WEBVTT

01:00.000 --> 01:28.000
I'm on a concrete now, I can feel it all around

01:28.000 --> 01:32.000
A chronicle of people came in

01:34.000 --> 01:37.000
Under the pressure of the dead temptress

01:37.000 --> 01:40.000
I can see all the fumbling

01:40.000 --> 01:43.000
I see the storm give out

01:47.000 --> 01:51.000
A umbrella with another single cloud

01:51.000 --> 01:54.000
I can see the storm give out

01:54.000 --> 02:01.000
Where should I end all, all I've done?

02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
I want you to follow me

02:58.500 --> 03:00.500
I can't close my mouth

03:05.500 --> 03:08.500
Your promise can't stop me from falling down

03:08.500 --> 03:11.500
You are so much so much down

03:11.500 --> 03:13.500
You are so much so much down

03:13.500 --> 03:16.500
You are so much so much down

03:16.500 --> 03:19.500
You are so much so much down

03:19.500 --> 03:28.500
I can't see through my eyes

03:28.500 --> 03:32.500
Can't see through my eyes

03:32.500 --> 03:39.500
I can't see through my eyes

04:49.500 --> 04:52.500
I can feel it all around

04:55.500 --> 05:00.500
I'm gonna call people caving in

05:49.500 --> 05:51.500
I

08:19.500 --> 08:21.500
I

08:49.500 --> 09:06.220
Mr Heavy God, good sir, it's the lobby, how are you doing?

09:06.220 --> 09:08.060
I'm good, I'm good, how are you?

09:08.060 --> 09:13.340
I am fantastic dude, lovely day in Brazil, very warm room, how are you feeling?

09:13.340 --> 09:19.260
I'm feeling good you know, still I think I need to get a bit used to the time zone a bit

09:19.260 --> 09:21.260
We will see how it will go.

09:21.260 --> 09:22.260
What time you wake up?

09:22.260 --> 09:23.260
Around eight.

09:23.260 --> 09:25.260
Oh, that's pretty good actually.

09:25.260 --> 09:27.260
You're on like the prime sleep schedule right now.

09:27.260 --> 09:28.260
Okay, okay.

09:28.260 --> 09:29.260
First question.

09:29.260 --> 09:31.260
Everyone knows, Hunter, what actually happened?

09:31.260 --> 09:33.260
I've seen the images.

09:33.260 --> 09:35.260
What do you do to his feet, bro?

09:35.260 --> 09:37.260
I cannot share information.

09:37.260 --> 09:39.260
Okay.

09:39.260 --> 09:40.260
How's he doing though?

09:40.260 --> 09:42.260
Is he holding up all right?

09:42.260 --> 09:45.260
Has he been like speaking to you guys and stuff from the back home?

09:45.260 --> 09:47.260
Yeah, I mean, obviously he's like,

09:47.260 --> 09:51.060
We like we're a team. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Like if someone is injured or not, so

09:52.020 --> 09:58.940
He's always connected with us speaking. I mean, he also like wants to be with us it is big when we prepare and everything

09:59.820 --> 10:03.780
I mean, he's doing better slowly. He'll recover soon and

10:04.660 --> 10:10.320
Yeah, all right, that's good. Well till then you have a new guy in the team. You got tack from

10:10.820 --> 10:12.820
G2 Aries, I think is the Academy name

10:12.820 --> 10:19.380
How's he feeling? I was looking, I see how many games he's played online, not a huge number.

10:19.380 --> 10:24.020
And I'm sure you remember the feeling of going to the early couple of big lands.

10:24.020 --> 10:26.020
How has he been holding up?

10:26.020 --> 10:33.220
I think he's doing great. Obviously it's a different pressure, officials in practice.

10:33.220 --> 10:39.620
In practice he was doing good. I can see what the guy can provide to us and how he can help us.

10:39.620 --> 10:49.620
Of course it's a bit different since we don't have Hunter, he's IGL, and Takizan is not IGL, but he's a good guy and I think he's very skilled.

10:49.620 --> 10:54.620
And we will see how it will go in the server because it's a different experience.

10:54.620 --> 10:58.620
How have you guys decided? Who's going to call? Who's calling right now?

10:58.620 --> 10:59.620
Yeah, we'll see.

10:59.620 --> 11:02.620
Yeah, we're going to see. I knew this would be the answer, bro.

11:02.620 --> 11:05.620
I imagine it's going to be a bit of a committee kind of vibe.

11:05.620 --> 11:08.620
Or it's you. I don't know. You're a smart guy. You're a smart guy, bro.

11:08.620 --> 11:16.540
guy bro I feel like it's you thoughts you never know hi and I guess like final thing for me but

11:16.540 --> 11:21.660
for you would be like you have a couple of events leading up to the major I imagine it hurts a little

11:21.660 --> 11:25.820
right like the you kind of hunter here for this one but what's kind of the goal like getting in

11:25.820 --> 11:31.260
shape ahead of the major you guys are starting in what stage two I want to say yeah so what's

11:31.260 --> 11:35.820
kind of the goal in these last few tournaments on the run up to it I mean obviously that's

11:35.820 --> 11:42.820
It was hard to bid that we don't have Hunter because we've been putting a lot of work and we've also been attending to this Tier 2 lens like this.

11:43.820 --> 11:50.820
Yeah, we've been grinding a bit on the road and now we're coming here. I mean, it's a honour to be here in Rio as well.

11:51.820 --> 12:01.820
And we just want to play. We need to maximize what we can do with the situation that is given.

12:01.820 --> 12:08.900
Yeah, I mean, we're gonna do the best. It doesn't matter. We don't have expectations. I think we're just gonna play our best and give the best that we can and

12:09.740 --> 12:13.800
Yeah, we'll see how it goes. I know pressure no pressure on G2 right now

12:14.060 --> 12:17.140
Majors locked in standard at this event. I don't know man

12:17.140 --> 12:21.820
I'm kind of I'm kind of vibing right now with the G2 setup. Yo, good luck. Good luck. Have you got brother and

12:22.180 --> 12:25.780
Take care. That was heavy got from G2. We're gonna see who else we can find

12:25.780 --> 12:36.780
How are you doing, bro? This is kind of cool, right? From G2 Aries in the main squad as a stand-in. How are you feeling?

12:36.780 --> 12:43.780
I'm feeling, of course, on top of the world for now. We'll see how it goes in the games, but I'm of course very excited.

12:43.780 --> 12:53.780
It's an opportunity for a lifetime. I'm just excited to be in this tier one kitchen and see how things are done here.

12:53.780 --> 12:56.460
and until now it has been amazing.

12:56.460 --> 12:58.020
We'll see how it goes in the games.

12:58.020 --> 12:59.700
How are you finding the guys?

12:59.700 --> 13:00.700
It's a good bunch, man.

13:00.700 --> 13:02.660
It's a good team to kind of move into.

13:02.660 --> 13:04.780
They're funny guys in G2.

13:04.780 --> 13:06.700
Have they been making you welcome?

13:06.700 --> 13:08.620
I mean, indeed, they're really funny.

13:08.620 --> 13:10.820
We've been having a good atmosphere during practice

13:10.820 --> 13:13.100
times, like before the event.

13:13.100 --> 13:15.300
And I'm just excited to play with them.

13:15.300 --> 13:17.660
And we feel very comfortable with each other.

13:17.660 --> 13:19.900
So let's see what we can do.

13:19.900 --> 13:22.700
And last thing, and then I'll let you go.

13:22.700 --> 13:25.420
I was looking at how many LAN events you've played.

13:25.420 --> 13:26.660
It's not a crazy high number.

13:26.660 --> 13:28.660
I think you have like 15 LAN matches ever

13:28.660 --> 13:30.620
and a bunch of them are from years ago.

13:30.620 --> 13:33.540
You've only played nine in the last year.

13:33.540 --> 13:35.180
This is quite a step up.

13:35.180 --> 13:36.460
Ha ha ha ha.

13:36.460 --> 13:38.940
Is what would you say kind of the feeling is now?

13:38.940 --> 13:40.020
Is it like excitement?

13:40.020 --> 13:42.780
Is it a little bit of anxiety, nervousness?

13:42.780 --> 13:44.900
You know, like how are you going there?

13:44.900 --> 13:46.980
I mean, it's a bit of everything.

13:46.980 --> 13:50.820
Of course, excitement is a problem on the top.

13:50.820 --> 13:54.420
I mean, I'm here to just smile and play,

13:54.420 --> 13:56.380
like what will happen will happen.

13:56.380 --> 13:58.980
I'll just do my best to help the guys out

13:58.980 --> 14:00.340
and do my job in the games.

14:00.340 --> 14:02.740
And let's hope everything goes fine.

14:02.740 --> 14:03.580
Yeah.

14:03.580 --> 14:04.340
I like that.

14:04.340 --> 14:06.140
I think just, yeah, try and enjoy it.

14:06.140 --> 14:08.420
You know, that's probably the best thing you can do

14:08.420 --> 14:09.260
in this situation.

14:09.260 --> 14:10.860
All right, bro, well, good luck.

14:10.860 --> 14:14.100
And I hope you pull up and put up some good numbers,

14:14.100 --> 14:14.420
bro.

14:14.420 --> 14:15.940
Yeah, that's Tag.

14:15.940 --> 14:17.100
He's got Hunter on his jersey.

14:17.100 --> 14:17.940
That isn't Hunter.

14:17.940 --> 14:20.220
You don't watch CS if you think that's Hunter.

14:20.220 --> 14:21.560
Let's tag.

14:21.560 --> 14:23.720
Look who has just rocked up to the media, boys.

14:23.720 --> 14:24.960
We got none other than Navi.

14:24.960 --> 14:27.480
And I'm just going to ambush you with a quick interview.

14:27.480 --> 14:31.240
First things first, do you enjoy being in Brazil?

14:31.240 --> 14:31.880
Yes, actually.

14:31.880 --> 14:32.680
I'm enjoying a lot.

14:32.680 --> 14:37.320
It's very good nature here, and very kind of chill here.

14:37.320 --> 14:39.400
The green hills, when you're driving from the airport,

14:39.400 --> 14:41.440
you see those rolling hills.

14:41.440 --> 14:44.600
It's very unique, no place kind of looks and feels like it.

14:44.600 --> 14:45.480
Yes, it's true.

14:45.480 --> 14:47.280
And also I like the time zone.

14:47.280 --> 14:50.040
Time zone is very comfortable for me.

14:50.040 --> 14:52.040
How was your travel? Everything okay with the team?

14:52.040 --> 14:57.040
Actually for me and overall for our team it was a very tough travel.

14:57.040 --> 14:58.040
Really?

14:58.040 --> 15:02.040
Yes, the flight was not the best but it's fine.

15:02.040 --> 15:04.040
You rested? You're going to be okay tomorrow?

15:04.040 --> 15:06.040
We'll see, we'll see, I hope so, yes.

15:06.040 --> 15:08.040
Okay, cool. Good, good, good.

15:08.040 --> 15:13.040
And coming into this event, you know, you guys have got a pretty good track record of events in Brazil.

15:13.040 --> 15:16.040
You know, you've had your successes back in Rio.

15:16.040 --> 15:22.520
be seeing another, you know, could you be denying the Grand Slam, the ESL Grand Slam to be specific?

15:23.080 --> 15:30.200
We don't want to like look that forward. We first of all focusing on qualify for playoffs

15:30.200 --> 15:34.440
and after real step by step we'll try to show our best.

15:34.440 --> 15:37.960
Which I mean it does feel like you guys are kind of finding the form at the right time,

15:37.960 --> 15:41.320
right? Like everyone everything's flowing nicely. I'm not going to speak anything

15:41.320 --> 15:43.720
too crazy but it's looking good. Do you agree?

15:43.720 --> 15:52.720
Yes, the rule is looking good, the last two events were awesome for us and I hope we will keep showing good CS.

15:52.720 --> 16:01.720
Biskela, what is the law on Biskela? I think you've told me this once before, sorry just to show the jersey, can you give us a spin?

16:01.720 --> 16:07.720
Biskela, do you just want to be cool like those guys that put their name backwards or what?

16:07.720 --> 16:10.520
No, it's a thing that's from Gullis.

16:10.520 --> 16:13.880
It just started to call me Biscala.

16:13.880 --> 16:18.040
I think it just flows better in their language, I guess.

16:18.040 --> 16:19.880
And yeah, I embraced it.

16:19.880 --> 16:23.120
And I think it's nice to have like an alter ego.

16:23.120 --> 16:24.960
You've got your alter ego in Brazil.

16:24.960 --> 16:26.600
And you've got a good track record in Brazil.

16:26.600 --> 16:28.240
You boys, I mean, I just spoke to Bit

16:28.240 --> 16:31.680
and it seems like quietly confident is how I'd summarize it.

16:31.680 --> 16:33.080
But one game at a time, is that there's still

16:33.080 --> 16:34.640
a mindset coming to these kind of tournaments?

16:34.640 --> 16:35.440
Yeah, for sure.

16:35.440 --> 16:41.040
I think it's another rematch against B8, you can never know what they cook for this time.

16:41.040 --> 16:46.640
But just getting the opener game and going from there, I think that's the most important thing.

16:46.640 --> 16:49.600
Because you travel around the world and you just need to be ready.

16:49.600 --> 16:54.080
Absolutely, and ready you are, not infest the stage 3 of the Major, that's huge.

16:54.080 --> 16:56.960
I imagine that took up a lot of your focus for this season.

16:56.960 --> 17:00.320
Does it feel a sense of relief? Could that be something that could lead to

17:00.320 --> 17:04.960
being a bit too comfortable coming into an event like this when you know your goal for the season has been achieved?

17:05.440 --> 17:09.600
No, I don't think... Honestly, I don't think it changed too much.

17:09.600 --> 17:13.600
Just like a good thing for us that after the block of tournaments now,

17:13.600 --> 17:17.280
we can catch a small breather before like a longer boot camp for the Major.

17:17.280 --> 17:23.600
So I just think it's good for the sake of like all the tournaments and for the fact that,

17:23.600 --> 17:30.160
you know, we played a, you know, long Stockholm into Rotterdam.

17:30.160 --> 17:34.640
And from there, it was good for us that we didn't need to travel to all these smaller

17:34.640 --> 17:40.400
tournament. So yeah, it's a good thing for us as a team and overall to qualify for stage three.

17:40.400 --> 17:45.040
But that's pretty much it. We were still looking forward to making a deep run on the

17:45.040 --> 17:49.840
matry so it's nothing to make it to Thursday. And you could get an extra 100k if you

17:49.840 --> 17:53.760
stopped a certain team from winning the ESL Grand Slam. Just putting that out in the

17:53.760 --> 17:57.280
universe. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, that's for sure. Coming into this tournament, I was

17:57.280 --> 18:02.080
just asking Lexi, you know, stage three in the bag, that felt like your primary objective,

18:02.080 --> 18:04.640
you know throughout the season was to get the you know the

18:04.640 --> 18:08.000
say through the major but coming into this one you got a good track record in

18:08.000 --> 18:10.560
brazil you you quietly confident your boys are

18:10.560 --> 18:13.600
going to make a make it deep to the playoffs here

18:13.600 --> 18:18.240
no no never never actually with you it has to be realistic

18:18.240 --> 18:23.280
this is a very important part that but maybe from viewers position it's easy

18:23.280 --> 18:26.800
but uh you should never underestimate

18:26.800 --> 18:31.040
competitive scene nowadays it's very tough you can see like that

18:31.040 --> 18:37.840
Anyone can win anyone. Yes, we showed a pretty stable and consistent result, like two times finals,

18:37.840 --> 18:43.200
but it doesn't say anything. It was just showing that we were in a good shape at that moment,

18:43.200 --> 18:50.720
because it was online, EPL started, it was one game, three, four, we grind a lot,

18:50.720 --> 18:54.320
then we went to LAN to grind, and then we kind of got in a good shape.

18:54.320 --> 18:58.480
So far, it's important to have this thing that, for example, Bade has now.

18:58.480 --> 19:01.320
Yes, it's for them, I think third LAN in a row.

19:01.320 --> 19:05.800
So you think they could be hot, like hot-handed, you know, they feel that they're warm.

19:05.800 --> 19:09.840
In nowadays, this is so important because all teams can play good.

19:09.840 --> 19:12.520
You just need to know how to activate.

19:12.520 --> 19:17.320
And one of these tools how to activate is to grind a lot online.

19:17.320 --> 19:19.160
And they've had lots of those.

19:19.160 --> 19:22.160
And there was one other thing I wanted to talk to you about, which was,

19:22.160 --> 19:27.960
oh, a lot of people are giving a lot of praise to Mikaze, you know, and understandably.

19:27.960 --> 19:31.960
But if you were to put a couple of words, what is it that makes his game so good?

19:31.960 --> 19:33.960
Is it his read of the game? Is it his mechanics?

19:33.960 --> 19:37.960
How do we quantify what makes this player such an asset to Narvi?

19:39.960 --> 19:50.960
I think that all young players have something in common that they play a lot with, let's say, new vision, new wave, new generation.

19:50.960 --> 19:53.220
Like these kind of players are a little bit different.

19:53.220 --> 19:59.840
I think they learned more, they had more options to learn from the beginning, right?

19:59.840 --> 20:03.520
They had different paths from the beginning, like for example, like academy,

20:03.520 --> 20:09.520
paths not like just trying three, four, five teams and then get somewhere, right?

20:09.520 --> 20:11.240
And then you learn stuff and you put it together.

20:11.240 --> 20:14.640
Yeah, I think they're, first of all, they're different, all these young players,

20:14.640 --> 20:17.480
even like football, if you see like, they're succeeding.

20:17.480 --> 20:29.160
And another thing is, he's very confident and another thing is, he's never frustrated.

20:29.160 --> 20:30.160
Really?

20:30.160 --> 20:31.660
Like, he's very positive constantly.

20:31.660 --> 20:36.480
He's positive thinking is one of the main strengths for anyone in the sport, I think,

20:36.480 --> 20:37.480
can be.

20:37.480 --> 20:38.680
But imagine he always positive thinking.

20:38.680 --> 20:40.240
He never teels.

20:40.240 --> 20:43.160
He never like, thinking like, oh, like everything is lost.

20:43.160 --> 20:46.200
Especially for a young player, that's really what I would imagine rare.

20:46.200 --> 20:48.040
Yes, that's for sure his main strength.

20:48.040 --> 20:49.880
Thank you for the time, bro. Thank you, I appreciate that.

20:49.880 --> 20:53.000
I'm actually gonna go and... Sorry, your team have abandoned you.

20:53.000 --> 20:57.800
I'm so sorry. Oh, Na'Vi, they're nice guys. Nice guys.

20:57.800 --> 21:00.200
How are you getting on? You guys were just in Bucharest.

21:00.840 --> 21:06.040
That event feels like it only ended 24 hours ago, so how was that?

21:06.760 --> 21:10.280
Yeah, we lost for three in Bucharest.

21:10.280 --> 21:14.440
It wasn't expected, but I think we learned some things

21:14.440 --> 21:19.960
from our team and from ourselves that we can play it now and I think it really is a good opportunity

21:19.960 --> 21:29.000
for us just to win games and be in front of home crowds and yeah and I think that's a good vision

21:29.000 --> 21:32.920
in mind already you know. You're kind of already you really want to get there you're already

21:32.920 --> 21:38.120
envisioning it it's powerful stuff I mean dude it's cool I really like it when we get to have

21:38.120 --> 21:42.120
the Brazilian teams you know come play in Brazil I know for like a lot of you guys that's

21:42.120 --> 21:47.680
That's kind of the dream, you know, like to get to play on stage in front of your countrymen.

21:48.840 --> 21:51.160
Does it add a bit of pressure in a way?

21:51.160 --> 21:55.320
You know, like maybe good pressure, but, you know, you want to do right by them.

21:55.320 --> 21:58.520
And you guys have been playing good seasons, been trending in the right direction,

21:58.760 --> 22:00.120
got the major locked in.

22:00.120 --> 22:03.280
Like it's kind of a good time to be a legacy fan right now.

22:03.680 --> 22:04.880
Yeah, I think it's good.

22:04.880 --> 22:06.240
And I think about pressure.

22:06.240 --> 22:11.040
It's about a think of a perspective as individuals in the team.

22:11.040 --> 22:21.040
But as soon as we get closer to the game, like tomorrow, we can talk and have a bit of more closer vision from each other

22:21.040 --> 22:24.040
and what we expect from each other.

22:24.040 --> 22:28.040
And just focus on the game and play as we play every day and just keep focusing.

22:28.040 --> 22:31.040
As soon as we see we are where we want.

22:31.040 --> 22:39.040
But I think we have to blind a bit of ourselves in the game and play what we expect and be calm.

22:39.040 --> 22:47.600
I mean you're giving good calm energy right now. It's good. How are things been with all you just kind of walked past and

22:47.920 --> 22:54.040
Give you a little love tap there. How's how's it been with all and it is love. Yeah, I think

22:54.960 --> 22:58.120
Art is a very good guy now. He's a bit sick

22:59.680 --> 23:06.240
Yeah, but way, but I think it's okay. He's a nice guy. I think they should we have a good vibes

23:06.240 --> 23:16.640
I guess because of Bucharest we played a bit bad, we rushed some situations and I think

23:16.640 --> 23:22.400
now we can learn from that, because we talk with each other, then we can fix things and

23:22.400 --> 23:25.360
play a bit more in our way, you know?

23:25.360 --> 23:28.080
You guys were kind of right on the edge of going to playoffs there, right?

23:28.080 --> 23:30.640
It was 2-3, you fell out.

23:30.640 --> 23:35.760
Does it hurt a bit that the game that you lost there to be eliminated wasn't particularly

23:35.760 --> 23:44.260
It didn't feel like it was like the normal level from you guys, maybe your opponent Bait just caught fire or whatever.

23:44.260 --> 23:48.760
What do you think it was that led to you guys falling short?

23:48.760 --> 23:54.760
I think we got too much people sick. I think half of the team was sick.

23:54.760 --> 23:57.760
Has it been like a bad one for sickness at the minute?

23:57.760 --> 24:01.760
The communication is a bit low and we tried to push each other but it was hard.

24:01.760 --> 24:04.760
But I think now it's how better.

24:06.760 --> 24:07.760
It's how better now.

24:09.760 --> 24:12.760
I think Bucca Res wasn't everything we had.

24:13.760 --> 24:17.760
But I think now we can just do our best and focus on ourselves.

24:17.760 --> 24:19.760
I think that's the most important for now.

24:19.760 --> 24:26.760
And I think everything will come together as we play the game and focus on ourselves.

24:27.760 --> 24:28.760
Lovely. Hey, yeah.

24:28.760 --> 24:30.760
It's a very calm do-mar right now.

24:30.760 --> 24:31.760
I like to see it.

24:31.760 --> 24:32.560
Good luck, brother.

24:32.560 --> 24:35.320
And yeah, I hope you guys pull through.

24:35.320 --> 24:36.080
This is going to be good.

24:36.080 --> 24:37.600
I hope all the sickness goes as well.

24:37.600 --> 24:40.080
Let's get rid of that.

24:40.080 --> 24:41.680
All right, take care, bro.

24:41.680 --> 24:42.720
Oh, hey, Al.

24:42.720 --> 24:44.440
How are you doing, bro?

24:44.440 --> 24:45.000
Yeah.

24:45.000 --> 24:47.840
Are you feeling good?

24:47.840 --> 24:48.280
Health.

24:48.280 --> 24:49.960
I heard you were a little under the weather.

24:49.960 --> 24:50.840
Yeah, a little bit.

24:50.840 --> 24:53.080
Yeah, but I think it was over.

24:53.080 --> 24:54.560
I still gave you a handshake, man.

24:54.560 --> 24:55.640
That's how much I like you.

24:55.640 --> 24:58.360
Even though you're ill, I'm still there.

24:58.360 --> 25:00.200
I wanted to ask, because obviously you've

25:00.200 --> 25:05.560
actually played here a couple of times now back in the Furia days. What's it like being back?

25:06.760 --> 25:11.480
It's good to be back bro. I have nothing to say. I think it's going to be awesome if you manage to

25:11.480 --> 25:16.360
play off, so it's going to be a very good time. Do you think the fact that like Majors already

25:17.000 --> 25:22.520
locked in does that alleviate a bit of pressure, the idea that like you're not playing for the

25:22.520 --> 25:27.080
whole season right now? You know it's not all getting called into question. You've got that

25:27.080 --> 25:32.080
You have a little bit of time now on the run up, one of them being here in Rio.

25:32.080 --> 25:37.080
Do you think that leaves you in a good mental place for this tournament?

25:37.080 --> 25:41.080
I don't think we changed that much. I think we have a lot of potential in the team

25:41.080 --> 25:43.080
and we want to fulfill that.

25:43.080 --> 25:49.080
It's going to be just giving our best to play off even in a tournament

25:49.080 --> 25:53.080
so I think we don't feel the pressure of the major.

25:53.080 --> 25:57.520
The last thing and then I'll let you get on because I know I know you ain't feeling I don't want to keep you

25:57.520 --> 25:59.520
but do you think like

25:59.920 --> 26:04.180
Because I know like Brazilian culture with how they kind of get behind their teams, you know

26:04.180 --> 26:09.500
It's like for fans and stuff your wins feel like their wins your losses feel like their losses

26:09.500 --> 26:13.560
Is it kind of a unique experience where like you really want to be in front of the crowd?

26:13.560 --> 26:19.840
But does it kind of at its own like unique pressure because I always think back to like the Rio major the Navi match

26:19.840 --> 26:24.660
like felt like and I think to a lot of people here felt like you guys had already won the tournament, you know

26:24.660 --> 26:31.120
And and then obviously that didn't happen like is it kind of a unique situation where it's like it's a dream

26:31.120 --> 26:36.220
But also it adds it adds a bit of a pressure to the situation

26:36.220 --> 26:40.420
No, definitely not. I think the crowd the crowd being passionate and we hearing other crowd

26:41.340 --> 26:47.220
Did not give us any pressure at the least like you're feeling no pressure now. We're just feeling confident. They're cheering on us

26:47.220 --> 26:49.220
I think that feeling

26:49.220 --> 26:52.580
It doesn't feel like pressure. It feels like they're motivating us.

26:52.580 --> 26:54.340
I think that's how you feel inside.

26:54.340 --> 26:57.140
That's a good framing. This is why I'm not a pro player.

26:59.060 --> 27:03.220
All right, dude. I love to hear it. And best of luck to you boys, genuinely.

27:03.220 --> 27:07.140
Yeah, I hope you pull through. And I hope your illness goes away, man.

27:07.140 --> 27:10.180
And you're feeling tip-top-shaped tomorrow. It's going to get better.

27:11.060 --> 27:13.380
That was our... This was legacy. We love them.

27:15.780 --> 27:17.460
Oh, thank you so much, dude.

27:17.460 --> 27:19.300
Hello, Makaria.

27:19.300 --> 27:20.300
Hello.

27:20.300 --> 27:26.020
Dude, coming into this one, I'm sure your season has been rather intense, you know, but you

27:26.020 --> 27:27.980
guys have managed to get a very good spot at the Major.

27:27.980 --> 27:28.980
That's got to be feeling good.

27:28.980 --> 27:34.660
Yeah, like I think we went five different countries to secure stage three.

27:34.660 --> 27:38.020
We work hard, but at the end we did it, so we're happy.

27:38.020 --> 27:39.340
Yeah, five different countries.

27:39.340 --> 27:40.820
What was the list?

27:40.820 --> 27:52.260
First Serbia for gaming house, then Sweden, Denmark for Blast, Netherlands again and then finally Romania.

27:52.260 --> 27:55.060
Damn, okay you've been busy. And now you're in Rio, yeah.

27:55.060 --> 27:57.460
How was the long flight as well?

27:57.460 --> 28:00.260
How was the travels? Is everyone cool? Everyone's here?

28:00.260 --> 28:06.740
Yes, it was long but I think it was good. I think we were on the road for 24 hours or something like this.

28:06.740 --> 28:09.140
You got in yesterday?

28:09.140 --> 28:10.140
Yes.

28:10.220 --> 28:14.220
So, food, media, rest and gaming tomorrow.

28:14.300 --> 28:15.740
Who's your opening game against?

28:15.820 --> 28:16.820
Hotto.

28:16.900 --> 28:17.900
Hotto, okay.

28:17.980 --> 28:21.100
Do you find it difficult when you go against a team

28:21.180 --> 28:22.900
you haven't played against before?

28:22.980 --> 28:28.540
I don't think so. I think we played them against them before.

28:28.620 --> 28:31.420
I think it's going to be a good game for us.

28:31.500 --> 28:33.740
I see the major stickers. People are doing their autographs.

28:33.820 --> 28:35.500
Are you submitting a new one?

28:35.580 --> 28:38.420
No, I think just hopefully Amir will do a new one.

28:38.420 --> 28:40.420
the others will do the same.

28:40.420 --> 28:42.420
Wait, is that magic?

28:42.420 --> 28:44.420
Have you finished your... Have you done your autograph?

28:44.420 --> 28:46.420
No, it's just a sticker.

28:46.420 --> 28:47.420
Yeah, maybe?

28:47.420 --> 28:49.420
Oh, maybe new magic sticker.

28:49.420 --> 28:51.420
There's a little behind the scenes for you.

28:51.420 --> 28:53.420
He wouldn't show us, he wouldn't.

28:53.420 --> 28:55.420
Yeah, it's a secret. It's a secret.

28:55.420 --> 28:57.420
It's under... It's in development.

28:57.420 --> 28:59.420
Okay, that's exciting. But you're keeping the same old one.

28:59.420 --> 29:02.420
You're not getting creative. Give it like a little...

29:02.420 --> 29:04.420
Everyone does a smiley.

29:04.420 --> 29:06.420
I try to do like 20 times,

29:06.420 --> 29:09.700
I can't find anything good, so I will just do the same.

29:10.260 --> 29:13.220
Sick as a sticker, man. It is cool to have your name in the game, though, right?

29:13.380 --> 29:15.820
Yes, it's the only thing that matters.

29:16.540 --> 29:18.740
It means a lot to the players. It's super cool to see.

29:19.340 --> 29:20.540
Mr. Heavy God.

29:20.660 --> 29:22.860
So, Flashy, coming into this one.

29:23.020 --> 29:25.340
I've been looking at the run of events.

29:25.500 --> 29:28.260
You guys have been chasing those last few VRS points,

29:28.420 --> 29:30.500
securing the spot, the major. That was the big goal.

29:30.660 --> 29:31.660
Mission accomplished.

29:31.940 --> 29:33.780
What's the goals now?

29:33.940 --> 29:36.100
What happens? Does it feel like a loss of direction?

29:36.100 --> 29:39.540
but the main goal achieved, what's the mindset coming into RIA?

29:39.540 --> 29:43.460
Yeah, it was a close call on the major. We definitely could have done a lot better

29:43.460 --> 29:48.500
and we have been working hard since to improve for this event and also for the next ones.

29:49.300 --> 29:53.700
Yeah, and how is that workflow for you? I mean, this is still quite a new jersey for you

29:53.700 --> 29:58.740
fitting into the team and finding your way in which to kind of leave your mark.

29:58.740 --> 29:59.860
How is that development going?

30:00.500 --> 30:05.140
It's going good. We are trying to find our ground and also trying to create a culture

30:05.140 --> 30:11.940
together including now Mario in the lineup who we really like so far and yeah I think we're promising

30:11.940 --> 30:17.380
and we'll just be better and better by the time goes by. Yeah okay so it is about time speaking of

30:17.380 --> 30:21.860
time I've known this guy for a long time I was about to call you an old timer that was crazy

30:21.860 --> 30:26.740
yeah you're still looking fresh-faced bright-eyed but she tailed how was Rotterdam how was Dracula?

30:28.100 --> 30:31.140
I mean obviously the Rotterdam event we didn't go too far unfortunately but we

30:31.140 --> 30:32.140
We showed good sign.

30:32.140 --> 30:34.580
Did you explore the city of Rotterdam?

30:34.580 --> 30:35.580
No, no.

30:35.580 --> 30:39.340
I mean, I already spent a lot of time in the Netherlands with Liquid anyway, so I've seen

30:39.340 --> 30:43.780
some nice places in the Netherlands, but yeah, no, and then Draculaan was a throwback

30:43.780 --> 30:47.420
to the past, just being in a room with a bunch of other gamers, just getting loud, hearing

30:47.420 --> 30:51.860
everybody cheer here and there, so it was fun, but unfortunately, with our current

30:51.860 --> 30:55.260
form that we've had in a long time, we haven't been able to make it too far

30:55.260 --> 30:58.940
into these events, but hopefully one of those days come where we can have a

30:58.940 --> 30:59.940
deeper.

30:59.940 --> 31:05.140
I mean, it's obviously not an easy fix. Otherwise, it would have been fixed by now. So is it just

31:05.140 --> 31:10.420
something that's kind of still out of grasp, out of reach? You can't put words to it?

31:10.420 --> 31:14.580
Yeah. I mean, I feel like even over the years, even last year, I think when you look at the

31:14.580 --> 31:19.300
team on paper, the teams look good. So I think a lot of it just comes down to internal things,

31:19.300 --> 31:23.940
just playing as team and being teammates. So we just need to improve upon those.

31:23.940 --> 31:27.540
Nice to see your boy doing his signature. Are you going to mix it up? I think you

31:27.540 --> 31:33.060
have just written NAF every time every year. Yeah, no, I'm just gonna have the same one. Yeah. Yeah.

31:33.060 --> 31:38.180
Oh, it's a special one because my mom drew. Did she really? That's okay. That's some fun intel.

31:38.180 --> 31:43.700
I like that. But it's my mom's right. So yeah, she's in the game. Yeah, that's beautiful. I'm

31:43.700 --> 31:49.460
going to go know your teammates. It's the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is day two of the group

31:49.460 --> 31:52.900
stage where I've got sponge to open up the show with me today. Looks a counter strike

31:52.900 --> 31:55.780
yesterday. What was your highlight coming up? The fact that there were no upsets.

31:55.780 --> 32:08.780
That was my highlight of the day. The fact that we went through an entire day one of an IEM without a single upset and I know that's not the most glamorous, but yeah, no upsets. That's really excited me as a counter strike enthusiast.

32:08.780 --> 32:19.780
Which means that Vitality take one step closer to these coveted gold bars. They could become the first team to go back to back to become the first two-time ESL Grand Slime Champion. Is it pretty likely right now?

32:19.780 --> 32:22.580
Yeah, who's going to stop them or are they going to stop themselves?

32:22.580 --> 32:24.020
I think that's probably the question, right?

32:24.020 --> 32:26.580
Because you look at the contenders, the field is in flux.

32:26.580 --> 32:30.860
Some people are saying it's a little bit weak or is a vitality

32:30.860 --> 32:34.140
who are very self aware of the fact that, hey, these streaks hung on forever.

32:34.140 --> 32:36.940
What are we talking 24 consecutive maps without a loss?

32:37.060 --> 32:38.340
Seventeen straight series.

32:38.340 --> 32:40.060
Last year, they knew that a loss was going to come,

32:40.060 --> 32:43.020
but it didn't come until the major against legacy, right?

32:43.020 --> 32:44.020
So that was a best one.

32:44.020 --> 32:44.980
That was a whole different story.

32:44.980 --> 32:46.900
Yes. I think these are theirs.

32:46.900 --> 32:49.340
Yeah, I think you might be right in that suspicion.

32:49.340 --> 32:54.500
I post that question to flames. You say okay this time last year you're on the precipice of doing a mob when you're on a streak

32:54.500 --> 32:57.820
What's the difference between this time last year and right now?

32:57.820 --> 33:01.960
And he actually said the he feels like feel the competition is actually weaker. So

33:03.500 --> 33:07.220
Yeah, that's tough isn't it if that's why it goes back to vitality, right?

33:07.220 --> 33:10.260
They're their own biggest enemy at the moment and so far

33:10.500 --> 33:15.820
They're their best friend friends that they're always focused. They're always locked in they're never getting in their way

33:15.820 --> 33:17.480
this team is

33:17.480 --> 33:22.520
setting the precedent for how professional counter shall be played just like a strahler's did all those years ago, right?

33:22.520 --> 33:26.320
That's why so many comparisons they're going to be taken on g2 to be opening up the day on the a stream

33:26.320 --> 33:32.120
We also have spirit versus falcons as our second game now spirit finally managing to bid farewell to the demons have not been

33:32.120 --> 33:35.440
able to take down that nico and monosidoro back at pgl

33:35.440 --> 33:40.600
So I'm very excited to see what goes on and I thought you're gonna say use flashes because that's what if I had a second most

33:40.600 --> 33:43.840
Impressed with thing yesterday was the utility usage and the fact that they look like a team

33:43.840 --> 33:45.880
I really liked what spirit we're getting up to yesterday

33:45.880 --> 33:49.040
I hope that this is them turning a corner because you've got Donk, right?

33:49.040 --> 33:53.640
This is the team that we're expecting to be running deep in tournaments and challenging a team like Vitality.

33:53.640 --> 33:58.040
Well, by the way, let's get the show started. It's time to kick off the Intel Extreme Masters Rear 2026.

34:15.880 --> 34:21.880
Rafa really making history, absolutely phenomenal.

34:21.880 --> 34:27.880
And Ace is the champion of the Intel Extreme after World Final.

34:27.880 --> 34:31.880
Storm still not quite done, and he is going to take this fight though.

34:31.880 --> 34:32.880
Three seconds left.

34:32.880 --> 34:36.880
All of us two rounds, I don't know if he's going to start it, but we're going to see.

34:36.880 --> 34:41.880
And this is a massive move this is, but he's not content with just the Nexus kill.

34:41.880 --> 34:43.420
He will drag them out.

34:43.420 --> 34:44.920
She's gonna get it.

34:44.920 --> 34:46.260
And it's all done.

34:46.260 --> 34:48.760
I'm trolling, Chris.

34:48.760 --> 34:54.060
Unbelievable room, with a four-star victory over Classic.

34:54.060 --> 34:57.060
And they did it again in the Grand Final.

34:57.060 --> 34:59.060
It's gonna be.

34:59.060 --> 35:01.060
Come on.

35:01.060 --> 35:02.060
Come on.

35:02.060 --> 35:05.560
You're gonna bring your damn tail, extreme masters.

35:05.560 --> 35:06.560
Come on.

35:06.560 --> 35:08.560
No, Chris.

35:08.560 --> 35:25.200
The Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with Intel,

35:25.200 --> 35:26.200
Acer Predator

35:28.260 --> 35:29.260
Jax

35:32.160 --> 35:33.660
and DHL

35:37.800 --> 35:41.300
We've got Nertz in his G2 jersey and he's ready to be taken on by Taliyah

35:41.300 --> 35:43.800
I do want to ask about your game yesterday versus Gentlemates

35:43.800 --> 35:46.100
First map of Inferno, a little bit complicated

35:46.100 --> 35:47.600
Do you guys, what happened there?

35:47.600 --> 35:53.300
I think it was a little bit shaky and Nervs came in the game

35:53.300 --> 35:59.100
And I feel like we were not like, I feel like a lot of players didn't take initiative in the game,

35:59.100 --> 36:00.900
and this is what caused us the game.

36:00.900 --> 36:03.700
And in the second game, we just reset and we moved on.

36:03.700 --> 36:06.500
Overpass, as you said, completely different story, map 3.

36:06.500 --> 36:10.300
One of your best tea sides that we've ever seen you guys in G2 post up.

36:10.300 --> 36:13.100
What was the story then? Why were you able to kind of lock in?

36:13.100 --> 36:17.100
I think Overpass is a big kind of map that you can take space everywhere

36:17.100 --> 36:21.500
enough to decide about the mid-calls, and this is something that we did perfectly.

36:21.500 --> 36:29.860
We are heard from H1CV obviously without Hunter being here, the Sampires has taken up most of the call in duty, you're helping out as well, can you tell me about that balance and how it's been struck?

36:29.860 --> 36:40.260
I think it depends on the map but Sampires is basically our IGL, I'm helping a lot about mid calls most of the times but he's doing a really good job.

36:40.260 --> 36:44.300
Is that a lot of pressure to you considering you're pretty new into duty?

36:44.300 --> 36:51.660
I mean like every time when we're tournaments I was the guy that doesn't understand some people help me, but now I'm trying not to focus about myself

36:51.660 --> 36:56.460
I'm trying to help some players and talk about it, and I feel like we are doing fine job

36:56.860 --> 37:01.820
Final question vitality obviously nobody's favorite opponent surface. Let's be honest

37:01.820 --> 37:07.820
What goes through your head when you know you're taking them on you'll be surprised by vitality is one of the teams that have it feels like

37:07.820 --> 37:10.540
They're not doing something crazy. They're not playing like

37:10.540 --> 37:14.020
I think they're playing simple

37:14.020 --> 37:15.020
CS are playing the best CS are

37:15.020 --> 37:16.020
the best team in the history,

37:16.020 --> 37:18.020
but for me, they're one of the

37:18.020 --> 37:20.020
teams that I feel comfortable

37:20.020 --> 37:21.020
the most to play against. Very

37:21.020 --> 37:22.020
looking forward to seeing it go

37:22.020 --> 37:24.020
down there. Thank you so much

37:24.020 --> 37:26.020
for your time. Good luck. I've

37:26.020 --> 37:28.020
got egg stars ahead of our

37:28.020 --> 37:30.020
bouncy series versus due to

37:30.020 --> 37:31.020
yesterday versus recognized

37:31.020 --> 37:33.020
made sense that you are one

37:33.020 --> 37:34.020
pretty handedly in that one,

37:34.020 --> 37:36.020
but something we always notice

37:36.020 --> 37:37.020
about vitality is even when

37:37.020 --> 37:38.020
you're playing a team that's

37:38.020 --> 37:39.020
much below you in the

37:39.020 --> 37:40.020
rankings, the mentality still

37:40.020 --> 37:42.900
spirit when you're playing the Falcons, when you're playing the Maus. Is that something

37:42.900 --> 37:46.980
that you kind of work with the guys to make sure they're always treating every single game

37:46.980 --> 37:48.540
the same?

37:48.540 --> 37:53.540
I think we did in the past, but nowadays we know you can beat everyone. So even though

37:53.540 --> 37:57.780
we are the best team in the world, you have a bad day, you have a good day you can lose,

37:57.780 --> 38:02.700
so we have exactly the same prep, the same opponent, we try to find new things against

38:02.700 --> 38:03.700
any opponent, supposedly.

38:03.700 --> 38:07.700
I think the running joke of this event is who's going to come second to Vitality,

38:07.700 --> 38:11.340
Right, who do you look at as the biggest contender,

38:11.340 --> 38:14.580
the biggest threat to you at the moment out of all the teams?

38:14.580 --> 38:17.860
Ha, I don't know.

38:17.860 --> 38:21.500
I don't want to say ourself is too easy.

38:21.500 --> 38:23.460
Fragments can be dangerous with the situation,

38:23.460 --> 38:27.500
a bit less pressure, as they are good usually.

38:27.500 --> 38:30.300
I don't know about spirit, furiotto.

38:30.300 --> 38:33.020
Furiot can be good.

38:33.020 --> 38:35.460
Yeah, and of course Navi, because the teams are really good.

38:35.460 --> 38:37.420
Yes, either way, G2 today,

38:37.420 --> 38:40.420
Obviously, less than ideal situation with Hunter not being here.

38:40.420 --> 38:44.420
Does that affect your prep at all when you know that the guys are playing with the stand-in?

38:44.420 --> 38:48.420
Yeah, a little bit, because I think they can play a bit more relaxed.

38:48.420 --> 38:53.420
We watched the game yesterday, and we saw different crazy moves that much,

38:53.420 --> 38:59.420
but that's something, for example, if you got going out Palace on Mirage,

38:59.420 --> 39:02.420
it's not a player usually trying to do something like that.

39:02.420 --> 39:09.160
So yeah, we had to adapt but at the same time we can also think about our game not over thinking because yeah

39:09.240 --> 39:13.060
If you start to say okay, they can do whatever they want you don't play your game

39:13.060 --> 39:17.880
So I want to make sure today we expect our plan and what we want to thank you so much for your insight

39:17.880 --> 39:19.880
It's always excess. Good luck

39:21.280 --> 39:25.060
Fantastic first day of play for all of the higher seats

39:25.060 --> 39:27.080
We have zero upsets coming into this one

39:27.080 --> 39:31.360
It was chance highlight joining me now the casting desk because we've got g2 vitality to start off day two

39:31.360 --> 39:37.900
I'm excited for this one, the rise to start and of course expecting a bit of a caveat expecting a bit of spice to the G2 game plan

39:38.200 --> 39:41.560
X-Tas already highlighting that they're doing a little bit break of the norm

39:42.000 --> 39:44.500
With no hunter to call the shots. Yeah, that's right

39:44.500 --> 39:48.480
We just heard from nerds there's some past doing the calling and they've got tack from G2 areas

39:48.480 --> 39:51.480
The academy standing in who's just been plugged in the hunters positions

39:51.480 --> 39:55.040
But positions in the last month have been changing an awful lot for G2

39:55.360 --> 39:58.500
almost a month of the day that nerds mouth swap happens so

39:58.500 --> 40:05.260
musical chairs as we do get the pistol round. It's going to be an A-play. U2 in the sky. Apex

40:05.260 --> 40:11.740
under the balcony. Messi debate for it. Apex got to hear this first headshot. It's heavy

40:11.740 --> 40:16.100
guard to pass in. Apex does very well traded out by Matis. Some pious finding Flamesee

40:16.100 --> 40:21.060
opens up the site and Matis has even put a cherry on top by removing Messi pushing

40:21.060 --> 40:24.660
through that jungle smoke. Zaiwu and Robs though. Not ones I'm willing to write

40:24.660 --> 40:31.900
out immediately. However, with a deep CT smoke blooming and Zywoo's searching over the top

40:31.900 --> 40:36.300
of the smoke, things are not looking too comfortable.

40:36.300 --> 40:43.420
Rops will go down on the reload here. Mattis just charges through the smoke deals with him

40:43.420 --> 40:47.620
and now it is just Zywoo might want to hold onto the Kevlar. Starting to back off.

40:47.620 --> 40:53.820
If you can find anything but Mattis the left he he sense that round right as that grabs the pistol

40:54.380 --> 40:59.380
Or G2 beautiful work and again it is very important to reinforce the less pressure

40:59.940 --> 41:04.020
Conversation obviously you're going up against the world number one. There's no doubt about that

41:05.020 --> 41:09.540
But the fact that they're willing to look at that. You saw that smoke just kind of bounce off the head there

41:10.420 --> 41:12.180
Little bit too late

41:12.180 --> 41:16.300
It's a good work just simple stuff executing inside and some really good shots there for Mattis

41:16.300 --> 41:22.300
He's someone who's had to change his positions on this map since the Nerds edition, but back into things with a forced buy.

41:22.300 --> 41:23.300
Heavy mid-fight.

41:23.300 --> 41:30.300
Yeah, very big. Look at this charge. There's going to be four players to receive them, though, and it is all good in the G2 hood.

41:30.300 --> 41:34.300
Double from Nerds. Some pious catches. Apex swinging out of connector.

41:34.300 --> 41:43.300
And yeah, second round. We sometimes talk about the difficulties you can encounter. Vitality is so proficient in the absence of a pistol, winning the second round force, but G2 handle it very comfortably.

41:43.300 --> 41:45.300
Yes, and very quick rounds to kick off the campaign.

41:45.300 --> 41:48.540
campaign and the fact this was the four so they get almost nothing done this I'm

41:48.540 --> 41:51.840
very disappointed for apex so to be an eco coming to next we are just on board

41:51.840 --> 41:54.900
with rops who's wandering over towards the B apartments while the bomb gets

41:54.900 --> 42:01.100
planted on a so G2 sitting pretty to get this three zero star on the T side of

42:01.100 --> 42:09.820
their map choice I think all the legacy building or record building that

42:09.820 --> 42:17.260
Vitality have been up to. We're talking 24 consecutive maps, 17 series. When you look at

42:17.260 --> 42:23.500
their maps, I'll start at the top. D2, they've won the last 13 consecutively, over past the last 13.

42:23.500 --> 42:27.660
Anubis, 9 straight, Inferno, 6 straight, Nuke, 6 straight, and then Mirage.

42:28.620 --> 42:32.620
This is their, quote unquote, weakest map. It's only the last three.

42:32.620 --> 42:38.220
So, G2 looking to try and capitalize on that as Robs.

42:38.220 --> 42:40.380
Okay, he gets something for his troubles.

42:40.380 --> 42:45.020
He'll be staying alive if he doesn't poke up his head and, yes, okay, keeps the 5-7, gets

42:45.020 --> 42:48.680
himself a kill, carries it through the next round of play, but all in all, the investment's

42:48.680 --> 42:51.300
going to this one will have to be extremely limited from Vitality.

42:51.300 --> 42:57.340
Give us an opportunity to talk a bit about the Lithuanian tack.

42:57.340 --> 42:58.340
Back with this cat.

42:58.340 --> 42:59.340
It is cat.

42:59.340 --> 43:00.340
Oh, yeah.

43:00.340 --> 43:01.340
With a K.

43:01.340 --> 43:02.340
Cat with a K.

43:02.340 --> 43:06.420
from Lithuania and tack with a T who has, you know, kind of shaken off those initial

43:06.420 --> 43:19.340
It's first map was a bit rough yesterday. Understandable, right? You're playing the big boy lands. The second map a bit more of what you'd expect. The third is the top performer. 10% rounds with another pass as well. So very impressive. And against

43:19.340 --> 43:20.360
against Gentlemates, right?

43:20.360 --> 43:22.600
So a bit on the line and that one is this eco mode

43:22.600 --> 43:23.900
and we'll just continue.

43:23.900 --> 43:25.680
Supply scrubs the first two, but,

43:25.680 --> 43:28.640
Supply is the key going against Gentlemates, the Spaniards.

43:28.640 --> 43:31.880
I'm sure Gentlemates as an org would have loved to have won

43:31.880 --> 43:33.680
that game to get to take on Vitality again.

43:33.680 --> 43:37.040
We know that as far as the French counter strikes

43:37.040 --> 43:40.720
in is concerned, it's a rivalry of some sort.

43:40.720 --> 43:41.720
A little bit of a kerfuffly,

43:41.720 --> 43:43.000
but all in all just two casualties.

43:43.000 --> 43:45.200
Nurtz and Matus go down, the eco round dealt with,

43:45.200 --> 43:46.360
and now we get into the gun.

43:46.360 --> 43:47.740
So let's see, Vitality.

43:49.340 --> 43:56.100
Listen to that. Yeah, and he was saying if people want to go listen to the HLTV.org interview conducted with him yesterday

43:56.420 --> 43:58.780
Some differences you're saying in the academy team

43:58.780 --> 44:02.500
He's normally the second voice in the squad, but you're saying with this complexion

44:02.500 --> 44:06.020
I'm not saying this is a pug, but this is a team when you when you have a stand-in

44:06.220 --> 44:09.460
You want him to feel comfortable because you you need him to contribute

44:09.460 --> 44:11.180
You know, he's not just there to fill out the numbers

44:11.180 --> 44:13.660
I you picked him from the academy for a reason

44:13.860 --> 44:17.740
So you want to allow him to make a couple of plays and he's making one early

44:17.740 --> 44:21.620
So once with this B-Flight and he gets it, Mezzie will be forced off the line.

44:22.260 --> 44:24.700
The head of the Util forces out the HE as well.

44:26.220 --> 44:30.500
So forcing the B-Player to dump his Util is rather a barren belt for Mezzie.

44:31.420 --> 44:32.900
They do have the AWP on Zywoo.

44:32.900 --> 44:35.540
Oh, that's a big mate on a matters of the top midboxers.

44:35.540 --> 44:36.620
Perfect timing.

44:36.620 --> 44:38.740
But realistically, that was just an opening move.

44:38.740 --> 44:40.620
All right, let's see if we can find the B-Pick.

44:40.620 --> 44:41.940
If not, we apply the pressure.

44:41.940 --> 44:43.900
As you mentioned, Util comes out and they were

44:44.620 --> 44:46.540
relatively just settled into a default.

44:46.540 --> 44:51.660
So, rejigging on both sides of the server, Rock Suite still in vent room, Apex towards the window,

44:52.420 --> 44:54.860
Flamzy starting close ramp and continues there.

44:58.220 --> 45:00.900
This will be some type of an A-split starting to come together.

45:01.340 --> 45:03.580
A good amount of utility for the finish right now for G2.

45:03.580 --> 45:05.100
TAC needs to clear out close ramp.

45:06.620 --> 45:07.620
Flamzy blocks.

45:10.060 --> 45:10.900
Oh, beautiful.

45:10.900 --> 45:12.620
Heavy God just catches the perfect time.

45:12.620 --> 45:14.420
It walks out of Palace but traded.

45:14.420 --> 45:16.180
Flamzy pays a heavy price.

45:16.180 --> 45:16.900
Oh!

45:18.500 --> 45:19.620
That is just dead.

45:19.620 --> 45:22.900
Over to what's tapped. Just deleted. That was a quick burst from Robs.

45:26.900 --> 45:28.260
Oh, and nerds.

45:28.260 --> 45:31.700
Coming out through the underpass, Apex staying proactive on the CT side.

45:31.700 --> 45:35.140
Flamesy still, managing to get value out of his low HP cowering on the back

45:35.140 --> 45:38.020
as Apex does peek on through. Attacked by Tevelling!

45:38.020 --> 45:38.900
It's clean.

45:39.780 --> 45:40.980
Okay, on the border.

45:40.980 --> 45:44.100
You just heard from Xtaz in the pregame interview discussing the fact that

45:44.100 --> 45:49.040
There's some crazy moves they saw when they were watching yesterday's game back like heavy

45:49.040 --> 45:53.260
God just walking out of palace. I think he did exactly that right the fact that flingy

45:53.260 --> 45:58.220
takes contact towards ramp heavy God just waltzes out finds the gap. It's a very important

45:58.220 --> 46:04.660
kill to make but this was that burst from Ross. Well done from the a defense and three

46:04.660 --> 46:08.220
to one the score as we back out with the guns. This one's more direct maybe more

46:08.220 --> 46:12.020
pace on this some pious boosted up towards a to see if you can catch a player crossing

46:12.020 --> 46:24.220
con. Bomb down a T spawn so cancel the pace. Suspicious of the smoke flamethrower. Crouch

46:24.220 --> 46:27.940
is around trying to find that angle onto the head of nerds but he's managing his angles

46:27.940 --> 46:37.060
well. Apex coming to burrow in again.

46:37.060 --> 46:43.580
have to be late through underpass the bomb gonna be picked up from Madison a

46:43.580 --> 46:45.820
moment

46:52.820 --> 46:56.820
and have you got again in palace knocking on the door he's at least

46:56.820 --> 46:59.940
acknowledged him but goes and gives him the fight you gotta be brave crazy

46:59.940 --> 47:04.540
apex though does catch him off guard climbs up the ladder and then so we're

47:04.540 --> 47:07.740
from CT, just pickin' the best double kill from him.

47:07.740 --> 47:08.780
Spray through the boards though.

47:08.780 --> 47:11.140
Nerds on Sandwich has got an opportunity to retrieve.

47:11.140 --> 47:13.020
That bomber make this two versus four

47:13.020 --> 47:14.700
into something more manageable.

47:14.700 --> 47:16.420
Tak needed to win that once.

47:16.420 --> 47:17.780
Zywooz managed to find his third.

47:17.780 --> 47:22.140
Reloquates from CT towards the jungle side for number three.

47:22.140 --> 47:23.140
Okay, Nerds in the clutch.

47:23.140 --> 47:24.140
Gets the first.

47:25.940 --> 47:27.740
Fact that he still has the AWP though.

47:27.740 --> 47:29.860
That's, if he could have gone back to an AK,

47:29.860 --> 47:31.380
I might have a little bit more faith

47:31.380 --> 47:32.220
in him getting this one down.

47:32.220 --> 47:33.060
Let's see Nerds.

47:33.060 --> 47:34.220
1v3 with the AWP.

47:34.220 --> 47:37.420
first one to his name. I mean,

47:37.420 --> 47:39.020
with Zaheem, so low HP, it doesn't

47:39.020 --> 47:40.720
really matter. You let him play, right?

47:40.720 --> 47:42.320
You have to let him play, let him

47:42.320 --> 47:43.620
make the next move and then deal with

47:43.620 --> 47:45.120
him. Don't give him another kill.

47:50.720 --> 47:52.720
Oh, the timing! I love the

47:52.720 --> 47:53.720
Restraint and Messi there, right?

47:53.720 --> 47:55.220
Doesn't swing immediately, aware of

47:55.220 --> 47:56.520
the fake possibility, knowing that

47:56.520 --> 47:57.820
Zaheem has gone to investigate the

47:57.820 --> 47:59.820
reroute over towards B, waits to go,

47:59.820 --> 48:01.520
okay, well, if he is committing,

48:01.520 --> 48:03.320
I'll catch him. If not, we'll

48:03.320 --> 48:07.360
get in mid way through the fake. And because time was so low, the plant had to come through.

48:07.360 --> 48:10.240
But this is a crazy play from Apex, right? The fact that you know that there's a player

48:10.240 --> 48:15.480
in Palace and you've just come up the ladder in that regard is absolutely wild. Apex would

48:15.480 --> 48:19.120
be round winning maneuver, IMA Joe. And as I was the man to get the kills, but Apex

48:19.120 --> 48:23.640
do it. That stuns their progression on the site and forces them now to just an

48:23.640 --> 48:29.600
eco. A Diggle for Heavy God, everybody else with the Glox is vitality. Sure, you lose

48:29.600 --> 48:33.920
the pistol you lose the force it's pretty flat but you're back in it once the guns come out so

48:35.280 --> 48:37.440
regular scheduled programming at least for now

48:40.560 --> 48:46.080
just banging games all day on the a stream and again returning to the point of having none of

48:46.640 --> 48:51.200
the favorites lose and I understand there's some stand-in factors or that kicks in is on the

48:51.200 --> 48:55.680
way out over there in the falcons camp you heard from x-tas what that could do in terms of

48:55.680 --> 48:59.440
the mindset from a positive perspective. Obviously, there's the negative too,

49:00.480 --> 49:04.320
but spirit versus falcons, that's a banger for bringing up the fact that they have been able

49:04.320 --> 49:08.480
to get past them in at least the most recent outing that plague spirit for some time.

49:08.480 --> 49:15.120
I am going to lose my mind if they actually pull off this fake B plant A4-1 against Vitality.

49:15.120 --> 49:18.960
There's no, like you'd have to get a deagle headshot or two in order to sell this.

49:19.520 --> 49:24.880
Yeah, I, with a team like Vitality, unless the players are a little bit sleepy, you're

49:24.880 --> 49:27.600
You're going to be calming numbers and bombs very important, right?

49:27.600 --> 49:31.680
One of the keys is to make sure that the communication is as clear as possible,

49:31.680 --> 49:33.840
but the other being the detail of the console. Here they come.

49:35.040 --> 49:36.920
And Messi's not calling for backup.

49:36.920 --> 49:38.360
He might if another one happens.

49:38.360 --> 49:41.440
Heavy God's hit the deagle shot and flames he's starting to maneuver back.

49:41.440 --> 49:42.800
He's so aware.

49:42.800 --> 49:43.800
I still get the plant, though.

49:43.800 --> 49:45.320
Three, two, done.

49:45.320 --> 49:47.680
Oh, I like the...

49:47.680 --> 49:48.320
Oh, it's the same.

49:48.320 --> 49:49.320
Always the same.

49:52.600 --> 49:53.520
That won't fail like that.

49:53.520 --> 49:57.440
pretty good understanding of the situation either way. So some cheekyness coming out there, there's

49:57.440 --> 50:02.880
nerds. Did his best to try and give them a little $600 cash injection across the board, but the

50:02.880 --> 50:10.400
tactical timeout caught from sore. So they will not have an AWP available for some pious. That

50:10.400 --> 50:18.640
means it is going to be rifle heavy. Now in their first gun round, TAC had a spawn and he

50:18.640 --> 50:23.920
only wanted to use it. Right. So you're seeing that didn't necessarily come in with a hard

50:23.920 --> 50:27.560
and hard game plan that they had to follow being a bit more fluid in how they want to

50:27.560 --> 50:31.000
approach these rounds. But now with saw taking to the mic, I'm sure he's going to establish

50:31.000 --> 50:40.360
something a little bit more set is the bomb almost going down flames. He just denied

50:40.360 --> 50:48.600
that. And is that a go to strap? Then I think it could be a nerd's classic.

50:48.600 --> 50:50.600
Maybe I either way

50:53.880 --> 50:55.880
Here we go

50:57.720 --> 51:02.420
Back again going for this pressure on to messy early and it does inflict significant damage

51:02.420 --> 51:05.880
I like the confidence from him to look for these fights and make moves

51:05.880 --> 51:07.880
That's what you want from the player or

51:08.680 --> 51:12.320
Go on. He's got messy and ropes on notice. That's not bad at all. Is it?

51:13.000 --> 51:17.240
45 points of health between the two of the B defenders right now. So on notice for this one is

51:18.600 --> 51:20.720
Mid control has been garnered and given.

51:21.520 --> 51:22.960
Vitality aren't fighting for this.

51:22.960 --> 51:24.560
It's Zybu in connector on his learn.

51:24.560 --> 51:26.160
Some Apex floating around window,

51:26.160 --> 51:29.120
just trying to puff up and cause some damage.

51:29.120 --> 51:30.600
That one could have been lethal.

51:36.840 --> 51:39.560
Tiny gap for Zybu hoping to finish off the job.

51:40.640 --> 51:41.600
Nice jiggle, B.

51:41.760 --> 51:43.000
He's bashing all the tests.

51:43.000 --> 51:45.760
An Apex trying to jumping A4 in here.

51:45.760 --> 51:51.920
Without Hunter, I wonder how proficient they are with the window boosts.

51:51.920 --> 51:53.520
They're the old master.

51:53.520 --> 51:58.000
Mezzie, taking some B space, this will inform them now, likely to be an A split.

51:58.000 --> 52:01.760
Yeah, informed by Zywoo, spotting that underpass player.

52:03.760 --> 52:06.040
CT smoked. Flash is going to be coming over the top.

52:06.040 --> 52:09.160
Flames E, looking the wrong way, gets sidelined by Heavy God.

52:09.160 --> 52:10.840
Mishot from Zywoo for the attempted trade.

52:10.840 --> 52:14.160
A little bit of damage onto Nertz, but it's still not going to be easy.

52:44.160 --> 52:51.680
short, there's no way back for Zywoo. That'll be the fourth round for G2, so very well done.

52:51.680 --> 52:55.920
Zywoo should be getting away with this now. It matters with the parving, and that'll be that.

52:55.920 --> 53:01.360
So, a little round there. It started with all that damage over to which B that made them

53:01.360 --> 53:04.800
skittish, but Mezzi still ended up with a push, which informed them, but all in all,

53:06.160 --> 53:12.640
can't argue with the result. Apex just there, saying let's fight for mid.

53:12.640 --> 53:15.040
So not allowing them to have all this room.

53:15.040 --> 53:17.440
If you're going to play Xtrem, he's going to play side focus.

53:17.440 --> 53:21.440
You're a little bit more worried about side executes, or side lear outs.

53:21.440 --> 53:24.160
If you're going to fight for this mid control, you're not going to give them all this space.

53:24.160 --> 53:29.440
But if G2 also fight for mid control, the round can be decided in this skirmish.

53:32.960 --> 53:36.560
So not an immediate shelf, not jumping out, running up, pushing through underpass.

53:36.560 --> 53:52.080
us. I'd allow G2 to establish the under window control close con then pop into action. Flamesy

53:52.080 --> 54:00.720
Apex and Robs ready to clamp down on middle. That's a flash for the majority. Nerd spotted

54:00.720 --> 54:06.080
and Robs eliminated. Apex goes back and fought it for tat, leaves us in a three on three.

54:06.080 --> 54:09.760
Oops, smoke though. That's ambitious. Masi, well positioned to receive onto Tak.

54:09.760 --> 54:11.680
It was a good reaction from Tak.

54:11.680 --> 54:14.320
I understand it looks silly with him coming through the grey screen,

54:14.320 --> 54:18.240
but the way that they fought mid just there, you would expect it to be four to five of the players

54:18.240 --> 54:22.640
pushing out into that space, so it surely goes down for free, but there's an educated gamble

54:22.640 --> 54:25.600
that doesn't pay off. Some pirates and heavy god now paired up towards A.

54:26.720 --> 54:28.640
They should be able to get in and get the bomb down.

54:29.840 --> 54:31.920
Kits on Zawoo and Flames.

54:31.920 --> 54:32.800
Straight to CT.

54:32.800 --> 54:39.800
Never mind, no sticks around jungle, even though the smoke's up.

54:39.800 --> 54:50.320
Fake, but Zyra's got the HE, he can scuttle across, and that smoke's not gonna last forever.

54:50.320 --> 54:51.820
I have to plant safe now.

54:51.820 --> 54:55.080
Oh dear, some piracy's gonna be able to shoot back, try and go for the plant, but on

54:55.080 --> 54:59.480
his head, HE not dead, 2 HP, still goes light though.

54:59.480 --> 55:04.020
If he got in that clutch with 20 seconds, the pressure on him to plant, Flash can get him across,

55:04.020 --> 55:07.820
base the shot, gets across, still needs to get that bomb down.

55:09.820 --> 55:13.720
Can't find it, he can't find it, it's a little wider than he hoped and now still with 7 seconds,

55:13.720 --> 55:16.220
isolates the jewel and has just enough time to plant.

55:16.220 --> 55:20.860
Heavy God doing everything for G2, just Mezzie to get passed up on the stairs.

55:20.860 --> 55:24.540
Heavy damage but Heavy God, overcomes!

55:24.540 --> 55:27.820
Big clutch, big damage, fifth round for G2.

55:27.820 --> 55:30.500
Okay, that run right there is gonna taste...

55:31.060 --> 55:32.060
Oh, okay!

55:33.220 --> 55:36.900
Well, I don't think we got the audio coming through that, but there was a bit of back and forth.

55:36.900 --> 55:37.900
I could hear it through my head.

55:37.900 --> 55:38.900
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

55:39.380 --> 55:42.540
So you think this is the moment where round falls apart,

55:42.540 --> 55:44.980
if some person get the bomb down, he can survive to a default.

55:44.980 --> 55:47.780
Have you got some small control? They can set something up between the two of them.

55:48.540 --> 55:51.180
But yeah, the timing was the most impressive part of all of that.

55:51.660 --> 55:52.860
Oh, fuck you!

55:53.060 --> 55:54.060
Oh, you're alive!

55:54.060 --> 56:02.700
Oh, okay. Well, uh, some pirates. Oh, no, we've missed that one. It's just a partial investment

56:02.700 --> 56:10.220
for vitality. This is six rounds now for G2, all but confirmed flashes over mid fight.

56:10.220 --> 56:16.860
Here it comes. Oh, they didn't clear notes. They just focused on me. Still, are you

56:16.860 --> 56:19.980
ready for another one? Probably not. And that's because Mattis is already beating

56:19.980 --> 56:29.340
them up to the punch at top mid I respect this from now it's big time they

56:29.340 --> 56:33.940
have everything to gain nothing to lose right this event hunter herds his foot I

56:33.940 --> 56:37.420
think when I say herds his foot it feels a little bit like condescending

56:37.420 --> 56:41.020
so he's stubbed his toe flew up like a balloon yeah how about we have a bit of

56:41.020 --> 56:45.780
that so they're here with a player from the Academy team they know that they're

56:45.780 --> 56:51.060
going up. It's a free swing of the king. It's your map choices. T side, you're setting the tempo,

56:51.060 --> 56:54.980
you win the pistol, you get the conversions. That's your foundation. That's your bedrock of rounds.

56:54.980 --> 56:59.860
And then on top of that, you've won yourself a clutch. You've forced them down to a partial bite.

57:00.420 --> 57:05.700
We've got three rounds left in the half. It's on vitality to turn this around and salvage a 6-6.

57:07.300 --> 57:10.900
Now, they knew last year, hey, we can't win forever. They were the ones saying,

57:10.900 --> 57:14.100
and we were all talking about, oh, look at this streak. It's crazy. How many maps they're

57:14.100 --> 57:19.220
win and that we're gonna lose eventually lost the legacy the best of one of the major and you know

57:19.220 --> 57:24.900
that was at the major the one we think that this is theirs to win so everyone's aware that it

57:24.900 --> 57:30.500
will happen at some point but is it now as this forced change in the dynamic for the vitality

57:30.500 --> 57:36.660
camp no window smoke they're hoping some pyres is given a 3d flash and swing some pyres pulls

57:36.660 --> 57:43.460
the trigger between the wickets caught out by robs straight into a vent boost after it as well so

57:44.100 --> 57:46.100
Just keep flowing well.

57:46.100 --> 57:48.100
Great flashbang work.

57:48.100 --> 57:50.100
Here's the boost. No Hunter, no problem.

57:50.100 --> 57:52.100
I'll get Nerts situated this time.

57:52.100 --> 57:54.100
Wow, Robs is anticipating that move.

57:54.100 --> 57:56.100
Knows it's something they need to do.

57:56.100 --> 57:58.100
Solid nade damage onto Nerts.

57:58.100 --> 58:00.100
Oh, they really want to harass Nerts.

58:00.100 --> 58:02.100
Nerts is up.

58:02.100 --> 58:04.100
Oh, walking through the smoke doesn't work out for Nerts.

58:04.100 --> 58:06.100
Vitality 5 alive.

58:06.100 --> 58:10.100
Heavy God on the rampside, hoping to make a difference.

58:10.100 --> 58:12.100
The bombs so disconnected from the two of them.

58:14.100 --> 58:17.100
Should be set for a 4th up the back of the X-Taz timeout.

58:24.700 --> 58:26.700
Solid positions here for Flamesy.

58:27.200 --> 58:30.600
Have you got again able to worm his way out and give himself a sandwich,

58:30.600 --> 58:33.200
but I don't think it's going to have the same potency as we've seen previous,

58:33.200 --> 58:35.000
so this one's a whole different set of affairs.

58:35.700 --> 58:39.000
Yeah, now that I know exactly where he is, everyone should just come and charge you in to deal with him,

58:39.000 --> 58:40.300
and there you have it.

58:40.500 --> 58:41.600
6-4.

58:44.100 --> 58:52.660
Okay, looking for the same type of play going to the next, I said their second opening kill,

58:52.660 --> 58:58.940
excuse me that was their third, but still winning out the line share of them so far

58:58.940 --> 59:03.620
is G2.

59:03.620 --> 59:07.780
It looks messy, but that's what G2 are kind of hoping for, to be able to take advantage

59:07.780 --> 59:15.420
of rotations, playing through smokes. That's what's fast, the pace change.

59:15.420 --> 59:18.940
Look at Matt, he's parving very quick towards the connector, fine, might catch Apex up, go

59:18.940 --> 59:24.380
off guard completely. Panced. And heavy god, hoping that was enough of a distraction, makes

59:24.380 --> 59:27.460
a step though, don't know if that was audible, he's not too far away.

59:27.460 --> 59:30.420
Robson's in this joker position, we highlight a lot with team Zomber Rage, right, that's

59:30.420 --> 59:35.220
the short player, he's over towards Ebb, but with Apex dead. Oh, Matt is clean. He's

59:35.220 --> 59:37.860
have a map 147 right now from the mad dog.

59:41.620 --> 59:44.900
Rob's the Joker, but doesn't matter if so we've got to. Yeah, sure.

59:44.900 --> 59:47.780
You get the job on the one a dink on tomatoes as well.

59:48.980 --> 59:50.540
You just going to go be.

59:53.780 --> 59:57.340
That is taking Rob's work, incredible work from Mattis.

59:58.180 --> 01:00:00.180
How has he won that out with the low HP?

01:00:00.180 --> 01:00:11.100
I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.

01:00:11.200 --> 01:00:12.860
Come on over. We can plan the

01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:13.960
bomb. I'm thinking right now.

01:00:14.060 --> 01:00:15.600
The best thing for me is to be

01:00:15.700 --> 01:00:16.700
able to save, but the fact is

01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:17.900
they're all over the map. So

01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:19.000
that's not the case. That's

01:00:19.100 --> 01:00:20.200
that's a little tap there in

01:00:20.300 --> 01:00:21.700
the back of the dome gets his

01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:22.700
fourth and around in the

01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:26.680
seventh for G two.

01:00:26.680 --> 01:00:31.680
It's good. It's good. He's

01:00:31.680 --> 01:00:32.680
giving him a taste of his own

01:00:32.680 --> 01:00:33.680
medicine. It's really is. It's

01:00:33.680 --> 01:00:35.680
when you say good as well, you're

01:00:35.680 --> 01:00:36.680
not just talking from like an

01:00:36.680 --> 01:00:37.680
entertainment perspective. You're

01:00:37.680 --> 01:00:39.680
talking the strategy of Banta.

01:00:39.680 --> 01:00:41.680
Well, if he pulls apex into this

01:00:41.680 --> 01:00:43.680
and apex is not as focused as

01:00:43.680 --> 01:00:44.680
he needs to be on the actual

01:00:44.680 --> 01:00:46.680
game and calling job done.

01:00:46.680 --> 01:00:48.680
We're all having a good time

01:00:48.680 --> 01:00:49.680
watching this back and forth.

01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:52.680
The rally of words final round

01:00:52.680 --> 01:00:54.680
first half vitality. You need

01:00:54.680 --> 01:00:55.680
to sandwich this one. He's

01:00:55.680 --> 01:00:59.440
He's once again, he loves to take this spawn and apply pressure to Mezzi.

01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:03.200
This time hasn't taken any chip damage from the Util Barrage a little bit.

01:01:03.200 --> 01:01:06.720
I'll say a little bit. Single point from the Trapnel of his HE.

01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:15.200
This is where for an 8-4 you start asking yourself, is this where the 24 consecutive

01:01:15.200 --> 01:01:19.920
map streak comes to a close? Again, acknowledging it's always going to happen, but

01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:23.760
when you're watching it unfold, the greatness of a team like Vitality,

01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:29.960
I want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes. If it comes to its close, sure. Great play

01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:35.660
from G2. If one of the clutches won the pistol, had some really nice moments. And taking it

01:01:35.660 --> 01:01:50.200
to Vitality, don't you worry about that. Back into another A-split. That is tacked through

01:01:50.200 --> 01:01:56.200
mid. That's rampant, surprise gunner on heavy gun and palace. 40 seconds.

01:01:56.200 --> 01:02:00.080
Oh, he hit that shot there, Zywoo, tanks him up, he backs away, doesn't go down to the

01:02:00.080 --> 01:02:05.920
neighbor, matters audible. Quick from Zywoo, flays him back, gets something onto stairs.

01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:10.320
Draws the attention of Apex. Flank from Robster's absolutely nothing. Lovely, impactful double

01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:15.640
kill from TAC. Academy player caught on the reload. It drops into site, bomb on

01:02:15.640 --> 01:02:19.240
the back of some pieced low HP though and Apex does need to get clear. They'll find

01:02:19.240 --> 01:02:21.240
He loves that sandwich, doesn't he?

01:02:21.240 --> 01:02:23.240
He really does. Snacks on it.

01:02:23.240 --> 01:02:25.240
Fast long range on to nerds.

01:02:25.240 --> 01:02:26.240
Oh, Khloé. 10 seconds.

01:02:26.240 --> 01:02:28.240
Very susceptible. We need to see that plant now.

01:02:28.240 --> 01:02:31.240
It's not going to be easy. Not going to be easy whatsoever.

01:02:31.240 --> 01:02:33.240
Zywu makes it so quad kill out of Zywu,

01:02:33.240 --> 01:02:36.240
but still a competitive half of the G2 have the lead.

01:02:36.240 --> 01:02:38.240
Is this where the streak ends?

01:05:49.240 --> 01:05:51.240
I don't know what to do!

01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:04.920
Darn! Darn!

01:06:05.420 --> 01:06:07.420
I cannot give you!

01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:13.920
You understand me!

01:06:14.520 --> 01:06:15.520
Me!

01:06:15.520 --> 01:06:40.480
An extra element to the playbook from G2, Nert has been engaging the tilt attempt, trying

01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:45.320
to get under Dan Maddasklaar's skin, counting of vitality. He wears his heart on his sleeve

01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:49.440
and typically he's the one that's showering at you trying to get under your skin.

01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:54.320
If anything, Apex started it, right? They tried that eco play with the bomb blast and

01:06:54.320 --> 01:07:00.360
then after that it really got started. But Mirage, a 7-5 first half T side G2 with

01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:03.200
a standing. That's all of it. It kind of encapsulated what's happening right here

01:07:03.200 --> 01:07:07.000
right now. But vitality, it's all about the streaks. They're keeping their clothes

01:07:07.000 --> 01:07:12.840
But there might be losing one right here right now 24 consecutive map wins the last time they lost the map was 58 days ago

01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:15.960
To the Mongols on Mirage. They won the series don't worry about that

01:07:17.080 --> 01:07:20.040
And on Mirage as well, so perhaps this is somewhat of a weakness

01:07:20.040 --> 01:07:26.200
It was the lowest on the the streak list as far as the maps that the vitality been converting G2 also just historically

01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:32.880
Often gonna be playing vitality in their head-to-head bringing it to Mirage in a couple of 13 11's like it's always been narrow

01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:39.160
of loss is fine. How do you manage to knit them in the bud, but also full rounds of regulation now with a standing

01:07:39.160 --> 01:07:42.200
perhaps a little like less pressure. You can see tack on your screens

01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:45.760
Not too much to say about his first half of play. No

01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:50.280
I look he showed some confidence looking for fights towards be with mezi

01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.020
He had an important double kill over towards connector a little bit later on in the piece

01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:59.800
But for him, he knows this is opportunity to put himself in the shop window right now. He's in the Academy team

01:07:59.800 --> 01:08:04.920
He's got the call-up to fill in for Hunter while injured and it'd be a good chance to show

01:08:05.120 --> 01:08:07.500
What you can get done in the server now?

01:08:07.500 --> 01:08:13.200
We had a decent showing yesterday, but this is a completely different affair going up against the world number one

01:08:13.300 --> 01:08:17.380
We are about to get things back underway apologies for delay. Xayah. We crashed

01:08:17.380 --> 01:08:22.960
We were just getting him sorted situated and ready and raring, but let's get second half started

01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:27.080
I tell you have opted in with a couple of smokes, sir

01:08:27.080 --> 01:08:29.080
That's the other game.

01:08:29.080 --> 01:08:30.080
Yeah.

01:08:30.080 --> 01:08:32.080
We haven't even started yet.

01:08:32.080 --> 01:08:34.080
A Molotov for Apex and a flash for Zaru.

01:08:34.080 --> 01:08:36.080
Flames he's been given the P250, curiously.

01:08:36.080 --> 01:08:41.080
Having one of these quieter maps that I've seen from in recent history.

01:08:41.080 --> 01:08:44.080
He's been tasked with throwing all of the Util.

01:08:46.080 --> 01:08:48.080
First smoke thrown out.

01:08:48.080 --> 01:08:50.080
That is still as mid vision.

01:08:53.080 --> 01:08:55.080
That's the way about underpass.

01:08:55.080 --> 01:08:57.080
and aware of that.

01:08:57.080 --> 01:08:59.080
Oh, he saw him.

01:08:59.080 --> 01:09:00.080
He's fired them.

01:09:00.080 --> 01:09:01.080
Apex burrows into the smoke.

01:09:01.080 --> 01:09:02.080
At least they have the info.

01:09:02.080 --> 01:09:04.080
Xywu peeks on in.

01:09:04.080 --> 01:09:05.080
Fake Goosh.

01:09:05.080 --> 01:09:06.080
Fake Goosh indeed.

01:09:08.080 --> 01:09:10.080
That's the fine Mattis onto Apex.

01:09:10.080 --> 01:09:11.080
Confirms and denies.

01:09:11.080 --> 01:09:12.080
Maybe he was going body shots

01:09:12.080 --> 01:09:13.080
because he heard the Goosh.

01:09:13.080 --> 01:09:14.080
Yeah, you're probably right.

01:09:14.080 --> 01:09:15.080
I think you're absolutely right,

01:09:15.080 --> 01:09:17.080
but Mattis is having a mirage to remember.

01:09:17.080 --> 01:09:19.080
Puts himself up onto 18.

01:09:19.080 --> 01:09:20.080
Robs can't win his duel.

01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:22.080
Some pyres takes his head off,

01:09:22.080 --> 01:09:24.080
and Xywu down as well.

01:09:24.080 --> 01:09:30.580
Wow, G2 not only picking themselves up 7-5 half, they're going to start this one off with a bang too.

01:09:30.580 --> 01:09:40.580
Damn, okay, that was rough, right? Apex was definitely aiming for body shots in that situation, so the fake goosh really matters is having a great map, 18 and 8.

01:09:41.580 --> 01:09:46.580
And now, Mezzie, the best you could hope for is to plant, but Nurt says no, that's denied and...

01:09:54.080 --> 01:10:04.080
I think that's the reason.

01:10:04.080 --> 01:10:06.080
This is the other factor, right?

01:10:06.080 --> 01:10:08.080
Notes has only been there for a

01:10:08.080 --> 01:10:12.080
month. So this is. Oh, okay. So

01:10:12.080 --> 01:10:14.080
we know they saw him. Yeah,

01:10:14.080 --> 01:10:16.080
this was just the awkward fight.

01:10:16.080 --> 01:10:17.080
I guess they're discussing how

01:10:17.080 --> 01:10:20.080
it all fell apart either way.

01:10:20.080 --> 01:10:21.080
Matters just being staunch on

01:10:21.080 --> 01:10:22.080
short. But vitality are

01:10:22.080 --> 01:10:26.540
a P250 for the likes of Robson Apex and Flames just going to operate on the block.

01:10:26.540 --> 01:10:30.340
So this is, unless an eco-victory happens, a 9-5 score line.

01:10:30.340 --> 01:10:31.840
So there's...

01:10:32.840 --> 01:10:37.340
I wouldn't say a long way back up the mountain, but if you win the gun round,

01:10:37.340 --> 01:10:39.840
they're back down to another partial.

01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:44.740
Could be looking at 11 rounds before Vitality get anything going on their T half.

01:10:44.740 --> 01:10:48.140
So if it's going to start, it needs to... pretty damn quick.

01:10:48.140 --> 01:10:53.740
We had a similar situation the first half. They lost the pistol. They lost the force. They took the eco when the guns came out

01:10:53.740 --> 01:10:56.540
They won the round. So this time they've got a different buying pattern

01:10:57.140 --> 01:10:59.140
T side without the plant

01:11:02.220 --> 01:11:07.540
As you have an operator the glil here drops the same that tells you how important the u2 is going to be to functioning X

01:11:07.540 --> 01:11:09.420
Taz obviously happy with what he is

01:11:09.420 --> 01:11:11.420
This is where your game planning the night before

01:11:11.900 --> 01:11:15.060
Everybody should have a very good idea what the first gun round is going to look like

01:11:15.060 --> 01:11:22.060
Wow, we've got friction in middle early. Confirms someone's dropped down.

01:11:22.060 --> 01:11:27.060
Nert's fully committing towards underpass. And already first blood is drawn.

01:11:27.060 --> 01:11:33.060
Sunpires just straight through the mid-window smoke.

01:11:33.060 --> 01:11:36.060
Rob's audible. Have you got high alerts? Catches eye.

01:11:36.060 --> 01:11:39.060
We're pushing out towards the Tetris boxes. Very, very loud.

01:11:39.060 --> 01:11:43.060
Is Rob's in court on the flashbang? Push! Nert's is farming him up.

01:11:43.060 --> 01:11:47.060
Quick double kill from Nurtz and this gun around has gone south.

01:11:48.060 --> 01:11:54.060
My Tanti in the dumps looking very vulnerable to conceding map 1 here.

01:11:57.060 --> 01:12:03.060
Flames his turn in what is an unwinnable situation so it's coming true and in the worst possible way.

01:12:03.060 --> 01:12:06.060
The fact that you've done no damage, you're not getting the bomb down, it's not a close round,

01:12:06.060 --> 01:12:09.060
you're not keeping the pressure on. G2 are running away with this one.

01:12:09.060 --> 01:12:12.060
This is dominant.

01:12:13.060 --> 01:12:19.660
Now you know me, Chad, I don't like to overreact, but should Vitality make Maraj their perma-ban

01:12:19.660 --> 01:12:21.660
and start playing Ancient?

01:12:21.660 --> 01:12:26.820
No, I think that, right, this is one of the factors where Maraj is a map that's played

01:12:26.820 --> 01:12:32.360
by almost all teams, and it's the one that is the most popular in the pug realms.

01:12:32.360 --> 01:12:33.360
Everybody's playing it.

01:12:33.360 --> 01:12:38.100
Everybody has a pretty good base-level understanding, as the clear for the owner, but still through

01:12:38.100 --> 01:12:40.740
smokes on strikes, what are you meant to do?

01:12:40.740 --> 01:12:45.420
This is looking very good for G2, who have had a lot of position changes, right?

01:12:45.420 --> 01:12:48.340
Obviously map's going out, no it's coming in, position changes happen there and

01:12:48.340 --> 01:12:52.100
TAC is plugging into Hunter's positions, but still you've only had a month of this

01:12:52.100 --> 01:12:56.340
roster, you've been playing smaller lands, it's all a bit of a mess, here we go,

01:12:56.340 --> 01:12:57.700
partial buy into A.

01:12:57.700 --> 01:13:02.020
Look at this Utah from Heavy got some destiny for damage, Heavy!

01:13:02.020 --> 01:13:07.220
Damage inflicted, Nert's on the smoke break, nearly goes down to the flame,

01:13:07.220 --> 01:13:11.220
Spam but it's all shaping up nicely. One back from Robs on the Tech 9.

01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:13.220
Flank from Mezzie. Successful.

01:13:14.220 --> 01:13:17.720
It's a rifle into his hands as well. Partners up with Apex but Blanc's gonna be denied.

01:13:17.720 --> 01:13:19.720
There's no chance for him to get the co-punched.

01:13:20.220 --> 01:13:22.720
Sampias brings him down. Two players from that CT side.

01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:24.720
Mattis creeping and crawling from the jungle.

01:13:29.720 --> 01:13:33.220
Hoping for an overextension from Mattis and he gets the info that he's off the bomb.

01:13:33.220 --> 01:13:37.580
some pious pushes forward love this restraint this measured restraint we're

01:13:37.580 --> 01:13:40.540
seeing from G2 yeah they're playing aggressive in the beginning it put

01:13:40.540 --> 01:13:44.400
themselves in the pole position and then plan together very nicely to close out

01:13:44.400 --> 01:13:47.440
these rounds with 45 seconds left Messi's gonna give this one a good go

01:13:47.440 --> 01:13:52.520
he's got the bomb rerouting now looking to try and finish over towards B they

01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:57.820
would I must have loved to plant it isn't a huge level of importance right

01:13:57.820 --> 01:14:00.980
now with max loss bonus going into the next might just be a small victory

01:14:00.980 --> 01:14:04.740
attack trying to cut him off at the past low on HP. This would feel good for tag. Does

01:14:04.740 --> 01:14:09.580
mezzy clear the whole site? Oh, it doesn't matter. Mezzy dead. Three, two, one. And there

01:14:09.580 --> 01:14:10.580
you have it.

01:14:10.580 --> 01:14:11.580
Attack.

01:14:11.580 --> 01:14:24.900
Well, it would be weird if he showed up at his lose. Yeah, unless it was at his teammates.

01:14:24.900 --> 01:14:27.860
So just to kind of give a bit of context to this because the game could be over in

01:14:27.860 --> 01:14:31.940
two rounds time. The whole reason we're talking about a streak like this, Counter Strike at the moment

01:14:31.940 --> 01:14:37.540
is measured by Vitality. Their 24 consecutive maps is the second longest map win streak of all time,

01:14:37.540 --> 01:14:42.420
only behind NIP. And if we're talking big events, theirs is 34. If we're talking overall, it's 87.

01:14:42.420 --> 01:14:49.780
No one's ever beating that. The 34 felt like it could have been doable. They just won Rotterdam

01:14:49.780 --> 01:14:54.980
without dropping a single map. So the idea of them coming in here and doing the same wasn't

01:14:54.980 --> 01:15:00.100
out of the realms of possibility we just saw them do it this is a team that's legacy building so can

01:15:00.100 --> 01:15:04.740
they pull themselves out of this apex already up through con might catch a timing yes he does

01:15:04.740 --> 01:15:09.380
opening kill finally head onto some pious but now it is immediately there for the trade

01:15:12.180 --> 01:15:14.100
no it's gonna sound crazy yeah you know we want

01:15:15.700 --> 01:15:19.060
drops out of the window smoke masked by the plume

01:15:20.420 --> 01:15:23.300
and these are the risks that they're talking about and now you've got the

01:15:23.300 --> 01:15:27.300
to be the benefit of all the

01:15:27.300 --> 01:15:29.300
rounds and now the push. Just

01:15:29.300 --> 01:15:31.300
keep it going. You kind of

01:15:31.300 --> 01:15:33.300
count for all of this of your

01:15:33.300 --> 01:15:35.300
vitality. No way. No, you

01:15:35.300 --> 01:15:37.300
cannot. And so I will cut

01:15:37.300 --> 01:15:39.300
looking down. Tag puts him

01:15:39.300 --> 01:15:43.300
down. Bombs going to get

01:15:43.300 --> 01:15:45.300
dropped in a second. Nice

01:15:45.300 --> 01:15:47.300
out flames. They're just

01:15:47.300 --> 01:15:48.300
booking them. So this is

01:15:48.300 --> 01:15:49.300
going to be one of those

01:15:49.300 --> 01:15:51.300
games in review where all

01:15:51.300 --> 01:15:53.300
12, 12 to 5.

01:15:53.300 --> 01:15:54.300
Dan!

01:15:54.300 --> 01:15:56.300
I don't understand what are you doing!

01:15:56.300 --> 01:15:57.300
Look at me!

01:15:57.300 --> 01:15:58.300
Yes!

01:15:58.300 --> 01:15:59.300
It's not me.

01:15:59.300 --> 01:16:00.300
Yeah!

01:16:00.300 --> 01:16:05.300
Oh no, you know this is going to get so juicy, map 2 and 3.

01:16:05.300 --> 01:16:06.300
Yeah, exactly.

01:16:06.300 --> 01:16:07.300
This is the thing.

01:16:07.300 --> 01:16:12.860
Do you now just kind of wake up the beast and they come out and stomp you out going

01:16:12.860 --> 01:16:13.860
into map set?

01:16:13.860 --> 01:16:14.860
Look at him!

01:16:14.860 --> 01:16:16.660
2 and 3 of this all.

01:16:16.660 --> 01:16:17.660
It's Inferno next.

01:16:17.660 --> 01:16:19.300
Dust 2 is the third and decide up.

01:16:19.300 --> 01:16:22.100
Oh, mate. I am so in.

01:16:22.100 --> 01:16:24.020
It's gonna be first loss in 58 days.

01:16:24.020 --> 01:16:25.020
58 days?

01:16:25.020 --> 01:16:26.420
Map loss in 58 days.

01:16:26.420 --> 01:16:27.620
Yeah, okay. Geez.

01:16:29.900 --> 01:16:31.300
It's an unfamiliar feeling.

01:16:31.300 --> 01:16:33.100
Imminent for vitality.

01:16:33.700 --> 01:16:35.620
Zywoo's pushing up, but Nerth is already dropped down.

01:16:35.620 --> 01:16:37.860
Apex is gonna likely encounter him.

01:16:37.860 --> 01:16:39.020
They're gonna hook this first.

01:16:39.020 --> 01:16:39.900
Oh, two in con.

01:16:39.900 --> 01:16:40.580
Everyone's here.

01:16:40.580 --> 01:16:41.660
Zywoo!

01:16:41.660 --> 01:16:43.900
Nerth catches Apex on the reaction.

01:16:44.900 --> 01:16:46.700
Keep it spotless. Why not?

01:16:46.700 --> 01:16:52.840
A 13-5 is quite the statement of victory for G2 with a stand-in no less.

01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:56.040
Day 2 of Rio, you're taking on the world number one.

01:16:57.040 --> 01:17:01.540
And you're throwing them around the server, you're shouting across the room.

01:17:04.700 --> 01:17:07.100
Just wants to get past alongside Mezzi.

01:17:09.140 --> 01:17:11.500
I'm just flicking through quickly, so no one caught me on this,

01:17:11.500 --> 01:17:16.640
but I think this is their worst map loss since Blast Rivals 2025 against Furia.

01:17:16.700 --> 01:17:23.100
which was a 13 to 5 on an inferno so it's been a long time between drinks seeing a

01:17:23.100 --> 01:17:28.060
team like vitality no not seeing a team like vitality seeing vitality lose a map

01:17:28.060 --> 01:17:36.060
this badly is the series on the line or is this just to get the day started

01:17:36.060 --> 01:17:46.960
No hope, no chance, no way in hell. 13 to 5 G2. They end the consecutive map streak

01:17:46.960 --> 01:17:52.760
of Vitality here at IEM Rio. It's going to be a different team talk for a change of

01:17:52.760 --> 01:17:54.760
So that's how to win the head outside.

01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:46.720
to catch the fallback of Salsel and the smoke down will block Martin as off. That is a very

01:18:46.720 --> 01:18:49.800
good hold from Red Cannons and a massive change if you look what it's going to do to their

01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:54.280
money as well by the way. It's gonna be a massive boon for them.

01:18:54.280 --> 01:18:57.960
Marsnest goes down, they survive with all five players alive,

01:18:57.960 --> 01:19:02.520
three AKs to grab. That is the most important render in the second half for

01:19:02.520 --> 01:19:05.560
them for sure.

01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:09.560
Trab just to tag onto the storyline that we highlighted

01:19:09.560 --> 01:19:13.560
a few rounds ago. Pause now if you don't want to use spoilers for G2 versus

01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:17.720
Vitality. Because G2 have done it they won map

01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:23.000
one against Vitality 13-5 on Mirage. They actually managed to get it done. I mean, they looked really

01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:27.240
good on the map yesterday, but I didn't ever think in my wildest dreams they'd be able to go on and

01:19:27.240 --> 01:19:33.000
be the team that ended the Vitality streak. So they can now no longer obviously go flawless in

01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:39.560
Rio, at least as far as the maps are concerned, to then chase down that NIP streak. So I mean,

01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:44.920
obviously it is just a small blip on the radar, but it's a big storyline now that's

01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:49.240
been taken out of the works with that one when they're from G2. It's so funny isn't it, but who

01:19:49.240 --> 01:19:55.560
would have thought it would be G2 without Hunter? Who would have thought? Crazy. Look they haven't won

01:19:55.560 --> 01:20:02.520
the series but it was a 13-5 on map 1. Maybe Vitality were never prepared for the some pious

01:20:02.520 --> 01:20:12.040
in-game leader arc. Who knows? Well I mean yeah if they go on to beat Vitality then

01:20:12.040 --> 01:20:17.560
Cheers, Hunter. Thanks for coming. Enjoy the rest of your holiday until the end of the

01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:23.400
Cologne Major. No, I joke, of course. Either way, Red Cannards have an opportunity here

01:20:23.400 --> 01:20:27.080
to deal a decisive blow to Gentlemates' chances on Mirage. They can win this round

01:20:27.080 --> 01:20:31.400
ago 11-8, no money in the bank. Four Gentlemates would be 12-8.

01:20:31.400 --> 01:20:35.920
And a tough comeback required. It's going to be a big exacting to say Bonsai really

01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:40.040
could molly into what sandwich. Now, Drop gets toasted but he's able to get a kill.

01:20:40.040 --> 01:20:45.440
Revenge off the sandwich. He chokes one of them out. Cow is trapped in behind the or underneath the bulk

01:20:45.440 --> 01:20:49.360
And he should I say but he's still able to come away with two to leave the team in an even number situation

01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:52.800
They don't know about David S. I think they know is the A site player

01:20:52.800 --> 01:20:56.080
They don't know he's still triple and that's gonna be an unexpected one for Southall

01:20:56.520 --> 01:21:02.880
Really well done by David S. Incredible patience at that moment not to overpeak and you needed to help at any point

01:21:03.160 --> 01:21:09.600
You knew you could confirm it late round and our Martin is stuck on default both CTS right here as well

01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:29.600
I feel like that would have been the only way for him to actually win the round if he could have gotten both kills with one bullet, but it's really well played from those Brazilian players on the retake there, not to, I guess, one Chilean and one Brazilian, not to disjoin them, so it's not going to be a good one.

01:21:29.600 --> 01:21:34.080
gotten both kills with one bullet, but it's really well played from those Brazilian players

01:21:34.080 --> 01:21:39.960
on the retake there. Not to, I guess, one Chilean and one Brazilian. Not to disjoin themselves,

01:21:39.960 --> 01:21:43.520
they stick together, but it seemed like there was some attention to detail, not to completely

01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:47.120
line themselves up either, so they kind of recognized the threat of the AWP in the

01:21:47.120 --> 01:21:52.180
clutch. At least Martinez is able to get the bomb down, but Coway, I reckon, is the

01:21:52.180 --> 01:21:55.920
main hero there. Getting those two kills with what brought him back into an even

01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:59.500
numbers game for his team they finish off the job gentlemates decide to

01:21:59.500 --> 01:22:04.740
persist just stubbornly they will force by around 20 and again they're gonna go

01:22:04.740 --> 01:22:07.740
back in towards a

01:22:09.360 --> 01:22:13.140
oh now they're gonna go for a faster move Davi G's already launching himself

01:22:13.140 --> 01:22:16.820
out of ramp through that smoke now it's cow airs from triple but look how far

01:22:16.820 --> 01:22:20.220
Davi G's got up onto the A bomb site before they were ready for him that's

01:22:20.220 --> 01:22:25.740
crazy and they've got already got full CT control which is pretty wild ever

01:22:25.740 --> 01:22:29.580
could drop into Samaj if he wanted to look like he was preparing himself for it

01:22:29.580 --> 01:22:34.940
and they do have money if they want to commit to this retake but there's a

01:22:34.940 --> 01:22:42.060
chance they could decide to prioritize the later rounds of Mirage I think they're

01:22:42.060 --> 01:22:45.580
just hoping for a random spam kill and if they don't get it they're gonna fall

01:22:45.580 --> 01:22:51.380
back. Oh gentlemates again just persisting with this A bomb site

01:22:51.380 --> 01:22:54.940
probably banking on red tannins not expecting them to go back and towards

01:22:54.940 --> 01:23:00.420
at A site yet again and they're correct they're able to isolate powers there with some good

01:23:00.420 --> 01:23:02.420
you tell us you

01:23:30.420 --> 01:23:32.420
one more second

01:23:32.420 --> 01:23:34.420
sandwich the other one is the op

01:23:34.420 --> 01:23:36.420
we first up a city

01:23:36.420 --> 01:23:38.420
10 seconds

01:23:38.420 --> 01:23:40.420
default kill

01:23:40.420 --> 01:23:42.420
default dead

01:23:42.420 --> 01:23:44.420

I'm on the ladder

01:23:54.420 --> 01:23:56.420
I'm on the ladder

01:23:56.420 --> 01:23:58.420
I'm on the ladder

01:23:58.420 --> 01:24:00.420
I'm not speaking this, okay ready?

01:24:00.420 --> 01:24:01.420

01:24:01.420 --> 01:24:02.420
One top mid

01:24:02.420 --> 01:24:05.420
He didn't Buzze, he didn't do Buzze

01:24:05.420 --> 01:24:07.420
I'm pushing Buzze, I'm pushing Buzze

01:24:07.420 --> 01:24:08.420
I'm pushing, I'm pushing

Upstair, upstair, one upstair

Dead, last foot middle

01:24:13.420 --> 01:24:14.420
I wash call

01:24:14.420 --> 01:24:16.420
Can I take under side, take the kids

01:24:16.420 --> 01:24:18.420
I jump, take full ramp, take the economy

01:24:18.420 --> 01:24:20.420
I'm pushing B guys already, okay?

01:24:20.420 --> 01:24:21.420
Pushing B already

01:24:21.420 --> 01:24:23.420
The bomb is on ramp, okay guys?

01:24:23.420 --> 01:24:24.420
Top mid safe call boys

01:24:24.420 --> 01:24:27.420
I'm only boxes

01:24:27.420 --> 01:24:39.420
I'm hiding on Tester's guys to bar SISPO. I will peek from Firebox, okay?

01:24:39.420 --> 01:24:40.420
I can't do anything.

01:24:40.420 --> 01:24:43.420
Ah, see guys, clean as fuck, I don't know how far I have to go.

01:24:57.420 --> 01:25:00.860
exactly how much you stack up against others at your level.

01:25:00.860 --> 01:25:04.940
Basit rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning the

01:25:04.940 --> 01:25:13.340
match. Picking into account the full situation. Season 8 launches April 22nd. Good luck and have fun!

01:25:27.420 --> 01:25:50.020
We got tacky in the GT jersey

01:25:50.620 --> 01:25:52.020
for the time being. Um you had a

01:25:52.020 --> 01:25:53.220
really great interview yesterday

01:25:53.220 --> 01:25:54.420
with note from HLTV, so I want

01:25:54.420 --> 01:25:55.920
to just dive into a couple of

01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:57.020
things from that. You said your

01:25:57.020 --> 01:26:02.780
But I'm curious to the differences in what happens in this team when you finished a game yesterday

01:26:02.860 --> 01:26:07.780
You've only got 24 hours prepped for vitality your opponents today. What was the process yesterday? I

01:26:08.700 --> 01:26:10.700
mean first of all we had

01:26:11.140 --> 01:26:14.020
Some rest after the game. It was early game. So

01:26:14.780 --> 01:26:20.680
We got some rest and we moved our practice room and I mean it was a

01:26:20.680 --> 01:26:28.560
It's a default preparation as we did with the gentlemates, just our plan in the game, how

01:26:28.560 --> 01:26:36.400
will we execute that plan, and nothing special, just also focusing on my individual place,

01:26:36.400 --> 01:26:38.880
so I feel comfortable doing them versus Vitality.

01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:43.520
I know you mentioned the nerves creeping in, and that's totally understandable, entering

01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:47.200
tier one for the first time, but overpass from you yesterday, that looked great.

01:26:47.200 --> 01:26:49.720
Tell me about finding your form in that map.

01:26:49.720 --> 01:26:55.200
I mean we had a decent amount of practice and overpass before the tournament so I was going

01:26:55.200 --> 01:27:02.280
into the map pretty confident and I knew all the plays and strats that the boys are doing

01:27:02.280 --> 01:27:06.600
and it's important to know the details so we executed well.

01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:13.680
Anyway, there were some also individual plays that I took initiative with and played

01:27:13.680 --> 01:27:18.680
them well and I hope we can bring the same energy today so we did an overpass

01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:20.720
and part of the Mirage yesterday.

01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:22.440
Just a last couple of questions.

01:27:22.440 --> 01:27:25.760
First one is, has there been anything particularly surprising

01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:28.720
about playing your first two-on-tournament?

01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.760
I mean, of course, emotions are running through.

01:27:31.760 --> 01:27:35.600
It's not like playing at home with the academy team,

01:27:35.600 --> 01:27:38.680
but it's a hell of an experience being here.

01:27:38.680 --> 01:27:43.120
So it's just important I absorb everything and move on.

01:27:43.120 --> 01:27:45.480
And yeah.

01:27:45.480 --> 01:27:47.320
And final question, is there any players

01:27:47.320 --> 01:27:50.920
that you kind of mould yourself off of that particularly inspire you?

01:27:53.480 --> 01:27:58.080
Particularly, it's tough to say now on top of my head, but I mean,

01:27:58.080 --> 01:28:03.720
probably those who work hard, like, yeah, talent is one thing,

01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:07.800
but working hard is the most important, I think, in the game.

01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:11.640
And if you put enough hours, you can become great.

01:28:12.040 --> 01:28:14.120
Well, great to finally get to catch up with you, Ty. Good luck.

01:28:17.320 --> 01:28:24.000
Flamesy, I don't know whether you know, but today you are celebrating 1,028 days on Vitality.

01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:25.000
Yeah, you are.

01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:26.000
1,028?

01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:27.000
It's not a round number.

01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:28.000
No, it's not a round number.

01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:29.000
It's a completely weird number.

01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:34.760
So I thought I would go back and read through your first interview that you did upon joining

01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:38.260
Vitality and see if the statements are still true about you.

01:28:38.260 --> 01:28:42.720
So I've got a statement from you talking about the T side joining Vitality.

01:28:42.720 --> 01:28:47.460
On two sides, I fit because Vitality need a guy that runs around, doesn't give a single

01:28:47.460 --> 01:28:48.460
fuck and sacrifices.

01:28:48.460 --> 01:28:49.460
Is that still true?

01:28:49.460 --> 01:28:50.460
Still true.

01:28:50.460 --> 01:28:51.460
Very true.

01:28:51.460 --> 01:28:53.060
I think I fit that background pretty well.

01:28:53.060 --> 01:28:56.700
I feel comfortable playing aggressively, still true.

01:28:56.700 --> 01:29:02.020
And giving my teammates the feeling that someone is sacrificing for them, especially with

01:29:02.020 --> 01:29:06.240
somebody on the team that can close 1v4, 1v3, 1v2, like Zywoo.

01:29:06.240 --> 01:29:07.240
Still true?

01:29:07.240 --> 01:29:09.460
Still true, but double with Mr. Ross.

01:29:09.460 --> 01:29:11.580
What's been your favourite Zywoo clutch moment?

01:29:11.580 --> 01:29:16.540
so many, but off the top of your head. I think the one against Paravision, the one if I was pretty cool,

01:29:16.540 --> 01:29:27.020
but if I go back in my memory lane, I think the spray transfer against Paravision was out of this

01:29:27.020 --> 01:29:31.900
world. I think it was so cool to watch and you know, you feel so excited, you get so pumped and

01:29:31.900 --> 01:29:35.500
that's how I felt back then. That's amazing. Let's talk about CT side. Let's go over to this

01:29:35.500 --> 01:29:41.460
this cue card. CT side on CT. I'm not too sure how it will go. Were you nervous?

01:29:41.460 --> 01:29:50.900
On CT? Yeah, but during the CT side vitality. This is 2023. So it was on HRTV just before

01:29:50.900 --> 01:29:56.380
you joined. Okay, I'll continue the quote. I'd like to say I fit the roles but at this

01:29:56.380 --> 01:30:00.620
level any player should know that he's going to sacrifice something. Do you feel like

01:30:00.620 --> 01:30:02.580
you had to sacrifice something particularly?

01:30:02.580 --> 01:30:08.340
At the beginning maybe I had to switch positions that I was not used to, and when Robin German

01:30:08.340 --> 01:30:09.340
maybe I switched again.

01:30:09.340 --> 01:30:15.420
But yeah, it's part of the game, it's part of being in one of the best teams in the

01:30:15.420 --> 01:30:19.060
world, especially back then when I joined after they won a major, that you have to

01:30:19.060 --> 01:30:22.460
take some hits in the position, but it's for the greater good and I also think it's

01:30:22.460 --> 01:30:26.980
an advantage if you have played four positions on a map that you kind of know how it

01:30:26.980 --> 01:30:30.940
feels from every angle, so I'm fine with sacrificing.

01:30:30.940 --> 01:30:34.900
The mission is trophies, not playing good CS, not killing a lot so.

01:30:34.900 --> 01:30:38.860
Yes, that makes sense. It's been a killing a lot though. Your statement on Zywoo, you

01:30:38.860 --> 01:30:43.740
get the chance to play with a guy that looks like one of the best teammates on the planet.

01:30:43.740 --> 01:30:45.540
Is he the best teammate on the planet?

01:30:45.540 --> 01:30:51.660
Yes, in this team there is four best teammates. I think I could talk a lot about them but

01:30:51.660 --> 01:30:57.500
it's not the time. But yeah, he's so good, he's so much, he's so good and

01:30:57.500 --> 01:31:01.500
he's so humble, he's so calm, he's so chill,

01:31:01.500 --> 01:31:04.100
he's not like demanding, not full of ego.

01:31:04.100 --> 01:31:06.500
These kind of things, it could have,

01:31:06.500 --> 01:31:10.100
the ISP go, it could be very annoying,

01:31:10.100 --> 01:31:11.260
very arrogant and stuff like that.

01:31:11.260 --> 01:31:12.980
And we take it because he's the best player in the world,

01:31:12.980 --> 01:31:14.740
but he's not that and I appreciate it.

01:31:14.740 --> 01:31:16.900
There is one of the rights to be completely arrogant

01:31:16.900 --> 01:31:18.460
for Dita, he's not that at all.

01:31:18.460 --> 01:31:21.740
To finish the quote, the best player in the world,

01:31:21.740 --> 01:31:25.060
stats wise, and he's just so good, man.

01:31:25.060 --> 01:31:27.100
He is just so good and he keeps getting better.

01:31:27.100 --> 01:31:27.600
How?

01:31:27.600 --> 01:31:35.480
Yeah, and actually it keeps getting better and in 2025 I thought it's like a pretty good performance for the year

01:31:35.480 --> 01:31:38.680
and now he's keeping the numbers up and improving.

01:31:38.680 --> 01:31:43.400
Obviously there is a little dunk on the side so it's a big of a change in the scene.

01:31:43.400 --> 01:31:48.240
But on the other hand back then it was simple so it's pretty balanced I would say.

01:31:48.240 --> 01:31:52.400
So what was 2023, Flamie? Think of where you are now.

01:31:52.400 --> 01:31:53.500
Sure can you be proud?

01:31:53.500 --> 01:32:04.500
Well, I probably don't expect anything that happens, I would never expect to have that many trophies in the span of two years, like two years and a half.

01:32:04.500 --> 01:32:14.500
It's insane to think that I even, you know, like two majors, one Grand Slam and so many big trophies with one roster or not.

01:32:14.500 --> 01:32:23.260
So I'd be proud of the 2026 Flamasy, but I'm still in the present, you know what I mean?

01:32:23.260 --> 01:32:26.100
I still can be more proud, so that's the mission right now.

01:32:26.100 --> 01:32:27.100
This has been so awesome.

01:32:27.100 --> 01:32:28.100
Thank you so much Flamasy.

01:32:28.100 --> 01:32:29.100
He's proud?

01:32:29.100 --> 01:32:30.100
I'm proud of you, obviously.

01:32:30.100 --> 01:32:31.100
He should be proud.

01:32:31.100 --> 01:32:32.100
Thank you so much.

01:32:32.100 --> 01:32:33.100
I pay him money to talk like that.

01:32:44.500 --> 01:32:51.140
Well, a streak broken. G2 taking the first of the series. Not what we expected coming into today.

01:32:51.140 --> 01:32:56.420
Thought Vitality were just going to do what they did in Rotterdam and keep on winning, keep building up that streak.

01:32:56.420 --> 01:33:02.500
But G2 with a stand-in no less. Academy player tag, standing in for Hunter in absence.

01:33:02.500 --> 01:33:04.820
Now we've got ourselves in Furner.

01:33:04.820 --> 01:33:09.100
Yeah, the dynamic shifts right now. Before it was exactly what you were saying. It was pretty glassy, pretty casual.

01:33:09.100 --> 01:33:13.660
Everyone's like, yeah, VyTal, you just keep winning. We're not going to expect him to lose a map to G2 with the stand-in.

01:33:13.660 --> 01:33:17.260
as you've mentioned but no that's exactly what's unfolded and it's not that they lost

01:33:17.260 --> 01:33:19.780
it's not that the streak has gone it's the way that they lost they got owned

01:33:19.780 --> 01:33:24.380
absolutely blown out right there 13 to 5 and then there's another streak so you

01:33:24.380 --> 01:33:27.260
can talk about the fact that 17 consecutive series that they could be

01:33:27.260 --> 01:33:31.100
defending no they have made it clear to the counter strike world that Rio is

01:33:31.100 --> 01:33:35.340
all about the grand slam getting the double done ASAP not keeping that

01:33:35.340 --> 01:33:37.980
pressure for Atlanta definitely not keeping that pressure for the major

01:33:37.980 --> 01:33:41.500
that's right around the corner and apex he just got yelled out taste of

01:33:41.500 --> 01:33:48.140
He's on medicine for that entire first map of play. I'm interested in the vitality response. Yes, the G2 have them on an off day

01:33:48.220 --> 01:33:53.700
Everybody has them, but this is vitality the team who are measuring everybody else in Counter-Strike by

01:33:54.220 --> 01:33:59.100
We go into inferno. This was a map yesterday. That's G2 lost to gentle mates 13 to 8

01:34:00.300 --> 01:34:02.640
It was a bit of a slow start tack at a tough time

01:34:02.740 --> 01:34:07.860
He will be playing as the a rotating rifle. Well, he picked the rotating rifle in both sides

01:34:07.860 --> 01:34:09.860
But he's the third A player, essentially.

01:34:09.860 --> 01:34:12.860
Have you got still anchoring over towards Pitz and Pius with the AWP?

01:34:12.860 --> 01:34:14.860
We'll be assisting him in the majority of the rounds

01:34:14.860 --> 01:34:17.860
and then you've got your nerds, Mattis Combo over towards B.

01:34:19.860 --> 01:34:21.860
Just making sure everyone is ready and ready in a go.

01:34:21.860 --> 01:34:26.860
I think it's Apex who was just experiencing a little bit of a technical do-hickey right there.

01:34:26.860 --> 01:34:29.860
Which could very well exacerbate the stress.

01:34:29.860 --> 01:34:31.860
The team talk outside.

01:34:31.860 --> 01:34:34.860
No, I don't know if they would have just let Apex vent,

01:34:34.860 --> 01:34:40.860
But if it was me, I'm not mad in terms of that we lost.

01:34:40.860 --> 01:34:43.860
I'm mad that that guy just yelled at me for the whole game, and I want to stomp the hell

01:34:43.860 --> 01:34:44.860
out of them right now.

01:34:44.860 --> 01:34:48.660
So this is where I am a little bit worried for G2.

01:34:48.660 --> 01:34:52.780
Again, the pressure's not there for them, even if they get close to winning or to

01:34:52.780 --> 01:34:53.780
back and forth game.

01:34:53.780 --> 01:34:55.460
They're playing with a standard, right?

01:34:55.460 --> 01:34:57.020
But this is for the playoffs.

01:34:57.020 --> 01:34:59.700
I understand there's still a seeding game to come for, whether it's 70s or

01:34:59.700 --> 01:35:02.260
it's a quarters, but this is a big matchup right now, and if Vitality want to

01:35:02.260 --> 01:35:08.380
get there as quickly as possible, winning today's game integral to giving themselves as many

01:35:08.380 --> 01:35:12.820
opportunities to jump towards that second Grand Slam as quickly as possible.

01:35:12.820 --> 01:35:19.220
Like the Mirage was a surprise, but I would be even more so, doubly so, surprised to see

01:35:19.220 --> 01:35:23.660
a similar result here and up to. I think my expectations for Vitality, especially with,

01:35:23.660 --> 01:35:28.500
like you said, the motivation of wanting to put them down in the dirt, no, especially

01:35:28.500 --> 01:35:34.500
the one that was kind of a bantering back and forth and just shouting raising the roof. I think for

01:35:34.500 --> 01:35:39.780
Vitality, the expectation here from the community, from the casting desk and likely from the team

01:35:39.780 --> 01:35:43.940
itself is that this is going to go to three and we'll get to see that dust too. It's just a

01:35:43.940 --> 01:35:48.660
manner in which they get there. Yeah, I still think there's an energy shift though. Right.

01:35:48.660 --> 01:35:53.380
Again, it's a taste. It's a feeling you haven't had in about two months. You're not used to

01:35:53.380 --> 01:35:57.620
having people, first of all, yell back in general. You're not used to the feeling of

01:35:57.620 --> 01:36:02.820
losing, especially not in that fashion. And this is where you talk to the teams, the players are

01:36:02.820 --> 01:36:06.100
one of those off days, right? I think it's just not clicking. They happen. They happen more often

01:36:06.100 --> 01:36:10.340
than not for most squads with Vitality. That doesn't tend to go down that way.

01:36:12.740 --> 01:36:16.900
So there is, at least for me, a big atmosphere shift going into this one.

01:36:18.580 --> 01:36:21.860
I think it'll still be one of those situations where we have the rounds come to their

01:36:21.860 --> 01:36:25.940
conclusion and you and I might need to be quiet for the back and forth. Yes. But

01:36:25.940 --> 01:36:32.340
definitely an energy shift in terms of the level I'm expecting of intensity for vitality to bring.

01:36:32.340 --> 01:36:35.620
Me too. Apex back in the server looks like we're going to be getting this one underway shortly.

01:36:37.060 --> 01:36:41.780
And the individual performances of Mattis in particular, he had an incredible mirage,

01:36:41.780 --> 01:36:44.340
going to have to keep an eye on his individual form, see if he can match that

01:36:45.220 --> 01:36:48.740
into map 2. It started on the pistol, right? I think he had either three or four kills just

01:36:48.740 --> 01:36:52.180
from the pistol round and then some really important rifle moments, multi-kills,

01:36:52.180 --> 01:37:00.060
impactful frags in the mid-round. The crazy moments that was discussed by X has, when mentioning

01:37:00.060 --> 01:37:05.060
teams with stand-ins or roster flux situations, Falcons being one, the pressure alleviated

01:37:05.060 --> 01:37:11.020
for them, G2 being the other. I won't bring passion into that conversation, but you just

01:37:11.020 --> 01:37:14.780
saw crazy moves like jumping out of window smokes, maybe heavy god making a play out

01:37:14.780 --> 01:37:19.180
of Palace that he wouldn't normally make to capitalize on a rotation, but either

01:37:19.180 --> 01:37:22.900
way. They've rattled vitality.

01:37:22.900 --> 01:37:24.060
Apex just double checking.

01:37:24.060 --> 01:37:26.460
So Headset is back on in his arena.

01:37:26.460 --> 01:37:28.700
Fist bumps are coming through.

01:37:28.700 --> 01:37:30.020
And we all know what that means.

01:37:30.020 --> 01:37:31.420
OK, let's get this party started.

01:37:31.420 --> 01:37:33.340
I am Rio 2026.

01:37:33.340 --> 01:37:34.420
It's day two.

01:37:34.420 --> 01:37:37.420
Group A winner advances to the playoffs.

01:37:37.420 --> 01:37:39.020
Loser down to the lower bracket.

01:37:39.020 --> 01:37:54.300
I'll see you two for both sides going into this one, a couple of HEs for the CT side.

01:37:54.300 --> 01:37:56.180
Nurtz and Mattis, the B defenders equipped with those.

01:37:56.180 --> 01:37:59.380
Have you got a bit of smoke to block and a couple of flash from some pious.

01:37:59.380 --> 01:38:01.780
So both those nades will head over towards B.

01:38:01.780 --> 01:38:07.260
So they lob them into logs or broom.

01:38:07.260 --> 01:38:08.260
Reactive for now.

01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:15.380
Oh, the NAVES is significant damage,

01:38:15.380 --> 01:38:16.560
because now we're undeterred.

01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:17.940
Still finds one onto Nerds.

01:38:17.940 --> 01:38:20.180
Swing out of some pyres, tracking not there.

01:38:20.180 --> 01:38:23.360
Headshot onto Flamesee, keeps us level.

01:38:23.360 --> 01:38:24.660
Tax-pushing down mid.

01:38:24.660 --> 01:38:25.140
Oh, he is.

01:38:25.140 --> 01:38:26.060
Yeah, gonna try and lock the door.

01:38:26.060 --> 01:38:27.220
Apex wants to punish him here.

01:38:27.220 --> 01:38:30.020
Oh, clean headshot from the stand-in.

01:38:30.020 --> 01:38:30.820
I can reset now.

01:38:30.820 --> 01:38:32.580
This is a huge kill from Tacket Change.

01:38:32.580 --> 01:38:34.180
It's the whole dynamic of the round.

01:38:34.180 --> 01:38:35.580
Yeah, he's gonna have a lot to deal with here,

01:38:35.580 --> 01:38:37.700
Keeping back in and pays the ultimate price.

01:38:37.700 --> 01:38:41.580
Mezzie, managing to claw that back will once again turn the tide of battle.

01:38:42.060 --> 01:38:43.140
So I could have Molly on Mezzie now.

01:38:43.140 --> 01:38:44.460
They could just finish over to Woodsby.

01:38:44.460 --> 01:38:46.820
Right, he can smoke towards CT spawn.

01:38:46.820 --> 01:38:51.220
Molly could go backside or coffins if they just want to focus fire elsewhere.

01:38:53.380 --> 01:38:54.780
All this will be well placed.

01:38:54.780 --> 01:38:57.580
Yeah, it's going to force both of them to move.

01:39:00.620 --> 01:39:01.860
Sound cute.

01:39:01.860 --> 01:39:03.140
Son of a woof.

01:39:03.140 --> 01:39:04.740
Oh, onto a quick tap.

01:39:04.740 --> 01:39:06.540
Sumpias has cleaned house.

01:39:06.540 --> 01:39:10.060
Oh, clean from the Spaniard 3 on the USP.

01:39:10.060 --> 01:39:11.660
OK, that's all three pistols.

01:39:11.660 --> 01:39:14.420
So far, 4G2 and the smiles.

01:39:14.420 --> 01:39:16.300
That continues on the face of Nerts right there.

01:39:16.300 --> 01:39:17.100
Beautiful work.

01:39:17.100 --> 01:39:17.780
Wow.

01:39:17.780 --> 01:39:20.020
I think Tax Kill is the one that really threw the round

01:39:20.020 --> 01:39:20.860
into question for me.

01:39:20.860 --> 01:39:22.300
The fact that he overpicks steps back here

01:39:22.300 --> 01:39:24.340
shows that they didn't completely understand where

01:39:24.340 --> 01:39:24.940
everybody was.

01:39:24.940 --> 01:39:27.140
He was worried about somebody in second mid.

01:39:27.140 --> 01:39:29.020
Some really nice shooting from Sumpias.

01:39:29.020 --> 01:39:30.820
The man will take over the in-game leading duties

01:39:30.820 --> 01:39:31.820
while Hunter, I'm sure, he's

01:39:31.820 --> 01:39:41.820
at home right now the bomber unfortunately didn't go down again for vitality they will

01:39:41.820 --> 01:39:49.940
be forcing him on the T side this time nor the mp7 misses signature smg and he will unload

01:39:49.940 --> 01:39:53.660
catches apex didn't spot anything else but there is a smoke to obscure them so I set

01:39:53.660 --> 01:39:58.820
up to receive he's done very well finding two before he gets run down by flamesy and

01:39:58.820 --> 01:40:02.340
messy spray from heavy gods fam has forced away they still have that man

01:40:02.340 --> 01:40:06.340
advantage don't want to concede it throws a HE on his retreat still hasn't

01:40:06.340 --> 01:40:10.380
yet to reload so only nine bullets in the magazine just gonna go for the

01:40:10.380 --> 01:40:16.740
plant here rubs fake fake to draw out a relocation heavy god spans away lots of

01:40:16.740 --> 01:40:22.260
time a lot of time right now so this rounds it forced the full rotation of

01:40:22.260 --> 01:40:25.500
the B defense they could still head back towards B but if matters starts

01:40:25.500 --> 01:40:30.300
roadside now I think you can almost get there in time that late on this so I'll

01:40:30.300 --> 01:40:33.500
be able to get into being get the bomb down nerds charging over remember just

01:40:33.500 --> 01:40:39.300
this mp7 in his hand CT smoked off he likely has to concede this incendiary

01:40:39.300 --> 01:40:42.540
available if you wanted to disrupt the default plant spot throws it out and

01:40:42.540 --> 01:40:48.020
forces Robbs towards the fountain side so still safe flash and push yeah nerds

01:40:48.020 --> 01:40:50.340
gonna try and bring the fight heavy gods caught one through the smoke onto

01:40:50.340 --> 01:40:54.300
Robbs so it falls to flames he to come up clutch Matt is audible building

01:40:54.300 --> 01:40:58.400
little picture as to where these last two are coming from. Have you gotten Mattis in the

01:40:58.400 --> 01:41:04.760
close down? Mattis very quick on this. In unison, Flames is looking away! Mattis closes it down,

01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:08.880
a very threatening second round force from Vitality, but G2 prevailed.

01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:13.300
Okay, well, I'm going down this time, so at least there's some changes there. A bit

01:41:13.300 --> 01:41:19.400
more of a competitive start to this half. You've kept that pressure on that. This

01:41:19.400 --> 01:41:22.320
is where you could start digging yourself into a little bit of trouble. Here's the

01:41:22.320 --> 01:41:26.520
to Aliyu. Have you got getting that on some raps is very frustrating for Mr.

01:41:26.520 --> 01:41:30.720
Cool, but plenty does his best in that one be three. And this is what I was

01:41:30.720 --> 01:41:33.220
talking about in terms of digging yourself into potentially a deep hole.

01:41:33.220 --> 01:41:36.120
You know that the CTs are struggling financially. They win the round shore,

01:41:36.120 --> 01:41:41.120
but they have to drop guns and that's limited. So the buys are seeing two MP7s,

01:41:41.220 --> 01:41:44.720
three M4s. On the other side, I'd say Vitality, you could argue,

01:41:44.720 --> 01:41:47.720
have a better buy as far as the firepower is concerned, two AKs,

01:41:48.120 --> 01:41:51.520
two Galils and a tech nine. It's the youth that's their biggest issue.

01:41:51.520 --> 01:41:53.520
That's again just full aggression

01:41:54.660 --> 01:41:59.260
Same play will it be the same result apex backs away second half fucking damage

01:42:00.560 --> 01:42:05.760
He might just keep pushing that this is the type of game you're a map up you could frustrate them to hell

01:42:06.760 --> 01:42:08.980
Zywu takes a heavy leg so it's tack though

01:42:12.840 --> 01:42:17.060
Very very deep though you could worm through that into T stairs

01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:20.800
But you could have

01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:23.360
Zawoo, considering that possibility,

01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:27.840
Nerts and Tak, the walking wounded, Zawoo down just below half.

01:42:30.240 --> 01:42:33.760
They had brackets control, but now they're working on Banana, need to clear out logs,

01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:36.800
a broom, and force Mattis back who's towards the half wall.

01:42:45.520 --> 01:42:48.560
Now they're hiding their wounded, Nerts is completely relocated.

01:42:48.560 --> 01:42:57.600
jiggle smoke defense for Mattis I wonder if they just play for the save

01:42:57.600 --> 01:43:03.560
considering the finances you're talking about and and the HP yeah so doing a

01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:06.680
good job puffing up his chest is matters but he's playing towards CT side so let's

01:43:06.680 --> 01:43:11.040
say he gets smoked off Apex is throwing one so they have to play through

01:43:11.040 --> 01:43:16.080
these likes they have to go Mattis primed and ready takes one takes the

01:43:16.080 --> 01:43:18.680
head off of Messi as they continue to advance. He is just on his own.

01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:19.520
Surprised, however.

01:43:19.520 --> 01:43:21.520
Now you have a man advantage. I understand you're low.

01:43:21.520 --> 01:43:23.520
Oh, how about two man advantage?

01:43:24.020 --> 01:43:24.820
Nuts!

01:43:26.020 --> 01:43:27.320
Straight through the smoke.

01:43:27.320 --> 01:43:29.320
Quite a cop in these headshots.

01:43:29.320 --> 01:43:31.420
Through the smoke grenades and back to back rounds.

01:43:31.420 --> 01:43:32.220
First Robs.

01:43:33.320 --> 01:43:34.220
Now Flamesy.

01:43:34.220 --> 01:43:35.120
Two kits.

01:43:35.420 --> 01:43:37.920
And just this flash to get them in. How good is it, TAC?

01:43:39.620 --> 01:43:40.420
He's waiting for the call.

01:43:41.720 --> 01:43:42.320
Flash out.

01:43:43.620 --> 01:43:44.680
He picks on that new box.

01:43:44.680 --> 01:43:49.800
Rob's gonna take first contact sends one up to the stratosphere with a nice shot glil connects and fires down

01:43:49.880 --> 01:43:51.880
They lose it all

01:43:51.960 --> 01:43:53.960
Just an mp7 for tag

01:43:55.120 --> 01:44:00.480
It's tough to not go for that, isn't it when matters gets you to there on that be defense you have to give it a crack there I

01:44:01.280 --> 01:44:03.180
Think one of two things will happen

01:44:04.080 --> 01:44:08.520
Either apex will wait until they're in a comfy spot or he won at all, right?

01:44:08.520 --> 01:44:16.320
I'll focus on the actual game now. I mean, I tell you what it's when they win their first

01:44:16.320 --> 01:44:21.040
person of the series. Okay, that's what he's ready to say something. Madison's very well.

01:44:21.040 --> 01:44:27.200
Oh, this one's so good. Such a good read of the situation. Certain players, I don't know

01:44:27.200 --> 01:44:30.560
why I enjoy watching the Madison's one of them belching on comparisons. Another I feel

01:44:30.560 --> 01:44:36.080
they're just they they're team players. They're just their players players. Force

01:44:36.080 --> 01:44:44.720
my back for G2. They can still hold on to the finances. This is the CT smoke against them.

01:44:50.400 --> 01:44:58.720
Blocked? Apex. Whoa. Yeah. All right. Just to grab the smoke. Yeah, deny that so it can't be

01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:00.720
block. I guess that makes sense.

01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:02.720
Another still has another one and a

01:45:02.720 --> 01:45:04.720
HE.

01:45:04.720 --> 01:45:06.720
It's not damaged down there.

01:45:06.720 --> 01:45:08.720
Bombs still need to be picked up

01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:10.720
T stairs. So is that Rob's

01:45:10.720 --> 01:45:12.720
responsibility or is he just going

01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:14.720
to be left on the lurk? Looks like Flames

01:45:14.720 --> 01:45:16.720
will be scooping that up to join Apex

01:45:16.720 --> 01:45:18.720
Zywa, Mezzie and Banana. Remember

01:45:18.720 --> 01:45:20.720
just matters on B and last round he had

01:45:20.720 --> 01:45:22.720
an M4. This round he only has a

01:45:22.720 --> 01:45:24.720
5-7.

01:45:24.720 --> 01:45:26.720
May as well respect the half life of

01:45:26.720 --> 01:45:39.240
of this. And Mattis, I think he knows he would love to stick around but having these upgrades

01:45:39.240 --> 01:45:42.800
into the next is better than being full eco. And we know we can stay with Sir to deal the

01:45:42.800 --> 01:45:48.120
addon in for, he's good for two. I still don't see the bomb as part of this pack, so just

01:45:48.120 --> 01:45:53.280
making sure they're not walking into a stacked vitality. I don't know if I feel that

01:45:53.280 --> 01:45:57.280
sometimes, but they can't see

01:45:57.280 --> 01:45:59.280
through the walls. Yeah. And

01:45:59.280 --> 01:46:01.280
flames. You will sort on over.

01:46:01.280 --> 01:46:05.280
You can re smoke CT. And that

01:46:05.280 --> 01:46:15.280
will be that so to two.

01:46:15.280 --> 01:46:16.280
With all the favorites winning

01:46:16.280 --> 01:46:17.280
their matches yesterday, we're

01:46:17.280 --> 01:46:19.280
definitely got a lot of top tier

01:46:19.280 --> 01:46:21.280
counter strike some treats for

01:46:21.280 --> 01:46:23.280
you're going to be able to

01:46:23.280 --> 01:46:25.280
get some treats for your

01:46:25.280 --> 01:46:26.280
Tuesday spirit versus Falcons

01:46:26.280 --> 01:46:28.280
coming up next year on the A

01:46:28.280 --> 01:46:30.280
stream later today. Fury versus

01:46:30.280 --> 01:46:33.280
Navi. Now Navi have. Kind of

01:46:33.280 --> 01:46:35.280
risen to power taken. That

01:46:35.280 --> 01:46:37.280
second rung spot away from

01:46:37.280 --> 01:46:38.280
Syria last year going into the

01:46:38.280 --> 01:46:40.280
major. I think fury were

01:46:40.280 --> 01:46:41.280
considered one of the biggest

01:46:41.280 --> 01:46:43.280
contenders for vitality, but

01:46:43.280 --> 01:46:45.280
they've had. A mixed bag of

01:46:45.280 --> 01:46:46.280
results. It feels like they're

01:46:46.280 --> 01:46:47.280
either treading water or you

01:46:47.280 --> 01:46:49.280
could even argue on a bit of

01:46:49.280 --> 01:46:50.280
a downward slide. And then

01:46:50.280 --> 01:46:52.080
third series that ended Aurora versus Mous.

01:46:52.080 --> 01:46:54.140
More quality counter strikes around it out.

01:46:54.140 --> 01:46:55.440
I mean, just all day.

01:46:55.440 --> 01:46:56.040
It's great.

01:46:56.040 --> 01:46:58.840
Yeah, it's going to be great.

01:46:58.840 --> 01:47:01.080
I understand that does mean the lower bracket

01:47:01.080 --> 01:47:03.200
looks a little messier.

01:47:03.200 --> 01:47:05.600
But look, we'll take the trade-offs.

01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:13.240
And the six teams can make it to the plus here at IEM Rio.

01:47:13.240 --> 01:47:14.640
Three per group.

01:47:14.640 --> 01:47:16.440
And by winning this match, you guarantee

01:47:16.440 --> 01:47:18.040
either a semi or a quarter final spot.

01:47:18.040 --> 01:47:23.800
seeding match. In this case it'll be against Spirit or Falcons for Vitality or G2. First

01:47:23.800 --> 01:47:29.480
tactical timeout, Saw gets on the microphone. The big boss they call him. A lot to say,

01:47:29.480 --> 01:47:36.200
nobody else speaking whatsoever. Where's Vitality? They're just starting to get things flowing

01:47:36.200 --> 01:47:40.680
as they hope to go forward. Dust2 is the third map of this series. They are 41 and

01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:44.960
4 historically on Dust2. That's a crazy number. Yeah, this is the thing. I'm

01:47:44.960 --> 01:47:49.120
I'm looking at their numbers all the time because this is the team that is setting the

01:47:49.120 --> 01:47:52.640
bar so I'm just always flicking through these these figures.

01:47:52.640 --> 01:47:55.680
I also said Inferno they're on a bit of a run, weren't they?

01:47:55.680 --> 01:47:56.680
Just six straight.

01:47:56.680 --> 01:47:57.680
Oh just a cashier.

01:47:57.680 --> 01:48:11.040
But still early stages, two-tube, all tied up, four saves, no to just take the eco.

01:48:11.040 --> 01:48:15.720
So if the stack ends up in the right place, G2, it can fight for this round.

01:48:15.720 --> 01:48:19.520
But that means that my Tide needs to walk into a trap.

01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:25.400
So more of the same, three-man packing banana just to, for any responses, also flush them

01:48:25.400 --> 01:48:29.240
out sandbags, push them out of the mouth of the banana and set themselves up for what

01:48:29.240 --> 01:48:31.600
could be a very tidy BX, get Nade in.

01:48:31.600 --> 01:48:34.640
Big damage nerds brought down to 19.

01:48:34.640 --> 01:48:35.640
Ouch.

01:48:35.640 --> 01:48:38.140
I think the second one missed.

01:48:45.320 --> 01:48:49.620
Oh, the running headshot from the next USP.

01:48:49.620 --> 01:48:52.320
I think he's had enough of that.

01:48:52.320 --> 01:48:54.420
OK, cancel that and big rotation.

01:48:54.420 --> 01:48:55.260
Look at this tag.

01:48:55.260 --> 01:48:57.320
Some bias both leaving heavy God on his own.

01:48:57.320 --> 01:48:58.700
Mattis goes looking for answers

01:48:58.700 --> 01:49:00.760
and a little shoulder betraying Mattis further away

01:49:00.760 --> 01:49:02.140
from the warm as messy.

01:49:02.140 --> 01:49:03.240
If they had a flash or something,

01:49:03.240 --> 01:49:05.040
I might get a little bit more excited.

01:49:05.640 --> 01:49:17.940
I always wonder what it must feel like to be a player like Robs, because you're playing

01:49:17.940 --> 01:49:19.940
your own little mini game.

01:49:19.940 --> 01:49:23.360
Everyone else is doing the thing that's the objective, and your task is to make sure

01:49:23.360 --> 01:49:28.120
that I'm pushed, be really annoying, don't give them a gun, give us information if required,

01:49:28.120 --> 01:49:29.120
in your own little bubble.

01:49:29.120 --> 01:49:30.120
Yeah, 100%.

01:49:30.120 --> 01:49:34.120
It is kind of a solo mission often for Robs.

01:49:34.120 --> 01:49:39.120
The beauty of the role is that, you know, it's very easy to look like you're baiting.

01:49:39.120 --> 01:49:42.800
Yes, easy to look like you're not a part of the team and you're not helping and contributing.

01:49:42.800 --> 01:49:46.480
But if you can, it's the difference between, you know, a one game and a last game.

01:49:46.480 --> 01:49:52.120
It's such an influential role.

01:49:52.120 --> 01:49:59.360
I feel for Tak in this map, especially the CT side for him, because he's a responsive

01:49:59.360 --> 01:50:00.360
piece.

01:50:00.360 --> 01:50:04.800
Oh, they might be able to toss it for this, good U2 usage, forces U2 back on top of Banana.

01:50:04.800 --> 01:50:10.120
You're never the guy running in and taking the fire in your own terms, responding to the action and hoping

01:50:10.120 --> 01:50:12.120
you're at the right place at the right time.

01:50:12.120 --> 01:50:17.320
Oh, you know, Chief, really nice thinking from Apex, but Matt is still able to try and find one back.

01:50:17.320 --> 01:50:23.520
So, we've combined with the Apex damage to finish off Nertz, so they know only one of the B defenders left.

01:50:23.520 --> 01:50:27.520
Matt is as well very worse for West. 16 points of health as he relocates.

01:50:27.520 --> 01:50:29.520
I love the concept here.

01:50:29.520 --> 01:50:30.520
This is great.

01:50:30.520 --> 01:50:32.600
No contact walk in.

01:50:32.600 --> 01:50:34.200
Peek at your own peril.

01:50:34.200 --> 01:50:35.700
And that's round.

01:50:35.700 --> 01:50:38.160
It's nice because it's likely that Mattis will play

01:50:38.160 --> 01:50:40.260
like a smoke molly defense at that point.

01:50:40.260 --> 01:50:42.040
So the fact that they've just gone contact on him,

01:50:42.040 --> 01:50:43.720
he gets caught with his pants around his ankles

01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:45.240
and G2 has to save.

01:50:45.240 --> 01:50:47.760
So some pys, heavy guard and tack.

01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:50.640
Now get to play the minigame against Robs.

01:50:50.640 --> 01:50:52.960
As Mr. Call won a head for the search.

01:50:52.960 --> 01:50:55.460
And say Peaks want to call more bodies into this.

01:50:57.440 --> 01:50:58.880
I mean, we're looking at their finances.

01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:02.880
would be beneficial.

01:51:02.880 --> 01:51:04.360
And they give themselves the 2900 loss

01:51:04.360 --> 01:51:07.080
bonus into the next. So if they do

01:51:07.080 --> 01:51:09.760
save three, two can drop and they can

01:51:09.760 --> 01:51:10.820
have a right front or they can take the

01:51:10.820 --> 01:51:11.880
eco behind them have a threading

01:51:11.880 --> 01:51:13.160
around and then get a full gun into

01:51:13.160 --> 01:51:14.760
the following. There's lots of options

01:51:14.760 --> 01:51:16.120
but either way the hunt is on. Look at

01:51:16.120 --> 01:51:17.680
the restraint from Robs as well like

01:51:17.680 --> 01:51:18.960
he's not going ahead of the play.

01:51:18.960 --> 01:51:21.880
He's bought time, gets them info for

01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:23.520
them so we now arrive and taps the

01:51:23.520 --> 01:51:25.040
head of tax. Still found flames you

01:51:25.040 --> 01:51:28.240
though. And only two guns. Only

01:51:28.240 --> 01:51:29.800
two had the same.

01:51:33.080 --> 01:51:35.440
Whoa, they hit in by the shoulder

01:51:35.440 --> 01:51:36.640
of heavy God and some buyers

01:51:36.640 --> 01:51:38.760
profits. So they bring two rifles

01:51:38.760 --> 01:51:40.000
through and does that change the

01:51:40.000 --> 01:51:41.160
dynamic of the investment with

01:51:41.160 --> 01:51:42.240
the one one less?

01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:44.720
Yeah, I could you could have I

01:51:44.720 --> 01:51:45.760
understand you need the utility,

01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:46.600
but you could have justified

01:51:46.600 --> 01:51:47.560
another rifle round. You could

01:51:47.560 --> 01:51:48.480
have also gone for that echo

01:51:48.480 --> 01:51:50.240
behind the rifle option to but

01:51:50.240 --> 01:51:52.080
now this almost forces your hand

01:51:52.080 --> 01:51:53.800
into the partial investment behind

01:51:53.800 --> 01:51:56.640
F4s fall by into what'll be round number eight

01:51:58.360 --> 01:52:00.620
That's the kill that confirms the round right there

01:52:01.280 --> 01:52:02.360
Yeah

01:52:02.360 --> 01:52:07.600
Can't be too frustrated about that. Look at this aggression. Have you gone down behind the mid smoke? Okay?

01:52:08.680 --> 01:52:11.360
He picked responsible for tending to this one

01:52:12.480 --> 01:52:19.040
Starts to spam and heavy the pushes through for two third available. So we'll just hang it on by a threat out of it now

01:52:19.040 --> 01:52:28.280
Now, throw an aggression into the mix. What a perfect remedy, a bomb to your economy, woes.

01:52:28.280 --> 01:52:31.720
No worries, boys. I know our rifles are, uh, there's, there's few of them far between,

01:52:31.720 --> 01:52:36.760
but I'll get two. I'll even nearly have three. Zywoo down to seven HP. It's up to flames.

01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:37.920
It erupts really.

01:52:37.920 --> 01:52:42.120
Zywoo had that ace yesterday on Nuke where four of his five kills to close down that

01:52:42.120 --> 01:52:45.000
map were on 17 points of health.

01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:46.000
Good point, well made.

01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:49.800
It was three aces yesterday. One for Zywoo, one for Lucky,

01:52:51.400 --> 01:52:53.800
and one for Mollinois to close down that series.

01:52:54.200 --> 01:52:55.800
But here we go, there's a mid-clamp coming in.

01:52:56.600 --> 01:52:58.500
Tak and Mattis could swing at any moment.

01:52:58.500 --> 01:53:02.900
The site is relatively unfortified, so if they get in without a casualty,

01:53:02.900 --> 01:53:04.800
look at all the U2 a player like Rops has.

01:53:04.800 --> 01:53:07.700
There's three smokes. They could keep Moto Block the entire time.

01:53:10.200 --> 01:53:11.400
Tak and Mattis activate.

01:53:11.400 --> 01:53:11.900
Yeah.

01:53:15.400 --> 01:53:16.300
They might get the timing.

01:53:17.100 --> 01:53:18.200
Well, maybe not anymore.

01:53:19.700 --> 01:53:21.500
Have to plant safe, can't plant open.

01:53:23.200 --> 01:53:25.100
This time we're gonna consider this timing though.

01:53:26.100 --> 01:53:27.000
He drops into pit.

01:53:27.000 --> 01:53:30.800
Two push on in, catches, drops off guard, attack profits as well. Flames E!

01:53:30.800 --> 01:53:32.000
Couldn't catch it.

01:53:32.400 --> 01:53:36.500
Some fires pushes through and G2 make it work on the partial.

01:53:36.500 --> 01:53:39.500
Yeah, 10th round there, but very well done from G2 and it's heavy got.

01:53:39.500 --> 01:53:40.800
The man who gets the double.

01:53:40.800 --> 01:53:44.920
I'm not sure if you could even see apex when he got that sounds kill sound

01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:50.080
It's he apex starts to spam and immediately heavy god starts to return the favor which is it's crazy that he's

01:53:50.640 --> 01:53:54.680
Giving up that position right because he wasn't actually taking any bullets from the spam

01:53:55.960 --> 01:53:58.720
So very well done from heavy god. He had the big clutch

01:53:59.720 --> 01:54:03.480
On the T side of mirage and now on the CT side an impactful double

01:54:05.040 --> 01:54:09.760
To keep it just a one round game so G2 they're bringing it to vitality. Don't you doubt that?

01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:25.040
Triple Nades?

01:54:25.040 --> 01:54:28.280
Oh ho ho ho ho!

01:54:28.280 --> 01:54:30.480
Well Mattis' round is different now!

01:54:30.480 --> 01:54:32.160
Oh mate!

01:54:32.160 --> 01:54:35.400
Man HP after they land on the doorstep.

01:54:35.400 --> 01:54:37.440
Nertz was ahead of that though!

01:54:37.440 --> 01:54:41.560
Yeah, so there's early info that there's nothing crazy half wall which they might

01:54:41.560 --> 01:54:45.760
have been hoping and counting on. I think the other problem is, it's

01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:51.240
unconfirmed damage. You have no idea if those nades hit their target.

01:54:51.240 --> 01:54:54.980
Madison's some higher swap positions swiftly. Madison will go play over to

01:54:54.980 --> 01:54:59.480
ward A and likely just Tarkin. It'll be a double pit setup, hide inside. Somewhere

01:54:59.480 --> 01:55:04.440
where a nade won't be the difference makeup. Yeah, smart.

01:55:05.400 --> 01:55:08.120
Speaking of nades, one thrown back, flames he brought down.

01:55:09.480 --> 01:55:11.160
Oh, he gets away with that.

01:55:11.160 --> 01:55:13.480
Some pass is going to cop a heavy nape damage himself.

01:55:13.480 --> 01:55:15.240
God, there's a lot of HGs going on.

01:55:15.240 --> 01:55:17.720
Oh, being you two damaged for Vitality's favour, this one.

01:55:18.680 --> 01:55:20.920
The bullets will eventually be a part of this.

01:55:23.680 --> 01:55:25.080
Forty seconds for the finish.

01:55:25.080 --> 01:55:28.400
Vitality are setting their sights on the gambled side.

01:55:28.400 --> 01:55:30.840
I say gamble, just three.

01:55:30.840 --> 01:55:32.880
The majority of the defence here.

01:55:32.880 --> 01:55:35.120
Tucker's cheated over as that rotator as well.

01:55:40.480 --> 01:55:42.220
20 seconds now. Has to be big.

01:55:42.220 --> 01:55:42.980
Have to go B.

01:55:47.380 --> 01:55:48.760
That's anti flash.

01:55:48.760 --> 01:55:51.760
We'll have an opportunity to hit the shot, but not before flame speeds into the punch.

01:55:51.760 --> 01:55:55.460
Sapphire is only the one needed to multi bomb.

01:55:55.760 --> 01:55:56.360
Yeah, it was loose.

01:55:56.360 --> 01:55:57.860
No, it's beautiful. Yeah.

01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:00.160
I'll skip my eyes on that.

01:56:00.460 --> 01:56:02.460
Just had enough time to get there and get it down.

01:56:02.460 --> 01:56:05.340
But have you got a matters will have to save some more of that?

01:56:12.140 --> 01:56:15.060
I think this is a tough map to be taking a lot of chances on.

01:56:15.060 --> 01:56:16.060
Here's the triple nades.

01:56:17.380 --> 01:56:18.380
Wow.

01:56:19.300 --> 01:56:21.980
For that position specifically.

01:56:22.260 --> 01:56:24.020
So that was what 91 damage from there.

01:56:24.020 --> 01:56:27.740
And then that one towards CT did about another 58.

01:56:27.740 --> 01:56:29.740
What?

01:56:29.740 --> 01:56:31.740
He was full-fledged.

01:56:31.740 --> 01:56:33.740
53, Madden.

01:56:33.740 --> 01:56:35.740
58, Madden.

01:56:35.740 --> 01:56:39.740
Okay, I'm going to check the Utah damage at the end of this.

01:56:39.740 --> 01:56:41.740
Terrible.

01:56:41.740 --> 01:56:43.740
Terrible.

01:56:43.740 --> 01:56:45.740
Oh, yeah.

01:56:45.740 --> 01:56:47.740
It went significantly up.

01:56:47.740 --> 01:56:51.740
Apex got an extra about 100, and Zywa with another 50.

01:56:51.740 --> 01:56:53.740
This is one of the things, right?

01:56:53.740 --> 01:56:55.740
Obviously, Apex is a very good player.

01:56:55.740 --> 01:57:00.860
This is one of the things right obviously apex is util damage or flash assists are high because

01:57:01.420 --> 01:57:04.220
he's either being given all that utility throw but he's also the one

01:57:04.860 --> 01:57:07.900
Setting the teammates up for those frags right flamsey

01:57:08.220 --> 01:57:13.020
He's had a great year so far and one of the keys that gets to play into that and one of the fact is that we don't really

01:57:13.500 --> 01:57:18.460
Get to see unless it's a breakdown right in terms of some analysis is just how good the flash work is

01:57:18.700 --> 01:57:22.700
Right, how much does this the flashes first of all facilitate the parthing?

01:57:22.700 --> 01:57:26.060
But then if you're an entry frag a lot flamesy and you can trust the flash every time

01:57:26.420 --> 01:57:30.880
You are so confident you are not afraid to go in first and swing. You're not

01:57:31.900 --> 01:57:38.300
Sacrificial you're being set up to succeed and I think that's one of the big factors why Shahar has been able to have a strong year

01:57:38.780 --> 01:57:40.780
Doesn't mean he's not extremely skilled

01:57:41.300 --> 01:57:47.620
It's you need the balance of both right where you there's a reason that the nature in the game and vitality they're using them better than anybody

01:57:48.620 --> 01:57:50.620
so five to three guns

01:57:50.620 --> 01:57:54.940
CNAWP coming to the hands of some pys. We saw this a lot from Flangester they

01:57:54.940 --> 01:57:58.540
operating with Mach 10s and he's doing it again.

01:58:00.940 --> 01:58:04.960
Three sets of head armor though so it will only be able to strip some pys and

01:58:04.960 --> 01:58:07.980
nerds.

01:58:14.340 --> 01:58:18.960
This is definitely an A-play right there's nothing in banana right now the

01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:22.600
the fact that Mac 10's in the mix, I think just hearing that the Mac 10's in the mix

01:58:22.600 --> 01:58:24.160
makes you feel as she took...

01:58:24.160 --> 01:58:24.660
What?!

01:58:24.660 --> 01:58:26.360
Oh ho ho ho ho!

01:58:26.360 --> 01:58:28.560
I mean more on confirmed damage, right?

01:58:28.560 --> 01:58:32.360
Like it's not an aid this time, but equally as unaware.

01:58:33.360 --> 01:58:37.060
Just so many rounds and poor Nerds and Madis have just been walking funny.

01:58:39.560 --> 01:58:42.060
Oh what I thought, I thought it was gonna be A, I guess not.

01:58:42.060 --> 01:58:45.060
We'll see, they have to force this AWP off the line,

01:58:45.060 --> 01:58:47.360
and that's what that flash from Apex is destined for.

01:58:48.960 --> 01:58:57.920
Hick, frag, cracks the scholar, Zywoo, peeking back in is greedy, he's profiting, no, Zumpire's

01:58:57.920 --> 01:59:06.000
shoving them down, vitality, escorted to spawn by the Spanish Sniper. Flamesy one bag, it's all

01:59:06.000 --> 01:59:11.120
on to Rob's walking out apartments and you don't have to really guess too hard if Rob's is alive where

01:59:11.120 --> 01:59:15.200
he might be. That's really well done from Zumpire, he's another member in this G2 jersey who's

01:59:15.200 --> 01:59:19.080
been under a lot of criticism right he's like oh we missed another shot yeah of

01:59:19.080 --> 01:59:22.800
course he did it's impious but right there locking down banana single-handedly

01:59:22.800 --> 01:59:29.520
and the confidence right he dodges the flashes peeks back in yeah that's very

01:59:29.520 --> 01:59:34.160
lucky to be alive isn't he and this is great right so confident just willing

01:59:34.160 --> 01:59:36.680
to put his life on the line

01:59:36.680 --> 01:59:38.680
Oh, it's a good shot, I thought it was SIG, boy!

01:59:40.980 --> 01:59:42.980
I was always gonna bring his ult out.

01:59:43.380 --> 01:59:46.980
Near-degression barrel spotted, some pyre still able to dip away.

01:59:46.980 --> 01:59:48.980
There was some heavy damage on the first spray.

01:59:48.980 --> 01:59:50.980
Again, banana is just getting rinsed.

01:59:51.380 --> 01:59:54.980
But the score is only a one-round difference, so G2, they're holding on.

01:59:55.380 --> 01:59:58.380
Maybe more than holding on, Mattis could drop a big nade in here.

02:00:02.880 --> 02:00:04.880
Finally, a bit of their own back.

02:00:06.680 --> 02:00:15.520
Both teams with only 1,900 loss going into the next, this impacts Vitality more than

02:00:15.520 --> 02:00:16.960
it does G2.

02:00:16.960 --> 02:00:20.440
Vitality lose this, G2 can take the lead.

02:00:20.440 --> 02:00:21.440
Reaggress.

02:00:21.440 --> 02:00:25.480
Ah, four smoke and an orb frag.

02:00:25.480 --> 02:00:27.840
They've made the maid.

02:00:27.840 --> 02:00:29.120
They're flowing right now.

02:00:29.120 --> 02:00:30.120
Bombsaw down T stairs.

02:00:30.120 --> 02:00:32.440
If they want to react quickly towards A, they can't, they have to pick up the

02:00:32.440 --> 02:00:33.440
C4.

02:00:33.440 --> 02:00:41.200
to grab that. Apex calling from the grave. Big round. Very big round. Mattis just took

02:00:41.200 --> 02:00:46.640
a glance at Long. Siwu peeking off onto Heavy God, just a little jiggle on the pit, not enough.

02:00:46.640 --> 02:00:51.900
Still finds Lethal. Mattis making his push through, knows he's going to stay active

02:00:51.900 --> 02:00:57.160
here. Flamesee, wow, catching a nice one onto some

02:00:57.160 --> 02:01:00.240
pyres on the library rotation. Still carrying it in the back of Sighted's

02:01:00.240 --> 02:01:04.980
He's done well, but not well enough, so I will quick on the trades.

02:01:04.980 --> 02:01:08.120
His orb comes out and Vitality find a 6th.

02:01:08.120 --> 02:01:11.800
I like that from Tak, right, immediately into the prefire on the other angle, seeing if he

02:01:11.800 --> 02:01:13.720
could get himself a double.

02:01:13.720 --> 02:01:18.040
So they avoid disaster there, Vitality, they're going to get themselves up to 6th.

02:01:18.040 --> 02:01:21.640
There is money for G2, just take a look at the bottom right-hand side of your screen.

02:01:21.640 --> 02:01:24.640
With the 1900 coming in, everybody's going to be able to buy, don't you worry about

02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:25.640
that.

02:01:25.640 --> 02:01:29.200
Nertz would have been the only one in question, and he's the man saving, so all good

02:01:29.200 --> 02:01:33.960
to go again. I've got two rounds left in the half after this one. But this is a competitive

02:01:33.960 --> 02:01:40.400
series. I think after we saw what happened on Mirage, just gives G2, they're more emboldened

02:01:40.400 --> 02:01:46.000
to take more risks, take more chances, play with more confidence. But it's not just like

02:01:46.000 --> 02:01:50.160
to some of the moves that they're making quite nice, good team play.

02:01:50.160 --> 02:02:01.000
And Apex again, haven't heard a peep out of him.

02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:04.920
I think I'm going to be drawn into that game again.

02:02:04.920 --> 02:02:08.280
Third tactical timeout in the first half.

02:02:08.280 --> 02:02:09.280
Yep.

02:02:09.280 --> 02:02:10.280
Yep.

02:02:10.280 --> 02:02:11.280
Cool, I guess.

02:02:11.280 --> 02:02:16.120
He was even like deliberately positioning himself far away from the box to be like

02:02:16.120 --> 02:02:17.120
harder to walk by.

02:02:17.120 --> 02:02:18.120
Oh, mate.

02:02:18.120 --> 02:02:24.120
And so he's got a T side AWP now. He's like the way St Pius is AWP. Look, do you figure

02:02:24.120 --> 02:02:25.120
how to do that too?

02:02:25.120 --> 02:02:26.120
I want one of those.

02:02:26.120 --> 02:02:31.120
And that actually matches the output as well. Triple kill from Zywoo. T side AWP on Inferno.

02:02:31.120 --> 02:02:37.120
Very few AWPs can apply their trade on that side as well as Zywoo.

02:02:37.120 --> 02:02:45.120
Now G2 managed seven CT side rounds against the gentlemates. It wasn't enough to get

02:02:45.120 --> 02:02:50.000
to get them across the line in the map by any stretch. They only managed one on the T side.

02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:55.040
Okay. So they could still level up the half 6-6 and they're in with a shot, right? They're

02:02:55.040 --> 02:03:00.800
so far three from three on pistols. But for G2 to have a chance to take this 2-0,

02:03:00.800 --> 02:03:05.280
I think they need to tie up the half. Oh, especially when you remember the potency

02:03:05.280 --> 02:03:10.080
of Vitality's CT side. You talk about their names, you wait till they get to the CT side.

02:03:10.080 --> 02:03:16.080
they've got some incredible combinations. Now it swings in, lovely damage inflicted,

02:03:16.080 --> 02:03:20.080
he's sticking around as well, this is the confidence you are hoping to see more of.

02:03:20.080 --> 02:03:47.160
I hope we get that from his perspective.

02:03:47.160 --> 02:03:49.000
Maybe it looked more impressive from Robson's I'm not sure.

02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:53.960
I think that was pure he got caught off guard there. I looked nuts. Yeah quick flick. Have you got pushing apps?

02:03:54.600 --> 02:03:56.200
They have to go be

02:03:56.200 --> 02:03:58.200
channeled into nerds

02:03:58.240 --> 02:04:00.240
trade available I

02:04:02.680 --> 02:04:07.440
Love this heavy goddess completely cut them off of the past if you come back. This is a really tough line and

02:04:08.040 --> 02:04:12.360
Everyone else has been able to rotate some pious with the alley you the flash. Oh more than a damage

02:04:19.000 --> 02:04:48.000
And the money wasn't great. The loss winners obviously went down one. So this final rounds there might be two AKs, maybe three if they want to forgo a little bit of utility.

02:04:48.000 --> 02:04:54.960
bit of utility. So, Nezzy, just slightly ahead of that smoke that they've lobbed forward there,

02:04:54.960 --> 02:04:57.600
gets caught by a nerd before the YouTube. Yeah, okay.

02:04:59.440 --> 02:05:05.200
Reasonable. Reasonable. Yeah. Okay. Mac 10, two tech nice, two way case.

02:05:06.560 --> 02:05:11.200
Can Vitality take the lead of the half or of G2? Put in a shift to tie things up.

02:05:18.000 --> 02:05:20.000
There's no fucking sign on it anymore.

02:05:20.000 --> 02:05:22.000
Oh, but don't laugh at about it.

02:05:22.000 --> 02:05:24.000
The smile on Zywick's face.

02:05:24.000 --> 02:05:25.000
There's two having a good time.

02:05:25.000 --> 02:05:27.000
I know Shahar was going to have some...

02:05:27.000 --> 02:05:28.000
You have some...

02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:29.000
You could dig, he says, right?

02:05:29.000 --> 02:05:30.000
Yeah, exactly.

02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:31.000
The funniest kid.

02:05:31.000 --> 02:05:32.000
He is.

02:05:32.000 --> 02:05:34.000
Fantastic.

02:05:34.000 --> 02:05:36.000
Okay.

02:05:36.000 --> 02:05:38.000
Apex is in a lot of trouble.

02:05:38.000 --> 02:05:40.000
Mattis will take him down with the eight cheeks

02:05:40.000 --> 02:05:42.000
and combine with Nerse's bullets.

02:05:44.000 --> 02:05:47.000
Apex had a tough go with opening zero and five after that one.

02:05:48.000 --> 02:05:52.000
Looks like it's going to be an apt test for Heavy God and TAC.

02:05:52.000 --> 02:05:54.000
Be one hell of a flashbang.

02:05:54.000 --> 02:05:57.000
Heavy God does get spotted out with the trajectories.

02:05:57.000 --> 02:06:00.000
There are those TAC activates and covers.

02:06:00.000 --> 02:06:03.000
A one magazine double headshot spray.

02:06:03.000 --> 02:06:04.000
Well done enough.

02:06:04.000 --> 02:06:05.000
Beautiful, yeah.

02:06:05.000 --> 02:06:08.000
Six-six on the half all tied up.

02:06:08.000 --> 02:06:20.200
Can't argue with that very competitive G2 looking to do one better than just a map win.

02:06:20.200 --> 02:06:22.200
This series is really available.

02:06:50.200 --> 02:06:52.200
I

02:09:50.200 --> 02:09:55.160
A2's opening game on the A stream so much good Counter Strike coming for you today.

02:09:55.160 --> 02:09:59.000
Four best of threes with all the big names and one of the big names at the top of the

02:09:59.000 --> 02:10:02.200
pyramid is Vitality, we're getting a bit rocked.

02:10:02.200 --> 02:10:06.640
First map was a stomp in favour of G2 and now we're heading into the second half of

02:10:06.640 --> 02:10:09.640
our second map with a 6-6 scoreline.

02:10:09.640 --> 02:10:14.680
Chad has his doubts about whether the G2 can put it together on the T side and understandably

02:10:14.680 --> 02:10:19.360
so given their performance versus the gentle mates netting them just one T side round

02:10:19.360 --> 02:10:23.840
yesterday. I don't know if they go four from four on pistols. Yes. So there is a big way in for G2.

02:10:24.720 --> 02:10:31.200
This is the 22nd series for Vitality this year. They've only lost one. That was to Falcons and that

02:10:31.200 --> 02:10:35.920
was with the stand-in. If their second loss all year is to another team with the stand-in,

02:10:36.720 --> 02:10:40.800
I think everyone knows what the new recipe is. The new meta. This is for the playoffs.

02:10:40.800 --> 02:10:44.240
There is a lot on the line right now, not just the records, not just the streaks.

02:10:44.240 --> 02:10:50.140
The Grand Slam, the wide Vitality are here, and it's going to be a five versus two on this B-bomb site.

02:10:50.140 --> 02:10:54.240
Sairway throws out a block smoke, Messi in partnership with a nice clean headshot onto Nerf to start.

02:10:54.240 --> 02:10:57.140
Sairway racks them up, and it's a two-man defense.

02:10:57.840 --> 02:11:01.640
Vitality have found their form, and they've found their first pistol.

02:11:01.640 --> 02:11:18.780
I shot down a shot out of that one, but, uh, well, hmm, not flawless after all, after

02:11:18.780 --> 02:11:19.780
all.

02:11:19.780 --> 02:11:21.800
How many more can some pyres get?

02:11:21.800 --> 02:11:24.760
Rops has made sure there's no way back.

02:11:24.760 --> 02:11:30.760
There you go, Zywa swings in, gets his third for the round, and...

02:11:30.760 --> 02:11:37.240
It is in the building. His cousin's not here. No, he's not with the way any name tack is and for him

02:11:38.640 --> 02:11:44.160
This would be a huge opportunity of G2 go through to the playoffs and he gets a chance to play on a stage

02:11:44.280 --> 02:11:49.360
Yeah, and he knows that that getting the play on the main roster is a chance to put yourself in the shop window

02:11:49.880 --> 02:11:51.880
the fact that you've taken a map

02:11:52.040 --> 02:11:53.240
one of

02:11:53.240 --> 02:11:55.560
Six maps the Vatadi have lost this year

02:11:55.560 --> 02:12:00.180
Yeah, TAC was in the server, so he's gonna be feeling damn good about that.

02:12:00.180 --> 02:12:01.680
Put that one on the resumé.

02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:05.560
How much farther can they push the issue?

02:12:05.560 --> 02:12:08.760
Apex did let out a roar with that one, knowing that this pistol round is gonna set them up,

02:12:08.760 --> 02:12:12.540
because the first half, it wasn't a walk in the park.

02:12:12.540 --> 02:12:15.040
Some tense moments.

02:12:15.040 --> 02:12:19.840
Nades view forward.

02:12:19.840 --> 02:12:23.240
Damn, lots of damage done, and they should just be able to farm this one up.

02:12:23.240 --> 02:12:24.760
Now, hold up a second.

02:12:24.760 --> 02:12:29.540
Flames he's actually got a lot of work to do very nice quick flick up onto the jump spot from heavy God

02:12:30.320 --> 02:12:32.320
I need Vegas got booked there

02:12:34.620 --> 02:12:36.620
Surprise course scavenging

02:12:38.500 --> 02:12:40.500
You won't get through this

02:12:41.040 --> 02:12:43.040
It's then quick sweater reload

02:12:44.040 --> 02:12:50.840
He's a jump and tackle punish it all right. Well, they do have to die. How much more damage can they get done?

02:12:50.840 --> 02:12:52.680
It's just Xywa and A right now.

02:12:52.680 --> 02:12:56.520
Rops has joined Mezi over towards B to support this, but nobody's home.

02:12:56.520 --> 02:12:59.680
Just kill Xywa with a Glock, and you get a bomb plant.

02:12:59.680 --> 02:13:01.480
That's all you have to do.

02:13:01.480 --> 02:13:03.480
Okay, sounds simple.

02:13:03.480 --> 02:13:04.480
Yeah.

02:13:04.480 --> 02:13:05.760
He's not going to give you the fight.

02:13:05.760 --> 02:13:09.640
In fact, he's going to peek out just as you're clearing site.

02:13:09.640 --> 02:13:15.440
Oh, no bomb was spotted there, and no binoculars completely clear, so it has to

02:13:15.440 --> 02:13:16.440
be A.

02:13:16.440 --> 02:13:19.960
I'm unlikely to see Xywa get sidelined here, and the head has been spotted

02:13:19.960 --> 02:13:25.440
even by this time for a second decent dink they're from tack but there you go

02:13:25.440 --> 02:13:34.600
eight to six two round gap but the guns come out now for G2 very communicative

02:13:34.600 --> 02:13:41.640
mr. Zai with today yeah I think he's that they didn't always smile and eat

02:13:41.640 --> 02:13:48.040
the toy oh they're having a great time he can't get down in the dumps when you

02:13:48.040 --> 02:13:50.680
get your first taste of defeat you know the rops isn't feeling great he's doing

02:13:50.680 --> 02:13:54.800
out yeah he's uh he's having a tough game his team side was not fun apex is

02:13:54.800 --> 02:14:00.040
four and eleven yeah the prime lurk apps versus heavy god

02:14:02.800 --> 02:14:08.680
whoa that's a lot of damage tack and masses is ringing it's just flamesy on

02:14:08.680 --> 02:14:11.720
beef and now apex is actually Johnson over the whole day they're playing

02:14:11.720 --> 02:14:17.240
hope they're ahead of that wanted to be to be they have a four strong mid

02:14:17.240 --> 02:14:21.240
defense, so they're hoping for one or two things. They just want to stall them out when

02:14:21.240 --> 02:14:25.040
they go for the bracket control and win the round in that skirmish, or they really think

02:14:25.040 --> 02:14:33.240
it's going to be some type of an A-play. So really, all the pressure is on Flames.

02:14:33.240 --> 02:14:41.080
So a break, easy for Flamesy, picks it up, lovely, double, third is asking too much.

02:14:41.080 --> 02:14:44.560
Into the site with a man disadvantage, and I say, oh man, look at Nertis' health

02:14:44.560 --> 02:14:48.580
as well. It's so easy to go down on these fans. So much useful for the retake too.

02:14:48.580 --> 02:14:53.100
Robson, Zyra with full belts. So that being cash right now, trying to set them up for this,

02:14:53.100 --> 02:14:56.700
but you want to wait for the seat to specter fade. Done. Now you have to talk

02:14:56.700 --> 02:15:01.740
about where are we modelling, who's flashing, let's go. Have you got smoked off here?

02:15:01.740 --> 02:15:07.780
And some pyres bringing the 5-4. Don't forget about Nerth's low health. Have you got,

02:15:07.780 --> 02:15:13.780
Nose is going to step up. He does in combination with Nerth's simultaneous multi-kills. No

02:15:13.780 --> 02:15:20.380
No one saw that coming. You can see a surprise look over the faces of G2. They strike perfectly.

02:15:20.380 --> 02:15:24.380
Okay, well, there's the firepower output working as intended. That is beautiful.

02:15:24.380 --> 02:15:26.380
How's Nurt's got two on the low HP?

02:15:26.380 --> 02:15:28.380
He's done very well there.

02:15:28.380 --> 02:15:30.380
Well, that's...

02:15:30.380 --> 02:15:32.380
I can leave a mark on Vitality's finances here.

02:15:32.380 --> 02:15:34.380
They will be able to buy against Shaw.

02:15:34.380 --> 02:15:36.380
So, I think he does more than you can ask for in this situation.

02:15:36.380 --> 02:15:38.380
He's on his own. He gets a double kill.

02:15:38.380 --> 02:15:40.380
Shaw, you can argue, okay, why isn't he dropping back?

02:15:40.380 --> 02:15:42.380
He could have played his luck, but that all happened in a split second.

02:15:42.380 --> 02:15:47.540
Second, Ners getting both confidence players, have he got takes down the CT side and just a one-round at game

02:15:48.020 --> 02:15:51.220
They can tie things up here and ruin the money of vitality

02:15:52.740 --> 02:15:57.620
Perfectly timed on the peak, Apex Core with his mates are out and flames he could be his next victim

02:15:57.860 --> 02:16:03.260
Flash connects, cover is there, tag peeks in and unison, nice from Ners with three quick kills

02:16:03.620 --> 02:16:08.980
And the round already over with, this force by has gone absolutely nowhere for vitality

02:16:08.980 --> 02:16:15.700
I think apex needs to know who's casting his games when he buys the mag 7 because every time he buys the mag 7 when you and I casting

02:16:15.700 --> 02:16:19.540
He gets nothing done. Yeah, but I have seen games where he buys it and he does get kills

02:16:19.540 --> 02:16:21.220
It's just when you and I are the ones on the mic

02:16:21.220 --> 02:16:26.860
I didn't know we had the power of a specific weapons specific weapon cast that is a new variation

02:16:27.060 --> 02:16:30.120
That's that nerds with two hugely impactful rounds back-to-back

02:16:30.120 --> 02:16:35.000
And he had a really really tough goal things in the first half think about how many rounds getting spammed through smoke through wood

02:16:35.000 --> 02:16:41.720
We're getting knaded getting solid out of position three and seven if I'm not mistaken or something like it would have been one and seven. Yeah, it was bleak

02:16:42.840 --> 02:16:44.840
So Zahua and rops will save

02:16:52.360 --> 02:16:57.000
And this one is essentially worth to show you didn't wipe the board

02:16:58.200 --> 02:17:01.800
But apex flamesy and messy. I'm not in a position to invest anything

02:17:01.800 --> 02:17:06.180
thing. Zawoo and Rob, sure they could get active. And here it is. Apex has absolutely

02:17:06.180 --> 02:17:10.800
no idea. He's just peering around a corner with utility's hands, completely blind. Nuts

02:17:10.800 --> 02:17:21.640
gets that one and just keeps delivering. The newest addition to the G2 jersey and he's

02:17:21.640 --> 02:17:25.320
delivering impacts for the team. So the boss man must be happy with that. But how

02:17:25.320 --> 02:17:27.320
How are they going to try and use Zawoo in this one?

02:17:34.320 --> 02:17:36.320
Again, this is direct call.

02:17:41.320 --> 02:17:45.320
Zawoo with his M4, he's going to have an opportunity for that.

02:17:45.320 --> 02:17:46.320
Playing on the fade.

02:17:46.320 --> 02:17:47.320
Playing on the fade.

02:17:48.320 --> 02:17:50.320
Zawoo dead with nothing!

02:17:50.320 --> 02:17:53.320
Empty handed, tax the one that's taken down, just robs here.

02:17:53.320 --> 02:17:59.080
And he's gone down to tack to lovely double entry from the stand in back in the lead G2 9 to 8

02:18:04.600 --> 02:18:08.040
And what point do you start getting a little concern now?

02:18:08.840 --> 02:18:13.500
Yeah, I think with some of the reactions. I'm seeing from apex the fact that ropz is really having a tough goer things

02:18:14.960 --> 02:18:20.280
There's the next buy is is also going to be a little bit meek for vitality. It's not going to be perfect

02:18:20.280 --> 02:18:22.280
It's not going to be exactly everything that they need

02:18:22.280 --> 02:18:28.280
So, they're in a lot of trouble. This is playoffs on the line. Sure, they can drop down to the lower bracket. They can still make it.

02:18:30.280 --> 02:18:32.280
There's no doubt about that.

02:18:35.280 --> 02:18:40.280
But the conversation in the Counter-Strike world is, can anybody stop these guys?

02:18:40.280 --> 02:18:44.280
Well, there's G2 with a stand-in and the only other loss they've got all year was Falcons with a stand-in.

02:18:46.280 --> 02:18:48.280
Starting to connect some dots.

02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:52.280
And the stand-in steps up in this round.

02:18:52.280 --> 02:18:57.280
Only the first tactical timeout of X-Tags right now, but this is where...

02:18:57.280 --> 02:19:01.280
I don't want to say I have to dig deep. I'm just going to start digging.

02:19:01.280 --> 02:19:07.280
And you got your first pistol. You know, I thought that was a clear indicator of the dust tools as it was a certainty.

02:19:07.280 --> 02:19:13.280
What do I know? Three consecutive T-side rounds. Individuals taking their turn.

02:19:13.280 --> 02:19:16.280
Apex is 0 and 7 in terms of opening jewels.

02:19:16.280 --> 02:19:20.480
opening jewels. Yeah, hence his reactions. Yeah. And it's not only that late last year,

02:19:20.480 --> 02:19:25.000
well, I mean late last year, but in the rough patch for vitality in the second season, it

02:19:25.000 --> 02:19:28.400
felt like Apex was trying to force the issue on things a lot more. I haven't seen that

02:19:28.400 --> 02:19:32.800
today, right? But he's still getting caught out a lot in these opening exchanges. So

02:19:32.800 --> 02:19:38.480
have you seen the vitality scoreboard? Like run your eyes down the left side of

02:19:38.480 --> 02:19:43.640
your screen. You'll see some glaring contrast between flame seat, Zairu and the rest.

02:19:43.640 --> 02:19:48.880
Think of apex has 14 deaths and seven of them are opening. Yeah that not all worth the same right some will be on

02:19:48.880 --> 02:19:50.880
EECS some of the online advice, but

02:19:54.800 --> 02:19:57.880
There's no king play there's there's absolutely no kit

02:19:58.560 --> 02:20:03.520
So you find yourself in a post plan situation of this one and they're gonna have to say go where the business end your flash

02:20:03.520 --> 02:20:09.580
Flames in stay all this trick in the book and this was just a bit of a bait and switch forces out your utile

02:20:13.640 --> 02:20:23.360
Miner down edge, Romps has been boosted up, hoping that this duo at various elevations

02:20:23.360 --> 02:20:25.280
is going to work out for the mid shut down.

02:20:25.280 --> 02:20:28.320
They got Mezzi parked in pit.

02:20:28.320 --> 02:20:34.840
This setup, it's the longest rotation possible with this setup for B. So, if G2, just group,

02:20:34.840 --> 02:20:37.440
which they're starting to, it's a ward for Nanna, they're not being harassed at

02:20:37.440 --> 02:20:40.160
half wall, they're not being native at it, the utils not there, right?

02:20:40.160 --> 02:20:42.760
Vitality don't have everything they need to be as liberal as they would normally

02:20:42.760 --> 02:20:51.360
B. Okay, so some pirates is having a full three smoke fake dropped for him. I think he's going

02:20:51.360 --> 02:21:06.960
to be throwing full a smokes from that corner.

02:21:06.960 --> 02:21:12.120
Tall on this B defense. Just flames in apex. Heavy gods keeping their boots planted. I

02:21:12.120 --> 02:21:20.600
was trying to cheat away. He will get away. Nice from Apex, Apex stepping up, can't find

02:21:20.600 --> 02:21:24.680
the third Mattis, just about prevails. Good clear, good awareness from Robs, he was ready

02:21:24.680 --> 02:21:28.560
for the lurk. They're not looking like it's going to find it. Oh, it's just in time!

02:21:28.560 --> 02:21:32.880
They haven't got the time for the plants and Pyre's disconnected and they're HG from

02:21:32.880 --> 02:21:37.600
Zywoo, enough to win the round. Wow, vitality, that was a threat. That was a big threat.

02:21:37.600 --> 02:21:41.280
The whole squad, five players committing in towards the B bomb site and you still

02:21:41.280 --> 02:21:45.600
come out on top. Good job there from Apex who are just talking about his lack of contributions

02:21:45.600 --> 02:21:49.280
right there able to assist in that defence. Good awareness there from Zaywee right he's

02:21:49.280 --> 02:21:52.840
lining up the HE to throw it towards the default plant spot but here's that it's not being

02:21:52.840 --> 02:21:57.240
plant that beep right triangulating his position but he's so narrow on and denies the bomb

02:21:57.240 --> 02:22:04.560
going down because this still, he's lucky he was low as hell. Another Death Stam

02:22:04.560 --> 02:22:09.240
slam there from Mattis but they've still got the money. Not out of the woods

02:22:09.240 --> 02:22:11.780
It's just, yeah, our Vitality.

02:22:11.780 --> 02:22:22.840
Another one of those required to get on top of the Finances, force G2 down to a partial.

02:22:22.840 --> 02:22:24.840
Hebex talking a lot, micromanaging.

02:22:24.840 --> 02:22:39.080
G2 has done a good job avoiding the majority of Vitality's HE damage.

02:22:39.080 --> 02:22:43.320
Flames is in their blind spot, catches them off with one, make it two!

02:22:43.320 --> 02:22:46.680
Quick adjustment into attack, swing on the half wall.

02:22:49.400 --> 02:22:51.080
This Matt isn't heavy, got duo on.

02:22:51.080 --> 02:22:52.520
Starting to probe up mid.

02:22:52.520 --> 02:22:53.320
Zawoo down!

02:22:53.320 --> 02:22:54.920
Oh, easy pickings!

02:22:54.920 --> 02:22:55.640
Lops down!

02:22:55.640 --> 02:22:56.360
Zawoo down!

02:22:56.360 --> 02:22:57.400
A site to take!

02:22:57.960 --> 02:22:59.080
It's free!

02:22:59.080 --> 02:23:00.440
Nerds go get the bomb across,

02:23:00.440 --> 02:23:03.240
room to stretch their legs and set up the post plan.

02:23:03.240 --> 02:23:04.360
They do have a kit, sure,

02:23:04.360 --> 02:23:06.440
but this is going to be a very, very tough retake.

02:23:06.440 --> 02:23:07.400
Number disadvantage.

02:23:07.400 --> 02:23:12.200
Wait smoke. Oh, it's probably his own. I'd be a little bit deep. Have you got on this pixel?

02:23:12.200 --> 02:23:16.120
Mezzie, how aware are you? Just gonna walk his head straight into the line of fire. Mattis finds

02:23:16.120 --> 02:23:20.440
the final frag and G2 turned that round on its head. That's massive. Right now,

02:23:20.440 --> 02:23:24.360
the money is in the mud for Vitality. There's only two players who may be three players who

02:23:24.360 --> 02:23:32.520
could justify rifles. They are in so much trouble. This could be it. A lower bracket calling

02:23:32.520 --> 02:23:41.680
Vitality's name. Since when? Since when? Stand ins, the counter. Every roster in Counter

02:23:41.680 --> 02:23:46.960
Strike gonna start fielding subs in their head to head with Vitality.

02:23:46.960 --> 02:23:52.760
They've gone a hero M4 into this one and a mag 7, I'll attack 9 to P250.

02:23:52.760 --> 02:23:56.120
What is that? A flying mag 10 from some pious but at least the trade he pulls across

02:23:56.120 --> 02:24:02.400
that keeps Flamesy humble. It's just a 5-7. So it's not even that, sorry a P250

02:24:02.400 --> 02:24:03.400
And a mag seven.

02:24:06.060 --> 02:24:07.460
Now it's coming in.

02:24:07.460 --> 02:24:10.560
Big one, into the screen number two from Apex as well,

02:24:10.560 --> 02:24:13.220
making that shotgun sing.

02:24:13.220 --> 02:24:15.060
Now it's just on the retreat, looking to partner up

02:24:15.060 --> 02:24:16.900
with Heavy God to try and find a way back in.

02:24:16.900 --> 02:24:18.460
These are the type of rounds Vitality went

02:24:18.460 --> 02:24:19.580
to dig themselves out of holes.

02:24:19.580 --> 02:24:22.500
So that isn't Heavy God.

02:24:24.220 --> 02:24:28.420
These two in the clutch, I don't mind it.

02:24:28.420 --> 02:24:50.420
I've seen these individuals plot some wild moments before, so why not now? Matt is keeping up the performance from Matt 1, 18 and 9, as he's going to tuck back in with an AK back of the site. Apex letting a cheat over there is acknowledgement from Apex to potentially head over towards A.

02:24:50.420 --> 02:24:53.700
drops is coming over as well was it

02:24:53.700 --> 02:24:59.020
still trying to piece this one together 40 seconds but it will be the be finish

02:24:59.020 --> 02:25:04.580
they do contact in apex's angle is designed to deal with this

02:25:04.580 --> 02:25:08.900
as he remains hidden apex just gonna be trying to ward them off

02:25:08.900 --> 02:25:12.660
and he's heard him, he's fired him, wishes he had his gun out now but master should go down

02:25:12.660 --> 02:25:18.100
up and over for heavy gov, flying in gets the frag and 45 HP peeking into apex

02:25:18.100 --> 02:25:23.220
has him low. This is scary. This is threatening. Have you got a little fake on the plant? Confirmed

02:25:23.220 --> 02:25:28.020
Xi was rotated through and now let's bought time for apex knife out to walk in and deny on the plant

02:25:28.740 --> 02:25:33.300
10 to 10. They dig themselves out of trouble apex with high impact. You were talking about

02:25:33.300 --> 02:25:38.660
his opening deaths. Well, how about a 3k shut down with the mag seven? Okay, well, he's fixed

02:25:38.660 --> 02:25:41.860
the jinx, hasn't he? The mag seven is working in his hands. And that's an awful lot of cash

02:25:41.860 --> 02:25:46.740
right there off the back of this. So fourth, the mag seven denies the entry in towards B.

02:25:46.740 --> 02:25:51.620
And this was an M4 in the mix. This was a max evidence and pistol upgrade.

02:25:51.620 --> 02:25:54.100
So there you have it. Apex getting himself up to double digits now.

02:25:55.220 --> 02:25:56.580
It's going to be a shove from G2.

02:25:57.700 --> 02:25:58.980
It's tackled the armored glock.

02:25:59.940 --> 02:26:00.660
How am I tripping?

02:26:00.660 --> 02:26:01.620
It looks like it.

02:26:01.620 --> 02:26:02.100
Wow.

02:26:13.460 --> 02:26:14.820
Herba wins this round, wins the game.

02:26:14.820 --> 02:26:21.400
Okay, I better lock in then.

02:26:21.400 --> 02:26:22.400
Only chip damage.

02:26:22.400 --> 02:26:27.040
Returns to the favor, funny number for Flamesy.

02:26:27.040 --> 02:26:33.800
Looks like it's a call surround on the strat sheet.

02:26:33.800 --> 02:26:37.640
Fire's off an AWP shot, an order wall, and retreating.

02:26:37.640 --> 02:26:40.140
Thank you, Stas.

02:26:40.140 --> 02:26:41.640
Banana kick, Tuxmo.

02:26:41.640 --> 02:26:42.640
Tick, Tuxmo.

02:26:42.640 --> 02:26:43.640
That's a great name.

02:26:43.640 --> 02:27:02.440
3.25 on long causes questions for this a defense. How bracket control. Very limited user for

02:27:02.440 --> 02:27:10.160
the finish hoping for an info player regressor walk into this. That was his nothing.

02:27:10.160 --> 02:27:12.400
as he's in two mines.

02:27:12.400 --> 02:27:14.200
You're thinking maybe it's another BXQ,

02:27:14.200 --> 02:27:15.240
they've run out awful lot of them,

02:27:15.240 --> 02:27:16.400
but it's actually gonna be on Robs.

02:27:16.400 --> 02:27:17.920
And Robs, he's at a tough game,

02:27:17.920 --> 02:27:19.680
only three kills to his name.

02:27:19.680 --> 02:27:21.640
If they wrap, Zywoo's AWP can contribute.

02:27:24.040 --> 02:27:25.560
Next peek from Zywoo on the long side,

02:27:25.560 --> 02:27:26.760
he's gonna find bomb on Mattis,

02:27:26.760 --> 02:27:28.960
heavy God as well, does he peek in?

02:27:28.960 --> 02:27:30.520
They're closing the gap now,

02:27:32.120 --> 02:27:33.400
tantalizingly close,

02:27:33.400 --> 02:27:35.440
they're gonna just dribble a smoke in front of Zywoo,

02:27:35.440 --> 02:27:36.280
still be able to get,

02:27:36.280 --> 02:27:37.280
Oh no!

02:27:37.280 --> 02:27:38.280
Oh no!

02:27:38.280 --> 02:27:39.280
Robbs stepping up and delivering!

02:27:39.280 --> 02:27:45.780
Doubling his kill total if you can get one more but unable to provide his Mattis in response.

02:27:45.780 --> 02:27:46.780
Bomb goes down.

02:27:46.780 --> 02:27:49.780
A man advantage for Vitality on this retake though.

02:27:49.780 --> 02:27:53.660
Couple of flashes in a molly to defend this and what a play right now is from Heavy God

02:27:53.660 --> 02:27:54.660
in library.

02:27:54.660 --> 02:27:55.660
Yeah it's really good.

02:27:55.660 --> 02:27:56.660
He's going to go overlooked.

02:27:56.660 --> 02:27:58.180
He's going to make things really difficult for your long approach.

02:27:58.180 --> 02:27:59.180
Default plant though.

02:27:59.180 --> 02:28:00.180
Sorry, we lingered.

02:28:00.180 --> 02:28:04.660
It's going to try and provide Utah but it's the Heavy God position that seems

02:28:04.660 --> 02:28:05.660
destined for success here.

02:28:05.660 --> 02:28:11.940
He's heard Zyber throwing those grenades should have him booked as they have messy and flames. He coming in from the shore side Apex from the apartments

02:28:12.180 --> 02:28:17.860
So I will a dead man. Have you got revealed this position? Oh, it's one from apex, but still matters is solid and

02:28:18.700 --> 02:28:24.700
11 4g2 they are two away from sending vitality to the lower bracket here in Rio de Janeiro again

02:28:24.700 --> 02:28:30.940
It's all about the money right this late stage. It's been back and forth 1400 1400 1900 both teams just had these cobbled together buys

02:28:31.860 --> 02:28:33.900
That's what I'm saying that round there essentially the game

02:28:33.900 --> 02:28:38.460
I don't think Vitaly can pull another round out where Apex gets a multi-kill on this mag 7.

02:28:38.460 --> 02:28:41.100
It's Zywoo in with the best weapon right now being a Famous.

02:28:41.100 --> 02:28:44.300
I could make an argument that maybe it's the 5-7 in Flamesy's hands.

02:28:44.300 --> 02:28:47.020
A P250 for Mezzie. A light smattering of U2.

02:28:47.020 --> 02:28:48.300
Rops down with an MP9.

02:28:49.820 --> 02:28:53.260
Just two rounds now for G2. That's all it's going to take and getting fired up.

02:28:53.260 --> 02:29:00.260
Junkie! Solid damage from the early HG banana.

02:29:23.260 --> 02:29:27.260
A shotgun to get past.

02:29:27.260 --> 02:29:33.260
Jumping Mag 7, that's genuinely his plan, it doesn't work out.

02:29:33.260 --> 02:29:40.260
Now that brings it down, Flamesy, sure able to find one with the combination of the shrapnel of his HE.

02:29:40.260 --> 02:29:43.260
Wasn't far off was it, the spout from now, it's nearly connecting.

02:29:43.260 --> 02:29:47.260
I think you've got the util advantage, you've got the weapon advantage, you've got this banana control.

02:29:47.260 --> 02:29:51.260
You could just group up for a B finish, smoke CT, smoke coffins, get some noise in the site.

02:29:51.260 --> 02:29:53.900
Mezzie and Mezzie have nothing to block with. No flash to set themselves up.

02:29:53.900 --> 02:29:57.120
Rocks is gambling. He's coming over as well. He knows they won't be able to hack it on

02:29:57.120 --> 02:30:04.700
their own with the weapons they've got equipped. Taking their time. Flamesy, Flamesy, burns

02:30:04.700 --> 02:30:09.940
down heavy, tucked on the new box, but easy headshots, easy pickings, looking set to

02:30:09.940 --> 02:30:16.500
succeed, nothing going right for Vitality. Quad killing the feed from Nerds.

02:30:16.500 --> 02:30:21.840
So we win a one versus four, he'll give it a go.

02:30:21.840 --> 02:30:26.820
The French fair mass in his hands, and two, countering at the back of dark position.

02:30:26.820 --> 02:30:29.020
They don't have any idea he's here.

02:30:29.020 --> 02:30:35.020
He's able to get this far forward and surely go for something.

02:30:35.020 --> 02:30:36.020
Nothing!

02:30:36.020 --> 02:30:37.020
Nothing!

02:30:37.020 --> 02:30:38.100
Heavy God nails their headshot.

02:30:38.100 --> 02:30:41.700
One away from a series streak being broken.

02:30:41.700 --> 02:30:42.700
What was it, 17?

02:30:42.700 --> 02:30:44.340
17, yeah, but it's not only that.

02:30:44.340 --> 02:30:49.620
going down the lower bracket in this group where you are going to have a spirit aura falcons,

02:30:49.620 --> 02:30:55.060
right? It's it's not going to get any easier from me going forward and the count that shot from there.

02:30:55.060 --> 02:31:02.100
It's just trying to go to the last time that they lost to zero. That's a good question. The last

02:31:02.100 --> 02:31:08.340
time that Vitality lost a series to zero was to Falcons at Blast Rivals. Right, right.

02:31:08.340 --> 02:31:16.340
That was back in November of last year.

02:31:16.340 --> 02:31:22.740
So to defend their honour, Vitality must convert with 4 pistols and a measly MP9.

02:31:22.740 --> 02:31:25.220
Rob's restraint with his smoker.

02:31:25.220 --> 02:31:26.220
You gotta charge it in.

02:31:26.220 --> 02:31:28.220
Have you got fancies as chances?

02:31:28.220 --> 02:31:31.460
Well, respect the block.

02:31:31.460 --> 02:31:50.600
The options are so limited for vitality in this round.

02:31:50.600 --> 02:31:52.180
on the uh...

02:31:52.180 --> 02:31:53.900
bracket control

02:31:53.900 --> 02:32:00.900
seized loudly

02:32:05.480 --> 02:32:08.920
here's that go flamesy good onto nerds and doesn't see anything else on the

02:32:08.920 --> 02:32:11.540
follow-up so they're on high alert on the A side of the map

02:32:11.540 --> 02:32:13.620
so much space recite centric

02:32:13.620 --> 02:32:20.380
he just walks around this long side they've still got some smokes to use

02:32:20.380 --> 02:32:22.380
30 seconds.

02:32:50.380 --> 02:32:54.000
of an issue for TAC to get out of the gun here but everyone else should be looking good.

02:32:54.000 --> 02:32:58.620
So Vitality have been able to win another one of those, sure, just staying totter up on that

02:32:58.620 --> 02:33:05.260
side, that opening kill, G2 walking into the pistol stack on the side and okay, can

02:33:05.260 --> 02:33:07.940
they force us to overtime?

02:33:07.940 --> 02:33:09.340
Can Vitality pull this one out?

02:33:09.340 --> 02:33:10.740
Can they keep the streak alive?

02:33:10.740 --> 02:33:16.940
Can they keep play of hopes alive with this victory?

02:33:16.940 --> 02:33:30.900
Oh flamesy they want him close than he thinks yeah that's so too tough to broom they're on

02:33:30.900 --> 02:33:41.660
top of each other solid made connection that's on 59 is this flash yeah on flamesy's

02:33:41.660 --> 02:33:46.960
It's cool. It's four in banana screen throws it out flames. He has a lot of tips away

02:33:48.480 --> 02:33:56.080
Just around the corner in time only such a cat and mouse game has been honest versus the likes of apex and flamesy

02:33:56.340 --> 02:34:00.320
As he's cheated over to make this a three strong defense. I won the long side with the AWP

02:34:02.460 --> 02:34:05.920
Rob's not playing balcony not playing pit more sight-centric from him

02:34:11.660 --> 02:34:13.660
Saewoo's still on the line.

02:34:15.660 --> 02:34:17.660
That's a perfectly placed molotov.

02:34:17.660 --> 02:34:20.660
Denies Saewoo the angle he was hoping for.

02:34:20.660 --> 02:34:24.660
Incendiary in response buys time for the library rotation.

02:34:24.660 --> 02:34:27.660
35 seconds for G2 to try and find this finish.

02:34:27.660 --> 02:34:31.660
Heavy got to arrive through the apartment, Matt is forging a path of the long side.

02:34:32.660 --> 02:34:35.660
Smoke Moto and go... go Saewoo!

02:34:35.660 --> 02:34:37.660
Bites his time, ensures the kill.

02:34:37.660 --> 02:34:40.660
Matt is down, an opening kill for vitality, trying to ensure overtime.

02:34:40.660 --> 02:34:47.420
Looking good now. There's a side with the whole squad on the right place at the right time to take us to overtime

02:34:47.420 --> 02:34:51.940
Okay, that's impressive to bring that back without situation considering the type of buys again

02:34:51.940 --> 02:34:56.820
I understand this isn't a map for G2 not only that they have a stand-in, but we're living in the match right now

02:34:56.820 --> 02:35:02.420
But I tell you down a map they got blown out on Mirage and now we are all tied up going into OT

02:35:02.420 --> 02:35:04.920
So apex gets to breathe a sigh of relief

02:35:04.920 --> 02:35:11.720
So we're really just making sure we had that one dead to rights before pulling the trigger

02:35:11.720 --> 02:35:14.880
and even setting the team up with the flash in the short side so they can start stripping

02:35:14.880 --> 02:35:16.280
them limb from limb.

02:35:16.280 --> 02:35:21.160
But finding that energy, that attitude required, can they push us to dust too?

02:35:21.160 --> 02:35:23.440
You're going to start running out of ideas, G2.

02:35:23.440 --> 02:35:26.800
The fact that you were so close, you should have put him away.

02:35:26.800 --> 02:35:31.800
broken buys in back-to-back rounds and here you are. Reset.

02:35:37.800 --> 02:35:42.800
Nerds has been doing a good job. He's turned his game completely around.

02:35:48.800 --> 02:35:52.800
Lurk smoked run by Nerds in the front of B site.

02:35:52.800 --> 02:35:57.080
Robs in the apartments has got a deal with heavy god. They've had quite the standoff through our inferno

02:36:00.200 --> 02:36:02.200
Well, I hear

02:36:02.680 --> 02:36:07.680
Coffee and that's fine. I think he's trying to aim at flames. He's her fumbling around there in that front lurk smoke

02:36:08.200 --> 02:36:10.200
So I confirmed damage done

02:36:10.960 --> 02:36:13.700
Have you got on Robs perhaps? Yeah, this robs position

02:36:14.600 --> 02:36:18.400
Obviously, there is a apartment's gap apex is there to consider that oh

02:36:18.400 --> 02:36:23.360
And now Robs can play forward and say that's it. So that's going to liberate a rotation.

02:36:23.360 --> 02:36:24.360
Messi's on the way.

02:36:24.360 --> 02:36:27.400
Yeah, already. He gets the kill and just dips.

02:36:27.400 --> 02:36:28.400
They have to go.

02:36:28.400 --> 02:36:33.000
They come. Zywoo, supported by Flamesee, holding them at the door, forced away by the flashbangs.

02:36:33.000 --> 02:36:37.400
They will push through, re-emerging to his demise. Now Zywoo at the back of site.

02:36:37.400 --> 02:36:39.800
Flamesee trying to draw their attention. Just going for the plant.

02:36:39.800 --> 02:36:43.000
And I expect Zywoo here. Matt is going to try and chase him down.

02:36:43.000 --> 02:36:46.600
They're going to need a nose scope. They're going to need a Flamesee from the ruin side.

02:36:46.600 --> 02:36:51.400
catches Mattis with his M4A4 and now Nertz unable to get the clutch started.

02:36:51.400 --> 02:36:53.600
Messi, that kill through the smoke.

02:36:53.600 --> 02:36:59.300
It was like a fadeaway, like he started to kind of leave and had a stray bullet find the headshot.

02:36:59.300 --> 02:37:02.600
And the crazy part about it is as soon as that kill comes out, oh, okay, it's the lurker.

02:37:02.600 --> 02:37:04.100
We know it's not going to be here, right?

02:37:04.100 --> 02:37:07.300
So immediately pivoting over to Wards B, it's all the information they need.

02:37:08.200 --> 02:37:11.400
And then Zywoo, he could have tried to contribute there during that skirmish

02:37:11.400 --> 02:37:14.300
when Messi comes out says, now I'm going to play to deny this plant,

02:37:14.300 --> 02:37:16.000
secure the round, they're very well done.

02:37:16.600 --> 02:37:29.080
So we'll use his OT number one tactical timer. We'll see if he gets another.

02:37:31.720 --> 02:37:36.040
We're discussing this as a free swing of the king, right? You can play out of the

02:37:36.040 --> 02:37:40.040
box counter strike. I feel like that's what you're seeing out of nerds in

02:37:40.040 --> 02:37:42.760
banana, right? He feels like he has nothing to lose. That's why he's so

02:37:42.760 --> 02:37:45.760
confident in all of his decision-making. Happy to take some of those risks and

02:37:45.760 --> 02:37:49.880
they've been paying off, you bang on, he has turned his game around, I swear it was one

02:37:49.880 --> 02:37:51.520
and seven at a certain point, right?

02:37:51.520 --> 02:37:57.280
In fact, he is sitting at the top of the table alongside of Mattis, it's Zywin Flamesey

02:37:57.280 --> 02:37:58.280
for Vitality.

02:37:58.280 --> 02:38:02.120
He would have talked about how Flamesey is, well, his opening joules got six and zero.

02:38:02.120 --> 02:38:03.120
He's making up for apex.

02:38:03.120 --> 02:38:04.120
Yeah, yeah.

02:38:04.120 --> 02:38:15.480
Last round of regulation, he got that opening that kind of changed the tide of battle.

02:38:15.480 --> 02:38:17.040
the tempo, at least from the pressure.

02:38:17.040 --> 02:38:21.600
Okay, he's spotted on towards the barrel's position and re-swinged from Xayah, with this

02:38:21.600 --> 02:38:22.600
hit.

02:38:22.600 --> 02:38:23.600
Bicious!

02:38:23.600 --> 02:38:24.600
He still manages to best nerds!

02:38:24.600 --> 02:38:28.480
Tacked during the flashbang dance, vision restored but now fades to black, flames he

02:38:28.480 --> 02:38:29.720
finds it.

02:38:29.720 --> 02:38:32.640
It's Matisse getting active, heavy-god on the short side as well, trying to make

02:38:32.640 --> 02:38:33.640
a play.

02:38:33.640 --> 02:38:40.240
Mezzie, ready to receive it, it's off, fangirl catches, Matisse hugging the wall.

02:38:40.240 --> 02:38:45.080
Looking set to collect two consecutive rounds now on the CT side of overtime.

02:38:45.080 --> 02:38:47.940
This time it's apex is the jerker soon if heavy god finds robs

02:38:47.940 --> 02:38:53.260
He might not be ready for the player in back pit and I can understand why you would start making these moves if you vitality

02:38:53.700 --> 02:38:56.860
Robs has been having a tough go with things but not this time jumps up

02:38:57.500 --> 02:38:59.160
And all the wings

02:38:59.160 --> 02:39:05.080
He's returned himself double digits there is one more and they'll have the clean sweep at the first half of OT

02:39:05.080 --> 02:39:08.360
Flying AK headshot of course everyone's favorite

02:39:11.600 --> 02:39:13.600
I'm really kind of

02:39:13.600 --> 02:39:17.320
The Muse, the guy who is sticking around there.

02:39:17.320 --> 02:39:21.080
I thought, you know, when you get spotted by the boards, that's an insta-death, but he's stuck around.

02:39:21.080 --> 02:39:24.120
I think a part of it is due to kind of doing the same thing.

02:39:24.120 --> 02:39:30.740
Then, this isn't a blanket case, but there's a disrespect of certain protocols or responses.

02:39:30.740 --> 02:39:31.740
Oh, there's disrespect.

02:39:31.740 --> 02:39:35.540
Oh, my God! He's spotted them, but they're sprayed down by mantis.

02:39:35.540 --> 02:39:40.820
They tried to go for a pace change, and now it's actually some fires accelerating in towards the A site.

02:39:40.820 --> 02:39:45.280
robs on the other side of that smoke and he's flamesy the Joker hanging out in the

02:39:45.280 --> 02:39:50.680
apartment to go find the third double spray heavy-god traits he whipped into

02:39:50.680 --> 02:39:53.800
that third right insane alright well they're gonna have to give this retake

02:39:53.800 --> 02:39:57.400
a go bomb yet to go down sure but look at the amount of nades left over

02:39:57.400 --> 02:40:03.280
between these three to hold them at bay tackle punch it in safe plant made in

02:40:03.280 --> 02:40:08.360
the Molly for his troubles well he's softened up but Rob's he's gonna

02:40:08.360 --> 02:40:13.720
It doesn't clear this and it's roms. It's roms. Of course. He does. He's looking in the right direction at least

02:40:14.720 --> 02:40:20.320
Let's go down to nerds in that powerful angle. So G2 will find something before the swap of the sides

02:40:21.560 --> 02:40:26.040
Well, it's mainly been the pistols that have helped out G2 in the start of all these house besides

02:40:26.440 --> 02:40:29.760
The one we just witnessed right about how they got their first there

02:40:29.760 --> 02:40:35.080
So now that both teams get in the start fully fledged with the rifles will see how G2 fair

02:40:35.320 --> 02:40:37.880
It looks very clunky there doesn't it coming out of the smoke

02:40:38.360 --> 02:40:43.360
Hattus does a great job to find that double opening and help secure this round.

02:40:54.360 --> 02:40:57.360
I hope it looks like in place, the past left to respect that.

02:40:59.360 --> 02:41:01.360
Did you miss the first half?

02:41:02.360 --> 02:41:06.360
Oh, no it's half more blocks. Mezzy full flash gets it.

02:41:08.360 --> 02:41:14.480
I was going to say that there was so much nade damage done to the likes of, oh, all the timing, the timing.

02:41:14.480 --> 02:41:16.600
Tantalizing the time robs.

02:41:16.600 --> 02:41:17.600
Yeah, he is tech.

02:41:18.440 --> 02:41:21.240
Yes, he does. Nails it as well on the rotation.

02:41:21.240 --> 02:41:23.480
Surprise has to stay towards A now.

02:41:24.680 --> 02:41:28.960
But he also knows robs is in arch and so doesn't really want to try and clear him with an AWP.

02:41:28.960 --> 02:41:34.920
So, so much pressure onto heavy god who's just had his whereabouts revealed by throwing out that smoke grenade.

02:41:34.920 --> 02:41:36.440
Call that 15.

02:41:38.360 --> 02:41:42.680
You can understand what he was going for there. A little too deep though. They just managed to get through it.

02:41:42.680 --> 02:41:47.000
I cannot believe, considering the financial situation so late in the game,

02:41:47.640 --> 02:41:50.200
that Vitality have been able to bring this back. Yeah.

02:41:51.240 --> 02:41:55.240
Mag 7, 5-7. It's just a full pistol round. Full pistol round.

02:41:55.240 --> 02:41:58.680
Maybe there was maybe there was an MP9 in there. Yeah, I think one. You're thinking right.

02:41:58.680 --> 02:42:03.400
There's four pistols and an SMG. But all in all, it's having your economy

02:42:03.960 --> 02:42:06.920
broken that late and it was back and forth between both the teams. That's why when I think it

02:42:06.920 --> 02:42:09.880
I think it was 10-10 or 10-11 something like that, I'm saying, this is for the game.

02:42:09.880 --> 02:42:12.520
I thought the G2 would have enough.

02:42:12.520 --> 02:42:15.520
Again, I'm just basing this off of what's happening right now.

02:42:15.520 --> 02:42:18.560
I'm not taking into the context of all the standing or all these factors.

02:42:18.560 --> 02:42:23.360
I just thought, hey, they've done enough to defeat Vitality 2-0.

02:42:23.360 --> 02:42:27.400
But just one more now for the World Number 1s to push this to map number 3.

02:42:27.400 --> 02:42:39.960
And you'd prefer this type of match now? Assuming you win. Then you would in a playoff game

02:42:39.960 --> 02:42:44.040
or the seeding game is the perfect time to have a game like this. But this isn't the

02:42:44.040 --> 02:42:55.720
seeding game. This is one match too early. They can hear heavy god there calling out,

02:42:55.720 --> 02:43:00.640
get the open roto B. See they wanted a heavier row they wanted a bit more of a

02:43:00.640 --> 02:43:04.640
gamble stuck off the back of that but okay vitality you pulled yourself out of

02:43:04.640 --> 02:43:10.840
the sludge you get it done right here right now we have more rounds of play

02:43:15.560 --> 02:43:23.040
now it's gonna be trying to be disruptive early very disruptive

02:43:23.040 --> 02:43:27.640
Look at this, off of the flash trying to chase Mezzie down on the barrel's position, but Mezzie prevails

02:43:28.340 --> 02:43:32.240
Heavy nade damage inflicted 80 from the single $300 grenade

02:43:32.540 --> 02:43:34.540
Mattis picks up another one where that came from

02:43:36.340 --> 02:43:41.740
Oh, perfect. Ooh, from Apex, but not able to pull the trigger in time, Mattis just far too quick

02:43:42.240 --> 02:43:43.340
So that's a clawback

02:43:44.140 --> 02:43:47.740
An important one when you find yourself staring down that point

02:43:51.140 --> 02:43:52.040
Into the auth here

02:43:52.040 --> 02:43:54.040
Yeah, some pious

02:43:54.880 --> 02:43:57.220
We're calling the shots and he's been hitting them too. Oh

02:43:57.800 --> 02:43:59.480
He'll hit it again

02:43:59.480 --> 02:44:04.320
Nails it on to Rob flames. He finds him exposed on the pillar. You know heavy. God has to be here somewhere

02:44:04.320 --> 02:44:08.000
Yeah, it has to be the a anchor and tag forced to be the rotator

02:44:08.000 --> 02:44:13.320
It's it's such a high-pressure role for someone standing in and he's probably been told all this stuff, right?

02:44:13.320 --> 02:44:17.280
He's oh, yeah, and I wrote to hear do this do that was he'd love to just play with his intuition

02:44:17.280 --> 02:44:19.280
But they got to respect the elders in this one

02:44:19.280 --> 02:44:24.640
Looking for the eighth finish 27 seconds on the clock flames. He is going to come in through apartments as I work

02:44:25.640 --> 02:44:28.080
And messy to come up the short side now

02:44:28.080 --> 02:44:31.960
So I will has the Molly can use that pit at least that clears that so it's been used long

02:44:32.400 --> 02:44:34.400
Have you got to win this still?

02:44:35.000 --> 02:44:36.760
Force him out

02:44:36.760 --> 02:44:42.720
Yeah, yep, yep beautiful Molotov completely seals the deal and that should secure it

02:44:42.720 --> 02:44:51.720
Third map required, Dust2 gonna be seeing action between G2 and Vitality despite the opportunity for the 2-0 as you've discussed.

02:44:51.720 --> 02:44:54.720
We're getting to see the pedigree of Vitality here.

02:44:54.720 --> 02:44:59.720
Yeah, you blew them out on map number one short. You had them right where you wanted them here on map number two, but you're going to Dust2.

02:44:59.720 --> 02:45:03.720
Their home turf, unless matters, can clutch out the 1v3. The first is being found.

02:45:03.720 --> 02:45:06.720
I don't know who's got him booked here on the backstab.

02:45:06.720 --> 02:45:12.120
and a clean tap back at the skull we will need free vitality showing that they

02:45:12.120 --> 02:45:16.640
can in the face of adversity knuckle down and dig themselves out of trouble it

02:45:16.640 --> 02:45:19.800
looked like the lower bracket was calling their name G2 they'll consider

02:45:19.800 --> 02:45:24.600
that a bit of a fumble close but no cigar for the 2-0 it will be decided

02:45:24.600 --> 02:45:28.280
from the third and deciding map just to

02:46:06.720 --> 02:46:12.220
They've pushed up long and they're in the long side of toilets but they can't do anything

02:46:12.220 --> 02:46:15.740
about stopping gentlemates from actually getting on the bomb site here through bathrooms.

02:46:15.740 --> 02:46:20.260
And they know that Long is definitely exposed and Ren Tzu, that's a really good Molly coming

02:46:20.260 --> 02:46:21.800
through to block him off.

02:46:21.800 --> 02:46:25.540
Drop all that managed to get one but Mopos are running down with the tech nine of fresh

02:46:25.540 --> 02:46:28.940
respoke into a green bin as well.

02:46:28.940 --> 02:46:33.220
And that can as a kind of completely locked out of this.

02:46:33.220 --> 02:46:35.540
You know that Ren Tzu was toward Long earlier.

02:46:35.540 --> 02:46:38.860
not going to turn to position Rento. He needs to find impact from somewhere, but it's going

02:46:38.860 --> 02:46:44.420
to have to be, you know, very difficult shots to be hit. There's the shadow. He sees Fiji

02:46:44.420 --> 02:46:47.620
and gets off the angle at exactly the wrong time. HG could do some damage. They're all

02:46:47.620 --> 02:46:52.020
trying to fight into more of that Greenbin position, and it helps out Davideus to

02:46:52.020 --> 02:46:57.340
get to. Shea will find Alex, Martinez last alive. Where is that bomb defuse? Rento's

02:46:57.340 --> 02:47:02.620
got a kit. He needs to get on it ASAP. I think he's on it. He is on it, and

02:47:02.620 --> 02:47:05.260
Martinets will go down. They just about get away with it.

02:47:05.260 --> 02:47:09.900
Oh, only just. I was even a little bit nervy there what could have been had

02:47:09.900 --> 02:47:14.100
Martinets hit that shot. I'm not even sure if it was on the kit carrier. If it was,

02:47:14.100 --> 02:47:18.180
I think that wins them the round. Maybe we get to see it back in the replay

02:47:18.180 --> 02:47:23.060
here. Big retake coming through from Red Cannons. Just waited for that perfect

02:47:23.060 --> 02:47:26.380
opportunity to pass the Flurry of Fraggs. It was super uncomfortable for

02:47:26.380 --> 02:47:29.420
gentlemates. That's why they decided to try and fight forward in the dying

02:47:29.420 --> 02:47:35.660
stages of that retake or I guess post plan from their perspective doesn't work

02:47:35.660 --> 02:47:39.220
out for them which means a half-buy in this next round it was pretty rough

02:47:39.220 --> 02:47:42.700
there for rengo as well because as he's holding that angle he turns around to

02:47:42.700 --> 02:47:45.140
give his teammate an incendiary that's when the P comes through but more on that

02:47:45.140 --> 02:47:48.160
later because we ready go fast exit against the speed bombsite Mopos so for

02:47:48.160 --> 02:47:51.620
advanced already will find a kill in a big dink on Davideus as well

02:47:51.620 --> 02:47:56.260
oh HHP now might have to take a gamble Davideus rather than playing a

02:47:56.260 --> 02:48:03.160
normal default position anchoring that B bomb site. Again there's only a block on

02:48:03.160 --> 02:48:08.940
Alex but other threats in the round available.

02:48:08.940 --> 02:48:12.620
That was already up toward divider. Top is gonna have a little bit of a glance

02:48:12.620 --> 02:48:17.700
towards short and they're gonna see it's pretty much clear. I'm gonna shift over

02:48:17.700 --> 02:48:22.020
toward long. Ren2 will be the main man in task with this. He does have

02:48:22.020 --> 02:48:24.860
help coming through there with that information that short is clear. They're

02:48:24.860 --> 02:48:30.080
We're gonna give a lot of reinforcements onto this A-bomb site, it's an immediate rotation

02:48:30.080 --> 02:48:31.080
for all three.

02:48:31.080 --> 02:48:32.780
They're actually gonna push up.

02:48:32.780 --> 02:48:40.460
That drop seems to have an idea, but maybe not gonna realize how far forward they are.

02:48:40.460 --> 02:48:44.600
It shouldn't really be a massive problem with mostly pistols in play, and it's really

02:48:44.600 --> 02:48:49.040
well done there from Red Cannons doing exactly what they'd kind of set themselves up for,

02:48:49.040 --> 02:48:51.820
which wasn't to fight for the players when they were in long, or fight the players

02:48:51.820 --> 02:48:56.100
when they're in long but instead deal with them once they'd come through that choke point into the bomb site

02:48:56.100 --> 02:49:02.420
and it's just a bloodbath as they slaughter the gentlemaids players on entry and do get themselves up five once

02:49:02.420 --> 02:49:07.420
so the only blip on the radar for red cannons here on overpass so far was that hard anti-eco round they'd lost

02:49:07.420 --> 02:49:10.920
they've been really good since then as they start to tear ahead on the decider

02:49:13.840 --> 02:49:19.300
You know what the greatest teams in the world are the best at doing winning with their beer even see game by

02:49:19.300 --> 02:49:22.420
Vitality have found a way to take him G2 to map 3, would you believe it?

02:49:22.920 --> 02:49:25.740
Oh, it looked like G2 had that one in the bag

02:49:25.740 --> 02:49:30.820
I couldn't believe it, Trav, because it was on the T side of Inferno where they were giving vitality so many problems

02:49:30.820 --> 02:49:34.620
That was the half of the map, they won one out of nine rounds against Gentlemates yesterday

02:49:35.180 --> 02:49:37.180
This shows you in Counter-Strike

02:49:37.580 --> 02:49:39.580
Nothing is a guarantee

02:49:39.760 --> 02:49:41.760
Not even vitality

02:49:41.760 --> 02:49:43.760
the

02:49:43.760 --> 02:49:47.400
made untoward carries that she does a lot more damage than maybe he was ready for

02:49:47.400 --> 02:49:51.240
explodes right in front of his face

02:49:51.240 --> 02:49:56.520
there is a look towards short but they do have control of that position and

02:49:56.520 --> 02:50:01.920
unknown control opposes waiting on that close right angle as the death would

02:50:01.920 --> 02:50:03.920
have looked

02:50:03.920 --> 02:50:08.440
but we'll make some noise now here comes the push south was gonna give it

02:50:08.440 --> 02:50:12.220
look might be creeping in a little bit unexpectedly here there's plenty of

02:50:12.220 --> 02:50:15.880
counter utility coming through but he's ahead of that molotov and up onto the

02:50:15.880 --> 02:50:19.840
pillar already this is a lot of progress that maybe red can has a lot of

02:50:19.840 --> 02:50:22.360
wear of but they aren't going too aggressive they're waiting for it that

02:50:22.360 --> 02:50:26.880
smoke to fade and waiting to see if it exposes agentle makes player when comes

02:50:26.880 --> 02:50:30.360
a group up carries still head down on barrels and that is a bait set up

02:50:30.360 --> 02:50:33.480
that could work very nicely he eventually gets his one but he needs more and

02:50:33.480 --> 02:50:38.000
it's only the one my pause will get that trade 3v3 good name to break

02:50:38.000 --> 02:50:42.400
that smoker from the middle side. They're all rotations now coming in. Jop tries to make

02:50:42.400 --> 02:50:46.800
a move by jumping on the corner of default. The Rento's not been activated yet from CT.

02:50:46.800 --> 02:50:50.200
It allows the bomb plant to come through for gentlemates.

02:50:50.200 --> 02:50:59.120
They've actually done really well to navigate their way past that sticky situation. Now

02:50:59.120 --> 02:51:02.120
it's going to be pressure on Red Cannotia for the retake. They've been pretty damn

02:51:02.120 --> 02:51:04.720
good in these situations throughout the map so far and they will get the first

02:51:04.720 --> 02:51:25.720
I'm not sure how they've done that. I mean there are so many good setups there for red

02:51:25.720 --> 02:51:30.220
The cannons didn't overpeak as I was saying when those smokes were up around Pillar, little

02:51:30.220 --> 02:51:37.760
mates were very stalled behind those before they went for their site attack.

02:51:37.760 --> 02:51:43.160
Lots of good lines were being held by the CT side, but Coward's only getting one from

02:51:43.160 --> 02:51:49.200
his bait set up in toward the barrels, head down popped it up, could have been two

02:51:49.200 --> 02:51:52.260
if it was two, could have completely changed the round, he would have been alive to

02:51:52.260 --> 02:51:55.200
maybe deal with the monster player.

02:51:55.200 --> 02:51:56.200
to be.

02:51:56.200 --> 02:52:00.200
It feels like that was the power position that had to yield some big results for Red Canada.

02:52:00.200 --> 02:52:02.200
There's going to be any chance that you highlight.

02:52:02.200 --> 02:52:06.040
And I really like from Gentlemace that they don't start to panic in that situation where

02:52:06.040 --> 02:52:10.000
they kind of had to pause when they were in a pretty uncomfortable position, but they

02:52:10.000 --> 02:52:11.000
hold their nerve.

02:52:11.000 --> 02:52:12.960
They all kind of cross cover one another really nicely.

02:52:12.960 --> 02:52:15.520
Mop-Oz able to adjust their fadavides.

02:52:15.520 --> 02:52:17.960
I thought he would have been caught off for sure there from the chit-chit-chilean

02:52:17.960 --> 02:52:22.040
looking to make a spicy push in the early stage of the round, but not going to

02:52:22.040 --> 02:52:23.880
work out for him.

02:52:23.880 --> 02:52:26.720
blood drawn here by gentle mates as they look to string consecutive rounds

02:52:26.720 --> 02:52:30.480
together for the first time here on the third map.

02:52:31.720 --> 02:52:39.680
And a good number on T, even if it's four that could very well be enough.

02:52:39.680 --> 02:52:44.280
Boost on defaults, it's also four would be no more than they've gotten on average

02:52:44.280 --> 02:52:48.800
previously. Renju playing Pillay's got it a shot here, he's been whipping a lot

02:52:48.800 --> 02:52:52.800
in this map so far, that's another lad one or painful mix up for it but it

02:52:52.800 --> 02:52:56.320
means he's exposed to short as he falls back. Now drops in a very tough position.

02:52:56.320 --> 02:52:59.840
Does get one but he needs one more and it's not gonna happen. Alex will get to

02:52:59.840 --> 02:53:06.240
take him out and Shay is already on the retreat. Ah it's such a frustrating one

02:53:06.240 --> 02:53:10.560
for Red Cannons if they had Rento online. Look he's a rookie, he's playing his first

02:53:10.560 --> 02:53:16.680
ever S2 event from Red Cannons Academy. He debuted on HLTV this year but he's

02:53:16.680 --> 02:53:21.960
missing way too many critical shots at the moment. He seems to be a volatile

02:53:21.960 --> 02:53:28.700
Orpa who likes to live fast and die young and then sometimes find some like ridiculous returns and rounds where he makes something out of nothing

02:53:28.700 --> 02:53:34.360
But he's really struggling to just hit the shots that he needs to be nothing very stable about him so far with his

02:53:34.360 --> 02:53:38.740
Orping here on overpass and that certainly has made matters quite difficult for red Cannons

02:53:39.180 --> 02:53:43.500
He brings that X factor, which is I think what red Cannons felt like they lacked with history

02:53:43.500 --> 02:53:47.260
But he was a little bit more of that stable or to kind of hit the shots required

02:53:47.400 --> 02:53:49.400
So it's all about that trade off

02:53:49.400 --> 02:53:55.020
and it's where that lack of experience could really be difficult for him to

02:53:55.020 --> 02:53:58.980
overcome these hurdles and these frustrations. In the third map right

02:53:58.980 --> 02:54:01.820
there's no chance to reset after overpass and come back in the next

02:54:01.820 --> 02:54:05.060
series or the next map. It's right here right now. This is where he needs the

02:54:05.060 --> 02:54:10.500
experience on the team to just try and prop him up and get his head right.

02:54:11.620 --> 02:54:17.520
Indeed lots of experience around him from many other South American

02:54:17.520 --> 02:54:22.140
organization some permanently of course on the red cannons team some

02:54:22.140 --> 02:54:28.020
temporarily unloaned from imperial and pain with cow ears and shea

02:54:30.380 --> 02:54:34.280
I'll try and find a way to win around like this you'd think at this point

02:54:34.280 --> 02:54:40.320
otherwise until next we write with them at 5.4 5.7 close range long bottom

02:54:40.320 --> 02:54:46.200
archery properly but very close range always so possible to die in one click

02:54:46.200 --> 02:54:52.760
to that pistol. Double flank through con. Ren 2. We'll try and bait for Shea. Shea has been seen,

02:54:52.760 --> 02:54:57.240
but Southall goes down. So they have wrestled a man advantage. They now know there's at least

02:54:57.240 --> 02:55:02.600
one on the flank and the M4 that had been saved is in that position. It's a really awkwardly

02:55:02.600 --> 02:55:06.920
poised round here right now. Almost for both teams, this big double flank. I mean, gentlemates

02:55:06.920 --> 02:55:11.000
have got some control over towards Long with two players. It's tough for Mopos to join up with

02:55:11.000 --> 02:55:14.760
them though because the door here is closed. So you then have to give up the audio cue

02:55:14.760 --> 02:55:20.000
If you was going to try and connect the dots and join with his teammates time starts dwindle and general mates

02:55:20.000 --> 02:55:23.520
I've got to make some decisions rent is just going to try and avoid the jewel there that makes a lot of sense

02:55:23.520 --> 02:55:28.280
Like that's some really good decision-making there from rent to having to draw Mopos all the way out now

02:55:28.280 --> 02:55:30.280
He's got to set up here with the teammate

02:55:30.480 --> 02:55:33.760
Himself and Shay in position and that will enable the trade

02:55:34.960 --> 02:55:36.960
Place it matches set your starting point

02:55:37.160 --> 02:55:43.560
Basic rating measures your impact as you climb the soft elo reset narrows the gap between the highest elo players and the rest

02:55:43.560 --> 02:55:47.960
of level 10. Your starting point will be based on your recent ELO inactivity. We're introducing

02:55:47.960 --> 02:55:52.760
Facet Rating so you can see exactly how much you stack up against others at your level.

02:55:52.760 --> 02:55:56.760
Facet Rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning

02:55:56.760 --> 02:56:02.840
the match, taking into account the full situation. Season 8 launches April 22nd.

02:56:02.840 --> 02:56:04.840
Good luck, and have fun!

02:56:32.840 --> 02:56:34.840
ff

02:56:37.420 --> 02:56:39.420
He's very good

02:56:39.460 --> 02:56:41.460
He's more good

02:56:41.460 --> 02:56:42.960
You can pick on me then

02:56:43.800 --> 02:56:45.800
Yeah it's right

02:56:45.800 --> 02:56:47.800
I'm in a T-Shirt

02:56:47.840 --> 02:56:49.680
Okay, you

02:56:49.680 --> 02:56:51.840
Be careful

02:56:51.840 --> 02:56:53.840
You flashed the bullet

02:56:53.840 --> 02:56:55.840
Nice flashed the bullet

02:56:55.840 --> 02:56:57.840
What?

02:56:57.840 --> 02:56:59.840
Well, he's B.B.

02:56:59.840 --> 02:57:00.340
Yeah.

02:57:01.960 --> 02:57:02.460
Nice.

02:57:02.460 --> 02:57:02.960
One dead.

02:57:02.960 --> 02:57:04.260
Matthew will go for him, just chill.

02:57:04.260 --> 02:57:04.760
Yeah.

02:57:07.840 --> 02:57:08.660
He'll be down there.

02:57:08.660 --> 02:57:09.660
Nice!

02:57:09.660 --> 02:57:10.160
Nice boys!

02:57:10.160 --> 02:57:10.660
Okay, okay, okay.

02:57:10.660 --> 02:57:11.560
I'm gonna flash short.

02:57:11.560 --> 02:57:12.260
Flash short.

02:57:12.260 --> 02:57:13.260
I got it done.

02:57:13.260 --> 02:57:14.260
How long?

02:57:14.260 --> 02:57:15.260
He wanted to go!

02:57:15.260 --> 02:57:16.260
I got a shot, I got a shot.

02:57:16.260 --> 02:57:17.260
Flashing shots!

02:57:17.260 --> 02:57:17.760
Flash.

02:57:19.960 --> 02:57:20.460
S.O.I.

02:57:20.460 --> 02:57:21.260
Delapsed!

02:57:21.260 --> 02:57:21.760
Nice boys!

02:57:21.760 --> 02:57:22.760
Nice!

02:57:22.760 --> 02:57:23.260
S.O.I.

02:57:23.260 --> 02:57:23.760
S.O.I.

02:57:23.760 --> 02:57:24.760
Nice boys!

02:57:24.760 --> 02:57:25.260
S.O.I.

02:57:25.260 --> 02:57:26.260
Let's keep going.

02:57:26.260 --> 02:57:26.760
Let's go.

02:57:26.760 --> 02:57:27.760
Pushing mid up.

02:57:27.760 --> 02:57:28.760
Nice, nice, nice!

02:57:28.760 --> 02:57:31.760
I don't have the smoke, he will be clouded

02:57:31.760 --> 02:57:33.760
I flash first, I go first

02:57:33.760 --> 02:57:34.760
Go

02:57:35.760 --> 02:57:36.760
Go, go, go

02:57:36.760 --> 02:57:38.760
That's a most likely mid-gown

02:57:38.760 --> 02:57:39.760
I flash

02:57:39.760 --> 02:57:40.760
Absolutely

02:57:40.760 --> 02:57:41.760
I flashed long

02:57:42.760 --> 02:57:43.760
I flashed one mid

02:57:43.760 --> 02:57:44.760
I flashed one

02:57:44.760 --> 02:57:45.760
I flashed one

02:57:45.760 --> 02:57:46.760
I have your middle boys

02:57:47.760 --> 02:57:48.760
He can't go short guys

02:57:48.760 --> 02:57:49.760
He can't be short

02:57:49.760 --> 02:57:50.760
I flashed smoke

02:57:50.760 --> 02:57:51.760
I'm low

02:57:51.760 --> 02:57:52.760
I can't be short

02:57:52.760 --> 02:57:53.760
I can't be short

02:57:54.760 --> 02:57:55.760
I cannot be short

02:57:55.760 --> 02:57:56.760
I lose as it

02:57:56.760 --> 02:57:57.760
I have it

02:57:57.760 --> 02:57:59.760
I smoke. I'm on HP.

02:58:01.760 --> 02:58:02.760
Stay side by the box.

02:58:02.760 --> 02:58:03.760
Stay behind the stream.

02:58:03.760 --> 02:58:04.760
I'm just gonna be short.

02:58:05.760 --> 02:58:06.760
I flash.

02:58:06.760 --> 02:58:07.760
Nice.

02:58:07.760 --> 02:58:08.760
Last close one.

02:58:08.760 --> 02:58:09.760
I watch smoke. Keep flashed.

02:58:10.760 --> 02:58:11.760
What is he doing?

02:58:11.760 --> 02:58:12.760
What is he doing?

02:58:12.760 --> 02:58:13.760
What is he doing?

02:58:13.760 --> 02:58:14.760
Nice guys.

02:58:14.760 --> 02:58:15.760
Let's get this one.

02:58:15.760 --> 02:58:16.760
He's here.

02:58:17.760 --> 02:58:18.760
Nice.

02:58:19.760 --> 02:58:20.760
Nice.

02:58:20.760 --> 02:58:22.760
We can go side by the front.

02:58:24.760 --> 02:58:26.760
I'm going behind him.

02:58:26.760 --> 02:58:28.760
Yeah

02:58:56.760 --> 02:59:01.500
Hey Future Pros, taking B side on Dust2 can be brutal.

02:59:01.500 --> 02:59:05.740
With this B door smoke however it might feel a bit easier.

02:59:05.740 --> 02:59:10.180
To throw the smoke get in line with this dot at the back of the stone pillar.

02:59:10.180 --> 02:59:16.180
Aim at the left tip of this ray of light.

02:59:16.180 --> 02:59:20.860
Then while holding mouse 1 and mouse 2 use your forward step jump throw bind to throw

02:59:20.860 --> 02:59:22.660
the smoke.

02:59:22.660 --> 02:59:27.940
will land in the doors and completely block off vision from anyone playing outside of the bebomb site.

02:59:39.460 --> 02:59:43.940
A warm welcome back. We're heading into the third and deciding map between Vitality and G2

02:59:43.940 --> 02:59:50.020
and today you have got nothing but bangers on the A3. We've got all of the big names here

02:59:50.020 --> 02:59:54.900
and re-a-digit near a winning their opening game and now locking horns throughout those two groups

02:59:54.900 --> 02:59:59.620
We're starting off the day here myself and chatty be going to be bringing you this third and deciding map channel

02:59:59.620 --> 03:00:02.740
What did they miss if they just tuned in? Well vitality's

03:00:03.380 --> 03:00:07.700
Map streak being broken. Yeah, that's one thing the series streak still alive and

03:00:08.260 --> 03:00:13.060
Getting to the playoffs in two straight sets for both squads available, but inferno

03:00:14.020 --> 03:00:19.860
G2 had them right where they wanted them the tail end of that game down the stretch money broken multiple times

03:00:19.860 --> 03:00:25.300
and the Vitality bullshit came out. We saw a Mag7 round where Apex went huge. We saw a full,

03:00:25.300 --> 03:00:33.140
essentially, pistol round with 5-7s, P250s to keep them in it. Just there you have the knife

03:00:33.140 --> 03:00:39.540
round. One by G2. Looks like there will be an update to start on the CT side of this one.

03:00:40.100 --> 03:00:43.220
And you've got some real issues now G2. You could have put them away. You could have got

03:00:43.220 --> 03:00:48.020
it done in two, but now you go into what is there? What was that number? 41 and four.

03:00:48.020 --> 03:00:50.020
4th.

03:00:50.020 --> 03:00:52.020
With this five man roster on vitality.

03:00:52.020 --> 03:00:54.020
They have 41 and four on dust.

03:00:54.020 --> 03:00:56.020
Well, speaking of 40s, 44

03:00:56.020 --> 03:00:58.020
frags for Mattis

03:00:58.020 --> 03:01:00.020
across the first two maps of this series.

03:01:00.020 --> 03:01:02.020
If he can keep that up, I think there's a

03:01:02.020 --> 03:01:04.020
conversation that they can at least, you know, be

03:01:04.020 --> 03:01:06.020
competitive here on the strong

03:01:06.020 --> 03:01:08.020
map for like strong guest map

03:01:08.020 --> 03:01:10.020
for vitality. I think a key for me has been

03:01:10.020 --> 03:01:12.020
some pious with some confidence in some of these

03:01:12.020 --> 03:01:14.020
options, and they're not options that had to

03:01:14.020 --> 03:01:16.020
head to Tairu, but they are where he's

03:01:16.020 --> 03:01:19.840
player is trying to scale and it's been nice to see because some players has found himself

03:01:19.840 --> 03:01:23.740
under a little bit of criticism. But right now, in lieu of Hunter being here, he's doing

03:01:23.740 --> 03:01:27.580
the in-game leading. So let's get this one underway. There's been lots of chopping and

03:01:27.580 --> 03:01:32.340
changing in the G2 camp as of late. About a month ago, Nerd's Malm's swap happened

03:01:32.340 --> 03:01:37.540
with Liquid. And Nerd's, well, he's been looking pretty damn solid today. It's this

03:01:37.540 --> 03:01:42.020
Let's attack G2 Aries, Academy player.

03:01:42.020 --> 03:01:44.140
We'll see what he can bring.

03:01:44.140 --> 03:01:45.140
Third map yesterday.

03:01:45.140 --> 03:01:46.140
That was overpass.

03:01:46.140 --> 03:01:47.140
It was damn good.

03:01:47.140 --> 03:01:52.340
Yeah, Rob's has two quiet maps, so will you be able to keep him quiet for three?

03:01:52.340 --> 03:01:53.340
Which is crazy.

03:01:53.340 --> 03:01:54.340
It was the MVP of the last tournament.

03:01:54.340 --> 03:01:55.340
Yeah.

03:01:55.340 --> 03:01:59.340
I know it was a big grand final performance, but still.

03:01:59.340 --> 03:02:04.180
No, it's supposed to be disruptive here.

03:02:04.180 --> 03:02:05.180
Flash back into low.

03:02:05.180 --> 03:02:06.180
I try to threaten.

03:02:06.180 --> 03:02:09.620
We're back away with his life.

03:02:09.620 --> 03:02:12.620
Pistols, another thing that's been going to YouTube's way.

03:02:12.620 --> 03:02:17.620
Oh, that's a big head shot from Goosh, his nerds.

03:02:17.620 --> 03:02:19.120
Yeah, that's not a fake one this time.

03:02:19.120 --> 03:02:21.120
Malar Marash.

03:02:21.120 --> 03:02:24.120
So, smoking two flashes, they've been able to force them back

03:02:24.120 --> 03:02:26.120
from the middoors off of short.

03:02:26.120 --> 03:02:27.620
Rob still in upper tunnels.

03:02:27.620 --> 03:02:29.620
This is two-man setup being highlighted by the Obstin right now.

03:02:29.620 --> 03:02:31.120
You've got Taktakt in.

03:02:31.120 --> 03:02:33.120
Have you got back a plat?

03:02:36.180 --> 03:02:44.480
I suppose. Perfect timing on the click. Yeah, nice to just span to a short throw with the

03:02:44.480 --> 03:02:51.400
USP and get a free kill on Tzaiwu. So, man advantage 4G2, flash out mid and away we go.

03:02:51.400 --> 03:02:58.200
Put this really be the fourth pistol in the series for G2. Smoke CT, split this two-man

03:02:58.200 --> 03:03:04.420
setup. Eyes on Apex flash. Oh, tack tested. Have you got unable to click either, tack

03:03:04.420 --> 03:03:15.060
down and the B-side collapses. Very nice entry. He spots all three. Apex gets the info on the

03:03:15.060 --> 03:03:26.580
remaining CTs. Make it for this. Try to breach the site. Mezzy will be that first contact point

03:03:26.580 --> 03:03:32.180
and then you'll have the tunnels player activate. Robbs can react and it's actually already Apex

03:03:32.180 --> 03:03:35.540
some robs combining to deter the retake attempt.

03:03:35.540 --> 03:03:36.620
Okay, nice round.

03:03:36.620 --> 03:03:37.780
But even after that casualty,

03:03:37.780 --> 03:03:38.780
Zawa goes down for free,

03:03:38.780 --> 03:03:40.020
but they still convert the 4v5.

03:03:40.020 --> 03:03:43.340
So that's the second best of vitality in the series so far.

03:03:43.340 --> 03:03:46.420
And now it might just be an eco out of G2.

03:03:46.420 --> 03:03:48.700
I say that is the investment start to take shape.

03:03:48.700 --> 03:03:50.300
There's a scout in the mix.

03:03:50.300 --> 03:03:51.140
At least there was,

03:03:51.140 --> 03:03:52.740
things are being juggled around at the moment.

03:03:52.740 --> 03:03:55.420
But, yeah, Apex just lingers there on the mid to B.

03:03:55.420 --> 03:03:57.620
He's got the flash to set his players up for the split.

03:03:57.620 --> 03:03:58.900
Wasn't really the key point.

03:03:58.900 --> 03:04:01.780
That was the CT set up having to move.

03:04:01.780 --> 03:04:04.580
But as you're trying to bring the energy, there you go.

03:04:04.580 --> 03:04:07.280
There's a hay-future produce that is from this century.

03:04:07.280 --> 03:04:11.080
The last one, if you caught it before we go back in, a jump throw bind.

03:04:11.080 --> 03:04:13.880
Those are a thing of the past, everybody.

03:04:13.880 --> 03:04:14.380
Yes.

03:04:21.780 --> 03:04:27.580
So with all this position changing, the setup of Hunter was here, would be Mattis long.

03:04:28.680 --> 03:04:30.380
Hunter is the A rotating rifle.

03:04:30.380 --> 03:04:35.820
Sampias, obviously the AWPer, and then your B duo would be heavy god as you main the anchor

03:04:35.820 --> 03:04:40.500
and then Nerts as the rotating rifle for B. We'll see if that's what they go. We haven't

03:04:40.500 --> 03:04:42.580
seen them play this map so far in Rio.

03:04:42.580 --> 03:04:44.180
The two Molly Goose, Matt.

03:04:44.180 --> 03:04:45.180
Taks.

03:04:45.180 --> 03:04:48.820
Brought low, brought down by Zawoo's Galil.

03:04:48.820 --> 03:04:52.680
Taks Flames will finish with the scout started of Sampias, Taks and Sampias' whereabouts

03:04:52.680 --> 03:04:53.680
are noted.

03:04:53.680 --> 03:04:54.780
It's Nerts that's the unknown entity.

03:04:54.780 --> 03:04:57.620
It's alright, they're taking the bomb B. They dealt with heavy god and they've

03:04:57.620 --> 03:05:02.280
rerouter completely apex has the rotation and that should be round now it's just

03:05:02.280 --> 03:05:06.380
about what gets saved for G2 if anything

03:05:14.300 --> 03:05:18.260
you see them still looking for nerds making sure that nobody else resides on

03:05:18.260 --> 03:05:21.940
the side but now that's being completely cleared it is just to look for

03:05:21.940 --> 03:05:25.780
damage on the way out of the door so to zero start for vitality this is their

03:05:25.780 --> 03:05:34.820
best start to a map yet in the series. I think that their comeback and clawback of Inferno

03:05:36.980 --> 03:05:41.300
will be filled them with a lot of confidence. I think it's one of those keys with Vitaly throughout

03:05:41.300 --> 03:05:46.020
last year. Let's almost go back exactly a year. Think about Melbourne and the type of rounds

03:05:46.020 --> 03:05:52.340
that they would be winning in a tournament like that. This is what we had come to expect with

03:05:52.340 --> 03:05:53.340
with vitality, but it's just

03:05:53.340 --> 03:05:54.700
been so dominant recently that

03:05:54.700 --> 03:05:56.580
they haven't needed to dig that

03:05:56.580 --> 03:05:58.140
deep to pull out those type of

03:05:58.140 --> 03:05:59.740
rounds to get them the map

03:05:59.740 --> 03:06:03.180
victories. So to see it happen,

03:06:03.180 --> 03:06:05.140
it's not unusual. It's just

03:06:05.140 --> 03:06:06.980
unusual in the last stretch of

03:06:06.980 --> 03:06:07.900
dominance that's been on

03:06:07.900 --> 03:06:09.100
display. It's all like nobody's

03:06:09.100 --> 03:06:10.100
been able to touch these guys

03:06:10.100 --> 03:06:11.580
as everyone's in flux playing

03:06:11.580 --> 03:06:13.300
musical chairs, trying to find

03:06:13.300 --> 03:06:18.060
the secret source. So they

03:06:18.060 --> 03:06:20.660
have the saves from the force

03:06:20.660 --> 03:06:24.460
carried through as well as a Mac 10 in the mix. So still going to give

03:06:24.460 --> 03:06:27.540
themself a decent chance in this one G2. Let's see if they want to be a

03:06:27.540 --> 03:06:29.900
little bit more aggressive, right? If they want to try and force the issue,

03:06:30.060 --> 03:06:33.380
want to push into lower tunnels, maybe try a clamp down on upper B.

03:06:35.980 --> 03:06:39.060
Tackle in close doors. Plainty will be out long.

03:06:45.100 --> 03:06:47.980
Mattis, he's going to get early answers there by passing through

03:06:47.980 --> 03:06:54.780
the smoke and he's clearing blue bin. So he knows Flamesy peased out fight for

03:06:54.780 --> 03:07:00.900
tack incoming for a position he's done very well remove his removes robs removes

03:07:00.900 --> 03:07:07.900
an AK-47 and some pyre surveying the top of middle escorting nerds is 5-7 for

03:07:07.900 --> 03:07:12.260
an aggressive push of his own heavy god's B side though it's been oh a test

03:07:12.260 --> 03:07:16.360
for him and he's handled it well attack another one pushes forward he's

03:07:16.360 --> 03:07:17.960
taking ropes and Zywoo down,

03:07:17.960 --> 03:07:19.240
starting with just a Mach 10,

03:07:19.240 --> 03:07:20.280
leaves with a double kill

03:07:20.280 --> 03:07:22.480
and now Vitality left wanting.

03:07:22.480 --> 03:07:23.480
Attack for number three,

03:07:23.480 --> 03:07:25.720
caught by Apex through the smoke.

03:07:25.720 --> 03:07:27.760
That's at least the upgrade in the bomb.

03:07:27.760 --> 03:07:30.400
Well, Nerts is on the same flank again.

03:07:30.400 --> 03:07:32.520
They're actually gonna play back to Nerts.

03:07:33.760 --> 03:07:35.720
Oh, and he hears them coming.

03:07:35.720 --> 03:07:37.600
Spotted on a jump by Flamesee.

03:07:37.600 --> 03:07:39.040
Nessie, Nessie, four to five,

03:07:39.040 --> 03:07:41.120
seven, highly uncomfortable fight for Nerts.

03:07:41.120 --> 03:07:43.800
That's a man who plays a lot of Dust 2 deathmatch.

03:07:43.800 --> 03:07:44.640
Yes.

03:07:44.640 --> 03:07:46.200
Yeah, that's just habitual right there.

03:07:46.200 --> 03:07:50.700
I'm sure that jump spot is just for that spawn. Everyone knows what I'm talking about.

03:07:52.200 --> 03:07:53.200
We got 30 seconds.

03:07:53.200 --> 03:07:55.200
Wait, the bomb got across the long, so that's going to pull some power.

03:07:55.200 --> 03:07:58.700
So it gives Flamesey the chance to try and catch this timing on the flank.

03:07:58.700 --> 03:08:00.500
Apex has to let Flamesey go first.

03:08:00.500 --> 03:08:01.300
Yeah, but look at the time.

03:08:01.300 --> 03:08:02.300
It's a bad smoke.

03:08:02.900 --> 03:08:04.600
Oh, he's going to lose the bomb.

03:08:04.600 --> 03:08:05.400
He's going to lose the bomb.

03:08:05.400 --> 03:08:06.500
That's going to be the round.

03:08:06.500 --> 03:08:07.100
Unless...

03:08:07.600 --> 03:08:08.200
Quick one.

03:08:09.100 --> 03:08:10.800
Time's around and nails it.

03:08:11.600 --> 03:08:13.000
Okay, well done to TAC.

03:08:13.000 --> 03:08:15.800
Yeah, fair play. That's the most impactful round we've seen from him in the series.

03:08:16.200 --> 03:08:17.640
Multi-kill on the Mach 10.

03:08:17.640 --> 03:08:21.200
On a low buy, you bring the fight to vitality and Apex is unloading.

03:08:21.200 --> 03:08:25.160
Yeah, well, it's surprising that there hasn't been any RG by RG back.

03:08:25.160 --> 03:08:28.640
I thought Nurtz might kick it off with that again now after a round like this

03:08:28.640 --> 03:08:33.040
because it was pretty successful on map number one because Apex was goaded into it.

03:08:33.040 --> 03:08:34.960
And understandably so, you should have the confidence.

03:08:34.960 --> 03:08:37.120
Because, like, let's fucking refrag it this round.

03:08:37.120 --> 03:08:39.120
That's why we're fucking struggling right now.

03:08:39.120 --> 03:08:41.400
We make a call, we're not fucking together, guys.

03:08:41.400 --> 03:08:43.560
So let's fucking step up.

03:08:43.560 --> 03:08:49.160
Normally when he gives those type of the players are accountable and it doesn't feel like they're just being berated

03:08:49.880 --> 03:08:55.800
Apex when people at home see it. Yeah, okay. It might not sit very well with them, but the team usually responds very well

03:08:57.480 --> 03:09:00.280
They know who their captain is and they know how he expresses himself

03:09:00.920 --> 03:09:03.640
And I just think a lot of the time what he's pointing out is

03:09:04.600 --> 03:09:06.520
The facts the fact that they were even in that scenario

03:09:06.520 --> 03:09:09.160
They really shouldn't be happening not playing off of one another

03:09:09.560 --> 03:09:12.280
Maybe a little bit too much individual confidence with some of those jewels

03:09:13.560 --> 03:09:22.560
So that's part of their force by back. They are just allowing all the protocol utility

03:09:22.560 --> 03:09:29.760
of G2 as they do have basic map control. Rops it up a tunnels, cleans it down towards Xbox.

03:09:29.760 --> 03:09:32.640
This is looking likely to be one of these B splits again.

03:09:32.640 --> 03:09:38.160
Wow, he's held onto his smoke for the longest time. That's the first block smoke of the

03:09:38.160 --> 03:09:39.160
B duo.

03:09:39.160 --> 03:09:44.920
has a full bell as well. So it's even scarier to get through right now. They do need to shut

03:09:44.920 --> 03:09:49.560
this down though. Look at the rotation. It's still very centric towards a tack chipping

03:09:49.560 --> 03:09:55.160
towards CT spawn now. Tack has a HG to break this, but a little bit too early.

03:09:56.680 --> 03:10:01.720
Pushing through would be a death sentence. Oh no. Back's turned. Back's away. Flames

03:10:01.720 --> 03:10:06.280
advancing pressure applied to the heavy God Nurtz duo. Heavy God in the corner.

03:10:06.280 --> 03:10:12.040
Manthlova got backs turned, the trade is quick and swift from Flamesy.

03:10:12.040 --> 03:10:16.000
High impact on his galil, this round, tag on the cross, Robsker does get the one across

03:10:16.000 --> 03:10:18.360
and that should signify the third round for Vitality.

03:10:18.360 --> 03:10:23.880
So a quick response due to getting themselves on the board and then Vitality quickly put

03:10:23.880 --> 03:10:24.880
them back down.

03:10:24.880 --> 03:10:28.160
Save this, some pass could drop something into the next, have he got to be able to

03:10:28.160 --> 03:10:33.600
buy himself or some pass could upgrade into an AWP and maybe they can make some type

03:10:33.600 --> 03:10:39.720
who drops up and heavy good could operate with an MP7 or an MP9 on B. I think one of the

03:10:39.720 --> 03:10:44.600
details there and I might be off. I wasn't looking at the PJ, but I don't want everyone

03:10:44.600 --> 03:10:50.080
else saw. So maybe you could help me. I was looking only at the CSTV, but Sampias threw

03:10:50.080 --> 03:10:55.520
what I think was a second HE for the break. And I don't know, it definitely missed. It

03:10:55.520 --> 03:10:58.760
bounced all the way back. So it's hit something, but that could have been difference maker

03:10:58.760 --> 03:11:03.720
still with the split. Supplies normally very good for the utility. Especially when it's

03:11:03.720 --> 03:11:09.280
Flamesy that was the one going through the split. Then he found a double entry. We'll

03:11:09.280 --> 03:11:14.040
see it again in the replay. Here he comes through the window. Perfectly catches now.

03:11:14.040 --> 03:11:17.780
It's distracted. Two players not looking at you. Thank you very much. Counter strike

03:11:17.780 --> 03:11:23.840
players dream. Yeah. And he goes from that into a Mac 10. Is that because he's

03:11:23.840 --> 03:11:26.240
He's got a spawner. He's going B.

03:11:28.080 --> 03:11:31.320
They don't have an eco, I forget, right?

03:11:31.320 --> 03:11:33.080
They knew that they were safe, so they...

03:11:33.880 --> 03:11:37.360
They've been doing a lot of this with the Mk10 in the last couple of days on Flamzee.

03:11:40.720 --> 03:11:43.920
One control garnered. Madness will get that control. Supported by his team.

03:11:45.040 --> 03:11:51.000
Flamzee and Rops have had no issues getting lower tunnels accessed, so Mid-Doors won't line up.

03:11:51.000 --> 03:11:55.160
Should see them now mantel up and play for short space next

03:11:59.560 --> 03:12:01.720
The member that head armor on the other side is nerds

03:12:04.600 --> 03:12:07.320
So has the run and gun potential right can draw the crosshair

03:12:09.160 --> 03:12:12.920
The door smoke replenish that will allow nerds to traverse

03:12:13.960 --> 03:12:17.960
Over towards the A side if you'd like gonna hang around the middoors to try and keep them

03:12:18.760 --> 03:12:20.760
boxed in for now

03:12:21.000 --> 03:12:30.720
Another block smoke doors.

03:12:30.720 --> 03:12:38.520
That was an audible underhand.

03:12:38.520 --> 03:12:41.160
Considered going through the clear but called it off.

03:12:41.160 --> 03:12:42.160
Just the round change.

03:12:42.160 --> 03:12:47.280
At least from Apex's perspective, 35 seconds to find a finish.

03:12:47.280 --> 03:12:49.280
This is tense.

03:12:49.280 --> 03:12:50.480
expect for rops lined up.

03:12:52.080 --> 03:12:52.980
Fresh and mid.

03:12:53.480 --> 03:12:54.580
No squad around here.

03:12:54.580 --> 03:12:57.380
So it looks like it's going to be once again this mids be split.

03:12:57.380 --> 03:12:58.880
Have you got to hanging around the lurk smoke?

03:12:58.880 --> 03:13:00.080
Is he going to be exposed here?

03:13:00.580 --> 03:13:02.080
Strafing on in for space flames.

03:13:02.080 --> 03:13:03.180
You're not even considering car.

03:13:03.180 --> 03:13:05.580
Have you got down to the Mac 10?

03:13:06.280 --> 03:13:07.480
The parting from flames.

03:13:07.480 --> 03:13:10.580
You see that just completely negating the car position.

03:13:10.580 --> 03:13:13.680
Swing in for the big box makes life really difficult.

03:13:13.680 --> 03:13:17.180
They have you got a nerds to be a save as some pious.

03:13:17.380 --> 03:13:18.580
It's going to try his luck.

03:13:18.580 --> 03:13:20.580
Tac might want to swing into this for the fight.

03:13:23.280 --> 03:13:24.580
So who get himself something?

03:13:29.680 --> 03:13:31.080
We've seen them go mid to be

03:13:32.980 --> 03:13:36.280
in what? At least three rounds, at least three.

03:13:37.880 --> 03:13:39.480
The pistol round being one where they were down.

03:13:39.480 --> 03:13:42.380
So yeah, a lot of mid to be playing the early stages,

03:13:42.380 --> 03:13:43.480
doing some conditioning.

03:13:44.080 --> 03:13:46.480
Another save as the loss bonus continues to build.

03:13:46.480 --> 03:13:50.620
Next one to be a 2400 cash injection again surprise can drop tack can drop

03:13:51.340 --> 03:13:54.940
They can buy again, but I suspect we might get a store time out

03:14:06.560 --> 03:14:09.960
I'm curious I would like to this a sort of I'd like to know if

03:14:11.280 --> 03:14:16.060
After that one loss if someone said yeah, thanks. Let's just not yell back in this or

03:14:16.480 --> 03:14:24.820
He decided himself. Yeah, that's not worth the energy. I am curious.

03:14:26.980 --> 03:14:33.360
Because the rollo had a very different energy. Yes. It felt a bit more jovial. Yes.

03:14:33.360 --> 03:14:42.760
And now it's a whole lot more tense. So I was discussing his plans with his AWP.

03:14:42.760 --> 03:14:49.060
Maybe gonna get boosted up, try and hit someone on the cross. It is the Zywoo mini-game. He's very proficient.

03:14:49.060 --> 03:14:54.760
I like the fact that they gave themselves a 30 seconds there, G2, because they've decided to keep the Scout, but Simpire's still upgrades.

03:14:54.760 --> 03:14:59.760
So, Heavy Goat gets that, and that's funny, you can do that back flat. It's not the best, it's also not the worst.

03:15:03.760 --> 03:15:08.760
Two across, counting the numbers. The HE obscuring though may not have been relayed.

03:15:12.760 --> 03:15:23.760
Safe long take there as well from G2, they waited for a second time, they waited on the corner, allowed the smoke to plume, then went with a flash, so they had the basic map control on the CT side.

03:15:24.760 --> 03:15:33.760
But because you've lost to so many mid to Bs, you either want to play ahead to unravel the default, right, you want to be jar and get a pick or two so they can't execute that mid to B,

03:15:33.760 --> 03:15:38.760
all you need to start doing those gambles we see, right, where there's three players over that side of the map to try and contend.

03:15:42.760 --> 03:15:45.160
Apex is so lucky to be alive.

03:15:45.160 --> 03:15:49.660
Oh damn yeah, but I would find the lethality that Sumpiast could have with his AWP.

03:15:49.660 --> 03:15:51.660
Not far off on the smoke aggressive.

03:15:51.660 --> 03:15:54.660
Nearly caught Nerds completely through the smoke.

03:15:54.660 --> 03:15:58.860
Sumpiast dead means AWP down means, hey, let's turn this into an A split.

03:15:58.860 --> 03:16:03.660
Yeah right, you know it's not going to be any of that car AWP angle to be concerned about.

03:16:03.660 --> 03:16:04.860
Well maybe there is.

03:16:04.860 --> 03:16:07.060
Nerds has been able to pick that up and find himself on the side.

03:16:07.060 --> 03:16:11.260
So an educated guess could see you walking into the Nerds AWP.

03:16:11.260 --> 03:16:15.780
I still think it's the right call. Just look at the U2, left side of your screen.

03:16:15.780 --> 03:16:20.540
You can do all the smokes, the fly, they're in a really strong position for a tidy execute.

03:16:20.540 --> 03:16:21.700
Matt has long push.

03:16:21.700 --> 03:16:22.700
Yeah, he's going for it.

03:16:22.700 --> 03:16:27.220
Yeah, he's booked. Now Matt is going to turn immediately to worry about this A-take.

03:16:27.220 --> 03:16:29.420
There's the nerds. Oh, you weren't expecting that.

03:16:29.420 --> 03:16:32.660
He picks it up for some pyres, his corpse implies his trade very well.

03:16:32.660 --> 03:16:33.660
Have you got rotated off?

03:16:33.660 --> 03:16:35.180
Oh no. Wait, boys.

03:16:35.180 --> 03:16:36.180
At least got an M4.

03:16:36.180 --> 03:16:39.140
Okay, head to head. You have to win this duel, and he's done so.

03:16:39.140 --> 03:16:44.660
Catches Zywoo, head of the smoke on the peak, now that he's used to put to good use, still low exposed!

03:16:44.660 --> 03:16:48.020
They go down to one, Rops spying the smoke, looking for number two.

03:16:48.020 --> 03:16:49.780
Rops lives, the bomb can get planted at least.

03:16:49.780 --> 03:16:53.060
He's going down, Rops has got to play his life here,

03:16:53.060 --> 03:16:55.940
but he knows they can see over the top of the smoke, so he's got to play this really...

03:16:55.940 --> 03:16:57.940
Gavful! Nerds nails it!

03:16:58.500 --> 03:17:00.340
He's put that up to such good use.

03:17:01.460 --> 03:17:03.700
And one versus three for Mezzie that does seem...

03:17:03.700 --> 03:17:04.340
24HP.

03:17:04.340 --> 03:17:05.460
...ossible.

03:17:05.460 --> 03:17:06.260
Good luck.

03:17:06.260 --> 03:17:08.020
They'd have to really mess this one up.

03:17:09.140 --> 03:17:16.060
Flashbang likely or just using numbers as he down immediately. What an impact round from nerds that one is

03:17:16.100 --> 03:17:19.860
Yes, I've a couple of those now as me maybe not in this map, but in the series so far

03:17:19.860 --> 03:17:21.860
so a triple from him and

03:17:22.140 --> 03:17:25.500
Right there as soon as a breaks goes down his call is playing all we have to go right

03:17:25.500 --> 03:17:29.740
But and also if you're thinking about it from the perspective of an a execute if the long play is not there

03:17:29.740 --> 03:17:30.420
It makes sense

03:17:30.420 --> 03:17:32.420
But because there's the emergency

03:17:32.940 --> 03:17:36.980
Feeling of all we have to go you're a bit more rushed right if the flashes aren't really there

03:17:36.980 --> 03:17:45.040
It's it's not as connected as it should be and the extra response shows that exactly how the team's probably feeling and all can be dropped for

03:17:45.040 --> 03:17:47.040
Zai we can get it back out

03:17:47.080 --> 03:17:52.700
It's gonna be a glill again for rops and AKs for the rest lose another one of those money broken G2 can tie things up

03:17:52.700 --> 03:17:54.700
Zai we're using the longspawn oh

03:17:57.180 --> 03:18:05.240
He's too perfect ship so does some pious over the flames. He's gone very well to find the headshot by the confidence

03:18:05.240 --> 03:18:11.080
running up the guts of mid and putting apex in the dirt you have to retire long

03:18:11.080 --> 03:18:18.700
and you will attempt to attack here's this he knows his multiple bodies molly

03:18:18.700 --> 03:18:22.200
blue bin on the second flash goes swing in a messy force to extinguish just to

03:18:22.200 --> 03:18:26.880
preserve his life flanky trying to bail out mr. merriment head-to-head

03:18:26.880 --> 03:18:30.400
jump attack he doesn't have to commit to this fight forces them why some pious

03:18:30.400 --> 03:18:32.680
Yes, good for it. G2.

03:18:32.680 --> 03:18:35.960
Looking to make this just a one round game with this one mad advantage.

03:18:35.960 --> 03:18:37.640
Have you got Sight very vulnerable?

03:18:37.640 --> 03:18:41.400
He hasn't got any help anywhere nearby, and that's why Robs is starting to search.

03:18:41.400 --> 03:18:43.400
Flames is just starting at mid to be as well.

03:18:47.400 --> 03:18:49.640
God, they've got that word cut out for them if every god goes down,

03:18:49.640 --> 03:18:52.400
but he's in a power position. You'd expect him to be able to get one here.

03:18:52.400 --> 03:18:54.400
Flames is here for the trade.

03:18:54.400 --> 03:18:56.400
Or does he go first?

03:18:56.400 --> 03:18:58.400
No, Flames, he is going to go first.

03:18:58.400 --> 03:19:08.400
I think he should be saving this one, Zawoop.

03:19:08.400 --> 03:19:12.400
He really wanted to have a go.

03:19:12.400 --> 03:19:16.400
Look, if he was in the thick of things, and he's already in the side, the trade comes in.

03:19:16.400 --> 03:19:18.400
Might have a chance in that one.

03:19:18.400 --> 03:19:23.400
But right now, back enough towards Spawn and on screen, TAC is actually taking away a lot of space.

03:19:23.400 --> 03:19:27.400
space. Absolute worst case scenario right now is I would go down after time and loses

03:19:27.400 --> 03:19:32.800
everything. We'll have to take an eco into the next round and the 1900 coming through.

03:19:32.800 --> 03:19:39.360
I like this from tag. Oh, get spotted. That does kind of put a damper on it. They haven't

03:19:39.360 --> 03:19:42.600
all started just sprinting towards I was I think they're just going to allow him

03:19:42.600 --> 03:19:45.800
to keep this AWP. I think if he didn't get jump spotted there, he's just going

03:19:45.800 --> 03:19:49.400
to keep walking it here and could very well have killed him after time. So nice

03:19:49.400 --> 03:19:56.040
attempt, but not over cooking. Okay, so it is just the orb. You have about two and a half

03:19:56.040 --> 03:20:01.000
K on everybody else and a really nice round here from St Pius. I love the decision tree

03:20:01.000 --> 03:20:04.120
of you. So that's a great example of like all the thought process there along the first

03:20:04.120 --> 03:20:07.800
flash comes in. They hear the steps. Okay, let's have a second flash with Molly blue bin.

03:20:11.080 --> 03:20:13.800
Get a second flash to come through. Mezzi on the extinguish, you know,

03:20:13.800 --> 03:20:16.200
you're seeing the thought process of both these teams and they're keeping up the

03:20:16.200 --> 03:20:26.480
the aggression look at this wow so we know what's up it nearly catches the booster they

03:20:26.480 --> 03:20:32.560
actually did invest a little bit here right so obviously lost bonus very slim but I didn't

03:20:32.560 --> 03:20:37.560
want the or just to come in on its own so that there's no matter you took to work

03:20:37.560 --> 03:20:43.080
with there is a plan and that's nice but now there's an opening kill this becomes

03:20:43.080 --> 03:20:50.080
even more threatening.

03:20:50.080 --> 03:21:03.960
Two, that is an attack on the fate of this smoke, I was hoping to catch you on your retreat.

03:21:03.960 --> 03:21:06.960
It's Nerts on the orp... it's worked for him once.

03:21:06.960 --> 03:21:08.440
He's the only one on A.

03:21:08.440 --> 03:21:12.960
Yeah, it's Flames again trying to go through that smoke so they will offer flashes Nerts.

03:21:12.960 --> 03:21:18.120
off the shot, informs Vitality's T-side and a couple of missed opportunities now that

03:21:18.120 --> 03:21:21.960
sets up rocks, he'll counter-attack on the clear.

03:21:21.960 --> 03:21:26.040
Wow, considering what they came into this round with, the fact that the bomb is down with

03:21:26.040 --> 03:21:28.600
a man in advantage of this already is impressive.

03:21:28.600 --> 03:21:31.160
Another smoke on Apex as well.

03:21:31.160 --> 03:21:34.880
It's gonna force their post plan to make it a bit more awkward with the incendiary

03:21:34.880 --> 03:21:35.880
down.

03:21:35.880 --> 03:21:39.200
Resmoke sure, I think that secures the round, you have to save now.

03:21:39.200 --> 03:21:49.660
Hell Mary sprays. That was an opportunity to get to type the game right there. They're

03:21:49.660 --> 03:21:53.060
looking to inflict a little bit of damage, but the fact that you just want this essentially

03:21:53.060 --> 03:21:58.420
on an eco with a safe AWP is that we take another one with him. Very well done there,

03:21:58.420 --> 03:22:08.180
Vitality 5-3. Well you make it as costly as possible in victory right there, but

03:22:08.180 --> 03:22:09.540
they will be able to rebuy.

03:22:12.300 --> 03:22:14.460
Robs can drop an AWP for Zywoo.

03:22:15.300 --> 03:22:16.860
So we can drop the AK and give him the nades.

03:22:16.860 --> 03:22:18.020
This is the opener.

03:22:18.020 --> 03:22:19.340
Sees the smoke as well.

03:22:19.340 --> 03:22:22.020
I think I have a pretty good idea of what this is all about.

03:22:23.300 --> 03:22:25.420
Oh, okay, they're not actually running the Zywoo wall.

03:22:25.420 --> 03:22:26.620
So let's see if there's a set piece

03:22:26.620 --> 03:22:28.780
that have very good long spawns right now.

03:22:28.780 --> 03:22:30.820
Maybe they're just all in long.

03:22:30.820 --> 03:22:32.220
Baby, it might be.

03:22:32.220 --> 03:22:33.060
Zywoo gets to lurk.

03:22:33.060 --> 03:22:33.900
That's a nice shot.

03:22:33.900 --> 03:22:35.660
It's starting solo long with the AWP.

03:22:35.660 --> 03:22:36.500
They should be blind.

03:22:36.500 --> 03:22:39.500
Yeah, really difficult. So the long space is given up.

03:22:39.500 --> 03:22:42.500
Sampias will retreat, try and break the smoke and catch something.

03:22:42.500 --> 03:22:44.500
That's rapid, it's a piece of apex.

03:22:44.500 --> 03:22:48.500
Wow, and even the Buddhists going through, connecting onto Sampias.

03:22:49.500 --> 03:22:50.500
The apex smoke.

03:22:50.500 --> 03:22:51.500
Me like that.

03:22:51.500 --> 03:22:53.500
Both Mattis, hoping for that block smoke.

03:22:53.500 --> 03:22:56.500
Oh, caught by the spray regardless.

03:22:57.500 --> 03:23:00.500
Have you got to activate, Zywoo's ready to punish this.

03:23:00.500 --> 03:23:02.500
Have you got Zywoo head to head? You don't get these all the time.

03:23:02.500 --> 03:23:05.500
Apex was just looking at Zywoo's screen as well.

03:23:06.500 --> 03:23:13.680
He thinks twice about continuing the push so good restraint a win for messy versus

03:23:13.680 --> 03:23:21.080
tack and now zahua can activate the restraint heavy god has with his smokes on

03:23:21.080 --> 03:23:25.760
this B site I'm doing it again I wish I would if we get to see zahua take down

03:23:25.760 --> 03:23:28.400
heavy god or even get killed by heavy god what the reaction would be from

03:23:28.400 --> 03:23:32.420
some pious alongside of nurse they go okay well if zahua's it up a tunnel is

03:23:32.420 --> 03:23:37.620
it. It can't possibly be long, can it? Right. I always put his rops mask on. Yeah. Now look,

03:23:37.620 --> 03:23:41.220
it was definitely spawn based, but that's the nameplate counter strike and how it can play in.

03:23:41.220 --> 03:23:45.620
This is just a round that's been called by Vitality Virtua of Spawns, but how the choices can be made

03:23:45.620 --> 03:23:49.780
on the other side based off of that. Now they should be set to take this round.

03:23:50.820 --> 03:23:57.780
You can see that they've hedged for a B finish G2. So this will secure at least 50%

03:23:57.780 --> 03:24:08.020
of the rounds in the first half in favour of vitality. Just worry about how much

03:24:08.020 --> 03:24:13.780
Zyra is going to take away on this lurk. Something 1900 loss for G2 going into

03:24:13.780 --> 03:24:20.260
the next round of play. And running out of chances very quickly. So this is

03:24:20.260 --> 03:24:28.300
another one of those situations where your hope of vitality are kind. It's not looking

03:24:28.300 --> 03:24:31.780
that way with the dots on the radar starting to gravitate towards them.

03:24:31.780 --> 03:24:35.940
But Nerse is going to be the beacon. He's the canary in the coal mine. And the canary's

03:24:35.940 --> 03:24:44.140
got hands, gets to denies the hunt. He borrowed into that position long ago. And it seems

03:24:44.140 --> 03:24:45.900
to have done enough.

03:24:45.900 --> 03:24:47.900
Oh

03:24:47.900 --> 03:24:50.340
It's not really too soon. I actually think

03:24:51.100 --> 03:24:53.720
Some parts of TV all I actually think in that situation

03:24:54.220 --> 03:24:57.340
Someone's probably gone boys our money is actually not that good

03:24:57.340 --> 03:25:01.700
We can't lose everything here and they've got what but if we run back we need to get away from the bomb

03:25:01.700 --> 03:25:07.040
So they were in somewhat of a limbo period right there because sure they're gonna be able to buy but their finances

03:25:07.060 --> 03:25:11.660
It's not like they all sit in there with the extra 6k. We're talking just enough

03:25:11.660 --> 03:25:15.760
We are unlike G2 who are going to be able to juggle it out around us as well

03:25:23.140 --> 03:25:26.860
Think something a little bit more out of the box if the G2 as opposed to just the standout understand

03:25:26.860 --> 03:25:28.420
They tried that boost never punished for it

03:25:28.420 --> 03:25:31.040
But when you have a player like matters who's anchoring long he

03:25:31.540 --> 03:25:34.700
He actually has been able to get given an m4 because he just bought in with the Famous

03:25:34.700 --> 03:25:41.500
So they have been able to pieces together again a nice again a nice time out a good opportunity to really discuss

03:25:41.660 --> 03:25:49.320
the finances and the approach into this one.

03:25:49.320 --> 03:25:53.320
Flamesy balls on a Mac.

03:25:53.320 --> 03:25:59.300
And Zahou has the AWP, but he has the absolute worst spawn to go for a long pick or even mid

03:25:59.300 --> 03:26:02.440
in that regard, so he won't even try his luck.

03:26:02.440 --> 03:26:07.960
Starting four strong AG to too short, too long, AWP floating around middle.

03:26:07.960 --> 03:26:13.240
If there was a B-pop or B-play that was early, that would be catastrophic for the defence,

03:26:13.240 --> 03:26:15.720
but they are gambling.

03:26:15.720 --> 03:26:41.720
That's always around these mid-doors, always around the smugs looking to just be a real

03:26:41.720 --> 03:26:42.720
nuisance.

03:26:42.720 --> 03:26:44.360
Yeah, he's going to make us play.

03:26:47.960 --> 03:26:49.360
Flames he down, nerds.

03:26:49.360 --> 03:26:50.600
His forward position works out.

03:26:50.600 --> 03:26:51.320
What happened there?

03:26:51.320 --> 03:26:52.920
What happened there?

03:26:52.920 --> 03:26:53.880
Tech issue?

03:26:53.880 --> 03:26:54.280
I don't know.

03:26:54.280 --> 03:26:56.600
He started to push himself back from the desk immediately.

03:26:56.600 --> 03:26:59.240
Robs, two back, round still on.

03:26:59.240 --> 03:27:00.240
It's still on.

03:27:05.440 --> 03:27:09.040
Actually, a good amount of info coming off the back of this.

03:27:09.040 --> 03:27:10.320
Oh, we made a sound cue.

03:27:10.320 --> 03:27:11.400
Didn't want to do that.

03:27:11.400 --> 03:27:13.340
Heavy God.

03:27:13.340 --> 03:27:15.240
Ear pressed to the wall on the B ramp.

03:27:15.240 --> 03:27:16.940
Still concerned about the gap on B.

03:27:16.940 --> 03:27:19.940
It's Mezzie ready for the short rear-gress.

03:27:19.940 --> 03:27:21.940
He's going to dip on down.

03:27:25.640 --> 03:27:26.040
That's it.

03:27:26.040 --> 03:27:27.600
Could catch Mezzie here completely.

03:27:27.600 --> 03:27:29.640
Book him if he jumps up, catches his back, turns...

03:27:29.640 --> 03:27:30.340
Oh, no!

03:27:30.340 --> 03:27:31.080
Thank you!

03:27:31.080 --> 03:27:33.000
Fumbles the movement.

03:27:33.000 --> 03:27:33.740
Twenty seconds.

03:27:33.740 --> 03:27:34.140
Heavy God.

03:27:34.140 --> 03:27:35.640
Heavy God is in such a good position.

03:27:35.640 --> 03:27:36.540
I don't think they're going to clear this.

03:27:36.540 --> 03:27:37.480
It's Rob Stowe.

03:27:37.480 --> 03:27:38.600
All quick trade from Mezzie.

03:27:38.600 --> 03:27:39.700
He's got to try and play for the clutch.

03:27:39.700 --> 03:27:40.840
Can he get in the window in time?

03:27:40.840 --> 03:27:42.840
Mattis in some piers Molly

03:27:44.680 --> 03:27:47.700
Got smoke Molly you're right if you can block tunnels he's not going to

03:27:49.920 --> 03:27:51.440
He has them

03:27:51.440 --> 03:27:55.260
Playing for the one tap playing for the one tap nails your first spot for shoulder

03:27:56.120 --> 03:27:58.120
Pull it across the line

03:27:58.640 --> 03:28:02.000
five points of damage the difference

03:28:02.920 --> 03:28:08.620
They made it incredibly competitive considering they had minus one player. Yeah, that was tough, right?

03:28:08.620 --> 03:28:12.180
You could see from Zahra's perspective as soon as the short push came in something went wrong

03:28:12.180 --> 03:28:13.340
He pushed himself back from the test

03:28:13.340 --> 03:28:16.140
This was the opening there was nothing that could be done about that for the trade

03:28:16.140 --> 03:28:21.860
But the fact to get a claw back you think Zahra should be getting that so just floating off in a space there as I'm ad

03:28:25.740 --> 03:28:29.540
Wow, that's good restraint didn't I mean yeah, that's the spewing

03:28:29.540 --> 03:28:36.140
That's the kind of dip you know moment where you do let your emotions to get the better of you not at all composed

03:28:36.140 --> 03:28:39.940
to keep the game alive. Because

03:28:40.040 --> 03:28:41.240
the money again member vitality

03:28:41.340 --> 03:28:42.840
went for the hunt. They kept

03:28:42.940 --> 03:28:43.840
one player alive. They really

03:28:43.940 --> 03:28:45.040
struggling in the financial

03:28:45.140 --> 03:28:46.040
department there. And because

03:28:46.140 --> 03:28:47.040
of their winning ways, well,

03:28:47.140 --> 03:28:48.040
actually, just because of the

03:28:48.140 --> 03:28:49.040
streak around in this game, no

03:28:49.140 --> 03:28:51.040
team. We haven't had massive

03:28:51.140 --> 03:28:53.040
runs where a team is like had

03:28:53.140 --> 03:28:54.040
max loss bonus in play. So it's

03:28:54.140 --> 03:28:55.040
been a lot of this back and

03:28:55.140 --> 03:28:57.040
forth. So that is extremely

03:28:57.140 --> 03:28:58.040
frustrating if you're

03:28:58.140 --> 03:28:59.040
vitality. Right now we are

03:28:59.140 --> 03:29:00.040
in a tech time out everybody

03:29:00.140 --> 03:29:01.040
so the players are not able

03:29:01.140 --> 03:29:02.040
to communicate with one

03:29:02.040 --> 03:29:09.880
the players are not able to communicate with one another and we have to get this one back

03:29:09.880 --> 03:29:15.060
underway ASAP. There is a B stream game that could keep you busy for the interim red kids

03:29:15.060 --> 03:29:20.160
versus gentle mates that is reaching its conclusion shortly by the looks of things. I want to

03:29:20.160 --> 03:29:25.280
go on all three maps and that is an elimination game. Coming up after that you are going

03:29:25.280 --> 03:29:29.520
to have Liquid versus 3D Max, Passion UA and Hottie versus Legacy those are the

03:29:29.520 --> 03:29:33.120
four elimination games for

03:29:33.120 --> 03:29:33.760
today. After this one, we've

03:29:33.760 --> 03:29:34.520
got spirit Falcons and you've

03:29:34.520 --> 03:29:35.520
seen the camera shots, right?

03:29:35.520 --> 03:29:36.520
You've seen the Falcons players

03:29:36.520 --> 03:29:37.520
in the background that spirit

03:29:37.520 --> 03:29:39.520
players to after that fury and

03:29:39.520 --> 03:29:40.520
RV and then Aurora mouse to

03:29:40.520 --> 03:29:49.520
round out your Tuesday.

03:29:49.520 --> 03:29:50.520
But the top eight that I've

03:29:50.520 --> 03:29:51.520
just mentioned there, well, at

03:29:51.520 --> 03:29:52.520
least the eight who are playing

03:29:52.520 --> 03:29:53.520
in the upper bracket semi

03:29:53.520 --> 03:29:54.520
finals today, that could be a

03:29:54.520 --> 03:29:55.520
playoff bracket.

03:29:55.520 --> 03:29:57.520
Obviously we're missing foot.

03:29:57.520 --> 03:29:58.520
We're missing power vision.

03:29:58.520 --> 03:30:00.600
The Mongols aren't here the same as Astralis

03:30:01.580 --> 03:30:04.380
Those are names who definitely would spice things up

03:30:04.460 --> 03:30:09.640
But with the way that the VRS has chopped and changed recently off the back of Pigeon Bucharest. It's

03:30:11.300 --> 03:30:14.140
Changed the complexion of the VRS a little bit to say the least

03:30:14.740 --> 03:30:17.700
We'll see what it looks like after this one's concluded

03:30:19.020 --> 03:30:24.280
But foot find themselves third. I think it's not like six Navier Academy players in the top three of the

03:30:24.980 --> 03:30:27.640
VRS at the moment, which is pretty crazy, right you get yourself

03:30:28.520 --> 03:30:30.520
Four of foot and then you've got

03:30:31.480 --> 03:30:33.480
bit and mccownsie

03:30:34.040 --> 03:30:37.080
Obviously bits going way back to is a roll back. Yeah

03:30:38.120 --> 03:30:40.120
Who would you say what would you say is the?

03:30:41.200 --> 03:30:44.800
They other than this game, which one are you most looking forward to today on the last stream?

03:30:45.400 --> 03:30:47.400
This has been a fun

03:30:48.600 --> 03:30:55.560
Navi fury a fury for two reasons. I think that those two teams are my like plus paravision

03:30:55.560 --> 03:31:00.560
those are the three squads which I think, okay, they have chances against Vitality.

03:31:00.560 --> 03:31:04.560
We'll see what new Falcons looks like with Karrigan once we get there.

03:31:04.560 --> 03:31:07.560
Interesting that ParaVision's in that conversation. What convinced you there?

03:31:07.560 --> 03:31:12.560
Just think that they have a strong fundamental base and they're annoying to play against.

03:31:12.560 --> 03:31:17.560
So the problem is they need to continue to develop their game.

03:31:17.560 --> 03:31:20.560
I think what they brought into last year and now into the early stage of this one,

03:31:20.560 --> 03:31:24.560
I don't want to say it's stale, but teams are now getting more and more used to it

03:31:24.560 --> 03:31:28.280
to it because they're losing to it and power vision keep making deep runs and tournaments.

03:31:28.280 --> 03:31:32.200
So you're having to acclimatize yourself with that approach because you were used to it back

03:31:32.200 --> 03:31:38.800
when it was outside as VP. Right. But now it's kind of come back around. It's like fashion.

03:31:38.800 --> 03:31:43.840
Everything cyclical. It's just one of those styles as well where players can get another

03:31:43.840 --> 03:31:48.400
sounds ridiculous, but but bored because they will have some rounds that are really slow.

03:31:48.400 --> 03:31:51.400
They obviously throw in a bit more pace. They do. It's not it's not just a slow

03:31:51.400 --> 03:31:56.400
style. But, uh, yeah, we know

03:31:56.400 --> 03:31:57.400
how fidgety players can be. But

03:31:57.400 --> 03:31:58.400
all good in the hood. Apex is

03:31:58.400 --> 03:32:02.400
back in the server. See the

03:32:02.400 --> 03:32:12.400
buy started to take shape.

03:32:12.400 --> 03:32:23.400
4G2 in a third and deciding map with such high stakes as well. I mean, you talked about it during Inferno, that that lower bracket will have the loser of spare falcons.

03:32:23.400 --> 03:32:36.400
Yeah, it's not going to be easy. Obviously for G2, you've got vitality on, let's say, an off day, at least in recent history. I'm not saying you're not playing good CS, you are. You're playing great. I'm loving the moves that have been going on with this team.

03:32:36.400 --> 03:32:41.520
But uh, you've taken advantage of that and understandably so.

03:32:41.520 --> 03:32:44.280
Curiously, if I tell you, I've gone for the force in this.

03:32:44.280 --> 03:32:47.120
Oh, it's not pretty.

03:32:47.120 --> 03:32:48.120
Yeah.

03:32:48.120 --> 03:32:50.120
Quite a collection of weapons between both sides.

03:32:50.120 --> 03:32:53.920
Look at this, upper push early, flashed in, nurse, wins out the fight, opener on to

03:32:53.920 --> 03:32:54.920
Robs.

03:32:54.920 --> 03:32:56.800
His woes continue.

03:32:56.800 --> 03:32:57.800
That's really naughty.

03:32:57.800 --> 03:32:59.280
You haven't done that all game.

03:32:59.280 --> 03:33:03.520
They go for a forced buy and he's actually just gone for an early push.

03:33:03.520 --> 03:33:04.960
Heavy damage onto Mr. God.

03:33:04.960 --> 03:33:10.560
Yeah, nice time to pull it in as well, coming off the back of that tech, so when everything's iced out, you kind of set the time.

03:33:11.120 --> 03:33:12.160
Get an early kill.

03:33:13.520 --> 03:33:17.200
If I turn to it, a disadvantage, or, well, a further disadvantage.

03:33:29.040 --> 03:33:34.320
So they've clear closed doors with the flash, some pyrester blocks short at about that 55 second mark.

03:33:34.960 --> 03:33:41.120
Last time they tried the AXE Q was rushed because of the maddest long push.

03:33:41.120 --> 03:33:47.120
This time, as he's holding for that.

03:33:47.120 --> 03:33:50.120
And we'll be going for his own late arrival.

03:33:50.120 --> 03:33:52.960
Have you got a nerds both playing for mid to B?

03:33:52.960 --> 03:33:57.760
There's a lot of that in the early stages of this half, Flash.

03:33:57.760 --> 03:34:01.360
by our spots. Just one. Ooh, three peek.

03:34:01.360 --> 03:34:04.760
Framsey puts him down. Nice find on the Galil.

03:34:04.760 --> 03:34:06.960
Follow-through. Here comes the follow-through.

03:34:06.960 --> 03:34:09.560
Matt's attention drawn. That kill has pulled them off.

03:34:09.560 --> 03:34:12.760
Tack steps up for a double onsite.

03:34:12.760 --> 03:34:14.360
Scout's not the perfect weapon for this,

03:34:14.360 --> 03:34:15.960
but Mezzie rounding the corner needs to win this.

03:34:15.960 --> 03:34:19.360
Jill cleanly does so on to Mattis.

03:34:19.360 --> 03:34:22.560
One down. Just Mezzie on the mom's side and no hope for him.

03:34:22.560 --> 03:34:26.760
Tack's had it around there. Quad kill from the standing

03:34:26.760 --> 03:34:28.440
and makes it just a one-round game.

03:34:28.440 --> 03:34:32.520
Okay, well, a very strong chance for G2 to tie things up at the half-time again.

03:34:32.520 --> 03:34:35.240
That, there'll be another Vitali buy, of course, but it'll be worse.

03:34:35.240 --> 03:34:36.680
It'll be worse than what you just saw.

03:34:36.680 --> 03:34:38.600
Which, well, I thought it was curious that they went for, right?

03:34:38.600 --> 03:34:42.120
They could have gone for a lie, and then it would have been...

03:34:42.120 --> 03:34:45.160
I'd say predominantly rifles if they had taken that path, but...

03:34:47.720 --> 03:34:49.160
Wanting to challenge?

03:34:49.160 --> 03:34:51.240
They have had quite a few of these lighted by...

03:34:51.240 --> 03:34:52.760
Oh, hoo!

03:34:52.760 --> 03:34:57.320
Some pious hunters I move back to back opening kills now for G2 on a CT finish.

03:34:57.320 --> 03:34:59.400
I'll have a real chance to tie things up, innit?

03:34:59.400 --> 03:34:59.960
Yeah.

03:34:59.960 --> 03:35:01.160
Some pious staying active as well.

03:35:01.160 --> 03:35:03.000
He's been in use since running up mid with the orb.

03:35:03.000 --> 03:35:03.640
He's been great.

03:35:07.640 --> 03:35:08.120
Oh!

03:35:08.120 --> 03:35:08.920
I was great.

03:35:08.920 --> 03:35:09.480
Ride it.

03:35:10.520 --> 03:35:13.320
You tested some pious and you pay the price.

03:35:14.280 --> 03:35:16.600
Have you got been spotted on the Jiggle Rocks rule retreat?

03:35:16.600 --> 03:35:18.360
Knows that there's going to be a grenade coming his way.

03:35:19.000 --> 03:35:21.720
Just don't have any territory right now and two of your biggest

03:35:21.720 --> 03:35:27.200
Playmakers and space takers are in the dirt as I went flamesy. They had huge performances on inferno

03:35:27.200 --> 03:35:32.400
They're just gonna have to sit by now and see if messy apex and rops can piece something together to two three split

03:35:33.560 --> 03:35:35.880
G2 got notes and have you got back over towards B

03:35:37.840 --> 03:35:42.280
Sound the complexion a matters looks down long support spotted on the jump there

03:35:51.720 --> 03:35:53.460
Well, uh, tickled twice.

03:35:58.220 --> 03:35:59.360
They're not giving you anything.

03:35:59.360 --> 03:36:03.200
Not that that was the only thing they gave you a little bit, a little glimpse.

03:36:05.800 --> 03:36:08.000
All right, wrap it up, boys, one by one.

03:36:09.740 --> 03:36:13.040
Some pious times that's a perfection on to apex.

03:36:13.040 --> 03:36:25.720
3 laying is here in those short steps G2 to collect the dead even half wow the expectation

03:36:25.720 --> 03:36:30.520
of the Vitality clawed themselves out of trouble on Inferno was that this was Vitality's third

03:36:30.520 --> 03:36:37.520
map to win or is this going to be the safe dust 2 loss for Vite's LA?

03:39:30.520 --> 03:39:33.320
Let the you both know, let you both know

03:39:33.320 --> 03:39:35.080
Hold on hold on hold on

03:39:35.080 --> 03:39:37.400
So far, let the you both know

03:39:41.720 --> 03:39:42.920
Let the you both know

03:39:47.240 --> 03:39:48.520
Let the you both know

03:39:48.520 --> 03:40:05.320
Still completely up for debate in this Vitality G2 matchup, I said it would be their 6th but

03:40:05.320 --> 03:40:11.800
no it would be their 5th loss as a team on Dust2 if G2 can send them down to the lower bracket.

03:40:12.440 --> 03:40:14.680
41 and 4 as it currently stands.

03:40:14.680 --> 03:40:23.200
So I will not stepping up in the same way he did on Inferno, in fact the entirety of G2

03:40:23.200 --> 03:40:27.440
have managed to keep their form going, tack with a solid quad kill in that first half,

03:40:27.440 --> 03:40:29.920
but now they swap to the T side.

03:40:29.920 --> 03:40:34.600
And pistols have definitely been going the majority in the favour of G2, and they split

03:40:34.600 --> 03:40:35.600
them here.

03:40:35.600 --> 03:40:37.240
Oh, looking to start strong.

03:40:37.240 --> 03:40:42.280
So I will down to the B250, Apex hiding out on cart, he's going to be able

03:40:42.280 --> 03:40:43.280
to tap the first.

03:40:43.280 --> 03:40:45.380
Oh, quick on to the second as well.

03:40:45.380 --> 03:40:47.540
Close lines, Mattis.

03:40:47.540 --> 03:40:48.940
Beautiful shooting there from Apex.

03:40:48.940 --> 03:40:51.420
Round back on.

03:40:51.420 --> 03:40:52.300
Boosting.

03:40:52.300 --> 03:40:54.380
OK, this was all part of their plan.

03:40:54.380 --> 03:40:55.900
Taks not going to be ready for this.

03:40:55.900 --> 03:40:58.420
They do get a drop on him, but they don't get the shots.

03:40:58.420 --> 03:40:59.580
Now Nerds can pester in.

03:40:59.580 --> 03:41:00.820
Lovely finish onto Flames.

03:41:00.820 --> 03:41:03.300
He changes his elevation, finds a nice close.

03:41:03.300 --> 03:41:04.980
On that initial head shot, some passes.

03:41:04.980 --> 03:41:08.300
P250 finds a second, and Taks leaves with a double kill,

03:41:08.300 --> 03:41:08.800
too.

03:41:08.800 --> 03:41:10.500
OK, 4 to 2 in the pistol department

03:41:10.500 --> 03:41:13.260
in this series in favor of G2.

03:41:13.260 --> 03:41:18.860
They had the most dominant map of the series so far, and they could have put them away on Inferno if they do it on Dust2.

03:41:18.860 --> 03:41:21.020
Hey, it's a legit win, you can't argue with that.

03:41:21.700 --> 03:41:26.460
It looks like Vitality are going to force by again, and this hole can get very deep very quickly.

03:41:28.200 --> 03:41:30.740
So they need to spring ball back in with a force by win.

03:41:31.340 --> 03:41:32.500
Right here, right now.

03:41:32.500 --> 03:41:33.980
Guys, boys!

03:41:33.980 --> 03:41:36.860
Famous Rapex scout for Mezzi.

03:41:36.860 --> 03:41:38.180
Pistols for the rest.

03:41:39.140 --> 03:41:41.340
And Apex, yeah, he's making moves.

03:41:41.340 --> 03:41:46.600
That's very aggressive, very much Apex maneuver.

03:41:46.600 --> 03:41:52.020
Oh, Bomb! Bomb spotted some, personally lost it there as I was pushed, but still as I was

03:41:52.020 --> 03:41:54.980
going down, that's the clawback kill you were looking for.

03:41:54.980 --> 03:41:57.500
Yeah, that's his ninth opening Julie's been involved in.

03:41:57.500 --> 03:42:03.780
Up to that point, he was five and three, now five and four, so, sure, maybe not the

03:42:03.780 --> 03:42:07.780
most kills, but definitely impacting in terms of his opening frags, and can't forget

03:42:07.780 --> 03:42:11.620
that unfortunate disconnect in that first half as well where you have to think

03:42:11.620 --> 03:42:15.300
Zaheel in that position with players par-thin through short, like a gimmie.

03:42:15.300 --> 03:42:20.020
Yeah, so some real frustrations that Vitality will have had the half-time

03:42:20.020 --> 03:42:25.700
break to try and swat away, but you lose this one, you have to eco. And right now,

03:42:26.500 --> 03:42:29.380
the bomb around middle, Flamsey reinvestigating long-shore.

03:42:30.180 --> 03:42:32.740
Apex is playing Joker again. It's just Robson B.

03:42:32.740 --> 03:42:39.040
I still don't have a clear indication of the finish with 50 seconds left, Lindsey.

03:42:39.040 --> 03:42:43.140
Still pathing forward for space and sees nobody's home.

03:42:43.140 --> 03:42:44.140
Short that I'm interested in.

03:42:44.140 --> 03:42:45.140
Oh, wow.

03:42:45.140 --> 03:42:53.660
They misread the situation completely.

03:42:53.660 --> 03:42:56.900
Because Robs was solo on B, they've gone, okay, we need to help the weak point of

03:42:56.900 --> 03:42:59.420
the map, but you didn't even have all the info.

03:42:59.420 --> 03:43:00.780
Media trade from Mattis.

03:43:00.780 --> 03:43:06.520
They've made it a really poor assumption there, right? He has the infer, but it means that they still could have been lower.

03:43:06.520 --> 03:43:09.280
They could have been up, but they clearly are up short, right? So.

03:43:10.460 --> 03:43:12.120
All vitality.

03:43:12.120 --> 03:43:14.720
Force find doesn't work. So what? That's eight and nine.

03:43:14.720 --> 03:43:18.960
Yeah, it's going to have to be the eco into the next. This is very similar scenes to

03:43:19.720 --> 03:43:24.220
Mirage, I think they did that window jump out on their T side and then Robs ended up saving just a five, seven.

03:43:24.220 --> 03:43:27.080
And the HG almost exactly like this could have even been on inferno.

03:43:27.080 --> 03:43:29.120
But either way, look at the smile on the face there.

03:43:29.120 --> 03:43:35.880
solo. Boss man's having a good old time as a two round lead soon can become three. And

03:43:35.880 --> 03:43:54.480
this is serious now. Yep. Just right. If Zywoo was split second earlier, you feel like that's

03:43:54.480 --> 03:43:57.360
his kill that's bombed down long hot got himself a galil

03:44:02.200 --> 03:44:05.760
Yeah, you bet he misread the situation I'm assuming he made the call but

03:44:09.800 --> 03:44:11.800
Some light upgrades

03:44:11.800 --> 03:44:15.360
It's all Molly make sure they can't scamper to low that'll make things literally easier for nerds

03:44:15.360 --> 03:44:21.960
So he traverses the tunnels double nays heard long only one of them hitting the target, but none of them finding damage and so again

03:44:24.480 --> 03:44:28.480
He is forcing the issue along with these fights.

03:44:28.480 --> 03:44:31.480
I wouldn't be surprised if he's just a little extra ticked off.

03:44:31.480 --> 03:44:33.480
Oh yeah.

03:44:42.480 --> 03:44:44.480
It looked like at the moment he handled it well, but...

03:44:44.480 --> 03:44:46.480
Yeah.

03:44:47.480 --> 03:44:50.480
It's like in that F1 movie, you know, he's driving angry.

03:44:50.480 --> 03:44:53.480
They haven't won around since then.

03:44:53.480 --> 03:45:00.960
and it makes sense in the first half when we talk about the finances the pistol to 50-50 the force

03:45:02.080 --> 03:45:04.080
Maybe you could say

03:45:04.240 --> 03:45:08.160
65-35 you know now the eco you really up against it

03:45:09.560 --> 03:45:13.680
Well missed opportunity from as you they've lost the site likely to lose this one here Matt

03:45:13.680 --> 03:45:18.500
This is lying in wait for the lower activation combined with heavy got up top mid and it's flawless

03:45:18.500 --> 03:45:24.580
Apex can't even put a blemish on the record, a flying Mach 10 finishes it off, five alive

03:45:24.580 --> 03:45:32.180
smiles creeping onto the face of G2, fall away from not only securing playoffs but sending

03:45:32.180 --> 03:45:33.780
vitality to the lowers.

03:45:33.780 --> 03:45:38.660
It is a wild thing that if obviously order of games matters here but the first team to

03:45:38.660 --> 03:45:41.620
lock themselves in the playoffs didn't think it would be G2.

03:45:41.620 --> 03:45:42.620
No.

03:45:42.620 --> 03:45:43.620
So they're not far away now.

03:45:43.620 --> 03:45:46.300
Also wasn't even on the tip of my tongue when you look at the names and you look

03:45:46.300 --> 03:45:47.300
at the slots.

03:45:47.300 --> 03:45:50.000
But when you think standing, you think no chance.

03:45:50.000 --> 03:45:55.400
Absolutely. I thought the caveat was massive, but apparently things are flowing pretty damn nicely.

03:45:55.400 --> 03:45:56.700
Some pirates calling this shot.

03:45:56.700 --> 03:45:58.000
Look at this call though.

03:45:58.000 --> 03:45:59.100
Look, there's nobody tunnels.

03:45:59.100 --> 03:46:03.700
They are likely just to do a snake walk up cat into an A eruption.

03:46:03.700 --> 03:46:05.000
I love it when we see this call.

03:46:05.000 --> 03:46:06.100
I've seen it from foot a lot.

03:46:06.100 --> 03:46:07.600
Grabeni likes to call it too.

03:46:07.600 --> 03:46:10.900
I think you just have so much freedom right now with the way that you can maneuver if you're GT.

03:46:10.900 --> 03:46:14.300
You're going to catch Apex off guard and he's just going to be spitting chips here.

03:46:14.300 --> 03:46:14.900
Yeah.

03:46:17.300 --> 03:46:21.620
Look how quick this is minute 20 eruption here. They come back. You know, there's nothing else on the map

03:46:21.620 --> 03:46:26.280
We won hell of a hey G nice shot from Zai would find himself in the opening department this time a kill

03:46:26.580 --> 03:46:33.260
Apex will activate only the one on the spray good from tack despite the flashbang finding the headshot necessary playing retake bomb will go down

03:46:35.180 --> 03:46:37.180
No kit

03:46:38.820 --> 03:46:45.420
That is a big 10 second diffuse condemned you gotta be making moves here another CT smoke it hasn't channeled them to

03:46:45.420 --> 03:46:49.940
sure they're still gonna play through CT spawn and some fires only has a mag 10 to work his magic

03:46:49.940 --> 03:46:54.340
Messi's gonna use that second smoke from Rob's to maneuver forward some pies though

03:46:54.740 --> 03:47:00.400
Cleared nice of merge from the smoke on messy Rob's hits his shots and vitality a team ace

03:47:00.780 --> 03:47:06.440
No kit no problem. That was class there the weather approach that is very very stressful situation

03:47:06.500 --> 03:47:12.060
the second smoke messy walks in our uncrouches to just expose his head. I mean that was

03:47:12.060 --> 03:47:16.680
stunning. Okay, well that was well this time he gets over and apex was ready for

03:47:16.680 --> 03:47:19.460
that. Mind you, I'm sad I'm thinking he's gonna get caught off guard by timing.

03:47:19.460 --> 03:47:24.420
He's playing an angle for them already parving out. So this is a kill that makes

03:47:24.420 --> 03:47:29.660
that retake. Very well done from Mezzie. Beautiful frag. And the whole team as

03:47:29.660 --> 03:47:32.580
you mentioned, piece it together to make it possible. But that was a bit of a

03:47:32.580 --> 03:47:37.100
bonus. Still two round gap to close down. G2 more than enough money to

03:47:37.100 --> 03:47:39.420
splash, surprise, we'll get boosted suicide.

03:47:49.980 --> 03:47:53.260
Oh, this looks like they want to go off the last of the molly.

03:47:53.300 --> 03:47:55.940
Mattis makes a step, robs locked in.

03:47:56.420 --> 03:47:58.260
Is he called upon? Quick head shot from Mr.

03:47:58.260 --> 03:48:00.860
Cool, a second rotation to the north.

03:48:00.860 --> 03:48:02.740
They know him as he is a big rotation.

03:48:02.740 --> 03:48:03.900
Two players started cheating over there.

03:48:03.900 --> 03:48:06.300
Thought it was full B commit out of position right now,

03:48:06.300 --> 03:48:07.340
But they'll get back in time.

03:48:07.340 --> 03:48:09.660
The bombs in turns back attack.

03:48:19.220 --> 03:48:21.100
Some pirates already with his eye to the scope,

03:48:21.100 --> 03:48:22.860
starting to throw a bit middle.

03:48:23.980 --> 03:48:26.700
At least a mid to B gives you a 3v2 in theory.

03:48:27.540 --> 03:48:29.780
That's the FAPX doesn't get anything on his smoke spams.

03:48:29.780 --> 03:48:31.580
Yeah, and he has a HE to break.

03:48:31.620 --> 03:48:32.780
Yeah, do you have double smoke?

03:48:32.780 --> 03:48:33.740
You do.

03:48:33.740 --> 03:48:35.380
You wouldn't invest it, though.

03:48:35.380 --> 03:48:37.380
I'd like one for the post plan.

03:48:40.380 --> 03:48:42.380
Okay, here comes that HE break.

03:48:42.380 --> 03:48:44.380
Oh no, first and incendiary.

03:48:44.380 --> 03:48:46.380
So, Heavy God's going to be completely isolated from the bunch.

03:48:46.380 --> 03:48:48.380
He's pushing forward though.

03:48:48.380 --> 03:48:50.380
Is this further than Robs is ready for?

03:48:50.380 --> 03:48:52.380
Yeah, I think so. Heavy damage onto the other two.

03:48:52.380 --> 03:48:53.380
Heavy God.

03:48:53.380 --> 03:48:54.380
Oh, quick adjustment.

03:48:54.380 --> 03:48:56.380
Those are what Robs is as well.

03:48:56.380 --> 03:48:58.380
Double from Heavy God and they can go through tunnels.

03:48:58.380 --> 03:49:00.380
They've managed to pull this right back.

03:49:00.380 --> 03:49:03.380
They've still got that supply of smoke as well for doors.

03:49:03.380 --> 03:49:10.380
to get that bomb down. He's

03:49:10.380 --> 03:49:12.380
going to win this fight fast.

03:49:12.380 --> 03:49:14.380
Apex disruptive force charges

03:49:14.380 --> 03:49:16.380
forward towards the bricks

03:49:16.380 --> 03:49:18.380
position and a nice elevated

03:49:18.380 --> 03:49:21.380
angle for straight. Spot. Have

03:49:21.380 --> 03:49:23.380
you got over the top? Have you

03:49:23.380 --> 03:49:24.380
got what a play, though to be

03:49:24.380 --> 03:49:26.380
able to pip that gap right there.

03:49:26.380 --> 03:49:28.380
That becomes extremely tense.

03:49:28.380 --> 03:49:32.620
Have you got what a play though to be able to pip that gap right there that becomes extremely tense

03:49:33.940 --> 03:49:35.940
fact that it is

03:49:36.420 --> 03:49:39.460
Tempered in terms of the party right you okay, they're out mid to be okay

03:49:39.460 --> 03:49:40.380
They come through to no

03:49:40.380 --> 03:49:43.140
He's just go get me a gap and I'll find us a multi

03:49:43.140 --> 03:49:47.700
So at least they are able to get into the site and keep it stressful for vitality

03:49:47.700 --> 03:49:52.420
You're not allowing them just start picking up speed with a couple of flawless rounds, but doesn't change the finances

03:49:52.820 --> 03:49:55.820
Some biases just hit a tag shot on rops crossing towards beat

03:49:55.820 --> 03:50:00.920
So if you're wondering where half his HP went, that's it, but it's going to be a

03:50:00.920 --> 03:50:06.000
Deagle, Galil, the Scout, and so another one of the Deagles as mentioned, it's just

03:50:06.000 --> 03:50:10.520
going to be heavy god down to a Glock. So still a chance to try and make

03:50:10.520 --> 03:50:11.320
something happen here.

03:50:11.320 --> 03:50:13.820
I have one of these quick short plays perhaps.

03:50:13.820 --> 03:50:22.820
Sampai is going to be clearing angles with that Scout. Confirms nothing close.

03:50:22.820 --> 03:50:29.820
This is the problem with going short and the way you have it right now, I don't want to call it a hopeless round for G2, but this is an extremely tough round.

03:50:29.820 --> 03:50:37.820
You have one smoke, maybe you have to try and utilize a run boost alongside of this smoke to make this happen. You're relying on Xayah missing.

03:50:39.820 --> 03:50:47.820
This is the smoke that plumes downwards as well, so it opens up the vulnerability for a drop, which can really be acknowledged by Apex.

03:50:47.820 --> 03:50:52.020
What a boost over the top. It's a little avant-garde. I don't like the idea.

03:50:52.020 --> 03:50:54.020
Thanks for what I heard the scout.

03:50:54.020 --> 03:50:57.020
And here's the truck, as you can find him comfortably.

03:50:57.020 --> 03:51:00.020
And just meat-grinded.

03:51:00.020 --> 03:51:03.020
G2 sausages on the menu.

03:51:03.020 --> 03:51:06.020
Alright, that was the eco. Now the guns come back out.

03:51:06.020 --> 03:51:10.020
Little bit touch and go. You got around 4K, so it's going to be lighter on the U2.

03:51:10.020 --> 03:51:11.020
Is that boss man calling them?

03:51:11.020 --> 03:51:14.020
Yeah, last one for G2.

03:51:14.020 --> 03:51:16.020
Now this one isn't to discuss...

03:51:16.020 --> 03:51:18.980
Wow, it is you need to work exactly what you till is available

03:51:18.980 --> 03:51:22.180
You can look at the spawns or at least we can they have some good ones for long matter

03:51:22.180 --> 03:51:25.680
Surprise heavy god if they wanted to try something a little bit more pacey they can

03:51:29.140 --> 03:51:31.140
Surprise is able to get out the AWP

03:51:32.500 --> 03:51:38.420
It will be rifles for the rest heavy gods come in with a galil focus on sure he gets all the you to over the firepower

03:51:38.420 --> 03:51:50.780
But there's a flawless round that helps the Vantality build, at least another buy or two.

03:51:50.780 --> 03:51:54.220
So last opportunity for Sword to call that, some pyres is looking like he is either just

03:51:54.220 --> 03:51:58.660
going to take the pick or get boosted in suicide, or at least he was.

03:51:58.660 --> 03:51:59.160
There we go.

03:52:11.580 --> 03:52:15.540
I'm just making no secret of this presence either. Just very loud, a little bit heard there.

03:52:16.100 --> 03:52:18.260
So I know that he's up close, pressed towards the doors.

03:52:23.420 --> 03:52:24.780
Are you kidding me?

03:52:24.780 --> 03:52:26.480
What did he see?

03:52:26.480 --> 03:52:31.080
That tiny flash of pixels he's enough to drag nerds on the jump cross.

03:52:31.080 --> 03:52:32.880
It's just how far he was across.

03:52:32.880 --> 03:52:33.380
Yeah.

03:52:34.780 --> 03:52:35.280
Wow.

03:52:36.880 --> 03:52:37.380
Okay.

03:52:37.380 --> 03:52:40.480
Well nerds, three HP remains after Zywa is struck.

03:52:46.780 --> 03:52:47.880
Ooh, tech spotted him.

03:52:48.480 --> 03:52:49.780
No Zywa's position.

03:52:49.780 --> 03:52:54.780
The boys eat smoke break and dips back for sure.

03:52:54.780 --> 03:52:56.080
Well they're happy for the mid to B.

03:52:56.080 --> 03:52:59.280
Yeah, Mezzie's gonna be in a crossfire with Apex so they have to break.

03:52:59.280 --> 03:53:03.680
Matt is spotted. Mezzie swings in.

03:53:03.680 --> 03:53:06.280
Unable to win the duel. But I don't know if he's able to trade.

03:53:06.280 --> 03:53:10.580
His position was known towards the window and nerds on that low HP from Zyra's orb.

03:53:10.580 --> 03:53:13.280
Oh my god! Oh my Apex! This goes running!

03:53:13.280 --> 03:53:15.680
Another misread from Matt Escalar.

03:53:15.680 --> 03:53:22.680
Robs onto the low HP nerds, a nice angle from Flamesy, but not enough, TAC has got the awareness to clear it.

03:53:22.680 --> 03:53:26.680
And Zawu hoping and praying he can hit this shot on the cross.

03:53:26.680 --> 03:53:31.680
Now Smoke reveals his whereabouts, Heavy got already securing the round.

03:53:31.680 --> 03:53:35.680
Just by being able to be pushed out of that window ensures it's not going his way.

03:53:35.680 --> 03:53:37.680
That's all we're hoping to say, but...

03:53:37.680 --> 03:53:39.680
Oh, maybe. That came very, very quickly.

03:53:39.680 --> 03:53:41.680
Give it a look now.

03:53:41.680 --> 03:53:43.680
Jump again, I dare you.

03:53:45.680 --> 03:53:48.480
He's holding onto the molotov as long as he can.

03:53:48.480 --> 03:53:50.960
Sibyl will have a look.

03:53:50.960 --> 03:53:52.800
Sampias active on the door line.

03:53:52.800 --> 03:53:53.800
I know.

03:53:53.800 --> 03:53:57.720
He's having a look.

03:53:57.720 --> 03:54:01.440
He's hoping they start leaving, but he's not getting what he wanted.

03:54:01.440 --> 03:54:04.840
Last second probe from Zywu and Sampias.

03:54:04.840 --> 03:54:06.280
His patience is rewarded.

03:54:06.280 --> 03:54:08.520
Three kills from Sampias on the sniper.

03:54:08.520 --> 03:54:09.520
Having a good map.

03:54:09.520 --> 03:54:11.520
He's having a very good map.

03:54:11.520 --> 03:54:14.720
He's having to pick up the reins here at being the in-game leader with Hunts

03:54:14.720 --> 03:54:18.500
up not in attendance and doing a very good job in the frag department on the third

03:54:18.500 --> 03:54:25.500
and decider of this one and it hasn't really affected his fragging out but

03:54:25.500 --> 03:54:31.060
that's what's extra impressive how one is gonna feel tough right we saw as I

03:54:31.060 --> 03:54:41.460
would get that tag and that just yeah okay well one round gap short just

03:54:41.460 --> 03:54:45.700
It feels like it's not the same on Vitality in terms of having their finger on the pulse

03:54:45.700 --> 03:54:47.540
and the reed of the situation all the time.

03:54:47.540 --> 03:54:49.300
That's what made them so dominant recently.

03:54:49.300 --> 03:54:52.860
They never were getting caught off guard, and that's where this game is, them having

03:54:52.860 --> 03:54:57.900
to dig deep again and having to pull out some of these more individual heroics.

03:54:57.900 --> 03:54:59.740
So late-long pot flashes lined up.

03:54:59.740 --> 03:55:00.740
Flames his ante.

03:55:00.740 --> 03:55:01.740
No.

03:55:01.740 --> 03:55:02.740
Ooh, Hasvision!

03:55:02.740 --> 03:55:03.740
Still can't find a authority!

03:55:03.740 --> 03:55:04.740
Matt is with two!

03:55:04.740 --> 03:55:08.460
So, he was trapped on car.

03:55:08.460 --> 03:55:10.580
There's no way he gets more than one here.

03:55:10.580 --> 03:55:15.620
have to do something crazy pops up to the USP he's got so many players look at him okay now he's dead

03:55:15.620 --> 03:55:20.660
no way you can pull the trigger again forced to caught on the bolt tax spans through for two

03:55:20.660 --> 03:55:26.260
a suit 11 rounds 11 locked yeah and money's not great over there vitality because they're

03:55:26.260 --> 03:55:31.620
winning ways right it's only 1900 into the next this is almost it i know we were here on inferno

03:55:31.620 --> 03:55:35.780
but we're here again on dust to the fact it's been a blowout in the favor of g2 and now two

03:55:35.780 --> 03:55:38.620
two maps that are back to back and they're damn close.

03:55:40.900 --> 03:55:44.060
I'm just gonna have to do his very best to hold on to this.

03:55:45.060 --> 03:55:47.580
Three CT rounds, all they have to boast.

03:55:47.580 --> 03:55:49.580
But again, it returns to that point I was just making.

03:55:49.580 --> 03:55:51.580
They're not ahead of the play.

03:55:51.580 --> 03:55:52.620
They were making a move.

03:55:52.620 --> 03:55:54.180
They had an idea of what the situation was.

03:55:54.180 --> 03:55:56.340
Apex was coming over, but they get caught off guard.

03:55:56.900 --> 03:55:57.980
Oh, now Rops has been noted.

03:55:57.980 --> 03:55:59.380
They know exactly where he's off to.

03:55:59.380 --> 03:56:00.380
There's no chance he can...

03:56:01.140 --> 03:56:04.740
They're diffusing now as he darts away.

03:56:05.780 --> 03:56:11.780
I'm surprised here's this and Robs won't spam the doors wide up.

03:56:11.780 --> 03:56:13.780
Oh, he's not far off.

03:56:13.780 --> 03:56:15.780
Robs tugs into the safety of the nook.

03:56:15.780 --> 03:56:18.780
Okay, I think you have to take a timeout if you exercise here.

03:56:18.780 --> 03:56:19.780
You have to take a timeout right now.

03:56:19.780 --> 03:56:21.780
I don't think there's any other option.

03:56:21.780 --> 03:56:22.780
So this is it.

03:56:22.780 --> 03:56:24.780
You come out long, great work from Mattis.

03:56:24.780 --> 03:56:26.780
Another one of these Maltes.

03:56:26.780 --> 03:56:27.780
And this is it.

03:56:27.780 --> 03:56:29.780
They're just behind the timeouts.

03:56:29.780 --> 03:56:31.780
Two rounds where the players are in the right places,

03:56:31.780 --> 03:56:34.780
but not perfect to be able to stunt them

03:56:34.780 --> 03:56:39.500
them before they're coming out the doors. So XTAS calls this, as mentioned, it was 1900 coming into

03:56:39.500 --> 03:56:46.860
this. It's 2400 going into the next. So your choice was take the eco behind the save dem four,

03:56:46.860 --> 03:56:50.620
give them 12, play for overtime. They don't want to play for overtime. They want to get this done

03:56:50.620 --> 03:56:57.020
in regulation. So two MP9s, one for Flamesy, one for Messi. And fours on the other three.

03:56:57.660 --> 03:57:03.500
Playoffs on the line. Forget about the streak. Forget about the consecutive maps. Forget about

03:57:03.500 --> 03:57:10.500
had all of that.

03:57:10.500 --> 03:57:23.500
Slipped off the head, not gonna find anything on the cross, it's some bias.

03:57:23.500 --> 03:57:36.380
I haven't used a single smoke on the CT side to block your Adol.

03:57:36.380 --> 03:57:37.680
Not a single smoke.

03:57:37.680 --> 03:57:40.580
They didn't smoke long doors out of the gates to have a block B with a smoke.

03:57:40.580 --> 03:57:45.020
They're straight right now on the U2 is crazy but because it's being quite pack heavy,

03:57:45.020 --> 03:57:49.220
I think you want to try and constrict them as much as you can here in the early stages.

03:57:49.220 --> 03:57:55.440
He's gonna be here in all of this close mid doors leaves a lot of pressure on rops over towards be the man who saved in the previous

03:57:55.440 --> 03:57:57.800
Exchange of smokes over towards short mid to be lands to

03:57:59.480 --> 03:58:03.480
Now rops blocks be tense they're hoping for reaction for the CTs

03:58:11.560 --> 03:58:14.640
Doesn't get what he was looking for apex shows restraint

03:58:14.640 --> 03:58:24.100
48 for the finish. Mattis lining up the smoke, or actually no, he's going to be donating

03:58:24.100 --> 03:58:25.100
nades.

03:58:25.100 --> 03:58:29.880
So Apex blocks mid, Zyber blocks short simultaneously. They have to go through one of these. And

03:58:29.880 --> 03:58:33.160
now they're pivoting back towards B, which is the only man on the site.

03:58:33.160 --> 03:58:37.880
Oh, and Messi's going to be super low, like far away. Apex is trying to get across.

03:58:37.880 --> 03:58:40.680
How good was he to smoke? There's a gap over the top. There is.

03:58:40.680 --> 03:58:45.200
He's on his way.

03:58:45.200 --> 03:58:46.200
20 seconds.

03:58:46.200 --> 03:58:47.200
There's he.

03:58:47.200 --> 03:58:51.080
Baited it nicely by Apex's spray, tack overlooked the deep corner.

03:58:51.080 --> 03:58:53.080
Still pressure on.

03:58:53.080 --> 03:58:54.080
Robs relays.

03:58:54.080 --> 03:58:55.080
Apex in the right place.

03:58:55.080 --> 03:58:56.080
Perfect head shot provided.

03:58:56.080 --> 03:58:57.080
Robs does well.

03:58:57.080 --> 03:58:58.080
Apex revealed.

03:58:58.080 --> 03:58:59.280
Still got a lot of work to do.

03:58:59.280 --> 03:59:00.280
Sumpire doesn't hit the shot.

03:59:00.280 --> 03:59:01.280
Nurtz does, though.

03:59:01.280 --> 03:59:04.480
And no time for him to win this one.

03:59:04.480 --> 03:59:05.480
Forced to run away.

03:59:05.480 --> 03:59:08.480
Flamesy wants the upgrade, so he's going to hunt him down and MP9 jumping around

03:59:08.480 --> 03:59:12.720
corner in a perfect head shot from Nerds. Okay, very important save there for Nerds. He can drop

03:59:12.720 --> 03:59:15.600
an AK right now if they want to keep the pressure on with the buys. Sympires can buy

03:59:15.600 --> 03:59:19.440
himself. Nerds can drop one. He can still get U2. Madison TAC can operate on something a little

03:59:19.440 --> 03:59:24.720
bit less. Still the ability to have a pretty strong buy, and that's a tense round for Vitality.

03:59:24.720 --> 03:59:28.080
This is a round where they hold onto all their smokes up the gates. There's no pace to that.

03:59:28.800 --> 03:59:32.720
It comes in very late. This time, Apex does get the read. He is in the right place.

03:59:32.720 --> 03:59:37.720
the game. It's not going to

03:59:37.720 --> 03:59:40.720
be a good case. Financial

03:59:40.720 --> 03:59:42.720
conversation just like inferno

03:59:42.720 --> 03:59:43.720
will continue down the stretch,

03:59:43.720 --> 03:59:44.720
but this time the teams aren't

03:59:44.720 --> 03:59:46.720
broken with their buys not yet

03:59:46.720 --> 03:59:48.720
anyway. Next round will be the

03:59:48.720 --> 03:59:53.720
real case to make. They really

03:59:53.720 --> 03:59:55.720
I

04:00:02.080 --> 04:00:06.880
Nice damage connects on to three members of G2 significant damage onto some fires now

04:00:06.880 --> 04:00:12.220
He's got the reeds right now if it is this mid to be finished, which is not a guarantee just yet

04:00:12.560 --> 04:00:16.860
Apex is cheated over here once more this time much earlier in the round and with less information

04:00:17.040 --> 04:00:21.160
Surprise up cat sure alongside of matters their flash forward they clear it out. Nobody's home

04:00:23.720 --> 04:00:29.920
Again, they're a straight on the U-Tilt, but they're sticking their guns right now in

04:00:29.920 --> 04:00:33.240
vitality, staying this 3B.

04:00:33.240 --> 04:00:35.920
Oh, Mezzie.

04:00:35.920 --> 04:00:42.440
He's gonna be that first contact point.

04:00:42.440 --> 04:00:43.840
He does very well.

04:00:43.840 --> 04:00:46.960
A 2K on the spray.

04:00:46.960 --> 04:00:52.800
And number three as well, Mezzie tracks the swing of Nerth, finally brought down

04:00:52.800 --> 04:00:54.320
by heavy god but what does it cost that

04:00:54.320 --> 04:00:55.440
rops one and done?

04:00:55.440 --> 04:00:56.640
Apex won the round.

04:00:56.640 --> 04:00:58.960
Just by gambling that third man.

04:00:58.960 --> 04:01:00.560
Heavy god.

04:01:00.560 --> 04:01:04.560
He's still checking for the potential Joker.

04:01:04.560 --> 04:01:05.760
Plans behind the box.

04:01:05.760 --> 04:01:06.240
Oh dear.

04:01:06.240 --> 04:01:06.640
Hold up.

04:01:06.640 --> 04:01:07.280
Yeah, hang on.

04:01:07.280 --> 04:01:09.360
Apex uncrouches.

04:01:09.360 --> 04:01:10.400
Hang on indeed.

04:01:10.400 --> 04:01:11.360
You're gonna throw the HE,

04:01:11.360 --> 04:01:12.560
you're gonna soften up Apex.

04:01:12.560 --> 04:01:14.000
You're uncrouching your own risk.

04:01:14.000 --> 04:01:15.040
Gills the headshot.

04:01:15.040 --> 04:01:15.680
Is this real?

04:01:15.680 --> 04:01:16.880
No way!

04:01:16.880 --> 04:01:18.080
He gets that close.

04:01:18.080 --> 04:01:18.560
Geez.

04:01:18.560 --> 04:01:20.240
God, what a beast.

04:01:20.240 --> 04:01:21.440
Oh mate.

04:01:21.440 --> 04:01:28.440
even considered the joke from the Joker and then found the kill.

04:01:28.440 --> 04:01:32.440
Look, he's got him. He's learned a lot of damage there. He's definitely stressed Apex the hell out.

04:01:32.440 --> 04:01:38.440
This was great from Mezzy Shaw. But that financial conversation now goes the other way.

04:01:40.440 --> 04:01:43.440
I think you played for overtime.

04:01:43.440 --> 04:01:51.600
All right, G2, they're stubborn as Vitality, heavy guard with the plant, and the kill is

04:01:51.600 --> 04:01:54.120
giving himself enough to get out an AK.

04:01:54.120 --> 04:01:57.560
The rest of them down to Tech 9 to deagle for TAC.

04:01:57.560 --> 04:02:02.240
Heavy goes looking over, having a conversation.

04:02:02.240 --> 04:02:03.240
Statue and spawn right now.

04:02:03.240 --> 04:02:06.600
I guess they were still just working out the details, remember G2 didn't have any

04:02:06.600 --> 04:02:08.840
other timeouts to take.

04:02:08.840 --> 04:02:11.840
Vitality aren't giving them one either.

04:02:11.840 --> 04:02:20.840
Yeah, Apex does seem to have finally found his finger on the pulse of the calling patterns.

04:02:20.840 --> 04:02:24.280
I think you could do it again, try and, oh, and he's doing it again too.

04:02:24.280 --> 04:02:27.600
Okay, I was going to say, if I'm G2, I think there's no way.

04:02:27.600 --> 04:02:34.000
There's absolutely no way.

04:02:34.000 --> 04:02:43.000
And if you are going to try A, Flamesee and Zywoo await. Completely disconnected from the 3 on B.

04:02:49.000 --> 04:02:57.000
Okay, they're making that look like a really limp fake to bait out U2. Flamesee still got Smoke, Molly, HE.

04:02:57.000 --> 04:03:03.000
Okay, the second wave, that buys the Util, that forces it out, and now they're gonna explode.

04:03:03.000 --> 04:03:05.000
But I think it's gonna be dropping into spawn, it's still a B-split.

04:03:05.000 --> 04:03:10.000
Okay, Uriah nerfs, breaks his legs, drops into CT, Mezzie, readys himself for battle.

04:03:10.000 --> 04:03:13.000
Apex's gamble looking to be rewarded, Mezzie needs something though.

04:03:13.000 --> 04:03:19.000
Technines running in, Robson, Mezzie engaged, lovely spray, three in the feed from Merriman.

04:03:19.000 --> 04:03:22.000
And 12 found first by Vitality.

04:03:22.000 --> 04:03:26.000
And 2400 into the final round of regulation for G2.

04:03:26.000 --> 04:03:29.960
I can't quite believe it's still looking like a vitality finish and

04:03:31.760 --> 04:03:34.680
Seriously, this is the closest it's been for vitality for some time

04:03:35.480 --> 04:03:36.720
the

04:03:36.720 --> 04:03:41.720
Just one more round away and again the buy is only gonna be the 2400 the bomb doesn't go down here

04:03:41.720 --> 04:03:42.600
They've gone mid to be again

04:03:42.600 --> 04:03:46.760
And it's no surprise that when you are using some pies to be you're in game leader

04:03:46.760 --> 04:03:48.080
You've got no timeouts left

04:03:48.080 --> 04:03:52.600
You've got a standard for the academy team that your strap book starts to look a little bit thin

04:03:52.600 --> 04:03:54.720
Yeah, I guess the world number one of course

04:03:54.720 --> 04:03:59.680
But the fact you have put them through their paces right here right now you've taken away the 24 consecutive maps

04:03:59.680 --> 04:04:04.840
I don't think you're taking away what is about to become 18 consecutive series

04:04:06.000 --> 04:04:12.000
This is to secure vitality in the playoff in pursuit of the gold bars did it in Melbourne

04:04:14.080 --> 04:04:16.080
Almost a year ago

04:04:17.520 --> 04:04:20.680
Looking to do it in Rio to become the first to ever do the double

04:04:20.680 --> 04:04:27.680
to get in their way. G2 was not

04:04:27.680 --> 04:04:30.680
one towards the top of that list.

04:04:30.680 --> 04:04:31.680
They put up a very strong show

04:04:31.680 --> 04:04:33.680
and it's going to be a B pop for

04:04:33.680 --> 04:04:35.680
the finish and apex is gambled

04:04:35.680 --> 04:04:37.680
here again. He doesn't have to do

04:04:37.680 --> 04:04:39.680
anything. May just hang it out.

04:04:39.680 --> 04:04:41.680
Checking his teammates here.

04:04:41.680 --> 04:04:46.680
They come. Molly missed.

04:04:46.680 --> 04:04:53.640
still nails the headshots and it comes rumbling down for G2. Vitality truly put

04:04:53.640 --> 04:05:00.200
through their paces G2 with a stand-in and golden opportunity to take him down

04:05:00.200 --> 04:05:05.200
heavy guard putting in a solid shift here goes down to the eagle of Saibu and

04:05:05.200 --> 04:05:09.360
Vitality prevail you can see that a genuine sigh of relief off an apex

04:05:09.360 --> 04:05:13.200
there didn't return the favor to Nuts raising the roof and raising his voice

04:05:13.200 --> 04:05:23.200
on Mirage and they fight tooth and nail back into the series. He went so close, they earned that one, didn't they? This series, oh there it is, they're getting well over.

04:05:23.200 --> 04:05:37.200
It was 13 now, 14 straight Dust2s for Vitality, 18 consecutive series wins and Apex finds his voice. That was an entertaining game from start to finish, seeing the world number one put through their paces.

04:05:37.200 --> 04:05:44.200
I mean, so many good plays from the individuals, tack as well, hanging out with the big boys.

04:05:44.200 --> 04:05:50.200
I'm interested in this interaction here. Okay, well, there it is. Okay, well, all in all,

04:05:50.200 --> 04:05:56.200
an entertaining way to kick off today. That is just the first best of three for the A-Street.

04:05:56.200 --> 04:06:01.200
We're locking teams in for the playoffs of AEM Rio today. Sure, there's seeding matches to come,

04:06:01.200 --> 04:06:04.200
but that was vitality. You can't say they were on their A-game,

04:06:04.200 --> 04:06:08.040
on their A game, but you can say

04:06:08.200 --> 04:06:09.200
that G2 brought the fire. They

04:06:09.200 --> 04:06:10.200
pushed them, they tested them,

04:06:10.200 --> 04:06:11.200
and a couple of nightmares for

04:06:11.200 --> 04:06:13.200
Apex in this one.

04:06:31.200 --> 04:06:32.200
Against all the odds Vitality

04:06:32.200 --> 04:06:33.200
finally managed to get it over

04:06:33.200 --> 04:06:34.680
managed to get it over the line.

04:06:34.680 --> 04:06:36.640
A bag should breathe in a sigh of relief.

04:06:36.640 --> 04:06:37.640
I can see it on your face.

04:06:37.640 --> 04:06:39.840
Can you just tell me the initial emotions coming off

04:06:39.840 --> 04:06:41.640
of what was probably one of the biggest tests

04:06:41.640 --> 04:06:42.960
this year for you?

04:06:42.960 --> 04:06:43.920
Yeah.

04:06:43.920 --> 04:06:45.720
Since BlastBounty.

04:06:45.720 --> 04:06:50.040
Now I think we didn't play good at all, let's be honest.

04:06:50.040 --> 04:06:51.120
We didn't show up individually.

04:06:51.120 --> 04:06:52.200
We did a lot of mistakes.

04:06:52.200 --> 04:06:55.880
We had so many good setup where usually we slapped around

04:06:55.880 --> 04:06:58.280
and there we just lost it.

04:06:58.280 --> 04:06:59.680
So yeah, and G2 played.

04:06:59.680 --> 04:07:01.240
They have a stand-in.

04:07:01.240 --> 04:07:02.520
They played with more balls than usual.

04:07:02.520 --> 04:07:07.080
They pay a bit more crazy, they took more duels, and yeah, we didn't show up on this

04:07:07.080 --> 04:07:11.200
regard, so it was pretty tough, not going to hide, but in the end we won, and that's

04:07:11.200 --> 04:07:12.680
what I will remember from that day.

04:07:12.680 --> 04:07:16.800
I know it's been an absolute marathon of a series, but I just have to ask about Inferno.

04:07:16.800 --> 04:07:17.800
Your money's in the bin.

04:07:17.800 --> 04:07:18.800
It's 12.10.

04:07:18.800 --> 04:07:22.920
What was your mentality to be able to push it 12 times and finally close it out?

04:07:22.920 --> 04:07:24.360
I took a Mk7 and Kilt2.

04:07:24.360 --> 04:07:26.120
I think that's the key.

04:07:26.120 --> 04:07:29.920
Yeah, I think we've always been behind today.

04:07:29.920 --> 04:07:35.640
On so many aspects, we were like, we lacked information, we were a bit surprised sometimes,

04:07:35.640 --> 04:07:36.640
etc.

04:07:36.640 --> 04:07:41.440
And yeah, that 12-10, we have like 1-2k money, but we still managed to win, and I don't know

04:07:41.440 --> 04:07:45.680
how we won this round, but yeah, that's the most important is that we won today.

04:07:45.680 --> 04:07:50.000
We have a lot to talk about, because that wasn't pretty, but I think that's the worst

04:07:50.000 --> 04:07:52.320
game we have for the last three months.

04:07:52.320 --> 04:07:55.200
So yeah, it has to happen, at some point it has to happen that you don't play your

04:07:55.200 --> 04:07:59.200
best, and the opponent plays good, so yeah, but we want to play better than that,

04:07:59.200 --> 04:08:01.400
that's for sure and mostly if we want to win here in Rio.

04:08:01.400 --> 04:08:05.280
By the way, playoffs is indeed secured and I brought you over here for good reason because

04:08:05.280 --> 04:08:08.960
you walked over and said hello my old friend, not a very old friend, it was almost this

04:08:08.960 --> 04:08:10.560
time last year that you claimed your first one.

04:08:10.560 --> 04:08:14.520
How does it feel looking at these that potentially could be yours at the end of the weekend?

04:08:14.520 --> 04:08:17.680
Yeah, maybe that's because of those, we are not playing great right now.

04:08:17.680 --> 04:08:19.680
I don't know.

04:08:19.680 --> 04:08:23.240
I just think that yeah it would be nice to get it 11 more months after Melbourne

04:08:23.240 --> 04:08:24.240
I think.

04:08:24.240 --> 04:08:25.240
Yeah, I think it was in May.

04:08:25.240 --> 04:08:28.960
I will enjoy it, not gonna lie it's the big goal of the team.

04:08:28.960 --> 04:08:33.280
the major. So we really want to close it as soon as possible because it's really important

04:08:33.280 --> 04:08:38.160
for us. And thanks God we didn't go to the lower right now because our authority would

04:08:38.160 --> 04:08:43.440
have been a different story. 100% Apex. Congratulations. We'll see you in the playoffs of course.

04:08:43.440 --> 04:08:47.520
CD match going down tomorrow. But that was just the first game of the day here. Plenty

04:08:47.520 --> 04:08:52.280
more Counter-Strike on the cards. Up next, despite that rumor mill churning, Falcons

04:08:52.280 --> 04:08:55.760
now just one win away from making it to playoffs. But they're going to have to

04:08:55.760 --> 04:09:01.040
get through this demon first it's donk on the side of spirit entering the server after this break.

04:09:55.760 --> 04:09:57.760
They're both invulnerable!

04:10:01.160 --> 04:10:03.360
Something special comes from this demon

04:10:03.360 --> 04:10:04.160
And that's it!

04:10:04.160 --> 04:10:05.160
You're an actress!

04:10:05.160 --> 04:10:06.160
Gotta get some!

04:10:06.960 --> 04:10:08.560
We are back!

04:10:55.760 --> 04:11:07.720
I've got Donk with me ahead of Spirits Game vs Falcons. First of all, Donk, can you tell

04:11:07.720 --> 04:11:10.640
us the lore behind your lion?

04:11:10.640 --> 04:11:18.600
No, it's secret. It depends how you perform on this tournament.

04:11:18.600 --> 04:11:22.120
I mean, you've been doing pretty well to start off with when we're looking at your

04:11:22.120 --> 04:11:25.560
game yesterday vs Liquid. How are you feeling coming off of that one? Because it looked

04:11:25.560 --> 04:11:26.560
pretty clean.

04:11:26.560 --> 04:11:27.560
Good.

04:11:27.560 --> 04:11:37.560
Like we had like we had an amazing ancient against Liquid and like some like tough Dust2

04:11:37.560 --> 04:11:43.560
because like there was two pistols and like it's kind of annoying to play in series

04:11:43.560 --> 04:11:49.560
MR12 when you have like was two pistols because it's like zero or always and like

04:11:49.560 --> 04:11:59.560
But we had a pretty solid, I would say, and it was a calm game, we didn't have a stress, I think.

04:11:59.560 --> 04:12:01.560
It didn't seem that way in the server for sure.

04:12:01.560 --> 04:12:04.560
We know you have a good relationship with Magix behind us as well.

04:12:04.560 --> 04:12:08.560
Tell me how you feel he's progressing in his leadership journey.

04:12:08.560 --> 04:12:16.560
So I think the only thing that works in my gigs in terms of adrenaline is experience.

04:12:16.560 --> 04:12:27.560
Basically because if something happens on the server, it's always good structured.

04:12:27.560 --> 04:12:35.560
But we can only see us and it's a lot of details and always something can change,

04:12:35.560 --> 04:12:45.080
one thing and it can change the whole game and I think he is facing problems in terms

04:12:45.080 --> 04:12:46.080
of this.

04:12:46.080 --> 04:12:51.720
That is a huge task to be mastering for sure. Speaking of tasks ahead of you, Falcons, historically

04:12:51.720 --> 04:12:56.760
you struggled versus Niko and Minosir, you and Shiro as a duo but that all changed

04:12:56.760 --> 04:12:59.920
back at Starladder at the major, right? And you feel about going up against them now

04:12:59.920 --> 04:13:02.560
for the first time this year?

04:13:02.560 --> 04:13:12.360
Yeah, they were struggling but I think we all know why they were struggling and I think

04:13:12.360 --> 04:13:15.440
I hope we fixed it and now it will be better.

04:13:15.440 --> 04:13:16.440
I hope so.

04:13:16.440 --> 04:13:19.880
And it's not a edge to roster at all.

04:13:19.880 --> 04:13:25.800
It's Niko and Monosia, but it's different agile, different anchors, and like the

04:13:25.800 --> 04:13:26.800
Kyosuke.

04:13:26.800 --> 04:13:30.360
So it's like different playstyle, different structure.

04:13:30.360 --> 04:13:32.040
Thank you so much for your insight, as always.

04:13:32.040 --> 04:13:33.600
Good luck.

04:13:33.600 --> 04:13:44.000
Helix Stream Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with Intel, Acer

04:13:44.000 --> 04:13:52.160
Predator, Chex, and DHL.

04:14:02.040 --> 04:14:10.240
Oh boy, this is a big one and you're gonna want to sit back and relax to watch a team

04:14:10.240 --> 04:14:16.000
spirit versus the Falcons at the Intellect Stream Masters all the way down here in Rio.

04:14:16.000 --> 04:14:18.400
That's not a photo of Kixon from this tournament.

04:14:18.400 --> 04:14:19.400
No.

04:14:19.400 --> 04:14:20.400
I don't think so.

04:14:20.400 --> 04:14:21.400
Why?

04:14:21.400 --> 04:14:23.600
I saw some other photos, or rather.

04:14:23.600 --> 04:14:24.800
Oh really?

04:14:24.800 --> 04:14:26.640
Not much to smile about, for him.

04:14:26.640 --> 04:14:27.640
Or is there?

04:14:27.640 --> 04:14:28.640
Who knows?

04:14:28.640 --> 04:14:31.280
Perhaps by the end of the event, he'll be able to smile.

04:14:31.280 --> 04:14:33.960
There's a chance, right? We know what's going on over here with the Falcons, but there's

04:14:33.960 --> 04:14:37.440
a chance that they've come out here and said, you know what, we're going to win this one.

04:14:37.440 --> 04:14:38.440
They kicked it.

04:14:38.440 --> 04:14:42.720
Did you see that Niko interview is saying like, well, we're not distracted by the news, but

04:14:42.720 --> 04:14:47.120
so ever? I don't know, guy, maybe Kixson is a little bit distracted at the moment.

04:14:47.120 --> 04:14:49.800
I don't know if he can speak for Kixson on that one.

04:14:49.800 --> 04:14:52.960
I'm not entirely sure that he can either, but now let me go ahead and introduce you

04:14:52.960 --> 04:14:57.120
here properly. Since you are joining us at TelexTree Masters, we do have Jacob

04:14:57.120 --> 04:14:59.160
Pimp, Winesh Sport in the middle.

04:14:59.160 --> 04:15:02.400
We've been working together for 11 years and you're still there.

04:15:02.400 --> 04:15:03.400
Is it 11?

04:15:03.400 --> 04:15:04.400
Yeah, I think so.

04:15:04.400 --> 04:15:06.240
I still don't know my name, Trace.

04:15:06.240 --> 04:15:07.240
Jacob Vinnikey to me.

04:15:07.240 --> 04:15:12.400
Anyway, so moving swiftly on, we've got Janko Panovich, former coaching fame.

04:15:12.400 --> 04:15:13.400
How are you guys doing today?

04:15:13.400 --> 04:15:14.400
You guys having a good time?

04:15:14.400 --> 04:15:15.920
Yeah, actually, pretty good time.

04:15:15.920 --> 04:15:17.200
Trace, how about you?

04:15:17.200 --> 04:15:18.200
Pretty good.

04:15:18.200 --> 04:15:19.200
A little bit of a vitality action there.

04:15:19.200 --> 04:15:20.200
They pulled it out.

04:15:20.200 --> 04:15:21.200
Jacob's lying.

04:15:21.200 --> 04:15:22.200
Yeah, it's important.

04:15:22.200 --> 04:15:25.840
It's just crazy, you know, vitality, even of what they're losing a map to

04:15:25.840 --> 04:15:26.840
G2.

04:15:26.840 --> 04:15:28.240
G2's with a stand-in, no IGL.

04:15:28.240 --> 04:15:32.420
going on, they're losing on both of these maps, but just what Talotty does, what they

04:15:32.420 --> 04:15:34.220
do best, find the way to win.

04:15:34.220 --> 04:15:35.980
You made them sweat, Hanjekum.

04:15:35.980 --> 04:15:37.480
Yeah, Trace did it.

04:15:37.480 --> 04:15:41.140
They got his job done at Dead of the Day, you know, that was a long one, you know, not

04:15:41.140 --> 04:15:43.140
really necessary, but...

04:15:43.140 --> 04:15:44.140
Thank you.

04:15:44.140 --> 04:15:48.100
Well, let's get down to the business that everybody is talking about or wants to talk

04:15:48.100 --> 04:15:49.100
about.

04:15:49.100 --> 04:15:50.100
Well, we're going to talk about.

04:15:50.100 --> 04:15:51.100
How about that?

04:15:51.100 --> 04:15:54.060
Doc vs. Kawasaki, or Kawasaki to sum.

04:15:54.060 --> 04:15:57.540
Let's talk about this, and right away from a heads-up perspective, what are we looking

04:15:57.540 --> 04:16:01.780
I mean we can set the scene right because there's a lot of history between Falconson and Team Spirit

04:16:01.780 --> 04:16:05.780
One being that obviously now Talcans are playing with essentially Astonishing Kixson

04:16:05.780 --> 04:16:08.660
At least knowing that they got changed for us. Yeah, they're laughing having a good time

04:16:08.660 --> 04:16:10.980
Another one would be the whole streak that was going on between

04:16:11.540 --> 04:16:14.740
Was it Nico and Monizzi who had beaten Shearer and

04:16:15.380 --> 04:16:18.180
and dunked 10 times in a row up until the the Budapest Major

04:16:18.180 --> 04:16:20.740
So you can attack them from a lot of different angles

04:16:20.740 --> 04:16:25.780
One thing for me though that is kind of surpassing all that you know where it doesn't matter if Kixson is going in and out

04:16:25.780 --> 04:16:31.420
It doesn't matter what kind of state Spirit is in right now is looking at Kyushu and looking at Donk and kind of putting them head-to-head

04:16:31.420 --> 04:16:35.860
Because a lot of people were saying and a lot of people were praising Kyushu for being the next Donk

04:16:35.860 --> 04:16:39.500
You know for being the next big guy coming out and being maybe a generational talent

04:16:40.020 --> 04:16:45.460
While Kyushu has been doing a decent job in Falklands and at times good maybe even delivering better than expected

04:16:45.460 --> 04:16:48.480
I don't think it's fair to put him in the same category as Donk

04:16:48.480 --> 04:16:52.860
And I think that's a conversation I want to have with you Yanko as well. Can we close that conversation?

04:16:52.860 --> 04:16:57.180
Can we say that Kyrie Sturkey with time could be a great Counter-Strike player, but he's he's no dog

04:16:57.620 --> 04:17:01.460
Yeah, I think we can say that listen. It's also unfair. That's like saying

04:17:01.900 --> 04:17:06.980
You know the first pick in the NBA in the last 20 years. No one was as good as LeBron James

04:17:06.980 --> 04:17:10.140
Well, I mean, yeah, it's a generational talent, right?

04:17:10.140 --> 04:17:14.500
Like you're not really telling me much with that like it can be very very good players

04:17:14.500 --> 04:17:20.180
They're never going to reach that level and I think that's also this comparison where yeah, everyone's gonna look

04:17:20.180 --> 04:17:27.460
Whereas compared to Donk, like that just what it's like has Kyosuke like shown us promise

04:17:27.460 --> 04:17:28.960
and show good things.

04:17:28.960 --> 04:17:34.760
Yes, mostly related to his mechanics, right incredibly crisp, really strong game, great

04:17:34.760 --> 04:17:38.100
movement, crosshair placement, all of that.

04:17:38.100 --> 04:17:44.080
Sometimes a little bit left wanting in terms of just making plays sort of that are not

04:17:44.080 --> 04:17:46.600
directly related to his mechanics.

04:17:46.600 --> 04:17:51.040
of those sneaky plays or creating space when he's alone on the side of the map, and a little

04:17:51.040 --> 04:17:56.280
bit of the performance aspect in big games, right, in playoffs, which is where Falcons

04:17:56.280 --> 04:17:59.920
as a unit have not been great in this roster.

04:17:59.920 --> 04:18:03.960
You know, and speaking of unit, that is exactly what Donk was making a testament to, like

04:18:03.960 --> 04:18:07.920
their different systems. And obviously, one system is propelling one player perhaps

04:18:07.920 --> 04:18:10.600
a little bit further than the other, Jacob, and by that I mean Donk.

04:18:10.600 --> 04:18:14.360
Eh, well yes and no. I think Donk would do that on pretty much any team. I don't

04:18:14.360 --> 04:18:17.880
I think it's fair to say that the system around Spirit is enabling Dunk.

04:18:17.880 --> 04:18:19.880
I think Dunk is enabling the system within Spirit.

04:18:19.880 --> 04:18:21.880
I think that's been the case for a long, long time.

04:18:21.880 --> 04:18:24.360
I'm not sure if I'll buy that argument, to be completely honest.

04:18:24.360 --> 04:18:27.880
Whereas Falcons, speaking of systems, is their system right now, you know,

04:18:27.880 --> 04:18:30.520
and is they trying desperately to figure out what system to play with?

04:18:30.520 --> 04:18:33.240
So I think that's a conversation that has different levels to it.

04:18:33.240 --> 04:18:37.160
It's ultimately been the sort of reason for the demise of this roster.

04:18:37.160 --> 04:18:41.960
You know, they just haven't been able to figure out the way to play mostly on T side,

04:18:41.960 --> 04:18:43.400
right, and to find consistency.

04:18:43.400 --> 04:18:49.400
They're like the best team in the world on T-Side in like September, October last year sort

04:18:49.400 --> 04:18:52.920
of and they just couldn't get over the hump in those big games, started switching things

04:18:52.920 --> 04:18:58.920
up, it went from bad to worse in that department and now they're about to make a change and

04:18:58.920 --> 04:19:03.360
for Spirit I mean I think Donk enables Donk more than anyone else and then the one

04:19:03.360 --> 04:19:08.080
thing that does happen is yeah he's being dropped AKs in these hero rounds and whatnot

04:19:08.080 --> 04:19:11.120
and but that's what you're going to do when you have such a great player and

04:19:11.120 --> 04:19:15.620
But I'm not sure about the support. We've seen this a lot from Spirit, like picking Anubis, picking Overpass,

04:19:15.620 --> 04:19:22.620
like really going for these maps that are a bit more technical and not a lot of teams really focus on.

04:19:22.620 --> 04:19:24.620
And I'm not sure that's a good thing really for them.

04:19:24.620 --> 04:19:29.620
They've had some downfalls on Overpass with Spirit at the very minimum. Jacob, just tell me real quickly who's going to win this.

04:19:29.620 --> 04:19:31.620
Oh, I don't know man. I think it's going to be a close series.

04:19:31.620 --> 04:19:34.620
I'm not too confident in the Inferno pick coming out for Falcons either.

04:19:34.620 --> 04:19:38.120
And I think that was a mistake there we go. We're getting the correct version right here.

04:19:38.120 --> 04:19:40.720
There was Mirage being picked on Falcons. It didn't make too much sense to me

04:19:40.720 --> 04:19:44.560
So that's that's something that's good obviously spirit on our long inferno in the mix

04:19:44.560 --> 04:19:48.540
So anubis mirage it gives me a slightly higher hope in in Falcons

04:19:48.540 --> 04:19:52.760
But I have to side with which bird knowing what's going on with in the fuck talking about tea sites for Falcons

04:19:52.760 --> 04:19:58.360
They want to start on those in both maps. So let's see what they have in store for us. Yeah, you better hope

04:19:58.360 --> 04:20:00.920
They showed up ready to play. Let's go ahead and jump right into it

04:20:00.920 --> 04:20:04.000
It's Falcons versus the spirit at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio

04:20:04.000 --> 04:20:11.120
What do you think, Chaddy B?

04:20:11.120 --> 04:20:15.640
It wouldn't be the first time a team going through roster changes at an event has had

04:20:15.640 --> 04:20:18.040
an uptick in performance.

04:20:18.040 --> 04:20:21.160
But I liked what I saw from Spirit yesterday a lot.

04:20:21.160 --> 04:20:25.640
And I also liked the post-game interview with Magix and Stiko, where Magix said to Stiko,

04:20:25.640 --> 04:20:28.800
I'm doing a lot more than I would be doing with Halle here.

04:20:28.800 --> 04:20:33.600
I think the added responsibility for Magix might allow him to start feeling himself

04:20:33.600 --> 04:20:38.000
was an in-game leader. He's not calling someone else's game, but his own. And I like the fact

04:20:38.000 --> 04:20:41.920
you got us a new bus pitch. I mean, I'm very excited for a new bus. Of course, you know,

04:20:41.920 --> 04:20:45.720
the new changes has put it right down the priority list. A lot of teams aren't playing

04:20:45.720 --> 04:20:48.760
and picking a new bus at the moment. I'll back that up. Both these teams have only

04:20:48.760 --> 04:20:54.160
played this map four times this year. Yeah. So you haven't seen an awful lot of it.

04:20:54.160 --> 04:20:59.240
I'm also interested to see if Magic has a new position. He was playing it. New spots

04:20:59.240 --> 04:21:09.640
yesterday. As we settle into this pistol round, you tilt on Kixxen Tessus and they're setting

04:21:09.640 --> 04:21:14.640
ECO up for some AMA in control. In goes the decoy to clear out baskets, the flash to help

04:21:14.640 --> 04:21:18.360
clear the wider angle and it draws to near Enzontics focus.

04:21:18.360 --> 04:21:22.280
Donk and Magix might try and fight now towards EBOX.

04:21:22.280 --> 04:21:27.800
Shiro is hearing all those water steps, Kixxen did make an audible. It's going

04:21:27.800 --> 04:21:36.440
be this Donk bait magics frag. Donk is spotted and draws the man, nails the head shot as well

04:21:36.440 --> 04:21:42.840
in combination with Shira onto Nico late so a real trap set by Team Spirit and it springs shut

04:21:43.400 --> 04:21:51.080
onto the foot of the Falcons. It's on its start. Yeah very nice shots. Great job from the

04:21:51.080 --> 04:21:55.480
B defense magics and Donk doing everything they have to to shut that down early and unlikely to

04:21:55.480 --> 04:22:00.120
see at least a juicy looking force by the found because they could definitely force by it's

04:22:00.120 --> 04:22:06.640
just gonna be without any rifles so drawn into magics dual breaders and center packing

04:22:06.640 --> 04:22:08.640
so very well done for spirit.

04:22:08.640 --> 04:22:17.720
It's just gonna be a deagle into this one for Kyosuke and rest of them are on the

04:22:17.720 --> 04:22:23.600
glock so we will see the follow through the buy into the next excuse me.

04:22:23.600 --> 04:22:25.300
So it looks like the CT setup is the same, right?

04:22:25.300 --> 04:22:26.820
It's not just your anchor.

04:22:26.820 --> 04:22:28.820
Magic has to do with B main.

04:22:28.820 --> 04:22:30.340
Sorry, Russia, I know we go from left to right,

04:22:30.340 --> 04:22:33.740
but I was just thinking about Boris.

04:22:33.740 --> 04:22:36.780
Yesterday on Dust2, he was playing as the A rotating

04:22:36.780 --> 04:22:38.860
rifler, and Taneer took long anchor.

04:22:38.860 --> 04:22:40.700
So they had the position change.

04:22:40.700 --> 04:22:42.900
And I asked him, it was at dinner in the hotel.

04:22:42.900 --> 04:22:45.060
I said, they're more position changes.

04:22:45.060 --> 04:22:46.580
Now, I won't tell you what he said.

04:22:46.580 --> 04:22:47.460
Because you promised.

04:22:47.460 --> 04:22:49.260
Yeah, I promised I would, but I did ask.

04:22:49.260 --> 04:22:50.020
He did.

04:22:50.020 --> 04:22:53.260
All he's doing is investigating is Mr. Birch.

04:22:53.260 --> 04:22:57.940
Shiro, a little crowd walking from Monocena, a very quick trade from Niko.

04:22:57.940 --> 04:23:00.740
That gets a little scary, they're ahead of the smoke.

04:23:00.740 --> 04:23:05.580
Xontix just about gets his boots planted and able to sweep the rest under the rug.

04:23:09.820 --> 04:23:11.820
Just delaying the inevitable, isn't he, Tessus?

04:23:12.540 --> 04:23:15.860
See if you can get any more value out of this economical.

04:23:21.140 --> 04:23:22.500
Where did Shiro's MP9 go?

04:23:23.260 --> 04:23:30.260
Let's go question. I think that's

04:23:30.260 --> 04:23:32.260
beautiful within that. Yeah,

04:23:32.260 --> 04:23:34.260
Mika was running in with it and

04:23:34.260 --> 04:23:35.260
through. All right. Well,

04:23:35.260 --> 04:23:37.260
relatively spotless short, you

04:23:37.260 --> 04:23:38.260
lose shiro, but he wants to bring

04:23:38.260 --> 04:23:39.260
out the orp anyway, so he's not

04:23:39.260 --> 04:23:40.260
too worried about that. He's

04:23:40.260 --> 04:23:41.260
going to be able to get his

04:23:41.260 --> 04:23:42.260
weapon of choice in the early

04:23:42.260 --> 04:23:44.260
stages of this one. Also the

04:23:44.260 --> 04:23:45.260
AK is equipped upon now kicks

04:23:45.260 --> 04:23:46.260
in in with a galil just to

04:23:46.260 --> 04:23:47.260
facilitate that you two and

04:23:47.260 --> 04:23:49.260
let's really settle into what

04:23:49.260 --> 04:23:50.260
the T side approach is going to

04:23:50.260 --> 04:23:52.260
look like for this. It's a

04:23:52.260 --> 04:23:58.160
interesting choice. It would be great, I think, in the lead into the major if they tried to make this home turf.

04:23:58.160 --> 04:24:01.780
The Dust 2 is very good, but if their Anubis also became one of their better maps,

04:24:02.220 --> 04:24:07.900
obviously can't pick it against everybody. A lot of teams are banning it within the first way, but to have it as a potential to keep

04:24:08.820 --> 04:24:12.700
these teams focusing on it would be a nice little boon to spirit, I'd say.

04:24:12.700 --> 04:24:17.740
I don't say, you know, I mean, I think Doc's good on every map, but I do think Anubis is one of the maps where he can really kind of

04:24:17.740 --> 04:24:19.460
impose his will.

04:24:19.460 --> 04:24:21.940
CT agressions, T side as well.

04:24:22.260 --> 04:24:29.300
I think that's a good one.

04:24:29.300 --> 04:24:32.260
Mid control gained for

04:24:32.260 --> 04:24:34.300
Pixel and Kiyosuke. Yeah, they

04:24:34.300 --> 04:24:34.940
weren't hoping I guess the

04:24:34.940 --> 04:24:35.500
final players into camera, but

04:24:35.500 --> 04:24:36.140
there's nobody home to cop

04:24:36.140 --> 04:24:39.140
that you till.

04:24:39.140 --> 04:24:42.140
To me. Yeah, really? Yeah.

04:24:42.140 --> 04:24:42.700
Getting the most out of the

04:24:42.700 --> 04:24:49.660
sound keys, isn't he?

04:24:49.660 --> 04:24:50.260
So no secret of the mid

04:24:50.260 --> 04:24:51.460
likely will be a B finish.

04:24:51.460 --> 04:24:53.660
Monocleon tests his outside of B main with the bomb.

04:24:55.760 --> 04:24:58.560
Donk and Teneir are both worried about a mid to B split.

04:24:58.560 --> 04:25:01.260
The Magics has just blocked both E-box and main.

04:25:02.100 --> 04:25:03.900
He might need to help in a second, boys.

04:25:03.900 --> 04:25:05.900
Yeah, Donk's on his way back.

04:25:05.900 --> 04:25:07.780
Teneir's not far away.

04:25:07.780 --> 04:25:09.040
H.E. does a little damage.

04:25:09.040 --> 04:25:09.980
Gappy with the Donk.

04:25:09.980 --> 04:25:11.940
Yeah, he's going to try and get onto the jail position

04:25:11.940 --> 04:25:12.840
as they push through the smoke.

04:25:12.840 --> 04:25:13.640
It's an easy try.

04:25:13.640 --> 04:25:15.780
Oh, it's not so easy.

04:25:15.780 --> 04:25:17.780
Monocleon gets accurate.

04:25:17.780 --> 04:25:19.120
Pits the shot necessary.

04:25:19.120 --> 04:25:21.760
Now the bomb can go down. We've got a f***ing three retakes.

04:25:21.760 --> 04:25:23.640
Shiro and Zontics arriving from CT.

04:25:23.640 --> 04:25:25.920
Well, Smoke's gonna fade. Shiro can post up with the AWP

04:25:25.920 --> 04:25:28.720
and then they're able to walk up knowing the scope is covering them here.

04:25:29.960 --> 04:25:33.480
Niko and Kyosuke are gonna double up towards that E-box position.

04:25:34.040 --> 04:25:36.040
No, you two three, decide.

04:25:37.640 --> 04:25:40.240
So who plays first?

04:25:40.240 --> 04:25:42.600
Tables Smoke faded now. It's a nicking contribute.

04:25:42.600 --> 04:25:44.040
No, kid. Oh, no, sorry.

04:25:44.040 --> 04:25:46.040
Zontics has one. Excuse me.

04:25:46.040 --> 04:25:50.580
They're giving him nothing. Absolutely nothing.

04:25:50.580 --> 04:25:51.580
Flash out May.

04:25:51.580 --> 04:25:52.580
S.S.

04:25:52.580 --> 04:25:57.380
Oh, with a white screen, still hits it and that's going to be around the kit, man. Irretrievable.

04:25:57.380 --> 04:25:58.380
Shirro.

04:25:58.380 --> 04:26:00.500
I think you're a dead man here, Shirro.

04:26:00.500 --> 04:26:01.500
I think he's accepting that.

04:26:01.500 --> 04:26:03.000
Oh, no, never mind.

04:26:03.000 --> 04:26:05.820
I think he understands the bomb radius better than I did.

04:26:05.820 --> 04:26:06.820
That's what I think.

04:26:06.820 --> 04:26:07.820
Well done, Shirro.

04:26:07.820 --> 04:26:08.820
He studied it.

04:26:08.820 --> 04:26:11.160
Okay, well, he retains the AWP short.

04:26:11.160 --> 04:26:13.780
When you pointed out the Zontis kit there, that's why it looks clunky that he's

04:26:13.780 --> 04:26:14.780
the one being flash forward.

04:26:14.780 --> 04:26:16.620
There was another one just towards Jail.

04:26:16.620 --> 04:26:18.380
This is weird not to see Don get a kill here.

04:26:18.380 --> 04:26:20.500
He uses the slight gap to get the elevation.

04:26:20.500 --> 04:26:22.980
Magix draws first blood, you're thinking at that moment

04:26:22.980 --> 04:26:24.540
that's where you get the most out of Don.

04:26:24.540 --> 04:26:27.220
He's able to mow them down, but no, Monizy stalls that out.

04:26:27.220 --> 04:26:28.620
Really nice kill there from Tessus,

04:26:28.620 --> 04:26:30.500
just to make sure nothing gets out of control.

04:26:30.500 --> 04:26:33.300
But it will be a buy back in thanks to that saved AWP.

04:26:33.300 --> 04:26:34.740
Everybody with the M4s.

04:26:35.340 --> 04:26:36.780
Skull Emory is 2-1.

04:26:36.780 --> 04:26:50.240
Kisuke already. This is really quick. The fact that there's no Jodonk Jiggle hasn't been

04:26:50.240 --> 04:26:51.240
blocked.

04:26:51.240 --> 04:27:03.560
He's just not aware.

04:27:03.560 --> 04:27:05.000
Shira's responsible for this though.

04:27:05.000 --> 04:27:06.840
You can see he's in between two minds.

04:27:06.840 --> 04:27:07.840
He needs to dunk acting.

04:27:07.840 --> 04:27:08.840
That's possible, surely.

04:27:08.840 --> 04:27:09.840
Yeah.

04:27:09.840 --> 04:27:10.840
No, they don't.

04:27:10.840 --> 04:27:11.840
Wow.

04:27:11.840 --> 04:27:17.760
A real rarity to see such an unprepared donk on the site.

04:27:17.760 --> 04:27:21.160
Triple, from honesty, that's mounting his presence in the serve up and he gets

04:27:21.160 --> 04:27:22.160
himself the AWP. That's all

04:27:22.160 --> 04:27:23.160
about the pace there. And I

04:27:23.160 --> 04:27:24.160
think it's a fun head-to-head

04:27:24.160 --> 04:27:25.160
kiss who can versus donk over

04:27:25.160 --> 04:27:27.160
towards e-box is going to be

04:27:27.160 --> 04:27:28.160
considering the relationship

04:27:28.160 --> 04:27:30.160
between those two. Fun to see

04:27:30.160 --> 04:27:32.160
them tussling, but I will have

04:27:32.160 --> 04:27:33.160
to be a save again this time.

04:27:33.160 --> 04:27:36.160
Two M fours. Bote loader

04:27:36.160 --> 04:27:37.160
Util and Zontik sent to near

04:27:37.160 --> 04:27:39.160
just with a smoke to his name.

04:27:39.160 --> 04:27:41.160
It's not fun if he's on ticks.

04:27:41.160 --> 04:27:42.160
He literally hasn't fired a

04:27:42.160 --> 04:27:45.160
bullet this round. He's clear.

04:27:45.160 --> 04:27:46.160
And actually neither is to

04:27:46.160 --> 04:27:48.160
near. He also hasn't had a

04:27:48.160 --> 04:27:50.160
chance to shoot, so.

04:27:50.160 --> 04:27:55.800
up to two good response from Falcons. And that's going to force a bomb site. Yeah, that's

04:27:55.800 --> 04:27:59.920
going to force you to be more, you know, proactive on your e-box. You've got to be getting answers

04:27:59.920 --> 04:28:04.400
there. Sure. I didn't feel great for the jump scare that Don Whit had the monosies

04:28:04.400 --> 04:28:19.440
triple entry. Happy with that. Kiss UK gets a, uh, that's a boy from Zonic. Really

04:28:19.440 --> 04:28:21.440
good entry here from on a seat.

04:28:21.440 --> 04:28:23.200
So this might be one of those moments if you're

04:28:23.200 --> 04:28:27.800
softfic you want to take the time out just to let the team have a chat but it

04:28:27.800 --> 04:28:30.760
doesn't look like that's going to unfold right now so these two save them fours

04:28:30.760 --> 04:28:37.560
is really all they're going to carry into this it's three USPs to compliment

04:28:37.560 --> 04:28:42.160
it if you need some are we gonna sort of the triple boost for them for okay

04:28:42.160 --> 04:28:49.400
okay it's one way to get value out of it it just feels very unlikely does

04:28:49.400 --> 04:28:53.880
that you're going to have the check you have it has to be dink dead and you're dealing with a very small window

04:28:53.880 --> 04:28:59.480
But at least I like the fact that they're trying to move right. It's not just uh, well, let's just hope we go

04:29:00.360 --> 04:29:02.680
Oh, Nico's teaser does with the x-ray

04:29:09.480 --> 04:29:12.840
I don't care about the round anymore. I just just the boost. Yeah, I just have to get to kill

04:29:12.920 --> 04:29:16.040
Well, to me. I suppose it's just called water clear. So there's info

04:29:16.040 --> 04:29:19.480
You might be thinking we've lost the b-side at this moment because it's awfully quiet

04:29:19.480 --> 04:29:22.560
But Nico will announce presence and pressure over towards a

04:29:23.320 --> 04:29:28.000
It's locked out a lurk smoke for just front baskets and they are pivoting right now to gamble

04:29:28.760 --> 04:29:31.480
The two rounds they've lost have been over towards me. Honestly just has a

04:29:32.280 --> 04:29:34.280
Very deep line with the or

04:29:34.840 --> 04:29:36.840
No one jiggling no one jump spotting

04:29:39.560 --> 04:29:42.760
Now 40 seconds is that enough to deter them and send them

04:29:42.760 --> 04:29:46.960
Also, are they going to send a probe out to A just to make sure they're not walking into a stack?

04:29:46.960 --> 04:29:48.860
Come back towards the B site.

04:29:48.860 --> 04:29:50.060
So it has to be Kixen.

04:29:50.060 --> 04:29:50.860
Yeah.

04:29:52.160 --> 04:29:54.760
30 second mark, you hear the AM4 spamming away.

04:29:54.760 --> 04:29:57.060
That's just Sontix unloading his mag to Nier as well.

04:29:57.060 --> 04:29:59.460
The unknown entity is starting to back away back to V-Box.

04:29:59.460 --> 04:30:00.360
Here we go.

04:30:00.360 --> 04:30:01.360
Have to commit now.

04:30:01.360 --> 04:30:02.860
Here it comes.

04:30:02.860 --> 04:30:04.860
A couple of flashes towards the back of Plat.

04:30:04.860 --> 04:30:06.160
Taneer hits his first.

04:30:06.160 --> 04:30:07.460
Finds Kyosuke.

04:30:07.460 --> 04:30:08.460
Tessus onto Sontix.

04:30:08.460 --> 04:30:10.160
Just Taneer's M4 to worry about.

04:30:10.160 --> 04:30:12.160
Donk does go down after a tree vault.

04:30:12.760 --> 04:30:14.760
Shiros USP not so lucky

04:30:15.880 --> 04:30:21.520
Yeah, you can understand zonics reaction you've gone into the stack and you didn't send anybody else searching for information elsewhere

04:30:21.520 --> 04:30:25.560
You don't like that from the coaching perspective. Your team has gone into a bombsite blind

04:30:25.560 --> 04:30:27.840
I understand you win the rounds so no harm no foul

04:30:27.840 --> 04:30:33.120
But you hope that that calling or at least decision-making for the team doesn't crop up more

04:30:33.640 --> 04:30:36.120
Throughout this because you very well could have lost this

04:30:37.480 --> 04:30:39.480
Got to both saved guns you're

04:30:39.480 --> 04:30:43.560
fortunate to get away with it but we are back into the rifle rounds spirit fully

04:30:43.560 --> 04:30:52.680
equipped now shiro without the orp and Pacey again look at this Wow insta boost

04:30:52.680 --> 04:30:59.240
to near down set play off of the rip so unless you're gonna do something to try

04:30:59.240 --> 04:31:03.520
and dissuade this fast parthing it looks clear that fuckers have no issue

04:31:03.520 --> 04:31:06.840
wearing up water shows it's clear that they've been put in some work here

04:31:06.840 --> 04:31:12.040
Oh, and that's enough from Tessus. He spots at least one of the two pushing out. Donken magics have a go

04:31:12.920 --> 04:31:15.160
Not forcing the issue though back into sight

04:31:18.320 --> 04:31:23.360
Santic shows give restraint but will throw out his block smoke on a main given the absence of information

04:31:23.360 --> 04:31:26.180
That buys time for shiro and magics to rotate through

04:31:26.760 --> 04:31:30.000
They're gonna all in again. They have a lot more time at this juncture

04:31:30.000 --> 04:31:34.280
But congregating four players outside a now Tessus is the only man on the look again

04:31:34.280 --> 04:31:37.280
not going into the site to see if there's an option.

04:31:37.280 --> 04:31:39.280
They could be just walking into this three-man stack.

04:31:39.280 --> 04:31:41.280
Now, if the execute is perfect, I think they'll still shred it,

04:31:41.280 --> 04:31:44.280
but this would be tough.

04:31:44.280 --> 04:31:46.280
Oh, she really went down throwing his flashbang.

04:31:46.280 --> 04:31:48.280
Zontics doesn't peek.

04:31:48.280 --> 04:31:52.280
Ready? Catches. Perfect from Zontics.

04:31:52.280 --> 04:31:54.280
Hicks in and Kiyosuke go down.

04:31:54.280 --> 04:31:56.280
Now the Molotov is thrown.

04:31:56.280 --> 04:31:58.280
Clunky.

04:31:58.280 --> 04:31:59.280
Niko, parthing into the site.

04:31:59.280 --> 04:32:01.280
It's heavily stacked, heavily fortified.

04:32:01.280 --> 04:32:04.100
fortified the magics at the back of the bombsite

04:32:05.040 --> 04:32:07.360
She ever to swing off the contact and nails it

04:32:08.640 --> 04:32:13.520
Tessus is that unknown entities on six has been high alert waiting for this and so he's rewarded to

04:32:16.320 --> 04:32:22.040
Yeah, I think take a time out of I'm Sonic and just say boys in those last two rounds we've blindly committed into sites I

04:32:22.920 --> 04:32:27.900
Understand you have the opening kill in both of them, but still it's that could happen in the previous two. So that one is

04:32:27.900 --> 04:32:34.980
is, uh, leaving a lot to be desired, but all tied up 3-3, and a great restraint for

04:32:34.980 --> 04:32:37.980
him something's not to actually play off of that flash because it wouldn't have helped

04:32:37.980 --> 04:32:41.180
him the way that Shiro would have been hoping for.

04:32:41.180 --> 04:32:44.580
Yeah, what Shiro said.

04:32:44.580 --> 04:32:45.580
Yeah.

04:32:45.580 --> 04:32:50.300
Okay, a deal for Tess S, G'lil for Kixson, Malt for Monocene, AKs for the other two.

04:32:50.300 --> 04:32:56.300
You have to be a little bit more careful, don't you, if it's near our middle.

04:32:56.300 --> 04:33:01.980
can't find yourself so exposed as an exchange of HEs but one does more

04:33:01.980 --> 04:33:07.220
damage the other than the other is on to export down to about half HP

04:33:15.180 --> 04:33:19.940
find is committed yeah he's still close

04:33:19.940 --> 04:33:23.420
gets away in time

04:33:26.300 --> 04:33:31.140
I split you so don't quite have to go through beach

04:33:32.420 --> 04:33:37.440
I think he's trying to splash this time to retreat to near close a main to receive a zon'tix

04:33:37.620 --> 04:33:43.020
Parned up. I can't fountain again is on ticks. Yeah, I'm honestly is gonna be clearing in this time peek at your own peril

04:33:44.500 --> 04:33:48.460
Oh, he's very ready for either of the fights either of the engagements

04:33:49.300 --> 04:33:53.460
Smoke fades now on camera. I suppose it's gonna be that the queue to go

04:33:56.300 --> 04:33:58.300
I

04:33:58.340 --> 04:34:04.820
Smoked to a score kicks in and Kiyosuke in a flash as well denigrant staff. Sontex's position noted by Kiyosuke's death

04:34:05.540 --> 04:34:07.540
solid into the site

04:34:08.060 --> 04:34:10.060
fourth round for Falcons

04:34:10.500 --> 04:34:15.660
Sontex did his job right obviously from found focusing on that leak through camera

04:34:15.860 --> 04:34:19.620
It's to near who after Sontex goes down. You kind of want him swinging

04:34:19.620 --> 04:34:21.980
All right, you might want you want him to be a little more offensive there

04:34:21.980 --> 04:34:23.980
But hoping to catch them off but

04:34:23.980 --> 04:34:27.580
him and don't just go down without any fight whatsoever.

04:34:27.580 --> 04:34:29.180
So Falcons will grab their fourth.

04:34:29.180 --> 04:34:30.080
And this is a new bus.

04:34:30.080 --> 04:34:32.980
We are looking for the lion share arounds on the T side,

04:34:32.980 --> 04:34:38.780
but only just 7584 type of scoreline would be pretty comfortable

04:34:38.780 --> 04:34:40.780
if your Falcons going into the halftime switch.

04:34:46.180 --> 04:34:49.180
I don't have a save and with that in mind, it does mean that

04:34:49.180 --> 04:34:52.180
Spirit are only needing to get himself a handful of more rounds.

04:34:52.180 --> 04:34:57.180
So this is a big save, there's two drops available, Magix and Shiro can give 10 falls over.

04:35:05.180 --> 04:35:09.180
The only source of opening kills for Falcon so far has been Monosy.

04:35:13.180 --> 04:35:19.180
Not an opening, but a nice catch onto Zontics that really did start the dominoes to top up.

04:35:19.180 --> 04:35:25.780
Yeah, I don't think Teneir quite understood the situation there because Donk wasn't able to cover him with that

04:35:26.440 --> 04:35:28.440
Set of utile that was being lobbed in

04:35:29.740 --> 04:35:32.500
My magic sounds the MP9 selfless and the pace

04:35:32.940 --> 04:35:35.540
Yeah, he is charging straight in

04:35:36.700 --> 04:35:40.700
Teneir gets booked Red Guard kicks in the referee

04:35:42.460 --> 04:35:43.740
That was rapid, okay

04:35:43.740 --> 04:35:47.820
Well the flash into the double headshot Teneir is giving away another over here

04:35:47.820 --> 04:35:49.940
and he's having a tough go at things in the middle of the moment.

04:35:49.940 --> 04:35:51.180
Yeah, he is.

04:35:51.180 --> 04:35:53.740
Kixson's having a round.

04:35:53.740 --> 04:35:57.100
Over the top, you thought that was a favorable duel for Kiyosuke,

04:35:57.100 --> 04:35:58.980
but not to be the case, Donk.

04:35:58.980 --> 04:36:00.420
Wins it out, gets one.

04:36:00.420 --> 04:36:00.920
Jack.

04:36:00.920 --> 04:36:02.420
He's got a company on either side right now.

04:36:02.420 --> 04:36:05.300
Yeah, but this is the kind of fight that Shiro can pull off.

04:36:05.300 --> 04:36:06.180
He's got support now.

04:36:06.180 --> 04:36:08.100
Donk has arrived.

04:36:08.100 --> 04:36:09.900
Now, Smoke's supposed to buy him some space.

04:36:09.900 --> 04:36:11.300
Still concerned about the smoke push,

04:36:11.300 --> 04:36:12.940
understandably, after Kixson's impact,

04:36:12.940 --> 04:36:14.740
and Kixson gets another one.

04:36:14.740 --> 04:36:16.700
But the B site's called clear thanks to Tess S.

04:36:16.700 --> 04:36:18.160
So the bomb is gonna head back through canal

04:36:18.160 --> 04:36:23.420
They're not just gonna head into the bombsite blindly like we've seen throughout and Don can shiro or backing off kicks

04:36:23.420 --> 04:36:27.100
It could be on for the ace he could very well be on for the ace if he gets donkey's gotta be done off the leash

04:36:28.140 --> 04:36:36.540
Tessus hey, come on. Oh my god. That's just unacceptable. My parting gift. Yeah, let him have the ace against team spirit. No less

04:36:37.460 --> 04:36:39.140
How rude

04:36:39.140 --> 04:36:42.100
See if shiro can hold on to this money is gonna be a problem into the next

04:36:42.100 --> 04:36:45.100
They were lucky to save some and have that residual cash bit.

04:36:45.100 --> 04:36:46.100
That's good.

04:36:46.100 --> 04:36:48.100
That made it look so good.

04:36:48.100 --> 04:36:49.100
Do you see one from Tess S?

04:36:49.100 --> 04:36:52.100
Geez, that's straight on their face.

04:36:52.100 --> 04:36:56.100
Kixson's got one side and Tess is approaching from the other.

04:36:56.100 --> 04:36:58.100
That doesn't look good for Shiro, does it?

04:36:58.100 --> 04:37:03.100
So this is them losing it all and with 2400 injections.

04:37:03.100 --> 04:37:04.100
So that's going to be that.

04:37:04.100 --> 04:37:06.100
They are going to have to take an eco.

04:37:06.100 --> 04:37:08.100
Five rounds already for Falcons to the three

04:37:08.100 --> 04:37:11.100
and that's with the pistol and the conversion for Spirit.

04:37:11.100 --> 04:37:14.940
Timeout taken, stopic on the mic and just a good opportunity to take a breath and assess.

04:37:14.940 --> 04:37:18.860
Hey, Huff's not over yet, still very early stages and we're on the CT side of Anubis.

04:37:18.860 --> 04:37:20.860
So let's just get one or two more if we can boys.

04:37:20.860 --> 04:37:27.740
Here it is in the replay. A minute 42 and he is already completely shredding to the

04:37:27.740 --> 04:37:30.940
out of his life. I love that in-game leader set up for success.

04:37:33.660 --> 04:37:35.420
He gets the job done, great work.

04:37:35.420 --> 04:37:45.420
I think you're probably asking yourself if you're something how is my mid player just lost control of middle that quickly

04:37:48.420 --> 04:37:52.420
So six should be all but a certainty right now

04:37:56.420 --> 04:37:59.420
Couple of upgrades at Eagle for darker P250 for Zontics

04:37:59.420 --> 04:38:03.620
Tenors boarded with the Diggle as well and there's a light smattering of you

04:38:03.620 --> 04:38:07.580
sort of try and block some of these choke points sure.

04:38:08.100 --> 04:38:13.940
4-1 Donk, over towards B on his own. You can see him here probing B main and the

04:38:13.940 --> 04:38:17.900
rest of the team congregating over towards A.

04:38:17.900 --> 04:38:32.540
I'm going to throw the smoke in that fashion because Nico is going to know the trajectory

04:38:32.540 --> 04:38:36.120
of that and he's going to say okay maybe they're playing heavy mid right because you're throwing

04:38:36.120 --> 04:38:40.860
that close to the camera rotation.

04:38:40.860 --> 04:38:50.300
can relay that it's not mid-heavy. Just a gamble on A. Just putting a lot of trust in the armadeagle

04:38:50.300 --> 04:38:58.380
of Donk. Just don't have any way to flood out of A main on the CT side. They didn't have a flash,

04:38:58.380 --> 04:39:05.420
so there will have to be bodies. Niko trying to get some answers, but isn't given anything.

04:39:05.420 --> 04:39:09.420
I'm starting to wear into this B-split.

04:39:09.420 --> 04:39:13.420
Oh, I was on dark.

04:39:13.420 --> 04:39:16.420
No molly on the pillar.

04:39:16.420 --> 04:39:18.420
Oh, there is now.

04:39:18.420 --> 04:39:20.420
Close B main.

04:39:20.420 --> 04:39:23.420
Too much to handle. Nice quick shot out of monosy.

04:39:23.420 --> 04:39:26.420
That was rapid.

04:39:26.420 --> 04:39:29.420
Alright, well, if you spear it, now just group up and look for an exit or two.

04:39:29.420 --> 04:39:32.420
See if you can get yourself a NK47 to salvage and take it to the next.

04:39:32.420 --> 04:39:37.180
Maybe keep a bit of pressure on the finances the right-hand side of your screen you can see at the moment

04:39:37.860 --> 04:39:39.620
6.3 on Nico

04:39:39.620 --> 04:39:42.780
5.3 on Tessus. That's the high end if you get a couple of kills that'll be great

04:39:42.780 --> 04:39:47.060
But it doesn't look like that's going to be happening so their cash is going to start to boom in a moment

04:39:47.060 --> 04:40:01.540
I wonder if this will be taking on vitality.

04:40:01.540 --> 04:40:05.660
Not only that, they locked themselves in for the playoffs, which is the mission.

04:40:05.660 --> 04:40:07.100
Get to play in front of the Brazilian crowd.

04:40:07.100 --> 04:40:08.460
We need Fiora to do the same.

04:40:08.460 --> 04:40:12.700
Now, whether that's against Navi later, or it's going to have to be a lower bracket

04:40:12.700 --> 04:40:14.980
running group beat, we'll find out later today.

04:40:14.980 --> 04:40:16.980
That's how they clean house

04:40:17.980 --> 04:40:19.980
Kicks and gets a couple more kills

04:40:22.180 --> 04:40:28.700
And there's that three round gap, but the rifles are re-equipped shiro and magics double-alping and I think this is one of the maps where

04:40:29.940 --> 04:40:35.460
Double-alp is quite nice for the CT side right there's already a lot of pressure on you in terms of the push pull of mid and connector

04:40:35.980 --> 04:40:41.980
Skirmishers having double alps in the mix means that you're able to hold on to that you to or at least funnel it in one direction

04:40:44.980 --> 04:40:52.740
Wow, fast and Molotov thrown out actually stops you from accessing EBOX.

04:40:52.740 --> 04:40:56.620
Big swing out of Zontics, Nico wins by a hair.

04:40:56.620 --> 04:40:58.460
Was there meant to be a flash?

04:40:58.460 --> 04:40:59.860
Some U2 there or something?

04:40:59.860 --> 04:41:01.860
One would assume.

04:41:01.860 --> 04:41:04.140
Well, you just run and dry, are you?

04:41:04.140 --> 04:41:06.460
That's very uncharacteristic as well.

04:41:06.460 --> 04:41:07.460
Yeah.

04:41:07.460 --> 04:41:08.460
Oh gosh, flash caught Siro.

04:41:08.460 --> 04:41:12.820
He nearly got caught off by the Kiyosuke push.

04:41:12.820 --> 04:41:13.820
What was the...

04:41:13.820 --> 04:41:18.080
I don't know. I mean, there must have been a flash, like, discussed.

04:41:18.680 --> 04:41:22.820
Oh, Warzontics really just has had enough of Niko knocking on that A main door.

04:41:22.820 --> 04:41:25.320
Maybe. That's an odd death right there for Zontics.

04:41:25.920 --> 04:41:28.320
And they've completely evacuated the A site, so...

04:41:28.820 --> 04:41:31.120
Very strong position, Falcans on this T side.

04:41:31.120 --> 04:41:32.420
Hang on, clawback's coming.

04:41:33.320 --> 04:41:35.820
Jiro on the right line, catches Kixon's progression.

04:41:36.320 --> 04:41:38.020
Audible return to the A site.

04:41:38.020 --> 04:41:49.680
So they're going to throw some of you to try and fake this?

04:41:49.680 --> 04:41:50.680
You hear the orb fire off?

04:41:50.680 --> 04:41:52.900
You're going to assume honestly he's not alone, aren't you?

04:41:52.900 --> 04:41:54.480
So Nico's going to try and sell this.

04:41:54.480 --> 04:41:57.480
He's got Donk, camera, Tani, and Shiroe.

04:41:57.480 --> 04:42:00.440
It's just this magic sword.

04:42:00.440 --> 04:42:01.440
So save.

04:42:01.440 --> 04:42:04.600
I'm not sure how you meant to get in.

04:42:04.600 --> 04:42:05.880
I know the bomb's not planted yet.

04:42:05.880 --> 04:42:08.380
to do gets this one. Now definitely safe.

04:42:09.880 --> 04:42:12.580
I'm kind of enjoying what we're watching from markets right now.

04:42:15.280 --> 04:42:18.280
They renew. This has got some polish on it. The cons look like they're flowing.

04:42:18.980 --> 04:42:20.080
Hello. Oh, he's going in.

04:42:20.780 --> 04:42:22.580
She wrote fancies as chances.

04:42:24.580 --> 04:42:28.480
The rare moment of shiro aggression. Yeah. Now he's lost his open to smoke.

04:42:29.880 --> 04:42:31.080
But I think one of theirs.

04:42:31.480 --> 04:42:35.480
Oh, so maybe they've lost him in the source, right? And they start backpedaling.

04:42:35.480 --> 04:42:39.180
Trying to find it but two for monosite to finico and that'll be the seventh round

04:42:39.180 --> 04:42:45.180
There's again it would just have to be another lighter by before spirit can bring out the guns to see if they can get themselves something in

04:42:45.180 --> 04:42:46.080
Round 12

04:42:46.080 --> 04:42:51.560
What's your path for the course if you're in a new misty picking CT in that I'm sorry for new misty four, okay?

04:42:53.480 --> 04:43:01.240
He'd be picking it you know that this map in an absolute worst-case scenario is extremely difficult for the CT side

04:43:01.240 --> 04:43:10.440
right. Things are going very well for Falcons. Monty won't pick a main getting stuck in immediately

04:43:10.440 --> 04:43:17.360
this time. So what's the flash? Another look the flash this time does make it a more favorable

04:43:17.360 --> 04:43:23.800
endeavor. I'll go ahead of that. Niko has baskets control.

04:43:23.800 --> 04:43:29.840
There are other pieces in the right place if there was a commitment here they'll let

04:43:29.840 --> 04:43:33.120
Monossey search and search successful.

04:43:33.120 --> 04:43:38.600
She's all the double and she's made aggressive on the 5-7 as well, Kiyosuke's got a lot of

04:43:38.600 --> 04:43:39.600
work to do.

04:43:39.600 --> 04:43:42.520
He's going to get run out, he's going to get run out, put your nades away, get that

04:43:42.520 --> 04:43:47.040
gun out, because Tom's got his dig pushing in, combination with Shiro, Spirit have a

04:43:47.040 --> 04:43:48.040
1v3.

04:43:48.040 --> 04:43:51.040
They got the bomb and they have no idea where Tessus is, but they can make some

04:43:51.040 --> 04:43:52.040
educated guesses.

04:43:52.040 --> 04:43:55.240
normally defaulting outside of B, right? Here he finds himself in middle.

04:43:56.740 --> 04:43:59.840
Tess, that's 55 seconds. Plenty of time to work through the clutch.

04:44:00.340 --> 04:44:02.840
Yeah, sure, the bomb is in a tough spot, but this is

04:44:04.040 --> 04:44:06.140
potentially favourable, right? Because

04:44:07.240 --> 04:44:10.740
it eliminates all of the angles. You know, it kind of helps you hone in on,

04:44:10.740 --> 04:44:13.240
oh, okay, what type of positions do I have to deal with while trying to

04:44:13.840 --> 04:44:15.340
be on this reconnaissance mission?

04:44:18.240 --> 04:44:21.040
Just looks away. Perfect timing on the Magics push.

04:44:21.040 --> 04:44:24.880
I thought he wasn't going to move, which I would have respected a lot because you let the other guys take the fight.

04:44:24.880 --> 04:44:28.080
If you are, then you have him sandwiched, but Magix finds a perfect timing.

04:44:28.880 --> 04:44:30.840
And they have been able to slip in that fourth.

04:44:30.840 --> 04:44:32.980
Can they grab the fifth before the halftime break?

04:44:32.980 --> 04:44:34.240
There's a well-structured ground, wasn't it?

04:44:34.240 --> 04:44:35.880
You can see these HEs just so good.

04:44:35.880 --> 04:44:36.680
Ouch.

04:44:36.680 --> 04:44:38.680
Right between three of them.

04:44:38.680 --> 04:44:40.780
And Taneer makes the most of it. Such profit.

04:44:42.280 --> 04:44:45.280
Considering a couple of the shaky moments, Taneer's had, that's a nice bit of output there.

04:44:47.480 --> 04:44:48.480
Don't relatively quiet.

04:44:48.480 --> 04:44:50.540
I'm sure that'll change once we get him on the T side.

04:44:50.540 --> 04:44:53.200
Oh, they're pushing. Oh, Tanea melting dead.

04:44:54.700 --> 04:45:02.400
Honestly, with overkill, but exposed and don't pushing through the E-box smoke finds the headshot necessary, puts us into an immediate four on four.

04:45:02.400 --> 04:45:04.200
So already the dynamic shifts.

04:45:04.200 --> 04:45:06.200
Shiro is posted on B main.

04:45:06.200 --> 04:45:12.800
Tessus, if he goes any further than this line in the sand drawn, Shiro would have been in a position to get that shot now, and not...

04:45:12.800 --> 04:45:16.400
Oh, no! Oh, the timing is agonizing!

04:45:16.400 --> 04:45:19.360
Shiro's all no longer in the pitch up

04:45:20.040 --> 04:45:26.080
Forced to dunk magics in Zontics who up all over the shot magics attempting to rotate over to fortify this beat of

04:45:26.080 --> 04:45:29.820
That's what I'll look what that kill is achieved and the bomb is gonna be walking into hey

04:45:32.320 --> 04:45:37.780
Something is so unprepared for this. He's got his back turn just walked in a dry with all those nades

04:45:38.800 --> 04:45:40.800
Okay, well

04:45:41.040 --> 04:45:44.520
Tessus is kill on shiro has made this round look so casual

04:45:46.400 --> 04:45:52.740
I'm sure he's doing. Obviously

04:45:52.740 --> 04:45:54.540
to near mid push didn't also

04:45:54.540 --> 04:45:55.580
help, but don't manage to make

04:45:55.580 --> 04:45:56.580
that a four on four quickly.

04:45:56.580 --> 04:45:58.540
And now tests parked hoping to

04:45:58.540 --> 04:46:01.580
catch Magix back exposed

04:46:01.580 --> 04:46:04.580
beautiful. Look at that eight

04:46:04.580 --> 04:46:06.620
four half. Two spirits, Matt

04:46:06.620 --> 04:46:08.620
pick make no mistake. Don't

04:46:08.620 --> 04:46:10.620
give it a go in the clutch

04:46:10.620 --> 04:46:13.620
brother ace clutch. Oh, he's

04:46:13.620 --> 04:46:15.620
Dude, there's a whole lot more of this.

04:47:13.620 --> 04:47:34.620
When you come around, my heart is swimming down Don't want my love to be in it, I just wanna feel whole again

04:47:34.620 --> 04:47:42.620
yeah, when you come around, my heart is bursting out

04:47:42.620 --> 04:47:50.620
I don't wanna be strangers in these days, cosmic life for seamless truth

04:47:50.620 --> 04:48:00.620
I swear I saw the light, I pushed the body, flying saucin' out of space

04:48:00.620 --> 04:48:05.620
Only you love can't bring me face to face with you

04:48:05.620 --> 04:48:09.620
I swear I saw your eyes

04:48:09.620 --> 04:48:11.620
I felt it coming

04:48:11.620 --> 04:48:15.620
You were full that I could taste

04:48:15.620 --> 04:48:21.620
Only you love can't bring me face to face with you

04:48:24.620 --> 04:48:28.620
I swear I saw the sun and you represented

04:48:28.620 --> 04:48:31.580
Bad thoughts are on the horizon

04:48:31.580 --> 04:48:34.860
So I call the doctor, said I need you real

04:48:34.860 --> 04:48:39.420
The doctor, you cheated, I think you might be real

04:48:39.420 --> 04:48:43.420
I swear to somebody, you're out of my soul

04:48:43.420 --> 04:48:46.620
But it blips, we're all colliders

04:48:46.620 --> 04:48:50.060
So I call the doctor, said I need you real

04:48:50.060 --> 04:48:54.540
The doctor, you cheated, I think you might be real

04:49:28.620 --> 04:49:42.620
8-4 on the half, and a whole lot of openers coming out of monosy.

04:49:42.620 --> 04:49:45.620
He's 6-1 involved in 7, wins 6.

04:49:45.620 --> 04:49:49.620
An attempt at all crazy blood from Donk with the tail end of the half.

04:49:49.620 --> 04:49:53.620
We're on a new miss, it's Spirits pick, and we swapped Falcons over to the CT side.

04:49:53.620 --> 04:49:56.620
They've got an 8 under their belt, they've set them up pretty reasonable.

04:49:56.620 --> 04:50:01.140
It's going to have to be both pistols for Spirit, I think.

04:50:01.140 --> 04:50:04.260
He hit the ground running on this tee half.

04:50:04.260 --> 04:50:08.300
We've got a plant, two smokes, not a lot of two flashes.

04:50:08.300 --> 04:50:11.860
And there's three players, though, on this A side to deal with, Testes with a flash at

04:50:11.860 --> 04:50:12.860
the ready.

04:50:12.860 --> 04:50:15.420
Ooh, if you give any sort of indication.

04:50:15.420 --> 04:50:16.980
Kixen has full B main info.

04:50:16.980 --> 04:50:17.980
They have a good idea.

04:50:17.980 --> 04:50:20.140
Oh, he brings the fight ahead of the plate.

04:50:20.140 --> 04:50:21.140
He removes Zontik.

04:50:21.140 --> 04:50:22.640
That's crazy for monosy.

04:50:22.640 --> 04:50:23.640
Donkel, punish.

04:50:23.640 --> 04:50:24.640
The double swing.

04:50:24.640 --> 04:50:26.140
Niko down to Donk.

04:50:26.140 --> 04:50:27.860
No, Tessus is here, he threw a flash.

04:50:27.860 --> 04:50:28.860
That's right.

04:50:28.860 --> 04:50:32.500
Tessus might be able to use that smoke to his own advantage here.

04:50:32.500 --> 04:50:33.500
Oh, no.

04:50:33.500 --> 04:50:34.500
Yeah, dips away from the flame?

04:50:34.500 --> 04:50:35.500
No, no, he doesn't.

04:50:35.500 --> 04:50:39.860
Now, he's it wide on the right-hand side.

04:50:39.860 --> 04:50:40.860
Three versus three.

04:50:40.860 --> 04:50:42.860
A shot to near spot him.

04:50:42.860 --> 04:50:46.340
Nice shot from Kiyosuke, chips him from the camera, sidekicks and Spell Run.

04:50:46.340 --> 04:50:47.820
Damage inflicted from those USP's.

04:50:47.820 --> 04:50:49.380
Magics doesn't have the perfect weapons.

04:50:49.380 --> 04:50:52.940
He picked up a scavenged monocies dual barrettas, but at range it's not the

04:50:52.940 --> 04:50:53.940
fight.

04:50:53.940 --> 04:50:54.940
It's not the weapon.

04:50:54.940 --> 04:50:58.380
Still you got to deal with Dong, Tessus not playing a scared, they'll triple swing him.

04:50:58.380 --> 04:51:00.700
It's Kiyosuke the lead to the triple kill.

04:51:00.700 --> 04:51:05.220
Okay, well, honestly, just continuing to be the pointy end of the spear, isn't it?

04:51:05.220 --> 04:51:10.300
Those opening start lines, you just mentioned 6-1, now go 7-1 with that A main aggression.

04:51:10.300 --> 04:51:14.700
And well, no bomb going down means if there is a force coming through, it's going to

04:51:14.700 --> 04:51:16.700
be lacking rifles, that's for sure.

04:51:16.700 --> 04:51:19.780
That's so ambitious from, honestly, I have admiration for it.

04:51:19.780 --> 04:51:21.300
Good shot as well from Kiyosuke.

04:51:21.300 --> 04:51:22.980
Haven't said his name too much.

04:51:22.980 --> 04:51:24.700
Most impact we've seen from him here on the pistol.

04:51:24.700 --> 04:51:29.700
I thought that smoke might have given an opportunity like, hey, I'll just sell magics.

04:51:29.700 --> 04:51:32.580
Right. I think Donk had the bomb and try and rotate away.

04:51:32.580 --> 04:51:37.340
But I was on six looking at the coach.

04:51:39.080 --> 04:51:43.960
Obviously being the coach of the academy, he's had these names come through

04:51:44.360 --> 04:51:45.700
his teams once upon a time.

04:51:45.700 --> 04:51:47.000
He had an interview with Agile TV.

04:51:47.000 --> 04:51:49.000
I say, you know, he's familiar with the boys.

04:51:49.000 --> 04:51:50.900
I didn't know that.

04:51:50.900 --> 04:51:52.500
Tess is trying to play this jiggle smoke defense.

04:51:52.500 --> 04:51:54.780
How rarely I see that work these days.

04:51:54.780 --> 04:51:55.820
There's a so good at it.

04:51:55.820 --> 04:51:57.820
It's just it's it's tough.

04:51:57.820 --> 04:52:02.020
Like if you get caught on the way back in, yeah, you're safe.

04:52:02.340 --> 04:52:06.940
But if you're on the way out, leaving, yeah, you're in trouble.

04:52:09.580 --> 04:52:11.340
Because you're just in motion, perpetual.

04:52:11.340 --> 04:52:13.180
You're hoping to be able to catch that window.

04:52:13.180 --> 04:52:15.740
Honestly, again, he's just keeps moving.

04:52:15.740 --> 04:52:17.740
OK, I'm intrigued if he goes B.

04:52:19.300 --> 04:52:20.100
Good turn of the flash.

04:52:20.100 --> 04:52:22.100
How are you? Well, now only one from Kixon.

04:52:22.500 --> 04:52:30.000
Flank comes in, messy on the M4 spray, Bomb makes his way in but they've lost Donk, Shiro are good for the trade so a 2 on 2 established and...

04:52:30.000 --> 04:52:31.000
I think he had a smoke.

04:52:31.000 --> 04:52:32.500
Yeah, the bomb will go down.

04:52:32.500 --> 04:52:34.000
Monosy second guess in the swear game.

04:52:34.000 --> 04:52:36.000
Oh, he's won the duel versus Shiro.

04:52:36.000 --> 04:52:39.500
Takes the time to reload as Magix has got a come up clutch.

04:52:39.500 --> 04:52:40.000
Buttered?

04:52:40.000 --> 04:52:46.000
Yeah, Spidey emerging from the smoke wants to try and isolate these duels peeking back into Monosy seems like a death sentence, he's on his A game to date.

04:52:47.000 --> 04:52:50.000
Magix six frags but needs to make it eight.

04:52:50.000 --> 04:52:56.920
First is good. Niko, audible. Tech 9 going to be nimble. Looking perfect. Looking like

04:52:56.920 --> 04:53:02.600
a clutch for Magics. Can't hack it. Can't handle it. Niko's Falmas wins out, and Falcons

04:53:02.600 --> 04:53:04.960
find double digits early doors.

04:53:04.960 --> 04:53:08.440
Yeah, that's a 10 second defuse there. If he was able to delay it for just a little

04:53:08.440 --> 04:53:12.200
bit longer, it could have been a borouss. But the bomb going down with one player

04:53:12.200 --> 04:53:16.320
staying alive, there is the real opportunity now for Spirit to go for back-to-back

04:53:16.320 --> 04:53:20.280
force blasts. I like the way Magics played this, right? Not overexposing, not trying to

04:53:20.280 --> 04:53:24.120
see that those fights, drawing back, allowing them to force the fight against him, so very

04:53:24.120 --> 04:53:34.960
good attempt. And it is going to be the force. So, Donkey with an AK, Galil's four Magics

04:53:34.960 --> 04:53:40.280
and Shiro, Xontix, and Teneir working with a little bit less. You can shatter the money

04:53:40.280 --> 04:53:43.360
with this one. Look at this mid push. Look at this mid push.

04:53:43.360 --> 04:53:49.880
Yes. Magic's on high alert. Today it just turns around to its demise. Magic's only the one.

04:53:49.880 --> 04:53:55.920
Okay, it could be open. Zontics has got a sneaking suspicion with all that mid aggression.

04:53:55.920 --> 04:53:59.560
The fact Tessus is in the kill feed mid pushed. They know they can just seize all

04:53:59.560 --> 04:54:05.440
this map territory, so you will get the bomb in.

04:54:05.440 --> 04:54:11.760
Donk doesn't return the fire from Tessus' spam through the smoke.

04:54:11.760 --> 04:54:13.200
Kixson's still on B.

04:54:13.200 --> 04:54:14.840
Kixson can't break the lock.

04:54:14.840 --> 04:54:16.080
Oh, he's found Donk.

04:54:16.080 --> 04:54:18.600
Trained by the MP7 of Zontics.

04:54:18.600 --> 04:54:19.960
High alert.

04:54:19.960 --> 04:54:22.480
They know where Tessus was.

04:54:22.480 --> 04:54:23.480
Kixson's the unknown entity.

04:54:23.480 --> 04:54:24.480
And he's got this kit.

04:54:24.480 --> 04:54:25.480
They're going to give this a look.

04:54:25.480 --> 04:54:26.480
The fade.

04:54:26.480 --> 04:54:27.480
Tessus wins out.

04:54:27.480 --> 04:54:28.480
Tessus.

04:54:28.480 --> 04:54:29.480
Looking very solid.

04:54:29.480 --> 04:54:30.480
Starts in mid.

04:54:30.480 --> 04:54:31.480
Looking to end on A.

04:54:31.480 --> 04:54:33.080
Shiro in the clutch though.

04:54:33.080 --> 04:54:34.080
This is what he's good for.

04:54:34.080 --> 04:54:41.320
Oh, maybe not today. Maybe not today. Kixson's done the damage necessary and the maid from the grave makes it 11

04:54:42.040 --> 04:54:47.320
That's likely just another four spy. They got the bomb done again. They get more loss bonus now

04:54:47.320 --> 04:54:50.040
So it might be more of the same here the fuse

04:54:50.640 --> 04:54:54.040
Coming through and all it felt good for spirit

04:54:54.040 --> 04:54:58.200
It was a great reaction right to the skirmish that happened in middle that the round was brought to them

04:54:58.360 --> 04:54:59.760
Here it is again

04:54:59.760 --> 04:55:04.440
Maybe over the shoulder canton here goes down magic. It's one the tray comes back in dogs found monosy

04:55:04.800 --> 04:55:08.040
Name plate counter strike flows in they get into the side. They get the bomb down

04:55:08.040 --> 04:55:13.080
But I think that test is kill on to zontics is the big difference maker. Yeah, I'm so miserable for shiro

04:55:13.080 --> 04:55:17.560
It's just it's also it shows you they had no idea where the retakes coming in from yeah

04:55:17.560 --> 04:55:20.420
The fact that they're not connected and not set up to be able to trade off of each other

04:55:21.240 --> 04:55:23.240
Regardless guns out one more time

04:55:23.760 --> 04:55:27.820
Only two more rounds for Falcons. This is looking like a bit of a drubbing if you're a spirit fan

04:55:27.820 --> 04:55:33.420
and solid counter strike across the board. Sure, monies. He's got 15 frags. He's at the top, but

04:55:33.420 --> 04:55:38.620
Kixson's had some really nice moments. Kiyosuke has had impact 3k on the pistol. Tess has had some important ones.

04:55:44.220 --> 04:55:48.060
Nico obviously with the clutch against Magix, right? They only got eight kills, but that winning

04:55:48.060 --> 04:55:49.340
out that round is still impact.

04:55:57.820 --> 04:56:02.980
Tess has seen his that, so he's baiting in, but Tess wins again in this head-to-head,

04:56:02.980 --> 04:56:10.580
his people ongoing, the flash layered with the incendiary has dunked back, finds himself

04:56:10.580 --> 04:56:15.580
a nice AK-47.

04:56:15.580 --> 04:56:21.740
Feeling like this one is done.

04:56:21.740 --> 04:56:22.740
Yeah.

04:56:22.740 --> 04:56:27.340
I understand it's 4v5, they're grouping up now for what will be an A-piece, they have

04:56:27.340 --> 04:56:32.940
smoke on Tenir, a molly on Magix. So having at least to be blocked.

04:56:32.940 --> 04:56:37.260
Oh, the Tessus blocker? I think he's given himself a gap.

04:56:37.260 --> 04:56:41.100
He's shunted it somewhere. No, still not. I mean, it's fragile on

04:56:41.100 --> 04:56:45.820
the edge of the smoke. He can spam it like he is. Didn't spot too much. They are committing

04:56:45.820 --> 04:56:50.300
it. I'm honestly, wow, wins out. Denies donk anything on the entry.

04:56:50.300 --> 04:56:54.700
The Horton from Magix on the trade back, but Niko, everybody here, just sends them

04:56:54.700 --> 04:56:56.620
back to spawn. This is dominant.

04:56:56.620 --> 04:56:58.620
All right, well done

04:56:59.700 --> 04:57:02.900
That's one more round this time no bomb plant man

04:57:02.900 --> 04:57:04.900
He's a lost bonus. It's where you want it to be

04:57:05.460 --> 04:57:09.560
Max on out, but that is the least competitive of the round so far in this second half of play

04:57:09.860 --> 04:57:15.900
Pistol there's two pleasure Falcons alive the following two there was only one and this one you've managed to keep all fire as all four alive

04:57:15.900 --> 04:57:17.900
Excuse me

04:57:19.340 --> 04:57:21.340
After the magics trade

04:57:21.940 --> 04:57:24.660
They're just gonna keep shoving so the new this pick not going

04:57:24.660 --> 04:57:29.940
But as they would have hoped, just one more round now and we can spill over quickly into

04:57:29.940 --> 04:57:45.940
Mirage, the map choice of Falcons.

04:57:45.940 --> 04:57:50.900
Plus his brave from Tessus to play ahead of it, he has to just sit and hope and count

04:57:50.900 --> 04:57:52.900
then no one's going to be going contact through a smoke.

04:57:58.400 --> 04:57:59.900
Pack heavy on the- oh!

04:58:00.900 --> 04:58:02.400
Just throwing incendiary for Nico.

04:58:03.900 --> 04:58:06.400
Oh, there's still another bait and switch, monocies there with him.

04:58:07.400 --> 04:58:09.400
Too easy for monocy!

04:58:09.400 --> 04:58:13.400
What is that? A quad kill spray to end the game?

04:58:13.900 --> 04:58:16.400
That's the Nubis finished swift!

04:58:16.400 --> 04:58:30.400
Oh, we had a long old series to kick off the day, but that one opened with a blower as well, 13-4 in favour of Falcons on their opponents' map choice, one map away from locking in a matchup against Vitality and the arena.

04:58:33.400 --> 04:58:40.400
Well, would you have it? Would you look at that? And would you have your cake and eat it too? That's exactly what Spirit looks to do Falcons as well.

04:58:40.400 --> 04:58:46.760
Well, I mean, overall in this series Jacob, I have to say, all eyes are tinted on the prospects of this game.

04:58:46.760 --> 04:58:50.000
Yeah, I did not anticipate that to be the outcome of this game.

04:58:50.000 --> 04:58:54.320
Dominant performance from Falcons, who for the vast majority of this game looked very solid.

04:58:54.320 --> 04:58:59.360
They say that a couple of misses, a couple of blunders, you know, but when you look overall in the scoreline,

04:58:59.360 --> 04:59:04.960
winning 13-4 on your opponent's map pig, you can't really say anything negative about that performance.

04:59:04.960 --> 04:59:09.000
He spoke a bit about Kyushu coming into the game, he had a strong showing, had some very impactful rounds,

04:59:09.000 --> 04:59:11.520
And overall, you know, Spirit looking

04:59:12.760 --> 04:59:14.480
is a Pismo on their own mapping right now.

04:59:14.480 --> 04:59:15.640
It's just classic, man.

04:59:15.640 --> 04:59:18.360
Isn't it, you know, Falcon's about to make a roster change

04:59:18.360 --> 04:59:20.680
and they're playing their best CS this year, right?

04:59:20.680 --> 04:59:21.840
With no pressure there.

04:59:21.840 --> 04:59:24.720
And then everyone just sort of going with the flow

04:59:24.720 --> 04:59:26.640
in some ways, right?

04:59:26.640 --> 04:59:29.640
You lose pistol, the anti-equal doesn't really matter.

04:59:29.640 --> 04:59:30.720
Still win eight rounds.

04:59:30.720 --> 04:59:32.960
And the two losses outside of the pistol

04:59:32.960 --> 04:59:34.800
in the second round were, you know,

04:59:34.800 --> 04:59:38.360
Spirit stacking in a 4v5 and winning that round.

04:59:38.360 --> 04:59:44.960
and then a half-buy win as well with another sort of good read, a good early stack and then converting the 3v3.

04:59:44.960 --> 04:59:48.260
So, yeah, just funny really.

04:59:48.260 --> 04:59:52.260
And pro-activity from the Falcon side too, we saw him on his get the AWP, they did a quick boost right there,

04:59:52.260 --> 04:59:55.460
sort of get a remedy for some of the problems that they were getting in the middle.

04:59:55.460 --> 04:59:58.360
There was a lot of aggression, a lot of in-your-face that Spirit were throwing their way, Jake.

04:59:58.360 --> 05:00:01.260
Yeah, I think Janko hit it pretty well, you know, saying that the go with the flow,

05:00:01.260 --> 05:00:03.260
you know, they seemed freed up to some degree.

05:00:03.260 --> 05:00:07.260
I think the way Monacy played, the way he was proactively pushing also with the rifle,

05:00:07.260 --> 05:00:11.260
We saw it in the middle, just going for information plays and being very aggressive.

05:00:11.260 --> 05:00:17.260
I don't know if it's the lack of pressure, if it's just a one-off here in one map against Team Spirit.

05:00:17.260 --> 05:00:20.260
I don't know how much of it is Spirit not playing well on Anubis either.

05:00:20.260 --> 05:00:24.260
I think it's too early still to conclude anything overall for the tournament.

05:00:24.260 --> 05:00:28.260
But so far Falcons in particular here in Anubis looking great and they seem freed up.

05:00:28.260 --> 05:00:31.260
Monizzi seemed freed up, Kyusuke seemed freed up, even though he made.

05:00:31.260 --> 05:00:36.260
I think Kyusuke a couple of blunders in his decision making as we kind of spoke about coming into the game as well.

05:00:36.260 --> 05:00:40.260
What he doesn't have in decision making, he definitely have a mechanical skill and made up for it in this game.

05:00:40.260 --> 05:00:48.260
Yeah, absolutely. And I think also this is why for Spirit you're like, you're trying to be like a really an anubis team,

05:00:48.260 --> 05:00:52.260
so you're going to pick it against you know Falcons and Metallity and maybe some of these tier 1 teams.

05:00:52.260 --> 05:00:58.260
They did the same against Parryvision at Rotterdam and they lost I think 13-3 or something along those lines.

05:00:58.260 --> 05:01:02.260
Like it hasn't necessarily panned out and you're thinking you have Donk on your team,

05:01:02.260 --> 05:01:06.300
Maybe focus more on some of the open maps like Dust2 was in the pool

05:01:06.300 --> 05:01:09.360
But I guess they were trying to go for a little bit more of a punish

05:01:10.080 --> 05:01:15.020
Against the likes of Falcons. I'm not really sure but some for me questionable

05:01:15.020 --> 05:01:17.640
You know direction that they're taking when it comes to their veto

05:01:17.640 --> 05:01:21.540
That begs the question would that have happened if Halley would have been behind them is that part of the preparation?

05:01:21.540 --> 05:01:24.220
That's something else, you know, I think so. I mean when he was with them

05:01:24.220 --> 05:01:28.820
Also, they started showing this tendency to play more anubis and I mean overpass

05:01:28.820 --> 05:01:32.560
I don't have as much of a problem with because it's more open right don't can

05:01:33.200 --> 05:01:38.200
Just wreck games, you know towards the a bomb site and on that side of the map

05:01:38.200 --> 05:01:41.740
But an uber says a bit of a different story. I mean, there's a reason why they beat to inferno, too

05:01:41.920 --> 05:01:44.320
Yeah, I mean you can look at the stats for what they are

05:01:44.320 --> 05:01:48.220
But you know for the side of tinier and zontics that there were some quiet elements over there

05:01:48.220 --> 05:01:50.420
That really didn't help spirit propel themselves off the ground

05:01:50.420 --> 05:01:54.500
I think I think that's the biggest takeaway for me every time I see spirit play at the moment

05:01:54.500 --> 05:02:00.220
And as we kind of already alluded to yesterday when we spoke about them, it's been a horrible 20-26 for them so far.

05:02:00.220 --> 05:02:04.380
This whole integration of Magic as an in-game leader, Sontek's coming back into the team,

05:02:04.380 --> 05:02:07.420
Teneir still not finding his footing, no consistency to be shown.

05:02:07.420 --> 05:02:12.780
I think it's about time that we start to have a conversation about whether or not this team spirit is actually going to work out.

05:02:12.780 --> 05:02:15.900
I know that we couldn't write them off early on with Magic's coming in,

05:02:15.900 --> 05:02:17.860
and we're supposed to give them a bit of time.

05:02:17.860 --> 05:02:22.460
And some people say that, yeah, give him a year's time before he's going to be in trouble as level, or maybe two years.

05:02:22.460 --> 05:02:26.140
But at the end of the day, when you have a decade, yeah, well, that's not as well at that point.

05:02:26.140 --> 05:02:27.460
Yeah, how about a whole decade?

05:02:27.460 --> 05:02:30.300
At the end of the day, when you have Donk, you're supposed to win stuff now.

05:02:30.300 --> 05:02:33.620
You're supposed to contend for now and shiro for that matter as well.

05:02:33.620 --> 05:02:37.500
So so I'm getting to a point now where if spirit doesn't turn this ship around,

05:02:37.500 --> 05:02:40.100
if they didn't show me more of this tournament and if they don't show me more

05:02:40.300 --> 05:02:43.140
significant, more cologne, then I'm already willing to say, OK,

05:02:43.140 --> 05:02:45.860
maybe you should look in different directions because you cannot waste

05:02:45.860 --> 05:02:48.860
any moment of the peak of Donk right now or shiro for that matter.

05:02:48.860 --> 05:02:51.620
True. And you know, Janko, we definitely heard him say something like

05:02:51.620 --> 05:02:56.740
year, two years time frame, that is a long time and basically unheard of in Counter-Shark.

05:02:56.740 --> 05:03:01.660
It's crazy, I think a season is enough to see whether there's something there or not.

05:03:01.660 --> 05:03:04.980
It can be bad enough after a season that you can pull the plug.

05:03:04.980 --> 05:03:10.060
But if you're happy as Hally, as the coach or the organization with the direction, it's

05:03:10.060 --> 05:03:15.180
going okay, then second half of the year you're starting to expect some results at

05:03:15.180 --> 05:03:16.180
the very least.

05:03:16.180 --> 05:03:20.620
And then after a full year, at that point we're not talking about Magics getting

05:03:20.620 --> 05:03:27.580
into it as an IGL, right? He's either him or he isn't. So we'll have to wait and see some

05:03:27.580 --> 05:03:31.980
of the other players maybe not working out. But I don't know, you know, we've seen Tenir

05:03:31.980 --> 05:03:35.740
and what he's capable of as an individual. I said multiple times, it's way easier to

05:03:35.740 --> 05:03:39.580
be the best player on Heroic than the third best player on Spirit, right? But even with

05:03:39.580 --> 05:03:44.540
that, you know, sometimes you're seeing the CT sides like here and the struggles

05:03:44.540 --> 05:03:47.260
and you're trying to figure out where it's coming from.

05:03:47.260 --> 05:03:49.560
Yeah, there's a ton of counter strike going on guys.

05:03:49.560 --> 05:03:52.260
We have just a lot right here in front of us within the spirit.

05:03:52.260 --> 05:03:56.960
In the Falcons game, however, on that B stream, we saw Liquid do what they do best.

05:03:56.960 --> 05:03:57.760
And what is that Jacob?

05:03:57.760 --> 05:03:58.760
That is losing.

05:03:58.760 --> 05:03:59.760
Losing.

05:03:59.760 --> 05:04:02.760
They do that quite often at the moment, even in the fashion day.

05:04:02.760 --> 05:04:07.460
And then overtime versus 3D Max, I think they're up 14-12 in that overtime,

05:04:07.460 --> 05:04:09.260
and then they end up losing 16-14.

05:04:09.260 --> 05:04:12.760
So, yeah, doing exactly what they're supposed to and what they're good at, I guess.

05:04:12.760 --> 05:04:15.260
How about a couple of rounds that we have from this game?

05:04:15.260 --> 05:04:16.560
Yeah, I would love to look at those.

05:04:16.560 --> 05:04:17.560
That doesn't have them.

05:04:17.560 --> 05:04:19.360
Liquid 3D Max, who cares about Liquid and 3D Max?

05:04:19.360 --> 05:04:21.160
You're right, it is a little bit like that.

05:04:21.160 --> 05:04:24.200
But you know, they're apparently still chiseling those together in the back.

05:04:24.200 --> 05:04:25.200
Alright.

05:04:25.200 --> 05:04:26.200
With an actual chisel.

05:04:26.200 --> 05:04:27.200
But here's the group A bracket.

05:04:27.200 --> 05:04:33.520
Jacob, as you can see, Liquid, after losing to Spirit yesterday, continue that run.

05:04:33.520 --> 05:04:36.800
Yeah, and that's part of the story that we probably haven't touched on so far for

05:04:36.800 --> 05:04:37.800
this game.

05:04:37.800 --> 05:04:40.320
It's pretty important for both Spirit and Falcons that lower bracket run could be

05:04:40.320 --> 05:04:43.560
difficult in some sense, winning this game against each other right now is going

05:04:43.560 --> 05:04:45.440
to, you know, prone them into the playoffs.

05:04:45.440 --> 05:04:48.320
A lot of stick right here. It's more important for spirit in a way, isn't it?

05:04:48.320 --> 05:04:51.240
Right? I mean Falcons with all the character news, you know

05:04:51.880 --> 05:04:57.080
Potentially allegedly happening right for spirit. Sure. You don't have your coach, but come on

05:04:57.080 --> 05:05:03.080
What what if spirit doesn't make the playoffs again? That's back-to-back big events where they don't make the playoffs and

05:05:03.680 --> 05:05:05.180
before that

05:05:05.180 --> 05:05:11.080
Last time they were in the playoffs. They lost 2-0 to Astralis at Pro League, right? So it's an absolutely business

05:05:11.080 --> 05:05:15.960
It's the worst season that Spirit has had ever since they had a dunk to the lineup,

05:05:15.960 --> 05:05:19.800
which is a rough way to go about it, especially given the outcome of that first map,

05:05:19.800 --> 05:05:21.960
which we can jump right back into just a little bit here.

05:05:21.960 --> 05:05:23.600
We do have around 7-8.

05:05:23.600 --> 05:05:29.520
Yeah, I think to showcase some of the things that Falcons were doing really well in this game,

05:05:29.520 --> 05:05:34.920
especially on the T side, we pointed those out and trying to see how they're going to work out.

05:05:34.920 --> 05:05:37.120
So in round 7, it's just a default.

05:05:37.120 --> 05:05:41.640
They're going to start working mid, using their utility well.

05:05:41.640 --> 05:05:44.320
They're not going to be blocked by the smoke.

05:05:44.320 --> 05:05:46.000
You see Kicks on pushing with a flash.

05:05:46.000 --> 05:05:47.200
They get this early control.

05:05:47.200 --> 05:05:52.920
Now the second layer sort of comes in to take deeper mid control,

05:05:52.920 --> 05:05:54.520
take a main control too.

05:05:54.520 --> 05:05:57.400
And even though this is a little bit easy to read for Spirit,

05:05:57.400 --> 05:05:58.720
they have three players there.

05:05:58.720 --> 05:06:00.520
The split is still really well executed.

05:06:00.520 --> 05:06:02.200
They wait for the smoke in camera.

05:06:02.200 --> 05:06:03.400
They pounce together.

05:06:03.400 --> 05:06:08.980
Niko does a great job here baiting and for the camera players to get activated

05:06:08.980 --> 05:06:11.980
and for them to execute the A-Split.

05:06:16.480 --> 05:06:17.780
Jacob, what do you think about that?

05:06:17.780 --> 05:06:20.280
Now that you're here awkwardly standing silent.

05:06:20.280 --> 05:06:22.280
I think in the next round we see a change of pace.

05:06:22.280 --> 05:06:23.780
Great call from Kicksand, right?

05:06:23.780 --> 05:06:28.120
Switch it up with the McTank, he's going to go eat some of that molly damage,

05:06:28.120 --> 05:06:30.180
push through, catches Taneer, right?

05:06:30.180 --> 05:06:32.860
Gets an entry kill, now they do a great job.

05:06:32.860 --> 05:06:37.980
again of freezing, right? KickSan is sort of shoulder-peeking, he finds Zontex too, now they're still waiting,

05:06:37.980 --> 05:06:44.900
Donk gets one back, and they rotate over towards that A bomb site, but KickSan, very aware of this play by

05:06:44.900 --> 05:06:49.540
MagX, just they just kept punishing it, they didn't rush things, you know, these kills are coming to them,

05:06:49.540 --> 05:06:54.820
very well played in the mid-round, in back-to-back rounds where they really seized the control of the game.

05:06:54.820 --> 05:06:59.540
And fundamentally what that's showing Trace is good Counter-Strike, and there's nothing new from Falcons,

05:06:59.540 --> 05:07:04.580
It's just been always an issue in it. No, it's not you know, it's it's new that they do it persistently over the course of a map

05:07:04.580 --> 05:07:09.640
They can do it in one round maybe two rounds, but doing it consistently over the course of about setting the bar low

05:07:09.640 --> 05:07:12.020
That's because the team is headed in the direction

05:07:12.020 --> 05:07:14.260
It is Jacob speaking of the series heading in the direction

05:07:14.260 --> 05:07:18.420
It is do Falcons close it out here on their own map pick a mirage. Mmm. Yeah, I think so

05:07:18.420 --> 05:07:21.500
I'm starting to lose faith in in some spirits to be completely honest again

05:07:21.500 --> 05:07:24.760
You can have a rule out donk, you know and he can definitely change the title the game by himself

05:07:24.760 --> 05:07:30.360
But in terms of who is the better looking quote-unquote team at the moment, I have more faith in Falcons surprisingly enough

05:07:30.680 --> 05:07:33.880
We'll take it at that at face value. Thank you very much gentlemen

05:07:33.960 --> 05:07:40.120
Mirage up on the cards Falcons versus spirit the Intel Extreme Masters RIA 2026 while we return

05:08:24.760 --> 05:08:28.760
The pounding heart of these 14 children are here to call you the king.

05:08:33.760 --> 05:08:35.760
Now the double-peak is getting your shoulder!

05:08:35.760 --> 05:08:36.760
They're coming for you!

05:08:36.760 --> 05:08:37.760
Unbelievable!

05:08:37.760 --> 05:08:39.760
They're coming for you!

05:08:41.760 --> 05:08:43.760
Something's going to show to the world that it's D-Golf

05:08:43.760 --> 05:08:44.760
and that it's D-Golf!

05:08:44.760 --> 05:08:45.760
The world happens!

05:08:45.760 --> 05:08:46.760
Gotta get it, sir!

05:08:47.760 --> 05:08:48.760
We are back!

05:08:54.760 --> 05:09:00.280
I'm here with Nico ahead of his second game here at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 looking at yesterday

05:09:00.280 --> 05:09:04.760
It's kind of only one half where things looked even competitive in that game versus 3d max

05:09:04.760 --> 05:09:08.200
How much confidence did that instill in you and your run here in Rio?

05:09:10.120 --> 05:09:14.560
Yeah, I mean, it's always nice to have a good start at the event as you mentioned the

05:09:14.920 --> 05:09:17.080
The first half of inferno was a bit rough for us

05:09:17.080 --> 05:09:22.240
But really happy how we have bounced back on the on the T side and also ancient was flawless

05:09:22.240 --> 05:09:24.480
So, happy with the win yesterday.

05:09:24.480 --> 05:09:27.360
It will definitely help going into the face game.

05:09:27.360 --> 05:09:28.680
So, yeah, we'll see.

05:09:28.680 --> 05:09:30.600
It's been a while since you guys have faced Spare.

05:09:30.600 --> 05:09:33.200
I believe it's back at the start of Major, right?

05:09:33.200 --> 05:09:36.720
Where do you feel like Spare are in terms of form right now?

05:09:38.400 --> 05:09:40.560
I think it's hard to say.

05:09:40.560 --> 05:09:44.480
I think they are very eager for the results

05:09:44.480 --> 05:09:47.200
that have been struggling lately.

05:09:47.200 --> 05:09:48.200
I think the same goes for us.

05:09:48.200 --> 05:09:51.760
So I think we are both very eager to kind of improve

05:09:51.760 --> 05:09:56.960
and deliver. So for them, I don't know, now they don't have the head coach with them.

05:09:57.160 --> 05:10:01.320
They have a soft kick from Academy, so maybe it's

05:10:01.520 --> 05:10:06.840
playing a small part, maybe they'll change something that would maybe

05:10:07.040 --> 05:10:09.040
make them a bit more comfortable, maybe not.

05:10:09.040 --> 05:10:10.360
I don't know. I don't know how they feel.

05:10:10.360 --> 05:10:11.600
It's very hard to say, as I said.

05:10:11.800 --> 05:10:17.640
But looking forward to the match and yeah, last time Budapest didn't go our way,

05:10:17.840 --> 05:10:20.480
even though we have, you know, or at least me and Nila have a pretty good

05:10:20.480 --> 05:10:23.760
history going up against Spirit, so hopefully it continues today.

05:10:23.760 --> 05:10:26.960
Yeah, perfect. So I'll go into my next question I was going to ask about that, because I remember

05:10:26.960 --> 05:10:31.760
speaking to you about it and going, why is it sometimes that certain duo struggle against

05:10:31.760 --> 05:10:35.320
others? And you said, it's all in your head. How do you handle it then when finally they

05:10:35.320 --> 05:10:38.160
manage to take you down? Does it play on your mind at all?

05:10:38.160 --> 05:10:42.000
Well, I mean, it was just annoying that, like, we never got to play them on the

05:10:42.000 --> 05:10:45.680
major, like we have been beating them before even the finals. But then like when

05:10:45.680 --> 05:10:51.400
When you lose at the major, it can be the most important one, you know?

05:10:51.400 --> 05:10:55.400
But yeah, we don't really think too much about it.

05:10:55.400 --> 05:10:59.400
In a sense that we don't care that we have won so many times, but maybe we feel like

05:10:59.400 --> 05:11:01.600
we know how we should approach the game versus them.

05:11:01.600 --> 05:11:08.600
So we have to play a small part in today's game, but other than that, we are just

05:11:08.600 --> 05:11:10.520
in general confident going up against Spirit.

05:11:10.520 --> 05:11:15.640
I think maybe they've placed us just a little bit, so yeah, we'll see.

05:11:15.640 --> 05:11:21.920
Obviously there's a lot of conversations going on around Falcons, I'm not going to ask you about that directly, but I do want to ask about how you handle it as a team, right?

05:11:21.920 --> 05:11:29.120
You've been in situations before, rumors true or not, where you can't let it affect the team cohesion, the team camaraderie.

05:11:29.120 --> 05:11:32.440
How do you make sure all the chat doesn't affect you guys actually in-game?

05:11:34.120 --> 05:11:41.880
Well obviously there's not much we can do right now, that's what we have addressed kind of.

05:11:41.880 --> 05:11:49.560
Now it's just us, we want to make sure that we do as good as possible at this event, it plays in everyone's favor.

05:11:49.560 --> 05:11:57.840
And we have been struggling even before these rumors came out, so we really want to,

05:11:57.840 --> 05:12:04.640
we just want, we are just eager for a good result and we think we are a bit close, even though the results haven't shown it.

05:12:04.640 --> 05:12:10.440
We have had very close losses to Paris Vision in the last two events, so we just want to deliver this event.

05:12:10.440 --> 05:12:14.400
And, yeah, we feel good so far.

05:12:14.400 --> 05:12:15.440
Thank you so much for your honesty.

05:12:15.440 --> 05:12:16.440
It's always Niko. Good luck.

05:12:28.840 --> 05:12:31.880
Now I know I'm a boomer, but was that the definition of frame logging?

05:12:31.880 --> 05:12:32.920
What Monosy was doing there?

05:12:32.920 --> 05:12:35.280
Very attentive to his interview.

05:12:35.480 --> 05:12:37.960
Oh, well, at least Niko didn't interview with Freya before the game.

05:12:37.960 --> 05:12:39.360
Just ask it about that.

05:12:39.360 --> 05:12:42.120
Well, some of the details of what's going on at the moment.

05:12:42.120 --> 05:12:43.240
Honestly, he was locked in.

05:12:43.240 --> 05:12:44.880
He was listening to every word.

05:12:44.880 --> 05:12:46.040
Yeah, he got framed long time.

05:12:46.040 --> 05:12:49.040
Yeah, so shout out to Ilya the Kid one time,

05:12:49.040 --> 05:12:52.680
as that's Donk the King of the Jungle.

05:12:52.680 --> 05:12:53.680
Yeah, King of the Jungle.

05:12:53.680 --> 05:12:54.760
And now that's his nickname.

05:12:54.760 --> 05:12:57.360
Happed for Mirage, of course, a position

05:12:57.360 --> 05:12:58.960
on our second map of the series,

05:12:58.960 --> 05:13:02.840
where Falcons have not only thrashed the spirit boys

05:13:02.840 --> 05:13:05.760
on their pick, but now on home turf with an opportunity

05:13:05.760 --> 05:13:07.080
to sail into those playoffs.

05:13:07.080 --> 05:13:08.400
Yeah, I was just taking a look

05:13:08.400 --> 05:13:20.400
The last time Falcons played against Vitality was this year, it was bound to be when they had Nucleons as a stand-in, so they could be teaming that up again, and it's under, well, less than ordinary circumstances.

05:13:20.400 --> 05:13:23.400
You're playing with Nucleons, okay, well Kizuki could make it, these are issues.

05:13:23.400 --> 05:13:31.400
Then, you're playing this time around and, well, you've got the kicks in getting booted from the team replaced by Karagin scenario also floating about.

05:13:31.400 --> 05:13:34.400
Either way, it's focusing on the counter-strike on screen.

05:13:34.400 --> 05:13:40.160
the pistols on map number one, both team picking up on the CT side. Let's see if that continues

05:13:40.160 --> 05:13:43.920
now with Spirit on the defense of their opponents map choice. It's Maragi.

05:13:47.920 --> 05:13:53.600
Away we go. It is looking to be potentially a little bit fakie right now.

05:13:56.560 --> 05:13:58.160
He's got a full battle kicks in.

05:13:58.160 --> 05:14:24.560
Yeah, whether or not that was the intention, that's how this is functioning forward, Niko,

05:14:24.560 --> 05:14:30.880
with the smoke head. Oh, great shot. Another one. Oh, he's done very well. Don't couldn't

05:14:30.880 --> 05:14:35.840
find the lethality required. And now number three. Okay. Yeah, that's asking me too much.

05:14:35.840 --> 05:14:40.360
Shiro finds him. And they are finishing the after all after all of that. Magic's going

05:14:40.360 --> 05:14:44.780
to be calling for backup. Clean headshot onto Kiyosuke. Sontics arrived from the short

05:14:44.780 --> 05:14:53.680
side gets nothing done. A long range clock headshot found by Tessus. Absolutely stunning.

05:14:53.680 --> 05:14:57.280
A solo! Dolo! Defense of the B bomb site!

05:14:57.280 --> 05:14:59.840
Shiro's got Tessus dead to right, he's gonna tap him out.

05:14:59.840 --> 05:15:01.440
Oh, maybe not. Never mind.

05:15:01.440 --> 05:15:03.520
Okay, Tessus is up short, two to find.

05:15:04.520 --> 05:15:07.400
Oh, Benjapos here should he need that USB for this kind of range,

05:15:07.400 --> 05:15:09.400
and he's managed to scavenge away one.

05:15:11.120 --> 05:15:12.120
Finds cover.

05:15:12.960 --> 05:15:15.160
Magic's partners up with Shiro up close.

05:15:17.280 --> 05:15:18.520
And deleted.

05:15:18.840 --> 05:15:20.240
Great work there from Boris.

05:15:20.240 --> 05:15:21.040
Yeah, seriously.

05:15:21.040 --> 05:15:24.340
It's not just the kills, the fact that he didn't get pulled by the fake.

05:15:24.340 --> 05:15:27.140
He stayed over towards the van position the entire time.

05:15:27.140 --> 05:15:30.640
He's the man who said, listen boys, that's not gonna be the B finish.

05:15:30.640 --> 05:15:36.500
I know it inevitably became that, but look, how can you not love this?

05:15:36.500 --> 05:15:38.060
He's delaying his stand live.

05:15:38.060 --> 05:15:41.160
There's three players who were tasked with just killing this one man.

05:15:41.160 --> 05:15:42.980
The bomb goes down, you win the round.

05:15:42.980 --> 05:15:43.980
Don't let that a roar.

05:15:45.480 --> 05:15:48.060
I don't quite believe that the boys pulled that off without him.

05:15:48.060 --> 05:15:49.360
Yeah, fair play.

05:15:49.360 --> 05:15:52.280
But right now this man on the screen, let's see.

05:15:52.280 --> 05:15:54.560
Looks like the best player in the server.

05:15:54.560 --> 05:15:55.720
And he's playing like it.

05:15:57.640 --> 05:16:00.040
Wow, that's one hell of a HE.

05:16:00.040 --> 05:16:03.160
An armored T's, shredded, ripped,

05:16:03.160 --> 05:16:05.320
two pieces, just the ones of the D.

05:16:05.320 --> 05:16:07.160
You still managed to get some value.

05:16:15.920 --> 05:16:17.960
These sides feel pretty good for magics.

05:16:17.960 --> 05:16:35.960
Yeah, it's good to get tested early as well if they try something there within one of the first few rifle rounds and he also passes the test that will have to change the calling for kicks in and go highlighting the pace change right I think it was round six then into round seven so a little bit of calling that good pace changes coming into the mixes.

05:16:35.960 --> 05:16:41.240
picks and will be found and that'll be the 2-0 start the spirit, but this is how an uber started it is

05:16:44.200 --> 05:16:47.240
Didn't stop them from a very quick first map

05:16:48.520 --> 05:16:54.840
And it ends up being juggled right now. It looks like tinea and magix the side anchors will be operating with those

05:16:55.640 --> 05:17:00.120
That's going to give the m4s in the hands of donks on ticks and shiro, which is the mid trio

05:17:00.520 --> 05:17:02.520
Don't the connector players on tick short

05:17:02.920 --> 05:17:04.920
And shiro as the all pup

05:17:04.920 --> 05:17:12.240
around window connector a lot of these fights but free mid-control given

05:17:12.240 --> 05:17:16.260
Falcons have just completely sprung into action and taken this without anybody

05:17:16.260 --> 05:17:19.720
noting their presence so far

05:17:19.720 --> 05:17:40.440
Mineral damage from the Donk H.E., flash to enable Tessus to try and sweep through that

05:17:40.440 --> 05:17:42.680
angle before Kixson.

05:17:42.680 --> 05:17:47.480
Sontex is behind the bricks though and he's starting his sweep.

05:17:47.480 --> 05:17:51.400
gets in undetected. Lots of options now.

05:17:51.400 --> 05:17:57.040
Songtix will be heard, that's going to help them piece together the picture.

05:17:57.040 --> 05:18:04.040
Are they going to try and boost up? They are.

05:18:04.840 --> 05:18:07.800
Kixen gets spotted. Songtix does take heavy damage from that.

05:18:07.800 --> 05:18:10.440
AAG reveals two short side.

05:18:10.440 --> 05:18:15.120
Once you finish 44. Connected 8. It is close-up ramp.

05:18:15.120 --> 05:18:17.120
It's really action on Shiro.

05:18:17.120 --> 05:18:20.120
Just enough vision for Zontics to choose from.

05:18:20.120 --> 05:18:23.120
His magic's excused me. Zontics is ready on the rotation.

05:18:24.120 --> 05:18:28.120
Yeah, swap enough guns with a low HP to neap. A lot on your plate, mate.

05:18:28.120 --> 05:18:32.120
Oh, wow. Niko well drilled on the angle clear. Still Shiro still in ticket position.

05:18:32.120 --> 05:18:35.120
Monosy finds him. Needs some taps.

05:18:35.120 --> 05:18:39.120
Hoes, taps from Niko. He's done very well in combination with Monosy.

05:18:39.120 --> 05:18:41.120
What a turn around.

05:18:41.120 --> 05:18:43.120
Oh, the individuals are hitting hard.

05:18:43.120 --> 05:18:45.760
Yeah, that is a little bit disconnected there from spirit, right?

05:18:45.760 --> 05:18:48.400
Obviously, he's on things a low HP and don't just swings.

05:18:48.400 --> 05:18:51.800
I understand he's trying to capitalize as the skirmish is going down the side there.

05:18:51.800 --> 05:18:54.560
But hey, those are things go first, don't trade.

05:18:54.560 --> 05:18:56.560
Maybe it's a multi.

05:18:56.560 --> 05:19:00.360
It's not the end of the world, but clunky look again.

05:19:00.440 --> 05:19:02.120
Really liked what we saw from spirit yesterday,

05:19:02.120 --> 05:19:04.440
but this is a whole different level of opponent right now.

05:19:09.960 --> 05:19:12.200
Liquid is playing over on that B stream

05:19:12.200 --> 05:19:13.640
Up against 3D Max.

05:19:14.140 --> 05:19:17.180
Loser of that eliminated as we're straight with an A execute, and...

05:19:17.380 --> 05:19:20.820
Essentially, nobody's home. Nobody side-side. Nobody ticket.

05:19:24.920 --> 05:19:29.540
Oh, smoke break, Sonic spotted out. Kiyosuke relays that information to the squad, and...

05:19:29.980 --> 05:19:30.580
What's that?

05:19:30.580 --> 05:19:31.740
Very deep molly.

05:19:31.740 --> 05:19:32.500
Deep molly?

05:19:32.900 --> 05:19:35.980
He buys it enough time for the mother one. Oh, and replace it. Replace it.

05:19:35.980 --> 05:19:38.100
Peaking in, Donk loses his head.

05:19:38.700 --> 05:19:40.460
Flashes, they want to keep fighting.

05:19:40.460 --> 05:19:47.160
In the fight they shout, Kiyosuke finds to near now the smoke on top, so well polished, so well drilled.

05:19:47.160 --> 05:19:50.260
Yeah, but this is a bit with what Yanko was talking about in terms of pace change, right?

05:19:50.260 --> 05:19:52.960
So they've just done a default where it's a bit more of a thinking man's game,

05:19:52.960 --> 05:19:55.660
and they've bludgeoned to death, Kixen comes through, the fight keeps coming,

05:19:55.660 --> 05:19:59.160
it's just matching to the Famous, and it's on to the M4, last man standing.

05:19:59.160 --> 05:20:00.160
Wow.

05:20:00.160 --> 05:20:04.860
There's going to be two, two, and money in the mud, so Falcons continuing to show proficiency on this T-Side.

05:20:05.860 --> 05:20:09.760
Yeah, T-Side on Anubis was convincing, and in the absence of a pistol,

05:20:09.760 --> 05:20:11.760
will be very quickly rectified.

05:20:11.760 --> 05:20:13.720
Well, here we go, it's on Dixie.

05:20:13.720 --> 05:20:14.560
Definitely not one of this way.

05:20:14.560 --> 05:20:16.440
He's got a kit and now you might lose it all.

05:20:16.440 --> 05:20:17.760
Monosik goes down.

05:20:17.760 --> 05:20:20.800
He'll double up, but Niko from top mid

05:20:20.800 --> 05:20:23.480
will make sure there are really no threats into the next

05:20:23.480 --> 05:20:27.360
and didn't quite get to the Monosik AWP in time.

05:20:27.360 --> 05:20:29.160
But if he wants, he can drop one for his boy.

05:20:29.160 --> 05:20:31.080
So all good in the hood for Falcons.

05:20:31.080 --> 05:20:33.080
I think don't buy one in this round

05:20:33.080 --> 05:20:34.600
because you know they're gonna be on Niko.

05:20:34.600 --> 05:20:36.320
Just bring the all-pattern to the next

05:20:36.320 --> 05:20:37.960
and that looks like it's good in the case,

05:20:37.960 --> 05:20:44.960
But really constricted them because, yeah, nobody's side-side, they've gone, okay, well, they have to be playing for mid.

05:20:44.960 --> 05:20:50.960
Let's just force this fight into CT spawn, completely restrict the movements, and they're just going to A execute again.

05:20:52.960 --> 05:20:59.960
Some tough maps so far for Donk. I know that he's started to turn his fate around a little bit late on a nervous, but that's one starting 0-3.

05:20:59.960 --> 05:21:08.200
Okay, 5-7's lethal. How about this range he has vision? Oh, no, he doesn't. What a flash

05:21:08.200 --> 05:21:17.720
from Monosit. Flooding into the site, long range, Mach 10 even connecting.

05:21:17.720 --> 05:21:24.520
So do they want to get that AWP investment into the next, or just stick with the rifles

05:21:24.520 --> 05:21:30.880
It seems to be working well so far default map control into a execute into a execute. That's the last three

05:21:32.960 --> 05:21:38.980
And that's the school and about to read three to two magics gonna be found over here towards it is for Niko very diligent jump clip spots

05:21:38.980 --> 05:21:42.320
About us feet and he feasts so Niko five and two

05:21:47.360 --> 05:21:51.920
Guns to come up back out. Yes, so Kixon is the one who just take the Mac 10 off of test

05:21:51.920 --> 05:21:55.540
So they're just going to trade out the guns here. We'll see how that has an impact in the calling

05:22:04.460 --> 05:22:07.540
Magic's talking directly to zontics. Yeah, so the short player

05:22:09.140 --> 05:22:12.660
Now I connected as the bead you are just working out how they're going to play off of each other

05:22:12.660 --> 05:22:16.300
He's on the boosts up in the van. You can swing our shop big swing

05:22:16.300 --> 05:22:19.700
One frag, quick trade to near back.

05:22:19.700 --> 05:22:21.740
They're in B, Niko's giving us team on out here.

05:22:21.740 --> 05:22:24.500
Straight out, yeah the short players got a lot of work.

05:22:24.500 --> 05:22:27.060
Oh he controls the spray, pulls magics out of the round.

05:22:27.060 --> 05:22:27.900
No pay.

05:22:27.900 --> 05:22:28.740
Some Shiro.

05:22:30.100 --> 05:22:31.300
Niko got to play his life here.

05:22:31.300 --> 05:22:32.980
He's got the territory, doesn't want to lose it.

05:22:32.980 --> 05:22:35.700
Bombs lost in the apartments, it's a two on three.

05:22:35.700 --> 05:22:36.540
Jumping on my head.

05:22:36.540 --> 05:22:38.220
Niko, they overlooked the possibility,

05:22:38.220 --> 05:22:39.460
dunked down to Niko.

05:22:39.460 --> 05:22:41.980
Clutch available, monocy goes down to Shiro.

05:22:41.980 --> 05:22:45.420
That's a high impact rifle round to near and Shiro.

05:22:45.420 --> 05:22:49.260
Both finding a double kill necessary to give Spirit a nice stretch as a legs.

05:22:49.260 --> 05:22:52.420
Donk just wants to keep getting involved in the fights, mate.

05:22:52.420 --> 05:22:55.980
He's 0-5 right now, but just keeps putting his body on the line.

05:22:55.980 --> 05:22:57.460
So, the mess mopped up.

05:22:59.140 --> 05:23:01.540
It's a key jewel right there, but yeah.

05:23:01.540 --> 05:23:04.180
Jumps out the window, the great trade from Snip.

05:23:04.180 --> 05:23:06.180
And that'll be that, so...

05:23:09.180 --> 05:23:11.460
I don't think we'll see them with such pace again.

05:23:11.460 --> 05:23:14.580
It might seem a little bit more of a default spread here.

05:23:15.420 --> 05:23:16.720
Or maybe not.

05:23:16.720 --> 05:23:18.220
Tessus has the AWP?

05:23:19.220 --> 05:23:19.720
Right.

05:23:19.720 --> 05:23:21.220
And the monocie's up cat?

05:23:21.220 --> 05:23:22.720
Yeah, it's all backwards.

05:23:23.220 --> 05:23:26.120
Suntick spotted on a forward position and run down.

05:23:26.120 --> 05:23:27.620
Monocie makes that rifle work.

05:23:27.620 --> 05:23:29.720
Donk finds his first kill of Mirage.

05:23:30.720 --> 05:23:34.720
So a quick shut down, peeking back in and losing his head.

05:23:34.920 --> 05:23:36.620
Kisuke wins in the head to head.

05:23:36.620 --> 05:23:37.720
Miss smoke on window.

05:23:37.720 --> 05:23:38.720
It's all a bomb.

05:23:38.720 --> 05:23:40.720
Bomb spotted going up cart.

05:23:41.220 --> 05:23:42.020
Tessus.

05:23:42.020 --> 05:23:45.220
I think he was expecting that to be smoked or something.

05:23:45.420 --> 05:23:50.520
Yeah, Windows went missed.

05:23:50.520 --> 05:23:53.000
Magics is fast on this flank, faster than they're probably ready for.

05:23:53.000 --> 05:23:55.000
Nico gonna be audible in Palace or not?

05:23:55.000 --> 05:23:58.240
Ooh, I think he'd stop cutting noise just in time.

05:23:58.240 --> 05:24:02.760
Still there, Magics has the drop on them, 2CT, trying to draw attention.

05:24:02.760 --> 05:24:08.560
Long range burst to the NT9, gonna contribute but now really uncomfortable for Magics.

05:24:08.560 --> 05:24:10.760
Nico's behind him.

05:24:10.760 --> 05:24:15.120
No smoke, no kit, no chance for Boris.

05:24:15.120 --> 05:24:22.040
He's hanging around deep. Has a rough idea where both of them are, but this round will

05:24:22.040 --> 05:24:27.200
not be his. Falcons. We're grabbing another one. Takes down kicks and sure, but it's all

05:24:27.200 --> 05:24:34.960
about saving this AK 47. So back into the winning ways, three to four. And the winning

05:24:34.960 --> 05:24:40.520
one then immediately losing one. That's weird. Yeah, just you don't want to keep

05:24:40.520 --> 05:24:43.300
losing rounds, right? But at least then you would have the lost bonus built in a

05:24:43.300 --> 05:24:48.340
point where you can feel a little bit more threatening. It's good that Don gets his opening kill.

05:24:50.740 --> 05:24:55.860
That's winning an awful lot more of that and Magic's saving the AK has donated to Don immediately.

05:24:55.860 --> 05:25:03.300
So you need him to get going. He plays the star position. He is a star. He is a superstar.

05:25:03.300 --> 05:25:07.540
So you need Donk especially on the CT side of Mirage. And now they're going,

05:25:07.540 --> 05:25:10.420
this is, it's so rapid back into an A execute again.

05:25:10.420 --> 05:25:20.520
Shira is going to be able to lend a hand.

05:25:20.520 --> 05:25:24.600
Magic throws out the smoke in the middle of the site, hoping Taneer gets overlooked, but

05:25:24.600 --> 05:25:27.360
you really want to keep your eyes on Donk where that rifle is going.

05:25:27.360 --> 05:25:30.960
It's just a couple of pistols currently.

05:25:30.960 --> 05:25:33.160
Smoke blown open, Magic has cover.

05:25:33.160 --> 05:25:35.360
Yasuke clears out Taneer on the close box.

05:25:35.360 --> 05:25:37.440
Damn, yeah, just like that.

05:25:37.440 --> 05:25:40.960
the Yankees discussing, hey, when there's a roster change of Bruin for Falcons,

05:25:40.960 --> 05:25:44.160
they're playing some of their best counter-strike, and it's just so direct.

05:25:44.280 --> 05:25:45.880
This is really nice calling.

05:25:47.280 --> 05:25:50.240
They're not giving spirit an opportunity to play into the game

05:25:50.240 --> 05:25:51.240
with how to direct these rounds.

05:25:51.240 --> 05:25:53.720
I'm sure you could go in and just get flat lined to get multi-coded,

05:25:53.720 --> 05:25:56.040
you get stuck at the choke point, but that's not what's happening.

05:25:58.080 --> 05:26:01.600
Fast B splits, A executes, is the third A execute.

05:26:02.080 --> 05:26:05.280
And they've constantly found themselves successful,

05:26:05.280 --> 05:26:08.440
off to retain the AK, but this is a very fast half.

05:26:08.440 --> 05:26:15.580
Yeah, he's actually rapid. We've been in the server for 12 minutes.

05:26:15.580 --> 05:26:17.560
Yeah, okay.

05:26:17.560 --> 05:26:30.840
Eight rounds played, 12 minutes. That is speedy. Talking of speed, Tess is going

05:26:30.840 --> 05:26:33.500
into and buying into a deliberate Mac 10

05:26:35.400 --> 05:26:39.180
They do these best flames the impression right now, right, but this is so nice red

05:26:39.880 --> 05:26:42.360
Yeah, and then to be able to set each other up

05:26:42.720 --> 05:26:48.780
It's really very good poison to pressure those folks are always the most difficult to work with when you are up against the lower

05:26:48.780 --> 05:26:50.780
Byes here we go Sophie

05:26:51.080 --> 05:26:56.560
Coach of the Academy team is taking over responsibilities with the main team while Hallie is out with that

05:26:56.560 --> 05:27:04.560
I don't want to say illness, but health issue that the team has given him time to recover from, he won't be back until after Astana.

05:27:08.560 --> 05:27:16.560
So, they will be with Salfik up until then, and Magix has taken on more responsibility in his own admission interview yesterday with Stiko,

05:27:16.560 --> 05:27:19.560
and you really need to have to start turning around now.

05:27:19.560 --> 05:27:21.560
So, good time to take this time out.

05:27:21.560 --> 05:27:27.400
time out. Shiro in with the AWP. Magic sister's gonna carry through in with the MP9 and Donk

05:27:27.400 --> 05:27:33.720
retains that AK but again Donk's still very quiet. 1 and 6, it can change within a round.

05:27:33.720 --> 05:27:40.920
But it hasn't changed just yet. Finally back into a default. Second time we've seen

05:27:40.920 --> 05:27:47.120
it run this on the T half. Otherwise it's been very direct calling. Tessus lurking

05:27:47.120 --> 05:27:52.960
Alice, Niko over towards the B apartments and the other three, the map control pack, spring

05:27:52.960 --> 05:27:54.680
to life in middle.

05:27:54.680 --> 05:27:56.560
Making no secret.

05:27:56.560 --> 05:27:59.680
The top mid control, the span, the nades.

05:27:59.680 --> 05:28:01.640
Sotis plays this position an awful lot, right?

05:28:01.640 --> 05:28:05.400
So that's how the fountain's going to know.

05:28:05.400 --> 05:28:07.440
Always looking for the glimpse towards the bench.

05:28:07.440 --> 05:28:11.000
Niko making some steps and trying to bait out some MUTIL towards B. It's one of the

05:28:11.000 --> 05:28:14.680
things, even on the extremities you're reacting to what's going on around the

05:28:14.680 --> 05:28:15.680
map.

05:28:15.680 --> 05:28:19.040
play a bit of pressure to force out nades, make it easier for the finishes.

05:28:19.840 --> 05:28:23.520
So after showing themself in middle, now they return to what will be another A execute.

05:28:23.520 --> 05:28:27.120
Teneer playing retake from ticket. Donk will be able to chip in from connector.

05:28:29.280 --> 05:28:32.720
And the smoke's already in the sky. This is looking good again for Falcons.

05:28:36.520 --> 05:28:39.840
Teneer's got it well cut out for him, has the support. Donk on the staircase.

05:28:40.840 --> 05:28:44.080
Smoked for now, so really just access granted.

05:28:45.680 --> 05:28:50.460
He can parve in, another smoke break, and now a safe plant.

05:28:50.460 --> 05:28:50.960
All back.

05:28:50.960 --> 05:28:52.480
Oh, bang, from Teneir.

05:28:52.480 --> 05:28:55.080
He's got his line-ups drilled.

05:28:55.080 --> 05:28:56.920
Tessus, we forced to get that one down

05:28:56.920 --> 05:28:58.520
in a different alternative angle.

05:28:58.520 --> 05:29:00.640
Niko on the approach from the flank, though.

05:29:00.640 --> 05:29:04.240
Yasuke can synchronize nice from Magik's proactive swing

05:29:04.240 --> 05:29:05.120
on the MP9.

05:29:05.120 --> 05:29:06.760
Teneir, another one.

05:29:06.760 --> 05:29:08.320
Looking good for spirits.

05:29:08.320 --> 05:29:11.560
OK, round four found in a convincing fashion.

05:29:11.560 --> 05:29:12.840
Very cheeky from Teneir.

05:29:12.840 --> 05:29:14.560
Right, smoke spading at that moment, too.

05:29:14.560 --> 05:29:20.000
gets a very important kill that the round just spills open. Niko needs to make a play. MP9 appears in his face.

05:29:20.640 --> 05:29:26.640
So still can win out the half, but there's going to be buys that you need to get through Zonic taking the time out.

05:29:37.760 --> 05:29:40.240
It's like a change of flow because up until this point,

05:29:40.240 --> 05:29:44.080
the more direct calling has been working I know some of them have been against

05:29:44.080 --> 05:29:46.480
lower buys

05:29:49.160 --> 05:29:54.120
I just settle into what your practice which is those defaults

05:29:54.120 --> 05:29:58.720
honestly can't spring out the all

05:30:00.520 --> 05:30:08.040
this is great that just a spurt of bullets in a way kicks and goes

05:30:08.040 --> 05:30:10.540
They're really good contributions from T'Nil.

05:30:11.540 --> 05:30:12.840
T'Niko onto a deagle.

05:30:12.840 --> 05:30:14.040
Make-o's for the rest.

05:30:14.040 --> 05:30:15.040
Monocy with the AWP.

05:30:15.040 --> 05:30:17.040
Util is the limiting factor right now.

05:30:17.040 --> 05:30:19.040
Opening smokes, window and top cap.

05:30:19.040 --> 05:30:21.040
Monocy's going to take the AWP to pick a ram.

05:30:21.040 --> 05:30:25.540
Rattles off a shot, so allow Spirit to understand that's in the play immediately.

05:30:31.540 --> 05:30:33.040
Clean-o, just the opening.

05:30:33.040 --> 05:30:35.040
Sonfix from the short side keeps us level.

05:30:35.040 --> 05:30:36.040
It's a big kill, man.

05:30:36.040 --> 05:30:39.400
and Tessus. Oh, what? Everyone's dead because just hits the

05:30:39.960 --> 05:30:44.520
Deagle headshot onto the jump spot of magics and now he's got the B site under pressure. Oh

05:30:45.080 --> 05:30:47.080
Shear I booked by Tessus. There's

05:30:51.560 --> 05:30:54.360
Bit of a signature one from him. All right

05:30:55.400 --> 05:31:01.320
Wow, that's around that actually you would want to say that's the kind of round you'd expect occasionally to happen with

05:31:01.320 --> 05:31:04.440
Falcons when you've got so many amers exactly hits their shot

05:31:06.040 --> 05:31:10.040
And this one, stylish. Alright Nika, we see ya.

05:31:10.040 --> 05:31:14.040
The Blaze, on fire right now, the Falcons.

05:31:14.040 --> 05:31:18.040
Spassak. Okay, how many rounds can it beat?

05:31:18.040 --> 05:31:21.040
Remember, winner of this takes on Vitality, but not only that,

05:31:21.040 --> 05:31:25.040
it books himself a spot in the playoff, loses it down to, or the loser, Bracket.

05:31:36.040 --> 05:31:53.440
I'm trying. Yeah. Well, different way of operating with the jump down magics. You're

05:31:53.440 --> 05:32:00.640
at a minute and 10 on the clock and the CT side has a Molotov and a HG. That's all

05:32:00.640 --> 05:32:06.680
they got to continue to try and block or constrict the movements of Falcons forced them where

05:32:06.680 --> 05:32:10.800
they want them. That's not going to be the case. Falcons on the other side, still.

05:32:10.800 --> 05:32:15.400
This is one of the latest, you know, spread Falcon T side rounds. It's rare to see them

05:32:15.400 --> 05:32:24.880
so spread out at this stage in the round. Starting to group up now. Test coming on

05:32:24.880 --> 05:32:30.240
ticks his way. Shiro has got that third body over onto the B site and they're

05:32:30.240 --> 05:32:33.840
going to have the AWP able to surely find an opening. Never mind. Actually, Tanira's

05:32:33.840 --> 05:32:38.840
found tests. It's lurking in Palace. Magics gets cleared out by Nika. One back. Kiyosuke

05:32:38.840 --> 05:32:44.160
finds Donk caught on the rotation. He's falling apart. Donk is having a rough game, but Kiyosuke

05:32:44.160 --> 05:32:45.160
is not.

05:32:45.160 --> 05:32:46.160
I'm going to just go away now.

05:32:46.160 --> 05:32:48.800
That's the plan, especially now you know that Shirou's there.

05:32:48.800 --> 05:32:52.960
And Zontis has to be around short somewhere, so add another one to the tally. Even

05:32:52.960 --> 05:32:58.160
when they're looking good, it just falls apart so quickly. Beautiful little double

05:32:58.160 --> 05:33:04.100
there from Kiyosuke. Really having a poor read of the situation. What's nice is that

05:33:04.100 --> 05:33:07.680
it wasn't just Tessus, you know, trying to lurk the ace on his own. There was Kiyosuke

05:33:07.680 --> 05:33:14.440
to kind of be informed by Tessus from the sound cues, from the death in this case. And

05:33:14.440 --> 05:33:18.920
he profits magnificently, opens up the ace site completely. Another eight, four, half

05:33:18.920 --> 05:33:23.720
a brew in it. Yes, going that way. I should be able to return the AWP towards

05:33:23.720 --> 05:33:28.320
be in Zontics. He's walked into the den, but he might be a right as well. So at least

05:33:28.320 --> 05:33:30.720
two guns kept for the final round of this first half.

05:33:43.400 --> 05:33:47.960
Okay, Lily's going for a palace peak. There you go, Rush. Free bit of information for

05:33:47.960 --> 05:33:48.560
you right there, mate.

05:33:48.560 --> 05:33:56.560
I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

05:33:56.560 --> 05:34:00.560
Rough death for donko. Yeah, he's

05:34:00.560 --> 05:34:03.560
just. Normally every shots in

05:34:03.560 --> 05:34:06.560
this time. Nothing's connecting.

05:34:06.560 --> 05:34:08.560
He's been given the rifle, so

05:34:08.560 --> 05:34:09.560
he's been dropped an a K earlier

05:34:09.560 --> 05:34:10.560
in the piece of a save right

05:34:10.560 --> 05:34:11.560
now. We didn't have enough

05:34:11.560 --> 05:34:13.560
money to buy the four. He's

05:34:13.560 --> 05:34:15.560
been dropped the M four.

05:34:15.560 --> 05:34:16.560
Again, he's instrumental

05:34:16.560 --> 05:34:23.160
second orb. T side. Trying to catch magics on the jump peak. It's a zontics this time.

05:34:23.160 --> 05:34:29.160
Helps out monosie a lot though, they might not expect this. Yeah, I guess you're right.

05:34:29.160 --> 05:34:35.360
The orb fires off a shot. You hope the jungle overplay over extends or balcony. Not giving

05:34:35.360 --> 05:34:44.680
it. Oh, tell a lie, you'll never believe who it is as well. The rifle on dunk down

05:34:44.680 --> 05:34:49.800
as the opening. Immediately, Monacee, hand off the mouse, like to say, so I'm not sure

05:34:49.800 --> 05:34:55.920
if he's helping them move into the next stage of this, but Donk goes 2-10 on the half, 0-3

05:34:55.920 --> 05:35:01.240
in openings, and there might be another 8-4. Falcons just need to put this one in now.

05:35:01.240 --> 05:35:05.240
Still, this is such a power position for an AWPer. Monacee's going to be our disadvantage,

05:35:05.240 --> 05:35:13.240
peek it in, Shiro, profits. They're so paranoid about the connector position

05:35:13.240 --> 05:35:17.280
as well smoke break reveals nothing sure it doesn't profit off of that swing quick

05:35:17.280 --> 05:35:21.960
headshot Niko looking precise dialed in magic's getting cheeky in the smoke push

05:35:21.960 --> 05:35:26.800
comes up from behind catches Kixon trade available though Kiyosuke is found in

05:35:26.800 --> 05:35:33.080
Niko wanted to near and this is looking locked in for the A4 so on things

05:35:33.080 --> 05:35:38.320
has a go doesn't well to break the smoke onto Kiyosuke Niko's holding Niko

05:35:38.320 --> 05:35:41.800
converts Falcons they're making a strong case for a 2 and 0 they want

05:35:41.800 --> 05:35:48.800
those playoffs, it's good vibe tried for Falcons and quite the opposite for spirit.

05:36:41.800 --> 05:36:46.800
Trying to lose myself on the night shift, how I side, yeah

05:36:48.800 --> 05:36:52.800
Baby, can you feel it kinda dry, yeah?

05:36:52.800 --> 05:36:55.800
I'm ready to move for the night, yeah

05:36:56.800 --> 05:37:01.800
Trying to lose myself on the night shift, how I side, yeah

05:37:03.800 --> 05:37:06.800
Taking off control, can you feel it?

05:37:07.800 --> 05:37:10.800
How body's moving closer, is it real?

05:37:10.800 --> 05:37:15.800
Try and love myself on the night shift, out of sight, yeah

05:37:18.800 --> 05:37:21.800
Can you take me, feel me, come and try, yeah

05:37:21.800 --> 05:37:24.800
I'm ready to move on the night shift

05:37:25.800 --> 05:37:30.800
Try and love myself on the night shift, out of sight, yeah

05:38:00.800 --> 05:38:02.800
It's hard not to go

05:38:02.800 --> 05:38:04.800
I'm stuck in my head

05:38:09.800 --> 05:38:12.800
Taking over control, can't feel it

05:38:13.800 --> 05:38:16.800
Our bodies moving closer, is it real?

05:38:17.800 --> 05:38:20.800
Trying to lose myself on the night shift

05:38:20.800 --> 05:38:22.800
Out of sight, yeah

05:38:24.800 --> 05:38:27.800
Baby, can't you feel it coming, try it

05:38:27.800 --> 05:38:31.800
I'm ready to move for the night, yeah

05:38:31.800 --> 05:38:34.800
Try and lose myself on the night shift

05:38:34.800 --> 05:38:36.800
How I side, yeah

05:38:38.800 --> 05:38:42.800
Taking off the control, can you feel it?

05:38:42.800 --> 05:38:46.800
I want it moving closer, is it real?

05:38:46.800 --> 05:38:49.800
Try and lose myself on the night shift

05:38:49.800 --> 05:38:51.800
How I side, yeah

05:39:21.800 --> 05:39:25.160
two of the IEM Rio championship.

05:39:25.160 --> 05:39:25.960
It could be important though,

05:39:25.960 --> 05:39:27.240
Yankee is standing on the desk there,

05:39:27.240 --> 05:39:29.080
that this is the worst season

05:39:29.080 --> 05:39:30.840
that Spirit have had since adding Donk,

05:39:30.840 --> 05:39:33.400
and Donk is having a miserable day of the office right now.

05:39:33.400 --> 05:39:34.680
He's currently too intense.

05:39:34.680 --> 05:39:36.440
That was the CT side.

05:39:36.440 --> 05:39:37.280
He gets to play connector.

05:39:37.280 --> 05:39:39.520
That's the best spot on the entire map.

05:39:39.520 --> 05:39:40.600
I'm trying to flick through his stats.

05:39:40.600 --> 05:39:43.320
See, the last time he ended with,

05:39:43.320 --> 05:39:44.160
score this poorly,

05:39:44.160 --> 05:39:45.800
well, let's wait till the conclusion, shall we?

05:39:45.800 --> 05:39:47.480
A execute on the way.

05:39:47.480 --> 05:39:48.880
Interesting smoke deployed,

05:39:48.880 --> 05:39:51.120
gives them that fronted bloom.

05:39:51.120 --> 05:39:54.560
Honesty's your barrettas, primed and ready, just the two, though.

05:39:54.560 --> 05:39:59.160
Magix responds in kind with a Shiro PT-50 on top and actually threw the smoke.

05:39:59.160 --> 05:40:00.160
Beautiful.

05:40:00.160 --> 05:40:03.560
Magix with impact.

05:40:03.560 --> 05:40:07.360
You can't win both pistols and then still get blown out, can you?

05:40:07.360 --> 05:40:10.920
Surely this is going to have to be the start of something.

05:40:10.920 --> 05:40:13.360
They had opportunities to get the party started.

05:40:13.360 --> 05:40:15.400
Oh, don't give it to Tessus for free.

05:40:15.400 --> 05:40:21.080
Oh, they chased him down, but Magix will still grab another frag.

05:40:21.080 --> 05:40:25.720
What's that seven kills of a both pistols for magics for us the butcher with impact? Oh

05:40:28.760 --> 05:40:31.680
Listen to that it's so cool to see other players, you know

05:40:33.200 --> 05:40:35.720
Entering into their captains the arc

05:40:37.120 --> 05:40:38.540
He's still a very young man

05:40:38.540 --> 05:40:42.160
I know he's been on our screen for a long time, but I think he initially joined spirit back when he was 16

05:40:42.160 --> 05:40:44.440
Yeah, so he's all of 23 now

05:40:44.440 --> 05:40:50.240
I think something along those lines and again it will be important for his development as an in-game leader

05:40:51.080 --> 05:40:53.480
Without Halley here, more responsibility being taken.

05:40:53.480 --> 05:40:58.080
Not just leaving it up to the one man to design everything.

05:40:58.080 --> 05:41:01.380
You have to call your gang. Well, they call themselves into a B-split.

05:41:01.380 --> 05:41:02.880
Magic's already up short.

05:41:04.180 --> 05:41:05.380
Teneric accelerating.

05:41:06.280 --> 05:41:08.480
Tessus, wow, actually gets something going.

05:41:08.480 --> 05:41:11.580
Kiyosuke does too. No, no, no. They can't let this one go.

05:41:12.280 --> 05:41:13.280
You know there's two here.

05:41:13.280 --> 05:41:15.380
Oh, and a body shot softened up by Monacy.

05:41:15.880 --> 05:41:19.280
Tessus gets himself a second on this armored desert eagle.

05:41:19.280 --> 05:41:26.280
Oh, gets him for on the short player. He knows what's up, Shiro as well. They know exactly where the last two players are, and Tessus has hit a third!

05:41:27.680 --> 05:41:33.680
Plus for Shiro, oh, not to be today! Tessus with a quad kill in defense of his sight.

05:41:34.040 --> 05:41:39.820
Okay, well, I guess it can be both pissers and just domination because now you have 1,400 loss bonus.

05:41:39.820 --> 05:41:46.320
You go into the next round of play, probably going to force, but you're talking tech minds or deagles with not an awful lot around it.

05:41:46.320 --> 05:41:48.960
So, Tess S, a remarkable job.

05:41:48.960 --> 05:41:50.920
It's not the weapon for the job though, is it?

05:41:50.920 --> 05:41:53.040
But the fact that he stalls them out, slows them down

05:41:53.040 --> 05:41:54.640
and gets to isolate all of these jewels.

05:41:54.640 --> 05:41:56.200
A masterclass from the Dane.

05:41:57.400 --> 05:41:58.400
And...

05:41:59.240 --> 05:42:01.200
And I'd like to ask for your opinion here,

05:42:01.200 --> 05:42:03.360
just looking at how Magix is processing that.

05:42:03.360 --> 05:42:04.640
You make the call.

05:42:04.640 --> 05:42:06.840
Everyone commits to it. It doesn't work.

05:42:06.840 --> 05:42:08.640
How easy is it to just turn inwards

05:42:08.640 --> 05:42:10.440
and start kind of beating yourself up?

05:42:10.440 --> 05:42:12.480
It's the call's fault. It was my fault.

05:42:12.480 --> 05:42:13.840
I think the thing is,

05:42:13.840 --> 05:42:16.280
the first show from Tess S is abuse, right?

05:42:16.280 --> 05:42:21.340
So you're you're hoping for a trade and that's the truth. I don't think you think the call is the problem

05:42:21.340 --> 05:42:25.060
You go, okay, test is gonna a wicked shot, but there should have been some trades

05:42:25.060 --> 05:42:32.380
I think it's the fact that I think kiss it gets the burst MP9. Yes. Yeah, that that was the pursuit of the trade

05:42:32.380 --> 05:42:33.980
You're right. Okay

05:42:33.980 --> 05:42:38.740
Well for spies. Yeah, okay. Don't get the right. So

05:42:39.860 --> 05:42:41.860
people always have a lot to say about this but

05:42:41.860 --> 05:42:46.120
every time that the rifle has been available and it's only been one or a few

05:42:46.120 --> 05:42:52.320
it's been given a don't he's not buying these himself it's not too late to come

05:42:52.320 --> 05:42:55.680
online I but I'm just scrolling through there's some games here where he's had

05:42:55.680 --> 05:43:03.080
seven kills that's the least I can find so I'm gonna keep looking but it

05:43:03.080 --> 05:43:09.920
could be out of a record six against a mouse back in 2024

05:43:41.860 --> 05:43:43.860
and he's already managed to isolate the first catch.

05:43:43.860 --> 05:43:45.860
He's here on the walk up, transfers into a second onto

05:43:45.860 --> 05:43:49.860
Magics. Niko will finish off the job, sweeps two under the rug,

05:43:49.860 --> 05:43:51.860
and it's all up to that Deglazante.

05:43:51.860 --> 05:43:53.860
It's found and run down by Kixson.

05:43:53.860 --> 05:43:57.860
Okay, so now you take it, Niko. Falcons get 11, 11-5 scoreline.

05:43:57.860 --> 05:44:01.860
You bring out the guns, and if you lose that, you lose the game.

05:44:01.860 --> 05:44:02.860
Right.

05:44:02.860 --> 05:44:05.860
Just with the pattern of rounds and the way you've lost them

05:44:05.860 --> 05:44:07.860
and the fact that you've lost the game, you've lost

05:44:07.860 --> 05:44:08.860
Right.

05:44:08.860 --> 05:44:12.260
Just with the pattern of rounds and the way you've lost them and the fact you didn't give

05:44:12.260 --> 05:44:16.460
yourself a buffer on the CT sides, it's already gotten away from you.

05:44:16.460 --> 05:44:19.300
So I'm going to use this eco to keep scrolling.

05:44:19.300 --> 05:44:22.740
You're going for a lower number, lower than four.

05:44:22.740 --> 05:44:23.740
Yeah, there's another four.

05:44:23.740 --> 05:44:25.220
There's one against G2.

05:44:25.220 --> 05:44:26.220
Okay.

05:44:26.220 --> 05:44:28.220
He's on three.

05:44:28.220 --> 05:44:29.220
Yes.

05:44:29.220 --> 05:44:30.220
So he could tie it up.

05:44:30.220 --> 05:44:31.780
Could be the equalizer here.

05:44:31.780 --> 05:44:34.380
Well, maybe not on the Glock actually.

05:44:34.380 --> 05:44:46.940
can hear the occasional shout coming from the tournament floor as well there is

05:44:46.940 --> 05:44:52.380
liquid versus 3d max mentioned that a couple of times this is a group a lower

05:44:52.380 --> 05:44:57.620
bracket loser match so one of the two will be going home at the conclusion I

05:44:57.620 --> 05:45:01.740
won't do the spoiler you guys can go and check it out yourself and then after

05:45:01.740 --> 05:45:06.700
that they're going to be having bait versus passion UA. That's Senzu who is not with the

05:45:06.700 --> 05:45:12.340
team. Long story, but essentially when the VRS invite went out, it was regional for passion

05:45:12.340 --> 05:45:18.020
UA. For North America, they had three players to represent at least the region by VRS rules.

05:45:18.020 --> 05:45:21.060
Since the roster change is getting rid of Grim, they no longer have that. So to comply,

05:45:21.060 --> 05:45:27.260
they need Fang to stand in. We'll be bringing Navi versus Furia up next on the A stream.

05:45:27.260 --> 05:45:29.260
should be a banger.

05:45:29.260 --> 05:45:31.260
Clean.

05:45:31.260 --> 05:45:33.260
Keep it spotless.

05:45:33.260 --> 05:45:35.260
So they've achieved it.

05:45:35.260 --> 05:45:37.260
Just don't cowering in the palace,

05:45:37.260 --> 05:45:39.260
and it doesn't look like the MP9 wants a bit of that.

05:45:43.260 --> 05:45:45.260
Could reload.

05:45:45.260 --> 05:45:47.260
Think you will?

05:45:47.260 --> 05:45:49.260
Guys, don't cast to come to you.

05:45:49.260 --> 05:45:51.260
You know, you're good.

05:45:51.260 --> 05:45:53.260
They really want to kill him.

05:45:53.260 --> 05:46:00.260
I heard top mid. I heard top

05:46:00.260 --> 05:46:02.260
mid as well. Well, it's crazy.

05:46:02.260 --> 05:46:04.260
We can speak Russian. Yeah,

05:46:04.260 --> 05:46:08.260
dude. You know, all these

05:46:08.260 --> 05:46:11.260
years. This isn't the barn

05:46:11.260 --> 05:46:13.260
burner of a match I was expecting.

05:46:13.260 --> 05:46:21.260
No, it's, um. Very, very one

05:46:21.260 --> 05:46:26.940
very one-sided day. Okay, I think four is the lowest amount of kills in a map

05:46:26.940 --> 05:46:34.100
Donka's gotten since being in this spirit main team. Okay. I'm not gonna bother going

05:46:34.100 --> 05:46:39.460
to Academy. No, but there's still a... I'm staying with the main team. That works.

05:46:42.420 --> 05:46:50.360
Alleyoop! Man, bugs. It's too simple! Oh man. The well oiled Falcons machine

05:46:50.360 --> 05:46:59.320
just pumping at the moment this is them on the cusp of a change looking great looking great as is

05:46:59.320 --> 05:47:06.760
just the way with counter strike it's such a recurring theme isn't it though there's so many

05:47:06.760 --> 05:47:11.960
times that we've seen this happen in history it falcons being one of them getting rid of

05:47:11.960 --> 05:47:17.400
Dexter was MVP of the event they won yeah right pgeol bukera yeah pgeol bukera's last year right

05:47:17.400 --> 05:47:21.640
Look at this continued push from Kixen.

05:47:21.640 --> 05:47:24.560
Thanks here in the U2, you got to keep going now.

05:47:24.560 --> 05:47:27.000
If anything, you know you've got one.

05:47:27.000 --> 05:47:28.000
See ya mate.

05:47:28.000 --> 05:47:29.480
Second kill in the round, Kixen.

05:47:29.480 --> 05:47:30.480
Beautiful.

05:47:30.480 --> 05:47:37.600
The ball on Magix is back as well, so they'll still be on high alert elsewhere.

05:47:37.600 --> 05:47:38.600
Nice.

05:47:38.600 --> 05:47:40.600
High flash.

05:47:40.600 --> 05:47:43.600
It allows Niko to start searching.

05:47:43.600 --> 05:47:45.600
Nice shots.

05:47:45.600 --> 05:47:49.440
good for it, but Niko, he's just having absolutely none of it. Now the bomb spotted on the staircase,

05:47:49.440 --> 05:47:53.600
Shiro mantling up, trying to clear around Niko. He's got a player underneath though, kicks him down

05:47:53.600 --> 05:47:59.040
to Donk, important fourth frag found, and now a chance in the two on two. That's a skin denied.

05:47:59.040 --> 05:48:04.640
Fake, oh, couldn't find the headshot required. Brought down, and Shiro in the clutch.

05:48:04.640 --> 05:48:07.360
Now he's looking both on with 10 seconds though, he's got to get that plant.

05:48:07.360 --> 05:48:11.440
He's got to focus on the plant. He's not even near the bomb. Okay, monosy secures it.

05:48:11.440 --> 05:48:14.240
Falcon's 12, Spirit 5.

05:48:14.240 --> 05:48:18.740
If I can do it in this form tomorrow, it's a good thing Vitality had that wake-up call against GT

05:48:18.740 --> 05:48:20.240
because they're going to need it.

05:48:20.240 --> 05:48:25.940
And again, I'm sure they have a score to settle off of that bounty loss when Nucleon's was in the server.

05:48:28.740 --> 05:48:30.840
That's a very nimble work from Kixon.

05:48:31.340 --> 05:48:33.240
Ramp, Palace, he's everywhere.

05:48:36.340 --> 05:48:39.840
Here is what is likely the final round of this series.

05:48:39.840 --> 05:48:42.840
Sounds like a non-starter, but not if you're a Falcons fan.

05:48:51.840 --> 05:48:56.840
Two MP7s, a Mach 10, two Galils, a couple of smokes.

05:49:03.840 --> 05:49:05.840
Well, I don't think that's where that was intended.

05:49:09.840 --> 05:49:18.840
On the short side, Kiyosuke opened up a threat.

05:49:18.840 --> 05:49:29.560
Wow, they are going short side, I'm honestly going to try and find a deeper line, Niko does

05:49:29.560 --> 05:49:33.160
well, catches in combination and finds the follow up.

05:49:33.160 --> 05:49:36.520
Donk down, sideline 4 and 16.

05:49:36.520 --> 05:49:38.360
Tessus nails his head shot.

05:49:38.360 --> 05:49:40.160
He hears the encroaching to near.

05:49:40.160 --> 05:49:42.280
He can hear that Mach 10.

05:49:42.280 --> 05:49:44.520
Falcons, the playoffs calling their name.

05:49:44.520 --> 05:49:46.480
Shiro puts a couple down in the grave.

05:49:46.480 --> 05:49:48.840
Tessus and Kiyosuke brought down by the galil.

05:49:48.840 --> 05:49:50.440
He's got the bomb and he's got to get across

05:49:50.440 --> 05:49:52.160
the sideline of Monosizor.

05:49:52.160 --> 05:49:54.080
Good flash could catch him, but no,

05:49:54.080 --> 05:49:56.640
doesn't do what it's supposed to.

05:49:56.640 --> 05:49:57.720
Ooh, but a missed shot.

05:49:57.720 --> 05:49:59.880
Monosizor, that's not the follow up.

05:49:59.880 --> 05:50:01.360
Nuts.

05:50:01.360 --> 05:50:02.760
And now Shiro in the clutch.

05:50:02.760 --> 05:50:08.220
he's gonna pull it between his eyes from Captain Kixson, Falcons in the playoffs.

05:50:08.220 --> 05:50:14.720
Casualty the office here, they stroll in and they get the job done. 13-4-13-5.

05:50:14.720 --> 05:50:19.640
Black's spirit didn't come to play today. Falcons have locked themselves in for a

05:50:19.640 --> 05:50:23.940
seeding match against Vitality in Group A but they will play in the arena come

05:50:23.940 --> 05:50:27.960
the weekend and they're playing this type of counter strike. Who cares that

05:50:27.960 --> 05:50:30.960
the Ross is gonna change after? We're focusing the right here the right

05:50:30.960 --> 05:50:36.000
now this draws them up to the contender conversation once more we always know the

05:50:36.000 --> 05:50:39.680
pieces in this team what they're capable of it's getting them all singing from the

05:50:39.680 --> 05:50:44.160
same hymn sheet and today that was a beautiful sounding choir Alex yeah that

05:50:44.160 --> 05:50:48.060
was stunning I mean really once again puts them in that conversation as you

05:50:48.060 --> 05:50:52.440
said I think that's something to keep an eye on for Team Spirit the same

05:50:52.440 --> 05:50:57.200
actually I mean don't with a tying his record for lowest pride performance

05:50:57.200 --> 05:50:59.200
in that routine spirit of main team.

05:50:59.200 --> 05:51:02.200
We're going to try to fry it down the sidelines for a post-game interview.

05:51:03.200 --> 05:51:07.200
Falcons looking incredibly sharp and of course cementing themselves as spots in the playoffs.

05:51:07.200 --> 05:51:12.200
Tezos, first of all congratulations doing that against one of if not the best referee in the world.

05:51:12.200 --> 05:51:14.200
That's no small feat, right?

05:51:14.200 --> 05:51:18.200
No, definitely not. I think we're quite lucky he had a somewhat of a bad day

05:51:18.200 --> 05:51:21.200
and kind of capitalised really good on that.

05:51:21.200 --> 05:51:24.200
And our G-dice today was really amazing.

05:51:24.200 --> 05:51:30.440
Alex just said it I believe that was the lowest amount of frags that dogs ever got in the official game one of the lowest ratings as well

05:51:30.440 --> 05:51:33.620
That you submitted to him. So it's a nice cherry on top for you as well as playoffs

05:51:33.620 --> 05:51:37.040
Yeah, I guess so it doesn't really focus on him too much, but yeah

05:51:37.760 --> 05:51:41.360
It means we did something really well at least these past couple of days

05:51:41.360 --> 05:51:46.280
This is like one of the most fluid free-flowing versions of Falcons that we've seen this year, right?

05:51:46.280 --> 05:51:48.120
Any particular reason for that?

05:51:48.120 --> 05:51:49.800
No, I don't know

05:51:49.800 --> 05:51:55.720
Right now we're just kind of feeling it in the moment and doing what we want and kind of playing a little bit more loose

05:51:55.720 --> 05:52:01.100
And we have done in the past and for now it's working really well for us hang off massively tassels. Congratulations. We'll see you in the playoffs

05:52:03.560 --> 05:52:07.740
Yeah, well, how's it that the storyline that you want to see if you like watching the Falcons

05:52:07.740 --> 05:52:11.560
Yanko does so what is it? Yanko have it figured out trade. Okay, go on right

05:52:11.560 --> 05:52:15.160
You don't even have to do it for real, but right before the major

05:52:15.160 --> 05:52:18.620
just leak that you're gonna replace a player if you're Falcons.

05:52:18.620 --> 05:52:22.180
Right, because every time it happens they're playing their best CS.

05:52:22.180 --> 05:52:24.340
Casters talked about it last year in Bucharest,

05:52:24.340 --> 05:52:26.980
they've been a dexter who was on the way out against the MVP.

05:52:26.980 --> 05:52:33.060
They beat Monos CMG 2 in the final and now with Kixson on his way out allegedly.

05:52:33.060 --> 05:52:39.060
They are already in the playoffs, they just stomped Team Spirit in two maps.

05:52:39.060 --> 05:52:44.140
And who knows, maybe they can even challenge Vitality tomorrow.

05:52:44.140 --> 05:52:52.140
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I think there's a big difference between what happened in the Cluj-Champoong-Ras with Dexter.

05:52:52.140 --> 05:52:56.140
They also did lose the first two games, were 0-1-2, all of a sudden turned it around.

05:52:56.140 --> 05:53:00.140
Let's be honest, you know, fuck into the group stage, we've seen this level before. This is not new.

05:53:00.140 --> 05:53:06.140
I know the fun story is the kicks in, you know, and playing loose Counter-Strike, but I want to see it in the playoff.

05:53:06.140 --> 05:53:11.140
I want to see that loose Counter-Strike, you know, and that relief of pressure, you know, being played out in a potential semi-final,

05:53:11.140 --> 05:53:16.100
Maybe against Vitality as well in that game, but I'm not I'm not buying into it just yet

05:53:16.100 --> 05:53:20.400
Because I've seen Falcons play some beautiful counter-strike in group stage before but I haven't seen it in the playoff

05:53:20.660 --> 05:53:22.420
That's my issue. Well, Vitality?

05:53:22.420 --> 05:53:28.500
Yeah, we'll see. It just feels different when you watch them play. You can just tell like there's no pressure there

05:53:28.500 --> 05:53:32.580
They're just rolling with whatever the call is whatever a player is feeling like doing

05:53:32.580 --> 05:53:36.220
They're just running with it and even rounds with their on the back foot a little bit

05:53:36.220 --> 05:53:43.780
There was a round where Niko gets two kills with the Deagle, the round where Kyosuke brings it back with a couple of kills lurking on the A-bomb side.

05:53:43.780 --> 05:53:54.040
Like everything just seems to be going their way. They lost both pistols in this game and they won 13-5, I mean, that's as dominant as it gets really in a way and what does that say about Team Spirit?

05:53:54.040 --> 05:54:05.900
Really, you know, we're here yet again, now they're going back into the lower bracket, sure, they're still the main favorite to make it over there but, I mean, to lose in such a dominant fashion.

05:54:05.900 --> 05:54:08.380
like it's not going to instill any confidence in the players.

05:54:08.380 --> 05:54:11.060
It's fun, you hold it up against what's happened so far in the season as well,

05:54:11.060 --> 05:54:13.940
you know, adding to the fact that Donk seemingly had his worst performance ever

05:54:13.940 --> 05:54:14.940
in a spirit jersey as well.

05:54:14.940 --> 05:54:18.620
There's just a lot of, you know, alarming signals coming out of Team Spirit right now.

05:54:18.620 --> 05:54:20.660
And while they may be the favorite in the lower bracket,

05:54:20.660 --> 05:54:22.300
I wouldn't say that they're heavy favorites, I think,

05:54:22.300 --> 05:54:25.300
G2 with the way they've been playing as of late and with a roster change,

05:54:25.300 --> 05:54:29.460
and maybe coming in with renewed energy could do the dirty stuff to Spirit.

05:54:29.460 --> 05:54:32.540
I'm afraid of Spirit right now, you know, I'm not really happy with what I'm seeing.

05:54:32.540 --> 05:54:38.700
Yeah, it's an unfortunate reality for Spirit fans, Liquid fans, Gentlemates fans. Those guys are definitely

05:54:39.060 --> 05:54:44.100
already on their way home. At least we have a matchup in front of us with the hometown heroes in it.

05:54:44.100 --> 05:54:49.260
We're looking at Furia on one side and then when we go to jump back into the server itself for Furia,

05:54:49.260 --> 05:54:51.880
I don't know. It's a Brazilian matchup.

05:54:51.880 --> 05:54:54.460
It's one of those they have to hold on to in the palm of their hand.

05:54:54.460 --> 05:54:59.680
They're gonna look to do just that. So we'll see this one on the other side of the break here with Furia and Navi.

05:55:02.540 --> 05:55:04.540
Placent matches set your starting point.

05:55:04.540 --> 05:55:07.540
Facet rating measures your impact as you climb.

05:55:07.540 --> 05:55:11.540
The soft ELO reset narrows the gap between the highest ELO players and the rest of level 10.

05:55:11.540 --> 05:55:14.540
Your starting point will be based on your recent ELO inactivity.

05:55:14.540 --> 05:55:20.540
We're introducing Facet rating so you can see exactly how much you stack up against others at your level.

05:55:20.540 --> 05:55:24.540
Facet rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning the match.

05:55:24.540 --> 05:55:27.540
Picking into account the full situation.

05:55:27.540 --> 05:55:30.540
Season 8 launches April 22nd.

05:55:30.540 --> 05:55:32.540
Good luck, and have fun!

05:56:30.540 --> 05:56:36.260
I'm going to the airport to meet fans, all the fans who support Fure, I really like it.

05:56:36.260 --> 05:56:39.700
Thank you for your support, what can I say?

05:56:39.700 --> 05:56:42.540
Let's go to the match which you're about to play against Navi.

05:56:42.540 --> 05:56:45.900
I want to talk about it because it's always a very close match.

05:56:45.900 --> 05:56:50.300
It happened at the beginning of the year but also they denied you that major run in

05:56:50.300 --> 05:56:51.300
Budapest.

05:56:51.300 --> 05:56:52.940
Always a three-mapper, always very close.

05:56:52.940 --> 05:56:55.940
Can you give us a little bit of an insight, why is that, why it's so difficult to

05:56:55.940 --> 05:56:56.940
play against them?

05:56:56.940 --> 05:56:59.140
Obviously they're a good team but it's always kind of like back and forth.

05:56:59.140 --> 05:57:06.140
You know when you play against Na'Vi, every time it's a hard game because they know how we're playing and we know how they're playing.

05:57:06.140 --> 05:57:15.140
And you just need to choose to write a mind game and it's on the just like that, you know?

05:57:15.140 --> 05:57:21.140
When you're talking about these mind games, this is kind of like coming down to experience when you have Vik and Dara and you have fallen on the team.

05:57:21.140 --> 05:57:24.140
Are they responsible for these kind of like game plans against these teams?

05:57:24.140 --> 05:57:32.140
Probably yes, but sometimes we can change something, maybe they can show something and we can change the game.

05:57:32.140 --> 05:57:40.140
You know, it's just working step by step, you know, and they can do something, they can choose something.

05:57:40.140 --> 05:57:44.140
It's always mind games, always. Again, it's a very hard game.

05:57:44.140 --> 05:57:48.140
Speaking about mind and preparation, I want to talk about you specifically a little bit.

05:57:48.140 --> 05:57:51.140
You've been really stellar in group stages all the time,

05:57:51.140 --> 05:57:55.640
but it's been a talking point recently, where whenever you hit the playoffs it's kind of like a down spiral.

05:57:55.640 --> 05:58:00.640
Have you been focusing on this lately, like trying to bring up that performance from the group stages?

05:58:00.640 --> 05:58:03.640
Because I just want to hear your honest opinion, obviously.

05:58:03.640 --> 05:58:08.640
It's all coming down to preparation, an individual may be slump or a form, but how do you feel about it?

05:58:08.640 --> 05:58:12.640
You know, I'm changing game now, because before when I joined,

05:58:12.640 --> 05:58:19.640
I thinking just like I need to play more individual for myself, but not for team.

05:58:19.640 --> 05:58:24.760
But now, when we have break to weeks, I'm just starting thinking like this, maybe I need to

05:58:24.760 --> 05:58:30.560
play not for myself, just maybe for my team, and I'm just improving, how can I help my team?

05:58:30.560 --> 05:58:32.640
And it's only just like that.

05:58:32.640 --> 05:58:38.560
If you're not helping to team, I think you don't have chance to win trophies.

05:58:38.560 --> 05:58:44.680
But if you're just thinking about only your team, how we can win another team, it's

05:58:44.680 --> 05:58:45.680
better.

05:58:45.680 --> 05:58:49.800
are some beautiful words for everyone who is playing Counter-Strike team game is obviously

05:58:49.800 --> 05:58:54.000
more important than individual one. I wish you good luck in this and back to the desk,

05:58:54.000 --> 05:58:58.160
Janko, Pimp and Stunna. Take it away.

05:58:58.160 --> 05:59:08.640
The Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL in partnership with Intel,

05:59:08.640 --> 05:59:10.640
Acer Predator

05:59:11.840 --> 05:59:13.840
Jax

05:59:15.440 --> 05:59:17.440
And DHL

05:59:29.920 --> 05:59:35.000
So let's get it going with two teams that you are ultra familiar with that is the side of fury of you Navi

05:59:35.000 --> 05:59:36.560
But we're not quite there just yet

05:59:36.560 --> 05:59:38.280
but we need to fill in some of our predictions

05:59:38.280 --> 05:59:39.720
for the remainder of these brackets.

05:59:39.720 --> 05:59:41.720
Gentlemen, as this tournament takes shape,

05:59:41.720 --> 05:59:43.880
we've already got two of our teams situated.

05:59:43.880 --> 05:59:46.200
So perhaps we can ride this lightning

05:59:46.200 --> 05:59:47.400
just a little bit here.

05:59:49.400 --> 05:59:52.040
Yeah, no big surprise, to be completely honest.

05:59:52.040 --> 05:59:53.800
When you think of it, my mentality made me,

05:59:53.800 --> 05:59:55.680
I think the surprise was the fashion it happened into it.

05:59:55.680 --> 05:59:57.920
You know, my mentality is struggling a little bit.

05:59:57.920 --> 05:59:58.920
They said they're gonna see it too,

05:59:58.920 --> 06:00:00.440
and I think it was surprising as well

06:00:00.440 --> 06:00:02.520
to see Falcons beat the spirit the way they did,

06:00:02.520 --> 06:00:04.560
but they broke the spot into it right now,

06:00:04.560 --> 06:00:07.280
which means there's only one more team who can make it from that.

06:00:07.280 --> 06:00:12.120
Yeah, we were talking about it just now, that Spirit should be favored in that lower bracket,

06:00:12.120 --> 06:00:15.120
but G2 and our team that has a stand-in,

06:00:15.120 --> 06:00:19.720
attacked instead of Hunter, their IGL is missing, they almost beat Vitality today.

06:00:19.720 --> 06:00:22.280
So when you look at how they played today and how Spirit did,

06:00:22.280 --> 06:00:24.600
like you're thinking G2 has a chance,

06:00:24.600 --> 06:00:27.560
Red Knits won their game, so did 3D Max,

06:00:27.560 --> 06:00:30.000
so I don't think Red Knits can necessarily make it,

06:00:30.000 --> 06:00:33.560
but 3D Max, if he gets on the roll, could potentially ruin someone else's day.

06:00:33.560 --> 06:00:37.080
Yeah, that's what I wanted to say, 3D Max has the potential to wake up a little bit later.

06:00:37.080 --> 06:00:40.520
I don't want to say as a sleeper pick or some sort of dark horse pick, right, Jacob?

06:00:40.520 --> 06:00:41.960
But there's a chance for 3D Max.

06:00:41.960 --> 06:00:45.160
I think so. I think 3D Max are eyeing an opportunity right now.

06:00:45.160 --> 06:00:49.560
You know, them not cutting it off for the Major is also giving a bit more, I guess,

06:00:49.560 --> 06:00:52.240
importance to this tournament. They have to build up their ranking.

06:00:52.240 --> 06:00:55.800
They have to build up themselves again in order to be in the precision for the next Major

06:00:55.800 --> 06:00:57.360
and hopefully to qualify for that.

06:00:57.360 --> 06:01:00.840
So, yeah, I think 3D Max is in contention, but regardless of that, you know,

06:01:00.840 --> 06:01:03.920
When was the last time we saw Donk have two terrible series in a row?

06:01:03.920 --> 06:01:06.880
I think he'll figure out how to get it done in the lower bracket,

06:01:06.880 --> 06:01:08.280
and for me it's going to be fair.

06:01:08.280 --> 06:01:09.800
And it will have to be a long day, right?

06:01:09.800 --> 06:01:12.480
Two games tomorrow for these teams in the lower bracket,

06:01:12.480 --> 06:01:16.400
but you're going to have to go with Spirit just for Donk?

06:01:16.400 --> 06:01:17.480
Just have to.

06:01:17.480 --> 06:01:18.600
So let's flip it over to B.

06:01:18.600 --> 06:01:20.880
Yeah, and we'll have in these two games

06:01:20.880 --> 06:01:22.080
that are following on the A-Stream,

06:01:22.080 --> 06:01:23.920
we'll get two names for that group,

06:01:23.920 --> 06:01:27.800
B between Furia, Navi, Aurora and Maus.

06:01:27.800 --> 06:01:33.440
Personally, I'm leaning with Furia and Aurora.

06:01:33.640 --> 06:01:37.080
Miles has just been pretty disappointing lately,

06:01:37.080 --> 06:01:39.800
and Aurora has been one of the more consistent teams this season.

06:01:39.800 --> 06:01:43.320
And I know Navi has been probably the second best team in the world right now,

06:01:43.320 --> 06:01:47.160
but these series do get kind of close between the two teams.

06:01:47.160 --> 06:01:49.920
I really believe there's some extra motivation in there,

06:01:49.920 --> 06:01:52.280
obviously for Furia and their players,

06:01:52.280 --> 06:01:53.520
especially the Brazilians,

06:01:53.520 --> 06:02:00.240
and it is Uri who's been struggling to regain his form from last year in 2026 so far.

06:02:00.240 --> 06:02:05.520
So if he can have an uptick in performance, I think it's enough for Furia to win today.

06:02:05.520 --> 06:02:07.840
Yeah, I'd be willing to start with you on that one.

06:02:07.840 --> 06:02:10.920
I will say I think Navi have been the better team so far in 2026

06:02:10.920 --> 06:02:13.440
and I think in a match up right here, it can't go either way.

06:02:13.440 --> 06:02:16.920
But the extra motivation for Furia and the fact that it's very important for them,

06:02:16.920 --> 06:02:20.520
obviously, to perform on home soil, I'm willing to go with you on that one.

06:02:20.520 --> 06:02:24.120
However, Aurora vs. Maus, that's where I would make a case for Maus to be completely honest.

06:02:24.120 --> 06:02:25.120
I do agree with you.

06:02:25.120 --> 06:02:26.120
Still a believer.

06:02:26.120 --> 06:02:30.880
Still a believer in Maus's group stage, I know one of them was a disaster and 0-26 hasn't

06:02:30.880 --> 06:02:35.040
been pretty but I still see Maus as a team that even in a group stage game like this

06:02:35.040 --> 06:02:37.240
should be able to take down Aurora.

06:02:37.240 --> 06:02:40.720
Aurora that as of late has been playing better, sure, but I don't see them as a team

06:02:40.720 --> 06:02:43.480
on the same level as Maus when they're not missing it.

06:02:43.480 --> 06:02:48.600
I think there's no doubt that Navi, even if they lose today to Fury, I think will

06:02:48.600 --> 06:02:53.800
still be able to make it through in the lower bracket. They just found their renewed confidence

06:02:53.800 --> 06:02:58.120
with some of these tournaments lately, you know, making it final. Last obviously winning

06:02:58.680 --> 06:03:03.720
ESL Pro League and lifting the trophy there. It was huge for them and yeah, they just seem like

06:03:03.720 --> 06:03:10.120
a different team lately. You want to fight me on Aurora mouse? Absolutely. Yeah. Ready? Fight.

06:03:10.120 --> 06:03:13.800
Okay, you have to decide, Trace, because we're split. Yeah, I mean that is how the

06:03:13.800 --> 06:03:17.400
Trambert thing works. And really I'm starting towards Aurora to be completely honest. And

06:03:17.400 --> 06:03:18.880
And that's just because of the consistent matter.

06:03:18.880 --> 06:03:19.880
I knew it was trying to play.

06:03:19.880 --> 06:03:20.880
I was trying to ask him, right?

06:03:20.880 --> 06:03:21.880
Well, I wasn't a mistake.

06:03:21.880 --> 06:03:23.120
I mean, two is more than one.

06:03:23.120 --> 06:03:24.600
It's a sensible man right there.

06:03:24.600 --> 06:03:26.680
That's what they all say about Trace Tana Saranth.

06:03:26.680 --> 06:03:28.240
That's what most people have tried to say.

06:03:28.240 --> 06:03:29.240
I put it right.

06:03:29.240 --> 06:03:30.440
We definitely did not say mouse.

06:03:30.440 --> 06:03:32.400
We definitely said Aurora.

06:03:32.400 --> 06:03:34.680
And that's just because, Jacob, I'm sorry about that.

06:03:34.680 --> 06:03:39.320
But in all fairness, I think Aurora gets enough reps that they should just be able

06:03:39.320 --> 06:03:42.960
to stay consistent, whereas mouse hasn't even come close to the word consistent for

06:03:42.960 --> 06:03:43.960
me.

06:03:43.960 --> 06:03:44.960
Yeah, I agree.

06:03:44.960 --> 06:03:46.680
But I don't think mouse is that bad.

06:03:46.680 --> 06:03:51.740
I think they have had a rough time and I think they need desperately to do well here as well to farm some confidence for Cologne and

06:03:51.820 --> 06:03:53.900
Make us believe they can be a decent team again

06:03:53.900 --> 06:03:58.240
So I'd be disappointed if they don't beat a world to be honest, but yeah, I've been disappointed in myself so far

06:03:58.240 --> 06:04:01.120
So why not you'll be disappointed no matter what happens Jacob?

06:04:01.760 --> 06:04:03.760
I think I'm hard to disappoint. Yeah

06:04:04.840 --> 06:04:05.960
No

06:04:05.960 --> 06:04:11.840
Well, that's that's okay. Yeah, there's something right there. Yeah, let's strap it into right matches only

06:04:11.840 --> 06:04:14.020
It's driving it right into Furia and Navi.

06:04:14.020 --> 06:04:14.860
It's a big game.

06:04:14.860 --> 06:04:16.900
It's a very big game, not only for the reasons

06:04:16.900 --> 06:04:18.860
that Janko mentioned, you know, Furia, home turf,

06:04:18.860 --> 06:04:21.380
they want to make the playoff, but these are the two teams

06:04:21.380 --> 06:04:23.140
that I consider to be in the fight

06:04:23.140 --> 06:04:24.620
for being the second best team in the world.

06:04:24.620 --> 06:04:26.100
These are the two teams that I'd expect

06:04:26.100 --> 06:04:27.860
if anyone, at the moment,

06:04:27.860 --> 06:04:29.380
should be able to take down Vitality,

06:04:29.380 --> 06:04:31.420
if anyone can bring a fight against Vitality,

06:04:31.420 --> 06:04:33.420
especially with the way they played against T2,

06:04:33.420 --> 06:04:35.060
then I'm looking at Furia and Navi

06:04:35.060 --> 06:04:36.740
to be the first contender.

06:04:36.740 --> 06:04:38.540
So I think this matchup in itself

06:04:38.540 --> 06:04:39.540
is important for both teams.

06:04:39.540 --> 06:04:40.980
They obviously want to make the playoff,

06:04:40.980 --> 06:04:45.460
but also in terms of figuring out who's actually the second best, third best team in the world as of right now.

06:04:45.460 --> 06:04:48.460
Sort of separating that patch, Yankee, where's your headline on this one?

06:04:48.460 --> 06:04:56.300
A similar map pulled like last time, Nuke is in the pool this time instead of Inferno Navi gets rid of it in the second phase,

06:04:56.300 --> 06:05:02.260
but yeah, we talked about how for Dust2 Navi has actually become more proficient on its mirage,

06:05:02.260 --> 06:05:05.460
was where Fury turned their fortune around in Krakow,

06:05:05.460 --> 06:05:11.060
Last time these two teams faced off against each other, being able to take down Navi on that map.

06:05:11.060 --> 06:05:16.760
So we'll see if his history plays more of a role here today or recently.

06:05:16.760 --> 06:05:20.760
To me the biggest mismatch on the server is Yuri vs Bith in essence.

06:05:20.760 --> 06:05:24.760
I think that's one way it really favours heavily towards the side of Navi.

06:05:24.760 --> 06:05:28.260
So I'm curious to see if Yuri can come back to form, because that's going to be neat.

06:05:28.260 --> 06:05:31.560
Yeah, well let's just watch this game. Let's just start with this first map.

06:05:31.560 --> 06:05:34.060
Let's go ahead and get it going. Navi, be pure now.

06:05:35.460 --> 06:05:39.460
Big day ahead of these teams, playoffs on the line,

06:05:39.460 --> 06:05:43.460
Furia versus Navi, and that's dead on, right?

06:05:43.460 --> 06:05:45.460
Trying to figure out where these teams place,

06:05:45.460 --> 06:05:47.460
who is kind of that second best team runner

06:05:47.460 --> 06:05:49.460
who could challenge the likes of Vitality

06:05:49.460 --> 06:05:53.460
and do we get to see Furia in front of the home crowd

06:05:53.460 --> 06:05:54.460
in Brazil?

06:05:54.460 --> 06:05:56.460
It feels like that's bound to happen

06:05:56.460 --> 06:05:58.460
with the performance we got out of Furia yesterday.

06:05:58.460 --> 06:06:00.460
Everyone changes day-to-day in Counter-Strike.

06:06:00.460 --> 06:06:01.460
That's the fun of this sport,

06:06:01.460 --> 06:06:04.460
but Furia looked solid against Passion U.A.

06:06:04.460 --> 06:06:10.120
way, and Navi, despite a 13-0 in their series, did slip up on that bad pick, although we know

06:06:10.120 --> 06:06:16.300
that's all too common for this team. Mirage, Navi's choice today, coming in quick on this

06:06:16.300 --> 06:06:19.980
T side, but Fiori have no one in the site.

06:06:19.980 --> 06:06:26.880
Well, Fiori up first and the first to get toppled. If you kind of are trying to watch

06:06:26.880 --> 06:06:30.660
them spill in, but for now, Navi have this A site, it's going to come down to

06:06:30.660 --> 06:06:32.660
a retake for Fiori.

06:06:32.660 --> 06:06:37.440
Well, can Fulham really get through this window? No, he's still on the line.

06:06:37.440 --> 06:06:41.360
So even with the attempted cover from your Kindar, this is deep control for Narvi.

06:06:41.360 --> 06:06:45.840
Like that whole round kind of hinging on taking back this jungle space, and you've just been

06:06:45.840 --> 06:06:50.000
re-smoked here. It's all got denied. You're stuck in this choke point with no way left

06:06:50.000 --> 06:06:53.800
to go. If you're fury, you need Molotov to offer something up.

06:06:53.800 --> 06:06:57.800
Given a chance, but nothing connects. Narvi, this is a very powerful position to be,

06:06:57.800 --> 06:07:01.720
and they've got post plans across the field. Man advantage. Should be no way

06:07:01.720 --> 06:07:05.640
back into this for Furia to done deal. Navi opened things up with a pistol round.

06:07:10.440 --> 06:07:16.200
Oh, exits. Well, fun money, maybe. Could be seeing a chance to drop something over.

06:07:17.800 --> 06:07:23.560
But only 2800 on the end. Cacerato not able to. Navi come through with a very important pistol.

06:07:25.640 --> 06:07:30.440
On a, you know, we know Navi, we know what to expect, right? They like a long series. I

06:07:30.440 --> 06:07:36.680
I feel like this map of the series has three maps written and we're going to find out if

06:07:36.680 --> 06:07:41.240
Navi can actually take their map pick today.

06:07:41.240 --> 06:07:45.480
Often a rarity, Furious Mirage was rock solid yesterday.

06:07:45.480 --> 06:07:51.560
Even with the absence of Molodoy until that final round, he won them two important low

06:07:51.560 --> 06:07:56.000
econ rounds at the tail end of the game, but otherwise he was having some unfortunate

06:07:56.000 --> 06:08:00.320
moments, some frustrating moments.

06:08:00.320 --> 06:08:06.200
Now with everything on the line with playoffs in the crosshairs of both these squads.

06:08:07.700 --> 06:08:08.660
It's a little play for.

06:08:15.980 --> 06:08:17.780
I'm gonna flash pop for your kinder.

06:08:17.960 --> 06:08:19.620
Using the D. Go like a five seven.

06:08:21.780 --> 06:08:25.360
Wonderful was there to play anti and stop that from getting too weird.

06:08:25.360 --> 06:08:32.280
And so for now a bit of a stalemate, but honestly I don't think Navier are incredibly happy

06:08:32.280 --> 06:08:33.280
with that.

06:08:33.280 --> 06:08:37.880
Now they're losing space out towards the apartments, and so slowly but surely Furia building a

06:08:37.880 --> 06:08:39.640
better picture of where this one's ending up.

06:08:39.640 --> 06:08:45.680
They've got a three-man A-stack right now.

06:08:45.680 --> 06:08:48.480
Backstab even on the carts for Fallen.

06:08:48.480 --> 06:08:52.480
I mean, Amos dead here, right?

06:08:52.480 --> 06:08:55.480
Yeah, you can't mess this up, can you?

06:08:55.480 --> 06:09:04.180
Fallen grabs the gun, out of Palace, come Narvi, and they're storming in, but they're taking a lot of damage there and clear below the middle with Yuri recovers.

06:09:04.180 --> 06:09:10.480
This round is gone for Narvi, nothing to celebrate there, an absolute smash.

06:09:10.480 --> 06:09:17.480
Fallen double kill, and Furia armed, and ever dangerous.

06:09:17.480 --> 06:09:22.680
And honestly, the worst round to lose in any game is the second round.

06:09:29.480 --> 06:09:31.240
That's going to put Narvi out of commission.

06:09:33.080 --> 06:09:35.000
Fallen bring a lot of energy in these couple of games.

06:09:35.000 --> 06:09:39.080
Even yesterday, in his passion, things quietened down by the time of Mirage,

06:09:39.080 --> 06:09:42.040
but that first map, he was bringing a lot of hype.

06:09:42.040 --> 06:09:47.040
Ouch.

06:09:47.040 --> 06:09:56.040
I mean, you want to bring in that type of an energy to this match in particular, right?

06:09:56.040 --> 06:10:01.040
Because the passion one felt like a bit of a foregone conclusion was the vibe that you got.

06:10:01.040 --> 06:10:06.040
They kind of just accepted the fact that they'd already won the series in map two.

06:10:06.040 --> 06:10:11.040
But they know this one's more of a fight and there's even more on the line.

06:10:11.040 --> 06:10:18.160
with those playoffs, folding on whoever wins this series, Uri aggression was

06:10:18.160 --> 06:10:22.520
meant to reel this round in wonderfuls picked up a second on the scout Navi

06:10:22.520 --> 06:10:27.000
you may be doubting their ability to answer back on this four-spy right now

06:10:27.000 --> 06:10:31.600
they're in a good position rotates are a long way away for Fiora, Cacerato only

06:10:31.600 --> 06:10:34.520
point of leverage out here towards the spawn he does have a teammate moving

06:10:34.520 --> 06:10:37.920
in to join him wonderful in this tricky scout that's been causing the

06:10:37.920 --> 06:10:44.160
problems all round long was posted. Now it's Ema's turn, helped out by Alexi. And so all

06:10:44.160 --> 06:10:48.800
right, we might have some force by wars to start this one off. Yikindar, looking down

06:10:48.800 --> 06:10:49.800
at a 1v3.

06:10:49.800 --> 06:10:53.960
You want to go for it, but it's so tempting to save just to give yourself a chance at

06:10:53.960 --> 06:10:58.980
the rebuy to keep this back and forth, this tip for Tat going. Yikindar playing

06:10:58.980 --> 06:11:07.160
for the long game instead, looking to save. It's understandable, no kits, no position,

06:11:07.160 --> 06:11:11.080
three out of a live Navi players so your kinder walks away.

06:11:13.360 --> 06:11:14.480
Oh, no, he doesn't.

06:11:15.760 --> 06:11:17.000
Bit with a one dig.

06:11:18.120 --> 06:11:21.640
And you can to try to extract maximum value costs himself the

06:11:21.640 --> 06:11:24.600
gun. Now, Furia, I mean, they're going to be forcing but a

06:11:24.600 --> 06:11:26.320
little less than what they would have liked.

06:11:29.640 --> 06:11:33.560
Love this check for wonderful. I mean, Mardoy, maybe looking

06:11:33.560 --> 06:11:36.600
like the smoke was bloomed in his face in that one second.

06:11:36.600 --> 06:11:38.600
No, wonderful one for the peak

06:11:39.560 --> 06:11:45.840
We see a lot of top-upers do that move it requires blocking the window smoke a lot of the time and then jumping on the lip

06:11:48.480 --> 06:11:50.480
Oh

06:11:51.360 --> 06:11:53.360
By accident

06:11:59.040 --> 06:12:02.400
I'm enjoying the blocking Molotovs

06:12:02.400 --> 06:12:10.800
update, seeing a lot of rushes where the mollies just get knocked out. If you throw your Molotov

06:12:10.800 --> 06:12:14.640
late, if you're not preemptively dropping it before a play, say a B-apps rush comes in

06:12:14.640 --> 06:12:18.760
on Mirage and you just lob it in there, play it, can knock it, can fall behind all

06:12:18.760 --> 06:12:25.560
five of the rushing tees. It does punish you if you're not on the ball with your

06:12:25.560 --> 06:12:40.160
utility. Happy accidents. I mean last time Navi were in this position it was Furia to

06:12:40.160 --> 06:12:45.680
kind of set the tone with that flash plate. This time though there's been no type of

06:12:45.680 --> 06:12:49.840
an early skirmish instead Furia sat back in their bomb sights it's three over towards

06:12:49.840 --> 06:12:54.800
B and that is where Navi are heading. So a different look this time the anti-force

06:12:54.800 --> 06:12:58.400
but far better results. Molodoy can't get enough done.

06:12:58.400 --> 06:13:03.440
The Kindar left is the sole survivor over to Wards B and while he failed to save last time,

06:13:05.120 --> 06:13:07.760
this time he looks to make it a far cleaner break.

06:13:07.760 --> 06:13:13.760
I think he'll learn his lesson and going for exits. Let's see if Imer allows it.

06:13:13.760 --> 06:13:16.880
Wonderful getting so much value from the scout early in the game,

06:13:16.880 --> 06:13:21.040
picking Molodoy, training Yuri and now in this round getting two more.

06:13:21.040 --> 06:13:25.840
very nicely done. It's Navi who

06:13:25.840 --> 06:13:32.840
win the pistol, lose to force and now control the economy. 3-1 in Furia on a full eco with nothing to show.

06:13:32.840 --> 06:13:52.400
You talk about obviously playoffs on the line and fury are absolutely gunning for that more

06:13:52.400 --> 06:14:01.000
than any other team except maybe vitality. Yeah. But I also like the conversation of finding out

06:14:01.000 --> 06:14:05.000
Who is number 2? Who is number 3? You know, where are these teams formed right now?

06:14:06.000 --> 06:14:16.000
When you consider that Narvi had this recent uptick, some great results, but Furia themselves have proven better in the Grand Finals against Vitality.

06:14:17.000 --> 06:14:21.000
Looking back to Chengdu, all the way to Krakow.

06:14:23.000 --> 06:14:27.000
Narvi of course only one swing at the Kings and a 0-3.

06:14:31.000 --> 06:14:38.820
But none of that matters if they can take this win today, go for a shoot in towards a

06:14:38.820 --> 06:14:39.820
semi.

06:14:39.820 --> 06:14:45.680
You know, you can imagine even the fact that you maybe got a sense of a bit of vulnerability

06:14:45.680 --> 06:14:51.320
out of Vitality in that series earlier today, that that's enticed a couple of these squads

06:14:51.320 --> 06:14:53.840
to try and really bring their A-game here.

06:14:53.840 --> 06:14:57.280
And it's something I said yesterday and that, okay, it's safe for Navi right now,

06:14:57.280 --> 06:14:59.920
like they want, they're going for Vitality.

06:14:59.920 --> 06:15:09.920
You're probably in a sense, in a sense you're hoping to not play them, but if you have to, you'd rather do it in a semi-final, you'd rather do it in a quarter-final.

06:15:12.920 --> 06:15:21.920
Chance for you to prep on less maps, catch them off guard. I mean, it's what Nobby showed us against Furia at the tail end of last year in Budapest.

06:15:24.920 --> 06:15:26.920
Two head-to-head to go.

06:15:29.920 --> 06:15:49.600
very clean anti-eco here and Alexi keeps it so 4-1 here for Navi

06:15:49.600 --> 06:15:54.320
wait in a long time if you're here it feels like to get to play a gun round in this one

06:15:54.320 --> 06:15:57.800
versus Navi but that's what happens when you have this kind of weird back and forth

06:15:57.800 --> 06:16:01.860
the force by wars in the first three rounds and still you don't have an open

06:16:01.860 --> 06:16:06.300
round number six so all of the limited

06:16:13.300 --> 06:16:18.200
we're on a very aggressive passing down here through middle already up short way

06:16:18.200 --> 06:16:24.360
ahead of anyone on fury a fuller than no idea just a side swipe there in the

06:16:24.360 --> 06:16:26.480
B site nearly open for business.

06:16:26.480 --> 06:16:29.100
You're kind of moving in, but what's he supposed to do?

06:16:29.100 --> 06:16:31.060
Just getting overran.

06:16:31.060 --> 06:16:32.540
Lot of players on his screen,

06:16:32.540 --> 06:16:34.340
and this one is over in seconds.

06:16:34.340 --> 06:16:36.660
Your gun round that you've been waiting for

06:16:36.660 --> 06:16:38.260
ends in the blink of an eye.

06:16:38.260 --> 06:16:41.500
That's such a disrespectful call here for Nadia.

06:16:41.500 --> 06:16:42.780
I love the way it pans out.

06:16:42.780 --> 06:16:44.820
They cycle flashes in connector.

06:16:44.820 --> 06:16:48.220
We saw Kcerato's POV full, double blind.

06:16:48.220 --> 06:16:50.660
Couldn't break, couldn't spam through the smoke,

06:16:50.660 --> 06:16:52.460
because that's a danger of going for something like that.

06:16:52.460 --> 06:16:56.620
just getting spammed through the con smoke. And it's not just damage. It's the little holes

06:16:56.620 --> 06:17:00.460
you're going to get. You're going to get info. See, Navi running up shorts. He is double

06:17:00.460 --> 06:17:06.820
blind. Meanwhile, you can dump the mags through window and fall in the lone on B. So I don't

06:17:06.820 --> 06:17:10.620
think it could have gone better for Navi. Also just love the timing of that pace change.

06:17:10.620 --> 06:17:13.220
Right. Because we're talking about how fury of kind of been waiting to bring the

06:17:13.220 --> 06:17:16.580
guns out. You're thinking you're going to get dealt a pretty standard round, maybe

06:17:16.580 --> 06:17:22.460
even a chance to kind of get a feel for the game a little bit and no it's it's

06:17:22.460 --> 06:17:29.580
over in seconds they play their paciest round of the map yet so just a great

06:17:29.580 --> 06:17:35.380
time to bring that in for Navi and maybe a great time for this tack timeout

06:17:35.660 --> 06:17:40.020
rapidly this one is getting away from Furia blade is happy with a timeout

06:17:40.020 --> 06:17:44.060
as well not having to call his getting used against him and Navi get a

06:17:44.060 --> 06:17:48.940
chance to catch their breath. Sure, momentum broken to a degree, but 5-1 lead and Nami can

06:17:48.940 --> 06:17:54.900
take stock right now. Everything going their way. No casualties, still no AWP, no need.

06:17:54.900 --> 06:17:59.820
That's some of these rounds we're seeing. That's not much better for Furia. They don't

06:17:59.820 --> 06:18:03.180
want a full buy because if you consider the fact that we're seven rounds into the

06:18:03.180 --> 06:18:06.140
game and Molotov is not had an AWP yet, there's a team that do everything they

06:18:06.140 --> 06:18:11.220
can to get him the big green. If Furia were to buy, which is just a

06:18:11.220 --> 06:18:14.700
fire but you could drop two guns over you could get five rifles it's fine that's

06:18:14.700 --> 06:18:19.780
just another round waiting for that AWP this eco allows them to buy for next

06:18:19.780 --> 06:18:25.620
with all so that's definitely playing into the conversation here for Furia in

06:18:25.620 --> 06:18:30.100
not buying around these rifles and to be fair we saw Furia win these rounds

06:18:30.100 --> 06:18:35.300
yesterday so anything's possible

06:18:35.300 --> 06:18:40.300
Oh, he's fearless. Right back to middle, but silent.

06:18:42.300 --> 06:18:47.300
Oh, Bits getting sandwiched here. Ready for the short fight. At least gets out with one.

06:18:49.300 --> 06:18:54.300
Oh, breakable smokes, but Alexi's got his head on a swivel. Cover-in as well from Ema. Helps out.

06:18:55.300 --> 06:19:00.300
Like a long, long man fighting them out towards the short side. And Moldedoy arrives down here in the connector.

06:19:00.300 --> 06:19:06.180
And it's all this downtime because he's walked all the way through a and a chance at this backstab mother. Do I hidden?

06:19:06.820 --> 06:19:10.700
Should know he's here smoke. Let's try to push him into a car seat

06:19:11.580 --> 06:19:13.580
That's the bomb loose

06:19:13.980 --> 06:19:18.380
Backstab connects. That's only one of the two players that made it through this a site case Serato

06:19:18.860 --> 06:19:20.860
No idea where they've gone to

06:19:22.820 --> 06:19:28.580
Bomb now retrieved in a far less scary spot for Navi, they've got a post plan out towards CT if they want it

06:19:28.580 --> 06:19:31.580
And a 2v1 to play around.

06:19:31.580 --> 06:19:34.580
Oh, did they see him?

06:19:34.580 --> 06:19:37.580
Acting like they didn't. He got that spot.

06:19:37.580 --> 06:19:41.580
I mean, there's a good habit that they've just cleared deep CT.

06:19:41.580 --> 06:19:45.580
You're kind of running out of places Kcerato could be, and that flash gives it up.

06:19:45.580 --> 06:19:48.580
That's a very hard round to win for Kcerato, clutch as he is.

06:19:50.580 --> 06:19:54.580
It's like he's pieced it together now. Flash out spawnside.

06:19:54.580 --> 06:19:58.700
Hopefully he can bait a peek on the tap. He's handed it, but it's double layered

06:19:58.700 --> 06:20:05.220
They go together Mikazi with the trade and Navi just keep racking them up not side by side nice elevation there

06:20:05.220 --> 06:20:10.060
Mikazi in the back. So case Arato aiming high for that close player can't transfer

06:20:11.260 --> 06:20:17.700
RV just taking every box right now even in that little moment of awkwardness when Alexi gets caught in the smoke push

06:20:17.700 --> 06:20:24.380
Ima is so quick to trade it out and from that trade it feels like Navi's round already

06:20:25.980 --> 06:20:32.460
Okay, we've been waiting for orbs and so fury bring them in double trouble fallen on that bebop side followed by close ramp

06:20:34.180 --> 06:20:36.180
Looking for some vengeance here fury a

06:20:37.860 --> 06:20:45.180
Fallen's insta dead at the car sees running out, but he needs no support double kill for mccasey round locked in

06:20:45.180 --> 06:20:47.180
They were still in their default

06:20:47.700 --> 06:20:56.660
I mean, the chance just to sweeten the deal and going for the hunt at the close here.

06:20:56.660 --> 06:20:59.380
You waited all game to get to play with an AWP.

06:20:59.380 --> 06:21:00.380
You bring out two of them.

06:21:00.380 --> 06:21:03.220
You think that that's going to be a solution to the problems.

06:21:03.220 --> 06:21:08.420
Now, V handed a free round.

06:21:08.420 --> 06:21:13.700
Entries a plenty out of McCarthy and chaos over the wards mid.

06:21:13.700 --> 06:21:16.220
So tilting starts the game here for Furia, right?

06:21:16.220 --> 06:21:20.520
that could have gone wrong has gone wrong from the little details to getting

06:21:20.520 --> 06:21:25.460
punished on your saves to the delay of the orbs and that is audacious for

06:21:25.460 --> 06:21:30.520
Fallon making the van jump but he had the molly down he didn't take the car he

06:21:30.520 --> 06:21:36.060
beat it but if he takes their first spawn you cannot make your van jump in

06:21:36.060 --> 06:21:42.340
time and so audacious move for mccasey wins the round for Navi 7-1 up on

06:21:42.340 --> 06:22:00.880
this T side of that pic. And yeah, they're gonna walk smokes. If you don't have the rounds

06:22:00.880 --> 06:22:05.280
left anymore to kind of put off and wait to bring the orbs out, take any of those partial

06:22:05.280 --> 06:22:10.240
buys to facilitate, they've got to go all in. They don't count starting a spiral.

06:22:10.240 --> 06:22:14.600
is a good over here on Ram Makazi still delivers that key trade it's Yuri is the

06:22:14.600 --> 06:22:21.100
second man up close went unaccounted for and leaves the advantage of Furia for

06:22:21.100 --> 06:22:25.240
now but he's on a bit of a timer Alexi still here ready to pressure him while

06:22:25.240 --> 06:22:29.680
this is going on Ema's been working that mid control Alexi loses his fight

06:22:29.680 --> 06:22:35.320
so now we're gonna look towards Ema hoping he's got a bit of runway here

06:22:35.320 --> 06:22:40.160
It makes it out through Palace and Ema still searching goes down

06:22:44.320 --> 06:22:48.400
Bullsy peek out of your kinder you already he's low on health as he takes that fight

06:22:48.400 --> 06:22:51.360
Easy epitome if you want it want to done right do it yourself

06:22:51.360 --> 06:22:56.780
You know doesn't want to leave that to a late round and let bit get comfortable just tries to close it

06:22:56.780 --> 06:23:00.480
It's a really messy round for fury. I know they have the stack in the right place, but

06:23:00.480 --> 06:23:07.480
Moledoy repositioning, leaving, only just getting back in time to assist Yuri, at least gets one out of his position.

06:23:10.480 --> 06:23:12.480
A nice double up for you, Kinda the close.

06:23:12.480 --> 06:23:13.480
Yuri, hang on.

06:23:13.480 --> 06:23:19.480
First AWP as well, you got wonderful donning his now, he's been down to play on the rifles since the early game.

06:23:22.480 --> 06:23:27.480
Let's see how that changes things for Navi, they've been quite free to go for these pacey arounds.

06:23:27.480 --> 06:23:33.720
rounds this window for the hitting D so it doesn't matter all in because he leads

06:23:33.720 --> 06:23:38.640
charge full blind a little bit awkward there you kind of still picks it up more

06:23:38.640 --> 06:23:44.400
where that came from though is it's just this apartment's bash you've lost a

06:23:44.400 --> 06:23:47.960
good chunk of the pace here if you're na'vi in the rotate start to arrive full

06:23:47.960 --> 06:23:52.680
and just keeping pressure on these players in the apartments starts to

06:23:52.680 --> 06:23:56.880
come unraveled here for Navi and it's only wonderful left.

06:23:56.880 --> 06:24:00.520
Backstab in the case of Rato and Dorsher on that B-play.

06:24:00.520 --> 06:24:02.040
That was feeling like you're in your pug.

06:24:02.040 --> 06:24:04.320
Everyone's in apartments, no one's moving out.

06:24:04.320 --> 06:24:05.600
Ema runs through the smoke.

06:24:05.600 --> 06:24:07.880
I guess expecting his teammate to swing with him,

06:24:07.880 --> 06:24:11.280
but I think they have Nades out and Navi at Dillie Dallying.

06:24:11.280 --> 06:24:14.400
If it just wides off balcony, they're gonna trade.

06:24:14.400 --> 06:24:15.680
I think it was falling.

06:24:15.680 --> 06:24:18.440
And then suddenly Navi are in a very winnable position

06:24:18.440 --> 06:24:19.640
and the bomb isn't even committed.

06:24:19.640 --> 06:24:23.940
They can pull back, but it just goes back to worse.

06:24:23.940 --> 06:24:25.520
And now they get stuck in apartments.

06:24:25.520 --> 06:24:30.200
So, Fury are winning important rounds down the stretch

06:24:30.200 --> 06:24:31.540
to stay in the CT side.

06:24:31.540 --> 06:24:32.520
Five will be fine.

06:24:32.520 --> 06:24:34.920
Yeah, it's a perfect time for the time out as well,

06:24:34.920 --> 06:24:37.240
for blade side of things, right?

06:24:37.240 --> 06:24:40.200
Recognizing that the grasp that they've had on this game

06:24:40.200 --> 06:24:42.320
can get away from them in these final couple of rounds,

06:24:42.320 --> 06:24:42.820
right?

06:24:42.820 --> 06:24:44.520
You give up a four-round streak.

06:24:44.520 --> 06:24:46.920
You can kind of forget about the six in a row

06:24:46.920 --> 06:24:48.360
that you were able to string together.

06:24:48.360 --> 06:24:52.440
suddenly the game's right back on. It's not like no, they've done anything silly in this T side, right?

06:24:52.440 --> 06:24:57.080
They've just patterned calling and they're going for fast rounds and to be fair, they've gone away with some

06:24:57.400 --> 06:25:03.640
crazy fast rounds. So you can't blame them for wanting to push the boat out. But yeah, this is probably blades slowing them down.

06:25:04.680 --> 06:25:07.160
Looking to play a more standard round than a set call.

06:25:10.120 --> 06:25:13.560
It's those kind of rounds where you wonder if the window smoke is missed on purpose.

06:25:15.160 --> 06:25:17.160
When they go for a hit like that but

06:25:18.360 --> 06:25:20.360
Let's see what Navi do.

06:25:20.360 --> 06:25:22.360
Post-Tag.

06:25:22.360 --> 06:25:24.360
Yur kinder pushing under for Furia.

06:25:24.360 --> 06:25:27.360
Oh, Yuri's making an aggro move from the get-go in this one.

06:25:27.360 --> 06:25:29.360
Playing through that ram smoke.

06:25:29.360 --> 06:25:32.360
Yur kinder are also aggressive out here in mid.

06:25:34.360 --> 06:25:36.360
He went with his fight.

06:25:36.360 --> 06:25:38.360
Being a man down, Yuri decides to come back,

06:25:38.360 --> 06:25:41.360
so they kind of lost the info over here towards A and middle.

06:25:42.360 --> 06:25:45.360
He cleared it somewhat, but it's taking it back, so...

06:25:45.360 --> 06:25:48.700
So, there was a deep flash, might have given it away.

06:25:51.360 --> 06:25:53.920
Right now, it's a lot of attention on this mid control.

06:25:59.360 --> 06:26:01.520
Marvin, such a strong position.

06:26:01.520 --> 06:26:05.220
This is around where Molodoy might have to bail Furia out.

06:26:06.720 --> 06:26:11.060
Been waiting for the AWP, not really had a chance to use it.

06:26:11.060 --> 06:26:12.160
Now is that time.

06:26:15.360 --> 06:26:24.660
Right from the smoke, Yuri.

06:26:24.660 --> 06:26:25.660
Well handled.

06:26:25.660 --> 06:26:32.020
Now you look towards Cacerato, he's got Yuri back here in the connector, ready and willing

06:26:32.020 --> 06:26:33.260
to lend a helping hand.

06:26:33.260 --> 06:26:38.500
Navi decides they want nothing to do with mid, but this is a real last second decision.

06:26:38.500 --> 06:26:41.300
Moving back around to link up with Mikazi in the apartments.

06:26:41.300 --> 06:26:46.300
Gonna leave them with very little time to get in to B.

06:26:50.300 --> 06:26:56.300
As you tell, here's the hit, fallen on the line, it's just brushed aside, are they ready for Kcerato?

06:26:56.300 --> 06:27:02.300
teammate on the way over, very little time left, Molotov gonna make a mad dash in, but the cover's down, wonderful!

06:27:02.300 --> 06:27:08.500
shuts him down on that push and so the kind of desperate grasp to go and deny

06:27:08.500 --> 06:27:14.360
that bomb now leaves Yuri in the clutch makes it out through the market they

06:27:14.360 --> 06:27:18.860
don't know about this yet Yuri closing in might have a kill right in front of him

06:27:18.860 --> 06:27:24.140
cast around the corner it's back turned and iced out someone calmed bench as

06:27:24.140 --> 06:27:28.620
well he saw the head of it I think it was a wonderful and he turned back

06:27:28.620 --> 06:27:31.100
And that's when he gets peeked from Edward awkward

06:27:31.780 --> 06:27:37.260
What an important trade for bits over the top of the window in case you're answering by a few more seconds?

06:27:37.260 --> 06:27:40.680
We'll take one more kill with him that round is done off the clock

06:27:40.680 --> 06:27:45.820
But this frag for bit saves it for Navi six seconds as that bomb gets planted

06:27:45.820 --> 06:27:48.600
I don't think Molotov could have denied it with that Molotov down

06:27:51.260 --> 06:27:55.220
Navi what an incredible T side they put on here

06:27:55.220 --> 06:27:58.720
And they could sweeten the deal.

06:27:58.720 --> 06:28:08.220
I don't have a whole lot to go up against either, but a good flash play just to net you that

06:28:08.220 --> 06:28:09.220
advantage.

06:28:09.220 --> 06:28:13.220
And around like this, where you really are working with less, they've already used all their

06:28:13.220 --> 06:28:19.020
blocking utility, you know, getting results on the back of your flashes, really matters.

06:28:19.020 --> 06:28:21.220
It's found you a 5v4.

06:28:21.220 --> 06:28:25.980
And they've even aggressed on the back of that kill, out towards ramp.

06:28:25.980 --> 06:28:32.140
It's kind of piecing together what's gone down over at 8, Yuri's going to take matters

06:28:32.140 --> 06:28:34.340
into his own hands and just confirm that there's no one here.

06:28:34.340 --> 06:28:39.900
Now on a deep line, freeze up a player to start moving around the map.

06:28:39.900 --> 06:28:42.900
Oh no!

06:28:42.900 --> 06:28:52.900
Oh no! That's awkward. It doesn't burn up. Ema's fine.

06:28:52.900 --> 06:29:00.900
How'd he go for the B hits? At what point does Ema activate? 40 seconds. Can't wait

06:29:00.900 --> 06:29:08.900
forever. And Molotov is short sight. During this util go over he knows what's coming.

06:29:08.900 --> 06:29:14.640
moving. Spotted in the window. He still wins his fight. This B site really is to withstand

06:29:14.640 --> 06:29:18.940
it. It can't not be. They're all wounded. They're all hurting, but they broke through.

06:29:18.940 --> 06:29:24.100
They get a bomb plant now. And these rotates are slow. Fury are going to take a little

06:29:24.100 --> 06:29:27.940
while to get into position. They're still paranoid about Eba and all this downtime,

06:29:27.940 --> 06:29:33.860
right? Spotted scaling out into the window. And that was meant to be a free kill for

06:29:33.860 --> 06:29:38.780
Alexi still picked up after the fact Yuri's got no business winning this one

06:29:39.500 --> 06:29:43.660
Images play to evade it wastes so much time in this round

06:29:44.780 --> 06:29:50.140
And this is looking to seal the deal on a very dominant first half out of the Navi squad

06:29:50.940 --> 06:29:57.620
Wonderful wowed us early on with those scouts shots, but as it's gone on everyone's stepping up right now for Navi

06:29:57.620 --> 06:30:02.580
They are gunning for this playoff spot map one their pick and it's looking good

06:33:33.860 --> 06:33:40.420
a rough start here for hometown heroes in Furia. They are on the back foot in a big way to open up

06:33:41.300 --> 06:33:45.300
this very important series. Winner of this, guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.

06:33:46.820 --> 06:33:53.780
And right now, Na'Vi, they have showcased a tremendous form in these opening games at this

06:33:53.780 --> 06:33:59.380
event and this one is no different. Wonderful start, it's strong and then around in,

06:33:59.380 --> 06:34:03.140
Ema and Mikazi really started to find it a great deal of impact.

06:34:04.820 --> 06:34:09.220
It was a real death ball of the first half as well. By Navi's standards, there were some very

06:34:09.220 --> 06:34:15.940
pacey rounds in there. Certainly not something Furia really expected. It's not what Navi see every day.

06:34:19.300 --> 06:34:25.220
So Bravado on this T side, can Furia bring the same? Yeah, gonna need this pistol round

06:34:25.220 --> 06:34:27.820
if you want any chance at the comeback.

06:34:29.220 --> 06:34:29.820
Oh, bye.

06:34:31.520 --> 06:34:33.620
So you're probably hating what bits just done there.

06:34:33.620 --> 06:34:35.020
I just whittled away.

06:34:35.820 --> 06:34:39.520
You're kinder, 1v5 low health on the first guy facing him.

06:34:39.520 --> 06:34:41.620
It doesn't matter one bit.

06:34:42.720 --> 06:34:44.620
Oh, he was having a great day in the office.

06:34:44.620 --> 06:34:46.120
60 and seven right now.

06:34:47.520 --> 06:34:48.720
Getting every single shot.

06:34:48.720 --> 06:34:53.820
We saw that final round of T side of the window winning a ridiculous kill to

06:34:53.820 --> 06:35:02.260
a game. So. I'll be looking

06:35:02.260 --> 06:35:06.300
to make this one a wash. We'll

06:35:06.300 --> 06:35:08.300
see what the anti eco concerns

06:35:08.300 --> 06:35:10.300
us with as Fira did win a

06:35:10.300 --> 06:35:12.300
force, but then went on to

06:35:12.300 --> 06:35:13.300
lose six straight rounds. I

06:35:13.300 --> 06:35:14.300
mean, you know, we've heard

06:35:14.300 --> 06:35:15.300
of Pavlov's dogs, but have you

06:35:15.300 --> 06:35:16.300
heard of showing his goat

06:35:16.300 --> 06:35:17.300
because that's what he was

06:35:17.300 --> 06:35:19.300
kind of been in these games,

06:35:19.300 --> 06:35:20.300
right? Couple of maps where

06:35:20.300 --> 06:35:21.300
he's just absolutely

06:35:21.300 --> 06:35:23.300
destroyed the opposition. It

06:35:23.300 --> 06:35:35.540
10 on inferno zero and 10 on inferno. Well, go tell the bag. Simply done for the three

06:35:35.540 --> 06:35:46.300
in middle. Na'vi one gun round away from solidifying their map pick in this series dust to is up

06:35:46.300 --> 06:35:54.300
next is Furia's choice. We end on Nuke if Furia can pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

06:35:55.020 --> 06:35:59.660
But I think they're in flip flops. Yeah, I do that. There's a couple of kind of red flags

06:35:59.660 --> 06:36:05.180
right now for Furia. One is just Molotoway never getting going in this map. It seems

06:36:05.180 --> 06:36:11.260
some frustration from him in their opening series. And here, you know, I think it's also

06:36:11.260 --> 06:36:14.860
like to know these credit that did a great job of keeping the all below impact throughout

06:36:14.860 --> 06:36:19.740
the entire first half. They kept it in low quantity as well. The damage, the punish, and

06:36:19.740 --> 06:36:23.980
even when Fury tried to bring it all out. He only had it like four times. I think less.

06:36:23.980 --> 06:36:28.940
And the first time he had it was around where Fulvin also has it on B and Moloadoy gets

06:36:28.940 --> 06:36:34.900
left in a 1B5 in 20 seconds because they just get B rushed. Not really a good job

06:36:34.900 --> 06:36:39.980
of completely avoiding him. I don't think he got a fair fight on the all half. So,

06:36:39.980 --> 06:36:44.980
I didn't really want to pick on Molotoy in that sense.

06:36:44.980 --> 06:36:50.980
That's what I think, you know, just like even with the kind of type of AWPer he is, the way that he likes to play the fights that he looks for,

06:36:50.980 --> 06:36:54.980
this is not one of the games that's going to bring that out of him.

06:36:54.980 --> 06:36:56.980
Three and eleven.

06:36:57.980 --> 06:37:00.980
All right, bit of a duel out here towards mid.

06:37:00.980 --> 06:37:01.980
Good one.

06:37:01.980 --> 06:37:03.980
Full McCarthy.

06:37:03.980 --> 06:37:11.460
And spotted Alexi's not giving you this for free good reposition under the window in case Arato doesn't land a bullet

06:37:11.460 --> 06:37:14.500
Yeah, I mean even if he did like that the rounds still pretty

06:37:15.660 --> 06:37:20.300
Pretty screwed isn't it for fury of the kind of pack the bulk of the players around towards me

06:37:20.300 --> 06:37:24.140
That's what your pack rifle is where they were meant to try and secure that for all day old

06:37:24.140 --> 06:37:29.780
I lost the bomb like cause he's just peeking on a wide connector angle body shutting them down like

06:37:30.580 --> 06:37:32.820
RV just can't miss a beat here

06:37:33.980 --> 06:37:40.980
Info for Yuri, but even he doesn't want to waste this rifle

06:37:40.980 --> 06:37:48.980
They're just begging hill peak, but yeah, go get the AKs up top middle and not VT take

06:37:48.980 --> 06:37:53.980
12 rounds Furia failure to launch on Mirage

06:37:53.980 --> 06:38:00.980
Some games you can sense the comeback before it happens while I can sense this one is over

06:38:30.980 --> 06:38:37.140
Clash here really don't have a lot to work with here maybe already thinking about

06:38:37.140 --> 06:38:44.980
us too. Oh my car's eat nearly as a chance to get a kill there and the

06:38:44.980 --> 06:38:50.780
Spam from wonderful shoes through this be hit one man survives up through short

06:38:50.780 --> 06:38:59.700
and not for long this was no contest playoffs on the line at fury are hoping

06:38:59.700 --> 06:39:04.980
to play in front of our home crowd well they're gonna have to dig deep because

06:39:04.980 --> 06:39:10.140
this has been insanely one-sided really from the word go there was some

06:39:10.140 --> 06:39:14.940
promise with the win in the four spine round two but other than that this is

06:39:14.940 --> 06:39:20.300
been a map entirely defined by Navi any course for concern that that

06:39:20.300 --> 06:39:24.700
inferno game against bait gave you for Navi is swiftly out of the window as

06:39:24.700 --> 06:39:31.900
they find a dominant opening map in this series against Furia of all teams on home soil 13 to 3

06:39:31.900 --> 06:39:36.700
and on their map pick as well. It's not every day you see Na'Vi start a series off that strong.

06:39:36.700 --> 06:39:39.500
Let's see if they can keep it going with Dust2 up next.

06:39:41.180 --> 06:39:46.780
Yeah, Na'Vi, Furia, or as we like to say, just Na'Vi in the server right now because Furia

06:39:46.780 --> 06:39:49.260
a little pure far between in rounds right there, Jacob.

06:39:49.260 --> 06:39:51.660
I don't know what's going on today and not what I expected.

06:39:51.660 --> 06:39:56.660
Nor was it in the Falcons vs Spirit game and for Furia to fall this flat on Mirage.

06:39:56.660 --> 06:39:59.960
Sure, the series isn't over yet, but that's not what I anticipated.

06:39:59.960 --> 06:40:05.560
I expected two teams who were kind of similar in their level, kind of similar in what I could expect from them.

06:40:05.560 --> 06:40:09.360
And you know, in some of those individuals, and I didn't get anything out of this one, Janko.

06:40:09.360 --> 06:40:14.460
It was not only playing some beautiful Counter-Strike, some good Counter-Strike, and as Trace kind of alerted to,

06:40:14.460 --> 06:40:16.360
the only team on this server.

06:40:16.360 --> 06:40:21.560
I don't know, I feel like Furia are struggling more than I maybe would initially, I guess, of this.

06:40:21.560 --> 06:40:26.320
Yeah, I mean Navi after winning that early force by war

06:40:27.040 --> 06:40:29.540
Just play with a lot of pace. Maybe that's what surprised

06:40:30.720 --> 06:40:36.680
Fury up to some extent. I mean in the first gun round after all those force buys early on

06:40:36.680 --> 06:40:43.120
They just did a fast B split were fallen was surprised that they could come up cat even and just dies instantly

06:40:43.120 --> 06:40:50.860
And the round is pretty much over then and there right and it was a snowball from Navi from start to finish

06:40:51.560 --> 06:40:55.520
Which sets us up. I mean if you think that second map is even more talking about just yet

06:40:55.520 --> 06:40:59.120
I beg to differ but I do have to wonder about that absence

06:40:59.120 --> 06:41:02.560
I do have to wonder where it is and I'm kind of looking at you Jacob for a response

06:41:02.560 --> 06:41:06.160
Yeah, I think it's a symptom of a furia having had a rough season so far

06:41:06.160 --> 06:41:09.160
Obviously the way they ended 2025 was was not great

06:41:09.160 --> 06:41:11.680
Then they came into 2026 and we thought okay

06:41:11.680 --> 06:41:16.720
They're gonna continue, you know the one game against Navi at the major is not gonna define what we think of furia

06:41:16.720 --> 06:41:18.800
You're still the second best team in the world

06:41:18.800 --> 06:41:23.060
But let's be honest there it hasn't been a great season and there's been more games like this

06:41:23.060 --> 06:41:27.520
You know more maps where it's just been absent and some things you can explain with yeah

06:41:27.520 --> 06:41:31.120
Yuri is not playing as well as he did and maybe Molotov is not having the same amount of impact

06:41:31.120 --> 06:41:36.960
Etc etc, but it just feels like the the entirety of the team is it's just down a level or two and what exactly that is

06:41:36.960 --> 06:41:44.200
Shanko and whether you want to test that to individuals not showing up or the way people are now preparing for furia or the lack of innovation

06:41:44.200 --> 06:41:46.060
I'm not sure if it's a sum of all the parts

06:41:46.060 --> 06:41:48.460
but it's not looking great for you so far here.

06:41:48.460 --> 06:41:50.380
Yeah, it's a combination of things.

06:41:50.380 --> 06:41:53.260
I mean, you talk about a map or Mulder has three kills.

06:41:53.260 --> 06:41:54.380
1980, yeah.

06:41:54.380 --> 06:41:58.060
Yeah, right, especially on the CT side, he's fallen off this year

06:41:58.060 --> 06:41:59.420
and he's the primary operand.

06:41:59.420 --> 06:42:03.100
We know how explosive of a player he can be, right?

06:42:03.100 --> 06:42:04.940
Like, that's one of the factors.

06:42:04.940 --> 06:42:07.180
Yuri's level, we talked about that as an anchor,

06:42:07.180 --> 06:42:09.660
obviously really important because you're not always going

06:42:09.660 --> 06:42:11.020
to be right with your setups.

06:42:11.020 --> 06:42:12.940
Like, on a map like Mirage, you're not going to want

06:42:12.940 --> 06:42:15.900
to fight for mid sometimes and more of your resources

06:42:15.900 --> 06:42:18.660
are going to be there and Yuri is going to be on his own and of course he's not

06:42:18.660 --> 06:42:22.100
supposed to win the round right then and there but give me something right give

06:42:22.100 --> 06:42:27.460
me a kill and buy me some time or you know stay alive and buy me time and we

06:42:27.460 --> 06:42:33.860
haven't seen that as much this year and you know Navi on the other side we

06:42:33.860 --> 06:42:36.620
talked about it they're just a different team now after a couple of

06:42:36.620 --> 06:42:41.500
tournaments winning one getting into the final of the other right playing

06:42:41.500 --> 06:42:44.760
with a lot more confidence this is another one of those maps and it

06:42:44.760 --> 06:42:49.420
happens most to Mirageber, Ima just had a great great performance. Let's talk

06:42:49.420 --> 06:42:53.480
about Ima. Where is he in the server? Where is he today? Well great on this map

06:42:53.480 --> 06:42:55.980
you know where it was the same case yesterday he's played four maps so

06:42:55.980 --> 06:42:59.520
fine in the tournament and he's either the top fragger either the highest rated

06:42:59.520 --> 06:43:02.340
player on the server or he's the lowest rated player on the server. Yesterday

06:43:02.340 --> 06:43:05.600
he had a fantastic first map as well then he had a terrible second map on

06:43:05.600 --> 06:43:09.120
Inferno I think it was where he finally got a kill I think 17 rounds into

06:43:09.120 --> 06:43:12.300
the game or something like that and then he had a decent showing on the

06:43:12.300 --> 06:43:16.940
third map. Today he's firing on all cylinders as Janko said. Mirage is his playground. The

06:43:16.940 --> 06:43:21.540
T side of Emma on Mirage has always been one of the strongholds. So it's not that I'm surprised.

06:43:21.540 --> 06:43:26.500
It's just that we don't see it often, you know, that a player has that, I guess, capability

06:43:26.500 --> 06:43:30.300
and ability to be either the most inferential player on the server or the player that

06:43:30.300 --> 06:43:33.820
is the most absent. And it's a small sample size. There's just been four maps

06:43:33.820 --> 06:43:37.700
at this tournament, but there's also a bit of pressure relying on Emma right now.

06:43:37.700 --> 06:43:42.140
I think he needs to play well in the foreseeable future if the conversations surrounding

06:43:42.140 --> 06:43:46.880
frozen potentially joining Navi etc. Sarah has to die down there's no rumors

06:43:46.880 --> 06:43:51.980
this is just your wish list like you just want frozen on Navi to some degree but

06:43:51.980 --> 06:43:55.040
but you'd agree with me right if Emma is not performing then he would be the

06:43:55.040 --> 06:43:58.640
first one to potentially be let go if you want to bring it I like for the

06:43:58.640 --> 06:44:01.680
other theory crafts were like you bring him in for a Lexi and then Emma

06:44:01.680 --> 06:44:04.960
becomes the IGL but yeah I don't think Navi with the way they've been

06:44:04.960 --> 06:44:11.040
playing are even considering changes of any kind whatsoever but I think it's

06:44:11.040 --> 06:44:16.160
It's also when you look at games like this, it's what's so frustrating about this season almost, right?

06:44:16.160 --> 06:44:18.160
Because it's like, what's going on with these teams?

06:44:18.160 --> 06:44:20.160
Like, teams like Furia, right?

06:44:20.160 --> 06:44:26.160
You just go completely missing in a game, but I think it's important, and we heard it from Niko in his interview, too.

06:44:26.160 --> 06:44:28.160
It's just like, MR12, man.

06:44:28.160 --> 06:44:31.760
I'm not sure that we're still like fully used to it, right?

06:44:31.760 --> 06:44:33.760
Because sometimes stumps just happen.

06:44:33.760 --> 06:44:35.760
You lose the 4-spire, right?

06:44:35.760 --> 06:44:38.160
You're 4-1-5-1 down, you lose the 2nd pistol.

06:44:38.160 --> 06:44:40.160
Like, it's very easy to get stomped.

06:44:40.160 --> 06:44:44.880
get out of hand fairly quickly and also you can get back into them real quick right like in case

06:44:44.880 --> 06:44:50.160
Furia won the second pistol and converted all of a sudden it's 9-6 right like if they get a quick

06:44:50.160 --> 06:44:55.840
reset we get a close game so I hope that at least from the players side and team side of things

06:44:55.840 --> 06:44:59.840
you know they're not as emotional right like you just understand hey games like this

06:44:59.840 --> 06:45:05.200
happen yes we were off to a slow start we didn't really show up but that's just when that happens

06:45:05.200 --> 06:45:11.600
this is how it can go in MR12 and that's why you have a big opportunity to turn it around

06:45:11.600 --> 06:45:13.360
on your own map, coming up next.

06:45:13.360 --> 06:45:16.080
Yeah, which is where I was going to go with this, because if you think about Dust2,

06:45:16.080 --> 06:45:20.160
if Fury of Pig does give Navi the CT-sided start, does that spell more troubles,

06:45:20.160 --> 06:45:22.080
more woes out of the beginning, out of the gate?

06:45:22.080 --> 06:45:25.280
I think to me that's the map that's going to be interesting and I expect it to be close

06:45:25.280 --> 06:45:29.120
and I've been wrong with the prediction so far. Today I expected Spirit and Falcons to be

06:45:29.120 --> 06:45:32.400
a close game. I expected this one to be close as well. You said to yourself,

06:45:32.400 --> 06:45:36.400
I think Navi have leveled up on Dust2, so they're definitely a match for Furia when it comes to that.

06:45:36.400 --> 06:45:40.400
And I think that the most important player for Furia on the Dust2 side has always been Molotov.

06:45:40.400 --> 06:45:44.400
The way he's been dominating with AWP, the way he's been taking initiative, the way on the CT side

06:45:44.400 --> 06:45:48.400
that he's willing to fight in middle Austin with AWP as well, lock down rotations

06:45:48.400 --> 06:45:52.400
and make it tough for the T-side to gain map control without using a lot of utility.

06:45:52.400 --> 06:45:56.400
So I think there's a lot of positives to be said about Furia and Molotov,

06:45:56.400 --> 06:45:59.400
but if he's absent, then I think it's fragile as well to some degree.

06:45:59.400 --> 06:46:03.000
degree. So yeah, I've said it before and I'll happily say it again. I haven't been impressed with

06:46:03.000 --> 06:46:07.400
3-0 so far in 20-26 and with the way they played on the first map right here, I'm not too sure I'm

06:46:07.400 --> 06:46:12.120
going to be impressed either. And you need to be proactive on the CT side against Navi, right?

06:46:12.120 --> 06:46:17.080
Like you need to take calculated risks, whether you're going to try to fight for mid at some

06:46:17.080 --> 06:46:21.320
point, try to retake short, you know, whatever you leave open, they're going to be good with

06:46:21.320 --> 06:46:24.600
their reactions, they're going to be able to figure out where the gap is. So you constantly

06:46:24.600 --> 06:46:29.480
have to play those small mind games where you know either you're disguising what you're trying to do

06:46:29.480 --> 06:46:34.600
or you're sort of leaving something open on purpose so you can get back to it and and uh

06:46:34.600 --> 06:46:39.560
re-aggress right and get some openings on that side. If you just play sort of default vanilla

06:46:41.000 --> 06:46:44.680
setups against Navi I don't think you're going to have a fun time.

06:46:44.680 --> 06:46:48.280
Running into that MR12 idea you know if you're fury you just shut up here to this

06:46:48.280 --> 06:46:51.560
tournament and obviously there's a lot of tension you want to try to get your way through to

06:46:51.560 --> 06:46:54.700
the playoffs, you want to be in the arena in front of the crowd.

06:46:54.700 --> 06:46:57.780
That definitely plays into the MR12 factor.

06:46:57.780 --> 06:46:59.180
These games go fast.

06:46:59.180 --> 06:47:02.860
These things play to a tremendous point real quick and when you get snowballed like that

06:47:02.860 --> 06:47:05.820
on map 1, you have to go ahead and wipe it away from map 2 and dust 2.

06:47:05.820 --> 06:47:06.820
Jacob, what do you do?

06:47:06.820 --> 06:47:09.020
I mean, we've seen it happen to Navi yesterday.

06:47:09.020 --> 06:47:12.500
They won the first map against Bay 13-0 and he thinks himself okay, this game is over

06:47:12.500 --> 06:47:15.220
and then they go into the second map, their own map pick by the way and they lose

06:47:15.220 --> 06:47:16.220
was it 13-4?

06:47:16.220 --> 06:47:17.460
They end up making a game out of it.

06:47:17.460 --> 06:47:19.900
So Navi has been a victim of that before as well.

06:47:19.900 --> 06:47:22.220
So I think Furia can still be somewhat comfortable

06:47:22.220 --> 06:47:24.060
that if they come in on Dust2 and they play better,

06:47:24.060 --> 06:47:26.540
if they play well, it's up to themself at the end of the day,

06:47:26.540 --> 06:47:27.540
then we can still have a game.

06:47:27.540 --> 06:47:30.460
So, yeah, the simple answer to your question traces,

06:47:30.460 --> 06:47:32.020
play better than we saw on Mirage, you know?

06:47:32.020 --> 06:47:34.140
And then again, I think all players,

06:47:34.140 --> 06:47:35.660
and then you will probably attest to that as well,

06:47:35.660 --> 06:47:37.140
you still feel like it's in your own hands.

06:47:37.140 --> 06:47:39.540
It's not that it's Navi's playing at a level right now

06:47:39.540 --> 06:47:41.500
where you would attest them to be Vitality,

06:47:41.500 --> 06:47:43.180
whereas if Vitality is playing well,

06:47:43.180 --> 06:47:44.900
we're not gonna win regardless of how we do,

06:47:44.900 --> 06:47:46.660
whereas if you're Furia and you play well,

06:47:46.660 --> 06:47:48.180
there's still a good chance that you're beating Navi.

06:47:48.180 --> 06:47:51.020
not the unbeatable or at a level that can't be reached at the moment.

06:47:51.020 --> 06:47:54.860
Unfortunately for Furia, Navi probably learned their lesson yesterday,

06:47:54.860 --> 06:47:58.780
not to get ahead of themselves after a dominant first map win.

06:47:58.780 --> 06:48:03.780
But yeah, I mean, talking about Rio and Brazilians playing in front of the home crowd,

06:48:03.780 --> 06:48:08.060
I mean, we all remember the Major and Furia and their deep run at the tournament.

06:48:08.060 --> 06:48:10.940
I mean, you're in case Rato were a part of that roster.

06:48:10.940 --> 06:48:17.340
So they've dealt with those expectations and how to deal with it, right?

06:48:17.340 --> 06:48:19.780
And at some point you just have to find a way to get it done.

06:48:19.780 --> 06:48:21.060
You just have to do a little bit better.

06:48:21.060 --> 06:48:23.820
We saw a lot of frustrations from Yikindar too, right?

06:48:23.820 --> 06:48:28.700
Like this year in some games, I've seen him fall back into that mode

06:48:28.700 --> 06:48:31.500
where he's constantly seeking a play.

06:48:31.500 --> 06:48:37.140
Like he's really, really forcing some of those opening fires.

06:48:37.140 --> 06:48:38.180
Was like old Yikindar?

06:48:38.180 --> 06:48:38.860
Yeah, exactly.

06:48:38.860 --> 06:48:40.260
And it becomes a bit of a liability

06:48:40.260 --> 06:48:42.620
because then they're in a lot of 4v5 situations.

06:48:42.620 --> 06:48:46.180
And those are hard to crawl back into.

06:48:46.180 --> 06:48:49.960
So they need to find some balance with his aggression

06:48:49.960 --> 06:48:51.360
and sort of a player he is,

06:48:51.360 --> 06:48:54.920
but then also being balanced and not being predictable.

06:48:54.920 --> 06:48:57.200
Jacob, real quickly, the odds of us needing

06:48:57.200 --> 06:48:58.860
that third decider, that nuke.

06:48:59.900 --> 06:49:00.840
I'd say 40%.

06:49:00.840 --> 06:49:03.000
I have Nali as the favorite still on Dust2.

06:49:03.000 --> 06:49:04.120
I think they're gonna two over this one,

06:49:04.120 --> 06:49:05.080
but I wouldn't rule it out.

06:49:05.080 --> 06:49:06.800
And I think Furia can definitely put up

06:49:06.800 --> 06:49:07.720
a great fight right here,

06:49:07.720 --> 06:49:10.240
but given what I've seen in 2026 so far,

06:49:10.240 --> 06:49:11.840
given what I've seen from Molozor and Yuri,

06:49:11.840 --> 06:49:12.880
you can never that matter as well.

06:49:12.880 --> 06:49:14.200
I'm afraid that Furia right now

06:49:14.200 --> 06:49:15.840
is not in a state of mind

06:49:15.840 --> 06:49:17.560
or at a place where I'd expect them to be,

06:49:17.560 --> 06:49:19.480
Navi, playing as well as they are.

06:49:19.480 --> 06:49:20.320
Kill on the same way.

06:49:20.320 --> 06:49:22.160
They've been played by a lot of slow starts,

06:49:22.160 --> 06:49:23.000
Fiora, in the season.

06:49:23.000 --> 06:49:24.440
I mean, if you go back to Krakow,

06:49:24.440 --> 06:49:26.760
it was a lot of three mappers, right,

06:49:26.760 --> 06:49:29.800
and eventually making it all the way into the grand final.

06:49:29.800 --> 06:49:32.680
So I think they'll bounce back on Dust 2,

06:49:32.680 --> 06:49:35.320
and hopefully we see that this either as well.

06:49:35.320 --> 06:49:36.880
Yeah, and maybe we will need that.

06:49:36.880 --> 06:49:39.000
That is Nuke. Should we need it right now, though?

06:49:39.000 --> 06:49:39.920
We need to go to a quick break,

06:49:39.920 --> 06:49:41.040
so we can come back with Dust 2

06:49:41.040 --> 06:49:42.440
and get this one right back on our way.

06:49:42.440 --> 06:49:43.800
You're watching Intel Extreme Masters

06:49:43.800 --> 06:49:46.760
Rio de Janeiro 2026. We'll go right back after this.

06:49:59.160 --> 06:50:03.640
Placent matches set your starting point. Facet rating measures your impact as you climb.

06:50:03.640 --> 06:50:08.200
The soft elo reset narrows the gap between the highest elo players and the rest of level 10.

06:50:08.200 --> 06:50:11.160
Your starting point will be based on your recent elo inactivity.

06:50:11.160 --> 06:50:16.660
We're introducing Facet Rating, so you can see exactly how much you stack up against others at your level.

06:50:16.660 --> 06:50:23.660
Facet Rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning the match, taking into account the full situation.

06:50:24.660 --> 06:50:28.660
Season 8 launches April 22nd. Good luck and have fun!

06:50:41.160 --> 06:51:06.160
What's he looking at?

06:51:06.160 --> 06:51:09.160
Inspired by our French comrades.

06:51:09.160 --> 06:51:11.660
I've decided to shuffle things up.

06:51:11.660 --> 06:51:16.660
We are swapping rules against pastoral fear.

06:51:17.660 --> 06:51:19.160
Wait, does that mean...

06:51:19.160 --> 06:51:20.660
Yeah, it does.

06:51:20.660 --> 06:51:23.660
It's stopping time!

06:51:26.660 --> 06:51:28.660
Alex, the machine!

06:51:28.660 --> 06:51:31.160
Tell me, how is the shuffle?

06:51:31.160 --> 06:51:33.160
Even though it seems like they're doing a delay today.

06:51:33.160 --> 06:51:34.660
Er, you're too...

06:51:34.660 --> 06:51:36.660
You must have confidence in the Shuffle.

06:51:36.660 --> 06:51:38.660
You ordered all of this!

06:51:38.660 --> 06:51:40.660
Now hold on a second!

06:51:40.660 --> 06:51:42.660
You have no authorization!

06:51:42.660 --> 06:51:44.660
You have no job!

06:51:44.660 --> 06:51:46.660
All you have to do is burn your hands!

06:51:46.660 --> 06:51:48.660
You have no choice!

06:51:48.660 --> 06:51:50.660
And if things get tough,

06:51:50.660 --> 06:51:52.660
we shall do it again!

06:51:52.660 --> 06:51:54.660
What the hell is going on here?!

06:51:54.660 --> 06:51:56.660
Take back your hands!

06:51:58.660 --> 06:52:00.660
Merci beaucoup!

06:52:04.660 --> 06:52:12.460
I got a chance to talk to Mikaze from Navi and obviously you were joining this team that was kind of called a no-star team

06:52:12.460 --> 06:52:17.300
but from Academy this will happen like nine months ago recently you've been

06:52:17.900 --> 06:52:21.380
Becoming that star. Do you feel it kind of yourself or these people are talking about it?

06:52:21.380 --> 06:52:28.740
I mean I don't feel it fully myself. So maybe yes. I mean I should probably ask this your teammates

06:52:28.740 --> 06:52:33.060
But how did you grow in these nine months in Na'Vi 4 now?

06:52:33.060 --> 06:52:37.340
It's been a pretty tough battle obviously coming into pure tier one,

06:52:37.340 --> 06:52:40.660
but I think you're developing from tournament to tournament.

06:52:40.660 --> 06:52:45.860
Yeah, when I joined from Na'Vi Junior, I would say like first four or five months it was hard,

06:52:45.860 --> 06:52:49.660
because it was like fully different system, whole wide playing in Na'Vi Junior,

06:52:49.660 --> 06:52:52.860
and it took time to get used to play it,

06:52:52.860 --> 06:52:58.260
and I would say it was hard, but at least I'm enjoying, so it's good.

06:52:58.260 --> 06:53:04.100
It's so obvious that you're enjoying this. I mean, recently getting an MVP at EPL, Rotterdam, second place.

06:53:04.100 --> 06:53:07.940
Does this help your confidence? Because some players actually don't really care that much about it,

06:53:07.940 --> 06:53:11.220
so I want to hear your opinion. What does this do to your performance?

06:53:11.220 --> 06:53:16.020
To be honest, if you ask me right now about MVP, I don't care. Maybe like the first two days I would care,

06:53:16.020 --> 06:53:21.700
but right now not that much. And maybe it helps a little bit confidence for sure,

06:53:21.700 --> 06:53:26.740
because we play Final of Vitality and it was not that easy match for them.

06:53:26.740 --> 06:53:31.600
Like we made some maps to struggle versus them and it was good and let's see now

06:53:32.380 --> 06:53:33.620
One personal question now

06:53:33.620 --> 06:53:39.060
Obviously you're coming from the Navi junior and you were promoted as the only guy the rest of the guys went to FUT

06:53:39.060 --> 06:53:43.140
And as we were arriving here to I am real ditches won a tournament their first tournament right?

06:53:43.140 --> 06:53:45.300
I wanted to ask you are you still in touch with them?

06:53:45.300 --> 06:53:46.620
Are you are you happy for them?

06:53:46.620 --> 06:53:51.140
Are you in touch or maybe is that is that right rivalry then you're just kind of like there

06:53:51.140 --> 06:53:52.340
Are there your enemies now?

06:53:52.340 --> 06:53:57.640
No, no, they're always my brothers, like, to be honest I'm always speaking to them like every day.

06:53:57.640 --> 06:54:02.240
We are like getting touch, want to message, because Krabin is like my best friend from Koso

06:54:02.240 --> 06:54:07.440
and we are always talking, but all those players also, also like Kuz, we have good relationship

06:54:07.440 --> 06:54:12.440
and I mean, they're playing good and they deserve that, they want that tournament, I'm happy for them.

06:54:12.440 --> 06:54:15.240
You want to play against them at one point? As soon as possible?

06:54:15.240 --> 06:54:16.440
Of course.

06:54:16.440 --> 06:54:20.840
Makes sense obviously, good luck with the tournament obviously and sometime down there in the future

06:54:20.840 --> 06:54:22.840
against their FUT as well.

06:54:50.840 --> 06:54:57.560
the runner-up, the second best team right now, the guys that could look to challenge vitality.

06:54:57.560 --> 06:55:00.680
And Navi said, have you not been watching? Have you not seen the last two events, right?

06:55:00.680 --> 06:55:05.960
Back to back grand finals, taking a trophy as well, sure. No track record against team vitality,

06:55:05.960 --> 06:55:09.880
but that can be excused for the meantime. Maybe we'll have to wait for the playoffs,

06:55:09.880 --> 06:55:15.400
Harry. Maybe we'll have to wait for a rematch. Navi, a match away from Gar- a map away from

06:55:15.400 --> 06:55:22.120
guaranteeing a playoff spot here against Furia. And this would really legitimize the series

06:55:22.120 --> 06:55:26.160
if they could do it in two. Oh, it really would. And I mean, Nabi would in their own

06:55:26.160 --> 06:55:32.000
map pick happens once in a blue moon. So let's see if they can nail this chance at

06:55:32.000 --> 06:55:33.000
a two at O.

06:55:33.000 --> 06:55:50.600
Dust 2, CT side starts, Fury get to call the shots.

06:55:50.600 --> 06:55:56.360
Fury didn't have any success in those pistol rounds on map 1.

06:55:56.360 --> 06:55:59.520
You would love to change that now.

06:55:59.520 --> 06:56:02.440
Just get a bit of pep in your step.

06:56:02.440 --> 06:56:08.560
spotted over here at the car and it's Kcerato out through short trying to be

06:56:08.560 --> 06:56:12.800
the answer on this A here. He's dealt with Eema. That's a lot of pressure on

06:56:12.800 --> 06:56:18.400
these guys in at the site. Mikazi head on a swivel but these sites been lost and

06:56:18.400 --> 06:56:24.600
even though bit arrives with these dual burratas it's a 2v4, a rough round, a

06:56:24.600 --> 06:56:30.360
rough retake ahead of Navi if they even give it a look in and they're

06:56:30.360 --> 06:56:35.920
head in for the hills. So all right, Furia on the board early, that holds a little bit

06:56:35.920 --> 06:56:45.120
of promise at least. Because the thing that stood out about Mirage was just how uncompetitive

06:56:45.120 --> 06:56:50.960
that map was, right? Na'Vi looked really, really good. Didn't really have any issues,

06:56:50.960 --> 06:56:56.160
nothing you could nitpick and try and pull apart about their performance there. Meanwhile,

06:56:56.160 --> 06:57:00.320
fury it didn't really show up it felt like

06:57:00.320 --> 06:57:05.400
oh so would have had to have some conversations ahead of dust to these

06:57:05.400 --> 06:57:09.800
kills matter more for not being they do for fury and because he could drop an

06:57:09.800 --> 06:57:14.400
m4 it's gonna buy Famis armor instead I'd like to see a wonderful scout but

06:57:14.400 --> 06:57:19.520
he's not gonna be available so deal instead

06:57:19.520 --> 06:57:30.800
And sure, Fury won their first pistol of the series, but let's hope they can convert it

06:57:30.800 --> 06:57:34.920
for their sake.

06:57:34.920 --> 06:57:47.280
It's not the most threatening buy, but two Famic's makes it interesting here for Narvi.

06:57:47.280 --> 06:57:55.760
down to whether they're in the right position. Both B side. Bits and Mikazi fighting together.

06:58:06.000 --> 06:58:11.280
Oh my god, Bits gotta get away. You have Kevlar. Leave me, me.

06:58:17.280 --> 06:58:24.600
Well, congrats to Wonderful for winning the Famous Giveaway.

06:58:24.600 --> 06:58:27.040
He's been throwing that over.

06:58:27.040 --> 06:58:31.360
Still, in the right place right now, R-Navi.

06:58:31.360 --> 06:58:33.160
Oh, they're going to be...

06:58:33.160 --> 06:58:35.160
They're going to be smoked, lobbed in.

06:58:35.160 --> 06:58:37.160
Oh, they're going up, Kat.

06:58:37.160 --> 06:58:38.160
Oh, dear.

06:58:38.160 --> 06:58:39.160
They're going into the stack.

06:58:39.160 --> 06:58:40.160
Oh, dear.

06:58:40.160 --> 06:58:43.840
This could go very wrong, couldn't it?

06:58:43.840 --> 06:58:52.040
players here. One of the two rifles as well. Molly forces the fight, makes them

06:58:52.040 --> 06:58:56.220
happen, but right now they're all coming up in favor of Narvi, it's Wonderful's

06:58:56.220 --> 06:58:59.920
double. Molodoy does what he can in response. Good tap at range on the

06:58:59.920 --> 06:59:03.340
Glock, he's made this one possible. Got a 2v2 that they've got to break through

06:59:03.340 --> 06:59:08.380
right now, they're doing it! Molodoy secures a third! And at this point I

06:59:08.380 --> 06:59:11.760
mean so much bloodshed out towards the short side, Mikazi feels like he may as

06:59:11.760 --> 06:59:17.300
We'll give this to go. It's a 1v2 fighting chance. It's a lengthy reposition out towards long

06:59:21.540 --> 06:59:25.100
MP7 not the gun for the job you can Denise a tuck in play of his teammate

06:59:25.900 --> 06:59:33.460
Because they no kids on the clock and then a jump caught by Molotov's good little four kills from Molotov in a 2v4

06:59:33.460 --> 06:59:38.020
And that's what keeps fury alive up against a very threatening stack

06:59:38.020 --> 06:59:44.020
with all their eggs in the right basket, and they get scrambled.

06:59:44.020 --> 06:59:50.020
2v5 in fact with 4 for Molotoy.

06:59:50.020 --> 06:59:57.020
Absolute saviour of fury, finally getting to play the game and even getting an AWP for his troubles.

06:59:57.020 --> 07:00:03.020
You saw what happens when Molotoy kind of gets off to a rough start on map 1.

07:00:03.020 --> 07:00:07.020
How's it going to be when he's red hot from the word go?

07:00:07.020 --> 07:00:11.020
All comes out very early into this T side.

07:00:11.020 --> 07:00:14.020
A stark difference from what happened on Mirage.

07:00:14.020 --> 07:00:17.020
We were saying it felt like he barely ever got to don the gun.

07:00:18.020 --> 07:00:19.020
Very flashes.

07:00:19.020 --> 07:00:22.020
It's one thing we saw yesterday from Fury that was just unstoppable.

07:00:22.020 --> 07:00:25.020
Yuri's utility was mind-blowing.

07:00:25.020 --> 07:00:29.020
While I passion spent the whole game white screen.

07:00:29.020 --> 07:00:53.020
screen. So make control taken, weapons removed, any hope of Narvi dwindling.

07:00:53.020 --> 07:00:55.020
Lexi here's a drop getting inquisitive.

07:00:57.580 --> 07:00:58.780
How are you two out?

07:01:00.340 --> 07:01:04.620
Guns on in time and so Lexi nothing done on the P250 push.

07:01:05.460 --> 07:01:09.220
Bomb gets out of there as it was juggled onto Yuri and this one's nice and safe.

07:01:10.620 --> 07:01:13.180
It's a pistol and the conversion for Furia.

07:01:13.180 --> 07:01:32.460
the gun is not happening. Furia, lock it out. 3-0 start. Fantastic beginning for Furia considering

07:01:32.460 --> 07:01:36.860
they started both those halves in the hole back on Mirage.

07:01:36.860 --> 07:01:44.060
Arby's first full gun round with an AWP for Wanda4 as well.

07:01:44.060 --> 07:01:46.060
No waiting required.

07:01:46.060 --> 07:01:52.780
Yeah, I got a long spawn right now.

07:01:52.780 --> 07:01:56.300
It feels like you might try and use it.

07:01:56.300 --> 07:02:03.260
Playing an anti-rush over the wards long with wonderful offering support.

07:02:03.260 --> 07:02:10.060
That's what they've at least got this space. No early clashes in this round.

07:02:17.540 --> 07:02:24.260
Well, cool. Because these rounds over.

07:02:24.260 --> 07:02:35.780
Spooksman, give it and it takes it away, so Keisarato is just going to tuck himself in.

07:02:35.780 --> 07:02:43.300
Try and maintain the 5v4.

07:02:43.300 --> 07:02:47.740
Helping hand might get him out of this corner if he wants.

07:02:47.740 --> 07:02:50.220
Into the scope of Molotoy.

07:02:50.220 --> 07:02:54.660
shot the kingdom finds the entry on long and so wonderful at a commission to be

07:02:54.660 --> 07:03:03.340
five furious bomb out long still being a little bit cautious here but no reason to

07:03:03.340 --> 07:03:09.980
be no one in the site now if you're really leaning back to save so furious

07:03:09.980 --> 07:03:14.820
recovering well at the beginning of this game pistol converted to be five one

07:03:14.820 --> 07:03:16.820
First gun round tucked in

07:03:31.820 --> 07:03:35.660
No desperate need to hunt but Yuri will get curious

07:03:44.820 --> 07:04:02.820
to roll out into woods be just to try and remove these guns caught in the crossfire Navi will

07:04:02.820 --> 07:04:10.740
get out with both of these rifles still it's not much of a parting gift there is a world

07:04:10.740 --> 07:04:15.540
where you could try and piece together a buy again here and now with four guns in play.

07:04:15.540 --> 07:04:18.900
I feel like, yeah, I'll find a way for the AWP.

07:04:23.900 --> 07:04:26.220
That's just a bit of a partial around that save.

07:04:26.220 --> 07:04:28.660
Still a chance to remain competitive early.

07:04:29.540 --> 07:04:32.900
But a welcome return to the server for Furia.

07:04:33.740 --> 07:04:38.500
Just missed it there, but Molodoy even hit the tag to really sweeten the deal in this round.

07:04:38.500 --> 07:04:41.620
Wonderful Scout is out. I'm always watching when Wonderful's got the Scout.

07:04:44.740 --> 07:04:46.740
Guess where I was here very, very quickly.

07:04:48.000 --> 07:04:54.640
Having an eyes on middle, so it's something you've got to be considering, but you haven't really worried about these fast short walks just yet.

07:04:55.520 --> 07:04:57.520
Could get caught here.

07:04:57.760 --> 07:04:58.460
Oh wow.

07:04:58.900 --> 07:05:00.100
Don't go the way of beer.

07:05:00.100 --> 07:05:08.540
How long is short space and so if you feel like they want to do something with it, but

07:05:08.540 --> 07:05:11.620
they've taken a lot of damage here on the scale.

07:05:11.620 --> 07:05:12.620
Oh, no.

07:05:12.620 --> 07:05:13.620
Get with it.

07:05:13.620 --> 07:05:19.740
Chance just to think that is a little bit prettier for Na'Vi there.

07:05:19.740 --> 07:05:22.460
There's a lot of damage out towards mid and then falls on back.

07:05:22.460 --> 07:05:27.260
Na'Vi are in a fantastic position here to win this round.

07:05:27.260 --> 07:05:30.700
they're like a weaponry, Ima very strong in this spot.

07:05:34.140 --> 07:05:35.820
Running into the big guns, Arfuria.

07:05:37.100 --> 07:05:42.460
Oh, nearly the line up there. I really need Ima to connect on one of these full blind.

07:05:43.020 --> 07:05:48.380
Yuri able to find it. Deals with the ratman. That was one of the big guns brushed aside.

07:05:50.620 --> 07:05:53.260
Jump shot attempt for Wonderful comes up short.

07:05:53.260 --> 07:06:01.180
We take already on all of Navi here to scrap out towards the sport and thriving in the chaos our furia

07:06:02.220 --> 07:06:06.300
Wonderful scout can't connect that he gets sandwiched so still flawless

07:06:07.500 --> 07:06:12.540
And all that earlier damage doesn't come to matter almost reductive, but just miss shots here for Navi

07:06:12.540 --> 07:06:16.700
That's what it comes down to if Ema has anything more in that position

07:06:18.220 --> 07:06:21.980
Feel like Navi are in with a really good chance of winning that round. He's just missed on

07:06:21.980 --> 07:06:27.180
three low bursts and then they have enough time to molly him.

07:06:27.180 --> 07:06:33.420
Unfortunate scenes here for Narvi, but Furia are more than happy with these errors.

07:06:33.420 --> 07:06:38.220
Five zero star Narvi now sounding the alarm.

07:06:51.980 --> 07:07:06.820
Last two times that these teams have played on dust has been dominant wins for Furia.

07:07:06.820 --> 07:07:20.500
Oh, tag on the cross.

07:07:20.500 --> 07:07:28.300
Wonderful when fishing, but core nothing.

07:07:28.300 --> 07:07:34.380
This is already a great start to the round.

07:07:34.380 --> 07:07:38.580
kind of given the illusion that you're out on long you've got good space there

07:07:38.580 --> 07:07:43.260
and this earlier tag forcing a reaction out of Navi goes one for one out in the

07:07:43.260 --> 07:07:46.460
tunnels. It's a really good way to use your low player and just trade him for a

07:07:46.460 --> 07:07:54.040
full health player. Navi get out all the better in a sense. That was also the

07:07:54.040 --> 07:08:02.140
bomb spotted crossing into those long doors. See Navi, my tunnels control taken

07:08:02.140 --> 07:08:04.820
with the bomb spotted going awards long.

07:08:04.820 --> 07:08:06.260
I don't really have a lot of questions

07:08:06.260 --> 07:08:10.460
as to where Furia were positioning themselves in this round.

07:08:12.500 --> 07:08:13.340
Still holding on a mid.

07:08:13.340 --> 07:08:14.660
You got two players here, right?

07:08:14.660 --> 07:08:15.980
In the lower from earlier,

07:08:15.980 --> 07:08:18.500
Mikazi from that push up into the upper tunnels

07:08:18.500 --> 07:08:21.900
and still roaming around on Catwalk, willing to help him.

07:08:25.700 --> 07:08:28.260
Oh, they might catch players turning the wrong way.

07:08:28.260 --> 07:08:36.700
As one, Yuri finds the gap, makes it a double, and now in big trouble, Navi thought they had

07:08:36.700 --> 07:08:40.020
them right where they wanted them, but slip in the net.

07:08:40.020 --> 07:08:45.620
Yuri gets behind enemy lines, nowhere left to run for the captain, Alexi cut down, Furia

07:08:45.620 --> 07:08:47.300
saved themselves in that one.

07:08:47.300 --> 07:08:52.140
That's a beautiful call there for Fallen to walk back middle, a ballsy, late round

07:08:52.140 --> 07:08:54.260
decision, maybe even Yikinder called it to be honest.

07:08:54.260 --> 07:09:01.140
leading up Catwalk or leading up Long while his team go Catwalk and they just find the gap in RV.

07:09:02.260 --> 07:09:08.740
Seed of smoke on the Long Cross, everybody looks towards it. Shot in the back as Mikazi just misses

07:09:08.740 --> 07:09:17.300
the timing by seconds in lower. And Molodoy, that's third round in a row. He's gonna really

07:09:17.300 --> 07:09:22.820
make things easier when your B player is permanently wounded and this clash at Long is just what

07:09:22.820 --> 07:09:26.600
fury your ones

07:09:26.800 --> 07:09:32.100
rabid fights and simply done seven zero to different game now this a grudge no

07:09:32.100 --> 07:09:39.460
more. Furia stomping Navey into the dirt.

07:09:45.500 --> 07:09:50.380
Hot hands have mattered in this one, right? It just kind of... As I get in

07:09:50.380 --> 07:09:56.020
And that early momentum has been such a huge nudge, the idea that, you know, Molledoy had

07:09:56.020 --> 07:10:02.100
like a three kill first half back on Mirage, never really got going.

07:10:02.100 --> 07:10:05.660
Just thwarted early on and couldn't recover.

07:10:05.660 --> 07:10:10.740
Seeing games like that from Ema here in Rio as well.

07:10:10.740 --> 07:10:15.060
Right now it's Furia riding with all the momentum behind them.

07:10:15.060 --> 07:10:17.180
Navi left looking at forances.

07:10:17.180 --> 07:10:21.740
They're more of an aggressive stance out here towards long.

07:10:21.740 --> 07:10:26.940
They've given up less of the map.

07:10:26.940 --> 07:10:31.380
Off the rip, kind of taking priority away from these midfights and instead looking elsewhere.

07:10:31.380 --> 07:10:37.220
It's Alexi on this island towards long, desperately needed to get one of them as they come through

07:10:37.220 --> 07:10:39.980
the choke point.

07:10:39.980 --> 07:10:47.340
And even at the reactions here, the re-aggress into the upper tunnels, you lose a player

07:10:47.340 --> 07:10:51.820
but you gain something, you get info here, you better guide it and where to place this

07:10:51.820 --> 07:10:52.820
stack.

07:10:52.820 --> 07:10:57.140
You still need the kills, wonderful, and the cars you provide won.

07:10:57.140 --> 07:11:02.900
With a kill on the B player pushed all the way through the tunnels, the wonderful

07:11:02.900 --> 07:11:04.860
orb spotted over the water.

07:11:04.860 --> 07:11:08.060
It's a clear picture for Furia where the empty side of the map is.

07:11:08.060 --> 07:11:12.940
So he's just lurking with the AWP at some of these rounds, and he puts a smoke behind him, then moves through it.

07:11:12.940 --> 07:11:18.840
So Navi don't think he's out middle. That almost paid off. He slinks back behind the smoke, because his team already have B.

07:11:18.840 --> 07:11:22.440
Bits allowed to cross, but he won't be allowed entry into this site.

07:11:22.440 --> 07:11:28.860
Yuri has the cover from Khaar, a 2v3 that Navi looked to attempt with no kit, and Yuri is ready.

07:11:28.860 --> 07:11:36.360
It looks to pre-fire. Good tag, but Yuri gets the frag, and two low players. Doesn't matter, because WandaPool's got an AWP, and he's walking away.

07:11:36.360 --> 07:11:42.360
Furia, excellent mid-round again. The master of these moments.

07:11:46.360 --> 07:11:52.360
Amoledoy just, where you least expect him right now, keeps catching players off guard.

07:11:54.360 --> 07:11:59.360
Because he knife out after he kills the lurker, he thinks that's enough, he doesn't know.

07:12:01.360 --> 07:12:05.360
And Furia, yet to drop around on this two-side, a zero beginning.

07:12:06.360 --> 07:12:09.360
Na'Vi getting out-positioned.

07:12:11.360 --> 07:12:17.360
I mean, reassuring as well, right? Well, you've kind of been looking at Na'Vi with Mb in the squad that's a map up.

07:12:18.360 --> 07:12:24.360
Very reassuring to see Fury bounce back like this after a failure to launch at the top of the series.

07:12:25.360 --> 07:12:27.360
Back in the swing of things now.

07:12:27.360 --> 07:12:37.820
And a chance at a flawless half would be one hell of a return to form.

07:12:37.820 --> 07:12:40.120
Oh, Navi got a 13-0 yesterday.

07:12:40.120 --> 07:12:47.600
Well, they get thrown back in their face.

07:12:47.600 --> 07:12:54.040
Still waiting for that change of tune here for Navi yet to appear as close rounds.

07:12:54.040 --> 07:13:03.040
I'm thinking of a sword now. It's an AWP with a half-bite.

07:13:03.040 --> 07:13:07.740
And Furia just looked to brutalize on this V-side, walking ahead of the smoke,

07:13:07.740 --> 07:13:10.040
when damage done, they don't finish the job.

07:13:10.040 --> 07:13:13.040
If that kill comes into WONDERFUL, it feels like it's round done.

07:13:13.040 --> 07:13:16.040
That was three players spying on the catwalk there by Kei Serato.

07:13:16.040 --> 07:13:17.040
Oh, wait.

07:13:17.040 --> 07:13:20.040
He's asking for a flash. He knows what's on the other side.

07:13:20.040 --> 07:13:23.040
Teed up with a flashbang. Fallen goes right through.

07:13:23.040 --> 07:13:28.820
Well hold down the mid-cross. It's falling or it's nothing. He's trying to cut this part that towards short, but he'll get cut down

07:13:30.520 --> 07:13:32.180
Molodoy now moves in to join him

07:13:32.180 --> 07:13:37.460
It's that kill from Yuri that might change where this one's ending up back forth and back again

07:13:38.820 --> 07:13:43.480
The luck orp is back in middle still one more man inside of be to worry about

07:13:44.120 --> 07:13:46.120
a missed shot from Molodoy

07:13:46.120 --> 07:13:52.160
It leaves it just on Yuri that steps heard by the in at the car and so now V are all here

07:13:52.160 --> 07:13:54.160
This should be an unwinnable clutch

07:13:54.880 --> 07:14:01.840
Yuri dead as he rounds the corner and now V strike when you least expect it there to hero open that one saved for it by

07:14:01.840 --> 07:14:06.420
Wonderful collection of pistols. That's where they break the eight round streak

07:14:06.420 --> 07:14:07.160
I think fear him

07:14:07.160 --> 07:14:11.120
But maybe worried that there was a stack in that beep on side because they spotted wonderful view up

07:14:11.120 --> 07:14:14.000
They tagged it they didn't get a kill and the new player was close

07:14:14.000 --> 07:14:19.000
And so they cancel the call but if they just keep going in there, there's very little resistance

07:14:19.000 --> 07:14:23.360
There's no one on the bomb site. There's no one on the close left. They have a lot of room. They're down

07:14:25.120 --> 07:14:27.120
Close margin

07:14:28.640 --> 07:14:30.920
And still RV get it done

07:14:33.520 --> 07:14:40.460
But it's a sign of the times that fury are getting that cheeky to just walk four players in to be save that for later

07:14:44.000 --> 07:15:04.160
I mean that last round was a bit of a departure from the norm, Cowork's been a real struggle

07:15:04.160 --> 07:15:09.880
for Na'Vi throughout this map, they've lost it again here, had a couple of rounds where

07:15:09.880 --> 07:15:12.560
they've had to stack in the right place, they've had a lot of defenders over to

07:15:12.560 --> 07:15:16.760
towards A and haven't been able to stop Furia when they go for this site take.

07:15:16.760 --> 07:15:22.960
Alexi has been a part of that problem over the wards long.

07:15:22.960 --> 07:15:23.960
He's locked in a fight.

07:15:23.960 --> 07:15:28.560
He doesn't know he's having it with the Akinda.

07:15:28.560 --> 07:15:29.560
Sending.

07:15:29.560 --> 07:15:30.560
Oh!

07:15:30.560 --> 07:15:35.200
That's the collateral for Wonderful!

07:15:35.200 --> 07:15:37.920
And that'll change the tune of this round.

07:15:37.920 --> 07:15:41.280
One shot, 5v3.

07:15:41.280 --> 07:15:45.720
And with Alexey winning his fight over and long, it's hard, you're hard pressed to see

07:15:45.720 --> 07:15:48.880
a way in which Furia can save themselves here.

07:15:48.880 --> 07:15:51.620
Yuri trying to provide some leeway.

07:15:51.620 --> 07:15:57.200
Gabb found out towards B but Mikazi there to punish and as Molodoy moves in, okay,

07:15:57.200 --> 07:15:59.000
he gets that one.

07:15:59.000 --> 07:16:00.000
Let's get weird.

07:16:00.000 --> 07:16:02.640
How much further could he really take this?

07:16:02.640 --> 07:16:07.320
Tech 9 and an AWP, low time as well, forces the fight and Emo does give it to him,

07:16:07.320 --> 07:16:09.880
but the AWP not ready to fire off in time.

07:16:09.880 --> 07:16:12.880
starting a streak very late in the half.

07:16:14.880 --> 07:16:19.880
The kill for Mikazi there can't be overstated how important it is.

07:16:20.880 --> 07:16:24.880
If Uri can find a second frag and then with the Molly down a window

07:16:24.880 --> 07:16:28.880
providing a path for Molly to come out of the orb, that's a 2v5 cooking

07:16:28.880 --> 07:16:30.880
just by virtue of having to be bombsite.

07:16:30.880 --> 07:16:33.880
It feels even like, you know, even if Uri doesn't get the kill,

07:16:33.880 --> 07:16:35.880
even if he just gets across, that's a big problem.

07:16:35.880 --> 07:16:38.880
Went back for the fight, didn't realize Mikazi was close.

07:16:39.880 --> 07:16:47.780
802 though, this is scraps we're talking about for Navi, the last four and a half is their

07:16:47.780 --> 07:16:49.580
goal.

07:16:49.580 --> 07:16:54.420
Lovely, double for wonderful skewered on shorts.

07:16:54.420 --> 07:17:06.540
Do we have an all battle?

07:17:06.540 --> 07:17:08.540
Wonderful jump set

07:17:13.620 --> 07:17:17.660
Forever scared of this B site star here for furio with a couple rounds left

07:17:20.540 --> 07:17:22.540
They go quick up cats

07:17:23.260 --> 07:17:27.220
It's a bit of a reaction because they hear bit taking you know like deep long doors

07:17:27.220 --> 07:17:29.500
They had a lot of flashes there to help him out as well

07:17:31.220 --> 07:17:34.020
That flash was for a and it caught wonderful I think

07:17:36.540 --> 07:17:41.740
This is now a February off the ground for Navi. Oh, it's just got worse. Oh

07:17:42.580 --> 07:17:44.180
No, oh

07:17:44.180 --> 07:17:46.180
Molotov shrinking himself down

07:17:47.900 --> 07:17:52.000
Unable to get away to the corner because he's been found in the downtime there

07:17:52.000 --> 07:17:57.360
That's how towards be and that is the site opened up bits giving chase through the fire through the flames

07:17:57.360 --> 07:17:59.960
And now I'm in a backline your kindar's got his number

07:17:59.960 --> 07:18:06.720
And T'Navi were clutching at straws hoping they could find their way to four rounds.

07:18:06.720 --> 07:18:08.600
Spurier have just denied it there.

07:18:08.600 --> 07:18:09.600
Chaos, man.

07:18:09.600 --> 07:18:10.600
Pure chaos.

07:18:10.600 --> 07:18:16.040
Spurier get the entries, they still run out through cat smoke into two players, and thank

07:18:16.040 --> 07:18:23.400
goodness the bomb doesn't get stuck, gives them a way out there.

07:18:23.400 --> 07:18:27.360
Another round where Mikazi's aggress gets caught, but it's hard to blame him with

07:18:27.360 --> 07:18:29.360
How quick his team get massacred in the middle.

07:18:40.860 --> 07:18:41.860
Spotted.

07:18:42.860 --> 07:18:43.860
And dealt with.

07:18:46.360 --> 07:18:47.860
Small doors map now.

07:18:51.860 --> 07:18:53.860
It looks like Fury just want that B bomb site.

07:18:53.860 --> 07:18:55.360
In fact, there's the only option left.

07:18:55.360 --> 07:18:57.360
Navi take back long control

07:19:00.560 --> 07:19:03.480
It needs to be very careful as they come through this smoke

07:19:04.640 --> 07:19:08.600
It's the timing on this bits dead surely just gonna get the smoke off

07:19:08.600 --> 07:19:13.060
Just gonna crouch down, but there's no stopping the tide of fury. They're already through that utile

07:19:14.960 --> 07:19:21.160
Yeah, that's how he dead as he tries to just scramble in and look for anything well on your way to double digits now

07:19:21.160 --> 07:19:29.040
Now you get a bomb down, 4v2, and Na'Vi so far away.

07:19:29.040 --> 07:19:31.840
This is one hell of a resurgence out of Furia.

07:19:31.840 --> 07:19:36.000
And a fall down for Na'Vi.

07:19:36.000 --> 07:19:40.200
It's fine good damage, but this B site is so tricky, even in even odds.

07:19:40.200 --> 07:19:47.120
Let alone a 2v4 like this, AWP primed and ready to go on the window and 10 rounds secured

07:19:47.120 --> 07:19:48.120
for Furia.

07:19:48.120 --> 07:19:54.960
They get a bit of revenge by the time dust two rolls around and they're looking to make this a three mark series after all

07:23:18.120 --> 07:23:26.060
to be a part of the game.

07:23:26.160 --> 07:23:28.100
With playoffs in Rio on the

07:23:28.200 --> 07:23:30.100
line, fury refused to go down

07:23:30.200 --> 07:23:32.100
without a fight 13 three

07:23:32.200 --> 07:23:34.100
against them on Mirage. Furious

07:23:34.200 --> 07:23:35.100
send the message right back to

07:23:35.200 --> 07:23:37.100
Navi and it is received 10 to

07:23:37.200 --> 07:23:39.100
first half dominant tea side

07:23:39.200 --> 07:23:41.100
Moledoy moments and your

07:23:41.200 --> 07:23:43.020
kinder surprise. It's not V

07:23:43.120 --> 07:23:45.020
who are already thinking about

07:23:45.020 --> 07:23:49.120
Fury returned to form much welcome in this playoff deciding match

07:23:56.960 --> 07:23:59.920
Yeah, I mean they were on easy street here on map to

07:24:00.960 --> 07:24:07.120
Win the pistol find the conversions proceed to go on an eight round streak

07:24:07.120 --> 07:24:16.200
That's a left themselves with very little to do in this second half.

07:24:16.200 --> 07:24:22.080
I'll shout through these middoors.

07:24:22.080 --> 07:24:26.400
Mikazi doesn't go and take the space.

07:24:26.400 --> 07:24:28.200
Instead this one building to be an A finish.

07:24:28.200 --> 07:24:33.960
They lose a man out towards Long and his cat control is not coming for free either.

07:24:33.960 --> 07:24:39.040
able to wrestle that kill back at least still fallen gets here in time and it's

07:24:39.040 --> 07:24:45.600
a clean tap for a second in the round the captain oh no in the hit it's your

07:24:45.600 --> 07:24:50.360
kinder offered up on a silver platter backstab is a little bit weird wonderful

07:24:50.360 --> 07:24:55.040
takes one more with him now it's a lexie tries his hand at the full commit

07:24:55.040 --> 07:24:58.560
they're closing in and it gets denied don't even get the reward at the end

07:24:58.560 --> 07:25:03.400
of that one fallen puts on a clinic with four sick round for fallen to

07:25:03.400 --> 07:25:05.560
I think it starts a long onto bit as well.

07:25:05.560 --> 07:25:07.520
It's walking out through doors,

07:25:07.520 --> 07:25:09.480
goes on to find four frags,

07:25:09.480 --> 07:25:12.640
denying the plant Alexi optimistic

07:25:12.640 --> 07:25:15.160
as Na'Vi were looking for anything there

07:25:15.160 --> 07:25:16.680
and what was they 2v4.

07:25:17.680 --> 07:25:19.200
Nice!

07:25:19.200 --> 07:25:21.320
Boa, brother, carayno, boba, boa!

07:25:21.320 --> 07:25:23.000
Should just lock in this map now.

07:25:23.000 --> 07:25:24.480
Both pistols for Furia.

07:25:26.160 --> 07:25:27.880
A bomb-plantless force.

07:25:29.200 --> 07:25:31.160
A hope and a dream for Na'Vi.

07:25:33.400 --> 07:25:57.540
All right wonderful I had to win that fight if you want to have any hope that's managed

07:25:57.540 --> 07:26:00.820
to live up to his half of the bargain and now that little gets passed off to

07:26:00.820 --> 07:26:04.140
mccasey

07:26:04.140 --> 07:26:08.340
defense is pretty split here and now via getting in position to make moves

07:26:08.340 --> 07:26:11.060
making them quickly out towards short

07:26:11.060 --> 07:26:14.660
more than we can't hold them on the cross

07:26:14.660 --> 07:26:16.100
who

07:26:16.100 --> 07:26:19.680
fall into a tree short will be safe as he

07:26:19.680 --> 07:26:22.580
deals with wonderful lay out through the long doors is just this round's

07:26:22.580 --> 07:26:25.020
already too far gone surely

07:26:25.020 --> 07:26:28.860
See hit something crazy. It does feel done and there's two M4s at long

07:26:28.860 --> 07:26:34.340
So now if you're gonna get really well armed moving forward, it's a huge recovery needed, but

07:26:35.580 --> 07:26:41.380
Bear minimum is that force by wind putting furia on the ropes

07:26:45.860 --> 07:26:47.860
Trying to save as much as they can

07:26:55.020 --> 07:26:57.020
Windforce by check.

07:27:09.020 --> 07:27:13.020
There's still a ways to go, I think before you get blade smiling, but uh...

07:27:15.020 --> 07:27:17.020
He knows it has to start somewhere.

07:27:25.020 --> 07:27:38.940
I'm a little bit scared we're going to make an appearance.

07:27:38.940 --> 07:27:43.260
Oh, that's a tag through the smoke.

07:27:43.260 --> 07:27:45.700
Now I need to follow it up.

07:27:45.700 --> 07:27:48.460
The chance at a bit more will get finished off.

07:27:48.460 --> 07:27:50.620
Can't connect twice on the car seat

07:27:56.180 --> 07:28:02.740
You can that no through the smoke it's being considered any further is a dead sentence

07:28:05.860 --> 07:28:09.000
I'll step for bit so no reason to move

07:28:18.460 --> 07:28:25.440
I like a bit makes one step and it just walks all the way away so we can just permanently

07:28:25.440 --> 07:28:31.680
stuck in this corner can't move anywhere can't help his team and too fearful to reaggress

07:28:31.680 --> 07:28:37.260
into what is now empty are we about to hit be get blocked is that enough to stop them

07:28:37.260 --> 07:28:48.940
though. Tempted to go through, but Lexi, calling them back.

07:28:48.940 --> 07:28:57.100
This could be weird, fallen. Spots that rotate. They're still looking down here on long.

07:28:57.100 --> 07:29:03.980
Two are deciding against it, timing missed. Lexi securing the site means that bomb just

07:29:03.980 --> 07:29:05.980
move straight in.

07:29:05.980 --> 07:29:07.980
And so, Narvi are fine.

07:29:07.980 --> 07:29:13.980
Well played by Alexi, because the only way they can go wrong, I think Narvi would have been fine just hitting B anyway, but the smoke is scary.

07:29:13.980 --> 07:29:15.980
And the only way it can go wrong is if it's a B stack, right?

07:29:15.980 --> 07:29:22.980
Maybe all three players are tucked in on B right there, and Narvi go into the stack, they lose a round, devastating.

07:29:22.980 --> 07:29:29.980
But Alexi, right before Narvi hit that site, realizes he just needs to walk out and get the info, get some numbers.

07:29:29.980 --> 07:29:34.140
Maybe he spots a player or two and that info is worth a death

07:29:34.900 --> 07:29:38.500
Spotting two players means hey guys a four and one be just hit the side. It's fine

07:29:39.740 --> 07:29:46.620
But he realizes nobody's home and so now we can rotate out another clean enough around five guns stay alive for now

07:29:59.980 --> 07:30:01.980
Baby steps in the right direction.

07:30:17.660 --> 07:30:19.660
Still yet to see a full gun round.

07:30:29.980 --> 07:30:34.980
Oh, that's a really nice shot out of Fallon.

07:30:34.980 --> 07:30:39.980
Got a gun there for K Serato.

07:30:39.980 --> 07:30:45.980
This is a pretty tricky round in front of an RV now.

07:30:45.980 --> 07:30:49.980
Just going for the full long group.

07:30:49.980 --> 07:30:52.980
While this has gone on, the fury cleared out both upper and lower tunnels.

07:30:52.980 --> 07:30:54.980
Fallon still ripping heads off.

07:30:54.980 --> 07:30:58.980
That's two kills and a tag put down range from the captain.

07:30:58.980 --> 07:31:00.980
the

07:31:00.980 --> 07:31:02.980
scouting

07:31:02.980 --> 07:31:04.980
.

07:31:04.980 --> 07:31:06.980
Now finds its way into Mollado

07:31:06.980 --> 07:31:08.980
his hands. He's feeling inspired

07:31:08.980 --> 07:31:10.980
after that fallen double seems

07:31:10.980 --> 07:31:13.980
like it.

07:31:13.980 --> 07:31:14.980
Finish is the kill on bit

07:31:14.980 --> 07:31:17.980
finishes what fallen started.

07:31:17.980 --> 07:31:19.980
Oh,

07:31:19.980 --> 07:31:22.980
a navi.

07:31:22.980 --> 07:31:23.980
This one rapidly feeling like it's

07:31:23.980 --> 07:31:25.980
getting away from them. Alexi

07:31:25.980 --> 07:31:27.980
card stand tall.

07:31:27.980 --> 07:31:32.540
It's double kill for a fallen scout. Molodoy puts it to use as well with two of his own and

07:31:33.340 --> 07:31:35.840
Furia just lock him at point like that simple

07:31:41.580 --> 07:31:47.020
Sickening way to get there, but maybe Navi already knew it was inevitable

07:31:57.980 --> 07:32:17.780
Oh, I just so much confidence to hang around the middle till Navi eventually block him.

07:32:17.780 --> 07:32:20.960
Catlong split, but double setup after you've fallen.

07:32:20.960 --> 07:32:23.380
This is a guarantee one kill position and then you're killed.

07:32:23.380 --> 07:32:25.020
You're never ready for him.

07:32:25.020 --> 07:32:27.100
Can fall and find more value.

07:32:27.100 --> 07:32:33.020
will do still looking to check the corner but no trade is the orpice holding the line. Yikinda

07:32:33.660 --> 07:32:40.060
he's got the bomb here I think this one is about as good as done unless Mikazi can bail them out.

07:32:40.060 --> 07:32:45.180
Yeah it's a nice kill but he's got a long road to run if he wants to help out in this push out on

07:32:45.180 --> 07:32:51.180
the long side. Mikazi a wonderful split up and wonderful just decides to concede go all the

07:32:51.180 --> 07:32:57.220
way back. Again I was actually getting chased and that's the bomb toppled away

07:32:57.220 --> 07:33:01.980
from Navi out in middle. Makazi's even fired off of the long side so they know

07:33:01.980 --> 07:33:06.100
where he is. The right hand's on the wall for this one. Makazi big clutch

07:33:06.100 --> 07:33:12.480
needed but very little time to work with. A fury relieving nothing a chance.

07:33:12.480 --> 07:33:17.300
Why give him the fights? Why give him the opportunity to claw this one

07:33:17.300 --> 07:33:27.540
back. And this one is over. Furia lock it in, doing two Navi. What they did to them at the start of

07:33:27.540 --> 07:33:33.540
this series. Hell of a turnaround on Dust2. The playoffs still in the conversation. This one now

07:33:33.540 --> 07:33:40.260
goes the distance. We're heading to Nuke as the decider. Nuke, absolutely necessary. Thank you

07:33:40.260 --> 07:33:44.660
very much, gentlemen. Navi jumping into the server and jump out nearly as quick as they

07:33:44.660 --> 07:33:49.420
they got in there. They're kind of a run back of the similar score line we got in the map

07:33:49.420 --> 07:33:53.220
prior, but obviously in the opposite direction, which does set us up nicely for a V01 at the

07:33:53.220 --> 07:33:57.780
end of the saw, no matter what. Guys, right out of the gate, let's start with you, Pemp.

07:33:57.780 --> 07:33:58.780
What did you see?

07:33:58.780 --> 07:34:02.260
Well, I saw Feria, who played much, much better, and I saw Naby, who is kind of,

07:34:02.260 --> 07:34:05.700
I guess, doing the same tendency as they've been doing lately, where they can't seem

07:34:05.700 --> 07:34:09.580
to strike two maps together in a row. If you look at the results of the past

07:34:09.580 --> 07:34:12.500
two months, most of the games are always heading to three maps. Most of the games

07:34:12.500 --> 07:34:17.140
I guess more often than not, the games are them winning their obsessions map,

07:34:17.140 --> 07:34:20.260
losing their own and then going into the third map and doing a good job.

07:34:20.260 --> 07:34:23.700
So in that regard, I guess I'm not really surprised by them,

07:34:23.700 --> 07:34:27.220
but I don't know about you, Janko. We haven't had a close map today.

07:34:27.220 --> 07:34:30.340
It seems like every single map has to be a washout one side or another.

07:34:30.340 --> 07:34:32.660
And for that, I can't find any explanation.

07:34:32.660 --> 07:34:35.300
Yeah, we had in the first series that we didn't do,

07:34:36.100 --> 07:34:39.220
but for us, absolutely. And I think this is, you know,

07:34:39.220 --> 07:34:44.740
Fury are finally showing up to the match, right? We saw Donk had the worst map of his career against

07:34:44.740 --> 07:34:50.020
Falcons on Mirage, then Mulder had the worst map of his, also on Mirage in the first map of this

07:34:50.020 --> 07:34:57.060
series. So him and the rest of Fury woke up, arrived, were able to get a good start and

07:34:57.060 --> 07:35:01.540
really never look back on this too. Yeah, because really in that first map it was a question

07:35:01.540 --> 07:35:05.140
I was wondering, okay, is Mollet away gonna wake up? Is he gonna play the game with us

07:35:05.140 --> 07:35:09.940
today and it appears as though he did get that message you did get the memo very much did had a

07:35:09.940 --> 07:35:15.380
great showing you know had a lot of impact in in the first half did it with different types of guns

07:35:15.380 --> 07:35:18.980
let's put it that way as well so good to see him bounce back it's not often that we see more

07:35:18.980 --> 07:35:23.460
though I have two bad maps in a row but it has been the story so far 26 that he hasn't been

07:35:23.460 --> 07:35:28.260
I guess as good as we saw in 2025 he's not a bad player per se it's not that he's in a

07:35:28.260 --> 07:35:33.620
crisis either but he hasn't really been doing too well compared to where you'd like him to be

07:35:33.620 --> 07:35:37.780
and where he should be winning Furia, because he has been the extractor for this lineup for a long, long time,

07:35:37.780 --> 07:35:41.620
and you can clearly see the correlation between him playing well and Furia obviously winning him.

07:35:42.500 --> 07:35:47.300
Yeah, but then you also combo that with Fallen on the CT side, what is the little procure here

07:35:47.300 --> 07:35:51.940
for the side of Furia. It was good work done, and it was a good domination of work as well for

07:35:51.940 --> 07:35:58.420
a response to what your first map in the series was. Yeah, absolutely. Good from them to bounce

07:35:58.420 --> 07:36:05.940
back right after what was a tough start and on their own map pick. So we'll see what that means

07:36:05.940 --> 07:36:10.980
going into the third map. These series are always a little bit weird when you have two stomps and

07:36:10.980 --> 07:36:15.140
that you go into the third map and both teams are thinking, all right, which way is this one

07:36:15.140 --> 07:36:20.740
gonna go? Like who's going to get off to that strong start now? And if it doesn't go your

07:36:20.740 --> 07:36:24.180
way, you know, just having to figure out something, be able to make the adjustments

07:36:24.180 --> 07:36:28.820
necessary to still get back into the game just because your 5-0 down doesn't mean

07:36:28.820 --> 07:36:31.820
the game has to be over right then and there. No, and I don't think it does. I

07:36:31.820 --> 07:36:34.660
think we can even illustrate some of that right about now, Janko. Yeah,

07:36:34.660 --> 07:36:39.960
absolutely. So, for Furia, they didn't really have to do much themselves on their

07:36:39.960 --> 07:36:43.740
T side early on, right? In the first gun round there was that fallen spam

07:36:43.740 --> 07:36:48.500
kill through the smoke, or mid, right? And a couple of punishes against the

07:36:48.500 --> 07:36:51.700
rest of the nine players. So, into the second gun round we go to go into

07:36:51.700 --> 07:36:57.120
throw some early utility on Long, Ima, this is enough for him to fall back because if you

07:36:57.120 --> 07:37:03.000
look at the radar, you will see that the opening from Navi was 2A, 2B and wonderful with the

07:37:03.000 --> 07:37:08.360
AWP sticking on mid, right, and they don't want to fight for Long in this sort of a scenario.

07:37:08.360 --> 07:37:12.000
So as soon as they see some utility, they want to fall back, they're hoping to maybe

07:37:12.000 --> 07:37:17.640
get it for free and off of the back of that, they're going to react into B tunnels,

07:37:17.640 --> 07:37:21.080
try to catch Kcerato, they do, but not before he finds a kill, right.

07:37:21.080 --> 07:37:25.400
So you see them continue to be proactive, Ema is going to find one more kill.

07:37:25.400 --> 07:37:31.200
So now in a 3v4 scenario, they're trying to play it safe on the side of Na'Vi.

07:37:31.200 --> 07:37:35.380
They're not pushing their advantage anymore, they have a player in upper B, Ema fell back

07:37:35.380 --> 07:37:40.120
from short, two more players towards the A bomb site and here you can see a kinder

07:37:40.120 --> 07:37:47.120
about to throw some utility, just the cross smoke while his teammates try to flank around.

07:37:47.120 --> 07:37:52.720
So a nice little call in the 3v4 to still draw the attention of the opponents, bait them out.

07:37:52.720 --> 07:37:58.560
Yuri caught great timing, Makase didn't see him on this lure, so he's going to be able to get two kills.

07:37:58.560 --> 07:38:03.840
Moldoi gets the kill on Makase, you see he doesn't expect an extra player there, and Moldoi even gets the final one.

07:38:03.840 --> 07:38:13.120
So this was some very cool work from Furia in the mid-round, also showcases how they were able to get a lot of these openings and make life easier for themselves on the T side.

07:38:13.120 --> 07:38:17.220
Also, one of those rounds that Blade is always going to point out in the Navi camp, that is a bit atypical.

07:38:17.220 --> 07:38:22.320
Seems like the communication was off, the fact that you have two players on Catwalk who's unaware that there can be a player

07:38:22.320 --> 07:38:24.120
possessing it towards Short right here.

07:38:24.120 --> 07:38:29.220
Maybe because the player in Lower Dark, you know, said that he would be covering Short at that point, and there was a timing window, but...

07:38:29.220 --> 07:38:35.520
That's also part of the story here, that Furia played exceptionally well, sure, but Navi just, you know, nowhere to be found on the server either.

07:38:35.520 --> 07:38:39.720
As I said, that's been kind of a tendency for them. As of late, they do well, they win most of their games,

07:38:39.720 --> 07:38:42.720
But they do have certain maps or certain half where they just

07:38:42.720 --> 07:38:44.520
doesn't get anything done whatsoever.

07:38:44.520 --> 07:38:47.220
And it's something we ask played about during the Blast Tournament as well.

07:38:47.220 --> 07:38:48.520
And you couldn't really explain it.

07:38:48.520 --> 07:38:53.520
So it's just something that I guess it happens, you know, it's hard to find an explanation for it.

07:38:53.520 --> 07:38:55.520
But definitely something that needs to work.

07:38:55.820 --> 07:38:59.920
Let's focus a little bit more in depth here on the Navi side.

07:38:59.920 --> 07:39:01.320
Let's do that by talking about Ema.

07:39:01.520 --> 07:39:02.720
Where was he at in Map 2?

07:39:03.020 --> 07:39:04.120
Well, he's continuing the Tournament.

07:39:04.120 --> 07:39:06.220
He's played five maps in the Tournament so far.

07:39:06.220 --> 07:39:07.820
And he's been top fragging in two maps.

07:39:07.820 --> 07:39:09.520
And he's been bottom fragging in three maps.

07:39:09.520 --> 07:39:12.920
So it's either very good for him or not so great.

07:39:12.920 --> 07:39:15.480
This time around, and does too, didn't get too much done.

07:39:15.480 --> 07:39:17.880
You know, again, I don't think he's the reason why they lost.

07:39:17.880 --> 07:39:19.600
I think Nami as a team just didn't show up

07:39:19.600 --> 07:39:20.960
and he was part of that product.

07:39:20.960 --> 07:39:23.000
But it is kind of interesting that he's now had five maps

07:39:23.000 --> 07:39:25.640
in a rowways constantly altering between being the bottom

07:39:25.640 --> 07:39:27.200
fragger or the top fragger.

07:39:27.200 --> 07:39:28.240
Yeah, absolutely.

07:39:28.240 --> 07:39:31.160
And, you know, there was some unfortunate rounds for him

07:39:31.160 --> 07:39:33.200
towards the end of the first half, right,

07:39:33.200 --> 07:39:35.160
where a kinder just pams him straight through the smoke.

07:39:35.160 --> 07:39:36.400
Sometimes those games happen.

07:39:36.400 --> 07:39:41.400
And it's hard to play when you're playing from behind and losing a lot,

07:39:41.400 --> 07:39:44.900
not just because of the score line, Captain Obvious, yes, I know,

07:39:44.900 --> 07:39:47.900
but at that point your opponents are playing with a lot more confidence

07:39:47.900 --> 07:39:50.900
and the playbook is wide open, everything is available to them.

07:39:50.900 --> 07:39:54.400
They can go for some high-risk moves at that point in time

07:39:54.400 --> 07:39:57.900
because they have such a big buffer in terms of rounds and also in terms of the economy.

07:39:57.900 --> 07:40:02.400
So it's way more difficult for you to get reads on them, right?

07:40:02.400 --> 07:40:06.700
And to be able to sort of predict what they're going to try and do and remain in that rotator position

07:40:07.080 --> 07:40:09.480
That's where it gets tough. You don't have

07:40:09.920 --> 07:40:11.960
You weren't able to stop them anywhere

07:40:11.960 --> 07:40:17.600
So you have no way of conditioning them and sort of getting an inkling on what it is that they want to do

07:40:17.600 --> 07:40:20.120
Also the player type that he is, you know, he is a momentum player

07:40:20.120 --> 07:40:24.400
You know, and it's hard to kind of define exactly what makes a player a momentum player

07:40:24.400 --> 07:40:26.680
Not you breeze a great example back in time in Australia

07:40:26.680 --> 07:40:29.840
Once you get off to a good start once you're getting a bit of confidence yourself

07:40:29.840 --> 07:40:35.980
You perform better and some players are more potent to that and I think Emma is a great example of that once he's off to a great start

07:40:35.980 --> 07:40:38.040
Once he's feeling momentum under server. He's doing well

07:40:38.040 --> 07:40:42.480
But also a player that sometimes is struggling a bit to fight from behind and play from behind

07:40:42.480 --> 07:40:44.320
Which definitely was the case he endorsed as well

07:40:44.320 --> 07:40:50.540
And would it be fair to sort of put the assessment that you kinder can also be a moment the player because we see the high-risk high-reward

07:40:50.640 --> 07:40:54.440
Sort of scenarios he puts himself in and if he doesn't pull those off well, then yeah

07:40:54.440 --> 07:40:57.460
That's definitely a detriment to the team but in this one, you know a 4k we'll take that

07:40:57.460 --> 07:41:03.460
Yeah, we highlighted him as well and this is a very nice round from him, you know, Naby wins two in a row,

07:41:03.460 --> 07:41:07.460
maybe they could get to 8-4, win second pistol, make it interesting.

07:41:07.460 --> 07:41:13.460
But here, you know, he stepped up, nice little play, sneaky around the smoke

07:41:13.460 --> 07:41:17.460
and then just he continues to be a nuisance in that mid-side of the map.

07:41:17.460 --> 07:41:19.460
This is the killer, your reference.

07:41:19.460 --> 07:41:24.460
Not much to say here, if you're Ima right, but he just continued for

07:41:24.460 --> 07:41:29.560
Yeah, Kindar really punishing, you know the aggression from Bit here trying to get back towards that

07:41:30.020 --> 07:41:35.240
B bomb site right and in the end fallen is going to steal his ace not to very

07:41:36.020 --> 07:41:37.420
Captain-ish

07:41:37.420 --> 07:41:42.880
From him, but you know just to illustrate that we really did see a 180 from the individuals

07:41:43.660 --> 07:41:46.820
That's where you get where you can now, you know, you're 30 seconds into the round

07:41:46.820 --> 07:41:50.160
He's already through the smoke down towards mid-dose almost in CT spawn

07:41:50.160 --> 07:41:54.960
27 seconds into the ground and you know he plays that kind of style of Counter-Strike

07:41:54.960 --> 07:41:59.760
and when you're up 8-2 you can allow yourself to take a bit more risk and that's where some of that momentum is kind of coming from.

07:41:59.760 --> 07:42:05.560
And I think on Nuke it's really important these two players that we pointed out because now for a long time it's been Mirage and Nuke.

07:42:05.560 --> 07:42:12.160
You know in 2024 it's been a lot of Mirage and Nuke and JL was a big part of that being the lobby player.

07:42:12.160 --> 07:42:20.160
Now Ima playing that instead of him, we don't see the same output and obviously with Jekinder outside,

07:42:20.160 --> 07:42:25.160
him and Makaze head to head, that's going to be a big part of this decider.

07:42:25.160 --> 07:42:30.160
Yeah, thinking about Nuke, I have a hard time believing that Jekinder will be able to be bad agress.

07:42:30.160 --> 07:42:32.160
I mean, it's just not designed that way, right, Jacob?

07:42:32.160 --> 07:42:36.160
It's just to find the same amount of impact, but CT side, Jekinder and Yacht, you can definitely be aggressive if you want to

07:42:36.160 --> 07:42:40.160
and he has a bit of a habit of doing so, so I think there's definitely a place he can do.

07:42:40.160 --> 07:42:45.040
I'm curious as well to Nuke, you know, Navi had the opportunity of allowing Inferno to be in the mix.

07:42:45.040 --> 07:42:49.680
That could have been the third map Furia chose between Nuke and Nubis, I believe it is.

07:42:49.680 --> 07:42:56.480
So they wanted to be Nuke and the reason I find that interesting is that we saw Navi pick Inferno yesterday as their map pick against Bate.

07:42:56.640 --> 07:42:58.880
Today they're the ones removing it in the second phase.

07:42:58.880 --> 07:43:02.080
So if anything, it speaks volumes to the strength of the map pool right now,

07:43:02.080 --> 07:43:08.400
where they can allow themselves to base on the opposition, base on the opponent to Sanna, I guess divert the map pool in a direction.

07:43:08.400 --> 07:43:11.920
So if I'm Blade of Na'Vi, I almost would have wanted to play Nuke right here

07:43:11.920 --> 07:43:16.400
and I'm curious to see what that game plan is and what they see against Furia that should be working out so well.

07:43:17.280 --> 07:43:22.720
Yeah, I think so. And I think when we look at Nuke and now that we've gotten both teams to have their sleeper map out of the way,

07:43:23.120 --> 07:43:24.240
Janko, who do you have to win?

07:43:24.560 --> 07:43:28.320
I don't know, man. Let's just go with a team that played well the last, right?

07:43:28.320 --> 07:43:32.960
So let's just go with Furia. They just had a good map, but not a good map from them. Why not?

07:43:33.200 --> 07:43:35.280
Yeah, well, might as well. And I guess we'll stick that.

07:43:35.280 --> 07:43:38.640
If you're watching this at home, you're going to go ahead and use that hashtag IEM, that's

07:43:38.640 --> 07:43:41.040
short for the Intellect Tree Masters, which is what you're watching.

07:43:41.040 --> 07:43:42.040
We're in Rio de Janeiro.

07:43:42.040 --> 07:43:43.040
You're being 2026.

07:43:43.040 --> 07:43:46.280
We're ready to get this one back on our way, but not before we go to a break, so we'll

07:43:46.280 --> 07:43:47.280
go anywhere.

07:43:47.280 --> 07:44:00.280
We'll be right back.

07:44:00.280 --> 07:44:02.600
Placent matches set your starting point.

07:44:02.600 --> 07:44:04.720
Facing rating measures your impact as you climb.

07:44:04.720 --> 07:44:08.840
The soft ELO reset narrows the gap between the highest ELO players and the rest of level

07:44:08.840 --> 07:44:09.840
10.

07:44:09.840 --> 07:44:12.280
Your starting point will be based on your recent ELO inactivity.

07:44:12.280 --> 07:44:16.760
We're introducing Facet Rating, so you can see exactly how much you stack up against others

07:44:16.760 --> 07:44:17.760
at your level.

07:44:17.760 --> 07:44:21.640
Facet Rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning

07:44:21.640 --> 07:44:22.640
the match.

07:44:22.640 --> 07:44:25.800
Taking into account the full situation.

07:44:25.800 --> 07:44:27.800
Season 8 launches April 22nd.

07:44:27.800 --> 07:44:29.200
Good luck and have fun!

07:44:34.720 --> 07:44:35.720
Come on!

07:44:40.720 --> 07:44:42.720
Erky Dog will be the second shot!

07:44:43.720 --> 07:44:44.720
That's my evil!

07:44:48.720 --> 07:44:50.720
Something's going so good, I love this deal!

07:44:50.720 --> 07:44:52.720
And that's what I do when it happens!

07:44:52.720 --> 07:44:53.720
Katowice!

07:44:54.720 --> 07:44:55.720
We are back!

07:45:04.720 --> 07:45:06.720
It's my favorite one.

07:45:11.720 --> 07:45:13.720
Good fire.

07:45:13.720 --> 07:45:17.720
It was easy. It didn't look easy, but I don't know.

07:45:17.720 --> 07:45:19.720
I don't know, we played on the one.

07:45:19.720 --> 07:45:21.720
Every one, so...

07:45:21.720 --> 07:45:22.720
I think it was Firefight.

07:45:22.720 --> 07:45:24.720
Yeah, I was live here. I looked in the top right.

07:45:24.720 --> 07:45:26.720
He was behind me.

07:45:26.720 --> 07:45:30.720
I'm looking in the top right, as you see. One, two, three, four.

07:45:30.720 --> 07:45:32.720
47.

07:45:32.720 --> 07:45:34.720
Good.

07:45:34.720 --> 07:45:36.720
That's...

07:45:36.720 --> 07:45:38.720
Good, that's very good.

07:45:42.720 --> 07:45:44.720
This is actually new to me.

07:45:44.720 --> 07:45:46.720
I remember.

07:45:48.720 --> 07:45:50.720
Gross.

07:45:50.720 --> 07:45:52.720
Sucker.

07:45:52.720 --> 07:45:54.720
I'm through with you.

07:45:54.720 --> 07:45:56.720
Thanks for the sound.

07:45:56.720 --> 07:45:58.720
It's a long hair way.

07:45:58.720 --> 07:46:00.720
This is for the light.

07:46:00.720 --> 07:46:05.720
No, I thought I'm gonna die, but I just killed him.

07:46:05.720 --> 07:46:07.720
Oh, I remember this. It's me.

07:46:07.720 --> 07:46:09.720
Is this the knives?

07:46:09.720 --> 07:46:10.720
Yes.

07:46:10.720 --> 07:46:11.720
Sit.

07:46:13.720 --> 07:46:14.720
No.

07:46:15.720 --> 07:46:17.720
You're not even looking.

07:46:17.720 --> 07:46:21.720
Yeah, it was funny. After this round I had a lot of money.

07:46:21.720 --> 07:46:22.720
You had a lot of money?

07:46:22.720 --> 07:46:27.720
To be honest, I remember I had not a lot of bullets in my...

07:46:27.720 --> 07:46:33.220
I remember, if I remember correctly, I switched to USB and they didn't have a lot of bullets

07:46:33.720 --> 07:46:37.720
and that was... and praying that I will not...

07:46:40.720 --> 07:46:42.720
I saw it like, two days ago.

07:46:43.720 --> 07:46:45.720
I actually don't remember this habit.

07:46:50.720 --> 07:46:51.720
Nice shots.

07:46:52.720 --> 07:46:53.720
That was good.

07:46:54.720 --> 07:46:55.720
The first one I've probably given you.

07:46:55.720 --> 07:46:58.720
Yeah, it's kinda good, but...

07:47:00.720 --> 07:47:02.720
Visual kills forever.

07:47:02.720 --> 07:47:04.720
Yeah, nice and special here.

07:47:05.720 --> 07:47:07.720
He's doing every day.

07:47:07.720 --> 07:47:09.720
He's doing every day, every map.

07:47:19.720 --> 07:47:21.720
In control.

07:47:25.720 --> 07:47:37.600
I could do a case here, but Alex is tall.

07:47:37.600 --> 07:47:40.400
Alex helped, taking the round.

07:47:40.400 --> 07:47:42.400
Nice, good job.

07:47:42.400 --> 07:47:44.400
Look what he's done.

07:47:44.400 --> 07:47:45.400
He did very good.

07:47:45.400 --> 07:47:48.400
He crashed, went plus, and it's very good.

07:47:48.400 --> 07:47:49.400
Thank you very much.

07:47:49.400 --> 07:47:51.400
You should look at the flight.

07:47:51.400 --> 07:47:53.400
I think it's me again

07:47:56.900 --> 07:47:58.900
I thought it was going to be physical

07:47:58.900 --> 07:48:00.900
I didn't see the clutch, because I knew that

07:48:00.900 --> 07:48:02.900
I think it was slow and easy

07:48:02.900 --> 07:48:04.900
It was not hard

07:48:04.900 --> 07:48:06.900
I didn't see the jump again

07:48:06.900 --> 07:48:08.900
I didn't see the kills, I didn't see the clutch

07:48:08.900 --> 07:48:10.900
I thought it was going to be an important moment

07:48:10.900 --> 07:48:12.900
I didn't see it, it's nice

07:48:21.400 --> 07:48:30.920
And this has been a series dominated by momentum and momentum alone, right?

07:48:30.920 --> 07:48:36.680
Two dominant maps picked up, as Na'Vi starting us off with a very, very strong look in on

07:48:36.680 --> 07:48:42.200
their pick of Mirage, Furia able to bounce back just as hard, just as fast by the time

07:48:42.200 --> 07:48:43.680
Dust2 rolled around.

07:48:43.680 --> 07:48:47.520
Playoffs are on the line here, Furia want to be in front of that home crowd, Na'Vi

07:48:47.520 --> 07:48:54.000
stand between them and that goal. We're on Nuke as the decider. A day of ups and downs to Daniels

07:48:54.560 --> 07:49:01.360
posting their worst performances of all time. It was Donk and Molodoy today, both with 0.3

07:49:01.360 --> 07:49:07.760
rated maps, literally career worse. So Molodoy definitely stepped it up back on Dust2 and

07:49:07.760 --> 07:49:13.280
dragged Furia over the line. I just want both teams to perform now here on Nuke and give

07:49:13.280 --> 07:49:21.280
It's going to give us a close affair. It's going to get tactical. It's going to get exciting and it's going to get hot here on this third map of the series playoffs await.

07:49:21.280 --> 07:49:29.280
Furia on home soil, Narvi off the back of back to back Grand Finals with more to prove and more to do.

07:49:29.280 --> 07:49:32.280
Can they do it in the group stage? Let's find out.

07:49:32.280 --> 07:49:51.880
It's been these T-side starts.

07:49:51.880 --> 07:49:55.360
93 first half in RV and then a 10-2 for Furia.

07:49:55.360 --> 07:50:00.200
So then Sneaky over here towards the rampside with Alexey just throwing in a bit of Util

07:50:00.200 --> 07:50:04.920
in towards A, but there's a double ramp setup and those Dolbarettas on Caster Argus won't be here

07:50:04.920 --> 07:50:10.680
seriously at least it's not meant to. Ema comes through with a blinding double. Fuller might take

07:50:10.680 --> 07:50:15.880
up position and get that trade. It's still an advantage for Navi as they drop in Ramside.

07:50:15.880 --> 07:50:19.640
They're moving in towards this B site. Molodoid is the only guy down here.

07:50:20.280 --> 07:50:24.440
Road burn and he gets cornered trapped in it because he makes it a coffin.

07:50:24.440 --> 07:50:29.560
Oh, scared of the swing out of the door, but it's going to get that plant just a little

07:50:29.560 --> 07:50:34.480
bit delayed and not delayed enough to bait Furia back into this round.

07:50:34.480 --> 07:50:37.880
This is safe to say a winnable with a smoke in the way.

07:50:37.880 --> 07:50:43.960
Alexi caught on rampside, but Navi plenty of positions to pick and plenty of smokes

07:50:43.960 --> 07:50:44.960
to hide inside.

07:50:44.960 --> 07:50:47.160
Yuri desperately looking for this kill.

07:50:47.160 --> 07:50:48.160
Navi don't need these fights.

07:50:48.160 --> 07:50:51.160
Navi don't need these fights, but they're giving them away.

07:50:51.160 --> 07:50:52.160
Fall on low health.

07:50:52.160 --> 07:51:02.160
1v2 in no time, looks for the kill and they don't bite, so Na'Vi a bit of a worry in a moment, but they will secure their pistol.

07:51:07.160 --> 07:51:08.160
Jump scare.

07:51:09.160 --> 07:51:12.160
It wasn't really a celebration, it was just a yell.

07:51:15.160 --> 07:51:19.160
A good sign though, Ima, you love that he started strong, right?

07:51:19.160 --> 07:51:24.760
right? Feels like whenever he kind of lights up those first few rounds, he just goes on

07:51:24.760 --> 07:51:31.280
a tear for the rest of the game. And so we're convincing double, really the double kill

07:51:31.280 --> 07:51:40.520
that won you the round if you're not the...

07:51:40.520 --> 07:51:50.140
fly back. Oh, it's the hack. Uh-oh. What do you think you realize now? This really isn't

07:51:50.140 --> 07:51:57.940
where you want to be. It goes down fighting. That was four Furia players on round for

07:51:57.940 --> 07:52:04.060
a second. His sight was wide open, but the hole's now been plugged. He's made it in

07:52:04.060 --> 07:52:09.020
towards the back of the sight, playing around this hot smoke. Worried about the

07:52:09.020 --> 07:52:13.020
the scale, Mikazi, will this position go unclear?

07:52:18.020 --> 07:52:23.020
Shot from olidoy. Hit the tag second time around, but I think this one's over.

07:52:25.020 --> 07:52:31.020
Timing event. Barrel in the way. Alexi spots it.

07:52:31.020 --> 07:52:33.020
And so there's the chance.

07:52:33.020 --> 07:52:37.020
Alright, there's an RV 2 and 0. Good as done.

07:52:37.020 --> 07:52:39.340
At least four spies have been scary all day long.

07:52:44.700 --> 07:52:49.180
Some very close rounds and some even converted ones for both teams.

07:53:00.580 --> 07:53:02.420
Can never be safe with these bomb plants.

07:53:02.740 --> 07:53:06.220
Even your kinder on notice low health.

07:53:07.020 --> 07:53:22.780
I'm wondering, I don't know. He's backing up. What do we think? He's good. Six damage.

07:53:22.780 --> 07:53:34.700
It's not the best save you've ever had. Interesting. Puria put a bit of money in here. Fulans

07:53:34.700 --> 07:53:43.460
dropped in M4 into play. Yeah, I mean, a anchor by MP9 play uproof play back side. That's

07:53:43.460 --> 07:53:49.100
kind of fallen. We think it's like boost outside with the M4 something like that. Again gimmick

07:53:49.100 --> 07:53:53.940
get it involved. Oh, tries his hand at the secret cross. No one on silo to spot that.

07:53:53.940 --> 07:53:58.700
So case or other does have a powerful position if they try and play for the yard. And he's

07:53:58.700 --> 07:54:05.700
He's also in a position to save if they just didn't A-pop or a quick ramp hit.

07:54:05.700 --> 07:54:12.700
And you know, Fallen can buy whatever, he can always make it work, so I like this investment.

07:54:12.700 --> 07:54:21.020
Furia, one of those teams who always try to not exactly reinvent the wheel, but try to

07:54:21.020 --> 07:54:25.700
figure out new ways to maximize output with the economy.

07:54:25.700 --> 07:54:29.460
you know those early furia buys where they would buy and be nines on the first gun round

07:54:32.040 --> 07:54:34.040
always been cheeky with those kind of things

07:54:35.460 --> 07:54:37.940
all the way just getting pushed off the line here around

07:54:37.940 --> 07:54:39.940
Navi to go back to an A-hits

07:54:41.200 --> 07:54:42.500
high setup

07:54:42.800 --> 07:54:44.000
hotroof and rafter

07:54:48.500 --> 07:54:50.500
and as caseurato gets curious

07:54:51.700 --> 07:54:53.500
he will be able to support this A-site

07:54:53.500 --> 07:54:55.300
it's mccasey's lurktiming

07:54:55.700 --> 07:54:58.100
that might have to come in clutch here for Navi.

07:55:00.800 --> 07:55:03.700
I feel like with enough time he should have K-Sorato's number.

07:55:03.700 --> 07:55:05.400
It's just the hits already on its way.

07:55:05.400 --> 07:55:07.500
K-Sorato will get to play it forward.

07:55:07.900 --> 07:55:09.700
Molotoy left as the sole survivor.

07:55:09.700 --> 07:55:11.600
Scout finds its way into the heavens again

07:55:11.600 --> 07:55:13.000
and can't connect on it.

07:55:13.000 --> 07:55:18.300
Navi, 3-0, conversions found in the presence of that gun.

07:55:18.300 --> 07:55:19.800
Might have come as a bit of a surprise.

07:55:19.800 --> 07:55:21.200
They still get through.

07:55:21.200 --> 07:55:22.600
They go into a full-man stack

07:55:22.600 --> 07:55:25.200
with the really quick ramp rotation to heaven

07:55:25.200 --> 07:55:32.160
and they close it out with Mikazi not even part of the hits there so really well done by Navi

07:55:33.120 --> 07:55:37.360
when you consider there's a rifle in play and there's some armored pistols as well

07:55:38.800 --> 07:55:43.200
clinical here's the gun round though and yeah Fallen's even got a phallus with nade so it's

07:55:43.200 --> 07:55:48.240
got pretty well here for fury at capitalizing on damage here even against downfence first

07:55:48.240 --> 07:55:50.800
Gunround catches him off guard finds the gap

07:55:56.840 --> 07:55:59.440
It's already a problem to solve for

07:55:59.920 --> 07:56:06.320
Furia, they surely heard him drop. Yeah, it's one of these things where it's it's fine to kind of ignore it for now

07:56:06.800 --> 07:56:10.640
Just acknowledge that there is a guy roaming around down towards Lola, but I

07:56:11.120 --> 07:56:15.160
Have to have something to show for it here and now with the odd smokes in and a chance to cross

07:56:15.160 --> 07:56:21.480
You're very worried about this plane of the lowest site need to try and stem the bleeding a little by corralling them out in the yard

07:56:21.760 --> 07:56:24.480
Now you're in big trouble because no one's even playing for amperation

07:56:24.880 --> 07:56:28.200
Molotov is all pink and Navi have gone down behind these smokes

07:56:28.200 --> 07:56:31.920
So with the vent cut off Navi have so much control on the map right now

07:56:31.920 --> 07:56:37.300
You might just be out of this one already. Oh, well, they're in your gender. I'm giving it a good puns though

07:56:38.840 --> 07:56:44.560
Is it you tell to lock down these angles so open sight lines available in this ramp hold?

07:56:45.160 --> 07:56:53.980
One shot from olidoy's, all that's come through here and bomb now planted, fury is still teetering

07:56:53.980 --> 07:56:57.800
around on the edge of this bombsite, do they just ride it off?

07:56:57.800 --> 07:56:58.800
It feels like they have to.

07:56:58.800 --> 07:57:05.440
Shouldn't go for this, there's no position, no smoke, not if you have ample players in

07:57:05.440 --> 07:57:06.440
the site.

07:57:06.440 --> 07:57:08.680
They're all here, they're grouped for it.

07:57:08.680 --> 07:57:14.400
This is really risky retaking, it might just end disastrously.

07:57:14.400 --> 07:57:19.120
Lexi double up close. Wonderful cleans the flank and now they know that it's too late to save.

07:57:19.120 --> 07:57:22.400
Lexi hops around the corner and makes it so.

07:57:22.400 --> 07:57:25.440
Warped for wonderful, secured and fourth round taken.

07:57:25.440 --> 07:57:30.560
Furia not making up their mind quick enough about going for that B retake.

07:57:32.720 --> 07:57:35.840
And would have just loved someone in the side, but they were so obsessed with

07:57:35.840 --> 07:57:39.600
stopping the cross in the first place. Three players fighting the yard smokes.

07:57:39.600 --> 07:57:48.600
By the time you came to go back to ramp, it was too late.

07:57:48.600 --> 07:57:59.600
Navi had caught some lovely rounds on his T side, across Mirage, and now Nuke.

07:57:59.600 --> 07:58:03.600
And this just hasn't been a series of comebacks either, you know.

07:58:03.600 --> 07:58:05.600
It's been very, very one-sided maps.

07:58:05.600 --> 07:58:10.360
Whoever's kind of found success in the early stages has gone on to steamroll

07:58:11.880 --> 07:58:15.200
Are we gonna get more of that now with Navi in pole position?

07:58:17.040 --> 07:58:20.320
Well we con round ahead of Furia and their hemorrhaging players

07:58:20.320 --> 07:58:26.200
So not gonna come here even though these forces have always felt fairly threatening. This doesn't feel like one of them

07:58:27.680 --> 07:58:29.680
Didn't see more, do I?

07:58:30.480 --> 07:58:31.920
Oh no

07:58:31.920 --> 07:58:35.120
Olig out and Mikazi well handled

07:58:37.800 --> 07:58:41.280
Five against two and just pistols here

07:58:44.720 --> 07:58:49.520
Simply done five alive naffy for control right now fury are getting bludgeoned

07:58:56.600 --> 07:58:59.960
You've been throwing a kind of litany of problems here to open this one up

07:58:59.960 --> 07:59:04.360
Yards become a real issue as the game's gone on.

07:59:04.360 --> 07:59:12.480
Hima kind of set a weird precedent as well to open things up with that instant ventrop

07:59:12.480 --> 07:59:13.480
in the first gum round.

07:59:13.480 --> 07:59:21.400
You don't really know what to expect here at an RV.

07:59:21.400 --> 07:59:24.480
So Fury, I don't really like how blind some of these rounds have felt.

07:59:24.480 --> 07:59:26.960
They come in with a bit more aggression here on the CT side.

07:59:26.960 --> 07:59:27.960
They've gone.

07:59:27.960 --> 07:59:29.580
They're all the way under the silo.

07:59:30.420 --> 07:59:33.800
You can now playing right at the front of the pack.

07:59:34.680 --> 07:59:36.240
Malaga is really trying to sell for you.

07:59:36.240 --> 07:59:37.800
Kind of not having this position,

07:59:38.240 --> 07:59:39.920
needing the smoke, spamming with orb.

07:59:41.040 --> 07:59:43.640
But as him in case we're all so far off,

07:59:43.640 --> 07:59:45.480
you can just got so much info.

07:59:46.240 --> 07:59:47.440
Navi threw a second wall.

07:59:49.480 --> 07:59:51.400
Because he is going to lurk outside here,

07:59:51.760 --> 07:59:53.960
but the rest of Navi in.

07:59:54.560 --> 07:59:56.200
So you're kind of going to get impatient.

07:59:56.200 --> 08:00:02.200
No, he just hard commits to this position and Macaulay has got to clear it.

08:00:02.200 --> 08:00:03.200
I feel like it'll be unlikely.

08:00:03.200 --> 08:00:04.200
Yeah, lazy check.

08:00:04.200 --> 08:00:07.200
You're kind of 5v4, Furia, ready.

08:00:07.200 --> 08:00:11.200
And you're telling your side players right now just ready yourselves, right?

08:00:11.200 --> 08:00:15.200
You've spotted it was just the Macaulay lurk on its own outside.

08:00:15.200 --> 08:00:20.200
And so batting down the hatches into this top site.

08:00:20.200 --> 08:00:27.880
doesn't have to be a lot of movement here for furia they've shut down the yard

08:00:27.880 --> 08:00:31.640
they've got fallen just playing for info over towards ramp in a very safe

08:00:31.640 --> 08:00:36.560
position and so no reason to move no reason to go looking for these fights

08:00:36.560 --> 08:00:45.400
there's really no options for navi saving in a 5v4 or 5v3 I mean it's

08:00:45.400 --> 08:00:51.400
It's only enough in the game that I haven't exactly got a wealth of money, but a couple

08:00:51.400 --> 08:00:52.600
of buys left in them.

08:00:52.600 --> 08:00:54.920
Obviously, you just don't like their odds.

08:00:54.920 --> 08:00:58.200
If you're happy with that one, more than happy.

08:00:58.200 --> 08:01:10.440
They get to keep all their guns.

08:01:10.440 --> 08:01:15.080
So nice setup for your kinder, and it goes a long way with two players full baiting

08:01:15.080 --> 08:01:21.560
for his position by a long margin. This is the earliest in the first half. A CT gun round

08:01:21.560 --> 08:01:26.120
has come through. So let's see if you can actually offer up some resistance here. And

08:01:26.120 --> 08:01:29.640
they're not just, you know, ripe for reset. They get five alive. They get you as well.

08:01:29.640 --> 08:01:34.600
So if you can still read by no matter what happens here, even ashes, the level of

08:01:34.600 --> 08:01:38.920
security that you've not been used to having in the series so far,

08:01:38.920 --> 08:01:45.640
Well, literally starts down towards lower with this AWP

08:01:47.640 --> 08:01:49.640
So nice change

08:01:50.760 --> 08:01:52.760
Then drop fake

08:02:08.920 --> 08:02:15.920
I like that third smoke.

08:02:15.920 --> 08:02:22.920
Let's across the garage and also, stops info if you break one of the two.

08:02:22.920 --> 08:02:28.920
It's going to find Hazelato in main. Good shots for bit.

08:02:28.920 --> 08:02:35.920
Double headshot and Navi with full control.

08:02:35.920 --> 08:02:39.460
although he still could win the round in lower bomb is coming in

08:02:41.200 --> 08:02:43.440
And it's almost all of Navi here with him

08:02:43.960 --> 08:02:45.960
But he doesn't believe

08:02:46.400 --> 08:02:53.920
Starting to shuffle away. The outside's been so quiet for so long while the toy comes back right place right time shot lands

08:02:55.640 --> 08:03:02.440
You've seen that all pin and lower does that scare you a bit still offering results trying to carve a path a backup option here

08:03:02.440 --> 08:03:06.420
Four Navi three kills deep on the round. He'll knock out a fourth as well

08:03:06.760 --> 08:03:13.760
This one has been assigned sealed and delivered by bit single-handedly. How the hell does he win that 5v4 and as well?

08:03:13.760 --> 08:03:16.860
It's had to be bit with his clinical headshots

08:03:19.400 --> 08:03:22.260
Fodoy dead man walking not getting that gun out of there

08:03:22.260 --> 08:03:28.280
It is all bit baby four kills in a huge gun round Navi saved for it and it pays off

08:03:28.280 --> 08:03:35.700
off. The initial double already felt fantastic, you know, you do just get a bit of that fear

08:03:35.700 --> 08:03:40.040
creeping when the orb fires off at lower, the rest of the map is a little bit tenuous

08:03:40.040 --> 08:03:43.540
and Bitz having to do it all while he's like 10 health from those earlier fights. Yeah,

08:03:43.540 --> 08:03:48.120
if he doesn't climb heaven there, Narvi looking like they might just have to go out single

08:03:48.120 --> 08:03:52.640
door and Molodoy was ready for it after his first pick in secret. So that could

08:03:52.640 --> 08:03:56.760
have been a, you know, Molodoy moment. Instead, Bik gives them a path back into

08:03:56.760 --> 08:04:05.440
that top site and even has great cover to clear CT event.

08:04:05.440 --> 08:04:09.740
So, A-man brain, position pays off.

08:04:13.640 --> 08:04:14.440
Look at that.

08:04:22.840 --> 08:04:25.440
Just have Lexi even call the money, perfectly.

08:04:28.440 --> 08:04:30.940
You know what they're up against? Fury with another rifle round.

08:04:35.440 --> 08:04:40.440
Swing and a miss for Molodoy and an attempt at the door fight.

08:04:49.440 --> 08:04:52.440
Daring them to go down the vent.

08:04:55.440 --> 08:04:58.440
Smoke's getting deployed again outside.

08:04:58.440 --> 08:05:04.100
I know if you've done a really nice job just with these smoke walls of kind of constantly keeping the pressure on in yard

08:05:04.100 --> 08:05:06.680
Right using it as a bit of a red herring in some of these rounds

08:05:07.200 --> 08:05:09.200
Maybe it's you know, so

08:05:09.720 --> 08:05:13.780
Decisive in the cross. They've given fury or a lot of reason to worry about it

08:05:14.560 --> 08:05:16.920
McCarthy will creep past with these smokes

08:05:18.120 --> 08:05:21.120
Rest of RV looking rampside bit

08:05:21.440 --> 08:05:27.840
Nice to leave the charge in it's double setup here for fury a first man dead in your kinder brushed aside backstab

08:05:27.840 --> 08:05:31.680
No way spotted and mollied off Yuri doesn't get to play

08:05:32.280 --> 08:05:35.600
Sick for a lexie not taking the fight. Just looking to lock the door

08:05:36.000 --> 08:05:42.600
Give Mikazi time could across secrets instead come back into main to take this a site and that is a lovely kill

08:05:42.960 --> 08:05:47.020
Relieves a lot of pressure. Now we go back up heaven with three players and the bomb

08:05:47.880 --> 08:05:52.120
It's a very hard spot to lose from now. Now. They're calling rings around furia

08:05:52.120 --> 08:05:55.560
We are playing in the dark round after round.

08:05:55.560 --> 08:06:01.100
Maccazzi offering a kill back has given Furia a chance, but do they want to take it out of

08:06:01.100 --> 08:06:03.960
position, no kit, no smoke?

08:06:03.960 --> 08:06:07.420
There's just too many reasons to write this one off.

08:06:07.420 --> 08:06:09.060
Money's in a really bad spot for Furia.

08:06:09.060 --> 08:06:10.060
They're hemorrhaging rounds.

08:06:10.060 --> 08:06:15.020
They need all the guns they can get, and they still have that Molotoway AWP intact.

08:06:15.020 --> 08:06:18.060
So just going to concede this one.

08:06:18.060 --> 08:06:24.820
and one lead. Said that this just hasn't been a series of comebacks. Had the

08:06:24.820 --> 08:06:33.660
earliest CT rifle round found of the entire series so far in round six, but

08:06:33.660 --> 08:06:41.820
that's not done much to bolster this defensive half. I mean Na'Vi, they're

08:06:41.820 --> 08:06:45.580
not over-complicating this. They throw in largely, you know, just these yard

08:06:45.580 --> 08:06:50.860
smokes in, but a variety of different cools around them means, if you feel like they're

08:06:50.860 --> 08:06:53.740
flying blinded, the one round they were able to get was where they came through with a

08:06:53.740 --> 08:06:58.380
bit more aggression in the yard. I would have figured out earlier whether or not it

08:06:58.380 --> 08:07:03.180
was, you know, a ruse or the full commit. That was your Kindar vs. Mikazi out there.

08:07:03.180 --> 08:07:06.180
Nice, nice, let's go, guys.

08:07:12.180 --> 08:07:16.180
I've no reason to punch with a fast ground either. These have just been perfect.

08:07:16.180 --> 08:07:18.180
Now Fury are the ones getting desperate.

08:07:18.180 --> 08:07:22.180
Pushing into Lobby, they try to do it together, but they're getting siphoned off one by one.

08:07:22.180 --> 08:07:24.180
This is an isorato through the smoke.

08:07:24.180 --> 08:07:26.180
It's a bit of a symptom of what we're just saying, you know.

08:07:26.180 --> 08:07:28.180
You're flying blind in these rounds.

08:07:28.180 --> 08:07:32.180
These outside smokes are causing a great deal of paranoia to try and figure out what Lobby are doing,

08:07:32.180 --> 08:07:35.380
but it just falls all out on its face.

08:07:35.380 --> 08:07:37.700
Mikazi there to trade out in the yard.

08:07:37.700 --> 08:07:39.380
It's only Molodoi.

08:07:39.380 --> 08:07:42.180
He's dead as soon as Ema rounds the corner.

08:07:42.180 --> 08:07:44.020
Ema's feeling it right now as well.

08:07:44.020 --> 08:07:48.420
Him and bit just monstrous aim in the series.

08:07:48.420 --> 08:07:50.380
Ema first and third map merchant.

08:07:50.380 --> 08:07:52.740
Yeah, just don't talk about that second.

08:07:52.740 --> 08:07:56.140
To be fair, no one was saving them.

08:07:56.140 --> 08:07:58.780
Coming alive in the nighttime at 10 and 3.

08:08:02.180 --> 08:08:07.660
And that round just to live it on a platter and you don't blame fury for trying to do something different

08:08:07.660 --> 08:08:12.920
But not we just called the perfect I don't think they were even necessarily already for that

08:08:12.920 --> 08:08:17.640
But as soon as they see the first player through heart everyone cancels they hold their smokes wonderful scopes ramp

08:08:17.980 --> 08:08:21.380
I'll be just wait for more reactions and fury and take their own grave. I

08:08:22.140 --> 08:08:26.600
Mean you also just think like it feels that online it feels so obvious in a sense, right?

08:08:26.600 --> 08:08:28.460
You see that first guy getting aggressive and you go

08:08:28.460 --> 08:08:34.400
Oh, they're finally tired of kind of giving us the room and the respect just kind of coming to us weak lobby crunch as well

08:08:34.400 --> 08:08:37.600
No utility smoke push on two fronts

08:08:38.320 --> 08:08:41.600
And that's after Yuri walks through the huts alone. So

08:08:43.180 --> 08:08:48.600
Yuri had it coming to them eight one lead and this was meant to be kind of a

08:08:50.060 --> 08:08:54.960
Chance of triumph for for theory of the idea that they could just breeze into that arena

08:08:54.960 --> 08:09:02.400
a you know get the nice easy route to play in front of the home crowd obviously it's

08:09:02.400 --> 08:09:06.780
not a do or die matchup playoffs are on the line loser though is to battle on

08:09:06.780 --> 08:09:11.000
through that lower bracket hey after when two more BO3s rather than just here

08:09:11.000 --> 08:09:21.640
and now and one of them likely against Aurora or mouse well in fact will be if

08:09:21.640 --> 08:09:28.360
you're gonna make it all the way. So no safety here for Furia. Still a couple

08:09:28.360 --> 08:09:32.440
rounds in the half to maybe redeem yourself. Molodoy and your kinder

08:09:32.440 --> 08:09:38.560
outside as Navi get cheeky walking through smokes. Do get punished. Falling

08:09:38.560 --> 08:09:48.680
at ramp. Hiding out in plain sight. Oh no. It still holds his own for one but 2v4

08:09:48.680 --> 08:09:51.480
Or a Moldoi, does he want to over-commit here?

08:09:51.480 --> 08:09:53.520
I just let them down into B.

08:09:53.520 --> 08:09:55.720
Yeah, it's a rare position for Furia, right?

08:09:55.720 --> 08:09:57.360
Being in an advantage such as this,

08:09:57.360 --> 08:09:58.600
so I think you do everything you can

08:09:58.600 --> 08:10:00.400
to hold onto it, four on two.

08:10:00.400 --> 08:10:01.520
They do give up the side.

08:10:01.520 --> 08:10:03.120
They will allow Narvi to move in,

08:10:03.120 --> 08:10:05.040
even a chance of the bomb plant.

08:10:05.040 --> 08:10:06.160
Moldoi's disrupted it.

08:10:06.160 --> 08:10:08.400
Still, they've lost your kinder.

08:10:08.400 --> 08:10:10.560
Little skirmish here over towards the rampside.

08:10:10.560 --> 08:10:12.560
Leaves wonderful in the clutch.

08:10:14.400 --> 08:10:16.720
And now as he looks out through the single door,

08:10:16.720 --> 08:10:22.640
now a route opens to maybe pull a rabbit out of the hat. This was not supposed to be around

08:10:22.640 --> 08:10:29.120
the wonderful could win. Plum will go down at upper hits arrive and scrambled on through. It's

08:10:29.120 --> 08:10:33.760
Yuri just chasing him down on the back of the bomb plant doesn't want to give wonderful room to

08:10:33.760 --> 08:10:38.480
get comfortable in that clutch. Right. Cool. But it's a very scary call to have to make. Right.

08:10:38.480 --> 08:10:43.520
One miss shot. Wonderful goes wide on that can go very, very wrong. And you've offered up

08:10:43.520 --> 08:10:50.720
three 1v1s to a hot hand Navi. But Furia with a must-win round that was a 5v3

08:10:50.720 --> 08:10:55.600
record outside with no trades allowed by onto Navi.

08:11:02.400 --> 08:11:06.400
Don't think Furia gonna get given rounds that easily again though right?

08:11:06.400 --> 08:11:12.000
It's the first time Navi have gotten that cheeky in this entire game. And oh

08:11:12.000 --> 08:11:16.000
Oh no, is it the Rush? The Alexi MP7 comes out with the first spawn.

08:11:18.000 --> 08:11:24.000
Oh it feels like Alexi, front of the pack. Flash to get him on his way, won't find the opening,

08:11:24.000 --> 08:11:30.000
hoping the chaos can provide something here. Now the... Break through this hold!

08:11:30.000 --> 08:11:33.000
One man left up in the heavens and fallen is dealt with!

08:11:35.000 --> 08:11:40.000
Just a sheet of kills from Mikazi, three of them on the entry.

08:11:40.000 --> 08:11:45.420
And he got caught off guard look at the wrong way. He's flicking back into furia players coming through smokes

08:11:46.000 --> 08:11:51.720
They've even got past him right over the top. Wonderful. What's the knife Molotoy? What's what's he doing?

08:11:52.360 --> 08:11:56.240
He didn't go over goes back under and let's him leave

08:11:58.320 --> 08:12:00.320
So he's gonna walk through this smoke there

08:12:01.320 --> 08:12:08.160
Hey, Molotoy should still be dead. Oh dear because he's got him boxed in right behind the disorder committee

08:12:08.160 --> 08:12:18.160
you something. Oh, yeah. Try to

08:12:18.160 --> 08:12:20.160
be cheeky with it. You don't

08:12:20.160 --> 08:12:22.160
let me hold on to this. It's the

08:12:22.160 --> 08:12:24.160
big ticket. I am even multiple

08:12:24.160 --> 08:12:26.160
chances to remove it. Molotov. He

08:12:26.160 --> 08:12:28.160
gets down with the or the soul

08:12:28.160 --> 08:12:30.160
survivor of that round. They

08:12:30.160 --> 08:12:32.160
can laugh it off. It's a nine

08:12:32.160 --> 08:12:33.160
two game, but you don't want

08:12:33.160 --> 08:12:37.400
way, there would have been an

08:12:37.400 --> 08:12:39.400
op in this round. There's the

08:12:39.400 --> 08:12:45.160
cope for you, but. Hey, this.

08:12:45.160 --> 08:12:49.160
He wasn't the scope.

08:12:49.160 --> 08:12:53.160
Six cents.

08:12:53.160 --> 08:12:57.160
No, man, because he knows he's

08:12:57.160 --> 08:13:01.160
going to be getting a word from

08:13:01.160 --> 08:13:06.740
You fought for this time to put it to use and he will

08:13:19.040 --> 08:13:23.320
Oh, it's a good flash that is a really nice flash sequence

08:13:23.960 --> 08:13:26.520
All right now V in dire straits

08:13:26.520 --> 08:13:33.460
They've spotted Mollinoi playing on the ladder still cut down a fury and will find a third that all getting out

08:13:34.100 --> 08:13:36.100
Wielded and put to work

08:13:36.140 --> 08:13:42.660
Stealing away three on the half. It's not a lot right? This has been a very dominant series across every single map

08:13:42.660 --> 08:13:47.340
Can fury at buck that trend or is this where Navi lock in the playoffs?

08:16:56.520 --> 08:17:13.120
come on and continue to play

08:17:14.220 --> 08:17:16.620
off. They want to push them to

08:17:16.720 --> 08:17:18.320
the lower bracket and they are

08:17:18.420 --> 08:17:19.220
four rounds away from locking

08:17:19.320 --> 08:17:21.420
in that one spot themselves.

08:17:21.520 --> 08:17:23.020
Fury. It's a long road to

08:17:23.020 --> 08:17:28.300
13-3, 13-4, maybe more in store if they don't wake up here and now

08:17:28.860 --> 08:17:34.000
T sides have been the bread and the butter so let's see if Furia can give us a punt

08:17:34.180 --> 08:17:38.760
Yeah, wouldn't be the first time Navi have made themselves one of the public enemies out here in Brazil

08:17:39.740 --> 08:17:42.560
But hey just for all time's sake, let's see if they can do it again

08:17:43.460 --> 08:17:46.060
Rounds away from guaranteeing a playoff spot

08:17:46.060 --> 08:17:55.180
aggressive look in the pistol out of Navi coming through with two players

08:17:55.180 --> 08:17:59.980
aggressive on the rampside even making a move out towards hot to crunch on to

08:17:59.980 --> 08:18:05.420
the lobby not panned out in the first stages but wonderful lens a helping hand

08:18:05.420 --> 08:18:10.340
Duel Barrett is picked up and bought forward it will get dropped out towards

08:18:10.340 --> 08:18:15.860
the rampside so Furia have regained some control now you've just got to

08:18:15.860 --> 08:18:22.860
trying to help rain alexi b

08:18:26.640 --> 08:18:30.680
this killer

08:18:30.680 --> 08:18:33.180
hunting them down

08:18:33.180 --> 08:18:37.360
period make the right move ramp

08:18:37.360 --> 08:18:38.460
a dirty

08:18:38.460 --> 08:18:40.980
they're gonna go up having

08:18:40.980 --> 08:18:44.980
leaves in a strong post plan but lexie could play a spoiler behind the

08:18:44.980 --> 08:18:48.980
site and look to deny this bomb ever going down. He's moved into Lobby.

08:18:48.980 --> 08:18:53.980
Silent Drop will go a long way right now just to buy those extra few seconds.

08:18:53.980 --> 08:18:56.980
Fury clearing out positions on top.

08:18:58.980 --> 08:19:03.980
Kinder makes it in. Park should be allowed, Alexi. Clutch begins.

08:19:03.980 --> 08:19:08.980
Heaven Post plan to contend with. This will not be easy for Alexi.

08:19:10.980 --> 08:19:12.980
Jumps was so annoying as well.

08:19:12.980 --> 08:19:17.220
well. Hangs around in heart. Here's those jumps and moves in the moment they stop.

08:19:17.860 --> 08:19:23.380
There's a drop on your kinder. Doesn't make it any easier. Big pistol round from your kinder,

08:19:23.380 --> 08:19:28.020
man. That's a huge hat trick for him. Final one to shut down Alexi's clutch attempt.

08:19:28.020 --> 08:19:32.580
And so Furia, this is where you'd have to have your second win. It's been a T side dominated

08:19:32.580 --> 08:19:36.900
series. You've just got this pistol round to try and split the difference and close up this

08:19:36.900 --> 08:19:42.100
game and some really sharp shots into lobby from wonderful, but never fully cleared the door.

08:19:42.980 --> 08:19:49.620
And that push from Mikazi I think is a bit over the top because he steps as well and still commits with a flank.

08:19:50.500 --> 08:19:52.500
Furia, we're yet to move.

08:19:57.300 --> 08:20:01.860
Couple of SMGs here for Furia and what will be a broadly round, Navi decided to buy in.

08:20:07.060 --> 08:20:09.560
Kinda makes it all the way.

08:20:12.980 --> 08:20:33.580
Just a little warning shot on Alexi.

08:20:33.580 --> 08:20:36.180
Looking towards the ramp room.

08:20:36.180 --> 08:20:38.540
No push yet.

08:20:38.540 --> 08:20:42.220
For now Fury you're just biding their time waiting to see if they can kind of piece together

08:20:42.220 --> 08:20:47.420
what Navi are doing with this four-spy boosted famas on ramp is quite the

08:20:47.420 --> 08:20:53.260
commitment it might just work out here

08:20:54.780 --> 08:21:00.340
special bits trying to sell for him keep flash

08:21:00.340 --> 08:21:07.060
one of that five seven would have gone a long way wonderful dead after the

08:21:07.060 --> 08:21:15.220
first should be out of position right double ventrop but not the guns for the job here quick

08:21:15.220 --> 08:21:21.180
down the vent at least there wasn't cover on that bomb so certainly a reason to be antsy

08:21:21.180 --> 08:21:25.460
but they get it plugged in all the same escaping is very difficult you can't stop secret you

08:21:25.460 --> 08:21:35.940
have to go events they gotta try because he has position but he needs a kill nothing

08:21:35.940 --> 08:21:38.500
wrong with that give it a little look in right just while they had everyone in

08:21:38.500 --> 08:21:42.220
position but no kill off it up

08:21:43.580 --> 08:21:48.980
that's a furious stick the landing up against this force

08:21:49.860 --> 08:21:54.740
maybe you can there doesn't want to overcommit here with the one AK but that

08:21:54.740 --> 08:21:59.780
is also the one FAMAS of Navi the bomb provides a bit of covering noise as he

08:21:59.780 --> 08:22:03.220
runs in to clear this final player, but Mikazi holds strong.

08:22:03.220 --> 08:22:06.500
So AK lost.

08:22:06.500 --> 08:22:09.700
Now he gets one more eco as this game close up.

08:22:09.700 --> 08:22:29.180
Already the most competitive map in the series.

08:22:29.180 --> 08:22:47.180
Well, even though this round's meant to feel a little easier, you can't get ahead of yourselves.

08:22:47.180 --> 08:22:50.980
Know that that Famous made it out, know they saved on another as well.

08:22:50.980 --> 08:22:56.020
Still cause for concern and losing your Kindar early on the Secret Cross doesn't do much

08:22:56.020 --> 08:22:57.580
to further your confidence.

08:22:57.580 --> 08:23:00.820
At least got room over on the rampside.

08:23:00.820 --> 08:23:04.780
Syrian Moledoy working this half of the map.

08:23:04.780 --> 08:23:15.520
They forced a bit away and so have created a bit of a safe haven for Furia, at least securing

08:23:15.520 --> 08:23:16.520
them this space.

08:23:16.520 --> 08:23:17.520
It gives you options.

08:23:17.520 --> 08:23:24.680
It's very methodical, he needs to be in a 4v5.

08:23:24.680 --> 08:23:27.920
Can't get lazy now.

08:23:27.920 --> 08:23:34.640
Oh, annoying block smoke on ramp and two players here.

08:23:34.640 --> 08:23:37.640
It's a hearty crossfire.

08:23:37.640 --> 08:23:43.240
Alexey, though, he's just desperate for the information.

08:23:43.240 --> 08:23:44.240
He'll get it for free.

08:23:44.240 --> 08:23:45.240
He doesn't overstep.

08:23:45.240 --> 08:23:50.240
Alright, tries to cross out of there. Ends up fed to Foulin.

08:23:53.240 --> 08:23:58.240
There'll be a gap on this, and it's a pretty significant gap at that. Still, Maccazzi.

08:23:58.240 --> 08:24:01.240
Not able to fire through Molly there to cover the bomb plant, and...

08:24:01.240 --> 08:24:03.240
Fury yet.

08:24:03.240 --> 08:24:08.240
Despite of going a man down to open this one up, able to break on through it all the same.

08:24:08.240 --> 08:24:10.240
Side of relief here.

08:24:10.240 --> 08:24:13.240
I mean, this puts a lot of weight down on this first gum round, right?

08:24:13.240 --> 08:24:17.960
Because if you're not V, you've got to acknowledge just how close to taking this series they are.

08:24:18.800 --> 08:24:24.720
There is still a relatively easy path to close on Nuke available if you're able to find success straight away.

08:24:24.720 --> 08:24:31.360
If not though, this game is going to close up fast and it's been a T-side dominated series across the board.

08:24:32.840 --> 08:24:37.320
So if you're going to be believing that they can still course correct this, it's not too late in the day.

08:24:38.000 --> 08:24:39.600
It feels destined to get close.

08:24:39.600 --> 08:24:43.680
There's three rounds between you right now at the end of this one, but if you win that

08:24:43.680 --> 08:24:54.480
next rifle, that number is reduced down to one.

08:24:54.480 --> 08:24:56.760
Wonderful straight on the AWP as well.

08:24:56.760 --> 08:25:03.280
We still have Kalilz and an MP7 for Furia, which, while a bonus round is nice, at this

08:25:03.280 --> 08:25:06.280
At this point, you just kind of wish you had full AKs.

08:25:10.280 --> 08:25:16.280
Blade was very hands off in that first half, only relying on the Furia timeouts for when he would chime in.

08:25:16.280 --> 08:25:19.280
And with good reason, right now, he had everything under control.

08:25:19.280 --> 08:25:22.280
He's got to casher them now to fall back on, on the harder side.

08:25:22.280 --> 08:25:25.280
At least with how this matchup has gone.

08:25:27.280 --> 08:25:31.280
So anticipating that there would have been a bit more resistance left in Furia.

08:25:31.280 --> 08:25:34.560
a lot left in the tank. This is the first time he's going to weigh in heading into this

08:25:34.560 --> 08:25:36.080
rifle round for Navi.

08:25:36.080 --> 08:25:39.280
Planned for the worst, hope for the best.

08:25:39.280 --> 08:25:53.280
But certainly not out of the woods yet here in this playoff qualifying match.

08:25:53.280 --> 08:25:59.280
Both teams by Orbs.

08:25:59.280 --> 08:26:15.400
Well, all throughout that first half we saw this yard control, the smokes with it be a

08:26:15.400 --> 08:26:17.000
constant pressure point.

08:26:17.000 --> 08:26:20.760
When Navi were on their T side, they're looking to try and kind of disrupt what Fury are

08:26:20.760 --> 08:26:23.480
able to do here straight away with a cross into secret.

08:26:23.480 --> 08:26:26.480
Going to jump up, you can actually do this if the bottom player hits the jump at

08:26:26.480 --> 08:26:39.440
the right time. Getting very tall here. It's a cheeky boost. Takes me back. It's a strong

08:26:39.440 --> 08:26:45.360
position for Makazi as well. You can't volley it. Wonderful. Catching your kinder on that

08:26:45.360 --> 08:26:50.360
smoke break. Makazi ahead of the molly fighting forward onto forward. He's stuck in this

08:26:50.360 --> 08:26:56.320
corner. He's got nowhere to go, but they don't have an HE to flush him out. Yuri trying to

08:26:56.320 --> 08:27:03.080
bounce his round back. 3 on 5 ensuing. Alexi denies any further advantage in case Rato timing

08:27:03.080 --> 08:27:06.360
opens up that A-side. The bomb can't come in.

08:27:06.360 --> 08:27:11.360
I'm glad I attempt another wall bang.

08:27:17.360 --> 08:27:21.360
The only thing that could get awkward here is the 1v1s across the map, right?

08:27:21.360 --> 08:27:26.360
Bits have made noise and that's going to stop this. Molly goes in, bomb can't cross.

08:27:26.360 --> 08:27:32.360
Nate there to follow. Just to slow the roll of Moldedoy. Bits doesn't hang around either.

08:27:32.360 --> 08:27:39.080
that huge pickup there for Kaseirato securing a route for this bomb to move in, Mikazi denies

08:27:39.080 --> 08:27:45.560
time so low Kaseirato there's no winner this one just misses that bomb plot and it's very

08:27:45.560 --> 08:27:50.280
very thin margins on that round but calculated out of Navi.

08:27:50.280 --> 08:27:53.960
Oh I thought that walking away was going to be the mistake there right but he knew

08:27:53.960 --> 08:27:58.680
it was an AWP he knew he could just be gone in a flash and so walking away is what locks

08:27:58.680 --> 08:28:05.760
in the round able to come in later. Excellent cross, contain. Navi never go back to take

08:28:05.760 --> 08:28:11.800
the A site. They let Kcerato have it. Only to punish as the bomb makes it in. The whole

08:28:11.800 --> 08:28:19.960
goal of the round is to get rid of the bomb there. Very nice late round moment for Navi.

08:28:28.680 --> 08:28:30.680
I

08:28:35.880 --> 08:28:40.320
Spent all money close to breaking point for fury. This is the defining round of

08:28:41.520 --> 08:28:46.560
This second half it's off to a great start for Navi wonderfuls nailed an opener on the orb

08:28:46.560 --> 08:28:50.320
It's still here hanging around to fight this all without its risks is

08:28:50.880 --> 08:28:55.600
Fury it do set their eyes on the ramp control. They've lost your kinder out in the yard

08:28:55.600 --> 08:28:58.560
Are they ready for bit still active on the rampside?

08:28:59.840 --> 08:29:05.200
This was a three on five until moments ago. Wonderful at least keeps now V in the driver's seat

08:29:06.120 --> 08:29:08.120
Holding for a smoke push

08:29:10.000 --> 08:29:12.000
Walk it on through is K. Serato

08:29:13.440 --> 08:29:20.480
This is a nail bite of a round a lot of movement all across the map is now the inferior of traded places

08:29:20.480 --> 08:29:28.220
Where did Furia try and go? They are flying blind, but there's the spot. Mollardoy's confirmed

08:29:28.220 --> 08:29:35.200
it. Both players seen. Both players spotted. Oh no! Leaves it to a gunfight. Finally connects

08:29:35.200 --> 08:29:40.680
and Furia are able to turn that one around. 3v5. They lose the first two fights. They

08:29:40.680 --> 08:29:47.600
go on to keep the dream of turning it around on Nuke very much alive. Oh, he had so much

08:29:47.600 --> 08:29:54.740
control and so much info and still Furia with all the risk in the world walking

08:29:54.740 --> 08:30:02.320
smokes and walking hell. Navi knew exactly where they were but even despite

08:30:02.320 --> 08:30:08.540
missed shots from Molodoy just given so many chances to get away with it.

08:30:08.540 --> 08:30:12.380
Do you see frustration there for Wonderful? He knows that that round would

08:30:12.380 --> 08:30:17.380
to want them the series, the broken furious money.

08:30:17.580 --> 08:30:20.460
And not only that, he had two sick kills.

08:30:20.460 --> 08:30:22.660
He opens the round with the initial five before

08:30:22.660 --> 08:30:25.180
he gets that important, not even equalizer,

08:30:25.180 --> 08:30:27.060
he gets that important trade in the three on three

08:30:27.060 --> 08:30:28.140
to maintain the advantage.

08:30:28.140 --> 08:30:30.540
And he anticipated that the case

08:30:30.540 --> 08:30:31.820
Serato walked through the smoke.

08:30:31.820 --> 08:30:33.140
He knew what was coming.

08:30:33.140 --> 08:30:35.860
There's a lot of reasons for him to feel kind of robbed

08:30:35.860 --> 08:30:37.500
at the end of that one there.

08:30:37.500 --> 08:30:38.860
It's kept the series going.

08:30:38.860 --> 08:30:41.180
It's kept the hopes of Furia alive.

08:30:41.180 --> 08:30:46.180
Down with three round difference and money broken for Navi.

08:30:50.180 --> 08:30:52.180
Speed vehicle there gets him down the vent.

08:30:53.180 --> 08:30:55.180
Not without risk.

08:30:56.180 --> 08:31:00.180
And certainly with info, Navi looking hyper aware.

08:31:01.180 --> 08:31:04.180
It can turn off angle easily done.

08:31:05.180 --> 08:31:08.180
Now they just flood out ramp as well. There's nobody home.

08:31:08.180 --> 08:31:20.180
open position with bit dead they know they've got the room so that is round

08:31:20.500 --> 08:31:25.300
not gonna get many easier than that

08:31:28.580 --> 08:31:32.180
probably one of those moments where you kind of starts around by saying guys I

08:31:32.180 --> 08:31:34.660
I know exactly what to do.

08:31:34.660 --> 08:31:38.740
And his solo move sets Furia up for a simple round win.

08:31:38.740 --> 08:31:41.860
Anteco dealt with eight on the ball for Furia.

08:31:48.100 --> 08:31:52.220
Wouldn't be surprised if we get another timeout coming up for Navi.

08:31:52.220 --> 08:31:54.180
They've got to cash in them to pull back on,

08:31:54.180 --> 08:31:56.780
and this game is really tightening up.

08:31:56.780 --> 08:32:01.100
Wasn't Ema 10 and 2 at one point?

08:32:01.100 --> 08:32:04.100
He was playing insane, yeah, a massive slowdown.

08:32:06.540 --> 08:32:09.260
Not even a slowdown, he's come to a halt.

08:32:09.260 --> 08:32:11.780
He had to get a kill, since that point.

08:32:16.400 --> 08:32:18.080
We said it was a series without comebacks,

08:32:18.080 --> 08:32:20.820
while Furia are trying to buck that trend indeed.

08:32:22.320 --> 08:32:26.800
Call the timeout correctly played, taking a breather.

08:32:26.800 --> 08:32:39.700
I mean, here's the thing like with the thought of getting to be back in the stage in Rio on

08:32:39.700 --> 08:32:44.520
their minds. Hope can build very, very quickly for Furia. I don't think they were ever without

08:32:44.520 --> 08:32:49.520
it, even with the three measly rounds they were able to get in that first half. But now

08:32:49.520 --> 08:32:53.120
they feel like they are in the driver's seat. They're on a big streak right now

08:32:53.120 --> 08:32:57.160
on this T side they've been able to stop Na'Vi short of streaking anything

08:32:57.160 --> 08:33:00.560
together even in rounds that look like it was getting away from them they're

08:33:00.560 --> 08:33:06.800
pulling through and so we had that timeout played with the chance to speak

08:33:06.800 --> 08:33:16.000
to the rest of Na'Vi ahead of their next swing to stop this Furia comeback

08:33:16.000 --> 08:33:24.080
This was a 9 3 half.

08:33:24.080 --> 08:33:27.000
Life comes at you quick.

08:33:27.000 --> 08:33:32.000
Volodoy, maybe even quicker.

08:33:32.000 --> 08:33:33.000
Wonderful.

08:33:33.000 --> 08:33:34.000
Can't get out of here for free.

08:33:34.000 --> 08:33:35.000
Good jiggle.

08:33:35.000 --> 08:33:36.000
Bates a shot out.

08:33:36.000 --> 08:33:41.400
In that downtime, your kingdom crosses.

08:33:41.400 --> 08:33:43.560
And numbers not known here for Narvi.

08:33:43.560 --> 08:33:46.840
They have no idea what's going on outside. Those smokes never stopped

08:33:48.560 --> 08:33:51.800
All they know fury could be fully down secret right now

08:33:52.560 --> 08:33:56.360
But not V can't afford to do anything about it. You can't even backs up

08:33:58.200 --> 08:34:03.920
Because you know really strong position to stop this mainsplit and it does look like fury are teeing up an APOP they can get

08:34:03.920 --> 08:34:05.920
Tram if they want

08:34:07.400 --> 08:34:09.400
Time to sound the alarm

08:34:09.400 --> 08:34:12.120
Oh, that's an important double from Ima.

08:34:12.120 --> 08:34:14.920
Bomber his feet as he stops the A side rush.

08:34:14.920 --> 08:34:16.120
Oh, no.

08:34:16.120 --> 08:34:20.120
I'm sure he's ready for the backstop.

08:34:20.120 --> 08:34:23.400
Can't close on Kcerato, it takes Ima to do it.

08:34:23.400 --> 08:34:29.000
Had a bout of silence after his strong start.

08:34:29.000 --> 08:34:31.200
But now, I'm having to play the hero again.

08:34:31.200 --> 08:34:34.120
He's cut down by Ikindar.

08:34:34.120 --> 08:34:37.600
Bit left in this one all alone, gets the spot.

08:34:37.600 --> 08:34:41.120
The Yukinda are still floating around, man. There's very little time left.

08:34:41.840 --> 08:34:46.240
It's got both players bearing down upon him, but nestled in at the back of the bomb site.

08:34:46.960 --> 08:34:49.600
Bits go to back his aim. 15 seconds.

08:34:49.600 --> 08:34:52.800
Furia have nowhere left to turn. They've got to bring the fight to him.

08:34:52.800 --> 08:34:54.560
Bitt delivers the first.

08:34:54.560 --> 08:34:59.440
Can't follow up. A tense round, and that's what these last couple have been.

08:34:59.440 --> 08:35:03.200
But Furia are picking them all up. It's a one-round game now.

08:35:03.200 --> 08:35:09.200
It's all your kinder. It felt like it was the master bait from your kinder. He gets stuck outside

08:35:09.340 --> 08:35:14.440
He misses that timing completely his team get massacred on that topside by Ema

08:35:14.580 --> 08:35:21.220
Even case or other barely ready for that main smoke push that you kinder saw and he comes in tells his team to wait

08:35:21.380 --> 08:35:25.180
sits in the fade and comes up with two and the clutch to boot

08:35:26.240 --> 08:35:29.780
Absolute saving grace from your kinder deep in the game

08:35:29.780 --> 08:35:37.100
And that would have been a head of hands moment if he didn't win it, but instead fury are on nipping at

08:35:37.260 --> 08:35:42.740
Navi's heels. You're even just hearing it in the team comms. You know, it's no longer that laser focus. They're getting loud

08:35:42.740 --> 08:35:47.540
They're getting animated. They can feel the old vision. They've wound up in a

08:35:48.060 --> 08:35:52.100
Set of kills come through to open this one up for now. They are very unlikely round

08:35:52.100 --> 08:35:56.660
So the pressure is right back on no time to celebrate for fury. Yeah, it's a three on four

08:35:59.780 --> 08:36:04.540
Now they've been able to dig themselves out of these holes many a time in this second half

08:36:06.540 --> 08:36:12.040
But just how many times can you do that? Macaasie's grabbed the M4

08:36:18.180 --> 08:36:20.180
Well, no

08:36:20.700 --> 08:36:27.600
Forward and you know that whenever Fallon does get his hands on this AWP. He likes to give you something that something to look at

08:36:29.780 --> 08:36:36.620
Drops it back. He knows their low economy. He knows they're playing pistols. So just gonna group and play the pack with rifles now

08:36:36.620 --> 08:36:38.300
Fury it can go down secret

08:36:38.300 --> 08:36:40.300
Yuri still hanging around outside

08:36:40.500 --> 08:36:47.980
They flash him into main all Na'Vi waiting in this topside. It's been a game decided on a we've seen very few b-hits

08:36:48.700 --> 08:36:52.660
Yuri's faking this one out right now keeping Na'Vi attuned to this position

08:36:52.660 --> 08:36:57.260
And he might even find more value the bot me while shifting its way into that lower site

08:36:57.260 --> 08:37:03.180
and Yuri is just killing everyone from a 3v5 on an anti-eco around that never

08:37:03.180 --> 08:37:07.220
should have gotten close and Furia might just save themselves. Bit has a tricky

08:37:07.220 --> 08:37:13.180
decision. Do I want to save the orb or go for it with no kit? This is a

08:37:13.180 --> 08:37:17.900
wild manoeuvre bit looking to go for this round very little time because he

08:37:17.900 --> 08:37:21.500
doesn't have that kit to work with so got to be light on his feet here gets

08:37:21.500 --> 08:37:26.000
past the player in vent but he's allowed the entire way. Going to go hunting

08:37:26.000 --> 08:37:29.760
for the man in the site itself. Back turn to the rafters.

08:37:29.760 --> 08:37:33.760
Gone on in time, Bit. Down to this.

08:37:33.760 --> 08:37:36.640
Through caution of the wind as he embarked on this clutch

08:37:36.640 --> 08:37:40.280
and cut down and just shy of it.

08:37:40.280 --> 08:37:45.120
Furia keep winning these all important clutch moments.

08:37:45.120 --> 08:37:47.880
And they've done so all the way to level the playing

08:37:47.880 --> 08:37:49.360
field, 10 apiece.

08:37:49.360 --> 08:37:51.440
Disadvantage after disadvantage.

08:37:51.440 --> 08:37:55.240
That's the second 3v5 in the half here for Furia.

08:37:55.240 --> 08:37:58.680
And that's what's, you know, it's gonna be, gonna be talked about.

08:37:58.680 --> 08:38:03.360
Now, if you've had many an opportunity, it's felt like to, to deal the killing blow

08:38:05.360 --> 08:38:09.960
from that wonderful all-proud over-the-warts ramp.

08:38:09.960 --> 08:38:12.360
That was the, the first of the five on threes.

08:38:13.800 --> 08:38:17.640
Even here in these low economy rounds, in the ones where Bitt says,

08:38:17.640 --> 08:38:20.600
fine, I'll do it myself, he's on a heater, he's feeling good.

08:38:23.000 --> 08:38:24.800
And while they still had to lead to play with,

08:38:24.800 --> 08:38:29.800
Those are the types of risks you can take, but now it's a tie game, 10-all.

08:38:32.400 --> 08:38:36.400
Oh, Blade holding his timeouts for the second half seems to have been the right call,

08:38:36.400 --> 08:38:39.200
but they've yet to convert into round here for Na'Vi.

08:38:39.200 --> 08:38:42.400
It's come down to these clutches from Furia, pulling them out.

08:38:44.200 --> 08:38:45.800
Last second saves.

08:38:48.400 --> 08:38:51.700
Furia smokes, blocked outside. There might be a bit of a problem.

08:38:51.700 --> 08:38:53.700
It might be info for Na'Vi on the cross.

08:38:53.700 --> 08:38:57.700
Something they haven't really had. This information, how many players have made it down?

08:38:57.700 --> 08:39:02.200
Mikazi, he's started really strong but he's gotten a bit quiet on this CT side.

08:39:02.200 --> 08:39:08.200
Good cover from Wonderful. Mikazi running away and this A-side just ruptured. Furia running down.

08:39:08.200 --> 08:39:11.700
Wonderful's job's not done though, providing cover from Heaven.

08:39:11.700 --> 08:39:16.200
Mikazi, he didn't get that spot, still gets the kill.

08:39:16.200 --> 08:39:19.700
And he bought a bunch of unlikely ones but this one is too far gone

08:39:19.700 --> 08:39:22.700
and Na'Vi claps down upon that A hit.

08:39:22.700 --> 08:39:28.620
full chaos. Full confusion. But if there's one thing I think Navi have had really really

08:39:28.620 --> 08:39:33.420
strong in these couple games we've seen them as great comms, great cohesion together. So

08:39:33.420 --> 08:39:37.660
coming back up the vent, choosing to brawl, everybody in the site pushing through the

08:39:37.660 --> 08:39:45.820
util. Navi stabilize much needed round after this streak of four in a row for Furia.

08:39:45.820 --> 08:39:48.860
Here's the one I think really important detail that we talk about how

08:39:48.860 --> 08:39:51.420
And the Furia kept winning these tense clutches, right?

08:39:51.420 --> 08:39:54.180
The rounds that could have just cost you the entire series,

08:39:54.180 --> 08:39:55.820
you just barely scrape and buy,

08:39:55.820 --> 08:39:57.500
but it was impressive they were winning them.

08:39:57.500 --> 08:40:00.500
That has left them in a very vulnerable position.

08:40:02.020 --> 08:40:04.820
You had two rounds back to back with one player surviving.

08:40:05.980 --> 08:40:08.300
And Money was not in a good spot for Furia.

08:40:09.340 --> 08:40:11.220
And so they've got a weak buy here

08:40:11.220 --> 08:40:13.940
to try and reignite the streak.

08:40:13.940 --> 08:40:16.020
It's an all in, out towards the top site,

08:40:16.020 --> 08:40:17.900
and this time they get chewed up.

08:40:18.860 --> 08:40:27.160
to see fury feel like they have no other option after a meticulous and methodical T side back

08:40:27.160 --> 08:40:33.760
to back quick top hits feeling like they had to with tech nines and that might be all it

08:40:33.760 --> 08:40:38.920
takes to get Navi into the playoffs two chances to knock out fury and push them into the

08:40:38.920 --> 08:40:45.640
lower bracket and fury have nothing to play with not a single primary weapon.

08:40:45.640 --> 08:40:50.700
You're just gonna be telling yourselves now, it doesn't get easier than this, you know,

08:40:50.700 --> 08:40:59.260
you've done the run-up, you've done the tricky bit, now you've just got to finish the job.

08:40:59.260 --> 08:41:02.940
In what is on paper, the easiest round you've had in a very long time.

08:41:02.940 --> 08:41:08.340
Again, they block the smoke and again, Fury, can't cross clean.

08:41:08.340 --> 08:41:11.560
These aren't exactly the guns to be fighting behind the gap either.

08:41:11.560 --> 08:41:12.560
They might not have a choice.

08:41:12.560 --> 08:41:14.560
Ema waits for them to come down the vent.

08:41:14.560 --> 08:41:15.560
Oh, dear.

08:41:15.560 --> 08:41:19.560
Back turned, re-smoke, and they go down, but they follow him as well.

08:41:19.560 --> 08:41:21.560
Pretty good timing on this.

08:41:21.560 --> 08:41:23.560
Ema caught out in the open.

08:41:23.560 --> 08:41:24.560
There's the backstab.

08:41:24.560 --> 08:41:28.560
Advantage for Furia, but rotations already arriving.

08:41:28.560 --> 08:41:29.560
Wonderful.

08:41:29.560 --> 08:41:30.560
Ambit play in tandem.

08:41:30.560 --> 08:41:32.560
Mishop from the wonderful open.

08:41:32.560 --> 08:41:35.560
In the blink of an eye, he's the last man remaining.

08:41:35.560 --> 08:41:36.560
These tech nines hit hard.

08:41:36.560 --> 08:41:38.560
Furia.

08:41:38.560 --> 08:41:40.560
Still in with a chance.

08:41:40.560 --> 08:41:46.760
Need to save and don't want to give the orp over. That's the bigger problem if you give Molotov his weapon of choice

08:41:46.760 --> 08:41:48.560
He can't get it any other way

08:41:48.560 --> 08:41:50.560
So wonderful has to avoid that

08:41:51.280 --> 08:41:55.280
It seems like he has that is a shocking round to win off tech 9s though

08:41:56.040 --> 08:42:00.280
Furia just live and die by the chaos in these last three rounds of T side. I

08:42:01.800 --> 08:42:05.760
Don't even know where that second kill came from from the tech 9 right they trade on to Ema

08:42:05.760 --> 08:42:07.600
But there was another kill towards events

08:42:07.600 --> 08:42:14.080
Did Navi try and shift down without realizing Ema had also made a without realizing that fury had also made it

08:42:18.280 --> 08:42:24.640
Flying blind in that round a furious survive you called it the easiest chance. Well, how about the harder one now?

08:42:37.600 --> 08:42:44.320
You think as well, it's one of the things you gotta love about a kind of grizzled veteran

08:42:44.320 --> 08:42:45.320
like Fallen.

08:42:45.320 --> 08:42:51.580
It would have been so easy there to risk it all on some type of top here.

08:42:51.580 --> 08:42:56.600
They'd already tried a bunch of those rounds, something special required and it's the

08:42:56.600 --> 08:43:00.400
fast play out in the yard, the vent sneak as well.

08:43:00.400 --> 08:43:04.700
There's a lot of risks taking it around like that, but just belief in the call and

08:43:04.700 --> 08:43:09.860
all shaping up it's kept them in this now a chance at overtime will miss you

08:43:09.860 --> 08:43:13.640
tell him at the top site but it's rampant step real object of the desire

08:43:13.640 --> 08:43:17.980
here for furia they won't ever commit this time it's been a couple of chances

08:43:17.980 --> 08:43:21.500
to back off this time they'll take it

08:43:21.500 --> 08:43:30.180
opted to hang around one too many wonderful backed up and looking to

08:43:30.180 --> 08:43:32.180
to repush this.

08:43:35.180 --> 08:43:37.180
Both spotted.

08:43:42.180 --> 08:43:44.180
You have got a reaction out of Na'Vi.

08:43:44.180 --> 08:43:46.180
You've got them more than paranoid about ramp.

08:43:46.180 --> 08:43:48.180
They have the supplement lower.

08:43:48.180 --> 08:43:49.180
There's no choice in them.

08:43:49.180 --> 08:43:51.180
A ramp's been dark for so long.

08:43:51.180 --> 08:43:53.180
It's two players put down in that lower site,

08:43:53.180 --> 08:43:56.180
and this is Wild Fury, and now moved back.

08:43:56.180 --> 08:43:59.180
Oh, wow, is he with a crazy flick.

08:43:59.180 --> 08:44:02.020
doesn't get punished by the close-round player either.

08:44:02.020 --> 08:44:03.520
Dacia's pushed from him.

08:44:08.320 --> 08:44:10.040
So even though it might have ended Fury's mind

08:44:10.040 --> 08:44:12.400
to try and get tricky with this to go back into the lobby,

08:44:12.400 --> 08:44:15.040
this one does end in at lower.

08:44:15.040 --> 08:44:18.200
And two players here for Navi, very little time left.

08:44:18.200 --> 08:44:21.320
The kills have got to come through cleanly and quickly.

08:44:21.320 --> 08:44:22.280
And it just left the side.

08:44:22.280 --> 08:44:23.120
Now there's no one here.

08:44:23.120 --> 08:44:25.440
Bit doesn't even get a kill from that position.

08:44:25.440 --> 08:44:28.240
And with 15 seconds, Fury have put the bomb down

08:44:28.240 --> 08:44:32.880
put themselves in a position to take overtime. All four down the vent.

08:44:32.880 --> 08:44:35.440
Kcerato in the clutch. That's what Furia wants.

08:44:35.440 --> 08:44:38.880
Yeah, good chunk of time to get comfortable as well in these post plans.

08:44:39.760 --> 08:44:43.760
That's a crossfire is now set up. This is a tricky task in front of Navi.

08:44:44.320 --> 08:44:48.640
They do want to stop this one from going to extra time. Alexi leads the charge.

08:44:49.280 --> 08:44:53.520
Wonderful. Out through the single door, but time is quickly getting away from you here.

08:44:53.520 --> 08:44:56.560
Kcerato, you said he's the guy you want in these clutches.

08:44:56.560 --> 08:44:59.120
will able to play it late out from the rampside.

08:44:59.120 --> 08:45:01.920
Furia drags this one into overtime.

08:45:01.920 --> 08:45:04.520
Of course, it's fallen in case Arato all five

08:45:04.520 --> 08:45:08.560
between the two grizzled veterans of Brazilian Counter-Strike

08:45:08.560 --> 08:45:10.040
looking to keep this series alive.

08:45:10.040 --> 08:45:13.320
We had back-to-back stops in those first two maps,

08:45:13.320 --> 08:45:16.840
and here on you we go the distance into extra time.

08:45:20.400 --> 08:45:22.640
Unreal, the Furia win.

08:45:22.640 --> 08:45:25.680
Some of these late rounds, this was 12-10,

08:45:25.680 --> 08:45:28.360
and Fury had tech knives, not only did they survive,

08:45:28.360 --> 08:45:31.720
that one seemed even harder with 20 seconds on the clock.

08:45:34.200 --> 08:45:36.200
And Fury had just refused to give up.

08:45:37.600 --> 08:45:40.400
Every right to, but now they lead.

08:45:45.120 --> 08:45:49.280
Oh, Vent has just been the danger zone in this game.

08:45:49.840 --> 08:45:53.520
Just kind of the no man's land of the map.

08:45:53.520 --> 08:45:57.200
No one's truly been able to hold on to the game, Seranto!

08:45:57.200 --> 08:46:01.240
That's twice for Alexi, he's just tried to follow them down the vent with full info.

08:46:02.240 --> 08:46:04.680
Get him out, Fallen is hitting hard.

08:46:05.360 --> 08:46:09.680
Three kills in round 24 and just a blind out B.

08:46:14.280 --> 08:46:19.560
And even as Ima found a resurgence, a couple of other players went quiet for Nar-V.

08:46:23.520 --> 08:46:33.000
They're coming for this.

08:46:33.000 --> 08:46:41.720
Not today, McCarthy.

08:46:41.720 --> 08:46:43.720
Is that the playtimeout?

08:46:43.720 --> 08:46:51.640
There's kind of no illusion about how tricky a position Navi you're in.

08:46:51.640 --> 08:46:56.440
T sides have been troublesome for both of these squads. But right now, you know, we said coming into this third map

08:46:56.440 --> 08:47:02.800
It's been a series of momentum. Furia have all of it. You know, they they've been the team to claw this one back in

08:47:02.800 --> 08:47:06.280
Overtime. They're the guys who managed to secure nine rounds on the T side

08:47:06.280 --> 08:47:09.320
They're the ones still getting a play on this T side the better half

08:47:09.320 --> 08:47:14.200
I think the goal for for Navi is just you can't let them go flawless

08:47:14.600 --> 08:47:19.320
You can't let the strong T side streaks keep up here into the overtime

08:47:19.320 --> 08:47:22.800
You need that that one illustrious CT side round

08:47:23.880 --> 08:47:25.880
Because if you don't get it

08:47:25.960 --> 08:47:30.600
Even though you prefer these tea halves going back onto it and knowing that you've got to match that energy

08:47:30.600 --> 08:47:35.840
You've got to answer with three of your own while full it has all this room to call from the front which

08:47:36.400 --> 08:47:42.440
Is where he could just be an absolute menace to deal with he's not afraid to risk the game on some crazy moves

08:47:42.440 --> 08:47:50.920
potential very rough position ahead of Navi and from bad to worse they've just

08:47:50.920 --> 08:47:57.280
got a man down on the back of that timeout. The kill has just been the blunt object as

08:47:57.280 --> 08:48:04.440
always outside back to back opening kills in the yard and onto mccasey no less who

08:48:04.440 --> 08:48:11.560
is Navi's top performer in this game. It can not done, a bit might make it so nice

08:48:11.560 --> 08:48:20.500
position, rarely checked, swings out and finds that equalizing frag, re-smokes outside.

08:48:20.500 --> 08:48:25.540
Patience with Molodoy, and Alexi all the same.

08:48:25.540 --> 08:48:31.580
That's a fairly important kill from Wandaful, but equally so for Molodoy as the Orps now

08:48:31.580 --> 08:48:33.740
get involved.

08:48:33.740 --> 08:48:38.580
Scooped up for a Heaven re-swing and with main dead, next point of contact is through

08:48:38.580 --> 08:48:40.820
the Heavens or up the vent.

08:48:40.820 --> 08:48:45.460
of them accounted for both of them being watched there's no road left to run here for Navi they're

08:48:45.460 --> 08:48:48.580
locked out of the top site.

08:48:58.580 --> 08:49:04.820
Navi don't want to save but if you're giving them nothing clock ticking quick

08:49:04.820 --> 08:49:09.540
Fallen burns out and they can't even find that kill the cover is perfect Moledoy hits his

08:49:09.540 --> 08:49:14.500
and wonderful just needs out all for later that one illustrious round will have to come in the third

08:49:15.060 --> 08:49:20.740
as furia look for their own flawless half and if you're furia now you're licking your lips man the

08:49:20.740 --> 08:49:25.460
idea that you could go flawless the idea even you know seeing them go for that two on three that

08:49:25.460 --> 08:49:30.820
late it just reeks of desperation the idea that they're fast running out of time to course correct

08:49:30.820 --> 08:49:37.540
you know you have them feeling the pressure that round really did confirm it what an impressive

08:49:37.540 --> 08:49:42.420
display of resilience for Furia when we've seen just how stompy these games have been and this just

08:49:42.420 --> 08:49:47.620
felt like another one of the same 9-3. Navi haven't even used the timeout, they've got full control,

08:49:47.620 --> 08:49:52.820
they've got Makazi popping off, Ima with a really strong first half and then Furia dig deep and

08:49:52.820 --> 08:49:58.980
they dig deep again and again multiple 3v5s winning on tech nines at 12-10 against them

08:49:58.980 --> 08:50:05.620
and now looking to clean up in overtime. Navi clinging on

08:50:07.540 --> 08:50:15.180
A zero around half will not suffice.

08:50:15.180 --> 08:50:29.460
Alright, at least it's not a transfer but it doesn't get much better than that.

08:50:29.460 --> 08:50:36.140
It's a three for one trade and a nice kushy 4v2 rolled out in front of Furia.

08:50:36.140 --> 08:50:39.500
two kills away from a flawless T side in overtime.

08:50:42.260 --> 08:50:42.860
Oops.

08:50:44.460 --> 08:50:49.020
I mean, fallen 18 and 18 numbers don't always add up on every player here.

08:50:49.020 --> 08:50:51.420
But Fallon's had some unreal impact.

08:50:51.420 --> 08:50:52.460
You can do that as well.

08:50:54.620 --> 08:50:55.580
One back for beer.

08:50:55.660 --> 08:50:57.900
Got to try this shot from olidoy.

08:50:59.340 --> 08:51:01.060
Need another to come through and it won't.

08:51:01.060 --> 08:51:02.660
They get trapped in at the door.

08:51:02.660 --> 08:51:11.740
floorless T side leveled against Na'Vi at streak of five in a row for Furia as

08:51:11.740 --> 08:51:16.320
they try and beeline for those playoffs.

08:51:16.480 --> 08:51:20.780
12 out of the last 15.

08:51:22.220 --> 08:51:27.760
I mean you know this was and this is at a time where there have been some you

08:51:27.760 --> 08:51:32.080
know doubts cast on Furia that they have had some rougher performances at

08:51:32.080 --> 08:51:35.080
Now V have kind of moved into that second spot.

08:51:39.080 --> 08:51:42.080
What I'm calling a set-around, trying to pull something out to close this game.

08:51:42.080 --> 08:51:47.080
This was always the fear, right? You give them that flawless T-side, they got the wind in their sails, and now they have room to maneuver.

08:51:47.080 --> 08:51:55.080
They can take risks, your kinder knows that better than most, plays it in a very outlandish position up on top of the garage.

08:51:55.080 --> 08:52:01.080
This is not a spot he would have played if they didn't secure all the T-side rounds. Now you've got breathing room.

08:52:01.080 --> 08:52:04.680
Flash the team up. Oh, second one from Navi catches him.

08:52:04.680 --> 08:52:06.440
And did they see him? It doesn't look like it.

08:52:06.440 --> 08:52:08.760
No prioritization on this position.

08:52:08.760 --> 08:52:11.480
You're kidding. It's a second chance to strike from above.

08:52:11.480 --> 08:52:13.080
Miss shots, and he drops off.

08:52:13.080 --> 08:52:15.960
Navi just can't flush him out.

08:52:15.960 --> 08:52:17.320
Oh, I'm going to catch him.

08:52:17.320 --> 08:52:19.640
That nade hits.

08:52:19.640 --> 08:52:22.240
Alexi's found, but it's still the advantage for Navi.

08:52:22.240 --> 08:52:22.840
Up along.

08:52:22.840 --> 08:52:25.320
Nuri's wrestled it back.

08:52:25.320 --> 08:52:26.680
And Navi has split up here.

08:52:26.680 --> 08:52:27.840
Two players out in the yard.

08:52:27.840 --> 08:52:29.000
One guy back in the lobby.

08:52:29.000 --> 08:52:30.480
You're going to start making some concessions

08:52:30.480 --> 08:52:36.200
You look to group, you can't hold on to all this space, you don't have the manpower.

08:52:36.200 --> 08:52:39.400
So Bomb goes back towards the lobby.

08:52:39.400 --> 08:52:48.080
Fury is still lean into a heavier setup down on Lower.

08:52:48.080 --> 08:52:57.600
It's Molotoway alone responsible both for the yard and that top site.

08:52:57.600 --> 08:53:06.060
for playoffs. Young man with a big job. 20 seconds. Navi sneak under his scope. They are

08:53:06.060 --> 08:53:11.000
in the site. Wonderful. With his own or not trained or missed. The heaven molly burns.

08:53:11.000 --> 08:53:17.160
Navi get the info and they get the plant. Odoy awaits his teammates, kits, but no smoke.

08:53:17.160 --> 08:53:25.480
Furia must win all three of these fights. Trapping Navi in now. But wonderful halts

08:53:25.480 --> 08:53:32.720
the line. Double orb. It's the student and the master side by side. It's just a lot of

08:53:32.720 --> 08:53:40.120
time has ticked off this bomb. And an expensive investment doesn't feel worth the risk for

08:53:40.120 --> 08:53:46.260
Furia. Go rounds to play with. They can afford to give one over. Navi make the right read,

08:53:46.260 --> 08:53:52.920
the right move into that topside and they avoid the stack down lower. Perfect move

08:53:52.920 --> 08:53:57.720
To keep them in the conversation, Molotov dies to the bomb, not the end of the world.

08:53:57.720 --> 08:53:59.720
One orb kept for Edith's team.

08:54:09.420 --> 08:54:12.120
Around that felt like it could have been one outside, to be perfectly honest.

08:54:12.120 --> 08:54:13.820
I think that was Furious's intention, right?

08:54:13.820 --> 08:54:15.220
Win it off of the yard fight.

08:54:15.220 --> 08:54:17.220
Yikinder on top, orb there as well.

08:54:17.220 --> 08:54:18.920
Three players fighting yard,

08:54:19.820 --> 08:54:22.420
missed shots for Yikinder and he gets chased down by Bit.

08:54:22.420 --> 08:54:27.380
That gives Navi the room to excel in the mid-round those quiet 3v3's

08:54:28.420 --> 08:54:32.380
When they put their brain to the test, Navi make the right move

08:54:33.780 --> 08:54:36.260
We have a timeout, but I think this you know

08:54:36.460 --> 08:54:41.640
I'm hoping this is why it's telling that the kind of flawless half is such a problem because sure

08:54:41.980 --> 08:54:43.340
Furia 4 go that one

08:54:43.340 --> 08:54:49.020
But as you said that they have the room to maneuver and they're still going to have that same breathing room in this round

08:54:49.020 --> 08:54:51.020
You can still take a risk here

08:54:52.420 --> 08:54:58.820
That's what you've got to contend with, right? Just the mind of Fallen trying to figure out

08:54:58.820 --> 08:55:01.320
ways to just steal this one off here.

08:55:01.320 --> 08:55:05.580
The passive yard round, Fallen throws HE on top of the AC unit, so someone's going to

08:55:05.580 --> 08:55:10.860
go back to break Smoke's late. Furia, play for that topside instead. Double up again.

08:55:10.860 --> 08:55:18.540
They are fine with conceding yard. It is the opposite of the previous round.

08:55:18.540 --> 08:55:26.840
Fallen takes his oblover. See many a highlight from him down here.

08:55:26.840 --> 08:55:33.660
It's just kind of a loud fury that... stack all their eggs in one basket, essentially.

08:55:33.660 --> 08:55:39.020
You can play a heavy yard presence ready to deny a spillover. And what that means is

08:55:39.020 --> 08:55:43.020
if Navi do anything to do with the yard, you've got them right where they want them.

08:55:48.540 --> 08:55:52.540
Because he will never get given this kill. He has to go seek it

08:55:58.020 --> 08:56:01.300
He's out here running this interference over towards secret

08:56:01.860 --> 08:56:06.340
Arrest of Navi wait back in the lobby waiting for bit to move in at main Molotoy

08:56:06.820 --> 08:56:09.700
Catches him and even survives that crossing into the back of the site

08:56:10.180 --> 08:56:15.340
Alexi with an important trade, but very very quickly. This is started to slip through Navi's fingers

08:56:15.340 --> 08:56:22.740
2 on 4, wonderful. It's a blinder. Alexi with a follow-up. This was a 2v5 and they're turning it around.

08:56:22.740 --> 08:56:25.340
Alexi B and wonderful. Combine.

08:56:29.340 --> 08:56:32.340
Rotate up the vent. Fallen makes it in.

08:56:33.340 --> 08:56:38.340
But this one felt like a golden opportunity for Fury to move into those playoffs.

08:56:38.340 --> 08:56:41.340
Fallen will have to provide nails that first on the AWP.

08:56:45.340 --> 08:56:50.140
Now left-looking, can Alexi hang? Can Alexi really do this?

08:56:51.980 --> 08:56:53.260
It's on a knife's edge.

08:56:53.900 --> 08:56:59.100
Yuri closes in, time working against him, got to move quickly, and he's done it.

08:56:59.660 --> 08:57:05.660
Deepthru's in, Furia get it done, they claw this one back, it goes the distance.

08:57:05.660 --> 08:57:12.860
In a dominant series, Furia show resilience and they lock in a playoff appearance in front

08:57:12.860 --> 08:57:14.140
of the home crowd.

08:57:14.140 --> 08:57:21.460
Furia to the FAMASI Arena here, Rio de Janeiro fallen 34 years old, still putting on chart,

08:57:21.460 --> 08:57:24.620
topping performances and leading his team to victory.

08:57:24.620 --> 08:57:29.900
It's the Brazilians who showed up massively in this map here for Furia to finish it.

08:57:29.900 --> 08:57:34.700
9-3 down, they show resilience, they pull it all the way back and they take down Narvi

08:57:34.700 --> 08:57:39.340
on a hot streak as well after back-to-back grand finals to make it to the playoffs.

08:57:39.340 --> 08:57:43.660
It's a rough loss for Narvi but more chances down in that lower bracket

08:57:43.660 --> 08:57:50.700
for Furia, Elation, Relief and Resilience shown once again. Can't wait to see this team in the playoffs.

08:57:50.700 --> 08:57:56.860
Yeah, I mean for these guys it's always kind of the big goal, you know. There's two big achievements

08:57:56.860 --> 08:58:01.660
I think when you look at the Brazilian CS players in particular, they don't want to win majors

08:58:01.660 --> 08:58:05.500
obviously but the other thing is they want to try and play in front of their home crowd,

08:58:05.500 --> 08:58:10.780
they want to try and play in front of the countrymen and that is now locked in for this Furia

08:58:10.780 --> 08:58:14.060
squad and what's not to love about it. You've got full and the professor, the

08:58:14.060 --> 08:58:17.620
grandfather of Brazilian counter strike. You got Kcerato and Yuri, the fangs of

08:58:17.620 --> 08:58:23.140
Furio. We're seeing now in the arena and after toppling Narvi, kind of the other

08:58:23.140 --> 08:58:28.860
guys chasing their tail. That is a huge step in the right direction. Can't

08:58:28.860 --> 08:58:32.600
wait to see Furio in the playoffs. Molodoy got his first chance in an

08:58:32.600 --> 08:58:36.940
Astana arena in his first event with Furio. Well now he's going to see what

08:58:36.940 --> 08:58:39.440
the Brazilian crowd looks like in Rio.

08:58:41.940 --> 08:58:44.580
I'm here with Molder, obviously huge game.

08:58:44.580 --> 08:58:46.440
This was probably game of the tournament so far.

08:58:46.440 --> 08:58:47.880
What are you feeling?

08:58:47.880 --> 08:58:49.280
This was extreme back and forth.

08:58:49.280 --> 08:58:51.040
Come back on the third map as well.

08:58:51.040 --> 08:58:51.960
It's a very hard game.

08:58:51.960 --> 08:58:52.920
I thought it would be for game.

08:58:52.920 --> 08:58:54.680
It's a very hard game against the time.

08:58:54.680 --> 08:58:56.320
They play very well, but we are come back

08:58:56.320 --> 08:58:58.840
and decide for a play-over.

08:58:58.840 --> 08:59:01.560
They're playing very well and we are back.

08:59:01.560 --> 08:59:03.600
You exactly said that before the game as well.

08:59:03.600 --> 08:59:06.680
It will be just a really huge task for you

08:59:06.680 --> 08:59:11.240
to overcome Na'Vi, but I have in mind a specific moment, and that was actually on the CT side

08:59:11.240 --> 08:59:13.960
of N'Gwen, they were trying to knife you, remember that?

08:59:13.960 --> 08:59:19.360
Yeah, I know, because he is not sure, peeking me and I know maybe someone can't do anything.

08:59:19.360 --> 08:59:23.200
I think actually that was one of the turning point where you grabbed the momentum completely

08:59:23.200 --> 08:59:26.920
of the game, because you get to save the AWP, and then the next round you actually get

08:59:26.920 --> 08:59:29.040
an opening frag, right as well?

08:59:29.040 --> 08:59:30.960
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe.

08:59:30.960 --> 08:59:33.440
It's alright, bro.

08:59:33.440 --> 08:59:36.440
Can you talk us a little bit about that blowout map as well that you lost?

08:59:36.440 --> 08:59:40.440
Obviously this is probably a weakness that you have to address coming into the arena.

08:59:40.440 --> 08:59:44.440
Obviously you will still have to fight, depending on the quarterfinal and semi-final.

08:59:44.440 --> 08:59:48.440
But is this some key takeaway point that you have to focus on?

08:59:48.440 --> 08:59:51.440
I don't know, for me.

08:59:51.440 --> 08:59:55.440
In this game when they pick Mirage, but I don't know what happened.

08:59:55.440 --> 08:59:59.440
But for me, we just play bad maybe.

08:59:59.440 --> 09:00:06.300
not enjoying this game and maybe it's a bad start, I don't know what to say, but we want peace and maybe we'll lose

09:00:07.920 --> 09:00:14.640
outrown needle a little bit and we just lose anti-force and it's very hard game when you're losing every time anti-force.

09:00:15.120 --> 09:00:19.320
It makes sense. I think that was one of your worst stats maps as well coming into this.

09:00:19.480 --> 09:00:21.640
But I'll come back in Dust2 and we won the game.

09:00:22.160 --> 09:00:26.800
That's perfect, and you have to come back as well again in the game tomorrow.

09:00:26.800 --> 09:00:31.640
Excited for that obviously we don't know the opponent yet, but you're fighting for that semi-final spot

09:00:31.920 --> 09:00:36.360
You maybe want to actually play one extra game in the quarter-final as well just in front of the arena

09:00:38.480 --> 09:00:45.360
But for me maybe better to play in semi-finals, but when we start semi-finals every time losing in stock

09:00:46.080 --> 09:00:51.400
But maybe just now maybe change something. I don't know. We'll see.

09:00:51.400 --> 09:00:54.720
Well, thank you for this and over to you. That's not a pain in the ankle

09:00:56.800 --> 09:01:01.760
Man, Pienco, if there's anything you guys want to add to it, now might be the time.

09:01:01.760 --> 09:01:05.600
A lot of the way, seemingly, a little short and full of words there.

09:01:05.600 --> 09:01:10.440
Obviously, they got that cedar, that birth match ahead of them in place still, but good

09:01:10.440 --> 09:01:11.440
run to run so far.

09:01:11.440 --> 09:01:13.240
Honestly, they should be super, super happy.

09:01:13.240 --> 09:01:14.640
There was a massive comeback on Nuke.

09:01:14.640 --> 09:01:16.800
I thought it was done and dusted, I think, for themself.

09:01:16.800 --> 09:01:19.400
I thought it was done and dusted after that first half.

09:01:19.400 --> 09:01:22.880
Maybe the Molotov saving the AWP winning the last round of the half was part of

09:01:22.880 --> 09:01:24.040
that comeback, surely.

09:01:24.040 --> 09:01:28.520
That was the first time I saw 20-25 Furia come alive in 20-26.

09:01:28.520 --> 09:01:32.920
The way they won a lot of those T-Round Janko crutches, close scenarios, you know,

09:01:32.920 --> 09:01:36.520
down a man, still finds a way, falling, calling, well, that's kind of what was

09:01:36.520 --> 09:01:39.480
attributing them and what they did so so well in 20-25.

09:01:39.480 --> 09:01:42.280
When they were actually the best team in the world, it wasn't like they were

09:01:42.280 --> 09:01:44.600
dominating their opponents. They were just winning the close rounds,

09:01:44.600 --> 09:01:47.880
winning the clutches and they did that against Navi on Nuke right here

09:01:47.880 --> 09:01:50.680
and got a confidence boost of a win there, Zed.

09:01:50.680 --> 09:01:56.680
So, some of that magic, you know, come alive here on Nuke looked over really after that first half.

09:01:56.680 --> 09:02:02.680
Now he was absolutely dominant by round by round, he chipped away and then even it seemed like never recovered it.

09:02:02.680 --> 09:02:08.680
At the very end, they were 12-10 up, had two match points, but Furia able to grind it back up

09:02:08.680 --> 09:02:16.680
and then in overtime, you know, opening kill after opening kill, the kinder coming alive a little bit outside on that area of the map

09:02:16.680 --> 09:02:21.120
and just so much pressure on Furia to win this game.

09:02:21.120 --> 09:02:24.160
There's so much pressure on the players in Brazil,

09:02:24.160 --> 09:02:27.440
Brazilian organization, to make it in the arena.

09:02:27.440 --> 09:02:29.080
It's not even about winning the event,

09:02:29.080 --> 09:02:30.680
it's just being there for the fans.

09:02:30.680 --> 09:02:33.400
Like everyone wants to see you play live.

09:02:33.400 --> 09:02:35.800
That's why people bought the tickets.

09:02:35.800 --> 09:02:38.480
So being able to come back in such a fashion

09:02:38.480 --> 09:02:40.480
and get it done, it cannot be understood

09:02:40.480 --> 09:02:42.640
how big of a feat it is in the three Brazilians

09:02:42.640 --> 09:02:44.240
where the three has rated players

09:02:44.240 --> 09:02:45.440
for Furia or Nuke as well.

09:02:45.440 --> 09:02:48.780
for sure that brings me to just the conversation rk serato his contributions i

09:02:48.780 --> 09:02:51.500
think uh... it goes without saying the numbers of back that up

09:02:51.500 --> 09:02:52.280
what do you got

09:02:52.280 --> 09:02:55.460
now he missed the consistent uh... it's impossible not to sound like a broken

09:02:55.460 --> 09:02:58.460
record when you uh... you talk about case rather i think he's been fantastic

09:02:58.460 --> 09:03:01.340
for a long long time he's always been great in inferior and

09:03:01.340 --> 09:03:04.160
in this iteration of the line as well he's doing that's working even when

09:03:04.160 --> 09:03:06.000
they're not playing well even in this period where they've been

09:03:06.000 --> 09:03:06.760
struggling

09:03:06.760 --> 09:03:09.640
that's the one guy you can always count on so obviously he's a big win

09:03:09.640 --> 09:03:11.160
condition when they're winning but

09:03:11.160 --> 09:03:14.400
even more so he's also the biggest conditions against up of wife for

09:03:14.400 --> 09:03:16.800
sometimes remain competitive in games, they're not playing well.

09:03:16.800 --> 09:03:20.880
And this is a map that Blade is going to be absolutely pissed about, right?

09:03:20.880 --> 09:03:26.000
Like, I mean, having such a huge lead and so many rounds with advantages being thrown away,

09:03:26.000 --> 09:03:28.800
I mean, I don't even mind the knife attempt as much.

09:03:28.800 --> 09:03:31.760
I don't think he played like a huge deal.

09:03:31.760 --> 09:03:33.840
I know he got a kill with it the next round,

09:03:33.840 --> 09:03:37.600
but there's still plenty of opportunities for Navi to close out the game.

09:03:37.600 --> 09:03:39.120
And you know, you're in such a good run.

09:03:39.120 --> 09:03:43.920
And this is exactly the sort of a loss that we saw many times last year,

09:03:43.920 --> 09:03:51.600
where they seem in control but just find ways to lose games that seem to be all but one.

09:03:51.600 --> 09:03:54.800
I think the body language of the Navij players were telling quite a story.

09:03:54.800 --> 09:03:58.720
They were deflated, obviously sad, disappointed, weren't talking to each other that much,

09:03:58.720 --> 09:04:02.320
and LXB was just staring into the screen. That's one of those games where you feel like

09:04:02.320 --> 09:04:06.560
you won it already, you did all the groundwork, you got yourself into a winning position,

09:04:06.560 --> 09:04:09.760
and then as Janku said, you found different ways throughout the entirety of that game

09:04:09.760 --> 09:04:10.880
and second half of losing.

09:04:10.880 --> 09:04:12.240
Now you have to play two games tomorrow.

09:04:12.240 --> 09:04:18.040
If you want to qualify for the playoffs, that's all, just one or two rounds, you already got the job done.

09:04:18.040 --> 09:04:23.000
You would have been through, instead you have to play twice just to qualify for the arena.

09:04:23.000 --> 09:04:27.000
We've got another game coming your way, that's not all for the games here at the Intellect Tree Masters today.

09:04:27.000 --> 09:04:30.800
We're looking at a little bit of Maus and Aurora.

09:04:30.800 --> 09:04:35.120
Now, there will be several question marks, hopefully we can answer some of those on the backside of this break.

09:04:35.120 --> 09:04:40.400
But for what it stands, both these teams trying to get those feet started here in this year.

09:04:40.400 --> 09:04:41.520
We'll be right back after this.

09:05:42.240 --> 09:06:05.820
We are here with me ahead of the game and I wanted to ask you with the mouse specifically.

09:06:05.820 --> 09:06:09.100
This is a team that you're kind of comfortable against especially this year.

09:06:09.100 --> 09:06:14.420
I think you've played recently in Krakow and that was 2-0 fairly easy, is this something

09:06:14.420 --> 09:06:16.500
that we can expect that to do as well?

09:06:16.500 --> 09:06:18.260
I'm not sure, I don't know.

09:06:18.260 --> 09:06:22.300
Yeah, this year I think we had a pretty good match against them, but last year it was very

09:06:22.300 --> 09:06:23.800
more difficult.

09:06:23.800 --> 09:06:28.860
So hopefully we can show good construct today, but the map is different, the Pikmirage

09:06:28.860 --> 09:06:30.540
this time, not Inferno.

09:06:30.540 --> 09:06:33.540
So it's Inferno, Dust2 and Nuke, the last one.

09:06:33.540 --> 09:06:34.540
So we're going to say yeah.

09:06:34.540 --> 09:06:38.420
Yeah, I mean I wasn't aware of the veto before the interview, so this is nice

09:06:38.420 --> 09:06:43.060
league for me is that I can work with but look at the maps are you happy with this recently

09:06:43.060 --> 09:06:48.020
obviously you've been plagued with information about like St. Harrison it's hand this is something

09:06:48.020 --> 09:06:53.460
that that affected maybe a play time of your team because I know playing practicing 10-12 hours a

09:06:53.460 --> 09:06:58.980
day is maybe sometimes impossible so how does this affect so overall like last month's we

09:06:58.980 --> 09:07:03.620
did like five six country in a row like five tournament in a row you know and it was kind

09:07:03.620 --> 09:07:08.820
difficult for him and for everyone here. We try to raise the maximum possible

09:07:08.820 --> 09:07:14.300
after the tournament we did in Dragola and then we came here. I think we're

09:07:14.300 --> 09:07:18.580
okay and we're gonna go like question though.

09:07:18.580 --> 09:07:20.980
About the track line by the way.

09:07:20.980 --> 09:07:26.660
Do you want me to... I will ask now what happened there? I mean obviously it was a

09:07:26.660 --> 09:07:30.860
tournament where you kind of... why were you going or what was happening there?

09:07:30.860 --> 09:07:37.820
So this is a simple mathematical before Amsterdam. We we were top seven in Europe not so stage two

09:07:37.820 --> 09:07:44.500
This was not a confirm it and then we have to take a decision in 24 hours to do Dracula

09:07:44.500 --> 09:07:46.500
No, not before Amsterdam, you know

09:07:46.500 --> 09:07:49.260
Rotterdam, right? Rotterdam, pardon, I say Amsterdam. So

09:07:50.000 --> 09:07:55.040
We took the decision if we fail Rotterdam, we have another chance, you know to do Dracula

09:07:55.180 --> 09:07:58.020
But after Rotterdam and we did a pretty well

09:07:58.020 --> 09:08:06.180
It was I think guaranteed but not 100% so we had to play for sure Dracula if we

09:08:06.180 --> 09:08:11.640
win or we lose too much is too fun so we say to ourselves like just go just go

09:08:11.640 --> 09:08:16.680
and play but yeah it was the last tournament like fun we did four in the

09:08:16.680 --> 09:08:21.800
war so it was the five yes losing against like maybe Ali and Sam and the

09:08:21.800 --> 09:08:28.760
MAT was not good for us, but I think the team was really tired and there was a lot of things

09:08:28.760 --> 09:08:33.960
and we also knew that before the match we are stage 3 guaranteed, so the objective on the

09:08:33.960 --> 09:08:39.240
mount was the stage 3, so it's happened and they play well and it's Counter-Strike nowadays,

09:08:39.240 --> 09:08:43.400
you know, everyone can beat everyone and you have to play 100% and it's a good

09:08:43.400 --> 09:08:48.440
listen for my boys. It's Counter-Strike after all and you have to show some Counter-Strike

09:08:48.440 --> 09:08:52.600
right now the gas mouse that's your main focus point so let's see how that one goes over to you.

09:09:18.440 --> 09:09:31.280
The matchup at our doorstep features Maus and Aurora, Maus having beat Legacy yesterday,

09:09:31.280 --> 09:09:35.320
Aurora beating Houttu and for us, well I guess we're gonna have to sit back and see

09:09:35.320 --> 09:09:38.160
how this one goes with Maus going into Aurora.

09:09:38.160 --> 09:09:42.000
Both these teams, statue-wise, let's take Maus on this side and Aurora on this side.

09:09:42.000 --> 09:09:43.680
Tell me about Maus, what do you expect?

09:09:43.680 --> 09:09:44.840
Well, it's a good question.

09:09:44.840 --> 09:09:49.040
I think they've been struggling lately. It hasn't been looking great for Maus for quite some time.

09:09:49.040 --> 09:09:55.540
Used to be the most consistent team almost in the world outside of I-Tell-G, always making the playoff but never exceeding expectations.

09:09:55.540 --> 09:09:58.540
Now they're not even living up to expectations when you're close to it.

09:09:58.540 --> 09:10:03.040
The last couple of tournaments have been disastrous, one of them not even making out of the group stage and I'm winning a single game.

09:10:03.040 --> 09:10:07.540
So I think Maus coming into this tournament would allow to prove to us and to themself.

09:10:07.540 --> 09:10:13.540
If they are to be taken seriously as a contender for Cologne and the Major, they need to do better at this tournament.

09:10:13.540 --> 09:10:18.340
I don't think there's anything they can do to make me consider them a contender for Colombo.

09:10:18.340 --> 09:10:25.620
It's more about now sort of living up to their ballot as professionals in a sense, right?

09:10:25.620 --> 09:10:29.620
And then keep going, keep posting good results because they have good players, they're a good team.

09:10:29.620 --> 09:10:34.820
It's acceptable to go out in last place, you know, of a tournament like Blast, Rotterdam,

09:10:34.820 --> 09:10:38.260
even the loss to foothood. I'm not saying they're bad, but you know,

09:10:38.260 --> 09:10:43.060
You know, Maus should be beating them in the playoffs of VSL Pro League, so now you're

09:10:43.060 --> 09:10:48.420
sort of, I don't see a universe in which after the Major they still have the same roster.

09:10:48.420 --> 09:10:52.500
If you ask me, they should have made changes by now, right, already during the season to

09:10:52.500 --> 09:10:53.500
change something.

09:10:53.500 --> 09:10:55.540
It simply isn't working with these players.

09:10:55.540 --> 09:11:00.420
I'm not saying it's anyone's single players, 14 particular, just these five guys together

09:11:00.420 --> 09:11:01.700
are not going to win.

09:11:01.700 --> 09:11:04.100
Like you need to accept that and you need to make changes.

09:11:04.100 --> 09:11:09.940
Yeah, and at some point, you know, it comes becomes harder to call that rather than to just watch it how it all unfolds

09:11:09.940 --> 09:11:14.320
We could talk about maps, but what do you think about his points right there? I agree. I very much agree

09:11:14.320 --> 09:11:18.840
I think mouse is also do fortune's question is will it be now or will it be after cologne?

09:11:18.840 --> 09:11:23.140
I think we're nearing enough that that line now maybe kicks and you know is free in the market now that you didn't get

09:11:23.140 --> 09:11:25.700
Care again, so curious to see how that's gonna unfold as well

09:11:25.700 --> 09:11:26.160
I agree

09:11:26.160 --> 09:11:29.780
I think mouse is not a team that didn't want anticipate going into cologne and winning it

09:11:29.780 --> 09:11:34.700
But at least you'd expect them to be in contention for the playoff as they have been for the last

09:11:34.700 --> 09:11:37.700
majority of the past 16 months ever since they got together, basically.

09:11:37.700 --> 09:11:42.940
In contention for the playoff, I can deal with that, but this map is pretty surprising to me.

09:11:42.940 --> 09:11:48.940
I was thinking Maus was going to go with the overpass pick and then we would get Inferno as the decider,

09:11:48.940 --> 09:11:55.940
but it was Maus themselves who obviously did not pick overpass, went for Mirage over it and then between Inferno and Nuke,

09:11:55.940 --> 09:12:02.180
Nuke they went with Nuke which they have not won yet this year so maybe that's

09:12:02.180 --> 09:12:05.460
something they worked on it's also not the greatest map for Aurora so probably

09:12:05.460 --> 09:12:09.300
just wanting to perhaps punish them and maybe throw a curveball in the video

09:12:09.300 --> 09:12:12.940
itself. And speaking of Aurora they also seem pretty jaded we saw right here

09:12:12.940 --> 09:12:16.100
with Major obviously Dracula and I think there was good reasoning behind

09:12:16.100 --> 09:12:19.460
what he said you know they knew that the objective was secured making

09:12:19.460 --> 09:12:23.420
stage three of the Major etc etc but Aurora is also a team that made that

09:12:23.420 --> 09:12:26.120
mistake last season when they finally broke through when they established

09:12:26.120 --> 09:12:29.180
themselves then they kept on playing tournament after tournament after tournament

09:12:29.180 --> 09:12:32.940
and they kind of fizzled out a little bit I'm afraid they may have flirted with

09:12:32.940 --> 09:12:35.860
doing the same thing right here leading up to Cologne leading up to this

09:12:35.860 --> 09:12:39.420
tournament so they better show me right now that that's something I shouldn't

09:12:39.420 --> 09:12:42.500
worry about because we saw it last time around it didn't turn out well well

09:12:42.500 --> 09:12:44.900
gentlemen thank you so much for your thoughts let's go ahead and jump right

09:12:44.900 --> 09:12:48.660
into it with our commentators Dust2, Mirage and Nuke on the cards here

09:12:48.660 --> 09:12:50.220
from Maus and Aurora.

09:12:52.980 --> 09:12:54.980
Yeah, and again, it's all to play for.

09:12:54.980 --> 09:12:59.180
Maus taking on Aurora for these quads

09:12:59.180 --> 09:13:02.860
in kind of weirdly role-reversed situations, right?

09:13:02.860 --> 09:13:06.700
Two teams that have had their issues in playoffs for Maus.

09:13:06.700 --> 09:13:10.420
It was consistency, always finding deep runs,

09:13:10.420 --> 09:13:13.140
but struggling to lift those trophies.

09:13:13.140 --> 09:13:14.300
Much the same for Aurora,

09:13:14.300 --> 09:13:16.780
however, we've seen them start to kind of break through

09:13:16.780 --> 09:13:24.460
little these playoff woes. For mouse it's actually been a regression and so in a weird spot the

09:13:24.460 --> 09:13:29.340
dawn of this major that's right around the corner. Yeah I mean this is two teams historically

09:13:29.340 --> 09:13:33.580
were very strong in groups so let's see what they can do now. The playoffs on the line,

09:13:34.380 --> 09:13:40.220
exertion, starting off and not wavering after his first kill looking to fight out lower

09:13:40.220 --> 09:13:47.100
Soulfly coming through that smoke and the flash does push Mal's back but with a 5v4 they can

09:13:47.100 --> 09:13:52.220
settle into their positions. He is completely open and it's going to get easier as Zershin gets

09:13:52.220 --> 09:13:58.140
picked up, spinks alone. He has been the bright light for Mal's in a sea of tough times

09:13:58.140 --> 09:14:00.780
And he will continue. Nice tap to Woksek.

09:14:15.900 --> 09:14:18.540
This A-bomb site is not super safe.

09:14:18.540 --> 09:14:23.980
And with a hell of a shot for Toshi, that bomb even tumbles away from Aurora.

09:14:23.980 --> 09:14:26.500
Jimmy's got a big old flank here.

09:14:26.500 --> 09:14:31.600
pushing through the long doors now in behind enemy lines a clean tap really

09:14:31.600 --> 09:14:35.020
does just seal the fate of this one no winning it for magi it doesn't have the

09:14:35.020 --> 09:14:42.840
bomb and pincid between these mouse players he can try all he wants there's

09:14:42.840 --> 09:14:53.620
no winning this mouse walk away with a pistol not too much competition yet

09:14:53.620 --> 09:15:00.260
for either of these squads coming through day one. Hot 2, 2-0'd by Aurora. Legacy did get a map off of

09:15:00.260 --> 09:15:06.100
Maus, but coming in strong and then fading away in map 2 and 3 of the series.

09:15:12.660 --> 09:15:16.180
Trying to bring in a good energy here, Maus, after a very clean pistol.

09:15:16.180 --> 09:15:22.980
He's got six scouts on full eco, they've walked out B, Jimmy doesn't know, they've walked through

09:15:22.980 --> 09:15:28.380
the smoke, oh dearie me, can Maja do anything with this?

09:15:28.380 --> 09:15:31.820
He doesn't know yet, but he's got one hell of a timing.

09:15:31.820 --> 09:15:36.060
He could walk all the way in, maybe he thinks they're still back sights to be honest, he's

09:15:36.060 --> 09:15:39.420
going to hit Jimmy, drop exactly there.

09:15:39.420 --> 09:15:44.420
And Magikraps the free kill, that is Orc of the Jimpat, Bomb has to run it in.

09:15:47.420 --> 09:15:58.420
Magstab is very very quick for exertion, it's heard Soulfly on this rotate, plays it forward, looks for the guys pressuring this bomb site and that bomb can't get across right now, it's Magikraps doing all he can.

09:15:59.420 --> 09:16:04.420
Oh my god, what's just happened, the Corks have done it!

09:16:09.420 --> 09:16:15.060
How the hell did the Glocks do it? He died. I thought the round was done.

09:16:15.060 --> 09:16:16.340
He did a lot of damage.

09:16:16.340 --> 09:16:23.660
The timing and the deagle both out being magic did a good job getting a double, but then it's just Glocks getting pincid. You think it's over?

09:16:23.660 --> 09:16:32.180
I mean that Tunnelsflank could have just dealt with the Glock on behind. He knew it was a Glock. He'd already fired off, but he goes in and gets Glock in the back.

09:16:35.620 --> 09:16:39.380
Well, Vibe's dead now. I'll feel around like that.

09:16:39.380 --> 09:16:43.940
like for Aurora, there's no, there's no, for anyone, there's no better round to win

09:16:43.940 --> 09:16:48.700
than your fully coats. Because like even if the magic gets to celebrate on his

09:16:48.700 --> 09:16:54.060
like individual prowess and all and so that's a hearty tear down of mouths the

09:16:54.060 --> 09:16:57.700
moment they win that round. Oh it's just that even after he dies I still think

09:16:57.700 --> 09:17:21.840
mouse should be winning that bird. Fair play to Aurora. Venomous Glocks. Aurora sure into

09:17:21.840 --> 09:17:26.900
a stack but well armed and with sight control that Molly might even block

09:17:26.900 --> 09:17:41.640
exertion back as well. So, mouse call it off and any success from that pistol

09:17:41.640 --> 09:17:47.480
round swiftly forgotten about here. This is a roar I control in the early game.

09:17:47.480 --> 09:17:54.480
I'm shook.

09:17:54.480 --> 09:18:08.960
It's interesting because this is a head to head we don't get very often, right?

09:18:08.960 --> 09:18:15.960
Got it in Krakow, it was a 2-0 for Aurora of all teams.

09:18:15.960 --> 09:18:22.960
But prior to that, the last time was the Austin Major.

09:18:22.960 --> 09:18:28.960
So some unfamiliarity perhaps for these squads.

09:18:28.960 --> 09:18:35.960
And an interesting veto to boot with males floating their weakest map at the moment,

09:18:35.960 --> 09:18:40.280
Which you know maybe something they've worked on but also not picking their strongest map

09:18:44.480 --> 09:18:46.480
It's a series that

09:18:47.200 --> 09:18:49.200
Have expectation of three

09:18:50.960 --> 09:18:52.960
So was he miles one of those teams that

09:18:54.140 --> 09:18:59.720
Will kind of force the play dust to when a new bus got re-added for train train was their best map at the time and

09:19:00.120 --> 09:19:02.280
a new bus was a insta-band prior to it

09:19:03.320 --> 09:19:05.320
leaving the pool

09:19:05.960 --> 09:19:13.120
So, force to play Dust.

09:19:13.120 --> 09:19:14.920
And they've had a couple of nice matches on it, right?

09:19:14.920 --> 09:19:24.840
We remember them taking down Falcons in a crazy, disadvantageous match back at the start

09:19:24.840 --> 09:19:26.920
of the year.

09:19:26.920 --> 09:19:28.680
But otherwise they've had some trouble.

09:19:28.680 --> 09:19:33.880
And this is Aurora's bread and butter, so it's going to be a hard CT side after

09:19:33.880 --> 09:19:39.880
around loss like that and Aurora are making sure it hurts nice clean anti-eco one more of those

09:19:40.600 --> 09:19:42.600
down the hatch and now miles get guns

09:19:55.960 --> 09:20:00.120
Yeah, I think as well, you know, uh, I think this just felt nice for Aurora is sort of the

09:20:00.120 --> 09:20:04.360
the string of nice events that they've had, right?

09:20:04.360 --> 09:20:11.360
The last season of EPL where they're able to make it into the final,

09:20:11.360 --> 09:20:13.080
they're able to win some games in the playoffs,

09:20:13.080 --> 09:20:14.120
then they do the same and right.

09:20:14.120 --> 09:20:15.280
I'm sure they don't go as far,

09:20:15.280 --> 09:20:18.960
but they still get a victory logged in the quarters.

09:20:18.960 --> 09:20:23.000
Two of the Mongols, they're kryptonite for the longest time in those playoffs.

09:20:23.000 --> 09:20:25.840
Two teams that had troubles and Mongols got over them quicker.

09:20:25.840 --> 09:20:31.400
And it's just, you know, I think, and this is something that Maus have fell in equal part, but for different reasons.

09:20:31.400 --> 09:20:36.920
It's very important to teams, eventually, to start to feel like you are progressing, you know, that you haven't hit a bit of a wall.

09:20:38.280 --> 09:20:42.120
And for the longest time, it was just looking for any type of playoff win was a...

09:20:44.640 --> 09:20:46.840
Would have been a huge move in the right direction for Aurora.

09:20:46.840 --> 09:20:49.000
Now they've had two events back to back where they've done that.

09:20:49.000 --> 09:20:51.480
They've secured victories in those high pressure moments.

09:20:51.480 --> 09:20:53.720
So you start to, you know, believe again.

09:20:55.840 --> 09:21:03.040
It's a Form-Wise Aurora, certainly coming into this looking better.

09:21:03.040 --> 09:21:09.040
That was about a rough couple of weeks.

09:21:09.040 --> 09:21:13.040
A long day at the Long Day Factory.

09:21:13.040 --> 09:21:18.840
Alright, head of this smoke, little flash and a pop, get some round the corner, and

09:21:18.840 --> 09:21:23.240
even though all eyes are on for mouths, they're all blind.

09:21:23.240 --> 09:21:27.320
down to their skull this smoke so still a chance here for miles to punish on the

09:21:27.320 --> 09:21:31.720
cross I think in a run boost looking like that's what they want to do all

09:21:31.720 --> 09:21:35.720
right and a little cheeky with it all right let's go don't mess this up oh

09:21:35.720 --> 09:21:41.240
he didn't like the light yeah I didn't even know if he hit his head I think he

09:21:41.240 --> 09:21:46.960
thought he would I don't know that seems like a bit of a

09:21:46.960 --> 09:21:48.960
Kofuffle

09:21:52.640 --> 09:21:54.480
Unlucky

09:21:54.480 --> 09:21:58.960
He falls in and walks six a dead man walking. I don't think he actually hit his head

09:21:58.960 --> 09:22:01.380
I think he just doubted the play. I think it would have been fine

09:22:02.680 --> 09:22:04.680
Maybe I'm crazy

09:22:10.320 --> 09:22:12.780
Rumbus might have been their only way instead

09:22:12.780 --> 09:22:18.100
It's actually that one flash the mouse around they don't even swing with but it stops Aurora

09:22:18.100 --> 09:22:21.900
It makes them throw a bad smoke. That was their last bit of utility

09:22:23.380 --> 09:22:25.380
Round comes crumbling

09:22:26.340 --> 09:22:29.840
Oxy usually very sharp on these cross shots. See more of that later

09:22:33.260 --> 09:22:39.080
Long here on a delay, that's exactly what Tor she wanted all posted at least gets the trade

09:22:39.080 --> 09:22:44.480
even tries to go looking for a little bit more but eventually is to concede this

09:22:44.480 --> 09:22:49.480
long control. Yeah, I put waxing in the pits.

09:22:53.920 --> 09:22:56.920
Careful.

09:22:56.920 --> 09:23:13.400
Oh, that forces Spinks out, but a missed shot from Woxig means he can evade capture.

09:23:13.400 --> 09:23:17.200
Still have this late lurk.

09:23:17.200 --> 09:23:20.120
Well, Cardi just waiting in the wings.

09:23:20.120 --> 09:23:25.040
Over the ward's short.

09:23:25.040 --> 09:23:30.200
such a position that he could be used to help with the sight here if it's required and it feels like it will be

09:23:30.880 --> 09:23:35.920
Santar as the magic it shoot up and so suddenly you're left hoping that what kind of you can be a difference maker

09:23:38.760 --> 09:23:41.540
It's considered by now as they've got eyes on catwalk

09:23:41.540 --> 09:23:45.480
I know it's been a bit of a gap out here towards me and so with that dink landing

09:23:50.620 --> 09:23:54.380
Just an awkward position bomb dropped at the cross no util

09:23:54.380 --> 09:23:57.820
Well, there is a smoke on Wakadia, but he's not in a position to help.

09:23:57.820 --> 09:24:01.580
Yeah, if the smoke wasn't down, they could play it, but it's just blocking him out.

09:24:01.580 --> 09:24:03.500
And as it fades, he walks away.

09:24:03.500 --> 09:24:05.980
So I think that's done for Aurora.

09:24:05.980 --> 09:24:10.340
Even though two kills were right available for Wakadia, and he'll still die before all

09:24:10.340 --> 09:24:11.340
is said and done.

09:24:11.340 --> 09:24:14.820
So a shame on that few seconds timing difference.

09:24:14.820 --> 09:24:17.740
Right now, that was a found the counter.

09:24:17.740 --> 09:24:21.220
It's this long flash.

09:24:21.220 --> 09:24:24.580
Aurora tried to cross because they can't make it past car.

09:24:24.580 --> 09:24:27.860
Magi even heard the pin click of that flashbang.

09:24:27.860 --> 09:24:29.260
It was not thrown from far away.

09:24:29.260 --> 09:24:34.180
He just stared into the sun.

09:24:34.180 --> 09:24:37.340
No one has been anti-flashed, even when they had three players there.

09:24:37.340 --> 09:24:45.460
Everyone eyes on the smoke and it's an annoying lesson to learn right now from Aurora.

09:24:45.460 --> 09:24:48.540
multiple rounds at the long position.

09:24:48.540 --> 09:24:55.420
Well, on the back of having long control, two rounds in a row, but never being able to make

09:24:55.420 --> 09:24:59.140
it past the car, they'll change their mind and look somewhere else.

09:24:59.140 --> 09:25:04.140
I hope the Woxig was going to get given a B-fight, a chance for that opening pick,

09:25:04.140 --> 09:25:06.460
and they were prepared to risk it all if he did.

09:25:06.460 --> 09:25:09.260
Again, another cancel on the play here for Aurora.

09:25:09.260 --> 09:25:13.540
This is all on purpose, because they're very quickly rotating around the map.

09:25:13.540 --> 09:25:37.540
But, they look like they're already just go for that B-pop through the smoke.

09:25:37.540 --> 09:25:38.540
Late long.

09:25:38.540 --> 09:25:42.540
Oh, Flash is a good toss, he's still able to get one off.

09:25:42.540 --> 09:25:46.540
Lends a bit of help to Brolin, and it's a potent set up over along.

09:25:46.540 --> 09:25:48.540
They fall for the bait and switch.

09:25:48.540 --> 09:25:51.540
Go right into Brolin's hands.

09:25:53.540 --> 09:25:58.540
And so for Xantarism Woxic, 2v5, very unlikely round.

09:25:58.540 --> 09:26:01.540
They don't have any control to speak of either.

09:26:01.540 --> 09:26:03.540
And they've even lost all of the upper tunnels.

09:26:03.540 --> 09:26:05.540
Not even something they're aware of.

09:26:08.540 --> 09:26:15.220
Do you imagine as safe well

09:26:19.220 --> 09:26:21.220
Oh

09:26:21.220 --> 09:26:27.480
That's the sign that is the site open Jimmy's missed that timing as well walks it crossing in but

09:26:28.300 --> 09:26:30.300
Doesn't believe

09:26:33.460 --> 09:26:36.060
Yeah, I mean, how could you know right there in your spawn?

09:26:36.060 --> 09:26:43.100
to win. That's why B is completely empty. Could have got a plan, but I sort of had him

09:26:43.100 --> 09:26:50.020
boxed in rather guarantee the orb. And it will be an eco round with just that AWP and

09:26:50.020 --> 09:26:55.020
maybe some pistols here on the T side. Now's building in very well. I think that's very

09:26:55.020 --> 09:27:00.460
good at like, you know, not getting ruffled when they lose that awful glock round.

09:27:00.460 --> 09:27:05.300
Also, just think like the nature of how you've won this early game has been really nice

09:27:06.460 --> 09:27:11.100
You kind of got to be feeling good about it. You shut down their two long takes when they get the space

09:27:11.100 --> 09:27:12.900
That's easier said than done

09:27:12.900 --> 09:27:16.340
Didn't fall down to their B star and any of the trickery in the mid-round

09:27:16.340 --> 09:27:21.060
You feel like you've removed a lot from the kind of early playbook of the Aurora T side

09:27:21.060 --> 09:27:33.420
I feel like you don't want to fight Woxic in this round, careful.

09:27:33.420 --> 09:27:40.460
You know it's all that Aurora have, this is T-Side Orb, so Torsion Easter, well now

09:27:40.460 --> 09:27:43.660
he definitely will be careful, low health, off the cross.

09:27:43.660 --> 09:27:49.900
No reason to give Woxic an entry here, he's already taken three shots.

09:27:49.900 --> 09:28:08.460
I was allowed them up Catwalk with that smoke because they want nothing to do with it.

09:28:08.460 --> 09:28:15.340
Well I think I'll be taking the big gun over here towards B. But the bomb along with Maga

09:28:15.340 --> 09:28:21.100
are waiting out on the catwalk so hoping that just seeing an orb over towards the tunnels keeps a

09:28:21.100 --> 09:28:33.980
lot of attention on that B site. 20 seconds left, eventually Aurora have to get a move on.

09:28:36.380 --> 09:28:40.780
Oh dear. Okay these cat plays have to die, exertion will be there.

09:28:40.780 --> 09:28:50.300
Oh my god. No. Toshi's also low from the earlier tag. Thankfully, Brolin's here to lay it all to

09:28:50.300 --> 09:28:57.740
rest. Well, it's getting scared of another eco in here from Aurora. Two players out mid, two players

09:28:57.740 --> 09:29:05.500
up cat, all over the shop and the crazy deal up short. At least Brolin is able to pin this round

09:29:05.500 --> 09:29:07.500
down here.

09:29:14.140 --> 09:29:16.140
I'll stay in car

09:29:16.300 --> 09:29:18.300
four rounds in a row

09:29:18.380 --> 09:29:20.380
T side calling a timeouts

09:29:21.100 --> 09:29:23.100
And there's a plenty of money here

09:29:23.820 --> 09:29:27.980
I said the thing that's starting to feel really awkward is like the only space you've been able to get

09:29:28.380 --> 09:29:33.660
Reliably in this map thus far is that long control and whenever you've had it you've struggled to

09:29:33.660 --> 09:29:41.500
even survive the crossing. I haven't really seen any type of a threat on the

09:29:41.500 --> 09:29:46.340
back of a mid to B. The Tunnels picks have been attempted by Woxic but it's

09:29:46.340 --> 09:29:49.540
been matched by Maus just playing super passive on that half of the map. You

09:29:49.540 --> 09:29:57.340
know, never giving him the chance to fight. So a justified timeout here is

09:29:57.340 --> 09:30:05.740
this streak of rounds for mouse continues to build boost up for Toshi as he looks to be

09:30:05.740 --> 09:30:10.740
involved early on this AWP.

09:30:10.740 --> 09:30:22.020
Ooh, careful!

09:30:22.020 --> 09:30:30.740
Smoke fade and Spinks punished.

09:30:30.740 --> 09:30:32.580
Quite the hefty nade onto Woxic.

09:30:32.580 --> 09:30:38.180
It's essentially gets snuck under the smoke, they won't be ready for that position, they're not hanging around in the middle.

09:30:38.180 --> 09:30:43.780
Looks like they just want to go for this cat-exec and torsion, getting aggressive alongside Brolin, nails what?

09:30:43.780 --> 09:30:46.380
Brolin committing, fighting for his life.

09:30:47.880 --> 09:30:51.380
One Molly left for this default position and Brolin is out of there.

09:30:51.380 --> 09:30:56.780
But the orb sing and so it will. Brolin tapping again, he just can't be stopped.

09:30:56.780 --> 09:31:03.700
Captain puts them in his backpack sixth round locked in for miles back-to-back three case from Brolin

09:31:08.420 --> 09:31:12.340
Just an absolute delight isn't it I mean that it's back-to-back multi kill rounds

09:31:15.060 --> 09:31:18.340
Roland doing a hell of a service and shutting down these cap plays

09:31:20.660 --> 09:31:24.100
And now if you're a rora you're wondering what's actually worked in this game

09:31:24.100 --> 09:31:28.100
game. Sure, you want that

09:31:28.100 --> 09:31:29.100
crazy block round, but then

09:31:29.100 --> 09:31:30.100
them ensuing rounds were off

09:31:30.100 --> 09:31:31.100
the back of mouths having no

09:31:31.100 --> 09:31:35.100
economy yet to win a full

09:31:35.100 --> 09:31:36.100
rifle round in this entire map.

09:31:36.100 --> 09:31:40.100
10 rounds deep.

09:31:40.100 --> 09:31:41.100
It's clear the mouths are

09:31:41.100 --> 09:31:42.100
also just paranoid that

09:31:42.100 --> 09:31:43.100
eventually they're going to

09:31:43.100 --> 09:31:44.100
get another one of these

09:31:44.100 --> 09:31:45.100
long hits. They've started

09:31:45.100 --> 09:31:46.100
a couple of times here with

09:31:46.100 --> 09:31:47.100
multiple players over the

09:31:47.100 --> 09:31:49.100
wards long just to try and

09:31:49.100 --> 09:31:50.100
fight for this space. This

09:31:50.100 --> 09:31:51.100
time they've even got that

09:31:51.100 --> 09:32:00.460
time they've even got that boost throwing in. And once you get rolling up there it just

09:32:00.460 --> 09:32:12.580
frees up a second man to go and help him in the site itself. Might just be another one

09:32:12.580 --> 09:32:16.140
of these cat walkouts for Aurora. The one thing that gives you a bit of intrigue is

09:32:16.140 --> 09:32:19.100
You've got Wakardia out here in mid keeping that under under wraps

09:32:23.580 --> 09:32:27.940
Could try a hand at the CT drop there is no one there to stop it so you would have mid

09:32:30.300 --> 09:32:33.740
You're gonna try and close in on Torsche exertions got the cover

09:32:34.460 --> 09:32:40.220
So she will fall but then in comes Brolin from that long position and another multi kill for the captain

09:32:41.060 --> 09:32:43.060
To seal the deal on seven

09:32:43.060 --> 09:32:45.060
4 is squad.

09:32:45.060 --> 09:32:48.060
Barlow is having a great day with the transfer as well.

09:32:48.060 --> 09:32:50.060
Search in great position.

09:32:50.060 --> 09:32:54.060
Pushing up behind those smokes knowing Aurora are looking in the wrong direction

09:32:54.060 --> 09:32:57.060
and full punish on every part of the map now.

09:32:57.060 --> 09:33:03.060
Haven't really seen the proper B assault or mid to B out of Aurora on this T side.

09:33:03.060 --> 09:33:10.060
They are just running into brick walls cartoonish on this T side.

09:33:10.060 --> 09:33:13.360
Softlight is a good longspawn, I always wonder if he just takes it.

09:33:14.360 --> 09:33:16.860
Sights against it, it's two under the tunnels.

09:33:17.360 --> 09:33:21.060
And an attempt to go and work a bit of this mid control out of Aurora.

09:33:34.560 --> 09:33:37.060
Now I was just letting the game come to them right now.

09:33:37.060 --> 09:33:40.660
Because they've just had no problem stopping the egg sacks.

09:33:40.660 --> 09:33:43.420
They don't really feel a great deal of pressure to be involved.

09:33:43.420 --> 09:33:47.380
I think honestly, if you're a Rorik, you're wanting fights way earlier than you're getting them.

09:33:47.380 --> 09:33:50.660
Yeah, you're like, stop giving us cats because we can't hit this site.

09:33:50.660 --> 09:33:52.980
And that was the case in the early stages too.

09:33:52.980 --> 09:33:55.700
They were being given long, but they couldn't survive the crossing.

09:33:55.700 --> 09:34:00.020
Maus are doing a fantastic job of just playing like bombsite defense.

09:34:00.020 --> 09:34:06.100
Spinks baiting for exertion here in middle.

09:34:06.100 --> 09:34:09.620
This is the weakest A set up all game.

09:34:09.620 --> 09:34:11.020
Mows are gambling B right now.

09:34:11.020 --> 09:34:14.460
They think Aurora will fall back into the mid to B.

09:34:14.460 --> 09:34:16.900
Still yet to be certain.

09:34:16.900 --> 09:34:18.740
Using their util to block on this A site.

09:34:18.740 --> 09:34:19.740
Brolin coming back.

09:34:19.740 --> 09:34:23.740
They're full gambling that no one is long and right now this is the right call for

09:34:23.740 --> 09:34:24.740
Mows.

09:34:24.740 --> 09:34:27.740
This might just pay off.

09:34:27.740 --> 09:34:35.140
Torsche with the catch on the first man in Brolin again with the transfer and it's only soul flight not for long

09:34:35.460 --> 09:34:37.460
Torsche brushes him aside

09:34:37.780 --> 09:34:40.180
Brolin is the carry. He's a star player

09:34:41.060 --> 09:34:48.460
He has stopped every single one of these a-hits. He's had two triple kills two double kills and a side of fries

09:34:50.100 --> 09:34:55.160
It's Torsche and Brolin largely on this part of the map and yeah, even then between the two of them

09:34:55.160 --> 09:34:59.640
23 kills, they've had all the action all the time.

09:34:59.640 --> 09:35:01.140
Horses also not missing.

09:35:03.360 --> 09:35:04.360
Reliable.

09:35:06.280 --> 09:35:11.280
And Aurora, the alternative of that round was dropped into the mid to B, into the triple stack.

09:35:12.520 --> 09:35:13.800
So there is no way out of this.

09:35:13.800 --> 09:35:16.000
Maus again go triple B because why not?

09:35:16.000 --> 09:35:20.520
They have full faith in this two-man setup and surely the B hits coming.

09:35:21.920 --> 09:35:23.520
You know what? You're onto something.

09:35:23.520 --> 09:35:29.040
Spinks and Jimmy high low defeat down Torres one and eleven. His half is over

09:35:29.320 --> 09:35:34.180
It's also just nice right playing that type of position. You're kind of anticipating that this game

09:35:34.760 --> 09:35:39.040
Surely is to come back towards this B site eventually in round 12 would be the time to do it

09:35:39.120 --> 09:35:43.200
If you're ever going to explore this option, but they know the money isn't there for Aurora

09:35:43.200 --> 09:35:48.400
If you remember Woxxix tried his hand at that peak in through the tunnel so many times hoping to just catch someone

09:35:48.880 --> 09:35:53.480
Aggressive well now they know the money isn't there for the AWP that they take that that double peek into the tunnel

09:35:53.520 --> 09:35:56.960
It's very frustrating to deal with.

09:35:56.960 --> 09:35:59.680
And they only bring it out here because they know what they're up against

09:35:59.680 --> 09:36:01.360
and that they can't get punished from it.

09:36:01.360 --> 09:36:04.640
So it's left Aurora on the back foot in a big way in this round.

09:36:04.640 --> 09:36:08.720
3v5 clutching at straws for four on the T side.

09:36:08.720 --> 09:36:10.320
It's into a mid to B.

09:36:10.320 --> 09:36:12.160
Xertran might just come through this smoke off.

09:36:12.160 --> 09:36:13.840
Spinks contact as well.

09:36:13.840 --> 09:36:15.920
Could just shoot little holes in it.

09:36:15.920 --> 09:36:18.000
And some of them might land in Aurora's legs.

09:36:18.000 --> 09:36:19.280
Double kill for Spinks.

09:36:19.280 --> 09:36:20.240
And that is it.

09:36:20.240 --> 09:36:27.040
shut out on this half Aurora were laughing after a Glock eco win but nothing more to celebrate as

09:36:27.040 --> 09:36:29.040
has now stormed the board.

09:39:57.040 --> 09:40:03.280
Mince me out of Aurora on a Dust 2, 9, 3 at the end of their CT campaign and it's been

09:40:03.280 --> 09:40:05.320
helped out massively.

09:40:05.320 --> 09:40:10.680
A strong performance out of Torsche and Brolin over towards the A site and Spinks sneaking

09:40:10.680 --> 09:40:16.720
up the board in his few moments of action over towards B. Always a force to be reckoned

09:40:16.720 --> 09:40:17.720
with.

09:40:17.720 --> 09:40:22.760
Aurora won a very unlikely Glock round but that was really the only thing worth smiling

09:40:22.760 --> 09:40:25.040
about and that was a long, long time ago.

09:40:25.040 --> 09:40:28.880
Yeah, not a single gun round in the entire half won by Aurora.

09:40:30.280 --> 09:40:32.920
That speaks volumes.

09:40:32.920 --> 09:40:35.640
Sentara is absent.

09:40:35.640 --> 09:40:37.600
Riccardia not far off.

09:40:37.600 --> 09:40:41.480
These are the two star players from Aurora going silent

09:40:42.120 --> 09:40:44.920
in a playoff qualification game.

09:40:48.400 --> 09:40:50.960
An upsetless day one, but there will be tears tonight.

09:40:50.960 --> 09:40:53.320
Exertion sending it up short.

09:40:53.320 --> 09:40:55.320
this players to trade here. It

09:40:55.320 --> 09:40:57.320
spanks, pulls back and lets

09:40:57.320 --> 09:40:59.320
Makati come to him. The flash

09:40:59.320 --> 09:41:01.320
through the smoke dodged entirely

09:41:01.320 --> 09:41:03.320
and Maus already set themselves up

09:41:03.320 --> 09:41:05.320
for a storming T side.

09:41:05.320 --> 09:41:07.320
Wait a second.

09:41:07.320 --> 09:41:09.320
Don't get ahead of yourselves here.

09:41:09.320 --> 09:41:11.320
This is the round that lets you make it

09:41:11.320 --> 09:41:13.320
real easy, Maus.

09:41:13.320 --> 09:41:15.320
They've given away the advantage

09:41:15.320 --> 09:41:17.320
back into a 2v2

09:41:17.320 --> 09:41:19.320
soul fly looking for heads.

09:41:19.320 --> 09:41:21.320
Zantares only has two kills

09:41:21.320 --> 09:41:30.320
in this map thus far. So often the focal point of Aurora, well dead here, it's left to soulfly having a dig deep in the clutch.

09:41:30.320 --> 09:41:38.320
Jimmy has cover on the bomb from long, not peeking right away. The view's being held, he can't see it.

09:41:38.320 --> 09:41:47.320
Oh dear, that is a rough Ole Miss dead. The full stick, the full 10 seconds, daylight robbery.

09:41:47.320 --> 09:41:49.520
And Aurora, they've got their lifeline.

09:41:49.520 --> 09:41:54.200
Those are the little tricks, the little fun and games

09:41:54.200 --> 09:41:58.260
that you've got to learn to get any edge.

09:41:58.260 --> 09:42:01.600
Sulfy positions himself just out of the line

09:42:01.600 --> 09:42:04.240
aside of Jimmy, looks at the ground,

09:42:05.560 --> 09:42:07.400
and no headshot available.

09:42:08.640 --> 09:42:11.560
All right, guys, they're laughing it off.

09:42:11.560 --> 09:42:14.280
Aurora back in with a chance.

09:42:15.680 --> 09:42:17.040
That felt like a shoe-in.

09:42:17.040 --> 09:42:23.360
that is sick. But you that is a gut punch. The idea that you've actually lost now a couple

09:42:23.360 --> 09:42:28.320
of embarrassing rounds if your mouse short, they're winning. But dust two has been a real

09:42:28.320 --> 09:42:36.640
struggle for this team since they had to, you know, look to play it again. And four

09:42:36.640 --> 09:42:43.000
and nine on it. Not been a pretty picture for mouse on this map. And it is the T sides

09:42:43.000 --> 09:42:47.880
where the struggles lie you could have had a very easy time if you converted on that pistol

09:42:48.760 --> 09:42:50.680
and you really had all the reason to do so

09:42:55.800 --> 09:43:01.800
and now you have to earn the win the good thing is this buy is really nice for miles

09:43:01.800 --> 09:43:06.120
two galils a k couple of its utility and they're storming

09:43:06.120 --> 09:43:11.440
have a bit of a second chance for themselves to try and make this a quick

09:43:11.440 --> 09:43:17.080
day on Dust2. Xersion needs an entry here, someone does.

09:43:17.920 --> 09:43:26.200
Sparons, we'll get one on that mid-lurk. That doesn't do much to further the cause

09:43:26.200 --> 09:43:31.000
of this A-hit. That's got to come from Xersion. Front of the pack on the AK

09:43:31.000 --> 09:43:33.000
He gets his opener

09:43:34.440 --> 09:43:36.440
Bombs gone back

09:43:36.720 --> 09:43:42.300
And Spinks catches the reposition on Soulfly B sites just been open for business

09:43:43.240 --> 09:43:50.940
So cheeky gets the first kill of this T side out middle just sits there and waits until Soulfly makes a mistake

09:43:51.880 --> 09:43:57.560
Also, I love the read from exertion the real other the way he realized Santaris was there is because of how

09:43:57.560 --> 09:44:02.840
passive Aurora were playing. They were spotted on ramp. No one took a fight after they got spotted.

09:44:02.840 --> 09:44:08.880
Magus Jiggly, he's not committing. It's a little suspect for exertion. He realizes there's a Joker

09:44:08.880 --> 09:44:17.560
in the pack, Zantara is rather hiding out on Goose. Fantastic clear. So some good moments here

09:44:17.560 --> 09:44:23.800
from Malz and the warrior that the pistol brought us. Well they were in the force by this time.

09:44:27.560 --> 09:44:37.560
Safe and sound, 10 rounds.

09:44:37.560 --> 09:44:48.560
Now I've got a nod of approval from Cycro and he knows that it's put them on a very

09:44:48.560 --> 09:44:53.560
good track all over again.

09:44:53.560 --> 09:44:58.680
out called in for Aurora. I say I'm going to figure out a win with a four spy their own.

09:45:07.240 --> 09:45:10.680
Do you want this AK and M4 to work with?

09:45:23.560 --> 09:45:30.560
of

09:45:30.560 --> 09:45:34.560
death

09:45:34.560 --> 09:45:37.560
of

09:45:37.560 --> 09:45:42.560
death

09:45:42.560 --> 09:45:49.560
of

09:45:49.560 --> 09:45:54.240
Two rifles, four ball behind it.

09:45:57.240 --> 09:46:01.440
The map pick on the line.

09:46:02.480 --> 09:46:06.240
It doesn't feel like the kind of game that Aurora are gonna start fully

09:46:06.240 --> 09:46:09.600
echoing at 11-4.

09:46:19.560 --> 09:46:46.840
He is very weak.

09:46:46.840 --> 09:46:56.080
player. Mal's a feyly cat here. Confirmed by Zantara's and in fact denied, but they

09:46:56.080 --> 09:46:57.600
go back to SoulFlight.

09:46:57.600 --> 09:47:01.960
Spengz has just been smoked off though in the tunnels. He was meant to try and test the

09:47:01.960 --> 09:47:06.760
waters for this B landing. Thankfully the mid to B's already in and Jimmy will provide

09:47:06.760 --> 09:47:15.040
the moe down in towards the spawn finds a good chunk of damage. Jimmy getting sandwiched

09:47:15.040 --> 09:47:20.080
here from CT and the middoors can't survive past magic. It's sphinx there to back him up,

09:47:20.720 --> 09:47:26.960
hoping to keep this one safe and sound. I do enjoy watching sphinx. He is actually one of the most

09:47:27.520 --> 09:47:31.840
entertaining players to watch, even though it can be, you know, times a little bit laboured.

09:47:33.280 --> 09:47:36.320
When he knows he has that gap and he has that timing,

09:47:38.640 --> 09:47:40.720
so much fun watching him exploit it.

09:47:40.720 --> 09:47:52.720
it. A couple of really good maps. I love watching that Inferno CT side. Hiding him out in the

09:47:52.720 --> 09:48:00.840
back of B. Right now he's just constantly harassing this back line from Aurora. They

09:48:00.840 --> 09:48:04.720
can't sleep easily. They're hardly getting chased down in middle.

09:48:04.720 --> 09:48:06.720
He's at least gone away

09:48:09.760 --> 09:48:11.760
Get lost

09:48:12.880 --> 09:48:14.880
She's been bottled by exertion

09:48:23.040 --> 09:48:27.600
I think my mouse though even in moments like this five on three, they're not gonna jump the gun

09:48:27.600 --> 09:48:35.200
I don't know if that applies to B, but again, it's a weakened buy-in.

09:48:35.200 --> 09:48:38.880
What did I say? Aurora just continually forcing at this point in the game.

09:48:38.880 --> 09:48:41.840
They're feeling like they have to win a round and it's just not coming.

09:48:44.960 --> 09:48:52.480
Going the entirety of this map without a gun round win would be horrendous.

09:48:52.480 --> 09:49:09.600
But it seems like that's the world we're in, 12 to 4.

09:49:09.600 --> 09:49:14.920
I mean, when neither of kind of your focal point rifles show up, you were always going

09:49:14.920 --> 09:49:16.600
to be in for a bad time, right?

09:49:16.600 --> 09:49:19.640
Santar is Amokadir of both struggled here on Dust2.

09:49:19.640 --> 09:49:25.640
That's the fact that you're getting this kind of x-factor performance out of Brolin for the side of Maus who was just an absolute

09:49:26.140 --> 09:49:28.140
Monster throughout that first half

09:49:28.340 --> 09:49:31.460
Spinks has really started coming into his own as well as the game went on

09:49:36.120 --> 09:49:41.920
Yeah, I was on just calling a great game that they're hitting really hard as well much harder than that of Aurora

09:49:41.920 --> 09:49:51.620
But Harry, we've had two players with career worst maps today, Molladoy and Donk.

09:49:51.620 --> 09:49:53.100
This could be Zantara's.

09:49:53.100 --> 09:50:06.020
If he just dies here and doesn't get another kill, definitely down there.

09:50:06.020 --> 09:50:07.020
There's no way.

09:50:07.020 --> 09:50:10.000
You can't have three career worsts in one day.

09:50:10.000 --> 09:50:15.360
it won't be that bad because he had impact on pistol that they won, but it's not looking good.

09:50:16.880 --> 09:50:21.920
Well, Torsche starts us off with a 5v4. He is empty. They've really hung so

09:50:21.920 --> 09:50:25.760
far to drive this whole half, like he's not had one inch of support.

09:50:32.080 --> 09:50:37.040
All right. Good pickup for Woxic. Been one of the few players

09:50:37.040 --> 09:50:44.200
that have really offered anything Zantara is dead and a potential career worse

09:50:44.200 --> 09:50:53.640
lumin over him 4 and 16 in a failure to launch for Aurora absolutely huge for

09:50:53.640 --> 09:50:56.840
Maus as well a map that they've had really nothing but struggles on

09:50:56.840 --> 09:51:06.200
throughout this year looking to go their way in the path to the playoffs

09:51:06.200 --> 09:51:14.080
The Mirage up next, you're certainly getting nervous for Aurora.

09:51:14.080 --> 09:51:15.720
And this one's just a formality.

09:51:15.720 --> 09:51:18.160
Woxic, there's no win in this.

09:51:18.160 --> 09:51:21.600
Maus destroy Aurora on Dust2.

09:51:21.600 --> 09:51:27.400
It starts with Brolin and Torsi, and then by the end everyone on Maus is firing on

09:51:27.400 --> 09:51:28.400
all cylinders.

09:51:28.400 --> 09:51:31.520
A rare win on Dust2 to start them off.

09:51:31.520 --> 09:51:35.720
Mirage up next, Maus are gunning for that last playoff spot.

09:51:35.720 --> 09:51:37.720
Today

09:52:05.720 --> 09:52:34.040
I'm

09:52:34.040 --> 09:52:39.320
Here is Ticron from Maus and I have a couple of questions about the team itself.

09:52:39.320 --> 09:52:47.600
I want to say what would you say is the biggest weakness or focus point that Maus is currently

09:52:47.600 --> 09:52:51.840
struggling with in recent months?

09:52:51.840 --> 09:52:55.680
You know, on the pursuit to try and beat a team like Vitalty, we're really looking

09:52:55.680 --> 09:52:58.720
at the details and we get quite in deep to it.

09:52:58.720 --> 09:53:02.080
I think one of the takeaways we have from recent times is maybe we over-analyzed

09:53:02.080 --> 09:53:03.400
a bit too much.

09:53:03.400 --> 09:53:06.360
and maybe also from a coaching perspective,

09:53:06.360 --> 09:53:09.920
I think it pushed the guys a little bit too much in this regard.

09:53:09.920 --> 09:53:11.800
And it takes away from playing on instinct,

09:53:11.800 --> 09:53:14.560
takes away from having good ways with thinking in the moment.

09:53:14.560 --> 09:53:17.120
And you lose a little bit of perspective

09:53:17.120 --> 09:53:18.360
because you have so much on your mind,

09:53:18.360 --> 09:53:19.480
it takes a lot of capacity away.

09:53:19.480 --> 09:53:21.760
So that's the part right now.

09:53:21.760 --> 09:53:22.720
This is really interesting.

09:53:22.720 --> 09:53:25.720
Do you think that this was like kind of like a structure,

09:53:25.720 --> 09:53:26.680
two structured team,

09:53:26.680 --> 09:53:28.400
and now you're kind of leaning away from that

09:53:28.400 --> 09:53:31.200
in order to kind of like unchain the players

09:53:31.200 --> 09:53:32.520
to be free in the moment?

09:53:32.520 --> 09:53:35.440
Is this what I'm hearing right from you, or something along those lines?

09:53:35.440 --> 09:53:37.240
You are analyzing too much as well.

09:53:37.240 --> 09:53:39.080
It's not that deep, you know.

09:53:39.080 --> 09:53:40.720
We have some time off now.

09:53:40.720 --> 09:53:45.440
I also took a week off and focused more on the quality of what we do.

09:53:45.440 --> 09:53:50.080
Your deep runs with this team always kind of leave a bitter taste,

09:53:50.080 --> 09:53:52.560
because obviously last time you lifted the trophy,

09:53:52.560 --> 09:53:55.040
it was in 2025, I believe, Cluchna Polka, right?

09:53:55.040 --> 09:54:00.640
And ever since then, 11 semis still failed to convert that into silverware.

09:54:00.640 --> 09:54:04.040
I wanted to ask, why do you think this is from your perspective?

09:54:04.040 --> 09:54:07.480
Obviously, you're against Vitality, which they have their own era.

09:54:07.480 --> 09:54:11.520
But again, like 11 times at some of those tournaments, they weren't even there, right?

09:54:12.400 --> 09:54:14.200
Yeah, let's start with Vitality.

09:54:14.200 --> 09:54:17.680
Because I think for any team to win in that era, it's difficult, right?

09:54:17.720 --> 09:54:21.640
So just comparing those two teams, we're also a much younger team.

09:54:22.000 --> 09:54:24.160
If you look at the average age, and I think for them,

09:54:24.160 --> 09:54:26.400
there are definitely at their peak, many of the players right now.

09:54:26.920 --> 09:54:29.000
It could be like that for a while.

09:54:29.000 --> 09:54:33.480
don't think the peak is there yet for any of our guys, right? So, that's one of the big things.

09:54:33.480 --> 09:54:36.920
We also think it's disappointing that there's been no silverware, even though there's so many

09:54:36.920 --> 09:54:42.520
deep runs. And we try and remind ourselves that the work to get to that spot, it doesn't come from

09:54:42.520 --> 09:54:47.000
nothing, right? There's still a lot of work put in and we're constantly looking to take a step

09:54:47.000 --> 09:54:51.960
forward, of course. In what regards, do you think this is like more psychological or

09:54:51.960 --> 09:54:55.800
tactical or maybe individual? Like, players are not stepping up in those important moments,

09:54:55.800 --> 09:54:59.480
like if you would have to pinpoint it to one or two things what would you think

09:54:59.480 --> 09:55:04.680
that is? Yeah it is multifaceted. There is more things for sure to it. One of

09:55:04.680 --> 09:55:09.120
the bigger things is the roles naturally don't play out that well for us.

09:55:09.120 --> 09:55:13.600
Right. Yeah and I would say between Jim and Loson they're both a bit passive

09:55:13.600 --> 09:55:16.560
by nature also as players and we're trying to develop Loson and have been

09:55:16.560 --> 09:55:20.200
for a while to be more of a playmaker, take more charge on the server, also

09:55:20.200 --> 09:55:24.040
for Ludwig for example the in-game leading position quite new to him. I

09:55:24.040 --> 09:55:28.840
I think it's extremely good on the technical side, creating strategies and being creative.

09:55:28.840 --> 09:55:32.720
But it's a different piece when you're on that stage game and there's a lot of pressure on you

09:55:32.720 --> 09:55:35.720
and you're up against A-picks or up against Kerrigan, right?

09:55:35.720 --> 09:55:41.720
Then we're asking the young guys to come and deliver, so that experience and the roles will take a bit more time.

09:55:41.720 --> 09:55:45.720
Sikron, this was extensive. A lot of good insights. Thank you for this and back to you.

09:56:52.120 --> 09:56:54.120
I

09:56:59.120 --> 09:57:01.120
Spend in the fucking bonkers

09:57:08.120 --> 09:57:10.620
I'm all you can shift motion boy

09:57:15.620 --> 09:57:20.400
Okay, but aim right a bit and keep going a bit down your I mean to the ceiling

09:57:22.120 --> 09:57:26.120
He's on the right of me, he's on the right of me.

09:57:26.120 --> 09:57:28.120
Okay, okay, okay, so we have to go right?

09:57:28.120 --> 09:57:30.120
Go left, go left.

09:57:30.120 --> 09:57:32.120
Right, okay, see me, see me, shh.

09:57:32.120 --> 09:57:34.120
Come down, come down, come down, come down.

09:57:34.120 --> 09:57:36.120
Come back, come back, come back, come back.

09:57:36.120 --> 09:57:38.120
He's left side left now, okay, he's left side.

09:57:38.120 --> 09:57:40.120
Inbound, inbound, inbound, inbound.

09:57:40.120 --> 09:57:42.120
More, more, more, more, more, more.

09:57:42.120 --> 09:57:44.120
Okay, stop.

09:57:44.120 --> 09:57:46.120
GVF, you found the bomb.

09:57:46.120 --> 09:57:48.120
What are you doing here, Ian?

09:57:48.120 --> 09:57:53.120
We're going to go right now, then we're going to cross the left, right now.

09:58:03.120 --> 09:58:05.120
Just push left, just push left, don't move the house.

09:58:05.120 --> 09:58:07.120
Press left, don't move the house.

09:58:13.120 --> 09:58:15.120
You have to stop over there.

09:58:45.120 --> 09:58:46.120
Let's go!

09:58:47.120 --> 09:58:48.120
Aim down! Aim down!

09:58:48.120 --> 09:58:49.120
Match down!

09:58:49.120 --> 09:58:50.120
Elota down!

09:58:50.120 --> 09:58:51.120
Right!

09:58:51.120 --> 09:58:52.120
Get the-

09:58:52.120 --> 09:58:54.120
Bro, it killed me bro!

09:58:54.120 --> 09:58:55.120
Bro, it's not easy Adam!

09:58:55.120 --> 09:58:56.120
What's going on?

09:58:56.120 --> 09:58:57.120
Get Adam.

09:58:57.120 --> 09:58:58.120
I don't know.

09:58:58.120 --> 09:59:00.120
What is the sensitivity to kill him?

09:59:00.120 --> 09:59:01.120
When Jim is here...

09:59:01.120 --> 09:59:02.120
When Jim is here to write this...

09:59:02.120 --> 09:59:03.120
Go hit him too!

09:59:03.120 --> 09:59:05.120
I cannot hear anything!

09:59:05.120 --> 09:59:06.120
I got a bomb!

09:59:06.120 --> 09:59:07.120
Can I get a bomb?

09:59:07.120 --> 09:59:08.120
I got a bomb!

09:59:08.120 --> 09:59:09.120
This is the bomb, isn't it?

09:59:09.120 --> 09:59:10.120
No!

09:59:10.120 --> 09:59:11.120
No!

09:59:11.120 --> 09:59:13.120
Is it 10 on the left?

09:59:13.120 --> 09:59:14.120
It's 10.

09:59:44.120 --> 09:59:47.120
He's not going to the bomb, he's going to the bomb!

09:59:47.120 --> 09:59:48.120
He's not going to the bomb!

09:59:48.120 --> 09:59:49.120
Where's the bomb?

09:59:49.120 --> 09:59:50.120
There you go!

09:59:50.120 --> 09:59:51.120
Go, go, go!

09:59:51.120 --> 09:59:53.120
He stopped the piercing!

09:59:53.120 --> 09:59:54.120
No, shoot, shoot, shoot!

09:59:54.120 --> 09:59:55.120
He's going to...

09:59:55.120 --> 09:59:56.120
No, no, no!

09:59:56.120 --> 09:59:57.120
No, no, no!

09:59:57.120 --> 09:59:58.120
What's this guy, man?

09:59:58.120 --> 09:59:59.120
Who is this?

09:59:59.120 --> 10:00:00.120
Stop!

10:00:00.120 --> 10:00:01.120
Go, go, go!

10:00:01.120 --> 10:00:04.120
I don't know what this guy is, bro!

10:00:04.120 --> 10:00:07.120
It's no liquid, you don't have to hear it!

10:00:11.120 --> 10:00:13.120
Nice, take a check, take a check.

10:00:13.120 --> 10:00:15.120
I don't know AK!

10:00:15.120 --> 10:00:17.120
Oh no, you're not.

10:00:17.120 --> 10:00:19.120
He's close to me.

10:00:19.120 --> 10:00:21.120
Left side, left side, left side.

10:00:21.120 --> 10:00:23.120
Left side, no, no, no, no.

10:00:23.120 --> 10:00:25.120
Left side, left side.

10:00:25.120 --> 10:00:27.120
With your aim.

10:00:27.120 --> 10:00:29.120
With your buster.

10:00:29.120 --> 10:00:31.120
Go back.

10:00:31.120 --> 10:00:33.120
Go back, he's close here.

10:00:33.120 --> 10:00:35.120
A bit closer, a bit better.

10:00:35.120 --> 10:00:37.120
A bit better.

10:00:37.120 --> 10:00:39.120
I'm not going to do anything.

10:00:39.120 --> 10:00:41.120
You're on your own.

10:00:41.120 --> 10:00:43.120
Let's go, let's go.

10:00:43.120 --> 10:00:45.120
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

10:00:45.120 --> 10:00:47.120
Up, up, up.

10:00:47.120 --> 10:00:49.120
Okay, wait, wait.

10:00:49.120 --> 10:00:51.120
Left, left, left, left.

10:00:51.120 --> 10:00:53.120
He's really close, eh?

10:00:53.120 --> 10:00:55.120
No.

10:00:55.120 --> 10:00:57.120
Let's go!

10:00:57.120 --> 10:00:59.120
Let's go!

10:00:59.120 --> 10:01:01.120
I have fucking gloves.

10:01:01.120 --> 10:01:03.120
Okay, okay.

10:01:03.120 --> 10:01:05.120
Come back, come back, come back.

10:01:05.120 --> 10:01:07.120
Okay.

10:01:07.120 --> 10:01:09.120
Come on, come on.

10:01:39.120 --> 10:01:45.120
I think they've run out of speed bro!

10:01:45.120 --> 10:01:47.120
How many HP?

10:01:47.120 --> 10:01:50.120
Bro, I get it you're not fucking DGF man!

10:01:50.120 --> 10:01:51.120
I have no sound!

10:01:51.120 --> 10:01:53.120
We don't need HP, we don't know.

10:01:58.120 --> 10:01:59.120
He's planting!

10:01:59.120 --> 10:02:00.120
Press us, press us!

10:02:00.120 --> 10:02:02.120
Press us, press us!

10:02:02.120 --> 10:02:03.120
Let's come back.

10:02:03.120 --> 10:02:04.120
Get bit up.

10:02:04.120 --> 10:02:06.120
Get bit upset, get bit upset, get bit upset.

10:02:06.120 --> 10:02:07.720
I'm gonna hit one.

10:02:07.720 --> 10:02:09.220
180, 180.

10:02:09.220 --> 10:02:10.720
Bo, I don't know!

10:02:10.720 --> 10:02:12.220
Bo, I don't know!

10:02:12.220 --> 10:02:13.720
You're a big laugh.

10:02:13.720 --> 10:02:15.220
You're a fool behind him.

10:02:15.220 --> 10:02:17.220
And you just heard Bando be hitting.

10:02:17.220 --> 10:02:19.220
Ha ha ha ha!

10:02:19.220 --> 10:02:21.220
Take a bomb, man.

10:02:21.220 --> 10:02:22.720
Wait, look at that.

10:02:22.720 --> 10:02:23.720
Oh, that was a little quick, huh?

10:02:23.720 --> 10:02:25.220
Or do I buy something funny?

10:02:25.220 --> 10:02:26.720
I don't know how much money you have for it.

10:02:26.720 --> 10:02:27.520
Buy a...

10:02:27.520 --> 10:02:28.020
Buy a...

10:02:28.020 --> 10:02:29.020
Why am I at Scouting?

10:02:29.020 --> 10:02:30.020
I'm at Scouting.

10:02:30.020 --> 10:02:31.020
No!

10:02:31.020 --> 10:02:32.320
No, it's at it.

10:02:32.320 --> 10:02:33.020
Buy it.

10:02:33.020 --> 10:02:34.020
Buy it, yeah.

10:02:34.020 --> 10:02:35.020
Yeah.

10:02:35.020 --> 10:02:36.140
Fucking salty crazy.

10:02:36.140 --> 10:02:38.140
Oh, we call side to side.

10:02:38.140 --> 10:02:39.640
Call straight, call straight.

10:02:39.640 --> 10:02:40.640
Am I to the big?

10:02:40.640 --> 10:02:41.640
Usually, call for my side.

10:02:41.640 --> 10:02:42.640
Nice, nice, nice.

10:02:42.640 --> 10:02:43.640
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

10:02:43.640 --> 10:02:44.640
Nice.

10:02:44.640 --> 10:02:45.640
Am I a bit low?

10:02:45.640 --> 10:02:46.640
Nice.

10:02:46.640 --> 10:02:47.640
Let's keep going.

10:02:47.640 --> 10:02:48.640
Am I low?

10:02:48.640 --> 10:02:49.640
You call for my side?

10:02:49.640 --> 10:02:50.640
Have you come from the left?

10:02:50.640 --> 10:02:51.640
Okay, okay, okay.

10:02:51.640 --> 10:02:52.640
Move left, move left.

10:02:52.640 --> 10:02:53.640
No, no, no, no, no, no.

10:02:53.640 --> 10:02:54.640
No, no, no, no, no, no.

10:02:54.640 --> 10:02:55.640
Bro, he's not.

10:02:55.640 --> 10:02:56.640
He's insane.

10:02:56.640 --> 10:02:57.640
He's insane.

10:02:57.640 --> 10:02:58.640
He's insane.

10:02:58.640 --> 10:02:59.640
Hold on, hold on.

10:02:59.640 --> 10:03:00.640
We're not going to communicate.

10:03:00.640 --> 10:03:01.640
He's not.

10:03:01.640 --> 10:03:02.640
He's not.

10:03:02.640 --> 10:03:03.640
He's not.

10:03:03.640 --> 10:03:05.260
He's looking, I saw him looking.

10:03:05.260 --> 10:03:06.760
Today, stop him with the call.

10:03:06.760 --> 10:03:07.260
Bro!

10:03:07.260 --> 10:03:08.260
That's what he's talking about.

10:03:08.260 --> 10:03:09.900
He is insane.

10:03:09.900 --> 10:03:12.900
What is this math, man?

10:03:12.900 --> 10:03:15.100
Next, I'd like to refer to the article 4c.

10:03:18.340 --> 10:03:21.860
The APL catering menu from Saturday 4th of October,

10:03:21.860 --> 10:03:23.740
which reads as follows.

10:03:23.740 --> 10:03:27.860
German sauerkraut, British with boiled potatoes,

10:03:27.860 --> 10:03:30.900
or Turkish dinner kebab with crispy caramelized

10:03:30.900 --> 10:03:34.340
Dump slices served with a delicious garlic and cocktail sauce.

10:03:34.340 --> 10:03:37.140
Fresh vegetables wrapped in a crisp handmade broom.

10:03:37.980 --> 10:03:43.020
Gentlemen of the jury, would you be surprised if I told you Mr. Bertil opted for the British...

10:03:43.020 --> 10:03:44.020
Racism!

10:03:44.740 --> 10:03:45.340
You'll see!

10:03:45.340 --> 10:03:48.420
...Chills, Auntie. Let me flush you out first, then you headshot.

10:03:49.340 --> 10:03:53.900
British boiled potatoes with minus seasoning over our sacred kebab.

10:03:53.900 --> 10:03:54.700
What?

10:03:54.700 --> 10:03:58.340
Finally, I present Article 5A, The Racist Manifesto,

10:03:58.340 --> 10:04:00.500
published on Mr. Bertil's Twitter account.

10:04:00.900 --> 10:04:07.060
Fisher's Playground 2 team lineup has aged really well. Sure, no vitality, spirit or mouse, but I'm

10:04:07.060 --> 10:04:12.020
keen to see the Mongols back in action. Fury are looking like an early call for a major dark horse.

10:04:13.620 --> 10:04:19.380
Faze showing a bit of life since the Jacob edition and of course Falcons unrealized potential.

10:04:19.380 --> 10:04:24.900
Gentlemen of the jury, in a tweet about exciting teams not only did this man not even mention

10:04:24.900 --> 10:04:28.100
Aurora, he mentioned Faze and Mouse.

10:04:30.900 --> 10:04:32.100
Please, please, please.

10:04:32.100 --> 10:04:32.940
Races.

10:04:36.440 --> 10:04:37.940
I know what I've done is wrong.

10:04:39.380 --> 10:04:42.500
Not mentioning Aurora after I mentioned Miles.

10:04:43.660 --> 10:04:45.400
It's an oversight.

10:04:45.400 --> 10:04:49.700
After all, given your talent, your potential,

10:04:49.700 --> 10:04:53.860
your absolute gift for shitting the bed,

10:04:53.860 --> 10:04:56.380
I'm gonna call you Turkish Miles.

10:04:56.380 --> 10:05:05.380
Yelte, you are the team of the bird ship, you stand thanks to mass notification, 170 DMs and 70 long quotes. Take him away!

10:05:05.380 --> 10:05:13.380
You're oralists! You're absolutely oralists! You're a joint! You're Turkish now! You're payup champion!

10:05:13.380 --> 10:05:18.380
Bring in the next racist. Now you got some explaining to do.

10:05:18.380 --> 10:05:28.900
Well, in the battle between Maus and Turkish Maus, it's Maus coming out ahead.

10:05:28.900 --> 10:05:33.820
They're in map up right now, they just ran away with Dust 2, unlikely, but they did it.

10:05:33.820 --> 10:05:34.820
We all saw it.

10:05:34.820 --> 10:05:40.620
Now we're on Mirage, it's Maus' pick in this series, winner advancing into those playoffs

10:05:40.620 --> 10:05:47.100
as a guarantee going on to face Furia to decide whether it's Semis or Quarters.

10:05:47.100 --> 10:05:51.980
Yeah, nothing less or less than losing every gun round in the previous map.

10:05:51.980 --> 10:05:56.460
So Aurora, the bar is low. Can they step up here on Malz's map pick?

10:05:56.460 --> 10:05:59.540
It was a devastating loss over on Dust2.

10:05:59.540 --> 10:06:01.540
And now we get a Malz home turf.

10:06:01.540 --> 10:06:05.540
Sure, not their 100% win rate overpass, but certainly no complaints.

10:06:05.540 --> 10:06:09.180
Mirage has been solid for this team, and they're looking solid today.

10:06:09.180 --> 10:06:13.100
That's for sure. Brolin and Torschey lights out on that first map.

10:06:13.580 --> 10:06:16.940
And Spinks was there as well. No complaints for Malz.

10:06:17.100 --> 10:06:19.640
We're getting into the pistol now. T-Side starts.

10:06:20.240 --> 10:06:24.440
Oh, we didn't really get to see from the tail end of Dust.

10:06:26.500 --> 10:06:28.340
I think it was just a nice feeling for Maus.

10:06:28.340 --> 10:06:32.140
Seeing a feeling like anyone really could step up when it mattered.

10:06:34.700 --> 10:06:35.840
Let's see if that can...

10:06:37.640 --> 10:06:40.540
keep being the case as we head on to Mirage.

10:06:40.840 --> 10:06:42.740
It's a T-Side start for Maus.

10:06:43.200 --> 10:06:46.140
And a chance to set the tone on the back of a B hit.

10:06:47.100 --> 10:06:52.100
Magic is waiting. It does have a need for this. Nice angle.

10:06:54.100 --> 10:06:56.100
Three players here as well.

10:07:02.100 --> 10:07:08.100
Here comes the hit. Flashes go in, but it's the Wokadia Dolboretta's able to claim first blood.

10:07:08.100 --> 10:07:11.100
Bit of help now from Magic and Zantares as well.

10:07:11.100 --> 10:07:15.100
Rotate starts to arrive, but Brolin's cut down the guys in the site.

10:07:17.100 --> 10:07:24.460
Oh careful both spotted though big man on campus Brolin putting two down and think as well

10:07:24.980 --> 10:07:30.820
Bola's looking to finish the job. He's low health new mag and course. He swings out for a third. This one is done

10:07:31.580 --> 10:07:37.340
Felt like Aurora had the perfect setup and the perfect counter and now walks it has lost track of his opponents

10:07:37.860 --> 10:07:44.780
Shopper I think he really thinks Brolin's bench. He has no clue where Brolin's gotten off to you can't believe this

10:07:44.780 --> 10:07:53.840
Brolin his final trick he disappears he's gonna be playing with ghosts this

10:07:53.840 --> 10:08:00.860
isn't a final why is Brolin disappeared he's lost him I can't believe

10:08:00.860 --> 10:08:08.860
boxing's driving himself insane he's behind you

10:08:08.860 --> 10:08:15.300
sick around from Brolin bailed mouths out once again many such cases if you caught

10:08:15.300 --> 10:08:28.780
dust that is a 2v4 out of mouths in a pre-planned situation I was just thinking

10:08:28.780 --> 10:08:35.940
up how to talk about how nice that said it was from a ruler right having the

10:08:35.940 --> 10:08:42.940
Good reposition indeed. You know so many times you see a B-Stack and just three players on our back side, mid side, front side, whatever.

10:08:42.940 --> 10:08:44.940
That was well thought out by Aurora. They had a good setup.

10:08:44.940 --> 10:08:46.940
They had with Cardi under with a Julli's Matcha.

10:08:46.940 --> 10:08:50.940
Spotting on an off angle and an H-Heing.

10:08:50.940 --> 10:08:56.940
They got a lot of damage from that as well. It felt like a perfect storm for Aurora, but Brolin activates.

10:09:05.940 --> 10:09:13.580
And now a full- oh, Poland!

10:09:13.580 --> 10:09:17.020
Is that a new trick?

10:09:17.020 --> 10:09:24.980
Oh, you can see Molly's stairs anyway, so it's fine, and no one's here.

10:09:24.980 --> 10:09:27.980
Spinks cut him down in the middle, soft light, smoke pushed him to the side, and that is

10:09:27.980 --> 10:09:34.980
mouths converting in this round.

10:09:57.980 --> 10:10:07.460
getting there squeaky clean to five alive at the end of it sure you're gonna

10:10:07.460 --> 10:10:11.700
have to do the remnants of this four-spider worry about but now seem

10:10:11.700 --> 10:10:14.700
equipped for the job

10:10:27.980 --> 10:10:34.440
And it sounds like Berlin wants more of the same.

10:10:34.440 --> 10:10:35.440
Another serving.

10:10:35.440 --> 10:10:47.460
Now it's season middle with a couple of smokes.

10:10:47.460 --> 10:10:57.060
I feel for Soul Finders game, he was solo B, dust 2, whole game, and now, once again,

10:10:57.060 --> 10:11:04.060
away on another execute from Maus.

10:11:04.060 --> 10:11:09.300
And everybody get out with his one, still burns alive after the fact.

10:11:09.300 --> 10:11:13.780
Now, will at least stop this spillover into A, even though the site was open and a hell

10:11:13.780 --> 10:11:17.540
of a deep to follow it up, Spinks dead out in top mid.

10:11:17.540 --> 10:11:20.900
Hold on a second, Aurora might be onto something here.

10:11:20.900 --> 10:11:27.000
I'm only having that advantage, but just the idea that because Mao's got blocked in at the ramp

10:11:27.300 --> 10:11:29.740
They weren't able to follow through with that a here

10:11:29.740 --> 10:11:36.680
They're a little slower to the punch the bombs not down you got time to embark upon this retake an attack from Woxic

10:11:36.680 --> 10:11:38.680
Only sweetens the deal

10:11:38.680 --> 10:11:45.680
to be honest, and he hands over

10:11:45.680 --> 10:11:47.680
Zantara's the AK trying to set

10:11:47.680 --> 10:11:49.680
up his fallen star from that

10:11:49.680 --> 10:11:52.680
previous map.

10:11:52.680 --> 10:11:54.680
Cardi even goes on to find a

10:11:54.680 --> 10:11:56.680
double so. Well contained there

10:11:56.680 --> 10:11:58.680
from Aurora. As you said, now

10:11:58.680 --> 10:12:00.680
is not being able to scale.

10:12:00.680 --> 10:12:02.680
So we're going to go ahead and

10:12:02.680 --> 10:12:04.680
go ahead and go ahead and go

10:12:04.680 --> 10:12:06.680
ahead and go ahead and go

10:12:06.680 --> 10:12:13.160
As you said, Mao's not being able to scale after that messy start from soul flight, bought

10:12:13.160 --> 10:12:25.120
enough time for his team to get in position.

10:12:25.120 --> 10:12:30.120
Early round here gives Aurora the AWP.

10:12:30.120 --> 10:12:49.120
Now Woxic gets to don his straight away, no open sight for the Mauer Squad.

10:12:49.120 --> 10:12:56.120
Fawzi passing for Woxic, what we're being locked out of mid by the molly, but still has this sightline into lower.

10:12:56.120 --> 10:12:58.720
You know as his teammates watching the top mid control

10:13:06.520 --> 10:13:08.520
Santar is getting curious

10:13:09.320 --> 10:13:12.800
It's an old school set up over towards mid Santar is watching lower

10:13:13.720 --> 10:13:16.720
Rest of the gang holding on a top middle and now trying to

10:13:17.400 --> 10:13:19.400
Take more space on the back of this

10:13:19.840 --> 10:13:22.680
Flash play in the top mid Brolin is a dead man

10:13:22.680 --> 10:13:26.680
They had a proper line up for that and everything. Nice move from Aurora.

10:13:26.680 --> 10:13:30.680
He's looming. Jimmy might fall over here at ramp, but here's the rest of the hit for Maus.

10:13:30.680 --> 10:13:35.680
There's one guy here, it's Maja, all alone. Back of the site, they nearly line up for him.

10:13:35.680 --> 10:13:42.680
It's a good clear out of exertion. Round still very much on as Maus will have a bomb plant in the 3 on 4.

10:13:42.680 --> 10:13:47.680
These are the kind of rounds that Maus pull out of nowhere, but they've lost another man and it's been left to exertion.

10:13:47.680 --> 10:13:52.680
one versus three ace clutch required and they're just toying with him right now

10:13:52.680 --> 10:13:57.480
waiting for this flank to sneak in. Was he spotted? Not enough. He's gonna find a

10:13:57.480 --> 10:14:05.520
headshot and keep this game alive from Aurora up to a second now. Big closer

10:14:05.520 --> 10:14:11.080
here from Zantares on that top mid flash push to shutting down the clutch

10:14:11.080 --> 10:14:15.160
in the post-plot mouths get a bit of money, but not enough to buy back in.

10:14:21.560 --> 10:14:23.560
Just already a bit more to look forward to here.

10:14:23.560 --> 10:14:26.440
Santar is matching his kill count from the first map.

10:14:32.840 --> 10:14:34.600
I mean, nearly the same for Wiccardia.

10:14:36.600 --> 10:14:40.120
Hold in some promise the idea that you could get those two reactivated.

10:14:40.120 --> 10:14:44.120
showing a bit of resilience, that's what would be required.

10:14:44.120 --> 10:14:48.120
CT sides have always been stronger for Aurora,

10:14:48.120 --> 10:14:53.120
T sides where the wheels often come off and the leading has been questioned

10:14:53.120 --> 10:14:58.120
and we've even seen the players kind of doubt each other in their own moves at times.

10:15:00.120 --> 10:15:04.120
But a flow state Aurora CT side is always a lot of fun.

10:15:04.120 --> 10:15:12.440
a lot of fun. Block 6 or Santaris with AK. It can be hard to stop when they pick up

10:15:12.440 --> 10:15:13.440
some speed.

10:15:34.120 --> 10:15:39.720
getting past this this be hold isn't gonna be super easy either you still got

10:15:39.720 --> 10:15:45.360
utl for both matchup and wakadia they try and take the pace out of this there's

10:15:45.360 --> 10:15:49.160
only 35 seconds left so the push coming in now there's that Molly you're gonna

10:15:49.160 --> 10:15:55.360
split the push in half and makes it real easy for match up out of the van

10:15:57.440 --> 10:16:02.520
convincing shut down well-held and Aurora move into the lead all right

10:16:02.520 --> 10:16:03.700
Everyone's having a moment here.

10:16:03.700 --> 10:16:05.820
Magic triple kill, locked down.

10:16:05.820 --> 10:16:07.720
Talked about the other two.

10:16:07.720 --> 10:16:10.900
Waiting for Waxxxorp to get a fair fight.

10:16:11.900 --> 10:16:13.680
But no one letting them in right now

10:16:13.680 --> 10:16:15.560
on a three rounds in a row.

10:16:16.760 --> 10:16:18.000
Cleanest one yet.

10:16:22.260 --> 10:16:23.760
Good sign of things to come.

10:16:23.760 --> 10:16:42.720
I was keeping a standard going back to this A-Execute, looking to punish Shelflight.

10:16:42.720 --> 10:16:45.240
One kill would go a long way here, but he's not even going to get that.

10:16:45.240 --> 10:16:48.320
They take space back after spawn control.

10:16:48.320 --> 10:16:51.680
Spinks late on this lurk as well, he's going to cause a lot of problems.

10:16:51.680 --> 10:16:53.280
That's a crazy break for Woxic.

10:16:53.280 --> 10:16:58.720
He is in the open and Mal's a push them out, but Saver's not guaranteed with Spinks in this position.

10:16:58.720 --> 10:17:01.360
He's not even going to activate. He doesn't need to.

10:17:06.000 --> 10:17:07.360
Playing to deny.

10:17:09.680 --> 10:17:11.200
And deny he shall.

10:17:11.200 --> 10:17:29.440
I don't know how far Spinks takes this.

10:17:29.440 --> 10:17:32.720
He has a habit of pulling them towards him.

10:17:32.720 --> 10:17:59.960
That'll be it for now.

10:17:59.960 --> 10:18:05.760
This is the position Solfly played in his previous team prior to joining Aurora as the

10:18:05.760 --> 10:18:12.640
A-Anchor on Mirage, but it doesn't feel like he's been given a lot of support yet in this

10:18:12.640 --> 10:18:13.640
CT side.

10:18:13.640 --> 10:18:16.200
This time walks, it comes over with the AWP.

10:18:16.200 --> 10:18:19.400
So another player to assist on an A-hit.

10:18:19.400 --> 10:18:26.640
I mean, they were typing their positions in Facebook chat, you know, I play B, Antares

10:18:26.640 --> 10:18:29.440
I play mid, Soulfly, I play alone.

10:18:29.440 --> 10:18:34.480
Feels like he's always been in these solo holds, man.

10:18:34.480 --> 10:18:39.540
And that last one, unable to get a kill, just left the A site wide open.

10:18:39.540 --> 10:18:46.280
So finally giving him a bit more support here in this one.

10:18:46.280 --> 10:18:50.920
Two extra players over towards this A site of the map.

10:18:50.920 --> 10:18:52.720
First kill comes in over towards mid.

10:18:52.720 --> 10:18:53.720
That's Wakati removed.

10:18:53.720 --> 10:18:57.280
Flash plays for Soulfly, he's got a right pass, Jimmy.

10:18:57.280 --> 10:18:59.040
He's so blind.

10:18:59.040 --> 10:19:00.840
They were both blind.

10:19:00.840 --> 10:19:02.680
No true anti-flash there.

10:19:02.680 --> 10:19:06.760
Caught out as well, Tantara couldn't find that angle.

10:19:07.640 --> 10:19:09.080
I'm sure you could reblock ramp,

10:19:09.080 --> 10:19:10.600
but this is a five on two,

10:19:10.600 --> 10:19:14.120
but Maus are just slowly squeezing.

10:19:14.120 --> 10:19:15.600
Putting that bomb back up in palace.

10:19:15.600 --> 10:19:17.000
Two players to swing our balcony.

10:19:17.000 --> 10:19:20.440
It's impossible for Woxic to survive in this position.

10:19:20.440 --> 10:19:21.560
They will trade it.

10:19:23.720 --> 10:19:31.720
So, as time ticks down, mouths get closer. Nice connection, but there is that swing.

10:19:31.720 --> 10:19:36.720
Guaranteed round here for mouths as Madras left in the bee apartments.

10:19:36.720 --> 10:19:43.720
And mouths have gone back to this A site and it has treated them very nicely in these last couple of rounds.

10:19:53.720 --> 10:20:18.960
He just turned off the anti-flash and luckily no one got punished.

10:20:18.960 --> 10:20:25.960
is a very tough game right now for Aurora to solve on the CT side.

10:20:25.960 --> 10:20:31.960
It's one of the difficulties of having your in-game leader play B in a game like this,

10:20:31.960 --> 10:20:37.960
which obviously is extremely common as you in-game leader is typically the least mechanically

10:20:37.960 --> 10:20:42.560
skilled player, but Magic doesn't really know what's going on.

10:20:42.560 --> 10:20:45.480
He doesn't have a great read of the game right now.

10:20:45.480 --> 10:20:50.840
the coaches can have to step up here for Aurora because I just not really seen the majority

10:20:50.840 --> 10:20:56.720
of these rounds. They left to save but left to hold the apps jump spot while miles just

10:20:56.720 --> 10:21:12.040
run constant a executes and lurks pinks out under

10:21:12.040 --> 10:21:17.880
interesting change on the horizon for Aurora? They seem to believe the answer

10:21:17.880 --> 10:21:21.360
lies in a double orb.

10:21:21.360 --> 10:21:43.780
I'll miss shop for wikaria gives it a run out in the apartments comes up shy of the

10:21:43.780 --> 10:21:55.300
opening. You don't know who's all just fired if you mouse know that wikati is

10:21:55.300 --> 10:22:01.660
often the other guy over the wards be so do you call the double-orp investment

10:22:04.100 --> 10:22:08.100
again they've got a good foothold over middle they're set up back in the T spawn

10:22:08.100 --> 10:22:15.220
it could just be a rinse and repeat of this a split I mean even then it's not

10:22:15.220 --> 10:22:18.900
really been a split per se and a lot of these rounds you just kind of been winning

10:22:18.900 --> 10:22:22.620
fights separately on a and mid

10:22:22.620 --> 10:22:38.620
Nice pop.

10:22:38.620 --> 10:22:45.300
So she's still making middle, seems scary with two smokes as well from top middle.

10:22:45.300 --> 10:22:49.620
Dwarf walks into his position, so flying an unorthodox one but he still gets cleared.

10:22:49.620 --> 10:22:52.660
I think they saw him, Jimmy gets down the ladder in time.

10:22:52.660 --> 10:22:55.840
Logsid just has to go beast mode and he has to do it solo.

10:22:55.840 --> 10:22:58.500
Jimmy hitting hard in this round.

10:22:58.500 --> 10:23:00.860
So one guy who didn't really need to play back on dust

10:23:00.860 --> 10:23:02.540
in his positions.

10:23:02.540 --> 10:23:05.660
I've just heard this all burn in the molly as well.

10:23:05.660 --> 10:23:07.500
I almost feel like you do want to chase this.

10:23:07.500 --> 10:23:08.460
You want to try and remove it.

10:23:08.460 --> 10:23:10.940
You've done damage on Wakadia,

10:23:10.940 --> 10:23:13.980
feeling some pressure as this is the big ticket item

10:23:13.980 --> 10:23:15.740
but Wakadia doesn't want to give it up.

10:23:15.740 --> 10:23:17.900
Can they get out with the AWP for now?

10:23:19.620 --> 10:23:22.220
Brolin is going for it.

10:23:24.220 --> 10:23:26.020
You won't be ready for him here.

10:23:28.020 --> 10:23:30.020
Oh, there you go, a barrel.

10:23:32.020 --> 10:23:35.820
Taken out of the round. Brolin with the hunt. That is a punishing one.

10:23:41.820 --> 10:23:49.220
And it feels like more of what we saw on Dust2, which is, you know, early game Aurora get involved, win an eco.

10:23:49.620 --> 10:23:56.740
get some you know they want to go around they got miles on each again but now

10:23:56.740 --> 10:24:01.740
miles are massing a massive streak and these rounds aren't exactly getting

10:24:01.740 --> 10:24:04.140
close

10:24:04.940 --> 10:24:09.940
do Aurora have anything to show here on the CT side again another gamble on B you're

10:24:09.940 --> 10:24:13.220
even kind of seeing the signs of the pressure are you you compare it a bit to

10:24:13.220 --> 10:24:17.540
the dust to that we just saw and Aurora put in a kind of surprising amount

10:24:17.540 --> 10:24:27.060
of money here hoping to get something done with a stack again soul fly alone on the A

10:24:27.060 --> 10:24:32.260
side of the map and well mouse that's music to their ears they even love this a bombsite

10:24:32.260 --> 10:24:39.940
yeah he's had no help and another gamble by nature a risk but it's just a roar I kind of

10:24:39.940 --> 10:24:45.060
feel it eventually they've got to come be you can't actually just go away every round can they

10:24:45.060 --> 10:24:52.700
watch them. Mom has been left back in spawn, so everyone's going to tighten up a little

10:24:52.700 --> 10:24:55.380
bit here because they know they've already won the round. There's no reason to give

10:24:55.380 --> 10:24:56.380
it away.

10:24:56.380 --> 10:25:09.620
Some damage done, but Aurora just don't have any position to contest. Mom can go down

10:25:09.620 --> 10:25:11.620
that's the way it looks.

10:25:11.620 --> 10:25:12.620
I don't know if you've ever

10:25:12.620 --> 10:25:14.120
seen a man who's playing

10:25:14.120 --> 10:25:15.780
very safe here to ensure that.

10:25:15.780 --> 10:25:16.780
Even just refusing to give

10:25:16.780 --> 10:25:18.220
them a case extension pulls all

10:25:18.220 --> 10:25:18.620
the way back.

10:25:18.620 --> 10:25:20.620
Nice to see.

10:25:20.620 --> 10:25:22.620
Methodical Mous.

10:25:27.620 --> 10:25:30.620
With a six round T side.

10:25:30.620 --> 10:25:31.620
And I did. I like the Brolin

10:25:31.620 --> 10:25:32.620
light hasn't over complicated

10:25:32.620 --> 10:25:33.620
things in this, you know, I

10:25:33.620 --> 10:25:34.620
think it would have been

10:25:34.620 --> 10:25:36.620
easy to like imagine is fully

10:25:36.620 --> 10:25:37.620
expecting him at some point to

10:25:37.620 --> 10:25:40.820
I think I'm at some point to kind of vary this up a little bit.

10:25:42.620 --> 10:25:45.720
But for the most part, if you're Brolin, if you're Mouse,

10:25:45.720 --> 10:25:48.020
you're feeling like they can't stop the A-egg-Zek.

10:25:48.020 --> 10:25:51.120
And so, till they can, you know, why bother exploring anywhere else?

10:25:51.120 --> 10:25:53.720
I want to see Aurora actually can test for middle early round

10:25:53.720 --> 10:25:55.620
because Mouse would never put numbers there.

10:25:55.620 --> 10:25:58.420
It feels like it's either Sphinx or it's Xersion.

10:25:58.420 --> 10:26:00.120
Yeah, just kind of on the solo.

10:26:00.120 --> 10:26:04.020
Top or bottom and just faking out and causing a lot of chaos there.

10:26:04.020 --> 10:26:07.300
And Aurora, their one really good round,

10:26:07.300 --> 10:26:09.900
came off the back of Xantara's McCarty and Woxic,

10:26:09.900 --> 10:26:11.660
full taking middle, flashing top mid,

10:26:11.660 --> 10:26:14.020
clearing it, going back to the B site.

10:26:14.020 --> 10:26:17.040
So I'd like to see Aurora contest for middle again,

10:26:17.040 --> 10:26:18.900
because Maus have, for the most part,

10:26:18.900 --> 10:26:21.460
not been putting numbers there.

10:26:22.620 --> 10:26:25.420
And once again, look at this, five players.

10:26:25.420 --> 10:26:28.580
I wouldn't mind like a creep through the lower tunnels,

10:26:28.580 --> 10:26:30.020
or to go fight for that mid.

10:26:30.020 --> 10:26:31.700
Yeah, okay, they've taken the mid control.

10:26:31.700 --> 10:26:32.860
Mid take.

10:26:32.860 --> 10:26:36.440
to mouse here so do they escalate the pace

10:26:36.440 --> 10:26:39.680
might be tempting

10:26:39.680 --> 10:26:43.800
smoke comes down and they double made balcony they're going

10:26:43.800 --> 10:26:46.000
in through the utile

10:26:46.000 --> 10:26:48.240
well exertion call on the ladder

10:26:48.240 --> 10:26:50.760
start for walk stick finishes the job

10:26:50.760 --> 10:26:52.960
on that palace here

10:26:52.960 --> 10:26:57.640
Berlin and torchi will get a kill back a piece

10:26:57.640 --> 10:27:01.520
no it's the backstab from wakadia that really should safeguard this

10:27:01.520 --> 10:27:06.880
they'll be aware. Good angle for Makaria, already wide and bomb loose.

10:27:12.480 --> 10:27:17.520
Lovely stuff from Aurora, they go back to mid control, they take it fully off of mouse, nobody

10:27:17.520 --> 10:27:23.840
home, frees up, very quick rotation, Soulfly has support on that A site. Aurora trade out well.

10:27:23.840 --> 10:27:29.120
Some mechanical errors for mouse, exertion getting stuck on the ladder and not being

10:27:29.120 --> 10:27:36.760
able to drop in, but also there's a lot going on on a util flashes landing. Either way, well

10:27:36.760 --> 10:27:48.600
capitalized on by Aurora in this site here. So where do we go from there?

10:27:48.600 --> 10:27:53.680
Oh yeah, you know, finally finding the solution is actually now just kind of poised you more

10:27:53.680 --> 10:27:58.420
questions okay we finally stopped one of their eight hits but now what do mouths

10:27:58.420 --> 10:28:06.960
do make a far heavier into mid or it's often just been one guy lurking here it's

10:28:06.960 --> 10:28:14.600
the entire team this time around or a never really in a position to contest

10:28:14.600 --> 10:28:20.200
for middle in this one they've just got to hang around on the far reaches of

10:28:20.200 --> 10:28:25.560
A and B of this boost, the last thing anyone is ready for is this kind of angle.

10:28:25.560 --> 10:28:29.880
Oh, you really smoked it. That's a shame.

10:28:32.600 --> 10:28:34.200
Could have been...

10:28:35.320 --> 10:28:37.400
5G4 in from ours.

10:28:37.400 --> 10:28:41.720
My god, he had low health, very aggressive play on his own in B apartments.

10:28:41.720 --> 10:28:45.400
But it is going to free up his whole team to play the other side of the map.

10:28:45.400 --> 10:28:49.400
Imagine just containing window, so this boost can only go so far.

10:28:50.200 --> 10:29:00.200
And mouse once again, old reliable A execute.

10:29:00.200 --> 10:29:01.200
The flank activates.

10:29:01.200 --> 10:29:11.480
And this push is just confirming your suspicions.

10:29:11.480 --> 10:29:14.440
They are going back to the A here.

10:29:14.440 --> 10:29:19.200
Bomb dropped over on the rampside and this is just a non-starter of a round for mouse.

10:29:19.200 --> 10:29:27.040
The change has been Aurora are doing something, they are taking space back, they are contesting

10:29:27.040 --> 10:29:33.160
an area of the map. It was middle in the prior and now a risky but high-value B-Apps

10:29:33.160 --> 10:29:40.280
purse that set Aurora up on the stack and shut the backdoor for Mao. So well done

10:29:40.280 --> 10:29:48.920
here from Aurora to recover the half and they could even find an even split.

10:29:48.920 --> 10:29:59.320
pretty much still in this game and series deciding map is nuke a map that has plagued

10:29:59.320 --> 10:30:05.760
both these teams this year so far miles yet to win it in 2026.

10:30:18.920 --> 10:30:28.120
I'm really curious what becomes of just this relentless onslaught over at A. It doesn't

10:30:28.120 --> 10:30:32.960
almost feel too obvious. You know, you can't go there anymore. Do you look elsewhere? What's

10:30:32.960 --> 10:30:36.660
it going to be for Maus?

10:30:36.660 --> 10:30:39.320
Bodies in towards the apartments.

10:30:39.320 --> 10:30:44.560
I haven't left looking out towards middle, but Aurora, they've been making moves in

10:30:44.560 --> 10:30:50.560
And these last few CT rounds, this time it's punished.

10:30:50.560 --> 10:30:53.240
Cardi and Xantara is dead first.

10:30:53.240 --> 10:30:57.360
It's a disaster for Aurora.

10:30:57.360 --> 10:30:59.760
And now Miles just sit back and let the round breathe.

10:30:59.760 --> 10:31:09.360
5v3 with all this time on the clock.

10:31:09.360 --> 10:31:14.000
And while a gamble would be lovely for Aurora, you also don't want to just give the whole

10:31:14.000 --> 10:31:18.500
map away let a lurk this is a team that love a lurk that someone in the

10:31:18.500 --> 10:31:23.620
back line spinks get through B so they're gonna stay active Aurora clearing

10:31:23.620 --> 10:31:30.580
middle that's something but it leaves them out of the bomb site so fly get a

10:31:30.580 --> 10:31:35.640
big flank it looks like and now it's announced their execute

10:31:35.640 --> 10:31:42.480
Woxic coming through knows heroic play has to be made if you are to win a round like this

10:31:42.480 --> 10:31:50.240
Woxic, hell of a way to get the full rolling, 5v5 and Woxic still looking for more, all

10:31:50.240 --> 10:31:54.980
the way to the triple box finally bought down, Brolin with a bomb plant and Maus stealing

10:31:54.980 --> 10:32:00.120
with a chance, that's just it, but I'm gonna get past Spinks, are they aware of

10:32:00.120 --> 10:32:08.400
this gap. Brolin has eyes on actually goes hunting goes searching and soul fly left is

10:32:08.400 --> 10:32:16.040
the lone hope for Aurora. Crossfire set up here. Brolin and Spinks hold on and Maus will

10:32:16.040 --> 10:32:22.280
go on to win out this first half edging ever closer to guaranteeing a spot in those playoffs

10:32:22.280 --> 10:32:27.720
but we're getting more fight out of Aurora. Can they shock a turn all around on Mirage?

10:33:00.120 --> 10:33:25.120
You have to understand how things are up here.

10:34:55.120 --> 10:34:58.520
Oh, I'm doing that job, who's that girl who I like to be?

10:34:58.520 --> 10:35:02.520
Oh, I'm doing that job, who's that girl who I like to be?

10:35:55.120 --> 10:36:00.080
winner takes themselves into the playoffs, quarters, or maybe even semis, either way

10:36:00.080 --> 10:36:06.120
a match v. Furia decides and right now Maus are the front runners after a ludicrous display

10:36:06.120 --> 10:36:12.320
on Dust2 and a solid T side on Mirage. Save to say Aurora are giving us more here on

10:36:12.320 --> 10:36:16.840
this second map of the series but they're still going to dig deep. This is Maus looking

10:36:16.840 --> 10:36:19.180
very comfortable on their go-to map.

10:36:28.120 --> 10:36:32.400
And now you're left feeling like you have the kind of easier half ahead of you.

10:36:32.600 --> 10:36:36.800
You've been some T-side struggles for Aurora. You've touched on them in that first half.

10:36:38.120 --> 10:36:41.920
Oh, success in the pistol would really put a nice bow on things.

10:36:41.920 --> 10:36:43.720
They've got this early four on three.

10:36:43.720 --> 10:36:46.320
Oh, well, why not make it a little better, Jimmy?

10:36:46.840 --> 10:36:54.400
It's only walks a console fly they had to go back to get the bomb so an awkward grouping in the 2v4 the round starts anew

10:37:02.240 --> 10:37:04.720
Torsche no need to commit you see when they're going

10:37:07.320 --> 10:37:11.520
Info is power here as miles of two players towards be oh

10:37:12.960 --> 10:37:14.280
Jimmy

10:37:14.280 --> 10:37:17.340
Jimmy's been clean in this pistol clean the coal

10:37:21.000 --> 10:37:24.320
All right, Jimmy, I'll give him a chance

10:37:27.000 --> 10:37:34.220
Three super clean taps and that puts mouths on the fast track to the finish line

10:37:35.220 --> 10:37:38.360
They got a pistol under the belt. They got Jimmy landing one taps

10:37:44.280 --> 10:37:51.160
Furore just bite the bullet early on. There's no forcing, there's no taking a risk now.

10:37:51.160 --> 10:37:54.280
They're gonna get the guns out fast as possible.

10:37:54.280 --> 10:38:01.100
I do like the eco here. There's been a lot of force-pies in this game, but this isn't

10:38:01.100 --> 10:38:03.200
too far gone yet.

10:38:03.200 --> 10:38:07.440
I mean, you know, on Dust2 they never had the privilege of a second half. They had

10:38:07.440 --> 10:38:17.480
to just force till the game ended. So try to make sure they at least get a chance to

10:38:17.480 --> 10:38:21.960
play the T side on Mirage.

10:38:21.960 --> 10:38:28.960
the

10:38:32.400 --> 10:38:36.000
less much as another block around masterclass

10:38:36.000 --> 10:38:36.960
yeah

10:38:36.960 --> 10:38:39.960
it's not much as many of them to fall back on but

10:38:39.960 --> 10:38:44.960
to me is not leaving me I'll say that much

10:38:44.960 --> 10:38:48.280
he's hiding

10:38:48.280 --> 10:38:50.280
Spinks is too quiet

10:38:50.280 --> 10:38:52.280
He comes back as well

10:38:54.280 --> 10:38:56.280
Master Deagle

10:38:56.280 --> 10:38:58.280
As they put it down

10:38:58.280 --> 10:39:00.280
Get a nice little eco ace

10:39:00.280 --> 10:39:02.280
Bit of a pallet cleanser

10:39:02.280 --> 10:39:04.280
No, ruin

10:39:04.280 --> 10:39:06.280
Jimmy's earned it, he won them the pistol

10:39:06.280 --> 10:39:08.280
Let him have fun

10:39:08.280 --> 10:39:10.280
9-5

10:39:10.280 --> 10:39:12.280
All business for miles right now

10:39:12.280 --> 10:39:14.280
4 rounds away from the playoffs

10:39:18.280 --> 10:39:20.280
Four rounds, that's easy.

10:39:20.280 --> 10:39:22.280
That's not many rounds.

10:39:24.280 --> 10:39:26.280
What could go wrong?

10:39:27.280 --> 10:39:29.280
Well, they're running a bit of a bonus here.

10:39:32.280 --> 10:39:34.280
Oops.

10:39:39.280 --> 10:39:41.280
I have a feeling Aurora want to go B.

10:39:42.280 --> 10:39:44.280
Do you think the fake works?

10:39:44.280 --> 10:39:46.280
Oh, that's a deep smoke that gives loads of time.

10:39:46.280 --> 10:39:48.280
Look at the double nades!

10:39:48.280 --> 10:39:50.280
Oh, they're perfect!

10:39:52.280 --> 10:39:54.280
Brutal, Jimmy!

10:39:54.280 --> 10:39:56.280
Blinds them up, knocks them down.

10:39:56.280 --> 10:39:58.280
This B site is a fortress!

10:39:58.280 --> 10:40:00.280
That's just...

10:40:00.280 --> 10:40:02.280
To still commit with the call,

10:40:02.280 --> 10:40:05.280
when you're smoking the molly from that deep?

10:40:05.280 --> 10:40:07.280
I mean, Mouse had no one on B.

10:40:07.280 --> 10:40:09.280
They were double short right there.

10:40:09.280 --> 10:40:11.280
And look at how much time they have to come back

10:40:11.280 --> 10:40:13.280
and get a double nade in.

10:40:16.280 --> 10:40:22.160
I guess Aurora don't want to cancel the call because there are four or five players in apartments, but

10:40:24.800 --> 10:40:30.800
Mouse laughing at the guns they're picking up right now to or she accidentally took a gillil. That's where this game's out for miles

10:40:33.320 --> 10:40:35.800
What bloody believe who's ended up with a gillil

10:40:37.560 --> 10:40:40.400
Jimmy P. Why did it done Jimmy like that?

10:40:40.400 --> 10:40:47.200
That is a saying they ain't coming be again. Okay. Let me play the a-cat. I don't know the first half was a size simulator

10:40:54.200 --> 10:40:56.200
How's this top performers be stay away

10:40:59.080 --> 10:41:03.320
Cyclo and keeping his plays cool. Yeah, you saw you know, they're having a good time

10:41:03.320 --> 10:41:08.000
They're having a lot of laughs, but so I can just use in this Aurora time out

10:41:08.000 --> 10:41:15.200
Well, to make sure everyone stays focused, I don't know, I mean, while they're in quite

10:41:15.200 --> 10:41:16.200
the hole.

10:41:16.200 --> 10:41:20.440
This is, I'm going to call it, I'm going to call it what it is, Harry.

10:41:20.440 --> 10:41:22.600
This is a tilt buy.

10:41:22.600 --> 10:41:25.080
This is a tilt buy from Aurora.

10:41:25.080 --> 10:41:27.240
They've bought three glills.

10:41:27.240 --> 10:41:28.360
They have two smokes.

10:41:38.000 --> 10:41:48.140
fast in the middle exertion takes it is stride out with a flash and with support from Spinks

10:41:48.140 --> 10:41:54.660
every step of the way this round is quickly forgotten about

10:42:24.660 --> 10:42:29.740
mid with two smokes. Yeah, you had three kills since getting onto the T side. I don't

10:42:29.740 --> 10:42:33.780
think you're feeling great right now if you're Aurora. On the right side they got another

10:42:33.780 --> 10:42:49.340
buy. This time they have three smokes. Spoil for choice. Now's are just built different

10:42:49.340 --> 10:42:53.380
right now. It's a crazy jump out mid. Zantares with a 5v4.

10:42:57.220 --> 10:42:58.980
Oh, it isn't this.

10:42:59.540 --> 10:43:02.780
Well, watch out. There's three players out a something building

10:43:02.780 --> 10:43:07.100
here for Aurora. Toshi looking in the right spot. They're going

10:43:07.100 --> 10:43:11.660
to move past exertion. And this one is over. Mauser out of

10:43:11.660 --> 10:43:14.020
there. And Zantares is even hunting.

10:43:14.020 --> 10:43:16.020
Oh

10:43:18.040 --> 10:43:19.800
No way

10:43:19.800 --> 10:43:23.780
This hunt doesn't have you know like massive consequences any time soon

10:43:23.780 --> 10:43:26.460
You would really be believing in a lengthy comeback

10:43:28.220 --> 10:43:32.000
But it's to do much to the mouse economy these guys are loaded

10:43:34.660 --> 10:43:39.980
Like that that's nice. He knows they're coming for him. So get the all-pattern there

10:43:39.980 --> 10:43:46.780
You got a lot of room to work with you got a lot of money you can be frivolous here

10:43:50.380 --> 10:43:52.580
But Aurora do hunt everyone down

10:43:54.580 --> 10:44:00.460
This ends up you know go in the distance that can come to matter but for now still find money

10:44:01.540 --> 10:44:05.540
Now let's get everything they can need rifles on everyone or for Toshi

10:44:09.980 --> 10:44:16.980
Five round game.

10:44:16.980 --> 10:44:21.980
A mouse still wall-fitting, let's see.

10:44:21.980 --> 10:44:27.980
Hey mouse, I don't think you love the fashion in which you lose that.

10:44:27.980 --> 10:44:32.980
Like, four players still alive for Aurora means, even though they go for the hunt, it's not

10:44:32.980 --> 10:44:34.980
one of those like unjustifiable ones.

10:44:34.980 --> 10:44:37.980
They actually do have money banked up now.

10:44:37.980 --> 10:44:42.140
So a potential room here for Aurora back into the map

10:44:45.460 --> 10:44:47.980
Just not much room for mistakes here

10:44:53.380 --> 10:44:59.400
You hear it in these kind of like set piece almost out of spawn calls from a drop until now

10:44:59.400 --> 10:45:10.840
Now, four over towards the B apartments, but a noise made by Matcha on this lurk.

10:45:10.840 --> 10:45:15.500
Greshan comes in from the mouse camper, they will deal with him on his solo venture over

10:45:15.500 --> 10:45:20.360
at A. It feels like now is the only time to follow through with the B here, so in they

10:45:20.360 --> 10:45:27.480
go into the crossfire, Jimmy stands and delivers hell of a double kill to thin the herd.

10:45:27.480 --> 10:45:34.480
I know who Torsche was waiting for and let's give them rise to a 2v2.

10:45:34.480 --> 10:45:41.880
Can't control default plant. Walksake, a lot to do here. Santaris coming back to watch the

10:45:41.880 --> 10:45:48.480
cross. Both players of Maus, same position. Yet to be known, but Aurora are cocking

10:45:48.480 --> 10:45:53.800
on. Santaris, miss shot and messy spray on both players. Exertion flushes them out

10:45:53.800 --> 10:45:59.480
of the round. That is another one for Maus and that is playoff point locked in here on

10:45:59.480 --> 10:46:05.800
Mirage. It is their map and they are taking it right back out of Aurora's hands. A couple

10:46:05.800 --> 10:46:13.000
of consolation rounds down the stretch but Maus want nothing to do with it. Really good

10:46:13.000 --> 10:46:18.400
CT side from Jim Pat here. Really great game really on Mirage but that big pistol

10:46:18.400 --> 10:46:23.400
round and he's dealt with every bee hitting multi kills.

10:46:23.400 --> 10:46:29.560
Kind of akin to Dusto as well, like these mouse CT harps have just been a test of like

10:46:29.560 --> 10:46:33.200
your bomb site crossfires, you know, it's not really coming down to like the early

10:46:33.200 --> 10:46:35.080
duels in these rounds.

10:46:35.080 --> 10:46:38.080
You're just getting dealt some eggs eggs.

10:46:38.080 --> 10:46:42.800
There it was a test of the bee sight hold, two players in it, four running out and

10:46:42.800 --> 10:46:48.780
but they're set up properly. Jimmy just allowed to get away with murder. You know, really giving

10:46:48.780 --> 10:46:53.160
shades of what we got to open this series, thinking back to some of those Brolin Torschey,

10:46:53.160 --> 10:47:00.360
you know, two man holds over towards a... Not getting a lot of mid-rounding out of these

10:47:00.360 --> 10:47:03.200
Aurora T sides.

10:47:03.200 --> 10:47:09.240
524 might give them that room.

10:47:09.240 --> 10:47:11.520
Woxic picking Spinks.

10:47:11.520 --> 10:47:15.520
Bomber still back up top mid and Soulfly's got to stop this.

10:47:15.520 --> 10:47:18.360
Two players and they find him with ease.

10:47:18.360 --> 10:47:21.280
Bit of damage is all he has to show for it.

10:47:21.280 --> 10:47:25.280
These little mowers like re-aggressive moves are a bit really nice and they've had a couple

10:47:25.280 --> 10:47:28.120
over the wards around for that one there clearing out Palace.

10:47:28.120 --> 10:47:30.960
Job's not done with Woxic.

10:47:30.960 --> 10:47:35.080
a bit of wiggle room there, a key trade to find a three on three.

10:47:35.080 --> 10:47:39.840
What a great position for exertion to just sneak into before the smoke disappears. It's

10:47:39.840 --> 10:47:43.840
scary because you can be cleared. I don't think anyone's checking this. Definitely not

10:47:43.840 --> 10:47:45.120
the orb.

10:47:45.120 --> 10:47:52.720
Bombs also over on Cat with Zantares and Magik. So Woxic's got to back up. Even making

10:47:52.720 --> 10:47:56.440
noises he retreats because they didn't know about exertion. He now moves into an

10:47:56.440 --> 10:48:02.520
even more potent position. Good stuff out of Woxig. It's Jimmy that's been the constant

10:48:02.520 --> 10:48:08.400
threat. These B-sides belong to him, but couldn't nail Madge. You left looking at Brolin. Try

10:48:08.400 --> 10:48:12.920
to close this in the one on three. You'll play it forward, but Cover is there and Aurora

10:48:12.920 --> 10:48:15.080
live to fight one more round at least.

10:48:15.080 --> 10:48:19.960
Hang around for Woxig. That is shot onto exertion. No business winning that fight.

10:48:19.960 --> 10:48:25.560
exertion makes a really nice reposition. And Woxig just so fast on the orb. Even

10:48:25.560 --> 10:48:30.840
Jimmy kind of jumping the gun there, saw her head. Didn't want to take his time with that

10:48:30.840 --> 10:48:38.040
kill knowing that player probably crouched back soon. And so it's an awkward round to lose mainly

10:48:38.040 --> 10:48:47.720
because of the consequences. Mal's money drying up. And so annoyingly, Mal's have squandered their

10:48:47.720 --> 10:48:55.160
best opportunity to close this with ease. I think I actually really respect the eco here.

10:48:55.160 --> 10:48:58.760
I think a lot of teams would buy around like this that we have like a hero gun

10:48:58.760 --> 10:49:00.680
It forces you to be a little bit innovative

10:49:00.680 --> 10:49:06.120
We've been saying like mouths of largely just been able to sit back into their bomb sites and play kind of reactive over there

10:49:06.120 --> 10:49:06.840
The initials day

10:49:06.840 --> 10:49:09.800
I wonder if you get something here where they are a bit more involved

10:49:10.440 --> 10:49:13.400
It's something like a boost like down towards under. Yeah

10:49:14.440 --> 10:49:20.040
Boosted beam and you push B apps of going for triple Bs there a little gimmick to try and steal that opening kill

10:49:20.440 --> 10:49:22.440
Okay

10:49:25.160 --> 10:49:30.160
Oh, you've been given a hell of a second chance of life there, Brolin.

10:49:32.160 --> 10:49:34.160
Oh, Molly blocked.

10:49:36.160 --> 10:49:37.160
I get out of it.

10:49:37.160 --> 10:49:40.160
And I'm very fortunate to start to the round for now.

10:49:40.160 --> 10:49:41.160
Yes, lucky to be alive.

10:49:41.160 --> 10:49:43.160
Couple of near misses.

10:49:55.160 --> 10:50:02.160
Oh, in all this downtime, whoa!

10:50:02.160 --> 10:50:06.160
Arora shooting blanks right now.

10:50:06.160 --> 10:50:09.160
They had multiple chances.

10:50:09.160 --> 10:50:13.160
Finally, someone gets the job done and that's the gun gone.

10:50:13.160 --> 10:50:16.160
Spinks is off it up to Zantares.

10:50:16.160 --> 10:50:18.160
We'll get picked up by exertion.

10:50:18.160 --> 10:50:20.160
What is going on?

10:50:20.160 --> 10:50:21.160
This is a round, isn't it?

10:50:21.160 --> 10:50:23.160
The bomb's going anyway, so it's fine.

10:50:23.160 --> 10:50:29.480
but I feel like this round should already be over. Can it be? Oxy looking to make it so.

10:50:31.080 --> 10:50:34.120
Just glad we're on the Woxicam. He's nailed that one shot. There we go.

10:50:34.120 --> 10:50:35.320
Yeah. It walks and takes us.

10:50:35.320 --> 10:50:36.360
On Malie restored.

10:50:39.480 --> 10:50:42.120
Claudia, getting him gone.

10:50:44.040 --> 10:50:48.440
And so, wha, a fresh of breath air, as they say.

10:50:49.320 --> 10:50:52.600
Tightening up now. And even though they take that, Aiko, it's not like the buy here is

10:50:52.600 --> 10:50:58.600
gonna be tremendous. You know, Sphinx bought the hero gun, he's strapped for cash, might end up being a partial.

10:50:58.600 --> 10:51:08.600
Ooh, a double Eek. But this is the Furia by Harry, in an unorthodox moment. The full MP9-57 bash.

10:51:12.360 --> 10:51:15.880
Might have to be ready to deal with a bit of swarm of Mao's players.

10:51:15.880 --> 10:51:17.720
Yeah, get crazy with it.

10:51:17.720 --> 10:51:20.920
Two into the lower tunnels, crunch in the apartments.

10:51:20.920 --> 10:51:22.920
I don't see it.

10:51:22.920 --> 10:51:24.920
Magic here.

10:51:24.920 --> 10:51:26.920
He's very vulnerable to this.

10:51:26.920 --> 10:51:28.920
He's also the guy that was meant to go back and get the bomb.

10:51:28.920 --> 10:51:30.920
So,

10:51:30.920 --> 10:51:32.920
not a death you feel super good about here

10:51:32.920 --> 10:51:34.920
if you're Aurora.

10:51:34.920 --> 10:51:36.920
He won't play TV. They just want to use the advantage.

10:51:36.920 --> 10:51:38.920
And so, 5v4 go back to spawn, rotate safely.

10:51:38.920 --> 10:51:40.920
Exertion still under.

10:51:40.920 --> 10:51:42.920
He should be ready for this.

10:51:42.920 --> 10:51:44.920
Huge kill for Lucario.

10:51:44.920 --> 10:51:46.920
Santorres doubling back

10:51:46.920 --> 10:51:48.920
still gets his frag.

10:51:48.920 --> 10:51:52.920
spam and a three on three where miles have a shot at making the playoffs.

10:51:52.920 --> 10:51:58.920
Brolin catches Antares low on health and they're trying to get it done with SMGs.

10:51:58.920 --> 10:52:00.920
Does Brolin have it in him?

10:52:02.920 --> 10:52:06.920
1v2 staring him dead in the face.

10:52:06.920 --> 10:52:10.920
Spam connects and that's the plan denied.

10:52:10.920 --> 10:52:14.920
Brolin's been given one hell of a reason to give this one a go.

10:52:14.920 --> 10:52:19.600
left is the last remaining piece for Aurora. This was not meant to be the

10:52:19.600 --> 10:52:24.700
strugglesome round. Every step of the way, Brolin's look looked at four Aurora's

10:52:24.700 --> 10:52:31.360
plans and there he is rounding it out. The captain closes in style and with

10:52:31.360 --> 10:52:37.240
that clutch, Maus secure themselves a spot in the playoffs. Yeah, but Maus after

10:52:37.240 --> 10:52:42.720
all here in Brazil, making it into the arena and they will play Furio to see

10:52:42.720 --> 10:52:46.520
how deep they can go as well semi-finals or quarters. It's a game for the seed

10:52:46.520 --> 10:52:52.400
mouths reaching for the stars. Nice to see them dispatch of Aurora so cleanly. I

10:52:52.400 --> 10:52:56.280
don't think it was Aurora's best day in the office but now certainly showed up

10:52:56.280 --> 10:53:01.840
and Brolin on your screens had a monstrous game across both maps popped off

10:53:01.840 --> 10:53:06.880
Torsche great dust as well and lots of like out of the mouse camp today solid

10:53:06.880 --> 10:53:10.800
tea sides and also Brolin individually just putting on a master.

10:53:10.800 --> 10:53:14.760
the game. It's a very rare

10:53:14.760 --> 10:53:16.700
win on dust two and you do you

10:53:16.700 --> 10:53:18.660
do just love those games where

10:53:18.660 --> 10:53:20.660
Brolin is in good form at it. It's

10:53:20.660 --> 10:53:22.700
such a treat to watch closes it

10:53:22.700 --> 10:53:24.800
with a clutch. It feels perfect

10:53:24.800 --> 10:53:26.800
feels poetic because it was him

10:53:26.800 --> 10:53:30.800
on dust two that it really did

10:53:30.800 --> 10:53:32.800
flex on Aurora for Aurora. This

10:53:32.800 --> 10:53:34.800
isn't the end of the line.

10:53:34.800 --> 10:53:35.800
They'll move on down to that

10:53:35.800 --> 10:53:37.800
lower bracket still in with a

10:53:37.800 --> 10:53:39.800
chance, but they got to keep

10:53:39.800 --> 10:53:46.300
But Aurora recently making moves in the right direction. This was not the series they expected

10:53:46.300 --> 10:53:51.120
We've actually got Brolin standing by let's hear from him after a fantastic game

10:53:52.880 --> 10:53:57.580
Yes, yes, we're here with Brolin and clean as a leading by example

10:53:57.920 --> 10:54:01.180
Winning the clutch to finish the series, but also having a lot of impact

10:54:01.180 --> 10:54:04.580
I saw some screaming you on the dust too as well like those tabs with a K

10:54:04.580 --> 10:54:07.860
I mean pretty impressive stuff from you. What do you think about this best of three?

10:54:07.860 --> 10:54:15.040
I don't know. I feel really felt it today. I think we played really good. I think we

10:54:15.040 --> 10:54:20.900
kept the mental and city side of Dust2 and we're really prepared for this game and we

10:54:20.900 --> 10:54:24.540
know that they're going to pick it. We also had really much for confidence on the city

10:54:24.540 --> 10:54:26.100
side. It was good.

10:54:26.100 --> 10:54:30.440
Your coach actually shared with me that you're not trying to over-analyze, over-think

10:54:30.440 --> 10:54:34.580
some of the stuff. Does this affect you as an IGL as well, where you get maybe

10:54:34.580 --> 10:54:38.920
a little bit of a freer hand in terms of what you're calling, how you're approaching things

10:54:38.920 --> 10:54:42.060
or is this strictly just purely practice what he was talking about?

10:54:42.060 --> 10:54:47.720
I mean, I think it's just a lot of details. We are maybe not playing the right decisions

10:54:47.720 --> 10:54:54.180
and I think we're repeating a lot of mistakes, especially in Dust2. We try to over-align

10:54:54.180 --> 10:54:57.940
it if I say so, especially when we played in Rotten Down. We basically lost a lot of

10:54:57.940 --> 10:55:02.340
Dust2s. We tried to do it too much maybe, but it was a lot of repeating mistakes

10:55:02.340 --> 10:55:07.040
and a lot of details in the game, but we need to play D-Map more because we haven't played

10:55:07.040 --> 10:55:11.140
before. I mean of course we have played before from some time now, but we basically had this

10:55:11.140 --> 10:55:16.740
promo-band before, so yeah it's a pretty different, not a different map, but you can

10:55:16.740 --> 10:55:21.580
work in default on T-Side, it's a different thing. And now compared to Lassie I would

10:55:21.580 --> 10:55:25.540
say. So yeah it's been tough, but we are going there, it's fine.

10:55:25.540 --> 10:55:28.300
Obviously I should have started the interview with this, but congrats on making the

10:55:28.300 --> 10:55:32.940
playoffs but here you're still fighting for the semifinal ticket and it will be

10:55:32.940 --> 10:55:36.820
against Furia and I noticed that you have kind of like this weird mechanic with

10:55:36.820 --> 10:55:40.620
Furia you're always playing them in these matches when you're already

10:55:40.620 --> 10:55:44.620
advancing it happened in Chengdu it happened in Blast London as well and

10:55:44.620 --> 10:55:48.620
where you're like both through but it's kind of like a loser goes to the

10:55:48.620 --> 10:55:52.860
quarter-final so what does change in ahead of Brolan when you're playing

10:55:52.860 --> 10:55:55.860
these kind of the games is it low pressure because you're essentially not

10:55:55.860 --> 10:55:59.300
playing an elimination game or how does this affect you?

10:55:59.300 --> 10:56:05.380
Of course, it's getting a lot of pressure than usual of course, you're already in play

10:56:05.380 --> 10:56:06.380
also.

10:56:06.380 --> 10:56:09.860
Yeah, of course it's going to be a really important game still to advance to the

10:56:09.860 --> 10:56:13.860
team for us instantly and I mean it's always fun to play them as well.

10:56:13.860 --> 10:56:18.220
We played them last time in return 24, just of course in the stage and in groups as

10:56:18.220 --> 10:56:22.340
well but yeah I'm looking forward for it and of course it's going to be a good

10:56:22.340 --> 10:56:24.620
game you know so yeah, it's good.

10:56:24.620 --> 10:56:30.100
It makes complete sense and obviously good luck in that game for tomorrow, but now Harry and Hugo take it

10:56:37.540 --> 10:56:41.380
You thought day one was good out here in Rio, how about day two?

10:56:41.380 --> 10:56:48.020
You're already loving what we've had bought to the table Hugo. I'm talking a vitality guaranteed a playoff spot

10:56:48.020 --> 10:56:53.460
They're chasing the Grand Slam and they'll be they'll be playing again tomorrow to see if they can work in a semi

10:56:53.460 --> 10:57:00.940
Yes, they did that G2 series was no joke. No, not all Falcons also going to be there as well locked in for the playoffs playing the seeding match

10:57:00.940 --> 10:57:04.060
Tomorrow they managed to make quick workers spirit in a match

10:57:04.060 --> 10:57:11.060
We've seen them win many a time shall we say but a no pressure Falcons and suddenly anything's possible there in the playoffs

10:57:11.060 --> 10:57:13.900
I think the big news Harry is Furia. Come on

10:57:13.900 --> 10:57:16.900
They made it back to another playoff appearance in Rio de Janeiro

10:57:16.900 --> 10:57:22.660
had a great game today as well. And I dropped it at the end of the series, but to see Mordeaux

10:57:22.660 --> 10:57:27.060
at his first event with Furia make it to an Astana playoff in his home country. It's nice

10:57:27.060 --> 10:57:30.140
to see us go full circle and see Furia back in Brazil.

10:57:30.140 --> 10:57:34.620
Yeah, they'll be playing against Maus, right? That's the group B head to head for semis

10:57:34.620 --> 10:57:41.060
or quarters. Maus pretty handedly dispatching of Aurora. They didn't really break a sweat

10:57:41.060 --> 10:57:44.660
in that series. And we've all been wondering a little, what's been up with Maus? They

10:57:44.660 --> 10:57:47.920
used to be, and this was something that the desk we're talking about earlier on, the idea

10:57:47.920 --> 10:57:52.660
that they were kind of the most consistent or at least alongside Vitality, right? Cuz

10:57:52.660 --> 10:57:56.900
they were always making these playoff runs. They were always a kind of safe bed to secure

10:57:56.900 --> 10:58:00.820
a spot in the playoffs. And that was something that was ripped away from them across these

10:58:00.820 --> 10:58:06.140
last couple of events. So good to see a mouse return to form. And they'll be facing

10:58:06.140 --> 10:58:08.900
Fury to see who goes to court as who goes to semi.

10:58:08.900 --> 10:58:14.500
Yeah, some lower bracket scares those G2 and Spirit down there as well, Aurora and Navi.

10:58:14.500 --> 10:58:18.740
Two teams that you would typically share for playoffs, Navi, a bit of a disappointment

10:58:18.740 --> 10:58:22.980
I think not being able to close that nuke today, but down in the lower bracket anything's

10:58:22.980 --> 10:58:23.980
possible.

10:58:23.980 --> 10:58:26.260
All I'm saying is it's been a pretty good day, right?

10:58:26.260 --> 10:58:30.400
Having the fact that we have Furia here, hometown heroes, Vitality chasing that grand

10:58:30.400 --> 10:58:35.980
slam, and then a couple of welcome surprises alongside them, I'm liking the way Rio

10:58:35.980 --> 10:58:36.980
is shaping it.

10:58:36.980 --> 10:58:37.980
Absolutely.

10:58:37.980 --> 10:58:42.840
I think I've got to be looking out for that Falcons vitality game because while vitality lost their map streak today

10:58:42.840 --> 10:58:46.200
They've still got their series streak and with Falcons having no pressure

10:58:46.200 --> 10:58:51.860
I think maybe that could be an interesting matchup. So tune in tomorrow rear de Janeiro rages on

10:58:52.940 --> 10:58:58.880
The Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 is brought to you by ESL and partnership with

10:58:59.820 --> 10:59:01.820
Intel

10:59:03.620 --> 10:59:05.620
Acer Predator

10:59:05.620 --> 10:59:07.620
Checks

10:59:10.620 --> 10:59:12.620
And DHL

10:59:35.620 --> 10:59:39.620
really making history absolutely from the modern world.

10:59:39.620 --> 10:59:43.620
And Ace is the champion of the Intel X-ray master.

10:59:43.620 --> 10:59:45.620
What a fight.

10:59:45.620 --> 10:59:47.620
Still not quite done.

10:59:47.620 --> 10:59:50.620
He is going to take this fight for a three second flip.

10:59:50.620 --> 10:59:51.620
Last two rounds.

10:59:51.620 --> 10:59:54.620
I think he's going to start it with a three a C.

10:59:54.620 --> 10:59:56.620
And this is a massive move this time.

10:59:56.620 --> 10:59:59.620
He's got content with just the Nexus kill.

10:59:59.620 --> 11:00:00.620
He's going to get them.

11:00:00.620 --> 11:00:02.620
She's going to get him.

11:00:02.620 --> 11:00:03.620
And it's all done.

11:00:03.620 --> 11:00:05.620
I'm strong, Chris!

11:00:05.620 --> 11:00:11.620
Unbelievable road with a 4-0 victory over classes!

11:00:11.620 --> 11:00:14.620
And they did it again in the last battle!

11:00:14.620 --> 11:00:16.620
It's BOW!

11:00:19.620 --> 11:00:21.620
Giving up for your game, Jill!

11:00:21.620 --> 11:00:25.620
Extreme Masters World Cup!

11:01:03.620 --> 11:01:05.620
One, Josh can get him a boss.

11:01:05.620 --> 11:01:08.180
Hates the shot, gets the cross.

11:01:08.180 --> 11:01:09.540
Stays to get that bolt down.

11:01:12.540 --> 11:01:15.500
Try and get some of the time that you hope to now steal the seven seconds.

11:01:15.500 --> 11:01:17.980
Isolates the jewel and has just enough time to walk.

11:01:17.980 --> 11:01:20.540
Heavy Gov doing everything for G2.

11:01:20.540 --> 11:01:22.540
Just messy to get past the mother step.

11:01:23.740 --> 11:01:26.220
Heavy Gov! Overcomes!

11:01:29.420 --> 11:01:30.300
Oh, my leg!

11:01:33.620 --> 11:01:36.620
Oh, look at that!

11:01:40.620 --> 11:01:41.620
Crazy.

11:01:41.620 --> 11:01:43.620
Tessus, wow.

11:01:43.620 --> 11:01:44.620
You know there's two here.

11:01:44.620 --> 11:01:47.620
Oh, and body shots softened up by monosy.

11:01:47.620 --> 11:01:48.620
Oh, gets him from the short flank.

11:01:48.620 --> 11:01:50.620
He knows what's up, Shiro as well.

11:01:50.620 --> 11:01:52.620
They know exactly where the last two players are

11:01:52.620 --> 11:01:54.620
and Tessus has hit a third.

11:01:55.620 --> 11:01:56.620
Clutch for Shiro.

11:01:56.620 --> 11:01:58.620
Ah, not to be today!

11:02:03.620 --> 11:02:15.620
This is now, I feel like you're walking around for Navi.

11:02:15.620 --> 11:02:22.060
Oh, it's just got worse because he's got him boxed in, hoping that this orb can maybe

11:02:22.060 --> 11:02:23.060
give you something.

11:02:23.060 --> 11:02:24.060
Oh, yeah!

11:02:24.060 --> 11:02:25.060
The knife's edge!

11:02:25.060 --> 11:02:26.060
Yuri pulls it in!

11:02:26.060 --> 11:02:27.060
Time working against him!

11:02:27.060 --> 11:02:34.060
Time search! Yuri calls it in, time working against him, got a move quickly and he's done it!

11:02:34.060 --> 11:02:40.060
D2 is out, fury to get it done, they claw this one back, it goes the distance!

11:02:41.060 --> 11:02:49.060
Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there? Who's right there?

11:02:49.060 --> 11:02:54.060
I'm out of your tag, I can't believe Brolin's here to let it all to rest.

11:02:55.060 --> 11:02:58.060
I'm getting scared of another E.K. in here for the Laura.

11:03:02.060 --> 11:03:04.060
Oh, the view's being held, he can't see it.

11:03:04.060 --> 11:03:12.060
Oh, there, that is a rough old mist and the full stick, the full 10 seconds.

11:03:12.060 --> 11:03:13.060
They like rubber.

11:03:15.060 --> 11:03:18.060
Crossfire set up here, Brolin and Spinks.

11:03:18.060 --> 11:03:21.060
Hold on, and Maus will go on.

11:03:21.060 --> 11:03:22.060
I'm not watching this.

11:03:22.060 --> 11:03:23.060
I'm still here!

11:03:24.060 --> 11:03:26.060
Spam connects!

11:03:26.060 --> 11:03:28.060
And that's the plan tonight!

11:03:29.060 --> 11:03:31.060
And there he is, rounding it out.

11:03:31.060 --> 11:03:34.060
The captain closes in style.

11:03:41.060 --> 11:03:47.060
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.

11:03:48.060 --> 11:03:53.740
Placent matches set your starting point.

11:03:53.740 --> 11:03:55.900
Facet rating measures your impact as you climb.

11:03:55.900 --> 11:04:00.020
The soft ELO reset narrows the gap between the highest ELO players and the rest of level

11:04:00.020 --> 11:04:01.020
10.

11:04:01.020 --> 11:04:03.460
Your starting point will be based on your recent ELO inactivity.

11:04:03.460 --> 11:04:07.500
We're introducing Facet rating so you can see exactly how much you stack up against

11:04:07.500 --> 11:04:09.220
others at your level.

11:04:09.220 --> 11:04:12.820
Facet rating measures how much your actions have increased your team's chances of winning

11:04:12.820 --> 11:04:13.820
the match.

11:04:13.820 --> 11:04:16.980
Taking into account the full situation.

11:04:16.980 --> 11:04:23.980
8 launches April 22nd. Good luck, and have fun!
