CS:GO - NaVi vs. Team Liquid [Mirage] Map 3 - Group A - ESL One Cologne 2019

thank you Alex yes absolutely it's time to get back into it and Mirage is where we end up liquids have played this map a many time over the history of the team and many times it's been heartbreaking less so with this roster than the others in the past but the odds have come far more even since the beginning of this series certainly since we were on overpass and for the first time in a while the first kill on the pistol goes the way of na'vi not that the pistols haven't been falling in their favor they even so far but they haven't got the open kill every single time bomb still gets planted for Liquid Nitro dropping on to 15 will get out of the window because he can't hold it any further in fact though he will get simple and the battle inside of the kitchen and checkers both going in the way of na'vi or excuse me of liquid meaning boom is left for na'vi and a one on four make it three as he gets the low HP player but I don't imagine this goes too much further without a kit in his back I think he might be right there boage will have his work cut out for him that's for sure trying to find any kill he can at this point there was one available there does damage to two but un fortunately it will be liquid winning out the round there it's going to be the B bomb side their main focus nitro with two and uh we'll see now if na'vi will force by in response we'll see now as that comes through is the replay Zeus nice shots coming through but even better from Nitro great work here with the glog close range of course nailing it he really has come into his own this guy can do it all or Rifle and Pistol as we into the next round let's confirm whether this is going to be the force by and is uh it is going to be 5 sevens SE ads Ste to cap find the first down to 52 Remember full investment here from NAA you don't have to fully commit off this 1 minute 20 on the clock two smokes remain on the CT side akk for a Le now fly in the palace position with the G monotov's thrown in and flamy that's a nice Peak from him greatly timed and at this point now fly trying to pull one back and I'm not sure he's going to be able to boage has to deliver with the sniper here Scout is not going to work out this time it has had certainly an impact throughout this series certainly in the second round it's typically when we see it now it doesn't have the prowess of being the jump Scout of days gone by and the force by more justifiable but early on it still is substantial and so too this round is it's just a oneman Advantage for liquid bomb planted again but watch for simple sneaking in because he can tap away with this C 75 now there is a gun down but Naf is quick to turn and watch the mark to make sure that he can't go that far leaving us with just Zeus who has mind you an AK-47 the best of the three rifles that means liquid okay they're going to go 2 sure bomb plant down again that's all good hey except that they only have two gills left and the AK is in the hands of Zeus who now finds twist it's a bit of a win for an RV in that way you are right well I know Henry I'm yeah you're always right you're always right but kid I'm doing this in this particular instance you are the fact they've got so many kills there and they've saved the AK there there is a fighting chance and there might be something to be said about this round now are you tempted to invest any more than what you have right now it's an AK-47 armor flashbang H oh they're going for it yes so that question be answered M4 has been dropped Zeus had the money to do it and that means two rifles and an MP7 for flamy I like this this is cool from na'vi like I don't think it's the expected move at all and it's one of those rounds of liquid think they're up against just one rifle in USPS and all of a sudden you got simple on an m404 this could be enough to win around but oh the star player he'll be dropped at the very first instance it's got to be nly to take him down and at that stage they can confirm at least the rifle has been drop the second found though that's Zeus great games from him today been playing a very smart game of Counter Strike Al making his way towards the bathrooms but it will be twist in towards that Palace position taking down flame he just waiting for any sort of reactions at this point for versus three Zeus 37 points of Health gives the AK to electronic and boage not really much he can do about that nice patience from a now work the front of the site twist goes down but electronic is stuck in the corner ah jungle and good Ste he was able to hit the shot because his teammate had snuck out toward the site directly not able to go for an immediate trade El sneaks in behind on the flank either way and it's now liquid again with the rounds so despite losing that AK early on to Zeus Zeus doesn't seem too bothered quick little shrug it's all good man we're going to win this game anyway three nothing still for liid well it was it wasn't the worst call I actually liked it a lot to be honest I think that was a really nice idea it's early on in the game and you've already just taken them down their own map why not give that Force spite a little go we are just going to see deagles now there the Lost bonus racking up uh so not a big deal the got deagle armor 57 n with the first kill again I should add as he takes down boage there and it's going to be two smokes the CT cber full mid control granted for Al as he makes his way towards that connector flamy with a slight Gap towards the under pass here we are going to see if there is a chance of the deagle shot Ali doesn't seem to think so he will be dropping him through the smoke and no one has to panic at this point he can just hold up they are going to be swinging around and trying to trade out these kills you be very aware of it and it looks like Al might walk into simple cross set po it though what a shot that is nice work 5 on one electronic absolutely no chance it is going to be 4-0 Team Liquid here and uh remember it's so funny you just go back to obviously like it's impossible to even suggest this would have gone down in the same manner but had na'vi have won that round at 1511 on Dust 2 they get a two Z Team Liquid just now like it was a convincing Victory uh on overpassing one in over one in regulation they could have two Z there now finding them in the third map 4-0 down we are going to have AKs across the board on the team liquid side simple awp where does it head towards it's the a bomb side for now could go for the palace pick had a really decent spawn got to be jumping across to check the a ramp seeing whether there's any sort of activity there at the very back no one to be spotted it's the B assault here from Team Liquid full on Rush M flashbangs are plenty and in they go in they go and down they fall I say that for only a moment Al manages to get one back and Nitro gets Zeus as well watch for simple through the window through the smoke Ste 2K is gone as a result of it and he will play very clever angle on the back side of the smoke the stairs as well good jump and movement from electronic to join bomit to his two newest additions on na'vi not that Electronics new by any means oh tap from Nitro that is beautiful and he knows the second player there as well it's a one-on-one though and bombs down in the apartments electronic may not be aware of that because he doesn't need to face this he doesn't need to take the fight and Nitro has a very awkward situation of needing to get on the barrel just to go up clears the fact oh he's not peeking him when he does the reload was coming in still Nitro finds it on the kill alone quite clearly they were unaware na'vi that the bomb was in the hallway one versus one and Nitro continues to look Unstoppable here on Mirage liquid will find thems up against the maximum L bonus of team na'vi but on the CD side they'll only get you so far they'll invest into the round not fully there's the UMP and some cavlar there purchas is Nitro getting it done oh that should much is wonderful and then the one versus one here spraying it out what a great great play from him so timeout here first from na'vi for masses oh they I I was about to say that they're not investing too much just some umps to keep that money strong flamy has gone pretty much all in now on the tside M you can get away with that right because you have the chance to get a gill armor you've got maximum loss bonus you get the bomb down you're still going to fool by next round CT side he's got all in on Famas diffuse kit and armor as well while his teammates have not so if they don't win this round he won't be getting much more than the 3,400 and uh that will mean he'll have a very similar buy going forward I hope he finds a couple of kills of the Famas here this is a Gamble from him a lot of money invested just down to 250 there he has got the kit though he he want that mean suggests he's playing for the win of this round the fact he spent $400 just on the kit and no utility he wants to give them a fighting chance and that's not bad at all that's a good way to do it opening kill on a leash that's smoke towards top of middle yields a frag and maybe even a rifle as well Electronics steals an AK so that Famas really working out for them early on Zeus down below it work I'm getting closer to twist oh my goodness oh my dear that's how it's done simple you don't need a knife just take the shot closes the distance Nitro gets spage back it's the advantage though to na'vi on that alone and Nitro goes over toward B with the awp he's not completely in vain he's got two teammates with him and they'll try to find electronic great little off angle for him but he gets closer and deeper in as his teammates arrive in the Smoke will make contact with Nitro that is a very audible que certainly is Nitro Jo by his teammates but not for long Ste 2K was the one to approach situation first that's the bomb dropped CTS to rotate over four versus two now some great shots from Nitro required he's been hitting them all day long another one required just to even get a plan here nice moloto the flush out simple and Co but the deagle will close things out here the First on on the board there for na'vi 5-1 they do manage to keep three players up from Salvage two AK-47s though so that's going to be very beneficial going forward need to maintain it though need to start building up their own Bank of rounds here one or two is not going to be enough on the CT side you're aiming for seven or eight to be honest on the CD side of Mirage boage not quite on the same level he was in the previous round one and six right now but very early days smokes towards a at the start this could be the double pump like we've got such early smoke turn the bomb down and T spawn this will just be them going a bait out utility I think that's exactly what's happened at this point they'll fall back so they have smoked off as you can see towards the steps and the jungle and just to try and bait out whatever the CTS had on the other side and that actually could have worked out you can see there's only one smoke remaining but there are incendiaries so they haven't rid of everything at this point but at least it was a nice idea there's still enough for an execution if they wish to go back into it go back around with the bomb toward a minute 16 no picks no damage not even any utility thrown in either direction sometimes you'll see a bit in middle at this point in time at least now slow the pace 51 for liquid Smoke's over full execution this time no question no doubt five there bomit has an angle boit has room but he can't get the shots he can't get them to land at all and in fact Napa Nitro do all the damage flamy goes down after in which electronic was found boom just smoked off has to back away needs oh goodness me he knows his angles threw the smoke perfectly to the doorway and Naf gets tagged to two but that's not enough because bombs planted and Stewie knows they're going to be trying to back out of this there's no way they'll try and go back in against five so he goes hunting early on and he can he's got the Gil that that's a weapon that's disposable at this stage I don't necessarily need it and uh he'll be hunting for whatever's available to him towards his be apartment or as the Barts as we like to call them we'll see now that's just you you were doing it much more than I was towards the end of Cav he'll get another that's a lovely shot takes Zeus down M4 I would say that's enough go for a wall bang sure that's a true stee style but with 30 HP I think just uh take that and run don't even risk it and that's a very smart play nice work by Stewie took down the rifle upgrades his glow to an M4 for free gets himself another 300 bucks stays alive and removes money from the na'vi bank account so that's great electronic will purchas the awp for flamy who must have a very good spawn let me check it out uh he actually doesn't right now but he's got a double op setup okay that makes more sense so there's enough there for simple to get the secondary or we are going to have the top of mid smoke come through once again we'll see if it lands just as effectively and it suddenly does spot on so they won't be pushing up this time it's just going to be there to bait out utility on the T side as they actively work towards that a round flamy takes a lot of damage though due to utility could be taken down here what a conversion that is nowly out of the palace and make sure he gets towards Shadow as well is going to find this kill but he knows he has to find another as being such a nuisance but not for long Advantage back to na'vi back to na'vi bich holding steady in the window smoke down a they've got simple on the awp as well to watch at CPL oh he looked away it's Stewie snuck in and that was just enough to throw off the aim grabs the gun and gets away boage backs off concedes window and he'll have to hold the hard way meanwhile Palace is still held by electronic and we know how powerful that is if he can get them in a triangle if he can peek at his control then the swing from Boom at spawn is still going to be Almighty and the bomb Works its way in in the hands right now of boit is going to go early in fact oh little bit desperate but that's enough though because remember he's just baiting an electronic here towards that Palace position sure boom didn't get the kill there but he's shown presence and they'll be aware of that with 20 seconds remaining this is uncomfortable for liquid that Palace position can be so strong this time the wall bang is successful the silence M4 gets it Nitro he'll have to just go for this one it's not going to work out from him at all Stewie 2K far too removing the situation and of course three on one nothing could be done 5 seconds on the clock he'll have to fall back and give in and accept the fact that they'll just take the or to the next round wasn't the cleanest RS for na'vi they'll certainly take it that's such a powerful setup there if you have established control of the palace position and the bomb side under your control from CD spawn as well boom is such a great job of just showing that presence and buying time but he did deny the plan at the end as well the fact he gets that kill is just a bonus the round was already w at that point for me uh but there it is two kills coming through wonderful work and like I said one of the few players still using that silence them four but so far so good still for liquid as a 62 up with another full buy ahead of them uh but this with the run that breaks them so this could be the turning points if na'vi can find itro quick shots will Waits 22k packing all the way through spawn back over toward B minute 31 Make Some Noise perhaps four smokes still in play molotovs on three Ste for the flash n and Molotov if he wanted to try and hold off a fake Zeus will put out early utility toward the B apartments and flamy we get back in the window so even though Stewie has snuck out the bottom side of middle they haven't done a lot yet to force the hand from na'vi they are slowing it down so as to bait utility they still have two smokes I was going to say two and Aries but that changes on a single Kill from Nitro to find simple electronic with a good response has it back to Shadow but this is where Stewie strikes he snuck all the way through connector before they even found him on the stairs terrorist and it's Nitro to close out the round with a that is the pins from hell every single kill every single angle it feels like there was Liquid player just ready and waiting just working off each other and is being such an absolute nightmare to deal with 72 it's liquid who answer back straight away just no momentum built up for na'vi at all there was that or safe in the previous round and Nitro using it a stunning effect in the round going forward you can see the temperament of na'vi now starting to change in a difficult position here money available but not a lot of it boit will have $2,500 3K for flamy there is a buy there but I I think if you buy into this round this stage of the game it's a bit of a statement you're almost admitting that that you're getting to the point of no return you need this round to work out for you I feel like they can take the partial here and still have enough to win the game but it's such a it's such a 50/50 cor I don't know which one is the better of the two I would say the partial but we'll see if they want to fully invest there's a I think we saw a ma 7 there Zeus has got it they don't fully invest but one shotgun brought out sent towards that b bomb side down both in front and behind the triple box quick plant mid sight possible smokes down jungle would allow it to be so but they have to watch for simple who could swing out from Spawn he wouldn't have a direct line of sight toward the planter but he could do damage to anyone of the post plant they won't allow it they never cross that threshold they do have to watch for the flank however and I think Stewie is positioned to do so na takes a good amount of damage but still gets away with the kill follows it up onto Zeus Stewie to help him and nine excuse me maybe nine but for now eight rounds looking very likely for liquid uh anticlimactic compared to our previous two Affairs it's still early days Matthew still early days it is day one you're right yeah it's day one um but I I feel like there's there's enough time they can get five six on the board na'vi a team that are more than capable of showing as what can be done here on Mirage and bomit not having the stunning performance he did on the first two maps but still plenty of time to bring it back A2 by available simple and boom back on the awps quite exciting the or potential they have boom I thought using the orb slightly more once it was brought in to me that would make sense but he seems like to be more of a secondary or with flamy MTH dependent is still simple is doing most of uh the leg work in that department as we get into round 11 here Nitro waiting for his first opportunity but na will steal it away from him boage goes down remember that's the secondary or that's going to be a difficult kill to give away look how commity he was as well on those apartments so that's going to be playing inside your head when you're having a rough game as it is and you've gone for a big play the or you said I'm going to work a pick towards a beart and you go down with nothing it can be demoralizing it be difficult to recover from that especially when you're sat at a score L night four- n Su 2K boosted up safely and the round slows right down as it should Team Liquid understand that the pressure now applied to the CTS they want to bleed out the little utility they have they've got two smokes three flashbangs and more importantly no kits connector control granted for liquid this is looking so good for them you can see set up towards a ramp with the bomb one player in the window to stop rotations two towards that connector should be almost no chance they na'vi win this unless electronic can find multiple kills gets one is it going to be enough I say probably not Zeus now with have a four-on-one situation against him he had a nice idea he's been doing that all series you have to say m he's been going those long pushes and he hasn't been part of necessarily the big jewels in the fights but he comes in for the the frag in the back which has turned around on his head he didn't have the time to do it this round he was pushing towards B but his teammates had already been dropped so nine now looks likely this time I can confirm that Henry you'd be correct just the org one flash but four players in liquid surviving this one yeah at this stage of that gun round not even looking too competitive you start doubting the prospect to na'vi being able to take this one haven't got anyone really popping off and going for it at the very top end of the fragging table electronic 8 and N simple three and N flamy 3 and 10 uh but Nitro what a series he's had 16 and five after 11 rounds he really is leading the charge here the spearhead of the operation and money still weak on the CT side flaming down just the MP9 deagle for simple right now I'm sure they've got him something else they haven't so just going to be taking the partial here with the sav Weaponry brushing middle same smokes this has managed to get the MF frag before can they do it again as the electronic towards those mid boxes they get nothing for it but maybe shove liquid into a stack we'll see Nitro what's on far side of the boxes to see if anyone had snuck up middle and was trying to surprise them electronic was the closest one to that position and he's already backed down catwalk toward the B site SM comes out late that'll allow them to wrap onto cat Zeus been playing very passively toward the window I have to say using the easel to try and look down below that's where Twisted do we want to walk in from bomb top mid not often you see it both on the oper and at top mid typically it waits at a for the attack to work but they are going all in on this play the single man on the offsite is Naf he waits inside of Palace so I anticipate that this could be an a play it's just a matter of getting the timing right uh and the CTS have nothing Mt if you look at the utility they actually have Z to hold off an a push here if there's any sort of smokes or flashes are coming in they can't really answer back at all there's the molotov the flashbang will follow as the players come through connector but a shot from simple gives him a Fighting Chance can he find another electronic can that's two from Spawn they actually take the advantage here remember no utility and somehow they've making this work it's Team Liquid now desperately trying to get the plan will the wo bang come through not attempted here and electronic gives up his position to CD spawn but that was already known to be fair at least the common position there trying to find the kill towards CD spawn not going to happen and Stewie left of an almost impossible task here so much to do with 5 HP bomb down but they do not have a kid but they know he's low that Co comes in what a shot that is oh my God he knows he's off the bomb as well he might do this electronic he'll be tested Stewie does he go all the way around with no kit M I think he's done enough even if he kills Stewie now he won't have enough time on the 10c defuse he saw his shoulder this is amazing from Stewie that shot on flamy was unbelievable he did that as fast as he had to had to be a head shot 5 P Nails it that's so well played from Stewie 102 n you can't buy one at this point yeah that's a worldclass play from steu that's really calm that's really really good the fact that he was left on a three on one there he reads a situation he knew the money was low there he knew it was a mish smash by a best they might not have a k he he hits the shot that really counts this one here all right everybody I have nasty Naf with me right now he's got a smile on his face because they did just avoid a little bit of an L there on Dust to first and foremost now wow is here with us stun thank you very much we going to make sure that he stays with us all game unlike the first half of D two he is actually on the board with 10 kills this time so Stunna confirms it thank you so much Sergeant it's Nitro that's going to go down first simple back on the op he swings all the way in watch out El little did he know that he would be that far into the sight and oh my God he's not done there nap down inside of the doorway of the palace and oh my goodness the op finally giving na'vi a in the round four on two that's shot from simple it's just such a classic play from him isn't it just ducking and weaving around ladders hitting ridiculous shots and making it look like it's the easiest thing in the world four on two twists and Stewie though certainly capable of bringing it back a similar sort of Duo to simple and electronic we'll see whether they can pull it off they've got AKs this time Zeus have a decent position towards a b Apartments but he is low now that's done that's called a one and done position this one but that would be fine considering he's got 20 HP and he would bring it back to a three-on-one situation this is actually a very good spot from Zeus this is all he has to do but if he doesn't get the kill that's a problem he's the only player that can really do much about this one kill round down that should be it now twist sure he'll get the trade but there's no chance simple as there at the scene of the crime so nice positioning from Zeus and they win only their third round that's the problem with that mat yeah it's a good round fantastic wor from simple they need the 10 five like there's no doubt about it nothing else will do at this point 10 five is cable 123 I would say certainly not let's see whether they can get this next round well third to Fourth maybe get a fifth maybe we get a game maybe we get more overtime maybe na'vi will beat liquid maybe liquid will go to the playoffs I'm thinking that seems more likely at this point simple not what he plays like that yet again he's quick Le down top of mid and a mov to force the issue once more T going out toward a ramp guess who's going to arrive on the scene and bomit knows that simple wants that space so I trip over each other he slides out reverse fire he does seem to be queuing off his teammates rather well so far for such a short amount of time in which to incorporate himself onto this roster that's great work from Nitro he spotted a pixel as boom crossed over towards the site took him down but flamy this is aggressive he wants two kills out of this one just ducking weaving around these smokes ste's in a good position but not for long this is such a brawl on the a side but I think na'vi have done enough maybe not twist this kill one versus one all 10 players felt like they're on the a side there comes right down to the wire but na'vi win the must win round remember we spoke about this before though you only get 32 50 on the CD side for winning out through kills so with the fact that four players went down means that there might be compromises here there was a bit of residual cash I think they're okay for the full buy here did they find the awp at the end that's the question I think they did indeed so a couple of things missing he Zeus has a decoy and a smoke he just had to buy that and excepted boom only has the smoke here so expensive frags and a fast a push coming in here and opposite word being fast Here Comes stey 2K great Kill from him takes down boom Ric hean back but smoked out looking for the Gap here but flashbangs flying through will he be able to do anything more before the bomb's planted I am not sure do we getting Zeus flam gets Nitro back though and it's still the advantage for na'vi just not with the HP because Stewie now finds flamy it's all on to simple he's got the awp to try and hold off the site watch for the fact that the plant comes in but it's just low enough on the other side of the box so that simple can't see the shots see he shall though simple he knows Stewie's not the most patient person and that is an incredibly accurate shot through the edge of the wood oh Naf he can see him he can blatantly see him what's just happened there I don't know what happened to nav I'm not going to was he just looking at him that was confusing on both sides I don't think anyone knows why this happened there so na it was a one versus one now we've got a stop call okay nothing that can be done in that situation unfortunately so yes simple still win the round right that's how it would go down even if Naf has crashed whatever it was at that point I'm not sure it's we're going to take a break now we'll find out what's happening break anyway we'll take the break we'll work out what happened there we be right back [Music] [Music] count [Music] going [Music] Pi back [Music] [Music] your [Music] real let it take a getting high on tion around around people [Music] fightan [Music] ofwhere bewhere be hold up they ain't count on that they ain't count on that they ain't count on that sure what you going do they don't want on that [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] a welcome back 105 liquid on the start that looked very promising Nai did make a small bit of comeback toward the end unfortunate situation it seems as though Naf did like out toward the last round in a one-on-one situation which may have played played very differently that said simple do see him right away but we get underway it was so late into the round and so much had happened that hypotheticals cannot be what dictate outcome and thus we find ourselves continuing onward in liquid they won't be too disappointed with that given that it is them in the lead by five midt seems to be the name of the game for the pistol round that said bombs out toward a main and simples inside of Palace I think you know the what rest as to where this is going I think you might be right p50s available Zeus makes his way through that connector first shot comes in it's boom and flamy Landing both head shots at that point it's going to be incredibly difficult for Twist to hold on here but his teammates are arriving head shots delivered he spots another one up there towards the balcony two versus two now such an incredible difficult shot here and it will be twist somehow still alive trying to do whatever he can to get the hell out of the Shadow position he's got back out from Stewie that certainly helps things out the round slows down 45 seconds remaining electronic though backstabbing from Jungle and is this the moment where n'i can close it out the round looked to be theirs shots with a bomb down and simple fighting the favor 30 HP twists wants to wall him down but simple here's him going for the reload swings out takes advantage of the situation 10-6 Navi continue on now with four rounds in a row collectively from the last half in this and perhaps more given that the money will now be in their favor well there you go the two on two does fall in their favor absolutely true and uh yes nothing we can do about the lagout situation but but it happened just before halim as well like that's going to be demoralizing to say the least and he lose the pistol followup as well still in the lead and there is the force fire which is pretty standing by liquid's uh game today it means if you do lose this round you'll take a full at next you'll have a really strong first gun round and you have a chance to steal this one away there isn't an argument to made you can take a full Eco on the second and bu in the third and it just depends what you prefer there's no real correct approach just what play style you prefer round 17 of the nades exchanged here Stewie might get the better though as electronic will be D down to 71 HP smoke in the window allow them to boost up if they so wish remember for spy from liquid here just pistols and basic utility now five with the smoke towards sh and he'll have to avoid the Flames o takes a bit more damage than he wanted to there in towards CPL at 60 HP these quick Peaks jiggling back and forth It's Stewie that wants to contribute they've got the crossfire AK is not finding kills they need to be careful not to block each other in though as a Le stepped into Nitro but they still get the kill and they'll Rush down the AK with three boom on the other side speaking of three he was looking for his third he won't get it flamy wants in behind bombs down they've got two AKs to hold that distance against some 10 somehow the Mac 10 finding the kill but Nitro holds fast and firm helmet perhaps the difference 116 116 indeed and it will be Nitro to hold on to the round 21 kills to his that means by the way go only half of the pistols were converted yeah that that's such a good point it's it's been so back and forth in that department and I guess that change in the economy system has led to more exciting counter- strike in terms of second rounds seem to be a lot more fun these days and we do get more gun in general um so I like you overall we've had a lot of time to look at this change now and I feel like it's been a positive one for the game of Counterstrike from a spectator point of view it does lead to a lot more excitement at the start and more gun rounds as I mentioned so that's always good play me with that opening AK-47 this is another Force spy and response first player goes down though that's simple never good news if you're an RV fan bomit checks the hallway quickly Zeus P250 such success but flamy will put a Molotov down at the door on Palace he could swing this twist doesn't know he's this close this could easily be a kill on okay never mind got to wake up pretty early in the winter to catch an esimo out of a eagloo it's a Canadian reference Henry twist gets electronic with the pistol Ste we will find boom and it's just on to Zeus liquid to go 12 to six doubling up the score again and remember we're not done for the day after this we've got more counter- strike coming your way immediately after in fact just to note Furia did take down Renegades 20 but we we move on to phase energ if I'm not mistaken that will be one out of a game counterterrorist two teams battling for their position in the rankings right now that's for sure Stanis La just arriving in the roster as well like that's that's huge that's going to be an interesting team to follow they've got a lot of fire power on that Squad now with the departure of daps and NRG already looked great tactically now you bringing that element as well I'm not sure how good they're going to look but I hope it's a great game that's a really fun matchup to look forward to uh 126 liquid up against the FCO here this won't be as exciting this round I'm afraid p50s Glocks no armor no nades just one of those rounds where you try and bait us try and cost a lot of money a couple of kills would be a victory in its own right oh my God that grenade has just absolutely destroyed na'vi don't know who threw it but either way it will be a kill in the turn like I said a couple's not bad flamy he's at least found that for now they've got a rifle as well Zeus could actually get another but without the armor it's difficult to make it work twist will spray him down good grenade towards connector again a lot of AG damage here three versus one simple he's decent but this seems a little bit beyond the pair we'll see if he can do anything with the AK F and connector holds for mistakes now with a minute remaining I suppose why not very quiet no CTS inside bomb in his grasp he just wants to see if a CT will be inquisitive at this point will anyone allow him bomb down absolutely not twist will get him 136 the third and final map of this series this was the H oh my goodness it did so much damage it against it's a full e like we said but it's always fun to see the Tactical nukes dropped on Mirage he saw so much damage inflicted there very cool stuff and we get into round 20 na'vi on the ropes now and Matt if they had won D two this could have been a two z in their favor that's that's the that's the craziest thing about this what a series this has been yeah it be it I it's just this series is bizarre I mean ignoring the fact that the simple knife occurred it's been a very entertaining series for day one group great absolutely there's been some great rounds but yes it could have been a 20- for na'vi if not for that and unfortunately that will be the one point that this game in this series gets remembered for not if they keep walking through smokes like that flamy as well at least Stewie all this they're going to back out there's no point going for this save the guns I'm afraid so we'll go 16 or rather 13 to seven I put the six with the three and made it 16 we're not there yet not quite well simple he seems like he's there he'll be gunning for the 16th round it's going to take him some time but he keeps that up they might have a chance lovely work from him towards CPL 22k about I was about to say a chance to save the or that's not going to happen very clean round very convincing from na'vi there and we go to number 21 here the money actually not fantastic for the North Americans going to have to take a bit of an Eco here I would say there's enough for a Nitro or and two rifles but when you're 137 up the C of Mirage third and final map these are not risks you need to take simple so quick so precise and boage similar story brought in to provide extra Firepower replace the veteran of na'vi through 1.6 and indeed CS go and uh one of the young Russian Talons played a majes before he's got experience and now playing under some of the greatest names that game has produced from CIS region oh oh okay I'm glad we snapped over just in time to see that all right Al is that rushley let's uh calm it down no I believe it's Jake Jakey ah it's Jakey okay they both have e at the end of their name jakey's already cooler than rushley we can be friends he you should be friends with him he's a lovely man Zeus though as opposed to rushley yeah well I'm just I like to pick on rushley leave it alone that's probably him messaging me now saying it's over he sending me a CN D the the El deagle not looking quite as precise it's a very difficult shot there towards sha he managed to open things up but looks like na'vi with the one's closing it down boage with the frags almost gifted him I was about to say but na take that AK and run that's the play I'd be making at this point T unable to nail the jump towards sha maybe to his Advantage actually because simple was ready and waiting for it and you can almost Bank on the fact who's going to hit that shot so there you go three on three bomb to go off no problem at all liquid though recovering two rifles a CZ armor on twist as well I believe twist will have uh he's got 100 armor as well not a huge deal on the CD side but he can get a helmet for 350 bucks just to know um if he really wants one but you don't normally need it against the AK it's nice to save the armor might as well your money's tight as it is and there it is na'vi 138 down will there be a tactical timer here I haven't seen as many here on Mirage final map here double op set up Nitro and Stewie like I said Stewie's been the one it's like when we start started to notice his double or potential in this team was on marage that's why he started see sneak in every now and then he started using it and it's a bit of a main stay now he he'll bring it out more often than not trolling towards middle back jungle it's a default round from na'vi leaving the bomb towards t-spawn flamy holding Palace no aggression from the CTS really at all Le will hold connected looking towards that underpass area monov to push back a potential or on the other side but Nitro is there but he's on the van so Zeus is showing presence are going to see the bomb's still down in t- spawn so any sort of play here towards the B it's a fake from what I can gather right now the fact that bomb's in the position it is they're just trying to take Vision away from the CTS but lovely moving for Nitro there he still has control of the Bartons for now for now Zeus sliding out from the archway B down he'll go back for electronic to rotate over flamy Palace twist getting closer to the front of the a site does he go under Shadow does he play the arch it looks like he's definitely going to get more aggressive toward aain now he steal momentum back with two rounds look we don't want this to get out of hand the arch is interesting cuz a kill in Middle from Naf on to boage a second from Ali is to simple I was going to suggest that they haven't seen any activity toward a so perhaps they rotate off B but it's not going to be down middle at all and Al realizes that electronic wants out a palace twist knows there's no one else coming toward a main and Zeus is pincered no matter which way he goes well there it is a huge round to pick up liquid and it's a clean one of that it's a Le to finish things off it's going to be 14 to eight Zeus has $6,700 electronic with 6K as well they do have enough to buy here for sure but they are running out of time it looks like liquid with three ORS going into round number 23 I like it it's not a big deal on Mirage you can make that work one towards jungle one on window one towards B why not I guess terrorists win anything can work technically just don't see it too often they've picked up the three ORS they might have enough rifal in spawn to transition with they've got a timeout here from na'vi as well just to discuss this setup um but I think they'll be fine with it it really isn't a big deal it's not a huge talking point especially when you've got this sort of lead it's not that they've bought into this it is f an extra or and he said you know what we've got Nitro Stewie and Naf all pretty amazing opers to be honest why not give it a go if we close it out like this it will be uh quite a story so then na'vi looking better today M I have to say this is a promising start for them even if they don't win this series like sure we we can we'll talk about that knife situation all day long but they're not KN out of the tournament it's promising to see the team look synergized and they've been doing their Theory they've been putting hard work and they've got extra Firepower now the team is looking solid right this is promising this this is but it's also you've got to consider honeymoon aside you've got this event you've got another potentially two more I'm not sure exactly what their schedule entails but you've only got a few events before we hit the player break and then we go straight into the major cycle it's got to be on navi's Minds to win a major I agree they are the the top organization to have not won one in my opinion at this point I mean liquid yes you could argue the same thing but not for the same duration na'vi has been knocking on the door for years in the majors well at this point it's liquid battling for series point three versus three remember triple ORS coming into this one you don't see that every day simple he'll be waiting for his next opportunity as he holds towards sandwich right now remaining of course no bomb planted yet Nitro what a day he's had fantastic work throughout and that's Testament to it that's a lovely shot towards sandwich but he's going to be dropped Zeus with a lovely sh the or but it comes down to the one versus one Naf and Boomer both of the snipers here and both aware of each other's positions who moves first bomb natural conclusion that allows Naf the position and he walks in pistol in hand but boit jumps up on where he's that close Naf gets the head shot inad dead and it's going to be map and series point for liquid you've got to give bomit credit as you say to your Firepower though he's not scared to try and make plays whereas Edward was more passive in those situations he still goes for the Peaks and he's willing to use the awp he's certainly going to mold into this team well but na played that so well he did he took a bit of a gamble that a lot of players a lot of Pros would actually go for the fake plan there and bait out the CT he's aware of it and still took that risk he walked straight past the choke point of danger there where the or could take him down in the post plant situation and you can see boom had no idea it was a really really cool play there from now flight and one that may maybe wins in the game at this point you can see money is at an absolute low the tech 9es are out the the SMGs are there the lack of utility it's going to be a scrappy Victory if they do pull this one off Ste will strike first and find boom flew the Flames he goes living up to his name flamy will be on the a side towards the sandwich he's making a lot of noise though and twist knows it five on three it looks like we might be done here simple Nitro comes back for the cheeky little smoke inside of the B Apartments but simple's already forward of that and as it blooms he tries to use the sound key to get a few steps ahead but Naf gets him down instead and it's just electronic and Zeus remaining for na'vi this should now be the game and series it's been a long one for liquid at all 30 rounds in map number two this one only in the 24th looks like it could conclude but let's not forget dust two which went to double overtime before it was closed out by liquid it could have been a shorter game it could have been done on round 27 Nitro get both fitting the in game leader the one to shut it down and they'll move on to the playoffs liquid great start and keep in mind that's one step closer to the Grand Slam that they're chasing you're absolutely right there Matt a lot of story lines here at esl1 colog 2019 this one though will be remembered it's a group stage game but what a game it was a best of three that really had us on the edge of our seat through out it had absolutely everything the historic clutches the amazing moments the blunders and uh just so many great elements to it it's going to be a gutting start for na'vi here you can see it on their faces of course they're disappointed but as I mentioned before they should keep their heads held high because this is looking much better it's a step in the right direction and we'll throw it over our boys at the analyst desk oh
