Let's see the first clip, this is me for sure, oh this is me.
Oh, I see you speak, and one more, ah, yeah, every time Jimmy has a spray down or he has
to move the kill and he spends all his effort, that's that he whips out his USB and he's
It's a double thing, everybody is funny, because you are really good at multi-killing, so yeah.
Oh, thank you, thank you, maybe it's me. How I should be here?
Oh, this is the spirit touch at 1540 or second left, when I keep showing that this.
I'm not right, yeah, I want to film, he comes up, man. Oh, I have no time. Oh, actually I have time.
Yeah, it's an easy way to play.
Yeah, it was pretty good, got it.
Got it?
Yeah.
Did you hit your good shots?
Some back nine and hope.
Yeah, exactly.
But yeah, good, got it.
Good, got it.
Imagine with that clutch, maybe you wouldn't have had a minute to final.
You know what?
But yeah.
It's one of the five.
I think one of the five, I think.
Five, I think.
Lee's one, right?
One of the dollars.
Yeah, I understand that.
Final.
Yeah.
Grand final.
Was it last map?
No, it's second, no.
This is first map.
First not I'm a bit sure yeah and I remember it was a pretty tight game like we had good city side
I think they were making a comeback on like territory this time. No, no, no
But I remember this clutch and this does prove we should have a one for sure
Especially after this clutch I felt like we got I think it was like 10-6 after this clutch or something like this
Like we got a good lead also we got a lot of money and then I think
We've in the next one on ten of HF's clothes every one after that which was a bit sad
It's too much and I didn't get a pretty cool result but I also thought like shooting really well
Yeah, you were really in some killing everybody as they are a few runs kicked like yeah, you were shooting this past
Probably the best time out of my career to be asked
Yeah, I think so one bit one on five and then five hours yeah on stage
Nice good. Very sick. Oh, I know this one
It's a fast one's beep-up. It looks like it looks like it's actually easy though
you know. You make it look easier than. Yeah right. You make it look easier. I don't
why can't I cook this ever can't be complete. Yeah I remember this I told
they are picking a beep up and I said this not beep. And after that the second
that comes and I kill him and I don't know. Okay it's beep. It's good you've
been and I'm just killing them. But yeah. Or this is using.
Yeah, but I just go on my term name or mode you know. Multi-key is this but I'm
I'm saying, I really don't want to go to the game again, but then we lost the map or we lost the game at least.
We lost them all the time in Colon, like every time we face that, I don't remember, it's two or three times.
Yeah, I like pretty simple straight forward, not in crazy, but just some good movie.
Oh my god, I just watched this exactly keep it present, I saw this, yes.
I don't know what to say, yes, I actually didn't do that.
You make it look easy, you make it look easy.
I am.
Before I kill them, I am in Kishan, I missed two shots.
I have to reload my O.
To collect it of time and I was scared that they can...
Maybe kill, I don't know who I was alive because it was a 2-1-4, I think.
Maybe with Lothan, this thing.
We played this very good to play it off each other
and we just did not get close.
You need to go to the good shots, the next shot.
Yeah, easy for you.
This is where it's not here for me.
You were really good at this sort of thing.
I was running on in this tournament.
I think.
This place was kept in 24.
It's even that prime.
No, no more prime.
No more prime.
Oh, you had no skins?
Oh.
I'm not sure about that.
So I need to wonder if I'll now we talk.
He's talking.
I don't know what I'd ever seen, but.
Sorry, it's for me.
It's good I think you can see the chapters.
when you kill the backside guy and look at that and then you don't
yeah you don't even stand that side
you're really fast
true and Jimmy's side but I think he's a lot of the best aim right in the world
damn
it's out of my game
oh yeah it's day if yeah I remember
you just straight around
I got the flash
you can hit him?
you can everyone
We are dying, I died at this guy, 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock, okay. It was pretty good shots. Yeah, I remember this quick. I didn't say a single word. I was just full of deep. I was just getting the people on my screen.
Remember we have some Falc after like you. You didn't say anything you just killed a mile or something, but yeah, you were shooting pretty hard. I paid pretty much this game.
After the last one, it did good. After this game, I had not done it. That's pretty shame. It's such a shame, but it's a good idea.
It's a good edge too.
Yeah.
I think it is a chance.
It's a good one.
Give it up for your head.
Tell the country master.
The Intel Extreme Master's Crackout in 2006.
26, brought to you by ESL partnership with Intel,
Acer Predator, EHL, Zout, Czechs, and City of Brown.
In just six days, this trophy will be lifted in the Toron Arena in Crackout, where majors
have been lifted where legendary players have made their stand. It is going to be an incredible
week of Counter Strike coming through and we get to bring in a couple more teams into that arena
today as well. I'm fine. I am joined by the one of the only the co-extremic Henry and we are taking
away a legendary day of Counter Strike as well as more teams. Again joining we have in terms of
surprises as well in this tournament with Falcons not even competing for a playoff spot today.
They have to run a lower bracket and some unexpected teams as well trying to make it on through.
We have our A-stream schedule down below. Who cares about those, Cole? Welcome to the B-stream.
Yeah, going to be exciting here on the B-stream as well as we can see from our schedule,
hopefully match up that determined Tuesday to be playing in the arena looking forward to seeing
who's in playoff here between mouse and Aurora, that's what opened this up. Of course,
as you said, Belkin's now in the elimination bracket there, facing elimination with every
matchup ahead of them. So scary stuff for that squad energy and the same boat. And exciting
into the day as well as we take a look at two teams that have already locked themselves into playoff
here. It's G2 and Spirit. It's going to be battling it out for a semi-finals opportunity
or for the quarters either way. Both of those teams are committed. They're locked in here
And of course, in a lower bracket side of things here,
not be taken on Furia, trying to make it into that deciding matchup.
And then the foot, who came through as a master surprises,
came fairly close to locking themselves in an opportunity
at the arena already, but couldn't quite complete the mission versus G2 yesterday.
Yeah, and here in Group B, team vitality and 3D Max,
a French duel to go to have for playouts.
I don't know my brain will break if 3D Max win that game,
But that is happening on the mainstream.
We will be choosing between Mounds and Aurora here on the B stream.
See who will lock it in and down in the lowers.
Isn't it fun to see simple face off against his former teammates?
BC game take on phase clan here in the big 2026.
And portal NRG have to play against Falcons.
I don't know what I'll do with NRG.
will win that game. I'll be parading in the streets, but that will have to be waiting later
down the line today as we are taking a, taking away with Mowls and Aurora Mowls not the cleanest
game versus NRG they did have to work for it. You'll see the score and say well that was a clean
win for Mowls, but well Mowls may be a little bit of shaky and Aurora showing over the big
The upset yesterday, it's been a long time since these two teams have played though.
Yeah, it has been quite a while here, and you know, you're looking at a lot of adjustments
since the last time these two teams have battled it out.
Obviously, you could see training that head to head.
No longer the case, and we know what that means for mouse, right?
We know that means massive shifts in the map pool, massive adjustments for them.
We've already seen how it plays out versus energy, right?
You looked at how they had to lean in on the innu-mous band instead, and that opens
of the opportunity for the Navi playing
us to change his things up a little bit.
And for a team that you're playing up against an Aurora,
at least you get the fan out of the new bus maybe,
but you know, does choose coming up next.
And that was a map that they fell back on
after a new bus got removed in the pool.
Right, right.
And now at least they might have to play it today
versus the Aurora.
That map veto is going to be really interesting.
They're thinking, look, at miles is last four matches.
You know, we know one thing.
They are great in group stages.
I think it's kind of been a talking point
between both of these two teams.
And now getting started with only
their second game of the season,
we want to see if Miles are still looking strong,
still looking to lock in those players
as we normally expect them to
have that same level of form.
Again, they are one of the few teams
that didn't make changes during the off season.
So we get to talk with Star Off or Torzi
about how their season is looking right now.
Miles, get to take on a roar for about the 900th time in the history of the two teams.
I'm just kidding.
Thorzy, big game in front of you today against roar.
Let's talk about it.
What's on your mind, we walk in server?
I think it's going to be a good game.
I think they had in Goochet.
It's a qualification game for the arena.
I think it's an exciting game.
It's only our second game of the season.
We have to be excited.
excited, you know, looking forward for the game, maybe some nerf steel, but yeah.
Well, it's funny you should say the second game because that first game being just yesterday,
right? You played in RG. What was the game like? You guys pretty much ran the board. It wasn't
necessarily super competitive. Let's be real, but what was the game like back in the server
with the boys? Yeah, I don't actually, I think it was more competitive than we would have expected it.
I think we didn't start the games, how we wanted them, we had pretty slow starts,
but it was really nice to be back on the server with the boys and find a place of
officials and feel the tension, feel the energy, because obviously some practice is hard to
replicate the tension of the official games and I don't know if we didn't play an official
game for like six weeks, so it was really nice to be back on the server and get the other
running going again and things like this, so yeah I'm looking forward for today.
It's like riding a bicycle. Is that? Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you get back on the bike,
sometimes you start riding. So yesterday you guys didn't necessarily get, I guess, the most
test done there. So you're looking to get a little bit more of that today. You're expecting perhaps
a little bit more out of aura. Yeah, definitely I think, as I mentioned, we had a good team. There's
something especially, they like to play group counters like they're going really together fast. And
And yeah, I think he's going to be a tough match up, but I think the VV and handle it
fine.
That's so flawed guy.
He's all over the place in A. Yeah, I think he is a lot of moves and he's just going
everywhere, but yeah, let's see if we can do against us.
Now I'll just might have the response.
Thank you for your time, Torzi.
Thank you.
That Torzi got a little day versus NRG, but obviously NRG.
It didn't work for it just a bit.
You know, he has 18 op kills down there,
but I can remember a three scout headshot through the doors.
I'm sure you can too.
Yeah, it was a huge luxury for the mouse camp
to have him playing as well as he was kind of required
some second half comebacks for mouse yesterday, right?
Didn't get quite lifted off as they were hoping for,
but in those second half's really dominated in our G.
And that's a good sign here that you can be tested a little bit,
but you bend you don't break.
come back into it looking stronger in every round. And for me, that's a mouse that I'd like to see
entering into these groups, they just the roster that can be tested, but still past those tests.
And shipping that discussion over to Aurora, what a massive win they had yesterday,
Mao's Gover Energy, I sleep. Aurora beating falcons in the opening round is a shock to the
system. Talk about some 2v5s potentially happening and also some just walks to pistol highlights
that were all across the board especially on in Fernow. Maybe those next stretches are the secret
success but also, for which he was talking about this guy, Soulfly. He was a winding force in
that review. Is this something that we're hoping to land some adjustments on here? They kind of
I've traded out one self-sufficient player there
and Joe does what I think is,
kind of a smart and pretty cerebral player
on the extremity for a guy that is super explosive
and can deal with some of the firepower
that he's playing up against at the top level
and finally with a chance to prove it here
on this team in Aurora is such a big opportunity
you want to see every chance he gets
an opportunity to thrive
and he really proved it yesterday
versus a team like Falcons,
which is a huge detail considering the firepower
but that team possesses him being able to
top the charts and lift or through a victory
as a big statement in your form.
And talking about the Matt Matbeto as it was going to be a bit wild
and we do see another just two pick that gets chosen in to
Mous.
It's always been Aurora's second most popular pick,
even when a new bus was in the pool and now Mous having to play.
Some people may say it's their worst map and potentially Aurora's best. We're
up and into dust to you here. Bows favored, but don't down Aurora. Don't don't be like
Balkans. Well, then you remember yesterday that B site was a little bit rocky for the one
that's defense and Aurora definitely looking into that here to open us up with an
execute. You got the production coming through out of the impact and the back of the site.
looking to keep his distance, dodging up on the flashes, but immediately peppered down.
Here's a low HP, and the extra resistance coming through is going to find the initial cutoff
to make sure to help out, but I'm a little bit late on the scene, these U.S.P headshots
not connecting.
And Zen Taraz is the breakthrough into the bombsite here, numbers getting punched in,
a lot of retake utilities sure, but 5v3 on the B site with a couple players low.
Does it seem too enticing here for mouse?
Yeah, we will see that pistol around safe just barely not able to thread in any headshots
If you just like that back sight position at least in pro play is always a trap because players are good enough
They hit the headshots right, but once you pop your head up you will actually have five players looking at you and
No chance the fire back like Jimmy immediately got goose
Right out of the gates as soon as he stood up so
So, I didn't hear pugs, but for the future pros out there, I think I can reconsider.
Yeah, yeah, this one of those positions where you're a little bit spoiled for choice on headshots,
and it's really tough to figure out how to track one single player in your mind.
So you're exactly right there.
It's a quick dismissal for a team like Aurora, they're going to be able to punish that every day of the week.
And with three people saving up, actually bolsters up this,
this force by a little bit. Got yourself a flamoss and armor for his
speaks. We've got two belt of utility as well. They can help
delay. Give yourself some active plays with these flashes. So let's see what
it mounts have in store for us. This is a difficult adjustment here for
mouse heading into this year with the
reindeer removed and a new was being added but
we're able to close out confidently on this T side. It was the defense I had a
a little bit of concerns for them.
They're baiting in a reaction right now.
It's one flash coming up the cowlock here
and footsteps around the loft.
Actually, it's going that he told me
it's a really good protocol set
and to play by Aurora.
An a quick reposition from Mous.
And just baiting the reaction around the smoke here
for Zantaris C3 players,
the master will quickly trade it out.
Russian is candy species.
Just get their hands on the AK.
Torsy does, maybe this round gets interesting, but it is just rolling MP9 across a long,
not an optimal fight to say the least.
And bombs can be shuffled over to loxick, going to be planted at Mounds will save once
more.
I just really good details there from Aurora, tirely being able to toss in a little bit of pressure
on that cowwalk bait out the reaction with the aggressive play to hear the footsteps
They work out towards middle, they spot out where the, you know, quick adjustments come
through from mouse and just staying a step ahead there, avoiding walking into a stack,
and avoiding getting caught off guard by the aggressive stance at a mouse up the
catwalk.
So nice route being handled, give these pistols,
a norms link in the MP Nines for that matter.
No chance for one to get my school in there.
I said activity at a so-fly again, you know, he's going to be a guy on this team that is super
fearless. I always like Yoda as a player that he was yet the right amount of activity, but
there was a bit of a fall-off, I think, is, you know, you entered into the playoffs as you
entered into some of the tougher competition. And what we just saw from so play yesterday is that
you can still keep up that level of play versus the best of the best.
I can't stand definitely fit on the grind, especially in the tier 2 rounds counter-shracking.
Definitely someone deserving of the call-up.
I don't know, what did use particularly C in the player as he was playing for teams like Fireflux?
I mean, what I was watching among Fireflux is, you know, again, like I could win or lose
use some online games just because he was so relied on to find opening picks and do so without
much help. And for me, that's a really difficult position to be in in the online tier 2 space,
right? Because you don't have the best help to back you up.
Madger just heard Jimmy run away on the most insane timing. Question is though, will they clear
get the lower tunnels, Zentaris, with diligence.
Jinx now, Matt was already on B, and Round Done.
It's time it's the experience players getting active on the map.
But maybe that's what a Roar-A-Neve.
They just need a little bit more extractor in their players.
I think Jota was very stable,
but Jota wasn't gonna take over in when you gained
in the same way.
They just needed that extra piece
alongside with Codia and Zentara's.
Hey, and walks it's pretty good as well.
And that's what allows you to secure those big wins
over top teams again, like you're saying,
like we saw yesterday.
So just getting a little bit more punch
out of each individual player for Aurora
to help them break that playoff curse.
First thing I got to make it there,
but not a bad start on Dust 2.
I don't know if he ever been able to work some magic on this T-Side.
I think the big reason why we're seeing,
you know, this over I can't so comfortable in this map
as well as, like you mentioned,
you have a great rifle or see on this team
but walks a kid.
He just constantly, you know,
is able to find picks on this map on both sides of the half.
Managed to find MPIP,
They're still sitting at zero in one right now,
but as she gets his off-out and play here
for the opening gun round,
you expect that to quickly change.
That's gonna bolster this opportunity here.
Oh, he can opening picked towards along here.
Now's rolling down as he jumpspots around the corner.
He is so prepared for that.
This is Walk's favorite map across his entire career.
to be one of the best Dusty players in the world, imagine in trouble, but we'll get traded
out, I towards you, somehow made a kill out of it.
Or I could go up long if they felt like it had now been boxed.
But I'm a little positioning from space, I'm going to set up the duo here towards the
say bombs and if you're looking at it, the util for this T said there is no long cross
smokes here. None available yet. That's a huge problem. So try to bait out some peaks,
but there isn't much of a reason for months to give them any. So let's continue to hold
these passive lines. You had a single flashbang that's got to be able to break through
this set up of two players ready to go. Jim Fatt playing anti-flash in a certain sense.
For us we on the line ready to cut them off as they cross here. We'll see how good this flash
means for moxic. That's a quick catch to flash being here, but Jimmy will be caught out in
walksick. We'll follow it up right there. Flank being held as well.
Speak tries to play the hero. You're getting around this AWP is not going to be an easy task.
Flash goes high. At least he spots it out here. Speak trying to keep up the pace, but
and make it around the corner safely and he's just going to pick up a rifle and try and save.
Yeah, I was going to say the angle that Torchie is holding is only good if they walk up
the far-wall along.
That close swing from Santaris makes it impossible shot for Torchie to hit.
And then Jimmy peeking off of the op shot, that was the whole point of the setup.
But the issue is that the angle is so unfavorable for Torchie, that Jimmy is just actually
swinging into two to three players.
And towards you getting spotted out,
I think so whole bunch is gone.
But basically a faulty setup and that pick
for Washington, he's fierce.
Jarve to start.
Once again, his favorite map, highest rated
across his entire career.
If you wanna talk some history for walks
it as well, back what he was a top 20 player of 2019.
Just two statistics in 2019.
Simple number one in terms of rating.
Diamond number two walks it with number three in the world.
Back on mouseboards.
No, the surprise winning tournaments.
Incredible. He is on this map.
And you can see the hint packed that he's bringing to the table.
Out of the gates, just knows what to do.
It was how to open up these rounds.
some tough competition, just stand alongside, but as you said, it was winning tournaments versus players like that.
I'm gonna try and collapse here, no, just to set up a towardse,
insertion alongside him here, no flashes around that corner, so it's set them up nicely.
The collapse coming clear, manger, able to find the multi, though.
It puts a lot of pressure on this groin.
Keep it slow.
It's ready for this smoke, push to your fast flank up Catwalk in a very low HP bar and manger.
Except an A to B P for his troubles makes it into the site with the bomb, but is he gonna be able to plant it that molly is gonna take oh
Now no, he stands on the head to the fire and finds another
Magger walk it in the flames and sitting in fact packing into the walks across there
Now there is no escape in this round here in a hurrah rip away another gun
Oh no.
Zentar is laughing right there as the 35-year-old talent breaks through with a double
kill when everything was going to go wrong if he doesn't find it and the Molly just
doesn't get him because he's planting open for long.
Unbelievable.
Then switches to the off.
Point and click adventure on the Jimmy.
Another slow start here for mouths yesterday versus NRG. They were down big
And I would suppose the first quarter
A 7-2 lead back on
I at least here on dust 2 is 6 to 1 on
Ancient as well the mouths are used to this
But maybe not in this kind of devastating fashion
the individual and getting down to this.
So, I'm talking as laughing as magic.
It's the off-shot.
He knows that's not supposed to happen.
Now, we're copying that.
Get these chance clips.
Jimmy on the swing.
Two hooks.
Okay.
A little bit of activity right there, Jimmy.
Make it some motion in towards time.
It's time.
It's a KWP Frersation and I want to stick around and try and find some extras there.
He will not fearing for that corner there.
The activity through B. It was miles what could be the best looking around here in quite
some time.
Still got a couple of pistols on that A-bombside in particular.
So that's going to be the big challenge here.
Still from miles to try and close this thing out because Waxik is cutting off these three
rifles from finding access in towards A.
you're going to have so fly again for another break through moment towards long
trying to find some stability and if you're
imagine to walk up Catwalk here.
First she has been brought back.
Oh my goodness, the timing could not be crazier.
Long pop coming through towards you in the deal.
I've got the poor pro land or that's great on its own.
Flying on seven.
We'll get the job done for miles.
Sure, first on the board.
I go playing confidently, taking some activity through tunnels.
It's a bold call to make for the impact.
They let the scout kind of be spotted in, and Jimmy peeks low on this angle.
And you can see as soon as with idiot gets his youth a lot trying to draw in some attention.
That's sort of, of course, a swing, but if a CS classic for Arcadia,
go in the frustration on that secondary opting.
But we can turn here, we're going to get right back into the buys, and this is why that
puts cat, multiple smokespossed in towards middle here.
You can for a late long draw here, and you can see Berlin up close and personal in that
smoke, those flashes are going to be tough to connect with his positioning, HE goes deep
or that kind of reveals it.
flight is waiting. We get explosive here on this level.
Oh, he's keeping it on so forth to the left.
We can do the door to find the follow-up gear Berlin.
Lock it him out before they can even get in.
The nice... he's crowbar entry there from Waxick, but a brilliant
flight from Poland. Playing close to the smoke so he dodges all of the flashbangs,
eats what anyways and finds for double. Still, 14.
Not blinded by the flashbang. Magic goes down next.
Boxing will come up a great flash bang to
Was he as eighth once again towards you never blind now tag
Other shop baited though and oh man walks to just keeps toying with them
It's round it's not done it is them Tars and Waxik in a two versus three
I think it was smokey. It does catch waksick, but they don't push past it.
Waksick looking to crawl through it, and Terras on the up as well, fucking follow up kills.
But the HE blows open that smoke here and waksick will not be able to pass through.
The Terras running a little bit low on time.
There's this one is out of the picture.
There's some stability found here with mouse on two in a row.
And it ought to be safe to here for his and Terras.
is
a nice try to get effort
such as the zentares covering the top of the site
to some small mistakes being made here by mouse that are giving a raw chance is in these rounds
thankful that they have this role in the level to open up though
and even the pledging
not finding the 2v4, but you see exertion over extending there.
Could have gotten weird.
Could have been an avenue back in for Aurora.
So need to keep their head on the shoulders.
So it'll be in Aurora time out.
Farber is gonna step in.
And see what adjustments need to be made.
For a day like yesterday where
the mouse defense was constantly tested towards that bea.
alongside as well.
They're getting a bit of a different approach here when they play against Aurora.
They're not fearing the long aggression, they're not fearing fighting for CAC control.
I'm going to a little bit avoiding scents of piss around that B bomb site, but imagine.
Fine, it can cement your sort of this AWS got that spawn.
Look at Furnango, trying to find a fight he's watching for this jump peak.
We'll see for how long they commit to that idea.
idea.
Prattles off.
Dangerous game.
I just really want this.
Plast my 4 now.
Now that's what it's blinded.
It walks it behind him.
We'll scoop up the off.
And like an heirloom, it will be passed on to a future generation.
The chance to fight towards middle hit towards you taking straight up approach.
My flash being will all watch it.
Turn that corner.
It's pretty.
Taking utility gear of this control and getting this side turn to almost risk and falling
to the towards the A to VP but not enough of vision around that smoke here and a really tough
task for so fly to try and deal with throwing will be immediately dismissed just to go
walk in hand. No change to strike there. And the lurks move at the catwalk here, probably
going to sacrifice these pistols. Not so committed here. Wait, not smoke out. And hoping
that walks it can create some leverage into this round.
and
25 seconds though, I think it's gonna do as best
save that
and
don't need to say that this cool
if forzy some offing practice on this site or maybe
Eagle practice for Zen Taras
that will be delayed, walks like in T spawn will save
here's a
day of
the
day of everything in that
round I should mention he went for the
eagle he went for the hero moment
and the first nice boys of the match
has been heard
finally clean runs here from us to work
off of
the late kills no
opening opportunities off the back
of some five e3's that they be able to
manufacture
You set the yellow together here
Big consensus yet a Miller came here from loxic towards this beast light
This off now for three rounds in a row has been challenging and
Hoping for an overextension you can hear from the impact not available
Really being tossed down early a lot of you told heat or rather just spam damage on the matter
The opening phases of this one
They start their slow climb through middle now the scope fades late on Zeterra's favorite he is able to react in time
He thinks it's time to line accordingly
That course he's going to commit himself to fight
versus the mid to be
This would be correct. Aurora still going into a two-player setup
up. It has big risks attached to it, tunnel smoke. He's going to fade. Give me an
in pocket position. It will make it good on too. Drops down.
A lot of force gets the third destroying the B-site play and now walks it and 1v3.
Well, I'm going to put the first. He shouldn't have worked for as he is.
For towards that A site. I think it's impossible for towards you looking over this
I will land a finishing kill, the triple kill from Jimmy. He's unbelievable.
Four bullets left for it. The hero with his last little breath of that A for able to find it.
And secure things up. That is fantastic. We're coming through from him.
You may back in a mop, deadly position, but in fact, not going to falter on that B side.
side, it has to once again, I'm going to come up big time with the multi, I can spot
smoke coming back into favor here a little bit as well, allowing for those lower tons
players to get a little bit more aggro and avoid the aggressive cat peeks that can come
through. Now, defense, get the getting back into the swing of things here.
I find some cohesive defenses on that bull size of a map here. Everyone step it up in
these rounds.
We are human.
At least that misflashman proves that this is non-AI-generated game of counter-frag.
Do you play Kevin through here for Aurora?
And we can't get on over.
A keen kill from exertion Jimmy though comes out from the trenches, blocking M4 and we're
Inside the doors one headshot, but nothing more
And
You know some accidents happen again. This is not an AI generated gave a counter strike. This is normal. You know, we are human here
At I am crack out 2026, but we can still win around despite it
To the instant edge on to his teammate there. Look at this. I mean speaking low open by zershin and some wild spam
But at least it helps them out with the, in fact, defense as well from the window allows for a collapse in a good reaction coming through from mouse.
They are able to set their focus on one prominent that attack right there.
It's the right one focusing on middle with both their beat offenders setting in through window and door. You also have that smoke spam coming through that little bit of damage to the enemy team as well.
And now it's a quickly adjusted gear, trying to throw a bit of a punchy mid to be played,
spotted out for a second to vulnerability, but a lot more unity in this defense that is
Binks and Jim Fat has netted them a couple of these last rounds.
That's the local outs exertion if you want to get for any funny business it will
lead Coddy instead trying to sling forward.
And things not falling for those tricks as a version jumping in front of them.
Taurus and his own smoke lures him into his demise trying to play the gap on it consistently and getting punished every time
Not you'll be right now towards you holding
Got a lot of rotates off the back of that utility, but it is still a 5v3
So you're gonna need something out of walks of gear to get them back on track here.
You need to expect the chaotic aggression coming through Berlin.
Gonna give it up a bit here so fly knowing that Berlin is now down.
Feeling a little bit more confident and making moves out towards long.
That's exactly what he's gonna do, but it's ready to go.
It's towards the expecting this player on the right side.
He's focused on long doors.
Now he's gonna start to clear out towards blue bin.
But time has not worked out as avid a last for Soulflat strike.
Just in time you're up the catwalk now, Zershin.
Fast to do it all.
Feeling pressure on this A-bombsite.
Walks 6-2 not making moves.
He's holding the flank right now.
Zershin trying to buy a little bit of time.
Flash brings come through Soulflat.
Needing to find this kill on the site player.
But there is no more motion here.
Slow going down on the flank.
They're chasing things down.
The bomb is on the floor of catwalk now.
And Soulflat might not have a stay in this round.
Chills need to come through instantly in 10 seconds left.
You might be able to simply run away here.
You're gonna look to go down and swing it,
but he will go down, zershin in the end.
Puts it to rest, and now's gonna claim to lead now.
It's what an absolutely wild round
and throw it to all the other games.
Bows have played in the big 2026.
To low start down zero to five.
Why not win six in a row?
Honestly, some brilliant plays that you've seen so far from mounds.
It started with a brolan double along a chimmy triple X-factor from each individual mounds
player.
Now, of course, it's seeing, well, not the front edge, that is an insane shot though
from Zantar.
It's first bullet at shot onto the exertion, flying a catwalk, brolan now dealt with
It fell, oh, corgi got, said flying, peace out.
And back with the vengeance here,
to close out this half.
I'm not six bought another little curl through from Jimmy.
The stoked egg's gonna start to ride a law
if you're tough, the job for Jimmy to make it happen.
You get past this firepower that
we're all showing out for the last round of play.
Trying to even things up here on this T side.
It's okay to deal with the AWP.
To put this half to rest here,
We're not gonna let this mix is waiting for the second.
And while some disappointment to start yet another slow start,
or mouths even some last ones and Taras is magic puts up a highlight
but the nice boys are in the server for mouths. It is 6-6 at the half and we've got an interesting game of dust too.
Oh of course you take over in the second half versus the energy. She even keep up that same pace.
Never really gave energy a chance to play out their defense when it came down to it.
Constantly opening up the whole sear but a roar is going to be a different task at hand here.
Ant here versus a smouts are all stirred
Close down your T-cell. I'm gonna be that much more tricky here
To be a little bit of reaction utility the aggression through lower tons of waiting for a flash to come through
Are you totally heading in and it's a collapse through middle? It's works out for two for two initially
They could have nice trade of things punch it back at this aggression, but they're still player tucked into what with funds and cares wedding for a swimming and
dismisses towards it quickly
Looking for follow-ups towards the top of mid, he's not hunting,
bomb is down the middle of mid, and Zintaras and so fly,
taking charge here's gonna leave Spinks.
Without the bomb in his control here on the B bomb site.
And do not doubt the Waxic P2K.
As well, but Zantara's with his aim as per usual.
Okay, so Spinks, reverse clear here,
You know what's actually watching the doors at the moment so still get the space.
No armor though.
Versus duel Baretta's stuff, he's been seen, spinks hunting, or can he make of this?
No more two players are now, now all three, but can't hit the shocks to back it up.
And then Tars, kicking off the pistol with a clean duel Baretta's headshot is Aurora.
I'm cleaning the pistol.
You know both those pistol rounds working in their favor here building up a little bit of momentum
On the CT side as well
She said they have p2000 so effectively utilized by walksic
Got a bomb plant here. You're gonna see a lot of MP9s invested
For a roar
I'm gonna farm up some cash and around like this here
There's just single p250 and one flashbang is all that's brought out into this round
Like they're gonna avoid that flash. They won't do the smoke on the screen walk sick and I start to claim some kills and farm up that cash
Mow down in towards long
Two players left
Try and find some damage here
They're even my outspreading. Oh my god. They want this money back
But I had her in so fly will pick the money away from Waxik.
I'm sure that's what he was looking for trying to make some cash and getting off out early.
That was the full eco as well.
So AK's arriving.
The side of Mouth.
You're exactly right.
out here as well for the set of walks.
I was able to get enough of those MP time kills to give him some funds.
We're not open for utility here, towards you this time around not so.
Fortunately, I still opened up.
Right things off at the boosted setup, so fly, it's a little bit off the fence.
But this MP9 is a lot of focuses put towards the wall.
Nearly stages.
The worst defense is still kind of floating around here.
This is not real great for Soulfly.
Bows know he's solo on B, they've watched the cross.
They still got knives on the cross, so you can see Torzi is ready to cut off rotations.
You're going to have to rely on Soulfly with an MP9, and a smoke to try and buy time here,
but they are starting to make moves. You gotta get the scope down now, and it's good.
It's going to be a little too late on the steam here counter-task.
I'm going through his mother.
Oh my god.
Hopefully I look at Birdmultfield climb to at least in a headshot as a parting gift to
Spanx, but Breachake is going to have to be on this beast side his plane.
Oh, that's my point of view.
And that's a straight up miracle.
Mouse knew the entire time he was solo on the B site and torsy.
Oh, wow.
This is the timing on Arcadia coming in root-e-spons.
Let's get a whole little bunch. No, he's gonna get caught out by another MP 9 and what could be a miraculous
We take a spink's form out of prison taking down my matters got to be brolled back at the site
He blows missed upshot doesn't matter
But Cadi has come through on the flank with no kick mind you for the beefies hold on your hats. This is gonna be close
Yeah, I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Let's then a second remaining on the DFU.
Wow.
I didn't even expect to win that.
Yeah, you can see they were holding their breath as well.
Aurora just get it across the line right there.
Nice closer.
And it's just great timing for Mucadie on the flank there.
Avoiding the scope towards he was watching towards T-Spawn,
but he hits the walk button just in time.
starts to slow his approach down and able to catch, towards the off guard in the tons,
throwing great utility to force things out of position as well.
Difficult round to pull together there, but it's all brought by a so-fly, miraculous multi-kill.
On the B-bombsate with an MP9, and a dream to hold things together there in two kills is way more than enough,
way more than he should have ever gotten away with.
I mean, Mow's had complete information on that round.
That's why you go for the tunnels play because, okay, there's one person on the B site.
We know another person is not left side, so we don't really want to go mid to be
even risk all the smoke breaks.
Just go through tunnels.
We only have to take down one person to the site.
He gets two and a half kills, single MP9 and hell.
It's hard to see on his old trusty scale.
If, uh, you missed yesterday,
you should really ask Nitro about what his experience
was off being a double-dorsed.
And I've matched versus NRG.
He got ice out of the game for like seven minutes straight.
He got to watch, he got to watch the freeze time go by
And then made it five seconds into the round before getting cut off.
And now you're kidding, you take a smarter approach.
Sacrifice half your HP, but don't peek low.
Because that's where towards his aiming every time.
Jump around that corner and at least live to tell the tale.
Yeah, night throw in that particular game had about 15 seconds of a live time in the first three rounds of
just do CT side so
real exciting counter strike as
you have a little ambush set here by mouse three place hiding behind X-Bot
it will be a five-man mid to be split
and so fly on the call one more
these everyone Molly in course will be made to the board for the
And then he mows him down.
Help, help, I've had Taurus and Magra breaking the smoke.
He's just around.
Doesn't even get started for now.
What's that?
I mean, sure, trick shots for $10.
Did the extra hit?
Picks up a rifle.
I'm not sure if I'm okay, but he knows health is coming.
And all he's going to do is try and buy time.
Another kill on the towards you.
No big deal.
It's a roar.
I mean, able to shut down what's felt like a such an explosive play there out of the mouse,
but that county utility mulled towards window, funneling them into an itnade indoor.
Really well played on that back-up-be site defense.
Being able to hold that choke point, and again, setting their focus on that one-pronged approach
there.
U-middle.
Oh, there it is.
Rg walks it down.
Maybe not acting in HWP gameplay.
The only reason you could really justify going for that.
So he lifted off trying to get, I mean, they kind of sub two ops challenge stores in
taking that boots to up an angle there. They'll have the advantage while the utility
begins first. How strong is the money? It's a money to sense, but that molly just bounces
And within air and those interiors fuel the pressure of this attack up the shorts
I'm great HG again here in the rightful he's combined with this off of a shady and here long cutoff as well
The stack is being built now five miles to the resistance being held together now in Wukidia
Thurod's in another upshot dodging up these flashes here. Can't dodge them all
It's gonna have to fall
Oh my god, it's right from Zershin and another connection in a Wukidia
So, it makes no left until 1v3 here trying to save them, but Aurora or on a tear, it
blops again quickly, doesn't last long.
Maggio will put it to rest here in the full 3-man stack, in that 4v5 still capitalized
by Aurora.
A secondary offer and hits the mean flicks as well, what a hold for McCodia.
camping forward, dodging flashes and navigating the 82 crew perfection.
Never mind that, 3 man A snack.
From the side of Aurora, once again,
and trusting that B-Sight into Soulfly,
or into do is best work, and that allows Aurora to keep everything
downpatt.
Master can hold against that long lurk.
Bows were hoping that sight was understaffed,
that there would be gaps in the defense or a roar with trust in their new rookie.
Show up and start delivering. This map is looking like a blowout.
Unless Mounds can do their thing. And once again roll back another slow start to a half.
And right now they're dealing with a fired up a roar.
Beyond the pressure of every individual, as you said, there's just so much faith here.
And this defensive set up of Soulfly, called himself for Lion, and explosive.
He's been able to show that on that one opportunity to hold down solo defense of the B side.
Normally we're coming through from him in the faith place, and then into him by Aurora.
Seems we'll put.
if you're given leverage for the terrorists of work topell the angle they're one of great
good usage of that that you till isolating that top side peak
the version
Saying the play through this round now
it's extremely intentional from Zantaris, is it has to open up the bottom side of that
smoke, no one could peek underneath it as you're saying
now a long pop they got to have good flash banks with this because
walks is on this angle
it's easy his job on just to use hit this shot thousands of times you'd have to think
what he said in sure
he for the catwalk trying to set up a distraction for spanks but walks
not budging on the angle whatsoever
Oh, it's so glad.
Interesting.
Thinking that this is going to be a chat play with the smoke goes right past walks
at now he can utilize it and help out in this cat defense to your 25 second stuff on the
clock.
These mollies aren't going to block.
It's not going to force them out of this position and now you have manager,
fucking multi-kill here, capitalize them out for the end.
Be sure to cut off this cat flank, but look at his whips out the tech and it is going
to be 12.
Locked in a great prevent and move there from walksic to keep them at bay and
Imagine finding another massive multi-kill is gonna lock them in that point here six of them
Uncle is leading the charge right now
Eat it 10 we do have youngsters
Like with Claudia and soul fly in your team
You've got some of the best name in the world on Zontaras. It's the IGL
Topfragging here and is impact especially in so many different grounds
a double kill into the one HP option earlier that caused them cars laughing.
Maybe it's the new norm.
15 and 10.
Old team has had their moments in his entire, so able to kind of breathe easy, you know,
just prop it off with 9 and 9, but having a couple of important frags as well.
and he opened up that last round of the desertion
with a creative, more of a bit of usage of that utility.
And we see the same as true for walks
akin toward plong.
But we're watching a so many different
game plans come out here for a roar to give themselves
extra opportunities to stay alive
and horses mounts to tack out.
I've never been in this defense here, always trusting the individuals to do their job.
But phenomenal HE from Centares, but this cat crawl coming through a little bit more explosive
than it makes back here.
The flash is looking promising that Waxx still connects the Abjah.
Now's the entire thing. He's also looking maybe to jump up through the smoke. Just leaving it up to walk to clear.
He gets no action from him. That's where the blinks and Taurus come through with the headshot tube or his ors.
Trying to make things happen. Does deliver on the point that you need more. He can't get it.
So fly will drift this map away from him and spin so blind, run it.
When he's hit with the clock in the bomb down at the inside, it will be a flat T side finish for Maus.
Unless he can hit two incredible headshots in 10 seconds.
Spinks, tapping waves, the other may stop shot.
Over the top he goes, 5 seconds on the clock.
He's hit it down and keeps Maus in the map.
They will not go down just so silently yet.
One, two, three.
Find a little bit more time here from the Husty Nuffinist team.
He's already showed up with some great second halfs.
But this one is starting incredibly late now
Constant pressure. I will feel in a little bit of heat
But they've got ample opportunity to close things down as long as you don't let that clutch linger
Get right back into winning ways here again the
destruction of the defense feels
Too trust worthy for them to let that slide over and over again
I also've had a difficult time finding opening duels
Stubble up, set up, leaving them limited.
So, walks it.
Now, taking a bit of a different approach here.
Put on towards that B-bomb, so that your body is off over towards A, on the Catwalk.
Getting aggressive here through tunnels.
Walks it, going to lead the charge.
This is a nasty offing of the deal with this exact move.
I want to keep so fly around for forever you want to leave eventually walk sick on an island
and flashback coming through here.
Get some upshot out the slow bit of information revealed here.
How's deal with it?
They know when off is on the B site.
Are they ready for the second on A they should?
theoretically.
God he has loved it so far, but obviously it took that all five players in the previous.
Gotta be wary.
God he have all the whole team.
And again, off headshot.
Good bye, exertion.
It's in far slow, in trouble.
Jimmy, try to find this kill.
That means it's McCody versus the rest of the mouse.
But eventually we'll be forced to back away.
Mouse get a bomb plant.
We have a post plant.
Or the game.
It's a toxic lost remittal.
Doesn't see Jimmy in top mid.
Last four over here for Aurora,
a way to end on.
Poor Zy collects down magic though.
Spinks, taps up and fires.
3v3 takes goes for more nodes.
He can't get the shots.
He hopes he can get the shots.
He'll be picking up just 2 over Mous 13-7.
Spray goes wild right there.
there. Can't claim any follow-up frags. A nice attempt for mouse to try and pull off another
comeback off the 1v3 clutch, but it's a roar that showed that consistency on the CT side.
That voice that they're able to bring together here, and the domination of dust too
continues here while mouse were able to get away with the yesterday roar is a different
camp right now, and on this dust too map we see everyone come to play.
We'll come here with the op here, we'll work in wonders, so fly would give in a couple
opportunities to help out in that beat offense, is able to bring home massive opportunities.
Now, it all comes down to a single round from Spinks that is all that mouse are going to get on this T side.
And just individual brilliance was seen at every moment from Aurora.
Got to be very happy with this performance from their players man, and this is what lets
you pull off upset.
This is kind of X-factor that Aurora sometimes missing in a lot of their games.
It's why they have a struggle on T-Sides specifically, because they needed a lot of individual
firepower for their play style.
That is kind of, you know, grouped up team-based counter strike.
And when you're missing out on hitting those shots, Aurora sometimes fall flat, but in
2026, definitely a team that is a threat.
Next map here is in Furno.
That's coming up.
I'm looking forward to seeing on the Furno shapes up here again.
Some opportunities ahead of Mousa trying to get back on track here.
But again, you know, now we're just a map away from locking themselves at a playoffer opportunity.
Big details for Aurora to keep up that consistency and start off the story here, 26 right.
It starts with a dream, with a team you barely know, in an amateur official that feels
like the grand final, where practice becomes progress, and every loss feels like a lesson.
When will your journey begin?
I just want to think of what I've got here, when you come around, my heart is bursting out,
I don't want to be the strangers in the meetings
Call them to life for some reason
I swear I saw that I knew
I pushed the button flying so I swear out of space
When we were counting me face to face
I swear I saw your eyes
Hello, I am exertion, this is Braulant, and we play in front of the side together.
I play this position for four or five years, so it was definitely my exact main position.
It's not very permanently, but I started to tell you I run to 21, I think, in the end.
So I paid for it for one, like four years, but I paid the apps.
I'm more of the support role now on the...
I'll say the side besides I was maybe more of the control gap before.
Well, I think there's a couple of things. It's the first of all, it's the way they play.
If they play fast or slow, the second of all is how much you do.
We have, I'm sure they have, and the most important is the plan, obviously.
We should always try to have a plan from the beginning of the road.
And when the midroom comes, so they have to come up with another plan and I think they're
influenced and important that you're connected also with the A side, so it's sad.
I think we have to do.
It's a long location, so you need to be maybe more in front of the Redouble areas and try to
read the important for it, but if you're not on a stand-off position, nothing like
a special ambition that you ever thought to think a lot, so it has to be between two for
me.
It's either the D-Banner smoke, you wanna fight, and they're with the smoke from the wall.
I think it's super, super important that you know those two nays
so that you can actually contest on our control
and you can make the T slow down.
That's all I mean, of course, you remember
not smoking deep banana from,
as a visitor, it's most of the day, it's okay,
so we're still in it.
Obviously, I think shotguns can be pretty interesting
if you know how to use them
and impinance is the easiest choice.
If you can farm as is not that good on the banner,
it's not that important to have at least,
if impinance is always the better choice,
almost on this long set.
I think the most challenging thing is that the current meta is to hold it like in the later rounds.
To hold the B execute, I think if the T is managed to utility a little bit better than you.
You are kind of forced to do the play with information.
If you want to push one of the sides or to gamble, because I think playing 2B against the
full B execute is really, really difficult.
I think that's the most important part about it.
Just go ahead and straight to the side, so it's not up to you.
Really good to have for sure.
Coming into this new year, I was just always talking and I loved the way you framed it.
He was talking about how, you know, like it was consistent, it was deep runs, but also,
if it wasn't, it was just, it was my talent, a lot of games against my talent.
A lot of those, like, there is someone better, but you are so, much, so high up on the
totem pole.
Is that a weird place to be, like, psychologically, where you're like, we're good.
We're really good, but we're not the best.
I'm like, that's a weird place to be mentally.
Yeah, I mean of course, you need to accept that the people will have some losses in your back as course.
And yeah, I mean of course, that is one of the best years in CS history, also.
Maybe as soon as I could be there of course, but yeah, it's a huge problem to them.
And I think we did, of course, it's going to be very tough in, in, I mean, especially last year that we lost a lot of finance,
I was seeing for an extra-rover system, but they accomplished something that was meant to have been down to them.
So it's, of course, it's accepted and in the tax accepted that we have been really good in the last year since.
We didn't deserve that. We did not win that, but we wanted to do it for course, but we didn't have to do it for sure.
You're going to miss train?
Strain?
Train.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got, I got so...
I got really tilted when the Arthur came and said so, but you got the other tight trade, it was looking good.
Yeah, I mean it happens, but since the nervous came in as well as your favourite.
I mean it was a permanent band of course before, but it's just, I think, the trim was, it's not in the right direction if it is, I think it's the trim was, almost one year or so it's just,
it was pretty weird decision in my opinion at this.
Yeah, I mean, it's curious, it's one of the quickest turn-around and like, I'm not
coming in and a map goes out.
I don't know if we've seen that before.
That's a different.
Yeah, I mean, of course, I think it's really weird.
Especially like, yeah, I think we need something new and this one comes something new,
it's something like the re-worked, the map as well, so, and now that's removed it, so that
fits with it.
If you controlled the map ball, what would it take, what would you have taken out?
I mean, it's easy to say, of course, not to it, because it's what's for a panel.
It's our parama, but yeah, I don't think it's money, I mean of course it's some maps are good, I think
perhaps it's of course good but it's been there for a while, it's hard to see Mirage leaving
Yes, sorry I said I don't know what's just gonna remove things or what map we're removing,
but I will say like I think I really like casually in back in the days and this things and I think
I'm one of the chief fans of Fertilio, I also want to talk a little bit about your 25-in review,
from where you're sitting, you satisfied with the 25- because it looks pretty good.
When you take a look at these consistent playoffs, being big teams, but you are more.
Like, it looks pretty well in, if you look at it from the perspective, we've got numbers 3
of the year, which is not easy to do so, we made it as a lot of teams that didn't, exactly.
We made it to a lot of players, we didn't want to win a lot of them, but we made it to a lot
of them.
And of course, we are not satisfied with anything, especially mentally, when you make it
this file, you go every tournament to the end,
you're away from home for so long, like the other teams,
but they get to the pool shelf, they want the event,
they get the extra energy, you don't.
And they add up over time, you know,
they can kind of, yeah, you can take the first one
and you'll try the second one and you'll try the new three
and four and you kind of grinds you down.
Yeah, it's definitely not easy, especially mentally,
I would say, but 20, 25 in the past.
That's right.
We've got another scene in the world that's it, it's over.
Now we focus on the on the 2022-26.
Oh yeah, and you can have a very stacked tournament like the top 2014's in Counter Strike right here and now an opportunity for you guys to start your year strong.
Anyone you're particularly looking to looking forward to playing?
Actually, everyone, I feel like we've been like our team, we've been off for a lot of decisions for so long.
It's just exciting to be back.
Yeah, I'm just happy to be back against anything, just with the feeling of decisions.
against anything, it's a good stage or plough against the best or whatever it is that I just want to play.
And yeah, it's nice the tournament is a pretty stocked and if you win it, it's making the win even sweeter.
Nice boys, we're not enough to stop Aurora as Tim ramping on the CT side of DOS 2,
the double ops and particularly, imagine having a top-racking performance for his team,
sending the map 1.48 rating and with multiple high impact rounds triple kills and even
getting them to our Salafa little bit, that's an achievement in its own right.
Now heading over to in front of though could be a different story but also Aurora did just
take down Falcons yesterday on this map so we'll see how these two teams match up.
It's so uncomfortable fashion did so with players impacting the server like so fly, we still
We'll have some pop-off moments when given the opportunity on that B-side-in-walksick who is playing consistent with that A to B-P here.
So for a roar, a lot of confidence being built on this left-of-the-burner as well.
We'll see if they can carry that forward.
On to this mouse squad.
See if mouse can bounce back here, try and get some of the opening duels more involved.
A phyllic reserve should didn't get a lot of chances within bestifies in caras, shut down by the operas.
So he's going to be eager to open up proceedings here and have a little bit more impact for this out of mouse.
So we know that this is a guy that needs to come online for these T-sides.
Offsick here, leading off his P2000 classic in hand,
anything on the high scents getting ran down and not finding anything.
Instead, it's the dulys of Acadia collects to a Soulflan out 14 HP and eventually hunted,
smoked out RST Nates and the bomb planted here on the A7.
It really takes a exertion though, and will boost attempt from Santorz gets this bot on
the porgy.
What if the back of the site's scene as well?
This gotta be magic.
We need another highlight from him as the swing comes through first headshot onto an exertion
15 HP.
4 Jimmy.
One shot to the body for both of these players will do now scene in mini-pitch.
I can't even got the headshot and mows with a pistol.
off the nominal stuff right there, be able to work, some serious magic on that pistol
breaking past the trio of players ready to go, root force in the way into the bombs that
was some good flashes to back it up, by pushing up those doles.
Also, it's time for mouse to have him.
Did he come up clutch as well?
Did I imagine the follow-up impact here on this second map?
But I think the first pistol on the board is well-ferenced. Did you get either one of those on Dust 2 that definitely doesn't count here
Forced by packing order here for this defensive squat down the hands of walks are trying to stay on middle
This time we'll cut he left on a soul defense of this b-bombside
I test the setup as well, it's not a committed.
I'm not going to be deployed, but Coddy has a second one to keep blocking and utility.
It's a flashbang starting to get limited.
I was might walk into an ASAC.
We can more and more convinced.
Thank you for the move here.
Rapside utility being tossed in is going to a lot of walks
of distance right here.
Trying to get past the setup here.
Find some follow-up frags inside of apartments
so getting chased down as the rapside comes through
as well as in terrace.
Feelin' the pressure from all angles.
They haven't played or tucked in towards apartments right now.
Speak jumping by the corner and still no activity just yet.
What? Trying to strike from apartments
move just yet. Flashbang forward over Kaya, what's action? You get the kill to 1v1, Soul
Flase got the AK in his situation towards you. Just gonna stick the plant. He's pinned
into the corner. Soul Flase got all the way and he's got the headshot as well. It's a
force by victory for Aurora as Mous walking to the stack. Soul Flase wondering if he was
going to be able to impact that round further, having a tough time crawling his way out
of apartments. But finally gets a chance to strike for that follow-up kill.
They make good on it with a clutch there while you head first into the stack with a set of mouse.
That's a credit to again.
Ok, do you be able to toss in a couple of smokes and make it himself feel like more than just a single
player on the defensive beat?
I think they did not get the fuck out of the house.
The location flowing here for Aurora.
I'll get right back on track.
Their first pistol loss in this series and they immediately went the follow up.
kind of stating and what come out's due.
In your back, these HE's don't help.
Chip damage.
You know, there's always a joke
from Chatsman's first hill.
About audio only listeners, and I experienced that in very first time yesterday.
Hold on, they're gonna swing Xentaurus here.
Oh, and it'll work out!
Alright, Spinks.
That's the AK on the floor, terminate it down.
If they don't have...
It's a gamble.
It's a ability to take advantage of it.
Like two smokes.
We're players trying to recover this A-bomb site,
but it is not the right read.
They threw a deep banana smoke here,
and it is an all in gamble play from Aurora.
I hope that mouse will walk into the four-man stack again, but lessons learned.
I'm also going to have themselves a drier on execute with only two smokes into an open
B bomb site, speed things up, but the tech 9's take initiative.
And this might be a four-man save, if you're a little bit of back and forth to lift this
off.
This map of info are now.
single swing and the center is enough to close things down but this round
arrest. Who's that about you only listeners? So I'm a big fan of audio
listening to to see us sometimes. Yeah and it was very nice. It always makes me
surprised because sometimes I do something like I was I was driving just then
They're in the morning and listening to, well, be Aurora, the Falcons game, and they did a good job
and telling me everything I needed to know.
Just a little revelation.
So, shout out to the audio only listeners who are listening to this while doing any sort
of other tasks.
It means we have to know very well.
It's very descriptive, cool.
to be very descriptive. Make sure we tell the round score at the end of every round
because it is 2 to 1 for mouse. But the situation is weird because Aurora saved four guns.
It can still available for Zen Tars to make this round threatening. And now's are still on SNGs.
So despite mouse winning the round, it is still an equal buy between both these squads.
They're gonna be able to put up an effort there, but some fear factor put into this
Aurora CT side was speaks.
Do it on one hell of a swing in this utility damage, raining down damage, you're matching
up here and anything though get set up by a flash and finds the opening deck there.
Trying to get around the quarter jumping in P7, AT's, putting Brawland out low as well.
is war-waged on banana and it will be a war that walk away with less bumps and bruises.
But they do have a couple of low HP players here and we're cutting and managing to try and
look towards.
Tara's trying to get a little bit aggressive here on towards me.
I think now Mill catches a backturned brawl and gets finished off, eventually is in Tara's.
Dasting up one quick duel and getting into a reposition.
That big feast there, peeking from top middle.
And Roland was hoping his teammate would cover, but instead back turns, now Zentaris in many pick.
Requisitioned with this AK, but it's a silent walk-up short.
Oh no.
I can't believe it's sees-all that way, was a nearly lined up.
All where Zentaris with three.
Aside play completely shut down, Soulfly, still in the sight.
palm on the ground with the potty of planking, locking it in, Aurora, they save all their weapons and they put them to good use, it's too all.
Yeah, that that's, in tears was going to be heard, right? They did make a little bit of a footstep, a small sound cue,
but is able to strike still a catch-and-buy surprise with the utility out.
I'm looking to get explosive towards that A-bomb site, but constant, give me on both sides of the map here.
Crazy play from Centares before I didn't kill peeking down middle like that, but the faith in his accuracy and aim
After getting kind of destroyed by spinks when he's getting swung into
Centares will be to make sure that's not
I don't know if it's a availability this round
It's gonna blow up that round in their face before it ever lifts off here some smiles on the faces here of Aurora
They call it a little bit of time out here
Knowing what's on the line here, trying to take over control in this defense is the back and forth has been coming through
Pied up now at 2's
We got another scrappy force by Adam mouse
It's kind of nice my brain a little bit the money is actually fantastic for Aurora
Aurora.
Owens, hardly got any ground.
And Zantar has keeps his AK on the CT side. That is a massive threat.
Some risk taking here from Mow's.
Just a couple of tech nines. Three players heading in towards the apartments right now. The rookie of Soulfly.
I have to receive them.
Another follow-up, some of you are tossed in deep though, we're trying to wait that out for now.
The department's control is really difficult to take when the smokes constantly are recycled.
It's so aggressive.
It's constantly peering down middle trying to identify where this attack is heading and disrupt them before.
Now, so you can get too comfortable and control.
There's a retake banana, you told you,
okay, you set up for aggression.
So, I can get himself tucked in, trying to play dodge-push.
Here's the footsteps around the corner, though, in the meantime,
and imagine if it was running some damage
fade away on the multicillin' walks,
it's now set up in the backlines, and not ready.
Couldn't be anticipated.
They're not ready.
No one is looking towards the site right now.
Mouse are basically crossing
Nines out, bomb plant, and Major takes his sweet time.
The digits do go through for towards you,
But Jimmy left in an impossible situation
getting wheeled down on top oranges
and walks it makes it three
hiding at the back of the new box that third player
on B
and Mounds do not expect it
So many different creative game plans here
that we see on both
that Mababus does to
and now we're seeing it follow through
into in front of us well
so much aggression down banana
but you take care of the B defense
you at least think so
If you're mouse and you have loxic tucked in towards the backlines, so many resources
ready to beat mouse at the punch in.
It's been the story of them so far today and throughout this event, I feel like that
player break as much as we talk about a team that's been constantly rolling through and
you know, with the playoff performances, so much lann activity, so much travel time.
Having a little bit of a player break in between here.
Making a roster move.
It's a big adjustments.
Did you just obliterate it a chicken in the apartment?
I thought he was a head peaking him.
From the upstairs to boiler.
I mean, what a flake.
Chicken's playing defense right there.
A little bit of a decoy.
I mean, isn't it literally a T side quote that the, I say the birds, they'll give you a position away.
That's starting to go around, so hey, we're not wrong.
Flash forward.
It's got to be good.
Zentara's does get blinded.
How many more pistols?
Is he going to be hanging?
Holding him from long.
Flash high, those cars not off the angle.
I can't get any. They're going into CT spawn but they cannot get that AK 3 kill 4 from that dude
Okay
Badm4 is very costly for brawl and to pick up in CT spawn with the bomb
Looks like just needs to make sure he doesn't get picked
Gosh, it's a approach here
We'll give it over the site in the meantime you get this banana flank rolling up so bomb playing gonna be tricky
I'm going to look to commit to it.
That's going to get walks around the corner and a bomb plant secured.
Couple of kills to boot not too bad for mouse.
All things could consider.
A couple of well-placed flashes in a fool swinging things.
Got to net them some extra funds in this next one round, but
crucially, they're going to give Zentara's another opportunity
to the AdNaked here as well.
The manager, continuing to feast up against Ecos in the gun runs as well with an MP9 that
he was wielding just a couple rounds prior.
He was doing great work today for his squad, leading by example.
Yeah, even in the Falcons matches, well, how to strong and furrow.
choice this now walks excepting forward front of a key zone smoke or really
love their opening gambits. Nothing given just yet. Now imagine throwing a
tougher and at the moment. We'll dodge out on some of the grenades
This Wakari will not eat a max damage until the face, 55 HP down.
Trolls have been so valuable here for Aurora, they've been able to rock with a lot of
this deep and anti-controll and getting Zeterra back.
Towards Middle, catches another player by surprise, rolling city by flashbang for his boiler
player to swing, but they Molly Boiler in flash through middle before that swing comes in
out of mouse.
Another great move coming throughout Aurora, and their block utility is netting them opening
picks here.
There's gotta be some reads on this offense, because constantly, Mounds are getting caught
with meads in hand by these mid-peaks.
From the mid-round, all in flashbang from those speaks full blind,
but don't recover to take down what Kavya.
Still, once again, Waxik is this third player on B tucked away at dark.
The flashbang's got to be good, and he starts them both,
but he misses the shot.
Oh, magic goes down, it's only Waxik.
There's a second miss, getting closed in on now.
It's got to be the P2K, and nothing gives.
He gives, walks like no connections to V3 retake.
Centauria seems interested.
Folding, it's being seen by an R as connects.
Nearly the double can't transfer for the triple
and out to one V1.
Soulflip between Torzzy.
And those are his two V4s.
Oh, he wins the fight on two HP.
And mouths have a clutch to get them back in inferno.
That's Soulflip feeling.
He'd off the back of that one right there.
great opportunity to finish off TORSI, but just enough health, there lands one body shot needed to.
So missed opportunities from walks it to back it up, he's going to be for a guy that's shown so much consistency throughout this event as well.
So many impactful maps out of him, tough position to fight from, gave himself ample opportunities to connect, but never landing the shot to back up that beat offense.
I'm going to wait with a big one here, but they know the cost of trying to find that consistency.
And as you said, the reads coming through out of the Aurora defense are constantly disrupting, even that splash place in the banana.
It's starting to need a lot of frustration.
Nice edge there for Torzzy. Had to be precise with the AK.
They bring it home.
constantly for both teams. Once again, walks it. Some tricks, he's flashing, he's gone. It's
a beaverosh though. From Mow's, Riccatiah eating every flash, but dodging the Mowlies and
does deliver the kills. And Mow's getting battered at the start of this round. Three consecutive
kills for Aurora. Spinks on six HP, you have a minute and 25 seconds to I think. Save.
Wow, statement being made right there fights all over the map. They're so flawed.
You can see the frustration as he couldn't complete the clutch with his head and hands
in the last round, but making sure to open things up in the next.
What Cardia just doing the same.
Oh, we do have the melon in the pot.
In the pot.
That's a classic.
You're on a further. We always got a good little peeksy of this one
Now someone sat out of table
Don't want them out and said we should put a melon in a pot. It fits so perfectly
And they say the devs don't care about us
us. That's the ancient scrolls here. What's that even say?
Never looked at this.
I'm not sure what the top says.
Look, they should have printed that a bit better. I'm not going to lie. It's not your fault
a prince or broke on that book or something. Yeah, they ran out of the ink.
I'll have to say goodbye to the watermelon in the pot until next time.
You'll see it again. This is in front of after all.
That is the feeling of in front of right there on this T side sometimes.
The aggression is just too punishing in the collapse in this offense.
All the heck of a mouse time out.
Great way to start the round as we take a look at the watermelon in the pot as
Waxick, taking a peek down the same top here for Torzzy, so can't go too far.
And Waxick certainly knows that.
You can say, you know, Torzzy didn't buy up it into an off when he had around 6k,
And so I was wondering if they were gonna get that out, but when it's picked up from Moxic and around prior, they will pick it out.
Now, he cheated blow up in the smoke here.
Moxic not given it a swing in Centerra's stuff close by.
decision making, but he waits for the smoke to fade, then tries to fear around the corner here.
Centerra is next at back and floors it with a double opener.
His crosshair so focused, and he finds two, but trying to speed things up, getting caught off guard just till.
Two more defenders ready to go here.
Okay, we're going to think he's just yet.
Now I just want to do.
You didn't even have to move his crosshair as you're talking about.
Do players peek into him from the arch side.
But now Aurora perhaps overreacting, expecting a B play.
And Soulfly is going to go on a fact-finding mission.
He's gonna be the third player to swing the march. There's something there's no towards you, though
So we'll collect the kill on two big射 Shin and swing the game towards you this time
180s stole flight knows he had the round in his hands
But could not land the headshot bomb plant here on the ace site
And roar might have to give this one up. He's a small gap on that smoke though
So, Master's cannot find a headshot, even good pre-fire.
A torsive luckily had his head tucked down.
And this is looking like a save for a burrup.
What do you say?
Got a curl through a apartment here, slowly but surely.
But as time continues to take here,
might be more of a contained game than anything here.
We're starting one way.
I'm still taking, gotta be cautious that bomb blast
There's a lot of damage, but we'll play it going down, bro, and we'll blow this play up.
And now it's fine, safety out of the rounds.
That's weird, second mid. Great.
Sequence coming through from Torzene, not only being able to focus this crosshair on one direction,
find a multi-kill, but then having to show a little bit of flare, and some faster reactions as well.
And as you said, so if I put in so much weight on his shoulders, you can see every missed opportunity,
opportunity feels like the way to the world's crash and down on him and he's still playing pretty well for himself.
I mean, I respect my play and I think the play was correct to read it in towards arch
because if he doesn't, the moto rotate is going to be held and he's going to be smoked out and
have no activity in the round. So we went for the play that keeps Aurora in it.
He is the shame that his bullets just pleased by the head of Toursy.
The full 90 people who can get the replay of just him holding his crosshair, first blocksick,
then Zantaris, and then denying Soulfly that opportunity, some frustrations for the rookie.
He's had some great moments, but also some downfalls missing out on a clutch missing
on a multi or still healthy on the purchase. That's run out quickly.
For me burn, take it quick, stop the car, and instead, step forward, he collected it.
Another through a smoke, so much damage, a spank also down to 9 HP, and another blowout
on the cards for mous.
It's such a good reaction from Aurora every time they get bastard. They punch back that much harder.
and dictating the pace here on banana for another round.
Katie, able to find the multi and fall back and you look at the setup left.
They get a little bit of utility for an execution, but they don't have a lot of health either.
It's like we'll smoke down in towards the banana side of things and...
And that's this one play out. As you said, the read on the attack here has been so effective.
They're constantly catching mouse with utility out landing these damage on the plays up an anna.
Don't step too far on that corner. There is an off now watching and he's going to fall a little bit from the back here.
Contact play might be the right reaction here.
out of mouse to try and weaken up this B defense and create some opportunities in but
perfect molly tossed into slow down that approach and with a smoke down here they're gonna
try and make a move through it your flash break from Z4Z we'll knock out with Gidea from the
round here and there's still a chance as the Tars also has to back away to church there's
no smoke yet for this position now Jimmy will deploy but a flashbang forward 4C down
Every buddy blind at T-Cill in the makes two, and spins 10 next.
It's an proactive place here from Aurora. They did get a massive three versus five.
You got a bit hairy.
It's all making it work.
Playing together there, and then bringing me a pod is so crucial, and that's exactly what they do.
Plops him in on the attack.
Not leaving things up to chance here with a postman or anything of that nature and magic continue and to provide that impact
Not a netting himself and all of you there in that last round
Of course the tail end of this half it's gonna be forced flies back to back now. I'll skip make this one work
Money's been on a knife's edge
For this chief side constantly
Centeras is getting inclusive now middle
Here's around the corner again, this time catches a little bit of resistance here, this time
players with their guns out.
Now, walks in, he's turned to fire, so off shot down range, this time not swinging
into a toresy scope, taking down and standing there to fall him on the ground too, Santara's
just so fearless, do not try what you see at home, Santara's can swing any angle and get
any kill.
I'm playing the headshot angle at the truck and nearly finds that one too.
3v5, mous, desperation, no flashbangs, two smokes, no weaponry, and an easy kill for
And we'll try and blow up in a hole in that smoke and change to reposition towards
the library still.
We're re-over the crawl through that smoke.
Double up in towards the minute that is in here.
It's going to play the first game of whack a multi-appin away with his AK trying to stay
alive here, but again setting up so fly for the closer in this round to here.
The clock comes through, walks it with a strike and zershin and a clutch potentially
Can he find anything extra as back is from the other headshot here, but there's magic coming through and scooping up the finishing kill
Just before things get a little bit too out of control. There Aurora flows out of another confident rounds
And you're seeing here Aurora
There's so much strong starts in every round confident play this game could have been even worse
But those soul fly moments, those head and hands,
they're losing a 1v1, again missing that back turn kill on to Torzi.
As they're even fortunate to be in this position,
Aurora have been dominating on Inferno.
And looking to lock themselves in a spot in the Toro Arena.
For the first time,
I'm in the air since we've been there.
How do you put it crazy angry now, but they're going to get met with a lot of resistance.
Another H.E. tossing through the rover and now playing in front of the smoke here.
It's another team kill for mouse as they try and punch through banana.
It's still inside the smoke with them.
Playing inside of it eventually gets finished off there.
but he bought a whole lot of time here extra help coming through on towards that
b-bom site and a lot of reaction out of this defense but it's reaction in the
right direction here it's walks like on a senior missing an upshop as to
helping hands of the right flers along side of flashes are running up pretty nicely
here but the county utility coming in bounds and terrorists helped out by the
player on site they're magic and Zentaro's a nice little duo and Jimmy in an
impossible clutch is gonna get finished off it's a four to eight half we hop into a
a little bit of a break.
All right.
We're already about to begin with the first start.
All right.
I'll be back in some days.
You don't have to be my boss,
all right.
I know you are the boss of prepared games.
I'm not sure I'm gonna play with you,
but I'm always playing with you when you need to.
Yeah.
Do you have time to play with me?
And I don't know what I mean,
I'm so mad, that's if multi-tills coming through
from a cottage, even magic getting active in the play,
I don't need another comeback.
No better way to start a potential playoff campaign
than a watermelon in a pot in a random kitchen.
Look back to Inferno as you're getting into it.
Just throw out all the life food,
Miles, and Aurora.
I just got the first pistol in the first half
and a little linger for too long though,
a row of quick to reply, and I'll see if they can back it up with a second here.
Is there a shane on the corner?
It's spotting out a little bit of information there's in terrorists trying to pressure
forward.
Resistance can be shaken up a little bit by that spot and calling in for some extra assistance
here.
The utility, again looking pretty fierce for this Aurora camp.
Lot ready to go
What appears to be a B side finish now?
And for mouse sleep. They're getting where they need to be in time counter flashes ready to go
Looking to get that smooth down as well for Zershine is that you feel they can do a really reaction
That's all the end of past the flashes. Oh, oh fly
What he does transfer to go between two players for the headshot the audio catches the blank
Two versus three at the moment
It's entirely gone and roll and comes through with a smoke.
And so 2v2 now post plant bill kits critically though call.
Smoke either.
He knows chance to isolate these duals both players smartly repositioning towards banana.
So you're going to have to get on top of that bomb and protect the defuser.
Now that's going to be the challenge here.
They're going to try and take an active fight up banana here first things first.
But across fire assembled and then Tara is not going to let that peek swing.
You've got that on the tap here already taking down to one HP.
Get a finish off.
It's Aurora complete and a mission on the pistol.
So fly breaking open that bomb site with the trance for on the block.
Being able to complete it there for Zentaris as well again showing how fierce the fire power is on this Aurora camp when everyone comes to play.
This is the extra X factor we've been talking about.
That they need, Jonah was solid. He rarely made mistakes, but Soulfly is a playmaker
Unreal
You can see all of it in one round right there, right? He finds a double entry rates over that bomb site
Does try and press in towards
Colpens and win the round outright. That's the killer instinct that he has does get punished, but
You can see that he has so much fight in him as a rifle you're here
And again, you can see how much, you know, making good on this opportunity means to him with every round.
And phenomenal pistol to open things up. And a good call on the return here as well.
So we can up a bomb site, you totally get tossed in so far from the apartment instantly dismisses the first help.
It's not with a second. And that's going to be an anti force by quickly put the rest.
This 2026 start for Aurora is looking deadly.
This new edition is a level I got this team.
Towards the end of the previous year, yes, they didn't pick up a win and Bucarrest.
But of course, that's an asterisk because they were one of the highest ranked teams at
that tournament.
Here, at a lead competition,
we're looking to turn back to making consistent playoff appearances.
And obviously looking to break that wall
and start contending four titles.
Spot of the Toron will give themselves an opportunity
to prove that narrative wrong.
Three rounds away, it is 10 to four.
So, like, experience here, right? I mean, we talked about him just having to grind out tier 2. I mean, that fireflow scheme was kind of tier 2. Sometimes 2-3-ish.
A lot of players that you just have no idea about there and struggled in the online play as well.
But there was an opportunity from Soulflide to get this call up and such an exciting story to see all of the hard work that he's been able to put together and you're a big opportunity if you want to make it work and the Turkish scene is this Aurora camping.
Riving in this opportunity at hand.
I was playing with Banjo.
Any, any noors in the chat? Anyone know who Banjo is?
As we'll get this exit, you don't like goodness.
Every Molly, every single corner, over-taught, exertion, somehow doesn't get a kill out of that.
After spamming 30 bullets while blind at the empty nine, the site taken and what should be a lock-in
Oh, where she finds them towers and nearly spans another. Hold on. A lot of damage to help, but they have no kids and
You want to believe really badly for mouths
I
Looks like we're gonna be playing an exit game see how many AKs they can take away
Trying to grab into anybody damage they can do here everyone rotating towards banana
Poors are gonna follow in their footsteps
Chasing is down in collapse and then P9 picked up towards him to farm some cashier with that bomb blast
who in follow-up damage but instead we'll take him down there's a lot coming through from
Berlin and Jim Fatt find in the finishing frag everyone falls on Aurora a case recovered
from mouse even though that's the case though there's still a mountain to climb at hand here
down 4 to 11 every round you can see the details being
being nailed down by a roar though. There's no hesitation in this G-side whatsoever.
We can see it in the execute they threw in that last round. So much utility on that
bee bomb site, paying the picture of how effective this communication is being.
It's a fast play here. Speeden things up and not outside. We can up in the numbers with
smoke spam, helping out sloring this approach. Soap-like turning in the flames and finished
off by Jim Fatt rollin with the moldy. And things are held together here in the mouse.
with an explosive start to this defense and something to try and lift them off.
It ain't totally rolled on that A side play.
Laura tried to turn up the gas. They just want to end it on a rush.
get sent packing and Taurus with a AK dropped over a mora putting everything into this
round limited resources they can get together this is an opportunity for mouths to come back
into this game.
I didn't nail down the utility that locked it deep to buy.
He's just now leaving spawn.
Did Chug through a couple of those timeouts?
Early on in the first half as well to capitalize on a really healthy lead.
So, if you wanted to save them, but fortunately, for a row, they won't miss out on any
opportunity to take a little bit of trouble.
And I control it, conceded.
Retake utility tossed in, searching.
You go to turn the corner flash ping in order
No motion
What the flash down banana?
No, no, no, it's gonna be there. I'm ready to stand behind the way
Zentara's wants in
Understand off the mark. Players crouching dodging the headshot rolling in trouble
Oh, it will swing goes down Zentara sprays down both feet offenders
It's a two versus three mouse wanted map control. Zentara says no
And Mouth might need to save.
Might but they're not in that line set just yet.
They want to play it against 12.
Imagine play off on the line here for a reward to lock it down easy.
And they're still going to give this one a go.
Molly trying to flush them.
Position with centers able to adjust his spot here.
Come on.
Jimmy with a big opening.
A 2v2 now ahead of them, but they got to move.
time it's running solo and Magger has a molly for the bomb.
It can throw it on top, that is round, can so fly to 90 saves as well.
Jimmy will break past the 3-HE. Does he live?
No, 4-HE barely survives as well.
It is 12 to 5 here for Aurora. One map, rather one. Point away from winning the map, the series
And making it into the torn arena, making it to playoffs like we usually expect from this
team.
And what a phenomenal series it would be if they could just get played it here, simplify
the matter.
We have seen Aurora come through with such great game plans.
You can see the discussion in between, well, I'll take a look at the start of the round.
When the rounds are already taking, as to what utility they need to buy, to make the right
play to break through that banana hold in three kills.
A trio of defenders falls and car.
And taught he out the spam here somehow.
Some way there's no connection as they're through that smoke.
That's got to be so infuriating for mouse.
They had the right numbers.
They had players where they needed to be.
But Aurora still had to break through claim 12 now.
Round 2 A from Locken himself sent Blaves.
We're at some times how to weakness.
Too rare.
Sometimes if they bend, they break.
But how about in these series you never bend.
You only destroy them.
A stepping forward, porgy.
We'll try to snap this winch tree.
You're for a roar of a potty, so it's a step forward.
The only though, back 10 charges forward of Waxig, that falls, but McCodya has a timing.
The universe is four.
That Torji has read into.
McCodya has been picked.
And we'll see if Mounds can start a comeback versus Aurora.
Well, incredibly cohesive rounds punishing on that A side.
Can't like it might not be much of an option.
Smoke inbound.
Magger.
Quick to fall.
Looking for some extra damage right there.
A little bit of smirk on his face.
Still feeling like a working claim control here.
One more round to do it.
This matchup.
Every round that mouse have been able to claim has been met
that with a press of force in the next by raw.
There hasn't been rounds in a row that mouse can lean in back on and break the economy of
raw at all in this matchup, but that's going to help out their major sideline.
In the early stages, a nice flick from towards the to open up proceedings of force.
The leader to call.
I'm actually the rest of his team here.
Now we have a force by from Aurora zeroing out their cash.
See the type of thing I'm talking about where sometimes Aurora things get tough when the
The way to expectation is there,
they've given up big leaves in the past.
Thank you, crush these narratives.
Brown like this will become dreadfully true.
It's towards you.
And that's the bow's in a three-man-a hold.
The weakness is here just yet.
Unless Santaris has a headshot, can't thread it in.
Flashbang forward, we'll go into CT spawns and Tarr is gonna fly and make things interesting.
He steps forward with the headshots and Tarr's looking to break through here.
On this A site, he's another headshot on the player and many pit.
I can't quite thread it in, Torji, with a flashshot of his own and miss.
One bullet in the off. He's being...
Oh no! He's launching the Duparatus!
That's how I get it, get him!
Bomb's surely planted here on this A site.
We'll probably hold him down the library, pro left.
We'll push past that.
So flying.
Oh, he can't put it to work.
It's got any walks in the clutch, not today.
For Aurora, not this round.
And the def use comes in from mouse.
It was close, but they are still in inferno.
And they had what they needed right there.
Slight planted, but couldn't find themselves
in safe positions in mouse, activate in time, huge
cyber leaf in their camp.
Well, and things together, round by round.
But you can see what all that aura needs is one explosive plate from one of these individuals.
We know how capable this players are from popping off their Santeras sliding through and finding that impact.
Shouldn't downspinks on his stance in 40 or side.
And there's a lot of potential in every round, but now on this one finally gets a little bit of an easier opportunity, it's just going to be
This will simply have it seen a lot of rounds like these.
Out of the war.
What has been so healthy for them?
And towards eat building more and more confidence with every shot that rattles off for himself.
I think forward, good counter utility, and a bullet as well from exertion, that's two.
Down bottom B, and this crown evaporates for Aurora.
Both of the seven about to be 12 to eight, and if things go according to plan,
There's magic to have a sick one. Do you get him?
See a world the laid out hero Torzi getting a little bit greedy pop on a shot on felt down by Jimmy on the right foot
Nice timing for him to swing there crunching on middle
Now it's gonna get back to eight now
Four rounds in a row required for them to take it into overtime
But the guns will be put back into place here for a row.
Are we seeing some flashy plays?
You've seen some big punches towards that A-bombs.
I could shut down.
Just imagine how much more of the tank here.
To get one more round on the board.
He said it's definitely been the red and butter here.
See this T-side trying to fight for car control right now.
utility forced out of the ct hands enough hold back a little bit more passive but he
feeling that heat and the amount of utility falls down. My cure for a re-adjustment here
walking through this smoke in towards porch. This is a little bit of information I do
if I'd walks exploiting out the play now and pit. He's isolated. Torjeee? Oh, collateral though
a devastating shot to the offense. Jimmy still stuck in pit. Oh my god. Oh my god.
The third, absolutely locking it in, but Soulfly has broken through the pit anchor.
That's the one Soul, A-Sight Defender.
Bombs gonna be planting two versus four, low HP here for the remaining attackers of Aurora,
but time working in their favor and Soulfly trying to make a patient play inside the boiler.
He could actually be held for by spinks though, and now we're caught up in an impossible position.
He will be dealt with nine rounds for a mouse, a sigh of relief for Torji as he puts together the triple kill to stop a calamity.
And what a skewer right there out of the obshot.
Save them some big concerns right there.
That was an isolated pitplay, that smoke fades just in time.
You honestly can't believe that Torzi is sticking around there when blocks it get spotted out and you know there's only a single bit player
You want to rotate as the Gopper
In towards the motor to provide some support
It sticks around in towards arches
Almost becomes a late rotate aspect of that play and
Even in doing so managed to find the multi-kill with one-op shot even threads in another
So where's he keeping the round and safe hands and now's gonna put together a knife big opportunity to strike I feel like the white call for Aurora
Now nothing to tank just yet still more to do half by coming through the tech nines are out
Every around is so dangerous
from a roorah.
This could be another one of them as once again, 3 man B lean into apartment controls
in my heart.
Holy blind, nearly gets the kill anyways with a Jimmy.
He's running away, knife out.
Oh, fuck.
Jimmy, just barely escapes towards you.
Great teammate.
Dude.
Low state here in between that duo playing in tandem.
Sure the bonus trade could have been a trade that towards he backs up his teammate.
And ensures that again this huge gameplay and that madness got hooked up to head into this round.
It's going to be met by a Grussian.
This execute left limited utility gets dropped to the floor with every kill that's found.
Just punch you play.
Look at it be nullified here. There could be an HE for the big pit though. And I might finish off a fright, other way.
Here, Jimmy Gown, and now the site collapse coming through,
though towards he does not miss right now.
The teammates are going to fall and talk to me.
Check Nines, do a damage here, and again, another opportunity for the rookie in the old
guard to get the job done in lock and playoffs.
Aged with picks up the off to try and do it too.
Smoke forward here from Aged.
We're not going to wait for this retake.
Molly in towards the site.
The advance begins.
Magger, online, clears out the plane.
Now, looking on the swing connects with the off.
It's got to be Broland 1v2 or Aurora are in the Toron.
Roland, stepping forward,
Magger holding the cross, a 4k to end it.
No, my god. Broland with one.
But still flying a rookie!
Brings Aurora took playoff.
A new player, a new lease of life on his team.
You doubt them out of the elite.
But right now in 2026, they are back.
Competitive Lans of Adjustments here, call it in.
The young gun to get the job done and so flagged.
That's grinded for so long.
And the depth of tier 2 with tier 3.
And finally getting his breakthrough moment has to be called upon to steal the deal.
And ensure that this game is closed out by Aurora,
they will be able to sweep this series on in front of.
Big time finish coming through from Soulfly.
Throwed a great campaign in stage 2.
Locking themselves in opportunity in playoffs versus a team like Mouse.
an incredible sequence going to get more exciting as you said. A team that's eager to break
back into this elite conversation and play off run here might be their chance to do so.
That this is just incredible stuff from the side of Aurora for miles. Obviously they still
have their moments and then still have a chance down in below a bracket but it's very even
Big, that we've seen mows in lower brackets, facing a limitation in group stages.
We know them as a team that always gets their semi-final appearance, but now is their potential
risk for this team in 2026, because they will have to battle through a gauntlet now.
We're going down about it here, it's going to be a big gauntlet down there in the lower
bracket.
We've got to be able to use the task for what's going on for most, still a team where we
have high expectations for it.
But we look at the energy that Aurora bring into the opening stage here and into an opportunity
To now and stage to walk themselves in playoffs and to give a lot of credit to Maggio as well
Some of the XS some of the the T side that we saw at the time
We saw a little bit on the player cams. He was able to from the very end of the round that they won
Call out and continue that call out into three time there. It was so decisive
everyone bought in there for the side of Aurora and that's the sort of leadership you
got to bring to the table that is exactly what he has in store here so we're gonna
talk to magic after a big win-locking in playoffs here now.
Aurora with their stage one buff can we call it that yeah is it too early? I
think yeah it's a buff but it's always advantage sometimes when you start from
stage one you know you'll be able to to be used to the only running
So I think it's above you.
Yeah, so I'm saying it's kind of a bit of a buff right there.
You guys take down Mao's today.
When you walked into the server today,
what were you expecting versus what you got?
Yeah, I expect to inform a people from them.
They expect their show I think.
I think the map was okay.
I think I feel we would play a great construct today.
And I think we deserve the win.
That's all.
You're going into those playoffs.
You're going to be playing in that arena, bigger arena,
full people.
I'd have to imagine somebody there speaks in Turkish, so you want to talk to them?
You want me to say anything, please.
Yes, I'd like to say thank you to you for your comments.
I'll let you know.
I'll give you a nice name.
I'll give you my case.
Thank you very much for your time today. Congratulations. Thank you, Chats. Some of
the little please see you guys.
Madger always a family man and he got a respect it too, but the talk of the town at the
moment obviously another strong performance for Madger, but Soulfly is currently a 1.3
rating at I am Crack Out across these two series as well. Soulfly absolutely cooking
And his debut tournament, thank you, S tier tournament as well, it's incredible, you know, this has been a tournament of debut.
There's been a lot of call-ups, you know, talking about Mongols in Copa, Zera, that didn't go well, but this is the pick-up that you should be talking about.
So, question about it here. I mean, talking about teams that they just played against that didn't make or also moves that felt like this was the roster that could complete them in mouse.
Obviously, not locking themselves in playoffs just yet, but still a fighting chance, but as you said, you know, focusing in on teams that needed to make some adjustments here, you know, we're not only talking about Aurora making another playoff.
Talking about them also need to carry it forward. And so for so fly, next task at hand here for this guy is to compete on a stage. We know that's never easy, but you know, we're hoping to see him continue forward and show that form.
Yeah, and so, well, Aurora into playoffs, they'll get a chance to fight for the semi-finals,
but now, some elimination games taken place here on the B stream as Aurora sent Falcons
down, they're taking on the Eagles.
It's North America of NRG, that's coming up next.
See you guys in a bit.
This is basement dwellers first advertising and our second drop is it's up actually you're seeing this
It's up it's available on the ESL shop had a first go at a jacket and I'm really proud of it
I'm always at an interesting clothes, but you know seeing behind the scenes how the sausage is made
It's been a lot of fun and if you'd like the clothes tell me if you hate the clothes tell me
But try them before you slag them off. I think they're really comfy
So yeah, that's my advert. I'm gonna try again. I'm gonna record another one
Oh, no chance.
All done.
All done!
Don't break right here.
And no trouble.
That's all.
Don't get off.
You don't get off.
I gotta get out
I got to get out, I feel it here, side of me
But you know what just to cut to me, baby
The feeling of money is in me
In the sky, I feel it's people walking
And now I'm all stopped
I just can't waste time
So getting
Gotta say my soul
Gotta get my
Gotta get on the heat
I live in the laps
I've been
Got to get through
Come on, got to get up
Gotta get on the heat
Yeah, I'm just a little sweet
I'm just no man
And where are those where I feel
Come on, I can't help but follow my own feet
And I'm just going to be
How they feel
I just keep falling more
Who's gotta do the play?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's gotta get on me
You can't hold me back, oh
Got to get on, got to get on
I'm waiting for you, I'm gonna punch you before you come here
This is the standard one in the game
Stand away to me, forgive me
How did I change the power?
I was never awake in here
How did this deal for you, I can feel the dream?
We're not born to feel the prayer
.
Just taking him to the chest
Just look alive, why?
And look on the way to the end
There's one who can see you look kinda
I mean, something better to do
I'm just standing out and getting you
I'm calling out to you
The Intel Extreme Master's Crack on, when he 26, brought you by ESL, partnership with Intel.
Acer Predator.
E-A-Jail.
Zow.
Chex.
And City of Crack.
for the day here at the talk stream masters crack off we're taking over the second
every stream here for the second half of the day this is the game everybody's excited
about everyone's been waiting for everybody has been waiting for this the big clash
of Falcons and versus at our team yeah they've been talking about it nonstop since
the camera least last night yeah big big battle here uh one of the top teams in North America
guys been buying regionally has been doing some good things and obviously we have the excitement
of OCS, the frimacy in stage 1 over here in Crackout. Now in stage 2 we got to test
that but obviously the big ones on the other side.
We're opening up that conversation again on where everybody wanted OCS to go to look.
He's doing that. It's like it's on it's on a rotation. It's just a couple of years.
We're going to move OCS back up. Oh no, bro move back down. Okay, let's bring it back.
Oh, we'll bring it back to the bracket here. We'll look at group free. It's a lower bracket.
We've got NRG versus team Balkans.
The winner of this will move on to play against 3D Max.
We've just got absolutely wrecked by itsalities.
But the loser unfortunately goes home.
For Balkans that just can't happen today,
you're going to produce NRG a team with a little bit of experience
in terms of nitro obviously coming through
as most experienced player of the squad.
See what you can do with this team.
But in terms of the roster is a whole,
there's just nothing really to compare it to that of Southgates.
Yeah, in terms of star power,
you're just gonna blow it away on one side, right?
I'll quite obviously.
But you know what?
All that star power, all that being said,
there's a lot of hay watchers out there today.
Yeah, every day.
So, you know, the star power is not doing everything you'd like,
and obviously we're trying to find ways for falcons
to make that star power shine each and every game
and they're struggling with it on the other side.
Yeah, Nitro is gonna be the experienced captain
leading the way, all of this 10 year over in liquid.
We've always been an awesome and interesting acquisition,
the dang coming over to this team.
And Nitro, who's retired at Unretarded,
and retired at Unretarded, but he's back again.
We're tired.
Yeah, even Sonic is in here now.
I mean, he came back in and he's got some skills,
but really the big talking point about his team's obviously
OCS, kind of a movie too early.
It's just the fact that the house drawing
has played was in stage one,
and how even after his kind of stick and liquid
were he sort of dropped off and lost his game.
He's been building it back up in like secret kind of over
North America.
Now I'm also on it now.
It's popping off on that stage over in crack up.
Well, we got to see them play a little bit earlier
in the year at our G, at the small one,
which is a local NA event.
What's up, Flom, you tuned in today, my brother?
Oh, so, got the shoe on the head.
And we got NRG, who are team that have to show us
a little bit of action coming into this game.
I mean, the thing is, this was an exciting stage
once in, but we all expected they would drop off
and stage two, so far that has been the case.
Yeah, a little bit.
I think a lot of the series is going to come in for me
as how confident as Falcons going to look.
Because this is a game I think they should be able to come
into and record this of what are the map.
Right.
better winner or their their have higher win rates on most of the maps. I think you come in no matter what it ends up being if you're
Falcons if I don't see this team being supremely confident against that RG that's not like red flag number one
Eagle versus Saul con Jason. Eagle versus Falcons. It's a beautiful battle for him. It's all this time. You know, I was on the free one the day
And I see Eagle when God said they've got horror Jason. Yeah, they do and they're watching
Especially when you see one over here in this part of the world. There's something extra special about it
Well, that man on the screen speaking of star power not eagles speak of horror
The highest rated player for the Falcons, obviously here in this second stage, I'm probably in crack up, so it's only been one game, there's series loss against a roar that played previous delusion to one in that series, but Niko is an absolute monster in it, and it continues some of that form that we saw previously when they were playing about Chocicate,
Blast and Niko is kind of stepping up and you saw a little bit more of that, so yeah, it's been a nice little glimpse back into the past,
Reneiko has just been the hot hand constantly and dominant and that kind of force to be reckoned with on his team.
We know what, I'm liking it.
Last event yesterday could have played a Hiko,
started the falloff, got MVP in a losing effort.
So I've seen Niko start off 2026,
just in decent form.
We'd love to see that continue, obviously,
for the rest of the year.
But for NRG, it is a very tough task.
And the lovely megamines over a Reddit Jason,
they've given us a lot of reasons as to why Falcons
are going to win this game.
Yeah, we enjoyed this thread, didn't we?
And I thought I would just kind of tell you
some of the reasons right at it came up with.
Sure.
So, Falcons have star power in Montesy, Niko and Kyushukay.
Sure, I like that. I would say Montesy and Niko, yes, Kyushukay.
Yes, she's, he feels a little feast and famine to me still.
Yes, Falcons players never tilt, especially Niko.
Right, very calm.
Yeah, well, we still need the results of his calm demeanor at the, uh, the blast last week.
They gave away that table, right with it.
Yeah, that's true.
Hold on it.
Dude, they could have missed a money off that, but they give it away.
Sure.
Uh, infernal come an interest.
We'll be doing the bottom of the street.
But they also have very elaborate tactics and they never lose any 2v5s, especially on a Ferno, historically, they would never lose them there.
Yeah, fundamentally very strong. Post-clans have historically just, you know, been something that's really up their wheelhouse.
Yes, exactly. Also, their tactical timeout to more than just nice E-Lia.
That's true. He does occasionally smile and clap.
Yes. And they never missed Eagle shots, especially from behind.
Well, you know, those are the easy one, the easiest ones to hit.
And so it will be an easy 2-0, 2-13-0 is for Falcons.
All he's got in, read it, or call it in that one Jason.
So I really see no issue with that.
And I think that's the script for today's game.
As we go to Furno, Ancient, and Dust2.
Yeah, I mean, I guess there's the perfect map to get a couple of 13-os if you're Falcons.
I think looking at this one, that pick up ancient.
When you get to that second map, we just saw energy get kind of smashed on that the other day.
They only got one round on their T-Sites.
So offensively struggled, so Falcons maybe sucks in some weakness there.
But regardless, happy to take it to a strength for themselves, which again goes back to that confidence I wanted to see out of this team.
So first up, it doesn't give you a whole lot with this map, but I like seeing just the confident make of engine.
Yeah, okay, forward to it.
Illumination online here in Crack Albezzar reminder, you know, coming into an event like this,
Falcons has been built for tournaments of this stature, you know, struggling, slugging through the lower bracket, isn't where they want to be.
But as the results, they have to get now as an RG way of part of them.
Yeah, I mean, if you put together a team like this, these kind of pressure moments in this scenario
should be ones that you're able to overcome. You want to talk about experience with my
trail over on energy, been the most experienced. Well, everyone here on this team can
just totally eclipse what the energy players have experienced. So much stage presence, so many
big trophies, so many games in front of big crowds, pressure should be nothing to them in this scenario.
But they do have those expectations. And that's going to be the hard part is what a devastating
loss this would be after a string and slew and feeling like a lot of disappointment around this
falcon. See, I'm unable to reach their pinnacle that they've been aiming for. I had an elimination
here we're just going a long way to just be devastating to start the season this season.
NRG falcons, we're starting off on a turnover now.
I'll get in to the boost around and uh we're gonna see two drill broodies out. Obviously for
monacy and we'll see a good amount of utility here for NRG so we'll see a nitro is cooking
coming into this pistol. What is he cooking? All right, a couple players over towards the
hand that's gonna be Sonic and bro you got nitro and support with utility. Look at the push
down middle though. Nobody seems to be aware of it. Nobody has eyes on it. Already back
foot for energy. Oh, Montesity. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this play. Hey behind
it. The bottom of the banana smoke. Grounded back. I really was expecting more of that.
Well, no, O.C. comes through behind to Montesity and kill the suitcase. Both go down
and Nico on one HP. Freestyle. This pistol front of our team. Kicks has got to try and pull
them back into it. And that's a good shot here or a bro. Yeah, lovely little tap. He needed that
because that's going to slow him down. Make him second gas in the smoke is popped as well
at the meantime. So no access into the B bomb site. Nico, one HP plays a sneaky position.
information gathering and a position that maybe goes unclear.
I remember George has slipped the net, so Tesla's could be in a little bit of trouble
depending on how this plays out.
You can though?
I'll always spot the likes.
Did he?
Spot at the mid-player?
I don't think he ever spotted George.
Well, Tesla's fine, anyways.
So we're all good.
Back to banana.
It's the final play.
It's the only play.
Molotov on night chill, but they'll just use the smoke for CT spawn.
Kicks and going to be blocked off, but he's going to challenge with the flashbang.
Why did, oh, are the energy players, OC goes down,
one versus three for Nitro, a bomb plant would be
just about the best you can hope for,
but there's surely no way that happens.
Tap down in front of coffins,
and then kick some out of strut through that smoke.
So OC gets him going a little bit early on in the round
and you're thinking, okay, this is a look
in fantastic Ben RG.
Kick sound and pulls it right back.
It's because they handle that mid-place so well, right?
When you see monacy and you see it through the x-ray
that no one from energy is looking behind
or anything like that, you feel like monacy's lined up
for a double kill and that would be the pistol
with the fact that they handle it so well,
makes you feel like they actually have a way bigger advantage.
Lovely shooting from Kingston.
Two one taps with USB, second one through smoke.
That ain't bad at all.
And pissed around to the Falcon so they can start with the advantage.
No bomb plant, a save for the most part.
No armor for these energy players, upgraded to Eagle for OC.
Well, the massive top middle need to go to catch the first monacy
on the follow-up is George in sentenced to death and that would just three
blocks here for an RG they're going to go absolutely know what no dream of a
ball plant he did this point so two-year-old cleanstone here for falcons to an
into today though we know we've obviously named a little bit but falcons
absolutely have expectations of handling business against an RG. Oh yeah I mean
if yeah it's fun even about things at all and all but like
Falcons are overwhelming favorites in this there's no reason you can't actually
make a great argument for why energy would upset in this series outside of
have some hurtually an individual performance
that propels them forward.
So I felt concerned of all the advantages in the world
and there's a great chance this is, I mean, let's be real.
Let's just prepare ourselves for the possibility.
There's a real chance this is a blow.
I apologize to all my North American friends out there
in the world tuning in, but just have to accept the reality
that that is something that could very well happen
throughout this game.
Yeah, but having that reality and possibility
makes it even more impressive and exciting.
What do you actually fight back here?
Yeah, I think so.
Right?
So, trust us, you will have energy
you will be capable of today.
but get into the first buy-round, it's going to be a gluel for O.C. and everybody else
going to play with the AK.
Monusy could be very happy checking his scoreboard after this round, see his utility damage pop-up,
no one is putting the date in the right place.
Good for a bottle to take his stance.
No way from Kiosy Kay, but they're going to come back for it even more.
Cleans up that damage from Kicks and Nitro goes down, that's utility that helps Kiosy Kay nail down the first kill.
towards the top middle wake up test on the balcony if he stands straight away removing
bro and so I just keep crumbling here for an RG. Is that they're not getting anything off
the bat, right? That's would be okay if you're getting ground off of right? It's
a shame something having some sort of transaction but oh see in George just getting
dispatches all this while and a very comfortable beginning to the game here for
a fall case. And that's the biggest thing RG is going to have to be caution something
be wary of. That's got to be staged. I mean, you know, it's got to be just something
they limit throughout this half of. You don't want to just kind of lose those one-two
players like take trickling deaths, one by one without any trade without any space gain,
or that any map control taken in that death. So you could see in this round you lose two
players in banana at different points and they don't have any ability to kind of work in tandem.
And then the round just falls apart because you're forced into a really bad play at the A-bomb site.
I'll just fiddle in through all the dades, oh see you're gonna be down to 11 HP from that.
I think that doesn't know how lucky really was that, and now we've got open out of control
that've done damage on confirmed to energy's T side, another great start throughout
here for falcons.
Molotov for Sonic, open it for us to reaction. It's not going to happen.
Do you believe in the way? A little bit of utility for the set piece.
I think there's a mist-moking the next. One does make it towards spawn arches, but they mistome
library smoke and the monocies are just going to destroy them.
Alright, fair enough, monocies. There we go, carbon about it. It's just so easy for monocies.
Eventually running out of opportunities to drop OCU, we've taken down by the D-go, but the
tread is an obediently case. Okay, and we now have George left alone at boiler, so
and we'll be cornered here from Falcons. I've climbed to your buddy building up as
why you're on the CT side. Yeah, well, that's nice and clean as you like. Early advantage
over to Falcons at a big way, just not enough kills coming out for energy to limit economic growth.
So now you've got Falcons that's starting to build up into this game, they've got plenty of money
behind him now you have to play the game on nightmare mode even harder when you have to
grind through all the cash and it might even be a disadvantage that OST managed to kill
monocyan this round because he's just gonna pick up the off and he's like right now I can just
find the off. I'll have to keep the rifles tuned in there to be a P and life might just get that bit
more typical here for an RG.
A little bit of time out to talk things over so it'll get rifles back and hands and it's gonna be up to night show to come up with a solution
You imagine a map like in fur or you're gonna want to establish some success over in banana
They haven't been able to do that yet. It's been very least you want to be able to establish that you can force them off
That portion of the map force them back into the bombsite without taking heavy losses and return without losing a player or two in the process
Once you can establish that sort of success then you can open up the map. So let's see how bro handles this in banana
the tip of the spear and he's solo.
There's all the way up.
Good position again here for bro.
Just put him on top of the tar now.
Place for Joe Cirquez, and it will be
road-of-fall, actually.
It looked like you would have had the advantage
for Joe Cirquez quick to that reaction.
Yeah, both well aware of what was potentially coming
with that smoke break, both ready for the fight.
Just, just, just, just,
is able to mail it.
Want to see now in the hallway?
position in to gain with the A to E P all the way down the stairs, Falcons
gonna be feeling good about this. I mean they've got banana, top banana control,
they want that first fight, they've got the apartments, although monocity,
you can't believe he's quick enough to react and of course he'll go back to the
bedroom and finish off George. Yeah, he's getting smashed now. Yeah, all right.
You can't do anything at this point. No, it's hard. It's very, very difficult. This
is gonna be a very suffocating CT side of the wheels like so. There's this
smoke towards CT to block off the angle. We'll be playing it passively
with only 18 HP.
Funny you play here so now arriving as well.
Kicks in us here.
Monacy's got support with some utility.
They can just drop flash bangs in.
Break the smoke.
Make everything you want to do.
Just absolute hell.
Yeah, this first five rounds have been very easy.
Four of all kids.
Not throw gaining one kill back here on Kicks and you can see now
they've got the information that you mid players running down mid.
Flanking through banana.
You're trapped in here.
There's no way you can get out.
All right boys.
Find a way to lose.
That's Falcon special.
This is the one given to us the two five it's done. Shut up. You're right
This would be all the one 15 seconds left on the clock. Oh, see if you're waiting going back into the banana fight
There's another player there. Oh, she cares. Oh my god. No, no way. It can't happen again
Just to get yeah always got down as well. I'm someone to one be one
Monacy against nitro Reddit told me they don't lose to be five so luckily the clock is on their side this time
So they don't yeah, but that was that was down close. Hey, that was way too close
So I needed the extra teammate.
Oh, he was like three more seconds.
At least let him get the bomb plan.
That was your answer.
Oh my god.
I like look no joke from even about it and everything.
And we're all going to have a little bit of fun with that
because it seems to actually be the Falcon special.
But that's just so costly.
Like that's the funmer.
Like, you know, there's not like more of a career
at the stage for energy.
It's not like there's some kind of like,
we're when you can take out of this.
But like Falcon, this is just one area where I think this is the
part of the game that is preventing them from reaching their peak
is these like fundamental inability to play these rounds.
So well that like they can have so much more money right now
Losing three extra players is so painful
It's my
Just like you call it before it even starts and then you just see it's our draw her apples. It's wild
But
Okay, you're going to the top of the down a fight. You're gonna walk away with both dogs three tails there. We got less around down. No, it loses one
And you know you stay belies that money again
Yeah, I'm gonna cover all that damage in the previous round all five players staying up a point of damage
and that's it, so it's six rounds in a row here for Falcons.
Yeah, and that's an old sequencer from KSUK,
and it's good to see him get that triple.
I mean, that's been one of the things that we've all kept our eyes on the most
is addition to this roster is, you know,
fertile. Yeah, and Furno is performance on this map as a map
that we know he just doesn't play a lot of any of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, fortunately, for...
He's getting better by the way.
Yeah, so Jack, from start from when it began to now it's night and day.
So he's clearly been putting in some work some research and falcons have clearly been working with them as well to help acclimat him and
It's looking better and better every time we see him on the map time out right at the end of free time for energy really maximizing the number of seconds they get
You know, perhaps the most surprising thing about this so far is that reddit analysis is on point star powers showed up
They don't lose to be thoughts
We'll count the clock as the is the 15 made there
On track for the 13. Oh, you know everything's going great actually
I don't remember what else they said.
Yeah, well, and the timeouts are not just nice, you know.
Oh, that's right. Probably a little bit of a nice, uh, kiosk, okay.
Right now. Yeah, probably.
Just nice and general.
That's a nice room at RG though.
Daps is a lot of work to do in those timeouts.
All right, it's okay. Okay, going into the top and out of fight.
Not sure, bro, and so on. I thought it's going down very quickly here.
And he finishes off the fourth hill as well.
Yeah, then we go.
Right, didn't say nice. Oh, yeah, he says nice. My team
All right here we go six years start for Falcons buy back here for an RG
I just got to play with the gulio
Is there anything you would be pausing for call for an RG like is there anything that's going slightly well in these rounds for them then you can build on no
Not yet. I'm looking for it though. I'm looking I'll point it out wouldn't happen. Yeah
the
all right, they're going to walk through that mid smoke find a nice timing
you're positive for you. It's not a good time to get some control for the kill
provided by George there we go. Nico a little bit shocked to see them kind of step
through with that and that pacing. But what you can do with the man advantage
tests is you're a perfect position. It is check to clear to shots missed.
The bomb dropped in middle night flows one is fight against Kilser G. So
The important engagement going the way here, that RG, if they maintain to play your advantage, they've still got a bit on the clock.
I never cook, and now we got a positive.
Ooh, gonna fall back to the positive, they're going to the bomb side with only one player at it.
Yeah, kicks in has a Molotov and H-E-G grenade, so he's got some ability to stall, and then you would imagine with the positions over towards the A-bombs.
So it's has to, as in Montesir, are gonna push down middle. In fact, they might just do that right now, when he peeks down and sees it clear.
They might start just getting the jump on it with that smoke just now fading.
So kicks in out of position to drop a Molotov can maybe sell out a plant, make it a little bit uncomfortable by time for
Monocity and Tessas who are coming in quick.
Yeah, it's tough here for kicks in to do much. Trying to speed this rough to even delay as much as you possibly can, but the
arc quick up through top and out of Nitro went into another fight. George goes down, but Nitro
follows up again. It's a three kick from Nitro leading his squad, but now the leader of
Falcons must come back and win this in a 1v3 and our G-looking for the first round win out of the
out and there's no way there should give this one up. You got one player's known ruins.
One all the way back in banana.
Kicks and doesn't have the utility to pressure the mill does have to position.
He's what? Look at the plan. Oh my god. Stop it.
Okay, that plan. I don't want to see that again.
He just stuck it and wanted it. Yeah.
That was kind of all that really needed to happen. There's walks out at the fuse. He's a hold on.
Look what they planted the ball. Thank you very much for the free round one.
I guess someone didn't really think it would be a calm by a planet the palm there
I see who planted but yeah apparently no reminder that I was planted and all man that that's just absolutely destroyed
You're happy
Yeah, devastating. Well, because there were positives in this round a lot up until that moment up until the 1v2 is essentially
Oh my that's such a rough way to lose it. It's really deflating. Okay, I need to
Superior water Jason yeah
Seven rounds in a row for falcons.
That round.
Ugh, it leaves a solid taste of the north.
If you're at our G.
If you're back in a top banana this time,
then not going to get the opening kill.
It's just a jaz come on on.
So for the fight versus throw and more damage being ditched out through the smoke.
How is he alive?
I don't know.
Every bull admit he's got 90 to HP.
Nothing tickled him.
Test it.
He's waiting for the next play.
He knows the reaction is going to come with this direction.
There's the flashbang.
Oh, got a little bit distracted by the one swing.
He stopped with next in line.
He's alone as well.
So it's a port that he strikes and he does strike true offshore.
It's Jewish to go down and there's the wraparound from Sonic.
So Monacies, lack of teammates, lack of support really does come back to fight them and
NRG are into the bomb site this time on a.
Yeah, a little bit more pep in the step on the NRG side.
Now they're getting into things a little bit more aggressive, a little bit more assertive
when they turn to take fight.
Sonic with a really aggressive wraparound on a two-man defense.
Cracks it open first team and another three on three.
Double-up and pit.
up and pit one player inside the bomb site as Falcons work their way around brackets to begin
this retake on kicks I just wait a short as you got a chance to move now yes he does even
go into the angle you're gonna smoke out big pit teammates down gaining space as well to this
retake the Falcons keep it going and they charge back in all three kills coming tandem here
and it is going to be eight rounds in a row for Falcons these rounds are still close
back and back and forth rather here for at RG but unfortunately just none of them going their way
This goes back to the first four rounds as well. I remember when I said like it was energy starting to play this game on Nightmare mode because Falcons was able to win so many clean anti-ecos
Well like these close route with this one with that three player so I'm like last round maybe you one player survives
You can start putting a dent in the economy to start taking away a couple resources here and now you don't have that luxury
Even when you're getting in and getting the bomb plan even though you're giving yourself another buy with the losing bonus
You're still constantly going up against an off everyone's got there's five kids everyone's got full utility everyone's got every weapon they could want
Thank you for got with the bomb was planted.
It's just this cherry on top as well.
Cherry on top.
Well, Kiosuke is playing very well.
It was a positive.
It's a very nice thing to see.
I don't want to bring it up.
Okay.
But bro isn't on pieces.
Have very tough start to the game here as well.
Yeah, which is a shame.
As a shame, I was looking through the stats this morning before coming in,
bros the highest rated player.
I mean, they've only played one series here in Stage 2,
but throw is the highest rated player of that series.
Who's got quite here.
OC had a really rough series to start Stage 2,
where he was the second highest rated player in Stage 1
with all that dominance.
So you're seeing that dip and form as the competition
has increased, the level of competition has increased.
And clearly Falcons just seemed to be a couple steps ahead.
on a scene retreating back into the site it is leaked out was going to the fight against
George leave a energy with just two players
he goes get a back track and trying to catch so many kids he comes to the archway
no win that jewel
now nitro down bottom middle so
That's it, really.
There's not much to say, Jason,
it's nine rounds in a row for Falcons.
No.
Yes, indeed.
Well, it's got the offer the very least.
That's a positive.
That is a positive.
We'll save that on over.
I mean, we definitely anticipated
that NRG would struggle
coming into the next stage of the competition.
Yeah, well, this one's just compounded and gotten worse
because of the way they lost that two V1 against kicks in.
And then you have that 3 V3.
You have to catch your break.
You have 3 V3 post-plank.
I think it's in a kill that we take with these
and destroy all three of you and get the diffused.
So those were back to back rounds.
And it was already kind of a blow it up to them.
But that felt like the two rounds
that you had a chance to kind of stop the momentum
and maybe change things and scrape together
a couple right at the end.
But when both those rounds go away from you so heavily
when you're in favorite positions,
again, you just get the flated.
Just a storage morale destroys the energy inside the team,
destroys the faith that this is actually
a competitive match.
And now we're seeing the results of all that.
I like that, Jason.
I know I just bet in a pretty bleak picture.
It felt very sad because I was going through that.
Just stored the NRG inside the game.
Oh man, I just stumbled upon these things.
I don't even mean to do it.
It's just right there.
It's so raw.
I don't even know it's happening.
Well, not much energy in this team at the moment.
Looking pretty deflated as...
You could understand a third kind of final time
not used in the first half heroes in Furnham.
We also, let's put this in context too.
I mean, look, I'm not going to try and make any excuses to believe
blown out in a game where it doesn't even, they haven't really been able to
create too many positive opportunities for themselves.
Well, let's also remember, this is an energy team that last year didn't get a
whole lot of chances to come over and play a big European opposition.
This is a team that needs this experience still.
They're in that kind of a category.
Okay.
Nice to aggressive stance from OC.
He's got the leg and now they know they have might Ernicos.
He's me boxed in.
He is going to be able to get away in a vacuum.
Nobody wants to apply the further pressure, but early damage dealt.
you know I mean this team needs some reps against the best teams in the world they need to
just camp to practice to play in these officials they got the major last year but
nitrile wasn't able to come due to the birth of his child this is step one of the project
of twenty twenty six for this team and step up and prove across the year you're not expecting
this team to be able to come into twenty twenty six and immediately compete with falcons
it's just not expectation the energy would have set for themselves
This is a team that are not winning even domestic events in North America to start the year.
You're not going into the final, but that's the likes of M.E.D.
Well, you also get blown out on one of those two maps, I think it was 13 to 1 on one of the maps, 13, 10 on the other map, and the Grand Final Back at Flomland.
There's a lot of work to do.
Yeah, a lot of work, but outside of that, I mean, other than that, they handled with regional competition pretty damn well.
But this is a team that's kind of geared at the moment to play American competition.
All right, kicks into the distraction, he goes here with his low HP, all he does when's
coming close, good player from Sonic.
Three on two, man advantage actually around for an energy.
All right, get that bomb down and somewhere someone better tell you what they're playing.
Draw just one.
He wants to drop, actually.
That's just spamming it.
So the bomb's out of the 15 seconds towards on that flank.
Yeah, it isn't a time to take it this slow.
Yeah, he's got to run.
Now, you're going to distract.
You got to pull some attention away, so Sonic can actually climb that bomb, Sonic gives
it's tonight, though, in the final second by Tessus again,
unfortunately for an OG to come close to the round victory again,
but it's just ripped out of their hands on this B-POM site.
It's now a double-fingers for falcons.
This half continues to be devastating.
Yeah, this half continues to be extremely rough.
It's at any time that feels like they have a chance to make something out of a round.
It's ripped away from them.
Tough one, but good, again, to make it at least competitive.
It's just at this point in the game, look at the scoreboard.
you need you need better than competitive quite obviously this point it's just
avoid the gooseck that's that's priority number one now in this match for
our geez don't get 13 out I get the one get one round here
another one's right in racially genius is Jason and we can't let that happen
oh we can't but we'll be kind of funny this is it this is the round I can feel
Something in the water Jason Monacy is gonna miss Nika's gonna be smoked off
If I can't let my shot on the two players
Oh my god Monacy's got a collateral
Nice Helia
You got two doubles two collateral's yeah, he did
Well, well, you know what, this is what we wanted from Falcon to know in terms of all right
If you're if you're playing close to kiss and our G if you struggle against that
Or you don't we have big problems
You know what that's the that's the nice little injury
It's ready when we was watching Flomland because the caster curses were off the charts there
I'm not even salivating things even more. It can fit you
11 to nothing for falcons
Well, I want to see Bro get off the goose egg man if if we can't get around for energy
Just get bro one
Last round of this half night throw it through banana energy racing gonna be Bob site night
Throw there we go. That's exactly what they ordered now. It's Nico's turning him from first oranges
Can't eat do anything with his golden eight K47 golden opportunity if he's from past about checking all
He chose handling business, shutting up shop is pro will get his kill.
He's finally got one into the peace site and they're looking to that bomb plant now, so
a 3v2, the NRG can't afford to drop here, get their one route, get off that zero and
close this half with one on the T-Side.
Yeah, we're fighting to get rid of two goose eggs in this one.
We've already gotten one, taking away off the board.
Now we need the other testes coming in.
Monacies showing up pretty late in the day.
Oh, that's not the idea.
That's a great moly that.
Attardies loving it. They're so happy
That's that's making it more difficult
I'm self that night. We're getting caught by today post god. Oh George and toll on you my friend
Can you get out of it? You know first round? Yes, he can't produce you here. It's the one day into the half
But it will be foggins with a dominant score line here in crack-off looking at taking for no
1.
While Falcons in full control gear on the Furo against NRG, it's a day of survival
and the Intel Extreme Mastery Crack-off and right now it's looking like it's a one-way street.
Not much you can tune now if you're NRG here on this first map.
I guess you've just got a- there's many rounds of positive can, it's that cliche of just
trying to warm yourself off into the game a little bit, but there's a clear difference
in ability right now in Falcons just in the previous one.
This is the game we hope to have said is like biggest Hollywood impressioners just like
Let's let's let's you know guys. Let's just not get tilted in this. Let's not you know like yeah
We lost
Let's just not let's not let this map piss us off. Well ancient's up next
That's falcons map pick. I was gonna say that yeah, it's there's yeah
It is tough to think this is energy's map pick
And this is the map that falcons have struggled on yeah
There's a couple layers to it
So worst onion ever and kiss who guys 14 and five and most of the bodies for foul
The B bomb side, the stack for energy is at the A bomb side.
All right, bro, your moment.
Go from one to five kills real quick.
Or 100 to 0HP even quicker.
Wow, that is just instant deletion coming in from me, Joe.
Can't sok it.
Oh, he's gone.
Oh, see close about him.
It's also not going to move down mid.
Quick, quick, look here.
I know what you're trying to get in behind.
All right.
He's going to lead the way. He's got a my show is with them. George is with them.
They're already well. I think it's starting to hear the footsteps and he's like,
actually, I don't want to do that whatsoever. We'll just play.
We're just playing like we're defending the bomb site.
Yeah, and they are. Is that bomb is now planted? Oh, my daughter, O.C.
And he's got some gray shots in him here. He's cleared out two players immediately
with no shot at return. So moving into the site. George has gone down to
Montesy's clock. Who's waiting for another fight to come this way.
They walk in towards him. But O.C. is killing everybody right now.
I'm talking. It's because Sonic's stepping up alongside him and they win the
to paste around. Okay. Okay. I see you, O.C. That's some disgusting shooting. I can't believe
he clearly testes in that fashion. I still feel like that set up should have had much more
impact and been much more efficient to actually hold off that retake, but I mean, you got to
give credit over to O.C. for the excellent shots to give the openings and to give the space,
the rest of his team. And then I think because that set up, well, the crossfire is a really nice.
It was very passive, right? It was second-horrent just no peaking. It was dark, no peaking and emo.
It was monocity at coffins as the most aggressive one, so you did give them a lot of room to move up
And but I still feel like that trap should have been stronger
Still you got a bomb plant so you're gonna buy in the second arm sure
They will be a PL for us you should away he wants to get going he wants to show what he can do on the CT side of the furrow
During the down middle
The chance missing off is opportunity to crack things open, but Falcon's now know they're dealing with it all from the other side
I should probably excites the hell out of him. They're like, let's go get that free off. Let's go get that chief weapon
utility might be a little bit difficult for falcons to work with depending on how this
round plays out. They're going to step through their front bracket smoke take the risk
as it fades. Nobody's peeking. Nobody's push forward for energy. Very passive defense
relying on this off of OCD. But again, because of that, there's not a lot of defensive
utility either. So there's not a whole lot to disrupt this attack, but that's a great
start. Opening kill for OCD and a 5 on 4.
Creeping very slowly. O.C. will clear our knee joint and Georgia swing with the tent.
And now I'm going to ask the right team player to come in on G, nothing you can do if you're
falking when you go into that peak. You've got someone coming out arch all taking the first
peak. MP9 swinging without hesitation. Yeah, that looks really coordinated. That looks really
well-thought out. The off slides into the angle grabs the first kill you'll never expect
the SMG to hard swing off that M4 pop set of arches. Really nice protocol set up for
RNG. That looks really cool.
But it was an easier round as we mentioned Falcons.
Three galleels, the strongest weapons they had, not a whole lot of nades and utilities,
so a lot of the things they're doing is kind of dry peeking into angles against Ocees off
as well. He's loving those kind of fights coming in his direction.
So now we go back down to pistols.
All five players upgrade to D-Gles. Nobody's picked up armor.
and
an energy much like the first half of the number one is is win this round of that
taking too many gets don't let these deals just take away weapon force
you're revised is kind of a limited a couple thousand dollars out of your wallet
it's never fun
Can I shoot a chance without D-GLE?
Not gonna get you, though.
P-Chill.
I'm the energy's just saying, we don't really want to peek anything.
And Falcons is hoping that they're going to get that impatient North American attitude
to step into some of their crosshairs, but it's not happening right now.
Energy just playing this smart and saying, you guys are the ones that have to commit,
So, come bring your unarmored deagles to our bomb sites.
Two players creeping up mid for Falcons.
Just so you can hit them, get a turn.
The corner can't line up the shot fast enough.
Oh, see, a little bit quicker on the draw.
And then you have Sonic and Bro with the B bomb site
the next to be tested.
You have Sonic just looking down.
We'll get away from those flashes.
We're gonna take the first contact.
Good wall bang is wall spam down monacy without a fair fight
Trying to do the same again. It's who against Texas
And now the drill broad is a voci of cut off the archway push and a fourth row for energy
Can really tell that bro spent 11 rounds in this game without a kill because he's not feeling bad about being ready
What's so up?
Yeah
I'm gonna take everything I can get. I'm gonna do what I can yep
Got a respect it and that's what energy you're doing right now. I want to infer it on doing what they can pick it up
Round up to round in this CT side
to now the going gets a little tougher as the buy will return to the hands of
Falcons.
Look, I mean, obviously it'd be nice to see a few more
sequences.
I really like that Rhapsody play with the off in the SMG swing and
afterwards, as if that was a fun thing.
It'd be cool to see more of those before energy, eventually, or
I mean, if they were to pitch like that, would be cool to see a few
more rounds like that to feel like energy's working themselves into the
flow of the game, right?
And then all of a sudden, you can talk about, you know, maybe they've
kind of woken up for map number two, you get some of the comms flow and
just a little bit of positivity in their favor.
Smoke for left side mid, that's going to block vision from George, and nobody's aggressive and
lane, so they won't really have any information on how Falcons is scaling in brackets,
but all the utility tells them that brackets is being overtaken by Falcons at the moment.
And Sonic will have a decision to make if he wants to stick around in fight, if he's
going to trust him for those counter-utility, or if he wants to bail out.
I felt that it's not that game control of top banana, I mean this is just an easy
perch if you just want to set up an execute and go for it.
Doesn't look like they're very interested in having some fun over towards the other side
of the map at the A bomb site.
So, Sonic's going to have to drop his mullets off, find a way to be involved in the action
if it's to come.
I'm just watching the smoke, George gets me going out in time to stop Niko, but we're
also getting some success and trying to use that thin pillow to stay alive, but eventually
Kiosk is going to drop in and move forward and find these conferences next target is
George.
The George doesn't go down without a fight, he doesn't go down at all until finally
monacy.
But I want to be three total here for monacy.
We know each of these because back in banana, I'm short shooting onto Nitro.
It falls onto OC up against Monacy.
The two operas, but Monacy playing with the right ball,
OC's now switched out to what AK as well.
And the smoke goes down to several Monacy's vision.
OC will move into the site.
Monacy's tough, just spam has to go for the reload.
OC's just taking it.
He's going to hold it.
That's the one to do it.
Just hold the deep fuse all the way.
And OC wins up in the clutch to keep an RG going on this CT side.
Yeah, the reload from Monacy really sold.
And OC's like, all right, great.
Perfect. This is exactly the window of opportunity I needed.
to just play in behind this smoke monocene not trying to pressure it too much I maybe
didn't think I was actually going to stick it but man that's almost a 1B31 from monocene
so a great round from energy but in the clutch you could see that star power popping off
to bring it right back and make it doable but energy still fighting and still in this
And still with the chance of regulation.
Make the way top middle flashes flying through the smoke, and it's now O.C.
We've started to get going here.
It's time to really warm up.
There's up for the repeat.
Who'd be able to buy this to go for another one.
We retreat back into the bomb site instead and try to block out
some of you stuff.
These got teammates as well.
They're all awesome.
Yeah, nice choice in the open.
George gets another job, but he burns after the faction with 2-1-2 as the bomb site secured
for falcons.
A couple of nice moves from George and he lasts a couple of rounds.
He's going down in the flage, so push chest as the ball to see into a 2-V-2.
And Montesy this time, puts him in a position of power to 2-V-1, a sonic 55 HP to try and
win up his clutch.
He just walks straight to the smoke.
And Montesy's ready for that fight as well.
That points the jury here on info.
Yeah, great round for Montesy.
the nice kills right at the end, spam and one down through smoke, catch and saw,
not coming through it as well, just to cure and things for Falcon's hard fought.
Battle to get into that A-bombsite, lovely trade game.
Mostly at a chance to pop off with the off, but the attack is just way too suffocating
at unrelenting.
12 to 5, 7 chances for Falcon's to close out this opening map of an elimination series
of I.M. Crackhold.
Honestly with 20 kills, he also care with 17 kills.
I'm not bad at all, he's having a good game, especially in the CT side over to his banana.
I'm honestly running up through top banana, gets onto the car, but Sonic had already
front himself a better spot, and so I'm honestly used removed.
I'm honestly his, Sonic now, I'm going to step up.
He's here with Bro behind him inside the bomb site.
But don't feel like they need to be super aggressive with the advantage given over to them
to 5 on 4, test is gonna back away from Halls.
And it looks like just right out of the gate right off the rip
of losing that player, Falcons are happy
to just descend into a behead
and they might try to hit a funky timing.
Okay, so, Jack, oh my goodness,
getting shredded out because Sonic is having one hell
of a round tier, that's three kills picked up in Tessess,
but after one before, running at him.
He comes up like down mid as well,
three players charging down on that smoke
is going to hold back Tessess at the time being.
Yeah, he's just gonna have to hurry and hold his breath and make the play jumps on through with flashbangs
Second word catches him testes inside the bombsite taps it looking for the follow-up key
But it's all are coming on the flank. Yeah, he's not gonna be right with three players coming through the net in here
He would take a mistake a lot of misshoss men RG and sense that is to be perfect
Well, so far so good. It's clean headshots and actually separating themselves
And it won't be one fight to give a test test this round on a silver platter
Cheds us today, delivers with all chance, and that is a 14-5 closer, and that is a beautiful way to round out the first map.
Yeah, if that doesn't tell you how this map has gone, I mean, I would also will.
That's just everyone from Falcons at any moment, stepping up and demolishing NRG, a one versus three right at the end.
I mean, look, topically there were the better teams for teaching the better team, but individually, the prowess really shined.
The first shot on Perot who had a very rough game was O and 11 as we alluded to before he got his first kill so that's going to be obviously something that's pissing him off at the moment
In overall, I think just frustrated with the kind of counter strike they brought into the server tough game middle against a very very strong team so that ancient left
But you know I guess my sense of that energy didn't do enough to make you feel like that that's who is just going to cheat you much different
No, no feel sorry to any special when you think about how little I don't you have played ancient as well, especially with this squad
and all looking great, they play the S, and we didn't see it for a performance from them.
So, yeah, it tops the scenario ahead here for energy, if anything, it gets more difficult as we move on to the second map.
Just the way you lose that last round, that's just another frustrating round.
Yeah, high-level, especially in that first half, you think about what the poem is going to do.
Well, I'd be too, it's interesting, yeah.
Yeah, the 3B3 close by in the following round, they didn't get any kills, they just kind of got ran over.
Yeah, there was a lot of frustration, especially in the first half.
But, you know, the second half is you're kind of fighting to get back into the game, and just just funny.
No, no, no, no, no, no, I think for test tests,
it's got to feel good that was the way close out the map,
you know, oh, yeah, for easy clutch coming through
that from him.
You know, you just got so much skill available on Falcon,
even the test is what the conversation was.
Yeah, yeah.
He still got that and then locker.
And I think you also saw that there's still some of those,
like witnesses that haven't been perfected yet,
like right, the post find some of the fundamentals
from that full onto which they almost lost.
They didn't lose, but you can see it's there.
And you could, you know, this is one of those situations
where I think energy just is a team that is
the punish falcons for some of those mistakes that other top teams do punish them.
Right. And for moving forward, I think falcons, like you said, we're expecting more of the
same on the second map. Getting through them comfortably is going to be some confidence going
into the next game, 3D Max is where any of them, yes. And that little bracket run. And it does
feel like that is what is going to happen here. We'll see if ancient can deliver any surprises,
though that's where we are heading. Just after this break, you can take a look at the one
great series and see you not looking great for under two one-time play.
One-time play, we'll see how it goes up against Falcons their next-time play.
We'll be right back with map two of the series.
Hi, this is basement dwellers first, advertisement, and our second drop is it's up, actually,
You're seeing this, it's up to be able to block the ear so a shot.
You had a first go at a jacket and I'm really proud of it.
I'm always at an interesting clone, but you know, seeing behind the scenes how the
sausage is made is been a lot fun.
And if you'd like the clothes, tell me if you hate the clothes, tell me, but try them before
you've slagging off, I think they're really nothing.
So yeah, that's my advert.
I'm gonna try again.
I don't record another one.
The chance of all the dark.
Come on!
Don't break my gear and you know what you're doing here.
I'm just going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you.
Silence for BC game, as phase set around away from taking her opponent's map pick in
their series.
The series with a shot of adrenaline right up middle.
I'm just here.
Ready for this necessarily, and a bit of chaos comes up to BC game.
Oh, no, cover one, no, I like trying to need to trade in the upvine, they're crazy.
Pushes to the beast mode.
BC game.
Okay, I'll take round.
Frozen.
Might just save it.
Cash.
Can't make it the double, but you said this has been a captain's game.
Well, Carrigan's the one left in this clutch.
Let's see if it's brain can piece it together.
And even if it does does he have the aim to back it up 17 kills deep make that a team now
As he's locked in this final one v1 versus simple and he's just grabbed the spot there
But then say the Orbs one that's way in towards top mid is
Carregard about to cut their head off the beast of BC game
Swings wide or could pull them in eight that's an IGL moment
But still him with a chance to make up for this
He's given a shot of redemption.
Break on the smoke, simple, well-find him.
Clutch goes his way.
He's the game, it's still over the chance.
Free and gamily, don't he?
So, rewatch that round, just to remember,
remind themselves, why you just pull you gun out sometimes?
One B1 appears is gun out on that suicide swing.
He kills simple.
If he has his gun out, when he swings mid,
he kills simple.
But trying to do too much here, Karagon.
He's had a great game.
Had some high-frying moments,
that could have been the close of right then and there.
Simple survives one more against the captain of phase, around where B.C. game just tastes
screw it, pushing through the midsmoaf pushing through the piecemoke.
You know, we're talking about the vibes of BC game, but for phases,
it's still a little tense in the sense that they know they need to win this game
and they can't afford to let BC game eliminate them from the tournament.
That would just be a humiliating loss for phase when you consider coming up the back of a major
final into a new year, yes, okay, and online loss to the eye ballers was a bit of a shock.
But here on land in a lower bracket, there's no excuses for phase.
It shouldn't have to justify a loss in a match like this.
And so just trying to stay hyper-fixated on finishing their opponent's map with full-more chances.
Jacob Degalatlo, a Brokey Orb,
Carrigan Holtz for a long push, simple Orbsat position.
Now letting Brokey work.
Well, electronic give him away in.
Just hoping that Brokey has given a chance to put this up to work.
Doesn't say much of the rounds, sent it around him getting involved as a smoke in the way now.
So he takes this as a moment to cool off.
The rest of phase group up over here in mid and the tunnels.
Maybe a B-split brewing as they can see the map control everywhere else.
There's no how strong his spot was. He might just need to stay there going mid with an MP9
It feels like a very strange rotation right now. The smokes coming over the top of electronic sees it
They know a player could be out mid, but the be hit coming in 20 seconds crazy. It's got to get something done
Flash to set him up
Good chunk of damage
Electronic out of cover mid split still on the cards here. It's counting and closing the distance out through the window
So not even required, not able to cut down anyone as they come through CTE either.
So 3 on 3, and again, resting on this round.
Back to the boost, maybe results here, if they did it.
Rocky was holding for the Vex Act boost, he knows what they do in this post plant, space
up close, frozen waiting, they just come charging together.
You tear his holes and it's on a simple 1v2
Twist and broke he count down and they'll swing him together
Phase client and do this one as a team
Caragon leading the charge and leading by example
The rest of phase hanging on his every word a BC game back to the jarring board
They've got to hope that nukes somehow looks better than this does too
Where else that time in the tour on that time in crack of is over
Oh, you missed the test. Did you have a nice break?
You feeling rested, relaxed? Oh, it's face to face.
Not much of a break.
I was just about to say, what break?
We already had a German, but yeah, bring some of senior.
You were on my television, that doesn't count.
OK, fair enough.
It breaks with you.
Pretty chill.
But then obviously straight back into things.
It doesn't, it's plus fly by, like straight into the back back into regular schedule
programming.
I always forget you play black bars.
Have you always been black bars?
Not always, but in the recent like four years,
I've definitely only played black bars.
I tried to change to stretch, but I just cannot follow the game
You feel like it's two years, two, like, close.
Yeah, I feel the same.
I see it.
Same wavelength, same wavelength.
But yeah, I mean, how far has your conversation
going about goal setting?
Is that something you do when you start a new season new year?
Is that something you and the boys have talked about?
Yeah, of course.
I think every time we come back from a season,
then we have a talk about what we want to achieve.
And of course, we've already set up a big goal for a maximum
in the previous season. So we still have that bigger goal but of course as smaller
goals they would be able to achieve a longer road and right now it's just getting
that one trophy and kind of wanted to snowball it so we'll see how that goes.
I mean if the first tournament is anything to go about you guys are already looking
pretty warm pretty pretty threatening. How is bounty in review? What's your take
away from that first tournament? It's hard to see because we're standing and it was
Like exciting and like most somethings are working.
Yeah, somethings we're working in individuals
popping off and this.
So this is a very good sign of course,
but it could have been back very good, Evan, back now.
Now we can finally play like a real team,
but we've been very limited in terms of practice.
So that's a little bit annoying going into
kind of an official practice.
Yeah, yeah, a little bit, but it will see how it goes.
I think we want to do whatever we can.
Yeah.
Have a high expectations.
We missed you, we missed your whole tournament without you.
What on earth were we supposed to do?
Did you watch the games?
Were you watching Bounty, huh?
Yes.
Is it tough to be watching your team playing without you?
Is that a tough?
It was unusual.
That's a good word for it.
It is unusual.
But it doesn't make you a little even more excited to be back.
Yeah, back.
Yeah, this.
Getting more excited.
Have you been, like, staying warm?
Like, you've been playing a lot of CS?
Yeah, I was playing a lot of CS.
It's just facet and a variety of damage.
Yeah.
You feel like there's a can you play too much C.S. is in your mind?
Because I mean, most of the young guys, they're just the answer is no.
Do you think it's possible you can play too much?
And it like makes your affects you of play?
I think you can.
It's possible.
Yeah, it's possible.
Okay, you heard it here.
You know, maybe six faces is enough, you know, we don't need to do 10.
Six faces is depends.
How many prices do you play or how?
I'm a narrow steering head.
How long is a practice?
Like, what is four hours for like, a pract block in a protein?
They have two arms during and four parts and then how many face it's that's where this is already like six hours of cattle strike
not in them
If you want to feel good you just you just play four or five face
Four or five right there. Is this crazy? I'm not doing this anymore
I'm playing even more than him. Don't think about that even playing more of the music
It's kind of a pressure sure
six and then six faces no four five four five four five six already more than
six is a is a line
well four five faces of the sweet spot and but four five rounds certainly not that
don't you feel on that after an inferno loss nobody move onto ancient or
real opportunity for falcons to give more of the same if not more of a
punishment coming to the second map of the series.
Yeah, considering the experience of energy in this map, one map
played on ancient and it didn't go well.
So, you know, yeah, coming into this one, you're going to look
at that and you're just like, well, it didn't think it could
get worse, but it actually kind of could get worse.
Their one game on it was just the other day against Mowl's,
13-9 loss, but it was one round alone on the T-Side.
So yeah, school board wise, it looks close.
But not able to get anything going on your offense.
Now, I guess the one kind of a previewed habit of your energy
is this being a Falcons map.
You can serve the CT side so you can at least find guilt something up and see if you can reinvigorate yourself in the second half
Yeah, I think though the CT side of the furnace you're a couple of moments
You're a normal looking good George had a couple of things
Only a couple of moments, but the game was kind of already lost at that point so they were just like doing like the dying moments
So maybe now starting on the CT side get out to a good start
Let's do what you can build into it. It was just kind of dignity protectors. Yeah, but here we go
It's in the pistol damn it did we predict
Protected.
Oh, we definitely did.
Sonic, I want to see.
And OC all getting kills to kick off this pistol.
It was all saying 4v3, the first couple of seconds in favor of that RG, and that ball
maze down at LBO.
So that has created a bit of an obstacle for Falcons to take your out.
Oh, there we go.
Good swing for July 2.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, they were thinking they're going to fight OC.
They think it is just you're going to jiggle that corner.
So that was a great swing from throw to grab the kill.
However, the one aspect where this is test is, this is a lot of time from to play
with in kicks and is going to give them all the time in the world because it's the only way
they win the round is if test is delivers for you.
Where's coming from?
Red Room and around the flank here.
The cast couple applies down in front of him and OCE will remove test S.
No issue, leave it kick set.
If we're coming to ball games, he'll hide and actually he's getting a dive.
So you tell me Brody's going to kill.
But until the last row of the first half on a burrow and he's kicks off the first
He's just like he's so pissed off from map one that he is locked the hell in here and ain't you so it was 9 kicks in at first round that all part of the plan
Let's keep on bro. Yeah, that beautiful one tap as well as he's going into a fight too. So yeah, I'm gonna keep on him
All right, well flashback here for kicks in a deal for Nico
Let's see how much damage Faulton's gonna pull it to here, but it should be a comfortable
2 and 0 start from that arching.
Should be.
There's the deep smokes.
Holding everyone at bay for the moment, all the Falcon's sitting behind the choke points that are
blocked off.
The only player aggressive is Tess's who's gone down trying to scout out towards that
A-Bombsite easy kill for Sonic.
We're going to reconvene back to the B-Bombsite and eventually head into our slaughter.
I'll see you in George, one quick kill between them.
George will find the follow up on the USP to round things out.
So it's nice to retake.
Grab that rifle as well, make sure it doesn't take you to waste.
I'll see you in the first gun round.
I'm interested to see what we're going to be working with.
CT side ancient for energy, just because we haven't seen it too much, let's just review
The position's not just going to be playing towards that cave, O.C. with the op is going to be all over the place.
Sonic towards middle, Bro is going to be that A anchor who is also shifting and playing towards middle,
George at the B-bombs at his well, so that's where you're going to expect to see the energy players throughout this app as they defend.
So I'm going to start over and don't let this round. He smoked off.
the
all-in-the-all-the-fight goes in
the
refalking this time
is to take charging up and
look at that the
alpha fight money call
the way to start but then
nitro comes in and
swipes away all three
falcons players at the
start of the round
that is what you want
from your in-game leader
yeah that's quite a
sequence we we've mentioned
maybe there's going to be
a few more of an out
they get a start on the
CT side already got a
lovely triple kill from
nitro's back off towards
cave the key on the B
Happy with the two-man advantage they've given themselves just to control this part of the map and say,
play at the bomb, we'll win the retake when everyone else comes in.
Then hit on the clock, nice troll for the ace. Let's hear if he's able to get it.
This kicks in one of the challenge before he plants his the question.
Nightroach, on the pull-in, and he will get the need to fight.
It's going to win it, throw that swipe it away, the remaining two is kicks in,
need to go both on and a three zero lead here for energy. You want to see the first
gun around this is what they got. Yeah, I thought that was a little crazy from Sonic
with the late push, but it was to set this up from Nitro. They never would have expected
it would have been this clean. There were also two more energy players playing the fade
in the smoke and red room. So even if Nitro only gets one maybe two,
he have a couple more players to deal with whatever remnants are there in middle. So a nice set
up a nice opening gambit from energy that nets him around in a big advantage.
She's gonna say again, I called from Nitro and there was no smoke, no smoke at all, so, you know,
it just needs to get going early for an RG and so far so good, so it's been bulked down to half by
temperature where you're gonna see some upgraded pistols coming into the tech not.
NRG is like the anti-lounce into Malathe moment, when those guys are just streaming all the time,
even like when they're losing like 10-0 and they went around, they're gonna go nuts,
not on RG.
Just silence.
And they gotta earn something to shout about, right?
Yeah, well, you know, they didn't get put in the place a little bit on inferno. So, you know, fair play you kind of respect the way that you
Adominated and now you're just locked in coming into map two. So it's a very cool response in terms of the attitude in the terms of the demeanor
I like you just got to appear inside the server as well
Well flashes are about to write on the top of the doorway George just keep me as head tucking and waiting to push out from Falcons and he's gonna come and
George nice and easy for three tank
All right, so it's all kids being shut down of the doors, they don't get past it.
So a great start here from that RG on ancient, four rounds at a row on the CT side.
Yeah, four pretty comprehensive rounds as well, pretty convincing, pistol round was all there's the entire way, same with that first gun run after Nitro's triple kill, so they haven't really been put to the test quite yet.
Falcons offense yet to come online here on ancient.
Their map selection in a elimination series, it's map two, map one was utter destruction if you're just tuning in.
Another great part about NRG winning these rounds so comprehensively, the money is starting to build as well.
Got a nice blanked cash down there, I can't just fall back on.
And we don't even have anything to see like no seesop yet.
He hasn't been able to, there's been no reason to kind of drop TM4 and upgrade to it.
And someone needs to go down in one of these rounds for him to be able to bring that out.
And he's still pretty weak here, from the fall, he's got to go a little up and play, you got
Lack of you to do it, but once you can't do it, it's okay.
What's fantastic, it gets even better.
As soon as I can't actually move out of that slow, my turn.
But once again, it was a nitro, this time it could be George coming out from heaven,
but Nika was waiting for that response.
Okay, well Nitro now knows he can stuff these things together.
Gonna beat them all on top. Does take a tick?
No one was in Jaguar to shoot that, but Nitro doesn't realize that. He doesn't know.
teammate Ocy and middle sliding up the play inside the cup.
So we can have a fast flank to the B bomb set of Falcons,
come in here, but if they try and fall back to the other side of the map,
he's gonna be lying and wait.
It does put a lot of pressure on Nitro, and he's playing
committed into the bomb set, right?
So he can't do anything to stall for time. He can't grab a kill and survive. He's in a very committed position.
So if Falcons two defend here, Oce is not really going to have any time created for him to get close enough on the flank to have impact.
Climb it on up and we'll bang and down Nico. So retreating back here for Oce.
Nitro's got to be feeling real uncomfortable in this position, but he doesn't feel like there's any better place to move into.
into.
Now, he's just waiting and biting your time here in Nitro, again, one set up, you'd see
me for a one view on the light of the Nitro, stands tall, gets straighted out, doesn't
damage his water modesty, which makes this one be one even easier for OC.
Let's see if he's able to make the most of it, he's got the Utilfe the job out of kick,
on the Cs gonna commit to the patch through the way with that cover of the scope temporarily
up, and that grenade goes in, it drops modesty to 11 HP.
I want to see only need that one headshot, that AK-47 to connect to the top of the body of O-C.
I like how the flow is he's playing this.
Very slow.
Yeah, let Monacy sweat a little bit. Let him cut a second guess, make him make a move.
Plenty of time still in the bomb.
Look at the angles, Monacy's out, but it clear all at the same time.
He's in a really tough spot here. I haven't to worry about everything.
And he realizes he has to make a move himself.
And he's mid at the perfect time. He's actually wrapped around the back of O-C.
Monacy's plight is very well.
And so that poem is playing a form that O-C pieces together, he does.
It does if utility goes in, honestly goes into the peak, and down to the deep use, OC will
go to hold the stick all the way, and it's five in a row, as OC suggests there won't
be one against monastic.
Yeah, using the whole buffalo, the entire clock at that farm, that's a lovely one-be-one
for mostly being very patient about things.
The neighbor is a lovely bit of unconfirmed damage, but put monastic in a really, really
tough spot trying to piece that together.
Five nothing.
Energy's given us exactly what they want, which is a really nice hard reset in between
maps after the devastation of inferno and now showing us a really good level.
Defense holding strong, but really it's been one part of the defense that is ruined Falcons
in two separate gun rounds now.
It's that play after they're as they're taking middle as they're getting those first
kills in mid.
It's that wrap out from cave.
I can't imagine that that play in particular is going to have too much impact because
someone from Falcons from now on is going to say, I'm keeping my eyes on this the entire
time.
I'm not taking it away.
They never want to let Nitro and George have impact from that play ever again.
Full losing bonus and a bomb plant vote nets a very strong buy for the Falcon side.
And still no off-out for OC, happy to take the AK-47.
Yeah, rocket and rifle, and so far it's been a winning recipe for an R2-C-T side.
ECO, Mark's way to the cave, is to be blocked out and has to respect it.
Yeah, but this is early pressure that they've applied in an early smoke that they've thrown
out.
So that, you know, now that they're stalled out, but this is a wind for Falcons later on,
this BD fence, not gonna have as much utility to stop until they block choke points.
So any death they take right now is gonna be really, really painful because they're
of the resources to make up for it later.
Looks like Falcons for the first time I want to get first
key towards the A-bombsite, at least a two-man attack between
Tessus and Kia Suke.
You got three players, a window right now for an RG,
make it two players, a window for an RG, but a good response here from OC.
As he sends one back between the eyes of Montecilucca kicks at
And you've had it, and getting traded in great workmen or jeep and numbers back and forth, but then Nico comes in
Is that third layer for falcons as they move into the A bomb site, but the issue is Nico's the ballmode is back and it has just been spotted
Yeah, look, I mean, this is what I was talking about look at how he how patiently he's waiting for this reaction from cave
He knows it's been so likely you've taken out the mid defense. You haven't found the B defenders, so he's still waiting
Realizing that if he gets caught in transition the round might just be over
I think I can start making my move as soon as he takes his eyes away.
Roodle, but lovely shooting from OC, and now six nothing for NRG.
Yes, put it in a real awkward spot now. Hasn't it for a falcon?
Just as T-Side isn't getting going at all, and NRG are just melting in him away.
Put your play again, out through the middle here.
Techno is just racing up towards window.
Kicks in the man carrying his into the smoke.
And he's just going to walk right through the smoke to his death,
and so on, it gets completely ready for a play of that nature.
And now they're sold out. They wanted that position. They wanted to be able to apply pressure.
Have to be defenders think of something else.
Nitro's got to be really careful.
Kyusuke is waiting for his moment to step in and actually challenge as soon as that smoke fades.
Now the B-play begins.
All thing goes to defend needs to be a kill and it is, but traded immediately.
Nitro's arrived and can't get a clean fight.
Oh, monacy.
Getting ripped apart as well by Sonic.
Ball plant.
He attempted to give a test set just to tap it into the kill.
He's not the one here to really believe in the round for Falcons and they do get that kill, but
Tessis, he's lost his teammate, he's lost a lot of the self.
And he's going to get called as soon as he tries to commit to the bomb,
Black seven rounds in a row continue here for NRG.
Not terrible for Falcons, like three kills, not able to get the bomb flat at the end of the day,
but doing an economic damage, and, fortunately, again, with the scoreboard the way it is,
none of that really matters.
Enough money has been built up, they can sustain those losses.
There's losses excuse me and we'd re-buy without any any big dent into the money that they've got energy with and solid
Yeah, I'm talking. He's just trying to find a way to disrupt this
It's it's good. This is the frustrating part for them is they have all the success in middle with the kills right?
They're taking out stoneth and taking out bro on the ground. It's that wrap around from cave
That's ruining them three times now
Wow, they're going to have to deal with those. He's off in the first time here
And he's gonna make it work as he shoots down the bottom of the field. I'm gonna walk again. It happens
See, they get into middle, but then nightchirks are the top of heaven and falcons are left. Just crumbling again.
They cannot get a grip on cave and Jaguar whatsoever.
There's always a player ready to come through it from NRG.
Now the often on OST did drop, they're gonna want to recover that nightchirks make in the sprint. We'll see if it gets it into the next rounds
I did hear drop noise as well. Could have been many things though. Could have been an I'm four to nine K47 to the bay
Let's hope it was the Op to their save base.
It's a sendy array for a Molotov.
Could it be?
It's definitely a second time out for all of this.
It is definitely a time out in a second time out for Falcons.
Yeah, and they need it.
They need it to talk things over.
And this is where you start having the criticisms of Falcons really kind of love you in which
is just, when you have this much star power, how are we not able to get anything going on
this T-stop?
They've had a really quite a cold stretch, but again, it's a weird one in the sense
that they have like, they're having success.
getting the trade, getting the kills in middle, it's just that one pesky play out of cave
that each and every time is coming at an unexpected moment.
I mean, you kill OC at the jump up with an A to the UP and you almost kind of probably
feel like that's kind of, that's going to be some of the pressure from that location
take it away and then just two seconds later.
I'm not sure what it was out there.
He's got four kills.
He's got four of his five kills are from that position.
The triple spread out and then there's one we just saw on the last round.
I'm interested to see what falcons are going to do with a daft of that.
I'm full by foot during this summer when we see that, the gun rounds.
But it looks like we're direct hit in this round with weaker weapons,
have it to go to natting the leo and pistols.
Okay, they haven't hit the timing either whatsoever as the utility fades.
And that's spot time for Sonic who had to run back to spawn to get some extra nades.
And it looks like actually George might want to address at the top of ramp and just peek down and see what he's going to get.
Defense of smoke, nitrous, got attention, he can't get away.
He's got a stand-in fight, only one.
Yeah, I guess the one at least Sonic also finding some success here slowing Falcons down and once you get snored out around like this
It takes a lie if one is a good tool to step up and try and get that going to cat and that's cool. So, okay, who's leading that fight?
He's got a second kill lock in here on the bomb site
Don't start thinking about the plants soon enough, but that smoke is just fad is gonna get loose mode here, but they keep
O she is shy and he's gonna take it on monocy's he crosses into the open
Flash to save it doesn't matter. O.C. can still find you as test SS is now left alone in the clutch
Falcons need one of these rounds to go their way. It's gotta be a test S clutch here. Yeah
I think he's gonna want to use the clock as well. I'm not even gonna worry about trying to plant just hide here for a moment
See if he catches someone looking for information on an awkward timing
He wants them to feel like he's left this bomb site to go over to the other side of the map
So how long does energy? Okay now they know now they spot the information plants gonna be committed to now
It's off, can't really tow two four has to just take that shot of fight and Sonic gives him the one be one he's been looking for and now he knows Rocy is
But can't he deal with a throw to the all-perts or risk to step into the open, but Tessa's is taking it to change that position up with the timing
We look oh, he gets back to the angle. Oh, she trying to chew with him. He's only on the side arm up
He's dropping Tessa's low and he finishes him off. Oh, she just can't lose a fight today
Hey, it says it's so frustrating about that.
So sad, the death by a thousand cuts,
just the jiggle PKUSP.
Dude, this is wild.
This is what we wanted to see from OC.
You know, the start of this year.
The mention of farm land already,
but we were out there at farm land in Las Vegas.
And we were seeing OC Park off, and we're wondering,
is this just against North American composition?
Our competition.
If he goes out to Europe,
is OC going to be able to keep it up.
And that was the question we had for this 20, 26 season.
Throughout stage one, he absolutely did.
Drop off and we expected that against males, but the fact that he's showing up here against
Falcons in this way gets me very excited for an RG this year.
Yeah, that's very cool. That's a lot of credibility to such this success in the performances.
He's been having within the region of North America.
Exactly right. Looking good. That's two one-be-one colleges. He's one of this half four energy
to keep them spotless on the CT side.
It can control completely for NRG. Now they've got players on the jump up from middle.
He lane is not available to falcons any longer.
It's short from me, Kel. They're low in HP and he's held back, so at least you get the control
that area, the map if you're on our G, you do conceding player, but you can't be late.
Law, need to go in behind the double doors for now.
Smoke and A-main kind of negates, excuse me, that smoke that is thrown by Falcons towards
Red Room.
Honestly, it was perched there with the opposite, like then I want to activate out, but
the elbow smoke takes that option away.
So over to the A-bombs that we start to work ourselves as Falcons, Nico is still playing
deep outside B, just going to throw utility, but he's missed his smoke, so that fake will
do absolutely nothing. The defense at this bomb site playing from donut. They have information
in mid so they know nobody's coming.
While a talk was default, it's gonna be O.C. starting the donut smoke goes into the peak.
And it's honestly in Texas who take a couple of kills with him, leaving bro and not just
and some of the doughnuts.
So he has to take a kiss if they know where he is.
So they're just gonna continue to bombard
if a utility, Balkans will fight their way
into their first round victory.
Yeah, thank everything out of the hands as well.
And Monty's gonna start being a problem now,
though the later stages of the half,
it's not gonna be a problem.
Clemsher, we can find that from the back,
he got the opening kill and the final kill.
First round for Falcons, nine to one in the favor of NRG,
but they've stopped the street.
They've got at least something going for him.
And we were wondering what the switchup was gonna be
with the change from Falcons.
The past three rounds or so have just been much more focused hits, not playing that spread out default, not playing like it's a standard style and taking control.
It's been more attacking the extremities, direct attacks into the bombsite with numbers.
To prevent themselves from getting punished by those kind of quick flight plays.
Here you go.
the
one
early five is looking for a
here will get very point
right till the clock cracking up in that people
said it is going to move the ball filtering in as well can
need to find a follow up looks in the right direction
but loses the jewel against nitro and that has a bit of a spanner
the works here for falcons plan
cool to see me go try and flex though good shot from O.C. peaking back into it
honestly can't get away okay well this is all set up test is used wrapping around the
ball is going to work it's way to the other side of the map and test is
Where is this?
Festus could ruin everything, however,
NRG 3 players pushing B-Rap means they might bypass his position altogether.
But NRG still haven't pieced together,
the bomb is not here and it's making its way to the A-Styre.
I don't know why NRG players out on the wood work,
but it's a realized there's no one to respond to that tap on the plant.
So he's going to go back into its spawn, now I want to inferno this would be the kind
around NRG will be losing.
But let's see if they're able to win it.
Tassets is in a strong spot, but you can see a patient NRG are in this moment.
So obviously still hasn't moved.
That repation indeed helped me.
It's going to catch a better time.
He does get the information on Tassets.
Realizing the chance to stick around and commit himself to that fight as his teammate moves in.
Tassets now alone in no exactly where he is.
So we'll see keep some occupied and in fact, OC will get rid of it.
So that is 10 to 1.
And incredible showing in this first half of energy.
Yeah, incredible playing in the promoting as well.
Just being so patient, just realizing
that he's got to wait for his teammates to be in position
to try and make his move to get involved in that retake.
Not falling prey to test his position.
And it's the fact that NRG get right back to another round
when after conceding their first move.
Yeah, they don't let Falcons actually build up
the final three rounds of the half that.
Yeah, you're right.
That's really impressive.
Really impressive mid-air jam.
Glad that they've been able to show this.
The weaknesses, as you mentioned,
have been on the T-Side, we see that in front of them.
And you see that on the ancient yesterday as well.
So we know they're going to have struggle on the T-Side
or at least that's what we seek side-tall of them.
They've given themselves enough CT miles.
They don't need it right.
T-Side at all.
This is the even if you struggle on your T-Side,
you should be able to win it in a lap into one half.
Let's just say if it gets there,
we'll find out exactly what it's going to be.
Let's look at the bottom and be ramp.
honestly trying to peer over the top of the office broken a little bit but he missed the cross
That was OCD slide over off no longer in the hands of OCD but the AK has been doing just fine for a rough
It's half and that's an opening kill provided in middle
Five on four in the favor of Falcon some kicks and he's waiting for it. Yeah, all the reactions always be you lose that mid player
And look at you. Okay, well, you know you're trying to do nitro
I chose equally like either they've got to be waiting for no way
He's like I didn't really get the chance to do that
Oh, he's coming back amongst the nitro at OC.
Oh, the nitro do that molly, that separates them and we'll stronger this time from Falcons.
Not that little noise to your OC taking a tick and Molotown damage might set nitro up quite
nice.
Look at what damage has been done to Falcons though, yes, there's a 5B3 but those players
can melt away extremely quickly and with a kill on from Sonic on the high HP player.
It's now very low, remainers, remanters rather for Falcons.
But you know, it's unconfirmed and that's the touch bar George and not if you ever look at the kill kicks
I'm gonna step in. Oh, see that's one's a freebie, but now the low HP comes into effect
Nico on 31
Montecy on 49 those the two different players inside the B-bombsite. Oh, oh, up there the gay sea issue
Maybe so I couldn't be three
It's gonna give it a go go last round of the half sort of fantastic for an RG
But a second round look at the be secure here by the falcons. Yeah
And you gotta say, it's been so cool seeing energy,
I've seen smiles crack in,
like towards the later stages of this half.
Now that they've got enough to like nine, 10 rounds,
but coming into this,
you could tell so locked in after map one,
and they got the reward.
Jamin focused on point,
and they've got a 10, two-leaded half.
We had concerns that ancient miles should get worse for energy, it got way better, J.C.
It's a beautiful story where they're painting right now coming into this second map of play.
It is looking so good for energy.
Actually, it looks like it's going to be difficult to lose this one.
I can't believe these are the frustrations after that.
How many did you play?
Yeah, it's a complete 180.
We were having this exact conversation.
It was what 11 to 11 in front of after the first half in the favor of Falcons.
It's just narrowly avoided a 12.
Oh, half and all of a sudden, they're sitting in the driver's seat with an incredible lead.
But let's not forget.
their last game on ancient that was played yesterday they only got one round of the
T-side so I mean look you're not saying it out loud you're not trying to bring
it to people's minds if you're in energy squad but the fist around's very
very important. There just for your own mentality.
Well here comes the utility flying through the sky.
This mocks gonna line into his doughnut and the CT Cross if he's obsessed.
Just south of that big box and KPOC that goes down quite quickly just to get a
hot another beautiful couple of kills coming through leaving Nitro on his own.
So, okay, this, this is the first step, isn't it?
Yeah, this is why I mentioned the Pistromes so important.
She sings crazy when you're up to send it to you
that the Pistromes be important for you,
but not only do you lose it, you get deleted and destroyed it.
And like, it's just, in the back of your mind,
it's gonna be that sense of, okay, here's that T-side engine.
Again, you know, like you're not quite panicked,
you're not quite thick in anything too crazy,
but you are just kind of, you know, it's there.
The trauma, you know, your body reacts versus it.
The memory, the late memory.
logic your way out of it it comes nitro bomb just loose and you'll give it a good go, but
Absolutely not expecting anything here. I suppose you will honestly around the back side
The insurance policy
Strolling on it. Yeah, do you want some nice a knife? Oh, he missed it. Oh, my gosh
It's a nice home honestly. What'd be pretty cool to have a knife in both pester rounds? Yeah
It'd be nice of a plan to fame wouldn't it just if you know a massive bit of that
Well, y'know, not your turns.
So it's the worst thing that you're like commit to the knife and then I don't I don't ever commit to knives
Oh, yeah, how one of those players you get yourself in this situation?
Jason? No, because I I never go for it. I commit to the kill. I get the kill. I win the round. Oh
All right, let's do the glocks one flash the goal here is to get a bomb plan
That's kind of the only thing you can maybe just down you can transfer utility Jason take your time having us relaxing time here on the
server. Yeah, you could try and milk a few extra nays out of things. Looks like they'll
be happy to do that sitting back. Yeah, it's, I don't know, we kind of had the, we can go back
to that convoy about energy and just our expectations for them for the year because we
mentioned this is a team on inferno when they're getting kind of battered, you know,
you're kind of measure things against what what you expect that are then this is a team that
needs a lot of European experience. So I mean, it's great to have this kind of a positive experience
going on with a moment. But still, I don't know, do this in block a year that we're just going to
and we can continually see at these events
that we can track their progress
or lack of progress, whatever it remained.
And a big progress.
Yeah, hopefully progress.
I think we're all signing up for that.
Oh, we got a chance to talk in the nature of the start of the year.
He was talking about their plans
and their expectations for the future.
And obviously, having to bring us
to see back into the team of leases
of familiar plan for the organization and his teammates.
But, you know, they did get rid of exotic
or he'd come rid of himself as a son of a year
You bring in a new offer, I think you're gonna be very happy, OCC, so it was really pretty upgraded at the same though.
I mean, we talked to the week and last year, as long as we won, I'm not how important they offer it.
But certainly having OCC and the team and having a playing like this is a big ruin to the energy squad.
First gun round of this second half.
Six round leap for NRG.
I'm gonna start out with the default traversing up the B lane over towards middle and nobody's home for Falcons to challenge.
of challenge, so move control firmly in the favor of energy's offense.
It's in no presence, really. The only information that energy's gotten on this
round so far is the spam from Tess's on to bro, knowing one was going to be in Jaguar.
even kind of go deep in middle and hunt down to see if anyone's going to be peaking or giving a fight and going up and coming from falcon so energy now looks like you know with that control and with some of the pressure and the presence
they've shown to the falcon's defense they just want to fall back into send you an execute at the b bomb site defense is starting to shift back a little bit so they'll be playing behind the smoke
moving on up it is test s
gets as one big nitro to fall away and George to respond is energy have some space into the site
Five
There's that there's that nice. Yeah, nice. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, it's coming out isn't it there we go
Got it all we've got the whole checklist. We have it ready to really do know what they're talking about, huh?
No 13 zeros though. Not yet. It was looking like energy could have done it there for a while. I know both seem to have their crack at it
All right, Jason
What happens if I'll do this?
That's the question. I have what if Falcons come back and win this?
Well energy just a little bit in front of me and I know
No, it's just we such a pathway for a behalf of wouldn't it I mean I don't think there's any I don't think there's any
I mean it'll be disappointing it'll kind of suck as we have to focus on the fact that energy kind of had such a good first half
And then a collapse into the second half, but I don't think it would change any like big picture opinions on the energy
What were the falcon swap for that matter right on the T side?
Change my opinion is on the T side. Okay. Yeah, be very worried about that
To the future
They would be good to know for energy that okay, CT side's great. Hello, bro
This cracked open the side the ball is flooding in no one's with OCD though
They'd love to be able to trade this kill, but now you've just kind of handed kicks in over a good piece of control around you
And you have the weapons to fight at this range you really needed to join up with OCD and kind of take that fight and control that part of the bomb site
Now these rifles get a swing wide and you can do nothing to stem the tide
10 to 6 and Falcons very quickly just full rounds back that lead
need evaporating very, very fast. Yeah, that deed was being stuck as well. Four rounds away
for tied up and then the laps, the smalls, or returning to the faces here are full. Yeah,
it's not feeling as bleak anymore, is it? Not even at all. Now you got started on the right
foot in this second half. But that's how much we'll all be. The gap could just close so quickly.
Yeah, the swing happens very, very fast. Lovely shot from Bro to get you in and get a bomb
plan and give the potential for danger, but not able to build a whole lot of it with just pistols.
Up in the hands of O.C., for the first time in this second half, AK's in full utility
just around that on the other members' energy.
Standard utility on middle, Nades and Molotops exchange by both sides.
Well, spam down into the elbow, smokes worked out perfectly here for Niko.
Not only has he got the one kill, but look at him on a damage he's done to George.
Look at the reaction though, and our tree tried to send Burl up into the bomb site, but he gets
It's just seems like a lot of individual fights that they can see here for falcons and they are
They're putting up a big old defensive wall right now. Yeah, this is a really bad round
I mean, obviously with the way it's played out, but just I think like having this is around like the first gun round
After you got beat you have to save now you come back and do a gun round
Yeah, the boost up in middle is a little bit rough doesn't go your direction blinded Nico Spams down one great damage to the other
And the protocol when you see that presence coming down middle from the CT side is to challenge into the B bomb site
But man you step right into monies all piggits a double
Falcons was just perfectly in place to deny everything you try to do in the rounds and
Zeph looking a little bit flat
And now you're starting to get into that same situation in front of where you're you're start to the T side is so slow and so rough that the money is built up
Falcons on up to worry about economy
Nice maximum, nice maximum, it wasn't nice, it wasn't nice, yeah, you don't say you're in that I haven't seen an Ivan hurt a nice Nico yet
No, I haven't seen it hurt that at all really, but unreasonable nice Nico
First time out called doing it with not 20 of time but still a buffer of three rounds
to toy with if you're energy. The problem is that round does nowhere.
And this isn't really around is it. You don't have a buy.
No, but look, you gotta have tactics for rounds like this, right?
Like how many times do we see it team just pop off and just steal around it and
know where I'll feel like it's going to be a fast attack now and you're just kind of like
a nice shot from a deal that opens things up.
So you have to have a round that you can maybe put it in.
This might be one you want to test the A-bomb,
so I'm looking to see an energy really attack that a whole lot
especially after the pistol rounds.
Maybe that's a little bit too telegraphed
in a lower economy round like this,
but yeah, there's some things you can do with these tech nines.
Hello smoke from the Falcon's defense.
It's the utility from the T-side as well,
this setup middle.
They want to pounce a little bit late
for late, three players coming through now
and Nico's blinded and forced off the angle.
Nico is a-
Oh, I give a nice knee Joe right now. Don't be too clean headshots smoked out the donut as well. It doesn't ever extend his life. Oh my god
Here's that old spulnico
Close line one zap. Oh 10 AJs 10 eight
I'm less we got a no see
Techno and deal with the OCA
Walking into the be-bombsite.
I see what you're doing. I see what you're cooking.
So the Digos gonna lead the way.
Bro's gonna get dropped by Tess's.
But O.C. is gonna swing for the trade instant headshot.
They've got needs too.
Don't forget about utility.
They've got available.
Yeah, they're shuffling back tonight,
Joey.
Let me send you guys for you.
You'll have some fun.
I'll come pick up the pieces after the fact.
So the Utah goes in.
Now they know what's up here, Falkit.
Got a deal with the O.C.A.K. though.
The O.C.A.K. is taking the kill.
Inside the site, but it's gone.
His test is, holds down mouse.
One is just the single kill.
That's not your response, fire with their feet.
Is that plant can't come in just yet?
They cancel it, they replace it elsewhere.
And now bro, a Nitro have a 231 of which,
on the Vulcan side is extremely low,
that's Nika on 19HP from the fire engaged,
but then monocene just does a little bit of BS
in sense, couple shots through the glow.
But it puts Nitro in a 1v3 as he stands at the top of the ramp.
It would take a stellar clutch from Nitro,
and he's got the staff to the right direction
to put a pressure on him and he gets that second shot off as well.
Nice try for nitro, but a nice round from Nico.
Look at the smile and laughs coming around the Falcon side.
That's a close round. It's a pretty tense situation.
They're still just good when having a good time with it.
So Falcon is obviously not feeling any pressure.
Not feeling concerned whatsoever.
And why would they blank in the second half so far?
Everything is looking good.
And energy's offense still cannot find a gap to exploit.
So nasty for Nico.
open space fighting the fights at mid range always been his specialty and puts it on display there
oh middle there run it's Sonic heading out into the fight to use the key
as mode down Sonic without a shoe on the right fall so an opening kill here
found a four the side of the falkings again
But like Bros is positive, okay, to the spot.
The risk to go through a jag, and all the way up into the cave now,
kicks out, it's going to come and bring back.
Bros already, right up at his face,
for kicks and still, what's that fight?
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
That could have been a great play to throw some chaos into what Falcons was doing on the map.
That might have made this very awkward for them.
So now, and are you going to fall into this walk into the A-Bom site?
Montesley holding the line deep from CT spawn.
And it looks like they want to go contact as they don't want to give away
this final plate too early. So unless OCD can do something special,
obviously might be able to just pick one out of the traversing of the bomb site.
Around the corner of Niko, hold on. It's gonna be nitro to fall away.
Control it though from George, but the problem is, he's still got two extra players on the
Falcon side. My plan for this coming in taking one player out of commission for a while,
and it's actually completely out of commission. Now as he's forced off the site,
But that OC just got two kills out of it. They're gonna backtrack. Oh into the donut
So a good position to have and George is actually gonna move forward towards kicks
It was that bomb takes away
His patience. Oh, you know just yet, but it will
George is completely forgotten about this. Yes, but
There we go. Actually, they're going flying up. I'm gonna reaction from OC. He's gonna do it all
It's gonna be a four-cate from OC and a risk on five-hp to cross to the back
But monocies just got all the deep use.
There's hostie go for the peak.
He does go into the open.
Monocie gets up to the chill.
And these rounds are coming so, so, so, so close.
But Falcons edging them out every time.
One to pie around if you're at RG.
So desperately close right at the end.
Oste with another banger of a shop to prevent kicks in from getting a double,
giving himself a chance and the one to bring it all the way to the end.
He's been spectacular and clutches.
But that one is just barely out of reach in NRG.
Still no success to speak up in this second half.
Oh, it's so frustrating, it has two extremely close rounds that could have put them up to map point and our G just watching that come back
happy and on the other side now one round separates it. I mentioned it is there after the pistol that knowledge of okay this rough
T side ancient might be manifesting itself again like here we go one more time, but now you've also got the other memories popping forward
as well. I've been forno the map just prior where you got close and so many rounds where you lost a couple of close
I'll just clutches that buried you in the first half.
And it's just been so long where you haven't had a win now.
Seven rounds straight for Falcons.
NRG desperately need a performance that changes this game
that just changes the energy.
And it look at the money still for Falcons.
Even after a couple of close rounds, still rich.
You better clear this, this is a detailed distinction of the game that the either did you could miss.
Oh, it's going to be easy, Joe, for me, Joe,
the actual utility down separate all foc, but Oc doesn't care right now.
He is just hunting these frags down 24 kills so far from Oc.
Yeah, great, great showing from Oc thus far on the other side of the map.
It's bro who's just trying to maintain control of the lane outside of the
bomb site, making sure nobody pushes, making sure the option for energy to fall
back to his position is available to them.
So, starting to kind of a scamper through T spawn at the moment,
they'll join up with him in just a few seconds.
Still through defenders here as testes slides into cave.
Interesting monacy on the other side of the map.
He's got the safety of temple.
But Falcons playing without information at this point
so the positions they're choosing to play are safe.
Oh, bro, finished off.
The testers just retreats back and they're safe to get the cave.
All banks as well.
I don't know if you move into the sight of the plant.
Okay, so that's him in close rounds, right?
Oh gee, over these last few.
Test is spamming and making sure they know he's still here.
To set up Kixen's flank, but you gotta pick one up eventually.
Kixen now arriving on that flank.
Oh gee, spotted looking at the wrong light.
And George stepped in a little bit too far into the scope of monocytes.
So it's all tied up.
That comeback has happened so quickly, and that happy energy,
that positivity and confidence you built for the first half is eradicated.
eradicated if you're energy. Yeah, it's all and it's nowhere to be found at the moment. You can't even remember that it ever existed at this point tough times at the moment
for energy as this just is is just getting worse now
8 in the row for falcons
They have all the solutions on this defense and still yet to give themselves in it
I feel like we haven't seen a whole lot of rounds of energy of like found like a like a kill
You know, maybe just like a that's who for one trade taking some kind of the map control
I feel like they haven't really been able to challenge too much in the mid-round throughout this half
Bro, trying to push the issue is trying to get our heaven to join his teammates. He has done pretty well
And they're just set up a look up towards heaven and so bro, and I try and George all taking kills early
All right, they've had enough tied up and now in our G to get it going.
That's just got an angle.
They step in this time, kicks and goes down.
And that's the first round of this second half for energy.
They're going to get the plump flat.
Monacy has nothing to do.
We're going to start shifting over.
And this sets up a very interesting situation.
Because if we look at the money,
well, Monacy kind of closes out this one before,
it's going to be a lot of rebuys on the Falcon side.
Nico's going to be pretty much out of money after the next round by kicks in.
It's going to be tough.
You have cash on Monacy to drop over.
But you start putting the money in kind of an odd situation where Falcons have to consider it in their decision making and if you could ever reset that at this stage
This light in the map to have a stating to ever lose is that
Monacy will keep the all
No, he won't. Oh, he won't. That's actually a huge deal if he was able to keep that into the feet could have dropped two
them for us in this next round and that would have been a long way to prevent too much
of the hurt in terms of the money.
How is it going to have to reinvests to energy if teeth themselves up?
And this is the opportunity they really can't miss on 11th attack, they've maintained
the lead.
You get the 12th attack right now with a win and Falcons is going to have a couple players
fighting with scraps in the next round. So a chance now for NRG. As they look to force
a third map in this series, the salimination series that I am crack out of, Group B, third
and deciding map would be just too if we can make it there. Probably map for all the
talent inside the server.
Important that NRG keep this up, though. You know, can't just be one flash of the pan here. We
We already know that they have one A round on the T side inch, and yesterday that was it, and so we can't be a similar result here.
Paul can still have a lot of money, and this is a good fight.
Let's say try and get into the mid-flight.
It's just okay to force that elbow push away, and we're guessing on G funneled into what is going to be an A attack out of spawn.
Yes, Sonic Fortune to get away with the kind of HB that he does.
So he'll stay with the lurk, there's even checking out the CT smoke, so they can actually attack into the A.
bombsite bro is coming back right now he's in T spawn at the moment so hit is under way
falcons a little bit out of position but not unheard of at this a bomb site so plant
will likely go down Nico 9 HP that last bullet just does tons of damage and he's got
a back off he'll set up and throw utility first teammates but now the retake gets exponentially
more difficult to peek a lot of the fight
today's just landing heavily towards Keksand it drops into 7 I mean I don't know if you
you want to go for this with two players at low HP.
Remember the money situation as well.
That's a consideration now for Falcons.
Do they want to risk these weapons in this?
It's just a second.
Take a look at the likelihood of winning this round.
Get smaller and smaller and also with that kill from OC.
It might have just been the decision for them.
They're lucky they don't lose more.
OC have that damage confirmed.
You'd be fighting all these and trying to take these low HP weapons away.
But as such, you gave up the fight.
They can be retake with still a possibility.
So Falcons able to back out, salvage all the weapons that they've still got.
Four of them will survive into that round.
I've never once days up, not sure it goes down to the floor, a single player survives
here for the side of energy, but in fact, they just want to run to the road, it feels like
they figured it out right at the end.
Well, and all that pressure, all that worry that builds up and saying like, okay, here's
our crappy engine T side, how are we going to close this one out when we win this is so
rough?
But now you have the pressure of saying, okay, we've at least got over time.
You know, you don't have to be super concerned about that at the moment.
You got two chances to close it out.
focus on the next round, you know, at hand.
Last two rounds, it looked like a lot of attention towards the middle for Falcons.
And how do you really make it feel like this mid hit is coming in both rounds?
And back to the A-Polk site, Rinse and Refique Possies here.
Yeah, I'm honestly a great shot.
That's going to rip apart George.
You're going to continue to put the pressure on pilot all the time.
Honestly, honestly, no hashtag today, in fact, plugs the gap.
Two kills to keep Falcons alive here.
A 5-3 is energy.
You're going to have to pick themselves over this hole.
No longer they take the more rotation, start to arrive here from Falkins.
Yeah, I'm honestly new.
He's like, they took that A-Boss, they'd wait too easy.
Good kill from Sonic, they needed somebody to create this.
Great to see.
Oh, that's true!
Okay, we're in the follow-up.
And it's 4 on 2.
That was the old employee fight, that kid's okay.
Losers that jewel that it looks like it's back on,
and energy had a chance of closing it.
Still can.
Oh, stop the big thoughts.
Off the rip, we're getting himself one here at just 2k.
Has the utility to toss out his water by some time, but he's gone.
That's what it's all like, throw and he steps out into the open,
kicks and all come from the kill.
and falcons will confirm that we need every round of regulation.
Yeah, bomb plants gonna help us next to one of the
these loose a couple of the tail end of the previous round.
So we'll see what the economies like, but energy, one more fit for it.
I love the idea.
I'm honestly new exactly what was happening.
New that was gonna be a play called so number, put some self at the angle
to counter the rush perfectly with the AWP.
Staves this team it as well to boot in the aftermath.
Right here looking down the line calling out as last tactic of regulation
around 24 overtime for falcons or map number 3 earned by NRG.
NRG set up.
That's out of the beast side, through plies at the bottom of the ramp.
And 9-trills start to walk as long as the top.
So you're right out one and start at the bottom side.
That's 10-star's removed kicks and stepping into the open.
9-trills again.
So really important shooting, but they had an extra player lining way.
Hitting away is kids through K.
But even he can't do enough.
And so we now have three versus two.
His NRG are in total position to try and close this map out.
But he killed his arrived in time.
And it's that geo of Nikon Monacy trying to close this one out for
to get it into overtime and pro one play.
You tell these many things very difficult here for O.C.
He can't confirm the plant just yet.
And it's helped us drop.
It's 29.
There's to be a 4th of an eco.
There's the fight one by Sonic.
It's monesty for the clutch.
Only go to map 3 of Dust 2.
What a turn around for the meta-G.
The first half of the season.
It's not a question.
But yeah, you're right.
They lined up and it's a ding.
And we'll confirm the map victory.
Oh my god, NNG, they hit real close there, they line up, but eventually they break through,
they get ancient under the belt, and so impressive that they're able to get find out on
a inferno, but stay in it here on the second map.
Yeah, I don't know that the complete reversal in the first half, the dominate themselves
with them fighting themselves under the brutal of Falcons for the entirety of the second
half, winning three of the last four rounds after getting blanked to take that map away,
and earn themselves a chance I'm just too to eliminate Falcons for my own crack-up.
That's a huge performance, and you gotta give so much credit over to Osu.
We've been talking about, is that performance from stage one,
you're gonna continue in the better competition gets here.
As this performance is set, we've seen in North America,
and it can continue now that he's over in Europe,
and this is such a banger game out of Osu.
Absolutely, really impressive stuff he was doing on every weapon, right?
He was doing the eight-chains, the pistols, doing on the ATV,
he wants to see brought that out.
It was so clutch for his team.
Oh, it's just so impressive, Emosi.
What a performance to get out of G, the win here today.
What's the load-up moments from George and Roll?
Obviously starting off a lot stronger.
Right, right.
The Friday news openings in the last round?
Yeah, absolutely.
So mental recovery as well from Roll,
who we came out of the very top from Fernando
came into naturely from showing up here a match.
From the whole team,
I hope they come back into the third map
with that same kind of attitude.
From the moment like,
roll gets that knife in the pissed-run.
You know, we're going to see a little bit of a chuck,
a little bit of a choke, a little bit of like,
and then you get the vibes going
and it was just like, I will destroy all of these people.
No one, no one was ready to have fun.
Everyone from energy was ready for piss.
Well, Dust 2 is what we're going to conclude the business of energy versus Falcons, who
is staying alive in Crackle and who is heading home, Dust 2 will settle it.
It starts with a dream, with a team you barely know, in an amateur official that
feels like the grand final, where practice becomes progress, and every loss feels like
lesson. When will your journey begin?
Let's see.
Can I see?
You're pulling that mean to me now.
Was it gonna be?
Where's your head?
Where's my head?
Watch out the list of chase any show.
Let's just show it, let's just show it, let's just show it
Now it gets longer, as it's faster
You know, tell me, when I decided to know that you first was right through
Let's just get up to see a picture
The same picture
The heart of your image of the sister
That's just down the sick and to me
The same picture
I don't see it
And I don't see it
What's it to live in your shoulder for a minute, be a good stronger, be a good stronger,
We are the top guy who can tell me what he's got to do with him.
Welcome back to the entire Shroom Master's Crack Off, 2026.
This is a day off survival for NRG and Falcans and both teams, one of their opponents
map picks, which is very surprising considering the way Falcans beat down NRG on
in front of them, but NRG came out so really great performance from this man, OC, and
then we were able to get the job done on HN.
Just about towards the end.
Yeah, just about, it took a lot, but I mean, you got to give credits where it's due, yeah,
So I'm going to perform inside of OCD, the excellent CTE side,
over all from NRG, and even despite the struggles in the T-side,
being able to piece it together right at the end
three in the last four to close out the map, prevent over time.
And I'll last the comeback.
Very, very good things for its team
that put up an under verge, very much so
just a ventile collapse after the way that app was going.
So we go into map number three.
It's just too to decide everything.
One of the oldest maps in Counter Strike enters the stage,
and we get to see who goes home at the end of the day.
elimination on the line energy starting on the CT side falcons attacking into them on the offense
I was the strong start was a big reason as to why I had our G where we get going on the ancient and
Really shows his strong performance across the whole map. Well, let's see what energy you can do here in this pistol
We're going up through short here on the falcon side of things and monacies gonna come out on top of the early engagement against Sonic
They open and kill falls of favor of the T's
Oh no trade yet, although doing some damage to kicks it.
Alright, well this position from George because unchecked.
Thessus hasn't even considered it if the moment. He's kind of given it some cursory glances.
Okay, needs to know that Chutney does.
Alright, now he can help protect Bro. But Bro's got a fallback and he's under so much pressure.
Good shot! There's George out from Long. One more would be great. Look at the low HP. He's got it.
Triple kill from George holding onto the bomb site.
Yeah, now Nico left one V3 clutch required so he's gonna put that bomb down or at least a tap it
Yeah, bomb plan be good for the second round force by here for his team if he's unable to win this clutch
Nico with the USB this dude's got a great chance to close out this pistol
So I figured out whether you want to go for this retake attempt did it when all come from the same side
I'm lying the long players now show two-place spotted
You go piecing that together in his head he exposed themselves to the short peak of the time
And that is going to be OC coming through and that short flag straight away took the risk to show his back to short
And ends up crossing him. Yeah, tough clutch for for Nico
What he's getting into the bomb plane and get that down
I mean you have you have a tough decision you need to get hyper aggressive to kind of take yourself away from the danger coming from short of OC
But you put yourself in a disadvantage fight or you play the way Nico does and you could see that quick one tap first bullet headshot
could have east up in the gather of oceans are coming from behind that's really nice
they don't have the pistol for energy mostly from George and a failed clue where the pit from
tasses is they're undoing so one nothing for energy each side again starting out on the right foot
I'm going to get in themselves, comfortable into the tunnels early on here, while
I'm going to be sending a couple down lower, and if that top lid peak could come in
to cut that hinge smoke thrown out for the doors, you can't split mid-control through
lower tunnels and through top mid and get up through cat, so you're going to have what
you want to fall against. And you can see the difference of that ball and plant from
Nico has done to the buy of all things. I got a very good purchase here.
Yeah, and actually that's kind of scary if you're on our G. You're given a lot of respect
over to them.
OCs, the main point of contact and main resistance at the A-bombsite, just a single
M4 at railing and our G being very cautious about the mid to B-swit. And I mean, for
good reason, right? This is felt so far just showing they take catwalk showing that they
might want to use that as a staging ground. But the options available to them to drop
back just as they're doing. Check out the smoke and attack into that B-bombsite. Three
Fenders here with Sonic playing outside the site.
Make sure inside and same with bro.
Well, smoke out for the cross.
That's being deployed, so I'm going to be alerted
to the fact that a beast is likely to set up here.
But he turns away from the flash nins.
They're getting right for the tech dines.
The space is up and bro, well, he's
under quite a bit of pressure away about the windows
swing, but it was just a second player.
come into the doors that cost him his life.
Now the plant will be secure from Falkins
and energy slowly making the way closer to the bomb site,
but it's so tough to see a world in which they retake this.
Yeah, I would have liked it.
If you're gonna play Sonic outside the site,
kind of alone to work with, with bro over at the window,
I'd like to see him be a little bit more aggressive
but again, so much, so much space is given over for Falcons.
Now this is still very doable with that fine on Tess's over in middle.
Two on two, there's no kids, so we'll see George
have to move quick, but there's plenty of time in the bomb still.
Having out of the double doors, we're tied up at one reinvestment from CT side pistols,
one MP9 on Nitro, nothing to be too excited about.
We're gonna get some aggression though.
Sonic pushes up towards top mid, OC pushes in towards lower with a 5-7.
Sonic, find a bunch of the Bonna C4, Bonna Cs is gonna handle it, give the 2K the same
in the lowest adults.
Just nitro-left on the MP9 with VAT HP, it is two pistols around them.
Yeah, nothing for the follow-up players, you had a couple players position on Catlock, nothing for them to do.
When these kills happen so far away, I can't really peek into anything.
So Nitro is going to tuck himself behind the double doors.
Five on three for Falcons, so they can take it as slow as you'd like.
You're going to have plenty of opportunities to hit the pause button,
just wait and see if there's going to be a reaction.
Nitro! Okay, spades around on that.
99 now he's got to end whoa okay nitro that is something special in the lower tunnels
Nitro is turn nothing into something quite beautiful here for energy. Oh
That's an awesome sequence flash through the smoke and nobody expected
I thought for sure Falcons would be on notice for any place like that but not ready for nitro
A quick three kills and the round is back in contention
It's always the way with the 570 actually goes into the peak instead of waiting and it has caused him a dense leak out
I know it could up that beat Bob size so the smoke is gonna go down the mall it's off towards the back of the side
But that smoke's gonna way too deep look at that that alone bro is still trying to spot the cross
I wasn't the end to the silo a lot easier as well
Because I've gone for the oh
No miss smoke's cost him it's broke. Come in in now. Jesus has the clutch and he's so close
Oh my gosh, Ro!
Low HP delivers a gen!
That is a nitro hero moment for energy!
Yeah, there he is.
Got a smile on his face.
That's role in back the years.
That's very precise shooting with the M4 when he fixed it up.
Cut off, guard on the fallback.
Look at this.
First kill is there.
Transfer's back, kicks in no chance.
Blinded, I think, by the flash, but that one's
doing a beauty on a monacy.
And the Mac 10 has to be an instant kill.
Back and forth, we go trading round to start
Just through this third map, through to one for NRG!
NRG swarm eight.
The tunnels, they've got full control of it.
Well, because NRG have control of the tunnels,
Falcons can't really do anything on that half of the map.
So they're gonna move over to was a long instead.
No one's home at the moment.
Beepance is positioned up on Catwalk with Burro and OC.
It's gonna be up to George with the Sampi 9 to just get a spot.
Thankfully, it hasn't up to 9,
so you're not gonna make the decision to get into a fly.
You'll see something and just run away.
How fast is this scaling is the question?
Look at it, if you know that smoke walk around it, test is.
Challenges over at car.
Here's the perage of utility to slow down this hit
to let the defense get into place.
There's a story out. George, it's QSUK, it kicks out both falling away, bro doing what
he does best, and we've not got Nico left.
In start of the CT smoke, go see, he knows exactly what Nico's up to.
And so four players step front our G, three rounds go on the school board, and we are
getting a good CT start again here from that our G.
Yeah, we got a game on our hands.
This is going to be beautiful.
They wouldn't have took a war, and they're going to move forward with all the advantages
in the world.
So likely going to be around where we're Falcons sit back with just pistol, hold on to
and it's best to. I'm surprised that in challenge through that smoke a little bit earlier,
but I mean, you know, damned if you do damned if you don't, you know, one way you're executing
and you're stepping through it into the flashbang, the other one you're just everyone's caught
by the flashbang waiting behind it. Chopstin area for Falcons to be in, but now they sit back with
blocks. Flashbang just in case there's a lower push, there is one, but not as aggressive as Falcons
We're setting up for
Melted Sonic and Oc's shredding them and our kicks in is locked on his own soon man those blocks don't get anywhere
I was expected nice and clean here from energy building that money up. Yeah, some funny facility work from energy in these past two rounds
that last time.
Actually, let me say the past three rounds.
The flashbang that activated night true for his triple kills.
Yes.
We rounds back or three rounds back.
Previous round, the smoke delay at long, the pop flash through
it's activate George.
And now this Nade chunks players down and give Sonic an easy swing
for money making triple kill.
And they're all having a good turn.
And now you force the time out out of Zonak and Falcons
as they talk things over.
I mean, I guess it is a good point to rehash just
how devastating this would be for a team like Falcons
with their aspirations starting the year
with an incredible upset loss to NRG to be eliminated from Crackoff.
That would set this team back in their goals. I don't even know how much. That would be a very tough thing to deal with when you realize coming into this year.
You've not made progress. You've taken steps backwards.
Especially, you know, when you see Falcons have a good run in Malta without their full team.
Yes, and then you come to Crackoff and we've got a full team. This is it.
And if you were to lose that NRG and be knocked down in a competition in the group stages,
You're just, yeah, then stretch your head.
You kind of have to ask yourself some questions that you don't really want to ask yourself.
Grouped up is Falcons.
They're feeling bruised.
I think beaten individually at the moment for Menarji to stay in grouped up
and just going to hit this beep on site.
And they found a timing where nobody's home.
I sure need something from this position.
He's got the first great damage a second kill from Bro.
Exactly what the doctor ordered for energy.
G.
So, the plant's coming in.
The plant's gonna be at tier 3-5 post-plat position.
We know you can still be strolling in post-plat and that'd be, so even if you are
a couple of players down.
That's smoked.
Sonic's gonna be willing to challenge that.
The next obstacle for energy on the retake is the one-third winning outside
modesty.
You want to see Spot though?
Oh, we get hard clear.
So, as goes jump in, modesty's still frugging though, and the A to B P is slow to peak,
modesty doing a lot of work, he's just carving up energy!
Oh, they lotting get away with that, and then the knee jump comes in.
Oh, that has got to feel so tough for Edwin G, but a celebration after talking.
Yeah, just not enough of a swing to take out monocene, not enough people were prepared for that fight.
First player goes down, the reaction is so slow, monocene's given time to reposition, to reset his recoil, and he's got to feel day with the triple kill.
Oh, complete devastation when you're given the gift of two kills, you're playing a re-take on the B-bombsite outside of it, and you still give yourselves a five on three.
That's a gift you cannot give back, and it's exactly what energy's done.
I'm not sure if I can do that.
Do you think the best Falcons impression on that retake?
Yeah.
A real.
I can all the way down into the lower tunnels.
I'm able to capitalize on the opening chance.
Oh, the chance.
Oh, the treat.
Oh, see, open her.
It's bro through the smoke.
It's okay.
He's going to be knocked out first.
Yeah, cool sequence though from Falcons.
Just bro gets a blind kill.
I like the idea.
Break the smoke.
Extinguish the Molotov reverse that order with a flashbang from Monacy.
So, five on four again from NRG.
This is, and that's kind of something we saw back at ancient as well.
Like, even not perturbed at all by those round losses coming right back into things
and still maintaining their voice.
So Falcons get a start scaling up short at the moment,
turn on the corner, make sure there's no offer
nothing on the angle.
OCD does have his off-back at the A-bombs,
so he's playing railing.
All the utility.
Going up into position here,
comes the Catwalk Execute,
20-0 seconds left.
So I'm making the way towards OCD,
it's just lying away with his A-WP,
If you've down into a CT here.
And right now no one from NRG is fighting them,
and then the spank comes through from Bro.
That's going to be kicks in.
Becoming a victim.
So we have a 3v5 again.
This time you'll see energy with it, you poke.
All right, wait for the team.
Now Monty Balls, short.
This comes up and shown and it's time Monty Balls.
He doesn't get a 3K and test this gets caught,
but just a single fry.
So NRG, they keep four players up.
They get three tank and they respond
to a frustrating round loss in the previous.
Yeah, the drop down was cool because it forced OC to back away and remain uncommitted after
he gets flashed off the angle.
Problem is, they're so susceptible to the spam, the CT spawn, the other side of the map,
and he goes, got to jump back up.
You don't actually get anything for it, that's a long lasting into the post-plat.
And this time, a very nice retake, a coordinated, a little bit more patience, and everyone
ready to battle and they're called upon.
Hey, go to say, we were talking about bro having a really slow starting through the series,
was really struggling on inferno, had a great second map.
No, he's another good game here an important strike from bro there in that moment
You got the blind kill on kicks in as well. They'll open things up to give him a five on four in the first place
So yeah, he's finding some some fun of the way Fabian packed
So okay quick out here from knee jump kick it into gear in
You won't get anything kicks in does get the opener put it's responded to immediately by two quick kills here from NRG
So when I would have four B three of NRG with the advantage
Yeah, but I think if you're falcons are happy about this look at this face you've given monocies like okay
Well, we got to kill out towards long. I'm gonna have a gap in middle that I can slide into O.C.
How far are you gonna go? Oh, oh, oh, oh, faster. Oh, my god, did it see enough of the body to take a shot and O.C.
trucks him. So now for a falcon you got two players stuck in tumble just slowly limping out.
This is like plant C. I don't know. Broch is waiting on that. No problem.
Step on out into the bro.
And they're gone, heads ripped off six rounds on the board, and RG, a feeling it, this is very similar to ancient.
Yeah, this is a crazy, crazy turn of events, considering the way the series began,
works like energy didn't even belong in the server with the team such as Falcons,
but that's so it's entirely a map too.
And now continuing on this third and deciding map,
and RG up by four.
You know what the difference is this wall from Falcons on ancient when you're getting wrecked like this is that you've got a map behind you as you're concerned
Because safety guy right you don't have that anymore
Like what's waiting here if you lose this is a elimination from I am crack off to energy
Yeah, it's a long depressing plane ride home
of those fights, he's not gonna be afraid of throwing his body into danger and getting
things done.
Second time out, forced out by Falcons.
Now, five rounds back, seven to two, and stumped at the moment, they're opening plays
haven't worked out.
They try to get kicks and activated in middle previously with a flashbang.
He gets dropped by Bro, tried to fast-long play with kicks in Aniko and they have the
spawns in the previous round.
That didn't work.
Zanik does really try to find his team a game plan for the first 30 seconds of the round.
and give him an advantage, prevent them from playing these four on fives.
Actually trying to keep some of the decision making out of their hands as he kind of talks through what he's seeing from his first behind them.
Deep breath for falcons, as the timeout comes to a close and they got to get back into the action and start recovering this.
Hey, watchers eat in good today though.
Feasting.
Absolutely feasting.
It's a buffet.
Now, the money paid heads issue here for DAPS.
You won't that get resolved as quickly as possible.
Because only once.
You're going to ice yourself out for a coach.
You can play without it. He's good.
Well, if it's a quick turnaround, then you'll be all right here.
We can go old school with no technology.
We'll just have a lot like we're using.
DAPS just hangs out.
To be the kids in sign language.
Oh, no.
This is, you would really hate to see it wouldn't you.
But it's quick.
We got to fast happens faster after this.
Yeah, they didn't. They're on top for their job.
check out this headset does it work
it was in thumbs up apps
come on now
all right, so not too bad nothing too crazy seems like he's back in the action
I don't wonder if we're gonna read I don't know if we're gonna read you
I don't know when that actually happened in if the time on us to be redone, but yeah
coaches, coaches, coaches back haven't gotten thumbs up significantly up though
and they're just just testing oh that's how it's all for dad now let's see
And
you want to keep it rolling when you got this kind of momentum.
Always talking now.
Some of the suitment things are fixed.
Okay.
Here we go.
All right.
So yeah, looks like we are kind of very going through things.
Daps is getting his chance to talk to the boys now.
The headset is working.
Typing coming in as well, so everyone's feeling ready to party.
groupie lower bracket match loser goes home winter moves on to play 3d Max.
Yes indeed. Let's check the checkup the other matches going as well.
Oh yeah there is quite a big match going on in the other stream isn't phase versus BC game currently underway on the A-Stream.
Yes it is a throw that up on a second monitor. Good game. Simple doing his best to keep BC game in the action here in Crackout.
Tough to ask up against falcons. Tough to ask at the moment, or excuse me up against a BC game. Tough to ask I was going to say as I transitioned gracefully into this match falcons with a five round deficit.
I'm going towards a long plate.
Oh, kids are okay. Already out long, putting pressure on them, they're here from the shores. Look at the response straight away. Kids are okay. Great kill, but George can't get one like that.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
They pulled a knife out. Why are we doing that? Everybody calm down.
4v3.
A chance to breathe.
Everybody's walk the way now at our G.
Not a way, Sonic.
Because that's the tray because you guys now form and then...
Now they're giving them all the peeks.
Giving them every fight they want.
Energy just looking to get killed back.
Call all of them into their favor.
Tough task.
Bomb is down out towards long.
But it's going to be picked up.
It's safety of the cave.
Sonic's up.
I think he's been spotted.
So you can see on the other side of the map.
And he goes opening up and giving it to Avenue into the B bomb.
So he'll pull Falcons back.
And now, Nico is the insurance policy inside the B bomb.
policy inside the people on site.
I'm breaking open the smell of Kevin Lumpur of a look into the site here, Stonic.
Honestly, he's engaged in a long flight and he eventually will finish off bro.
But he's something special from Stonic and he's got a chance.
And it's that he goes damn close to the head, but not able to pull it off.
I think I have a sneak of all people that did in that moment.
That would have been something something crazy.
No, it would be absolutely insane.
Okay, well the knife switch seemed unreasonable.
That was unnecessary.
Because George actually had that such a sick play.
He had such a great step on getting that flank
and blocking them in towards long.
And then Falcons would have felt really restricted.
The stake of inexperience, perhaps, seven to three
and you gotta just hope that's not the door open
for Falcons to come back into the game.
Fast pace up, short.
Oce is gonna be here with the opposite, expect this timing.
Oh, he's gonna take down and kick it out and ask for it.
And I dropped further and further back.
Slothered down with some utility,
so Falcons have to play with that player deficit.
Another one.
Nice shot from Oce.
This is taking two scalps over to its short
and this round from Falcons, despite the fast scaling,
losing two players like this,
paying the Oce attacks every step of the way.
And no longer matters that you got such a good amount of map control now you just have two players down.
This was the impressive thing about energy and that previous map as well is when they were on the CT run.
If they lost one, they just bounced back immediately, right?
There wasn't any moment where, okay, you get a streak and falcons went around and then falcons
going to streak at their own.
You're stopping them from building that momentum and you're making sure that it's just sporadic
round victories on this T side.
Yeah, falcons is one round two, round six and round ten.
haven't been able to string them together whatsoever,
never able to take this money away completely from the energy side.
Good gap in middle at the moment.
Oce as the rotator is up towards car with the AWP,
so I mean, despite the fact that it's a 5 on 3,
in a certain sense, it's a 3 on 2 at this bomb site itself.
25 seconds is all you've got left here.
The fall can's trying to move up into the peace site,
finish the still two players in the site,
Even damage being dumped through that CT smoke nitro descending down, but all the kills all of a sudden come in from Vulcans
How have you given that one away?
That's too much of a gap in middle not closing it down. It's a lot of room to work with a lot of real estate
Now George has got to come in for the one B2 and I think that door is wide open at the moment because Falcons
Looking like they're gonna script together a couple important rounds right at the end. That isn't saying that's monocity getting a three-cane
This round as well. I even go ahead and get himself full of mossy watching the doorway goes into the site and George will fall
That isn't incredibly frustrating round that full anarchy. That looked done you get two big openers there for most see and you somehow let it slide
See yeah, this this this round this can't be happening
Good shot from Montesby. I mean fair play here. It's incredible those are spectacular shots an incredible sequence
stringing three together and one of the great strengths of falcons is the star power and it delivers them round 11 and their first time on this map
They've strong two rounds in a row. Well, I guess that's how he that answers the question of how because we'll all see yeah, he has a moment
There's Teddy every shot requires so quick great reactions flicking back into a CT as well
They go for another opening here for OC
Houston, a top of teammates had but a flashbang comes in OC blinded not able to even take a shot there
Our chick sank it in root of him and an opening frag found here for all kids.
Well, this offense has found its stride right at the tail end of the half.
Better late than never.
Seven to two to seven four and out of advantage to close that even further.
Sonic with the off.
Gonna hope to find the equalizer but steps a little bit too far out into the open and punished.
Now last one of those half, gonna result in a fifth round victory for Falcons most likely.
Got a nice row waiting outside the people, so if you're close for the window, here they come, right?
So as I throw, and for ready and down to buy kneecoat, it's gonna clear the car and bro at least because that pig puts.
So chop it to see anything happening here, bro, we need to do miraculous move, and it's just not gonna happen for him.
George now loves to low and marches, way back, keep this patch too, super round that lurk.
But Monticee has given Falcons a chance to turn this around.
Yeah, bring some life into this half right at the tail end.
It's going to be three in a row to end the half.
And I mean, I don't think it had the impact, but it did coordinate with that time out.
The tech pause with his with Daps' headset.
So that extra little bit of delay coming back into a Falcons.
Just been in a great position and just shut things down.
7 to 5, three straight to close the half.
They're still alive, not out of it yet.
...
The illumination on the line here in crack-off and right now energy or originally could get there last couple of the rounds
Back because
Well, it was a half-ratter back because they were looking so good that CG saw with building it was looking beautiful
And honestly had his moment and we got a little life check back in the fall just in time
Yeah, seven or two starts in seven into five after tail end of the half
She's yeah, it takes a deflates a lot of that momentum you built them by being so dominant
But we get to see them reset as the half time they switch sides T side offense for energy. They're gonna be out long
heard as well by the defense of Falcons you've drawn all the way back and our Jankin is low down
So going cap started to smoke Nico
Great shot through that's gonna be throw had he hitting the deck in it great opening here for Falcons
Let's see if they get follow up on it test this is just waiting on the block sees another target
Community was processed
It's just up and down and goes like a lethal whack of all the Georgia noses still firing
and then just okay fire through the CT smoke himself and it's a double to secure it.
It will be the case still for falcons and the gap is now as single round.
Yeah, frustrating.
It's not falling all on that but the the mist smoke, the little bit gap in that the causes
bro to go down gives Nico just a little glimpse of the body, the timing of the jump
to nail that headshot and then you kind of just get rid of the part good positioning from
testes on top of the boxes nice flashbang over during the execute as well.
three numbers of energy blind. Great reaction from Falcon. It's now four a row extending back into the four step first half.
Yeah, fully cow here as well. So we're gonna have a tie game seven to seven. It's happened very quickly.
Now Falcon's dig come back into ancient.
Alright, the brink of a victory. Yeah, but a different kind of comeback, right?
It's the comeback where energy was up ten to two exactly. So you're 75. So now you've had less buffer
for between you and NRG now watching that joint away.
Yeah, you basically already come back in the scan.
Yeah, it's already happened.
Now we're just playing.
Here's the K, peeks up towards the cap.
He's a couple of players.
Nico takes out one in middle and now we go
over towards the final rush.
We're trying to close the gap, but Montesy
could have shut them down triple kill for Montesy at 15
and seven and we're tied at seven.
Let's see what energy is going to come in their first gun around, AK-47's being brought
out.
Looking to get back some of that play that got them out to a hot start at great lead
in the first half.
So three up towards Upper Dark can start traversing down the stairs very slow pace from an RG plenty of utility for them to utilize double door smoke coming in just now from the long side
I don't allow Sonic to clear things out make sure nobody's playing aggressive
Soilken's defense sat back on their heels for the moment
Just sook at the only real aggressor behind this smoke but nothing to break that open just listening for sound cues
But fake actually, they're going to come back up through short of course.
Yeah, seem like NRG wanted to really pound some of those kills and make a decision right
out of the gate, but Nitro pulls them back under control and says, let's be patient.
Let's wait this one.
Let George play out towards long.
Let's see what he finds in the A-pop state before we commit anywhere.
And the round looks very clean.
Well done from NRG.
Getting right back that lead right back into their favor.
8 to 7 up by 1.
Let's see this one.
Yes.
That's where I'll talk to you in the misunderstanding.
Now here, let's buy and let's push.
Sounded like it.
I heard that's buy.
I'm pretty sure I heard him say something along lines of pushing.
Kicks has got a shotgun.
Let's see if you're right, maybe into the low tunnels.
No, okay.
Kids are just going to play out at the doors.
They help sure.
Instead, there's some aggression.
It's Nico.
Well, not pushing, but playing aggressively on short, they can choose to turn the corner
with the kicks and flash.
But they want to deal with lower before they feel like they can turn their gaze.
There's the jump for information, Sonic spots the aggressive stats, teammate comes out.
You can eat a little bit of damage, and that's a good amount of control for energy with
very little resources spent.
Spam down for Sonic he's not enjoying that he's on 20 health after that.
Back to that grimey round that he's just taken a bunch of damage that he really wasn't in the mood for.
Yeah, one through the smoke, previous round was due to the utility steps in the Molotov to challenge Nico, E.T. grenade as well.
So yeah, he's played back to back round with low health.
Not gonna deflate someone like Sonic though from getting stuck into the action.
We'll george expect to follow-up player though, Niko is here at long as well.
Monacy on the railing, Monacy's got no util.
No smoke to create, some space for himself, no nades to disrupt or attack or harass anyone at all.
It's just all aim.
on the field of the ramp goes back up for a peek here and he's done pretty well and makes
it even better with that second head showing him the headshot will land. It's just broke.
He's together when he can't hear but that's okay too much to handle and Falcons. Yeah,
we'll put him up some resistance.
Monusy didn't have any nades but equally no one threw any nades into his position. Like
no Molotov. I think it awkward, no smoke no nades in his face. No flashbangs to make
sure he can't get comfortable with those repeats. He just kind of got a bite his time.
for the reload, call for the flashbang from Nico out towards long. Thankfully, Nico gets
that kill, George wasn't ready for it, so he's alive to activate monacy. In monacy just
really seems like the point man for Falcon to the moment where it's monacy triple kill
after triple kill after triple kill, that seemed to be keeping this team in this map.
16 and 8 for monacy, 12 and 9 for Nico on the NRG side of things.
is leading the way with 14 OC and George tied up at 12 kills on Dust 2 thus far.
Okay, Molotov went towards Goose instead of rallying. They didn't want to have to deal with
anyone kind of hiding in the corner. So, honestly, they got free-range to just peek and
Repeat and repeat as much as you want it and I'm going to invest themselves 3 AK-47's 2T goals
So really hurt and for cash at the moment, but it is a dangerous buy
Let's see what they do this 3 AKs
It's going to throw out the hinge smoke for the double doors down mid
If you block to that deep smoke at the long house, so it can't really play off of that
That was Sonic Man's hand in presence of Midas, we've seen from the past few rounds.
Even with just a diggle still going to be a force to get a lot of people know he's here.
Three players waiting outside long for NRG, so looking for a late round timing.
They want some of this utility to burn so they can have that advantage in the later stages.
Now it didn't pin out perfectly for them previously against Montecay at the A-Bombsite.
test is to hold on to long. Monacy is at car. Nico and CT Swan will hustle back to help
railing if need be.
Well, test says that's the term of the flashes for just a second. A lot of flashes. Kevin is
away. Then he picks up from pick. Monacy assists in. Testers gets too easy for eggs.
Now, 40 seconds on the thought pan on G fold. It's just that one eight eight.
We set up the last two. And it's all cleaned up by monacy.
Flashbangs have been so good for Falcons in this round. Actually the past few rounds just
been just an absolute monstrous.
At our G's kind of getting into positions and waiting for a flight in Falcons are like
well we're just pop-flash and peek you after the fact that is just a lovely lovely few rounds
of utility from the Falcons side of things. And that's given him a 9-8 lead.
First lead up this game for Falcons. Previously they just managed to tie it at 7.
Now they finally actually get to take an advantage moving forward and that advantage gets
It's compounded by the fact that energy out of money, not really getting any bomb plants
during the stretch as well, like they did for one round or just kind of gotten decimated.
Well, we know that it's all because of how better CT size than the T-size drops today.
We've seen them rack up a lot around and really get going when the rhythm is on their
side.
That's a worrying sign because simultaneously as well, it's all because of a good CT size
energy of also being weak on the T-side.
So it's still in pretty rough now for an energy.
It's starting to feel like their chances of getting this upset victory overfockers have
I start to diminish, I don't want to be in that situation, but it is just true.
I think next gun around is going to be very telling, I think that's pretty much where the map will be decided.
Energy is going to have to win it if they want to keep up this fight.
Otherwise I think Falcons just kind of mop this one up.
This time he got the grenade, drops it right into the nitro's face, last four players from energy scaling up short now.
And once again, be to attack in the modesty, this time he's got a NAWP.
Oh, he's going to miss it.
It shouldn't be much but throughout anyway, even with these missions, he stood up plenty of teammates around a rifle
So we're cleaning up the rest of the attack monocity eventually because he's a shot to go his wake and fucking switch double figures
So this is the buy coming up that you said is gonna be really indicative of how the rest of this game is gonna go
And so NRG called for a second time. Yeah, they need it. This is this is all important around
This is you have to call some kind of a pocket tactic and see how you want to work this one this kind of default like gets on a work in catwalk
hasn't really netted you a whole lot of results yet. So do you want to stick with it to
you feel like it's given you enough and it's done a good enough job to kind of call that to
open up the round or do you want to descend into something and kind of call it out of spawn and say
all right guys. Let's go to your thing, but this is how we're going to, this is what we're going to do
about the 40 seconds in. You have long spawns that you can take advantage of. Haven't really seen
them creep and use that kind of sonic short control to drop it and do a mid to be split. They threw
This smokes this round as a fake to get some players to rotate and focus over towards middle
But without the strength of weaponry behind it, it didn't net them anything
Just gives dropped all of his utilities, so he's gonna push out with imagine I have to either think he's gonna be pushing into lower dark
Yep, there we go
It's gonna hang around with a site K-47
I'm sure he's going to get one.
I want it, please, to go to Cresson.
I'm trying to chase after him.
I'm at it.
Just for KKets' one, and then Nico,
to find the follow-up in response with the utility.
Same exact setup that NRG did in the 1st half as well,
and at this time it was Sonic,
who was the guy who got activated previously.
He wasn't ready for the fight after the grenade whatsoever.
His own trick used against him.
And I'll already on the back foot.
And that two for one exchange.
So you have control of middle, but you don't have the resources to watch for a long push really.
George has got his eyes on it, but he's going to have to join up with his teammates when they start moving forward.
You've got a second smoke on OC for CT spawn, and they'll have to use that to scale into the bomb site.
Yikes.
Yikes indeed is Niko.
Well, remove towards and at all come crashing down has the energy.
A whole lot of life until that kill from OC to get one more back into 2v2 and that
B bomb site is under pressure, but they're actually going to back away.
I think it's 20 seconds lost.
Okay, I was going to say I think there might just be saving, but I guess you just kind of go for this last
desperate swing out towards the A bomb site, but Niko can play this in so many different.
I like that close to rotating off the B site too.
they know the session of the time is they're not coming into the
be site now they're going for an eighth finish so they get a move on
and he wrote it in and he chose the perfect position to shut them down at
least the diversable the time but it's 11 rills now for falcons that's what I
mean like it neaker just has so many different ways he can actually approach
that situation right you can take the fight you can harass you can see if
you can freeze him in delay knowing the clock is running down you can wait as
he did just until they get to the point of the plant and wait and like you know
assuming they're going to fall at the bomb to get the bomb down and you swing
because they don't know you're there just yeah desperation at the end of the day
for energy and that's the round I think that kind of shows us I think energy is just sort
of running out of gas here unfortunately. Second map lovely first half of this map absolutely
lovely two sides today as you've mentioned a couple of times it's very very rough for energy.
They got one more last go at it. A half by here with tech nines and pistols a jiggle on OC
and then you'll have one more gun rounds.
You feel proud that the way you're losing this is so rough.
It's deflating.
Yeah.
You'll be something you'll think about a little bit later on in your chapter's perspective.
But, right now, it's going to stay as kicks out in Kusuke.
Keep the pressure up and really stop energy from getting one near this bomb site.
It is map and series point for falcons, which means NRG,
a little bit of ancient awaits if they can see one more.
Well, at least all the guns in this last rounds.
They can try something.
but at around 10 in the first half, Falcons just took over.
Gained control off the back of that Montesy triple kill with the AWP and ever since then Falcons have not looked back.
Once again, they found a way off the back of that sequencer Montesy to just elevate their game.
Do a level that's too much for energy to handle.
Oh yeah okay double kill for Sonic on the peek out from the top of Xbox so 5v3 open
or straight away here for energy and they ain't slowing down.
They're gonna commit into the site and look who's waiting for them.
It's Tessess.
They're right full on the ramp and abide his time.
Somebody Tessess can get, can he pull his team back into this round he's done well with
Once so far, the rotation has arrived for falcons, but the rotation has started to crumble immediately and
Q2 guys now stuck down into a CT spawn with no hope in this world.
Yeah, you got George behind of his well.
Okay, that's awkward.
Oh, okay.
It's not much.
Yeah, brought down to five which means unlikely, but damn, if he's put himself in a cool place,
shut down by nightro at the end and off the back of Sonic's job, all to open up the round and
our G.G. at 9th on the board.
Alright, a little bit of life still.
Second round for energy in this second half.
Three more to force over time.
I think I got one time out remaining as well, if I remember correctly.
I think you're right on that, and I think for the side of energy
would be so impressive if they were able to pull this back to overzone seems like such a long road, even though it's only a few rounds of a way
Just feels like it's such a difficult path to get their Azure mentioned, you know, struggling, it feels like they're running out of gas, T-Sides of you
So, today, you're saying they're running out of gas might might be a little bit too harsh, but I think they've still had some ideas, but just not getting enough production behind those ideas
The efficiency of which the team is performing has come to a halt
Well, the mid-control has been taken here for allergies, they get some space to his cat.
You've had this so much though, you know, Sonic hasn't done a bad job taking control of this.
It's just what do you do from here?
Monacy at railing has just been something they've never been able to get past or clear out or force away.
Every time he's been there and they've attacked through the abombs that he's just racked up for eggs.
And energy's made their decision.
As you see the dots move on the mini map, mid to B split, to keep them alive, Sonic yet again
to get a move towards short just to show some foot steps.
Chris Ross folks in middle.
Here's the hit.
Yeah, B can come in.
I love the kickstand.
It gets aggressive.
It gets caught.
And so KSUK steps up to the market instead.
30 seconds left.
Sonic racing in.
KSUK trying to get another one towards the tunnels, but he's overwhelmed.
Pushed and pulled and too many different directions.
25 seconds lot that door is wide open at the moment for Nico. They've got to wait on that smoke
That's what comes through Nico shots just bad. Anyway, I don't know bullets now has to go for the reload and that's the time
To move the bomb into the site. We'll falcon's retake this and close out the series now
Keep this going
It's gonna have you told you ready to fire over there come the flashes setting up Nico to go through the window
He's racist and flashes are doing
He can take the first kill, both of the second, but OC will land it, and now we've got
Nitro in the clutch to keep on RGA crack off, and he just can't keep them there.
It will be Falcons to eventually close this series to stay alive here in crack off.
There's North American squad, make them sweat.
But unfortunately, Fred, RGA not enough in the tank today to get the win.
Yeah, I mean, look, we can focus on the negatives if you really want to,
when the first one is going to be glaring for RGA is the T-Side,
but more than that, I think this is, as you mentioned, a game that should be proud of,
Today fought very very hard. You can see that look a frustration from Nitro.
That's the rounds that slipped away. The monocitriple kill.
Some re-takes that they lost and 2v4 on 2s that they let slip away.
For Falcons though, it's all size of relief.
Remember this doesn't really change any of our opinions about these teams.
But man Falcons, that's a scary one. Not like red flags, but seeing them kind of struggle against energy.
We're excited. Do you like this to be a confidence building win for the Falcons, guys?
We still have some questions.
Yeah, every is one of those situations where we came into today and we didn't expect much of that on G. We thought there was a world in which
We just went over the top and then I think the way the first map went I didn't think it was shocked
It just felt like it was intended and we've expected and
The fact that energy were able to come back into the series the way they did on ancient that mental reset and also came out swinging here on dust too
I think just the way in for no one they keep more impressive that they stayed in the suits
Yeah, it really does
I saw some cool things, I think we saw some very cool ideas and our G, they seem to
put together some very nice game plans for CT side to the defense, especially when you look at
ancient, especially when you look here at Dust2, you got to be really happy with how to be
present with G fans' plate for the most part. But yeah, now, as we imagine, this is a team that's
kind of here and on one, right? Not a whole lot of experience to top to your competition against
the best teams in the world. So this is all stuff they have to go back to the drawing board,
hit over that frustration and figure out what went wrong today with the T-size that didn't
allow you to produce anything notable on your offensive house. Yeah, I think with a team
Hawkins though, moving forward this isn't really a result. It gives you a lot of confidence
in a team that's expectations are to be able to win trophies at this level. And looking
at the rest of the field, it doesn't feel like Hawkins are even close to the top right now.
No, but I think more than anything, it's like when you see Falcon sit their peak,
it feels like they're close to the top. More often than not, you're not seeing a hit that
peak so it doesn't feel that way, but you know it's there. And this has been the constant battle
of this Falcon's team is finding that consistency, right? A lot of it you can chalk up towards
last year of new player Rookie, QSQK being brought in and trying to have him to figure things
out at this level of play. Other than that, I think that's the kind of the thing with
Falcons right now is it's almost like we're running out of like things we can point
to and say this is why they're not consistent. Yeah, I don't mean a big part of that is
obviously these advantageous situations. It's a little bit loose fundamentals because of the
star power but obviously we've seen it furnish them more often than not. Absolutely.
Well, look forward to hearing from them.
Falcons, I mean, a huge sigh of relief.
Let's get the thoughts about this though.
Unfortunately circumstances here,
as we do say goodbye to NRG,
at the Intel Extreme Master's Crackout, 2026, Nitro.
You've been in these situations before,
NRG taken a L today.
For you, what did you guys, what'd you take from this?
What'd you learn?
I mean, we learned a lot, obviously this term
and we didn't have that much practice coming into this event.
We had only matches this year,
so far pretty much, I mean, had like a five day boot camp, adding two maps, so, you know,
it's honestly not that bad considering our circumstances, but at the same time, it's like
we were so close to getting some huge wins, which would have been really nice, but overall,
proud of the guys. There were a couple of rounds there too, or, you know, it was like, okay,
kicks in, gets a DQs, I think round six in Furno, it's like, oh, is that deflating in those moments
for you guys as a team.
I mean, the whole T-S I was kind of deflating honestly.
But it's weren't getting the entries that we normally get.
We didn't really play any differently I would say,
but it was just mainly like us missing some kills,
maybe some confidence issues or whatever I'm not sure.
It's in the micro details for sure.
But yeah, I mean, those rounds really
still, especially when you're already down,
it's like, you know, keeping one on down kind of thing.
But yeah, we had a lot of those moments on that map for sure.
We look at us, too. You guys won the pistol. You've flood the conversion on the first half.
What, you know, where does that break down, starting? How do you start to address that in the moment?
On desk, he said.
I mean, it's rare because we've been having these games where we have one really good side, one really bad side.
So that continued in D2. It was kind of hard to find our footing on T-side.
They were getting a lot of multi kills on their CT, so it props to them.
Yeah, I think our training was just been a bit worse in this series and our previous ones
on Dust2.
And then, you know, our CT site, we had some heroograms coming into it, so it's, you know,
it's kind of hard to say, like, we play like insane or whatever, but we want a pistol
in the eco-dust, and then we want the next one, so it's like, it was kind of like a weird,
I can, I can, yeah, economy battle, you know, so we want to win the economy battle, and
then getting some routes together, and then we had the tech pause, and I feel like we kind
I lost some momentum, because our coaches' mic was blowing up when he started talking, so it was like broke our yearjums, but anyways, yeah, I think we may have lost some momentum, it's hard to say obviously in hindsight, but yeah.
Nick, last one I got for you underway out. Yes, I'll probably season 23. The next time we have NRG is that correct, is there anything you'd like to say on your guys' way out here?
No, we'll definitely be more practice, so hopefully you see your better version of ourselves, and yeah, thanks for your support, obviously.
Thank you, nice work.
Thank you.
I'm going to be disappointing overall, but it certainly pauses for
not sure to find there and you can hear him talking about a few of them.
Well, I think the bummer the disperming two is like he did enough to like make it feel like that was actually winnable.
There's probably a point during that series during that does too, where the vibe within the team of energy was like,
oh, we can actually, we're actually going to do this.
We're on a way to actually winning an upsetting Falcons eliminating them.
So yeah, the reversal there is shocking and obviously clear the disperming.
But not sure if someone's got a ton of experience of knows that that journey that this is just another stuff they're gonna have to take to achieve their goals
Oh look forward to seeing more of energy in the future, but who I'm looking forward to seeing now is a straw is taking on footy sports
Footy sports or feet? Yeah, they have been great. You know, you really said feet Jason. Well, what a feet it will be a feature match
We've got here. It's gonna be footy sports taking on a straw as that is our next match-up elimination on the line here in crackle again
Hi
This is basement dwellers first, advertisement.
And our second drop is, uh, it's up, actually.
You're seeing this, it's up.
It's available on the ESL shop.
Head up first, go at a jacket, and I'm really glad about it.
I've always had an interesting clothes, but, you know,
seeing behind the scenes, how the sausage is made,
it's been a lot of fun.
And if you like the clothes, tell me,
if you hate the clothes, tell me, but try them before you
slag them off, I think they're really comfy.
So yeah, that's my advert.
I'm gonna try again.
I'm gonna record another one.
It starts with a dream, with a team you barely know.
In an amateur official that feels like the grand final,
where practice becomes progress,
and every loss feels like a lesson.
When will your journey begin?
No big fight here in the road, you're doing good, bro.
Don't let it off.
Run, run, run, run, run.
They've got to follow through the need, knocking out my car'sie.
Wonderful and email, they've got 25 seconds to try and piece this one together,
and they might have found their golden ticket away out towards CT.
He just ran to B, like it's nobody's business,
And nobody's home 15 seconds wonderful if it can even get one kill it would be a shock in this position
Talked in with the 8k the no-rears fallen pre fires 3 on 1. Ema in the clutch
That smoke is a big problem
Two players there you have to make this all good decision. Do you wait for that? Do you change direction?
He's missed the jump full and see only guy facing right now. You're very strong out
It's all of this joint in case the roto has made it up on a short in time
And we'll get that to save the day. Okay, okay, so are our two kills himself kills falling still gets
That's a well and good though. They're flooding down
Emma in the clutch you know the last thing you want to do is kind of let him get the ball rolling
They were all feeling a little bit nervous with Mollidoi missing the jump on to short case
Arrata the pressure was on he had to not mess up his movement because if they're both late
You give that three-view one away
It's not a very scary situation when you put Ema in a site like that in a post-plan
able to pick his position lots of time and Furia have to get the kill instantly and
Ema buys just a couple more seconds that's his round, peeking into all three, wonderful
to his site, or just struggle to get involved on the E.T. side of Raj's spirit, but
Molotoy doesn't have to wait long to wield his either.
Ema runs right into the crosshair.
Mid lost by Narby, relying on the sighthead.
I'll be fine, it's cool it off.
The Intel Extreme Master's FRACAL when he 26 brought you by ESL partnership with Intel.
Caterpillar.
E-A-Cell.
Zow.
Kex.
And City of Brackel.
Well, a Strawl has first his foot east boys, this is a Strawl is arriving to the venue,
ready to play, getting through their game yesterday, a tough match versus a pair of vision,
but make sure they got the job done.
you there are use new kit on the block here for a show hoping you can put it in a strong performance
but this is the team that have been surprising everyone, uh, footy sports have been a team
to just be upsetting and and actually longs upsetting a few fans, you know, he's been
really extreme, he's been yelling, but he's been delivering. Yeah, but he has been, I mean,
to back up those yells and I mean, both these, both these teams have interesting spots coming
into this and puts off these to the one that we've just seen the results continue.
Yeah, better and better and improve and I think the conversation that happened around them
was the resume of some of the teams
they've beaten recently is like,
you're doing great, man, you get it up.
It actually was a Hunter who came out and said
that he feels like they're playing like a top 10 team.
Yeah, it was Hunter getting a lot of plotters.
Yeah, I mean, incredible challenge from them,
but they were really close to just getting some great wins
against some of the best teams in the world.
But the foot is sports, it's kind of crazy.
You get that two-zero of her fury.
Two-zero of her fury, they knocked out liquid,
they beat legacy as well.
Take close to what you will,
different ratings from different people.
G2 was a close loss.
had the win over phase towards the end of last year as well. So yeah, they've got enough wins
over the belt that everyone's looking at them like, huh, okay. I got to be, if you got to be
cautious. Yeah, the straws absolutely have to be cautious of this team because they defeated
teams that are better than this version of the straws already. So the straws on the line again,
this is their run. Obviously versus paying, got to win, lost energy, but whatever,
game allegiance, lost the spirit and they just about the power of vision. So, you know,
job done, there's still a lot. They're still fighting, but now they feel that difficult
I think this is a cool team, the way this is Strawlis is geared up with Huxie as the IGL.
I think he's helping Yavis start to get some of his game back from the heroic days in the heroic
stint when he was at his best. Fuxie as an opera, I think he's got a lot of positives and a lot of
upside. So I see continues to improve and get better. I think that's going to be something cool for
long-term. And I don't know how to chance to really get Huxie just gave an interview earlier at
today because I've been casting him and read it, but the headline is I have a very different view on
this line up because now I can actually think long-term. And that was a lot of what he was talking
talking about towards the end of last year on the major was just like
sounds not here that he is here and now the vice isn't here but he was here and now
he's coming back and he was just playing this like carousel of a roster and that was
getting out of eating him away and frustrating him and now that he has this we
are starting to see a straw that they've looked good the stone had some very positive
things to say about him yesterday before the loss that they took against the
strong impression with the structure that actually able to bring to the team so
quickly the other side of things for for a straw is the fact that you know they
They came out recently that they knew that the thing was dead going into that major run.
You heard Hooksey talking about in the exit interview, how he's happy with how they
performed all things considered.
But here we go.
This is Laugh's screen now, blah blah.
Okay, I was wondering what's going on.
So, let's take a shot.
Then Jason.
I'm getting it.
How's your turn?
Oh, blah blah.
But I understand the pitchers.
Yeah.
I understand the verdict is definitely hot out there.
And he's been very, very loud so far out there.
We need to get a certain doctor, in the case that measure the knowledge.
Oh, that'd be good.
Yeah.
But the lounges, I mean, look, at least he backed it up.
He had the quiet.
Yeah.
What was the series we saw here?
That first map, like a life game first map.
If you look a bit quiet on the next ones.
But it's one of the things I know it's talking, like seeing when his teammates talk about him and give interviews.
Like, her Benny gave an interview once, and he was just like, like, longses, like the emotional attitude guy.
like you need to have one of those in their team.
Everyone does it a little bit differently.
I'm sure we'll see a screen and kind of change over the
I'm analyzing streaming now.
But you know, you need a player like that who's going to
get everyone kind of rolling with the emotions of the game,
especially when things are going.
Yeah, especially when they're going to.
That's the, that's the part that is really important because
you can have all the energy to bring all that knowledge,
but when you have to apply a game where who else is going to be
there to pick them up when they're at the floor?
I think the thing that sticks out about foot to me,
the most when I've seen them play so briefly,
and I'm going to keep an eye on it today is they feel
Like a team that just plays very strong fundamentals.
Like I don't see them overextend too much.
I don't see individuals trying to too much or trying to be the hero.
Everything, every decision is within the framework of how your team
it is playing the situation, where they're located on the map.
I think they've always, I probably wouldn't have watched them and then
see them get some of these upsets.
I'm very impressed with how they are as an experienced team.
Oh, they have got Mirage coming into the series overpass,
the selection of his trawlers.
And if needed, we have Nuke as a third.
Think about Mirage as being a, it's a very strong map for food
We can't really install this for a week for them.
So I'm looking forward to seeing this.
I do think there's a 30s port going to win this.
I have a really good feeling about a Charleston overpass.
I think this series is going to take all three maps, Chase.
Yeah, that's very possible.
Two matches that foot has played on Mirage here at I.M. Crackout is a 1311 win over Fury
and a 139 win over G2, so feeling supremely confident in their Mirage.
Especially when you consider that a Stralis is when right isn't anything super exciting.
Isn't anything to be pumped about anyway?
No, no, not at all.
A 25% yeah, yeah, it's not great.
No, not great for a Shalis.
But new line up, you know, new line up, maybe it's going to be new things.
Yeah, definitely so.
So let's get into the piss around.
Shoulder way into the action we have got ourselves plenty of utilities here
if we're demon, he's applied that we've been keeping eyes on.
I had a bit of a quiet for game yesterday, so we're excited to see if he's
going to be able to get back to some solid form.
Shalis starting on the CT side, and we're ready.
You see some movement for 30 sports in the middle.
I've got control basically for free, as Stralis not wanting to challenge during the pistol
round.
Molotov to the B-bombsite showing a B hit, it's pulling the rotation, it's all a fake
though, and Lamps coming up connector.
Oh, Jogs has the opening, boost he's got it all too!
Damn, he does very well, we've got a second kill.
Look like he was tamed himself up for a third there, but that bomb plant had to be security.
Post-plat now set up with foot eastports with a 3v3.
You need a clear CT spawn, stairs gonna hold that bay, keep them funneled into the
I keep them trapped and now they're gonna push into his position. Oh, I'll stay with another headshot
Now, Demon has just a rush towards ramp
Crabenny fighting out towards the CT spawn in the meantime demons found some success putting hook see
And the only do a demon delivers at the right time
And they're all getting loud now. It's not just loud because everyone is coming across the other way
He's like guys, which shadows just throwing me could someone else start screaming with me?
Please I can't hear the only one. Yeah, we seen Duke just that I feel a little bit as well
But fantastic work coming out of foot and a nice recovery that that pissed around
Astral is I'm gonna have to eco coming in around to cool to see demon with a good impact there as well
He was someone that we've kept their eyes on every time we've seen foot play came into this event
Is they're top rated player get a really in CT side mirage and they're opening series
But other than that was it was a little bit a little bit quiet, but at least no he's got the skills
Oh, that's not what he was hoping for, getting off of the USB a second USB kill.
And a third frag into an AK-47, all of a sudden the Stroll is at the advantage.
Oh my god, Starrer is doing them dirty.
It's now Demon Avenue win a 1v3 otherwise we're about to get a eco.
And keep in mind it was a full USB round that looing their series against G2 yesterday that caused another one and it's another full USB conversion
We're all having fun with it. We're all having a good time
E code
Again
Come on
This happened
Well, a nice old try.
But as trawlers, even with USB's ever gonna talk to the wrong way.
Stair this, it's a great work there though.
Just picking up weapons off the ground, getting to go with everything.
So, e-sports now really to go in towards the A site.
I mean, needless to say,
the Zancy Ecosinity we worked on Jason quite a bit. Yeah, that's it's probably you know
They probably had a pretty big conversation after the G2 game. Yeah, round two in the next game
All right, well, there's the open kill bomb plant being put down everyone being a distraction to make sure that
Bota's money does come in and it will but from here should be all a strawless now
It's talked about some of the some who hold on opera covered for some of the trees
Let's do what he's got, peraging dades into his position, he's got to step forward,
behind him demon's teagull has to be a miracle worker and it won't be.
So the op is going to hit the jack eventually, not if but when.
Yeah, there it is, sure to wait, but at ball plank coming in for foot east points, not
able to keep this back and forth going, which actually what they had against fury at, it's
a kick off dance too.
We've seen a very back and forth nature with his force buys going back and forth, and then
that was all it's here really, one.
So we know for eSports can sometimes have scrappy beginnings of these games.
Yeah, this is a can for sure. We'll see if they can lock and at some point.
We talked about some of the positives of foot and what I've seen out of them.
I think a Strollison the game that they played just the other day against Paravision.
One thing I noticed, the CT side at Pellock puts you at a very good game plan,
a very good knowledge and understanding that he passed on to the team of how to approach
the different scenarios against Paravision.
I really like that game planning that he had for it.
So, pump the C.R. Well, the CT side can play another thing.
We gained economic advantage with that round two victory.
I'm just letting the dust settle here on Mirage.
I like Corbany a lot, actually.
Not early returns.
Yeah, after you love you know, two three games of watching these guys, I like Corbany.
Because not only is he the caller, but he also, he should be kind of skilled, individualist-speaking.
He's also like that new age of IGL that takes what would be some star positions
at different areas of counterstrike, and he sees them as like information gathering uses them
just to be a nuisance to the guy who just is very disruptive.
Like that kind of game style out here as your IGL and he's been doing it very very well.
Especially on Mirage, we'll see you in the second half, and he's on CT.
Yeah, now that the question I have about and I'm ingimulated like that is,
would he be able to go to a team full stars and make a work or does he need kind of
of a more balanced team around it.
That's part of the evolution I think of being an IGL is, you know, at this stage in your career.
You're not playing with those, you know, hardcore, super star players.
You can handle a lot who have the ego who want the things that they want.
So, you ever had to learn that skill, so yeah, that's something you can adapt.
But yeah, I mean, that's a good question because we see struggles with it, right?
Like that was the kind of the conversation between shooting.
Sershion, you're going to be playing the playmaking position.
The not showing in team look.
You know, the same kind of a conversation there.
There, so yeah some some players, you know, but into it a little bit more, but I think you know
Some of the leaders of shone can be a great benefit as well apex is another IGL map
Well, I'm sure Crabetti is going to get you know, these results keep out of trees going to get some red offers
Or the end of the year, I mean it's not you know being in jimmy there is well hottest cross
Okay, all right now if you're a long jambity
He's dying attempt at least some two teeth. He's gonna be stopped loud. Okay, a flurry of fries inside a middle
That's three quick ones and demon also getting a bolt elsewhere in the batter. It's why you luck alone now, and he's gonna fall to louse
So no, it's not always no screams. Just that was easy. We're turning a new leaf. You know, yeah, new louse. The new louse
I was just a little bit too easy for him. Maybe it didn't want to scream
out of it at least.
Yeah, middle of the map, and I mean, that's just a straw
trying to execute a corruption, just getting beat.
Well, done from long salt in this position.
To the three next gun run underway,
off in the hands of Cemetery,
staying with Fuzi, and this time,
Fuzi, not going to commit to taking control of this top mid-boxes,
not until the Molotov case.
Yeah, that's wrong. Let's take a ton of damage early.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah, hooks these eggs toned out of 20 HP stairs at 36.
Yeah, he's at 56.
So everyone's taking this damage and just like,
very slightly backed off their position,
which now opens up the map so much for foot.
So really good advantage found around the minute and ten second mark for this offense.
And committing into this deep onside play.
Nobody even aware of all those.
It's just killing everything really wherever he goes to every desire.
It's finally put in the ground by the abby, but then he just has layers of teammates that come in on the follow-up.
And it's all that early damage ends up in a resounding defeat and we have to see them go and save the other two.
Yeah, that's very comprehensive, but I mean, I think when you, when you, if you pause that, that kind of mini-map at a minute and ten seconds,
then you just look at where everyone's placed on the map. It's like, if it has every single pressure point,
every single piece of leverage.
At force hooks you on the defense away from van
to the back of the bomb site.
Had gotten up short, none of the defense was anywhere
nearby to have information to have any kind of harassed
their slowdown and just clean lanes for foot and curb any.
As they tie things up at three.
Now he's up.
Sure is.
Move his my life.
You know, respectful to his own teammates.
Move to his mic, though.
You have to appreciate it.
It's not as cold.
This one by Astrala, 60 once a few words.
A couple saved rifles, a pair of M4's.
money's not in the happy place. You could see with 4,000 yabby and hooks he can both buy up.
Thruze would be limited. All a steric can drop him as well. So I mean they should have a 5M4
buy here. A chance to fight back into things. How much emphasis do they put in the op? On resources?
Do they want to wait one out? Still early on in the half?
The middle of the map is starting to hurt you at the long so what quad kill round now
you have you have foot gaining control of middle doing tons of damage and using that
is a launching ground to split the B bomb site from short as well.
I think it's strong as the conversation during that time out is like okay we have these
two and fours to save some weapons let's get some money back let's get some nades back
maybe get the open fuzzi's hands and let's start talking about how we can delay and slow
down mid and put a stop to this.
and
score line. Yeah, smart read of the round for Corbany. Just to tell everyone to be way, way, way more passive than we've seen from in this half. Everyone wait. Everyone she'll probably tell the mid at mark. Just hold your angles. Hold your spots. Make sure nobody pushes in. We'll see where the dust lies. Why is it a five on three at the moment? And foot is still spread across the map. So they're going to be happy to slow play this round. Give a chance for jokes to go searching.
He's found his kill.
Go out again and find another one.
Flall is there far, not a point of damage taken.
Building money, looking comfortable.
I mean, it's probably what I see from the mirage.
That's against Degels and not USB so it makes complete sense.
Yeah, true.
If it was USB, you'd have to look in at a 4-3-4-1 in favor of the straw list.
Yeah, there's USBs that'll be a lot more difficult.
So yeah, he's going to keep this deal chill and mostly concerned about having the armor
and the cheap upgrade.
You can get in the next round, but might be trying to hunt him thinking maybe he has
a weapon from previously, now they spotted him out over towards short.
Still no damage being taken by the foothream and it will not at the end of the day.
Wallace victory, all players with a hundred HP and a one-round lead.
Didn't talk to the bar, Huxie.
I'll show you what they say, but...
But we know it's about Huxie.
There's like two games going on right now.
This counter-shark game, and there's the Trash Talk game.
Yeah, they cost the way to reach out.
I still think Huxie's up a point though.
Yeah, that was a...
He actually had a line of Trash Talk.
But that was the way, yeah.
I think you can probably hear the line, but...
Oh, no, this is enjoyable. They heard it, they were laughing.
A aggressive stance from Fuzzi's off.
Drop them for down into the underpass, the AWP playing on top of it in tandem.
But with the timing with nobody appearing, they're going to give it up because A is being attacked. Full execute set piece.
He's...
Right you?
From the sandwich, tries to pull it up to Palace.
Well, but that's going to be Fuzzi's job.
Great trade over the top of the smoke.
Into Palace on Jugs.
So, 40-2 is strong.
It's off the back of the early engagements.
Keep extending and pulling them.
Just having hooksy work together.
And that is a big old shutdown.
Look at that.
Is that you?
Silence.
Yeah.
Haha.
Well, completely destroyed. No no success on the initial thrust in that attack into the A-bombsites.
It didn't open up any avenues for a cabani on the plank.
That killed through the smoke from Fuzzi. You could see once this teammates are going down,
Crabani has to make the play earlier than he probably would have wanted to.
It's all good that plenty of cash and they still got more money behind this fly.
So 1847s are back out. They want to be aggressive, Nate streaming in towards cons,
so Fuzzi took himself into the corner.
But maintain position for the moment.
a straw still want to give up middle without any kind of a fight.
Slow walk up through Catwalk, you don't have for any.
Ready to have a pretty powerful position.
You need to take the fight and make it even better as he wins it against Stair.
That opens up a lot of pressure now on this people on site as Hoek see it's having to sort of backtrek
He's looking for his ice-skitter dangle towards the window and he gets the fight
He's looking for he just can't actually fight in it because dude should deny a way to him and rip so many defenses
So for a stroll is you haven't done much money here. So back the way save that food's YWP
Whether or not that's gonna be allowed as a whole other question because louks has now come in over on that hunt quite quickly
Yeah, he called it out there's teammates here the footsteps of the opera running away
So we stand there already on the save. I've already start moving. You can see the dots on the mini map, but
Could call from a strawless. They've got themselves tucked into its palace. They're really strong
Position to hold against any kind of a hunt
So we should see them get out of here with these three rifles including the off. There's money for rebuy
I'm an extra on for a straw. So they get to come right back in
But still foot doing very very well
Corbany was able to see that flash coming over to a short short turn from it in time and stare couldn't get anything done
Locks on the hunt for this op, no repeat from Fuzzi wisely, just leave Yabi out in the open there it is new angle, drops the AK 47 but it's all good, 5-4 in the favor of foot.
This is another thing about this foot team too, it's a pretty solid roster all the way down top to bottom, all five players contribute.
It was really, really like an obvious weakling that you would just upgrade if you could.
It's just a solid team across the board and it has been a priority for them quite often.
In terms of their tatwalk takes have been really solid.
Prebenny is always involved to knows and I see the reaction from Astralis' suppression going into ramp.
Yeah, this will be a picture on the A-bombsite, but the X-factor is if Rywen Yabbie can get some safety at ramp.
Unfortunately, stairs rotated away, so they're going to turn the corner back, turn.
Not the easiest kill, but I mean, there's no chance it was ever going to respond to the bomb.
Yadies know it about, okay?
Nice timing hit, nice split, and Corbinis just got a straw on a string.
I like this calling.
Are you actually going to go for this?
Fuzzi still waiting around with the opposite of the FZF.
The info would create the chance, but I think they've just got it back away.
And the artist's looking away.
They're just towing where they're now six rounds on the T side.
I mean, just to look at the change of the point of the attack,
attacking the same bombsite from a different direction.
So you're going to get a little bit of misdirection.
You're getting past changes.
You're getting both bomb sites,
they're being utilized in pressure.
You're able to take mid whenever you want.
Corvinny's actually, I mean, do this.
He's set this half up so well from a strategic point of view.
He's got the tonic bit about himself.
Rounds like this are the payoff, where it's just like,
yep, this tactic worked perfectly.
Exactly as we designed it.
We're going to keep it up.
I mean, we're going to highlight a coming to this game.
The garage is likely to be a strong map for food.
Nice little home map for food.
It's a very weak map for us.
It works out in their favor as the opening map.
So I think in this context, you've got to really look at it as a view of free.
Overpass new because the other map is available.
See how much of a fly-a-shaw's can put up on this first map of the alliance.
Hey, you're so easy boys, wouldn't you?
And go ready.
He just draws you straight and down into middle and staring at our first ride with an important trade.
Yeah, but this doesn't matter.
The play is all towards the hip-hop side.
It's already been overrun.
Trevany.1 for 1 is exactly what he wanted.
And the fact is, if you make this to survive and fall all the way back, that might have been too much.
That might have been an over-extension out of juice.
Well, let's say we comes back to bite them, right?
With that fall, we're already planted at 3-4.
Strawls do have the player advantage coming into the retake.
to get there into the weight part of the round. There's only a lot of lurking else.
And that jump from symmetry is actually able to pull this right back into the 3v3.
So it's all as deploying their smokes into the sights, covering that site in a cloud cover.
And demons just get away. Here's that tap on the dfuse.
Who's actually taking sandwichary down? And they're all worried about that dfuse happening.
But it's not the kills do come in. And now the dfuse will happen.
in.
Chaotic inside of those smokes, instead of that post plant, those straws come out on top of
it.
So they have that route Jason.
They kind of just give it right back over it.
Yeah, I mean, we talk about all the time in morage.
It's like the strengthen weakness of those A hits.
You get in as we saw so emphatically so quickly, so nominally and you get good positions.
But you've used all your utility to get in.
So in the retake, the CT's actually have hit that smoke down on the bomb.
Mollots off down were an offer would like to play.
Plants not for the offer as well.
So he's got to over extend again,
balled in the action.
Well crafted, Riteg from a Stralis
to pull it out of the bag.
And keep things close within one.
We're getting up to charge into the bomb site.
It looks like a winning down in the middle of the beat.
He's got that first take, demon able to respond.
Quite swiftly.
Looks like he just still won't be moved.
The next move, and doesn't come to him
So he goes and he takes that peak while they're distracted and he hooks it and very well.
So finally cleared out by demon.
The Rhin wants another one into what's more good.
Yeah, and it's getting up to plant a bomb.
Senator, he's pretty committed with his AWP just to help secure the bomb site.
I'm surprised he took him to the starting point to get the plant.
They didn't realize what he was still alive.
So never cured him out.
Now it's a good shot with the off and we have a 2-1-3.
But that flank is coming in hot and that's there.
Yeah, the flank is the winning piece here if he can make it happen.
Stere, trying to come out of the balcony, he can't really.
He's found the perfect angle now.
So much you're getting caught as short enough demon he's in a tough spot. He's gonna deal with a fight through market and through the apartments
And so he places himself in start of the smoke coping and he can maneuver his way to safety and isolate the fight. He does a decent job
Unfortunately, it's paying the grenade. It won't meet its mark. So it will be a sick throuse that you're up for a straw as a tight game here on the rods
They're putting up some real resistance to footies points
Well, all tied up here on the garage and it's a little bit ancient game.
That's a pretty odd guy.
I knew it was all on stuff, but it was so good.
That was twice.
Yeah, I think it'd be great to see in our back of course.
To hook see in the full guys, but also to back of course.
It's on the silver team.
Yeah, I think strategically very, very cool opening half for both teams.
Really like the calling out of your Benny and foot.
I thought there was a lot of fun, but we do have to say for how much of a favorite foot feels on this map with it
It's kind of being their home selection and the win right on it and the straw is I mean new lineup
But you know even before that wasn't exactly great on Mirage
It feels like the straws didn't enough to stay in this and in in terms of how impressive they have not getting wiped out of this map in the first half
Even it's gonna drop the molly, but he's got no support close by so he's on his own for a while
Yeah, those jubarotists go rattling in hoaxe
We'll clear our demon all the defense. It is a Stralis just charging in great open of sort of hooks
See and that's the V-bulb side grab. Yeah, and you're not retaking this one
So we're gonna line up. Gravany goes underneath
Chewx plays the murderhole towards market. I
I mean, I don't know I guess you go for exits and see if you can get your smucks or cash for the second round, but yeah, nice pistol from a Stralis
I can't complain about that whatsoever, Crabati.
To hope he gets this exit, all of them trying to walk back out of the apartments, but
missed opportunity there.
They didn't win the pistol in the first half of the stop, they didn't convert the
second round up from losing the pistol.
Well, I mean, it was more impressive on us if you want to hold on to us, please.
Yeah, it's true.
Well, I mean, yeah, and I mean, you just kind of should still get the benefit of
one of the pistol in that similar kind of a way.
So I'm going to go off seven to six for a straw, let's go take the advantage into the
opening rounds of this second half.
This bumps from Huxie. Nice and simple on the pistol opening kills provided by the captain.
Double kill as the enters in and wraps around to clear out the defense.
Great stuff here, so the exit kills as you can see, foot just try to get up a little bit of extra money
at the end of the day for the next round by triple kill from Jürg's as dulyse.
They've got a Femassad on Lungs and an M4 on Demon.
demon fully invested in this second round.
In a triple beast story. It's the right call.
Demon. Okay. Now, yep. He's really making out one and four really seeing the death
song from demon. And he's going back up to the apartment to finish off his work.
Fuzzi wedding here all of his teammates go on and a great response from Fuzzi
Sports so both teams threw the trading out these first couple of rounds in the half
Yeah, this is a great response. I don't think it's all as expected to be the M4s on the board
Maybe they did but I mean demons were able to hold the line at a range at a distance
It feels like they just kind of swung in for it
I mean that him for just puts a stop to any hit that was gonna come in
Fuzzi has this isolated one-key one dual trying to catch it on the retreat and now he's gonna swing into
way more players than he wants to deal with for many shots and down.
I like that.
It's the way they've almost meamed it as a meme and do existence.
Yeah, they're just they were kind of embracing it all.
Oh, jeep and dead for the last amount though, didn't he?
Yeah.
Hold them online.
Well, Australia's wants to response here.
Geagles and a scout.
Now, Fuzzi's gonna take a shot, dodges the flashbang, slows him down just a little bit,
so no turn at the corner.
There's a wrench in things, right?
If you're a strawless in this kind of a map, you're going up on the favorites of foot,
you want to get that momentum, you want to be able to exploit the economy for the first
four or five rounds before the CT side really builds up that losing bonus.
That going away makes this a lot of weight falls on Hooke's shoulders to call an excellent
half now, but you don't have the benefit of scraping some rounds together with a better economy.
Well, rye you. You can do a lot of damage stunts and woods and straight away here.
Take them foosy. I'll be 31 health left on symmetry.
It's a good find early on, yeah, I mean, it almost feels like it's almost made foot nervous to a certain extent. It's almost like they're given a lot of respect to the deagles into that scout, especially now that the tag is landed on cemetery.
So, bonded one more going to rotate back of three players at a ramp. You have two players in the other side of the map over and be halls that's staring right you. They're going to start coming back now, but I almost think that if you're a Stralis with 30 seconds of the clock, you got to start making this hit happen a little bit earlier before your teammates are entirely
here.
25 seconds still a lean towards the B bomb set for the defense, but they will
hustle back as long as Juts and Krabenny don't go down without any resistance whatsoever
they should be fine.
Moving away in his true tank, Krabenny both with kills, and everybody from Krabenny in the
Mark looks he trying to steal a bomb plant but that is denied by a wall banged shirt through the bottom of triple
Yeah dominant I mean just just patiently waiting for that hits a come in nicely done
I think that's because back what I was saying they don't think over the over the 10 is not too many
You know crazy critical errors out of this team and
Happy to display a standard ground against against pistols. They don't have a whole lot of utility 8 to 7
What did I build in anything crazy yet for foot, but they'll have the op-out whenever
they want it moving forward.
Also, it's a great round to build somebody as well, right at the point of the against
galox, just don't drop the player here.
He's here, set the time when it comes to footies, boys, though.
So, we take like someone like a little time out in a way for hooksy, could have a
little chit chat.
I think this is Strauss-Roster conducing some cool things.
I think a lot of the weight is kind of on the development of guys like Fuzzi and some
on the Krayou.
You're quite obviously as Raiou is coming in as the least experience player on the roster.
Looking to unlock and unleash that potential onto the world and I think those two guys
have they if they develop in the way that Strauss would like them to, there's some cool
dangerous pieces on this team.
I like Yavi a lot.
They're obviously as strong as what his work is and what he can do.
Looks like he has an IGL.
One of the biggest tournaments that we've gotten counterstriped.
So there's some interesting pieces here.
We just need the strength to kind of show up and develop.
Now, well, expected result out of that previous round to be a very comfortable victory
for Flutey's sports now again to the prize on Sua Hooksyscooked app.
Corbany fell, so passes the rifle over to him in some Olympics up the eight of the youth
teams, and has got that in play now, nothing on the T-side for a strolls to counter it
with.
Roger, if utility in middle to start things out,
Lounge says swung out of a consmo,
if he's going to push.
Demit.
Waiting for them, and it's going to be Huxie and Yabby
to come out charging two quick head shots
on Lounge's and Demit.
And on 4v3, for a stroll,
let's go put that ball in the middle of the site,
and okay, for betting,
to come through and deny that ball and play.
Keeps the pressure,
Rott does Huxie, they'll rise up through short.
He wants to get the ball,
take a lot of damage but you'll still make his way into the site and commit to the plant.
Yeah, unfortunately it's cemetery who has all the damaging utilities so couldn't put it into
kill the plants or shelter's gonna make his plane. Now a foot hold out towards the trash bin.
Oh, Jews at range could work coming back in from market. It is foosy god.
You have to ask about livestock, jokes, green. Great work and then cemetery also finding
six nice. So that was just a thought a little bit too easy. Hard just having so quick.
Yeah, well, I mean the timing of when all those fights come out is like every fire from a
the straws is reacting to the other fight that they're,
but the fight away from what they're looking for.
And as soon as they turn their backs,
it's that player pounces,
it's a brutal way for that round to go,
where it feels like a straw,
let's just got unlucky in each and every fight,
but it's now a three round lead.
Plant helps,
losing bonus building helps,
but you're not at a place where you can pop out
a great kind of a buy, so,
man, I've all the advantages to close this map out now.
Red carpet's laid out.
the
second time off for a show all that's really trying to figure this out they know they got
at least one good chance left and then to try and get this going again but
yeah I want to think what's next about that for a strawless hard thing is they got what you
wanted out of that tactic you know the fast plate towards the thief on site went one
for one with demon you actually get in that convincing yeah you're feeling like you
should be closing that on out as an ideal you're like well what I call got us to the
point where we can win the round I can't I can't call us a win in a postland right
That comes down to the players individually.
It's a little bit of frustrating that one slips away.
I think I should queue into the A-ball.
It's not here for push-sholuses to call,
so throw three smokes out utility and then just run in B.
So, Demon a lot of pressure is on his shoulders and he's got pistol scuff at his way.
Oh, latches up. Demon's still able to recover in time and then gets back to that kill as well.
I look like he's only going to get one, but Demon's somehow gets away over the extra kill.
Yeah, stand cool, common proletters. He's here in the Twitch steps wrap around the nice double.
That's a couple times though. I think Cuckee's really wanted to establish.
I think it's the next level, like kind of paint point of losing that previous round.
And now this one, not getting as much as you'd like is, I think Cuckee like realizes
and maybe kind of trend that Demon starts to be bombsite alone a couple of times.
So when you're not able to capitalize on it when you call for it and get the exact situation you want,
that's it. It's a bummer. So I don't know. I don't know if he'll go back to it now.
That'd be a lot around in a road towards the B-bombsite as you mentioned.
You don't have a whole lot more to play with.
You can't risk the rest of this half in this map on another call towards the B-bombsite.
Two players headed towards Middle First Stralis.
Hooks the Infuzi.
Rahul and Stair up in the B-bombs, going to come down the stairs to join up in Middle
for control.
Some of the trees got the opener, and that's fuzzy out of that, opening kill, in favor
of footy sports, and what has to be, that moment where a straw has turned this around.
Different style of game is well from foot in the CT side.
We haven't seen Kirby be as much of a nuisance in middle, hasn't been as proactive
pushing up, hasn't been taken as peaks around the, around the consmo, could spend
lots, mostly plan there, they both in plan it relatively passive compared to what we saw
the other day.
Oh, quiet for now.
In terms of the fight department, law utility being used up in middle, yabby waiting in
palace, which is time to strike.
Keep it's actually over here on the A bomb side this time hanging out towards close
And he's still fighting in successive courses all across the server, just causing havoc here for a straw is
Wow, he's getting involved as well because stairs distracted by other fights as soon as that smoke fades away
stairs given a really difficult
Challenger of longs looking right at him. So hooks in Ryu
29 seconds left to really have nowhere to go
They're just gonna walk to the death smoke slightly here. It locks in Krabadi taking the two kills
And it's a clean round tier before these ports. Yeah, not this map is not quite yet in the straws
This is wheelhouse, and the CT side is a foot is really showing that off.
The Stralis can't find anything, the pistol round was theirs, lost the second round,
and it's been all foot ever since then.
Six rounds in a row to get up to 12-7.
This is an elimination series if you're just joining us.
Losers going to go home, winter moves on to continue in this lower bracket.
next map would be overpass the Stralis's map pick to take us to and I bet they can't wait to get there
you might want a little bit more time on the cross server here with the comeback but absolutely like overpass is going to be just
a completely different story for a straws in terms of the level of comfort we actually got to see that versus power vision I was in
pressure overpass the other overpass was very very nice especially that CT side map yeah but it's looking so good over there
over there.
You know, folks gonna go, well, we'll talk about that in maps.
We'll save some of the gold for overpass.
Okay, so we got a foot column for something.
I'd rather a strong skill for something simple.
So, they head over towards the A site.
It would be a full commitment to through palaces for that.
You got some weaknesses in terms of weapons.
Hopefully, the mal-pimentality will excel.
That's all going to be about the initial contact.
The initial flight provided by a lot of some jokes that the speedy fan
or the Z-Defense excuse me.
Yeah, well, just going here on default, they're flooding out.
He's completely blinded.
So Ryan was able to get something to tell me.
Then Lounge just swipes away too.
Right away with the H847.
Fuzi.
Yeah, he's keeping the fight going.
But it's all I'm Fuzi now.
Hoping if he can somehow win this clutch to keep the straw as in it.
He's got plenty of time.
He got the ball that is back and he's out of that.
He's going to be chilling.
Probably going to use a lot of this clock as well.
Going to reposition over towards Palace.
Once to at least burn a few enough seconds for foot to have to respect the B
bombsite and the middle of the map.
so they would change their positions to protect against that.
I'm sure you're already kind of considering
that Fuzzi's doing something's key defense.
Thought it now, but it's too late.
Can't stop that shot.
It's even false.
And now the entire map opens up
and advantage moves to Fuzzi.
Yeah, Fuzzi to clutch up and keep Australia's going
here on Mirage for at least a little bit longer.
He's gonna go over to Western ramp.
San Francisco's all the way back at Jungle.
He's got that long cross.
If San Francisco doesn't move off,
I actually has the line up.
As long as it's in second guess is in tuition.
Yeah, exactly how long does he hold it?
So, it's really looking to close the map,
and that takes exactly what he'll do.
A yell from food, he sports his garage continues
to be their home throughout.
It takes your win versus as strong as they now move into
the second map with blood over past.
They're one map up looking to survive here in Crackle.
I love watching this team that I love seeing them continue
to get map wins, continuing to get series wins
continue their play here, because it feels like
every single time they're a little bit more confident
and looking at the bring into the table.
above the story of this team having opportunities to break up in the
offseason is this time to stick it out together based off the two years they
played with each other. Now they're getting to return. That's that occasion
really really cool and awesome counter shot great calling in the tea side from
preventing. And you can't get a call circles around the team that doesn't have
as much experience on the map as you obviously. But I mean still
made it look great. You know you did made it look great and that was what the
six six half way took to take things off. But I'm looking forward to
overpass as I was saying coming into the series it does feel like we're
We're gonna go to three.
I'm proud to interest in C1 level,
for you're gonna be able to bring through a shot.
Unlike what I've seen, all to overpass in them,
and I'm sure it's all still feel confident
in overpass in this series.
So not a slouch map whatsoever for foot.
So they got some game on it,
and I think, you know, one thing that's gonna be different
is we can touch on overpass.
It's coming up next.
So it's gonna be a little bit more aggressive
than I imagine, Paravision would have been.
You gotta be a little bit more challenging
you early on and seeing what kind of defense
so I think a straw is gonna have to have a different style
than what they brought out against Paravision yesterday.
We'll look forward to getting that.
That is going to be the map that is coming up overpass,
the straws, the chance to bounce back.
If they don't, if they don't get overpassed
of the belt, as trawlers will be knocked out here
in crack off and that won't be the start of the 26th.
That they were hoping for.
Fuck, continue to be surprising.
Will they pull off another 2-0?
Hi, this is Basement Roller's first advertisement, and our second drop is it's up actually.
If you're seeing this, it's up.
It's available on the ESO shop.
It had a first go at a jacket and I'm really proud of it.
I've always had an interesting clothes, but you know, seeing the fin,
the scenes have a sausage, it's made a lot of fun.
to close, tell me if you hate the close, tell me, but try them before you slag them off.
I think they're really comfy. So yeah, that's my advert. I'm gonna try again. I'm gonna record another one.
I can see you're stuck in the gun.
You can have a little face that never killed nobody,
what you waiting for.
But chain goes above the stand,
feels like it's just getting tired.
You can have a little fight yet, never kill nobody but you ain't for it
We're getting closer by the start, feels like it's just getting started.
So it has been one of the revelations here at I am Crackup and I'm with Jugs after maybe a moment
arily momentary setback after the loss versus G2 yesterday. How did you guys take that and what do you think went wrong?
I don't know like for example in Dust 2 they just played better than us and we just took it as a loss and
Yeah, we, just the next end, very long to show our best of day again.
We love looking at your journey. It's been amazing. Can you tell me a little bit of how the experience has been and how from every game you're able to probably take things and learn new things?
I mean, I don't know. We're just watching our demos, watching how we played. Our coach is helping us a lot and yeah, we're just learning from every game you're playing in this tournament.
Is there anything you learned about yourself that you have to work on or that you're really, really good at?
Yeah, of course, like I'm playing against one of the best, like in my roles, one of the best
players in the world, so yeah, I'm watching how they're countering me, how they're playing against me and how playing against them.
What about the energy? Because I love watching your booth when you guys are playing. I don't think it's here.
I think it's long. That's screaming a lot, right?
Yeah, yeah, like, I mean, we like to scream both of us, like we like to cheer our teammates up.
We like to get into our opponents' head and yeah.
Okay, I was talking to Jale yesterday and he was watching and he was like,
let's go, Jale, because it's nice, that's nice that he's here in the house,
and obviously, you know, showing something for your Lithuania people at home.
Yeah, it's of course nice, because we're, all the way to people in color
shine from the famous, oh, it's really nice.
Okay, well good luck today.
Thank you.
I'm going to put it in my center of it, but it always had a high bit of ice, and you can
You need 3-4 attack mode.
I'll save you, Jack.
Why should I have the same order?
More side.
I have to.
All right, someone tried this before.
Well, how about the day, Richard?
Why are you attention now?
No, no, no.
That could have been your self-protection.
Could you please take out a bystander?
out of bystander?
I'm not going to die.
For one reason.
But it doesn't.
And the fact that these bullets are reserved for him.
Nice. Okay, I'm sold.
You see, Ross Miss?
I want him to tire the distance downwards.
The joke is literally anyone else.
This is a shot.
And this is a shot.
Do you get them in the police?
No.
Do you remember this?
Not even against the court.
Do you really haven't seen the trailer yet?
Do you believe me?
I don't believe me.
I don't believe you.
Do you have to go into the court?
I don't believe every single fight until they lose their skin.
Do you believe that the police are suspicious of the court?
Oh, dude, I'm gonna be seeing a threat.
The castus will...
That's where you're like...
Where's the trade?
We're still close with you.
Where's the beast?
We're still close with you.
I'm gonna warn you.
I'll stop you.
You can't do this without me.
The guard...
I don't want you to be the best.
I never knew you'd walk...
...to test me last time.
Oh, you got tried to clutch the wall, but if you let the fans really see that big brain of yours.
I'm gonna be the one who's gonna die.
I'm gonna die.
Don't interrupt.
It's nothing major.
Welcome back to the Intel Extreme Masters. We have got a elimination on the line. And right now,
I'll install this one map away from being knocked out of crack off. We got to get that
Huxy-clutch giga jack going on here, Jason, if we got to see the Charles come back into it
Luckily, overpass is the map coming up.
It's all this selection.
We've seen them look good on it so far.
So there is a world in which they're able to cool this back.
Yeah, I handle pair of vision on this map,
and they're in their first series of stage two here in Crackaw.
So yeah, we know they can have some good ideas.
I just mentioned towards the tail end of that first map.
I really like the way hooks you have the team prepared
and the game plan that he instituted for that game against
pair of vision.
I think this game is going to be vastly different
to help pair of vision play that.
That happens a lot of times.
So I don't think it's going to be able to be as cut and dry.
I think there's going to be a lot more chaos,
a little bit more like we're all in nature to this.
A few more kills there.
I have to put where the mid-round
is going to be a little bit more active
than what they had against pair of vision.
So new challenges, and honestly,
foot is once again just some process
and just shown a really good level.
I think we're getting to a point now with this team.
I know it's still kind of like early on where they've popped off.
We have to see if we have to see
what the teams are going to react to foot.
I think this is the event that's going to put them on the map.
And what are they going to do now
that teams come into every event, every match against them,
preparing for them, expecting them,
not underestimating them.
Exactly, well we'll have to wait and see that comes into future, but see they can stay a lot a little bit longer here in crackle
They move on to overpass as you mentioned not a amount their slouches on either
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of level they're gonna bring to the server here
Let me if utility coming to this piss around for logs and jukes saying for hoaxy instead
Very calm on the pistol from a straw us
This is going to walk in forward.
You have a rye with the PT50 as you mentioned, just leading the way, just peeking up into the
aid bomb site.
He's over up to Viter towards that aid bomb site.
And the straws is happy to give him plenty of time to see if he can find a fight.
equipment though, look at the bomb way far back still by playgrounds.
Yeah, Boosie's just poking and broadening, saving and getting a fight to go as
way early.
And applying it, applying it, getting my pressure as well.
Look at the way the defense is shifted.
At the B-bombsite, they've backed all the way off the play towards
graffiti.
Three players have positioned themselves at the A-bombsite.
So Stralis have successfully worked this defense out of the B-bombsite.
They want to attack.
Now they're setting up for the take of that B-bombsite.
Smoke or start to fade it short.
And then the straws that throw their own utility in, but there's only 20 seconds left to make this work.
So, no margin for error really. You have to be very successful upon the entry.
That definitely does help Fuzzi and Ryu getting to go on these P250s.
Well, I eventually going down and here come the rest of Fuzzi's boys try to pull this
walk back, prepare to get involved as well. And a 4v3, it still failed with his straws
and all the further kills coming in their favorite too. So this is not going to end up being
around when a 4 foot. A straws win the pistol to kick off the key side of overpass.
off the key side of overpass.
Yeah, nice job.
And put just bit way too hard.
That initial probe towards the bombsite.
Just that one glimpse of rye, you made them very, very nervous.
Everyone gets pulled out of position.
You could see how much room on the map on the way to the bomb site.
The Strauss had to work with that just wasn't being harassed.
No, no pull.
It's kind of whizzing in their direction.
No even cheap shots from this U.S.
P's is keeping grab a headshot.
So, Strauss could take that advantage.
Macten on Yabby.
Three glills in an AK-47 full investment
from foot into the second round as well.
Scout on the heads of cemetery other than that upgraded pistols.
It's going to be very quick and direct towards this people.
I'm sorry for my shawl is just leading the charges.
Yeah, be on the back tank.
Keep an example.
Look at a charge into the defensive players.
No success, though.
I'm sorry for that five seven.
I've just put a stop to the ashral attack for the time being.
It's throw a spanner to the works and a shawl has come to a grinding halt
towards this people.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, you got it.
This is the point in the round though.
to put no people waiting. She killed for these pistols. You can't afford it. Don't give away anything through that smoke.
Stair is going to drive flex a little bit. We're going to on the back wall. That's a
digo shot from Crabani from downtown and a 1v3 for Fuzzi. It's just like Mirage. You can't confront the
Pistar on victory. Neither of these sides can't go through it and so far in this series. It has
good e-sports answering back. Honestly, that look good for a strong initial play forward. They created
the space. They got the initial kill. Then the average wasn't able to take them down towards
was the back of the site when they were a little bit further away for that back
tad.
It's just the number or the number of players there from foot around the utility
route.
Look at these kills long skits.
Well, this is the deeple shop.
The lounges is playing around smokes.
Like there's so much chaos blocking vision blocking his pathway to step into fights.
That's just a really nice playmate.
And he was the one who got them started back on Mirage as well.
He got them on the good foot.
Good foot.
He would try to find a different one.
Just embrace it, just embrace your love of these days.
So usually do that life is just going to cover a little bit easier.
So be a shame.
Exactly.
Love yourself and feet.
All right, we've got a Scout Alpha Fuzi.
Three Geagles and a Glock.
Lockerarms of Sock.
I know that kid's going to do it.
It's all I was thinking about.
Oh, I was just taking the time hanging out.
Yeah.
No, it's a little bit of utility if you can.
See if anyone's pushed up.
They're just looking for a little bit of a foothold.
They have some utility to execute into the bomb sites.
They're just waiting for the bomb.
You didn't mean that, did you?
No, I did.
I hated so much.
Yeah, that's a little ridiculous.
Yes, it's looking for a foothold.
The day of a team that realizes the words you use,
you use. It's like big, it really, it really, it's casting big always makes you realize how limited
deal for a cat. It really is. To describe objects in this. I think precise. Yes. You're not used to it,
you see. 35 seconds. Well, struck. Yeah. Lots of not a lot of time left here in the room for a
strawless as they get ever closer to the ace side. We've got jugs around the back. I like that he's not
not make it as play yet. If you want to action to begin.
Nice and easy that. Once it goes to change the real just melting in a way.
And then we got a riot getting involved with a deagle of his own.
So, we're just a little bit of impact. Nine seconds left.
Really right in the clock is long as possible here before they just fall for a bomb plant.
This tonight as well as the number of sea luts or whatever.
That's what kills that.
From a strawless.
Yeah, not too shabby. They do get into the bomb site, but foot collapses on them there.
So, next round coming in to the one that I see a big save and I mean now you have a real chance if you're foot this is where you get a girl the economy this is where you're going to focus on preserving life and just having a clean round where you're going to go into the first downing with plenty of money behind you.
I wanted to sum up the things you liked from the Shalas and overpass yesterday.
I like the way I mean I like the way they were kind of I mean a lot of it was on the CT side
Like they were like happy to let you know Paravish and just kind of work the map and play follow back
You know they threw a couple like aggressive pushes in the mid rounded into the mix to get some information
But more than anything they were like you guys will play blinds because you guys are just gonna burn the clock and execute and we'll hold on to all of our utility
And make those executes offward if anything though the T side was a little bit worrying
Because we had, you know, that come back from power vision right down to the final round of regulation.
The only reason that didn't go in the overtime was Ryuu Hath.
Yeah, that's right.
All wire round.
Uh, when we reached that top one, we went through faster, so, you know, that doesn't happen.
You probably have to go into OT and it's all like power vision could be rounded out over past that.
So, the two side we definitely are weakness for Australia, and it's a worrying start.
Well, wait until we get into the coming rounds again before we continue that conversation.
But it's certainly something to be aware of.
Wearing start the set there to call themselves out of a hole and don't get a kind of build upon the pistol round, but that's that's a nice round right there to help you kind of start getting over the hump and getting back into things
What three kills in a round you don't invest a whole lot into you get to the bomb site yet again with some frags. So limiting some money and now instead of you know
We've mentioned the goal being preserving economy. It's it's got the opposite direction. Lounx is only as 500 left in the bad and four players less than a thousand so
Stras is a good job of limiting repies, but they need a win here to capitalize on that
It's very quick here for a straw skating towards water.
You've got foosy running on the air to be painted.
Even through the smoke, very aggressive for an all-per-peer
was applied here from foosy.
And the rest of his team is trying to get out of monster.
Let's go to the one of the aggressive monster as well.
So that all-pangle from foosy helps protect this push-out monster.
But all the counter-utility is straw.
So actually, we don't want to mention it.
We don't want to mess with that.
And we're actually kind of happy that we just forced out all those counter-nades.
So now the question that foos us to ask themselves,
is how do we want to figure this out?
is this situation where Strauss sees all that counter utility flat
and they just re-exact because now we don't have the flashbangs,
we don't have all the malls, tops to put in their way.
They're gonna readjust on the map,
do you wanna go find information?
Instead, put the sides to just keep four players stacked here.
Summetry would be off open heaven.
I wonder if I'll hit on this clock now.
Time to kick it on and.
Summetry, then I'll show it, flex out into a jabby.
Raiu to respond himself, and a 4v4 is Raiu is showing up to the big way now in this
people, so I finally put it in the front by jubes, and bombs still not planted, and that's
a problem here for a straw, so they continue to lose members at the hand of jubes.
Yeah, and Fuzi hasn't been able to get involved in the action, he's just trying to place
the forward the off, but that option is gone now.
Yet if you're something to help hook, so you get into this site, that smoke's gonna
fade shortly, and then you won't have the comfort of transition into the plant.
Oh, I miss shot nearly, but they needed it.
22 seconds.
Well, I can never close.
Sure, the middle of the side.
Oh, see, tries to flick down.
But jokes is having one hell of a round here.
Three kills picked up in the water.
And that's it.
You can't do much if you're a sauce.
Just remember how quick this round started.
Went through a tent towards the beef off site.
Yeah.
They just never really break beyond the chokehold.
I think it's a great read of this scenario from foot.
You're saying you guys really wanted to bully us at this beat
speed bombsite early, you just notice we throw it all of our counter utility.
We now don't have that if you come back and re-exact, so we're just going to keep
four players parked here.
And that's just the number of bodies.
It's great kills from Raiy to get some of those openings, but because there were so many
people already at the bombsite, there wasn't space to be taken off of them.
Took down the offer up and have it, and normally you feel like that's going to give
you a little bit of safety, but it just wasn't there.
Yeah, and already a time I'll be taking here for a straw is not comfortable with how this
T side has started.
They don't get a bomb plant in this round, which means no extra cash to squeeze out those
a case in armor and so you're in a situation where yes, you've sent the alba fuzzi
but you don't really have a whole lot of s to put around it.
No, you don't.
So what's the decision then?
You're least got to you had to play called there for fuzzi to get aggressive at the start of the
round right? You got to the sandbags as quick as humanly possible and hold that line just never had an option for a flight.
That deep edge was so passive. He basically holds the line at the pillar to cut that
pop side in half but no one ever crossed it. No one ever peaked into it.
So now if your Fuzzi might feel like you know, it's not to be more aggressive, but this
round if you want to go create the opportunity for your teammates.
Oh, give right-clogs, that feels rough, but that is the one way you have to open things
up so Fuzzi grab it in the first kill, the round team for a straw is, yes they've got
weaker weapons still across the board, but having that advantage in terms of the player
count department, why it just be the way for a straw to get into this.
Nice to have a player like that on the team that could just go find you a kill.
and that kind of a scenario.
I've got to raise.
Obviously, out of an easy shot to hit, and not an easy point to decide to be aggressive
as the offer.
Hey, first of all, he had a couple of big moments yesterday in his passion.
He did.
There's periods of that game where he wishes to culminate, taking over the server.
You haven't seen the, ooh, hold the phone.
Good flashbang, taking the op-off to Angle.
Cemetery won't want to mess with that yet again, but it leaves Corbany on an island over
and bathrooms.
This isn't him for that can be recovered if he goes down.
Oh, it could reaction if he didn't want that stare, it could have been almost blind
side.
Looks as close to our arms, he gets up the numbers, but then foos, he's got another chance
that they know that all piz.
Yeah, flashbang not nearly as effective as he would have liked.
It did pop in the open, but all piz so far back that it doesn't truly blind foosy.
So again, that's the M4 and the ground that can actually go out towards long if they
want to spend the time to go recover it.
on three. It's cemetery alone at the A bomb site with an off but the B defense is pushing
forward to come for a flank upcon.
So, the retreating further away from the fire and the flames. Need that?
Yeah, definitely need to nail that one. Nine seconds, limited time here. It's strong. It's going
to get that palm down right now. You've got to start it. Fuse it tonight. It's demon
who just comes in from behind and that is it. There's no time to recover that palm. We're
We're gonna plant it again, demon.
Gets is a little steel that, and that's five one now for food.
And again, just smart play from foot,
even into disadvantaged situation.
And the assembatories not trying to win the round
by doing something crazy with the AWP.
That X-EU comes in and he's like,
you know what, the fight's not there for me.
I got my teammate in the flank position.
I'm gonna back off and live.
And Huxie's starting to get frustrated and stressed
because it feels like they're not getting too many
clean opportunities to spite this thick from Fursy,
not able to build upon it.
Despite this follow up from Fursy,
not able to do anything with it.
Great round with the off.
But not able to pull out the wind, so AK's back in handy,
I'll be back down to a Eagle.
Over the top of the smoke, Fuzzi.
As found success, again, getting an opening kill here for his team.
Cattestraw is making anything of it this time.
Well, they've got the weapons to capitalize this time.
It's not Eagle's following up that opening pick.
It's AK 47's.
There's AK.
one decalment.
In the hands of old, yeah, he's the one who passed the op over to Fuzi to get them
that opening kill.
And once again, a straws have found the weak bombsite, it's only jugs here and yeah,
he's been phenomenal so far in these positions, but he's got the entire weight of a
straws as a tack coming on him and only him.
Now, well, Jerry's waiting, they start coming through short right now, if you get the
right, the lot gets toppled, no problem, right you, the domain with the 8K-47 and a
wall has flood all over the site. Yeah, they'll get their second round. They'll call for a save as the
bombsite was stacked, so nobody even budges and even considers coming over to this bee bomb site.
It'll preserve the money with this lead 5-1 foot feel like they have around to give away and they
will. So it's going to be cut to three. This straw will start coming back into this with their first
gun around the wind. Now, Fuzi again, grid I'll put in the early stages of the round with that alt.
Well, it's attempting to hold on to the M4 and he's me.
What?
Careful here.
Do you have any of the digo from the previous round?
Is that safe?
I'm wondering if I'll go with all.
Why do they happen to a long hill?
Five to two?
Three round lead, bomb goes off.
This bomb's all around so you could start getting a little bit hyped up on the Astralisite.
It's food who's going to call their time out to talk things over.
over before this, even as a chance of spiraling out of control looking to respond immediately.
I think now you got to have the conversation of let's not be too aggressive with our
rifles, let's maybe let's cemetery take some of those initial fights, see that's
now Fuzzi we could see he's he's feeling at the moment, they're sending Fuzzi forward
the game plan of a straws on this T side is to let that off and activate that off to
find some opening picks, sort of the previous round with that aggression and underpass
towards Blue Door to get the pick on the jumping longs.
Now we've seen a boosted up over towards Fountain.
A lot of resources being given over to Foozy early
to see if you can force back this defense with a kill.
And it's been successful.
So you just have to put a stop to that if you're foot.
Am I mean you have to play with a little bit less information?
Might mean you don't get a chance to harass and be disruptive
in the middle round in the early round.
But get me loose and too many players any longer to this off.
Cause Foozy's showing you, he's going to punish me.
Get some chance.
the
No one's there. Oh, they can't drop off that boost. Just mantle it and put in their resources
else what lack of noise and presence of anyone over it's who is B.
Put in the football as the A-bomb site on high alert. You can see Crabeni starting to set up the bathroom
set up with symmetry here with him.
55 seconds on the clock.
A lot of room for yabby. These are the kind of plays that put his name on the map back in
heroic. He's kind of solo lurks on the extremities. He can be a force and he's found a really
sneaky position. Quiet on the map. Both teams have got to be nervous as hell.
Let's go on the way to the CT side. They're preparing moves forward at the right time and
he's spotted the ball in his wall. Despite going down, he sees the ball. Yeah, they all
rotated off. So it's good that he caught that because now they can get back at the perfect
Yeah, we'll be coming back to the bank. Oh, there's a chance and that was a kill. A stair packed away
15 seconds on the clock is the bomb now starts to think about being planted
It's hook see standing in forward. You can see
Who would just try to steal that ball plant away again, but it's trawlers are fighting on and now it is why you up against the lungs to the one-be-one challenge
We'll be a third round for a straw. Let's pick up off the back of Ryan this time
We'll have to wait and see because lunch is repositioned all the way back over the bank
Ryan appears over the stairway.
That's quickly positioned here from Lounce.
He's chasing down.
Don't you make damage dodged.
Ryan is health low.
Lounce just doing so much damage.
Time is running.
Famed.
He's got the kill.
And Lounce just to cure the clutch.
Two stunts helping.
He yells across the other side.
And a little way to give it over as well is Ryan can speed the 1v1.
I like that.
Put some pressure on the rookie.
Put some pressure on the young guy.
and they can really feel the fact that he lost that one B1 that extended clutch
a very good round put together by Rai, but not able to close it out.
That should, that retake felt like it was going to be a lot cleaner.
It's not bad at all from a Stralis to bring that down into the one B1.
I think foot kind of misplayed the pacing of how they traded and how they swung into that
bomb set at the end of the day, but a lovely clush from Lomsu continues his stellar play
in the series.
Oh, Fuzzi.
It's an awkward scenario isn't it?
It's time we'll met.
I can't believe Crabeni's still getting in the boat.
We just talked about that around the back.
He's still like, nah, I don't care.
I'm going to have a go Fuzzi.
Yeah, I don't want to play Boring Counter Strike.
Definitely never play Boring Counter Strike, Crabeni.
Juke's another opening killed this time,
traded immediately by Hoaxi.
Look how much utility gets dumped as soon as Presence has shown though.
The HEEGRENA double flashbang as well.
They're thinking there was going to be more strawless players swinging out of monster,
but not this time.
One for one, we play four on four.
Utility chucked out towards the front of bathrooms, denying information over to
Crabany, who's there to have that intel to try to keep track of the scaling towards
the A-bombsite, but they're taking the risk that nobody's coming for a strawless,
and they've read it perfectly yet again.
It has three players at the point of attack.
We'll be unexpected for a Strollis.
So, Metario, okay, right by Stera,
as soon as he peaks,
Raiu could clean herself on Lounx.
Gets his revenge and the previous one if you wanna fight.
And that's a Strollis, who didn't go through around.
Just lost a little bit of faith in the REAP,
right at the right of the last second,
takes away his angle for no good reason.
utility was up and actually they just they could just kind of crouch the lid into the angle. That should have been the easiest kill of his life and instead
He gets absolutely nothing. Team overrun. Be bombsite overrun
All this gonna be adapted to be safe by demon. He should be just finding it out of here. 6 to 3 though
Is the straws keep clawing back around here and there
Make it the most of it. I mean, that's what you really have to do. We know their CT side was solid, right?
So if you can just get the parameda monorals on the T side,
at least you know you've got strong enough CT side
that you will snap a shot of closing this one up.
This is a elimination series of the Intel Extreme Masters
third map would be new.
If the straws can get us there and close out this overpass,
their map selection to take us to the Decider.
It's a long way to go in this one.
Ground 10 coming in and still still some cash,
But it's starting to be painful for the foot side of things running out of money towards the ladder stages of this half is
We've exchanged rounds back and forth the straw is winning two of the last three
So to continue buying and continue fighting and looking to build on the sportboard foot half to close this round out with three weapons to
A poison in HWP
Five sevens otherwise
Oh, demon.
Okay, dude.
It was a opponent.
I'm going to be the launch.
You actually finish this them off with a grenade.
Juke's just pulled off.
It's a success at a five step in.
And what a start to the round here for food e-sports.
A Stroll is left stunned.
The first 20 seconds have resulted in death of three players.
And just nowhere to go.
There's no space left.
They just lost everything.
Well, Corbinic, Corbinic maintain his aggression without being aggressive, but now he's pushed forward after his initial kill on stare, and then never expected anyone in playgrounds.
This is insane, isn't it? Well, Fuse won't be five. It's been great, but not this great.
The seventh round picked up for foot, really preventing shots and getting a good run up around to.
This happened at the perfect moment. What is the economy's about to disappear as well? A very clean win,
when Corbany is gonna hang out with the pink elephant and just on a chill, having a tea party.
There's a rouse, not so much of a relaxing party as foosy appears, where the gift he didn't want.
Now they can swarm it, and he realizes that's probably happening right now, so let me get rid of anything that's has any value,
or through that AWP out of the map.
It's going to be picked up the AK-47 and off to the races and go rock.
It's not saying to do some damage and die before the time.
Yeah, a couple of kills at the end of the day, but nicely done from foot.
That's a change of pace and aggression on the CT side, pushing it towards short.
And actually, Australia's one of the fights.
You know, where are you at the Blue Nore as I was looking for?
It was waiting for that headshot angle, couldn't connect the shot whatsoever.
The jugs falling out with a 5-7 is brutal, and that's just for Benny again.
maintaining that aggressive position without being super aggressive about it and then
finding the moment to push forward and just be annoying. He's got a good read.
Yeah, he does and I think at this point as trawless are really, really
struggling to lose this round. Three rounds is not going to be enough, it feels like
you know, footage sports. You're going to have some cool T-Rounds left in them.
Look at this long push though. When do they want to do it? Long's looking over to
his teammate's screen to make sure he's got intel of what's happening. This double boost,
the resources to give over towards Fuzi is giving a lot of space for Krabani.
They drop off said boosts. I don't know Fuzi spotted that.
Krabani.
The stats, those hooks, the...
Oh, it's gone down.
Oh, that's brutal.
That's even more brutal.
It's just a lot of utility just trapped in the mince, savoring them off.
There's an extra player coming through.
And right you, this is such a fortified to be one, and Krabani!
Again, picking it up, he's just so incredible, defraining department as well as the calling department, but yeah, be
You love that they just feed him. Yeah, but you don't you don't need to do that
That's what's still confusing you as he is out. Okay. You've done damage. You want to treat him up? Oh, I can't let that shot either this push was so
That's the scary. Yeah, they threw it away. They've let us throw us out of the net. That's unreal
All right for Benny age clutch or it's
The...
They're just sitting around the walls.
It has to be an ace clutch at the part of the map where they already know you are.
It's like you don't even get a play like an ninja like secretly.
The other thing is, look at the time.
Could he cause enough to lay?
One more kill here and it's doable.
Ah, well, he misses out in that chance.
Now, a decision to make does he race down Connector, but he anticipates, he probably target
in here as well.
I'm going to be racing to the people.
I'm sorry he has no time to really be too methodical about it.
He just has to try and race his way into a good position.
They've got a smoke as well, so Crabani just getting blocked out there. No worries.
And yeah, he's gonna be very frustrated.
Well, he called that or not.
It's a result that should have gone the way of food-easports.
We should be looking at an 83 score line.
Yeah, I said one of the great strengths from this team was that they don't really kind of overextended
and make too many like big macro mistakes. That was a huge one.
That is it. For Crabani to push it up and get you two kills in that fashion and stall the roundout
by dropping the bomb and smoking people off and controlling top ladder.
You know, if to push monster after that is insanity.
Even him right back and now it's drawless where we were just talking about lose this round and they have no money for the last and you're looking at here laughing
sitting at a 9 3 score line all of a sudden you're staring at the you're staring at 7 5 instead of brutal reversal.
Could be the difference from a CO and having to bust your ass at a third match.
So yeah, be know you didn't expect you were going to be the MVP of the round, but
around can't do them.
Alright, well that's an interesting
interesting change of the situation.
Welcome from Yati handling this, even the USP is out. He must have had
comes from a teammate that he was danger that he was low.
That someone put a bunch of bullets into him to pull out that USP.
That must have been a miscom in that kind of a scenario.
So seven or four are straddles looking to take this
Take this lifeline and extend it and bring themselves a little bit closer. All five players quickly towards the deep onsite
Crabadi hiding out in connector
Demon the first player to take damage, but look how much space is strong so take it to a short already and pursue of a fifth round
Strawl us have committed towards B. This is a really cool setup
the way they get a protect each other here and then it also gives a lot of freedom over to
Corbany to pick and choose his moments to activate on the flank when they commit to the B bomb site
Break the call on smoke you can play with you, but
from hooks to the end of the day.
Remember, he'd already noticed a number of times
they jump counter utility on those fast-placed
torches to be bombsite.
Okay, this retake is kind of on it the moment.
Other Corbetti's gone down much tougher for cemetery
with no kit.
He swings in next-air posts it out.
All off the back of Ryus triple kill opening.
A straw is up done what they can.
Five to seven at the end of the first half.
The
World Cup.
line. Now look like footy sports. We're going to walk away with a very one side
in half and see to side. It's all really close and opportunity and as well as
given a luxury of an extra couple around us. Yeah, just the consequences of
just an incredibly large blunder getting away kills in a five on three,
getting away a push for no great reason. Two, four on three at that point, but
still you give the round right back and a straws poses out the half on a two
round run. Bring it as close as they possibly can. A big swing on the scoreboard
and now we get live into the second half pistol. Three towards the underpass
towards blue door.
And Fuzi to an opening kill.
Okay, well, if Long says no longer playing the game right now.
Sit back, relax, look at the four screens around you.
That was a simple water.
Okay.
Nice thing is that I have to bust up the kind of plan.
That's not like he spotted the stack.
That was just a push and a one-tap kill.
Fuzi, oh, he gets stuck on the wall.
Can't fall back in a cover, a little bit of a mistake.
into a foreign for no damage taken still two players to find on the defense out towards
long and there's the doleys.
You have the doleys getting going here, right you eventually taking down for a bany and
symmetry able to do what they can and now it will be a advantage siding with foot now
taken away by yabby so acceleration for cemetery moving forward with krabani the
bombs are clear enough space in this a bomb side to get planted it looks like they
could get that shot so it'll be a retake from a straw as required that was an important
piece of aggression from cemetery to keep the yabby from swinging wide as he came over, keeping
him sucked back or some of his stair, prevent him from getting out into the bomb site.
Now they have access to one, two, there's no kit and good positioning.
I need that tracking to the dive spot, he goes out to the yogurt and now yabby leaping
forward into the site.
It's going to be cemetery, god.
And yabby getting on to that deep view.
He's just going to hold it.
He's going to stick it.
A full 10 seconds and yeah, he's coming off now.
He goes into that peaking in the car and goes to Spaddy to take him out and food he's
boys celebrating getting loud across the board here for a outpitched around when in here
the second half.
Yeah, and getting loud we were having some fun with it in Mapp number two.
It's a lot less fun when you actually have elimination in the line.
So I don't think Hooks is going to be as good nature about the yelling and the screaming
at the moment as his team is down by three rounds five date.
Now neither team has been able to convert the second round after winning this.
No, it doesn't.
This would be a great time to have that happen.
It would be for foot terrible.
I mean, straws have USP.
That's true.
For any other team, I'd say, okay, he's easy.
Nine for all of them.
For food he's poor, still the USP's definitely
have been to the most difficult round of your tournament.
Exactly.
Miss, a stack for his trawlers in middle with a flash already to go.
This just has a recipe, you'll success right now, over it.
It depends on the approach from foot, right?
If it's not, if it's not very loud, if there's not as many sound cues,
then they might just be able to kind of walk into things and grab a kill before it can activate.
And if they make a footstep, you add that flashbang, you're going to come into your face.
Looks he's got it primed. Here it comes. And nobody's home.
Everyone back into his cover. Yeah, they get the little bit of damage. Super official though
as the rest of the rifle is now swinging into the fight stack goes nowhere.
Nine to five, Australia is one of the get-to-the-gun rounds, and that's coming up.
gonna start winning immediately.
Now we're going to talk about the success of a Strollus against Paravision right
was the ability of Yappy in particular to just absolutely grateful to Strollus towards
that people.
I'm sorry.
It felt just like a huge wall of defense that you couldn't get around if you're
a Paravision.
A Strollus needs something similar today, because they do have a bit of a come back
ahead of all ready.
Four rounds down just to tie things up, so much pressure on getting this win today.
I'm just excited to see what Crometti has and so forth.
Yeah, he saw it overpass.
Well, he's finally getting individually, right?
15 and 7.
So IGL clearly, CT-Start was reading the game very, very well.
So he's got to be feeling supremely confident both as an individual and in terms of how
he's approaching things.
We'll leave the way for his team through this smoke as well.
Deep Molotov to give a little bit of protection.
Now they could start scaling four players for foot over here in bathrooms, fit the
fifth is wrapping around playground and fountain right now to join up with them.
So there's an initial lurk smoke at the front of the bombsite that deny information.
That's going to pull a third defender back from the B bombsite.
Why you and Yabby left to defend that part of the map as hooks you joins up at the A-Bombsite?
30 seconds. Foot really run in this one down.
they're making it feel like it's gonna be a play towards the B bombsite. There's no noise being made.
A Straulus have just evacuated the A bombsite. It's only stair-left, he's screwed. He's so screwed.
I wonder if he realized, oh, we're all here. He goes to that peak. Oh, he actually constantly sets in the first,
then gets destroyed. It's really important for I'd come in there. Oh my god, why am I behind it? Why am I behind it? Why am I behind it?
Oh my god, why would he do that?
Oh, they've absolutely ruined it again.
After...
Yeah.
You wanted to say it again, I did.
If it wasn't for Intel, you would have said it.
I definitely would have said it, Jason.
Now they've absolutely destroyed themselves.
For no reason.
Isn't that you thought you'd kill one stare?
Yeah.
I mean, I guess they just think everybody's hiding in bathrooms.
I don't know.
Look, realistically, I know it seems so silly and so simple and so easy.
But in the moment, in the server, that's the inexperienced in the excitement of
the situation the clock is running down everything's a little bit more intense
wrong decisions made but i'll tell you this that's too critical critical
mistakes that could have huge consequences between this and the push-out monster
in the four on three in the last half footer beating themselves yes it's not
surely being a strong but they're also being the same time just a whole lot of
being going on alright let's see if the stars can make the most of that
That kind of situation though.
Let's see.
There's a world of which foot can just bounce back after that.
They have to.
I feel like if you lose the round after that, you kind of get knocked off your feet.
Sure.
You have to be that.
Sure.
Monks clearing the bathrooms, heading into the waiting arms of the stair.
I mean you are right.
Right, I would just say that I think this foot team is kind of one of the things that's been impressive is that they haven't fallen
Oh, no, that one's gonna hurt
Crapani pulls out his Nade before clearing the corner and now Yabby's got an advanced position. Oh, this is gonna go bad to where's Diko
I think it's on rapidly. I think the whole half is unraveling
Yabby drops down. Oh, okay. Rye you peaked off from short. Why are you saving a pretty damn good game?
Yes, yes getting a fall
Why are we showing this one he's made up?
Why is being put in this astrologer's he got cemetery moving forward and he is going to fall to her
see, Jun's left alone, 30 seconds on the clock. Oh man, they were playing so well.
This might take him always to recover from.
I know, this is going to be a rough okay. Well, we'll see, they're going to have to take a
little bit of a step back. Might be time for a time out, little pause in the action.
I have a conversation if you're on the foot side of things. They've become unspooled.
It's a bummer about it as you're so close if it feels like you've been in the position
to win this map to zero.
You've given a couple back a number of times.
Now you've got to sit back on blocks and this might just be a good chance to have a
chitchat if you're crubbending.
And crush it as you have the experiences and IGL to realize this is the moment where
you know, we've got to get everyone focused back and locked in.
and
a whole lot of tests now lying in front of them
something we've been talking about
with his foot team has been no tenacity no we put a test in front of them
earlier on the competition you know if they didn't get a good start with they still be able to
the end of the show back in the game
they showed that they could do that against G2
and then very close
trying to recover from this another series should have won if you remember that
G2 series was against the USP's trying to rush out for the wrap on an ancient
There's a lot of mistakes to tighten up and then we got a really great team
It's actually it's actually not a lot of mistakes. It's just really big ones
crucial points in the game as well
Too many issues for on that
Upload kills of his A&P, and then Crabetti coming on out with a swing of that D.
17 kills on Crabetti, leading the server, Fuzzi's up at 15, so it was right you.
Starting to scale, AK-47 recovered, Fuzzi's over-extended position, good kill can't transfer over.
Off will be recovered, no big deal, Astralis closing the gap.
8 to 9, and a timeout now for foot before that next gun around, I think
this is absolutely necessary, absolutely needed so good call.
After Chitchette let everyone take a breath, maybe call it'sactic, like it's to take some of
the thinking out of things and get a little bit of mojo going once again.
I'm going to see some of that tenacity and action if these guys can come back and do it.
Yeah, you're right, those were some of the questions we posed.
Can they get knocked off their game? Are they going to be able to get their game back?
can they overcome some adversity by being buried early on in the half?
They've proven they can do all of those things.
And in the game to keep your tournament life alive, it's an important moment to show it
one more time.
One round lead for foot.
No more mistakes.
There he's allowed to stay in part. He's got a blind spot there. Look at that perfect position.
Ons of the sanctuary in Caches, Crabani, Stair off the leash and just going forward.
A couple of kills finally responded to by cemetery, but that is just thrown plad A completely out the window.
Maybe even plan B for foot.
Making a lot of assumptions now not clear in your corners, not aware of the potential for that kind of aggression.
Astralis isn't going to be afraid to throw that in.
That's the experience of them just saying, you know what?
I've been in this position a number of times.
I'm not going to be scared to push up and get into it.
Nice double kill from stair.
So focused foot, I think on what's called and what the strategy is, they miss the details.
Yeah, be another great double jaw over towards B,
demon doing what he can't because into the fight and then
can act rid on that second chance.
Could be a bit for us.
Shorty left that one.
Get away from it.
Building something that but a straw is loving.
In fact, they've been given an opportunity to get back into this game.
And they're going to ride with it.
I think the conversation you have to have right now if your foot is you're saying,
you know, like, yeah, this is a comeback.
This is now forced right for a straw.
It's been ugly.
It's been gross, but that's on the street.
They've only tied things up, right?
Like they haven't taken the lead.
They haven't extended out to anything crazy.
All they've done is kind of match us back. So if we just settle down and get back to the game we were playing
This is gonna be all fine. We're gonna get that lead right back nice and quick
For double kill from Yabby flashbang. There were shuffling grenades. That flash came in so very easily could have been caught tech nines for foot playing with the half low economy
Affine investment here
Mollots off to force the off of Fuzi back in it will see a Fuzi with an AWP here in a highway. You've got stairway back out towards long
Who's he just waiting in behind dicebox?
Some utility going out and they clear out the site, Techno and Falon's going back in
long.
There's the A-Towl Stairkating overrun.
Is this one of the rounds that kicked them back into him?
Because this certainly could have checked a lot of energy back into the teeth of the
ditched loss.
And no one from Astralis is coming on the flank.
The entire retake is going to come to these two choke points, and they're very narrow choke points against a flothora of tech nine.
Well, cat afford to let this one go.
This is a golden chance here for foodies, boys.
They've suddenly been given an opportunity to hold off the time being as the spray coming in.
It's Yabby, Samutri and Huxedo all taking kills between them.
And we've now just got chugs, what the lawn?
He just pulled with that tech nine deep use piece stuck.
And this opportunity does get by for it will be a straws to recover.
And a really important retake falling in the way small detail. So many players from foot still inside the bomb flight
When that Molotov comes in forces the truck player away who's protecting gets the swing up the stairs
He doesn't have the time the calm doesn't come in quick enough that he's got to change his gaze
Nobody picks up that swing off the headshot angle
He he transfers over to watch back and nobody's home to protect against the retake from a Stralis well struck with utility and now a Stralis have to lead
around 2010 to 9.
How fast it can change.
And foot down in recovery mode.
Nice for food you can take a positive
that you got that close to around with tech nines.
That's if you can get into that position
the position that you got weapons out again.
Samuture's been a little quiet on the WP. He's got it out now.
Happy losing his health. He's down to a 25-inch feet.
Oh, flash back out, Stan. Talks himself against the wall.
I'm going to get into this position, looking to be activated by supportive teammate inside the bombsite that's fuzzy, but he's got no more flashbangs, so it'll be a smoke instead to protect Stair for the moment, allow him to get aggressive behind Divider.
Oh, break it that smoke and stare, taking away too. Oh, it's starting to get really sad now for foot.
Oh, that's set up so nicely as well.
Credit to him.
Well, looking like a straw, the straw is going to grind out over past here.
New quitting in the winks.
Thuzy is going to go for that peak at long.
Just look away.
Possibly the worst time. And then you get back to it regardless, okay.
I don't know, Fuzi.
Corbetti hasn't been able to get anything yellow.
This is a kind of like sneaky, like, rady little style, right?
It was normally most different on his able to get his one or two workloads.
You feel it coming around a smoke.
This game has largely been neutralized in these past four or five rounds.
As Strauss, I've just hit a streak that foot can't get past at the moment.
But knocked off their game and struggling to get it back.
But right now has to be the moment.
You're down by two.
It's 9-2-11.
This has got to be the call that you feel the round.
You feel most confident in getting you a round win.
His money is not pretty either.
Corvenny drops down to a glowyle, so much you will have to do the same thing.
And you're out of time out after this, the third and final chance for footscoach to be
involved.
Coolio barking out marching orders.
I love that smoke into the break.
Stairplane of fantastic round start to finish.
Yeah, Fuji hype it him up as well.
Here we go, round 21.
Foot running out of chances here on overpass.
Astralis is not picked going well.
It happened quickly, it happened fast.
Five or six straight, excuse me,
for Astralis's CT side.
Slowly, getting closer and closer to the bathroom soon, they've got the front bathroom
smoke and in fact, they just walk right through it, Crabany, and keep pushing up towards
the A site.
Starr is jump spotting.
It's really coming into his own here in the second half, that, damn, they're sitting
the trying counts were say so he could look to combine a game with Boosie and it's
loud sound log pick off Boosie, stay with us, talk, I'm getting anything and our
Boosie turned, oh they massacre right in front of him, it's three kills no issue for
Hooxie, one of us teammates failed to hit their mark hooxie gives him a shot.
All right well we're seeing in these moments some of the inexperienced shine, some of the
details getting missed are they aware the potential for the flank because Yabbi is so close
Already, you've got Ryu there with him in tandem.
Corbetti clearing out bank, pushing forward, and now he gets to call it out.
Now he is the information the re-take is all coming from bathrooms.
Corbetti picks up, sees the player, the flower beds, doesn't want to give his head away.
Cemetery needs to be successful here and long.
Smoke onto the site, sprays away, that's yabby gone on D4, can't get the follow-up.
Now Ryu goes and he holds that stick and Corbetti comes in to save the day.
Could have been a cleaner finish, but footage points
happy to get the winner of guard list.
I thought I could have lovely flashbangs.
Phuasy and lounges are too,
Phuasy and stairs so blind at that A-bombsite force
in a really awkward fight.
Phuasy had to evacuate out towards long
but couldn't protect himself from the side.
Lovely strike from foot to finally get themselves back in.
They stopped the run at six and now within one.
I could have watched him hoaxy to do a little bit of work
that at least gave it, keep it competitive.
cars up some of that extra money they could have built up and you can see there's the damage
being inflicted. It's still being felt here for foot. It's two collials out here, a lack of
utility on lousy junks as well. Not looking too pretty for foot at the moment in that department,
but they can still write this. Looking for a tie game once more. We're bending getting set up by
team mate. Who's the peer-down into the B-bombsite?
Quiet on the map.
A little bit of the utility exchange, but Yabby is going to get frisky,
pushing forward for a flashbang all perfectly timed out in the open as Jolgs he goes down
Nice and easy way to find a five on four and even cemetery brought down very low
Low HP indeed before we send the tree it's gonna be demon walking up through cat walk
He's gonna be taking down from Benny
He is
Good of a job as he can as Hook sees send some shots flying back
We're looking at just cemetery left the loan and footage points go crumbling at the hands of a
There was soil on this b-b-on site, the fence.
A lot better at a stroll, as do you see the light at the end of the tunnel?
I feel like this is the first time of the second half of this map,
as the first time I've seen foot like Felix scared and I'm watching them kind of set up.
It's not fixed, like everyone's found out like you're getting into position,
but you're holding back your weight in that extra beat, that extra seconds.
But man, you gotta say,
as Strauss being this proactive though, it's really hard to handle.
Just constantly peeking, you can hear the footsteps,
constantly moving, constantly getting into things,
having information, knowing where the follow-up is going to be,
and everyone is peaking together.
Riot just playing on a swivel off the appies' contacts.
Perfect rounds. Two chances to close out overpass and bring us to Nuke as a Decider.
And no reason to think of Straulas isn't going to do it.
Yeah, they're coming at that pinball, I'm signing again.
Straulas have just been able to defend this with ease.
Riot sending utility down into the monster tunnel.
Let Hooksy try and you're let's dare try and create it and if he gets you something
Frisou can come back otherwise he's gonna save the off
There goes down to jokes
drops into 16 HP
Stairs on the march out
So we're just looking to get into the side, but jokes just have the position
And Fuzzi overrun as well, so even though he didn't want to get involved
He still becomes a casualty should be fine
He's at 7,000 before he went down some money's gonna be in a good place
Astralis is going to take their second time out to give us themselves some extra seconds to talk things over
Final round of regulation it goes the distance Astralis facing elimination on this map, but they've at least got over time behind them
A few mistakes for foot throughout this game of put them in this scenario
They had the lead firm in hand
Two bone-headed rounds gave Astralis the window of opportunity to need it to claw back into it and now
Now, they're final chance to take us to Nuke in regulation.
This young team is going to try and add yet another upset...
...on another track record.
Can't make it over time.
Let's see.
AJ's back out and play the Kerala utility they could want, there's no weakness as it supplies
up to go to Goliols.
And there's that aggression from Astral that's early into the round, yeah, he'll take each
short again.
They actually back away.
Or many are just going to be jumping on this slide, the complete information if there's
an aggressive peak from the likes of Fuzi who has been in nuisance throughout this
half.
I think it's a few minutes, I think it's also the Fumalsung and Huxi as well, but I mean,
too, this is, they haven't done terribly in these kind of more passive setups.
Remember it's kind of what gave them the winning against Parivision as well, so it's going
to be well versed and kind of sitting back and holding that utility for late.
I think equally foot, as this half has gotten closer and down the stretch, with the mapping
decided here.
Got a little bit more tentative at how aggressive they're being in the opening, so as
Strawl is kind of no just by default, they get a little bit more breathing room in the
early stages.
Oh, that's fuzzy, that's the opening.
Lounce is gone, and they're going to go to the beef finish again here at foot, can they
crack through it?
on that first kill and there's big on set attacks.
Right, you great double.
Jokes makes sure it's too busy on.
And they're into the side of Spusey instead.
Have to recover this if they want to close this out right now.
Flank though, Flank though.
They haven't been aware of yet.
Fusey swapped out to the AK 47.
So both players, cemetery and Jokes
can push forward towards graffiti.
But the bombs are not planning for them.
Okay, well, Fusey's a little bit worried
that they could have backtracked through malls.
They're still not thinking about Flank.
Yeah, no one's even thinking about that.
who's just going to walk out to Furi Kill.
And so now cemetery has to deliver.
It's just been spotted and then still all banks
and so as Strauss is going to close things out.
Overpass collected right down to the wire
every round required again.
But as Strauss closed it 13 11 back to back days.
It's the mistakes, man.
It's the big mistakes.
If food and crucial moments in these games,
they keep tossing them that they result.
Mistakes of inexperience.
That's three very critical ones across the map.
I mean, at the end, not considering the flank playing out in the open with your back turns.
You have this 5-on-3 push through monster, you have the plants on the wrong side of the box,
is at the A-bombs, and all of these combined in, and otherwise, really good game at a foot
where they had a straw as deep.
They gave the right back, they gave ourselves every chance to come back into this map,
and a straw as it's happy to take advantage of them.
Yeah, and a straw as do make the most of it, they do close it.
But still, I had some fighting in the meepin' regardless of that, you know, they were still
stabilizing it in so funny ways to get into the rounds of the competitive
in a really way and the overtime that but yes, the experience and the stakes may
cost them a short take their opportunity and we settle who is being eliminated
on the third and final map coming up which is going to be new. How do you feel
now in this series and we go to that third map chase? I mean, usually when I go to
these third maps I think I think foot's been the better team in this series just in
terms of i-tests but I attend the leading towards the experience side of things
especially the way that second map of overpass just closed out a straw
the proactive team not being afraid of making plays that boats well for
Nuke will find out when we get there.
It starts with a dream, with a team you barely know, in an amateur official that feels
like the grand final, where practice becomes progress, and every loss feels like a lesson.
and it will hurt you any again.
No chance, all done!
Don't make fight here and no turning into a pro.
But you want it all!
Together tonight's a night
And even you, you feel blue
It will be alright
Leave your troubles behind
And cut no doubt
We don't get a word about the fact
I'm the freak of dawn, a brand new day
And here we'll be brighter, because we've got no way
I'm gonna give you the feeling that this is a magical moment and not every moment can be precious like this
So go on, here's something you don't miss
You
I'm dreaming of doing it.
I'm singing to you, Joe.
I'm gonna make you do something with the show.
Are you sure?
Cause I'm all ready for my heart, Joe, but Joe,
You get your way up.
You know we're gonna fall in the ice,
And I'll talk to you if you want to ask.
Wake me up, wake me up.
Hey Future Pros, taking outside with no smokes can be daunting.
So, let's look at the Ben Albo Smokeball which you can achieve for one spot.
To throw the Smokeball line up with this floor marking.
Thank your teammates to drop a couple of smokes at your feet.
Then aim in the middle of this lamp and jump through your smoke.
For the next, use the same line up and W jump through the smoke.
You can do this without a bind but I highly recommend making a W jump through a bind.
there is plenty of information on this out there. For the last smoke in below the
lamp about halfway from it and the wire below, then W job through also. Just like that
you will have a wall that will cover up main along with the warehouse. Don't cross
the secret wide as Heaven will still be able to spot you but for taking space he smokes
looks off and tassly.
8-butchepros, on Nuke and this time with a classic outside smoke wall.
For this outside take, you will need 3 future pros, 3 smokes, 3 flashes, a molly and a
hg.
Future pro number 1, you will throw the first smoke, along with an early flash, hg and the
secret molly.
To throw your smoke, while exiting T spawn, run next to this fence, in between these two
fence posts and above this wire, then running through the smoke.
Pull out your flash and throw it in this general area so it bounces over the box and T-Ret.
You can also throw a HE towards red just in case the CT makes it close.
Finally, pull out your molly and throw it towards secret.
If you can't do this on the fly, just like Ray, just give it a few attempts, offline, and I'm sure you'll get the feeling of it.
Future point number two, you will throw the second smoke and it's all you have to do, so don't mess it up.
To throw the smoke, stand at the left point at the back of the truck.
In between these two windows along this imaginary line, then jump through the smoke.
Finally, future print number 3, you will throw the third smoke along with a couple of supporting
flashes.
To throw your smoke, get yourself in line with this lamp post.
Aim at the middle point at this gray section on the storage crate.
and jump through the smoke.
Lastly, use your two flashes to flash behind your teammates as they are taking space outside.
These flashes will blind anyone trying to play ahead of the smoke, and that's it.
This outside take is a classic on-new.
There are many options to take outside as a T, but sometimes the original take can be the best
state.
Last nap of the day here on the B-Strum at the Intent Tree Master Practa of 2026, it's
as strong as a versus for eSports and fighting for survival here.
Now we move on to Newt as a third and final.
I felt like the food could have been too zero this year.
They had a lot of chances.
They also were playing against the solace or a little bit there.
Jason, you want to be in the United States, but as well as capitalized, we'll give it
the opportunity.
And now they have a chance to stay alive.
Yeah, that would have been the conversation, right?
Look at the minimizing those mistakes, especially the scale of those mistakes, they were just
devastating an overpass.
A bunch at the end of that map.
It feels like in this series, what's actually played the better counter strike, but it
was a strong experience and overpass that won the day at the end.
Now you come into a third map without experience yet again, can have a huge influence
and in fact on how this map actually plays out, how this theory closes out.
Let's find out.
Nuke, one of these two teams is going home.
Foot, one in the night, probably going to be starting on the CT side.
A strawless starting on the T side.
That's hacking into the defense.
I hope to be going to be a little more comfortable with the magic.
We'll see, I'm calling on this T side.
We'll see, on its all going to pan out though,
with a stair with the smoke and flash.
It tries to see where the idea is here.
I was struggles on the t-side of overpass, so we'd love to get a bit of start here as
hook seat.
Jumping around the side of the slope that is trickle-bound for me, it's crupetty, coming
up towards the secret stairs and stairs, it's a wrecking.
Yeah, it's a wrecked-up.
Nice way to put it.
Demon is got someone jumping up on top, climbing over him, his teammates gone down all
of a sudden, the three versus five is flawless, making this new pistol round look easy.
I think Demon is kind of a run out of options of how to play from this situation.
And now into the upper part, so we go, Duelis have way too many targets to aim at and
a Strollist's team rolls on the pistol.
Yeah, just coming in quickly, shot, there's no team to block the line.
Well, we fought doing what he can, it's just a single kill.
Apparently, we're really talking about some of the inconsistencies of both of these teams, struggling
at the start of these rounds, starting these halfs rather, these pistol rounds, the force
buys, even pretty back and forth so far.
But it's strong with love if they keep up that kind of momentum they just wanted that pistol into the second round to you
Yeah, they could actually convert it would be a great thing else
Especially when you add in the factor of T-Sock nuke in this deciding map as well
Get those rounds early so you have some ball first
So you got some freebies to play with moving forward in case things get you give a little bit sketchy
So five galleals for the Astralis attack
2.5-7's 2-Digos and MP9 on defense.
Stair is just going to make the sprint the mad dash, dodging all the bullets behind the
smoke wall.
Early pressure applied to the lower bomb site.
What's gonna meet that pressure?
Ooh?
With numbers.
All right, hooksy, when do you figure this out?
Well, most of all, what do you do
when you realize how many plays it down here,
ready for you?
Okay, there's, you can still rapidly
communicating that and just wanted to really
force the issue that and unfortunately
or as far as they are to remember down now
it's a chance to hear how to get into the upper ball size
gonna be demon just playing it towards the vents.
Why are you gonna be popping a F-9,
nipping out and nipping back in?
And really it's a straw that's trying to fight on him and show that he can't convert this, the curse looks to be continuing.
A 3v2, the plap is secured in the bomb site.
Phuzy goes back out to fight a mate, knows his play is down, we can't avoid it, but haven't.
A good reason is he now gets confirmation, there is a player up that.
A tempting this retake, so Phuzy is committed to watching that angle.
Oh nice smoke though, that's gonna negate Yabby's position.
Lock's him out, he's got a hide-in and wait for his moment to power, it's coming through.
I'll show you how different Fuzzi looks back up, but as long as to it's through with that 5-7 headshot, Yappy quick response.
I said the name to the back, and you help that's ripped a good for the HP off in chance of that D-FU's out, so Yappy gets the celebration.
Survivs on one HP as well at the end of that clutch, just barely living, but a brilliant H-E-K-Dade into the bombsite, all the resources he needed perfectly played with that defensive smoke over towards Benz.
A Stralis just barely managed to survive.
I really need a diabetes to step up here, 47 at this point in the round.
It's out for the peak and you're getting dropped down to 1 HP, that is massive in the
habit of win that one out.
But if you're going to keep the pressure up, we'll give it to you.
Maybe come out with the mass of four players, you've got an empty nine in play for
Crabetti.
That's a, I mean, look, it's fun.
It's exciting.
It's a massive risk to take on this third and deciding map.
This can throw your economy for the rest of the half into chaos.
You can understand how tantalizing it is when you bring them down to just one player surviving, you know, their money's low as well
And to pull this off, you've had to throw away all grenades. No utility left after the initial salvo
Aslux
Take it hoaxy out of the question second time. He's seen that setup. I mean, there's only two players this time
But along the wall and over at the stairs, so hoaxy now has an idea of how they wanted to defend that
for many a whole backlines of garages got to kill that's the bomb loose is
locked and the famos coming in but it's unrequired it will be the MP9 of
Cropetti finishing off another of the straw is the system on a pressure being thrown
at them eventually they do crack alright well at least you've taken out Cropetti
in the big garage so if you are gonna make something out of this two versus five
turn two versus four you have at least taken out that point of attack Cropetti
being able to survive there is so difficult to deal with as dinks they they
They seem intimidating, not the only too much damage.
Jabby down to 72, there's a flank coming in, so a timer on this round is demon is just going to end things.
Now, all right, we have some aside. Take a few more fights, take a few more players with it.
Kill them are valuable.
Now, 15 seconds, let's go, just went over to the ball.
Let's get into the site in time.
It's not going to be happening for Mr. Raiu.
Yeah, he's going to save this because this will basically be a Hero AK-47 in the next round.
Pretty much everyone's there.
It's going to have 2800, but you have a 2400, those are the two kind of highest that you'll be able to have.
So, going to be a bit of a weird bias to the AK-47 can go a long way, but just without utility and just with weapons, footstand, they're ground, just decimate a straw.
So, the hard thing now is this Rex 4.5 for a straw.
It's going to be a little bit busted as well.
It's like nine's coming in, light on nades for the T side, so it's up around for hooksie to call.
At least they can vertical the second round though.
They sure.
They're third round though, a little difficult.
The task person doesn't make up for it.
I don't know.
You got to make J's out, still first call us.
Always possibility for a round with you.
I think it'll wait.
Just a second before they start their play, they get through that smoke.
through that smoke and demon are ready to set the down to the be-bombsite.
So as Charles have fought for the round for them and they have got control of it,
well they know they want to use it as a whole, the questions that they back away and think about reattacking
maybe into the upper-bombsite altogether.
Alright, Chiu, you've got a lot of attention coming your way.
action will be swift to help out, but it's up above knowing else in the side itself
so Juni needs to stay alive, we're all so much here to have to give up the angle.
Oh, gee, there's the double finally taken down plant might be on the cards, when still far away.
Yeah, it could be hit the pause button for now just to re-calibrate and figure out what they've got available inside of the site.
It's infusy reloading the M4 now stare with the ball plant going out that tapping.
But as the time is ticked on, we've seen foot getting better positions, they've got players now waiting at heaven.
Two about the remaining rush out of the top. It's foosy with the double kill though
And then who could see all that tech down and remember this round started with straws on two rifles
Three pistols and it's coming out on top of them right now. Well, let's go Benny can win up this clutch
stairway to the back of the site for Benny sneaking forward, but doesn't check hoaxy
And hoaxy's gonna be happy about that one
This is a very scrappy start to the game. Yeah, very scrappy start to the game
I was surprised that you know down the stretch as well against a low-byte foot only had the the one member inside the bombsite one up above
of pretty light on the resources to defend the upper bombs.
I think a Stralis and Huxi are gonna be loving
that they were able to kind of wallets in,
and that's what they encounter.
Three to one, nicely done.
And now you get into the,
now you get into the weird money place for foot,
where they have to have conversations
how they wanna handle these buys.
Long start at 1400, so it's gonna be awhile
before he's feeling like he's flush with cash.
Think you're gonna have to just upgrade a few pistols
sit back and wait for the next gun round.
Interesting to know it on this third map, foot does have a 100% win rate in the last three months.
No, that's pretty, who's it again?
It's pretty cool, isn't it?
They'd be liquid in the state 1 of Crackout, and then after that liquid is probably the best team they'd be.
Yeah.
Monty's not bad.
There you go, how's last year?
I didn't remember, no.
You know what?
Oh, what happens is that a lot has happened since then that's whether we can't hold that run
No, that was true. That was their first ride better since then exactly that was the first ride out in Shanghai as well
Just after that and for they'd be placed
Strawls get to be hitting into this upper floor. So outside smokes. I love the club
Any is just disrespectful to the outside smoke party's like all right
I'm calling you bluff on that he walks a little further and does die regardless
The loft car.
Yeah, it's there.
We don't have to stop on top of the side load.
Who's going to clean up with that ramp?
Push it easy, a breezy.
Well, I'll tell you what it's called.
Also, you're right now, as we all know, is anyone's known who's played any significant amount
of nuke.
If on the CT side, you can't stop teams busting into the upper bomb site.
You're going to have a really bad time.
Yes.
And as for all of us, it's really starting to set the trend, right?
They're starting to be the trend setters that are just like, we can come into the upper
bombs.
We can do it on low-bind.
We can do it on high-binds.
What will it's at the end of you?
find some weaknesses. I haven't had a lot of photographs here for the CT side,
but here because obviously they just kept it best thing. So hopefully,
once the money stabilizes a little bit, we'll see if we can get some more
stopping power. This is a fire around. They don't have a WP. And they don't have a
huge amount of utility. I can't end up, but look at this from all you over the top.
Oh my god, Crabani gets away with both kills outside. That's wild. One dropped
in events. I don't think they spotted it. It almost looked like they might have.
We got a stare down lower already and ya'll be just showing him in the vet.
So demons already down here to try and deal with this threat, but I can get it ready for them to be this far down.
Well, if it gets himself in position behind the silo, he should be okay.
Stair, it's going to be itself angle for him to deal with, and obviously just a very powerful position in general.
So I want a good position now, but in transition, yeah.
Little sketchy.
There's the windows broken.
Utilities out the both sides.
And now it's demons turn to have a little bit of fun.
Yeah, he's certainly going to have a little bit of fun as just a little bit just a little bit indeed
Okay, staring. Yeah, he couple kills between him
I'm going to see Stargett taking down on the ramp here by the lounge
Yeah, he wants to lock them with almost one wide open
And he'll take his kill on loungs and it back up to the bottom of the back
So
43 seconds left. Yeah, he can really hope to do with the bomb not in his possession and the HP left at five probably not a whole lot
Well, you know, I actually, I mean, he could choose to just save this if he eventually gets your point on what's just about it.
I mean, he's going to have money no matter what. So I think he wants to go for kills.
But if it ends up that way, up the worst thing in the world.
Yeah, he's still searching.
22 seconds.
I really get many clean looks.
The league has been spotted.
It's time to treat this whole in the angle.
Now, good win.
And packed full kill.
Surely not another.
Yeah, well, ties down.
The fact that he got that so cleanly is massive.
It seconds.
Seconds left. He's worried about the double doors that is the single door that will cost him his life
He needs the power
Oh my god, you have to be able to pull it off that is huge
Just a headshot the last second he allows for some humor in it
That is around yabby should not be winning by 5 HP one shot one chance any happy is a cold killer get them out
Get them out yabby's done with this series. He doesn't want to be eliminated today
a fact-breaking clutch to happen so early on, five health, no information, and drills the
shot.
Oh, that really sums everything up right now, Australia's on a run.
Everything is just going this way, yeah, be.
You can do no wrong, 11 and 2, when hell of a start, you just can't really stop him right
Now, and this is something you were mentioning yesterday, a positive that we've seen from us as
Strawl as is that we have seen Yabby starts to step up as a better performance as coming out of him these days.
I feel like towards this, when he was in that tenure in heroic and we were one of the best teams in the world, Yabby was kind of like
It's kind of like an a-list or in the way he played. I feel like most of his other teams he's kind of been like the kind of role player.
Yeah, I've got some positions around and I was like, okay, now he's back. Now we're seeing what Yabby can do
I feel very comfortable in that role, as you can see, and throws you waiting up in secret.
Fire is going to sever off that push from the CT side, Juke's was set forward on his
low and so he did have his two teammates behind him, but they couldn't really help out.
So it's an easy kill, and now they keep walking up to his secret, there's an AK waiting
on top of main, and there's a hook see with eyes on secret, so those kills were guaranteed
for his trawlers.
This is going to be around where they keep everybody up unless Lousy can slip away with
one at the end, but six one score line T side nuke. I mean, you got to be feeling great if you're a
shawl is now. Oh, exactly. You win that pistol and you're like, all right, let's ride this, let's
ride this lane for the first four or five rounds. Get that, get that buffer going if we can.
Except now or a straw is this, this wave is just continuing. Just due to that clutch from
the avi, it's just never ending. Really piling it on. When this is happening on your CT side
nuke, because you know in the back of your head how difficult. I mean, yeah, it's evened up a
little bit, but you know how difficult T side can get from time to time. It's it's worrying.
It's red flags at the moment for foot.
Monks are just praying to grab the kill and the life will close it out, but I'm gonna happen.
You have to again with another 12 kills total for you now on the map.
Getting quieter as the series has gone on.
chance for Culeo to have a timeout and talk things over the first time he'll be involved in these conversations.
We'll see if he can reinvigorate foot to provide some resistance, get some stopping power stuff,
letting, subletting, Astralis have access to secret. Actually, you've done pretty good jobs
that enough some traps downstairs with your low buys earlier.
The problem now again, that experience I mentioned that I don't really lean within these third and deciding maps.
The straws is moving around the map, getting some control, waiting, just playing some basic counterstrek, but the inexperience of foot there, they're peaking and they're playing right into the hands of the strawless at the moment.
Yeah, feet.
Yep.
We go yabby, getting into the height.
Ooh, just about finding a safe little corner here where the fire hasn't completely spread to it.
and the straws getting a couple of extra mallet knobs and a few more flashbangs.
Right.
Throw into the mix and they get even more difficult to deal with.
Lovely T-Side being called and worked by Huxie and the straws.
I guess one place we could take this is to go back to, you know, kind of what we talked about
with the, you know, foot having that 100% win rate, talk about who they'd actually defeated.
I haven't had the computer against the team on this, on this stature.
I mean, I know that this is a new roster and everything, but with the experience and how much
how long these guys have been playing.
The protocols, the drills, all cleaner on the Astralis side.
Demon eventually goes down with that ADVP and it just keeps getting worse, that whole
keeps getting deeper.
7-1.
And you have so many rounds like this where you're gonna have to play when we're
guns and it's not going to feel like we're better to get to keep the M4 A1A but everybody
else on. If the P9s are 5-7s, start if you like the end of the row here and crack off
four foot east boys. This is the shame that they've looked good, they looked better and better,
but yeah, hitting the wall here against the Strollers. We'll have to take some lessons out of this
one if this continues. Long's going to push up. It wants to be aggressive. It's spot the
the information drops a smoke and backs away.
At least get to away with his life.
That's the last piece of utility available for foot
on the CT side.
So everything here from them is consact holding angles.
I think a lot of this too, the result
is under the early force by that they tried to come back in
and force the situation.
metric and throw your economy into chaos and now you're in the cycle of
hizer. It's not netting you utility when you're going for these
half-five watts to ever so so hard to get yourself in an
abandoned fight with a weaker weapons. Good wind from
lounge, but not going to do anything with the follow-up.
Still 2v3 for a chance, but it's surely certainly have the
advantage in the scenario. Yeah, he's going to move to a single
to a single door of Juke's just moved in the highest and that's an AK picked up as well.
So Jerks now has an AK-47 to play with, it's going to move off that squeaky position.
Just as Juke sees now arriving into man with Ryuu on his head.
Are we trying to be a little sound to you, Frank?
Grand back towards Radio, comes back towards Hot.
I think they were too far away to actually hear it to be sold by that fake regardless
now they're going to be high-spield towards Hot and Squeak Door.
Yeah, Plan comes in.
Look at Ryuu walking at the wall.
I think they must know.
They're just waiting. Okay, Ryze is kept walking forward. Jugs are welcome that so it's hook see in the clutch
Could they keep to pay it up? Can they get himself a four-k. Oh my god a few wraps around them
I'm gonna go the way
Oh, he just waits here. We're like time now. Here's them in the side already. So hook see
I silenced the middle one view one fights. It's now jugs. Who's just sticking it? It's gonna be 10 seconds. Who's he's not buying it? He's not going for that peak
Oh, he's him off. Who's him off of it? Who's he one of the kill he kept him off the deep to you? But now there's no time
And Huxie's warning, Fuxie is one of the rocks here for a shawl, as A to one, he even gets the chill at the cherry on top.
I will ask you them questions of what they're trying to do. Very nice there as well.
Yeah, politely, respectfully. Like a gentleman. The gentleman that he is.
You know what? You can be obviously going to catch them.
Flock for how we decided to find out, I'm not going to do that.
This is a position now where I think the eight experiences really at the forefront where we haven't actually seen it.
Now getting battered like this when deciding that I think everyone mentally is a little bit lost on the foot side of things
Yeah, it's uh winner of this goes on to play against the winner of Fury vs. No, he would just turn the on-going as well
So they top-up opponent awaits for that spot in the playoffs
But Astralis started getting into some really good form here at the end of the series
Who's he with an opening kill advantage starting now for Stralis and Corbetti? He's just looking for a kill outside here looking up towards Silo
I think the opportunity is the second way of smokes to be for a Stralis.
This time they get a place stare towards Secret with him.
Stralis just playing so comfortably controlled in the map in five on five's now with a man advantage
than just a supremely powerful position.
Stralis challenging down towards Secret starting to move.
Nobody from foot has rotated to cover the gap in the lower bomb site.
bombsite, you've got one player demon over and ramp.
Corbany, not gonna read the ramp play.
Goes up towards heaven, but now sound cues.
You won't be here in time, so it's all on demon.
Yeah, demon pure into the corner.
Yo, just walk on our riot will fall.
Corbany goes into the next fight.
This time, you have to find success.
And the peak into the ramp room, demon, okay.
Get some top, but double a K.
Switched out to that Alcosm is life in the bomb,
can I once again be picked up by Hooksy?
And they can actually meet up over at heaven.
Yes, there can clear the South Hooksy
can start pressing forward if they want to.
They've gotten both kills, one in reference,
one is the rotating player.
Upper bombs that is gonna be where this finishes,
and foot is still just chasing the tail of Astralis,
so gonna be out of position.
Oh, I've got one on the side.
There's a plane committed to for Hooxy.
There's some of the back,
something grenade is walking.
A jooks, waiting, and Stair will fall off the ladder,
putting Hokesy in the clutch again is gonna do it to him one more time. Let's find out.
Think it for nine to one. Hokesy burned forward. He's got no way to hide and they
took him to my chance. His lounge won't shut to the right side. Hokesy nearly got there at
time. Yeah, he actually almost had that one, but nice you tell the usage taken away all
the space that Hokesy had to work with. He just seems too bothered to upset by it at all.
No. Yeah, be given a little face like whatever. Time out called by Raga for a
strawless. So they'll have a little chitchat at the tail end of the half. It's eight to two.
So little bit of life, but the best you can hope for if your foot is just
straight together a few extra routes for breathing room in the second half to kind of give you a pistol on buffer and I guess that's the conversation here for rug
It's just like let's prevent the yeah, I'm having you know
But I would hate to win these last two rounds of the half. Yeah, I mean look at everyone
You play as long as some of these guys happen as long as rug has been coaching you've lost some pretty unloosable games at some point
So everyone has that awareness. I know it's eight to two. I know it's feeling really good right now guys
But this can change on a heartbeat. So let's just put them away
Stop committing now. Good these last two rounds set them off the bed time
time. Time out comes to a close. Demon does his best. I does lovely work. Yabby and
Boons is at their time to turn that corner and go for the trade kill. So, Demon is
able to set his feet again. So, good win. First time in a long time, that's something
to yell about round 11.
Alright, two rounds.
The work with, that's was on the table here for footage,
but it's got a fine hard to get,
and if drop through to the low half health already.
the
winner of the series will go on to play the
winner of Navi Furia taking place on the other stream that will be in the lower bracket final of the debate
determine a quarter finalist in the playoffs and I am crack out tomorrow
tough opponent either way
I'm just gonna get into the smoke, gonna keep walking up towards credit card,
the fatty about the swipe it, and he will.
Into the AK, right you, nice hunt, good reaction, just across over the ice spot,
just the right time, 35 seconds remaining around.
The bomb towards secret stairs, gonna somehow maneuver that to the bomb site.
Okay, well, that's the bomb drop.
Yeah, that's some of trees first for I get a map as well if I you can get some standing up in heaven
This round could still change. Oh, there's the shot right to the face of demon. It knows one more has been neat heaven as well
They're for a CT backfire now jumpy in there's ya be a really boy train
Test that just just enough time to get that ball into the site. Oh, it's all down the troops go at the back
And yeah, be wins on a limitation man. This guy is so clutch
You can be happy at 50-50 right now. He's going to win at each and every time the feels like he's just got a hot hands
Well done from you happy a good trading their way in and the straw us yet again have all the answers
It's that strong position from rye you up in heaven. He does a fantastic job
Being a presence clearing out some of the defenders in that area and allowing that upper pumps
I hit the come to fruition
9 to 2 now is 7 round lead it's suffocating
We're all looking for double figures, and once we're working full then it's being
this upper bomb side take a chance.
So, here they go.
Outside, thanks folks.
They're looking with him and talking about trying to crush them on the A bomb side.
And that's exactly what Hokesie has done.
Herkueway and F-Bird in the last round of his half.
But then demons starts to deliver some kills right back.
What?
He told us, oh, he's doing what he can't hear.
The bomb is loosened up planet, but eventually,
it comes in to end the crazyness that was happening
in a final few seconds.
It is domination from a straw as looking like
they're gonna stay alive here in crackle
and knock out food.
Okay, back, ladies and gentlemen, look and do it here for a show as to stay alive and
Crack off for these boys we're seeing that inexperienced
couple who start to show on a big way
of cracking onto the pressure and I hope
see is giving them the business.
I think inexperienced specifically on the new
because well not necessarily general and
experience of like matches of this
statue but it just not new.
They just see like it protocols
the upper-bondside players are always blind.
It's all sides weren't the memory models
and it has just protocols didn't seem to be there.
So new just seems like a map at the moment.
At least in this glimpse we just had now
Not in the re-house whatsoever.
Pretty crazy turn of events.
The Strauss is just destroying them.
And now getting to play on the defensive side with an eight round lead.
Three rounds away from a limited input from I.M. Crack off.
Making the way to that lower bracket final for a chance in the playoff.
Oh, oh, oh my god, Huxy has turned into the star player.
We had that skit earlier on and it was actually just coming true.
He is just a star now.
Worked to really well for Huxy.
first two kills get away of his trawlers at least one trade comes back he looks surprised when he
hit their shots his face is his face cam has eyes went wide yeah well you'll take it at this point
well dropping around heaven is demon and pistol robber put this one to bad you would imagine
demon climbing up through heaven no one home see anybody up that
under minute on the clock
A straw is I mean there's only two things to be upper bomb setter secret a straw says control on us figured out the rest of the map
Well ball plant secure put down in the back that
Fuzi opens the door just looking for information looking for any peaks that come in he's got the gush and cemetery as well
So he's gonna have to talk in with two HP
Oh, Crabetti, dude, what he can, he will be overrun here by Ryu, is Fuzi come to this wall with those jewel barrettes.
We're not looking at demon laughter.
The four over from heaven and destroyed by Yappy, so only a single kill goes back.
And I think Huxi knows that they've got this one in the back.
No, Huxi's kind of, you guys have to see the shot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're watching this back after this game.
Yeah, you guys are going to be talking about my one-sats.
Got to hide from self-up in these moments.
That's okay.
Oh, yep, that's pretty good.
That's too loud.
And new reaction.
That just dropped.
Oh, I hope see.
Well, throw away the cannon to this.
Now we talked about this.
Second round, Jason.
Yep.
He's going to happen.
I feel kind of with this one.
I don't think so.
I think at this point, this point, it seems gone.
I'm glad seeing them kind of just like,
I have some fun with the fact we're getting
to a certain extent at this point. I think, you know, this could be a miserable experience,
and there's gonna be plenty of time for misery after this, but in the moment, yeah, you got to give some credit.
You just got right by hooksy. What are you gonna do?
Mac10 challenging stairs. He's just around a little bit too long. It still wins out on the fight.
Reloads, nobody else there with longs to create that space and trade that kill.
So at range, DM4, not gonna win that duel, but still firmly control the straw as thus fall.
I'm gonna go out there, and there's your relatives who take it away, so yeah, it feels like just a few minutes away.
And I mean, you want to talk about as this game comes to a close, like the positives that we've seen from Astralis.
Like, still looking solid, I think here they got away in map number two.
There's very easily could have been them being eliminated in two maps.
They got away with some due to the mistakes, but I like seeing Ryube play like this on this map
He sees felt like as the series has gone on he's got a little bit more comfortable
He's starting to flex a little bit more starting to go for some plays and look for some fights
Obviously the big one is Yavie and his performance. I still love seeing it at the moment
I love seeing a research of Yavie. You got another rush that things
What are the deep things Jason? Oh, oh, we got hooked in. Yavie shutting it all down in a show us with a great job done here
The third and final map they will stay alive in Poland
to change, to, and, Crabetti, it's just a formality to go far through these final
few motions.
Who do you support?
So you're giving us a great show in this event so far, though.
I've liked what I've seen out.
I think everyone's been pleasantly surprised and impressed, and obviously this series has
got away with them, and I think Nuke is just then being knocked off their game and knocked
out of this very, very early on that Yabby clutch happening around 5 or 6, and it was like,
oh, are you going to recover from that one now?
But other than that, yeah, I think everyone is super impressed with the foot, it's going to be fun to watch as they've gained so many VRS points, hopefully it gains some invites to events down the road coming in the near future.
It's going to be interesting how it seems continued to kind of evolve their playstyle against them.
Like I think like it's been a lot of fun watching for Benny, but I think that's going to start being a little more difficult for him to have as much impact being kind of the nuisance medicine proactive player disruptive player that he's been here at this event.
People are eventually going to start saying, well,
Corbany is kind of a psychopath.
He's always peeking something.
He's ready to go through a smoke.
He's going to be aware of that and more on top of watching
for those plays.
So I think it's going to be fun seeing them have to kind of
build and evolve their game to get around that as teams
get accustomed to preparing for them.
Yeah, well, it's given us an exciting show regardless.
To be full opposed by here, Thomas Schrollis,
looking to claim what is theirs, which is this best gift
to re-victory and survival in Cract惑,
Reliefs on the faces of Australia's major sweat throughout that definitely chances throughout that second map as well
that they could have been eliminated that they find their game just in time and they make sure that
Nuke was going nowhere but the way of Australia's yeah kept things close enough overpass was really as long
It was really tough for them but kept things close to be able to capitalize on the opportunities when they present themselves and doing a good job of doing exactly that
I like the call from books. Yeah new course. We got to this map
They just switched on calling was there individual prowess was there. They were never going to be stopped
I'm a third in deciding map. So we'll come from a straw us to move on to that lower bracket final
They've got a chance at the inaugural I am crack out of playoffs
Which is lovely for the organization of their history
So you're going to be really tough to Jason you're going to be playing against your own fury
And yeah, very tough to point it because I lose in trust and see what level of shots will get to in that game
But you know doing what they can at this point getting through for eSports
But I think we've heard that snack yesterday talked about being in a press about who
see structure and how quickly he's got this team together.
I think general everyone should just be pretty impressed with how quickly these come together
here for the squad.
You know, it looks like the statement of the like, you know, I can actually think about
this team in a different sense now that it feels like there's an actual future to it.
And you know, the last team, it felt like that last lineup, it didn't feel like there wasn't
the first and the second, the future, but I felt like no one believed that that was going
to have, there was places that could go long-term.
Like when you watch them play, it felt like there wasn't new things being added.
There wasn't like a new energy being involved as players felt more comfortable with each other.
Just kind of felt like going through the motions.
This one feels like they're building towards something at the moment.
Yeah, building towards something and certainly that's the case for those of us.
Well, that'll be building towards something.
You may not be the main characters of this event, but maybe in the future.
And that's what we're looking forward to with so these sports.
A couple of these players.
I'm sure this project will be sort of broken apart at some point in pieces with no elsewhere.
But that's kind of the fun part of them, right?
Is there was an opportunity for this project to be broken up in this previous offseason?
And they all turned down the offers to remain with the team and kind of keep this going,
which is why there's a certain excitement, they're certain like fun to seeing them succeed
because we want to see that kind of story come to that conclusion.
But that only lasts so long.
At some point, if you're not getting the results and not making the improvement,
then those offers to go elsewhere actually start having it impact.
So yeah, they've given themselves this year.
Basically, we've got 20, 26 now to see what we can do after these two to three years together.
Well, look at forward to it.
Look forward to seeing more of our foot.
but for a flawless, it's, it's, it's staying alive and that's the most important point.
And so we get to go down to the sidelines and hear from the squads after this matchup.
A star list lives to fight another day after an insane series.
Honestly, although Nuke was, I guess, a little bit more straight forward.
Tell me about the last map I heard here I, you from the, the boys.
Oh, that was a little easy, wasn't it?
Yeah, I mean, the for sure we had a lot of struggles on the first map.
I think we came into the game kind of slow in terms of we didn't really,
we were kind of, no, they were doing, but we were just, like, we pre-planned what they were doing,
but we were just not ready in the game. So, I guess we were kind of safe here because here,
but I think that after the first step we had really good talk and we kind of woke up, let's see
on the second map and then the third map we had the good plan. We also understood how they're playing
of course and I think our plan just worked well. It definitely did to go back to what you said about
after Mirage because I heard from a little spy that Raga was really going in on you guys.
Can you tell me some of the specific things that he said, listen, you really need to fix this
if you want to win this series? I mean, I don't think it was that harsh, but like, I mean,
you just said, what is it, you know, that like we wouldn't play well and that it's a
combination game, so like it really matters, so yeah, I mean, he just woke us up and that's it.
Yeah, and it was necessary and it paid off.
Tell me a little bit about how you're feeling on the server.
It seems like you're growing game per game,
but this is a very intense environment, of course.
I think it's fine.
Some games are inconsistent, like, for example,
on Raj, like as a team and like in the region,
like I think it was pretty rough as you could see,
but I think that we have a lot of good conclusions after the game
and between them, and I think that helps us a lot,
because also everyone is pretty open-minded,
and I think around the exclusives of the well in the team.
So it always helps when it's like that.
That's great to hear.
Can I ask you how things are going with Huxie as an IGL?
Also, maybe the things you shouting sometimes,
can you just hear him going off?
But I guess he's still calling good as well?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, he's definitely good.
Like a lot of good things.
I think Greg, Greg, a lot of things in game.
It's a pretty nice one, like you kind of have a, you understand that you kind of
have a ideal who always has your back or like who trust you.
So I think in terms of that, it's really nice to play with him.
That's awesome.
Congratulations.
We'll see you, of course, tomorrow as well as you go on to fight another day.
And I will go over to the other side because where there are winners, unfortunately.
There are also teams that haven't made it.
Ha, hello, longs.
I, my commiserations, it's been such an incredible pleasure to see you play, but what do
you think went wrong?
Why did you run out of steam on you?
I'm in to be honest, I think it came from the overpass one, it started like kind of choking
us off to be honest, like we had not that we didn't have answers, but I think we were just
in a pressure situation right, I mean it's the first tournament like big tournament, I'm
not going to consider the China one, it's a big tournament compared to this one, but
I mean it's just about the experience, right?
It's about the mentality and it will come with every event we play.
It's not like from the first big-time-time event
we're going to be the best we're going to smash everyone.
And even if I've lost, I think we had such a great run.
Like I played for already six years in my life
and I've never had such a deep run in such a good tournament.
Like with so many insane memories and moments already,
I can just have flashbacks going on in my head, right?
So we just need to look at positives, we're a very young team.
It's as I said our first as tire tournament and there's much more to come much more at all than even now
I feel lost. It's not end of the world. That's a career. You go up and down up and down. I've seen it all my life
Oh, that's so great to hear. There's something you've said in interview while ago
It was I want to be for these guys what people weren't for me, right?
Yeah, final words for like the fans of fit also and the young guys that believe in you and I believe in each other
I'm in for the fans. I think thank you for all the support
But especially to the Romanian ones because I've had a very rough career in my young years.
And yet the guys, like I said, when I was young, I didn't have like mature guys.
I mean, I had mature guys, but not in specific ways.
Like, and when stuff was going bad, no one could like take the sheep and stay in a good
right.
And me being the young one, I was putting very tough situations and I didn't know how to handle
it.
And now I'm telling the guys, like, what to avoid, what not to avoid, how to work on, like,
mentally stuff.
This is what means the most to us is, you know, like you can be talented, you can be hard worker, but in the end it comes down to this
If you don't have this here, it's pointless.
It is a wonderful speech.
Thank you so much for speaking to me and I'm looking forward to all that you will do in the future
And I think I can speak for the castors as well on that front back to you.
Absolutely, great to have an interview there with Lungs and great to look into his mentality
mentality because you know back in you know the years that we got to see from him starting out. I think that was a conversation around him was like
I love to be a bit of a telltale to mentality can be a little bit weak perhaps
But you know obviously that's long gone is matured and great
I take it into the positive. I take it into the presence where you you have a player
I mean that's essentially like his explanation of why he's doing so much yelling within the team because he has realized through the own mistakes and struggle
She's gone through a leader's career in the team's that he's been on how important having that mentality is within the team
especially during a live game.
So yeah, yelling seems a little bit silly sometimes,
seems a little bit crazy.
It's criticized a lot for it,
but he knows more than anything
that yelling helps improve the mentality
within the team which help improve his chances to win.
So he doesn't care, he's going to yell.
And I think it's cool to see a player talk like that.
I like hearing that it along,
especially for someone who early stages career
had a lot of potential where really hyped for hasn't
gotten all those opportunities as he alluded to in the interview.
Yeah, absolutely.
So I'm glad they've got this team.
And hopefully they came to progress coming into this year.
I mean, they've got such great signs.
I think Corbetti in particular is the gold and center of that all.
Oh, absolutely.
And with some of the wins that they have throughout this event
and through the last couple events, the VLS points
that gained along the way, pretty crazy.
So that's, we could see here,
Group A upper bracket G2 team spirit,
get it be playing in that upper bracket,
final of the determined assembly final placement in the playoffs
or a quarter final placement in those playoffs.
And this is the lower bracket of Group A, Furia,
did end up beating Navi as we were watching
Astralis taking on foot.
So it's Charlottes Furia going to be facing off in that lower bracket as well for the other quarter final spot of Group A.
Well, we've got team Vitality Aurora deciding who's going to the semi-shoo's going to the quarter finals all of a sudden Aurora a good again Jay.
Yeah.
Kind of on a run right now they're too short out of tune.
Yeah, it's back.
It's helping them out big time.
It also just stepped it up.
They beat Miles to zero.
Great result.
Someone is not really playing all that great.
It's team Falcons.
They've been going up against 3D Max.
They just about got the win over at our G,
who definitely give them a real tough time today.
It's on today.
That's awesome.
The first man, but that's true.
Give me if you're Falcons.
When you go to the 3D Max Damage,
we can't have an at that level of Falcons.
So we have to deliver here.
So facing the other side of things, you know,
so looking forward to seeing more of the games
that we've got.
We've got Males phase.
It feels like we get that game quite a lot.
But we've got it again.
Here are 236 kicking things off.
That's going to be fun.
I think that's that's a really interesting one.
It's a lot of pressure on both teams.
You have a lot of expectations.
Phase having made the grand final of the last major.
Males being essentially a top three team for the entirety
of 2025.
one of them is going to go out and we've got 3D Max Falcons. One of them is going to go home as well.
Interest to see how that's going to go down. I mean Falcons should come into this as favorites,
but the way they play today is just like, oh, I don't, it's just, you can't fully be confident right now.
Falcons will be favorites, but we also have to recognize that Falcons have no floor to speak of, really.
You know, it's like, yeah, like that can actually just drop off and just not be their hedonic existence.
So that's the scary thing is, you know, the peakest higher, but the floor is lower.
Exactly, we'll find out how all of that shakes out tomorrow to find out there the group stages at the Intel Extreme Masters Crack off
2026 tomorrow. We'll see who's heading to the playoffs. Who's going to the semi-souce going to the corners?
We saw that a lot tomorrow to make sure you join us with that action
You say only me, since the 80-20 times.
Ah!
What the hell?
I'm not a blackie champion in my heart.
Black does not demand to rub the muffles on the dreams.
There's a tension in my mind.
It's because I'm in my mind.
There were companies come that I went out for too many.
There's a bad human.
Soon you'll be the greatest on my generation.
I'm the nation that's doing.
By the fire, you will study.
And under the terrals we turn on the story.
I'm sorry, I spoke from the edge of the very power
I learned how to shine in your arms, dynamite
I'm fine!
Stand by it through the time that the city lights
Your will never come into the dream of you
I'll come from the rest of the world
Now it will be all the other
No, I'm not the time for my side of life
Stand by it through the time that the city lights
Your will never come into the dream of you
I'm going to die.
Short breeze, momentous.
Latter cheers, butterfly fountains.
Big dreams, never bigger ladders.
It ain't where the scenes from the outset.
Put their prey, put their brains around.
Give them the truck, and press them up.
And their dreams are never going to be gone.
The Intel Extreme Master's Crack-off in 2006 brought to you by ESL, partnership with Intel,
Aceer predator, E-A-Jell, Zow, Jets, and City of Carmel.
We are going to take the three seconds.
I'm so lucky for the number one.
At least, it's the champion of the two-ton-office three-and-a-half.
No, five-office.
I'm sure it's still there.
Don't even see it.
He's going to take the strike.
There are three seconds left.
That's too round.
I'm sure he's going to start the two-ton-office.
We're just in the next kill, he will kill him!
She'll kill me!
And I've got to die!
I'm destroyed!
I'm gonna leave a more room,
when they fall and settle back free!
Over the last hit, I've been killed again!
And I've got to die!
I've got to die!
Give it up for your game, Joe!
I'm destroyed, Master!
Can you remember that?
Oh, sir.
I've been calling for you.
I just don't need you, baby.
I've been calling for you.
I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna shed a cry
I'm gonna shine here
I'm gonna burn this baby
I'm gonna shed a cry
I feel like I'm okay
Can you hear my love all the same?
I'm falling high for you
But the time is done and it's free
It'll feel better
