for vitality is important because they're defending champs, but also,
they want to win a second, here's so grand slam. You need a crack off or a collone.
And right now they have neither. So do you want the pressure of trying to do that at the major?
you want to take care of it now, and then even start the road to the third year, so Grand
Slam throughout this first season. Nothing like an extra millie in your team's
little hit and around. I think so, I will carry that in cash. Yeah. This wallet is a wheelbarrow.
Exorcises, but no doubt I will be another one on the naughty list, problem solved round one.
kind of crazy how quick that aggression was met with resistance.
I'm having this. Wow.
What the hell?
That's how easy that looked.
I mean, honestly, that is a bad question.
How was that the gun route?
When both pissed was the score is 12 to 5.
And now you shove in.
You have gravity who can buy an M4.
You have Mac and did the same.
The rest are going to be on something lighter.
Like you want an MB5.
So your map choice and it's a non-starter.
I don't know what that no-board.
No pad, clipboard.
I put them together. Possibly.
I don't think it's getting out of this hole mate.
I think it's able to do deep, isn't it?
Alright guys, just to up next.
Yeah. He's just called it different from self.
Well I think also you want to see your coach use the time-outs.
It's at least the statue of the end of the night to be used up, yeah, but they're most effective.
Oh, it's gonna break your spirits a little bit, isn't it?
Well, you're in the same spot if you're really max.
Yeah, you can beat good teams just not the great ones.
Once.
And you can even look really truly like you know a different beast versus the GT.
You can smother them, yeah.
Oh, body has given him a nice start. There you go.
The way that I get.
Double kill smoke spam.
Good to see body finding his foot in because he's going to be a necessary piece on
Dust2 if they want to have a voice in the conversation.
Can they find an opening kill back in?
Looks like body's going to be either calling for the flash.
Yeah, that's when you're on out.
Getting himself another.
That's what you want to see from body.
Alright, Robse and Muzzy.
This is best flamesy impression.
Gravity is only going towards Sam Bag.
We'll be hearing these sound cues down towards Bruno.
Rotation, far away, but lucky coming.
It's actually pulled them into a two-two.
So top-meat Maca playing with the UMP.
And ecstasy, I think I've got a world's pit with an auto shotgun.
Now if they kill Magcar!
Yeah, I've started to feel a little nervous at this two on four.
Actually, famous Vitality, Magcar's got to hit something here.
If you just get to clear it out...
No, no, no!
No, no!
Perfect!
And the stay-from-vimitality that Magcar will profit from.
Bollywood 3.
I'll expect in that close angle.
Magcar closes it down and three mags, they'll see another round.
Well, if I tell you we'll be able to buy and know issues
Nice, my body. Maybe you can have one more buy available after this as well
Maca brings in the AWP so that is a little bit of a difference maker. We know that not can be very annoying around boiler and holes
Such a rollercoaster to be on the team with eight back to the dirt. There he is in holes
Oh, nice aggression rewarded, they dropped the quick or line catching them off guard.
Yeah, Maca plays the most aggressively in that position at all the ops I've seen.
We see setups where ops are playing in there waiting for Lionel or playing back, but he'll even sit in the window room where he's replaced the jump up.
We have seen round play, he is solo A, or thing in apps.
It's, look, he's confident in those style of shots and it's, if you can find the timing,
those are tough clears for the T's.
It's not easy to be able to take that space.
Looks like they are just going to try and finish the round with the PXQ.
They've been able to gun it as B control.
McRavie still got his full belt of U-TIL, so he is in a position to kind of make this difficult
for vitality.
No, H-E-T-B-R-A-K.
So, do they try and pull out the block smoke or do they just go on the first way with some
good flashes?
It's right out is in San Diego, he smoke can go on top.
It's quite shallow.
Hard into it and then flash, right?
He messes the plan.
The flash is catch-graver, he completely is.
I was setting his boys up.
It's body at the back of the side.
Boundal with trays and sticking out.
They know where you are.
The trade from Mesie present.
Two more smokes for CT and Gothens.
Okay, first smoke break.
My cash in the open.
It's cover from side.
So quick to the trigger.
Lucky.
To be alive.
alive. One HP, you got to give it a go, he's waiting for his team mate XSC's coming
in from the banana side. It's being considered. I think just grouping up ruins as
well, this is a nice post plant. Free kill right there. He's going to be a freebie. Doesn't
even go for the knife kill he wants the round. He wants to get this one done once an
efficient day in the office do vitality. And so 13 to 6 first map in furno,
Bleak for 3D Max.
By Tardy going through the motions, looking at damn good flames in that first half,
no one could get past him, open kill after opening kill.
And this is the vitality that you want to see, good form,
as they're one map away from booking themselves a spot in the arena.
Six decimal places, on a mouse sensitivity console command, now I think there's two types
to people that can do something like that.
Someone with a special connection with ours
or in damn themselves.
I think it was definitely a high impact one.
This interrogation scene was,
it had some impact on the culture of CS for sharing.
The first thing I was really good one,
is punch, I mean, incredible acting, we liked that.
But I think, I mean, all the players,
they've got to get as well.
and they had to interrogate me, the developer, I guess, so it was fun.
How it works is you just kind of do it.
Yeah, if they come to you with an idea,
I mean, 99% of the time it's gonna be good.
I don't think it's ever been a bad idea,
which I've been approached with.
They've done it for multiple years now,
like all of the results of the skates
have been amazing, the whole community always enjoys them,
and people always want to see more.
So great to take part of it.
You get to create some funny memories and good memories.
Because stuff happens in a game, like CS2,
really state or whatever, or they're with the inspiration.
And it kind of puts it in the archives,
that actually has some sort of impact.
People make fun of it.
People make some sort of a culture around it.
And I think that's the part of the sketch
that it does create some history with CS as well.
You've played the beta I've presented?
Of course.
Who hasn't?
Many have been denied access to my son.
May the Lord save their souls.
Watching the Kallel Skate?
Obviously the church, I've...
Confessing.
Typical Kallel.
When you're doing the Skate, you're doing it all by yourself.
The person who is having a conversation with is not actually with you.
like you're doing it at different times and the end result, they just edit it together.
So it seems like you know you're done the same place but in reality you're not.
So I guess that's the tough part.
Then it drops to guess I mean they don't really could drop and just setting it up.
And I think the script there is always fantastic.
I think that helps we evolve.
They have really good scripts.
I mean they produce it way before and I think that's probably the biggest part that actually helps
straight, negative skit.
Hold on, rocks at the back.
Yeah, you're the local, right?
That's kind of how it would go down.
Yeah, but there's lurkers, and then there's lurkers.
It makes the most sense that he's at the back.
I was in the room with talent here for sure.
I think I was within, I can't remember 100%.
In this specific one, it was more like a round table,
and they just switched the players around.
around we were having a conversation and just been in the skit, like it looked like in the end of the end result.
This one was really fun. I remember I wasn't sure what we're gonna do when they
approached us with this. This only maybe this is the first time we did a skit, we're like
Like, we're in the actual booth where we play and I hadn't done that before.
So I was really interested in what there was always going to be like,
as we heard what the idea was and what the script was,
I think we already knew that whatever,
whatever, how we're going to act or whatever we do,
it's going to turn out really good because the script was that good.
And the idea was perfect.
It should be good.
What do we need to call it? Just run the wrong.
Oh!
I think all the jokes they're very fitting.
Obviously, apex, they're just clowning around with our coach Remy.
I think it's the perfect, yeah.
The encapsulation, how that team in my mind really is, you know, Apex is really that kind of guy who can be a clown, he can be a serious itself guy, like he can be anything and then everyone else, I think we're just, we're just a good group of people who really want to win, but I think we have a nice relationship and this side was my turn.
Obviously, I play off-school run scared, Zyber does not, just the fun facts of people who
have gone this end of the perspective, so when I heard that I was playing OSRS as the
match going, I found it really funny, I mean, as OSRS played it, that was close to me as
as well. So I tried my best to make sure I was acting well and people who pay attention,
they would really enjoy that one and that's what I enjoyed. I enjoyed that small details
and like paying attention to that, like doing that acting for all the small bits and I think
everyone really paid attention to that as well and that's why it turned out so good and that's
why I really enjoyed it. I think it's like every second of it that I think there's something
happening in the skit that's either funny or like there's like some idea behind it and yeah.
It's a dime on the shape. Yes. Okay. Make sure you know what Obama is.
I know. In the bottom left there's a big square big box.
This is like a book on top. There's more in the open that's fun.
Above that there's another like square rectangle.
It's square, like a box.
That's square.
Okay.
And then above that, a bit to the right, and there's another box, like a bit longer.
Square like this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
We can do it.
Top right, there's another bigger box.
Yeah, we can do it this.
And then the bottom right, right angle, your box.
Yeah, like this.
And then the middle is a circle, right in the middle.
That's pretty much what I can give you.
There's a smaller square here, a smaller, like, square, square, circular thing.
Squared circularly fades. It's a square on here, but it's not in the middle of it.
So I would go off the mountain to see it's mop. I'll stay for a bit.
Yeah, not f**king right. It's pretty good.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Has he fired to do that? I'll tell you, box and box.
Box, box, box.
You're doing it.
Wait.
The top left and a bit down.
Three small boxes next to each other.
Like this?
Yeah, and below another one.
and to the right of it another one and then in front in front of them like a bigger
shoe like going down yeah just draw it yeah and enough yeah to the right of these
boxes yeah do a do a box down to the right of this a bigish box yeah to the right
a couple of two boxes you're making this to the square quite a big square that's
It's a circle, it's fine, it's great.
And then to the right of this,
doing another kind of square.
But I'm really, really, but I'm right in the corner.
You can draw a square.
And then here, you can draw like a,
like, you can do it one, yeah.
Yeah.
Good luck.
Is the bombs going to be on this?
You know?
Can I fire off?
You can be ready to say good to goot.
What can you do, as I said?
Yeah?
Yes.
It's legit impossible, okay.
I have to do it in shapes.
Is it diamond the shape?
Actually you know what diamond is.
You do diamond on the left, for this.
And you make a triangle that connects to the bottom left of the triangle.
Do another diamond a bit to the right of it.
Okay, that can work. That can work.
You do a diamond that goes up.
Yeah, it can do.
But connected to the other diamond on the...
So I want you to have it like the diamonds like basically create a triangle at the bottom
I summon a line that is really short and goes to be try to and then you keep the line and it goes to the bottom
Yeah, but they really shorter the first line and the other side is the same
This is the first time. Yeah, it's so nice. I got this fucking tough. It turned out not to be bad. Yeah, so this was vitality
Thanks a lot. Thank you
It starts with the dream.
With the team you barely know, in an amateur official that feels like the grandfinal,
where practice becomes progress, and every loss feels like a lesson, when will your journey
begin?
Catapurse?
Little hudifer.
Holy absolute cinema.
God!
Even with British player.
Bread?
Splayer.
Best value player on the market.
Because it's been in two places of efficiency today.
A cup of tea and match days, so he can get in his own.
Digi?
All twinnings.
I thought that Vitality would be crushed, but this would surprise me.
What did I hear?
It's all the smiley face.
Yummy, smiley face, beans, smiley face.
No, it is simple.
Don't, don't, that's all.
Pure coke.
Dream is free.
Cry is free.
The...
Stride.
Props to be telling you for throwing a few rounds.
So make it close again.
That's actually true.
Gold don't hasn't even started yet, it's in angry and really win everything.
Right, Tio should cancel alternatives, no need to play anyways, because don't pick,
call the winner on HLTV for us.
Why wasting money on tournaments when I HLTV user tell you, all the outcomes on the 15th of January,
2025.
Smile boy, not sure what makes me happy.
Peterity winning, so convincingly or don't fans any,
etc. I think it's a two, two, four minutes, such a good learning.
Also, Rob's avenging phase for last year.
Chef's case.
Any pegs job still, by the way, didn't.
Oh, thank God.
Pay check, sir.
It's more of a problem.
Rob's buff.
Real.
Rob's fried in France.
There's a stop-in of the years.
Don't rule and drop the color will dominate 2025.
It's a big biceps.
He will cycle to Austin major.
Top 5, so far this year, last year in Keto, first dunk, second zayu, third bit, for example,
fifth drops, full of shit this.
Tell me you didn't match GF without telling me you didn't match GF.
Smart man doesn't try to predict the future because Smart man knows it can't.
Good for a team with two IGNs.
Who?
Messi was IGL and Panatek.
Right and Felsy who wants an MVP so Messi is the pro.
He's better but idea, no.
Like we say in France, the Sal, the Zambios.
Another day of play, some teams will be going home.
Gonna be added to that naughty list, Mongols and Parvison already cut out the stage
to here at IEM Prackoff, but not here, vitality are just one map away from securing a spot
in the... am I saying a right tour on Arena?
Sounds good to me.
Pour on, tower on.
Either way, it's an arena, it's bigger than the Spodec, and it's very soon to be
Chocoplop for the Counter Strike fans.
Yeah, we're going to major back here in 2017,
Higio, where at Gambit,
and lifted the trophy.
But I think 3D Max might have a case of the Mondays.
And if you don't know what that means, everybody refers
to a common feeling of fatigue, irritability,
and trade experience when returning to work or school
after the weekend.
Yeah, like Garfield.
You didn't like Mondays?
I don't think you liked anything.
No, Lazania.
That was about it.
Get it, Lazania.
Right here, right now, I'd like a competitive map of Counterstrike because as you mentioned this is for a spot in the playoffs, the arena awaits. That's the best counterstrike that's the tipi top
On the delectable delight that is our beautiful game and for the majority of fight hands easy distance. They've been an expected presence in those playoffs, especially this conflation of players
the winning-est of wins,
props being that rops buff.
We just heard them discuss in the break flames.
He's putting in such a great shift as well.
Seems like he's just going from strength to strength
in that jersey, looking great on in Farno.
But 3D max, let's see if they can have a good dust too.
Are there two from two for pistols?
There's something.
And I like the lucky still playing with some, some them.
Some gumption.
We're going to have a mid and he's hit the shoulders of a pex
catches flames these pursuit of the, uh,
Fight on mid?
Nah, he's not getting too.
Nice on the jubber rettoes. Looking good for another pistol. Can they be 3-3 lucky down?
I will hit tears in our gravity's kind of a trouble. Yeah, or good.
You had the advantage. It's just been ripped away from you and body. You might be shot on this top of the dome.
Just pisses him. All right, death's from above.
I'm a star, no pissed on.
It hasn't really been any opportunities for Gravity SmackTalk back across the fence, and Apex has been quite light on.
Yeah, he has.
And gravity did.
Let us know and let Trace know enough.
The pre-match-in to view that they were going to focus on the game.
You know, leave the trash talking to Apex, he felt inspired.
I think maybe, did I have much of a lot to go to me?
I need it.
Something, if you're 3D Max, maybe they should lean into the trash.
Maybe I'm gonna get you going. I think if anything you don't want to piss off that I will
It's forced away the combination of flashing smoke is forced into defeat the space and chase by the bullets there
They have full time on skin trouble as rops will be tending to this from green box
It's just gonna be a long execute of our tally
Didn't hit that oh ropsies he's good at this green box position. Let's see how many gets
Frost that little spray fair recouphed of me
It's not going to be able to find all three, but he made Grammati hits a bang-up, and this one's on.
It is.
Smoke's short's going to give him a bit of freedom to catch this jump-up from Gravite
if he dares on that new box position.
It feels like a bit of an over-extension if he goes for it, but I mean he's looking, and
which I'm with, or sound care, I'm Z.
Couple of headshots from this Gravite, do you go, making it a little bit of all A-packs?
It's gone!
What a degle, he's his chance
On a peep, not
Okay, not a peep out of gravity. That's an impeccable sequence out of gravity's density
There's a problem back down to earth. There's those dead turns who in a force bite on?
Crabony had the most impactful moments in the first map right here to take nine entry round into pee
at a good round in the AK 47 as well. So he should be straight right now
That is a very nice round in D8, no way.
A little bit sloppy.
Let's see if they can respond with a force by of their own.
I wanted to compare it with game. This is where it starts.
See that your apex scouts in game leaders. They do love to pick these elbows.
This is a couple of them.
Apex and snappy.
Let's get a boost as well. They're really trying to facilitate it.
What are you getting in the boat spots the couple in mid?
And those surprises that 3D Max are gonna be bringing that usual 3D Max
Claire early mid aggressive. There's not gonna be a Molotov to stop them. So they borrow it. It does leave a wide open
Exorcist again
Oh, son. It really just thing Exorcist is the great
Hey, Karina. Hey, bro. Just just hold on. I own your own.
Wait, you got it right. You mean long and short. Yeah, yeah, yeah against Vitali. Ah, okay. Well, I'll do my best.
I'll try.
Maybe they're just so confident in their retake capabilities with no kid.
Let's see.
So many potential fights hanging in the balance, Rob's finding one.
Sati turn.
Ooh, but back in there, just bust some down.
Gravity traded.
Very short-lived celebrations for 3D Max.
It was lovely from Gravity's Desert Eagle, but yeah, X-A-C-S-S.
He has been abandoned over the course of these both of these maps.
Perhaps he's on an island, painting faces onto volley balls and yeah, I don't know.
What's the French name for Wilson with salt?
Ah, yeah.
We're back attack, noted now.
The woo can't deal with him, that's an A-K, but he's not putting any of these hands on
it with these, so we'll just back off all onto the glill, flented, trying to kind of
off of the pass.
We've got a success.
Yeah, so they picked just trying to reinforce that, hey, this
Loppiness of round number two, that's not going to cut it.
And some positive reinforcements for the way they, but around number three.
I think after you've just thrown them around the server, that's one of the times
where you think, okay, this is just so easy.
And everybody maybe drops down to about 80%.
Not in terms of output but focus.
And that's where you can start to lose a couple of key moments. So
The arena was on the line
The less matches that you have to play the less you have to show the less ideas the less stress the less you need to call on your players in these moments
There will be a seating game to play against the winner of mouse versus Aurora that is going on right now on the beach
You haven't actually checked in on that result just yet. No, I'm actually curious to see if Aurora kept their form
Yes, they have okay, fun flash at the ready
Important from me as he stops like you can get away with anything that
Another fine from me as he doesn't have to over commit forces a reposition
Will this force you into a B plate? Oh, yes, especially with Zayne we're taking down gravity right there. So
So we're another round done, but they're able to try and get anything off of cow walk
XCCs would love an upgrade away from the MP9, there was a good little and even a molotov but
that mesy patrolling this from my laptop, so I stopped away a couple of heads.
Those both now, they can slowly start to cinch in on 3D Max to remove everything,
next round we'll have to be an eco.
Hey, thanks, it's hunting on the long side, macamethicort, I'll apply this, especially with
a tension draw on 3rd and nice free frame for 8x.
I'm pretty quick headshot on to exercise as well.
We'll just be the E-Co now.
Crab it you got a bit of the exercise treatment that around to be left alone on B and I
were waiting for a chance from the moment the A-Cyphal caught the reaction and secured
the third.
Now not only is this domination still on to this point I know it's early sagging this
But I have a concern that I mean Makar is he's not gonna be able to bring out his all into the next round
Ooh, and I think Makar can be a very jarring for Samu. It's looking at him on his third note
Just shoot bitch about right now. Yeah, or French through the doors as I would take three flames of the other two and
There's quick that one was an E-co Apex
All right three two.
So if Chad said three two what does he want?
He wants likely just going to be two players through lower tunnels.
Right and then the three working out.
You're going to smoke mid doors.
It's really short.
You're putting it through a long corner smoke.
You're going to call how many neds a lot.
They have long spawns.
That's the corner smoke.
And there will be some actually three long flashes go.
Flamed deep strafs on out and yet XC2 lead you have to concede that space.
He's... he's starting to set a lot.
You have both options because you also have upper tunnels if they're trying to push
your input through lower upper two players that are doing that and you also have
one control in the first 10 seconds for now. So right now the map feels extremely small for 3D
max. I also just want to draw attention to the diligence from Apex you can see
his position was just holding for that long flank until Rob's was ready. They're retaking
it. That's a good move. That is good move. You don't want to have that opportunity
I'm not going to retake long again.
I think you should probably go for short control in this situation.
There can't be strong long and short and the moment it is just one man like you there on his own.
Ford positioned on his own.
Yeah, trying to connection with him through middle I thought was macca but now he's shooting over towards B.
While it's heading towards the tunnels.
Oh, Zona was communicating a lot off the smoke.
Seems like it was more than just a thrown smoke B.
He's got indication of numbers from that.
I think it's their out of smoke speed.
Ah, that will do it.
Yeah.
So after this middoor smoke fading, there's no more smoke to block.
They could just set a plea.
Need to be split or be poppin'.
We've seen how powerful the bee poppers become.
A bit of a listenin'.
Making fun of the E-caround.
Oh, boys.
I want one as well.
That's good for your ratings.
They're just runnin'.
Molly, smoke, flash, and spray.
Gravity, one.
Makka needs a fresh Makka Zing.
going to be hiding at the back of the site. I'm pops and get some stuff. I headshot. It's still not enough.
And Rob's hearing this. Lucky does go down to an immediate trade and an upgrade.
To one, two. So I was smoking a really poor any attempt through the window. So I'm going to
good-hey-chee, softens them up for these two M4s on the T-side. It makes can't peek.
That's a little short of headshot. Yeah.
Oh, I beat Kanja! Maybe he can!
Are you worried about that?
This pokes is head up like a little.
That's too easy.
Oh my god.
Haha.
5-1, 4-0, get partial by and the pain keeps on coming.
What are those little creatures that look like cute of rats that like stand up on their
hind legs?
You can't.
Yeah, cats, thank you.
Great train from Mezi.
I'm thinking, all right.
Zoyotex was content, then he pokes activates because the attention is drawn.
But no, it just finds the perfect timing. They line up.
I think that he's second breath. Probably not a bad idea.
There might be a technical off the market.
This one, it's normally not a good sign when the coach is talking to tournament operations.
But they're gonna have to give them the 30 seconds again
if the microphone wasn't working.
I don't know about it here if the mic's up near your head.
Yeah, hello?
No, no, no, they can't hear me.
Yeah, you know talking to the phone.
Okay, so let me I want a theory craft if there's a chance that 3D Maxis lower bracket
Right is gonna be oh, it's gonna be pretty brutal isn't it possible? It is possible not impossible
Right, I think that there's still an option. I still feel like the loser of Malsaur roll right is probably gonna be the biggest threat down down there
alongside Falcons and and
For me it's Falcons yeah, I know that they had a rough game against Aurora
But I still I still would backfowards in
team. BcG versus phase, that's coming up next on the Mainstream with Harrant Hugo and the
Bstream will be Energy versus Falcons. The loser of this game drops down and will play
the winner of the Falcons and IG games. That's tough one. Yeah, that's where you have
an opponent if you're 3D maxed at Energy, get the job done. We will be returning to the
most. This coach headsets keep everybody up to date and once we get the headset fixed,
We will be giving him the 30 seconds again.
What's those CPUs up to?
You have the head exotic at the major run and then exotic.
Oh, you could have set it on the bench.
Yeah, exotic step down so it's he came back.
And also the other boon for energy and crack off is the fact that nitrate is here alongside the team
doesn't have to stand here. Right, right.
Elsie was benched, and it was at July 7, 2025, and just came back now.
December 23rd.
Yeah, some of these teams energy being one of those names has to play these local and smaller
lands for the RS points essentially so you will see them playing throughout the
tournament breaks the same thing happen with game eligen yeah if these events
are on you're going to feel the need to attend them and try and get the wins
whether you're just bolstering that that's landman portion or the better
teams you know European teams have been traveling over to play in some of these
fragged elfiers, flomlands etc.
and
all good looks like his mic's functional so yeah he gets his 30 seconds now so he went from
a
attack to attack back to a attack saying coach is talking yeah the coach is talking because
the mic wasn't working down
that's my three yeah that's why it was you all coaches minor workin
It's time trouble.
Okay, well, they're taking the time out into a partial buy.
Yeah, it's a long drawn out port isn't it?
Yes, but should be getting this one underway in a moment.
These sites just been flowing so oh so lovely.
If you haven't missed,
I need the action up until this point. You haven't missed much.
It's not very one sided, but it is good to see vitality and fine form.
It is. That's the key, right? The defending champs of the IAM winner championship.
Or number one's from the 2025 taking to the server and putting in some comprehensive counter strike against opponents that
you would hope that they'll be beating, right? But there's been some nice moments,
playing has been really good with the openers. And you've really talked about the head to head as far as, you know,
This isn't the first time they've had to deal with vitality and the same.
Alexis, I've got a big example by a game. He's just marred up the maga.
That's right. He's really strong.
They're already on EcoBoys. You give them a chance.
Can we just run it now? Can we see that?
As soon as possible, that would be nice.
My game of the day is going to be theory of versus Navi for elimination.
Yes.
Yeah, that'll be the final match on the A3.
Should be good.
I'm excited for the second one of the day.
Here it is.
Bada-bing.
Oh, I'm not straight to your face.
Fair enough.
Yeah, alright.
Sometimes the real wrecking nice real.
If pushing up mid, there's going to be a fight.
There is.
And I'm already on the flash.
Still going to get one.
So only going to be one body flow.
Exorcist no real hope here.
I think so, I would maybe even spot him on the jump spot, so we can get two chances to click that mouse.
Now I'm out of here, he's all.
They know on the vitality side that it is going to come out now.
At this point, it's an opportunity for Macker to try and insert and stuff in the game.
He's one of these opposites to hang around mid doors a little bit more with the brakes,
also pushing into lower tunnels for peaks.
See that, Aralegada?
Yeah, he tried to make that as hard as possible.
I'm just immediately wanting to see how they cross and how Maca peeks med.
He is trying to find anyone suicide and doesn't spot apex.
I think it gets a catch a flash of in, but it's going to be nice for the position of body that
them remedy.
Scaze out for action and there's already going to be a quick response time here for three
to make if there was a commitment be.
Okay, so now they've called it off.
Three and up a tunnels apex gets to call from the grave right now.
Mesis the one lingering around top mid is where if for the potential continued push
That as we can see they've just settled into the numbered banner drying out
Off of Maka after the initial clear over the was middle will reposition to
And the key spots were not to plant us to over the wards a
Right now this is looking very good for a 30 max second rounds
the
Slimin on the clock and
yet to start grouping up with any clear indication of a finish it's gonna be
claims into lower tunnels
Thrust on the congregate now top mid back cat
40 seconds
Suddenly man's left short
Have the YouTube to go for an AXC car. I mean, they've got so much new till
So do 3D Max they have a decent amount of blockmates left. They also can flash into certain fights
I was starting to see take shape 25
25 seconds miss shot from the ball backer
Reemptive smoke gonna be able to give him some room to play around nice from lucky Mese
He's got the bomb on his back. It's not looking good until it is
There's he still alive, Dink does get hit and a jump spot not gonna connect. He's got 10 seconds to be planting and he's done
So it is gonna be 3D Max's second as you prophesized
Couple of AK upgrades and an important one for the really Max's CT confidence
I probably feels two telegraph there and they have to pee together and who's throwing what smoke so they've just gone out on that very limited utility
Considering the belts they had but the foreround gap
Have to become three
This is toprides a legshot that Mac asked to bring out the U.S. Peter finish off for ops.
Full bite. Full vitality.
You think they're looking at Mac?
But he's going to just push up the guards. He's going to play in this limbo state right now.
They're going back to this scene.
It works out for one.
Oh, not this time.
It's going to be Mac that gets the opening with body's help.
All right, so these midfights, to an erode, it's been a macabody show to just be a real
nuisance to slow the scaling of vitality for the control, a bit in short.
Hello, lucky.
In a 5v4 advantage, you're still pushing for a advantage.
Now flames is hunting in which leads to a nice canach axis, the profits on the jump
out from the flames eat.
Now you've got a 3v5.
Now you can call your jets.
So what a fight.
You do?
He picks his...
and a try and pick up Zayne's open.
Use it to hold the mid side.
Well, this is where they love so much cash.
It makes us 10k.
So I don't think we'll see them go for a save here.
Oh, X to C, 10k.
This still wins it!
Are they back in that aim?
At least we're seeing them force
my time to be uncomfortable and they're not giving up yet.
So...
You know, X is still giving it to their all.
The shot from 8Bakes shouldn't be much more, from vitality's campers, Massey and Apex
have made a 512-up.
We're going to pass the Ori on too, and yeah, getting passed the off the hard part, especially
with Maca at the hell.
Now as the shot necessary, Massey does match the second of his flashbangs, and so Maca
is going to be responsible for stopping him doing anything else.
Oh right.
So yeah, another buy APX can facilitate flames over the gun.
They will be able to work this one out in the washroom.
You worry about X, that's getting on the micro.
I'll poison before we run into the cash.
Let's do something about this.
It pushed mid twice and we've died twice to the mid push.
Yeah, so spawns will be a factor of how quickly they can mantle this boost for Zywa.
And they don't have good long spawns.
So if Rocks wants to be the footstool, all Mazey, that's going to be fine.
So we can jump on the head left side and they can attempt to take that fight.
take that fight. If you have the player pushing through doors and macro on the cover, there's
a feeling that he's only going to get one. Right? So let's say you kill body pushing the
middoor, but their macro trades you out. This is late. Right? And then drop into this
light with the free fall. And that's a frustrating death there for Osiris. Yeah, how
themself to a high standard. The other way of going about this is just to really slow down
the default because you've lost those opening kills in pretty early exchanges. So instead
of even fighting suicide, all you don't have to do, right? You can just throw the doors
smoke that Molly towards cat. You can even from back cat Molly lower if you want to clear that up because you know 3D max is going to be aggressive
Let's aggressive the pile and they've pushed on the right side this time round
Makers open to catch flexing progressions. It's all too easy. So instead of using the nails again that they're just peeking into this
Maker continues just to pick mid doors
What is there, Fabax?
Steps a toe out of line ahead of the smoke.
Now, I'll feed them to make a move, confirming it's not a forward short set up.
So you're playing from behind again, and how are you going to break back into this?
It's just gravity on bea but rotation won't be too far away.
As he has the bomb on the tail of this boat, he's quite wary of all these pushes and doesn't want to lose that bomb.
More short pressure, but X is calling it clear.
X is selling a fake, I hope it'll go B.
He picks up something up on new barb.
Close for a bit of a commitment on the straight. He could be in trouble if the off goes wide.
A gravity on high alert.
At the time of the block, the support of a member is not here, but it can rotate over.
You can get there quite quick,
a bit of damage on the Nade,
and Apex does push on through the doors,
finding just the one and done.
Gravity with the at least one here,
and he's made the round a lot easier,
does very well to find this.
There's the funnel up from lucky,
comes swinging on in,
does not finish off Sioux,
tax him up.
I will be planted,
walking through the smoke seems
like Exorcism has to be flashed in,
it's long timed,
beautiful from 3D Max and a misshot
from all of Sioux,
won't make that mistake twice,
and one versus one,
Mac already out the window in the blind spot of the sidewalk.
He's walked to the blocked up the base.
Oh, I thought Mac are in really positioned himself well there to be, I don't know,
overlooked by Zaywoo, but there I go, doubting Zaywoo and his game sense.
It's just a tough one there for Mac are out with the orb out window.
You're not in a, you're so exposed in that position.
He's hoping there's always playing around the big box, still start to park backwards,
but...
The emblems incorrectly.
Yeah, see. Oh, he's still pitboxed, didn't realize he got in the cross to tollbox, so that's why it looks a little bit.
Oh, guys, that's a bit please, come on!
Oh, that's a border, alright.
Still three rounds where 3D Max have been able to confirm an opening kill and make it tough for vitality school,
and still read 7-3, 2 rounds left in his half.
You do have your 45 advantage there, you're going to feel pretty rough about losing that one.
Apex did well out mid-doors to get one, but the fact he's traded this through there that truck
set up.
The fact you get that, he's screaming at that point as well, right, and it should just be
one guy on B, and they start paving it, probably still good for one, but that's not
enough, thanks to the Zyru, Clutch 12 and 4 right now, oh, like he tries to get across
the boost, arrives just in time, so they also missed the Nage.
Lucky took the Nade damage. It didn't land in the door. So he got slowed by the Nade, took damage, and it didn't really give the black smoke to their hoping for. So that's
Very, very tough, but poor lucky years. Now it's the 4v5 advantage in favor of vitality.
That's really much shoved into this one. Then they get 2900 loss bonus going into the next series again.
And so it hasn't landed perfectly has to jump up, yeah, the knight hits him.
Which actually leads, as I will not miss in the timing.
So right now we have a gamble stack out of 3D max off of the number disadvantage, they're
playing for A. If it is a mid to B or a B finish they're going to hold on to these, otherwise
they're one of a great pined to the next round, gravity's heard the mountain mid.
The ultimate timing is going for checks to see if he can catch them as they start to probe.
You're also waiting for flashes through the smoke, you can see flames that's what's playing
a door so we can always down back and you support their work as their help.
Second wave will be into the beast, but...
Well, thanks, you've been south.
It's all you have to consider in that situation, so now that they've dealt with that,
they know that the B-bombsite should be pretty easy.
Just having to worry about body, we can see he's not here, he was that stack so as long as they can maintain his ult for the macro they will have it for the next round, but
Apex might want to call these players out for the hunt
They don't have a crazy amount of cash, but you could sacrifice one to two players in pursuit of wiping the board
Which only make the app?
9 even more likely
For your tea side hall
Oh, lovely flashbang.
Okay, well, that's probably where Vitality will leave it.
Through your max successfully fighting to hold onto their weaponry, actually measure
Last second one, chasing that orb.
Marker prevails, he'll keep hold of it, but still worth while pursuing it.
Let's make a way to equip himself with that AWP for our final round of this second map's first half.
Not another one, he's at it, he's at it too, he's at it too, so I was not going to be able to hit the shot, the cross gets numbers though.
And now they're punished to a long control.
A bit of patch around so it's been a little bit more default.
Now they have all this long space, and that hasn't landed perfectly.
Massive void on the left side.
I hope you can keep it through, so I will be as investigating.
The Pustry Tons is a team and consider it clear, so clear indications are very long-centric finish.
Smoke break or the Nades, yeah, okay, so they're going to encend you're either round, there will be exploitable, you can still walk up.
Oh, and luck you spotted.
It's poking out of shoreside.
Founding that as Molly and Blake.
Oh, come and blow.
Nice for Max to cease.
Makein' something.
Out of the smoke push.
Apex can't find him.
Only 10 bullets left in the night.
There's two around the gas and the ammo.
Surely, Max to cease to get another.
It's my bullet.
It's plain to trade.
Nice from flames on the follow-up.
How do they get through there?
What body and luck you must have lined up?
A little burst of the AK-47 and two of them go down.
Go down.
We're talking about Makas' Orb,
doesn't look like it's gonna really get much of a chance
to have impacts.
I won V3 final round of the half.
You have to give it a go.
Yeah, but not looking easy, not looking fun.
By any stretch of the imagination,
vitality set for you, dominant T-side hall.
And Makas, the walk on it,
and Zai was posted, get spotted out.
They know where he is.
A rifle and a swing to his death.
9-4 vitality, all going to plan the playoffs and wait from vitality so long as they can keep this up.
It's a good one.
Good idea, huh?
I'm flashing now.
Good one.
Splashing game!
Do it!
No, what's up?
Get out!
Go!
Do it!
No!
Get out!
That's not it!
I don't want to show you!
You wait, we'll have to jump!
No!
Let's go!
No!
You see, when you're talking, play good runs, it's fucking!
Yeah.
Keep doing it that way.
in good energy from vitality,
reverting the intensity in the comms as well.
I mean, it's, uh,
no mistake to they are nine,
three up.
They haven't been dominant throughout this series.
In fact, it was, uh, yeah.
Well, I'm asked the class.
Nothing, 3D Max could do.
Put it in a clinic on there.
This is really, honestly,
from a world-class squad land vitality.
They just thought of falling on the pistol.
Didn't receive anything.
Rob's also a pit mid-doors.
Now he's over to be,
but they're playing a re-takes out of pump B right now.
Unfortunately, full vitality,
Looks like 3D Max will be able to get in for free unless Rob's can pop them through the smoke.
Yeah, Rob's got to have to hear the first crack that head.
Hey, look at the arm.
The jump from lucky a little too early.
If your eyes on Apex's flashes here.
Can he's been gifted to them?
Just needs the one.
Flames will throw the first.
That's a smoke.
So give them an extra way in.
Two flashes to be changed in.
Window fight nice from body catches one being thrown.
My flames even look too exposed.
I'll push his in, he does find himself a fast,
we can't adjust into Maca, Maca,
and grab a thing with it all to do.
Apex is going to melt, take another pit stone.
Okay, that's three out of the four pistons played so far,
but we know that didn't really help them on inferno.
I just have to convert one.
This is where it has to get started
if you want any conversation of a competitive 3D Max today.
It's looking like it could be an eighth consecutive loss.
And another game where it is just single digits against the beasts that are vitality
that will force by a vacuum.
They've got two scouts in this one.
It's very safe from 3D Max.
They're doing from their perspective right side bush from always right now left and that's
where they can just spot the lower bush.
It alleviates the pressure on Lucky as he makes his way into tunnels.
And looks like they want to clap down on either a Mitsubi or Short Control very quickly.
They scout and dig all around the mid-dors, so I only try to transition back over towards A for the stack.
Just a mid-to-B smoke force, they're handed all over, they just stick with this, and then go for another bite into the next round if they have gambling correctly.
So how is it going to swing into this?
Let's take a probe.
No immediate pursuit of the trade or trade, I say.
Chase, I should say.
Stuff as well, because if they did swing, they had Merzi at car.
So if you came scaling out, the next scout was ready there to Pippia.
Oh, nice. That man. Nice fine for Max and Seats for turning to the fight.
I'm in the big out.
need to be a perfect answer. So I'm as multiple of you don't get down through this smoke. It should just be a 3 max round.
I'm just gonna say, hey, thanks could break the smoke, but just look at some damage and it might just be the save because they're able to salvage that.
It means that everyone can have the same guns into the next as long as they don't go down. So 3d max will take the fifth.
And then going to keep all five alive. This is a good start to bring the game back into relative contention.
he needs to do that again. Reflecting on vitalities went to start 2025. That was in
Katavitsup. We're at the spiritual successor now crack off and they three-ode
spirit. That was the statement to start the season. Then what became? I don't
think anybody could have predicted. But in that run they only dropped one map.
That was in this same matchup as we're seeing right now but against face. That was a
21 series they went on in the CD match up against VP with a two-ode and they ran the
semis of the Mongols two-ode and the three-ode has mentioned against spirit.
So let's see if they can do one better, right?
This would mean having a spotless record not dropping a single map.
Well, like you were saying, I mean over the last few shows, the better.
Yeah, and this is a team that also has had some hard learnings and they're also very good at
goal setting.
So coming out of the player break in the middle of 2025, they were slow.
They weren't where they were before, and I think they learned a lot from that experience.
In fact, they went on to still win the second major deal with those woes.
Very impressive.
Now with that knowledge coming into the start of 2026, I mean I drew a being at the first
team to have a win two grand slabs, looking for a third consecutive major, that would be
Apex is 50 with then equal to 3.
There's a lot to play for right now.
Oh, that's clean.
So many breaks as well.
Just a nuisance now, they have the numbered vanish.
Yeah, so I was putting that saved that scout for Barry.
Can you see how the chance on to lucky, but quicker on the draw?
Well, they've blocked them at short.
They might challenge them into the mid to be where Rob's is the only one standing right now.
Or does that convince 3D Max so that's just a lone A player trying to delay?
That's not an ordinary sound yet.
What the hell is this?
Oh dear enables Flamesy enables Mersy everyone's hitting their shot 3D Max crumble upon
Arrival walking into the stack you've lost the ball and you've lost the round as well another scouting.
That's lethal, brutal!
A very good name, yes you did.
Those HGs landed square on the nose,
soften them up for the deagle,
and back to regular scheduled programming.
Oh, nice, great to have it there.
It was the real nuisance, wasn't it?
The HGs such a problem.
And so we get value out of that,
but as they breach through the gray screen,
they're greeted by a Nade and bullets.
And that's what's so brilliant,
is that made Lanzi very started to commit and then send it.
I said that the dig or the rule of being thrown at you at the same time was like a very stressful for pretty mags
Apex is starting to be meditated boost on
CT top off. So
As he did significant damage tracking gravity's jump up you only do this from Apex if you're expecting it to be mid to be quite early
Within the round back because you can do this more mid round so peace thinking they will be
Try to finish with the beast split and right now
So plenty of options they've just thrown a lurkspock on beat
Some yells from the other end of the hole. It's a roar at versus mouse mount number two a roar at one map to the good
winner of that will lock themselves in to the Toron
And for a roar at selling the year where the roster change
To replicate what they did in the previous which was very successful regardless of some of their playoff lows
for Turkish team.
Yeah, two different conversations, isn't it?
Well, now's the 10 that needs to be able to break through in the finals.
Aurora wants to need to break through unless they get to the playoffs.
Probably now's new very well once upon a time, and they are meant to being Alex.
Yeah, and it takes a bit here the whole damn time.
Get the body bomb.
Remove to lucky suppose get arriving late to be.
Still being held by two members of Vitality now, just one, rops into here.
Lucky lovely double entry. Oh, and gravity really has ended the conversation taps apex try and attend to the B-bom site
And growing in that smoke so despite apex is premonition and frag it still work really max looking round. Well, they know that there's a dex player on P
That's true lucky to catch one
So I think they're in a chance right now to give it a go
Makes a season must
At least find one if not play the whole clutch on his own
65 to work with now if you want to win this vitality
You gotta hurry this up
The time on the side of 3D Max will be very good now about 6-down planes you can't hit the doubles and so a little bit of a three-round game now
3D Max to in and solves justice
Important and impactful double kill from lucky. Yeah, that is an unfortunate right because the set-up was reading them perfectly
Apex New York was coming there had the right plate of people in the right place the mid to be happened the Chris cross, right?
That is one way to avoid the death
So it's messy to get those frags, but you have to really credit lucky right now this second one
Just the boys to have to stay with the clears instead of getting ahead of yourself
Both teams with some emissions into round number 17's buys and p7
Famous those the problems for vitality at the other side scout and at max 10 so I will has his ult
Maca
It has the little version. We'll have to be headshots if it wants to be a lunch-on-shot kill
Looks like I'm going to do a late walkout long.
There's no one currently home to receive them.
It's a flamesy if you get to back in time to replenish.
I'd love to talk and going on right now.
Smoke's faded on long as he's going to round his corner.
Okay, just got his guy in time.
Oh, they might use that as a...
Come and throw that disrespect straight, rogue gravity didn't quite synchronize with the flashbang ideally flames you already had his gun out
Crossfire bang on the money. They put it all their faith on the beast site on Zywin now
He's back and plat with the air to be Peter's double goose that up's interesting
It is the surface jump of the flames because body was ready to receive that comfortable
I bet you into the A play now in a certain loot
Three-man he's so stuck oh he gets him fallen to him. How to get that wicked just moon a
Oh, how is he sprayed three a single magazine of the bomb-ass and he takes all four.
Wow, yeah, that's a big of beauty there for Vapex wasn't it.
Oh there.
MS Highlight, you don't see those every day at a week.
It is a French gun.
It's wielding it well.
And that is another one stuff for 3D Max.
Just wearing the point of breaking through, they went a handful around, they could break
the money here and Apex just happens.
He is reading the well, the setups are beautiful but this is the blind.
The double.
On the single spray lovely little trans-blog.
Ah, okay, go to the translation.
54 years old bro.
I want to let him know.
Just for the record, he's not 54.
He's not, otherwise.
I don't wear it for the fount of youth is I would like it.
French numbers, scare me man. You have to do the times, tables and stuff just to start saying the numbers.
I think the number that Vitali know very well in French is 13.
Right, just too much to get there.
It's been a great display from an individual standpoint, but also I've like the calling of like the reads.
The one saying it's the best mids mode.
It's beef pop.
Robbs on his own.
And Robbs is gonna be just unloading his magazine into the snow.
He's so comfortable even the USP had a chance.
Zey will finish off the job.
See you later, 3D Max!
Shut down, shut out of the round.
It's the Zey will and Robbs show on B.
Well, we're gonna add another single digit loss to the laundry list of the 3D Max versus Vitality story.
What was the best you set 39?
I think the best overall was in Furno this time last year and kind of it's in 1916
So that was their closest game, but the rest have been pretty dominant the next closest yes was 13 to 9
So they will have been the quiz this eight maps player between the two of them since last year and now and
It's a eight o' winning record of vitality
Seven of the eight being single digit wins
I'll say that's a confident orpink from psiwoods, but adopting that position on his own.
You get spotted out by the, uh, Tag9.
Body.
Gonna try a very similar player again.
Yeah, right. Rob's doing it.
Gonna get to again.
Betty, wish the air the air for in that situation.
True.
An extra bullet.
Coming in after doing it on his own.
Here they come.
All right.
Rob's different position.
And there's a cookie is similar result.
Yeah.
Yep, that's going to be game, that's going to be playoff's vitality dominance on display
defending champions of the IAM winter championship will be in the arena the tour of arena awaits full vitality
3 max bottom race
But they couldn't keep up with vitality
That's 2-13 to 6 victories and that is vitality looking at the top of their game
They move forward to take on the winner of Bowser's Aurora rage on that beast stream
And they will knock out that will lock in that 17th consecutive top 4 finish.
This is a team whose era we are living in right now, it's about canon continue in 2026.
If they're playing like this, this dominant form could be one to take them to another
trophy lift.
Remember they need this one to really start the conversation for another is our grand slam.
But this is a team who have come into 26 with a goal, plenty of them, and right now they're
performing at the level I think they would be proud of.
The games on the air tough up the arena awaits will be quarters will be semis, one
more best of three with in stage two to determine exactly that.
Yeah, when you do ask vitality, you know, can you replicate the incredible year you just
had?
They say, well, it wasn't good, yeah.
It's going to be hard to do that for they don't say no.
I see, right, you live in the moment.
I think this is the team who is always very well prepared for exactly that.
We will be getting a win as interview in a moment's time, but for 3D Max, they now drop
down to that lower bracket and it is going to be a tough run.
Falken's already down there. We're going to have the winner of phase and BCG.
Falken's they still have to take down NRG. Let's not write them out. They're looking pretty
good with OC back in the roster. And the loser of Mal's Aurora. We've grown down there as
well, which neither of which is going to be a fun opponent for anyone.
Just actually it's still happening actually. So if you wanted to check out more
Counter Strike, that's happening over on the B stream. We're now to the playoffs.
That is an eruption coming from that end of the whole very, very shortly.
many more counterstrips to come today. Vitality made it a quick game. But we're gonna hear it from
Trace down on the sidelines with Apex. Yeah, they say victors get the last words, which is exactly
what we're gonna look at right now because Apex and company lock in that birth in the arena for the
Intel Extreme Masters. You know, this trophy in Katavita at least alluded you for a long time. You're a lot
closer to this one again. Thoughts? Well, it's not gonna get everything anymore. Maybe the curse is over. I mean,
the girls ended under last one. If we can't get a bit as well, it's only my fourth playoff
in Poland. So I'm really happy. Also the majors back then in PGF 2017, there was in this arena.
I didn't play there. I didn't qualify. Two, three in Swiss stage. So yeah, it's been,
it's a good, it's a good feeling today. It has to be a good feeling, especially when you saw
the dust two came on the video. Tell me, they thought they could play dust two against you or what
What are you thinking?
Now, but the thing is, of course, the other Pyramidan, like we do.
And those two is not the strongest map.
And we might be the best ever on the map.
We are playing really well on it.
We're feeding it.
So of course, it's not easy to beat us on our best map.
Yeah, at one point, you had said, play good rounds.
See the difference.
And then the following round, obviously comes together.
Tell me about those moments and how that is able to get your team back on the same page.
Well yeah, I think we troll a bit the second run by playing a bit too aggressive.
I think that we don't usually do, but I prefer to say it straight away.
My teammates knows me, like they don't take it bad nowadays.
They exactly know what I mean.
And yeah, they run straight after, we win the fourth because we play well together.
And we exactly play as we are supposed to do.
So yeah, I think that it's good to be able to be yourself,
and that your teammates are reacting properly.
It's all about like the all characters we have and I have a bit different than the others.
but that's the way it is.
Final words for 3D Max.
No, I mean, I know all of them.
I like all of them.
Even though I like to beat them as well,
but I really hope they're going to qualify.
They missed for no for the experience,
the big play of games, and they need that.
So I really hope they're going to win.
Of course, it was an easy, they had a really good game.
Two days ago against phase.
Again, it's not there yet, but hopefully they will qualify
because I like them and for the Frenchian.
Thank you very much, Dan.
kind of what he said. What's kind of break in your life.
getting a little bit greedy pop on a shot I'll help out by Jimmy on the right foot
and he's timing for him to swing there crunching on middle now it's gonna get back to
eight now the rounds in a row required for them to take it into over time with the
guns we'll be put back into place here for a row we've seen some flashy plays
if you've seen some big punches towards that A-bombsite, get shut down.
Just imagine having much more in the tank here.
To get one more round on the board.
You said it's definitely gonna run under here.
See this T-side try to fight for Clark and Shorohade now.
Utility forced.
Out of the CT hands enough,
back a little bit more passive, but he feeling that heat and the amount of utility
falls down. My cure for a re-adjustment here. Walking through this smoke
in towards porch. This is a little bit information I did if I had walks
exploiting out the play now and pit. He's isolated.
Horsey. Oh, a collateral though. A devastating shot to the offense. Jimmy
still stuck in pit. Oh my god. Oh my god.
Third. Absolutely locking it in, but Soulfly has broken through the pit anchor.
That's the one soul, an ace like defender.
Bonds gonna be planned in two versus four.
Low HP here for the remaining attackers of Aurora,
but time working in their favor and soul fly.
Trying to make a patient play inside the boiler.
He could act with us like he's being held
for by spinks though, and now LaCadia,
and in impossible position, he will be dealt with.
Nine rounds per mouse, a sigh of relief for Torji as he puts together the triple kill to stop a calamity.
And what a skewer right there out of the op shot.
Save them some big concerns right there.
That was an isolated pit player.
That smoke fades just in time.
You honestly can't believe that Torji is sticking around there.
When walks of gets spotted out and you know there's only a single pit player,
You want to rotate it as the offer in towards the motor to provide some support.
These ticks around in towards arches almost becomes a late rotate aspect of that play and
even in doing so manage to find the multi-kill with one option even through it's in another.
So where's you keeping the round and safe hands?
And now, let's get a put together a ninth.
Big opportunity to strike up.
I feel like the white call for Aurora.
Now nothing to thank just yet. Still more to do half-by coming through the tech lines around.
For youround is so dangerous.
From Aurora, this could be another one of them.
As once again, three man B-lean into apartments controlled in my car is fully blind.
Nearly gets the kill anyways on the Jimmy he's running away knife out. Oh
Jimmy just barely escapes towards you a great teammate
Dude
Low state here in between that duo playing in tandem
Sure the biggest trade could have been a trade there towards he backs up his teammate
And ensures that again this huge game plan that Madras got hooked up to head into this round
It's gonna be met by a aggression.
This execute left limited.
Utility gets dropped to the floor with every kill that's found.
Just punch you play.
Look at it be nullified here.
There could be an HE for the big pit though.
Not my finish off, I'm sorry, double it.
There's Jimmy Gown.
And now the site collapsed coming through
though towards you does not miss right now.
This teammates are gonna thaw it slowly.
Tech Nines, during damage here
and again another opportunity for the rookie in the old guard
to get the job done and lock in playoffs.
Address picks up the off to try and give it to.
Smoke forward here from Asher.
Not gonna wait for this retake.
Molly in towards the site.
The advance begins.
Magger, on lane, clear's out the play.
Now looking on this lane, connects with the off.
It's gotta be Broland 1v2 or Aurora are in the Tor on.
Roland, stepping forward.
Magger holding the cross.
A 4k to end it.
Not going on.
and with one but so fly the rookie brings Aurora to playoffs a new player, a new
release of wine on this team. You doubted them out of the elite but right now in
2026 they are back.
Having to land some adjustments here, calling in, you're young going to get the job done
and so flagged, it's grinded for so long and the depth of tier 2 is tier 2.
Watch out the ways that you send me to you
And everything, let's let your end
Let's let your end
Now get us now, go
And give us faster
You won't tell me that it's sad
I don't know, it's your first subscriber
Let's just kill and we'll see a catch
Let's see a catch
We'll run out of nowhere
We'll catch, we'll see a strike
Let's just kill and we'll see a catch
We'll see a catch
And we'll see
What's it to live my head in your shoulder?
For a minute, be who's stronger.
Be who's stronger.
And get stronger, and get faster.
Your moment told me when you started to hurt.
Your face is straight through.
Let's just get a little sick of it, you'll see it, it's you
The eyes don't go, it's you, it's so sweet
Let's just get a little sick of it, you'll see it, it's you
What do you say, kids love?
Don't worry, she fits in strong blue
But she's getting worse and worse and worse
She's getting worse and worse and worse
God, what's he?
The Intel Extreme Master's Fracco, when he 26, brought to you by ESL, partnership with Intel,
Acer Predator, VHL, Zow, Chex, and City of Fire.
is on at the Intel Extreme Masters crack-off 20-26. The arena quite literally meters away,
but it will take a marathon to be making it in there. Phase of course, they know strangers to
the scenic route and also no strangers to this very trophy, having stood tall with a stand-in
back in 2022 and hungry to return to their former glory, no dial a milestone moment for
Karagon, which was in his sights for over a decade. But if you want to talk about 10-year,
then look no further than B.C. Games Coach, because once there might be some
recent champions on this B.C. Games roster, Tass and his all the way back in 2007 and
2012. Then teammates, now opponents, he must now take down the O, to survive on home soil.
My name is Facebook, it's joined by Yanko Chay, our and supery to get this show back on the road.
Grisha is certainly on and I wanted to open up the conversation there with the coaches
Because it's something that's always been on my mind, jail, surprisingly.
I've never been up, in fix-up plan, professional team.
So I don't really know what goes into this coaching business.
For you, what is most important?
What is the biggest important thing?
They're the coach can do for you personally.
I mean, first of all, in the hierarchy of a team, the coach has to be.
In the number one priority, you always respect him.
You always give him his time to talk, because at the end of the day, he's going to make
decisions and you can ask what makes a good coach. For me it's a balance of both.
A tactical coach and a coach who understands his players and understands what he needs,
what the team needs and how to improve the team to the best way they can play.
And there's just such a big variety of coaches. I think all coaches have their own way of doing
the thing. They probably want to be kind of the same. But I think everyone has different strengths.
one being a tactical genius, the L1 being maybe more of a guy that takes care of the team
to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You also had the one that has both, which is
my opinion, the perfect fit, right? And it's always interesting to see how coaches, I had
up a turn to drizzly also get to chat with the blade in the beginning of this tournament
and he was a coach that I've never really thought too much about, never got to work with him,
but he's just a very smart and very intellectual.
Could you attest to that?
Yeah, 100%
Like inside the game he's very tactical
You know outside the game he's very knowledgeable about the things he does
Even the simplest things of like drinking coffee
He knows how to drink and properly
He knows what goes in the coffee
And we are the seeds from
Which sub-region of Africa
It's always a pleasure to talk to him about the game and outside the game as well
I also hear he's a bit of a cinema nerd as well
Gary wants to get that actor too
Yes, yes
I just went to school for that
Something I don't know how true that is
Yanko, you've had the opportunity to coach some pretty big names inside Counter-Strike.
So I post the question to you, would have been some of your most important and impactful
timeout.
She gave me two examples, maybe a little bit of a parallel in both of these, but we're going
to start with the good.
The good.
Not this, it's on.
Yeah, this one was the captain of it's a major in 2019 and it was just, it was the game to
go into the playoffs and you can see the score is 15, 14.
I think the first half was 12, 3 or 13, 2 for us.
on CT side of cash and we're going into the T side and cloud nine starts coming back
and we're down to the final round. So I take a timeout sort of felt too
obviously had a lot of rounds to see everything that was going wrong and we were just struggling to find
the opening struggling to get anything going. So in this round basically I made a call for the team.
I don't know if the round is going to be in there as well, right? So it was just when you were behind,
right? Like you need to maybe add an extra layer to something to really fool your opponents,
because now they have all the confidence they were down, they were out of the game,
now they're one round away from taking it into overtime, they have all the momentum.
So obviously a different meta-back then flushes in the mind, the artist's nightmare,
but basically the call here was to simulate a double-fake.
So the kind of triple double fake of source, right?
Like, that's faking a two-way executes is the best way to put it, right?
You see, on the radar players are grouping up towards B1,
fortunately, we couldn't drop in eights back then,
so you see guys running back and forth based of the utility that they throw.
And, you know, the first way is going to come soon,
and this is very obvious, you know, to cloud nine,
that it's sort of a fake.
You can see no one moves from them.
At this point, they're probably reading,
they just want to bait out the smoke. So when the second wave of utility comes in, that's what
makes the movement. Right? Like now they're thinking, all right, they just wanted to do a two wave
execute, especially back in those days when you're behind like people fall back to doing executes.
But the call all the time was for the bomb to go squeak here and just after the two wave
executes sort of coming in and sending in a drent as a sacrifice. Really, I don't even know if
he was potentially our A guy on T side so this would like sell it a bit more if they see the
names they're not a hundred percent sure about that one but now it comes in you can see all
the rotates coming in right like four players are towards the B bomb site it's just rushed on
the zone and he's playing close to the smoke a trend as a great job of finding the entry here a
bit fortunate to get the trade and it ends up being pretty chaotic and close but thankfully
because of the players, they're able to clutch it out in the end and for us to win.
This was the first map of the series, so I think we won 2-0 or 2-1 in the end,
but that was an example of kind of things working out.
I think we could have stuck the diffuse here, even though it's not that bad.
So yeah, a bit fortunate at the very end, but we'll take those.
Did you ever manage to cook all that in 30 seconds?
Yeah.
The thing is, like, what do you do, you know, like, I was always, I don't care about what's going, you know, if there's a clotters, I'm just thinking about the big picture, what's going on?
What's like, because my role isn't to follow if this guy wins a clotter or what's, you know, I'm looking at how are we losing rounds or winning rounds thinking, okay, if what would be the call that I can give the team here,
what do I think will work and luckily I was right.
That's a really high-pressure situation to have to call that in though, right?
Like particularly when you're saying that's such a lead coming into the second half
Do there moments where like obviously this one works out
But I can't imagine how stressful that is
It's a coach to be kind of sitting there like oh my god
I can see everything happening in front of me
I can see all the issues but I can't always chime in and give you the being for you need
I mean it's very stressful because everything works so well in the first half
Everything's going great. I think also this cloud 19 is will you know
No one will remember it in the history books
but I think it was a very much underrated team we played them a couple of times against this
particular roster and they played good CS, Flash I think was the IGL, very annoying, automatic
was good on on the job right and it was always a tough battle but we managed to come out on top.
You were face roster that's pretty nuts though. What Guardian Nico all of as well like that
rain as well I'd ran as well like that's crazy was there ever any I don't know can you spill any
like it seems like a lot of big personalities in that way. Yeah, but they go along because they were together for a long time, you know, rain, all of Guardian,
an eco for two years almost.
At that point in time, a drain is a player that I look he really liked because when it came to the majors and the most high pressure games,
you can see in that round he got two or three kills.
He was the same, right? Like the pressure wouldn't affect him. I think even before this game he forgot his
You as B for the wireless mouse, so he had like five minutes of warm up or ten minutes of warm up instead of you know the full toss
I'm like like the two-two game like the guy doesn't bring this thing now. Is he gonna put a wire but he just didn't care and I've done a typical
Warman
Those big games he was always awesome and I really enjoyed the time
I spent with him. I don't even have to humble you in a sense and you're about to humble yourself because you brought up
Hey, I'm pretty not so great.
Example, when a timer doesn't go you way.
Not so great for me, great for Peter, right?
This was ECS finals season six, right?
Oh, against Prima Strale.
A little 15 situation.
15, 14 situation, right?
You see the buy on a strale.
It's not great.
He's at max sevens.
I'm like talking to fallenly, really trying to nail down
what it is that I want us to do
because those last couple of rounds were a bit backwards.
Like we were good in the gun rounds.
We lost both test tools, took us a while to get going on the T side, but here's a situation
where sometimes miscommunication can happen with the language barrier or just high pressure
situations.
So I guess we had a couple of rounds in place where it was basically a wrap through long,
and especially in rounds against pistol.
Like in this round, I didn't want to get stuck in banana or any close corridors or anything.
I wanted us to go split day with three players
to a long, simple as that, right?
The problem is we have two variations of this round.
A fast and a slow one.
I wanted us to do the slow one,
fallen understood that I wanted us to do the fast ones.
That's why we're jumping through a smoke
against CZ at 15, 14, after 20 seconds.
And magazine's of course getting a 4K
with the CZ, right?
Like, we were supposed to wait out the smokes,
keep simulating some pressure banana,
just force out the smokes.
And then once we have drawn all the utility we can from Australia
goes for a long, I think, two short, one short, one apps
sort of, and utilized the advantage in weaponry.
But miscommunication, we do something completely different,
we get tracked in the 2016-14, which is kind of really,
I think we lost two one in the end,
but it's just the manner in which you lose,
the players obviously being frustrated with why we're doing this.
It wasn't what I wanted to do, but
the thing that I couldn't answer was
also because of the language barrier
that you had the misunderstanding of it.
A little bit, then.
A little bit that maybe I didn't do
the best job of explaining myself.
30 seconds, high pressure.
I'm not sure, but it led to unsatisfying results.
I'm not completely disrollacing the groups
in a best way and we lost in the final.
I remember that, I think I was like,
one of the final second events I ever did.
I remember thinking, oh my God,
someone is finally going to be a journalist because you want the easiest before that you
want the major before that as well that really what you're yet you do remember this game
to appear as it's just not on the bed not on the yeah I do remember I got remember
the event actually and I also remember that we did get to play against him I
think it was as you can tell on the screen it was it's a very close one and I
think we were at that time I think we were surprised that because you were playing
with the Americans at point right I tear it to yeah and I think we we had this
idea that the communication barrier would probably make them not as good as they were, but
they were actually surprised and a good way and it came down to came down to a Linus
as we just got to see him, but and then that I think that we ended up winning, obviously
because we played well, but we did get pressure.
In terms of a post saying question to you, Dupri, as well, said, I mean, it's a hard challenge
because you play this on like for so long, I'm sure there's so many moments where he's had
instrumental kind of cool but he did give us one example he
remember of the top of your head which actually comes in to be an
amazing acts of keep on your eyes and we can roll that and yeah
maybe you can share with us what the memories were at this moment
I think when it comes to understanding you know being my my pretty much only
course I ever really got to work with it for a long time you know
he was also very good at understanding and it was kind of his
trait to to understand what he needed from the players and the moments
and he also got to uh... to understand like the how the
to get the game was progressing, if you could feel that we were doing tremendous takes, playing
too much individually, or we didn't really go back to the roots and how we really wanted to build
the game plan.
He was always telling us that if you could feel that, you know, okay guys, we need to take
us back, we need to play more as a pack, we need to do a bit more of the right ABC council
that we were so good at at that time.
And this given event in Chicago, I think it was a later stage of the year, we actually didn't
have the best of them coming into the, like the best time in coming into this event.
I think we obviously struggled a little bit
by, because we had one so much,
you know, we were kind of,
I wouldn't say we were in a burnout phase,
but we definitely were at a stage where we were traveling
a lot and we were making deep runs and to tournaments.
And in this give us a situation,
we find ourselves another 14, 15 situation,
but at this time we are the one that has to actually
pull into overtime and we can grow up against a fanatic team
at that time, I don't think people expected too much of,
but they actually meant to play well,
we can see Roland playing in there,
that was before he's in game standard.
right in game reading stand and coming into to this round I remember that throughout the game
we've been pressured and Sonic has time and time again reminded the team that we had issues
in terms of playing to individually and you can see the clock is running down and it is
the utility wise we have a we have a couple of utility left to actually do the B execute and
this is one of the more like notorious executes that people probably remember and at this time
It's running down at 35 seconds left. We only have one option and that is to do a full PGA execute on it.
This given time, it wasn't something that we had pre-funded. It was something we had to come up with a fly.
The people could chime in with grenades. So obviously, doing a model to have a secure 3 model to have one landing with
first and second box, the third one for the third box and fourth, and then obviously we just go
into the utility smoking CT and the coils. That kind of brings us back into O2. We definitely had a
had a bag against the wall, but that again, just showcase it that we want to go back to the
rules, playing it, ABC accounts like by playing a very structured round to bring it back
and go a little bit away from the whole individual place.
When you say you kind of came up with that on the fly, who comes up with that, is that like
grave charming and is that sort of coming in with some kind of ideas in that time up before
how did you construct that?
It was obviously, in the time hours, we knew that we had to go for some kind of, also
with how the round progresses loose in the first pick.
We knew that we had to come up with some good idea,
but Sonic has said that we had this possibility
of going back to the B-bumps and a hint that would make a cube,
but that wasn't really planned in that specific round.
I think we actually want to try and go back,
get some pressure on mid, but that turned south right.
And then we have to, that 40 seconds,
you had to look at the utility on your teammates.
And thinking, okay, we have a couple of Molly's,
we have some smokes, what can we actually do?
Go back to banana and then I think it was Matt's,
he's like, if you push me in half,
Well, I can Molly, I can Molly dark and we never Molly to dark.
And he was like, we just added that to you know, the twins probably said the same thing.
That's exactly what I mean.
And that is also where the player, when a player comes into mind and matches you, he's
this type of guy that would just know this model.
So, because if you were to boost anyone else in that team, he probably wouldn't have figured
that one out.
So, that may be very happy.
And I think life are some very amazing intro work and we manage to turn into over time and
win the end.
It's like glavens, like they must have had an extra special relationship, right?
It's something that I've always kind of asked you about your relationship with on egg
but for then that must have been a really interesting to see kind of develop over the years
and come into such a machine but so many teams just could not take down.
But glavens has always been like an extremely good engine leader both inside the servo
but also outside the servo.
He's always been extremely well at reading his opponents but also making the right decisions
when things matter to the most and he was really good at putting their passes together
but what he had like with what happened inside the rounds.
He's made roundings always very instrumental and think that
that starting also just prays him for that so many times.
So it's it's it's it's always this
apologies.
My throat is killing me.
But that the teamer between Sonic and Clevver's always been something that has been
and like very instrumental for for us to honest.
So I'm going to do a ride as coach.
A lot of things? What do you reckon?
Well, as he has the tools for it, right?
It's just about, for any first time coach, the job is different than probably what you expected to do.
You know, a lot of it, you think the main obligation is counter strike, it's not.
It's managing the personalities.
I guess those depends on the type of roster.
Yeah.
Obviously counter strike plays a big part of it.
Don't get me wrong.
But it's, I guess in their team, yeah, it's some younger players and a mix.
But it's like, you have a first time coach.
is going to be an interesting day now.
I can't imagine Blade had to step in too many times for personality things and you
will not be able to.
Maybe I'm totally wrong.
He seems like just a game guy, right?
I remember one time we were having a really poor game mood-wise, we're not doing bad
strat-wise but we're just low on the energy.
The game is not rolling, even though it was like four or four, I remember Blade took
a timeout and like 25 seconds, out of 30, he's been step up on the energy, just scream
if you run around to fake it, I don't care.
And then the last half seconds, you're doing good.
Just keep it in the pool.
I was so surprised.
That lifted me so hard,
and we just snowballed the game afterwards.
Wait, it doesn't curve.
You fake it, apparently.
On the way, we are going to check in.
We both all coaches are going head to head
in this series.
It's Tons and Neo, ahead of it.
New is a sword Taz that shield one
to most iconic partnerships in CS history.
Two former players, Terncotech, who
no have to, now have to transfer that plow mentality
onto their players.
It's got Taz on one side, Neon, the other,
and a big game here, and what's a very important crowd
to play in front of, so I'll start with you Neo.
What do you expect going in this game?
And what do you think that your former teammate
has transferred onto this player?
We expect to win, of course.
We want to win.
We've been struggling a little bit,
just not so long ago, so we know they can play really good.
They have a lot of experienced players,
is nice to meet them here in the game.
So, it's gonna be fun for sure.
Test?
I'll form for us.
This is a learning process.
We, this is our first event as a team.
We only had like two weeks of practice.
I think that there is a rumor to win games,
but there's also a lot of mistakes during our games.
So let's see which BC is going to be on the server today.
That's a pretty fair assessment.
Really well spoken, really eloquently done.
Also, I'm just running back in my head the first time I saw you guys play.
You want to major, I was kind of eats at 2014.
I was quite a few minutes ago, if you will.
And what would you say about all the time that's a lapse from then to now?
A lot of things have changed.
The game has changed.
We're not playing anymore.
You know, everything's going forward.
Like in all the sports, it's still nice to be here.
It's very intense, not much to add, I guess.
It's pretty fair, it's pretty straightforward, what do you got?
Not really much change for me.
No, I'm not playing, but we are still here, competing.
It looks a little bit more fancy than just to be.
But I guess, I mean, it's still 5 on 5.
Plan the bomb, defend the A or B.
the the basics are there so makes our gray hair you know or no hair speaking of
which no hair stressors whatever the case may be when we look at the
Saturday day who's the biggest threat on face they have couple trips you know
the carry gun can call really chaotic construct which will can be hard to handle
I think twists and frozen are always dangerous farming brokeies the
probably the expected to be important for them you got it I mean they got
They got some crazy players, right?
It's not only simple,
which, you know, gold contender.
They have electronic materials
has been there for a while,
a very experienced player.
We'll see, that's another amazing game.
The guys, anything you wanna say about Neo
and phase four jump at the server?
I don't know, good luck, bro.
Have fun.
I'll still check hands if you want to.
It's a PC game taking on days.
Always a sportsman, a taz, and Neo,
and touch Japan at the Yanko.
No, that's necessarily being the smoothest six months to phase.
So I think it's fair to say that.
To say the least, right?
I mean, this would be, let's just put it this way.
It phase somehow manages to lose to BC game.
They need to make a roster changing immediately.
Like there's nothing left for that team.
And considering also that the track record in the last two years
in terms of, that's one of the more poorly managed organizations
at the moment, I mean, letting first a player like twist,
Then someone like Robbs leave on a free transfer.
I mean, that's gross negligence of roster management.
You know, I'm not saying you should have kept,
you know, you could have kept them on the roster.
Could have got in something.
Yeah, so they go to a team like Vitality Robbs goes, right?
To only end up getting to its back in a trade deal for a leader.
So even then, you don't get as much value.
And here you can see it was just, I mean,
they didn't have the best of chances.
Because again, mismanagement.
Like they were, they were unaware that they lost their core
once they added Jacob to the roster for a leader,
so they need to have rain come in last minute to pro League.
At the end up making the semi final,
knocking out spirit in the quarter final,
out of the whole things, have a great run.
Everyone's thinking, this was supposed to be the roster, guys.
Like, what did you do?
Then Jacob with no practice,
they fly straight to China last place.
They go to an experiment like last place or whatever.
Just no confidence being able to be built up.
And then, 0.4 seconds away from getting eliminated and staying drawn.
I'm looking back, probably would have been better for them if they got eliminated at that point.
I'm not really having faith in this roster.
I'm so happy you bring up the whole, like, the roster change that has to come face to
because I really think that the major run really, I mean, sure we cannot take any way
anything away from the fact that they actually managed to place a world.
But obviously now looking at face, how it's been before the major and now also after the major,
Things just, just really look up to be as a team that we think is going to go out and challenge the trophies.
And I think that the major results, I just did been dirty in the fact that now they are just denying and postponing the inevitable of having to make a rough change.
And I think, for face, they have some very interesting players.
I really like the core of specifically frozen twist, but also in some sort,
Carrigan.
I still have my doubts about Jacob.
I think Jacob did sure that he can play at a high level, but I'm so curious if it's going to be enough.
And the whole thing, having broke it go out, now bringing him back, is he going to be that
expected that we know he can be, can he continue being like that?
I still think it's a big question, Mark, and I think that face at someone has to
relive with that, that's the case for it. Give me as much as you're too sensitive, possible, Jail,
given your current situation. What do you think about this face roster? Do you think they should
have made changes and like to Priya saying, delayed the inevitable by that deep run at the
I mean, if you do need a replacement right here, no, I feel like the second place at the
major for sure did them dirty. I feel like this is a fun team to watch. They always make
it interesting, but it's just not enough to actually feel like they can win a tournament.
And yes, how should I put it?
Say it honestly. Say it for me to come take out.
It is an exciting thing for us.
I think you're right, they can be exciting to watch, but I want to go face us always
been even when you were at Koshinam Yankees.
Face has always been this team that has been picking up superstar, superstar, and they
were like this real Madrid of Congress, right there, we don't care too much about taxes
if you're just going for what's full individually.
Now that kind of turning to fuggins, right, but face us always had that kind of thing.
I'm just, I'm not feeling that anymore.
I'm not feeling that face is that team that everyone fears
at the team that can just go out and get everything done
with what they have.
It just seems like a team that is,
I wouldn't say I've lost their sort of thrive,
like they're striving how they wanna play,
but it just seems like people are not feeling face,
and face always play with that kind of team factor.
And I'm not feeling that anymore.
And also they had, I mean, the magic, right?
In the sense of face, even when they were the best team
in the world of 2022, right?
They were never clean.
They were never dominant. It was always through the lower bracket. It was always 3, 2, and 2, 1s, and whatnot, but they would get it done, right?
It wouldn't be pretty, but they would get it done. The players would step up. You have those crazy calling from Carrigan.
You have twists with a hammer. You have Brocky Popov, like, and have a crazy clout or a crazy multi-cale
right in a key round. And they've just lost that. And when you lose that, all that's left is the sort of
of shaky playstyle and unfortunately yes majors are the most important tournament of the season
but there's only one in the season and it's not an excuse for underperforming at the other
five or six tournaments right broken his prime was one of the most annoying players to ever play against
like he would miss an option and then he would chase him to take and he would come back swinging
with a techno and a dispatch at your first bullet. That's what he was good at. That's what made
him special. That's why he was someone lying to play against. And we've, I've also experienced
the receiving end of Brokey doing that kind of stuff. And you know he was going to
happen, but you didn't know he had the answer for it. Even though it was coming,
you would still get surprised in some sense, right? That's what made him that
expression. And I'm still a seed glimpse of that from Brokey. I definitely do. But
is Brokey still going to be that much of an accident that is going to change for
the better outcome of it. Is this like a composition issue of face or is this the
individual's maybe just being at a different point in that career? What do you think
the prime issue is think a little bit the individual is the other part of the whole broke
conversation is you know you look at how much space are the rifles taking before right when
you have a leash and rain on the team right like those are guys who are taking a lot of space
hang a lot of moves and frozen so broke he has to do a lot of supporting but he's more you know
he's gonna have a better time in the chaos and when he's in the thick of it so a little bit
on that side, I think he should be given more space now with Jacob in the team, right?
And I'm hoping that he would get that because Kagan was talking about how he liked the new
mentality from Brokey, how he improved a lot as a teammate, after getting benched, and that's
all great, but unless you also contribute in terms of the fracking and on the server,
you know, that there's going to have to be a time where they look at do we need to make a change.
How critical are we being of Jacob at the moment?
I think we always have to put the caveat,
like if you're given this goal
and opportunity of course you're taking it if you're Jacob.
We can all have our opinions of whether that was a correct position
for face to make.
Is he a liability for the team in your opinion?
From time to time, and I think that kind of sets the story for him.
I mean, in the beginning when he joined the team,
people weren't obviously he had some shoes to fill,
but he didn't really got into the groove at that point.
But I think he has some proof over the time.
I think of the major, he did have a better stand
and he is an industry player and he's always been praised at least for his former
teammates, but also the fact that believe it was Carrigan's girlfriend used to be working
with his XT-mas and I suppose I call this. So he's probably all seen some good things in him
and let's be honest, there's a reason why he was picked up to go to face and we've also heard
twist and we've heard more of his teammates' praising for his very high mechanical skill and
that is very much needed when you come into face, but one thing is making a count with
matters and I still think we need to see more and is he going to be a part of the next generation
of phase? That is my biggest question. I don't have a two-thing dribble and I hear someone
praising the player for their aim. I feel like that's the most overrated aspect of a player's
quality. 100% 100% like every single player has good aim. Maybe the aim can leaders
lack a little bit but you can aim any other player from a team and be like, yeah, it's a great
shooter but it's not something you should be remembered for. You should be remembered for being
with teammate, setting up your players, your team. When you get praised for your aim, I feel like
that's... They're running out of stone in your head.
Yeah, so you know what you got. It's like a number of situations where your aim is going to be
enough to bail you out of bad positioning or playing with knowing for is going to be so limited
and only happen a couple of times where it doesn't really make up for it.
in terms of maps and he surprises or who makes that to you.
I think it makes sense. I don't think either team is in a position to look too much at
punishing for BC game 2 keeping it simple, you know, with maps like that's too new,
the obvious of a place which fades picked, ancient in there, right? I don't think there's
a lot of choice for them in the matter, but the most important thing for them is if they
don't play from a head they're going to crumble. Like, you know, we had that one map against
legacy or the series against legacy, whatever, where they manage to come back, but outside
of that, it's been a lot of sort of what you're expected to see from this roster, in fighting
frustrations, face poms, eye rolling, size, passive aggressiveness, aggressive aggressiveness.
You know, so it's just too early for them if they are able, going to be able to make
this work, but yeah, still need more time.
You think this is over then?
DiPri, this is the last time we see BC game here in Cracker.
Unfortunately yes.
Well, let's see exactly how it is going to be going down three maps.
Potentially late in Wake Thus to Newt and Ancient if we do so require.
It's BC game versus phase with Harry and Hugo.
Down, down, but not out here in this lower bracket group stage match.
Phase BC game and all to play for in a elimination series.
it's a lower bracket run, it's a fight for survival and it's simple versus his former temporary team.
Yeah, I get to see him clash with Brokey as well. The man that he was filling in for
back at Austin in the battle of the coaching department, Taz versus Neo for survival in crack off.
I don't know, this one's got big stories all over it. We're starting things off here on
us too. You've seen BC game develop a bit of an affinity for this in spite of the early over
past starts back in stage one. I've started to like dust a lot more and they even had
vitality looking a little nervous on this map on the other day.
So only so there's only so many games you want to start to decide over past before you've had enough
cloud rely on an 112 comeback. It's really max made it an impossibility can face just get the job done.
It's simple to make first plug up on the short side double kill dodges that reflash great entries from simple in this pistol
Or does he have for us? It's only twists lying and making here
Simple will get cleaned up twists in with a double of his own and will leave phase
Spot where they can try and give this a go material is the nice the creep through this smoke
That's it out for frozen
Boxed in, as they've got long, they've got the site player up on short as well.
What's he supposed to do here?
I'm going to go looking, and they've actually given him a surprising amount of room.
Long swing comes in, there's the spot crazy.
But it keeps in contains, and that double from simple, not in vain.
No, no, no, no, no.
I think that's why I'm going to do it.
Take entries to kick it off, and a nice show in from Toys, but not enough.
Good to see BC game take a pistol, especially when you consider.
You know, in phase went on that major run, what was one of the best aspects for them.
It was the the pistol round.
It was Jacob specifically in the third stage of the major.
He was at one point the highest rate of pistol player even overdunk.
Eventually lost that stat.
But had some phenomenal pistol rounds for phase.
Desk very down on phase and understandably so with a dismal start of the year.
And that is often the phase where we talk about this team taking the longest route
to the playoffs, but right now we're not even talking about the playoffs for phase.
It's not even in the headlights, they are fighting at the bottom of the group to survive against
BC game of all teams. And so far and not being down on this squad, if they were to lose
today, that still feels like a long way away. BC game making this anti-Ecosimpal as
as a materialist and simple, collect all five between them.
Simpleness, B.C. games got some heat moments in the server, right?
It's clear that they're all very passionate about trying to make this work,
talking about the stress that came,
we're trying to get this roster on the same page,
the merging of the minds, different views on how the game should be played.
But I'll say this, I think, for the most part, they've been moving in the right direction,
the games, this deep in the tournament looking better.
And I know that's funny considering that that crazy comeback day one of stage one.
But the game they play versus Vitality on this map was some of their cleanest CS yet.
So let's see if that trend continues, phase by round in.
I see this, I really let it down.
So phase, these rounds are worth a lot.
Frozen coming through that mid to be smoke.
Bit of a block for phase, and that's called this off for BC Games, it will dead early.
They go back to B. Blocked all over the map here.
BC Games just trying to peel out a mid-round into like Cronacoo is found by Frozen, double
kill for him, just to be hit out desperation.
Oh, my les to this place, Jacob, he's going to get out with a dink, it's the quick
rotate.
A frozen that's meant to alleviate the pressure here.
The material is holds on for the rotates and frozen left scrapping up against this
back 10.
The material is gets hit, it's topping the charts right now.
Can't find anymore.
And they've traded places.
Crazy tries his hand at the plant, frozen.
Hoping he could faking out there with the steps.
So this back 10's going to hit hard.
He's been in a press to play as well for BC game.
Oh, and in this clutch, trying to deliver.
He gets well down low and twists a well finish what he started.
Ooh, it's the ammo really, the decider.
He can't just fall spray and pray with that macktani.
Lops, frozen's head off, but twists with a lot of wall bank damage.
They would have finished it with the pistol.
A reassuring round win for phase considering that was going very, very wrong.
Materies coming in with hot hands today, already multi kills into these rounds.
Still, phase on the board. We don't wait too long for that. Simple as orp as well coming into this gun round.
I'm going to try his hand at the B-Pickie at the spawn for it.
Bomb is very far out.
T-s little details right for a new team, especially a team like this, like leaving the
bomb on Muteris here.
We're going for lower.
There are things he can go wrong.
There are ways his round can completely unravel.
So we need to get regrouped with a squad and they do so in mid, we're at smoke and a gap
under the top, but just spamming through his frozen, he's already visible very low.
It's a port, no new be though, able to back all the way up and avoid those nades.
Those are the phase, try to capitalize on their damage.
Can't control to be taken.
Broken, no up yet, but it's got all the uter in the world trading out of twists in the
side.
That smacks left the face.
Oh, frozen.
Lockdown and CT, not info they have.
Oh, cash through on short.
And the one for twists and now phase hunker down 30 seconds.
That's it, Carrigan, backstab gets cleaned up, and now I just propelled them
following two players here for phase climb.
25, are they going to really back up or are they recommitting like his both players from phase
ready and waiting? Two rifles in this site, here to stop this hit.
Brokey goes unchecked, they allowed the swing out for a double, and you can see the stress
that an impotized simple, come to provide the clutch.
Keeps getting close in these clutch moments, there's simple, but get to walk on home for
BC game.
Phase gonna tie this game up early.
I mean, it was always gonna be a chaotic match right, not just because it's phase, but
because it's this messy BC game line up.
It's simple as well.
It's not gonna be the most clean counter strike played today, but Jacob at least puts
the round in for phase.
That's 2-1 B-1's picked up back to back for phase to break BC game's money.
Not quite the simple show.
Oh no.
I see that.
Hold your thought.
I love this move.
Drop down in the midi's trying to chase Brokey on this up.
We'll get punished.
Oh, relax.
That's a clock.
That's a clock besting, twist in the head to head.
Oh, you just don't mess this up.
Okay.
Good cover.
Those are going to go for the gun.
That's the only way you see game can make something happen.
And Carrigan runs away once that you keep it high economy round. This is crazy for brokeie, but he's gonna get away with their missed deeks from an electronic looking for a kill brokeie's not giving him enough
Oh my god, I am a fire here phase, and I get burned
What's what's it doing?
freaky up to
It's prop on right now
They're trying to find him.
So far.
Rainer up, brokees, concerts still can't hold his attention for more than a couple of seconds.
Shaking in the sight.
Yeah, he's still on.
I jump checked it.
I lost half my healthy still long.
I'm glad that we can still get these moments from simple, right?
We saw on the dust two against vitality.
There are a lot of missed shots from the scout with the orb.
And fill a shot that if they did connect,
This game would have had a really real fighting chance potentially taking that map.
So you're telling me there's a simple just killed more people. They have a better chance.
Well it certainly helps. But it's nice that you can still pull out moments like that running down
there with the Digo 5v4 and the phase get out with 3 alive. So money starts to build here on
the CT side after back to back 1v1s.
And this is one of those, you know, real matchups where everyone kind of has a point to prove
I think for
I think trying to get simple they felt that throughout but simple just because of his tied a phase in the Austin run
Brokey wants to try and show that he's the heavy here either
You know bringing him back him was the right choice and this was the guy they got to replace him at that major
to talk about the coaching staff as well, just a kind of general situation going on
on these teams with BC game, every game really mattering to keep their VRS shit-shake and
to face the team that as we heard from the desk, there's a lot of doubts on it.
We're going to show that the major wasn't a fluke.
Oh no, he goes back for more Cargon feeling the pressure to push up.
I don't want to get off the line, Rookie missed shot around Middleton.
It's not going to overcomend, the PC game sees the gap of Karagon along the Brokey and Mid.
They know this site is empty.
I'll take the space, the bomb is not theirs.
I'm still going to cross past Jacob, if you want to bring it into play.
And that's dealt with easily.
Be as now open.
The PC game is more options than they need.
But again, the flank, a second time around, avoided.
The phases are getting picked off right now.
right now we've got simple running for them and just like that a third round
signed sealed and delivered yes it's hands on the NAWP as well you know I
think with this BC game scots and I'm so honest with each other to a fault we've
seen some clashes mid games but one thing I'm liking to look off from
material is to open up on dust to playing with a just a bit more follow through in some of these
rounds right here in there leading the charge out through catwalk once they've pieced it together
I think at times kind of looked a little guilty of you know being fearful to do in the wrong thing
obviously hasn't had like incredibly commanding games who has never had jealous supposed to
Oh, Carrigan, here's them. They're in suicide holding on for it.
Save Darygon's life, all rather delayed his death, Carrigan connects.
This is supposed to have 195 damage in this round, Brokey, low to the tag.
Please, into the mid-smoke.
So what's truck this off?
Goes back for the AKM R, no no they're on pistols, they just want to poke in
prod.
PC game, no problem.
Zantico going swiftly in their favor.
Perfect NAY.
And nothing to be done here for phase as PC game take the lead on the T-S.
side. Always going to be on the out for that CT half because we still have vitality just
absolutely shredded through DC game on their T side of dust too.
Perhaps phase fans already feeling some fear.
I don't like simple nosey hip-hat, I think I've never seen a good read in the trance,
still holding on double on late, I hope flyers off though that's going to give the cool
to be see game. I know this warp is off the line. I can go out and take it.
Won't be easy for Carrigan here. Oh no.
Arigon call wide and he's done a lot of damage. You'd like to think that's enough for Carrigan
down in the pit.
Well, I've control taken, but block you till infa's as they trade places here.
The reaction is going to come over to Ward's short, so you're looking at crazy wondering if his
lurk down in the lower tunnels could yield anything for BC game.
He's been getting this info freeze up his team to speed up on this hit, so yeah to spot a
late peak might just catch Brokey scoped up, but crazy doesn't move, phase set the rise back
on the long position 35 seconds soon to be. It feels obvious where this one's ending up.
And now crazy starts to move.
Oh, my Terry's tries to cross on in.
The break on the smoke is very wild time.
They're catching the final second.
The crazy lurk actually heads out towards middle.
So you're never going to deal with this short threat.
That leaves just electronic pushing in alone.
Shrug it off.
And it's crazy makes his way over.
There is no saving this one.
It's one phase clan quick to level out and tie it up again as they shut down the long take.
See, Simples swap off his orb a lot feeling like he has to get involved in the pack right now.
Goes back to the AK, Brokey hit a nasty flick.
Which orb is flashier today?
So what I've said in the interview will see if it's BC Games Day.
To long back to Carrigan. Oh no, and they're coming in quickly but no swing from
Marigorn, he goes unpunished.
Rookie's all posted once again out towards shore,
just maintaining this control.
And it's a huge bit of pressure removed,
knowing that you've got a short in your pocket.
And you don't have to state the whole round
on fighting and dying for this long control.
Even in this towntime,
for instance, got them push through the tunnels.
And so they know that it is likely a five-man
and commit over here at long you've seen no one anywhere else on the map.
Did they realize they're already crossing our wrong making it inside of me?
You're just getting done to that info.
Goes to Carrigan, break off a smoke, he's getting involved, everyone on.
No flash.
And so no problem if a BC game, this orb is now forced to just perhaps jump shot,
brokeie.
This is desperation.
Oh no, brokeie is to jump shot.
Not like this isn't what he wanted to do. He hits it.
That comes in.
Need follows up.
Run.
Brokey damage ends up being valuable.
It's given the advantage to phase in this retake.
Right now they're locked out by smokes.
Kind of throwing an exec from shore trying to get themselves a little bit of leeway.
That's where Stimple springs to life.
Electronic up next.
Can't fully hold off the catwalk, frozen double kill.
and phase of making moves down a
material is out here along and the
bomb not planted for him. He's
already foregoing this round. There's
no winning this for the materials
and that's the cover. You ran back.
I mean, what's the comment here for
BC game? It's not for him. He runs away.
He has to get close. He has to take
that CT player out quick. But Miss
Communication, Miss understanding
whatever it is, a cost BC game, a
potential round. Simple as well. I mean,
a couple of nice shots, but
Could have picked his target there, coming out on CT side, CT spawn.
And so phase, despite some ludicrous moves with a jump shot.
Slow and steady on that retake, put it together.
Already hearing the inviting of PC game.
I like this, who was just a matter of time.
It's it's a fair enough round to feel frustrated and I'll say that much, you know, you kind of did all the work you get into good positions
It's just like you have to keep your head in the game and you know, maybe during the match
It's gonna be hard to
If every round comes with criticism
Save it for the bug review
This is a full-on B right now.
Why you put an attempt into condition phase to worry about long in these last few rounds?
That's so once again you fake-taking it early on.
Now the B-head leveled against phase-client and frozen, getting it to hold strong, gets
out with a double.
At least enough to keep phase in the conversation, but the re-take falls to them and they're
going ahead of this, playing through the smokes.
You're catch the brookie, bullsie, pink out the window, carigan blinds night, simple,
And what he is to finish the job on Muteris.
Alright, phase, willing to throw that life back into the round, just rushing through
the smoke, taking every risk, and there in BC games had there, and symbols had right now.
He threw the bomb in, like, I'm not part of this thing, and phase, fearless retake, don't even
let it go down.
No extra money, no chance.
It's all coming, I'm ravald.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's a very specific type of individual that could respond to this appropriately.
I think the worst possible outcome from it is that everyone starts overthinking their moves
and you're not dynamic, everyone's uncomfortable all the time.
Because you're constantly worried about doing the wrong thing.
They just let them sit in it now, pass it around, no moves, no one in middle.
Those and watchers from the doors knowing BC game run eco with no plants.
Twist waiting to spring the trap from Goose, BC game, just have to run in.
It's a good setup, a strong setup, but it's not going to falter, perfect, we're sold
on with four or brokeies just drawing all the attention, all the flack and phase of one out
on this CT half.
A beautiful setup, I mean, they phase know what they're up against, right?
Four eco, a couple of pistol upgrades, a BC game, have nothing to do with it, surprise
the lack of time out here in this TSI for BCM. This is not the half they were hoping for.
They got more done against team vitality.
Electronic has kind of been a non-factor.
We've had close rounds.
But nothing more.
Oh, the break broke you open for it, that's a catch-a-wif B.C. game, get up that.
This time, lurk is on the extremit is just to leave the options open for BC game.
Arigorn is going to leave, so expect this one to end up back at that B site, right?
they give up the long control they've fained catwalk.
From the god is that Karegan is about ready to call their bluff as his twist.
They're playing aggressive here.
On short and long.
And so you really hope that this be here comes soon before phase can get ahead of this.
Oh so much damage with a smoke frozen just deleted by moot here is like it's nothing yet a great position.
Jacob won for one has been struggling in this map.
And PC game have the bombsite with bombs down and lost round face half to try.
But first step is get through electronic on close.
I get this boost set up right there trying to offer electronic competitive assistance down here in middle.
Simple doesn't want to leave him hung out to dry all on his own and so one off the top of this boost.
There's the electronic plane that tag team and a carigan won't be full where they're all looking tunnels bound.
They've cleared out mid they know where he is.
Should be dead on this swing carigan quick work made over the first.
And you think it's the end of the line but he just keeps on going finally they bring him down
PCK managed something breaking that 4-round streak out of phase
But now they've got to struggle some half coming at them thick and fast
And an in-a-form phase plan to deal with
Yeah.
Oh my eyes!
Spend so much time looking at BC game in their situation, the phase running away with
the AND vibes looking good all kind of flew under the radar.
You've been a car there in those hectic moments, our phase.
I mean, it's nothing new to this team.
No, I think even in that documentary about the major run rate, you kind of see the
the feeling that the brotherhood vibes inside of phase clan extending all the way through
to their celebration and getting one round and not be fully embarrassed in the final.
Twist trawling the oh maybe?
Some pod just putting it all out there in this pistol.
4, 5-4, onto Frozen Sam's scoreline, back's out.
He's the only guy in the ASA right now, so we've got to be very careful trying to force
him into this B-split, but phase C is simple, and they come from twist it long, three players
upcats, simple on his own.
Oh dear, this smoke.
Not ideal, gives simple open sight lines, he's dealt with straight away, J.C.C.
delivers in this pistol round, it's quite of a slow start to this game, there in twist feels
no need to push the button, you can just hold right now, I'm going, as soon as he looks
away he's going to get shot in the back, pick your poison.
Alright good tap back for our go on, but now he's on that timer, twist gets activated,
the site players will get run down, and to twist is very, very late to the party here,
Long's not plotted for him, and with the team fuse being stuck, there's no world in which he can win it is one B3
Best later plans for phase clan, but in the end of the day it's getting about shooting people and BC game did it better
Yeah, five players with a frag there for BC game everyone pulls their weights
Storming up the ramp. I'm shocked. Haragorn gets that kill from the long side. Oh dear, Haragorn hit his head
Didn't seem to make a difference anyway, but
Bob not open, unwindable for twists.
This he can take a pistol on their difficult side.
Materia is still holding down top of the board.
Top of the entire server, in fact, shocking.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
Cargons push the long-smoke and found our reward.
Saving some trouble.
This is game after make out for a moving simple into car.
Crazy, therefore alone at the B site would no need in an MP9.
Can this be punished by phase on a full deagle round?
No smoke it makes this one very difficult for phase to convert.
But if they pick right and walk into B, four on one, and even then this site has been
conceded for the meantime.
They've got to play active.
They've got to clear something out.
Let's try and walk back, carry over the spots, they're coming out B.
I can go back and fight this lower player, you know the crazy's here. Lots of guns waiting for him.
Carigan can catch another at the chance that a best meter is still. They know this be
hold is just down the water like Tronic. Been pretty quiet in this game thus far.
As the hold the line only makes it out with one. The Jacob Eagle continues to deliver.
Quick attempt at the re-take. The Deeks are hitting the tier. This is the clutch up.
Only arm of the pistol he can't get it done!
There are shocked as we are face of no idea how they've won that round.
That miller second timing for Carrigan to spot crazy unravels everything for BC game.
5v3 look at this spot.
And that allowed everyone to fix a find the frag trade-out on B,
electronic which is the one kill against harmless players.
This was a disaster for BC game.
You can't lose a worse round.
It's here is a friend retaking with a pistol.
There's a friend looks for Taz and Neo at the end of that one.
Taz can't believe it because I could just said you couldn't have lost a worse round and he knows it.
There was any hope of coming back here very much hinged on getting these conversions.
Persians, those are your free rounds.
Here it gets to leave it with a rice smile,
feeling proud of the boys who pull in through
in a dire situation.
And now Brokey is catching them on the cross
to make matters worse.
Ouch.
Stird round up, and 5v4.
Cargan doesn't look concerned he needs to be there all in lower and short collapsing
together. Aragorn gets a one-four and they don't know. A Balmuteris, but if this goes
A, it will be avoided completely. I'm a B player's dead. Will that 10 phase back into
a trap? Or is it again the patience of phase that looks to pay off top mid player waiting?
Just simple fight for Frozen, and Ratera's won't take it, face speed up, they found the empty site,
and with that they're looking for a convert.
Alright, well that's what needed to happen, Stimple's the Eagle, joining up with
Muteris down there and lower, they gave themselves a couple more seconds, they could play that to the one together.
Let's see if it was worth it, Stimple, Spear heads this charge, he's got Muteris in behind him,
and a miss shot from the brokeie open.
Now the SMG's now the rifle all starts closing in.
Moutira is trying to pounce on twists in at the ramp.
Can't quite find his way around the smoke.
Tap on this bomb, simple feeling the pressure now.
Up over good for the first,
but there's no winning this anymore.
Twist's gonna take it to the clock.
And they're both gonna go down with this bomb.
It's a high damage round short.
At the end of the day, it's another one on the board at 4 phase clan as they move towards the finish line.
I'll take you right, phase early in this game. One a couple of classes we said are no money, they're not winning cleanly enough and then they just started storming together with clean round wins.
So I don't think phase or two barbed up on the lower economy early in the game, they're at her to be see game more than them.
9 to 6, 4 eco, simple to deal.
and face staring down 10 rounds.
Spits some robberies in this map.
Fades deagle, bug, burglars.
It's a little dead for us to get broken, getting a bolt of his A-B-U-P.
I'm trying to kill the flash for them with a U-TELL, pushes them away, and so,
Karigam, I just get the peeking in three USPs.
Flash needs to arrive, and he's dodged it with support for his team.
Every single player that's sure side gets to contribute gets to be involved.
on a double digits, Flash played anide, PC game, you're running out of chances on us too.
A floor of phase feels so much higher than PC games right now.
Better chemistry, better team play, slow and steady on this T side,
letting the rounds come to them. PC game have given them a lot of fights in this
start of the half. Now a gunrun comes in, PC game need to lock it down and try and play a late round.
And I've just walked into phases across as well, half.
Oh, what the heck?
Friesen, clearing, see them.
Just a really rough way for this to start, it might all be over.
So quickly you give away one kill and phase instantly turn up the heat.
Going quickly, material is boxed in, not long for this world, there's just too many players
prepared to deal with them.
And that was your rifle round.
That was what you meant to kind of stake your claim to dust two on and it gets ripped away from you one entry is all it takes for the round to come crumbling down a round BC game
So along with no support no utilities are very uncomfortable position, but
optimistic to think that phase won't clear their corners
BC game punished all over the map simple you definitely feel in like
He feels he needs to get involved and so doing things I'd act like I'm getting a box
is throwing himself into fights. It's just making the problem worse here. Faze feasting.
And look to take the guns with him if his people are inside. Two kills, that is not for
crazy. Faze find one more gun before all is said and done. 11 to 6. Lost the pistol
Round and just sweeping for an arrow.
Desperation for BC game one final force.
Brokey's just been hammered here in middle.
It's here to hit the tag back.
He's at least playing a good level in this one.
Yeah, I think one of the questions and some of these games is what if you got a bit more output from an unlike new tier is well here
He's still top of the board.
As everyone else.
Still top of this server, in fact.
And it's not enough.
So number seven, been the exact problem in this game.
Simple only good for one down here in lower puts that five seven to work.
Sure.
I've been doing a great job of trading simple, right?
There's been a lot of rounds where he's found five before.
You're one kill quickly in his position, but phase never let him re-position
Never let him get out
He's five to three and opening jewels
Aragon is zero and five
Trying with a very desperate play crossing out to the car
And with everyone else so low phase, they should really be no way you set a foot wrong in this three on two.
They've smoked the scout off.
Crazy out in the open, just scrapping, hoping you can get them all e-kill that wins you the round and it doesn't happen.
There's all these desperate grasp that the heroic play that saves the day, no one's been able to land it.
Oh, it's to be terrorists!
Oh, he's got it!
Maybe the least likely candidate material rises to the occasion, Maddie's play like a beast in this game.
Yeah, and they're not even celebrating. There was a half-hour Swiss bump at the end of that.
They don't even look like they believe in this comeback right now. It's only a four-round game.
Bang is shots for the captain of BC game.
I'm begrudging congratulations here.
As this game continues, I don't want to say the pipes seem to trust you, I just don't
convince you to talk about DC, this is such a hard tone, but if I infoscivable this
a lot on the line, I'd say they're still believe in Harry, but you know that wasn't
one B2 that keeps the whole game alive.
Sick.
I think it was a really, really nice clutch out of you, Terry's.
He would just like a well done man.
Something.
I'm trying to just glaze gloss over it, but.
All right.
And vibe at the end of that round was more like, yay, we get to keep playing.
Is that what we want?
Come on.
Give us something.
in the right place. Be hit brewing. Is it just the one and done show for
simple again so many times. Give us a multi kill. Well that won't make it super easy
for him. It's almost on the way. It just feels like a fake right now that five
players and tunnels simple doesn't believe it. Crazy tucked out of car.
Smokes are going to make it very clear what's going on. And they come be
be lining for crazy in at the car.
Hit the ag for simple comes in,
but a miss shot from him up in the window,
and the B-site falls straight away,
crazy the only man to get anything done in the hold,
boost up here.
It's awesome, Flobshobs from simple on this boost the other day.
Well, this time they've really got a count.
Wait in a see if he can get any time to contact.
Meanwhile, I'll aeragyl and squaring off
with Brokey back in the tunnels.
The guys at the door already trying to power through.
That's what material is an electronic brush this side.
It's simple up close.
Left it to chance on the new scope, and that's letting down.
Phase clan, they've got many opportunities
to end this one on Dust 2.
It's the battle of the captains right now.
Hi, Caragon, a material is top-fragging
for their respective teams.
Caragon with a big triple kill on entry closes that retake hours a shuffle through the door
And it is just looking lifeless now for BC game a
Time out from tads
I mean I've been to funerals that have been more of a laugh than this
Is at least you know, yeah, you it's just feeling a little rough in it
It's has got for us. Yeah, I mean they called him a vibes coach
Good luck!
You've got to be the best-down vibes coach this city's ever seen.
Silence for BC game has faze sit around away from taking
Our opponent's map pick in this series.
The series with a shot of adrenaline right up middle.
I'm just here.
Ready for this assist there early and a bit of chaos comes up the BC game.
Oh no, cover one lower, electronic needs that trade and he'll find it crazy.
Pushes the beast mode.
BC game.
Okay, I'll take round, frozen, might just save it.
Cache.
Can't make it the double, but you said this has been a captain's game.
Well, Carrigan's the one left in this clutch.
Let's see if it's brain can piece it together.
I mean, if it does, does he have the aim to back it up.
17 kills deep.
Make that 18 now.
As he's locked in this final, one V1 versus simple,
and he's just grabbed the spot there.
I don't see the Orbs one that's way in towards Top mid is
Carregard about to cut the head off the beast of BC game
Swings wide or could pull him in eights and IGL moment
But still him with a chance to make up for this
He's given a shot of redemption
Break on this smoke simple will find him clutch goes his way
BC game is still him with a chance
Three in game will you don't need to rewatch that round just to remember remind themselves. Why you just pull you gun out sometimes
One be one if he has his gun out on that suicide swing. He kills simple if he has his gun out when he swings mid he kills simple
But trying to do too much your character and it's had a great game
That's some high-frying moments that could have been the closer right then and there
Simple survives one more against the captain of phase
around where BC game just says screw it, pushing through the mid-smoke, pushing through the
beastmoke, and you're talking about the vibes of BC game, but for phases, it's still a little
tents in the sense that they know they need to win this game and they can't afford to
let BC game eliminate them from the tournament. That would just be a humiliating loss
to a phase when you consider coming off the back of a major final into a new year. Yes,
okay, an online loss to the eyeballers was a bit of a shock, but here on land in a lower
bracket, there's no excuses for phase. It shouldn't have to justify a loss in a match like this.
And so just trying to stay hyper-fixated on finishing their opponent's map with
full-more chances.
Jacob D-Glatt-Lower broke the orb, Cargon Holtz for a long push, simple opsat position.
I'm letting Brokey work.
Well, electronic, give him away in.
I'm just hoping that Brokey has given a chance to put this up to work.
That's not so much of the rounds, sent it around him, getting involved as a smoke in the way now.
So he takes his his moment to cool off.
The rest of phase group up over here in mid and the tunnels.
Maybe a B-split brewing as they can see the map control everywhere else.
He doesn't know how strong his spot was. He might just need to stay there, going mid with an MP9.
He feels like I'm very strange rotation right now.
The smokes coming over the top electronic sees it.
They know a player could be out mid, but the B hit coming in 20 seconds crazy. It's got to get something done flash to set him up
Good chunk of damage
Electronic head but a cover mid split still on the cards here, and it's carrying it closing the distance out through the window
Not even required not able to cut down anyone as they come through CT either
So three on three and the game resting on this round
round. Back to the boost. Maybe results here. If they did it. Rookie was holding for the
Vex Act boost he knows are they doing these postplants, phase up close, frozen waiting
they just come charging together. It's here is falls and it's not as simple one B2,
twist and broke he countdown and now swigging together. Phase cloud, it's doing this one
As a team, Karigan, leading the charge and leading by example, the rest of phase hanging
on his every word, the BC game, back to the drawing board.
They've got to hope that Nukes somehow looks better than they just do.
Or else they're time in the tour on their time.
In crack-off is over.
Simple sadly unable to come up clutch in the last round of phase.
Absolutely feasting on this opportunity.
Harry said it was a true team effort coming out of phase client today, which isn't always the case to bring when you'll be a game leader
You know to put up with my front scarring in this one here again
I had a really good show and he does occasionally have these games where he actually contributes in terms of firepower
He he says this and give you that this very notorious of taking a little space and sometimes things
Some quite interesting decisions and sometimes that pays off sometimes it doesn't this time
It definitely did, and it powered face to lead in the series that I don't think is
so let's be honest, that two big ups price.
How can 10-way you with the Brokey phone that we saw in this one, Jell, I know you said
that he's pretty formidable for us to face up against back in his prime, was this lead
you feeling content after that performance?
Oh yeah, of course, I mean, the opponent he faced were not the strongest, I feel like
this too was always up with Matt for Brokey.
So the real test I want to see is a Brokey or a new, that's where you really need, I'm
I don't know if I can turn the sun to what is doing to find the impact.
And also it felt like we looked a five stack, go up against, you know, a dual plus.
Yeah.
We are the guys queuing, you know, to some extent.
I mean, busy game just doesn't look like a team whatsoever.
And I'm not even talking about the counter strike, right?
Like even once they win some of the rounds, once they have some hype moments,
they're just sitting there.
It's actually painful to watch.
Yeah.
But the outside, and it's why I said before the first game,
And even like when Taz was sitting here after the ruin, it's like, why did you take the job?
Because you're standing behind them and it's like, there's nothing you can do.
There's no point in yelling nice and doing anything.
It's just like there's zero chemistry.
That's like a really good point, actually.
Considering the fact that they've made it to this very stage,
you know, you remember when we saw them really getting super excited,
it was after what was an unholy comeback versus legacy.
Right, like that's the only moment when we've really seen them coming alive.
It's a tricky one.
That's why we say if they're going to beat anyone,
it has to be playing from ahead and sort of stomping the game, snowballing the game, right?
Because it gets close in terms of losing close rounds, the frustration comes in, the
blame game starts and that's where any transfer winning ends.
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you mentioned it being tricky. I actually don't think it's very
tricky. I think they're killing themselves from within. And that's just like the, that's the
true, that's the true, true, true. I mean, like that's, you can just feel like even from watching
in the green one. You just feel like it's just so uncomfortable to be to be inside that team right now
and you you get blame for this and that and you just start making weird decisions because of that you
are afraid of making mistakes and you can't play couch. We'll get into some of the emotional angles
at any moment, but let's go back to some of the symptoms and the issues that we saw inside the
server. Round nine we can start off with a anchor. What were the problems? This is what the
pre was just mentioning because when frustration comes in that's when the way you
to play the game changes as well, right?
Like this is around, where they have long control,
right?
They throw back the mids, just to sort of keep phase occupied a little bit
and then they're going to go for that A-accute from long, right?
And Muteris, the first guy in, he's going to get the entry kill,
they get sort of good timing, maybe surprise, phase a little bit,
but how deep they are, okay?
And doesn't expect Muteris to already be on slow.
The bomb is going to go down and that's when things are going
to unravel really for BC game, right?
Good utility usage, electronic is going to have
a one for what trade here.
Simple is going to find the one kill.
But then after this, he's going to keep searching.
Though he has a teammate to a long,
who can play off of, like, this is where
you're taking matters into your own hands.
And then to end things,
Muteris got bad cons, he wanted to come closer
because he thought it was a bad plan.
And someone told him, no, it's planted with pit.
So he went back and someone corrected that.
and you obviously had no chance of winning the round,
but it's, you know, in these situations,
you also try to do too much,
and then you end up being one of the reasons
why the laws are round.
That must be so frustrating.
I'm sure you may have may not have been there.
Many moments to pre-when, it's just a little miscommunication
that kind of unravels the whole round.
And yeah, just not super synergized on the side of BC again.
Yeah, and it just comes down to details.
And I think communication is also just not really flowing inside.
One thing is the language barrier,
but maybe also just like the state of the team
that those small details where the bomb is planted
obviously costs around and it looks
with the way the Mutschers actually moves forward
that he's aware of the situation
he even has to smoke, try to get close,
but it's like someone is telling him
that he needs to go back and then he falls back
and then he starts looking like the fool, right?
Because then he realizes, it's not planning me
and then he just starts running with his head on his arm
and he just gets picked off, you know?
And that's always like these details
that gets missed or gets thrown out that it's not really picked up. That's what cost
around and I think they're busy game from that moment on. It haven't laid in the game as well.
They had so many of the situations happening for them and it's just clear that they can't
really string things together and it's it's painful to go. Yeah I totally agree with you because
that round that wasn't great. Round 14 that was the teller though. Oh my god there is just
no way you should be losing this series again. Yeah so that against an equal rights in
and Carrigan, who we already said had a great game finds a good entry, sneaking out, gets
airborne and then in a four-we-five situation, he also spotted crazy from top mid, that's why
everyone's sitting there waiting for him. So in that five-we-three now, four-we-three in the numbers
advantage, let's probably just get blinded here, doesn't get more than one, and in the two-we-three
phase is able to close it out and I mean, again, with some momentum, maybe BC game, right?
Like we've seen it happen, but this just kills all momentum, they put it what and then you kind of felt it was all
where after this.
And if there's a builder, then this will tell you.
Yeah.
I mean, Ron, now is one thing.
This is one of the y'all that you cannot afford to lose because this was supposed to be free
and the decision making my part is also one thing is that crazy gets part of that, that's kind of unfortunate, right?
but the fact that electronic block people smoke
and he still decides to push you know,
that should be like the key moment
thinking that he should just talk a lower
and keep them based.
But yeah, that didn't build a turn around.
I give probably been in a situation
like this before where you lose round day,
you're not supposed to lose.
How does that affect you?
I mean, first of all, there's a lot of silence
and then afterwards,
these rounds will happen inevitably
and deferred down the game, like down some rounds,
But at least the most worst thing you can do is just sit in silence and let it simmer.
Just say it's alright, whatever happened.
They won't bounce like this as well.
You can not just focus on that round that you were supposed to win.
Just continue next but as we saw they didn't continue next.
Yeah, unfortunately no.
I can only imagine what BC game was saying after that round but let's check in with
the Faze team com to see what happened during round 14.
I'll step on blue.
Once you close the tunnels.
I'll step now so they can move.
One is like a new one.
For sure you hit the step.
Let's get ready to keep the details.
It's really important.
You know, I'll follow you here or we'll be quick.
Ready?
I'll be quick.
Okay.
Let me cut to my butt.
Okay, I'm gonna just be.
Ah, I'm so fucking injured.
If you ever heard a car going around,
that is the most car going around,
I've heard it in a long time.
But the way that Cargan sets up this round
is literally just to fight that,
hey, I'm gonna be stepping behind Blue's wheel,
you can hear me, like, he's always trying to find
that genius kind of deets at a wave.
He thinks he's a genius.
I don't know if this is actually,
like the reason why they push me about him,
I'm not confident that that's why they're pushing.
But it is so caring to find these small,
way sounds like a super genius.
Yeah, that was great to get a little bit inside with that one as well.
Now, we do have to run round 18.
Well, we should in theory be praising Muteris.
But I guess we want to play a nasty game of what happens after that.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, 116, you know, you feel like it's kind of over.
He out of nowhere comes up with the round comes up with the clutch.
Should be hyped, sick rounds.
Look at them.
Oh, look at them.
I mean, I mean, you lost around.
I think this is maybe well, he was still playing because you can see him playing.
But even Muterius after winning the round,
he still just has sort of no change,
like no hype, no nothing, right?
Like it doesn't look like anyone really wants to be there anymore.
And if you don't have that,
if you don't have that togetherness,
if you don't wanna do it for your teammate,
as much as you wanna do it for yourself,
you're not gonna find success at this level of play,
just simple as that.
I don't imagine you've been that person in the moment, Jail,
But how to in would that be to have a teammate be like that?
To be honest, I'm shell-shocked.
I'm on a...
If you think even the context of the round that you showed me those face-lamps, not in a million years,
I would think they won their own.
Like...
It looks awful, awful.
I wanted to speak about their maps,
but I don't think it's the maps I have to speak about.
It's funny because people used to call out your Navi team,
even after you left, and even while you were there,
because you guys could get heated with each other, right?
But I always thought that was overblown because it's fine if you're all on that wavelength
Like if you're okay with people talking a little bit of shit to each other and like sort of criticizing and saying something directly during the game
That's okay. He's everyone's on the same page
But if you're just burating your teammate for no reason like you're not giving him anything
You're just sort of harassing and pointing out his mistakes and like you're not just gonna change
He's not gonna play better off of that. This is not the moment to teach people stuff like you know
if you need to, then a little bit by saying something okay, but this is not that.
No, you mentioned it before, jealous. Like having constructive criticism, sure. Just having
full tilt like no emotion. Absolutely all over the server. I mean, it seems like it's
going to be GG for BC game. Do you think that coming into the second map as well?
Oh, yeah, 100%. I don't know what has to happen for a BC game to actually come back
into the game. You might have to win the pistol. They're answering the next full
by the next five or five.
There are up 11-0, I missed a cap and said 11-1.
And then we're good to think about it here's come down.
You might be on to something there, Joe.
We do have to wait for a quick break
before the action resumes once more.
Unfortunately for BC game,
they are staring elimination square in the face.
It comes down to phases quick of Nuke.
Come up and just assure you.
The
Hi, this is basement dwellers first, advertisement and our second drop is it's up, actually,
If you're seeing this, it's up to be able to block the ESL shop.
Had a first go at a jacket and a really crowded it,
I've always had an interesting clothes, but you know, seeing the behind the scenes,
how the sausage is made, it's been a lot of fun.
And if you'd like the clothes, tell me, if you hate the clothes, tell me,
but try them before it's like them, or I think they really don't think.
So yeah, that's my advert. I'm going to try again.
I'm going to record another one.
Listen up, Peter. You're a totally out of control.
Come on, what the fuck up?
Locking.
Nice, let's stay motivated.
I don't know what I expected.
They're fucking aimers.
Excellent, this guy's here to calm down.
This is your one week warning.
This is not 3-3 minutes.
Focus.
Calma boys, you got this.
Bro, do you know what I'm talking about?
Do you still go on?
I'll be right back.
We'll see if we're gonna talk straight.
Hey, hey!
Zay, we're number one.
But you're taking it too far.
But I need you to ground. Stop losing on this man.
You ain't got the ground, you've got the ground. You're so bad.
Come to Portugal, get a turn and shit off a cup.
Why are you holding me? Everyone else?
I mean, there is a power cut.
Everything makes fun of me.
Are you sure? Because if I turn, he's just going to get a from the server.
Well, why they say fuck me for?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So sorry guys.
Hey, it is.
One second.
So sexy.
I have glass-like in TIP, okay?
It is an exhaustive on contract.
Can we sell it for one of this to vote?
C'mon.
Wait, what would I do?
Hey, I'm ready, baby.
Guys, what am I missing?
You've been seeing it?
Look at this, oh my god.
I'm leaving crawling.
Just to feel it.
Never again, but never again.
There we go.
Hey, get the horse together straight up.
Better jump.
Where's the rope?
I don't know the rules.
And then we end up in a different house.
Yeah.
Everything.
Don't even smoke.
I can see it.
which is not like it.
Not last, I'm talking about Jacob.
He's out of control.
I have to not talk to him about the goat.
He actually belongs to it.
That is it.
Thank you, guys.
Yeah, now he's running a bit of roles
who are playing to admins.
It's never his fault, such a diva.
That was the EU come from though, didn't you get like verticals on four maps and we're
going final?
Now has these ridiculous contract demands.
Guys, this is any fucking fantastic, it just needs to work on his game sense.
Renate with a little conversation.
You cannot even go to a proper interview.
Man, just giving what the fuck you want.
Bro, it's just gonna make everything worse.
Right. How bad could it be?
All right, we're heading onto the new Kia Phase Clan.
map away from getting to survive and putting a stop to the BC game run. It's the last chance
And if I were to hazard a guess maybe the last time we see this BC game roster in this iteration
Oh, you're making a statement coming straight in. How do you know things didn't feel great?
Remember there's a VRS core and it's all Portuguese keep that in mind before you proceed
You call this a BC game run. I call it a stumble
Just trying to survive here in this second map
You know, looking for a vibe merchant.
I'd love to buy.
Now we're going, door barat is up close.
Good double kill to start things off.
While he's gonna deny this retaking through heaven,
like this, he game a hoping for,
and that gives phase the room to get the bomb planted.
Good pause from Brokey here,
coming out from the heaven though, everybody.
Simple checks flank,
and he just missed the time in Carrigan coming in late on rap,
maybe too late though.
As phase move in,
well this PC game drop in brokeie waiting for the time to strike for players on his screen.
Here's everyone's dropped into the site. He takes two. Maybe a third final bullet.
We load up and this team here for support simplest. Two firegun is brokeie with the ace.
No, I'm trapped with two ships. What up mate?
Hiding out in plain sight.
Oh no man you can't start like this!
Simply you're a place Tim!
What if the real simple is the brookies we made along the way?
I'm broke, he breaks, simple, and the pistol.
Outside smokes now in, simple is just going to play right through them.
I think they know nothing to lose.
Actually now that just slowing down here, it's a simple could be a bit of a nasty surprise,
but the check is ready to come through, but it's worse.
It doesn't even get to fire a bullet, it's two quick kills.
And I just phased to just wrap this one up, 5 on 3.
I don't say.
Looking to make a mistake, or hiding out waiting for any recommence, and there's BC game
gamble on low earth. If they use move in, they have the hall map to play with.
Here, Harry, I would trust phase.
Yeah, the rapid out. Oh, exactly. They've not gonna jump the gun in a 5 on 3. They keep it diligent. They go take heaven
The best postplan out here on the top site and you know you've won the round
I'll save your S and G's and give it another go
So...
It's only one of the more unique feeling games here in Crack Up.
It's total whiplash.
I think at this point you just can have to hope it becomes a bit of a game of individuals for BC game
because with SQL highlighting how just nothing, nothing felt right, nothing looked right.
The energy being off, in fact that the team feels a little divided.
They're not on the same page.
This here has got a 1v2 clutch and simple didn't even look at him, he can first bump him, he didn't even acknowledge it.
It's be honest.
Save to say, not all mates.
There is still a game being played out inside the server, but it feels like a really hard
one to mess up at this point.
I'm usually carrying the type of leader who tries to get in his opponent's head a bit, and he doesn't really have to leave.
You know, he can just manage his own team, and he's the game we're doing the rest.
Yeah, they're just carrying him, hasn't done any smack talk in this much.
Oh, if anything, I think actually he's been going a bit like leading into the celebratory angle, because it's like, look at how much fun we're having.
Are you guys having fun and you know there's nothing like talking smack in the coming back and hitting you in the face now
I think face I've their own things to deal with right now trying to get back to major form
To a stack here
All right, and to Caragon, we'll call by Heaven as well.
He will get swarmed, ran through, and so phase have to react quickly.
They made the decision to drop down low.
I get away from this stack, that's taking shape out and out and out, and hell.
On falls in towed out and lower, and you've got only a few seconds to get comfortable
Here, Ray Rote for Twist now, because if they stay topside, they'd be skimmed, get
a pout on them from all positions now, they'd force that ramp through one choke point,
three guns looking their way, phase with just tear through them.
Simple 1v2 can't take a single shot.
He's cracked into the bomb side, but no kills available right now.
Hoping for a mistake that will not appear, phase tucked into position.
Let's see that frozen.
It's a bit shards and simple one B-1-4 bullets.
Office for the pistol.
Runs away, but there is no time for this round if he knows it.
Bokeys secures a third.
Phase essentially, a 3-on-5.
And they pick it up.
Fennel rotate makes all the difference there.
No, I'm scared.
I'm going to go on once more, ever offer some former resistance, again a double kill in
the pistol.
It wasn't enough.
Surely he will be here crazy, out of ram blips up to his half of the bargain as well.
So we're left looking and say in Brokey, you can have to get us another race.
Oh, he's up against a three best friends.
It's not down Brokey shifts in.
So a few weeks ago, I'll give him a map, but it does provide a bit of cover on the plong. Interesting.
Oh, god, they're also nervous.
They're so nervous. It's fine, surely. It's one guy, Brokey already has a race.
He has a base in this map already.
So I get to the spot off,
take simple moving and a stop in.
And oh, we were scared.
We were nervous, but BC gave a will stop him.
To be fair, material is should not be going there, right?
Three on one, like you're already in a bit of a calamity of around.
You've had your two anchor players get a double kill.
Just wait for your team.
Let's say there could be some reason why my theories is doubting his read on the game a little I can't quite get my finger on it, Harry
Maybe it's a season maybe it's the weather maybe it's the moons
Oh, I liked it.
Falling off the run boost, simple plus is back at our edge and Rookie has his all.
Well earned, I'd say.
Found good start to the game for Brokey 10 and 1.
Even those couple of kills on the way out for broken being the around when here would
Put BC games money on notice
Trying to make it across simple waiting in the back of garage
And it's clear that that down to be involved here, he's got my theories and electronic
nearby to lend the helping hand. Flash plate. And I want scales with it just to try and
bait shots out from a garage player. It's Jacob I flew around the main smoke trying to hop
on through my theories his eyes on. Simple up next. Missed opportunity to find
Karigan goes back for it in second times the charm.
Simple starts taking heads off out in the yard, broke you with the response, but
I said it's already, they would need another Aston Brokey.
Obsecured here for Simple, couple of nice shots at him with the AK, and PC game survived
with good economy.
Good sign, early in the city side now, what in Simple's prime, right?
I think this was his best half of Counter Strike City Side Nuke playing rotation on the
orb.
He was everywhere.
He had such a good read of the game, but here is, I like that energy.
This PC game of nothing did do, but try here and upset phase on phase as map pick.
So good to see, symborn and orb trying to get involved, throwing himself into the conversation.
He's going to start ramping this round, freeing up his rifle's outside, but phase of only
pistols. Maybe they'll come
simply as way after all. He is
very committed. Crazy here to help.
I mean, certainly the actor's been
talking about on the desk is the
idea that a piece of game
got a win matches. It's got to be
snowballing, right? Just a lot of
success kind of following each other.
That's going to bring you back into
the game. Winning just feels good.
And so the individual form starts to
step up a bit. They can put their
differences from that first map
aside and start to focus on this one.
We'll tap back for Frozen, but you're not getting through this ramp hold anytime soon.
BC game will tie things up.
Nice clean, easy on the ante and now the bike comes out.
Big bifur phase to break that momentum and break that mood if they can.
Because we see a game of build a bit of money in these last couple with four players surviving.
Our fast gameplay was certainly on the cards there for phase-clank getting posthured for it, even at twists ready to drop on down.
down and he might still get to make his play. Tap on a simple 5B4 secured. You think why
bother following through? We've got all this space outside now.
I'm both end, this is a crazy gamble for BC game. I'm gonna have to play aggressive and move
up through secret. Triple vent, what are we doing? I've never seen this. Three vent is belief.
beyond it. They can't sit still here, not forever. You almost feel like you have to make
a play kill. Death doesn't matter. You've got to move forward and so a trade comes in.
Phase now know the A side weakened. Can they take that space? Twist is up heaven.
Our agorn is not on the site. This is a retake. From B, phase are in heaven.
And just becomes a very hard round to lose now for phase clan.
and gifted the A site gifted the wrap round.
I'm very surprised they went for a triple secret.
Maybe film like they just have to make a gamble.
And nail it.
it. Let's face how to all the room outside. I think it's you know a bit of a
shank because it ends up looking silly but I you know for the
mutaries and the the sore core. Nuke was always a cornerstone map of
this team. I actually think they had some really cool ideas for how to play
it back in that sore roster and it actually did feature a lot of wild rotates
around the vent. They played a very mobile CT side, very mobile T side, a lot of it
about these gambling stack rotates where you try and make plays to the round there.
Doesn't feel actually too far apart from the old, like, sword DNA for how they used to approach
this. It's just versus, you know, phase clan here where you're lacking some of that speed
and tenacity on the rotates. If the gaps left open for even a second too long, phase
These are gonna find it.
They have multiple times up heaven here in this match.
Simple in the vent of the orb.
Late smokes coming down in the face there or also outside.
They smoked down, suppose got another job to do, away from the vents back to secret.
If you go over, you know, Miter is his time in that old saw roster.
While he was there at the helm, it was their most played map and their highest win rate
by a 100 maps played over the next closest.
Oh, the quick switch in the corner, frozen brazer, has a price.
Little walk through the smoke for electronic and he just gets away with it.
Absolutely murder.
Phase half to hit this top side. They're coming through the main smoke now. Bombs is late.
No one's watching Jake walks in. Could have been a double.
Exit getting rolled out through the door, carrying it.
And survive down into the vents.
Bombs does get down there, but that's a problem for phase climb.
Brokey burns one out, but can they get Taggo with here as they crunch upon the lobby?
And only twists left one before, bomb down at B and 15 seconds, not even a magician can make magic happen here.
It's the end of the light for all mate Twist, as Buterius finds it out.
We're very weird round here, coming down from a gamble on B2, just a smoke push and frozen getting quick switch timing.
trying to put a double take and get back even though phase make the
regretter for a moment with Jake walking out door heat or high he needed a double
kill to even entice phase back in there were two out of position to make that
round happen
well phase trying to do too much on this T side
We had a way, I feel like phase makes sell and around like this with 2 tech 9s and 3
AKs.
Perhaps some pace behind it could be a nice injection to that side.
more explosive, but BC gave it have to communicate very well.
Yeah, sadly one of the things you've been able to exploit in this series, and so an
up tempo round, let's see how they deal with it.
You tell Ian, electronic out with the first, it's quick trade, a swift trade, on these
door players.
Aragon being good for doubles in these eight holes this time, not a requirement as
This material comes to his aid!
Carrigan.
Oh, crazy, I think he just got that spot.
It looked like it was on the mini map,
because he can't quite figure out where Carrigan actually is.
And that could lead to some weirdness happening.
He suddenly looked so worried about hell about it.
The scale couldn't really piece together.
What he just noticed, but knows he's seen something still,
Carrigan gets to play a fool in my face.
That gun falls down and he just lost it off goes hunting with the tech nine beautiful shot from Carrigan and
the three Portuguese players crumble you could see the crazy saw something about it had to be a mini map spot on Carrigan
Because he suddenly got so paranoid and then I think he in thought he just cleared everything
I'm interested so much man that double kill you saw they just won that round
The one that you said was gonna be tricky to deal with you are a little bit nervous in and it wasn't down in the pace
It wasn't down in the chaos just the good timing from Carrigan out to heaven
They're able to just find a gap in a mid-round and exploited to the end degree.
Roundly now, restless economy.
Whoever loses his plunge into an eco.
Let's see, spotted on his vehicle might just have to surrender the position but there's
no one fast rotation.
This leaves gaps open again, the triple gamble hole, look at this, before they even lose
ramp they are 3 lower, they get a play active here, this is not easy, coming back up
this ramp position, phase gonna find good headshot angles, but phase are walking hell, and
so you know what, it might just work out.
You can look at this. The ramp players will catch the pushing a hell and so electronic will get eyes on in time
It's the more of this, you know, highly mobile CT side that you've come to expect from retirees on this map
I kind of love that one. I have to say credit to him
I think it'd been so easy to kind of come into this one writing off this series a little bit in your head
But he's calling his his own game the way likes to play
It's one where they just have a lot more reps in recent memory than simple and electronics
So you kind of have to trust him.
You kind of have to defer to the sore core on this one.
And not letting them down right now.
That was the difference here.
It's lost and they just went triple vent off of losing
outside control and just sat still.
This time at least they play active.
They clear a new position.
They come back up, rap.
They find phase of course, perfectly walking to hell
with three or four players.
As I like trying to hype up the gang as well.
Dude, are they back?
They actually could be.
It does feel like they're back.
He starts going to be really hard though.
And dude, I mean, it's a bit of a part of all of these plays.
He's been in with the pack, you know,
calling with the rest of the team very much feels like they're actually letting us
some room to play in this one phase.
They're my still be twisted turns left in this series after all.
The fight has come through here.
That's for the fight for phase twists and solo.
Okay, they've won this round already, but that's going to be a nice start for
material.
Again, good information outside.
Materialists doesn't overplay.
5 before I impose simple catches brooky crossing, phase falling on their face, material
drops that rifle in no man's land, and so 25 sure the vent might give a bit of room
hit a frozen but simple as inside of B, this will come as no surprise now.
he's supporting and they know at least one is down here.
They heard some through that name, they know it's dark.
It's basically slowly in and meet their makeup, crazy with a double BC game, even half.
I'm liking this a lot more, like in this a lot more, just kind of works, you know the idea
you have the three Portuguese guys saying the tone of the round playing together
for simple and electronic, it's you know, a mission of come along if you want,
if not, just hold your own spot, do your own job.
And anyway, it looks like everyone's coming off better for it.
Yeah, I'm going about phase a bit, but I think I'll see that second half, they're going to throw
themselves back in the ring one more time. I'll try to cut the hell off.
Like it's a bug. Like it's a bug. He just walked right by phase
They have no idea how is he here?
It's just for his little tick-tock account man. Look at him go electronic with one hell of a move
It's supposed to anyone ram
They're gonna try and run down crazy. Well struggled the whole dawn as he gets over ram, but still
Sure, they have ram
Only vulnerability a bit leads from that as long an hour going's already down there. You've got them boxed in right now
I'm like, look up, watch out, he was on the roof.
Come on back to try and re-clear the lobby.
It's a tooltask, especially when you know that electronic was up on the roof.
He's since departed, playing at safe, back of a site.
Support nearby in the form of simple as well, the Orps.
Strikes one off the tally, and the overt your eyes.
Cause Bicygame comes through with a winning CT half collecting themselves
In time for Nuke, phase there's still more of a challenge.
I just want to think more than me
When you come around
My heart is personal
I don't want to be strangers in these
Because of you, life is endless
I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear
I push the button flying
I saw a certain hardest days
When the love can't bring me face to face
I swear I saw your eyes
I've got to come, you have found that I can't taste
When the love can't bring me face to face with you
I don't wanna be alien to you, I swear I saw that I knew I pushed the...
BC game against all odds actually put out a winning half.
Things looked pretty dire at the end of Dust 2,
a new map, a change of scenery, a breath of fresh air inside of the roster.
Materials call in some good rounds, staying true to his sore self, back from the old days
and how this crew used to roll on Nuke, phase now move over to the CT side, though, and this
is going to be your big challenge, trying to get everything aligning, T-side of Nuke.
We'll get a damn sight easier with the pistol, and see what Materials has got for us.
A very hard series to characterize here. I don't know what this would say about face to fall with this map after the way that a
Shredded BC game on dust too
The question is how deep is this T side for BC games and what's between 50 sure it off on dust
Comes out across is in this one as well face go on the space it's only twist and lower a lot of space being gifted over
can twist off them as he gets trapped inside of these boys.
Muteris and simple run them down, side by side,
broke here in the bomb site, but they want nothing to do with this.
They're going right back up the tent.
So classic Muteris, up through the vent, last second rotate,
and he's completely dodged the phased clan stack.
This is like the saw we saw in Colone, the very saw team that beat
Caragon in the playoffs.
This, calling rings around him.
Cargons running in circles, electronic backstab goodbye, his pistol is B.C. games.
It really feels like here on the second map, keys to the car have been fully given to
Muteris and he's allowed to drive it wherever he wants.
Remember, he wants.
Simple Ghost Searching.
We'll be found by Jacob who's had a rough series.
Didn't really feel like it mattered in that first map, but now it's subtly.
It's going to be called into question here on the CT side of Nugas, BC game, Surge ahead, a pistol, after a winning half.
Faces for your lifeless has not been a moment from an individual.
There's not been a player to believe in in this game, Brokey is 14 and 7, you would barely know it.
Because he went 10 and 1 with an ace in the pistol, those first few rounds were immaculate,
and he has had not a single teammate to rely on in this battle.
Jacob frozen Caragon 4-4-3 kills on the trio.
The
C-game calling from the front, go fast outside.
You would have literally talking in the break about some of the
Mootir is vent, calls on this map, the faculty brings one through straight away, and the pistol is a very promising size.
Just crazy, you get all the space on B from, remember you got outside and ramp, you've cleared everything, you've cleared B, you've killed the B guy, and you still end day.
So of noxious, it's the last thing phase are ready for and this is where phase are kind of getting the opposite end of the
Men only were talking about from BC again. You thought you were gonna comfortably walk through this team with no issue now
They're actually fighting back
You've got a dig deep and I wouldn't even say that it's like oh BC game is just playing like they don't care anymore
They're just just running around and they're catching phase off guard like BC game are playing structured
They're doing wacky things, but they're doing it together right now. They're up believing in this match
What even it just feels like they're actually united under one banner right now, and it is just
Muteris fully in control.
Okay, Nave is nice.
Oh no, it's not, that is wrong.
Bro, you can't find the gap behind that smoke.
Caragon looks to punish back on a site, but crazy hold onto his position, simple is going hunting.
They've called the save when we'll simply realize they're going to walk away and be
he came, converting on that pistol.
Just like that, it's 9 to 5 and phase it up and need to do work on this CT side.
It's weird.
It's the word ancient really going to have to leave my mouth for third map of this series.
Even the whole, you know, converting on the pistol is a big deal for BC game.
They have the worst conversion in those second round of all the teams in crack-off.
And so that's even a departure from the expectation.
They've so often let those rounds get away from them, but not here.
A lip game for phase, a couple of diggles, and BC game.
If you are believing, if you're listening to Miserys right now, he's going to call some nice
patterns at the start of this T side, a fast B play, a couple of them, now slow and
the sila behind the smokes, they make it down, face have no idea, face can't afford to
believe that the entirety of BC game have pushed behind these smokes, and out did offer
this bebombsite. BC game trust their re they can walk in. If they're overcook and
got up the vents that's when they can go very wrong. But you see even though material
is likes to use these vents.
Well, usually only do it when there's a proper purpose to it.
And here it looks like it is just the follow through into lower.
Execute the side.
Use your utel.
I'm not sure around.
It really does seem like they went away in between them.
Apps and said, look, we need to know who's in charge.
And I don't know who said it, whether it's Taz,
whether it's material itself.
But it looks like he has been put as the man in control.
And everyone else is hanging on his every word. This is a very very nice look from BC game
I did not think they had this in them after that first map
It felt like it was the closest we've come to seeing a team this band live
While this what the game is still on
Yeah, I'd love to know if it was you know Taz taking simple away and then talking to him after that first map
Well, I think it's a credit to electronic man
He's been trying to mend the wounds a little you've seen him hype and up the gang
He's also been the one linking up with the the saw trio and a lot of these plays
You know, it's no getting away from the reputation that electronic built up
Hooks that time and now the bottle folks looking on him unfavorably as somebody bought down a lot of teams
But here feels like he was the guy trying to mend some bridges in this matchup
All right, and he's he game now double digits by round for phase clan things are getting serious here phase
This might be about to go three maps and no one saw that coming.
Yeah, I'm facing you here. Now knock knock hello. It's 10-5. We've got three players who have barely killed anyone in this entire map.
Broke you went 10 and one. He's gone cold since there's been nothing to talk about in the face camp.
There's been nothing. It's now or it's never.
Ancient is our Decider.
Confased for back and one of their best maps historically. On the map they took over team vitality in a major final.
Or they just getting rings run around them again, another smoke cross-to-secret frozen
dispatches to pass down to their be-bombsite, paranoid, and it might just be another round,
where BC game, commit to the call and go out B, this just comes down to frozen multi-kill
or bust.
I don't want his position to assist right now.
If he's doing nothing on the map, they are hoping this break comes a.
Oh, I feel like this is going up the vent.
No?
I do do.
I can take him to the diligence of clearing the site.
And now they know about Frozen.
They try and charge him down.
Needed a multi kill.
Two will do to at least keep this competitive.
But there's still a bomb plant here for BC game.
Electronic goes and fetches that AWP for simple make sure you make him comfortable in this post-plumber
Because this duo I've got to see it through to the very end
I've got a glow stick from the rifle he trusts in Sasha to get it over the line and let Tracks spotted
Pulse back
Wait for the fight to come his way simple
Feld and twist Nade connects as BC game do fall in that post-plar
Love clear it out phase know what they're up against
Flushing arrow going out of the lobby and ending it on that be bombsite. Well put together for phase a much needy round in a dire game
For phase cloud
Frozen big double in defense. Yeah, well absolutely huge
Has multiple players flooding out to try and deal with it
That's a the fact that even you know makes that interesting the whole reason they're able to justify giving that
Look in the reason they're over to justify hanging around in the lobby
It's because of that frozen molly kill.
Phase cross that round and keep believing.
See how much the one missed step will shake BC game as well, right, because they've been
on a hot streak, sticks around in a row just came to an end, right there, back to the
the yard cross again.
It here has been calling this every single time.
And he's feel like they've finally got answers to it, but talk about it already.
It here is like a mobile tea site.
And so right when you think you made the right adjustment, he can try and use that against you.
Sash of minds here, right?
We said map home as a captain's game because they were both putting up crazy numbers.
or this one still is, it's a battle of brains,
Carrigan vs. Muthiris, in peace in these rounds together.
We're just going to keep all of this one till it comes through.
Let's get's push back by Mawatov. He's at a U-Till.
He's at a commission, place inside of B.
Back up in the raft, there's where Frozen just got two twists,
looks to replicate.
Different tiers, there's no broken on rotation, not yet,
at least he has stuck back on the A-side, twists alone,
and he needs to provide.
The war swings wide, frozen last time ever to get a double from here, to a still a threat
will get twelve, simple gets past them.
Bomber high in the open, electronic goes to retrieve, simple tries to cover, low on
health, hard to hit that clean, he picks it up, arrogance lag nets them another, and simply
even fain and a full bag just to die on a full, PC game, eating good right now, and simple
Don't want that AWP, he's like in the rifle.
Now, hybrid mode on this, it's he's side.
BC game, just calling, could constant beheads walking behind his smokes, unbothered.
And now they feel like the table of a sudden.
Just unreal though, it'd be wanting if this was the dawn of the series,
but after a map that just felt like this team was collapsing it.
As separate and now as well, ever seen anything like it, resilience, recovery.
And now face his money, shaky, and what could be the end of Nuke?
I cannot believe this game is potentially going into a three-mapah.
Phase one this map.
So many times in the major.
Sure, they got bash by 3D max coming into the season.
Here on Nuke, but back in Boota Pass, beating Vitality on a twice.
Heading mouse, beating Navi, a five-wind streak, seven out of eight times.
Well, in these kind of awkward e-commerce, it's often where a carigan differs to Neo.
And so he had a timeout ahead of this one, chance to leave his mark.
He's not out, Tas has in between maps here.
Not just this clash of big names.
Form a teammates in the case of simple in this phase clan squad from the major, but two legendary coaches from the best Polish line-up, blow for blow.
Backstab, on twists out and main.
Targeted a Frozen, and we'll reply, and they keep the advantage belonging to Faze.
Closing it now in the backside players, it's out of your own, and crazy is found another.
Sides swipe down in the round of Faze, they battle hard.
Desperately trying to hold onto up, and the stack was in the right place, and it isn't enough.
BC game.
Mappoint is as good as theirs.
Supposed hunting brookie as well.
Trying to save this claw saw, but he doesn't even notice it was reset.
It was reset back around the world and simple looks to make a statement on his way out
Trying to squeeze this final kill to confirm broke his god. There is no warb
There is no hope there is no phase here on you
And
That's a telltor as well. They just walk through main harry
Caragon not watching
That's where shot on a reload, 3v4 with double back side and B.C. game maker look easy, that
is map point.
You can just see the increased comfort ability getting a call from the front here as
well.
Now in the phase and nervous that you've been using this outside area to such devastating
effect and with all their individuals hitting a little harder feeling a little sharper and
everyone being on the same page BC game become a real threat
Aragorn down at lower faces don't know how to solve this. They had three different players play that secret rotation in the CT side
All to the same success none
Broken on a big flank is clear lobby phase not just half to gamble being this position
They're gonna go through so twist drops in with frozen
and broke he will just miss these players crossing in but they know where BC gamer going.
It's all about stopping them now.
Just a swarm of players and very tooltask in front of you here.
It's not easy for broke either.
Oh, I forgot to go back.
broke you want some Tomango to start go too early.
And we've said to no end,
the Terry's loves playing around with events.
He doesn't like what he sees.
They could try and leave.
They spot Brokey.
They will commit out through the window,
simple out in the open.
Electronic finds another.
People down knowing about it.
It gets reduced to dust.
PC game.
Nobody saw this coming.
But somehow they bring the best
that a simple electronic bring in the hype.
The energy and the calls that for mutarians.
And they pull through for me.
Dismo! Death on Dust 2 to the resurgence on Nuke!
They state fighting! And this one set a lot of action!
And I am simply stunned!
Let's be real! Let's just reframe our expectations for a second.
We're coming off of Dust 2, where it didn't just seem like any kind of tilt-down hook.
That was mega-tilt coming out of BC game and to do this on phases that you somehow
somewhere find the form to bounce back. That's a... I was excited.
Expertly unexpected phrase, what they like to say and I mean with it,
talk about one thing and that's basically game if they're going to win, it has to be playing
from a head. You know, it has to be having momentum and they were able to despite losing the
pissed around and having a three-ost zero-three start from the CT side, being the half-seven
five and then wearing the pistol converting in the second half, you know, was the recipe for success
on you. And once again, they showcase that if they can keep attitude, if they can keep things
going their way and they don't tell in a jolly and they don't blame each other, they can
occasionally play some decent counters, right? And I don't know what make what made the change
whether it was TAS or materials or someone must have shown a little bit of character and
as you mentioned playing from the head also helps, but there's gotta be some character
that has to stay up with this game. What used to expect was the case, Jail, because
I mean, we also, the camp, we all saw them walking out of the booth, which we met one and two,
as well, how do you make sure that that doesn't just absolutely, you know,
become a catastrophe when you move on to New York? I know, maybe it's the pressure.
Some teams, they really want need to feel pressured that they're going to exit the tournament.
This is your last chance to show the best CS until the next tournament you play.
Let's give it our best that's not care about the mood, just play our own game,
focus on shooting, focus on the strides, and let's see what what were capable of doing in this scenario.
Were you a player that kind of thrived in that, or were you more happy to feel a bit more comfortable,
and like you back wasn't against the wall?
I really like being backed against the ball, but it's not the best feeling to feel.
I mean, coming into the game, to pressure your hands a shake in a little bit,
but sometimes that helps, sometimes you need that push as a player to actually perform better in the server.
Should we get into some of the rounds we saw in this gun then now? We have to go to the second half.
We got round 17 people. Why did you pick this one out?
I picked this one out because as I mentioned before, I think there's been a little bit of
character shift and I think that Moutheris has gotten maybe a little bit more like Lee
Sheer like he's maybe been telling the guys like if I'm actually gonna be in a position to call this one out and just
Actually to be able to bring something to the team you need to give me some leash and allow me to do so
And I think this call is nice. It's a repeat call actually they've jumped done this previous year as well
And you know, it's literally not about your chance. It's all about the swinging you see here how good
Simple can be he swings out of decond and actually just wraps up the two kills
He understands the situation and waits for this one and at this point, you know, it's just the fractures coming to civil
And this is where a symbol is it's just so good. He understands that there's a point of ability of a fast flank with the how they just approach around the second flank once again
And it's good to see that at least what serious was allowed to have some saying in these rounds that he's thinking that
Let's just stick together a stick together as a call because we need to just went out the training case because when we start splitting up
And we have one guy at all, one guy outside, one guy going around, they just don't have the communication and the playbook track, these three things together.
So to see the materials to go step back, go for the team, players with unit and go for a call that had previously should have been working for, what's good to see?
Yeah, good for the materials to be.
Sikitou is gone, so I guess after, what should have been a celebration for one of his highlights on dust that just turned into a funeral.
I think there's a lot of credit because even on CT side, what's worked for them was being proactive,
You know in the rounds where they may be over rotate they're not just stuck at the wrong place
They push together. We had the round where three guys went down vents and pushed secret okay
They lose that round, but it happened again. They went up ramp. It worked out well
So I think he was just taking matters into his own hands in terms of
Calling and saying we're doing this we're doing that and
Keeping everyone's sort of on the same page
And it worked wonders on you how much are you buying into jails pressure angle
Because it's not something that I particularly thought of,
but then I look at Simple and Electronic for that matter,
and we've got to be realistic.
It's not a given that we're going to see them
a Tier 1 event potentially ever again.
Like you have to see these opportunities
while she got it right.
I think it's generally definitely works
like that with some teams and some players.
I wouldn't say necessarily that's what's going on
with BC game at the moment.
I think it's more just when the game starts
and you win a couple of rounds and you start feeling the game better.
that's what you get stuck into. You stop thinking about everything else and about the outside
factors, I think, honestly, Carrigan did them a favor a little bit early on because
face is up to zero. They call up pop around. It doesn't work in the first gun round and
they just go into default and this game had like three players outside the expected
that it was very easy to read and that's what winning those back to back gun rounds and playing
against an equal really gave them some breeding
room and at that point maybe they were a little bit like
all right we're still in this you know we still have something to play
yeah not being totally out called totally unreadable like us from
the side of phase because that's the other side of the coin sure we can
praise BC gamer all we want for actually managing to mentally get back into
things was this a little bit less than satisfactory from phase just in
terms of the game plan to breathe yeah but again it just it just shows that
phase can just fall simply really fun and I don't know if he was a case of
of them now going through their own map,
and feeling too comfortable also the way that they manage to win those two,
but it just feels like face sometimes,
lacks to connect the dots and have like your right rotation
happening, and they won't, you know, face always been a team
that likes to go for the individual place.
They're philosophy around counter strike,
has always been that they want to limit the space
that they give their opponents.
But that also requires you to be hitting your shots.
And we did see, I think it was twist,
we also had Jacob and I believe,
carrying it having a really, really poor game,
or maybe it was even frozen.
And when you're in the business,
just to be honest about that kind of playstyle
doesn't really allow you to do so.
And it's obviously a warning sign again,
for phase that they should be too old in busy game
in this moment.
I mean, I don't think that faces in such a big crisis
that they shouldn't be able to comfortably win
against busy game 20.
That's not the case now.
And now moving to ancient,
I map that obviously,
faces had a really good history on it,
that they like to play.
It's like they gotta turn around
because leaving this tournament by losing to be a game that will be straight up on a suitable.
Do you agree? Drowell, this is already an online interface.
Actually, I've never expected BC games to win new.
In the fashion that they played and the little amounts of experience they have coming into this game,
but now that it's ancient, I feel like kind of favors BC game.
Ooh, you know where you guys.
Okay, how come? Why?
It's not an individualistic map.
You have a guy playing middle, you have a guy playing cave.
There's a lot of, it's a kind of a similar map to those two, minus the Europa.
So now it's the right way to get to play the game and yeah, I feel like...
You see the most concerning aspect is phase one, two gun rounds on you.
Yeah, they won one on CT side, one on T side and the other round on T side outside of the pistol was the half-by
that they managed to steal away, right? And that's obviously not how you want it to go.
and I think as I said, if stay somehow loose to be
see game, that should be the end of this roster.
I have to have to agree with this one, and I'm curious to see
what side of the map they're going to obviously
what side of what side they're going to be starting on.
I'm going to come to face because if it starts, the T-shirt,
I'm curious to see if Karigan is going to take
Madison to his own hand, and maybe just because I remember
from playing with him that he would always go into.
Like he always wanted to give us much freedom to his players
as possible because he believed that that's how they played
kind of strike and he also believes that that is what is the best fit for face, but I
have also experienced that he sometimes needs to be the harsh guys in guys. You're not doing what
you're supposed to be doing. We're not doing correct. Now let's pick it up and actually go
together as a unit to see if it's going to be more like these kind of fast pace call from the
get go, like more like a set of excuse base because he knows that at this point face can
you a lot better. I guess the the only kind of silver lining I see for faces, I feel like they are
the personification of a team that when they're back to their school, that's when they come back
fighting the hardest, but in the same vein I don't feel like this phase is the phase of all
so I'm going to not show what you've scored that, that should apply playing against BC Games.
Right, like if you're against some under team, sure, you know, but here it should be just taking
care of business and it's very concerning the fact that going to a third and up and all the
pressure is on them. BC Games I've already surpassed expectation for their run here in Krakow and
for phase nightmare scenario if you lose this map.
What are individuals are you looking at from both sides of the equation then coming into ancient jail?
Frozen is for sure going to be the driving piece for the team, I mean he should be.
And, and, Carrigan, I think Carrigan is going to take matters into his own hands because I mean on
you he kind of relied on the team to make the place, but now he's going to be running out first.
Trying to get the kill, maybe get traded, but Carrigan is one of them.
Yeah, that's certainly not an easy challenge.
What you mentioned frozen is that just because of how he is an individual is that because
of site an area see plays or why is that okay.
For sure certain areas he's going to be dominating on the beside of the T side towards heaven
towards cave ramp and I'm pretty sure you're going to be taking a lot of durals because
he's a confident guy.
I don't think there's anyone on BC game that can stop him one to one on a durals.
Is that actually a chance the phase you eliminated her?
There is.
Why not?
I mean anything is possible phase has been very disappointing and BC game we saw they can be
very dangerous when they get rolling but I mean I can't even imagine what this would mean for
phase if they lose this game. Somehow some way we are heading into a third map. That map being
ancient but not before we had things to a quick break a remarkable resurgence coming out of
BT game but can they complete this monumental task will find out on mastery in just a few.
It's not a battle for us to die!
And chance of all the other!
The break by fear and no turning to a broken was enough.
It starts with a dream, with a team you barely know, in an amateur official that feels
like the grand final, where practice becomes progress, and every loss feels like a lesson.
and it will hear it turn you begin.
I need to do my best to go inside.
Hey guys, I'm Twist. I'm Frozen.
And this is dynamic duels.
It's like me, and that's really...
I mean, it can be rough, but I also feel like it's one of the chillier sights,
so to say, especially if you are a hard shooter next year.
First of all, I think it's a cross door, so you need to hit your door
or get a smoke from the guy to smoke mid-through,
except to get to be said throw a model to model or smoke if you have or something just shut down that first timing be
up that can happen to be rush yeah it all comes down to the signals the enemy team is giving
if the door smoke is a bit too late or there's a door smoke but there's no flashes or anything
always have to be careful you know a team into walking the contact be people that's why you see a lot of
players, just in Somalia, maybe flash off the wall, the tunnel wall, and then smoke.
Just so any contact player is eliminated, really.
The biggest threat to be players is actually beast with this place.
This place is the biggest threat by far.
You gamble that the B-site, the players are playing more on the mid-side of the map,
and then if you hit the good timing on a B-pop, you're with a smoke.
The risk can pay off, but the most times teams are playing out the defaults.
It's a lot of utility tracking and economy management.
If teams can afford all this utility to prevent heavy split,
for us, if we can't, we always have to adapt
in the round for what can happen.
If the teams can play the round well,
it knows makes it easier to use a lot of utility on the map.
It will get to the point on the big side where you will run out of nates.
And as Ross said, you have to choose a,
it will be played for mid or it will be played for B-side.
And I mean, it just comes down to killing right then.
get your awesome time.
Yes.
Spedip being a smaller set, after the map,
I mean, you can get away with things
when the first angle is the MP9.
You can only stay there for so long,
because you cannot stay there if there's putting the,
you want to make sure you're a little bit of a small,
so you're ironed for, to make sure that you're in your
support and you can have good crossfires
in long range tools, either window and car.
So just waiting to be one point gets contact first
with a better gun and then first double up
is always nice for the B-side.
Any's also really good at surviving.
When he has a smoke, I feel like I can always rely on him to buy time, so I always
have time to come back from making throw flashes when I play a side-to-the-air, that there's
a lot of natural chemistry. We're doing things that can go if I can be unspoken and we just
It's about each other well.
Yeah.
Well, no one quite saw this coming, but we've gotten the distance in this elimination
series.
BC game battle back on Nuke and they look good while doing it.
He's felt very deflated, only winning a couple of rifle rounds in the entire map, really
didn't get a hell of a lot going and that was where the Brokey ace in the pistol.
When our tool called into question here, phase is 2025 ended with a shock major run all
the way into the final, but 2026 might not be kind to them.
The heads on the chopping block and you know this would be on hell of a fall.
There's quite many were excited to see after the promise.
A little glimmer.
Out in Budapest.
I don't want to talk about point four seconds when you remember the phase was just playing
from one to and back to back stages.
They know what it's like to be facing elimination.
So can they step up to the test?
because here on this third map,
he's getting that nothing to lose with this new roster,
material is going to dive into the site
and find a headshot to frozen all over the site,
RPC game, main control, 10-put, 3-on-3.
Bonkam, make it down,
electronic punches it in.
Simple, it's got a P250 yet again.
Oh, I missed that.
Oh, it's the second turn around as well.
Brokey in position, it just field the whole pistol away.
Tap back from Electronic and I'll get rid of him. That's the danger man a Jacob
This would be the time and quiet pistol rounds have not been at phases friend at this tournament
And Jacob never gets going simple with the shutdown BC game and yet another pistol in this series said earlier
They have the worst round conversion off pistols. They always lose to the force while they didn't last map
to drop Rocky Aces the first but BC game went on a streak on their T-Side and they go back to a T-Half on Ancient.
I mean, you know, the two pistols that they used, they've been able to find in this series,
one on Dust and the Aces and Brokey on Newt. They're the only pistol rounds they picked up all of them.
And trust that to what you saw from this team at Budapest with Jacobi, the pistol goat.
And it is night and day.
I think he's serious, but they're gonna try and make sure it's not in vain. He gets the info with a mid stack and his team
A quick to react it feels like the vibe for BC game is they are gonna go down
They're gonna go down fighting and they'll go down on their own terms
We tear is very much trying to lead from the front across these last two maps
It's serious. I've got to talk about his step-up as an individual as well across the series
he's rowing showed up in that first map who's one of the only guys showing up in a simple
both trying to win rounds and in that second he kept it going while leaving on a great
team side as well so love to see him falling his name of the ring in this unlikely victory today
but BCG able once their closer than ever before three kills for simple pistol converted by
round coming down for phase
All right, go around down now for phase clan
You will be keenly looking for the eye test on this rifle round because they really let themselves down on new
The reason that one even felt remote be closed was down to that pistol in the first half
This character even has his heaven
You see game dragged down to hell
Oh my god, I don't know
It was to save her hands out here in middle a promising sign if that keeps up a big 4k on the mid-aggro
Shots down the entire game plan of the BC bonus because this is also right even the jail
seven the death saying hey bcm have a good shot it's a very individual map they seem sharp right now
we saw some great highlights of some of these players in the previous map this is still it's not new
Kenny more right you can't just be tricky you can't just be surprising you still need really good
fundamentals on a map like ancient heart trading it's very good at stopping that mid take
So there is a lot more to do for BC game in this elimination match to be a one now.
A map, phase themselves have had highs and lows on, have been anything but consistent
on this map in the last year.
I think the fact makes it all the more winnable for BCG.
We just don't know what we're gonna get.
How do you think of the map for BCG for the Soul Core again?
This is one of their most played maps.
It's the one that tries to rival alongside Nuke, especially in the last year or so of play.
So for the three X-Saur players, hopefully similar degree of comfortability to Nuke.
mid and going into a behead but phaser not only triple-hole the aggression
electronic might get caught shuffling the nates try to tee up the team for the exact
this stack plays it forward
oh sim pole that's a really nice way for this to start but he's gonna have two more
and him get to the spot off on shaw! okay and stun the int happening here
sim pole brings it down at a 1v1 and of course he's squaring off against
Brokey wrap back round into the cave is it's really the angle the broke is gonna leave it to
simple weights
But for how long that's the big question 25 seconds. This is nerves of steel type play who breaks first
It's simple one on the clock eventually he's gonna play it for
What?
How do they have a fight for this?
They're nice, that clutch!
Or they've both against stress there, the silence broke you realize they didn't drop off,
but is it ramp is it cave?
Brokey doesn't know.
Health advantage does make the difference by the end, it's a crazy triple for simple.
Brokey is the insurance policy for phase.
That's after a Jacob multi kill on ramp itself.
flying round for everyone involved. It's phase we prosper.
Arguably Jacob's best round of the series so far. He has been a non-factor across both games.
Phase need him now more than ever before.
Simple looks for revenge. He does his best work when he's really back against the
Oh god, what's going on here?
Double block.
Kill from crazy.
Electronics just found another one on the P2.
Oh man.
Don't lose to Glock space.
I don't know if you can stomach that right now.
The last one comes down to a tense one, be one.
Will you clutch the hole through?
They deal with the danger man.
And it left onto our record.
One verse is two.
Can a double kill on the Glock already?
That's not something you get twice over in these type of rounds.
So phase, skidding their teeth and these last two rounds, but they are holding on.
Back to back triples for Jacob, but I'm not even gonna call them Gork Hills because they are so impactful at this point.
Just to stop BC game winning around out in nowhere like that.
Running gun for crazy, and nice push back in for phase.
I don't let BC game scramble any more or pick up rifles.
Broke your Poncecth can be difficult, not an open paradise by the end of the new
resource input elected to save the AK over the orb.
Broke your peek down around, spot for Jacob, one over the player.
and then damage ships away.
Currently cave.
Is it exploitable here for BC game?
It got two players waiting on the phase of that smoke
with crazy clearing middle.
So only Karagon they think,
Koki's here as well.
Oh, close.
I'm quite broke.
He gets out.
Jacob be simple.
Building to quite the head to head.
Finding another kill down on the ramp.
I'm going to get you a rampside, you know, even if you go and play a brookie, I'm going
to give you that warning.
First shot fired off, you know about him, but I believe you don't think you're expecting
go to them.
Might never even have to see twists either as brokeies in full control over the B hit.
Crazy playing it forward.
Just another one for brokeie on a platter there.
The AWP allowed to sing.
Big 4k and a fourth on the board for phase.
As I have a bit of a second wind late in the day, getting a lot more out of these individuals
now.
Great to see brokeie performing on the AWP.
Of course, it was always a sighting just to see simple play against the team that pulled him in for the major run, and the player he replaced performing well in this game.
Simple hero, aka, Arragorn set him up.
And you want simple feeling up for the task, but again against Brokey, here on the
Grapp simple, doesn't get a chance to react, it's quick enough for Brokey Argon, has
a go as well, Brokey doesn't need to over commit, he has many teammates in this site in
Carrigan and Jacob Crossfire for more, aka loss of the wind, around Fools, just as much.
five alive for phase, this is their game to lose now.
Simple taking its time to reflect going over the notes before this one.
Peace, I can start to feel a little limited when you're just getting Christ out, unable
to take some of these key areas.
Struggle the maintaining the lane-fied struggle that getting out into middle.
I can't let they do want to stick to their guns here, one small grouping over at the
lane.
And this would be the round for it.
Let's see that.
Holes are getting plugged as we speak, brooky rotating away once they take the mid-control,
and Carrigan from that joint out onto Heaven once he confirms that mids clear doesn't
hang around, so now you're actually going into the stack.
It's about so many great stacks in the C2 side already.
BCG run into yet another one, Electronic kills his teammate on the entrance, I'll ramp and
show you get the site, but nothing more.
Carrigan ready to put pressure on that body bounces as he's blinded, but here is plus
It's white instead of electronic tries to provide the cover.
The force even deeper to the five and choose phase.
Biting down on this retake, Simpo has got a kill twist here and now but he doesn't even
know.
Climb up on the heaven, simple flicks back to late, crazy one before.
Surely an impossibility.
Oh, he's walking on fire.
I'm living on a prayer with that swing out, hoping the lineup would come through.
It does not!
Got a hand to face here, they've had an correct read here about every single round of the CT side.
Stacked in that B-bomb side time after time, broke his orb everywhere it needs to be.
So, BC game, if they just keep going for Cyhitz XX early in the round, in 5v5's face, we'll
thank them.
I'll pass with his chance to weigh in.
No, as you won't get many opportunities.
Use this one of them here and now.
So hell of a storied game.
Talk about what it means for the players in the roasters in the server.
There ties to each other.
this very arena we're in right now in the Toron play host to the last deep run of
that legendary VP squad bit of sweet memories here already and only one of Tazoneo
gets to survive the night so let's see what little trick Taz is tried to
to introduce it's fast slower, less grouped here.
Playing an extremity player out towards B&A and focus on mid-controlled, broke his arm once
more, right place, right time.
He's got support, not alone in this fight.
Molly might make things awkward forcing them wide, but broke he keeps the advantage firmly
belonging to phase.
But in pressure on A, but this one's ending on that B-bombside, the bomb is coming back
up heaven here on simple, human-like, trying to comply ining.
This Jacob playing retake, he's had a really poor, first two maps of it.
Here in this third, he has been a solid rock on this bbombsite, underwavering.
They see him climb up, phase nowhere, this one's going, B.C. game have got to speed up.
I'll try and place a head of that rap, so I'll keep you letting me through it.
That's the catch on Jacob, Karigan with the cover, broke him behind him, and this window
of opportunity, Stine, a close, simple and crazy.
Oh, after this one, two on three, they'll dodge the spam, but there's no getting away
from that or brokeie throws his life away, just to deal with simple.
Spagged.
It's a good change in direction to BC game, but that or continues to be a problem.
And this is where experience as a full roster is really going to come into play, right?
Phase not falling too hard for any of these gambles, any of these fakes.
They've had a really good read of where to go.
Some risky moves taken as is always a case with players like Brokey and Simple.
But face with every advantage right now, 7-2, the bison's keep coming in for BC game
and they just can't land them.
First two rounds of the game, nothing more.
Phase on a streak of 7.
Flash play out in middle for new theories, twist you've just been the attack dog out here
and mid, they let him off the leash.
Broke you're so a man never barking up the wrong tree.
Great Reads.
Just one step ahead, the WP out towards spawn in a prime position to do damage along before
the bomb is planted.
Two more players from Faze even three years together, so sure, I like trying to reduce my hair surprise, but please an out at twice, attack fucking deep by it's down, frozen with a double, Faze smash BC game on another side here, it goes nowhere, this might be the end of the line, it was always an unlikely story, but we bought in, after Newc, the possibility of a shot
and horror for phase and PC game to survive yet another match here in crackle but reality
hitting hard right now experience showing true for phase. The game they were always
went to win. And they just buy it.
Been walking into each other.
Carigan?
What?
I don't even get caught.
Electronic works is way in behind him.
Still too strong inside of this beast side.
The heaven climb up gets denied for now though.
It's cover comes in, twist and frozen, try and close the gap, and the tear is, can't hold on.
Let's see your left foot looking at Aragorn here facing off against the two heavy hirs for the
phase client squad. It's all ordered to say the very least. Brokees even repositioned if this
kill comes through, and Aragorn thinks that it is safe passage, it is not. What a re-rokey.
one step ahead and Arragorn shall not pass it's phase looking for double digits
yeah that's not even broke here you know reading it as much as it's him just
grouping up with Twist but he gets ahead of the play he knows what BC
game we're doing before they do an opening back on the Twist fell like he gave
they're going to weigh out but Brokey is ready.
What if a nominal third bat from here in 13 and 4 twisted?
Just the same.
And phase have not had one problem since getting guns on this bat.
I close Glockico in the third round.
I mean it's one thing to find your form again, it's another rule together to do this.
Jacob, full blind, gets the opening, teed up by Carrigan, who's looking like a star
out here on heaven.
Tankills, deep, Carrigan still hungry for even more.
Phase and knocking on the door of a 10 round CT side with each of those rounds,
fooling in place, one after each other.
It is a damnit, flawless game out of phase clan in their battle for survival,
And now they're just three away from ending BC Games run in Crack Up!
Well, well, well, over here on the beast stream, it is energy taking
on the Falcons. Now this one does pack a punch. I'm not talking about Smash Brothers, you know,
the Falcons punch, but Virgil I'm talking about one that puts the Falcons out of the Intellectual
Masters here in Crackout. That's energy potentially on that upset alert. Anyway, that's over on the
B stream. If you do want to check it out, I'm sure it's right next to the place where you found this
stream. So don't be a stranger that or I think you can community watch it now, right? That's cool too.
Either way, the A streams come right back. So let's get right back in the action.
Faze, back in action in this third map BC game, it shocked and impressed over a new
game, certainly caught face off guard, but it's all halves hit the carigan, as 10 rounds
sit in a row on the CT side, broken into his masterclass Jacob, with his best map yet,
maybe a sad ending to the BC game story here in Crack of a couple of wins in stage 1,
but it'd be all they take home with them.
And you know, I feel like it's a first half out of its merits of BC game, couple of close
ones in there, but struggle to ever convert sort 10 in a row come through for phase.
Probably, it doesn't matter if you never waltz it through and in this pistol around
sure phase has struggled in them here, they will find their way to a bomb plant in the
the 4 before and they win this, this may very well be the killing blow on B.C. game.
Took so much space with that long play. They've got control passers, smokes,
Carrigan, wasting their time in the site. On smoked, kids available, they jump right on
it crazy, and the 4 stick they've got to get him off the wall. I found knife, I thought
I don't like your teammate. We don't refuse in the midst of the smoke. Kill comes through
two-lay PC game take pistol.
I just can't win these down rounds man, phase.
The rough times in pistols continue with a defused stole it away right under their noses.
Oh, they always come down to the last millisecond and face Insta Timeout.
Oh, oh.
Oh
Cost the POV. It's a good thing to install he was gonna kill brokeie. He almost killed brokeie. Was gonna kill him
He thought he was knife in that whoever it was for these he game crazy killing brokeie the whole time
Got he's taking four stabs
Okay, we're in a stab vest you just ain't going down
I'm not saying something.
I mean, oh, it's simple classic by here, Harry.
It's not the Nova.
Oh, a shotgun.
It's the next best thing.
Doing this in hell of a lot towards the end of his time
and now I'll be.
What's a little while ago there.
So let's see what simple can do with your O shotgun.
Nothing to lose here.
Phase needless to say at this school line,
they go for the force with the bomb plan.
And a knife killed to boot. Double AK Armour.
Thank you very much.
Cargon outside of A, but it's for my B for phase letting the U-Tail be expelled here.
Did he go B? He's got that all a shotgun in a retake.
Not ideal.
It is open for business, it's here as tries to keep information on his spotting and red.
Perfectly time grenade to carry in.
I'm avoiding the begins of the boost phase.
They are showing you a lot of B-wish.
Makes me wonder, do they actually commit?
Is it just an execute end?
A couple of smokes now going down, phase will make happen.
I mean, you've at least seen the CTs to set up fairly passive, right?
See, you're thinking you're going to get the site control, you're thinking you're going
to get your way into a bomb plant here.
Hopefully set up in the 5B5 and just get to play this round out with BC game being the
ones on the clock.
Oh no one's spamming this part, they just let it happen that crash suddenly helps, but phase pullback is can feel really hard to hold onto these postparts, but that is his attention.
Jacob has strong position, need another.
Jacob, oh, it's out with big damage!
You'd like to think that that's enough, he's softened them up, two players so low.
Auto shotgun dead straight away as soon as it arrives on simple and Ferrari go on down and just this pistol.
No time for it twists, cleans on up, and phase is force will prevail.
Yeah, phase.
I mean, we saw BC game struggle in the second rounds.
It's literally a matchup that seems to compliment each other well, right?
Phase really fumbling and pistol rounds at this event.
BC game looking good in them, but struggling in those second rounds more than anyone else.
It's a perfect storm for phase to witness force by.
and only strengthen by the knife kill in that pistol round.
I'm not going to retake. No good here for simple.
I need you to hope here as a team kill in middle.
Everybody pays the price. I try to go have a no cake and worth a second but he's so low and they can just speed up elsewhere.
I don't know about, but I really seem to matter, as phase I have a free bombsite with
3 AKs.
I'm rather regretfully, this kind of is your best course of action, it's just to try and
save these guns, and it's a cool no one feels good about, you know, you're now hoping
for a 9 round comeback which needless to say not very likely but it's the only option
that's left in front of you phase of taking everything else away.
The phase is just a huge sigh of relief I think this third map after
I felt like they won the series on Dust 2 already, they get out the most unbelievable recovery
I'll call you, it's a weird game to quantify you know, because for phase, if you're
a fan of this squad, you probably didn't love this struggle they had on Nuke, but then
you have to acknowledge the bounce back here, it's been fantastic, they made up for the fact
that they didn't win really any rifle rounds on that previous map by winning literally
all of them here on the third, only pistol round success for BC game.
For the BC game squad, you know, it was always as stretches to whether or not this roster
would work, the idea that you could pluck three players from saw, link them up with simply
been out of the game for as long as he had, reenact in him an electronic.
We were all hoping that sparks would fly and when you put them back together again, it
It would hit like all times that's not entirely what's happened.
Still getting away with some wins here in cracker, maybe going further than you might have anticipated.
But this is looking like the end of the road for this new BC game squad.
Phase get to keep on fighting for simple electronic materials crazy and arrogant.
This was their last time in cracker, this one is over.
Highlights room, Stempoor, a couple of sick moments from the Portuguese players, a well-called
T-side-on-u, and an 11-to-come-back against legacy that only won't forget any time soon, but this
is still an early exit from the second stage of Crack-off down bottom of the group. Phase, they do
their job. I won't celebrate them yet, they still have an entire lower bracket ahead of them,
but they get their job done, at least for one more day, taking their first win here,
of the year after disappointing online star and further in the start of this group as well,
phase, no surprises, no shocks, but the start of something so you hope inside of their group.
You know, for the BC game, not the way they would have wanted it to come unraveled,
especially, you know, now you kind of think back to dust, you think back to how close
that map was, the idea that they actually found themselves in some winnable positions,
None of that comes to matter, by the time the third one rolls around, feels good to have
simple back there with some signs of promise here, certainly not one that we're going to take
our eyes off of moving forward.
Yeah, we're going to talk a little bit about some of those signs of promise, but that is the
end of the run for a BC game here in Crack. I'll talk to me about some of those emotions you
feel right now. I know that was a stressful game.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, every map was different, so I think that's still we could have done much better.
No, I think we played really good on this map, I think we just got destroyed.
I think the calls maybe they weren't the best on the setups that they were doing.
And yeah, we couldn't close any rounds, so it's really out of the STD, we didn't have a chance, so yeah, I mean, it's rather game problems.
Especially on Dust 2, a couple of those failed conversions, you know, it really does sting a little bit in the long run of a map.
In terms of Dust 2, we go a little bit further.
For you guys, I know it was an intense game, I know it was a stressful game.
Can you tell us a little bit about some of those emotions? Can you share that with us?
I mean, I think that right now it's really art for us to be prepared for every map.
Of course the emotions are here and we are trying our best.
But sometimes it's, we are a new team, we are doing a lot of mistakes.
And yes, sometimes it's art to play, but it's like we are a new team and we need to know each other,
each other, talk more with each other and we need to be better basically. So what
yeah, it was, yeah, that is to, it's, it's art to swallow. I'll put it that way.
Yeah, it's things, man. I hate it before you guys, but yeah, this is the end of the run
and crack off for you. Is there anything you'd like to say on behalf of BC game or yourself?
Not just everyone that is supportive us, thank you so much, we try the
our best and yeah I mean we vote that we could do a better game today but yeah that's it for us
and we just go home and we need to rest a little bit and let's see the next events.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you guys.
It starts with a dream, with a team you barely know.
In an amateur official that feels like the grand final, where practice becomes progress,
every loss feels like a lesson. When will your journey begin?
It was a slow start for Furia, but now they're back.
We hope at least some of your coach did.
First off, how was your gym session this morning?
It was very good. That's about the other side there.
No, it's very nice. It was nice.
How big are the physical routines actually for you guys
on the players when you were on events like this?
Actually, it's up to whoever wants to do it.
So I'm never just keeping the gym and I'm really going now
with Falun, I've already for two weeks he's going no stops so I mean it's the first time
I'm seeing him on the grind so I've ever had to happen for him and it's basically me and Falun
is this. I see, well it's a good routine to have. Why do you think Sharia had such a slow start
to the year? Honestly, when you go back from the player break, some things might take a bit to click.
I think our biggest strengths last year was our chemistry and our synergy game and after
paying two or three weeks without playing the game, it's normal to lose it.
But I think we're taking a bit longer than it shows to recover that, but we are working on it,
we are discovering new issues on top of the ones that we already had, so I mean it's
taking snap for a time, I guess, but maybe taking a bit longer than expected.
not exactly that happier I reached from that we talk about synergy you can
argue in interview yesterday where he talked about you decided to change a lot of
things and maybe even roles right so why for you that despite your big success in
2025 you think it needed an overhaul basically I wouldn't see this changing I would
rather see this fixing because we noticed it was taking too long for us to go back
to our natural farm and maybe it was because we were in not idea with spots in terms of
result, of course, that's the only way to achieve the lot.
But if you're like, we still had adjustments to make this work again, and then this
difficult game that we had just showed us that maybe we, we, it was time for us to
change the things. Okay. I don't know if you can answer this. I don't know if I
have secret visits, but is there one role for some player you change specifically?
That you really want to get going? Interesting. I think you guys are going to notice
It's a days game, but we decided we would rather have someone else answering in our team.
So, you guys may be with you guys, I noticed.
I love that. A little riddle for us. Thank you very much.
The Intel Extreme Master's Crackout, when he 26, brought you by ESL partnership with Intel.
Acer Predator
E8 Jill

Checks
And City of Fire
A revenge match to end out the night here in Crackovers, Navi, now once again face Furrier,
despite Navi's name being on the trophy three times, that was a few years before Alexey
and he knows what it means to come so close, but be so far, a two-time grand finalist with
both ends and G2, but always going home empty handed. A surprisingly similar fate though for
fallen, having won multiple majors, including Ironclone, kind of it's always the one that
got away. If you want to change that tune now, he is going to have to take the long roads in
20, 26. My name is Fred Spitters, joined by Yanco J.L. and of course, the pre-for what is going
going to be a very interesting rematch indeed, because what was the most in the two teams
playing here?
At the major.
So it was very recent in the quarterfinals, it was a shocking upset, right, Furia, one
of the favourites absolutely to win the whole tournament, Navi, so those queues to into
the playoffs, flow under the radar and completely took Furia by surprise.
I know it was a three map series, but it was very comfortable for Navi.
that I was for sure. And as you mentioned, it was quite the upset and now that we, we don't get to
at least, he trained because out of the map pool, it's going to be interesting to see what maps
they're going to go back up because that's always a little bit of the storyline when you
had these kind of rematches. Specifically, when sure that was made, you know, you also have
elimination now. And as you mentioned in the whole bill of Fred, I know that a lot of the
line for a lot of the players having to go in and and show that they also can win this
type of tournament. Yeah, it just in terms of that much of the major. I know you obviously
have quite a fair bit of bio-style but did you actually foresee it going in the way of
not because pretty much everybody was saying furry was the favorite coming into the entire
major.
I actually thought this lobby roster at the major should have made it to the grand final.
Of course, maybe in the grand final they would have faltered and the best of five they had
low chances but against furia it was for me was a comfortable win.
I even saw it prayer but against furies they faltered and was unfortunate.
Now, gentlemen, you've taken up quite an interesting angle with this one.
You've decided to look at the POVs of both these different teams.
You take one each.
Janco, we're going to start off with you also.
You're looking at what are we looking at?
Yeah, I was looking from Furious POV on Mirage.
So here's an example.
Navi plays a ton of default, right?
So what are some of the things that you can do to sort of try and disrupt them?
Because you have to, you have to take that risk.
Even though they're good at punishing aggression.
So you can see here how spread out on the map is Navi.
You'll see this a lot of times.
Maybe there'll be an extra player ramp instead of underpass, but Alexey
wonderful top mid, someone lower B, a lurker to towards A.
You can see what imperial did here, actually in the mid round as they
see that it's a default.
They're moving all the A players towards connector, right?
The A- anchors on stairs and no way from short he throws some utility,
Molly, a chief enemy from B, throws a flash and that's all they use, right?
try was holding other passive job, get the kill, they just crunch mid together and it works perfectly.
Now this is all about timing as well. You really have to nail the timing so that they're not
in the anti-flash positions and what's not and it's not going to work this well every time,
but I feel like that's the recipe for success. What are you reading into that from your
beer video? I mean sometimes when you're playing and you have a very, very calculated
shot of, let's take middle and then let's go into connector. The best thing that a team can do is
ruin their plan. Just go in, Molly Flash, fight it, trade it out and then play in
third late round because Navi is a very heavy prepped team. Yeah, that's the
way to counter them. Yeah, one thing for sure is definitely they've been doing
that homework in terms of your side of the equation to pre what were you looking at
coming into this very much? I really wanted to touch on why Navi is so good on my
Russian. Obviously now I need to be be careful what I'm saying because I'm
sitting on the floor and Navi play it right? But Navi as Janko already mentioned
you know it is this very top heavy D4 style where they do want to try and have
different variations inside middle way they can from different
utility bills. You know we all know that the Nate set up having
top smoke window and and also a Molly for underground to give them
that kind of space. But what is interesting for now is that they keep
changing things up right in this situation now this is this is one of
the give me place that they want to be trying to get a guy inside window
to try and catch them off guard. You're always being very aware but it is
these type of variations in utility that will allow Navi to have this
surprise place. And I think that that is what I really like to be
watching when I'm watching Navi, is that the different directions in their mid splits is just
it's just very good. And if we go for another example, it could also just be the fact that
if they change up a kind of utility, they will always keep you their bonus guessing. And for
this one, you know, it's here, Emma again being the guy here, he sets up the forgets of flashbang
into connector and actually allows them to get a very nice bubble killer. And after this one,
you also just see how no tourism, how good bit is that clearing out this angles. He knows
It's exactly where to be looking at,
it's exactly where his teammates are scaling.
And he's just so aware of the whole situation.
And I think the ace for Navi is always
what has made them stand out on the likes of Mirage
and even catching the last guy to play a trying to save here.
And it's just nice to see that Navi has such a deep playbook
that they can really pull things into keeping their opponent
skisling.
And I even have another example coming into this one.
And I have plenty of examples, right?
Again, if we see a different combination,
we have the top mix mug and this time around,
we actually have a molly and window.
We know keep making things a little bit different.
And Furian, this case, they decided to take the fight.
Let's type the fight to middle now
because we need to disturb their buildup.
As we mentioned, if they can do that,
that would be a way of winning.
But this time around, it's just a little bit slow
from top mid-day to the two guys coming from underground.
And they piece things to get a figure out
that Furian is in a mid-set up here.
They just trade out the things here.
And the self-doing again, the top, the top,
The first thing South did take us lower in the corner.
They worked the way I connect the Molly up short.
Take their time.
They don't feel forced or rushed to go up connector.
And once again, you can tell from the meeting map that bit is again,
trying to find his group inside the A-apartment.
He takes his time.
He wants to clear out the position that his opponent cannot clear.
He walks out in fans' guide playing around.
And once again, Navigus simply makes it look so easy to spin the thing.
Yeah, they make it look so simple.
J-O, you are nodding on there.
Is that analysis?
Spot on from Peter?
No, I'm a spot on.
Oh, that was very nice.
Well, I did my job.
Do you think, in terms of when you watch this version of Nave playing more archer,
how different in terms of some of those tendencies,
some of those looks from when you were playing in there,
because you guys were looking very good on more arched back in your day?
Actually, it looks very similar to what we had back in the day.
I mean, this round looks like the intention I made that I know.
Yeah, I'm not going to go into detail.
It was not to be that kind of a normal part of the nail that's been scrimmed.
If we say the correct phrase, can you just give us a thumbs up?
But no, in terms of what we expect considering
that they've faced each other so recently
in the major, just in terms of the match,
you reckon we'll see that more arch coming in again.
Yeah, because it's also Pinterest of weakness
in general for Fury, all right?
So not only is Navi good on it,
it's also a polish pick at the same time.
So it's really going to be a no-brainer.
For Fury, we see inferno coming with the overpass band
from Navi and the Decider being thus too a little bit surprising
that Navi led us to go through,
but maybe that 13-2 from the major play,
the party then be to a new.
Similar map pool suits the major of apart from the fight
that train is not in here.
That would you get to see those two played out.
And I just hope that that you guys
and humble pay attention to what we just,
you know, throw it out to look at what has now
changed because the rewatch is always so interesting
because it's figure that they want to come up
with like a bigger like answer to what is actually going
to have more or is it now that it's now
been like in the statement which is not changing things.
That's the key question.
It is about time we get some answers.
A re-match of the quarter finals of the Buddha Passpasion
Now here at the Intel Extreme Masters crackle,
it's time to get into it with Harry and he goes.
Oh yes, so we're gonna be starting things off.
Much like we did there here on Mirage.
This one's been a struggles to map for Furia
as of late by their own admission.
Your kind are even speaking.
And then if you say that they're lacking the confidence on it,
that they've come close,
but they've been unable to break through.
This meant to be one of the home ground maps for Navi
and so a chance for them.
start this series of strong perhaps. It's certainly hope so.
Home ground as Jail says.
Vintage Navi, do we get that today?
It's a bit of a bee pop case, Rato, giving us a chance
up in the window, but we can have to drop off as Navi comes charging.
Vintage are on their way, but they're pretty slow to arrive at third player in toe.
That's about it. The other two, well out of the picture, and with full ending straight away,
You already feel like you've lost this pistol round.
Smoke now in at the door and yeah that will seal their fate.
This one just slips by.
Fury and ever even with a proper chance to play, once that B-site crumbled.
I'll be did a great job of just icing out my territory, making him a relevance in that major playoff match.
To me no, that comes in prepared does the homework.
Not only down in this low bracket because of Donk, the one player they just can't figure
out.
Oh, so, but I might as today I'll be on Molodoy to see if you can, oh my god he must
seek movement, hit the hop through the window.
As I was saying, you can Molodoy find his form, they show against so many squads, even
in losses for fury, if there's a moral noise, often the reliable peace, can he do that
against a Narvee who have a recent victory over them? A victory that shocked many as
Narvee often are underrated in the major playoffs, and with a few days to prepare,
able to stun and Budapest.
I think it's well now that you're heading into that major,
have a bit of a benefit in the sense of,
they've got to kind of quietly work in the background.
They weren't quite the title-contending squad that went on to win the major far from it,
In fact, and so you know, they were kind of bigger threats that teams were focused on heading
into that one.
And what are you actually being one of those teams?
I'm pretty sure there are odds of favourites in the playoffs, but you know, Blade OS says
are way to the major, you know, we're waiting for the major.
We'll be ready for the major and Navi really always do seem to warm into it at the right
time.
This is a door of a new season, a new year coming back from the hangover that was booted past.
Trying to put your best foot forward here to start 2026.
How did case or are you just kill them?
I've still been a grenade for the consmo.
Couldn't tell you.
It's crazy that this is a lower-bracky game though, right, because Furrier came in slow to
this tournament as well.
We took one of the hangover, you know, they fell to a foot in the opening game of all teams,
a foot who tested G2, hunter had big praise for them, but Furrier managed to come back
against the Mongols, and Navi, who, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm high on Navi coming into
this event because they'd be pervasion off the top of their incredible run at Bounty,
and yeah, they got outclassed by spirit, but that's not new. And so with this win already,
being in recent history, I think Navi are feeling like this low-abrakid is all theirs, right?
Navi Fury a foot, a straw, it feels like a Navi coded kind of...
Yeah, and side.
You know, I think both of these teams are telling themselves,
this is the stiffest competition they're gonna have.
It's the playoff game.
And sure, nothing, you can take nothing for granted.
But uh, this is meant to be just going off of ranking,
the toughest match that you're gonna have.
Bits got the MP5, I'm judging, while I toy back and spawn with a scout and
not via our clamoring for an A-hits, not what Fury I want them to do, their stack up
Over the wards is B site.
You know what?
I think they changed their mind.
Baby just maybe.
And through metal.
I am in the ability to funnel some extra players.
And it's Yuri with the fan of server the wards short.
He could look to be involved in this with them taking metal.
And you can see without window smirking.
He's immediately a little bit interested in
What mid has installed?
Now, as a teammate alongside him, falling at a throw-yuri up on the boost, trying to strike
with a good timing, just misses it, catches that last man, as he tries to move in through
connector.
That force is not the forward, there's no turning around here, they've got to follow
through the need, knocking out my carsy.
Wonderful and even they've got 25 seconds to try and piece this one together, and they
might have found their golden ticket away out towards CT.
He just ran to be like it's nobody's business and nobody's home 15 seconds
wonderful if he could even get one kill.
It would be a shock in this position tucked in with the 8k.
The new area is fallen pre-fires three on one.
Ema in the clutch.
That smoke is a big problem.
Two players there you have to make this all good decision.
You wait for that or do you change direction?
You know he's missed the jump.
Fallen's the only guy facing right now. You're very strong out all of it. This joint in case the roto has made it up on a short in time and we'll get that to save the day
Okay, okay, sir, are our toe
Kill some self kills fallen still gets that well and good. They're flooding down
Emma in the clutch. You know the last thing you want to do is kind of let him get the ball rolling
They were all feeling a little bit nervous with mulledoy missing the jump on to short case the roto the pressure was on
He did not mess up his movement because if they're both late you give that 3v1 away
Yeah, it's not a very scary situation when you put Ema in a sight like that in a postplan
They were the biggest position lots of time and
Fury have to get the kill instantly if Ema buys just a couple more seconds that's his round
He can enter all three
Wonderful to decide or
Struggle to get involved on the T-Satararch experience, but Molotoy doesn't have to wait long to wield his either.
He marines right into the crosshair.
He had lost by Narby, relying on the sidehead.
Now he finds a cooler dove.
Oh, yeah I know this smoke.
I think.
I need it.
Okay, Sororo still has a need.
He's kept that just to be able to break this open.
Too soon, nothing's seen.
This is the A-Pray.
I spent a missed direction with that smoke at least.
And with mid-being dark, four-fierre, your kid does actually get a big curious about ramp
ends up in no mind's land because he would have pince her now you look on at caseurato
see how it in him they're still a very late niblog from a lexie good catch for full and
and caseurato in tandem a lexie was only supposed to get activated once his team had
crossed on him ends up as just one piece far removed not involved that one slides on by fury
a competitive from the get-go, the Delta tricky round there and able to navigate it well.
Nothing worse than being a lurk and your team just get completely destroyed, just start
looking lost in middle, but if they can get one more entry, an x-economic activate,
shoot a player in the side of the head, open up a bomb plant, smoke spam, unfortunate,
out of Novice's hand in that round. So just to save you a little,
It's a furious woman early to this game.
Just such a big random spam from Fallen Man.
If that kill doesn't come in if the bomb planted, Alexy's allowed to play at all the
making strong positions for now, be very intentional late mid-Lurk, but it's up
accomplishing nothing, Alexy would be saved gun.
We'll get a trade at least, but you can't even get so much info, it's a damage on our
legs Eve, there's no guns, it's a pickup just yet.
So not if you make anything of this feels unlikely, with Molochoy's open the connector,
let's go cover from the rifle as well, boost up, all the way, the blades and he hits a
nice, succinct flick.
Looking for one more, and with two plays and connectors, do you have to try away from the fight?
and move back in for another.
Bit deeek, auto-awaiting.
Ooh, lovely shot.
Surely not, bit one B2.
In the connector, my auto says no.
Has had enough.
Three alive again, Fioria, continue to profit on this city side.
I'm gonna reset this if in a struggle to map a fury it, especially the tail end of the year.
That wasn't always like that.
Used to feel...
Gone of the...
Very solid maps for this furious squad.
And you've caught them right as they're trying to regain their confidence on the Raj.
It's important for Navi that they're able to start to put the hurt on Furrier a little bit.
You want them in their heads.
You want them kind of doubting themselves here.
You want that feeling.
The Raj just ain't there, map anymore.
Seeping in.
don't want Furrier feeling like this could be the time.
It all lines up on Mirage.
Five lost drink for Furrier was started by Navi back at that major.
So they look to return to their winning ways.
Alexey will see the feet here.
Oh, Furrier is getting peppered and they rush him down.
No need to come in and Alexey falls off the perch.
They just have to go.
It's a Molotoy alone in an essential 1v4 in this bomb site.
Falling fighting a gun, the other side of the map.
Not the way team from to go, he fails, so Inwood and Onwood into this A-side Molotoy,
to nigh by the utility bomb down. Surely not. No one would want to give this to go, but Molotoy,
he's not like most players going to hang around here at towards the spawn. Still,
really searching for that kill that would bring him in with a chance, knows that once he gets
the ball rolling, he's a very hard player to stop. When you just don't get given the opportunity
is to fire that AWP. It kind of makes the mind up for you.
And as you mentioned, this wasn't always a map for your struggle, though. And so map
they had great success on, you know, on the early run in the season, but it's also the map
that fallen no-tissed Molotoy on. He said, back a while ago, he played against Amcalin
Prak, and Molotoy was pulling off some crazy shots in the connector, aka WP on T side, jumping
on the box, picking Palace, picking Short, picking Triple in all one smooth motion, and
Fallen said he just had that feeling he knew, but this guy was either cheating or insanely
good.
And so, say to say Molotoy is home on the Raj, is he home against Na'Vi?
That's still the question, 6 and 0 Molotoy after 6 rounds of playing.
This guy hasn't died.
Now I'll be always a frustrating team to go about this mid-control against.
I really don't mind showing that they're taking it only to then leave it entirely and it kind of forces the CTs to sink resources into
Clearing a dead position here. They want it to go and rejoin big
Well, Molledoy might have just throw in a spanner in the works with that kill there
5v4 for fury at
And now he grinds to a hole. This is where giving up that mid control leaves them with no other option
or continue battling, sticking to their guns on this plane to a.
We can get out that's crazy.
Molo's still needs to hit something here.
Stuck in the map, Yuri survives and he drives on top of the balcony.
Well, let me follow the way out.
Put him more shot.
I want to go to where Molo though.
Get in their face.
His orb, putting on a highlight for Furia, much needed.
I'll just save and save again.
Furia looked as exceeding.
It's second because he not to be four kills for Molo though.
He is 10 and 0.
This guy won't stop taking pot shots at Narvee.
And your alarmbell should certainly be ringing right now the idea that this is the game you'll
get out of Molledoy.
10 and an o. 4k ramp hold.
Molledoy just falls shy of the mark allowing him room to reposition.
You missed your chance to punish, and you don't get second chances.
And your up against the ol' annoy AWP.
Oh, how's he here?
Just even spam the smoke, even a couldn't pick a target in time.
Case were auto-finaling.
But Fury can just evade.
They're taking the advantage.
Offering mid-up.
Bit tagged.
There's no rest here for Navi as Yuri continues to get aggressive.
They're playing a trap in the palace a bit, stays in the unburdened.
Easy kill, 4v2, fallen the one way in, alone at this b-site.
This is buying so much time.
Oh, I like to go to the spot.
Has to go clear full and manual mode.
And the sign on his own, some bullet gets off it up and sacrifice him.
Because he's even going to ring out with another.
Don't tell me this is how now the...
Bring themselves back into the game.
Mother do a hand in his first death is...
Yuri's now left.
The only mind still standing for Yuri, but was supposed to be there round.
Going to play it forward.
Clutching and straws hope in that Yuri can find something
Think to kickstart this clutch, it won't happen.
Navi turn around at 2v4.
No business.
And yeah, I said falling was buying time.
It looked perfect. It looked great, but he bought too much.
Yeah, as team with air, they weren't even milling else's budget.
Milling else was moving.
It didn't want to take a fight eventually.
The professor had to get involved.
And Navi come to him, they punished three kills from a Lexi B.
former Lexi B Mollodoys' first death, disastrous round to loose for fury, it was all
going so well that caused chaos in middle, the advantage taken, and all the information
they could want, still, Nave, find away.
and
you don't love how you ended up in a position in the first place, but you can't argue with the results and
you know the
huge turn around for a lexium a carzy
to try and inspire you a little bit early on and even from these backfoot scenarios you
can still find a way for your aunts and infalliable team.
They are capable of making mistakes and it's on to Narvee to capitalize upon them.
There's a number of things making this map interesting already.
Even thinking back to that major head-to-head between these squads if you remember Moladoy was
a non-factor in that series. Maybe he got swallowed up by them and meant to me as no, sorry, by the
kind of scale of the occasion, the idea as well that Fury of War favourites in those playoffs.
All the time, it was not his usual self. No, you've come to expect had some
ages really be him where he's had some of these flood blinds, some of these flood games.
Two major piles back to background for, rookie the year.
it. And it's worse performance on the big stage, or maybe it was against pain in Austin
remember. That was a shocking quarterfinal to lose. And you know, he was, he was an
on-fact of us is now V2. The difference today is that is not the case. 10 and 1. It's
maybe the Mollidoi Navi were prepared for, but not the Mollidoi they had necessarily
felt yet in these high-consequence games.
I think Fallon has also had some incredible moments recently individually. I don't know what
it is at the moment, Harry, but the in-game leaders, the old boys, seem to be putting in the
work. Just came off of a great character in a material match.
Fallon has been pretty reliable.
Magic has had a huge uptick as well, beating mouths today, with a great game.
That's a Lexi strip all to find Navi there, fourth round.
We're back in.
I'm number nine and broken economy here for fury.
Are they pinch pennies and have an opening on them for?
Trying to make it work.
hey you tell over there today if you get it done by down on it they've got a 3 9B start
Great now and it's not budging double kill from case there are over on short
You know they've fought it whatever the plan was for Navi
That's now with the beast split called very much into question mid-controller fall into the remit of wonderful is once again
Navi elect
Hoping that at quite the disadvantage they can claw back around
Then literally just done it
I'll tell you that fury should have this all day long
I give this up over passive positions,
arming their pistols.
You can do a hoping for an over play.
40 seconds, big controlling windows,
only valuable.
If that's where you can do one's to retake from,
but oh, the first mistake.
All right, a bit of an over extension ball
and just wanted him.
I just wanted to glance,
and sometimes it's those glances
that cost you a backstaff, and you can do
or alleviate some, but not all of this pressure.
Now, V, still have a foot hole.
It's the player in palace that really should serve as the fail-safeer.
And McCarthy might think he's got some room to try and get this bomb planted.
That is not the case!
What about if he just takes it?
Well, the boys, you're just going to swing this out from the spot. Yes, he will.
Playing with confidence never lets it get tricky. Never lets that bomb go down.
Furious see this one through.
If it's a fake and Molodei dies, we call it a mistake.
But because it's not, it is the perfect remedy to stop being that clutch from coming up.
Not allowed too little time.
Feeling flustered.
A quick reposition after taking down is teammate in the window.
That's a low economy wind for fury. They were forcing with just a couple of guns.
Now it's not being an even more dire possession, tech nines and deagle, trying to smash this B-site.
All pistols go. Flash is the try and bring them in.
All entalk control it, you can dock can!
As he cleans house from the bench side, you can dock on for the A's.
Full and might have not been able to contain himself
for the pistols rushing him down, but with a safe pair of hands there alongside him, you
can not lock sit in!
And how can they know how high view up?
Says really getting into it.
If that was just up against the pistols and everyone else is still alive, I don't even be that
excited.
Sure, it's a cool place.
The idea to pull the guys, you are the only B-site player left.
This is a high impact ace at that.
the spillover keeps this scoreline pretty per fury up.
I'll make sure I'm up with that point to prove on the rise.
Yeah, not if he went from neck and neck to now just getting drowned in this T side.
Because he can eco-caboy the half-lead and rely on a final buy to stay competitive on their
mantig.
And following, he's had some messes on this B-bombsite.
This one should be easy.
I'm heard, you know, very deep, oh dear, full of survives, no one deep, full of the charts.
I'm just hanging around up close, and this time, full of this up for the task.
So, swell, on this behold, fury who've got onto it out the half here.
Seven rounds secured at three rounds streak, and one final bif and no other way to try and stop them from
leaving themselves in a good spot here on Mirage.
13 and one on Molotoy just to... Fantastic game out of him and yeah, play time up to punctuate the final round of
his T side, do not even need this.
Would feel like a wasted effort.
So Matt, they won 13 to 5 at the major and it was off the back of an 8 round opening T side.
right. Very different came here. Different pressure too. It's not about legacy and an arena.
Not yet, at least it's about surviving this lower bracket.
same while I didn't show it back to the major he's already outfragging his
mirage performance handily here from that opening map of the head to head in the
playoff he's just been everywhere hasn't he case in points louder jump holding
that top mid swing he had a very don't believe it they have nobody home
I'm all the do it.
I hit tab, they see you still alive and now they figure out where he is.
He's 14 and one, the problem just keeps getting worse.
Backstab, he should be able to deal with the Blacks.
He's missed the opportunity.
And that's case the Rotten Bayley came out.
3 on 3.
The big threat, the big man, it's still alive.
Over here on short.
I'll put him in the boost.
Of course you do. You've got so much faith in this guy. It was, is it this year they're
really looked to unlock this team? And Marla, do it. Finally walks to his knees, but it won't be enough.
Darya, go on to secure a handy CT side. And with Marla doing this hard, the big one
But if from the major could get answered, my one of these series.
...
He died!
That was a great fight!
They say revenge is best of coal, the fury of coming in hot and heavy here into this
first map, eight rounds on the CT side running away with Mirage and obviously go to and
their pick in the series. The playoffs just yet but either of these squads, they've got to
earn it through a lower bracket run too much as a way, Furia pushing first.
I set over the wardsby. Wonderful will be the one entrusted with the apartments. I haven't really
had to talk about them all too much, but if love and a shot here right place on those door
Barat is an ill-puppin' to work,
churns through fury and still is a bit more left in him.
Onto the clock now, teed up with a flashbang.
It decides not to take it.
He's done his part, around three kills found.
He knows that for fury, a big mistake would be giving anything to him.
Anything away.
Molleroys still alive in this 2v5 attempt.
They're trying so hard to bait the swing out of wonder for.
They know he's still here.
You already gives Chase and we'll get past him.
I'm scared.
I'll let that 3K be in vain, I'll be.
You've got to lock this one in if you want to recover on the half.
I get to go back.
Even if they just recommit a little later there,
selling dowter for an RV.
And around the world with the bomb,
Modo do it on a mad one, 15 and 2.
Why not squeeze all you can out of this pistol round?
Only one player on a.
You're just going to recommit to this B-site to really sell this fake for Molotoy, more damage.
Alexa, try to get info.
And bit in a 1v1 meanwhile.
Question is just if Molotoy is prepared for bit here, the client is really well.
You would not expect this angle.
Ooh, there's the chase and thank goodness bits out of the find it.
Yuri now has to die.
And they'll do him that service, Makasi.
and it's shutting down and it's time to infuriate but not meant to be and we end up talking about
wonderful there and nailing them on the dual beret is just irrelevant in the first half of
this game as it could often be when the obvious thing right he's not exactly set up to succeed
doesn't really have any ops to talk about on a T side but maybe we'll get a little bit more in the second half
I'll pick pistol to kick it off.
You can go for fury out.
All of the way to mistake, but the exit.
I'll be gonna smoke this as soon as he gets contact.
Locky any hope here for fury out.
Oh, he hears the jump. He knows that play in this full-the-jump spot, and so we're gonna try and collect the kill onto a Lexi when he plays for the info.
There it is! That's what Molly do I want, he only needed that one footstep, that one jump being heard.
So annoying. Molly doys around was decided that there's been aggression from Ema in the downtime pushed all the way and it's not me, it knows better than to hang around and risk getting flooded by these pistols.
Let's see if he's able to replicate what Molanoid did.
Try to team up.
Well, manage the first.
Bomb hasn't crossed in yet, still up here.
On the back of case, the roto tries to throw it down into the site and that move gets imponished.
Let's go, there you go.
What a deal, two kills.
takes some guns away from Navi, Alexi knows he was duked there.
Well, what was in the sound cues to pre-aim the headshot?
So, Furia...
Gap is closing, but it doesn't need to continue, or by coming in.
Ten rifles.
9 rifles.
Why now the love to make it look like they're fighting mid in these T-sides only to go
back, fury it.
They might do much the same after that initial skirmish when you get out with the 5v4,
they decide to do nothing with this space, just leaving your kinder here to late lurk it.
I think it will just swing out every now and again go for these little jiggles and see
that.
I'll be doing exactly a little mid and it's far from comfortable.
They didn't retake the space, you know that.
Now, if you're going to be looking over that shoulders, every step of this 4v5.
Now, already out on A. And all the while, Kis thought it was looking through B.
Yeah slow down then, don't come in with having to commit to this, because Kacerot has kept
the porch light on and then bringing that bomb home towards the B site.
Hurry, every taking a, if I didn't clear him, but he's ready, shadow gives him an easy
kill.
That just swings for the hells.
Bomb is going down in the B site soon and bit doesn't even realize that it's too late.
the
chair of suffering from success
yeah, they could have planted either either bomb side really
choose the path of least resistance
by bringing it back to be but
never had to dominate either end of the map
That's a lead maintained and money started to get called into question for Navi very early in the second half.
The series is a whole, I mean, it's meant to be supposed to be a bit of a giving for
Naughty.
The idea that Furria even have their own doubts of their own abilities on this map, the
verifiable streak that has gone against them and the fact that Naughty for the longest time
and it looked at cool mirage at home and even the fact that Fury came into the
southern cold and obviously came in hot, you know, taking down Parvish and day one so
obviously definitely had a better start to this event but it could be a pretty
sour finish today. Still early days and finally a dust remade.
Let's not be trying to fling onto Morage.
Furia might just rip it from that grass, there's one round away from the full eco-if in
If in Arvee...
Molotoy is just on attack 17 and 5.
Arvee really can't get those rifles involved.
Another catch for your Kindar out here in mid.
And even this is time to make you a little nervous, right?
I am usually a very reliable piece of this RV squad.
Well, he's been bested a couple around now,
on his intent to be involved in these midfights.
And this round is already written off.
Now, I'll be don't like what they see.
They consider it not worth the risk.
And so they'll forego a tenth to fury at really letting them pull
ahead on this T side with the hope that this force can do something in
next to respectable save.
But now we need an answer, they might need a timeout from play.
I think also, Fury, well aware of why you're trying to save and what you're trying to save.
They've got every reason they're going to give this a bit of a look in.
There's no worse feeling than writing around off this early committing to the save
and still not getting out with everything.
It's very important that these guns stay in play if now we want to remain competitive.
repetitive. You're right here and they won't decide to see it through.
It's a place they've given nothing to that chase.
There's nothing that owed a economy and I know I'll be to play these couple of guns in the next.
There is that time out.
Are the lip readers?
Let us know.
Stonefaces for Navi spars all round on Furia 4 on lead.
A momentum all game on.
Furia are very scary since play when they're filled in the advantage for it and really
know and out of manipulate the pace of these games, getting his opponents head a little
bit.
Extremely tenured captain.
And he knows that Furia hold all the cards right now.
Can't a cool from the front like this, and riding the high momentum on three of your star
players. You know you're getting solid performances right now at a molladoy who is lights out
out in the first half, and he died twice in the entire first 12 rounds of play, the second
one being in that final round, but also you can, in case there are over, really started
to implement a bit of a strangle hole, wherever that duo is looked to go.
So everything feels like it's falling into place of Furia, and they've said this themselves,
they've had a couple of close games here on Mirage, where they've nearly broken this
curse, broken the streak.
They don't want this one to be close, they want to end that streak of losses here and now and do it versus the team that sent them down this path to ruin in the first place.
You can't lie on the ground, falls apart here for fury, they have no bomb control, obviously we're realised, but that bomb is right down ramp.
You can do entries to me, this might make no big panic and let me say that's what fury we're hoping for, smoke shot from a carzy, cannot be counted for.
picking up the bomb is full and back in support and you can just still holding his
b site. Do they really split up in this moment? Fallen would have to go back
through the danger. So he hears the call from your computer. Two cats for the
takes the bomb A. Looks for the clutch. He'll need to. You're kind of
been failed. Fallen won B2.
It's in Fallen clutch in this position before last time. Now it's with the big
green. Let's see what he's capable of on the rifle. Get to the spot on a
a con player. Well they spot him. It is also there alongside Macauzy. And when you see
them that far back in con, full it. Goes and takes CT now aware that he's got a bit of
breathing room here. That's enough to look over his shoulder because he's cleared it deep.
Well the cover be there. Doesn't bite down on the first top of the bomb and full and mega
mind in there, stay holding down, bit with the cover. There's no time. All there is. They're on it.
They've got it. Now the ice them out of the clutch. Yeah, 10 seconds, stack the whole way there
right over the gate goes. So going forward. Yeah, if you wins our first fight, that's his round.
He can toy with his opponent. This was, that's it. Yeah, that's a round of fighting kill.
I won the round, really, because they had a short place to go.
No idea, you were getting it. But that would have let Fallen join up when he came there in B.
The kiddo wouldn't have been traded so easily.
The Zarsus strikes here for Furia.
Wonderful also gets to the dawn of his walk as does Mollidoi.
And he'll put it to work.
They clash out there in middle,
one of the full wins their dead.
Let's make a huge travel and I'll be fine.
They've been pretty step in struggling on the gun rounds this game.
Four of the seven rounds coming from pistols and conversions.
One both pistols converted them as well and one two gun rounds and then that saved them for in the previous
So Navi tried to level up late in the game trying to make this one just close for Fierre
Okay, so I just got the orb but because he doesn't need to give him the fight
5-4 at Navi keep it tight
So I've got to resist that temptation to go for this swing.
I'll be very measured though.
School of Blade.
He's paying attention.
Great, we paid.
They're not going B.
Grouping up in the connector, Furia getting come walking through this smoke.
Time is very very low, Kacerato able to open up on that AWP.
Backstab the akin guys, well timed, it's been over at the ramp.
Gotta have the heroic last stand here and he can't stop this spillover.
Case the Rato, donning the Mollidoi Orb, making it sing with a double and that perfectly
timed flank in through the window out of your kinder.
Who knew it was a case the Rato Orb to counter wonderful.
And Alex had to be just had a mare in this game. He was four and three.
So eight deaths without a kill.
And it all comes crumbling down here for Navi off the back of a unlikely round win with
saved guns and a digle from a carcy.
Syria, fight right back to me.
Navi is going to be an ugly investment.
Get a glass up.
But two players will be a little worse for where without drops.
So, yeah, again, a perfect time for a timeout, but it's really awesome to be on the line.
Yeah, and it's just incredibly awkward concessions to have to be making at this point in the game.
I mean, it's just going to be a Lexi B-Race, surely. He's had such a rough game. He's going to drop his gun.
He's going to play SMG, pistol, whatever it takes, and everyone else will be armed.
It's just going to be lacking the depth of the body, the utile, the kit, everything else.
And so with CT side, with limited utile, one is Blake and a cookup for Navi.
You might struggle to long out around.
You can know the great spawn if you want to be involved.
The entire type of a mid-fight and here's the full rollout of you till to complement this.
But in an 8-bed it's all here that's a punishing miss.
Could have been your chance at the 5-bed for wonderful delivered.
It lasts round but comes up short here.
You can't go say screw it. They haven't opened middle.
They can have it.
Oh, it's the perfect warning shop for you, Kinder.
glad that's what it is. Because now you rethink the entire game plan. Get a link back up with the
rest of Vyria as they look for this A hit. Wonderful in the right place. He's got Moleroid
to be hard managed. Moleroid swinging into the angle takes his orb counterpart down a peg.
And now they set their sights on this play coming through with avengence another from Moleroid.
nearly 20 kills deep on the map. You said it earlier, Alexey hasn't had a kill in quite some time.
Captain out towards the spawn just has an up locking him into this corner, the moment he tries to make him move.
Mollidoy is there marking him from the ramp.
I think he's going to try and steal this open, survive at the end of the round.
We'd love a smoke for the bomb, but Furia aren't playing funny games, they sit on top of it.
Assuring the round, flash the chase and let's see if the flash is well, case the roto
covers and no pick up, no save of that AWP, wonderful has been getting gapped by
Molledoy in this map, and now we have head to head to boot, 12 to 7, and we keep their
focus force save after save from Navi, but can they save themselves five rounds?
Need it in a row?
I just think this is a super galvanizing win for Furrier if they're able to close it in here
and now the idea of this map wasn't particularly close.
It's one that you were in your head a little bit about heading into this event and the
results here have an exactly strengthened that resolve in any capacity you've got in close,
but this is you finally breaking through.
It's just a nice bit of poetry
that it happens to be revenge versus the team
that started this streak of losses at the Major.
Yeah, you can run out of Kevlar, broken that round.
So it's an easy bit of spray for Macauze.
He's the kind of game goes everywhere.
And I still became four fury up.
Three kills.
You're in here.
you know, just spamming the smokes, making some noise and he's drawing rotates.
Now, it's a privilege to be stubborn, and they don't have that right now, they don't have the money,
they don't have the school line, they've been down really hard on what, really wasn't much of a fake out of Yuri.
It's after about a position, Alex, he doesn't want to go in fight forward now and throw it all into jeopardy,
but it feels like the only option they've got.
Biling his way into the site is done, big damage on case of roto.
Well, we're going up in the apartments, providing cover on the
York.
And this one is done, Mirage, fills into Furious lap,
dominating Naufi on their home turf.
And with the photo of next Furious pick in the series,
with all facets of their game on Friday day,
you are now extremely worried for Naufi and their
timeline in crack-off!
The Mirage lost streak ended for Furia and the first step at revenge claimed.
Very infatement way to do it after what was such a fact and full start.
A Furia back after?
Maybe. It's looking like it. I like that what we in Peter discussed in the pre-game area.
You could see some of the adjustments, just philosophically from Furia,
understanding that they need to try and disrupt that default, sometimes it will
simple play like Molotor going straight into ladder room with the fast boost,
them all in behind boxes, now it players when they see that they try to get to
second corner, I don't know how people call it, the delpano or whatever,
and finding entries in that way is like a nice way to go about it.
So, Cheney, with a talking point of view, also with the last three
that you mentioned earlier that they had to change something and then they needed to do
something interesting to get back in the flow of the map because one thing is
going up against Navi, not being able to play in Raj, but having such a
lostry, and then let's see the moves further into the tournament going into
potential playoffs and having a gap like Mirage and your map will
that will not be looking good for them. So it's good to see the Furia, turn
things around and play a very solid game. We can offer you sing for
his praises on his pursuit of Bivin' all good position in jail. Just in
terms of the Mirage, you know, where a part of Navi, how different was this
one we saw today was at Navi, you know, how having a few misplays or was it for a just
really like a book? I feel like I'm a played, they're a usual game of mirage, but just
not hitting enough shots and I feel like Fury played a lot better than they usually don't
mirage. They are proactive. They were always together, always on the same plan and of course
hitting shots always helps. Let's dive into a couple of rounds then. Peter was very back and forth
at the start. Round seven, what did you notice about this? I think round seven was one of the
key moments from what Fury could actually be doing different from from the last match of
but the major and you do see the navigator over this very top heavy classic default.
Now they do go back to the A-bombs.
So for Maldor here, what change is around here is the kill that he gets a bit.
And that actually allows George pushing to balance.
And Yuri comes back after recognizing that it actually is an A-play.
And that allows Maldor to actually position himself in a position where he's not has to be
afraid of a balance because Bid is already out of the picture.
Yuri has clipped this one out.
Maldor obviously hits all his shots when he's positioning himself in and to default.
But when Maldor rotates and gets that kill to Bid,
It just frees up and gives so much space for him to move around the A-bombs and he also calls
his router to move from jungle and to check care of connector.
So they are aware of the fact that it could be potentially an example for both ramp, but also from
connector.
But they shifted the fence into the fact that his router now says care of connector, while
though I himself puts him in a prime decision to check care ramp, whereas you as already
got an information that they cannot come from that.
And also last time they played a couple of times, they would send them all the way towards
B with the all-pright and play kind of for A. Probably reading that Navi, when they do go
be it's either a split or it's not super utility heavy so an opera could do a lot of damage,
but you know that would put them outside of the action if it's not, you know, if the round
doesn't end on B which isn't rare. So more of they being more towards A and getting into it,
like here there's round where they push together I think apps as well. Really tells you they
try to get a more involved and he just had a great game individually on top of that.
End of that first off, Jale, you noticed that played had a little bit of a timeout and then
and was going into something that you may have predicted.
You want to talk about round 12?
Yes, we always talk about coaches and their com-outs.
What do they say?
And the coach should be the mastermind.
He is supposed to track the whole game, the ct, the t-side, whatever.
And what they were conditioning, the game,
they were playing a lot of mid, like every single round.
Mid, free mid, format, the late early.
And then they go instantly into a B-pop, instead of a mid-take.
And they can get the cipher free.
But unfortunately, the model is just a really good player.
gets one on the entry, doesn't get surprised by Lexi B and close in there
I'm out with one more kill from short. Just in terms of those blade timeouts, those
kind of the details he's often giving you guys and the things he's been
noticing during the game. Yes, of course, 100%.
It's also this like this shift of pace that is just nice to see for
you know that is they built this whole storyline of that they can be anywhere
they can come to from underpass, they can be more multiple type of
different places and then this shift that into the do this B pop you know
So, if you didn't really have an idea and you saw the full rotate off-petra to try and
go and help the egg guys and just leave Moldo at the hand and it is this, you create
this story within the match that this is how we play and then you go out and you create
this kind of diversion that this is what it's supposed to be looking like but we're actually
going to hit the exact opposite position and that is where the mind games happens in one
thing is like inside the match but also when you go back and look at the previous match
up to that.
So, it's also nice call because they got stopped two times and be already so it didn't
make much sense that they were tried for a third time, but yeah, the great call that didn't work out in the first time.
Yeah, unfortunately not.
I'll tell you he was firing also in the desert, Molodeu.
I feel like he's back feeling himself shortly, Peter.
Yeah, he hasn't been like the best start to this tournament, then it's good to see that he's
he's bouncing back, founding a little bit more himself, you know, he was very instrumental
to the success in 2025, like the late stage of that season, and it's incredible to see how
he has just risen to the occasion of becoming the player that he has nowadays.
He is an extremely aggressive ball with that life to take the fights he creates a lot of
base together with Yakin D'Able, on T-Sideball.
Also, specifically this time around on the CT side, that just allows the period players to
just feel more comfortable to have an idea where their attack is going to be hitting.
And it's good to see that he's now finding himself because they need Molder to have
that kind of little to be able to be that good because he was blowing his mind in the
later stage of flax season.
It was just quite weird to see if you had any officials, versus Molotoy, you didn't.
That was kind of the time you took your departure and the time he was coming on to the
scene.
Was he a player that you'd actually even known about before P.Join Forex, think a lot of
us would have taken very about when that was to be happened.
No, I had no idea, prior to the June joining Fury, I had no idea who he was.
And even when you joined Fury, I was a little bit skeptical of him and I mean, it was
right to feel that way.
But once he joined, you give him a couple of months, he was fighting when they were
than he's entering a top five or top again. Wow, this is like don't but just
don't a smaller room. Yeah, it's super impressive. You just see reminds you of most
if we're talking about some open room back in the day or even present day ones.
Is he ever somebody or mind you of? Okay, I could be a hot take, but like
trees double you know in the way. Okay, yeah, yeah. It's really good one.
I'm afraid to be jumping around a little bit in terms of what not be
latched then coming into the latest ages of this one. Was it just not prepared enough
for a very, very clearly far enough in this.
I think it was just a couple of rounds
whereas JL pointed out they lacked a little bit of firepower.
Like, Julia was the better team on this map.
They were more proactive.
They managed to shut down despite them.
I think also heard them that they lost that third round
after winning pistol, right?
They didn't help their economy or anything along those lines.
And then on the CT side,
just couldn't really convert that one five before that they ended up losing with the
go at the entry and Molodoi really was the turning point that they missed in this game.
The firepower is also just at the other day, I'm very important factor when it comes to
counterstrike if the player is not feeling it and if there's a bit of miscommunication
but if you're just not hitting your shots when you actually pull off his shot you're like,
it's a good example is that that beat up from now, you know, it's essentially that it's
the perfect call. But if you don't convert it and don't win your 50-55, then you will eventually
just lose your rounds. And I think that is one thing that's fewer chains than I think
to put themselves a bit of situations. But Navi obviously also just like a little fire
part to convert the situation they should have converted.
Jell, I'm just curious from your PV. We know that Morage has kind of been a tried and true
map for Navi. Pretty much for as long as time can be, right? Like I remember, obviously you
guys going up against vitality and that color and graph vinyl so many over times and you
end up losing it, right? The conversation is
any different coming off of the map where
it's your choice, you are obviously the favor on it
when you're going into your opponent's map.
Well, you guys are talking about that.
Oh, I hope we're not talking about the first map.
Because if you are, I mean, you're on the wrong path to
just succeed.
But yeah, we've got a different map coming up.
I'll be honest.
It's different.
It's different though, yes.
It isn't fair now.
And I mean, not because either we the best team on the
If you're not the worst team, it just depends how the banana works, banana works out and they've got the case around that to deal with banana.
Would you ever, like a place, would you ever allow each other to just have like a, maybe like a couple of minutes or just get some frustrations out regarding the last map and then turning it into infernal or what's it like.
They don't want to talk about it, we just go straight to infernal and everyone just shut up about the first map or how was that.
I mean, it really depends of how bad of a loss it was. I mean, it depends. What was the reason for the loss if it was mental?
of course you go and talk about mental straightaway,
but it was like the game issue.
It doesn't matter, you'll talk about it after the game.
Obviously, when we talk about a totally right jail,
we always have to talk about banana.
So with Kcerado to contend with what I'm not
be putting up to try and defend that position.
I think that's where Macasia Leon was pretty good working
with the XCB.
That's always a benefit for a rookie player,
to be with the Nigel or just anyone who likes to have
structure on the bomb site and set plays.
and that eliminates the randomness for him a little bit
and having to decide on his own what to do this way.
He's just the tip of the spear for Alexi,
right, he can point him wherever he wants,
but that's going to be a big focus.
When we come for get last time,
Fira did win, but he was that crazy fall
and won, we three.
There's a lot of close rounds.
You know, now we definitely had an opportunity
to close it out to zero in that quarter final.
And I think that's what they'll be saying to themselves,
Like guys, we can still beat them on this map,
doesn't matter if it's their pick.
The series is still not over.
Yeah, I've got to put you on the spot here.
Is this the last time we see Nabi,
here in Krakow, but you believe it in the cutback?
I hope not.
I hope my guys is really prepared to deal with whatever
Fury has got coming his way,
because it's going to be a really, really big fight over there.
Well, it's time to take a deep breath, indeed.
As it could be, Nabi's last right here in the Intel Extreme
Masters, Krakow of 20, 26, only time.
And in Furno, the pick of Furia will tell us going down off this real break.
Hi, this is Basement Wallace, first advertisement and our second drop is it's up, actually,
you're just seeing this, it's up, it's available on the ears of a shop, head up first, go
at a jacket and I'm really proud of it, I'm always having an interesting clothes, but you know,
behind the scenes, how the sausage is made, it's been a lot of fun.
But if you like the clothes, tell me if you hate the clothes, tell me, try them before
you're slagging my hiding, they're really comfy. So yeah, that's my advert. I'm gonna try again.
I'm gonna record another one.
8.
The quest for learning new smokes never ends, let's look at two smokes you can throw
to wrap the A side on it burner.
To throw these, have a buddy drop your smoke in this corner, then stand in their
walls.
This point along the antenna and jumped out of the smoke.
This will block up library and expand flush with the doorway.
For your second smoke while in the same position,
aim at this point along the edge of the cover.
Then jump there.
This one will land inside of the arch.
With these two smokes down, you can take long with a flush or two
and have a good attempt at cracking that A side.
How do you do with pressure?
I like to do that pressure, or is that finish blend?
I actually spoke about it yesterday in the cafe for some reason.
I said that previously my career, there was no pressure, it would be excited to go to every
game, especially with the finished team, but I feel like nowadays it's when I think about
it, I feel more pressure in studio environment than in the area.
I just feel like in the studio, when it's silent, you feel your own thoughts more, like when your team is saving and when you're thinking about the score, all these different things.
I feel just feel like in the area I can always watch towards the crowd, like glance at something or hear the noise, no matter if we're losing or winning.
and I just feel like it gives me more energy and more excitement and you feel the pressure
less.
I see.
What about online games?
Oh my god.
I didn't mean it like that because I remember I really felt pressure, studio games, arena games,
but then I remember we played Astralis, it was 2020-25 at the start from the boot camp.
And that was literally shaking.
Like the first game I had was shaking.
I've never had this in studio or arena.
And do you feel online pressure?
Yeah.
Really?
No pressure.
No, I'm not really sure.
No.
Do you feel studio pressure?
To be honest?
No.
For arena?
No.
Okay.
I really don't have to do that pressure.
Do you have feelings?
Yes.
No.
Only if you are not lying to others like in a role, for example after the break, for the game
it's going to tough always, because you didn't like his shots for a long, sometimes
yeah, but if you are playing with your friends in a role, you don't feel like you're in
pressure.
Mr. Mission.
I think I'm the way like him. Like for example, if you're coming for the break, then you
can feel something, but for example, if you play tournament of a tournament of a tournament, you
are getting used to it, so you don't really feel, even though if you are losing or winning,
Because yeah, I see you.
Pressure is certainly sky-high for Navi.
If they want to survive,
they've got to get through in Fono Fury's pick.
Coming into the series setting a blistering tone
breaking of a large lost streak.
And now these whole tournament is in jeopardy.
So it felt like five lost streak for Furia broken, and up against the very team has
started it back in good at pass.
We now go to inferno.
Well, now we have our own streak their own zero five in the last three months just as
much not ideal.
But if we're breaking streaks, why not keep it up?
It's not if he looked at battle back.
On a CT side of inferno, the battle for banana,
a mainstay and a nest necessity,
as Jail says, coming in.
Two furious pick.
Because it's good as well, cut out from on that T side.
But that's a little bit later.
Russian, that banana, and straight away, this key area of the map falls into Furious
Favour, need onto a Lexi flash just to make life hard for him, and Lexi, when he gives
him a run for their money, it's a numbers game at the end of the day, and with five players
facing him, to might not be enough from the captain.
He's made it interesting, he's made it worth going for here for Narvee, but at the end of the day, 2v3 if full and cut as a smoke, it should not be possible.
You're in wonderful helps out of all the jolly's bite back, bit one be one, Yuri with a bomb, bit moves in.
Yuri Jiggle gets a spot, but he's going to get run down body shield directors and Yuri survives.
Bives, Furia, with that pistol round, and a very cheeky call, you'll notice, Navey had no idea
they had a Nade stat deep Furia, didn't throw any utel, they walked all the way up to top banana,
Navey were not ready for that kind of pace.
I thought they'd at least announce it with some utility.
I saw it stop on this boss fight.
I've never put a stop to this banana regression, spawn some for all maybe as fury
it.
Decide against leaning into this part of the map once they've lost your kinder.
I'll be now feel a bit more freedom.
They're gonna rotate the Lexi away.
Crossfire out here in middle.
He'll be tricky to get past.
Here you go back to probably banana
a little bit later.
All quick to fall in as he's iced out in boiler.
Here we might be able to escape here.
Doesn't need too much, good. It all comes down at getting past the McCarsley.
Okay, Sorato lands a dink. There's a lot of low players here. Only 25 seconds left.
Think she's got more room than maybe he does, but he doesn't elect to punish.
They call his bluff on that plot, and now case Sorato with a chance to reposition.
There's a lot of low players, and now this is very doable for case Sorato.
Back in the start it takes bit to put in down narrow narrow margins
Stop in Brazil start on his way to an ace clutch an easy
And it takes bit to wrestle him down five health between the two case router walks into the prefire bit just spraying the corner
New how close that was new how winnable that was after the first couple clinical shots
But now you pick up a force.
Nice try no meant to be.
Fury a broken back to pistols.
I'm giving you Kinder a gun.
He's going to try and give them an entry.
The spawn if you wanted to go about banana.
Let's see, I'll play with it, Molly in at the top of the car gives you a bit more security.
Nate does great damage as well.
And I might have them think twice about rotating a Lexi away.
Faking the downtime for Yuri's just smoked off long, trying to toy with these players over in mid.
Hope, and I'll make the A-site feel claustrophobic.
Like in the moves that now be a taking over here on A, even though that E-tilt came out
designed to pressure them back into the site and play their crossfires, they just went
and recleared middle. Still they've rotated a fourth player over. Second smoke and a
The force by feels...
It's the way Fury will put this much resources in to just the fake.
That's exactly what they've done.
Fury is selling this hard right now at Alexey,
or McCarsie rather out of position.
Alexey is the only player in B.
I'm a cosy sneaky away.
It's a bit too quiet, a bit too slow right now,
so Fury still have the animal surprise.
For a few more seconds, 25 of a clock.
Alexey buying time is sees that uncrouch,
but he can't get the kill.
the kill.
They're scaling in.
Let's do this first frag, still wasting their time, and their lives is no smoker coffins.
Wonderful, spammed out another, because he will deny a pawn if there's ever an attempt
and a sharpie.
What a toy goes for the kill, elusive lakim, elusive alone, and there's the round for
wonderful stolen right back.
Smoke Spam goes a long way, and hesitation for Fury are cost them.
That's a really positive looking round and turns of you know, now being out of position, relying on individuals, relying on a Lexi.
He threaded it in for buying time, allowing the cars to get there and play the hero.
You know, if this one starts off with a tip that's out force by water open, I can run the risk of ruining your CT side before it even begins.
Before it even begins
See, they'll with the first of many challenges here on inferno
It's never gonna let up though is it
Kinder on a T side following on inferno
This is gonna be a difficult game
to keep up for Navi.
You know, the same sense of fury has come off the back of a lost-reconverage and she played
that best yet.
Imagine Navi of a particular attention to this map.
And knowing they have improvements, much needed ones.
I'm just going to come through.
I think another thing I want to mention is for an organization is near and dear to our
hearts and counter strike as not the right we've been around as long as they have they've
competed in a lot of these I am when a champion's ships and oftentimes when you think
can I be a thinking playoff runs or maybe worse near misses. This would be an incredibly
early exit by their standard.
Yeah, 11 they've played so far they've made chaos in nine of them.
20-20-4, and 20-40.
If you're again failing this game attack, but it is a B. Execute the objective that
desires. Because the alone of his bombsite, Lexi is considering, since again, too good to
be true as a reagro comes through apartments, not even confirmed. Their suspicions as a
third rotation. Fury again may be a little bit too slow. I have to get these entries
and hard as they charge their sight. Really not afraid to milk the clock on this one, a fury
We have a flash!
Oh, I'm out of a lexie!
Howl the promise of the whole round!
In the palm of his hand!
I'm just gonna be a little too much!
I'm even though Norvey arrived for this re-take!
I don't get any shape to do it!
Molly forces this way in a case of roto if he gets away, you can kiss goodbye to the idea
re-taking this sight!
A flash through!
But not liking what they see without that kill to tend them. They never give it a go
Oh, it might get almost all the kills but they're round firmly belongs to Furia
It's certainly hard to leave that site and you feel like you really have to with a
Farm radius
So it's good damage for the RV something that they can capitalize upon in another gun round
I don't want the round, but I want cost, because with any one guy getting out of it, the
By from fury a hit looks pretty rougher on the edges.
Yeah.
I'll tell who won it.
So, for now, V, all is not lost.
I wonder if right now they're not liking how much it feels that they're flying blind in some of these
CT rounds.
The idea there you're able to just get slow burn exact on by fury out through banana.
Maybe you're looking to try and fight for a little bit more map control early here.
The 3-nan B start wonderful, or with the spawn.
Just be the man for the job.
Also a more active start over the wards middles, so that seems to be the change.
flicking a miss out at that wonderful AWP and your King Argers continues holding that
WK.
A crash now towards banana finds this 4v4.
At least stop the spillover round isn't going to be lost yet.
A theory and not without their chances.
Trying to go a bit earlier, a bit pacy but not if you have numbers there.
And high damage done from the grenades is a big problem for Furia.
converting this round now, just got a lot more difficult.
Malloloid feel like he has to crack open a kill on the safe side.
I certainly should not be happy.
Try to have more info, and it's that swinging a meter for a bit
that gives Malloloid the opening and needed that tremendously.
Oh no, too early for the one thing.
He's just won't be right before you very eyes.
Surely that doesn't let Fury down.
Don't know.
Burn to death in his own Molotop and now if Ema goes over the lump,
he can steal this whole round away.
Stop for a moment! It's gonna fall like Kacerato!
We'll have runes to get this bomb planted. Now I'll be can't stop that.
But they've runed up and playing together, closing in quickly on Kacerato's position.
Flash is good, both players blind. He's bought himself a few more seconds.
A moment of reprinting before the big final battle.
And the Cousie puts him down, clutch denied.
Now the hold on.
on that would have been terrified all that, just a lose to case or auto lining you up again,
case or auto, centimeters from the clutch, but he was so low.
A little bit too soon, the fury out trying to go through that molly, for a missed times
it, not when you'd expect from a player his experience, and it does cost you when it comes
down to a 1v1 that you lose, that is the impact kill of the round.
So, now we keep them on the ropes, blood-eaten and bruised, swatting fury apply again.
Dress it new from the cars in aggression that gets punished.
I'm going to credit the trade work in these rounds, they're not letting fury get out with
If he forwards the chance to take the pace out of it,
they are making sure to punish on these entries.
Wonderful. Again, brings his all-po over here towards beat.
And it might end up left out of the action here.
Fury is setting their sights on the apartments.
Long spoke isn't even a great tell,
because a lot of the times that Fury have thrown that in,
it's been to fake this side of the map.
This is where the Ford position on Captain Alexi,
is very very valuable. He's got wonderful in the side car and they're released holding on to this banana control
It will still mean two players are out of position. So this a hold has to be very solid from Ema and Bid
It's very dangerous. Why wouldn't you spam this? You just don't double Molly. Alexis it's in front of this. He can clear everything out right now
You're kind of as a sell the fake and he might pay it
and Lexi spots him, he sends his own on rotation, they know the hits coming.
He was so blind, but goes on clear, and that's a great era!
Bit never even had to fight, just serving as a distraction was more than enough.
And now he gets his as well.
Yeah, they'd be lying for there, he'd put the molly in from pit, so Furia had one goal,
and it was chasing down the supposed only A player.
Oh, did they know their fate was limp?
Can you imagine how much better that would have looked if you can to just stand and Lexi on that kill?
Wonderful to have to stay be.
They might even start to shuffle off that A side.
They've lost four control. They think they're stupid on it.
Great move for a Lexi to get into a high risk, high reward position.
It wins the round of information.
Okay, that's wonderful, but the full indeed hitting hard apparently.
This is after a quiet start to inferno, he comes up with a blinder.
Getting that orb is a whole different challenge, my lord.
RISKIE is life for it.
Because without orb, there is no life for my lord.
to grab the email, it's big, yeah, quite deep though, so no kill, the rifle will make up for
the worst, he model is so nearly dead, like surely they can't do much here, it's a two on three
and even slowing down for this few seconds is allowed, he may get into position, flash is good,
It's a lot of heat that one save.
A lot of almost routed if I fear a lot of close, a lot of nice tries.
But not a lot of to celebrate.
A pistol round with a force they lost to.
And a one man surviving.
Be hit.
All these clutches have been denied by Narvee.
I
Feel like that blade time I had to be about taking a bit more initiative about trying to get the info because ever since now
You know ever since you called it now, you've just been a lot more proactive. They've been the guys making moves
How even that
They'll fake over towards being the one they were able to win is all because it lacks in plays a very forward position committed at the car
It's not giving as much respect to Fury for them to just run their set pieces.
That would have been the fast-tracked disaster for Navi.
They've got a lot of fight left in them in this first half.
Again, another aggressive proactive move in through the apartments.
Oh, that's that?
That was a ding through the wall on the spam.
Oh, three here.
And he's not killed any of them, Yuri.
He's ready for a fight for sure.
Again though, another one of these one-for-one openings.
Navi have had answers every single time.
They've been able to at least keep the numbers even.
Now in this lag time between that opening kill,
Fury, while they're regrouping,
Navi shuffle up the defense.
And it's just been such a b-centric game,
so it's a good gamble to make here for Navi.
I'm going to continue to play active and retake this space.
This is such a coin toss for the flash.
This is massively furious.
Turn a little bit a little later.
Wonderful full blinds.
Committed on the corner has to jump out.
Not by his teammate.
The Utah learning and blinding everyone on both sides and theory.
I know they have one man stuck inside the site.
It's wonderful, all up.
Back at the sight of whether at all to do first shot isn't swing in a mess, and now they're closing in.
Mollidoy quickly dealing with him.
No all paroics.
No round for Navi.
It might have moved in incredibly quickly, but
She's never really been a position to win this.
Smoking his way, three players entrenched in the sight.
Right now feels like he's looking to do maximum damage.
maximum damage because the one thing we've said about Furrier is in the rounds they've
won it's been by super thin margins they have been on the back foot in terms of the
money throughout this entire game and so a bit so I would have dragged a couple to the grave
with him for a moment poppy dead gonna keep Furrier feeling very very broke throughout this first
half. For all in doubt of your attack something you're just not survive so we'd love to
They can't luckily now be done after all that money in Molotoy.
Neither.
Can we hand it that way to be pee from the captain?
So you know, Navi, have the stack in the right place yet again?
It's the re-aggression that is that coin toss.
Landing on Furious Head.
Quits in.
So it's been a great game for Norfolk, but to Furrier have the room to break him at the end
of the hall.
Remember we said back on the rods that the Spike Furrier's lost streak?
We're not to spite for infuriars, I'll strike it with started by Navi.
Well, the last team that the RVB on this map five lost as a go was FURIER.
Funny how that works.
I was in a grand final where they went to 0 up and lost the remaining three maps.
Well, that's not think about that.
The maze exchanged out towards Panana.
Wonderful ends up burning in those mollotops at the car'see.
No way he can survive here falls to a lexium which is the waves of fury are coming through
that top banana smoke it all comes up ravled.
Route Force.
Force that may be Navi's call here in the follow up round they are sent out with just two guns.
Give me quite unexpected to go for any type of a hunt here, so I'm curious if Fury
or even attempt it.
Well, it's not really a chance to build up their own money.
Fury was always on the extra me used to begin with, and I was if you're already there,
if you're already on the reserve, why not do a bit of hunting?
Fury comes knocking!
The chance to remove those guns from play will elude him.
Regardless, it's a streak of two now for Furia and welling with a chance of recovering on the half.
Let's do it through the other wall pouch to make sure it doesn't get anything extra.
I think they just heard him crawl no war.
The wonderful does have the money.
Probably someone dead is handed over.
Oh, aggressive move.
This shot.
Wonderful how did opportunity there?
All that are even slow by the Nade.
One of these openings that just passes now, be by.
Through the smoke, oh my goodness, everyone's fine.
You can turn around and still chase.
Through the smoking game, Alexey throwing caution to the wind, and maybe the round as well.
Bomb has fallen, but it's not a problem for Fury to pick it back up and put it down.
This is a save for Nave. Another decisive round on this big bomb site.
You can do popping through a smoke with a perfect flash, so good. It blinded all three players.
That's enough to get Fury back on the board and back in this T-side recovering from a slow start to the game.
6-2 lead evaporates
One gun in this save that you don't want to lose more than all the others and it's this AWS P if full's eight hands now
You may not get to don't want again and they're final rounds of this half
You're either gonna second try here and I'd say it's worth going for
I think they're waste, get out, it's not hunt, I think Fury should definitely be hunting
harder, Fury should be going out, balcony, because they have all the money in the world,
so last round of the half Fury could have removed guns, not being able to,
Easily by pretty nicely, even a kill could have made it a lot worse.
You know, even though we've been crediting the Navi trades, the area they fall behind it
in this game is the openers.
Sure, you've always been able to bring it back to a 4B4, but you've never been the guys
setting it up 5B4 after rippered these rounds.
I wonder if there's some chances in that last one to do so, and so you'd love that
orb to find something here, some way of creating an advantage for Navi, he's just not
in the right place, they play a heavy gamble out towards his peace hike, leaving that orb
to hold onto mid.
So I say he's not in the right place.
He takes setup back into Ward's top banana.
Oh my god.
I had them leaving.
Nose that they've just cleared this.
Now I head of the U.T.L. as well.
That's how he goes fishing for the opening.
And they heard a Lexi. They know he's out of position.
And they're wise to his tricks as well.
It's been many a smoke push again.
A Lexi was getting ready for it.
I have the flash, it never even makes it that far because they've seen it one too many times on these beards
And the roots will play right through the smoke he finds his way into this half. Oh, you cannot hear a beat
Six to two down
Even this out there is no winning this round of it
Yeah, so much time ticked off this bomb and so fury at and the four-round streak that is saved his tea side
the abuse of this B-site. Constantly a problem and one that Navi just couldn't solve.
Fury at level out and any doubts you had get quelt Navi getting cool into question as they
can't stop that streak. That tournament lifeline is hanging in the balance.
I want to say a lesson was probably not the interview we were expecting, but I just
really wanted to see you.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Tell me.
Are you superstitious?
Oh, my bad.
Yeah, I wouldn't say so.
might be some minor details but I try not to be.
Okay, I mean I wanted to uplift you because the previous time we faced spirit and candidates
they won us in groups, no we won them in groups and then afterwards yes they will us in
the Southern France but now they will be in the next time we faced them but most lives
are going to be the Southern final or the quarters doesn't matter I think you're going
to beat them.
I mean, do you believe in that?
Now that you say so and you trust it so so much, I'll go with that.
But you know like most of all like superstitious stuff,
it's more like I have a lot of necklaces.
And usually I wear like a lucky charm or something
and when we want an event I kind of like try not to wear it anymore.
Like that was for the event, something like that.
I see, so that's why you keep changing those necklaces.
as in 2010, if I remember, because I copied you a lot of that, like, not copied, but I took inspiration from some jewelry from you, and then the next time we come, you don't have the jewelry anymore, like, oh, we're not brothers anymore. But regardless, you're facing fury now. Probably not the easiest opponent to expect an lower bracket, but coming back to the superstitions. We do, as we as none, we really do love a lower bracket run. I mean, would your rather face fury now, or later than the line?
I say now, why not, because I think that no matter what, we did a very long bootcamp
in order to win these strong teams.
What could be better than getting over this game, winning Furi, and going from there,
like we need confidence to build up the tournament and to be confident in the playoffs as
well.
All right, thank you for the interview, my heart's with you and go back in again
Very long boot camp leading into this with the goal of making a run
But for now, if they do want to survive the night, it's gonna start on in furno
They put up a commendable effort early on on this map only for Fury to go and undo it all with a relentless onslaught of be hits
The tie this game up at six of peace
Now V
I've got to get back to their winning ways. They want to try and start strong here with a strong cool in the pistol
About a util between wonderful and a Lexi. I see what they've got planned for Fury
You can just such a great read of that T side, but it's going to have to be a T method now for
Furrier if they want to keep up this streak.
If they want to keep an obvious streak, five losses in a row on inferno.
I like to see takes the wheel.
Long smoke and they change their mind.
something who knows what it was that a midground decision to go back to be in a
pierce to be the right cool. There is only case or auto home.
I got the jolly. This is classic. He's going to try and get the long range one
tap and then swap off to the jolly's as the execute comes in.
So Smokes go down case or auto weights for his one little kill to change the
It was until those flashes go off to start spamming, hoping he couldn't bait them in to come for the hunt.
You know...
Sorry.
Oh, they saw him.
Ema...
Thought he was coming in with one hell of a backstab, and now when they try to press your case, they're right.
That's what they do all these, but they're there for, but he never gets to fire them.
They cannot fast in through, but aren't it? This one's all chaotic.
leading the charge on this re-take like you back on the T-side he'll make it pass the spawn
Now flying forward you're respond out one
Alex and tucked in has a crossfire has support not alone in this battle he's got
McCarsie here with those doorbarats laying waste to purier and with Molinoy dead
back up an honor pistol round has a boat put on it now be
Will get through that round and live to tell the tale you do just wonder what what
causes that changes it a bit of prep as an immigrant. I have apartments, nobody here. There's
no seto. It doesn't feel like no if he had really much information to make that decision.
They could have peaked porch perhaps and seen no one and realizing that to tell,
Fury or stat, let's go back to be because it looks he wanted to throw a long smoke.
Great decision to not. I'll be going back into the weakened site.
They profit. pistol outcomes in.
Now pistols have not been the problem in this series 4 and RV, they won both on Mirage
and converted.
It still wasn't enough and even when they fell to Furious first pistor on in Fono, they
won the Force.
So essentially they've converted all of them.
Despite that, it's still them staring elimination in the face.
This conversion carries weight, significance for Navi, would not be a good time to lose to this rag-tag fight.
You know, as well, something else you're going to contend with in this second half is Maldadoy.
Akon is weapon-a-choice, right? But of a non-factor on the T-side never really, much to contend with, C-T-Side can be a whole different feeling.
I don't know, we'll be coming out. Just a question of when.
Fiery, I would love it next round, but...
Can I have to win an unlikely one here?
Been on attack and...
Back to A and then back to B again, they're just all over the place.
Trade a position, you can't re-box B.
Bomb now goes mid.
Now B just constantly changing their mind.
Bomb is now going B, they just can't keep it straight.
20 seconds through the smoke you can to hear is coming.
I'm just gonna give up the end of the game. Now they know where this bombs trying to end up and there's still two players in the site itself
He killed his death isn't the be all and end all this up. Hope here case the rider's five seven really drives out on home
wonderful and McCarsley they had seconds to get those kills and they'll come through
Narrow margins on this one but not the get it done. Oh, that was terrifying
couldn't make up their mind constantly changing the direction, fakes on fakes, and even
though you fear to get all the info, your Kinder and Spawn no kills to post.
And that flash set up only good for one of these, survived, converting all four pistols
in this series so far. The prospect of dust too, enticing, as Navigab against Folico.
Well, it's an open and eagle of solder back and bloody dead. Let's get that all power, let's get you
You tell behind it, jury a need it.
Flash played 4-fierrea, she's down at 3 but on it, cause the enclosures should be able
to just come to play deal with them.
There you go, nice old start pad around!
You know these, you ones are out the way.
And you hear Lexi being very, very vocal.
Nice cool some good rounds in this game.
Sure, if you're a head of a bit of comeback, but thank you to some of the highlights.
Good stacks in place for the RV.
Could bait set up on A, a Lexi-plained aggressive banana behind the wood wall, had a good grasp on the second map.
Keeping it up into the T-side. All of those are patience, the potent, on the porch.
I need to show that Flash will get him off the angle, not for long.
Oh, do I.
Last thing for this kill, so it's for all the time.
I need to push up that, but blind it bit finds it.
What was that a bit of a rough map here?
Only three kills to his name and very, very tunnel visioned on the promise of finding that man
That man had botched.
It's up giving it away.
He can't use a low-nout towards Bonnison.
Can't be too risky in the hold here.
Please, it just long enough to get the info.
Slow the roll up through Bonnison as well.
And Fury don't move a muscle.
Even though he can use her these footsteps,
knows that coming towards his sight.
They're reluctant to dismantle this A-hold.
I think we're seeing him in a coffin.
It happens, it kind of tells you he's alone right now, I feel like he'll be on my turn.
I got a jump on this.
You can, you can, there has to go through the smoke and multi-kill.
Well, this round is chalked and he doesn't know.
They've walked in.
They're all the way through the side, the bomb is going to come through.
This round already over.
Fury just haven't realized.
Penny drops, steps made, but they're in deep and the causing takes a headshot on that day.
Read it and weep.
Not even the save is a certainty here for Furia.
That's a morodly brings his orp, but he doesn't even get to fire it.
around you leave feeling very very happy about you know you you trusted you
got on that you trusted that they're so low-holding how this massive opportunity
to remove all the guns and around that fury at never even attempted. Oh
it's really ugly trying to get out through the apartments and so nothing comes
at that hunt. Oh they were gonna jump in with that high flash and risk
everything to take those guns away. Even one kill. I've carried so much weight in
around like that because if you're a saved 3 they can drop 2 they can
help you buy oh that was you can't even see him
he can do this scan off his B site as Navi Sneakin
and the well cool T side again where Lexi has stepped up as an individual as well
remember back on the rod when almost 10 rounds without a kill bombsite was getting
abused.
Well now he's second of his team.
Second in the server.
Triple V stack afforded, and it's also with an aggressive Molledoy out towards Middle,
spotting for that early info.
Chance of the opening fight.
A train in, but a Lexi plays to evade and gets ahead of that utel from the furious
squad.
Think down range and he can do a well-fined, the wounded captain out on banana falling
holding on.
It's hating this, but for how much longer, Flash will force him back.
Well, he get away!
Wonderful goes no further, uncertain as to whether it is just that one remaining player
over here at B.
Oh, for long.
Attention, now turns to B in the apartments.
Pressed, now V moving around to join him, and in this exact same moment, Yuri has gone
away from his position at the A site.
Molled always in big danger right now.
He's got no idea.
I just get executed from the apartments.
Midplay comes out first.
Yuri trying to cover spots the absolute fury and might know what's happening, but they've lost their grasp over middle and they're losing their grasp on the round.
It's not me, fully in great game right now.
This is a back-to-back round so they've walked into the site with just one player.
Yuri take big risks, big gambles, you can do alone on B,
Mordoy alone on A, and both times Navi, find that key entry to clean it up, 11 to 6, and a
streak looks to be broken. Fury have not got a grasp on this CT side,
can barely blame him with all the resources Navi through it B in that round,
the Fury are panicked on the rotation, and yes they trust him all the way, but
So, guy doesn't have eyes and the back of his head.
It doesn't hit his shot either, he had one chance.
Because it's been given a lot of help in one other, it's two side, and it's all worked out for Navi.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
So see here to the road of Fuhrer is a far-out.
Great needs.
I'm more of an aggressive setup this time over towards the apartments you would love to
try and find bit work in its way around the exterior of the map.
This time he's even got back up, Emory and Toe feels like now he may be expected to
of a challenge on this app's man and again another gamble brewing for
fury after taking that contact in the apartments he can't out he's just going to
go get you till
mind
flashes full and back in
alright you will be here still now believe in their options open man in these
mid rounds never over committing never getting too bogged down or attached to one
idea.
I'm still in a state of blocks waiting out towards middles. So if my
boys have to repel this hit, they can change their mind and that's what
they're going to have to do. Macauzy has to play like the wrecking ball
here and reopen this round teammates now join him and Lexi elects to go through
first line up Macauzy with the reply. Wonderful, can't find anything and
Can our stops to be here in its tracks?
Yeah, great round, at least from Fury.
Finally, come here through on the CT side.
More doys looking a bit shaky at the moment.
And what they hit is one.
And the akin to it feels like he just has to end it.
Four committed.
Oh, like there was a clutch brewing if you didn't finish that kill under one to four.
First round at some time here for Fioria.
The grenades started off because he clearly easily fed to the wolves he can
die behind the wolves.
Police stopped the bleeding, right?
That's what you're gonna think about it.
5 rounds street for now, the ports were closed.
He's still a long way away from being truly comfortable.
I really wanted to steal those kills in but on a bit.
I'll be relentless coming right back.
It's a risky position.
I can't even never want to quit on this bar, but I kind of walk it away.
I still want a bit of YouTube to block this side.
It's like Fury, you're almost want to sell this idea, but there's a B stack, right?
In fighting for banana for so long, trying to hold this space, you've seen a number of 3B
starts and they're hoping that that's the read now of E. Habers well, end up playing
into the stack on the A-side, but that doesn't look to be the port of call for now of E.
They just want to follow through and I'll be ready to super well, I'll just walk back in
not the expiling util to announce their presence, but if you realize there's 30 seconds
if they're here, they've got to go.
Here's the push.
You can go, playing it forward, catches that first man in, full control on the spray
while blind, and he gets his follow-up so little time, and he can just continue to whittle
them down.
No road left to run in this round, time decides it.
Gap continues to close.
If you wait, you can't just go to a pandalear.
That's got more ammo than I've ever seen, just spamming full mags through smokes,
and still more for later.
Furious squeeze every second of that value out of the composition that they possibly could.
They go back to be with a single smoke.
That's all they have to block.
And it is the perfect better utility to put down at sub 30 seconds to keep Navey out of this game.
Other things that's actually like, deceptively tricky now about this scoreline.
Even though you feel like you're really close to winning this map, if you're Navey.
Furrier across the last four rounds of play, they won two of them.
Keeping three players alive in the first, four in the second, making money off of that.
But even the two rounds they lost prior there were those three nine saves that went unpunished.
They now have a lot of money building up on this CT side, so you're not gonna get that one golden round that goes on to win you the game
This is a grind for now. We all have a sudden. It's two rifle rounds
And while that's all they've been able to plant success it on this T side thus far
Deceptively close indeed
It's Fury a finder second wind. Oh, do I
Okay, great grenades two players on 40
They know if you're up to that's it for sure
And Furia lucky that no one's ever challenged them but
The same time smoke spam goes nowhere.
My little boy has been very patient on this CT side.
Probably feel like you want to get involved.
Not have the chance to.
Taking a similar line.
He takes him up.
He's not really had that.
Chance to perform on this CT side.
He said one round will they really walk into him.
There's like, Norvie might finally check out what this ASI has installed.
So eyes on Molotoy and heads up.
And he's been accounting that eventually one of these 8 plays is going to come in for
quite some time.
They've been playing AAA off the rip and he lost few rounds and well, wonderful doesn't
miss that one.
It sinks his shot right in to Molotoy, tagdiri in that car.
Let's make it pretty wild, and now he's softened up down here in the pit.
You can now rotate it over Alexie, I think he heard the step there, and now he sees the
clash lob there.
Tees up, case there are on shore, but he can't accomplish a thing even with the flashbang.
They're trying to help it.
You can not go one on the long side, and you're only down here in the pit, not knowing
about goes unchecked.
He can does even play through the smoke.
This is all getting chaotic.
That miss sales are past wonderful might make up for it.
They've got to stop following 1v1 and want to focus on the right now, but not able to get
to cut out in time.
The professor teaches them a couple of tricks there with that 1v3.
1v3 in seconds is team, we just get melted, perfect flash bangs and fallen, appears
out of nowhere.
What is it with this guy and this side and another clutch against Na'Vi?
The clock doesn't do it this time, it's falling right on time with the round win.
This comeback keeps going.
11-6 and not the Arbroke.
And he's now feeling very, very confident.
They didn't have the two confident.
It's eager.
I'll go up until that point.
It was five kill game from falling.
The Greshet down there three minutes, handing over an M4, McCaw's King.
He's using it to pick a fake.
Oh, no!
Through the apartment's own car!
They threw it away.
They would give it a free route, eco, pistols,
fury of run at them.
You can know you're gonna play through.
And that's exactly what they want.
It's exactly what they want.
They're deactivated.
Him and McCars, they double kills a piece.
What a waste.
And after the 1v3 from Fallen,
he tries to come in with a bullsee call
to really drive home that they lost their big chance
to win the map.
only to give them another.
Oh, V just don't care in this round.
They feel like they have nothing to lose in running out
fury. And so when fallen gives them a killed
downbed, they know they have chaos through the smoke in
middle through apartments.
Navigate everywhere.
They take every gap.
And it's a bit of a signature move for fallen.
It's a bit of a signature move for fury.
when they win that round that's supposed to win in the game that's supposed to make it so
where they're making the comeback happen.
They'll try and throw you a super aggressive one just to get in your head a bit, just to flex
and it's letting them down here.
That's, yeah, to see Fallon do it as well, he's confident for a reason, but that is just a crazy
move to play up against the eco and I mean, no one else makes up for it.
This is where the early mention of the money could try and bail fury around at this spot.
The idea that you're not getting a freebie, even with the previous one coming out of a
full in clutch, they will still get a strong buy on the board to remain competitive.
But they're now relying on a three round streak.
That's the best they've managed to do on this entire CT side.
It's just three round.
They've got to replicate that now, starting with this slightly weaker buy.
I thought it's just a crypt in this game. I mean he's had like one or kill all CT side
and some tags, some misses and a lot of waiting around as
not be focused on being a car's eat jumping
you can't not punish because he won't overdo it. He waits for the util to supplement this play
The two big heavy hitters of either squad, you can't doubt versus McCarzy has been one hell of a fight to watch over here
But he can't help but feel like whoever wins that head-to-head puts their team on track to win the round
For Navi that would mean sealing the deal on Inferno break in this last streak and extending play all the way on a dust too
Maybe even saving their tournament life line
Because he has been dead first a lot though just by his great numbers
It's often just been traded by Navi that has won them around. He's taken a space though fearless aggression
and they burn out a lot of you to have no idea this was all by design. Furious still
read it right moving a second. Over towards B or A rather. Molodei again, he just
can't afford to miss they need him 28 on the clock. Stack might be here, but it gets so
much easier if that connect. Need a four Molodei. It doesn't. And now they're out in
middle. I've seen running a mark running up the long side. Backstabbing. Molodei
When it's up for the second time and no
The thing else from all the doi
Yuri holding on
Gonna dig the gnaws this next fight
Decides it all
That plan just goes down in time
You can't out versus bit
For the map
And you can't out's miss this opportunity
Give it a shot on the headshot I go
And you're gonna lift to regret it
No feet
Stay alive in Crack of
What a game
Wanna come back
For Furia, Belly, that was meant to be all thrown away from an aggressive mid-take.
Not be punished.
Great calls for Alexia Cross's second map.
They break their lost streak.
Five in the row.
Not via back and dust decide to get eliminated from crack off groups.
Not be certainly not going down without a fight and we certainly have ourselves again.
Both teams trading each other's map pick.
and does student build side career, progress is on here in Brackles.
I just want to get a pose check throughout that one, jail from you.
Was that an easier watch than Raj?
I was very excited. I actually had my heads up off.
I just watched this yet, and I'm a bit one-be-one.
And I could hear it by the comments and by the seriousness of it's face.
I didn't see the game, but I just knew he was going to learn.
Yeah, it was incredible. I mean, now we want to show you that they're not going to go down without a fight.
they keep fighting on until the end of the bidder and now take it into a third now you
know make sure that they get another shot at and the limit if you are it's going to be
feeling good especially when they looked up on a certain little bit of proportions on
their own map in the rush. I sure they felt Deja Wu there for a second fallen with another
1v3 on CT side so it's always happening again luckily he decides to throw it all away with
that push down mid. I'm getting a little older than that one. I also just had to have a little
the book brain for it. I'm kidding. I don't mind the aggressive call after that. Maybe someone
just a little bit more mechanically skilled should be the point to manual and someone else has
the best phone call it. Let my man throw flashes. I'm good thanks. Let's go back to the first
time, because there was a little bit of a back and forth there jail. You've picked out something
Yes, we got around five just like looking like a normal default both CTs and T's fighting for banana control
And then you see little by little Navi is getting pushed away from the spana
And I think it is really important what to do next is
They tried to fight waste furious you to but in the end
They managed to lose banana but he became a very smart call to gamble for a and in case they go be
They're gonna go insane and have four five rifles going to the next round
Did you abskler? Alex, we realize it's B.
It comes back.
Doesn't make it in time.
And...
This still try and try.
You see, there's no more options to win the run.
Did...
We got a couple of kills, and then they said, let's do our save.
But let's get some extra extra extra targets before we do that.
And you can see, it gets them one kill.
And then the second one.
And then eventually, they get the first kill.
And that leaves you with a single A key and more economy on the rest of the Furia.
And look what that does to their money.
They have 3 galleels, 2 acres going into full by versus an op and 4 m4s.
And of course, they have slim chances to win their round.
They lose this round and then the next round, instead of going eco,
if you were decide to go to your first by,
into 5 rifles again, they lose the round and then they force to eco.
And that next Navi freakills.
And that's why they had 6 CT rounds on in third round.
That is really where these type of decision making of.
Sure, you've already considered the wrong.
You know, in a position where you can actually win that one out,
but you can actually make it in a better situation
if you're in the future, if you're getting extra facts.
And as you mentioned, it's all about the economy.
One thing is that they have poor guns,
but it's also just the fact that now the price is also in fewer.
I know that they will be able to be broken
if they don't convert the next round.
And it's just, if these type of small decision
that you can make as a team that will benefit you in the long run,
instead of just having, because if not,
How they would have just thrown themselves into this, try to retake a situation they
was always already pretty impossible, then they would be on the downs and they could
even have been on 5G.
Whoever disagrees that that's the best play in this round doesn't know ball, right?
And there's teams out there that would be like, Kim, it's 4G4 and we're right there and
we have some U-TIL and you know, or a 3G4 or whatever, but just look at this core line.
It's 3-1 and you have the economy and they don't, right?
Like it's first to 13, not first to 4 rounds, right?
So, you think about that in the way J-J-A, JL,
specifically describes the title,
it's like, about the next one.
The Three dormiles, obviously the disadvantage
when it comes to the fights and MI6Ls did lead to a place
in Kyoto on TV and the Back Of Dead,
andmen took all the rounds the theory
of the objective, and they were all gun rounds,
by that time they built such a large economy
and they saved a couple more times
when they were losing rounds to the end of the Habs
so they gave themselves the most opportunities
to win as many rounds as possible.
There's one thing just giving them the round and there's a whole lot of thing giving them the round and your economy
The same time as well. I'm just really curious as I've obviously never played on a protein
Who is it that's calling those saves?
Is it always getting a meter and what's he calls it?
You are just following him. Absolutely. Is it plays in a situation like a little bit more insight on that?
Someone who's in in does I want to understand what's going on?
They they're not acting on impulses they understand what they need to do at the correct moment
But usually we give this responsibility to the dead player because he has the overview of the whole map
and you can see, oh, we've got no chance here.
Maybe there's a slight chance we could pull it off here.
And if you don't see a chance, you say, guys, let's say.
And then there are still a team who's falls back.
And so, totally makes sense.
I just wanted to look at the other side of the coin.
Very briefly, it's a small, serious map pick.
And it felt just way more labored than the first map of Mirage,
but with a P take away from, I guess, the negative side of Mirage.
Just really bad starts.
That killed them, you know, they win the pistol,
but they lose the second round, immediately.
So their economy is in the bin.
and then they win this one, get reset one more time,
and in the second half two,
not being able to get going.
I think they ended up winning seven gun rounds
in this almost all, but one round in this game
was a gun round for them, but unfortunately,
because they struggled to win consecutive rounds,
it's key times, ended up having to have by an equal
a bunch of times, and still was a competitive game,
but Navi added them out.
Any other takeaways from that beat up?
What?
I think it's also come down to the whole rematch thing, right?
It's fewer kind of goes into the mindset now with the fact that they pay, we can really
win the rush, then we're in a really good spot to close at the series potentially too
zero.
It's a Navi's hand now to go into the firms who kind of figure out how they are going to
approach this business.
Furious map pick, and it's a little bit bigger.
It happens more than I'd like to see that actually opponents pick it like they actually
Convert the show's map pick and I don't know if it's because people think it's going to be hey
We've actually just won our opponent now. It's going to be easy and then they kind of flip the the switch of being
Super focus of whatever is on the on the rise and but fury obviously
Didn't really look too much like themselves and this one compared to how good they actually approached and rush
So there's definitely something on these have changed for the chance to go into those to try and get back to how they played on the first
Yeah, I'm sure you'll play for us. We do dive into that the map of dust too
But before we do that, Jell, I hope you don't hate me for this next question, but I'm not saying this because it's a guarantee that we won't see Nave.
It's a possibility that they're going to get eliminated here, so I just wanted to go through each player one by one and get up straight from the horse's mouth.
What they are like as individuals and what they're like on the server, like what you see their best attributes.
Can we start with bit because he's a guy that even when I do interview with him, I never really get to break too much into his character.
What's he actually like as a person?
I've been a bit first of all, it's a very reserved guy, outside the server, very reserved, but inside the server, the amount of insights and
Small intricacies, you can show you on the map and he's actually there to help you. He wants to be
You to be part of his play. He always in what is in that sort of a little bit and that's why I'd play with him again.
What about wonderful? He's also a little bit more soft.
Actually, it's the opposite way of a bit. Wonderful. With his friends, it's very outgoing, very, very fun to be around,
But in the server he likes to be locked in like
He rarely smiles even if it's a good round. Of course he screams a nice whatever fist bump you, but he's always locked in
100% of the Jordan. Okay, Amy. He's somebody that I feel like he likes to have a little bit of a chat about some good conversations with him. What's he like?
I'm amazing goofy a person of not even sure
It means one of those guys where he would never refuse whatever you offer and it'd be like you want some table tennis just of course
Do you want to go karting? Yes, do you want to go to the story? Yes, I want to you want to look at this play
When watch this demo, yes, of course
He's he's always down to do stuff your teammates and that's his best attribute finally just a small one
Alexie be go to ask about him who actually is a leader not just inside the server
But outside the server as well. He always points to the correct direction of
He shares his wisdom with you. If you know what I mean okay
Okay, well it's time to stay for Lexi B can indeed lead his troops to a W here, otherwise exit from the tournament is what lays on the horizon.
It's going down, third map of thus to answer this short break.
Hi, this is basement dwellers first, advertisement, and our second drop is it's up actually,
You're seeing this, it's up, it's available on the air-sell shop.
Head of first go at a jacket, I'm really glad that it.
I'm always at an interesting close, but you know, seeing the behind the scenes,
how the sausage is made has been a lot of fun.
And if you'd like to close, tell me if you hate the clothes,
tell me, but try them before you're slagging off.
I think they're really comfy.
So yeah, that's my advert.
I'm gonna try again.
I'm gonna record another one.
The dispatch is back and looking better than ever.
I get to know the refining of the wheel!
This season, it's bigger deliveries.
I think you go.
Bigger personality.
In between, why are you talking?
In bigger problems.
Try it!
We'll feature in special guests.
Oh, God!
Alex, what the hell is happening?
And of course, we've seen you know that.
Is this really necessary?
Third is...
I don't know!
You!
You can't move with your wishful.
The dispatch, the all new season, premier's February.
He's a zombie, come, come, come, come.
We're going.
Is he disposed?
You have his work for city.
To city.
I'm talking.
Fresh, all right.
My spammy is coming.
I'm on my city.
I'm on the fresh.
Oh, my coffee's here.
Are you tea coffee?
I need to.
I have a friend, guys.
I have a friend.
What's your aim on the area?
Let's run the hatch come.
Off in the city.
Nice, nice, nice.
That's all.
That's it.
Pirate in.
Info.
One colossal, one colossal, one!
Taku.
One colossal, one much.
A zebrist with a dragon.
He was at the top, he was at the top.
Taku.
I don't have any advice!
Damn, he was 24, I should have finished him off.
Pause.
No, no, no.
I'm not going to get a shot from the sky.
I'm going to look for his smoke left side.
Make sure it's full of sharpness.
He's going to be going monster.
You're going to be spamming this smoke because you're actually going to cross it.
And I'm going to go against the cross.
Okay, got it.
Make sure you understand.
Cross it, dude.
He's really good.
It's only 7-1, we can win boys.
It's just a small adoying year e and a 2v4 now and this is where you wonder if that communication
will come into play.
We're gonna finish up right here.
Feel flash for him.
Oh, that's what it's doing.
Okay, alright.
Okay, go.
Go, go, go!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Boom!
Guys, I understand what's the boom.
Okay, you guys still work.
You guys still work.
Both squads have now broken their losing streaks on each other's maps to open up this elimination
game.
This one's gone the distance all the way on it to dust too.
But now V, this would be...
Now worst finish at this event in over a decade since 2014, if this is where they go out
now.
A fury, well they thought after breaking that mirage, streak of losses that they were on
it to bigger and better things here, a chance it revenge for their shortcomings at the
major.
One of these squads gets to realize the dream of continuing to fight for that spot in the
playoffs.
The other goes home empty handed and a long way away.
has been too really competitive for maps in this series when you consider either of these teams
having success on their opponent's picks, or both of them do today and now we go to Dust2
which is more familiar, especially for Furia, to finalize this series to see who will be going home
with nothing, with disappointment.
The talking point here for me is Mollidoi started the series off with an absolute blinder
look like he was just going to drag Fury over the finish line, kick it and scream him
without opening performance on the rise. He was a non-factor on inferno, a heart
amount for the AWP. Here on Dust2, this is his chance to retake control over this
game.
That's all anyone will remember, the end of the series whether you can eliminate your opponent.
Whether you go out with a whimper, bit refuses, pushes right through that Molotov with a
The perfect flash and find the 5v3.
You can now try to make some moves to see that Navi are pre-empted.
This is an undistainment. They've got five players ready to swing and bit one shy of the ace.
More than delivers in this pistol round.
He's been the pistol hero for Navi at the same time.
He's already had a pistol ace. Why not add to it?
But four have to do
Loves those strawberries just what I'll be need at the right time on CT side dust too
full and scout. See, you can die. Trying to get more out of the squad, trying to
emphasize that it's about playing together listening to a fool in.
It's great that you know, you can't just say that as well right now how he's such a
Consistence second call in this way a second drop shot
3D Eagle head shots. It's round is on is he ready for my carzy
This was the guy that fully took control over dust to over in further rather
Well, it always making an early case for himself here on dust three kills on this Eagle
But the job is far from over and forked away. They're both walk back in jump spot to spot him
And now they start to give chase bit moves in and stops.
Molotoy's heroics in their tracks.
How's the UreD smoke in his way?
So it might never matter if he tries to come through this.
He's surely a dead man.
With bit in the car's he just focused forward.
And no one moving a muscle, even a re-smoke in the only option
the UreD is to play it forward right in it to Narby's hands.
So I've relieved that for wonderful impeccable shots that matter not from Molladoy
Couldn't even get the plant off of it Molladoy on the site proved too much
These were sickening shots
Team just too far away to capitalize on it
It's he bitten I'll play and scare either in that situation there, right? That's a Molladoy with hot hands three kills deep on an eco round still just chases him down
down. It doesn't have a nasty, doesn't eagle on him.
And that's a temptation. Enough of fury up.
trying to count some of his T-side straight to the B-side.
Right, it could just get locked out of the picture altogether here with the CT smoke falling
in.
It must be panicking.
It's somewhat here.
It's got multiple smokes.
It's a gamble, the one way, but.
I need even if you wanted to change this setup, you were a hard commit, and you
to it now. The only way out is through essentially for these four guys on A whether that's scrapping
through mid-smokes or pushing the long doors. These are the options they've got and Alexey's
going to go with the latter catching Fallen as he moves back in at the top of middle and now Alexey
ends up behind it and he lines. That leads them to just forge forwards and into this solo
behold. Better the top of the board. Not able to get out with anything. We said these rotates
three-met would prove tricky at best.
And the case is a rotto here,
to shore up the defense,
it was meant to be a safe round.
Two kills in an instant,
Adam and Casi may be changed,
the tune of this.
Oh, they're going with a reply.
Smokes in the way, and he holds on.
Get to the spot on one default to Boot.
There's one to four, one to attend this.
You know you've done damage.
You know you've bought them low.
But it's all tasked to 1b2 at this b-side the best of times right now smoking his way
locks off access.
Wonderful place in!
Oh, he's got the cover!
And so no heroics from the RV on that b-side retake fury has shut it down.
Wow, just seconding from Kcerato and Middwell. He gets molly flashed,
boxed into a corner that eyes on him and he's still able to waste all that time and take
one with him.
Big defensive kills from Molotoy as Alexi comes through the smoke.
Molotoy needed that instant headshot, both players very low.
Instant long.
Good spawns for it.
They'll play right through and even then I'll be at players here not whether they're hanging
around once that corner spoke to him once they've lost the control.
It is an all in long to fury at the end of anyone anywhere else on the map, so they're
only real option here is to see this one through to the very end.
Wonderful Scout should be the only thing that can stop this play though.
No flashes on their side of the map to come through the smoke or turn fury as fate.
It's not even a smoke down yet.
Finally comes in a little later, but there's the bombs seen on the back crossing in there
making it to all to sight.
Very little garlic can do right now.
Hope for chaos.
That's an open up for wonderful.
Five-seven of emery minerals up for another.
These smokes are causing your pack problems.
Try to contain, my daughter's gonna pump it up, fresh mag, and they just keep on chasing him on these pistols.
Yuri, one on three, around the fury of women to have in the bag. Now, rest on the shoulders of just one man.
And look at the set-up, he's gonna play into, soon as that scout takes the contact, everyone comes swinging. That is ex.
Absolutely closure of the long control.
And now V, you said they needed some chaos while they caused it by dropping all those smokes in the site, blowing open to one and CT, they had every fight they wanted.
Five-seven since it's too good. You don't get a second chance, you don't get a second to think.
Pops a couple of quick headshots. And suddenly, Furia, don't have the ammo for the amount of novice players.
So for a straighting start of the game here for Furrier,
we're even walking into an empty beep or a warm-up beehive sight, barely get out with the round.
But now we're nothing to show for that.
T-side.
Not a negative end sight.
No, I mean, essentially you've kind of lost out and controlling the early game if you don't
win this force by round now.
That one's so important just to get you off to a good start.
You lose this one, you end up going 5-1 down before guns next, make it appearance you're already lagging behind in a big way.
So, last one was pivotal, this one even more important, if there ever was a time to do more with less, it's now.
Wonderful has tackled the scalp. One more shot, we're going a long way, miss though.
I'm burning out, rifles have to come bail in, wonderful gets through with the US people for a while.
and done by the force by already kicking up a fuss, bomb, make it in, undeniable,
Nate's not enough, you can't do follows, and just like that, Fioria, do hold on to the early day.
So you'd like to think, it's getting messy, but you can't finish it through the smoke.
And so 5-7s to tech 9s, the pistols do it right back.
That one feels rough, man. I mean, wonderful. It's got the worst weapon for the
hold and is the only guy with any type of output.
That feels like a huge swing and a miss. But now I'll be wonderful wanting to leave a
bit of a mark on this series. Come up three. Tons the hero Alt.
Hmm, why not, bit of kale to game right now.
So often sitting back and trying to set up the rifles on this team.
This round is all about wonderful.
So, it's ugly on the rifle.
The kinder has, yes indeed.
And no support second player backed up off of one scout caught the open all perfect acting that it's hard
All right, you learn where the Op is you learn where the majority of players are for Navi, but now that smoke comes down in front of you and you don't want to go running in a bit five seven
surely
The option they go for and he gets out with a big chunk of damage
Man down in this post-plan and the bombers leave it made it OB
It takes that smoke falling in the door before falling can do it and that's wasted even more time for fury
Allowing Navi to get that much closer or tunnels might be constricting here for Navi
You're as expecting a he's not gonna peek out from the window time getting wasted by Navi walking
That realization comes in fury can fight for middle, but it's a passive McCarthy holding on
Hema has to be the hero.
What has to scope in?
That actually gets Yuri on the tunnels.
They know now that two players coming in from that direction won't matter, clean finish
out of Navi.
This is just a bad knuckle fight right now.
No one's coming into these rounds with a hell of a lot to work with.
Both squads happen to do more with less.
So yeah, it's a little bit chaotic, it's a little bit messy into the night in here.
Now I'll be with that reply. Still in with this massive opportunity. You've just dominated in the early game of dust too.
Yeah, we're still there. Streetboxing. Both teams fighting for survival at the bottom of the bracket.
after a bit of discussion
period realized they have to keep the pressure on they have to believe that they can win this round
all over again
five rounds
traded
all of you with every pistol in the series
But a conversion on this one is still up for debates.
We're already meeting K-SWR to up Cowwalker head of that need.
The second one goes through deeps, they don't feel anyone on short Alexis committed.
That after one.
Good punish for your kingdom, you can't let him hang out there, you can't let him get him out each other in that position.
Ema trapped between the short and the long exec that split comes through and you've got to think about this save surely
You think
Oh my carcy runs it forward
But now smoke in the way. It's not that good. He's got an angle still to peak round. Don't go think it. He smoked on cat
Because you just might keep him away in your kinder with the check
You can't just punish them, they come both together, they're perfectly, communication, no hassle.
I can't force continuous man, this is my noiled.
I was gallears and tech nights again.
And the first time is nearly done.
And no one struck together multiple rounds yet.
And no, no, be one the pistol, they won that second one, but pass that point.
It has just been blown for blow.
And right when you think someone's knocked out they get back up and keep on punching.
There's another round.
Now this one should be impossible.
This one's really bad. One and four. One Scout, one and P9.
Yeah, that is the downside of going for that previous round.
Right, trying to win in the two and three.
in a 60's have so much more recent to save.
Special on a map like Dust 2 but we've already seen these 5-7's Recover carry.
Over in the B side over on ramp.
Count nothing out at this point.
2-5-7's are B in the Joker.
A bit with the M4.
So it's a bit of a gamble here for the Navi to a degree.
And so it feels like a perfect round to fury out to just walk right in.
If they had in through the catwalk, you were out of this round.
It's the one that didn't even see the other one.
They're much of a plan for like, yeah, wonderful.
Can come back and try and land some pot shots on the scout.
That's leaving a 1v5 is the defining characteristic of the round.
Wonderful here. All alone.
Lexi not ready in a position to help him and so your best bet now is that someone gets
up as hell as someone goes for a clear they shouldn't. And now the will just
concede. Furia with two and a row win out these
protracted force by wall is that take place at the start of dust.
I don't know, if they keep enough guns alive, we keep going.
Oh, close, but one shot with a scout.
So yes, fury, a break the tension.
If only briefly.
almost curious if they can still late in the game well they try to throw a scout on a
wonderful try and keep it this point it's so late it's round nine you're not gonna
They get to play your first try for until round 10 of the game!
In the first proper rifle, V rifle round!
They had a rifle hand in, it's just broken by tech nines.
And Galylls.
The pressure of the tunnels, it's a nice idea.
In theory, you see it, a complicated matter.
Just move off to move being made in this game.
There's never been a moment of poison patients.
Everyone's always taking something back and so Navi with full tunnels control
Period, they know or at least they're about to
Nice trade for bit
Can he get out?
Gonna try and close in on him, but he's anticipating this and looking at get ahead of this move out of Navi
Eventually bit hangs around and bags himself another
Important pick up here for Mollidoi, but Fallen's been challenged by this USP out through middle you shouldn't be nervous
But you are even playing it forward under the open now
He likes it
It's only Fallen left and it's down in his clutch shows
No one feels safe
And nothing feels sacred in this one v1 bit lost scene
That's what's the beat tunnels, but a lot of time is elapsed since then
and full and's also working against the clock.
Oh, he's so rich.
Catches him on the pixel gap.
Doesn't play for a bombsite.
Doesn't play for the plan.
Instead, it goes looking for this kill.
Oh, no!
What's that?
To hold the knife.
It's 3K.
It keeps the first bottle on us going.
I was just gonna say it's a perfect experience,
play for full, or making bit.
Walk across mid.
I'm using that info against them, but he couldn't find him hiding in spawn bit looks over his shoulder
and fallen tries to escape from the fight, it comes to him, 3K from bet on that tunnels push trade
and a missed opportunity for Furia.
Dare I say, everybody gets guns now.
Yes.
Here we are, the first rifle around.
Round 10 of us too.
And this one is massive importance because you ever wins this rifle round in theory goes on
a win out the heart.
No, no, no, they go against pistols and they lose their…
OK.
I know, I know.
You want to lose this round at this point?
It has been a truly wild turn of events here to open up the final map in this elimination
series.
It's late in the night, you know, fallen with a bit of a fun ball.
It's OK.
We forgive them.
BPM.
We've got to keep your head in.
Okay.
Unreasonable.
A lot of aggression for Kcerato, just
Garning it straight through mid with the orb covering.
Here's a lot of nates on long. He knows he has a beard of a time in gap and he's taken it.
You're he could even catch this reaction through the tunnels.
They've just seen that utel cut out, and that's going to stop the push.
Kcerato gets his.
before, chance of the equalizer, but it will just elude him.
See ya.
And Moldo has to hand over his orb.
Great flash, it was the second one that he could have dodge come to second later.
Turning back into blind Moldo's rifle finds too.
And the save comes in.
There's a very real chance where that was the only full rifle around we get to see.
Because at this point with the way the game's gone, you get $1,400 on Navi at the end
of this one.
Wonderful, could drop a gun, but everyone else sitting in a truly awkward position.
Well, even if you go ahead and play the E-coar around these saved guns in the next,
your buys gonna be lacking when you finally get it.
This is one of the weirdest feeling games you're gonna have
because of where the money is at because teams are winning
on these forces with pistols.
And so so much of this half can be decided by the back and forth
nature of this one all the way through till around 10.
Really nice play for Kaster Auto, realizing the gap.
Taking a fan up as Navi think they can climb back up to play Catwalk. They don't realize
Furious, silent climb up Catwalk is coming in and here they are. They've gone for the force.
Cartoon, you left with and the final few rounds with a take and you go at this point.
One catch me on a USB.
There was one full gun round in this half.
It's for wonderful.
But now if you want to fight back, and Molly on cat would go a long way right now,
Pythuria.
Fuller than they're going to beat back.
He's still throwing in and they run at him.
All of the way, sideline.
They're giving the devil before the night by the orb.
Two on three now.
Can Harvey back out.
Well, I give up the bomb.
You're in a zone out through the tunnels here, has to clear left, has to clear the MP9 lines
and tank, but can't convert.
It's an hour down at the fangs of fury, pulling back at 2-1-3 into an even odd spot,
a bomb still down on Catwalk.
No one from now v is playing around it.
Close to sting they have is wonderful watching with this op, it's the reposition from
Alexey, trying to be big brain about it with a long reposition here,
so I'm gonna be who's watching. Okay, Sarato, had eyes on, whoa, and there's
Alexey arriving on the right-brown. Yuri now knows he's sandwiched, stuck between
a rock and a heart-place on one side, wonderful down here in middle, on the other
Alexey, and Alexey's a big old question mark. Yuri at 4HP, what's he gonna do?
dead on the cross and legs he's got the cover and not be reached 6 first wonderful oh dude this
is like this is hilarious at this wonderful at the end of the round ran into the molly
he died now they can't buy him an orb of co-only in this game when no one has any money
they had all grateful for the last round of up now they can't get it he ran into the molly and
Because of that one save earlier on with the fiber live and the fact that Fury and the round prior kept four alive
They do it enough money to play glass cannon or bomb all the noise and he's somehow he's the only guy with an AWP around 12
This one doesn't make sense call up an economist. Awesome bank for a load
And the pistol does it again
He's who 50
Push you through the tunnels and Yuri. He can really rip this one open right now
Yeah, isn't hang around on a McCarthy still you've got a 4 on 3. What'll do I leg them a car's on the cross by the way?
So he's already low shocked even survives
Let's see, come on guys don't go through the smoke. That's too far
He's leaving. He's leaving. They just heard a leave and range is not the MP 9 strong suit not anymore
They could go back around the world
They leave Moldoine pit with the oil.
Just don't gloss.
Guns getting shuffled.
Quick, free fuel in middle.
50 seconds, Fury, a walkin' back in a mid.
They've got Moldoine controlling the long position.
And if you try and reclaim this on Navi,
you're in for a bad time.
Flash play, that's exactly what Moldoine wanted.
Good tap back for wonderful.
Yeah.
because he was last spotted out towards the B-site.
Oh, they're rotating, and they're doing it loud!
Fury, I can hear this!
Shifting into the site.
This is a sick-thround for Furia, and I don't think now
he can do anything about it.
Fallen has the back cupboard.
Bomb goes down for long, and they know both players have crossed.
Ah, that's too easy.
And so, in one of those chaotic games
who crack off so far,
One of the most cost-effective, the bang for your buck, it's an even half-furrier waiting
for wonderful.
I know he's here, steps made, and a one-by-three clutch that shouldn't be happening any
time soon.
A lot of wall nests in this game, but some rounds are just too far gone.
So it doesn't get close to the nests.
There's still no clear victor.
Both teams are brawling as elimination is on the line.
When you come around, my heart is burstin' out
I don't wanna be with strangers and be with you
Cause we live for sin this room
I swear I saw that I need
I wish the burning flying stars in the outer space
We love killing me face to face
I swear I saw your eyes
I've got to come
You have found that I've been sentenced
We love killing me face to face with you
I swear, I'm so mad you're out of time to crack holes on the horizon too
I call the cops in a new world, get the things into the dark night
I swear, I'm so mad you're out of time so bad you're out of time
What happens when playing your own game is push?
through its very limits, both teams here, largely dodging each other as they make wild moves
in this first half.
Truly, here's one of the most unique halves of CS, I think I've seen.
No one able to stomach more than two rounds in a row, and even then that's a feat.
Each squad was only able to accomplish once.
It's left as neck and neck.
Heading in to the final half of this elimination series.
These are not a little implying this pistol.
All done, getting toyed with unlonged, they get control.
I'll never play it, I'll always hide in the pit.
That's exactly what Furia wants.
Harvey, looking calculated, late mid-smoke.
Moving info from Furia.
I'm Furia, buying time.
A minute on the clock, still two smokes to block.
Or do you clear this? Would you dare?
I know these steps are only a fake bits pulling back away.
At the moment, Fury has thinned his long control, it's anything but.
Really believe they've got now be in their pocket.
And that couldn't be further from the truth.
Well, though, if this goes cat's, it's not going to go much better.
We still have three players all the way to the side.
Fury just don't die.
If you're, you guys, maybe they're round changes.
That's the big danger right now.
And so he won't overextend.
I think if his chest pushing them into the stack.
I send them forward right in to this A bomb site full and second times the charm of the long angle and then it
case the roto and you cannot do the rest get them worrying get them going pistol round right here and right for
the taking it's a big attric the case the roto.
the layers that he's round here, and RV get convoluted in this pistol and they stormed
into a stack, very well prepared for it, a lot of you to long fury to cause problems,
blocking them, needing them.
Case or auto annihilating.
Question is, as fury, huh?
When a pistol finally, what they convert it?
The same bike comes out. Scout dig.
And the same result.
This can't happen again. Like now he didn't even put a crazy amount of money into this round.
Onward, whoa, that's fine. Fall and we'll contain it.
Opened it after the mid-pick a bit of a gap would be created.
We're going now, we get strange.
We're just following through the aggression.
I think a part of you expects,
once he's got the man in varnish,
back in the control, once he's drawn it back into a 4v4,
he doesn't do this.
Full and it's not exactly been a lighthouse,
hell, he's aggressive, move on a photo,
basically through the map away,
but he still gets aggressive,
and now we put in a box here as they are sandwiched in middle.
No way to recover this,
giving him nothing.
I think he got the spot there.
Okay, so I'll take my dying form.
And so Macauze is shot from death, but it's fury on a converting pistol.
Much the same as Navi did initially. It was a broken third round by the god.
Then in the game.
Fall in triple.
I don't want to work to do here now for Navi.
Oh my god, Bonaday.
Well you know they say he's an aggressive author and this is why are you ready for this?
It's hot mid on the line
You know they say always watch yourself on the mid-cross here with a Molotov active on dust too
That's not the part of mid they're talking about
Flash play for your kingdom, but it fell a little short now. He's gonna die on these players in lower
Hard to lose this
Oops, he's a little sound cue, and they're quick to close in on this,
get a try and chase ball, and he makes it down into the pit.
Okay, Sarato's only a little bit away, but the smokes will make life hard for him to save
his captain.
Okay.
First step.
You just have no you till.
No nothing.
All you have is long, and to even get through long once this smoke fades, you would get past
I don't think this one's going anywhere for now, V.
Today, we'll have to be back around the world right now to find the weaker, the two.
Straight out through, madam.
You're back, sir.

Can this very low?
They're gonna walk tunnels.
Still not sure whether they're going for this.
seconds you'd have to start running pretty soon. I mean that'll be the tell. It looks like I
mean you can't win. So no. Just to save. Okay, fury at three in a row now. That's the biggest
streak we've had on Dust 2. One thing that is right to call you some concern though is how clean
these rounds have been. That's the third one consecutively with four players alive. And so while
Money was their big talking point at these back and forth rounds to open up

The wonderful still beat it best spawn gets him out
behind the blue bed.
Have you lower my little toy getting involved again? Almost costs it.
Needs stacked down below. Keeps Navi honest.
Oh, full of repeats. Wonderful is out.
And okay, gonna have to grind 3VC here. They will. That mistmoke in middle does no favors to guard in.
Oh boy, look at the red peek.
Feeling feisty.
Second flash is the charmer to keep it a train now or save.
And round that and died.
If you didn't know they are right there with four rounds in a row on this half.
Ready to close it out.
One gunround makes all the difference.
Can't hardly find it.
Yeah, I mean, you are in danger of getting clean sweat in the second half.
And that is not how you want to exit crack off that is not how you want this series
to come unraveled.
This is blades put out on a chance to be involved.
These got one time out left after this.
They know who's now important to come in round is, you know, is that if they are to turn
This one around is better start now.
Wonderful, all-paint plate.
Now I've bothered all the way to go up against.
Neither all-perp properly dominating this map yet.
After that first half, I can't say I blame them.
Boost for wonderful.
Just to watch that push and allow it.
Boost for Molledoy as well.
They can this one out of the...
This trial is playbook.
See, a lot of teams do that, this event.
Green top blocks the flash.
It's why it's, you can not block it with the hinge note.
It is also a kind of risk, and they're ready for that. They've seen it before.
Flash or not, they find that headshot,
jumping around the corner of the boat of them.
Got that need, what a kid a bit down deep, bro.
He murmurs, he boasts a vibe.
All of a sudden, hard-counseed.
It's a bit block.
They want this piece out as well.
No one in it right now, no one's home.
Kissaro's instead getting aggressive on these smokes in middle.
He's got Yuri here alongside him.
Is that smoke drop? Oh, they're walking right into each other. Alexey will he realize this?
They are literally back to back and Alexey can't move. He's stuck. He's stuck.
Kasear always boxy in! I think that's how he's bigger than us.
They know that Kasear always right there. Still in comes he can now. And now it's the
peace-site play for Navey. You're first on the scene. First a new damage, but no kill found yet.
It's scrappy. It's messy. And the molly floats the push.
Oh, I'm gonna know him for as full it gets to one be one and now he's secured the foe hold
Miss shopping a kinda. They'd like to think he shouldn't matter
Theory into numbers game and they've got more here
What a streak continues for fury a as they find their fifth in their spring to the finish
This is just the most confusing game I've ever seen
Shucking rounds, Furia
Happy there
by analyzing on the chaos on the mistakes of both squads,
despite some awkward clutches and horrible economic moments,
I can't believe case run doesn't realise,
Alex is shooting over his shoulder as he's crouching, blocking him in.
Alex is boxed.
No door smoke, no sight for Navey.
116, it just feels like it's getting away from Navey right now.
a team that's been a shoe-ed to the winter championship, so many catevitas, so many playoffs
and right now new city new problems, new low, fury a two rounds away from eliminating them.
I'm gonna leave it all for the beat part, but it's strong set up here, strong crossfire,
full and handy work over the first couple of plays that get in.
Here's the reinforcement case of Rato, you're looking the feed, you know it's a stack.
And now my beat, the tee up for Fury, the chance to end this one on one hell of a streak
after the wildest first harbour just to you may have ever seen no one ever to

Revenge, a dish served.
Very late at night.
Fury are able to long this one out. Get that revenge arc from the major, the team that took them down a peg at the one that was meant to be there's to win.
Let's hear from them now on the end of this victory.
Fallen, what a match! I mean to watch this, this was absolutely incredible. Must have been really stressful. How did you make sure that you ended up on the right path?
Yeah, definitely. It was a crazy map. There are so many rounds where the other team was not supposed to win, but we're finding a way to make it happen.
Including themselves, like they played super well. And in the end, we just had a very strong defense. I think we locked up everything we wanted to piece to and from there we got to go in.
where we got to go in, Moldova was making sure
his presence was felt in the server.
He was really going for some kills.
Like, we didn't really that them play much
on the first rounds of the defense.
And I think that's kind of very, very hard for the interplay.
Absolutely speaking about Moldova.
Of course, all eyes are on him after being the rookie
of the year last year.
You've been in that position before,
where you start off very strong.
What kind of advice do you have for him to know?
OK, hey, there are still levels to this.
There are still things that you have to lock in for.
I was the rook of the year on my count three, 2006.
That's some time ago, right?
I just remember it now.
I lost Rook of the year 2006 more like by the way,
it was you.
Yeah, but I'll say that then you have a lot to grow.
Like every one is a player during their careers.
They have to keep growing.
That's why you see a lot of good players coming into play.
And then they cannot stay on the top scene anymore
because they stopped learning.
So then it's gonna have a lot to learn all the time.
And on our side, we are just giving feedback
every time we can, but it's just a very good talent
and just a good stay humble and working hard.
Absolutely, so you still have one match to go.
There's just one thing still that I'm curious on about this match specifically,
because Mirage usually, for Navi, it's like a problem for other teams to play against it.
What was it that pushed you over the edge?
How did you finally figure it out?
Because we have been playing very so long, and so many times now,
everything is picking against us.
We haven't been working on the map very hard.
Madec preparation for this game was absolutely amazing.
Like he, he found the way to understand how we should play and what to expect,
and which signs we could really take decisions or go for other options.
And then again, then you had a strong map on my opinion as well.
He was finding many, many kills.
And again, his presence was felt on the road too.
So overall, I think his marks preparation,
and the fact that I have everyone in the team,
including Molo Doi, was able to step up
and do the things that matter.
One more, before you make it to the big arena,
it is as strong as that one over there.
So give me your thoughts.
Just one more time.
And then you get another shot at those playoffs.
It's going to be fun to play the new Astralis.
They got to go in with real players.
We have been practicing against it in some times
in the last weeks, but not really much.
So I'm excited to be playing against them.
I know Hooks is a very strategic guy.
He has some very good strategy on their health.
So I was going to be a crazy game.
I'm expecting to see some nice games.
And let's go put him go to the playoffs.
Looking forward to it.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Got to fall in.
And we're going to head over to the other side,
because unfortunately, that means for Navi,
it is the end of the road.
And I'm just going to grab a few words from Blades,
the stuff falls on the floor, but that's OK.
Late.
How did you, or why did you rather run out of steam,
you think, on this last map?
Well, I think it's just played this much better than us, that's all I think we didn't run on those teams because we were fighting CT side really hard.
I think like the way how we fight for the, it was amazing.
We won some crazy rounds, but eventually on T side, when we switch our things, it just played better this month.
We just need more precise ideas like together the team, understanding what they're doing, and they were step ahead.
I did hear that you guys had a really, really long boot camp before this is the 24 days or something like that.
Is it a case of there is so much information that you gathered from there that maybe was too much to translate or what is your view on it?
Yeah, it was good. We just grinded it in the beginning of the season to practice as much as possible to grind new maps because all sonovies in the pool.
And yeah, I think we're in a good shape, but unfortunately, like,
ancient is one of the best maps, and it's not like our best opponent for this aspect.
But we will work on our role.
Okay.
Some final words you want to say about something that obviously for the Navi fans and for the Navi crew and all of you isn't exactly the way you want to start the year.
Yes, unfortunately, the supporters are all for us, and really appreciate the support from everyone from our fans.
and we always believe that you are also watching us always in supporting.
So thank you very much and we will bounce back.
Absolutely, you will.
Thank you very much, Blade.
And now I will head over to finish out the show.
I don't know who's filming me.
I think you are.
Am I going this way?
Probably.
Here I come.
So yeah, we've got to see Furia tomorrow.
They're going to go up versus Australia.
there is only a few spots left in the tower on arena and for those of you watching,
you can't get tickets anymore.
10,000 that are no more than that.
It's all sold out for an unbelievable playoff weekend, but the question is, who will be
those last teams in the playoffs?
And we've got an unbelievable last day of groups here from the studio because we need to find
that who's getting that buy straight to the semi finals.
Spirit is playing G2, of course, and I have to cheat because it's been a very long day.
Vitality is playing, is someone reminding me or orando, but you reminded me they haven't
played in forever. Back when they were still internal fire, so it's going to be an absolute

I hope you'll be there with us.
And now, good night.
See you tomorrow for the last day here from the studio.
We're gonna f**k them. Okay.

Oh!
Oh, no!
That's not going to come.
Oh, no!
Oh!
Here is what I used to be changed in Maddie's plan like a beast in this game.
I got this chance for over to legend.
And since we're even fighting over this fight, just can't die now.
Oh no, no, no.
This is so hot from this fucking cold when you all have this work on this all the time.
You really respond to each other.
It's so bad for me.
If you want to keep talking like this to each other,
we're gonna be a fritter.
And it's fucking f***ing okay?
I want you guys to plug this clip up now.
We played with, we won the first map, we had a group of sisters all the time, and now we need to beat it for our consumer and talk about.
And that's right, if it's here and there, it's fine. But every round there was something, something, something all the time.
We lost it in.
We can't tell, tell, tell.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
There's one thing we can count on
on is that if you have a UFO, let's do it.
