CS:GO - Astralis vs. Natus Vincere [Dust2] Map 1 - Semifinals - IEM Katowice 2020

oh boy I cannot wait for this one dust two to kick it off as well we got a great map Paul na'vi have proven themselves on this map and I want to see more of that action from simpol I have to say the clutches were just remarkable yesterday we'll get into a bean here from na'vi we haven't seen this before in their pistol rounds they normally Focus towards long as we talked about so many times before one of the strongest B bombsite anchors Magis Waits at the platform he's got three players with the bomb on their back ready and waiting as he holds that USP they are going to challenge him and do quite a lot of damage there he's ready and willing to take these fights suppressing bullets are missed simple's gone down Molotov is not forcing his fight immediately finally it was Perfecto and flamy to enter the site a chance presenting itself Perfecto second frag and now comes the third just onto zipx one ver two great stuff there from na'vi they lost the first couple of frags but they've now got themselves a two-on-one Advantage though up against one of the world's best clutches is zipx no kits but 100 HP and armor available to him you can see the kit there available in front of the door needs to find his first kill quickly makes a sound q and at this point Crossfire set up na'vi should have the advantage here reaction shot not quite going to hit boom Mitch he's trying to get the info keep flamy tucked in the corner he's the one that's low now the smoke is deployed and a bullet to the Dome he's got one HP to work with that should be enough but perhaps not catches one it has to be precise What tap so close the ear of bomit bleeding but it's the round for na'vi very close there down to one HP from the first interaction but he's still had a chance he brings it right back to the one versus one picks up the kit the smoke was deployed but it was a little bit too much to handle there it is going to the force by the second round here's the first kill we didn't quite catch that c towards the double doors in middle but boomid leading the Char he's had a fantastic tournament so far really enjoying what he's been displaying time and time again gets better and better every single map it seems as we'll send four players towards long of the St going to try to get his nades through the boage is already out takes quite a lot of damage that's simple down to 55 one player crosses towards the blue bin and the dropped to the floor there by Simple gal yeah Zex wants to try and take this fight BL jiggling the corner as well does get tagged down to 50 But continuing his Advance bomit leads by example a spearhead of the assault towards long and it's connected a barbed head as well cuz taking na'vi out of this position is going to be painful perhaps not drii he has the answer onto the first boich leaving a lot of the pressure and that nade should confirm things yeah I think you might be right there Alex magisk left in the three versus One spotted towards short they don't need to challenge at this point drop the molotov get that bomb planted and that's going to be the force by push back nice open plant as well no way he's going to be diffusing this bomb and he might just want to hold on to the deagle and armor and see if he can find an exit kill here na'vi love to focus on long we've seen it a couple of times now and uh this one works out for them very well indeed managing to get the AK out first kill comes in for boomid manages to finish things off with a couple there and they going to have three players survive here may just will hold towards the long doors hope for the best but that's going to be it to talk about that that Mind Games in Counter Strike as well while mesk holds on to his deagle you know you had zic talking to Frankie saying 12 to 18 hours I don't know much about them in you know in real life but I've got them in the game that's 18 hours of preparation he was suggesting for this opponent and then the Mind Games come in we know they go long we know that long is navi's thing now you come into the semi-final and that's that's the question will they do it again you have this 4D chess happening now where blade can say do something different and can completely RI that preparation away from aralis but it is so interesting to see the decisions made way before the game has even begun yeah if I'm na'vi right now I'm doing those long takes but I'm not committing all five people I'm taking the control taking the vision away from the CTS and I'm falling back to those mids splits just to keep them guessing and uh it's going to be round number three here has to be the full Eco pretty much for aralis P250 USPS that save deagle if they get a couple of kills that'll be a success in its own right but na'vi don't need to overcommit to this they've gone for the long control again all five players committed we talked about this many times throughout the tournament once you have got all five players towards the long position you do have to operate pretty quickly as we'll see them actually fall back now so they've got the long control not going to be fully committing just yet we've got one player back towards t-spawn that's simple looking for any rotating players towards the double doors made this with the desert eagle has armor as well the only one that can really do anything about this simple left to his own devices in Middle he'll be making sure there's no CT flanks the sters have been very restrained with this one the armor deag on Magis is they really the only option they have for damage the P250 for D PR but yeah na'vi you can see not taking any chances and the perfect weapon for the job Electronics GRE he's struggling and Magis isn't phenomenal connection with his Desert Eagle but there's a lot more where that came from now a bottle of flame fills the floor boich going swinging wide the crossair placement looks fantastic for Magis but no goes down bomit takes a bit of a wound but that was was the threat from aralis gone well that's going to be the round completed M does get one nice shot but that's about it zipx left of the USP towards short and money looking very good for na'vi here haven't given up much in the last couple of rounds zipx should be dealt with momentarily as the final HED comes through clean tweet for na'vi so far 3-0 Here Comes our first gun round device has more than enough for the awp and we've watched them a few times on Dust two recent time so we do know D pre lik to get that secondary or out as well won't be able to come online in this first gun round but we have got device AR and the awp will more conservative of his cash than the others and we'll see the or simple as why I didn't expect to see it so early but here it comes Ted Waring yeah one player going down and there was them to bring it out and why not simple as an absolute monster with the weapon especially on this particular map smokes down towards double doors and Xbox very standard stuff so far waiting for an aggressive round from the CT side if they're going to set the tone dictate the pace in round number four here all very quiet for now though no real long Pleasant in CTS either to be Arris falling back dropping the smoke and actually repositioning towards middle expecting one of these mid to be splits I'd assume a boost towards this box here GLA will go up or zipx so that does allow you to look over the CT spawn smokes it's a very common pre-fire but can be a very powerful position device given the difficult task here with the awp towards sha they've already got past his cross a he might not be aware of it yeah and that's nerve-wracking he has nobody in support as well if he goes down short is lost I think he's worked it out as he sees utility realizes he's better off holding from long side he was alone on the site now tucked in on the all to predictable Corner often flashed and so it's all down to his own read on the game and the communication from his teammates as to when he's required to take that fight here narvi yeah quite frantic com yeah the second smoke design to eradicate or that hasn't landed though looked like it was on the Fly not the lineup I was expecting device now he's starting to get a tingle he knows it's about time for him to strike gets the first back was turned of bomit and now tucked in on elevator but it's not looking particularly uplifting na'vi dwindling at 15 seconds the bomb will go down that's flamy making sure that happens but in the meantime the leader of n'i is now gone three players remaining for this defense yeah australa staying very calm in this situation they got a five on three lead here up against these gills but simple is alive with the awp now we know what he can do with disadvantages of this sort of weapon nice first kill coming in from flamy but it's a trade trade from long strike and simple now has been painted into a corner oh wow what a shot without his the quick scope delivers but the G is not going to be quite enough arras do Post their first round here two kills coming in from device now miss smoke towards the CT boxes at that point it's designed to actually take Vision away from thece didn't quite land you can see actually a lot of vision no flashes in his face manages to hit the first shot they get a couple of kills and they've recovered a double or setup as well you assume they'll be thrown into the hands of dpri here who seems to be getting better and better with the sniper rifle as time goes on historically not known to be a team with a double op set up but now it's looking fantastic and it's about time it really does work out for them very well yeah what a treat it is to have a potent double or to fall back into and the even more of a treat to be gifted and picking up an or into your what fifth round of play we do see a timeout called early Hank I think you can put away the stress I think I can they you've learned their lesson they've realized that these big games you've got a very experienced and tenur in-game leader behind you uh why not use him he's got this experience at a high level the big stage you've got players like Perfecto who are not used to this environment as well to slow things down make sure everyone's on the same page even if it's just from moral support at this point it's calm everyone down we heard quite frantic coms towards the end of the previous round yeah blade of course in his interview ahead of this one he says we know how Australis play everyone does and we can beat them he had that confidence into this game but of course I mean you would have to you would expect to and execution is a very different matter looks like we're ready and willing to jump into round five yet timeout has elapsed and so back into The Fray round five map one of our second semi here in Cavita here we go then round five indeed all for simple Perfecto with the ma 10 a very exciting weapon especially this tournament had some amazing moments call the G2 game you saw Amic taking multiple players down it almost every single round we'll see zipx with the MP9 towards the mid doors he heard the steps he know he called one doors he's there to babysit Dupri who did get flashed off the line wasn't able to hold the cross to Xbox for now he's responsible middle short will be taken very little damage taken early here by na'vi and that's worth noting considering just how powerful asus's CT utility can be so bomb down towards top and middle right now but they have obtained short dpri doesn't overc commit towards the mid peak very difficult angle to challenge especially the flashbangs and smokes being delivered in that area glaive can be happy to hold on by himself now teammate throws a smoke down for him he still has an H holds close to the doors as na'vi start to posture up towards Shore we know they've got the execution they didn't quite land in the previous round you want to have the two smokes one on the catwalk wall itself and then down towards the CT boxes landing on top of them just to remove vision from device IDE see if they can nail her this time 45 seconds remain Perfecto watching up a B for any potential flanks this is the It's relatively telegraphed they throw the bait smoke then they do their execute it's the same as before let's see if the smoke Land This Time towards CT and device hasn't hit the shot he did before drii instead draws blood Perfecto's Mac 10 is connected on the loose variable of zipx they're falling back and they're pushing through b already Magis giv some tons d by the door he has to hit a no scope the nade has done something but simple through the doors and electronic qu unawares knife out two versus three with 15 seconds left they're charging in towards B Magis he's going to get there in time I think no already flam's found cover and simple he could find this shot it's so quick na'vi have this round in the B it's a long and rather tumultuous Road for glaive to get towards those doors he's got to get past simples cross te and he doesn't miss he doesn't miss many and that's going to be three kills in the round for him device now will have to save the awp the last round wasn't as clean as they had liked they did save two awps but only a couple of players surviving he will fall back and na'vi have done it once again a convincing a execution there falling back knowing they had the rotations and that point making their way up towards B it looked like was a chance of ma scell he did a very good play pushing towards those tunnels cutting them off towards middle but simple give him an opportunity he'll more than likely hit the shot every single time manages to get three he's carrying them through this rounds once again as flamy and simple Will Survive device keeps up the or but money isn't great on the CT side might be a timeout for them this time see dpri on 4,000 mes 34 might just have to be the partial Buy around the awp with a boost towards short perhaps for device maybe he goes in anus towards B let see what they've got in mind here will bring out the CZ here's the replay of simple just of course straight through the doors that was the quick shot that saved the day another fasten towards glaive he's just getting warmed up here Alex looks scary out there it's the speed by which he's finding these frags that that makes him just look different in those replays unbelievably fast duri is considering something rather cheeky but simple ready and waiting somewhat of a standoff dpri has the advantage if they actually inquire That's The Power of his position you walk out suicide you jiggle towards the doors Dupri has a real good shot at you so against these pistols and partial buys na'vi do favor this long position but device he's on the a side right now plenty of players in front of him and in terms of execution from this position you can double smoke the crossover flash over hit your shots and that's one thing na'vi are very good at indeed Vice will be throwing a defensive smoke just to block vision from the ramp when they do finally commit enables him just to look right down the mouth of long here is such a minuscule Gap to take that Vice first it's the enemy Ora it is simple still in pit both crosshairs staring down the same direction it's just a question of as the smoke Fades who's going to take a little bit of an extra step simple does and he's eliminated the key threat of the round now his team can swarm and they do gaing like Mo to the flame the molotov on the site and it does look good oh until docz only the one a consolation frag as this round is all na'vi yeah really nice play there from na'vi once they got the opening pick they know this going be a scramble to recover the awp good spacing nice trade potential nothing to report in terms of mistakes there really nice play from na'vi this long area really works out for them the Wolfpack mentality making their way through and just eradicating everyone on their path impressive scenes here we were not sure if they're going to have the same sort of game plan with this area of the map but it seems to be working out time and time again so why not so yeah you can see that teams multiple times we've had the luxury of watching na'vi D two you know fresh in our memory absolutely so this is all coming off the top of the dome but we've seen multiple teams over the last two days trying that mid push and it never has quite seemed to throw the spanner you would expect to throw I like this though from na'vi so they're they're presenting the same ideas they're conditioning aralis to have this this presence of Mind there the threat towards long could be a problem for them once you start getting three players towards long to challenge it that's when you're going for your fast mid splits your B rushes you're going to start mixing it up it's looking very good for na in that respect here was the opening pick and you can see them just committing off that straight away before glaive can even stabilize the awp he recovers taken down and do pry he'll get one kill is going to find a couple in those sort of rounds but ultimately Nai with a healthy lead here on the T side of dust two and it's D PRI as the main sniper going for the next round I love it dpri did give it a real hard pause but you just said it Henry you've called it and there's four CTS leaning a they charg down middle and boom already Outdoors that's a very good Flash from glaive yeah so that's exactly it they're trying to put the fear of God into arrus toward that long position so they committed three at the very start flashed off and I dare say it' hit the shot if he wasn't looking towards the angle now GLA walks into his cross a in a lot of trouble but stays reserved doesn't overc commit this round on the knife's edge here terms of the set up they leave zipx to Anchor towards long device backing him up on a and glaive he'll be towards middle but dri he's at the B do now at the window he can actually fall back in make sure he can be assistance to both mist and glaive aralis reacted very quickly after discovering the a the absence of a long threat straight back into their default setup 2 one2 device with the M4 he is rather solo on that ramp and if this utility starts to fall in that Molotov or rather incend does successfully buy them 7 Seconds the t- smokes will be pluming and all of na'vi they do just travel as a pack yeah I love it when you've got this much star potential and aim Stars available to you why not let's get stuck in trade out it's going to be device now no awp the M4 in hand a very difficult weapon to deal with this sort of scenario three players in front of him play will go down device will pull one back he needs at least one more kill and it's the big man waiting for him with the awp device he'll sit in the corner allow them to get the bombs here hoping there's an overcommitment from one player yeah and Zex is there hoping that they lean into his long angle he can't get the trade he's missing his shots and electronic's double could seal the round that's a triple from electronic but Magis does give us an Ode to Kobe and 2v2 simple does easily find the bottom of Magis and two just going to have to scar a preserve the awp nai's tside is looking like a the strangle hold on the Danes at this point yeah it's electronic on his T side and does to he's got to be one of the best AK players on this map he's absolutely insane up towards Shore you just let him off the leash to say we drop some smokes for you get stuck in three more kills found he doesn't miss many shots and that's going to be another prime example of that simple to take down the key frag towards Mages had a slight window of opportunity there but simple takes him out of CT spawn dpri of no choice but to save the or he was anchored towards B hoping they could focus along at the very start of the round but another successful campaign from na'vi here device did well to get one but then electronic gets all the information he needs there scope out manages to get both brilliant work there andala struggling here it's going to be their first time out in terms of loss bonus they will be at the absolute maximum at this point that's $3,400 per player they've saved the orbs they can definitely justify a partial buy here it's going to be Maes with a scout and these are the sort of rounds astralis win at this stage might might need to just to kind of get the wind in their Sals and get going this long take though has just been so difficult to handle n calling a very very good game of Cs so far it has looked relatively Flawless yeah you can see why they like dust do so much you don't need much tactical depth just uh variations of your default an understanding of the fundamentals and the spacing hit your shots and we'll see the first bit of damage exchange that creep with the double doors has been a big talking point the Scout though as well will land towards boom drops him down to 55 as they make the way up towards short here Molotov deployed and long is where Focus D free nails him he's got plenty of time to retreat reposition and redeploy bomb long side but na'vi by no means committing all their resources there and deisy goes walking they catch the CT aggression and both of them fall okay boage that was one hell of a shot that was from T spawn the double doors of the AK-47 one bullet straight to the Dome and du now the bombs on the other side of this smoke if he can find it there's a chance they win in the round one on the clock nice boost towards the blue bin but it might not be enough here but there's the trade again electronic saw the bomb though that's a good point but now the or goes down what can they really do about this they have one player towards a that's Maes there still a minute on the clock they can't guarantee it'll be an a finish at this point zipx will have to hold strong towards B no utility no kits three versus two Perfecto low but it will take one hell of a performance from that Scout to save the day yeah I mean almost a misstep right cuz the chances are it's not going be boom MIT Perfecto taking that first Contact electronic the man with the plan bomb on his back the only player with a full health bar and he will be the one to go in first 27 seconds is starting to get a little too obvious as the molotov comes towards car and Magis he does spot Perfecto out and does connect the bullet this time electronic this is the real Target this is the prize Stag and he only tags him Galloping off now towards the a site yes if EGS if he had a scout of his own might have been able to do something about that bomb planted now there is a chance he wins it a couple of deagle shots could be enough here charges up towards sh flashbang deployed all in moment here for him can he find the first apparently not electronic continues his strong form here another 3K and round number eight there he's going to take his total up to seven and five everyone fragging on the na'vi side of things everyone's hovering around seven or six frags let go to show you that wolfback mentality the group play is really working out for them if everyone hits their shots stays together it's a it's a basic approach here but astrales they're not handling it right now have they sprinkled in enough so that astrales have to second guess when they find First Contact have we se you know because we know they're traveling as a pack astralis are feeling them traveling as a pack but are they doing enough so that astralis don't know what's coming well we saw simple do this a few times yesterday this is the unexpected play he runs through towards mid do you've conditioned them towards long to be so scared of that long push and now simple can look towards CT spawn Perfecto is a great anchor toward these B tunnels and he will be taking down finally ARR showing a bit of aggression here some confidence oh no there's no way they're ready for that hit both of them Magis he's not really sure what's going on his ears are ringing and simple's got his Glock out he's going through the smoke he's feeling himself and mag out simple he's opened up the Beast site solo charges down middle he's got two ORS to work with he can just rock him a Kimbo cuz the sight will be na'vi and the CTS they are shaken the prodical son of C strike I don't know how he does it that's absolutely mental collateral no l he he was so confident I heard them both there I just P my glock out walk in the smoke somehow not even see him find the kill it's just remarkable no one plays Counter Strike like he does and it will be boom to confirm the round here four players surviving on the tside here aralis will have no choice but to save the Ops once again what a great adjustment like we said focusing so much towards long some slow defaults but they have that Ace up their sleeve if they want to run through middle knowing it's going to be open Simple locking down CD spawn that's rot towards B and of course looking towards the B site hits both of them I've never seen anything like that that's qu kind of insane for a t to do but I absolutely love it we saw him holding that line in the in the game versus phas Clan but rarely paid dividends in that way and now you can see why you can see why he wants to take that position but also why he stays he holds that line towards the B site as well as CT spawn and so eight rounds to na'vi into round 10 that is quite the conundrum world number one defending Champions aalis here on the semi-final stage the very same stage they lifted the Trophy last year does sound like we got a timeout and a chance to jump over to Chad with a quick timeout tactics you guys were asking how they've been conditioned so far to do with this contact there's been long plays you can see this a fourman stack from the Australis side towards long this is something that exists in their playbook but you can see na'vi straight down middle taking control within the first 10 seconds and then all the utility that has to be dumped towards mid doors to deal with this they are running rings around astralis right now they've got to get back in this one and the double ORS haven't worked I don't know what the solution is boys back to you yeah it's a good point Chad I don't know either that every time they try and adapt and change their setup it's na'vi presenting a completely different idea a change of pace and there's not really much you can do against that they haven't done anything wrong it's is simple he's just dictating where he wants to go on the map where he wants to find kills you can't predict it and he's hitting every single shot it's an absolute bloody nightmare out there they'll have to bring the four and fours at this point they damaging towards long this time with four players Alex and it's going to be the first kill for simple once again no one can stop this man resistance is futile as he continues to F shot after the shot finally devis mes will step up can they get simple down apparently not and they have got the lead flying out of long na'vi they return to what previously worked but aralis their resistance and their additional numbers pays off Magis takes two before he's taken down we have got this tag team combo though flamey and simple the molotov doesn't go where they'd like but still they're absolutely fine so with one and 15 on the clock here device towards t-spawn locks them in towards this position that's key info they can't fall back from long at this point and they might know it they're fine with this they love to push long 10 kills are simple so far maybe a couple more required if they're going to stick the landing on this one this is the cross bullets already exchanged but flamy has made it he did bring the bomb with him that is quite the achievement now his teammate can set himself up if only he could plant for him he has a chance to plant for long in the Smoke to help him do so but device he's gone simple is not missing he is unrelenting and he wants more the Glock he's using the smoke to perfect Advantage he's got backs turned claive considering it as an option but now here they are and he's making them look silly humiliation on the semi-final stage fam finishes it's 91 call it done Alex this guy is unbelievable that is just one confident play he knows exactly what's coming he reads it one step ahead of every player on the server snaps around the moment device comes out as well look at this it couldn't be better if we tried and then he's got the audacity to push through the smoke they're boosting he's making them look foolish out there GLA will pull one back but the final kill comes in their favor as we go 91 here the money is evaporating for aric they have to go for Desert Eagles a single Scout here and drii pushing off towards sh but it's a long tap once again this time the n's very successful perfectors on the hunt looking for the double kill there significant damage but it's an equal Trade four on four for now as they boost up towards the site this just feels the same experience so many different ways Magis is the one to feel the wrath of simple awp he can just hold that line sit pretty his team will do the rest they are in no r Rush whatsoever astralis are the ones that are feeling hot under the collar of their Jack Jones Jersey byebye bomit connection and a chance now as he uses the smoke to oh my goodness simple just got another with zipx just trying to try and apply some additional pressure to those playing the close wall but now device has to continue to add more to the tally to so far etched onto goose and he wants more knows there's a gap surely the way he's moving oh well a flash is perfect for it Henry the flash works out very nicely indeed the molotov is even better device roasting here towards CT spawn it's a matter of time before he goes down this is absolutely Flawless so far from na'vi given up one round at this stage that was number four and now with a streak of seven honestly you know this simple does remind me of the team liquid simple for anyone that didn't quite catch that incredible story line to give you a quick summary as we get ready for another battle here on does too he went into that team and experienced not relying on his teammates he went into that and underperformed and they still won broke down in an interview with Pucket afterwards and I think that same kind of vibe is making its way to the semi-final stage the faith he has in his team reminiscent of that of liquid and now device is going to have to be ooh a little careful they exchange blow for blow electronic full health going aggressive and the spray connects he's unreal with that Creek no one missing any shots on the na'vi side of things with zipx with a great position here the flashbang does move him away but it's still another great shot electronic continues his Rampage here toward the a side have managed to trap lightning in a bottle of this kid and they're calling him electronic this is where we'll see him absolutely dominate the t- side of dust to another three kills in round number 12 Alex how can you stop them at this point multi-kill after multi-kill it's they're getting multiple multi-kills is all I can say it's ridiculous everyone taking their turn electronic at the tippy top of the scoreboard alongside simple 14 and 12 respectively another round where dpre Magis this time clutching onto their rifles and just shaking their heads you've got some of the best brains of Counter Strike and right now they they're baffled I I don't know what a solution is you're trying absolutely everything you're trying to shut down those long tags of four players and they Rush middle uh they're hitting every single shot you stack towards short electronic is just pre-firing you with a perfect Creek spray uh this is peak level performance and Counter Strike at this stage there's nothing that can be done at this point you haven't even got a chance to warm up you can't even get into the game this is why Henry I don't want to play Dust 2 because I'm pretty sure I play against na'vi every game every single game t- sides feel like na'vi but yes Jokes Aside electronic this is another triple kill round and the third he's taken down this Orit and he's peeking into him spectacular work and you can see every round looks like it's about to be the first map under the belt for na'vi in their reactions it looks like a change of Pace a little from aralis another stack Chad broke this down on the board it's them trying to find an answer the flash is good and so is the frag glaves get gets away scar free completely safe zip X's flash made sure of that finally they have an opening Advantage here can they capitalize upon it though that's the question simple pistol out again waiting for Ma just to push towards the B tunnels here surely he won't there's no need to at this point they need to maintain the advantage device Waits and boom will deal with him alone no want to back him up it was a nice idea to have the off angle But ultimately has led them to a four on four GLA with the reaction over boomed he's one step ahead every single time they just seem to know exactly what's going on Alex yeah and it's so interesting that two members of na'vi are at the 100% kill assisted or traded at this point in time of dust two round 13 simple and Perfecto and Perfecto's one we've had on the radar the desk covered it this is his first s tier semifinal it's against astralis and at the moment things are going swimmingly not to speak too soon three members remaining for the Danes and you can see that the bomb is still taking its time it's on the back of Perfecto lingering now towards middle zipx that's his responsibility D will collect onto boomid but he was simply trying to draw the CTS that direction zipx he's a little late to the part he's going to have to play this headshot angle and there's three players that want to breathe towards the site bre is the word I was looking for bomb hased so Alex no real utility on the CT side zipx has a smoke debris challenging with the M4 here but it's a difficult shot to land a little bit of damage inflicted towards flamy but he's more than happy to take the jaw with the scope of the creek here zipx working his way through with Maes there will they go for the Boost got a dinking at least but here we go a chance actually got the lead here but it's simple one versus one now drii he will make his way towards the bomb side 90% % clutch rate on this map we saw him win one against liquid versus four he's only going to find one and he's done it again the percentage goes up again Henry 121 for na'vi and simple just can't lose clutches this is like nothing I've ever seen before I've seen some great games from simple but I've never seen a Flawless game of counter try presented like this hasn't really missed a shot seems to be in the correct position every time everyone within na'vi hitting every shot that's available to them and dpri nothing he can do about that one it's going to be 121 and in terms of money it might be another partial by situation that says it all we're in the first half here and have used three timeouts already as we head into round number 14 things have fallen apart at the seems for Arris Sonic he only gets one more chance for this map and my goodness it feels like aalis their chances are dwindling by the entirety two Scouts into this one they'll do their very best you can see the stats on your screen take a look at that KD you can see the utility damage as well starting to climb a little bit for aralis okay glaive back in the driving seat but that's the first blood they were hoping for let's see if they can convert the Scout towards those mid doors has been very powerful indeed do know the task is not completed yet though focusing towards long he's confirmed that but still when na'vi get long control they seem to run away with it every single time it's going to be simple to try and open things up towards the a bomb side you can see a player ready and waiting on the site that's device utility exchange no war for him but he does sit in the Smoke M4 in hand damage being dealt out but only lightly yeah minimal and now up towards the ramp all three of them look at the pre-ir this must be so terrifying device is just sweating now choosing to push gets the glimpse of one they know where he is Boom catching a bullet in the meantime Perfecto desperately trying to force device into the open now the smoke Fades and this gets more difficult a perfect flash but they don't peek on it boom how do they keep hitting these shots Perfecto gets the jumping kill and there's nothing that can stop Nai at this point every shot lands in the skull of Arris the bomb to be planted it's a four versus two mes to the Scout dpri will joining him but they have no diffuse kit one smoke available there's surely no way to even get into this another beautiful shot from flame he goes down to 3 HP but that's it dpri will have to hold on to his M4 as he sits and cowers in the corner towards long 131 they haven't missed a bullet yet yeah astralis world number one they've been in the top 30 for 230 days with this core dpri yes he's doing well to take a couple away but it is nothing more than stat padding 13 to one na'vi they're so close to picking up their map pick and our analyst we spoke to them earlier of course on the desk and the answer was D two really does determine this semi-final the sentiment was if they want to beat a stralis it starts on Dust two well quite the statement yeah and then some I would say well look at the scoreboard here like zipx and glaive nothing to do with this game so far 10 frags between them final round of this first half they limp in with Famas MP9 umps and Perfecto he's had enough of this he wants to close things out in style looking to find the opening frag simple just somehow gets two more what in God's name is going on right now sight is open oh and another one goes down aralis they are just being panted live on stage will catch simple but the damage has been dealt and the bomb's on its way to the other side of the map just ziex with an MP9 and a nade shaking in his boots but glaive has done better catching middle making things as awkward as he can zipx however cut down to half by flamy and just a matter of time he's managed to get away well he'll have to do so because he's got an MP9 and no utility stuck in the corner there I don't know how he fights his way out of this one the further away he gets the more limited his options become there is a slight Gap in the Smoke fires off bullets so they know exactly what he's got there they'll jump over the Gap if bomb goes down again no kids available GLA with two kills so far recovers the C he's got the incend and an H grenade will have to be one hell of a throw though doesn't connect and flamy now just so ready to get stuck in once again and it works out for him ladies and gentlemen you are witnessing some an unheard of experience for Australis a semifinal opening map and they are leaving the first half with one round na'vi 14 astralis one to start off the semi-final here in [Music] [Applause] Cavit me I let you take [Music] [Music] me and [Music] I we are no matter if we Cast Away a fire in the I know you [Music] again [Music] know [Music] youw [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] right from the start I see the end [Music] forever no matter if we Cast Away fire in I know [Music] you [Music] I know [Music] you [Music] unheard of scenes for a semifinal in katav 2020 defending Champions asales find themselves down 14 to one up against na'vi and the man on a mission in the center of your screen a man possessed and a man inspired by the components of his team he truly believes he can contend with the world's best and right now Henry they are well they call him the Undertaker Alex he's looking to slam shot the coffin of the Danes here this has been remarkable from him couple more rounds will do it they're looking to close things out and not even get as to a warmed up position we'll see the pd50 come out for device I think he's got the long spawn as well behind it so they will be taking this but oh god look who's waiting for them flashed off simple wol fall back he's joined by bomit as a reposition towards car and the crossover looking almost identical to the na'vi long pistol as well holding the mid push D PRI and zipx just not committing with that bomb they're setting P250 up in pit that's going to real Sting If device can find some Precision here simple elevates himself with the extra lip hoping to find device on awes Boom has managed to find the first an RV he is going to be molotoved out of position that's a big investment of the n and he's still comfortable in the corner no issue whatsoever and simples found another one Henry oh another head shot towards the pit as well devises at 6 hp oh no this is looking like it's done a five on three they've got one smoke found another as well they can cross over but even get close to that side of the map zipx is just getting chipped away out they have the pre-fire towards the Cs who fre in the open surely will be dealt with momentarily as they limp back as just that fraction of HP left over for them but they have brought it back to a three versus two with plenty of time remaining but blam now locks them in towards that long position how do they even get out of this the bomb's down time ticking away and one bullet on either of them will take them out a bomb plan would be great at this point there is another Smoke on the floor so chances are if drii was to spot it out they would have a perfect smoke for the cross there it is picked up and thrown but with this kind of Health good flash drii does make it across two stars remain for aralis D pre and device shots close he's going to be exposed to Long device has got to tuck himself in in time or he will be caught I don't know if you saw him did flam not see I don't think he did we'll have a look oh well apparently that's not a problem whatsoever mad Point already got to be the quickest M of duster we've casted this tournament so far unbelievable scenes here it's a long take from aralis they had the same mentality as na get the double smokes over flash through hopefully find a couple of kills of the P250 but completely shut down once again it looks like we're all done here on the first map luckily for move on to Nuke next where you can't be this loose and this aggressive but like I said they haven't even had a chance to get going here not at all simple that Ding device by the way was just the fraction of his head and at that crazy range yeah I think the the face of Magis really does say it all for the current mental state of the D you've come in hours of preparation well the good news is they did get the bomb planted at least we said that would be something going forward they are going to need 14 rounds in a row at this stage is trying to make the score line competitive I would say it's just going to be a matter of time before na' closed things out this is looking quite strong you can see two CS out the Scout as well a ump they've got long control at the very start of the round still have two smokes of the Cross so they they pretty much have to commit to this they can't really fall back they got all five players out towards long got to wait for things to settle down a little bit auto shotgun for simple of course being bit of a calling card for him this tournament the max 7 the auto shotgun seems to find a Kill kill every single time yeah he's tried all three I think we got the NOA out as well at was there that didn't work out quite as well yet here we go aralis towards the long position and you can see the jump over the smoke from glaive got him a whole lot of information he's pieced together where two components of this na'vi puzzle rest bra doesn't connect but good damage from flamy perhaps to be finished off by his comrades three players from aralis make it AC cross to the bomb but from behind the alligator has found its prey one from simple with a shotgun he will be neutralized mag just make sure of that three versus two they maintain the numbers but for how long he's taken ambitious Jews boom and down to Perfecto his first s tier semifinal looking to clutch it out for the win it's not impossible but it doesn't look likely magic position should be a guaranteed round win there it is it will be aalis posting their second round of the map so far 15 to2 the Griggs Prevail as they always do and we're going to see I presume four spy coming in from na'vi at this stage and uh they don't have to I suppose there massive buffer of rounds they could just save up and close things out properly and efficiently but you got to be double e regardless so we'll see czs and the scouts brought up 18 ma 10 for dpri scout for glaive three CS in total and that is just a show stopper of a kill at the start of the round glaive just has no idea how that even connected it's just another day in the office isn't it he's coming stamped his time card and hitting shots like that simple makes it 22 that's 22 frags in 17 rounds of play here in the 18th he's ready for some more and another tag he hasn't missed 100% connecting so far and another one my goodness it's like a stralis who put magnetic vests on every bullet just connecting here device and zipx low but still a four on four they'll creep up towards long bravely here remember Perfecto with that Desert Eagle can do a ton of work here with the low HP players in front of him but it's the healthy guys making their way up first he does go down uncontested Magis it's crucial it looks like he's doing enough does manage to force the short player away dprm 10 connects simple I swear if you do anything ridiculous now I am going to there it is that's just ridiculous no absolutely not he made me sound like a gorilla and zipx will get that bomb down eventually finally found by device aralis will find another one you are ridiculous it's going to be electronic just keeping hold of his CZ but astralis that long arduous task it's an impossible one as you framed it Henry it's more about building the confidence for nuke because if arrus come in with a frame of mind of dust two they are going to feel the wrath once again well still quite a convincing round all things considered there they lost the opening pick from the Scout picking toward the double doors at the very beginning simple then hits two more tags gets a jumping kill to deny the bomb they're lucky to get away with three players to be honest with you it felt like it was all going to fall apart but well held Australis still in this one for now 12 rounds in a row required after this one as they'll save three CS should be the full Eco on the agenda here for na'vi so not much more than p250s electronic will save the CZ and armor here's the initial Kill from simple just waiting for his prey nail zip clav remov to the start and here's the the jumping shot of course wall bang denying the plant that says it all just like okay well today's not my day yeah I mean you know the question it's it's often thrown around it was today on the stage is like how do you shut down simple and I think all glaive had to say for that was we will see perhaps the the truth was we don't know should be the easiest one of their T side so far for astralis should bring in the operative word Molotov will force Boom Out and he's gone not wanting to make any mistakes here they're sending in that D premac 10 to get a whole lot of information maybe even a couple of kills damage is up electronico getting his head tapped away that did well to land the dink though if simple gets the AK he's got a to do more damage but the sound Q is enough for glaive yeah well held here by astralis flamy makes his way towards the tunnels he's got the Mac 10 chasing glaive at this point but uh glaive I think is aware we be putting the brakes on there should be a matter of time before he goes down which it is one planted electronic left of us to deagle has saved armor as well so just looking to upgrade to an AK if possible holds patiently 154 guaranteed part of me wants him to just slap glaive all the way towards t-spawn it's possible do you think he paks at any point is he happy behind this pillar is he going to have a little jiggle a little I think positive glance and the last like second before the round ends He he'll peek out just to see if he can have a cheeky one terrorists win nothing found he does hold of the deagle he's got armor as well right going save him $1,000 going forward they've got enough to buy into this round but this is when I'm calling a timeout saying right guys we got $4,000 here this is how we could potentially throw the game and we fully invest here without everything we need we won't have the awp there's going to be compromising is they've gone for it it's going to be an MP9 4 m4s no kid so it's it's obviously viable round for them it's possible uh but it's not absolutely everything they need is to get that one round that's what I'd be focusing on now how to close this out yeah I mean it can happen whenever it could happen right now Perfecto full flash takes down magic drii did get to the blue pin but looks like Navia sending their entire Squad to clear it durii only gets the first and Perfecto comes back for his second charging through middle though in the spray through the smoke from simple will just clip zipx into the sight they go in the MP9 it's the worst weapon for that kind of fight they will find clayy good dink good damage electronic is burning on his we through CT and na'vi yeah this is the right call yeah save what you can decent effort there from na'vi they did retake towards long but as soon as the core was given that three CTS were towards that long position they high tail it towards middle which makes a lot of sense and we saw one isolated player with an MP9 in the back of b as you noted really not an ideal situation there did well to even get a little bit of damage off but ultimately ran over there as we find now five rounds on the board for Arris that's going to be four in a row but they made the right call here na'vi have managed to collect two CES uh they've got the M4 as well lost bonus starting to rack up at this point there'll be a fourth stage after this round which is $2,900 and simple still a Molotov as well no diffuse gets into that round and okay what rounds uh do arras have to get to Henry before um I start talking about how it's does to and on T sides double digits RS 1510 is when we can start saying all right there's a there's a chance here there's a way they can do this but it's looking pretty promising right now they've had some Sensational comebacks in the past but this would be one for the history bugs 141 down in the first half make it convincing case it could do it at this point na'vi will take a timeout good call let's calm down let's work out what we're going to do here we don't have to force the issue we don't have to fully invest into this round ideally you're going for some deagles some czs around this you don't spend all your money electronic seems to have other ideas he's gone in for the full investment so they won have the awp again but they were pretty close in the previous round good long spray did a lot of damage there just a great mid-rank call coming from australas to adapt make their way towards b as we saw no one there just the MP9 and they walked right in device does have the sniper rifle now it's going to take 10 rounds in a row just to start the conversation of overtime if ever there was a team that could do it though Estus might be up there you see a different approach at the start of the round here we are going to have a boost towards sha from electronic does he go for an aggressive play of course he does for that double spray down that is magnificent five versus three the job should be done at this point they try to change the pace up the Australis side and they are punished for it perfect counter you can always count on those multi kills electronic collects another double that's going to be his fifth multi-kill round and I mean every single member of na'vi is coming into this round with four multi-kill rounds simple the exception at seven but it's just a perfect paint picture of a very distraught astralis three players remaining to try and keep dust two dreams alive they can take their time understandably they'll send a pair dastardly Duo of magisk and ziex to contest with the leader of na'vi on Long it all slows down for now they still have three smokes this electronic has upgraded his M4 now to a creek didn't even take any damage in that interaction device with a speculative shot towards the a site doesn't connect same story towards the mid doors just trying to show presence his teammates get ready towards long saying that we could be coming towards middle towards short they're actually focusing on this area here and boage very strong holding long position we seen to get some remarkable kills of the MP9 even at range will he be able to do it once again oh it's C though throwing the flashbang it's very telegraphed but they know he's coming and it doesn't matter bomit still inflicting good damage that just cut down to size and simples relieved the threat on short they're coming from long and he knows it smoke blocks his view but it doesn't block his bullets it was flamy that connected instead all the way from CT and cix is barely getting across he's the walking wounded he won't make it to the sight it won't make another round it's going to be 16 to4 na'vi have slapped arras in the face with a glove and accepted the duel a world class performance there from na'vi last time they played astralis they managed to run over them in London and looks like it could be more of the same here on the agenda what a perfectly played dust two that was 141 in the first half against the best team in the world Alex that's pretty unheard of what exciting scenes that was uh but the good news is is a very different map coming up next nuke is a lot more tactical it's slower Pace you can't just run around the map and hopefully we'll see as stalis wake up we'll take a bit break and be back with the analyst desk and map number two very short me
