CS:GO - Astralis vs. Virtus.pro [Inferno] Map 3 - IEM Katowice 2021 - Quarter-final

then armored james smoke on buster to defend and a little bit more in the utility department for astralis it's gonna be interesting to see where three smoke grenades and all of those flashes end up bloody treasure trove of utility here they might use a little bit early just to bait something out but you kind of he's been sharp one decoy is enough to make him think better at holding that line right there uses a bit of a flash maneuver and well there he is james eyes are going to be on him has not shown up on that one or two here so far for vp and he's been one of their top performers throughout the entire tournament an absolute force he's uh had his lowest fragging maps back to back in this series okay that is gonna get a bit hot and heavy if they do throw that molotov towards new box dekinder they know where he is or at least peppering him the swing from device is good enough to force the fight the smoke does isolate but kicker's been caught zip x actually doubles up his on the reload buster can't punish now he can and the chance to deny the plan this is chaos the smoke is such a favor for playing them yeah and magisk does push through to make space jam and armored czed and a dream maybe if he found dupree there could have been a way in not anymore does have 12 bullets and four to find it's it's a near impossible task it looks like he rolled his eyes there you still can have a crack though yeah usb makes it a little more manageable device doesn't need to release that crouch key but he's hoping and praying he does and armor and a cz seems like a better fate yeah not a bad thing to be carrying into round number two by any means especially in a four on one retake on that b bomb side but you can see where all that utility went that molotov was fantastic it even netted zip x the opening kill onto the site and from there diligent stuff astralis continued to spam the smokes they weren't rushing it they weren't just trying to get that bomb down and this is a great start for them another pistol round continuing to build this is the problem for james now i've obviously turned all the attention to him but throughout this tournament so far he's been putting in numbers you know i had a look the least amount of kills he had until this point was 12 and he only had four deaths against renegades and that was in a 16-3 thrashing so uh he didn't need to have a lot of kills in that game the last two maps his impact with the awp it hasn't been felt and inferno is a map where he's going to have a difficult time doing so but astralis has actually gone with a five smg by now this isn't something you normally see and you don't normally see the the hero fam ass and armor around the deagles so this is a sanji special well looks like a booming special more like it where uh oh boy you kind of stand he cops and aids 73 damage done to him a lot of utility to clear out these close corners here and of course astralis another one too oh you're just locked in here two mac tens are going to come jumping around the corner for him he's going to have to be precise did he actually re-aggress on the flash isolated flub nade pushing forward regardless and gets the space that's something for astralis but still with the man down up mid smoked off james no info oh another just filled the feed for a second how does he get away with that there was so much utility on astralis as well they didn't need to go for peaks like that and now it's just three players in banana executing into buster and your kinder another smoke to delay them they've got mollies and they're gonna just bound in off the flash okay buster in your kinder set up for success your kinder a third go on make it all it's possible dupreeh swings in he's got himself a fresh mag and one more frag playing with him can't quite convert but four from your kinder the leg work it's on and dupre nearly turning things around with his p250 but that is a very productive scavenging mission everyone brings something new into their third round and vp they turn the tables on astralis that right there has to be a mistake from astralis not buying a single rifle going into round number two sure maybe they wanted to have a bucket load of utility but you traditionally get at least one ak or a galil or something ump four mac tens and kinder just peels them apart like this the range of the famous versus these smgs absolute destruction right there and now it's just the pistol upgrade as the straw is forced by back in light utility couple smokes three in total oh device he's not happy with that your kinder immediately silenced the hand cannon so potent and so is this push they're straight up they are not taking no for an answer that incendiary still ignored he's a bit of a blood pressure yeah kick it work it out for him now they smoke him off oh but they line up and two nearly a fourth as well dupreeh just about weathers through zip x catches the first through the smoke chance now they are low but a two on two jane wants to work around the smoke but zippers is cognisant of it up short as well it's all about the timings buster's found one dupreeh lost in the smoke he indicates exactly where he's coming from as well but buster holds the line neat tidy second for vp little chaos there zipex does well to catch the aggress but they tidy things up save the rifles as well so we wanted to see what vp had in store for map number three and they're kicking this one off in style forced by win they stand tall against the force by vistralis and this was huge from kicking look at all those chickens running out of pit where the hell did they come from three chickens nice little view of that one right there okay and astralis they want to continue to pressure this they're going back in with another bye dupri onto an ak ump for glaive couple of mac 10s deagle again they do not want to let go of this they are holding jostling for control jame he's taking a bit of an aggressive stance he jumps straight across for that peak there's a timer on this second mid aggression not gonna be too quick from dupree you would be expecting an eco here if you're vp oh but your kinder look at this they've actually smoked for him i wonder if device has a little bit of a gap on that smoke sanji tested dupreeh down device added to the oh he actually transfers oh glaive caught through the smoke and astralis this jockeying for control has not worked out in their favor at all you've invested all your schmeckles again and now just zip x and magisk with armor pistols and a mach 10 trying to piece this two versus four together dp are walking through spawn right now they know that this gap has been left on open and they might just be clamping right down on it zippers and magus they're up against it right now completely locked in his death could be the mark of an awkward gap buster isolated on b and now with every passing second paranoia as to where magisk and zip x are working utility drops on a 39 sanji returns to report long quiet 30 seconds they can go either way bastard tells the smoke on the b bomb site here if he drops that towards ct it's perfect right 25 gosh that could be enough to win the round just like that he's about to get smoked off he could drop one of his own hasn't opted for it they'll go for a banana the timing's gonna be interesting here oh he's gonna push through the smoke you genius oh it's perfect they have no idea but he hasn't hit the shots and magic's got a chance smoke has arrived but so he's missed his shots kicking in the 1v1 in the smoke i just doesn't contest he gets another new lease of life and with his nade pulled that's that kick it may just pulls it back for australis who won four what a turnaround what a turnaround they made every second count in that mid round buster made the perfect play the absolute perfect play knew that they had to funnel into sight knew that they had to clear it and he just flubs that shot oh what a bailout perfect timing on the repeat out of the smoke as well all right well that's gonna get the uh the comms a little louder it's gonna certainly silence vp yeah they won the tussle didn't they down to the usps in a zeus a chance to breathe right now unless you kinda do something mental with this deal you can see all right there was a chance dupreeh has been sharp last round we missed it it was off action but he took down jane with that awp quite easily look at this leaning tara pisa right here might have a transporter device or vice versa there you have it folks b's open for business doing his due diligence checks every possibility every nook and cranny we have a couple of financial issues here alex only 1900 coming into the bank balance next round for vp it doesn't really okay maybe a safe gun might help never mind jam gets that with and dupre is sharpening up here eight kills so far for dupreeh he wants this one now this is what i was talking about james just bought into an ore but sanji has three point seven buster has three point six kicker has three point three he has bought kev so he has a little bit of extra money to get a rifle yeah but this is gonna be a tough one to overcome lots of absent helmets i say lots i should have corrected myself only you kinda left vulnerable no kit two mag tens for astralis so it's gonna be very intriguing to see that first blood especially for vp is going to be worth its weight in gold finding that very first frag gives you an opportunity to stack a little probing mission into apartments from astralis they silently mantel in that's a nice bonus of incorporating another player into it oh kick it almost yeah he's playing with fire here quite literally as he drops the incendiary backing up they want it and dupree though sharp has been dulled banana info still being sought after cleave up short they're very they're a house divided at this point yeah bomb is still left towards t spawn as well so plenty of time here for australis to change their tune back to t steps for bomb retrieval ct's three postured ready to hold jamin what on earth and what a fine sanji's gone down they're pushing banana alex they'll get the info get the flank it's down to these two on site kick it tucked in tight have to delay a shot from jane will delay but he's been hunted down and only one from kicker astralis into the site this is a chance and the kinder's found it converted it jumps through the hoop he's so low though and the bombs loose far from an advantage astralis awkward as hell as the bomb will be scooped up by zip x device tucked into the pit 12 hp still vulnerable to that ukinder mp9 it's not gonna be an easy shot to hit though as he elevates on that bike position just as beret visible buster with an element of surprise here sipek's holding for that smoke push and device in pit continues to remind buster of his location there's one knows where the second is and he's so low time he's got it buster just needs to find this frag device maneuvering around and that's gonna be the frag and the round buster does he have the time just just just about across the line didn't get the orb either they'll steal it but by a nat's wing it's far from a decisive victory you can see how hard fought this was back and forth division everything in his power he could hear he's using the steps to just stay out of his line of sight buster dukesome narrowly gets back to the bomb in time knife foul and strafing my lord all right back in but still doesn't look all too tickety-boo for the cts looks rubbish really three famous utility not great no kit again they just got through that one james had the orc in two rounds alex has zero impact absolutely none so far just one kill to his name kept honest they are neutralizing james something cruel here they've set him up for success here he'll be playing anti-flash kicker can tuck in should he lose vision your kinder sacrificial spray through okay well he gets info did he kill jack i have no idea how he ends up getting a frag out of that never mind the player boosted oh they're gambling back over towards b here so very active yeah i think they're assuming that that the stack's been rumbled assuming there may be a vulnerability identified smoking mirrors all over the shop okay re-smoking middle they'll have to work hard for this control again you can see devices lining up for a flash sending his teammates up for their advance kick it's actually playing close to it they look like they want to pop through this okay if he gets into boiler it could be the perfect cool oh we just made a sound they heard a weapon drop they know someone's there oh i really smoke okay so you've got 30 seconds after that fades sanji might want to think about going back to a kicker maybe waving the flag saying come i need the cavalry claims selling this right he's keeping them honest no info bananas clearing this out jump peeking sees nobody's home so it's fine for them just to walk onto a right now and kick it's left to sight you can see right here he's on the outside the bomb is going through abs he needs to stop middle this has to be astralis round unless he gets both of them on the advance here here's them confirms it's a if they plant default this slight window he can jump wild spray misses the mark and with that i think the round slips away that's twice the vp have had these rounds with these flanks that have been perfectly timed through the smokes just enough to deny or grab a multi-kill or make astraz's life a misery and they flubbed those shots so the pressure in those moments getting the better of vp here in astralis well they're going to continue to punish this ct side economy it's gonna be their fourth they're gonna keep four alive this is a map that used to be a specialty of theirs and now that it's in there well their map pool is in disarray we don't even know where australis strengths lie anymore if they can pop out a strong performance here on inferno might restore some of their faith in this one moving forward remember winner of this takes on liquid tomorrow within the second semi-final mega throws the smoke readjust it was magus as well who turned around when buster tried to push the smoke so he's dealing with these and these are pressure kills right so oh gonna be kicking yourself for that one right there bomb goes off fourth on the board money the loss bonus is yet to stabilize for vp right it hasn't had a chance to build because of the back and forth nature that we've had so far which means with the 1400 loss bonus that they just received there's not enough money to really justify a buy here but they have three saved rifles so the question is well do we buy and see if we can win with the rifles or do we save and think about future rounds looks like that decision has been made all right the latter m4 on two kendra's known for his impact and he's in a position to find it how quick on the clicks it's glaive your kinder's quick up tested by dupree and they swing out together perfect frank's in unison for him oh and the boost over the smoke couldn't have worked out better device expecting it to be clear though may have a nasty awakening as usps do knock him down and they charge into the open side of yeah master called two right there there's uh at least a a weapon for jane we'll be keeping hold of that came in with the usp should we do some quick maths or should we leave it i mean i i i if you're willing to do quick maths so it's 1900 into the next so with that in mind four or five kicker will have enough money to uh drop in all but uh that means he's not gonna be operating with very much whatsoever so i'm not quite sure exactly where vp are gonna land in the next rounds as far as the buy goes i remember when they lost that game to navi just the other day towards the tail end of the game it felt like they were under pressure and making some really odd economical decisions i don't want to fall into the trap this early on the ct side that round right there is one of the ones where you could argue do we force buy did we take the save well they we see what they've gone for holding on to these two guns but they haven't really given themself a chance at a full gun round right they haven't had that going just yet the round where james had the orb got picked off early they had a couple of mp9s dupreeh is as i mentioned sharp and some good kills to make right there making sure there's no trade from kick it and you have that usp and device off on his own little mission guess what kick it did drop him the old alex so it's not just the sanji train facilitating james i look i'm not trying to call him out he's just had a great tournament and he's not delivering right now james needs to find impact with the ore they've facilitated this from three times he's yet to do anything of value with it cannot keep giving a guy a 47.50 gun when the other players are the ones contributing it's actually making a bit more skimp on utility more skimp on weapons yeah it's about time we had a round that reminds us of what james is capable of and what that name represents he's in a one-and-done spot again oh and your kinder that one should have been his trying to steal it away james does fill the feed okay tested by dupree back away now buster responsible for banana are all too aware of it kicker's taking some risks here chad has to oh he's gonna get such a boatload of info calls it clear that could be false three of them are still advancing up middle so big gaps in the defense at this point sanji will be responsible for long james tucks into pick kick it's going around the world what's the timing on device completely he's got a completely false picture in his head he could miss all of this right now banana is clear buster can see that they have to know they're going up mid towards a bastard is calling banana completely clear and he has knocked off the head of zip x that will slow him down or maybe spur them into the spray of sanji james burns big problems now it's all on to sanji and court before he could drop the defensive util they are low certainly not out of the woods yet and device losing his head makes things even more awkward a weapon glaive on default buster delays he's got util as well flashes could set kick up up for more oh glaive had to make it clean had to hit the shot just like that now they can double peak and that is another for astralis they turn it back into their favor i i think you bang on with that killing to pit that is the most important killer that entire round bust is stuck over towards b kick it off walkabout no man's land sure he finds impact but you're right it spurred them forward there's an oak kill from james he's in a one one-and-done spot i'm surprised even survives right there molly burns away and pit kick it grabs another but yeah well played from astralis here six to three it will be an eco for vp they really need to sort out their finances stop dropping these up give yourself some full rifles for everybody it's been these these gun rounds where it's like three rifles maybe there's an orp who's one of those then there's deagles mp9s nothing crazy potent and now their loss bonus is starting to build so next round they get 2 900. we will finally see a full buy james invested again in kevlar made in a p250 oh and then swallows a grenade that is no fun doing their due diligence the nades and spray is enough to ward off anyone that was considering trying to contest on sandbags is that all for show is that all for that banana presence that now can be left to the hands of magisk yes indeed oh that's a frag look at that and they'll push for info too hands straight to the head from vegas they don't know what happened devices actually caught one on the mission buster pulls the ak back into the site they want to punish this and the util pulled out is perfect enables them to regroup perhaps even rethink things 45 chad what's the call they know that there's two over towards b and there's a gun so i'd be high telling it to a right now seeing what space you can take and that's exactly what they're doing 36 seconds straight up middle couple of flashes and smoke up okay so if kika takes early contact they may ex not expect a second player here yakinda masterful bait has to just sit stop the drop and if kicker can find one no he's been spotted they may not expect him and it enables a frag and the bomb delivered to yakinda they'll knock him off it's a delayed plan but poor old bust has been dealt a pretty dead hand and with an ak to his name he'll look to scavenge and maintain tight one there that's going to be the seventh but any other player jumping into pit for your kinder there would have been great the player that jumped in was the awk it's like what am i meant to do with this well they're running away with this one now australis and i i think when vp get onto their t side if they continue the slow play that we've seen across all the maps astralis handled spirit right they held their utility super late and as soon as you go for those late round pack executes molly smoke nade flash they had all their utility so vp i feel that they need to make sure they can string at least five on this ct half it's not looking great right now and as i mentioned they've only had maybe one round you could argue was a full gun round so far three rounds in total one of those came from ukinder getting four kills with the four sport famous true so if we're looking at teams who are winning you know by leaps and bounds the scoreline tells the story but astralis are looking a lot cleaner in this it's scrappy for vp to say the best yeah it certainly does seem like a more regimented squad turning up in this quarter finals here australis i think a lot of people had a couple of question marks after seeing 16-1 the 16-1 not going to be seeing that record breaking 16-0 they continue to fend that off thank god for a timeout as well it's their first and they're already in a bit of a hole of it may have been able to use this get dastard to contribute earlier but that's behind us now and they're working this buy out sanji has just bought the orp for james again jane would have had enough money if he didn't buy kevlar a p250 in a bloody he what anyway we won't get stuck into that right now we'll save that for another day yeah let the desk let kasada yanko run and rave so sanji has a choice he goes do i buy kevlar and a flash or do i buy a nade set and there you go so it's kevlar and a flash it's a tough decision to make and once again who would have thunk it no defuse kit oh make that one buster's got one never mind all right well this is really going to be quite an indicative round here ct's have been really struggling to stem the astralis bleed and they're throwing something new into the mix magisk wow ahead of the pack and yakinda quick to knock him down there's a second jewel to be found and your kinder oh there's so many mollies where are you supposed to go nowhere is safe 24 points of health that's the double molly spread but it gets away yeah and they have the opening so how long can they hold on to this that was three bodies dedicated towards the top banana they get that kill and now james has to clear back towards top mid sanji we'll be setting up a crossfire with kick it and astralis oh they're coming back for some mid control they have top banana now they need top mid to free lining up bit of a deep smoke there pressure on arch side indicative as he sees the library smokey decides to stick around you'll have the chance no util for the cross glaive causes a bit of a hubbub on short but it is the long walk jiggled to perfection from zip exchange does not stutter though on the repeat facing him and he's even plucked a second oh it's systematic more to be found maybe the jiggle he knows where you are and jane will add a third the most impact you've seen shuts down the australis mid to be he needs to get going now he he needs to be able to find these guys some opening picks or be at presence with the awp just to scare astralis into a couple of risky maneuvers device is going to do the best to hold on to his big green money is great over there we had to drop a gun to make sure dupree can buy lost burner's obviously just going to start settling in now listening to the radio remembering all the rounds he won taking a quick look at this one you can see the molly's arrived so he's at 100 health at this point he gets his first frag i'm not going to see the uh the util that came after him but yeah finding the first enabled him to do this lovely fallback warping just textbook stuff new angle for each of those engagements yeah really opening right up there against the jiggle ride especially in those kind of scenarios where the jiggles are so tight they don't want to actually peak they're just showing a bit of arm really punish that right there james showing you how it should be done and that's four ak-47s on the ct side so if they're gonna get that ball rolling it's gonna be now the fuse kids are plenty i happy i can say that a little bit de-stressed lots of utility down banana again so deep smoke a couple of mollies exchanged yukinda wants info and he's not going to be able to get it through that grey screen no damage done either in australia just waiting out this early barrage towards banana meanwhile they'll take some control towards halls and boiler room still the three-man b-lean from vp as they push forward your kinder risky business hard jewel against glaive five bullets sticking around and it's just enough james arrives just as he needed to as well there's that impact device wanted the trade catches bullets instead now up mid sanji passes his test as does kick it both of the setups convert for vp now they've moved away from these janky buyers they're looking good they got full sets of utility everyone has a big gun might be a clean one here from vp much needed is vegas last man standing he's had some good moments this one would be great spotted now alarm bells ringing everybody knows what's up space being taken banana being collapsed on from behind in boiler three two and they pass one another buster doesn't know he reports back that there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about in middle and so perhaps the apartments is where madison wants to make his home 15 seconds left just going to be keeping out of all the goodies he's got a full buy there yeah that's bang on doesn't have to reinvest in anything so won't get the loss bonus but it's only at the 1900 his teammate should be able to buy he's even hanging around for a kill or two risky play here by magus don't go down now or he even gets the awp you cheeky badger oh your kinder was really wanting lusting to stop that steal that's quite quite the maneuver well played all round it makes something out of nothing device gets a treat for the t side yeah that's a best out of a bad situation look at this yeah he even scopes up on him okay okay well magic trick there from aegis because number 13 gets underway this full buy from vp how many more rounds can they post eight seven would be great device well he spots one your kinder just hangs around he knows this isn't all pretty jump peeks logs you are mad he knows what device is up two seems to know his games and likes taking this space it worked for him before took some incredible initiative and some early frag up mid are they gonna keep well they're not gonna clear they're up first another first blood for yakinda's banana hold starting to add to the tally and sanji's dealt with another getting awkward for astralis is 13. banana control does seem to be the answer when they can't flirt with both of them they can't tease that they go in one and pull the strings pull the cts vp starting to look almost indomitable ak's in majority of the ct's hands in fact yeah four of them that little bit of an evening of the odds in those individual jewels combined with the resources and the utility and your kinder difficult to find an answer here australis this would be a big kill busted ready to swing and trade don't need the trade look how sharp your kinder is this kid is a monster 15 kills so far and he's out there knows he's low hp plays the percentages doesn't need to be taking first contact in no way shape or form can bait in buster if that's their plan does have the opportunity to do so he's holding the cross to sights and buster doesn't have to do anything ct held by james p 250. oh great ned yeah that's going to soften up buster but it's more from jakinda finds a third out of that one despite the low hp and dupree just trying to force the kill forces them to murder him six found four vp the gap is closing yeah money's in the bin for the last two rounds here for australia's next round they're going to get the 2900 loss bonus so they will be able to buy but this means they have to give up round number 14 and that's seven for vp they can go for a four spy route we could go pistols all in bxq maybe something quick and poppy over towards a they could really punish the three-man beeline from vp for unfortunately for them they don't have x-ray they can't see just how prevalent it is and how long they stick around there's gonna be four deagles he for zip x and a p250 in the hands of glaive let's see what they can make of this one game aggressive jump peaks we'll call out the deagles off of that shot yakinda an absolute menace towards banana playing around the bottom and those smokes will do more of the same and we'll just leave buster here quick rotation back towards a but there's no flashes for them to flash on in it is honestly walk with these deagles out and hope you find the heads and just hope there's a lovely path paved for you by ct's looking the other way not gonna happen kick it sanji pit side and he drops that smoke it's a lovely little one way for the balcony player should he desire to cast his gaze towards this walk up but he's got sandy in support and that nade looks destined for success can't shoot the nade don't give him ideas uh so oh hello okay it's quite the first casualty kinder going down and a quick flick from james equalizes they are heading back to buster's domain and he's been ready and waiting without the jump for info and a little more nade damage as well thrown in for good measure so three players forced two rotations and all this space for dupreeh that was his chance it was a small one but kicker was in transition wide open and a deagle shot missed whistles past the year backed away sanji's pretty low straws are making this one certainly a whole lot more scary than it could have been on the cross is jame holds it and converts it magic running up long though this is sanji's angle kick at passive 15. oh that's the shot magik was waiting for one more to open up the side kick it denies can they stop the plant doesn't look like it kicked zip x would have to clutch up big in a 1v3 and jane busto all regrouping nice elevated angle could force the fight and he has found safe haven above the flames multiple targets but jumping the inaccuracy just wasn't there as he fell off the box it will be our equalizer seven to seven inseparable in this half we're seven three at one point four on the trot right now for vp to tie things back up and they'll have confidence behind them you have to consider how these last slew of rounds have gone five survived five survived five survived three survived right so they're making sure that these are cleaner rounds and this is good stuff it hasn't been as labored as what it was in the early stages and it all could have happened a bit earlier if they just had saved for one of those full buy situations but james finding impact now nine kills to his name you kinda continuing to do what he does best unbridled aggression just trying to take astralis banana by force aggressively punishing against all of this often quite caged util and here he is again flashing himself forward and he nearly takes down glaive significant damage from the nades as well they've caught some serious black they've taken our at least the start of the show but at what cost if jane pushes forward here and goes for some info that might be the right play they need to take a risk now that they found themselves in a four-on-five situation device half hp glaive 27 so the walking wounded utility terrible for australism very very late a couple of smokes couple of flashes molotovs to work with here as well and look at this the bomb all the way back to the apartments here very late so they're wary of pushes you're not going to get any info on that bomb they've left the orb over towards b that means james could just stay scoped up post it up or go aggressive it's a lot of responsibility on james or enables kick it tuck in on short dupry the first arrival but he has the bomb it won't surely be oh this could be big and he's ready for it dupree stops the hunt bomb spotted boiler and they pivot to b utility throne sanji running it's not another fake you've got 20 seconds you've got to go the smell is great there's a gap in the smoke jane punishes sanji to push through this is so good but now it's even better james needs more much more tested no scopes hail mary plays it's not enough they can't contest the plant bust up arrives just a little too late dupree scavenges away james zoombanger and this should be the eighth the final round boss is going to give it all he's got smoke to isolate perhaps unannounced as of yet as soon as he throws that util he wants to almost find a frag before he does glavin paul the light most likely candidate there you have it astralis pip him at the post eight seven third map and one final spot at the iem kedavica semi-finals i'll be there [Music] wow my top entry fragger right now like if i watch the tournament we can notice that for vp for example yakinda is having a hell of an impact usually you can see like a lot of opera i like a lot of open ninja success and creating space you can see simple art for example standing out but yeah i will give a special shout out to yakindar i will still shoot out on my neck because every time we are actually executing and we did that to close the games against uh the mind games are so huge but nafani now in position with just the sand just a motion of your hair [Music] travel light land just your height man just a one just a believer i don't you and me trying to be weightless like where and i know it feels don't look down we made it feels amazing [Music] [Music] a single half separating us from for locking in our semi-finals for iam kadavitsa it is the quarters of vp and astralis and again practically inseparable eight seven on the half and a roller coaster of emotions for dupree clearly trying to push astralis get every inch out of them as this is truly a game of the smallest margins we do have a t-side pistol for vp astralis have had a great conversion rate of their pistols so far chad and this one couldn't have any more weight attached to it get the momentum to start off the final half of your quarter-final bout oh this is aggression dive straight down middle here he's gonna pack behind they're walking they're not even charging this and he's looking buster gonna call us something a foot something fishy a foot they tuck in on banana now repeating buster has managed to punish they've locked them in they won't be able to cross while he's there on two steps i say that do pre-pushes for the info he wants to fight he wants to force the issue busted with one more bullet in the back 50 can't finish his meal and they want to contest it they've got a flash they [ __ ] a flash this could be the double the double d's advancing off the pop surely a punish tucked in fresh clip found they're low and device puts james six feet lower advancing three on three chaos in the ranks kick it kicks one down zip x into the sight this back and forth now the fight it changes once again kicker takes off ahead and kick it takes one more four in the pistol round puts vp on leave a level playing field straight into this final half all right are we going back into the force by wars the first time for australia so you're gonna concede bit more difficult to pull this off on that ct side time and time again but they're dipping in the deagles have been purchased yeah great work buster needed the first 100 to enable these banana players to re-aggress upon establishing control of the site lovely little pop flash maneuver as well deagles and armor see how far it gets them oh they've heard that they know what they're up against now a little bit of utility as well nate's being chunked on down banana nobody home to receive those more nade damage being thrown out still nothing to report and contact with the bomb being taken holes now oh that's such a tight line crosstalk placement has to be bang on he changes his angle of approach and now he can just hit crouch and click twice smoke grenade device can deploy whether it's short or abs he's looking towards the latter blaster will be flashing them out chimney and there oh the crossfire both of them connect with the deagles vp lose two on the way in sweaty palms now supposed to be yours supposed to be mp5 delivered to pre and device send them packing how do you get out of this you've only got one smoke left no territory to work with here vp really gets more awkward jane through the smoke with only a deagle i don't fancy his chances he has found a huge gap though right the mid to b here they can still collapse on these two b players tucked into the back of the site now but they're re-aggressing mid-chad they're looking for that perfect it's so good knows exactly well you're up two buster turns on a dime and they won't be repeating that 18 what do you do what's the battery hey james coming back behind glaive and he's already putting pressure on to the site this is madness 10 seconds the bombs in mid they're not going for it we've lost kick it here yeah he's been static like a statue so kick it out oh that is a horrible twist of fate what a weird round to shape up that they lose kick at your right all right we will have a attack here ladies and gentlemen so give us a minute we'll try and get this one sorted as quickly as possible but they were locked out straight away right you're bang on both deagles for both players connecting the smoke they they knew what they were ready to deal with as soon as that pounce came through as soon as any sound queue was made they locked them out i think if we're going to paint the picture here and maybe we need to wait in these uh technical timeouts but uh the force by war's continuing here within the second half so just a quick little restart being called hopefully we'll be back with you any moment now but that's a daylight robbery right there from astralis these teams have uh stolen each other's second rounds away from them in this map always a threat chad i mean we've been saying it throughout the the groove stage coming into playoffs for some reason i i believed it was less likely making it look easy was device and dupree though two players advancing through that balcony they both just take the necessary frag vp have the wind taken straight out of their sails stressful one here of course nine eight very very close scenes and look if we're just going to take a quick little look obviously when i've kicked it in the server to give you the scores on the doors right now but dupreeh is leading the way on 15 11 for device uh we've got nine for glaive eight for magus and zx down the bottom there on seven and uh for the other side of things we know that kika had that impact on pistol when he gets back in we'll give you his uh frags with 16 for you kinder 11 for james nine for buster and three for sanji this would be the lowest uh place we've seen astralis finish in the catawiza in some time chad was talking about the trend first pro can buck the trend in this half losing that pistol though certainly does sour the mood and their return and of kikit's return looks like he is back in the server so as we look through the luscious grapevines surrounding the a site of inferno looks like we might be ready to get this one back underway readies are typed i hope you guys at home are ready are you hydrated are you supplied with all the snacks you need to fully enjoy this counter strike treat quarter final half astralis back in the driving seat and i say that with baited breath there are aks and galil's uh foot yeah so i think that kiki managed to take an ak through with him until the next round right and uh buster had that galil right so they purchased on in a couple of deagles they've dropped the guns across to make this one work yukinda very laid out of spawn has just purchased but if vp can see this we will be likely seeing an eco round so important around here for james we wanted more impact yeah but he's taking some serious initiative he wants to hold this reveals the ak-47 aggressive mid astralis pivot into a defensive stance but they're up hoping to see utility drawn out of the cts and they do relatively early in fact good damage exchange they are very light on util so that's somewhat of an achievement pulling out a smoke of the ct's early step one of many and now they're going back for banana control glaive just giggling towards the top he does have support in zip x who has a flash primed and ready to go no info right now for astralis oh that's such a good shot he's done it before and he does it again a second chance as well device misses his the kinder's opened up long and opened up a bit of a pivot from vp device and may disk on site yeah he's going to be able to wrap around oh the molly it's so perfect man just has to be channeled into the side just done another straight away fills the feed and there's still five hearts beating for victory come on now they've got the time you kind of got all the frags he's doing it all he knows where they are they're pinned locked in with him come on give the man his 21st mages denies but the round is his and it is exclusively his vertus pro the rest of his team just there for the ride this kid's had two rounds he single-handedly won in this game second round of the game and this one right here just stepping up in massive form and they want this and they're gonna oh almost get it make us down to 33 hp alex that pick that we saw from yokinda he did the same thing as nip just the other day walked up killed res continued through same thing he's gone out rinse and repeat the same maneuver and he's pulled it off again and he's brought this level once more nine nine he's you know he talked in the interview he said uh i mean it was kind of not a direct translation he used the word like ego yeah but i think he's just referring to his confidence in his own ability and you can see the confidence in his own ability in rounds like that like there is not a single moment where his crosshair is not primed and ready for destruction four kills for your kinder that is colossal and he's pulled it in for astralis anyone else all right well what happened to the ring with me astralis don't want to give an inch mate they have four sport again device has already found a tag with that scout on to buster four players over towards bananas dude there's no way they're going to walk into this one willy-nilly are they this is the thing right you don't want to go a versus that scout he can play livery side enclaves already found an opener i can feel it in my waters chad got this boost back boost your kinder likely even spotted i wonder if he'll be able to get out dupreeh has yet to reveal himself off the back of the flash he can just intermittently it's great forces them out zfx tucks in so much damage though all over astralis have taken their fair share as well smokes don't last forever he's levelled managed to pull it back re-smoking ct standing his ground pulls another one out of them oh the cross set he's on to dupreeh he forces him down to five hp doing it alone he is single-handedly convincing the australis members he's on it way towards b but as i say that james does get caught device wanted info and finds more than that they're so low device needs more and she knocks his head off they're gonna get an a as well they've done it they held these players at b the entire time just threatening consistently are they gonna go for this now you're smoked off it's it's a bitter pill to swallow but i don't know if it's worth it it feels like they're already ducking out see what guns you can pick up you cause it's a bit of an issue for vp in multiple areas of the map try and save some of these guns they're gonna get a famous at best but they force more into this astralis don't want to give up on these four-spy situations right this is normally the team that we're talking about playing the percentages making sure they have all the utility making sure they have all the nades right now they've lost the force by wars within this second half i suppose the saved guns they have right now means they get to dip on in again but if they lose one of these and get obliterated that's a chance for vp to start stringing rounds together and this kid is going bloody super saiyan right now he really doing it on his own i mean they overcome a lot like just to kind of highlight how screwed this was you can see these opening picks of this round both going astralis way jane falling yokinda with some opening work and then that was the fact that sealed the deal a was open for business upon the loss of clave okay 10 now for vertice pro they found the double digits astralis trailing by one ukinder selling that b damage in the previous and as you highlighted a single preserved fam ass it's really not going to be bells and whistles for astralis three deagles so they can hit a couple of bangers here but oh they're going aggressive mega straight down mid yeah he's been spotted she'd have to hit the spray and he does so well onto the first it's a minor casualty though and it's not like that famous is easy to retrieve so chances dwindle vp just set up a tight perimeter for any ct aggressions sanji would be playing with fire if he wants to walk into those apartments though and it does look like he fancies his chances so device and dupree make it just dupry oh holding fast nice shot two corpses now that's something for you kinder and needed a clean one not today dupreeh not with that dastardly deagle there is one more in play in glaive's hands this is looking great for the 11th look at all the nades left over for vp as well and now they just hit pause no sound cues nothing across the map here let astralis continue to push see if they can find these gaps now they're regrouping back over towards b and unfortunately for zip x he's only got that silence usp he's about to have a barrage of nades coming into this site here vp on for their 11th stretching their legs a bit glaive's on the chase he might get there in time to kill one and he's picked up a famous make it an 8k so oh goes for the pot shot and doesn't convert it this could leave yakinda a little in jeopardy but glaivia instead of finding that frag and finding the round he has witnessed the site fall under vp control i wonder if he goes for more damage here he may as well try and hamper this economy a little bit more or even give the round a crack and i think jane might have heard it that was very curious wasn't it now it is just glaive it has a smoke kevlar ak-47 damage is great if he gets he has to go now tucked in he can smoke it off running out of time yeah i'm just hoping to find a bit more damage on that way out doesn't look like james gonna have to pay too much of a price as he silently slinks back towards banana all right not getting anything for his efforts here glaive saves the ak so at least i'll have a little bit of extra money going into future rounds 11 to 9. still difficult to call at this stage astralis are finally going to be getting their funds in order here device onto the awp rifles being dropped across everything's worked on out tech timeout has been called so give us a moment again ladies and gents you can all see the bio on your screen at home that's going to quickly disappear while we just wait for one of the members to rejoin you went for australia's yeah what was the percentage on it yeah i did i did go for a shot like i think i went ninety percent so you really i didn't expect you kendra to be doing this um i didn't expect him to just be popping off continuously is that representative of how likely you felt it was a vp win i thought what was going to happen when we get to the playoff stages teams like navi and astralis the two biggest names that we still have in this tournament show up right they show up and they go this is our turf this is our terrain you can't get away with all those little bits and pieces you've been doing throughout the rest of the tournament we will silence you navi stumbled against the domestic opponent one of which wasn't on anybody's radar before this tournament and the other right now is australia's under the pump by vp and you have to think about one of the factors with spirit uh you've got gambit in the mix and vp in the last 12 months all three of these teams have made a roster change and all three of these teams have been grinding and they are on the climb right now and so it begins everyone's got everything they desire a bit light on the kits but other than that fair's fair flash for the regress clay's not there for the walk up so the spray from buster is indicative that they've lost it they're going straight for a bxq this is gonna be real quick are they gonna commit to this if smokes and molly's drop we've seen them throw double incendies before one's out oh kickers already opened up the account and they're in into the b what an explosion of players buster catching zifex through the smokey clear and they might have to yeah they're so detached there's a change of pace for your chad just like that that was so quick they got banana control for free they weren't under any pressure whatsoever yanko once said to me if you get banana that early for free just execute b it's a two on five situation and they're going to keep all five alive unless your kinder wants to think about this hunt he's already starting to push towards spawn doesn't get the better of dupreeh who's doing his absolute best 17 kills for him now wants to hang around and look for a couple more they've cleared out construction they know nobody's hiding around to go for a bit of a goblin defuse here bank is being built now for vp this would be their fourth in a row taking them up to 12. they're almost in touching distance now we are getting close australis hold that awp for device dupreeh and magus onto their m4s we'll be able to drop some guns across to make this one work dupre can drop one zip x could buy himself or he could get dropped to famous from magisk a simple round like that and yeah the change of pace one of the notes there was they were bounding these flashes off of the roof that they were landing deep into the site for people playing close oranges maybe people on the boost right there and it worked perfectly the entry frag was before the cts could even react so another crack at it the save guns are for a reason flash is perfect to catch zip x and he does go down on his early spray vp not only at 12 but now with an opening frag this is scary stuff device steps into james line and he loses his life two early frags astralis progression here need to find a way back in buster's tucked in he's heard this he knows there's someone close and glaive wasn't ready oh perfection vp clean as can be put 13 on the board astralis starting to hear the beeps of that life support machine 33.5 on the low end in their finances yeah max loss bonus has been hit for astralis and uh the four spies that they had earlier because they weren't able to come out on top of that they found themselves in a similar position as what the vp did in the first half but they were able to bounce back they were able to be a little bit more consistent with their saves obliterated here australis and they're gonna be taking their first time out of the map lost to talk through lots to talk through because as you're right the the money it's not fantastic device can buy no i'm gonna have a uh a little bit of a drama again just give us one second another tech will be called yeah sorry about the stop and start nature of this one everyone losing their coach should be back in shortly and we are ready to go this feels like good elevator music i find it very soothing kind of puts me in this zen mindset and we are back in business hope you're all having a good evening ladies and gentlemen it seems like vpr astralis swallowing a bitter pill for some so you've managed to pull off that quick bx acute they brought out they got it for free yes they did chad all right well it's two mag sevens two m4s and that awp this is chips shoved into the middle of the table right here from australis if they do not win right here it's only max loss bonus going forward and vp need to start hunting just more more for the cis history books of counterfeiter 2021 astralis lowest finish in katowice oh will we see mag sevens and orbs change the dialogue early smokes try and force out what little utility may remain they'll have to surely respect it down goes the responsive smoke i know where the op was device after that shot quickly relocates over towards a smart he needs to back this mag seven up close on short and magus towards pitt with the silence then four that's gonna make it he's there just in time does it matter seems to deprive defeat look device and dupree or combined with a couple three on three now the max seven does definitely seems set for more he can play around that smoke always burning just a little bit trying to play with the sound cues glade finds another jame hunting library a problem they do knock him off the site this could not get closer in for the plan nade for kicker i think he'll survive oh he actually dunks him but the bomb does go down james to clutch they're both advancing he has the worst weapon for the job cautious of sure if they get to graveyard he's going to have some real issues the elevated angle to deal with he's still paranoid about boiler and that should spell trouble he found the first jumping oh he even gets the scope to his eye in time not far off glaive with a crucial save and the frags it's three from him the nade on to kick it on the plant spot as well they are just holding on right now one player survives their finances are in ruins australia's are destitute at this point right now and they need to continue with rounds like this device getting there just in time dupre running back up short you could confuse him for a t right there in fact he gets out of dodge he delays that nade was only a second too late almost almost for james as well he denied the plan as well it would have been even worse for james to try and overcome it did bring it down to the 1v1 though and as you highlighted that does mean trouble for some of the ct equipment but vp no closer advancing early towards banana strong molly and the fact that they throw it on the half wall does obscure the uh often seen ct flick on that half wall jump looks like they're setting up for something relatively quick towards a right now unless they're just waiting for this deep banana smoke yeah that seems to be the play more utility being lumped on out now maybe he might want to just slow things down don't let the moment get the better of them still three rounds to go here they've relied on your kinder with some really big plays throughout stands for the board's not gonna quite touch touch magus there tucked on in okay device often doesn't miss these you till likely calm and he does manage to connect through the half wall damage inflicted and that's all very quiet massive hold dupree with the off angle to support mages if they do advance you kinder up short the flash oh good but sanji holds his nerve and spray oh with the pin pulled dupre caught out it's on to zip x he's been quiet so far here on inferno dropping the util has to live buying time survival integral three members out the balcony he looks to punish the swing glaive arrives but so does buster now with the smoke and the bomb going down astralis they're heading away saving for and rainy day 14 found for vp one step closer to the semis chad this is the thing they should start chasing right now vp should put the hunt on they've got a lot of money left residual if they can start clamping this down and it looks like they're getting a move on to do so two players towards bottom of the banana yeah i don't know if glaze is going to hold on to this multiple targets it's so clean on to kick it for survival for maintaining the m4 buster is heading to spawn and it seems more contained money for this they could really go for a hunt right now could be moving a little quicker but you can see when you're so close to the glory i don't blame them for not being a little more hesitant money again for australis here if we just want to take a quick look at the finances they should be able to make another buy round work but they're running out of chances it's not guns that do the issue it's rounds right and their second timeout will be called for astralis in a few well dupreeh he's definitely changed his mood after that first half he was getting fired up but things are looking very very bleak now glaive can drop a gun yeah glaive could drop a gun zipex can buy duprey's gone into a mag 7 again i feel like there's much better weapons for the job it certainly limits your options doesn't it and it's not like vp are the ones taking any gambles crossing their t's dotting their eyes there's a v and an r and a u and an s in there somewhere as well okay so this has worked out weird they've actually dropped an mp9 over towards zip x who's then invested in full utility he has money left over maybe that's to drop an or for device if they do lose this round talk about saving your pennies for a rainy day australis needs to put up a fight right here right now they have to put a stop to this only two rounds here in the second half this is inferno this used to be their stomping ground many moons ago the spodek echoed with chants of virtus pro once again with different names they look to write that name upon those semi-final spots two rounds mag sevens mp9s australis up against it all against all odds looking to regain some control and it will all come through chances like this glaive set up on half wall device to fire the truck the shot pull the trigger depicts has a flash ready for this as well so it's a real trap set towards top banana there it goes the kicker eats it but he still hits the shot two rounds in a row they've gotten away with that 200 kills in a row for vp mid-round aggression has led to casualties twice now flashed in no less and a 2-2 split they're trying to change that stranglehold of denying this mid-info gambling eight they've just smoked top banana rotating all their forces from astralis over towards this a site and look exactly what's happening vp back down mid straight into banana astralis is gonna have absolutely no say in this they're left with an mp9 and a mag seven kick it immediately springs to life with his low hp and smoke he'll be trying to sell this even further throws more util make sure the steps are heard astralis are gambling all into what will likely just end up being a single frag for device he knows it's possible the smokes will land what could you possibly do he'd have to hit a smoke shot just to buy time he's actually got to construction he's not willing to give this one up chad everybody from astralis is coming on over here they're giving this a crack nine seconds he has to go down seven seconds buster has to play now he didn't play is the time no is there time oh no oh my god i was down in time my lord i thought he had the delay oh when you click when you're not in the area yeah slight delay my heart stopped it read four it read four it's four point five oh it hung in the balance of that i don't think he knew he had the bomb my god okay vertus pro have secured 15 and there could be more to come more to come more punishment yokinder's on the hunt and he does have a chance onto magisk james as well with the orp missing his shots holding on to their weapons for dear life they can send every one of them sanji hunting game on long buster for good measure takes zip x's head one more to completely deny it all magisk is tucked in and just in time sanji's there he holds on holds on to what little he has again with the flashbang though crosshair placement too damn good sanji did the same thing in apartments in the previous round so close look at the clock oh dupreeh had a mag seven as well not sure if that's the perfect weapon to catch that slightly extended range of the plant bodyguarded nicely all right five chances for vertis pro to send astralis out and to lock in that semi-final bout versus team liquid rising through the ranks upon these new roster changes cis region chock-a-block full of talent yakinda closing in on 30 in this third map decider up mid full control those mollies clear out trash and close under the porch your kinder can just continue to be slippery his specialty is long and new smoke though may slow him down he's ahead of it and dupreeh caught out completely more to come long the wrap is brutal magic's still in pit and a threat and zip x if he catches the timing oh he catches him slipping big frags sanji keeps it slightly competitive the spray is not there just james and a very loud glaze for the first maybe a second getting awkward he can finish it all what was a 1v3 now his time in the spotlight device up against it only the fam ass he's got the smoke from the side and the bomb should be planted completely uncontested device to save astralis or james to lock it in for vp 1v3 he's walking in the device has saved them he'll take the ore but he'll take that first test pass but by a nat's wing again another close one astralis are just holding on by these thinnest of margins oh my god he needed that jewel early as well did not have the kit for any funny business zipex saves the day with this double i tell me his 10th kill as well as effect so impact late but it's being felt boom had the perfect play didn't he straight through mid to b even dropped the smoke in the right place oh second guessing that crosser quick quick oh not super fired up busy just knowing what they're under right now guns are dropped again they're able to make this one work martin ferreira is completely removed every mistake you make could be the one that got you knocked out in the quarterfinals up mid taking a lot of liberties now vp a lot of space early without too much util yeah and the nades are being held onto by astralis so they're actually going to wait for late round scenarios before dunking down these smokes and molotovs yeah and glaze happy to just let that first smoke come in he hasn't thrown out his four gathered b still no utility you have to punish this what do they execute this is just walk in all right i guess one coffins one new box side they piece it together flashes are great from zip x still rotates in from dupree and vp they find the first has to be glaive going in onto second orange they're looking for him a full unload of the fam ass and your kinders found him a still hasn't rotated they've gone and device and may just so disconnected what are they to do vp this slow stranglehold of the site they've walked in they've done enough dupree out devices found something maybe this monster with the awp can find another and make it slightly more realistic sanji is tucked in a man possessed though he'd have to do it all and he has adjusted into sanji three more fertas pro have it just have to pull across the line one more will do one frag and he's running out of time as well doesn't hit it vertus pro baby they've done it they're into the semi-finals and they send australis home all the big names knocked down on their way iem calavita 2021 it's got a very different flavor first vitality furious even astralis can't touch them
