CS:GO - MIBR vs. Liquid [Mirage] Map 1 - Group B - ESL Pro League Season 9

well there we go we're ready Moses yeah I'm I'm still ready for this one this is gonna be great Team Liquid LiBr head-to-head final spot in the playoffs here at ESL pro league this is gonna be awesome I mean the roster swaps they had Zeus and taco formerly I'm liquid now coming over this is great some of the struggles that mi BR has been going through they look good against North earlier today to get to this point Stewie just spotted that he saw the leg and he's gonna take a shot but first got the kill now he's gonna back up just a little bit in towards connector just preserve the man lead scary they're fallen he said he's got to fight his way out yeah it really does have to fight his way out he's not sure where to even stand but he seems to cut the backup this is a very odd pistol round don't only see things play out this way fight now as well going on da bomb site with the bomb and coldzera gonna be picking off nav I'd I don't know what's happening anymore this aggression for mama BR is completely destroyed liquids idea of what they want to do great shot all the follow-up that's great through the edge of the box at its twist to go down next at my BR with a statement pistol round yeah I think you are absolutely right they did not know what was happening any longer after the first initial chaos there they were really caught off guard who do you have to win this one Moses I don't know how to control my powers anymore so we're just gonna let it sit that was that was nasty from fallin now I set up my beer look great against North earlier in winning that series for a north I was looking good liquid surprisingly struggled with hellraisers quite a bit after we saw them get around spine mousesports yesterday I don't think anyone really thought that hellraisers would be able to have a close three map series of the liquid earlier this afternoon no it felt very odd I was confused so out that whole game to be quite honest well I thought it might be aa to win it Moses I'm not afraid okay good for you two to nothing and liquid gonna bring out the ak-47s in round three and the creek don't forget the Krieg in a leash a lot of smg's three of them on the MIB are on the Brazilian side of things so yes somewhat of a bonus round here which could be fine especially on be not so fine for retakes I think that's where you sometimes feel the pain of those smg's but a feet cold syrup yeah I'm gonna say comedy keep doing that when you don't control underpass I'm playing forward with the SMGs over a day that makes a lot of sense are they gonna try and do it Neff is he's thinking about this so weird stack from IVR yeah now they're they kind of have to push that Absa where of it I don't think it's two people he's gonna get one but trade it off that's actually a very nice trade MIB airs gonna be happy with that control of Palace as well as such a big deal that restricts like if you're liquid and they have control of Palace you really do not want to go towards that a bomb site that's no fun to clear out that position but Allie she's almost able to find the equalizer he's fallen back Phelps and first stuck inside winter for the moment there's no utility to really handle this that's fortunate yeah that could have been a really bad highlight they still did that was felt when Matt they might still think of someone up in Hollis there twist for the absolute god-like timing I don't know what they were doing but they weren't really ready for it and now Phelps could have probably got that kill is still one on two they almost slide up and cold he's got the monitor there's nothing you can do if he goes straight for the bomb plant here out of diffuse I don't think you'd do anything but cold might not realize he might be afraid that he's just gonna peek inside of it he's tapping the bomb now he's off it a little bit he's gonna get the kill anyway really well done he's got the defuse kit that is so close another strange round yeah that's a lot of players just kind of huddled up not really sure where the next point of attack is gonna happen I don't even think cold air I realize how low a leash was at the end with that Molotov three to nothing though liquid stumped early and their first gone right and on the pistol and it might be are bringing out four augs now fallen can afford the AWP as well question is to you yeah he's gonna go for it so half investment for Team Liquid that plants gonna help with the economy the losing bonus is building up they go for deagles tec-9s easy plenty of utility as well good for MIT are obviously way too early to making kind of late long-term predictions no predictions or few Moses right out of it as quickly as possible as quickly as humanly possible might want to leave that top made twist coming from underpass mid control right with a smoke on top of the window ledge actually four players now for Team Liquid in the middle and nafas just waiting in pal so you imagine they want to end at this a bomb so you imagine this is gonna be a split in that direction looking to see if they can find a pic with these deagles early on wait for some of these smokes to get utilized liquid actually does not have a whole lot of utility one smoke in the window go for a boost so that you can hop in there late during the execute perhaps actually students just gonna get in right now but first where now you the gamble of this smoke fading and who sees use first is is really really rough well if it works then Poland's in a lot of trouble here flashbang to set it up and that's great fallen now with the AWP close range yeah he's actually boxed in nitro we'll take him down MIB are probably not needing to be that forward on defense especially so late in the round coldzera is now gone and what a miraculous round out of liquid I don't know if they can really fight this so easily felt nearly could have caught that kill probably needed to catch that kill if they wanted any chance of a retake yeah they should not be going for this the money and still is not great for the MIB are so they can find cold sarah has plenty of cash he's the only one so they can buy with these two weapons cold air would be able to drop a gun and they need to back away I gotta say that that entire round that little sequence rewatched that the way they took window room as the smoke fades Stewie jumps fur catches sight commits to the flight and a flashbang comes in at the same exact time it just completely destroys fur that was actually a really really clever little trick from Team Liquid yeah really well done and then again fallen being that close to middle definitely backfired well he has nowhere to go after that he's got a pic right to you to fall back and put your attention on winter room and potentially get shot in the back or do you try and challenge in connector and obviously gets taken down huge win for Team Liquid and a half by one [ __ ] though gain control of the economy that can build up this build up and maybe trying to overtake the lead hmm I kind of understand the idea of holding window closed and in this position for fallen I just feel like there's so little time left in that round maybe they did not need to nitro running into a lot of damage over and that a ramp actually one of my favorite plays when people gold fast on the T side so that a ramp to try and catch somebody in the bomb site or we think that's a lot of fun now when you eat a couple needs for your trouble that does stop the fun pretty yeah that does ruin ruin your day playing with an SMG while coldzera takes the OP that's over towards the be bombs it's that lets them have four players positioned at a strange position to be hoping from inside a B isn't it it's like that one pick I think the real the the biggest strange thing about it is now that there's smoke yeah you could see in the mini-map colds are had to readjust as soon as the smoke goes in towards connector cold has to move because no one can spot off catwalk and he was well overexposed goodnight damage from MIT are so far in this round it's nitro to 16 and Stewie to 47 all with utility 50 seconds Bolton playing close with that MP 9 and that's where they're gonna show up oh no look at the rotation my PR they have no idea they're calling for it to be a be hit fallen has the only one here with an SMG two players coming this way pin nitro is low he could get a quick kill and be able to build upon that that'd be huge and actually now Emma BRS rotating back coldzera has got a deeper angle into the halls liquid might have missed their timing but that's a big first kill right out of the sky as fallen falls huge shot what a follow-up from nitro beautiful round he's so low in the beginning and he still brings it back in fer now yeah he's on the bomb side 15 seconds here they're trying to clear it out and a little bit of trouble here they're coming in from the connector and they're gonna take care of him so 9 seconds here the bomb is gonna be planted man I don't know if you've read if you rewind this round you're not gonna be thinking that it's liquid coming out with 4 people alive and a bomb plant like this those are great shots from Nitro I was absolutely beautiful first the the first one on the Fallen is great but then the position to take up next over towards CT spawn perfectly builds upon it and that just means the stack of MIB R has nothing I've liquid has a pretty damn good idea of where colds air is trying to save this Sooey twists are gonna come in through the halls there's still plenty of timing in the bomb to make this happen a leash gonna be on catwalk as well cold Zahra gonna have to fight for his life to keep this off and it's been quiet the whole way they he has no idea how close their there's the drop down there Stewie easy one for him doesn't even need the off doesn't want the double up but takes everything out of the hands of mi Villar oh I love that I'm all about that life that's good yeah that's really good also want to be careful some of these players in the MIB outside get a little bit sounded like his voice was close to cracking as well which always really lessens the impact of smack talk yeah it does it was really at the edge there but I don't want to try and discourage them I think it's great we need more of that kind of a thing this is one of those rare setups as well where the players they're not like next to each other across from each other but the player area that this group stage is you know they're all playing pretty close so you can you can't hear that so it's not always a possibility you like to see it a reinvigorated teamliquid you could see they refined that confidence really quickly and they're gonna be tying up the score line here 3 2 3 that that decision to go that hard towards the V bomb site definitely cost them a lot it really did I mean that's that's a decision that's cost them two rounds now well not not just that but you add on like the great play in shots from Nitro with the ATP now they have a double op setup on the T side they didn't want to pick it up previously but they've invested into it now got a timeout for Team Liquid yeah a lot of discussion going on okay so this sounds like I would imagine it it seems a couple going in hauls and so it seems there would be a faster play towards that a bombsight which is interesting I'm really curious y'all this double up setup would go with some kind of an attack and that especially if it's a very fast pace that liquid knowing how important this round can be knowing even with the investment that I might be ours made they're going up against guns they know that but they know the money is still low on the defensive side focus in the eyes have fallen for the longest time in global Offensive it just seemed like fallen could make no mistakes when it came to building rosters right like every single pickup looked amazing and it all just worked now well it helps when you pick up cold Sarah it does help out oh nice shot from naff cold with the return they're on a leash but it's been a while we need this MIB our project to really start to come alive again or people might start to lose a little bit of faith Phelps trying to use the ladder for a little bit of extra speed I think and now I'm gonna go for the fight but Swiss will take him out not bad at all now long rotation from taco through T spawn they have some time here the Bombers are planted yet and it'll be another 5 seconds before they do get it planted so actually this could be pretty good I think the tough part for the liquid now is they have to op still in play and those are not the ones they're gonna aggressive on the bomb sites or twist is so important how when is this off what does nitro turn around to watch rabbits just now he drops off the boxes it's all about timing no one's looking there's two players here a huge mistake switch turns but nitro can't react great from taco lack of communication and crunch time for liquid in this round and uh naff has everything to do he's already got to kill with the off at a one versus three from palace he's got the first shot great stuff now just shoulder peeking and he wants to know and he's gonna get shot down I really wanted to believe nav could do that again he's just i've he's such a fun play to watch snafu is he when he's in the right mood and maybe that game from earlier could have woken some of these liquid players up like you'd really that was sort of their their time to say hold on yeah I'm not sure how that communication occurred what exactly happened with nitro and twist but it seemed like nitro is pretty committed to watch the flank and then turned away from it and just two players at the top of this ramp you could see it no ones I think maybe maybe nitro told twist to stop swap with them and it just didn't come in time that's a tough tough loss to take for liquid back to just the one AWP on MAF and he actually as we know fearless goes to challenge fallen in window yeah even the pre-emptive Molotov to cancel out the smoke but you can understand my fallen maybe doesn't want to repeat into any of that once he is due up on the other side we're on number eight for two-three favoring MIP our ever-so-slightly money really good for liquid still not so good for MIB our bomb is dropped way far back in mid can I get that boost up in towards a window you'd imagine both them helping to clear out waiting to see if there's gonna be any kind of a shoulder peek this is a very aggressive defense towards connector Phelps in closet could kill from fur over the smoke twists gonna try and punish and I've seen fur cuts to win that battle he's gonna get really over the top twist retreated at the other angle Nathan a leash now started to try and apply some pressure to this a bomb sight maybe take some attention away from connection but fallen and fur are still there and Phelps still has not been discovered he's just waiting for his moment they have three Molotov surely one of them is gonna go to Phelps position and he does done he doesn't even have a smoke to cancel it out yep there it is you can't do anything but run into it so dangerous to be there and look at who's looking at top mid it's still twist that could be HUGE if they can get the pomp hunt down and twist could do a lot from this position a lot of grenades going in now 19 seconds that does not catch the guy applying the balm otherwise that would have probably been around and that would have been huge but they have a chance for the retake nitro is so low gets aggressive twist need to get into the action right now he needs to start moving the bomb is planted for him so it can be somewhat patient but he's getting closer and closer a leash and now still waiting at the top of a ramp can take attention away from he's waiting for the proper moment to pounce and there it might be he's got that second head shot that's great and now Alicia's able to peek it's fallen left in a one versus two and he's gonna go for it he's already closing up with that shot I think now he just says it's not worth it we don't have the money and another round for liquid really well done that was nicely put together for for liquid and yeah well that position for Phelps I mean odda he's not ready that I want to blame him but we do see it every once in a while and when they had three modest homes like that that's it's unlikely that they wouldn't at least try it I think all things considered he did a pretty good job I mean he gets small topped out and he gets a dink on nitro who's pinning him in with the OP so yeah he goes down but he's done great damage fur should be no surprise that we see him being active in the opening kills this was great from twist he found a perfect timing that second shot is magnificent so not just tied up but heavy economic favor right now for liquid and they are not gonna slow this down I kind of like it I kind of want them to try and bully MIP are a little bit obviously want to be careful of this saved AWP but I still think this is not a such a bad idea it's gotta be a little bit careful you're right because of the off fallin starting to disappear though and I don't think he wants anything to do with this fight again just gonna save the off such an important weapon to have when the buys eventually do come in they found Stewie in mid he's available but they can't complete the kill three kills for him and fallen gonna back away with Stewie's already boxing him in fallens trying to be quiet about this but Stewie has the idea now he's grabbed the crossing ball he's got the kill as well fallen had a small chance it's not gonna pan out and Stewie's just getting louder and louder yeah he's excited fighting some former teammates yeah that's always exciting very ancestral match we have going on here yeah it really is four to five I think liquid off to a fantastic start twelve thousand on a leash here at the beginning of this round I mean what what couple what a pair of games we have NRG Australis is on the B stream as well that is on the third map again playing for a playoff spot and it's almost tied up it's 11 12 in the favor of NRG yeah here here you have these two teams playing for a playoff spot as well yeah that a Charlotte's game though Charlotte making a pretty big comeback so energy probably are gonna be a little bit stressed I imagine yeah I don't know look like liquid are about to lose two hellraisers early on it if energy end up beating her Charlotte what a day it would be round number 10 yeah I've ER oh no oh oh it's too far cold Sarah that's gonna be so frustrating what a way to go down you really hate to see that have a known you sort of almost like a free gift there for liquid five two three and it's time to get a swap it over towards to be bomb site really just taco here with an m4 a couple of mala source behind actually one of them does to a little bit of damage and he has to fall back off getting the kill but they're just absolutely everywhere and even Stewie lurking in the middle good hit that's a perfect look for Stewie they had bad such an advantage five on three you can afford to just attack with four and let that v player you know play by himself flybys intuition the fine Phelps he already does three kills on the round for Stewie he's 12 and five in the first ten rounds of this game liquid is up six to four and they've won six of the last seven yeah this is starting to look like a brilliant first half out of them which is really good news um I mean you could probably make the argument that they weren't that prepared for hellraisers and probably are more a little bit more prepared for might be are so there could be some sort of class difference there but still it's nice to see that they are looking a lot more composed here and they were earlier dirty little flash bang for a never saw it coming yeah I think the other thing to discuss when if when you see liquid coming out you know I guess maybe a bit flat against hellraisers is that's a team they don't have to play too often they they obviously know it might be are intimately as well that probably feel way more comfortable in this matchup despite the names on paper another beep bomb saying yeah I mean you you said you wanted to see liquid trying really muscle and bully might be alright this map they're starting to really pick up the pace they've had some five fast-paced tactics had some aggressive ones towards different parts of the map and they're they're starting to be successful with it as well so much like what day one we're seeing the team you know start flexing a little bit yeah it's good that's where we that's where we get started isn't it yeah it's building up the hierarchy don't know if we'll get all the way there Todd it's hard to follow up on that game the whole like that was that at everything it did fallen has discovered an ak-47 so I guess that's something there was a point in time when you would have said even like a somewhat weakened MIB are you really couldn't bully anyway because they would have had just the raw stopping power yeah well they always seem to have a plan right they always seem to be able to know what the adjustment was and an individual level the cohesion of the my beer players for some time was just insanity but yeah you see it now it's a different conversation around this team you know coldzera just gave that interview he's like we're working really hard but something's not clicking with this team like he's openly said it yeah we've we've seen taco and fall on both say and interviews after devastating losses as well so there is there is a certain level of dysfunction within the Semite be our team right now as they they try and find the solution to get back towards the top so a very competitive team and still with very dangerous individual players liquid though again talk about bullying they want to go towards the be bomb site fast they eat a lot of utility damage and naff can't get out the window good stop from coldzera tacos here as well they don't even clear them out twist goes down tacos gonna get another one great defense here all five players still up for MIB are that's exactly what they needed nitro gonna try and do some economic damage at the end but the round feels over three defenders here already yeah every kill nitro can get though is definitely gonna make a difference get up out in this lake right on to taco still another three left and that was a leg shot so I think that is what ultimate he's gonna kill the dream here gonna get shot at the back I I'm gonna say something that was that was not a bad idea of liquid I mean they did step on a grenade and then when you try and get out window and you're taking damage like you kind of get stuck get frozen yeah but I like the idea of of them trying to see if they could knock knock out that be defense one more time because if they do that that's what like three or four rounds in a row they go be it saw well it's also like you also to look at in the context of it's the benefit of being up seven to four when you make that call right if it's if you're down like four to seven or you know whatever it might be you probably don't make that call you know that's at seven for you you have some rounds to play with and some rounds to get creative they're gonna keep up this pace I mean it's this time it's trying to bully towards the a bombsight the followings gonna love that with the AWP but maybe not as his teammates start falling he's got less people to keep the space all so blind and now still has the lineup fallens gotta drop the smoke he burns out a half HP and there he goes he's down through the box it's coldzera a gap in the smoke but nobody needs to challenge that they're planning front boxes in liquid they cracked it open again I can't believe naff got that shot he was he was really flashed and somehow it worked out perfectly Phelps I think had to walk into it because of the Molotov dome and that's that's the reason why not gets that kills cuz he knows his job right your job in that position is to be holding that player in for the vault off or getting him as he runs out of the flames and even blind just take the shot and see what happens that's all you really can do now he's gonna try and chase down these weapons he knows he's got one close he's done a little bit of damage cones they're gonna stick around though last couple of seconds here nothing got to come of it still 8 to 5 the pressure and the aggression here for Team Liquid even when it starts out well because if you're fall in that position you get that first killer out of the palace that usually is what's gonna slow down that push so much that maybe you know it actually never just happens even like adjusted his crosshair down yeah what a god yeah Neff is he's not top of the scoreboard or anything right now but I always do like watching him play for counter aggression coming out so am i BR saying all right if you're just gonna be rushing anyway let's just try and see if we can make this a straight-up fight and it's gonna be returned by nitro who's been having a pretty good game this is a dangerous angle though if you're my BR fallout and colds air both have to be mindful of the possibility of this now there's no one in middle for liquid to apply pressure on connector and force them back into the crosshair of Stewie Stewie that's that's pretty bold yeah that is extremely bold don't see that a lot of the time obviously playing with a lot of confidence though he's had a great start to this game yeah I like that everybody likes that now they're gonna have actually three smokes in a Molotov and tacos over here defending B with a single flashbang now I don't think that's gonna stop everyone that's coming through here it had to be the best flash of all time he's did a pretty good off angle though Stewie's sticking around at a ramp I'm trying to figure out if this is gonna be he doesn't have a lot to actually fake with so I'm wondering if he was gonna peek up when the when the set piece came in over at B and maybe try and grab Phelps falling back or something but it's actually abandoned that so this is just kind of a lot of dead time as he comes to meet up and he'll watch the flank and he'll be able to set up with the AWP Tacos got a lot to do yes he does then through the first pot that smoke landed perfectly right as he was about to have the angle cold sea or their whatever hero play coming through taking down night rubber taco dies without seeing even anybody and I don't know Phelps unfallen it's round number fourteen Hutus hard to imagine they could win this I think if they go for it then I have any money next round yeah that's that's the tough part and I think you kind of peek in and you see what you can find they do have one smoke for the ball that's it's making their way there that is the problem because they obviously know that twisting now have taken the site they just don't know where Stewie is got to assume he's gonna be at this site and they start backing away no mistakes made my team liquid so it might be all have to bring whatever they can into the next round and I think this is the smart decision you need those weapons you have to imagine lose at least one player on that kind of a retake and fallen has 2k right now so he'll be able to drop one weapon over to his teammates but pretty pretty desperate times this is a very powerful half to come out with for Team Liquid on the T side mirage and it's so much closer to the liquid that we really love to see where you know they're not afraid at all to take some of these early fights and even even if they get punched in the nose a little bit they just fall back make some pretty good calls and then they still end up coming up with the win some of these rounds so really hard team to play against and you could probably tell why I this has been a 92 run ever since MIB are won the first three rounds off the back of the pistol the very first gun round and then it's been all liquid it really has been looking for a 10th round to just make that first half just a cherry on top isn't it yeah that's double digits just really show them who's who's the daddy for push here by far could could be a huge benefit if they go for that mid crunch to all day but already at a minute and 10 seconds we've got a modest table left on MIB on I think that's I think it's YRC and falling back out of window room just a bit because fir has that position he can be he can be a bit more passive and then look at the position Phelps is playing in no danger from Pallas whatsoever colds there on catwalk he's got the dink but he can't complete the kill that's Stewie but Phelps has a double he gets burned but he's done his job although a leash is still wreaking havoc on catwalk this is tough for him at the art but they're handling it very very well yeah and especially fur up here I think once you've cleared everything else this is not a position you're gonna be really looking for Carmody blames true for that one that is that's very unlikely ilish 30 seconds in a one versus three slop on that box and fur will take him down so they do win a final round four nine six here I'm not sure that's enough liquid with a power performance in the first half here yeah we'll see how that my rear can handle their own offense when we return for the break [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm killing your favorite rappers minimum every of course getting severed the industry tries to desert do whatever it is you thing that you're doing I'm doing a better straight double useless my letter don't know snakes only ladder you say they trying to figure out what's on our plate infinity saw ways we already made giving us basic skipping this class to stay out of trouble now I can relate every little I still you're doing great I just witnessed [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah push start muscle heart play my part [Music] nine six in favor of Team Liquid here at the end of the first half what the first madness well on the best of three but well it could looking much more like their old selves and there's such a scary team it's fun to see them play this way MIB are it's not to say that they can't come back and win this game but it's gonna be is gonna have to be a crazy performance yeah they were they withstood as best they could six pounds I mean All Things Considered isn't isn't the worst thing in the world of problems the gun rounds are overwhelmingly in the favor of Team Liquid now one of the CT side you saw Stewie they're one of the leading players with the leading player for Team Liquid and twist is gonna have point here coldzera what's this duel a little bit of a chess game going on as he's got this p250 the rest of his team over towards the beat Bob so he just wants one kill to make this worthwhile to cause a rotation he doesn't know it but he's already keeping three people here so I think if they go for me that's probably the best chance they're gonna get obviously if he gets a kill it's just gonna get even better but he's holding a lot of people hostage on that side it's the position of naff that has me worried up on that V platform here in these holes cuz usually this means nitro would have a flashbang to throw in as soon as they think the hit is coming but he's got none of that utility math they're gonna jump around the corner he ate this kill he can't get it can't line up the headshot that should be pissed around MIB yard yeah deed it will two on five for liquid I don't think they can come back into this we we actually Stewie being the top fragra for liquid we mentioned it earlier in the half he actually went like four or five rounds to close that half without a kill we mentioned it I think he's yeah 12 + 4 12 and 5 I think 10 rounds in don't knife don't have him you know what happens to it is it's a bad idea good boy yeah he must have watched that game yeah I just try and try and stay away from that now I mean that's one of the things too with the with the shouting that they're doing they're winning rounds you know never know if you're gonna waken the Beast yeah I wake the dragon so to speak I would be worried about that definitely with someone I called zero well good round out of him IPM nicely done and if your naff in that position I mean I think you're totally right but it's like you have to hit basically the first or the second bullet yeah that's why every - every time you miss a bullet the chances that you'll actually win that fight just drops by like 80% I didn't I didn't see what nitro had I know he had a kit and usually when I see that kind of a setup from Team Liquid nitro has a flash for a now I've seen them do it plenty of times especially in those be halls ya don't know we were focusing on cold that cold zero duel at a ramp so I didn't see it like maybe maybe they use those two to clear up for me maybe they tried to find a time and you get a peek and they just use both the utility yeah it could be what that's gonna that's gonna give maybe a little bit of energy to em I PR maybe somebody could work with well they won the pista round and the first half and I I think trying to recall exactly what the pistol round score was against hellraisers but Team Liquid I know they had lost you know the first four Pistor on that series like five or six they they did lose five out of six pistols you're right so there are pistol rounds today have have not been good and this one makes it now seven of eight that they've that they've lost yeah now luckily for them because of the economy change it doesn't really have the same impact that are used to but be quick we couldn't make it sound like it was a good thing actually I'm sure we could have we if you really worked hard at it either way connector control over that might be our despite the scouts AG fer gonna lead the way let another one follows up and that makes this dangerous all that made that could do so much cold Sarah down about half HP but they're chasing Stewie down and he can't get away a leash has got one twist he transfers over that snap and now look look at the HP of cold Sarah for how do they get in these pistols are gonna be an absolute nightmare liquid swinging two kills for cold Sarah opens it up how are they still alive this is not done yet the bomb is still dropped on the floor there's only 24 seconds how are they gonna get enough control to get the bomb plant down without losing another player in nitro sniping away with the CC gonna get that kill on for only 15 seconds he has to run fall and there's this really knows slowing down on this he's had the straight run for it to get the bomb trying fall back and eight seconds he can't fake it if he puts it down at least gonna surely running and take him down it's too far away oh you might just be ilish now trying to circle around the box falling there's no armor and a leash one headshot will do it there's a little bit of damage slowly chipping away at him and somehow they wind around anyway their triple play leash oh my god that's gonna really hurt I might be on that's unbelievable those Scout tags and Monty are just got so bottle neck at the top of connector they couldn't make their way forward that's absolutely mental and liquid we just talked about how many piss arounds they've lost they did it against ours as well they respond on these second rounds pretty well with relative consistency it's pretty it's pretty wild ten to seven teamliquid leading over up my BR those kills would have turned it in the favor of the Brazilians but my chose position on catwalk just too strong and obviously the time not a friend whatsoever see we need the pistol round don'ts numero Mo's well I think there's there's very few teams you can win those four spies or half byes the way the team will liquid does Taco that's great work with the cream liquid definitely didn't expect him to have that weapon no they they and I'm a double pushed they're fighting behind that one pillar coming out on the other side that's kind of hard to control pretty much no matter what weapon you have it nicely done taco helping out his teammates Aleve Peaks right into the CC Phelps this this rounds already one for it my BR just because of first position the rest of the team could just hit I mean talk about his great work with his two kills but I mean the rest seems just no one move just let fer find you one more kill and then it's all over and even if he somehow doesn't get this even if twist takes him out which he might at least you have the information and now certainly I'm just pulling him out into the open and twist has about four different opponents at four different angles he does go down so I might be I'll return the favor well now things get real interesting quick back and forth early on half here am i beyond it's I mean it's so strange when you look at the names on that roster what you said earlier and what they've been saying in interviews about something not clicking do sort of have that like you did you're holding your breath for that to happen on you kind of I mean if you were holding your breath without to happen you'd probably be dead by now yeah you would probably it's been a it's been a minute that we've been holding our breath and waiting for it which is probably the most worrying son these these reunion tours that we've seen in counterstrike of old rosters coming back together after some extended time away it's it's tough to make it work yeah for so many different reasons either way yeah but at the same time it's almost like a bit of an addiction like if you start watching all these mi VR games you kind of feel like you have to keep watching them just because what if what if you miss the one game where it really works where it's fight where they're finally back nice kill to start off with your leash this time beating taco and even stealing the krieg fur though infiltrating the defense and I think that's all they needed yes might have a little bit of trouble with the position that Ali was in inside Palace that could be dangerous but just not enough to to keep them slowed down how long can you hold your breath home not long no no when I put up any kind of a dollar seconds on it minutes hours I don't know no what are we working with him it's do you want to test that other weed or a plastic bag out back I'm sure we can find out if you want got a pool as well I think the pool is a maybe a better idea yeah maybe let's let's do that great content we'll call in a medic or something okay yeah we'll have paramedic supervision or Henry Henry oh I trust Center with my wife well of course actually saying that why I don't know something tells me in crunch time Henry's gonna be a reliable reliable person to save your life listen I respect your decision I'll be the guy with the camera phone it's 9:00 to 10:00 and we've run over 20 I wouldn't say that I'm really worried Philippe it right now but I would say now we've as viewers as you know connoisseur is the game of counter-strike we can we can thought to enjoy this a little bit more now liquid just did a bit of a ninja ninja vanish situation just sit behind that smoke and winter room taking shots with their pistols they've done decent damage on two fur taco and Phelps and then they they slip away before all the utility damage can come in they don't really have any great advantage so to speak even with that damage they just don't have the weaponry till I kind of capitalize on it and the AKS are starting to dictate the pace of this round but nyb are being pretty slow and patient they've got advance position and the bombs still far back everyone just watching for pushes they don't really care about planting quite yet with well over a minute the round taco overextending a little bit he got dumped by a legion hauls the last round as well he's had a couple a couple tough ones against the pistols that'll happen every once in a while but now they're on the bomb site over at a and they should be absolutely just fine Phelps Freddie starting to come alive he also seems to be playing with a little bit less stress maybe not happy to run around with that ak-47 I would say in this in this version he might be a Rasta I actually kind of would be looking at Phelps not always to be like the top track or anything but but in terms of energy and and just overall you know sort of baldness I already already I would expect for him to be the one to really pick it up okay I think he's got in some sense almost more to prove than the rest of them so it's gotta be tied up 10/10 though what do you do feel acquit in this round Mo's what haven't they done on the CT side what about a double push into P apartments this time how'd you feel about that pushing on the pass first time I've got a lot of a lot of options there oh you've tried your aggression in towards Palace and obviously didn't pan out doesn't mean it won't in the future but I I think you know this first run we're gonna have guns I think you play you play a pretty standard one here we had this kind of conversation yesterday this is the first time I've guns in a while I like I like mixing in the aggression but I think at some point you'll know early on you have to have just a standard round you was very conservative on that side I mean I'll get I'll get wild and crazy but you know you got to have you got to have a standard round okay here and there no kits for Team Liquid tstewy 2k1 kill in the past ten rounds yeah that's probably gonna have to change isn't it are they really gonna surround run Bruce know what they did did not work here we go Oh jumping out into the middle you like to see it that would have been so good but now still be making out for that otherwise poor ratio setting up for the small gauge so they're coming no problem at all that that didn't even close to work out but it was fun no it was tough because wait hold the thought Phelps has such a good position inside winner a bomb is so far away though that's the one crippling thing about this run thats gonna be heartbreaking for taco and phelps they're in such a good spot but nitro actually owed the monosoff as well he could actually catch twist right now twists try to run back there's the kill now nitro went back through t spawn he did not see the bomb at top made up your buddies albey oh no what in the world is going on triple taco down to six health and an alphas probably confused now as well because the liquid never like you said never saw the bomb don't realize it's on the ground soon a fizz probably thinking that they're running over to the B bomb site which I mean is the case for Phelps but he could really catch taco here this could be so tough all the timing of this is everything tacos gonna pick up the bomb oh no he could catch him as well only 30 seconds even a forgets taco then he has to bomb and there's gonna be almost no time Phelps will have to run nope oh my footsteps gun is out yeah this is this is basically Oh taco did you know oh my god that's got it now stop the kill now I could just hold on to these holes that's the bottom of the ground at Phelps has to run for it and now this calling his bluff and just saying we'll see if you have the time to get the bomb and pick it up and get over there geekycon if you've never runs that's it you can you never make it back to the bomb site oh no I can't believe it what a weird situation all the rounds of Mirage that we've watched I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that I mean do we even want a replay of what taco just did I thought he saw him somehow he just like stopped and looked no but I mean the first kill when he jumps around a corner ready a pallet nitro that's well I don't know if it's illegal suddenly immoral should be some penalty for it well liquid is that Golden Rule Moses they're given a bit of a miracle first that botched run boost with the AWP the bomb being dropped for so long it back at walk you're supposed to die from that I trow wishing he had a Krieg instead of an m4 a lot of things twisted a leading inside the bomb site twists with only an SMG and it looks like coldzera he was posturing as if he wanted to challenge on a ramp what a freaky round that got me they're coming excited and now I mean again this game is really turning something 11 to 10 and remember as well this game is for a spot in the playoffs or elimination one of these teams is going home yeah that's hot to even imagine isn't it I think both of them beat by North early on of the event yeah North uh playing well so I mean all they're gone but yeah but I mean but generally speaking they're playing much better than they have for a while yeah an energy took out Australis just I mean they're not gone but still three molotovs Anders I think they're gonna Molotov twists yeah Alisha is gonna get mauled solved as well tacos got one for that so both of these positions are susceptible from Team Liquid and it's an aggressive defense over at the B bomb site an offense to e now just turned to rotate nitro getting the flank underway twist moves out of his position they now know exactly where he is here comes the turn of the quarter they've got them both box in Alicia Val gets one oh he continues as he pushes forward two kills for a leash I don't know if it's enough though I know P the flank is coming in pretty quickly though on the other side that's nitro flanking with the mp9 degree didn't always the best thing in the world but Stewie's waiting for it he 19 seconds he just wanted to go to the warm planting thinking about it a bit of a flashbang gonna set it up and what a great double kill stewey absent from the game for a long time here in the second half but last couple of rounds he's really made up for it the bomb is planted but cold Sarah I mean he can't even move out of this position he just has to wait he's gonna have to rely on to make it a bit of a mistake and it won't be happening Stewie to pick up a triple instead and liquid now up at 12 they did throw the molotov twist and then they had nobody there to catch him yeah the fact that he's able to get away that on that whole time and then you have to play from alesia's well I mean they see him go under in the dark and that could small talked as well Alicia's able to just push out of it date so they chased twists into that corner and when they killed twist everybody's flashed in a leash I mean otherwise they would have funded a leash down there yeah so it is a lot of it comes down to that initial escape the twist is having you see there everyone's flashed out that first one a couple team flashes there this kill on taco as well taco got team flash twice by fallin maybe not as bad maybe not full blind but definitely distracting twelve to ten liquid take a lead the plant is gonna help with the money situation on the Brazilian side fallen has an AWP they've got plenty of utility this is the last buy the Brazilians have though yeah it really is I don't know that's that's great play from Stewie holding really waiting for the perfect timing you have to really appreciate that but that didn't look like a round that was gonna be MIB ours just based on the utility based on the weaponry on it on liquid then it's gonna say think it was so an SMG and play for liquid that play from Stewie was huge I mean that's a big risk just to get to that box and assume they're not gonna clear it assume that they're not gonna be able to see you here we go well twenty three four players from IB are at a firs Ian one at a ramp it's gonna be they want to bust out of the palace then what a bus out of these halls but I'll he's just so close up and he's got the first can't get the second it's a bomb though they have smart at the bomb MAF is gonna start peeling away from B and MIT I'll have to make a decision quickly if they want to move this forward it has to be now but they've slowed down the pace Phelps is gonna back off with that ball yeah the minute in 26 seconds I think when that was happening they can definitely justify doing that look at the utility on liquid that's really the only downside I could tell right now is that in spite of winning that round they don't have that much to work with the Nitro over at the V bomb site and Neff is there as well with a smoke and a Molotov so if they go for it and he's still around those are really big tools to win around with they might crunch medal instead with taco still up there mm-hmm I have plenty of utility on the offensive side of things what the off angle for twists in there they won't see it coming out of connectable they know they won't tough part is if they come up connector he's gonna be in a really difficult spots to he might be able to help him and you could see he's trying he's trying to find some information but there's no Intel to be gathered Stewie now gonna rotate back towards CT spawn there's MAF he's got the first kill from catwalk all that utility they don't smoke it they don't Molotov it and that's what you get two kills from naff well played from him I might be I wanted to do a contact play wanting to remain silent for as long as humanly possible and it doesn't yield them anything bombs on the ground taco gets one but he's traded off immediately all right the war-cries are coming out I think naff actually tagged twist through the box not that it really mattered but um you know fun little detail it's such a it's such a fine line to ride whether you use your utility now you could tell mi BR wanted to start attacking the bomb site like that they wanted that to be the signal that they were hitting a they did not want to use the smoke and the Molotov zon catwalk but that's the risk you take and they lost two players for it yeah cuz I mean you're absolutely right if you throw those grenades you're telegraphing the plate use your boxing time but but if you don't you could get killed by a knife instead tough decision yeah doesn't feel good does it and now they're back on really nearly nothing liquid now taking some pretty big steps towards winning this first map especially economically that could be a deciding factor good flashbangs nitro in the corner and he's gonna get checked what a push and look at the connector here I felt oh how does it each to that I don't but that kill allows them to go for it Austin we gets caught do you still want to go for it if you're liquid in the a they tried but Alicia needs it back away they don't have the money to lose this weapon as well MIB are not done fighting just yet C Z's swarming that be bomb site or seasons should I say since we're in this part of the world well I mean how does it make sense I've just crop started calling in CCS as well but it doesn't even make sense does it why are they why are they different letters Moses if you just pronounce them the same I don't know all right well it's disappointing what you try and stand up for for the decisions my country made in years past yeah I don't know maybe it is correct though we have a lot of weird ones well did you know there's odd fact that that the American accent is sort of closer to what you know the original British accent would have been like so after the British people sort of went to America then they actually the people who stayed behind you know in the UK they change their accent huh so it's a this is a we effective I didn't know that I think I'm gonna need some documentation for that one I do make up a lot of things someone messes with my brain a little bit yeah here we go once again around 25 this time it's liquid they only have the all gonna leash they're gonna choose to save probably could have forced up and we know they're effective with it but that's a big risk to take a 13 to 11 that would mean your next save round allows them I beer to tie things up it's making me uncomfortable it you no longer trust everything I say I feel like I had a real edge when you just said you did for a bit when I was a young naive eSports compensator yeah you probably could have messed with me a little bit more okay I don't know what this game is gonna go I can't believe it's this close liquid have looked like they've been playing they have been playing a really good game but MIB are kind of rising to the challenge I think that's probably the surprise for most people right now isn't it this setup is so cool for Team like with three players inside this night with the pistols Alicia she's gonna have support on catwalk with the aughh when does he get involved there's no smokes to block off his vision either he just needs a little bit of help from the players inside the site and he's got this angle everyone's distracted Oh Alize it's just a deathmatch shooting fish in a barrel and even a leash getting hyped I love it I absolutely love it he's saying that's the third four spots in 30 go we've won yeah and you should I've never seen a leash that pumped no he was I mean he should be that was this is amazing it's crazy what happens when you start actually winning tournaments that does yeah it does really boost to morale doesn't it but still yelling as well I love everything about this liquid line up right now if this is how they're gonna be in the future a little bit more personality a little bit more flex then really good job yeah all good things fallin with an AWP round number 26 year even Molotov m.i.b I've you just go back and think about how many rounds like that one where they almost caught twist in in get right and you they had that one they had all the weapon advantage and they thought this a lot of them all this time they absolutely catch twist they might want to liquid might want to think about if they don't get one of these kills there is a player and connector as well now what is saved from that that's from window room he's been so crucial on finding those players still he's brought down to 9 HP there's a small gap in the smoke but not enough to really exploit they go for the boost over he's looking for somebody he's looking for anybody got wide he's got the palm of the ground they're still one close to the smoke they've got to be careful fur has not chosen to go for just yet now he's got a leash the information is there and nitros dropped as well but it's a crossfire fallen spins it gets one more Oh doing through the box delays it just a little bit longer and taco now desperately searching for the information he's gonna jump up almost the flick from Stewie it's so fast and through the box again so he wants one more taking so many shots but quickly hoti back behind cover he's solo and taco is just toying toying with that Stewie goes for one more he's gonna miss that shot you might as well keep going for it and now he crosses over into CT spawn he's gonna repeat it again taco I mean some of these places he taco making now it would this would be a study you know worthy so I'm University student go back and find like early play some taco and late plays in his career minute Hayes a lot of career left but I'm just saying some of these plays he would have been so timid in in the beginning cuz he wouldn't be the player to sort of make those and it feels like everything he's been through it's really shaped him off to be a little bit more of a bold player but what a round that was I can't believe that boost worked yeah that's that's crazy he's able to slide out and find that one then through the box immediately afterwards Stewie at this level just changes the dynamic of attea just enough to make them that much more deadly 21 and 14 for him 23 and 14 for a leash let's not forget some of these shots coming out of fallen well that spin was was nasty that was beautiful stuff yeah he was getting shot in the back yet to jumped like land and just take that shot immediately what am at round 14 to 12 and again I mean MIP I'll lose some of these rounds they are just out of money one more time now instead it's liquid surely they can't win more forced light more these round head before Stewie's gonna let him know if they can't win this 1412 and it's it's to the credit of liquid the fact that they just keep extending that lead just by one round every time that they're able to even take these saves you'd think one of these is no she'll leave with 7,500 you think they'd force into one of them but because they just have that one round meter if they're fine what Alicia's not to kill to all this it cannot happen this cannot happen again the mac-10 pinning fallen down as well he's got to do something crazy twist goes forward there's a leash with one more and now taco somehow spins and gets it but Jesus these rounds cannot get much more dangerous from IBR if I really can't believe it they smoked him off for that reason they were like let's let's play this as safe as we can no reason to like play around with that window will smoke released just like I don't care it's gonna pick up the kills anyway they could have won that round if fallen doesn't get the help from cold in the middle there that's it then they're playing - buzzes five my god that's wild I thought that I've fallen it yeah there were so many points through my beer could have lost that 13 14 not gonna see the guns come on for Team Liquid nitros down to an SMG probably to get the utility there a little bit light on kits Stewie's got the only one with an AWP as well and timeout called by MIB are fifteen seconds who are going to get back at the game awp on Stewie that has been way too exciting oh god it's just as it pops as well I thought it was over a point I was like oh yeah yeah it felt like it well here we go ladies and gentlemen get everybody involved round number 28 here you sell pro league and again as you said elimination maps that we're watching right now everything is on the line liquid I mean obviously favorites to win this game but MIP I reached a level that we don't get to see them from them nearly often enough actually no you have to give them credit they've come out at a very very good level today this is a very good game out of them for a team that struggled so much to make this line of work to make this reunion line of work I'd sure wanted to get aggressive but I think the counter flashes from I might be are scared that idea out of his head four players from my B are in these B halls liquid quickly running out of utility three flash banks to Molotov Nitro is one of the B bombsight alesia's one of the a bombsight I guess that's maybe they're the only saving grace for their utility can they lure somebody out for taco to kill he's alone over there if they throw the right grenades peeking and stuido that could be dangerous what a play from taco he probably wins that almost nine out of ten times if he does that could cause a bit of interaction now instead of running back nitro mp9 down here phelps taking one and oh god nitro one of them a little bit of help there from the Molotov and he's still alive Stewie picking a fallen and it's all on firm thirty five seconds one versus four he picks up one and Stewie takes him dying down blind as well in the middle of it and that's gonna be mat point here for liquid I thought he threw that Molotov way too deep but perhaps it was perfect because it actually forced him to fight in the fire against naff he gets the second kill with the malt off to clean off of that battle and now this is the worst situation for him might be oh they did win one of these rounds earlier but they're gonna have some players relegated to pistols furs already got cz armor and that's all he can afford you have to imagine perhaps last time out for MIB are being called right now Team Liquid up fifteen thirteen two chances to close this out before overtime you really have to assume most of the time taco wins that fight because if your other player plane CDs want that is not where you're expecting any kind of a fight Stewie was looking there for a lot of the time so you think oh it's fine it's probably covered and then out comes the Creed I think he did the classic I think he missed the first few bullets with the Krieg and a lot of the pros I've talked about it's a very powerful gun but the the spray pattern is still then you know eluding a lot of people getting used to it 15:13 teamliquid a real chance to close it out they've got a decent amount of cash behind this but you really don't want to lose this that makes things dicey for the final round for round 30 but they're going up against one SMG and four pistols excuse me three smg's well there's certainly a lot of speed behind this Phelps right into the I think now was your spending for catwalk I think you just got lucky and there's a gap in the smoke leash takes advantage a five on three for the first map liquid on the verge of going up 1-0 yeah I can't believe now if I think you're right you might have just been doing that falling gotta be a one kill doesn't seem to be anywhere near enough just pedaling backwards and it's gonna be all unfallen here one versus three with a map ten and twenty to health I mean some of those shots are start of this round with liquid yelling all the way through at MIB are really making sure they're on notice that's gonna be its first map going in favor of Team Liquid and you can tell Stewie absolutely fired up I love watching this what a great game to start this best-of-three with phenomenal performance from liquid a narrow victory good challenge from MIB R we'll see what they have left in the tank for map 2 we're heading to a break when we come back
