CS:GO - Natus Vincere vs. Virtus.pro [Mirage] Map 2 - IEM Fall 2021 - Semi-Final - CIS

but remember whoever wins this matchup is going to face them in those grand finals you've got to be a little bit scared with the war path that gambit is on right now yeah i mean they came in today with a statement victory right going 32 and four in the series versus entropic it wasn't even close and so they're out for blood and either one of these teams would be one hell of a contender but if you're camp if you're number two in the world you want to show you can beat number one in the world and for that you would need rv to win this series alternatively if you want an easier path perhaps to a victory maybe you're rooting for vp there kendall pushed up into top middle and he's opened up the round by removing simple no less kicker extends that lead even further and the pistol is off to a rip-roaring start for virtus pro yeah definitely a nice way to start it catching navi waiting top mid for their under players and as soon as they come out it's already too late the kills have come in no trades allowed we've even got more pushing timing is weird here because while bus has cleared b refecto's double back and he's checked it but he's missed the timing again he's going to be able to clear the b bomb side but sanji is just getting in position this is so weird right now it's all on james to stop the split into this back line be attacked perfecto's double back james got the info he's been mollied and he dodges death at least even sees perfecto out under what a weird and wacky round the communication must be crazy but vp are hitting all the headshots that they need to electronic turns and james in the window but it's your kinder to close very strange pistol round but vp hey they've been looking at like an entirely different team here in the cis rmr from what we've seen in the last couple of months of this year and i love to see it 100 matters like you know that's the thing with this vp squad it's like you know what the what the highs they're capable of achieving are right you you know what we can get out of them and that's why it felt so heartbreaking to see the results start to fall off why you know the rumors of guys like sanji potentially getting removed if results don't improve you know all this stuff cuts deeper because you know just how good this team where this incredibly unique flair can be and i gotta say you know the the results we've gotten out of them here and obviously qualifying for the major hopefully that hopefully that you know keeps this vp squad together because they are a legit team and i couldn't think of anyone you know you would want to bring in where you could say like yeah that's a definite upgrade yeah it's such a unique formation right it's uh pieces that you don't see in other words if you look at unique rosters right for me there's no like more polarizing unique squads than like a fury and a virtus pro right they're both incredibly special at how they approach the game and you know fury learnt this back when henny departed it's very very hard to bring new folks up to speed especially when you're in a kind of tricky to uh replicate yeah and not only that you know they're in markets that are kind of locked almost right you're very limited in terms of the pool of players you can actually choose from due to contracts and whatnot right so yeah you know it it's easier said than done and vp's results here speak for themselves they've looked really clean your kinder doubling up to open up the round again and navi that little glock stacking lower was an interesting idea it's brought james down low softened up this a sight hold hasn't it but kicker should have matters under control yeah jane was always going to die there the glocks will finish him but it's no problem for vp losing a ump is of little worry however i say that he would have exactly 47.50 he's bought an orb he would have had that plus his armor so he could have just straight up upgraded instead it's a glass awp not the end of the world you can do good confidence and faith just to sit there on the same angle and middle kills both d players as they pick it up and here we go james not hesitant to pull out the ct mirage awp of course oh that's awkward you kind of jumps uh flash middle and that's when kicker hits him with a molotov even walks in it for a bit tastes the fire boom is quick down middle already a pain pace change for na'vi they're not waiting for under players instead they're selling enough for mid that they can pop into the apartments three here though james in market we're even drawing a fourth out of a vp has stacked to the nines booming may have got a mid pick in the meantime and that's bought enough room for navi to oh they line up for electronics galil and suddenly it's only the orb somehow the last thing to survive something that is just so scary about about navi is like you have these two incredible riflers who are both so good at these gnarly spray transfers in electronic and bit right like [ __ ] showcase that back on inferno getting those back-to-back multi-kill rounds uh there was that short spray down as well to help them close it in overtime or he got three now electronic is flexing his muscles at that a little bit he almost wiped out everyone just you know stars are lined for him all you know felt like and jay you're not going to get away with a save this time around bud boomitch hunts him down and that orp is removed from play yeah boomerang sold that well as well he had enough eyes on middle that even when he gets that first pick the short player turns around to deal with him because he's right beside ladder and that's on perfecto pops out b gets a kill and electronic doubles up as vp try and flood out market we've seen really nice vp retake smokes on this map the bus has been throwing when they want to retake the b bomb site i'm sure we'll see them later they'll land in front of bench that allow vp to come out through market door it wasn't available there but maybe in the future i'll draw attention to it again that's something new it's allowed vp to retake a lot more rounds another b pop for navi nothing here to stop him though oh boom it's timing oh my goodness god he's gone past them with the zeus the old zeus army usb not the most normal vibe but with a bomb for sure oh no one health that head hitbox is so hard you laugh but you wouldn't have done much better yeah and that'll be an immediate save that's kind of heartbreaking if that kill comes in maybe that entices you to give the the four on four a go with the bomb already down and not be having run amok in the b bomb site vp are left holding on to these four guns now that does mean you know they get to have just uh the slate wiped wiped clean and another go in this follow-up round alvin are already looking hot i mean that round is so unlucky man from the kingdom missing the timing to you know was it boomish coming up cat again to even there james can't get the zeus kill off and then he misses all of those shots onto the planting electronic symbol grab the zeus as well from his body look at this one cut it off get it off our screen quick terrifying let's see if simple gets to use that zeus later on probably not in a gun round but you can always stream james bought his own back probably going back to ladder as well they never i was about to say they never saw it i guess they did they know his intention and so he begs for the boost once more oh careful probably gonna play a little bit more aggro no and making sure he's not on the ladder to remove that accuracy good good good they could sneak past him again hopefully you can catch the timing but he's been smoked off once more and that james needs to be ready this is really trying to tuck in that cubby it's a spot but boomish is ready yeah you don't fall for it twice every time this has happened he's like look if they're gonna give me short i'll take sure there's there's worse problems to have even then he cancels out your kind of can't escape the wrath of sanji and that's now an ak upgrade for james four on three we have seen vp not attempt rounds similar to this one but surely you're looking to give this a go get on the board bright and early three through the market james late on short the timing needs to be good on this push or else the market players are just going to get thinned out with no trades happening oh and simple's taking the silencer off that's the kind of day he's having he's really wanting to send a message here damn dude again these these retakes are so difficult and navi are poison ready in the back of the bomb side they're looking for the exit buster it's gonna get one but simple there with a yeah it's it's a disgusting sound but it works he's taking the silencer off the funny part about that is it is just a flex it is just disrespect it only makes the stats of the gun worse and harry you you try to justify reasons why it could be good but uh unfortunately there are really none other than the mental aspect yeah it's just pm you know it's just bm but it's great we love a bit of bm and like you know you know simple's the guy killing you when you hear the bop coming out from the uh the unsilenced m4 yeah it hurts for vp because again you know we talk about this retake util that we have yet to see there's no util in that there's no kit in that there may be a man up but that's like you know just temptation station simple's got the trade in mid bits out in the a site navi are going for a very loose a attack right now simple is resetting to come and join them kick it needs to get this kill but it's committed he's flashed and kicker finishes the job so keeping vp in this a site is simple lines up flashes for them to go yeah there's the flashover perfecto out and the player under spam sanji dead as well jane back here is cancelled by simples and silence them maybe it is better he makes it look better doesn't he oh it's almost a lineup save simples gun he's called for it and perfecto will oblige taking the m4 out of the round it's gonna find its way back to simple like some kind of bloody boomerang it's messed up man i don't know how he does it he makes it look good you try it and you wonder this gun you can see him just quick grab the m4 grab the m4 he didn't even celebrate celebrated when they got it like yeah he loves it oh i i love watching it yeah it's not the one thing is the better part the kill feed looks way cooler it does look way and it sounds cooler let's be real take that silencer off symbol who put that back on i wonder if he does unscrew it saint paul you will be letting everyone down if you get a silence oh no it is off it was just bug that's fine cool cool no it's just a it's a magic trick it's hard you see it now you don't oh this is awkward they might hear the pin pull and push ramp but perfecto has molly's ready to go out your kids got a flash but this is only a two-man setup now we can always bail up catwalk if they don't like what they see on a but navi they love running into pistol stacks just to remove them all we'll see if they figure it out though window molly misses on the bounce and simple rat attack tats taken down buster out of mid he knows he kind of head is poking through and navi don't care how many more there might be in the a site they're coming in yeah they want this they want the a bomb site they're going to go up through khan at james p 250 taps out one but can't make it a double and boom it's gonna lock it all in with a three-piece the little eco round run over nice and cleanly and also you know i think the uh the a1s buff is beautiful because simple finally has a gun he can he can kind of troll with but but also like you know if you were taking the the silencer off the a1s before pre-buff everyone was just like you're throwing mate like where is good now the gun is objectively the right choice and taking the silencer off is a fun way to add a bit of spice to it and it just looks cool like looking at me i feel like i'm watching simple speed run left for dead when he's using this gun maybe it is a bit like left for dead right now as they set up in middle we're going to see uh simple come back and be that resident smoker and you know boom it's kind of like boomer it's a reach but i i like the attempt causing problems and coming up on these catalogs already joined by bit for now but he might just double back after dumping his utilities set a smoke to top con that gives boo [ __ ] more room to move and your kinder leaving but looks ready to recommit at a moment's notice boom oh bus is getting drawn away this is the perfect split this is what navi love to do and as soon as buster turns boomish activates doubles down with a spray and now he can already turn around and look to kill rotate simple just spam your kinder out of market with a smoke i need to see that back that was just a random spray four on two and navi another clean round in the first few seconds vp are going to be kicking themselves with this cat split and how often it has let them down it's booming top of the server right now and he's doing the same thing every round so when the vp start taking their silences off to try and you know do it back six to two mate this score line is quickly getting out of hand out of control gotta say as well boomitch has been a real talking point in this game so far like if you've needed entries to happen boomish has been the guy which you know kind of nice to see oftentimes he's not afraid to go in first but usually doesn't get the opener right whenever i think of boomers i think is someone who's not afraid to make the ultimate sacrifice for the team but right now he's putting up numbers simple donning the awp but leaving the uh the unsilenced a1 back in spawn electronic he's so tempted to walk this especially with players alongside him and so he will defecto trades that out and makes it a double this a bomb site is now in trouble for vp they're calling four rotations but really if a kill doesn't happen and if a kill doesn't happen quick this should just be a save out of vertis pro james knows the difference maker has to arrive on the scene has to show up and denying the bomb plant is a big step in the right direction james made vp interested in this round again still amid though causing problems he can late stab as long as his pawn comes in and it does sanji can't stop it boomish now can come up through connector and this is the pitchfork this is the stab in the side if vp want to commit they've got to deal with boomage there's no other way to get back in the retake buster drops boom [ __ ] hears him is he ready he's just about to turn around everyone's focused on getting boomers out of con but it's wasting so many valuable seconds they don't uh lose a single player from it though i might entice you but time is ticking and simple is here to stop it devastating shot and the molly on the bottom that will seal the deal that will sign the death warrant for vp they've got to go they're going to try and stick it it's not worthwhile bit spams the smoke and james needs to tuck tail and get away oh close yeah man that double kill from perfecto as well i'm glad we get to see that one replayed that was the uh the real kind of kickstarter to the whole thing right him an electronic playing that body system beautiful to see you know one from him there wouldn't have been enough okay do you want to hear something crazy we gotta pause i just done my research i've just uh crunched the numbers and looked at weapon stats turns out back a few years ago where valve nerfed running inaccuracy they made it so your guns are less accurate when you're moving they nerfed all the rifles but they forgot seemingly to nerf the a1s unsilenced really as of september 2021 september 21 2021 the a1s with no silencer according to what i'm reading now has less running inaccuracy without the silencer than it does with it starts on 98 versus 127. the lower number is better so assuming everything i'm reading is accurate i've checked it on two different sources the a1s without the silencer is better while running so low key simple genius absolutely not even i mean low-key as well yeah because we thought it was trolling but what if it's what if it's leaked what if it's mega minding wow presuming that never got patched but i've never seen it in the patch notes that could be crazy so this whole time everyone thought it was just a meme but really simple ahead of the game yeah just running and shooting man why stop wow i'm surprised myself i had a feeling i'm glad you're a notorious a1s unsilenced hater hey hey i didn't think it was actually statistically but there are still downsides there's still downsides desperately looking for downsides it sounds gross it's more inaccurate while crouching it's more inaccurate while standing it's range is lower while crouching its range is lower while standing but it's running accuracy that's better that's the only benefit right so here's the little bee pop out of the two remaining you weren't really expecting much from now being around like this one it just feels too far gone after losing all those opening fights you kinda mopping up that lower tunnels push and so simple is left saving don't know if he's gonna get away with it james the anti-saver the anti-orp allower is gonna remove it from play and vp are up onto a third they win their first rifle round out as they're able to uh come in swinging here this little double up from your kinder is massive in the grand scheme of things but that's not enough to deter navi just yet right once again similar to inferno it's going to feel like a real grind to break navi down if you're vp right now boss is going fast under with the pop flash but they're both waiting harvey so ready for that play it's insane a little tower of tease up in the apartment and navi starts strong yet again and they could just commit off of this into b if they want they could have boomers coming up cap but almost everyone's up appside and vp know it better than anyone it's all they've been dealing with all game long leaning still two towards b jane moves away though is not they start to set up utility can always bail back down under it seems like navi are interested boots leaving mid now keeping attention drawn for vp and in fact vp think they're second guessing themselves they think that navi just faked b to come in through under into a you kind of re-aggressing to check catwalk and the b anchor player sanji has gone back to middle vp have read this one wrong and na'vi recommitting be late in the round is going to give them the free sight of all yeah kendall's really got his work cut out for him here right he's somehow meant to be expected to hold both the b play and the short push he's dealt with the first component and does manage to skirt on out of there this sets vp up for another one of these retakes a four on three now we've seen these fall away from virtus pro this can't afford to be another case of that there's that retake smoke and they're gonna push with it though we've seen them cower behind it for too long before they're waiting for this app slurk to get into position on your kinder they want to try and split this on a good timing but a lot of time has ticked off the clock james setting up this push out with a flash to try and get them in and now your kinder arriving through the apartments opens with a double electronic hoping he can win it to time and with turns like that maybe he can that is unreal electronic you are not supposed to win those and yet he does eight on the board for navi and it's one man to do it to him 1v4 and electronic makes it happen we need that on replay and we need it now i demand what an insane round dude coldzera s just sitting in the middle of b site and beastly all right that feels good nothing can go wrong for navi and these last second retakes they just leave no room for error they leave absolutely nothing for to go wrong for vp one man is all it takes to uproot the entire round despite your kindest mid picks consistently coming in and he's got another out from under trapped by the molotov the smoke isn't going to do a much favor and simple picks him as he tries to escape vp just crunch middle and they get crunched simple fights backward two james receives a leg as simple gets tagged as well but it's still in the favor of navi it always is always has been james can he upset that no bit just backs out top con smoke makes james decide do i want to stay here forever that means navier likely moving up on catwalk i've got to get out i've got to go back to the safety of the bomb site sanji alona b and they look like they want a boost eyes on the prize bit under window and james just leaving we've not seen much of this for navy so it's a good time to throw it in getting electronic behind james now taking apps from sanji who can try and get mid information but that could be his undoing electronic flicks back and we know how fast this guy is just drops off now no need to stay around four on two and the kills are coming to you it doesn't matter what angle of approach you take versus electronic with the game he's happened he will find a way to make it work absolutely terrifying james should have that one locked in and he does and that might force their hand up through khan oh it's weird they're split apart right now luckily enough they find kicker and simple wants to deny this save both players low and james gonna pick him up a 1v2 at 2 hp and jay wants to keep this open play see his brain processing that as i was like what the hell do i do here i'm so locked out standing still where'd it go and even navi know what this guy's like they know he's saving electronic is already hunting out under as we speak so james can't escape through apartments just stays on cat electronic confined angles through the window and james yet to make noise so could be anywhere by now it's a good safe spot i'm gonna presume the bomb doesn't kill him here it's pretty far out even james questioning that as well he's fine he's all good don't go back to b electronics probing the bomb site and na'vi this is an excellent t side vpn may have 10-5 inferno but this looks like it's maybe going one step further yeah i mean electronics looking really fired up right you've got to wonder if you know bit and and simple being the main talking points on inferno was kind of you know made him go well i want to throw my name back in the hat i need to remind everyone just how good i am you're kind of i love these mid pushes out of him so often good for the opener on the back of it right and that's something that navi still haven't been able to uh to quell it's been it's been a frequent sort of these uh or source these man advantage situations and this round is no exception to that it's all gonna slow down a bit now after losing that early man they throw these set pieces over into the a bomb site blocking off stairs and khan jungle as well but it's not a commitment not by any stretch of the imagination although navi want you to believe that and even now they still have two players selling this it's simple and bit attempting to essentially 2v5 on the b bomb side which is empty by the way the b players on catwalk in the form of buster and vp who have fallen for you know rotated out of b before after a volley of util don't want to make that same mistake in doing so they're making the other mistake which is falling for the fake and now they have no idea that bits out the bomb site navi aren't even selling this they're not having to your kinder kills perfecto that might keep you on a simple's now out the b site been caught bomb spotted bit drops buster and this 2v or essentially 2v5 is started electronic is yet to even move out palace he is on the late backstab navi need to live if electronic needs to perform oh well that's gonna help a hell of a lot jame out of the round you know normally not the scariest guy in these retakes but it's given time for electronics backstab well now they realize we've got a two on one in the site are they gonna go oh they decide against an electronic makes it up the catwalk sanji now upon that being calmed by kicker gets out of danger leaves the round and even though they remove electronic bit as one at a time the way that navi have been able to manipulate these rotates is so impressive on this t side so much conditioning over the course of this game and b just walks through a biap smoke and cleans out b entirely and it's not like navi in the meantime had those two a players of electronic and perfecto faking out throwing util showing they've thrown their first volley like you said but then they just went quiet and vp still committed to the gamble realized too late they spot simple jumping out but bits already deeper than buster was ever ready for he gets domed and then as soon as vp think okay it is b they get backstabbed by electronic denying any chance of retaking that round vp can get all the kills they like they just can't convert these ct-sided rounds and that might be another opener in middle vp have been full of five on fours thanks to yakinda and now james but when has that ever gotten them out of the fire well five on three that'd be different entirely i'm just always so scared man like with with the game electronics happen it's hard to quantify just seeing him you know taking peaks out of palace i get nervous for the guys in a doesn't matter what setups they're running doesn't matter if they on his angle or not you've got full faith in him to make something happen now while this has all been going on while he's been making noise in palace short control has been attempted here for navy and boomi has made it all the way into ladder room him and james had their fair few fights for this bit of control james will let him have it and concede this your kinder back on the mid stuff once again sanji oh the timing you couldn't make it up oh we'll trade that out and now james got to hold down the b side they're coming his way electronic and perfecto on the push jame caught they've got him trapped they've got him pincered but electronic has been removed and james hits both the shots he needs to hit that's how vp get on to four it's this one-two punch that have been keeping it going all game long your kinder owning middle and jame locking down b navi needs to figure out a way to deal with your kinder he is like the shining light for vp right now and admittedly even though the scoreline's still great it's terrifying the consistency that he's able to open up these rounds in mid last of the half and wow navi are pretty broken all things considered two pistols does he win it let's see he doesn't need i mean this is a weak buy for navi they don't have the same amount of utility around what they've typically been running and so instead they just run into the firing line oh my goodness spam does convert perfecto gets the kill he needs to reload before he goes or just trade that will do two on five or at least it was for navi as they try and turn this round on its head bit backing up he knows james all big spawn oh perfecto's gone back to spawn and he's taking down buster don't do it navi not in the last of the half it was a two on five remember and perfecto has done everything he can to level the playing field also that kill on t spawn you you might be thinking oh well as long as vp trade this out they should be golden you're not wrong in that but the t-spawn kill is huge because now you no longer have the certainty that it's an a-play and you're assuming that with na'vi spotting you in t-spawn this is where the mind game steps into it that they're gonna go back to b and they know you're stacked up on a you deal with bit but perfecto is just continuing to be a ray of sunshine in this round 1v1 for him to find in hell it was him that made this on five possible now it's just sanji that stands between navi and an eleven round half perfect though just gets out of danger nade falls short and so he's given a second chance at life it's not planted for him he's to move up now if he wants to deny this but sanji is not sticking the bomb perfecto knows this and now oh the mind games perfecto caught out in the open and so sanji will get that round over the line it's a 5-10 half 4vp but is that gonna be enough [Music] [Music] [Music] whispering [Music] sounds [Music] this like is [Music] let me just [Music] [Music] please please hey [Applause] [Applause] been here done that and now they're looking for the t-shirt they could take it into vp down not quite out but a rough half after navi absolutely shake and shatter their bones on the t side of mirage it's been a day of t sides back on inferno it was the same vein going into an overtime matchup that na'vi eventually longed out and here on their map pick with a five win streak in the pocket and rv look to go to the grand finals in style to meet gambit let's see if vp have a second wind or if it's all said and done in this half oh yeah out through mid fast on the approach simple waiting knife out in the window is he looking for a knife in the pistol this is an a pop and boom it's unfortunate timing as he goes to check khan they split him through palace that a bomb site is now opened up are you gonna be struggling to find a way back in when you when you lose jungle like this it starts to feel awkward now simple has been here the whole damn round and with bit opening up in ct simple would have loved to have win that fight but not ready for sanji not ready for such a deep player it's perfecto and bit spearheading the retake and oh my sanji's done what he can but they jump over they clear kicker sanji's gotta win it and the bomb's not planted for him so he's gonna make a mad dash in and they don't let it happen navi steal that one back from the clutches of defeat taking vp out of the pistol and really making this half look like it's gonna shape up nicely for them yeah compare the confidence levels right there right think about that two on five navi almost converted where sanji had the bomb default just in the last round of the half he could have stuck it multiple times but he still faked it out the fear he's like half sticking then perfecto would fake a footstep sanji would get off he still won the clutch of course but right there they're right on the bottom electronics insta-sticking na'vi want this in the bag and they might be so close to getting it pistol round forces the buy from vp as they get a bomb plan that's enough temptation they just pop out a no waiting around and through the smoke boom which has taken down your kinder double face to palace and these rifles are favoring navi i mean i tell you what inferno might have been you know largely this simple and big show here on mirage everyone is stepping up man even even guys like boomitch are having a phenomenal game right now and usually you know he it's not not uncommon to see him fall behind in the old frag count they're all just feeling so confident they can feel the 2-0 they want to do right by simple on his birthday and so they're looking good to deliver on that yeah team effort no players stepping down no quiet face for navi that's got to feel good sanji now in a one on four after picking up simple amid he's got a double back to this a site but either side is reinforced he's not getting any freebies here even a bomb plant is optimistic and navi is just in that kind of fighting mood where they're not giving you room they're going to keep facing they're going to keep peaking the second they've got that info it's crunch time electronic gets it and now boomerang is just waiting on the timer to swing together soon as sanji is not ready for a fight two of them will come yeah there should be no way back in for sanji there's just too many angles to clear too many angles to bear in mind and so na'vi at 12 5 as a result of that force you're not bringing rifles out till we hit 13-5 for navi and that's pretty terrifying it can make it feel like you've only got you know like one or two proper buys to put a stop to this and even then if you want to say two proper buys well then you're relying on you know 10 in a row at that point to try and lock this game into an overtime even though that happened back on inferno it was a far smaller task for vp to haul that one back we know these guys like a long game and rv are looking to lay this one to rest here and now yeah p250 isn't a flash to pop out into b at least it's only perfecto it's uh not gonna be an easy uh ace for him with no support electronic off cat is so deep perfecto just needs to stall by time for that rotate as he backs up to the bench they're gonna spam his corner they know where he goes electronic tries to help out you've got to concede the bomb plant but perfecto might be able to live to tell the tale he looks away after shooting so many bullets to the face of james buster won't last long though and oh these are out the bullets will do it instead navi was always going to be a retake but vp can be happy with minimal investment to get a bon pan and a couple of kills but really i'm looking for you know positives at this point in the game 13 to five and if you don't win your first full gun round on vp this one's done now you don't envy their position whatsoever you know the very very least as is often the case when you've got the accountant on your team he will get to don his big green gun helped out in part by that bomb plant yeah it hurts the bus has gone from that impact player of inferno 27 to 17 now he's four and fourteen obviously very different game a very different style out of navi but you just never got to see the same guy he couldn't keep it up and sanji has been in fact one of the heroes saving the day here and now finding an opening kill in that pinnacle round oh careful they feel like they might just commit to be and as far as it goes i do like that decision right very often they're a team that when they get the opening you know there's like a good minute before them pushing well right now they spill into the site you can see how unready for this navi were they're going to call the save right away and so you know it was a must-win first rifle round for vp and that's exactly what they'll do and they'll do it flawlessly at that so in terms of their longevity you know things just got a little better for vp it's no longer a kind of game that can spiral out of control on the back of just one unfortunate round regardless the task ahead of them is still a monumental one right even picking up a sixth still leaves you seven behind that of navi you're trying to hunt down these saving players knowing that anything you can take away doesn't get replenished next time around and that's the oprah move so a pretty big ticket item knocked out of play for navi all the while it's kept clean for virtus pro these grenades man they're all over the place the smoke will seal the deal and people will have to respect it but simple that sucks as well tries to get back to palace but got leg from jame on short and then instead of going up ladder he jumps default but sanji was so quick to get over into connector and on top of that box good round out of sanji it was really him and your kinder doing the most of the work for vp in that first half right you can offer often running out mid connector and finding opening kills and getting back and sanji you know winning a clutch here and there close the half with one save vp for the two on five embarrassment electronic tries his hand at the mid aggro but it doesn't go too far and he hangs around as he gets ticked by a molotov so you can do the mac 10 oh electronic could have been his what's a 31v1 but he'd rather just keep the numbers intact rather than play with fire kinder flashes him off but electronic is not in the giving mood he goes back for more his teammate smoke hits him and i think that's uh an omen to give it up a warning if you will simple still has a bit of mid information here from the awp and ladder and meanwhile vp is setting up for the b-pop coming up cat at the same time a booming speciality served to the face of navi oh simple the timing there they're running him down and it's only the leg to your kinder perfecto never even spotted but spammed out a bench electronics one kill if only they knew the damage that was done and you kind of taking that peak that was ballsy man because if that kill comes in for navi suddenly they're invested in a retake but with your kinder winning it you're locked out on numbers alone and vp moving on to seven starting to give us a bit of a sense that maybe this comeback is possible after all right this is the money of navi now broken and so there should be a free round on the horizon for vp always careful saying that when you've got a couple of guns being saved at least it's not the orb which is like often the for navi how many rounds have we seen them coming with deagles and an awp and you know still win the round two rifles is still something to be interested in it's all about avoiding that of your vp i think in this round we saw an example of the downside to the a1s that's perfecto behind the bench you say he's not spotted i think it's very likely he's looking at perhaps right his silencer is giving away his position if you have a normal ak or an a4 there you rarely get spotted playing behind the bench but it's very impossible in fact likely that his silence had poked out and gave vp the info because they were so assured that he was there two players full spamming it until he died that's not just a random check that's information and perfecto never really peaked so yeah maybe the a1s are letting you down you've got to relearn some of your angles some of your positions that you play and figure out what is open and where or speculation but seems likely simple dropped under gonna boost one of these rifles into mid oh boom it's a little awkward and now they want to try and deal with him but he does regain control that's where buster comes in and bails them out brings it back into a four on four and stops that hero m4 boosted the middle from going huge now the other m4 is on electronic and he's looking to take some real estate with it cleared out ramp right at the start of the round and you almost wonder if this makes na'vi pull in a bit of a gamble and look to stack this b bomb site worse calls to be made i think just the question of vp will they probe often when you only have four up you don't like to you know send in a gamble player a pro player and uh figure out if the site is clear you want to all commit together because your numbers are already tainted and so we'll just be an a commit with a split from under in the form of buster this rifle will be double saved it seems like perfecto is unlikely to get away with much if you can get a kill onto the look grab a gun escape that would be a good round for navi but right now it's all on vp they're walking into the cleaned up a bomb site steady does it the vp are clawing their way back in yeah nice idea uh you know they just dodge that little stack it's kind of unfortunate for electronic perfecto having you know just missed that timing on the ramp clear but you cannot wait forever and you know navi knew the only way they would ever win that was with a gamble right even though you have electronic who's giving us some phenomenal moments in this game so far expecting him to do it all on an a bombsite take unrealistic you needed everyone together it's a bit of a coin toss and unfortunately this one comes up against you but as you pointed out double saving the m4 worst things can happen vp up onto eight now just five between them and tying this up with na'vi something in your voice harry it's telling me that this game is maybe closer than we thought yeah it certainly feels that way right when now we come into this and win the pistol and things are looking good right away and you know especially when you think about how they win it right like they lose that a bomb site straight up they left the man down in a retake and they still managed to see it through you're thinking oh is this just the dominance continuing but as vp are finding rounds as they're finding success they're starting to believe again this is a fast mid-pop and electronics on the receiving end of your kinder once more this man in middle has been terrifying to deal with bit tries to keep it as even as he can but it's a losing battle i was all off the back of simple missing the catch up he made it and then he slipped off right at the end he ended up under electronic comes in to bail him out it looked by design anyway they were gonna double face mid but then simple gets a kill and he he goes back to grab the a1s that's what gets him killed he still had ammo bits at least sort of kept things oh my god a little bit okay yeah but boom it's steered playing trigger discipline here is a little awkward because there's no one else to be found in the apartments boom it still gets the kill and it leaves this two on two open but deciding to go for this retake makes or breaks the economy so perfecto only armed with the mp9 as well needs to be ready for this close angle in ct booming is a long way away as well perfecto is going to wait for him but without a kit in play this is wasting precious time that navi just don't have it's also making a vp discount this position because it'll take you so long to swing ct now you've got the info james up close or shot connects and he's going to win the round for vp very very close indeed but both vp players set up to trade and you can see even the fear and vp there they don't know if ct is clear they start to discount it as more time goes on and no one's coming through the more traditional rotate spot but as soon as they do both of them appear on both sides it's quite a crunch think about how the round started right i was three to two in middle in in five seconds vb just trading kills all over the map but they'll keep it going they'll keep the comeback rolling they will keep the time the good times going and navi have to take an eco simple thank you [ __ ] for dropping that over and everyone else broken simple that's your birthday present from bit okay unwrapped right in front of us all got to find impact with it because this game is creeping up on you and i talked earlier about how we see navi win the rounds with you know the pistols surrounded by an orb got lots of players who could don this weapon in a you know a mad scenario maybe simple will never need them to deep down on ramp mid taken here for vp but this is a reset to that a site right now two players back in spawn top con smoke really scares you if you're navi but you have to stick with your guns they're already faking b out well now they still haven't fallen for it they still maintain this stack simple might be in the right place at the right time with the orb it's scary right like whenever he's alive whenever he's still got this in play you find yourself worrying but the first shot misses now they spill out through ram simple can't find a thing and vp are up and on to 10. gotta give it to vp how do they still hold on to this matchup with everything they've been through with the 10-5 comeback for navi losing in overtime and now here where it felt like i think you'd go wrong for navi it's consolation kills for perfecto vp don't care they've got the money for days man got players nearing max cash they're just happy they're racking up rounds right now and they're doing them quick kendall was a beast in city side in the mirage and now he in the in the connector sorry here on mirage but uh now he's doing the same thing t half right coming up on these mid split looks boosted window another four by four navy simple again with the orb and now they keep want to throw themselves at middle instead this time it's just a boosting ladder more of a standard approach giving mid away as vp have commanded respect in this position yeah and that's in big part because of your kind of here right first half keeping it up now in the second a consistent voicing reigning in this mid control undeniably navi is starting to feel the pressure of a comeback looming and that can change the way you play all together simple over towards the apartments is holding for a fight he's not going to get at least not for a long whole while for a guy like simple that kind of probably irritates him he likes to be very mobile with this orb he likes to keep his opponents guessing so they actually start to take the apartments hoping that this little bit of real estate is enough sanji has heard the flash and so he's going to go back into the arms is simple it is only the tag but now you learn where that off is situated perfecto just needs not to die and vp what are they going to do now that you've spotted the up you know that simple likes to reposition after taking a shot already he's in a different spot he's up in the window ready to fight and hold on to a if needed they're boosting to go meet him in the middle and perfecto dead on short bit will swing back out and reclaim one of these kills they won't uncover the window player yet your kinder dealing with bit now it's been given away simple hunts him down and that's the op finally connecting for simple he's had a very quiet second half but that round there he makes magic happen and finds 14 for navi yeah great call for bits and not over extend as well as he gets that trade on jane perfecto does so much work by being the early warning system pushing up on cat drops the bomb bit he trades but he almost goes back in for second servings and that could have really left navi down and out instead without getting another cat pic vp have to commit back to connector and that's exactly what they're calling that's probably why bits peeling back they want them to go into the awp they want that double con setup of simple zorp and electronic on stairs to find the frags and find them they shall navi break the curse they break the streak 14 now on this ct side and vp just pop a with an execute yeah trying to keep it simple trying to keep it basic boom it will hold on can't manage the second the flash from sanji flushes him out but electronic will tip the scales back in favor of navi now set up with a little pop flash that gives electronic time to reposition now they don't know if he's still in the site simple through the smokes that bench has removed yet another man and the tides they are are changing four on two and navi looking to take 15 buster and james are all that stand in their way yeah navigate quiet they go cold they give you nothing from everyone facing to no one james does see a player behind triple where electronic knows they can't cross towards him he doesn't need to make a move instead let someone else do it simple does that's a dangerous peak but it works wonders and electronics swings out to close the round no fear against the orb in the second time and rv ruffled feathers but quickly pat themselves on the back and pick up two in a row that might be it that might be enough to send them over the line five rounds in a row for vp in this t side got us worried got us concerned but navi have woken back up again looking for the 2-0 and the grand final placing v gambit we've got the buy for vp it's enough that streak gave them something to fall back on but now they need to build up better than ever oh you kind of often been good in these mid-fights as we say one of the real success stories for vp in this map but this time not given a damn thing in middle the bomb back here outside of a you've got kicker to try and fake a bit of a uh be looking not gone well for him early he's spammed through the wood down to 28. so now that utility reigns over a this push decides it all do vp still have a chance at making those grand finals rv going to snatch it away a minute left on the clock they've got one man up in the site in sanji he's a little deeper than perhaps narvia ready for electronics still deals with him but the molly finds success from beyond the grave kicker out into this b site and at this point he's calling boys b is clear they are fully rotating that bomb is now coming back around and your kinder successes over in middle continue to roll in boom it's rotating i'm assuming into what he thinks is safety that couldn't be further from the truth boomitch is dead and simple likely left holding on to this orp it's weird because temporarily there's a 1v2 in the b side but simple's got no way of knowing that i don't want to have to call it but the money is not looking good for na'vi either it might be your only way to wield this awp in the next round and james knows that james is made of orbs crafted by them he's waiting in palace for the save a very common spot to try and get away with your gun so simple holds off in spawn always keeping it fresh always keeping vp guessing as a lovely round count comes out from your kinder and co similar to how we saw bit do some of those right in the first half walking through b apps plays when the rest of his team were in mid and a kicker does the same he gets so much space up in the b bomb site that allows bp to completely bail from their a attack and your kinder you know he cuts off two cat rotator at that point lol you're convinced that uh the b is the place to go you've killed two short players kinder so ready for the second one no reason to be but this guy's smart and while the orp is saved na'vi will buy around it they realize once again they know that they're not out of the woods yet man for the team that needs to come back for the team they just want like you've got a very bare bones amount of utility on the side of vp considering how essential throwing in these fakes have been you know trying to sell ruses and whatnot you are going to feel restricted in this round we need more of that your kind of success because the thing that gets me worried is if it stops coming in is that where the success ends for virtus pro it's a fair question to ask right you said yourself earlier simple's had a slower second half he's definitely warmed in since getting this awp in the last couple of rounds but you can just be in that standout man uh here to get openers for vp to convert rounds he's coming in on an a split on the luck he's going to be a little late though luckily the molly stalls the main bulk of the play but those smokes on top kind of fading already here for vp can recommit with a second volley they're gonna set sanji the util this gives the akinder time to come in through under simple's turn back but on top of the boxes he is sleeping at the wheel your kinder just deletes him and this success continues for now mid has just been you know the the home of yakindari it's terrifying 35 seconds as the push is coming in can the two players in the site hold the line boomich opens up perfecto helping from ct but the mp9 is not ideal electronic trying to do whatever he can is cancelled out and simple all the way over on short that shot misses and that is not the shots that simple often let's sail by kinder in his head and putting 12 up on the board for vp he looked dead on i have never seen simple miss a shot like that it looked dead it's not like he's moving he hasn't just scoped in he was waiting for that love and he had the footsteps and everything right like he fully he was confused he looked away after like yeah got that kill trying to go for the 1v3 he was going for that one he was giving it everything he had but dead of the first hurdle my goodness vp somehow manhandled their way into that a play even with boomers finding the opening kill at a certain point that mp9 has to quit it not hit it back in ct spawn but vp just flood the bomb site and your kinder oh okay that's a bit of a tag this is not a round navi should ever be winning but if you wanted to quell the threat of your kind of that's one step in the right direction simple he's looking oh mike i did not i'm learning new things every day with this guy you could stand on the bed thank you simple never knew did you he doesn't get anything out of that but neat little trickery sure i mean now this uh short wrap coming in simple is here with the scout the scout of simple is doing what the upcoming and steagle comes in with another and it might be the eco round with a hero scout attempting to seal the deal even though oh my god simple give this man an open he'll miss everything but with the scout he makes it all work i do not believe what we've just seen it's only a kinder left and while he has been the knight in shining armor they all fall eventually they all fall at the hands of the undertaker your kinder shot in the side of the head and navi close it out 2-0 that means our cis grand final is locked in it's number two in the world in gambit taking on number one
