CS:GO - Natus Vincere vs. Virtus.pro [Dust2] Map 1 - DreamHack Masters Spring 2021- Group A

he was playing so well we'll see if he can keep it up here against vertus pro it's a regional matchup between these two cis teams that can always throw up some funky results dinko and there was a period of time where these two teams were playing each other pretty frequently nowadays they haven't been playing each other too recently it's been a couple of months since we got this matchup so it's great to get it again see which cis team is gonna be going through straight away well the testing bit the new player here for navi's finally found himself that permanent fifth spot he will be tested as this b play comes in from vertus pro he moves forward off the back of the platform flash assist him from perfective allowing the first pick but it looks like vp are just wanting to swarm into the site finally getting rid of bit now they've got rid of him they've got the sight and that gives them a huge advantage retaking this b sight is very difficult especially when you're a man down with no utility and no kid yeah they're going to need some early kills here to have a chance vertis pro are all trapped on the site they don't have tunnels control and that's where navi are going to try and make the most of these couple of players but yakinda's got the usp for the long range fight nice trade from boomi but still so many angles to clear they both swing on him and electronic is nowhere near the action strong start for virtus pro they get the pistol yeah i mean just testing the testing bit down hawking you know they just he does a good job initially with the flash of perfecto but once they just lose too many players inside of the site not enough damage output to really go for that retake attempt there's no other option right yeah i don't think there's much else you can do bit they're falling after getting that initial kill and you just lose the sight so fast unfortunately in those pistol rounds you don't have that utility to stay alive to slow your opponents down now electronic has bought the mp9 no one else following up all that quickly on the navi's side but they're finally getting that by together looks like they are now all on the same page that they want to go for their second round force up as you would generally expect to see on that ct side vp they've got two aks and black wheels the fast play out long is the call and electronic he was the first to buy the mp9 and he's the first to get a kill on the server in round two quickly traded out by yakindar it's booming the victim of his rifle but electronics swiftly upgrades to the galil let's be careful here gap on that smoking kicker he's found the follow-up kill for vp they put themselves in a very strong position now i feel like that's always a strength kicker has is understanding when there is a small opening when there is something that maybe isn't necessarily something you planned ahead of the round but you have to quickly on the fly make that decision do you want to take the fight there on the edge of the smoke or not kicker decides it's a favorable fight and he is right in his assessment of the situation gives his team the man advantage they've got the mid control they've got some utility left to work with although they are missing a couple of aides they only have the one smoke and one flash clearly have the edge in terms of weapon positional advantages as well there's no one anywhere near the a site right now so you can just walk up catwalk get the bomb planted at this point now if you probably just consider the safe call right you want to at least have something to play with going into the next round if you can keep three players alive with an mp9 and eagles and kevlar sprinkled across the players more importantly and you can certainly do something with this definitely the option too i think it is a bit more difficult on dust 2 to make the most out of those weapons especially if a play ends on a and you're kind of getting wrapped from long but there aren't that many positions you can actually play on the site effectively with those pistols in the smg oftentimes those closer angles might just be mollied out so not always easy to make the most of these weapons on this map specifically but definitely a better option than just giving them away on some mad retake attempt 2-0 lead for virtus pro good start to the game for them should turn into a 3-0 stop and we heard the desk talk about how bit is now getting integrated fully into the lineup this is one of those maps that he is yet to play for navi here on dust2 this is his first time playing this map with this team so we'll definitely be keeping an eye on how he slots into the squad it's a big step too is it's a big step up i mean when you look at bid as a player i think from what i've seen from him in his old navi academy teams i watched a couple of their games down in the tier two slash three regions he generally did show some good fundamentals and obviously want his step up into navi there was a little bit of a transition period in sort of learning how to play properly in his roles but you know he's shown that he can learn those positions he can't adapt and i'm excited to see what he can do he's got a good amount of firepower we'll see if he can fit and slot right into navi oh well i think we'll find out fully once we get into the gun rounds these half guys are much more likely to have something slightly different to the norm you want to throw your opponents off guard you want to throw them for a loop with some of these weaker weapons unfortunately for navi the one hole they've left in their defense is on this short position apparently the a site is wide open for the taking from catwalk and i can't execute in from vertis prop making sure all the utility is placed properly no one from navi is close by to really you flush out these positions or really cause any issues for vertice pro right now the kendar mp5 at this range it's it's not the best weapon but he's attempting every fight anyway finally runs out of ammo and goes in behind cover and the ak is far more suited for those headshots and and speaking of headshots sanji is one of the best in the world of getting those headshots alex he's got some ridiculous headshot writ now he's up there one of those very high percentage headshot players twists is another one of them who i guess does it more often with the rifles i feel like with sanji oftentimes it's like he has a d and he has to get a head shot almost exactly no he has to get the head shots because he's always playing on guns like mp9s back tests right if you're gonna get a kill it has to be a head shot so it all adds up when it comes to sanchi as a player and man everybody needs to sanji in their life especially you're put in those really hard positions where you probably shouldn't get a kill which i think are a lot of sanji's spots then yeah you kind of have to just aim for the head shots right because if you don't headshot you're probably done for this was your kind with this mp5 and sanji finishes off that awkward pit in picture but we've been waiting for the moment when navi can get some money out and finally they've done that it's simple with the all got not much utility around it but you don't really need too much and james has picked up the awp as well so get that all battle straight into round four i also love how james just decided you know what if i don't have the orp i'm not going to get any kills or deaths early i'm going to wait until i get that up out he's got it now that was some solid nade damage though as you pointed out couple of nades land into lower tunnels both of them connecting yeah your kinder is not going to be happy about that start down to 39 hp to start off round four the first gun round and play it's all about getting the first round on the board here for navi umich attempted to be burned out of the car but has smoke ready he will stay in his position for a little bit longer and this is that slow style of play the analysts were saying on the desk ankle and blood now they were talking about how this one could be a real long afferent we're starting to see the early signs vertice pro know they're up against the buy round they like to take their time they like to figure out what's going on before they decide to make their play and it's good to see that navier holding on to most their utility see perfecto jiggle beaking the tunnels with that molly ready umich just used his smoke earlier his teammate throws one for him to stay alive on the car but virtus pro have the mid control they're looking for this b split looks dangerous yeah they're going to be pouncing on the b side bit is held on well he's got rid of kicker but the rest of the squad about to come through tunnels three up here one in middle making the play through the door as you kind of but this be hold has been held and your kind kendar tried to get rid of electronic but none of these kills are going in for vp finally jim gets involved but he is alone and off for the save jim goes he's not winning this one he's got to back away there's only seven seconds left in this timer as vp just back off and save this all there's nothing they can do yeah kendall was sitting there on mid and he was the man who had to get that kill in towards mid doors because as soon as navi pushed through that smoke at ct as soon as they clear out that position and call to their teammates that you're fine for mid you don't have to worry about mid just focus fully on the tunnels it makes it so much easier for navi to lock down that b site there was that kill for electronic probably not one he should have been able to find and then you have those open doors now no smoke up there means that electronic can help his teammates on the site so your kindle was put in a really pivotal position in that round just fluffs his lines slightly and that puts vp in a really hard position they're all just pushing through the tunnels they can't do much to win that route good stuff from navi though getting back into position making sure they help their b players out and the pause coming through unfortunately at the start of this one so hopefully we can get this resolved as quickly as possible and back into well i suppose you can call action i mean that round was really a non-starter for vp right they tried to play it slow in towards the tunnels and i mean i i think bit did a pretty good job but we're gonna get an update where there is action that's over on the b stream twitch.tv forward slash esl cs go underscore yes csgo b and while we take a look at this one it is fiend versus team spirit four in terms of the player count right now in this pistol it's gone to the it's going the distance the third map up fiend are impressing everyone i think in this one i like to imagine that that url isn't csgo b it's uh it's cs gob just because i love god b yeah back in the days i love that big team i mean you're a big fan boy aren't you i still i do like their players just play start yeah god was god was the mastermind of that though brings me back to good times well victor's looking crisp on some head shots unfortunately couldn't get the pistol in there for fiend we'll keep you updated on that one over on the b stream but here on the a stream it's navi versus vertice pro two cis teams who have been on a little bit of a slump recently right and we're just seeing if they can bounce back and it should be a real fun matchup throughout this best of three right it's gonna be a slow one it's gonna be that slow drawn out playstyle from vp we've seen it immediately into the first gun round uh unfortunately there wasn't much action happening for the vp side in that round in fact james was the only player really jumping up and creating a bit of excitement so good stuff from navi good team play um obviously we they had one best of one this morning for navi a little bit of a curveball throwing their way with the overpass pick boomish was saying he wasn't expecting that map well certainly a long one in the best of one uh showing against mousesports but like you said simple had to do a lot to get them through and i think that's kind of expected when you're going into a map you haven't expected then you have to have a play like simple just be that x factor be that play that no one else has and just get you over the line it was the only player on his team that had a positive kd in that map electronic was the next closest he went even but definitely the simple show in that opening matchup i think heading into this series i actually feel like vp need this result more than navi because navi have actually had a bit of time off this is their first tournament since about four weeks ago so i kind of expect some growing pains for them even if they have come off the back of the boot camp whereas the vp they've been playing this whole time and it's not been going well for them yeah i mean i predicted them as my favorite team back in the fun spark ulti tournament and honestly they kind of disappointed and i think they would definitely back that statement heading over the b stream again spirit up 2-0 after winning the follow-up round and seems like fiend are just down to what seems to be a little bit of our upgraded pistol by oh for team spirit i mean i don't think they'll be too happy with how the day has gone right you've had dexter show up and have a big performance earlier against g2 you narrowly lose that out over on mirage and the best of one now you have to go in and play against fiend and they are a difficulty man that's a team that a lot of people will have been sleeping on the fans at home that maybe don't know the history of these bulgarian players but team spirit are finding the hard way that you have to play against some of these bulgarian players and they will take you to the edge og and cloud9 already know about that and that's why they're not here in this event and i guess one of the reasons maybe cloud9 on here at all but yeah i mean the fiend they were void folded in the qualifier now fiend and we'll see if they can get themselves a win if you're interested in following that storyline again over on the b stream yeah definitely really cool to see these guys still making it to events like you said that qualifier run was really impressive from them a lot of really close maps too where they had to step up in high pressure scenarios and they actually did you know we were saying about how this was going to be an incredibly important qualifier for these guys to get a chance to prove themselves they came through and they absolutely delivered in a lot of tight moments so definitely look like a team that can also perform under pressure which is exactly what you want when you're coming into probably one of your biggest tournaments of the year exactly well that one looks to be a long one and we continue into our one we fix the issues we're back into the action it's 3-1 for vp but they've just lost their first gun round it was very convincing for navi jim over there saving his awp well so we'll still have that in play alongside the ak-47s for the rest of the squad we're back into the action round five definitely going to be keeping an eye on whether your kinder can get away with some of his aggressive plays on dust too james having a look at mid and he wins that first fight simple landed the shot but it was through the door he only goes down to 14 health and james hits him right back with a clean shot where it started coming in from jm obviously winning that old battle early against simple but again like you said shot was landed so a little bit of issues there for simple he goes down early on and now the rest of his team might just continue to fall boom itch picked out from the a side bit further down on the ramp molly's coming down into ct spawning bit he's just looking for some peaks over the top some heads to try and shoot out but no one's giving him a single chance and the bomb plant will come through for vp two players up a clean take of the a site and you start to question if navi were even in this round they have to save their weapons vp up 4-1 and this is a good example of how much pressure the cts can just be put under with a single death early in the round they've just gone crumbling in this one after losing that first fight i think especially when it's off on or because simple you would want him to be holding that a sight and they're running down perfecto they don't want to let him save this or surrounding him from all angles buster gets it at the end nothing available for navi saved into the end of that one vertis pro pulling the punishment down on them and that is what makes it so difficult right your orb goes down at mid early vp are going to be so much more confident at that point just running up through short into the a site because they kind of know it's unlikely there's an orp up against them and then you can just run it onto that a site and go for the play navi not giving up without a fight though they come back with a buy early utility being used up at long and buster he will be the front man in this charge electronic is blinded but does have booming of blue he's got the mp9 he might just be able to help out his rifling teammate in the pit molotov deeper boom mitch on the fallback buster is not allowed safe passage back into the longhouse instead humich taking the opening kill for navi you've still got electronic that hasn't even needed to come into play yet finally they get rid of pumice and yakinda takes down electronic so the initial fight might not have gone vp's way but they're still simple lurking around the corner waiting patiently for his first kill of this map he's got the orp in his hands to try and do it peak about to come his way and a tight angle made the most of by simple he's going to get back to safety and leave his teammate bit at the car to watch long that orp is trying to stay active trying to get involved across the map but verdus pro are now walking up long they're just walking up expecting this fallback from simple and bit they're not going to check him you can dock falls down to the rifle you take a look there is still one incendiary left in play here for sanji james trying to get the pick he knows bit stuck into the car finally that incendiary will go through that shoot force bit out into the open he's trying to stay alive and eventually we'll go into the crosshair of james low time remaining 25 seconds left i think bit might have been trying to wait for a teammate to peek with him but simple wasn't close enough to allow that to happen and now verdus pro run it all the way back to b even when it's late in the round these guys are capable of this i don't know if they have time though this is hella close no joe is too far behind he's too far behind they can't do it oh it's another one of those awkward rounds they have to get planted immediately and there's just not enough time to win it too far away jim was the back player just a little too far away from the b site and navi i mean they don't even have to fight towards the end of the round because time is vertus pro's worst enemy oh i thought we were gonna get a replay of the failed plant there that would have been horrible it would have been we don't need to see that again you'd see this shot from simple though just a shoulder showing james was able to get this one in reply but 30 seconds you're on long you have to know those timings to a t and if you don't one second two seconds off the round is lost you don't even get a chance to play it and i think you can see verdict pro realizing that round was not one they want to repeat time out taken yeah you don't want to be fumbling rounds like that so just time to regroup time to refocus a tactical timer is the perfect call right now for vp and i think navi you know that initial long setup i probably would have liked more out of electronic but you can thought just swinging out you can't do anything about his nutty aim right he's just hitting those head shots electronic did have an initial good setup with his teammate boomich and i like that they're going for those setups in long i want to see more out of that from navi because even when electronic goes down they have the follow-up protocol of having simple nearby despite the round win avi are the ones who look slightly worse but we're in round seven but they still have the orb of simple early shot lands here comes your kinder though hunting down the trade frag and bumich was left alone along there trying to fight it all by himself that was always going to be a difficult hold for him back to the 4v4 but simple wants more yeah they decided once they lost long they'll go for the short play instead and simple his neck's just been snapped off and kicker doubling up electronic and simple both out of the round oh now vp just need to stay alive with these four players run it on to the a site and it should be around confirmed james realized that he didn't need to take that fight at mid as soon as he took a couple of shots he backs away onto a and vertice pro have a fifth round in the bag and simple has been trying to be very dynamic with that orb he's tried to get a kill and then quickly switch up the position look like in that round vertus pro were one step ahead of him yeah and i like the call i like the the movement from simple and electronic there they lose long they just give it up completely and instead drop back into a site and then push down short together it's just unlucky that you know when simple misses a shot or a kicker just lands a beautiful headshot you know you expect the tree kill to come in from electronic but it just wasn't there and kicker is hitting some nutty shots right now good double from him there also is a chance navi were thinking they had the long control and that they were just going to leave boomich there and then play from the side but but once boomish dies here you basically have no choice right you can't just give up on long and short and just play it from the side in that four on four you kind of have to go for the re-aggression and i think vp were aware of that themselves kika just lines up those two headshots really nice aim on display from him and navi's economy continues to be called into question this time they only have a single premium rifle but they have decided to go for the investment jam out long this time i'm blinded and forced off the ankle so he drops back no death at long in this round it's been a very common theme throughout this map so far this time it's a slower approach from virtus pro and they're going to be walking up through short perfecto yeah to get a kill on the board he's got his incendiary in his hands and boomic going for a little bit of a walk towards long there is still a player holding that holding the extremities that's sanji if you could think of a boring role it's generally sanji in that position definitely i would not like to be perfecto right now though mp9 solo holding a he's done well to pop up for an initial kill long is being held by his teammate so he can wait patiently try and survive and they not landing on towards him he's buying time for the rotate here navi are getting onto this a site yeah perfecto has done a fantastic job of just staying alive he's let the rotation come in but you kinda and buster lining up the navi players finally boom it's getting involved in his pistol but sanji coming out long boomers has still been able to find a follow-up he's still standing i thought the flank out long from sanji would have been enough but he's not able to get the kill and now it's on the gym he's landed the shot but he hasn't got the kill and navi are up in the 2v1 sanji's going to make up for that prior mistake he missed the free kill previously 25 seconds he has to go for these fights and the off angle from boom itch is one sanji isn't prepared for navi steel away around thanks to perfecto surviving on the site and then thanks to boomish coming in with a quad kill they should not have got away with that but navi will take it all day long yeah it's just unfortunate seeing sanji right that's a free kill right now it looks so good for vp once your kinder buster get these three kills but you have to bring it back to perfecto he was the important player that you know you're off standing these players are coming at you just running you down on the a side with a weak weapon and you just stay alive long enough okay nice shot landed out long bits down to 24 that's a big fast flick there from james at least navi get the long control boomich is going to be able to play in an aggressive position we know that boomitch is one of those players who is willing to push all the way through the long doors too this round might not be a bad one to go for that because verdus pro are putting a good bit of pressure on mid this time simple lands are shot through the door yakindar down to 31 health bp continue to run their play though starting to get onto short oh your kinder is so low 19 hp hg just slightly connecting with it a minute left on the clock and short control is what vp have to play with now you kind of going to walk into the tunnels just to make sure no one is pushed no one's a quest looks like they're going to be setting up for a play into the a site for the meantime for vp fake it out and drop down though it does come down to time they have left themselves for too little time before hawker they have plenty of nades left too so many flashes smokes available for them and they are going to start to use that utility now a couple of smokes into a but the bomb is focused on mid and likely a b split yeah of course they don't have a player out long they don't have a prawn now you've got your kinder in the tunnels though and they're gonna be trying to win these fights but the time is ticking and the bomb is down jm unable to get anything in his perfecto and boomer stepping up it's your kind of left alone 1v3 with the deagle he runs on in and simple closes it out fight the four navi win the round and vp again i think they're just a victim of the clock there you know you can still try and figure out a way to win that when your initial plan doesn't go right hawker but the bombs down and you don't have any time to go and pick it up and then run into the site yeah they were always cutting it fine there to be able to take the site it would have had to have been a pretty clean take as soon as navi start to win some fights and slow things down starts to become more and more of a long shot for verdus pro and speaking of long shots this round they have five blocks i can't imagine they're going to get much done in this one avi seem to have stabilized it after a bit of an uncomfortable start to the game they're about to bring it back to an even score line yeah i think it's far to say you know you don't have to believe in this glock round alex as much as you can be an optimist in life i think this is a little too far i mean jim isn't even at the pc though i don't think so you know he's got his hands off his mouse and keyboard finally has arrived and you can use these glock rounds as a timeout right you can just use that time to talk about what you want to do in the gun rounds and i think there's plenty to talk about for vp right and they can fix a couple of those rounds some of those late round calls just need to be a bit more well oiled oh chunky never nice when you don't have the kevlar it's also kind of nice for vp that they just bait out a lot of navi's utility in this round you know you look at navi's economy it's not like they have flushes of cash currently ahead of this one so every piece of utility you bait out is something that has to be re-bought but eventually you've got to go for it and with 30 seconds left they will be trying to get to b rumble stat the ruddy trying to get some rum boost action going on some gymnastics practice in the eco round for versus pro and now the fee flight it's easy peasy for a bit it's easy for perfecto and just getting usp headshots as well just your kin dot taking out the round five to five and we get into the important ones again vp getting back to the buy here hawker and we've seen their gun rounds we've seen what's gone wrong we'll see if they can fix it heading into the next nice work from bit with that secondary sniper good to see him getting some kills under his belt he's already up to eight top of his team right now see if he can keep it up though because it is that aforementioned gun round for vertice pro james has the or aks across the rest of the squad smoke from the t side will give kika an angle if he wants to the molly wasn't actually extinguished though so he didn't have the option to go for it oh that smoke hits bit now he has to go back doesn't want to get tangled up in that smoke vertis pro leaning in towards b you've got four in the tunnels one in bottom middle right now it'll be a gym and you kendare will be joining him the two big hitters for this virtus pro side and to be honest kicker is look crisp today he's had some important rounds and some important kills coming in so again vp running this block out just making sure short hasn't been taken by navi and bit on the back lines you mentioned he had a good round on the previous we'll see if he can do it against the gun rounds this time it is a bit more of a difficult challenge when you've got the rifles in the hands of vp and perfecto is going for the spray down through the smoke hits the headshot onto sanji yukinda looking for the back plat players put in the open they'll caught between a rock and a hard place but buster has found the important picks in this one a 3v3 38 seconds left and now they cross over to the b site navier fists with a 3v3 retake of the b site and in general you start to ask questions of if it's even worth it going for this retake attempting to be at least they did a decent job delaying so the bomb has only just now been planted that maybe gives navi a slightly better chance on this retake but the thing you would really want here is a bit more utility they only have one nade and it's not going to do enough yeah and i mean at this point now he made the decision they're going to be saving into the next round and i mean that's why vp lean heavily into b right hawkey when you when you initially kill the the b defenders you can maybe lose one or two players but as long as you keep it even or maybe you keep the man advantage you can then take the b side and you already put that question in your opponent's head of is it even worth it definitely something worth considering it's also obviously the position that bits playing on the navi side so you can test and see exactly if the coordination is fully on point for those navi players in this round they did a good enough job to begin with but the molly onto bit always was going to make life difficult once perfecto went down they knew where he was buster gets that head shot to the back of the site and that's all they need to take a sixth round win at least navi save those three guns though and keep themselves on top of the situation for this one still a full and james looking for the opening pick into middle he spotted the leg the jiggle peeks but jim will not get that follow-up peek from bit he gets the info he needs and he drops back look at this long push here from booming he's been loving some of these aggressive stances into was long just getting outside of those doorways it's been pretty good when they test him pretty standard start to the proceedings not a bad nade from electronic and booming burned out of position down to 60 health he is able to get away safely so vertis pro have the short control they've pressured long somewhat navi are now going back to the a site as well simple is just gonna float between those two positions making sure long has some eyes on it now the molly just burning out any of those close positions kicker now setting up his execute looks like vp want to go for the short play but electronic and boomers are inside of the smoke and the kinder is close by they're just fighting their time eventually that will be revealed and it should kind of with the first pick boobage on the double make it three from the format that is huge from boomich and that's verdus pro being chopped down to two players with 24 seconds left they've got to figure out how they are going to win this round nice shot from simple no flashes against him he's always going to get that one and james can't really get involved in the action he gets one kill on a rotating player but with the bomb being dropped over towards a and little time remaining the round is over surely he spots that he shoots the gun that flies across his screen but navi have the round and james has the option to save the orb which he will take what a hold from boom itch though that's where the round is won it's a risky setup from navi playing aggressively like that on short you have to step up and boom it's definitely delivered he wasn't happy with one he wasn't happy with two he wanted a full three-course meal dinko he definitely had a tasty one yeah it's certainly tasty lots to eat on shore and i love it from navi i love that setup you're gonna punish them for being lit on the the round right just get up in those choke points get up in their grill and when the smoke spitted away boom she's like sup just kill three players no problem for mass in hand as well incredible round from boomi and james is looking down mid looking for the little jiggle peak again similar setup is the last round it feels like it's the same one to be honest and jim just walking up short kicker will be joining him this time the core difference being vp's buy of course looks dismal so it should be navi cleanly picking this one up you don't want to give any chances away to jim because this is the round where he needs to make the old scene this is where he needs to deliver him with this stack this boost this isolates james this makes sure that even if he gets one pick you've still got that trade potential right you've still got that second player holding short you don't get that control straight away bring that molly down to make sure they don't get overrun on a instead jane goes for a pick elsewhere but the flash is beautifully timed it sprays it down the molly's gonna land they can't even get the orc back it's up to the players with the pistols to try and push onto the b bomb site nice shot from bit to begin with just before the smoke blooms but vertus pro have brute force the bomb clock yeah they have the bomb plant is huge it obviously gives them a lot more money to play with and again now the outside of the b side this time up against weaker weapons this time with utility molly going through kendall's close to the window flash though by the retake flash going over the b site now we still haven't got players inside the site just yet so vp still for the time being have control of the b side but for how long do navi wait to go for this your kindle is closed she's waiting for that fight finally electronic will strike navi dive down they get all the kills and they get a seventh round navi just waiting patiently for the right time to set that retake up ensuring they have the player ready at tunnels everyone can just get into position and move in as a unit up against those pistols you should be able to overrun them this was that flashbang though lovely stuff from electronic just takes so much of the threat out of the rounds and even though they were having to play outside of the b site to focus on that mid fight i think that's the right call just focus on one of those sides make sure that you're not vulnerable from mid and then even if you give up the bomb plant on b it's not the end of the world because the retake should be fairly doable this time bit going for a bit more of an aggressive stance into the tunnels there is a lot of vp players around the corner here comes the utility bit will be under pressure he's got a second kill and he deals with the pressure well he does not crack instead he gets three kills and he cracks open vp another one for a bit could he get the ace it's shut down finally by james is looking good for a bit on that holder 4k delivered from the awp and now it is all on james stuck in the tunnels navi know exactly where he is they've got him pinned in there even if he tries to cross back for his classic save it's simple watching the t-spot exit oh simple's moving in but j moves away i think simple might have spotted him no they don't definitely know where he is he's fired the shot to the site and simple is gonna sit make sure that james is stuck how long will this mexican stand off land for last four there we go it's uh it's done and simple he was the player they have more patience than james for once here you know jim moves forward into his crosshair the time ticking down and he goes up the round now a bit you just have to talk about this hawker what a haul from him and just going in and out on a close angle then he doesn't go wide on this one he realizes he can just tuck into the corner he had the rifle support initially but then was just about able to get the quad kill on the round that b sight has been pretty well defended so far it's been pretty solid against these gun rounds i like that vertus pro finally tried to switch up the pace but even that gets shut down for them and heading into the last round of the half it's only the 18k to work with and that's in the hands of james well boost up oh simple he's close to the headshot and jim probably felt the wind go past his head right there no kill looks like bit is going to aggress again he's got confidence from the last round he's going into the tunnels he's got the small angle and he hits the shot that's the bomb didn't want to risk using any utility to keep that control though didn't want to pull out a smoke and maybe lose your life unnecessarily gotta say for navi it is pretty rare to see them winning while simple has not had to do too much it's a really nice sign for them that for once it's the other players on the squad that are doing a lot of the heavy lifting simple on that a site hasn't been tested all too often 45 seconds remaining in this one it's another slow round for vp but they're starting to use up what little utility they have left on mit yeah it's gonna be that b split attempt trying to come up and test but again but he has been fantastic he's got that rightful support from perfecto as well and vp it's a bit of a non-starter in this one a 2v5 with 25 seconds left that bomb down in the tunnels it's already done it's just a formality we play out these last couple of rounds our moments in the round is simple we'll close it out with a double it's navi who go into the second half with the lead i'm looking forward to see if they can continue it [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] things best friends [Music] is [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] is [Music] uh [Music] oh [Music] best friends [Music] again the second half continues with navi in the lead it was simple with the 2k to close out the first half but it wasn't the simple show he was relatively quiet it was the new kid on the block bit who was stepping up over at the b side of the map with that awp that for me had the most flashiest play we head into this one hawker and i think first probably relatively disappointed i would say with some of the t rounds and now they're down three rounds going into the second half it does become very difficult when you're up against navi yeah definitely especially with the way navi were playing them with them not needing simple to go super saiyan yet he's still got a lot of room to do that if he's called upon here on this t side and you would expect him to have many more chances on the t side see if that is indeed the case first it's the pistol round full kevlar right now for vertice pro your kinda yet to buy he finally buys one set of utility at the end there while navi have got two sets of nades of their own and an early xbox smoke to kick things off one export export bet odds at the top of your screen it's navi and voters pro close as you can get it really it's navi you've shifted into the favor and you can definitely see why heading into the second half and over for vp it is five sets of usps a little bit of kevlar sprinkled across and you can die now with that utility i want to see what he does with it because navi you pressure down mid early they've got electronic just jumping up onto the xbox sanji that's drawn that opening kill though for virtus pro first blood in favor of the cts always a nice way to start the pistol not much utility here for nadi either they've really got to use that flashbang to close the distance otherwise these usps should be favored in these fights yeah can't go for that not against the usp especially when you're a man down as well right now navi can't really afford to take any of those risks what are they going to do though seems like they've got a player out lower tunnel that is simple and kicker he's going over towards the a side of the map simple would have heard that crossover sanji is going to be playing up short and boom it's running forward but it's simple with the quick reply sanji has don't want to well in the pistol to keep a man advantage afloat for virtus pro now jim looking to go for the long fight they can take that long control that does put pressure on the short play from navi and the shots are coming in for you kind of and kicker they've got themselves into a grip position and now it is just perfecto a good start into the second half and a much needed one for virus pro and navi unable to ever really put the pieces together of a proper push as a unit towards that site because you've got those glocks on that long range angle it's it's really hard for everyone to try and commit like that when you know that you're running the risk of just getting shut down entirely they didn't have the nades left at the end there unfortunately to give them that ability to close the distance more easily and some good shots from vp deny them sanji always a player that can be looked at for those pistol rounds he came through with the early kills now we might have the chance for some easier frags up against the low investment from navi flash at the ready from jim he can pop his teammate into the short peak apparently bit is near the xbox simple coming out top middle now walking up short with his deagle and bit will be the man gathering that early information and simple likely to go for the peep with the flash it's going to allow you kind of just to dive into the open sanjeet backing him up as well they come out with three kills and finally they go down to the p250 of perfecto oh that was long and labored but finally comes through the brothers pro round needed some help from the fam massive kicker and mp95 is very fast sometimes you can lose track of the spray quickly the first pro were always going to have success in the round james has the long spawn with the orb drop to him so that's going to be a good chance for james to try and open up the proceedings early you've always got to be on your toes on dust2 dinker you can get some very early fights the run out long for navi it's like fast oh and a collateral from james a monstrous start to the round for vertice pro and what navi have now got to figure out you've just lost boom itch and bit in one foul swoop what is the call how do you pull this back you almost wonder whether navi thought that was a safer play because they assumed it was unlikely vp would have an orb so early you know we're only three rounds into the half it wouldn't be necessarily a guarantee that james has an off on the other side so they go for flashes over the top and they are unfortunate to line up for the orb of jane but he'll take those all day long also good for jamie had that long spawn that's what helps him get into position and now navi really have a tough time getting back into this not only are they two players down but they have barely any nades left to make this turnaround happen you can not he did work well with sanji in the last round for multiple kills at short he's there this time with james and they've got themselves a double again is perfecto left alone with an ak 47 versus four and definitely feels impossible and untouchable right now fantastic round from jane to get the 3k he's looking to close it with a fourth and he'll do it nine to nine we're tied up good work from vertis pro just getting the early advantage and a 5v3 is always one you should be favored in closing out they do exactly that they do a good enough job but it's all about this initial shot from james umich and bit trying to clear out different angles they almost were spread apart there but the lineup just about comes through james goes on to close out the round for his team now navi are the ones back down to another lower by you have to remember verdus pro here have won both pistols and fit has got off to a good start with his pistol in this very round eagle shot lands on long that could be a cause for concern here they would love to try and steal away that weapon it is out in the open though i'm not sure if they're gonna get the op you wish you had a nade right now yeah if you had a nade you could blow that towards you but you do have simple and he'll make some space and bit follows up as well but the eagle the scout it doesn't even matter what guns they've got and now you've just thrown it up into the hands of simple now things get exciting navi have a great chance of course is looking done now at this point let's kick her back to white he was the only player that could have done a thing that and once he's smoked off there's absolutely no chance to even find a small slither of hope as vp back away it's navi up to 10 rounds and you've just gotten up that's a nice little freebie that you've been able to pick up there absolutely gotta love how bit is playing right now he is keeping navi in this game with how he's playing he's won them a lot of rounds i mean from that first half bit was 7-0 in opening duels just winning a lot of early fights when called upon on that b bomb site now he's coming into the t side and he's getting even more entries yeah and if that's the bit we can come to expect once he gets comfortable once he's slaughtered in as the full five fifth man right if he gets more comfortable as he goes on with navi the only thing we've seen is the trajectory upwards so if that's the bit we're getting now i hope we can continue to see that forward because he is exciting right now he is cracked oh unlucky boomish trying to rush them down at the end not successful but navi were successful in winning the round that's against an ort by the way yeah that's that's pretty wild and then of course we're sort of figuring out how navi are going to get this open and we forgot that simple was there so i guess that's out attack timeout having to come from him for vertice pro they have enough resources when they pull them together to get a decent enough buy there will be some weaknesses of course sanji onto the for mass no stranger to that weapon for navi they've got a nice little investment now now that they've won a round they shouldn't have they've picked up a free orb they've got a lot of money they didn't expect to have a bit of a buffer for them and they're on that t side of dust too where both of these teams have actually got a slightly higher win percentage on on that t side it is one of those maps that you have quite a few teams that prefer to play on the t half al navi get the chance to do exactly that with a slight lead in their favor ten nine up could definitely still turn around but this time furthers fro with heavy focus on a long early will be able to hold off that control but they won't be able to do anything about this push into short and smoke's up short it's the deeper one for ct and boom it's just going to drop with it you can die with the head shot just as well as well because quick kicker was looking the wrong way and kicker's going to drop back he's flashed out of the ankle and he'll get over towards the b ramp vertex bro have the man advantage and they've made the right call to send an extra player to the b side of the map here because here come navi it's two riflers on the b side two and then your kind of the faster rotate so they've got all the rifles already in position simple right now searching for a way in but verdus pro are content sitting back on the site that's going to force navi to post it push the issue and we'll kicker he'll be the difficult player to flush out of this position they have spotted buster's position they know he's there they only have one or two molotovs left here on electronic and bit we're going to deploy it deep into the site you kind of found a bit elsewhere now kicker is the player under pressure electronic burns out buster perfecto hits the head shot on kicker and you can die you said it he was that fast rotation but the rest of his team haven't done enough inside of the site to make you feel comfortable about this if you're on virtus pro right you've still got this awp you've still got the ak you just don't have the utility to go back in for this retake right now you're probably just looking at the save call on the cards if only sanji had that molly on the mid side i feel like he could easily molly that backplate position it's gonna be much more difficult to do so but that molly will land simple forced out into the open jay waiting and there's a chance yeah they're still getting these kills but good pick out from electronic that's going to slow things down much more for vp as they go into the site they commit to it wanting around here wanting to at least damage the economy slightly for navi but all that it's done has ended up breaking down voters pro and james did not fully commit he falls and the orb is gone and everybody on the server goes down at the end of the round he did a good job at getting that that molly into back plat allowing sanji to make the most of that that's what they needed to flush one player out of position early to open up the trades to open up some of those angles unfortunately though just such little time left at the end if james has five more seconds maybe he can start to close in on that last man but the time was way too low and we get a hero up dropped for jane kicker has just spent a whopping amount of money on that and the usp think early is not bad either yeah at this point you know i would have hoped that james could have gone away in the last round you would have had some extra money to play with in the future but we'll see if james can get something done in this round he has to be the hero and there's my answer simple buying him straight through the wall jam out of the round early if sanji can get anything going with it tight angle unable to connect on the initial attempt simple waiting patiently he feels like that or might have to press the issue so he's waiting to see if it peeks into him kendall's trying to be a bit sneaky he's going to hear this smoke from perfecto but i don't know if there's much he can do about it effecto is going to look this way and i've got to think he's going to win this he takes the dink that takes the kill yeah he looks that way pokes that way and he gets the head shot onto you kendall he open things up and further crack open this case for navi now simple getting that pick through the door definitely threw a spanner into the works of vertice pro but now with navi walking into an empty a bomb site it becomes a bodyguard squad to save that awp it was a big investment and nothing was found from it to at least want to get something out of it in the future but perfecto he's on the extremities of the b site i haven't planted the bomb yet and they're going to come into perfecto's crosshair that's buster down and they're they aren't delaying the plant to try and hunt these players down and who's gonna walk up the lower tunnels looking for kicker he's done that well and now sanji's out of there walt down from navi they delayed the plant up until around the 10-second mark and that allows him to take down every single weapon including the awp yeah and kicker spent so much money on that or if he had some extra cash this buy would look way better instead he has to go down to a ump james gets another off this time dropped by kinder so james having a lot of fun but verna's pro are not right now they're 12-9 down and they have to crack the code of this navi t psy yeah i don't love this hawkeye i really don't you know what were you really expecting jim to be able to do in the last round with that open now just kind of messed up your body for the future and it's a fast play for navi out long electronic and perfecto they trade out blow for blow with jame and buster so it is a 3v3 and the chaos at the start of the round can slow down simple drops that smoke switches out to an ak they're going to go through their own smoke up long bp do have a player with eyes on this position but buster's going to spot them pretty late if he were to go down that a site is really open buster needs to deliver here but he's locked the way he's in behind cover he's going to be the 3v3 jim now comes over from short he couldn't get an angle he couldn't do anything and with that utility deploying once again we're looking at buster as the man to try and step up for them he hasn't been able to capitalize on the slither of an opportunity on the jump shot you would have to be inhuman to be able to do that and jim luckily has found his opportunity and struck hard on to bid vertus pro haven't been able to win rounds in a very long time want to be able to pick this one up they're in the mad advantage situation and simple has followed it up by pushing into ct buster's been able to hit the head shot and kicker bites his time it's going to be vp up to double figures they win out the 3v2 and they get themselves an important 10th round good patience there from vp you know that navi aren't going to be that comfortable on that a bomb site in the post plant over on the b stream fiend aren't looking comfortable nuke right now 15 6 down this one looks like it is about to be over after an early scare for spirit looks like they will stay in with this win yeah i'm fortunate that for fiend they they definitely showed up with a good performance in the tournament obviously coming into the bl ones at the start and they played against the world's best team right so faint put up a really good fight against spirit that's over on the b stream we will continue to run a simultaneous stream you can take a look at over the next few days we hop into this one though and it will be 12 10 a close battle and a long one as many expected and predicted and vertice pro look at the scoreboard here it is james and yukindar who are topping the charts in the kill counts and that's generally a good recipe for success for vertis pro and that's what they would have envisioned heading into this game maybe not envisioning quite this score line but at least they are keeping it close right now on dust too consider how many rounds vertus pro ran out of time in or just had to save away when you you really didn't have much of a chance or much of a start in the round it's crazy how close it really is when you consider how many rounds have been like that for vp and this round could break navi's economy honestly it could break either team's economy this is a big swing round umich dinked early yakindar has to go back through the flames because that molly had been ticking for a while it does a bit more damage so he's down to 44 health but bp do win the early exchange of damage treading out the awp for the ak boomich taking the alt from simple's hand due to the low hp and simple will rock that ak-47 we're looking at an a split on the cars for navi right now two in towards longhouse two working their way short and boomer he'll be left top middle to try and cut off these rotations to try and flank up short he'll be there to cut off that issue so now he can fully focus on this a play james caught between two minds here but he knows his teammates watching long kind of wants to look at short but he's stuck on both sides sanji holding long first kill is good but james gets baited in and now they know exactly where sanji is simple waits for it a second shot collected and vertus pro 3v4 retake won't be an easy one they're sticking around but i don't know if they can go for this yeah i mean simple just cracking heads out long that's exactly what you expect from the hulka that's the simple you want to see up on the server maybe you can get up to the numbers of bit who's currently on 1914's perfect is up there in second place on navi and 17 kills so it's been a good performance out of them too who are now simple getting involved as well and it's definitely worrying for vp and once again have to save into the next round this time it is two ak-47s and an m4a4 i just love how patient this is from simple he knows his teammates going out first and you know some people in matchmaking i'm sure would claim their teammates are baiting them here but he's just trading he's trading his initial teammate holding that separate angle because he knows it's pretty likely the orb of james is going to want to peek into it right normally the orc there wants to fight on long so that they have that one safe side on the push they don't want to get crunched in from both angles so simple's just one step ahead of it waits patiently and then he knows sanji's stuck in pit he can just wait for that peak too or wait for his players on the site to come help him so just really composed from simple even though he hasn't been having his best game fragging wise he comes through with two huge kills there yeah and i don't care if any but what anybody says i wouldn't i wouldn't care at all simple was betting me yeah no matter who you are at this point well buster down to 31 hp your kendall is quite aggressive up short actually i don't think they're going to be expecting this from your kinder one kill on to boomich i haven't seen you akindog be able to get away with as many of his early aggressive plays perfecto lines one up straight through the smoke and just as it looks like vp finally have a nice man advantage it gets snatched away from them yeah that's that's not unfortunate right you kind of aggressive play plays it really well gets that opening pick drops back and then suddenly a kill through a smoke and it's going to be the double play through the long house right now and look at electronic his position is so strong for this two players about to walk into him they're not going to be checking for electronic but luckily you can die reacts quick enough electronic was quick on the trigger and because of that you kind of had not fully walked through the doorway and now navi they're going to be going into the a site three players currently making their way over here for vp yokindor has to hold on with the incendiary he's thrown it up into the side to delay safe passage to the side to get the bomb plant that does throw a bit of a spanner into the works for navi side and simple holds the flank he's got a good angle to deal with the potential peak of jane but you've got to be very quick to land that head shot and james just gets the info boy he's having a round here 3k for your kinder but no kid no nades on the retake they've got to go quick well you can die looking to try and close it out with all five but he couldn't quite get the 4k and now simple in the middle of the site alone in a 1v2 awp versus two and simples hit the first looking for the second simple is a vessel of violence 14 to 10 simple pops off that second shot straight through the box no hesitation he doesn't care that it's a wool bank he knows it's going to get the kill and there's just as we get into the late game simple starts coming to life we thought it was your kinda round we thought it was his time to shine the two incredibly quick shots from simple give navi 14 and just when you need someone to step up on the navi side to close out the game simple's always there for you yeah big play from simple mac who would have been the chance for vp you kind of you look at the head-to-head of the stars right you kinda versus simple kendo had a fantastic round but simple undoes all of his hard work and puts them in this scenario round 25. this one's the full bite for verdus pro they've got a chance to do one better than that previous round where they brought it oh so close it has slowed down slightly since he hit 19 kills but he's already had a great game so far and this time navi upping the pace into a oh jim trying to land the shots i'll sit back and get a second opportunity he don't give jim a second chance in the flash even he still hits the shot it didn't look like the initial flashes were there for navi it looked like they were almost running in dry or certainly there weren't any effective nades they are going to get the bomb down but this retake should favor vp when the bomb taken away nappy down two players once again simple as called upon a headshot under your kindred perfecto working in tandem a second kill in quick succession for navi that's drawn it back into the equilibrium once more an electronic supporting with utility finally arrives to the party and perfecto he's been here a while he knows how it works he's found sanji jim is locked simple out and this time is taking perfector was still alive he's still clicking and it's all on to kicker in the middle of the site electronic has run the time down just staying alive vp don't have enough time to win out the round and he's missed the shot on the fallback he'll try and get that awp over into the next one for james and that is about the biggest win they could have got there great stuff from perfecto just staying alive getting those important kills and drawing that timeout playing that 3v5 they do really well to get a couple of those early kills they find a couple of 1v1 fights early and then vp only had the one kit in the hands of james so kika at the end there is desperately looking desperately searching for that defuse kit he wasn't able to pick it up in time and this t side has been pretty one-sided for navi here after they lost the pistol they've come back with almost every round in their favor and they want to end it with a fast push oh kick of the booming with the kills to 4v4 now buster throwing the smoke into the doorway there's a play out quickly from navi looking to overwhelm the defense you kendall buster both get cracked down by bit he's had a fantastic performance here for navi on the first map and jim and sanji into the 2v4 simple looking to close it out it's just sanji left alone and navi have done it it'll be 16 to 10 on the board sanji just trying his best he had a few more stats onto the board here for himself but navi they've managed to take away dust too this is their map pick they've come into this one looking strong a couple of slower rounds to start off but most of the individuals have warmed up throughout and sanji's just trying his best but goes down to bid eventually what a fantastic performance out of him hawker bit is here to play and we get to see more of
