Luminosity Gaming vs Team Liquid - Semi Finals - MLG CSGO Major

side of Mirage so liquid or gonna be up against a test straight away to defuse kits coming out to the American side simple and rain will be carrying those Elisheva samokhin tees throwing out straight away hiko and nitro gonna be on the kevlar it's already this life even also you'll be setting off to just get a fast play into the a-bomb so I know passive plays are straight in there straight in the face of a liquid players a lot of people gonna be a running out of palace as well I wonder if Ally she's in the shadow positions gonna be able to do some damage here he's also got some support from my turret CT spawn here as well but here it goes through but I'll see you getting in there and now what's the price just being traded at the moment actually only one player down and the smokes are gonna be up there to really stop this this retake from going as planned for liquid but look at this trying to push CT spawn and FNX is going to pull it off with two frags leaving everything on the shoulders of a trend but see you later a trend now on hiko the clutch master out the team fur has something to say about that great attempt there by team wick were they had the perfect answer for a luminosities pushed it back down in sea to spawn unfortunately luminosity just got the frags when they pushed down his CT spawn and that's where the last round nice open plant from luminosity as well going to triple robbed in the default so very solid pistol round and liquid off on the wrong foot you might say you can see they've opted for three hate cheese we've seen it before in this tournament we'll see if they managed to make good use of them we saw I think it was a liquid actually who had double hate cheese or maybe you were on the receiving end of them on cash here we go we've got three men coming through the connector area that smoke is gonna cause some problems for both teams surfer close in a distance it's gonna get one tap from a leash they're looking for more kills but simple spot down as well it is an eco for liquid three men still live here so perhaps they can get the mac-10 that fur drops a bit later on to police the walkman connects up more things from him but he's gonna get taken down by FNX just to liquid players remaining EKOS taken down too though so fallen and cold Last Man Standing the form is coming up the slope and he has to range on he code doesn't have any weapons yet so he cuts gonna have to pull out a massive clutch in order to keep the forest theme cool it's got no cover and he's gonna go down straightaway now it's coldzera he hasn't got the razor the mac-10 this could really go either way but i'ma put attrition for the PT 50s but it'll make em p7 let's lock in something from Pico is he actually gonna do this quarter it's got less than 10 HP yeah amazing play by he co but I have to point out the mistake there by falling why did he go for the plant when Cole was in the middle he plant the Georgia Cedars for nerves I mean it's crowd I mean if there are two elements described one is obviously the pressure like that's a cold and co are gonna be feeling but also depression on liquid but also if things go the way of the liquid that we saw yesterday simple might get a bit too excited so there's so many factors truly to this crowd we will see how it goes one on one liquid with the guns now we have the force by coming out from the Inasa t and for next is moving very close to the connector indeed for the shot and for next really sick one deke there over by the ticket booth and now liquid on the pressures back on them again they have to scramble to reposition here they can feel the presence coming in fo next once again with a deagle this guy is going nuts at the moment and tacos getting in there as well but how is this happening luminosity turning the tables on liquid got away better by much was getting in there with the Europeans straight back as well with a frag but he co once again guess who's on his shoulders eighty into the side but is going to find no target there's the face and fur is gonna close it down to one and luminosity just bounced back immediately very simple a split there from luminosity and FNX just winning that round by himself getting to inter kills there with that deagol and he's been pulling out of his mind this tournament I think he dropped a third of all vs. us in a group stage so yeah he's gonna be a big factor in this how is a huge walk into connection just one day people what doesn't happen to me well you know it's just ridiculous right well this time we've got four hate cheese coming in from the midwinter side nobody you couldn't often see fourth quarter force fight in a situation but it seems liquid gonna be a little more passive where are these haters going that it's one top mid there are two players top mid for the tease as well but I don't have to try and slow things down here previously after the pistol they were moving really fast towards connector fur has come from the underparts this time so a little bit of a difference we can see that the numbers to liquid are stacked over towards the a sights at the moment minute thirty on the clock just one Molotov on the new must be gaming side and fur again is going to be the man to sack with the mp7 so six HP who had mine taken down two players and luminosity may read that there is a stack over toward a bomb site you can see a taco trying to do a bit of harassment from Palace as well simple rotating so liquid putting all their chips on the a bomb site at the moment but the bomb itself might start to move to move over towards B luminosity so just take it slow at the moment you can see they're getting a lot of information as well and the creepy apps is definitely a very good choice and they've got I played by a short as well in the window and so things are looking a pretty pretty solid tearfully Manasa T taco to confirm what's going on in this bomb site as if he made scream awards once it spots a couple plays then they're gonna know that the be bomb site is open for the taking pretty good play here for me when I'll sleep discipline quick frags FTE ko who saves me able to steal away a Gil ill but luminosity you know pulling off a pretty nice antipholus fly round in this in this one yeah and I kind of feel bad for we could they haven't had really good decision-making this out on the pistol round they went down towards C de-spawn they did it over commit on the round where FNX got those to Diggle kills the didn't over commit in middle they're just getting out aim at this point well nitro is in a good position to save this gadot as D T's aren't gonna overextend fur and cold or quite heavily tags and the other two and want to give up their rifles in the hunt it seems so we'll see if nitrate can do anything with this in a mixed random there's not much money on the rest of the team at the moment they're gonna be between two thousand two three and a half so should be another good round of four luminosity furthest tip continues with the Mac turns in the previous round so we can expect him to do more information finding for his team they will be weary of that one Goodell will see if might show opted to buy any Kevlar indeed he will pick up some Kevlar with it he had a bit more money in the bank than some of his team but the main boy will come in the next round for liquid so my trace put off smoking the flash as well he Coast got the five-seven and we know he is super strong seen many highlight clips on maps such as cash where he plays those close corners and he's already been clutching straight away for a liquid which is good sign for the future so seems that the velocity gonna speed things up on this occasions a very fast be split perhaps having a read on liquid going to stack a once again but simple is on the hunt yeah not too much to work with if it seemed looking in this round as expected just managing their economy of course though might reduce steal away or other heat Co was everything to kill Anna Khalil playing micro has that now so perhaps look we can get a lot of damage in get those frags on the exits they are starting to move around middle and looks like simple to push fallen away from the B apps at the moment the slight coals can be able to take down he could win a dren so they could not able to get too much from this round so far but there is still in the lead still as simple these gonna pick up a frag there's the trade coming in the what can simple get done no Kevlar cuz it's easy gonna spot the frag on to cold and he claimed the weapon that's the question we all know what simple can do with more or less anything it's gonna find that m4 and there could be some players facing in this two at once but as simple gonna do here is gonna keep facing and that's it for linens gonna pick them up the sky and looks like we'll go to four hours now putting but I'll see one for liquid the liquid can finally feel day by what sleep doing with us it yeah this is actually the first wheeler weapon around orbiter game fire were homes into the match it always becomes awkward when you win back and forth there in the beginning with the four spice but finally we can see a an op here in RN and a lot of mates on the rest of Team Liquid no Kevlar on Adreno so he will be running around naked in the nude let's see if you can also you can just break liquid once again if liquid can fight back with these weapons actually going for the press admits a holster is gonna point itself under quite a bit of pressure here the aggressive incendiary now can he get out of there the smoke is gonna help that here comes the cavalry from the underpass simple with the fraggles weapon X but it's trying to spring madly but simple picking up another one he's gonna get support here absolute madness in middle fer pulling out the block still can't find the crack what is going on simple jump straight through the window and fire is gonna finish him off but it is still a four versus three in favor of liquid why did simple overcommit in that battle he got two in Turkey like you know just fall back to the a site and just when I won the round 100% but instead he went for the jumping USP nitro standing top mid behind a smoked an entire time and the numbers continue to dwindle on the liquid so I think evened up now a three for three fer has not got much HP though were kids I hate to be paper-thin at the moment we'll see if the luminosity so I didn't get a plant the bomb stone used to go towards default where Alicia is holding down goes to bomb and now we have only one player on the site and that's fallen with an AWP he is susceptible to being traded here fer it's coming in quickly in t slope but again he's only got 7 HP and there he goes quickly dispatch that's why he co has fallen versus free now you can try to as much damage as possible to the CT fine but he won't do any more damage than I think liquid I mean I cooked that really could have gone either way nitro is standing behind the smoke top min while tube is teammates thought somebody underneath the window for what seemed like an eternity yeah and I took could have just turned around jump on to the ledge and just killed further in the back here we can see the once again simple getting those 200 kills him kissing nitro dere up that's that's the the Thomas simple right now is that you this guy is just incredulous to watch because you're no idea what's going to happen when you're in this point of view but into the next round liquid stringing one wire together or but in a tank they're from a training all the challenge coming in the dren will escape though a twenty two points of helpers the mid will be taken up by the luminosity side fires can be challenging towards connector as well now you can see a very passive not having to give up that position and luminosity gonna know this and they gonna start to be you can see firing connector Takako isn't the palace perhaps together they can make a play here on to the a bomb so I have to see that's gonna pan out here but these positions are very forward for the velocity and I'll be worried if I was liquid the smoke went down in sitio just been reflexes go by the t's adrenaline the Alicia instantly exchanged places so it renders on toll booth now looking into connector so if you live enough she opted for the splits wood eight and they could be in trouble psychos in Palace the bomb his thoughts on mid FX has been harassing be he's currently playing a passive liquid need to take some ground back here towards connector yeah I think nitrous plainclothes a slope so they've opted to try and get real estate elsewhere but again fur is just waiting and waiting but allegiance of what one who's gonna be taken down in that we've fallen on short so he could suggest that there's gonna be a beast bit so they've got a stack that AWP here and put the rest of the team over towards the a bombs like notch was getting more aggressive now but it's only him and adrenaline well he's funny but it looks like he was gonna take down fallen but FNX on the other side of the map I mean he's gonna get the kill but they spotted the bomb now but will it matter a trenors out of the picture he's been taken down by taco and now as he Cohen simple against the world and I have to see if they can actually do something in this position it's gonna be a very tough one so in math grenade on fur the smoke couple flashbangs the bomb is down there's four players with plenty of time for the post plants so with all of that information liquid they're going to go for the seed keep the rifles alive at they can and there's got a kit full full Kevlar a couple bashes with the orb as well so definitely a lot of value there to say very surprised liquid went for that gamble having two guys deep onto that B side boosting simple simple contain any information from that position and I mean they're probably gonna be able to save their weapons this round but they just gave up middle way too easily there and when you stack two people towards the B side you're almost giving up to a site because the rotation times is so long when you're standing on the actual site right so I mean how do you feel about the early round player otherwise looks good yeah I mean they try to contest middle middle in the beginning the only thing I just like what's that he didn't try to take it back once luminosity gained connector control well the money is pretty bad on a liquid side at the moment this will definitely be an echo from the players around the AWP and the m4 never mind that simple drops of famous actually so let's see if it wise going to come in here from liquid indeed they are going for what seems to be a full force because can I leave before the maze and so on so they've got two famous is an m4 the AWP on two simple now so they're gonna need a bit of explosiveness but even if the force they want to stack the a bomb site but there's nobody there for luminosity let's see if liquid can gain this information and do something about it before he could find themselves in a lot of trouble then they'd smoke on the right way either it is hiko though and he is definitely the march to these situations but can he do this although attackers were taken down straightaway but a pressure on liquid outs and somehow rotate in time but they can Lucia have the side completely locked on this is a really hard retake to be honest if I was gonna go close he's gonna miss the house cope and that means that now his team liquid they are completely shut out of that site and look at the aggression luminosity they want to clean up these weapons can liquid survive here a dremel to defend against taco but it's still dangerous right now because FNX he is on the hunt coming in from t spawn he could definitely get a couple kills here this is a very dangerous moment for liquid they must keep these three weapons alive even though my fears on a57 c-cold zero making sure nobody grabs the AWP either which obviously what could he could be breaks nice so nitro supple weapon indeed it's gonna get an 8a so looks like liquid will survive with three players although and cold are very close Oh dren just speaks at a very last moment there goes one of their rifles and once again liquid going for a stack four people play the a site that round and stacking the site is to tell that liquidus giving way too much respectful luminosity right now they just have to play more spread out at the beginning of the rounds otherwise if they're on luck you like cap on this ROM luminosity will just go the other site they just went on to be where he goes all alone all right well this round liquidly just gonna go for a very fast MIT push with all the players and this is gonna be pretty chaotic right now will the luminosity be able to deal with this it goes straight for a far short push to this actually might work outputting but I'll see the frag slot to come in now the trades that counter could get these flags things really needs to stop down there for next he's low on HP he's gonna pull back the flash is gonna go up into the sky but simple will get the kill three versus three now but if this wants to get a retake situation the bomber is gonna be planted but there's a lot of pressure and not much time if any to get post partitions here for luminosity let's pick up the AWP only got one HP so he's gonna be definitely better off with the one-shot cannon let's see all the players coming in from short we've got a CT boosted Epson light through that smoke as soon as the clearing simple the running boost is not gonna work out for him fallen taking down he co as well so it's nitro to try and save what he can and again we mentioned it yesterday that's things that might work against a weaker team are probably not going to work against luminosity it's definitely gonna be a harder sauce all round here for liquid so luminosity are going to extend their lead to five rounds again this was an eco a fairly clear despite the weapons that they had in the hole they've lost a few rounds in a row now who should be a should see a buy coming out for the CT side but it's not gonna be a great one I really hope they will go for the mid control once again the only round we saw them one was when they had two people in the window and nitro push catwalks so let's see if they tried to go for a similar setup already tried to go for the more like the super passive setup they had on B and right now we can see that turns out she got the opening hand it would be nice to see you my Schieffer at the simple but he's got a spawn pass he was to get straight into a fast angle and indeed he's gonna look for this the slope pick you will be denied initially and then back to connector and luminosity looking like they might wants it go very quickly here pass even through the the smoke of the CTS into this a bomb site but right now the liquid of pushing the answer to people but it's like that information for gonna come walk quickly enough etre me the first frag nitros in there as well at the a k they're actually holding on he releases while typing in do you place that for luminosity liquid before still they're standing for it will push the smoke he's gonna find the drag that somehow some way a drink makes it work quick flick with the AWP and he's gonna show once again prove all those haters wrong as he has done this entire tournament cold now is against four players as they surround him from the back he's just it's got lots of time it's about that ticket see if liquid will make a mistake and push him prematurely and he might just get that nitro first man to pool male 3 left and simple shoots him in the back liquid with an explosive explosive defense there on the a side will go to three rounds and a very cool set up there from liquid having nitro just going for the information play from the ticket booth two guys source connector going to for that middle control and would it be surprising to just try to go for a similar setup here team liquid have picked up a seven-second off which means the human cannon simple is going to be unleashed we'll see if he is able to go full at the L mode or if he is gonna be dispatched off quickly he is going into mid he is going on to short and he's looking into the gap all nice NB a is here fallen has been sent into another dimension and that is a very early frag for liquid but taco it's gonna get sweet revenge for his team simple on too short now it's super fast but luminosity are changing the approach and they're keeping liquid guessing we've seen fast beat plays we've seen shocking or towards a lots of fast mid plays at the beginning and now things are slowing down on the T side yes actually I wonder if there's a read that liquid have from watching demos therefore and sometimes goes for the really fast pick there when he has an open slow because there's a perfectly time double AG and that was it fallen didn't even get to do anything so force attack the trade does come in that's a double warp here for liquid is certainly gonna be a different beast fully awesome deal to deal with seems like there's gonna be a be play with cold holding rotations via short because he's a back with mid but he's got no support whatsoever the lot the remaining 3 luminosity players are heading towards simple dance warming his hands up because he's expecting some carnage here but these are very sharp shooters on the Brazilian side he's double scoped in down goes for there are two more coming his wave got pop flashes coming and he's got he coming to support as well eco just waiting this I mean he may not even be needed simple it's still on the angle he could spot one dropping in simples actually kind of close with the AWP / eco turns around grabs FNX shuts him down now it's taco up there and simple Scott the angle see you later taco just cold now less standing for the Brazilian side he's gonna get shot in the back here he's got no idea which way to look at this point this round is gonna be more or less impossible for Cole to save I mean Cole is a beast but with 10 seconds left he's just gonna try to hope to save his weapon or not die off the time they could with a good defense all started was simple in the absent with no pop flash turn to get a simple off with an angle Oh looks like that she called me time [ __ ] and not just gonna get the kill off the time that's a big win for liquid they're winning two rounds in a row at least they are able to build up some can of bank I like the idea there from luminosity going towards the B site as if you're only four series remaining you usually seem to have only one guy on the B site but I don't think they expected simple to have an awkward thing I was a good round for simple confident to see there he's feeling the pressure are the two orcs continue here for Team Liquid three round deficit now seven rounds on the T side looking pretty good for leaving Las T's so far and hit liquid we'll need to defend as much as possible going aggressive towards a slope or liquid playing around the smoke seems that perhaps we might see a flush coming in a dren it's gonna take down FNX and that's gonna be a good booth for him but we put trades coming in from coldzera two players in mid for luminosity on this eco but here comes the challenge of slow from palace velocity may be pushing the smoke but nitro is there no entry for luminosity into that a bomb site but can they still find a way they do have so presence towards connector in tank o course you got much to worries just a PT fifty there there is a deal in the hands of coals towards the window area and he may just to see the pics are looks like she like he didn't see eco they're just missed him go forwards attack whose part of self an AWP a juicy juicy aw people hopefully get this position cold having to spin around he co will get the Frank there and it's looking very dark indeed in this rapper do but I'll Steve nitro sense tacos body lifeless down the stairs fallen only one frag not enough liquid are really going back into this one five rounds for them it's still a hard road but they are making some inroads look at the remaining our three players with almost over 5k so I wouldn't be surprised if liquid actually will take the remaining rounds of the staff now it's winning 87 the double dogs continue rescued 100 James is that what I think it is what is this this is not Rambo part 3 we're not we're not in Nam guys just to be honest it is quite legit to play close a slope with a shotgun here we go and they give there we go that's quite proficient with an m249 so maybe you want to cross this run which things are gonna begin but the push is coming - frags the negative is gonna be shut down by FNX but they're only two T's remaining the bumps on the floor as well two cc's remaining colds a little tight spot though because he's in somewhat of a crossfire he goes coming into the peak he goes gonna go down it's down to a dren the unexpected talisman of the team are missing the flip there fish and chips he's not gonna get the frag cold enough Eric's gonna get tags but the round continues can't even blame the the negative there because hey he still picked up two kills to be honest that's pretty respectable from this position suppressing fire so Bruce look for the biggest problem here is that liquid is actually out of money now and at least would have been able to drop it oh they will they actually buy but he would have been able to drop in and for question is what's that what's that on purpose or not but it was it was glorious for a short time it lost it both teams back on the fly obviously Team Liquid going to be quite limited would it mean aggression we'll have to wait and see yeah ad Ren and simple coming towards Cpl they're got simple don't get booted actually interesting to see what can be made of this if you're gonna try and escape and simple it's going to take on FMX elsewhere ruthless aggression coming in from a Ukrainian I'll be loose like Ashley first trying to sneak into that connector areas can have a meeting it with its red but at 10:00 takes him down a lead defeating taco and now once again luminosity finding themselves down a few men and with no ground to work with it's gonna be hard to save this one liquid looking very good to go to those six rounds and of course after the last losing that last run that their money is is awful so they really needed this one the money looks on both teams right now to be able to take this the next round as well so liquid looking quite good for that seven eight so long as they can shut down cold and and fall in here but : formed I mean these guys know the liquid is all the pressure that this is the kind of stage where any kind of mistakes can happen so we can see that fallen is making the move now through the absence still calls there is looking in mid I mean he could catch a rotation as liquid might feel a bit confident having five players to go for some info in mid but no one just yet they could playing very disciplined sticking to the sights so like this is fallen he is of course very dangerous with this will he be able to guess right though it's gonna be a guessing game for short 30 seconds left to play with simple is just insurance at this points on the B side here we go they're gonna make their way in coldest be spotted fallen knows that his position is still a surprise and that's called Sarah Dunn Borland with the flip is not good if he curve once again six rounds for liquid liquid looking great ruff no the problem is luminosity order to have eight rounds right board and I think there that's more than enough for them going into the CI decide but if we can keep this momentum going into the T side win the pistol round may before it's luminosity but into a bad economy they have an opening back into this map it's the last round of the first half we see obviously the force by coming out from luminosity they cannot muster a single rifle for tec-9s the one p250 on to FNX and very limited maze as well so perhaps we're going to see a fast play from the side with very limited resources FNX moving through the smoke on short service like the b.split is on and look how deep the liquid players are towards a if there's a fast pick in favor of luminosity liquid could be in a lot of trouble here a lot of trouble in V over the dynamic juror he Cohen simple all he goes I'm gonna get steeper just initially but he will eventually go that simple number two still walk players charging into him he's letting me good for two bit of Trent's gonna be coming in there with this light for his well and there's the three versus two situation per liquid as they try to go for the retake Paulin has to go close to the same line nice going in there's the turn fallen will drop a trend tryna body lost players of liquid but it's a bit killed if he chaotic here on the bomb site and they might not expect at least to come into this position this is so smart of waiting for luminosity to make the move with the bomb and now for loans got a lot of work to do nitros in CT spawn just waiting but his teammate will tell him that beeps have begun bonds down and the flank is coming in woman has absolutely no idea where nitro could be somehow he misses distorting must have move before firing nobody cares about that Molly as well comes in from the back of the last rhyme of the first off we'll go to liquid seventh eighth in favor of the Brazilians and a good comeback there from liquid if the only would have adapted quit go to the mid takes from luminosity they had a very weird opening having those two guys stacked on the beasts site maybe they watched a demo and they saw some sort of child from luminosity because otherwise that play doesn't make any sense at all right as you saying it's quite cool to see liquid came back into this one cuz that at the beginning it was I may be stepping down yeah I mean I think I think trust me at this point before I'd won that the toughest things is getting reset like they did at the start obviously that's why they went down so much to begin with this really hard position to deal with we can also see some pressure coming in at the end there for fallen actually missing that first up short I don't think he normally would ever miss that shot but you can see that the pressure is definitely mounting on these players yeah if they win the pistol round don't loose a force by they will be a 10-8 as T which is decent the problem is luminosity has a great seed to side fur and ethnics probably the best a player some Niraj in the world FNX is just amazing at being aggressive a slope so you've got some work here from simple with some wild wild plays so what it's ready gets two kills a knife this is FBI FBI didn't work out that occasion but hey that from two-seven they came back to make things seven to eight so definitely there's a lot of opportunity to be had for both sides but liquidy will need some strong execute to defeat luminosity game is one of the most drills teams in the game at present very strong individual players as well so we'll see what they can do and I think we saw the primary or going to adrenaline the CT swipe at one would have to imagine a simple it's going to be fully unleashed on the T side of the AWP yeah I mean threat you guys played em a few of plaiting and sing velocity on this map and you had a bit of a hard time so did you feel like you kind of worker did you figure it out against him on how to attack into luminosity CT defense well it's quite easy to take middle against luminosity the problem is when you're trying to rotate back T spawn it's so hard to trade versus FNX and fur in that a slope even though you know they're gonna be aggressive in their apps or slope they're just so on point with their positioning and their cross fires so let's see if liquid have a better answer I think this is gonna be a contact be Quayle just a straight rush because they have got all care lot of liquid slide and absolutely no needs whatsoever straight rushing accessible today for their low mate so did not see either they're going all the way in to the P bombs right and there's nobody there for luminosity they've got three people on short but are no threats for anyone yet this point arranged furs going to be the first man to go down and simple and his teammates can go and take clothes plant positions fallen is gonna go down as well nitrile HECO are falling off his perform even planted yet more frags coming in for the T side just down to FNX now they should here where he is and there we go address with few kills two headshots liquid take the pistol and a great time to take the lead in this match and that looked like a spread out after I sweat from King liquid in this rush to be bomb site and three players short there from luminosity I wouldn't be surprised in liquid just did their homework there and they knew that the luminosity likes to do that play it's funny because it does look like otherwise and maps make these tracks so prosperous be no stop hey works sometimes even in professional level we're gonna see eight eight so here we go the force by coming from luminosity falls on a scout so that's on the course always gonna be dangerous and we'll see that the deagle NC says out there so liquid we need to see a very very solid ante for spy from them and there's no only one Molotov in the hands of a dren who is so in the apps at the moment so what is the plan here for liquid as far as their anti course goes very risky are taking made only with two people as fallen could have easily been in the window they're tagging the first player but luckily for them they got mid control and they should be able to take this round from here because now they can just go for a connector split speaking of connect so you can see at the next infer have a huge crossfire going on and we saw this smoke come in from I think Co t actually on a previous match of Mirage but no one is going up short on this occasion which was a problem last time liquid are gonna go all the way through gaps but again they've got one smoke and no flashes right now and they think they might have been supported by tacko here so he is gonna have a peek but get wait for his teammates to rotate and indeed rotation is coming only to see T's on the site right now there but liquid of being so slow that FNX and fur are making their way in there's 40 seconds left and it seems liquid don't want to commit they're just giving the CT time for if they into the bomb site if ends not it could be the first one in and first thought to go that psycho traded effort to go down as well so could go in liquid favor but he needs to find more fraction running out time to plant the bomb and clean fire the same time sort of deagle and fall in with the scout fallen aids in the shot and he's the last man standing one versus two now one versus one he goes beam headshot it's down to a leash the bombs not even planted yet there are 15 seconds left on the clock and the mp7 picks up he's gonna clutch it for his team he is just about going to do that but really liquid are playing with fire there we see play there from liquid waiting so long after tackle spotted I mean that be episode there were almost four see this actual site when they made the push that is a viable play if you have molotovs because then you can actually motive the entire sites to deny the stat but they just waited in the windows therefore I think at least 10 seconds yeah it's almost like they hesitated about rotating but no map control perhaps not enough time that's dangerous way of playing an answer Yuko and thus creating a strange thing here is that they don't have any models but least they're gonna go for a straight rush and hey you know they're gonna roll pretty well here because they want you stack the rock bomb site attackers gonna go down easily and Al's team that could have kind of alter won this round and they shouldn't even take any damage here but definitely I mean that they could certainly have run into a snack here they didn't take any information across the map though no Molotov to try to clear preemptively clear positions into the side that could have been a little bit scary oh we've seen this before word subscribe but cold is not gonna be a successful as VP where many moons ago no cheeky kill for cold simple has gone down but other than that there's not much going on here for the CT side on there eco but again liquid will need to have better aunty eCos aunty for spies if they wants to beat a team to the level of luminosity Dan otherwise they'll have to go to an anti you go seminar with CLG two very different approaches to vanta eco here for liquid the first round they waited until there were twenty seconds left on the clock and this drone they just went for the straight be rush and going for the straight be rush can actually be effective we're going to do it with us in Jesus extremely hard to hold that side the only problem is you can just run into a beast at all right so you can see leading the troops quitter taking up actually in this match now after that's very tumultuous start and the first hopper can and they keep it going now the buyers up for luminosity even I'll see down on some grenades but perhaps they can be up on the shottsford doing just / things here trying to push the palace they should expect this this guy is so aggressive that's threat set you know they're gonna be doing this but it still it still could be so difficult to stop anyway the players are so damn good but liquid actually abandoning the slope and polish side of the map opting to go towards B once again and B is gonna be where taco is defending an m4 but no grenades could be tough here if attacker to hold this he's got no support as well liquid go for this which looks like they're about to attack who's gonna have to be more than a man to defend this one oh he's gonna jump but the whack-a-mole is not going to happen on this occasion so liquid go charging into Pico holding if like if taco alone cold is in the ladder room coming in from short now is going to get there fast enough looks like oh just trying to waste time for teammates coming but he's gonna go down cold goes down as well is this going to be a safe situation already for luminosity hiko moving to top mid now with fur in Palace effort it's moving away from the sight indeed the CTS are gonna go for the same well liquid go for the hunt Infinix and eco when I have a meeting of the minds of seam towards t-spawn and now liquid I think where the CTS might be saving could go on the charge and it seems that luminosity are interested in giving simple early frags in mid as fallen had the AWP where he went over towards MIT towards a with three players looking into T slope and then putting cold in ladder room to make sure there's no breeze nelligan going on seems to be the way luminosity want to play great decision-making there from liquid once again they knew that they had spent a lot of money on that second round forced by which means they don't have a lot of utility to work with this round and you need utility on that these sites to delay the push for the rotation to come in I don't think taco had a single made that foul so he just went to the back of the be site and he was nothing he could do yeah it's pretty depressing could be in this position there's a lot yes yes I stuff plus that roundup that runs over there simple - up your crowd simple is loving it he needs to be supercharged by these voices got the fans on their feet now we've got a CT time out at the moment livin on T three rounds behind the tea site now this is what we're they wanted or expect it to be and they do indeed have decisions to make here as they have managed to save three guns tankers bought full armor including a helmet which might not be the best idea considering the limited money but seems leaving us t gonna buy around the rifles they have saved and the frustrating thing for a woman officer to know is that liquid show them okay we can just go for the straight B push which means that cold sarah who has to gather place aggressive short he will always have it in the back of his mind that he has to stand close towards B which means he can't gain that map control you can gain from the ventral so it's gonna be really interesting to see if cold Sarah decides to continue to commit towards middle or if they actually got to try to help taco this time there we go some support for luminosity in the crown as well uh what is this fur is a man who is willing to play with almost any gun in the game at close quarters he's picked up an empty mine man zoom out there that's like that's like that's like when you're trying to go through double doors and dust2 and you get blocked by someone I respect the willingness to leave the house of kittens on your top mate alright so the countdown is about to end from this time out we'll see what luminosity have in plan have a few more Nathan had in previous rather for next door has no need whatsoever us will see what they choose to do liquid seem to be just playing a numbers game moving into sites where luminosity will be ill-equipped to deal with the aggression alright so awp onto both sides simple is gonna be or ping for his team again lost me when to admit this time he's going has a good one for a actually and he could be going for a fast pick if someone's trying to get to connector quickly but he's gonna get popped flashing immediately fer coming in to play close again with that oh so glorious mp9 how far will he go those simple has back up a bit and he's just waiting for the CTS to serve themselves looking for that cheap steak liquid is ready for a luminosity having an OP holding aggression from a slope it means they really know that foreigner the next likes to play the position aggressively but it will be liquid actually just taking the bond towards the be amps at the moment it is fallen with you or pin that position so fallen could be in a spot to shut down liquid in this round we'll have to see how that goes the damage that he does or does not do is gonna be so important going into this the first line of defense and here they come the liquid massive is readying themselves abandoned at the mandem are coming but is fallen gonna be able to drop them last one he's gonna miss the first shot I don't think I could afford to do that they're charting on to the pub site now vorlons in so much trouble there's one shot from Poland taking that nitro he's still alive still in the fight a granite is gonna miss the shot as well fallen a cause he still in this ball side he's buying such key time here for luminosity to make the rotation at leas it's gonna win the ball against taco and liquid slowly but surely overwhelming the cipher Paul is still alive where the hell the definites come from at least gonna hit the ground now as he co trays back onto Weapon X absolute madness in the tracer thousand eco what bus is to Berlin gets it done unbelievable defence from the man himself it's Borland perfect play by falling right there not only to get worsen four kills at least three he delayed them so much waited for the rotation I think were three guys on the feast site when they actually went down there with the bomb so full they just want that crown by itself let's see what the money looks like on the CT sides once everyone leaves spawn it's not very good at all liquid at one for rounds from five in the second half air if they are able to take the luminosity done then perhaps that could be a game-winning round for them we'll see how it goes simple of obviously with his signature aggression and again lunacy choosing to abandon mid but the problem is they're putting three people towards a and if liquid choose to keep abusing the be bomb site then luminosity may find themselves too late to adjust as their money again is not in the right place look what a bomb is here the bombs been left in P apps and there's nobody there for liquids for people opting to stand in the middle area for the time being and trying to weaken the defences so I think it's quite clear where their ultimate decisions are it does seem as though you know that's a lot of information gathered by liquid here they can definitely play the game of deduction work out where the defense is but it's the first block boxing that captain hit by Alicia takes the frag onto taco now cold Sinatra's attention towards that short area but where a liquid gonna go they can still go anywhere as far as even Accio concern colt has everything to do by himself this also is going to be so overwhelming right now simple gets the tag onto Cole all my view is Cole is there's nothing he could do that and he's gonna push on forwards and liquid overrun that beep on sight there's nothing luminosity can do in this position they've just got to sit back and hope that liquid allow them to keep their weapons at this point but Gamble's in this game the manasa to went for a three-mile sack on that a sight fallen claim the ticket position Fernet the next playing aggressively being cold or sore tackle completely alone in that vent room it's they really respect the a push there because otherwise I don't think he would have had three people towards that a sight liquid was doing some masterful plays here both teams are trying to hard counter each other and it's not really working out for luminosity they're trying to avoid simple as much as possible to giving up mid but again they're just putting the men the men in the wrong place putting three towards the a sights here but the retakes on V but once the once their defensive to going down there it's pretty much the round over as we're seeing all hiding in pallets if they lose a ten perhaps they can try and go for the retake here but again they need to make adjustments the problem is if they do make them tough in the pot next presence of would be perhaps liquid start mixing things up and going towards a it's a very difficult time here for luminosity with a luminosity should do now is just let form and flavor ticket position our main way the retakes and a and have three rifles playing middle aggressively from short window and connector because you have fast rotations from mid and fallen is a great opera from the ticking position so that would be the optimal setup for them right now conceive Olin is not doing tours ticket he's in fact going towards the bball slide that he has perhaps again heavy challenge the Pacific could take down further but usually the king of that palace position will find himself meeting his demise at the hands of none other than simple as simples teammates now start to clamber their way up the slope into the a bomb site and the oppressive forces found its way into the a site in the name of liquid and simple again he gets another and to frag what the hell once they get liquid completely crush a bomb site and all the momentum is swinging their way this is exactly what I said what if luminosity audacity and liquid mix it up and that's what's happening this is horrible some constellation frags at this point for luminosity but really their money isn't as liquid money is not fantastic either but the rounds are going their way I'm sure they'll be able to pick up that all from simple as well and unleash him in yet more rounds so liquid looking really good for the first game here trying to hunt some of these players down as well fallen must keep that all polite if luminosity want to have a chance in the future rounds at the moment he's got so much value with the incendiary on him as well for grenades kit everything there for fallen good stuff to keep himself alive in this but this is kind of crazy liquid or three rounds away from taking map one if liquid take this series we're gonna see a North American team and if they win that's the second map is - yeah a matte for the luminosity lost versus virtus Pro on earlier today so they might be looking to going to zero there it's it's ridiculous isn't it potentially at the first North American major I mean we don't never see North American teams even in the playoffs they think could be in the grand finals well it's not cool it's too early right now is the liquid definitely looking quite strong at the moment luminosity struggling a little bit let's see if they can adjust in this round force by from luminosity Thomas is all over the shop they've got a reeds of the mountain mates but again they're just giving up mid it's giving it for free to the T's and to see simple just jumping around having a look but there's nobody to engage him here he's gonna have to search deeper to try and find some people to rip in half codes errors playing around the smoke onshore other than that not much going on here for luminosity other than taco being isolated once again sonal it's a lonely cold world over there towards the b-bomb side you've got a trending booster as well so they're trying to find some sneaky angles but again it seems that their target is weakening the beep on sight look at this presence here from the quitting middle is very impressive to be honest from Tekoa that's the last peak Isom get to make in this round sent straight to the bench by simple just four men less standing now for the Brazilian team they start 3 towards a Oh what is this that isn't that is some Solid Snake stuff there from the leaves taking down cold in the window and once again liquid just gonna stroll into the b-bomb site there on segways fan luminosity this is how many times have we seen this where they just get the bomb site and luminosity is so far away that they can't even attempt to retake and there's no chemistry for a luminosity in middle they just like one guy was hidden in window another guy just took a peek by himself there's no that legs yeah yeah they don't talk with each other to go like ok let's pop flash on three one two three let's push middle together instead they're just taking angels one by one versus simple which is on point right now yeah they're basically playing afraid of simple like yeah let's not challenge him because he's good and well he's extremely good so let's it's not challenging just give up the middle of the map it's not working for them yeah and now they're running out of money and around in order to make an adjustment here that the most any of their team has is taco with $400 yeah if your game plan is taking aim jewels against simple I think you need to go back to the drawing board that's not going to happen at least we'll take down fallin that is a really big loss to your once again has been denied and luminosities don't have any money they need it they need a Nico the e---coli liquid go 250 now so beyond map point on on the first map here in this semi-final this is completely unthinkable what is unfolding here in front of our eyes who would have would predicted any of this the thing is because of the way the CTS while luminosity our plane right now if they are shut out of this map and we go to Mattoon you have to wonder what a mental frame of mind will be after getting such a beat down basically playing scared and just getting wits whipped in the corner of the prison yard what a picture there you paint for us James alright well no Kevlar pot from FNX she was able to save in the previous round human lost he need a miracle round here they really desperate need to find a way to win this one to be honest they don't want to let liquid hints about that point of course simple going to try and get his picture Nana goons going on to also be apartments but it won't pan out for him this time 3 molotovs as a plus ya get is true get a golden stuff will they use them chase that is another question does that's the second part this is awesome play from liquid they showed themself in middle they know that the luminosity is really scared right now so limited not to steal things but there might be a lot of people and made the look at this for people don't torch that outside this is perfectly here from the pool he's gonna stop this there's only is this thing don't obey their evacuating the box light the size be evacuated was that something like to sing down and run for the hills run for your life yeah well what I made it in there I mean if we're talking about there I don't know what's going on here it's as if they knew they were coming they could feel the Stampede yeah and they have a phallus they have C subs I mean you can kind of spread out sphere you don't have to go for a full man at Fire Minister and they don't have any grenades to do that it feels as though they maybe even had a missed wreath but they felt like he was gonna BP or something this it's a very strange seems to be looking at at the moment from the side of a luminosity this is not the luminosity who won the hearts of fans over the recent weeks and months this is this is a ghost I mean that what we saw in the Aipom side there looks like luminosity hit hit the button for DEFCON 5 in the wagon let's get out of here guys straight to the chopper straight to that people on site and how do you come back from this luminosity they do have the whole or fallen and cold they need the big guns to come out hip pressure on the big players of luminosity but can they deliver the big result that they need sir double opps no armor on the CT side fallen and coldzera in their birthday suits they are gonna need to do something big here but again they don't seem to really be changing their strategy that's one man alone on the B bomb site we've got taco playing shorts actually and let's see it is called holding an angle towards B but he's gonna need to be immaculate with that he is one of the nastiest fraggers in the game for a time being liquid just waiting for some desperation to come out from luminosity I keep waiting for them to make a mistake we've got nitro and a teammates in the underpass at the moment and hot flashes coming in so that to allow them to take control of connector where Mpho next is trying to make a stand at night without 2 2 hp now and he's going to scurry away again we've got taco just holding a short angle so it still liquid round to impose on luminosity the team now going back to Old Faithful and cold might be in trouble yeah there's a lot of pressure on him he's got to hit these shots we saw following this in this spot before the same spot but but with much more utility to work with here he comes once again the first base is attorneys gonna hit the ground there's cold come the same luminosity with your play unthinkable seeds there on the B apartments they need a huge play without something I'm never gonna see ever again ridiculous stuff that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen it was a noscope as well right yeah I have no words to describe oh my holy okay well anyways this guy they've closed the gap the gap is reasonable now they've been even been able to up buy Kevlar down it's like it's Christmas for a luminosity at the moment and that might be the boost that they needed the boosted confidence that they needed they've put a smoke down in B and put more people towards mid at the moment it looks are they gonna try and make an aggressive adjustment now simple is looking to eat people alive with this awp and see who gets the first right we've got four people in mid for liquid now they're gonna have the boots looking over towards short fat cold zero at holding a superior angle at the moment we've got jump peaks coming in but nobody's going to get connected with still recovering from that in that probably one of the highlights of the year that kind of foreplay that's ridiculous but all in here oh there's the shot a quick flick from connector onto a leash and now liquid they spend a lot of time a lot of grenades in trying to get some work done in middle but they have come up short now it's luminosity instead that have made that pick liquid really need simple to deliver now because some of these Peaks are gonna be dry they don't have any utility to work with and now it's gonna be that play or see a bomb sight and this is what luminosity you're good at stopping they've got two players Coy's problem is they don't have a control of connector where nitro is standing so fallen can easily get picked off leaving his remaining players pitted underneath the palace area he's moving towards connector now that's a very important rotation and it seems that luminosity luminosities Reed might pay off on this occasion cold zero can quickly gets a short psycho is in a good position as well and here come the frack from the CT site three men down for liquid for men down for liquid another round where luminosity haven't lost a single player and the money is wrecked Philippe for liquid luminosity down but not out they've been he says this could be a rocky story getting reps in the corner but now they've got all the money on their side they still got double looks and all the maids and the few escapes perfect decision-making their bike hole he knew that there's no way in hell that they're gonna go for that b-side this round so we just can't I guess in close to middle I can hold be from vent room which was what I did and they I just had a perfect stack towards the day sighs well liquids are going back to Old Faithful themselves they don't have heart much of anything going on at the moment only two players with any armed attackers going to get flashed though and he's playing close with an ak-47 team then it could get nasty one man down two men down there getting sprayed down to God knows it's coming out only simple remains bump down as well three rounds to luminosity that lose a single player we're gonna have four buys until they lose one if they lose one really nicely cold they're actually and those were there was a lot of trouble right there for taco just by getting three kills his his Rico got out of control really fast I mean if those two kills don't coming from cold why see a bomb part there actually and that would have made a big difference because it's gonna be a very weak bite before liquid only for killing players so they probably went for a K or more look at this they have a few smokes and a few flashes but not enough utility to take middle which means yeah they're just gonna go for the straight walk first or having any of it standard aggression coming up from him he's looking to play clothes Palace as well but with three people on the a site the luminosity should have a good hold here but liquid just holding steadfast for the moment simples coming in from the underpass perhaps he can try and get somebody by surprise and I could be the opening that liquid need to take Game one over the line they still have three match points but it's gonna win the duel though now what is the reaction that from liquid they're still holding still they have one smoke one flash and that's about it if they were banking on simple finding a way to make an individual play to get into connector now they have to they have to just force the issue this is not going to be something that they're gonna be very happy to do and you can see why there's no distraction for these CTS fallen is just taking potshots hits both nitro and eco down now and it's just on a tread on ice little tap there but it is small consolation in the face of such a dominant round from the opposition in luminosity luminosity I cannot believe the way that they coming back into this match a liquid will be forced on a corner which piece there's only one round now between luminosity liquid one eight of nine rounds in a row on the second half and they have cooled for the tactical time out so both sides feeling the pressure here but this is also just to put a break in the momentum of the Brazilian side and make them cool down a little bit because they are running pretty hot at the moment still the double ops continue here on to fallen and coldzera they have all the utility in the world and the liquid side they have an average of $3,000 per person they're gonna be at max loss bonus following this round though but again the opportunities starting to run thin for liquid and one thing that surprises me there that maybe you know like two players don't go for it girl ills cuz everyone had a case right and then they had like four grenades between them two smokes and two flashes get a couple of gorillas you can have more utility and so they're just going further away angels against players like in a going into that a site before is ridiculous usually you want one guy so as I said go for the Galil of Tex nine to have a lot of mate so he can go middle block their vision and can tell satyrs deed is okay we can be in middle if you don't buy any mates at all luminosity will just know okay there's no one middle looking just stack a which is exactly what happened all right so how do you think how do you what would you like to see liquid do you know you've seen the all you know the first twenty eight rounds why do you think liquid can take us over the line when they have their by of course I think this would try to do something more a funk you know maybe go for a fast beat split maybe try to go for a plastic vent room control and this the big rotate back and go for a split because it seems like they're getting mid control they're just not utilizing it in the right way so let's see if they're gonna go for the echo now of course they were able to go for a half by usually tend to go for peer to fifties a few mates and go for a B or a execute so probably not gonna take middle this round alright it's time to get back into the match in crowds you need to make valve are and Attendance it and make some noise and told him why we need a North American major every single year all right two rounds for liquid to take the first game otherwise you are headed into overtime we've got deagles we've got flashbangs on the liquid side we know what simple can do with the deagle here and then he is well there wasn't shenanigans attempted in the mid but he's just gonna be running around so simples in full FPL mode it seems gonna take the peak and find out that there's an open short I think they went for that run-through speak that's how they do so often it also on on cashes or you might see that in the next map but yes simple it's pretty pretty ridiculous without deagle the loose cycle need to go down initially and they're having to do this with almost no nays just won a couple flash banks left simplify she got amo with that deagol and what a good story hit with a liquid so far they haven't got any damage done luminosity holding on to these positions fairly well deagle comes out for a simple but he's not quite fast enough on the draw and that's gonna be now just echo and nitro left to get some frags in here get the pressure on luminosity but the not much in the way of expectations for them here at this point of the round yeah and it's not even about them don't monetary impact at the moment because little mercy at two players afford in $10,000 yeah so here we go liquids have won rounds to take this in normal time let your voices be heard guys no AWP on the liquid side so simples Madigan's will be reduced but he is one of the best aka players in North America as well three men coming top mid fill it quit but what is this from the musty I sent some aggression down yeah I mean we talked about funky stuff we might be seeing that from you know luminosity here Nick quit all going short as well so you most you might be making the right plate they can hit the shots there are the aggressive nades and whilst controlling Colton hit the first shot and high trees down oh this is looking quite good Philly velocity but there's a trade coming in from a leash oh and simples down as well this is the Canaveral right now for liquid lubricant city they won't bring this all the way back to your overtime it started with the most unbelievable AWP display I have seen this year from coal can liquid still survivor can they still actually bring this to her to a pick three that is a pretty solid wipeout in the last round of normal time luminosity started like they were asleep but they definitely work it up now all the momentum is with luminosity right now it's huge yeah did they even lose more than two people in those last six rounds I don't think so it's such a crazy ton considering we saw so many times luminosity running out the other bumps are just giving up all sizes if they were just in pure fear of liquid as they stroll in and then such a strong to come into such a strong performance I have no idea what's gonna happen in this overtime well both teams have 60 seconds to figure out what they want to do what they can what they can expect from their other side so it's gonna be mr3 10k which means three rounds per half every player starts with $10,000 we saw live nasty were afforded to ops in probably lost four or five rounds there if they choose to do such a thing in this first round and they lose then they're gonna be in a lot of trouble perhaps I think we're more likely to expect one AWP and perhaps if they can win the round and have an opportunity to pick one up from simple they will do that and so difficult to pull a versus women also came when they're in this mode because they're just changing between being three people mid or two guys aggressive a so it's real a heartful liquid because if they tried to go for the mid play they might have three people there if you try to go for it a simple a execute right away maybe they burn FNX will play aggressive towards the slope so maybe they should try to gather some Intel first towards AC okay is fair enough in it if they are here or are they just relying on fall and playing the ticket booth with all I feel like the adjustment luminosity made was respect they respected luminosity too much and now they've taken that respect away and here we find ourselves 15 to 15 an AWP on too simple an AWP on too cold the luminosity have decided to go double or fallen cold zero are both left of about 3k in the bank if this doesn't go well for them it should be a strong after liquid absolutely would be kicking things off here and are actually going straight down to short so you usually would be seen cold there but now cold is actually back in the B apps with the AWP and he's got a fine angle a very fine angle indeed goes with him too so any force on this side up here throat two guys are very deep towards be probably expecting that be push so might get good cold here for liquid coldzera is susceptible to being traded with the position he's holding but he has to go in for support so it seems lumenocity have planned for that well but again this is another situation where they're playing a long rotation game liquid just waiting and waiting and waiting again everybody has all the utility now and speaking of utility it's starting to come out come out towards the a site but are they committed here seems perhaps they are waiting the for or reaction they're gonna leave to the lurkers and I don't know the drains got the bomb he's moving away from the a site and now he seems to be coming back so I don't know if this is uncertainty or if they're trying to give sound cues of somebody's myth but here we go it seems are gonna be committed to da bomb site here there are three CTS again the two players toward fee are in very deep but the resmoke are going to perhaps for what the plans of liquid and here comes the second execute three men up the team slope for it's gonna get the first rank looking from the Box evidence of a two-man so there are only there's only one play left nitro gets one frag resize 12 HP he's got a lot of work to do here the rotations coming in as well time is off the SAT nice headshot he's not going to find them and that was a very odd wrong by it liquid they used all their utility and then they just waited and they didn't try to go for a double fake because they didn't have a single player in be apps I don't know maybe they have some weird read from some demo but because otherwise I have no idea what they tried to do there Audrina was like the first man rotating away from a in here and he had the bomb so I don't know what the plan was there maybe a miscommunication but here we go the first round goat sodium muscle teen that's an important round again with their investment of double walks and that is a huge win only losing one player so now once again just a slow run slow coming in from liquids and you have a bullet left the bomb by slope players all over the places actually does look like a typical setup to try to get the a attack going the triple pronged attack they could try to secure a man into connector and then rotate back from T spawn and hit the a bombs like hard to see what their success will be and if there'll be other getting entries along the way and when I'll see I'll playing pretty close to connector and there's the flash groover all the class there's a team flash and that's gonna be the frag on to weaponize cold very important kill bear coming in from the shorts as the push is now on the site fallen he has to hit these shots there's the first one but there's still more players it's gonna be simple trying to the bomb pawn here but he's aware that he hasn't got much in the way of cover the smoke is gonna have to do for now and there is the frag from cold once again coming in onto a leash simple antico dynamic you have to get this done simple retreating back to Tetris eco not in a good position there in the corner of the bomb site simple must be on point for the first there's the flick he's gonna miss this time and these luminosity players are getting really close now an eco get his spray in the black attack Oh still more players coming he's not got much in the way of bullets left and there's the Frank bumper liquid will lose this round to a diffuse and I think you've completely Reich change since life liquid is just respecting women also too way too much right now and they're just not hitting their shots simple had three shots I think he would have hit earlier in this match also nitro just ran into CT a with no flash from a teammate yeah two maybe three teammates on the site then one flashes for me just runs into the crosshair and gets absolutely wrecked for it so now luminosity after well at worst arts I've seen ever major I have a two round leaves and liquid might go 0-3 if they don't get their heads back into the game finally enough look at the economy they've only got three rifles it seems it might be a fast B play again limited utility here they might want to go in as far as possible taco coming in for support with the right click fresh which could cause huge problems for liquid even if cold goes down here this is a really sick setup actually I mean they're gonna be really distracted by cold coal can fall away and there's still a player hiding here with a pop flash in hand so I'm really afraid here but actually they're gonna go forward slip it sending the incendiaries looks like they're feeling the push coming although there's no rotation and they'd shouldn't hit anything I don't think and it feels as if you know obviously we have all the information but if only they'd waited then it looks like they're gonna get the push anyway even come all the players taco all noise we go down straight away team fright coming in close is in an awful position with this pop oh this is the most open finally gets it they didn't know he was sad they still are scrambling on the bomb site and Lee's will finally take him down two buses to make their the one versus two hiko everything on his shoulders gesture 101 that's falling down now the one-on-one against FNX FICO's scanning around he doesn't know where he is just yet he could be absolutely anywhere that's the spot still plenty of time for he could have play with much more of this team and there's gonna be f of X three rounds there in the first half of the overtime put luminosity lick would have a hell of a job getting back into this one luminosity just havin we just have the perfect lead right now and look at this kill my wife now I'm not a good sign therefore with food and I said a little bit oxygen to just stack the right side sights every single time they knew that there was no way we always going to go for the aah taking a deep peace towards the attacker playing aggressive there in the window and yeah they just I mean we're surprised that even go so one we won in here three map points for luminosity what a turnaround this is and you can see that mentally liquid are not in the greatest of places right now everything needed Dave the human loudspeaker they need you now Dave but they get up and make some noise for liquids it's one minute for these teams to think about what they want to do here you can see liquid having a chat but again now the onus is on luminosity they're gonna be on the T side they're gonna be able to dictate the pace if liquid trying to do something aggressive it's going to be a risk which perhaps they can't afford if they lose one round that's a game luminosity it's probably expecting double a double up setup here from liquid so let's see how they will try to punish that usually you just want to try to go for an a execute with the wall of smokes so or either you can actually go mid as long as you just keep smoking everything but I think oh I wouldn't be surprised if women officers he just goes for a simple a execute air because liquid is going to go for the double sniper otherwise I'm the first prize it's actually less risky for liquid to go for double log than it was for the velocity because liquid now or in a situation where if they lose one round then they're done so might as well go all in basically yes am i given by an unordered Eric just gonna say we seen it be so effective from the ticket booth position if there's an a head it's usually incredibly good hey we saw it get right with some I mean it's different Matt but showing the power of the auto sniper earlier in the tournament with an ace actually I think it was no negev a bit sad well here we go my turn the leaves going to avoid the helmets they know that the AKS are coming no or ponte de leme must decide perhaps looking for a play which requires the whole team to be as dynamic as possible so we'll see what they have in store as you can see the bomb is over towards t slope three liquid players some would say again you've got lighter Elise playing close to that smoke very aggressive indeed just as you might see from Ferrand code seems that it's going to be a straight-up split from diversity they have control of mid at the moment we've got a dren he's gonna be looking towards connector and towards Palace but he's just about to get smoked off from connector there's nobody on short for liquid at the moment so luminosity will move into connector for free if if Taku actually died there that's the push came to slope the attacker has the bomb now it turns pretty key here because right now they're splitting all of these two players who have pushed close to the slope liquid are gonna have a lot of trouble here there's three cracks in the road there for luminosity what a liquid gonna do it's just he cone simple on the rotation there's simple the first crack he could get one as well two versus three non the bond still needs to be planted so a lot of time to try to engineer this retake but simple is dead and that leaves everything to hiko again he is the man you want in this position but one versus three this is for everything this is for the map right now the eco making its way around the smoke it is family he will spot taco but that's in luminosity with a comeback from 1510 an amazing play from Cole with the AWP all the way back into overtime into a victory ten rounds in a role for a luminosity fifty nine to nineteen fifteen I have no idea how they managed to pull that off but really if they have lost out rounds I've lost that map the way things were going I can't imagine what state they would have been in going into second one benign fulfill that they're going to be absolutely supercharged they'd feel like they deserve this they feel like it's their destiny to go and take this wine or a lot of liquids that's so much opportunity so much opportunity to close it out and they just weren't able to do it the overall great way from liquid they just like the experience I guess just close this match out because from time to time they had excellent struck calling us achieve they make really good decision making punishing taco and the knew they didn't have any utility on Berkeley site but after call Sarah get that yeah the most ridiculous round maybe ever yeah yeah that's considering the considering where it happens yeah at the major and a humongous match jumping penetration tumor or and the thing is is that please is there a god I mean if he doesn't get that they likely lose around and that's it boom but of course you know this is not one and not one ends on liquid I'll still in this of course that was just a map number one but it is time for a quick break see you back here in a few minutes they know me as the hatchet mushroom they know me from the highlights they see they know me from the matches they watch they talk about my want ups and I think for me aiming is so easy I just go into a match and that's it but my aim it comes from more than just the game for me aim it is about precision this part people don't see this part it does not show up in highlights when I sit down to play everything already is a part of me eg [ __ ] we are back folks a crazy map one here our last semifinals liquid taking on luminosity and you know it was rolling the crowd was rolling liquid was rolling but luminosity said you know what that's enough of this they literally shut this arena down and you know ten straight rounds his threat said straight into overtime no questions in overtime a dominating end of that game by luminosity no doubt yeah I thought you turned in a fred durst here's the thing this is what happened he's okay like there is no getting away Team Liquid brilliantly played out on the skin this is an amazing performance this is luminosities man don't forget that right there and they're incredible on this map so the team liquid to get to match point and have rounds to play with incredible performance five match points right but this is the difference between teams that can win championships teams that know how to grind up series this is why luminosity has only lost an RV infinitely in series and Team Liquid unfortunately it was there for them it was there for them they have to forget about that because they choked they lost ten rounds in a row right and in regulation they only got three kills before it went to ot they just went missing they just couldn't get over the finish line now that's about luminosity being very very good okay but it's also about Team Liquid choking for real yeah I don't know if I'd call it a joke but definitely luminosity their took pleasure in the fact that they just taught liquid the lesson they just learned in katowice against fnatic a few weeks ago having that kind of a lead letting it slip away to a more experienced a stronger team all around that was a that was a really nice comeback and you could see the beginning of this game look what does what we and then the Americas we like to call it screaming they were a little bit you know a little bit out there you know a little bit not not very organized and they they know going up against luminosity if you're gonna try and play that strategic game as liquid by the way like as you mentioned you know as you know an experienced in-game leader you're gonna lose that battle you're gonna lose it especially on a map like Mirage so strong for luminosity so they went in and they had a different game plan and they made luminosity played that way right up until cold with that one round ruined everything just stops alone we're gonna show that to you exactly that was absolutely amazing and before that the b-side seemed to be liquids Oh quite a bit right and then yeah just crazy stuff well I mean obviously I was really impressed with liquids performers from this map especially in the first half after being down 7 1 or 7 2 they managed to to come back and win general senses I think it was pretty obvious the flaws they have also on this map they did a great job early on in the second half utilizing the fact that since luminosity for spot they didn't have a lot of grenades they you know use their numbers push towards the site as the unit got the trade kills and we're winning rounds and luminosity was kind of shooting themselves in the foot they're constantly forced buying time and time again because foreign would save an AWP they would save an extra rifle and then you know other three players will buy an SMG and and pistols and they couldn't defend with just that right so as soon as they got that that double AWP setup they got all of their grenades and everything that's when they started rolling and that's when liquid hit a brick wall they didn't have a counter to that basically and it's simply because they don't play the map as often yeah and one of those brick walls you mentioned earlier was fallen let's take a peek at his around 20 I believe I've actually fallen early on in this game all of luminosity really seemed to like no not even if not even a joke they seem to be thrown up entirely by this crowd by the noise fallen was missing some very easy shots that we see him hit time and time again now this round was incredible because once he's missing these shots all he does is stay alive I mean this is such a beast play from fallen so intelligent in a typical spot just I mean not over peeking not committing anything smoking softball and hiding and waiting for the rotates to come in and liquid never got aggressive this is one of the rare rounds before that comeback started that liquid just never got aggressive towards fallen to clear him out of that position yeah and this is one of the things that's truly great about falling you know I've said this a lot it's purchased physically with your Co amnesia good you can see there he's whipping all over the place it's his movement and his intelligence used the terrain he's bobbing he's weaving he's like neo in the matrix he manages to stay alive on the side right to be doing that and then he starts making the kills and he starts landing shots and I grew Moses I think teamliquid probably should have gone a bit more aggressive soon as that smoke was down though fallen knew how to use it to his advantage and that's true experience showing that yeah and it's just experience show for the whole team just that that kind of a comeback liquids gonna have to learn learn that I mean this is how it happens right the hard way yeah and just some overall highlights of them yeah it's really brutal here's the thing Team Liquid and luminosity do have their did this history I think it was at RG Emma I think was where they had a contentious series as well the team where there was some back-and-forth there and the power outage in one of the pcs and then a photographer leant over and led some pubs and then of course you know obviously or everything we've taught about was simple so this is Team Liquid oh really fired up for this but this is just heartbreak a blue tart break deploy your way back into this one it get into a lead to even think way I'm just gonna style on you yeah just megabytes and lost lots of nonsense like that like to be able to have that level of confidence and get yourself into a lead and then to lose in that manner with ten straight rounds that's that that breaks the back here and you've got to go into a second map you're picking and no manner it's just it's heartbreak it's heartbreaking through the team liquid bands heartbreak with you on that team look good teamwork that was their map to lose yeah well here's the key thing that liquid needs are on talk about or hopefully it talked about cuz they're already getting back on stage as you can hear the cheers but we always knew Morel is not very likely now that was an incredible performance they almost stole it it's really a bummer that they didn't but if they focus on the fact that they gave that up that they joked at the end they're gonna lose this next map as well so hopefully they went out there and they're like guys this is a map that's it's one of luminosities best they are their world beaters on this map and we just took them to the limit we got them into overtime we know we can match up with them we know we can we can battle strong so just focus on those positives a leash welcome to the big stage that was a sick map from him oh yeah definitely definitely and I think we exist in a crazy alternate timeline as well cuz I think you might have to start accepting that GB James is a good coach and I never thought let's say that on a broadcast doses he's doing what is truly a nightmare no no it's like I've never seen Richard just flip like that it's a sellout mode and telly so as you mentioned that was luminosities pick now again very squeaky but then dominant performance if you said almost stole by liquid let's talk about cash now other than them having to mentally reset that they maybe gave that one away what's liquid got to do and what is luminosity after you in that sets on liquids choice yeah well I mean we saw them have this great performance a great comeback again to CLG we know they can play this map we know they've got tips and tricks and all these little running boosts and everything like that and that was again all based around simple unfortunately here the worry is simple is the player that you need to be on point he's the talisman here okay and all of their tactics on cash were based around putting them in these positions where we can use the orb make these Peaks make these picks but now he's just gone missing in in ten rounds where he really needed you step up and drag his team over the finish line and we know he's got problems with his temperament so where do we go from here if your entire strategy is placed around one player going ham and he's having a crisis of confidence I don't know doesn't bode well I think they're relying on him to go crazy on mirage on cash a little bit more comfortable on this map obviously it's been a favor for them for a while the one player who's got to step up and it's not even simple it's nitro who's been quiet for a lot of this German quiet first map but this is one that he's had success on this is like it this is the map he's known for you know most of his most of his top-tier performances against the best teams in the world happened on cash so he's the player who's got to come alive here for me and also a Minnesota picked to start st on this map so maybe that's also a chance for liquid together get off to a good start on the city side I feel that when it comes to the second half when liquid goes to the T side it's going to be a you know a problem for them that luminosity is really good that's using the double AWP celebi we just saw on mirage it's called zero and fall and they can do this exact same thing on cash with fallen towards being called zero towards they I think that the good thing on the other hand is that unlike cobblestone or overpass it's much easier to improvise on a map like cash they can do similar things they did on on Mirage in general I actually think the most important player on this map for liquid is hiko because even when you look at how they play around their t sides when they go for that a smoke threat or whatever he's the last player going in and he had some amazing clutches in his career from those who dream of manly threes and so on he had that crazy one we v even tec-9 around so is he also seems to be really comfortable playing from from that position alright thank you very much in about any last thoughts it's just not luminosity are mortal on this map so if Team Liquid can confer kiss just a little bit and sort of forget about what just happened and maybe the room in a chance but I just I look at what's happening with luminosity now and that their blood is of you know they're in that huddle and when they get into that zone it's it's scary so it's all a lot of team looking coming in alright thank you very much gentlemen so it is do-or-die time for Team Liquid luminosity is one map away from meeting Navi in the grand finals here at the MLT major championship come back after the break let's see who wins it almost winning the map choice of the luminosity but now we are on to catch this is the map that liquid shows this is a map where we've often seen it's a really interesting thing some liquid quite a forward-thinking team on cash especially where North America is concerned so they know they came close they know it was luminosity who were favored to win that last run we did see some good performances from liquid as well hopefully they can bring that into their peers this map actually favors liquid ass this is probably luminosity is worse mat they don't play the stew at all and although the six maps they actually play cash isn't math we played at least so if a liquid wants to win a map it's gonna be cash but the biggest problem is the next stone right right their cobblestones gonna be very interesting pull it for let's talk about call so you know if we get those then we can hold up and on for a while and I mean we're gonna be kicking this off this one off very very soon all right Columbus make some noise map to here in the semi-finals liquid versus luminosity luminosity are going to be starting on the T sides and again this is I think I don't know if their teeth are stronger than their TTT to time this one again it is not their strongest map by any means so we have liquid you've opted for to defuse kits again and they're gonna stack for people live it towards beam site so it looks like they're gonna have another hard read on luminosity but it's not gonna pay off on this occasion this is actually this is the bottle strat then because I mentioned before so fall in that people play retake from car and you can't his quickie door open which means you can rush the site and they have no idea what's going on bombs being plotted straight away they've obviously adjusted this since all of them ice to flank them a few weeks ago so you've got coldzera in the vent area and it's gonna flex ETS who are all rotating into mid and car but let's see if they have those set retake smokes because there's a lot of teams that started to do that where they can further smoke straight on the bomb so the t's haven't run out from their post plant positions to try to stop at the quick defuse with those kits in the smoke but look at cold this lurk is absolutely unreal now the pressures on from behind adrenalin try yes perhaps as now liquid stormed the bomb site is simple hiko nitro starting to go for it with winning ways starting to get that deep use underway home he gets a couple kills three kills but what does it matter deep fuse goes to a liquid the Stars and Stripes get off on the right foot there's a good play by leaving Asti a liquid actually a team who very very very commonly go for an a retake pistol round I've done that for four months maybe even over a year so nice read by luminosity but didn't pay off liquid off to a good start yeah the biggest problem from the luminosity there was they they knew they were gonna go for the retake but they didn't try to push car because they know the liquid will have those two smokes and they're gonna go for that power defuse and they did and it works because they only had two guys on that side they kept they kept one guy just standing a default I wondered like that that's not a good post plot position so they've tweaked it seems it could be tweaked some more the Lib Milty guys have not gone for the force for here a bit of an echo just some pistol deagle on too cold it's got triple UMP double mp7 on the liquid side yeah that tells me that they were very afraid that luminosity would actually force up completely in this round they wanted to make sure they had the utility to the order because the UV now you would see a lot of farmers or maybe even some m4 sand the spot like this because you're expecting the aks in the following round so it seems like liquid a plane is really safe by making sure that they have max utility in this round even though now as we can see the aks gonna come out next round so could be quite hard in the next couple rounds for liquid even if they just end up winning them again we're in a situation where this weekly push would come in and he went here then but closer has been seen coldzera has been taken down got fallen by the forklift but again no armor so these players should get cut to ribbons by the CT side was slowly gonna come in slow and careful it will be they've got motor Haiti for this as well nice stop by nitro they're more people to find nitro has gone down but again it should be far in liquids favor and the next Last Man Standing he's in the thorn Ithorian literally going to be closed simples playing close actually uses to being could've been one shot there so he's lucky to get away of that very risky playing unless he if he died that would have been completely unnecessary but all in all awesome round there from liquor going for that a retake I really like the teams when teams to do that versus that low by or force by because it's really hard to defend versus tec-9 on the side but it's really easy to actually retake the site because it's almost impossible to hold its with pistols so just a very simple round there for liquid and it's completely fine to give them the clamps yeah we'll see a little order grenades now because of luminosity really bolstering that economy with two plants in the first two rounds and now finally getting the big buy up falling on the AWP but it goes my true there support fast can he beat taka yes he will fast advantage here for liquid and the nastya despite having some presence and a main for players of liquid towards that a bomb site makes it quite strongly fortified although now as time goes on we'll start to see a trend moving towards the CT connector perhaps liquid you know trying to figure out what's going on trying to get some information plays onto the map because they don't know Illuminati is doing just now yeah the timing FNX did run all the way through mid and has run all the way back and I tried a strong position in the door but liquid are completely rotating out of the a bomb site are they comfortable playing the retake position again it seems they are as they have control everywhere else even Asti slowly creeping ever edging forward FNX on AWP as he's only got 11 HP let's see if they can make it on to the site full and has the bomb in main which means it needs across look at moving back now we've got the maze coming into the teeth but not committing just yet see still simple still on a UMP here still to ups on that's the liquid side if they were to win this round I'd be a huge deal economically good up that the assault coming into the cypher new ones II can't quite make their way in and now liquid up their full attention here every single player is on the safe on-site coldzera able to take down simple by the forklift looking for the second practice spray is good but Nico's gonna drop him now down the Fallen as he's defending alone without bomb ticking away looking for the first frag back he could with his drape silence he fallen with a pistol and liquid will win this round after keeping the umps in this so their economy's going to be in a pretty good spot to be honest very dynamic player from liquid has started off having him a stack and then they fell back took the mid control again and then they just went for the a retake so just changing the play doing the round and it's a really really good approach to the suicide of cash a drone strikes on the AWP so it seems they are looking for a less volatile CT up as the primary up on the CT side and then they will just launch simple from the cannon on the T side to do as simple does luminosity going for a bit of a buy here to half why they're leaving two to three K in the bank but they have got many sets of Kevlar and a few needs as well moving over towards the B bomb so I it seems we might have a bit of a fake coming in towards a but there's a two-man push the liquid note it's not gonna be a false back here that said they are rotating over there so there's only hiko on the b bomb site on his own and here comes to push surely from the tease with the timing there's some quite a few smokes here as well Philemon OC so they can already cut off he co from any help he Co is going to be alone here there's the first snap gets the headshot on fallen and there's the phone as well all three players who luminosity investing themselves and taking that bomb site away from hiko but he had other ideas tako lost man standing not much ready to do this position and liquid with their clean fourth round this is a fantastic star from the liquid side look at their economy not right now they can almost buy rounds on the T side to try to go for that mid aggression just try to go for the fast mid take so maybe they will go for the fastest seven look old Loomis Steve's style on cash is quite sloppiness strongest map has definitely changed the recent month old is a guy who is what incapable of going for solo takes of mid with two flashes and a smoke but I haven't seen Ephraim from in this entire tournament yet got fallen boosted up looking towards connector where Audrina is standing gone for the safe smoke to Waterman and he's choosing to jump where his arc will avoid being stalked by fallen or attackers gonna get thinked through the door so that's not going to be very helpful for him he's setting up I think to put a faucet oak on to court let's see what the intention is the bombs no any a at the moment so it may be to try and pull a rotation from the liquid side and indeed a trend has moved towards a to support his team there'll be three plays over there falling still on the boost looking around in mid and he's setting up a smoke for the connector area he's actually found his way how this is sneaking straight through the smoke very sneaky stuff indeed from psycho I don't know that he's spotted a leash on the boost this is actually a massive play potential for Alicia he can stave the round the liquid there's the first crack no silencer they're announcing himself can't quite finish off taco great response coming in from quad although tacos down to 3 HP giving a liquid of chances elite in retaking this there's the incendiaries gonna with that one ingo simple up the ladder fallen taking down a Trent this is looking very hard right now for liquid to get in here fallen they're whipping a shot there's the second note now again as we've seen so many times before it's down to hiko but against four is it really possible we do have a few players quite tagged up here from luminosity so he co definitely not going down without a fight oh well there's the first pots right he go gets a double there's still two players left they got no help on them thirteen and three hiko creeping around the site now there's still time it's all my goodness the clean sheet remains for liquid luminosity yet to find around he Co is the clutch gods of countess right surely and the word for love like that was just perfect way they're getting those to purchase their own forklift from them when simple gets out of his chair to grab your hand you know you've got something good seriously you fought cold versus foreskin well he co I think that's a pretty good contender then we're into round six eco is 11 for zero right now he is smurfing that this is so sick luminosity moving towards the eighth site they have another bike coming in that lady's not gonna help fur 263 HP nitro is the lone soldier towards a at the moment and it could be a fast play trauma luminosity first made its way over towards forklift thanks we're not gonna go through yet council dressed leaders gone down night for taking fur blind trades coming in three versus three the CTS going for the retail but a flex coming in to put goes down man advantage now let's not make things really awkward for the CT Pico could he be clutching it again Adreno on the car of the AWP down to two versus two we've got a crossfire for the site has fallen can cover one side for his teammate taco you will have to look towards C teams the trend now moving up with his teammate they've got a smoke down to avoid the main angle let's have a look we've got fallen he's been smoked off in Maine as well so this it's really hard to Tucker but a bomb is taking both players have defuse kits hiko looking for the last player can his team cover him while he goes for this defuse and Brendan in the mutual coming in but a two man spray down the garden hose and liquid have been weeded outs they are in a very good position those who forced women off the team to a lot of eCos home died of well I think so look at the utility and luminosity right now what can he do this round from the highlight as well like how liquid looked at the end of the last map you know losing around ten hours in a row so completely deflated I mean this liquid coming into the first half here on map to is completely different this is so great to see them back Rudi back into this and spirit and we're gonna have a quick play into mid coming in from the luminosity Cynthia's close they spotted him they all sprang for the smoke a little bit as simple could be in for some flags here its teammates keep distracting him and indeed but the track serves good simple taking down FNX with a trait of violent take calls getting three two players left a four liquid now though as they try to figure out what luminosities game plan is there's still so much time left in the round those are really crucial tracks because look where the bomb is it's under the boost in midnight red position is really important but it doesn't know how important here it is looking over towards a that could have been a disaster for luminosity hiko's moving towards mid as well and again the bomb is still stuck on taco under the booths he needs to cross and if he comes out at the right time then he could win the round for his team not going to be the case play but a bomb has been spotted my turn knows what's up now we've got a 2 vs. 1 but again it needs to cross he doesn't know where the second player is taco still need to cross this is a very tight situation here Knights were looking towards short taco not willing to peek here the smoke goes down that he's going to try and force tacos hand shoulder peeking but wait I'm telling the to bad throwdown no he can't another ran for luminosity and expensive round for both teams and I was so smart by night Royce well smoking off fallen I don't know how he was so sure that it was actually their luminosities did a smart thing they knew if they just waited nice to had to worry about even more angles so but for some reason Nitro just knew that fallen was gonna be in that position he smoked him off got the kill on taco but a very very close a battle there versus falling in there this is so crazy how back-and-forth this one has been me clutches all over the place two rounds now for luminosity as they finally forced liquid to an eco we will get a quick pop there from fo next in middle zoomin Asti expand but looks like it's pretty solid so far getting the pics across the map likely to see luminosity sought to bring themselves together as a unit soon to get a definitive push onto a bomb site so good anti-eco so far my troponin let's try and get good job but I forget it's a Kay back out in time Allegiant with a 1vs1 jewel so luminosity very comfortable at the moment again he chose the last man standing and this is the famous position where we've seen so many fast head shots in in default there's no choice almost but to have a close-quarters engagement here unless you have the molotovs but it's not gonna work out this time it is an echo from liquid so you're not gonna be too concerned looking at the five round liquid of one four of them have been by diffuse which is a bit crazy so liquid back on the bye we'll see how much utility they have it's going to be a bit limited on some place he co just with a Molotov and a smoke grenade simple with nothing but a m4 and armor so let's see if flickered will try perhaps to go for an aggressive push through a main or something like that try and get more map control due to their limited utility they've got three people headed over towards the a site at the moment one two woods B and one passively towards mid can see the luminosity having a bit of a conga line going towards the squeaky door so it seems they may want to shot liquid out this round quickly and if you have three players towards that a sight you need to be aggressive and seems like they're very plasma Wow water defense there the setup was on point he Connally used the one-two punch through plays dead for luminosity two players trying to make this work now to put the pomace on the on the site how can i reclaim it head turn and Nico still standing large and in charge on at a site and even off the are shut down off the a little bit of momentum there way and still a little bit of money left to get another buy-in but in a liquid stand to break them here but I said because money is not very good either so this is a very pivotal moment in this early in the early days of cash it and the trend continues in this match where the teams just stacked sites without any information and they seem to stack the right sides very often there's a great play there from liquid even though usually you want to be aggressive on that a side if you play put three people there there we go who's got to be a fast mid take cold coming in there are many liquid players here oh this is gonna be a war of attrition one man down for each side no pushing through he's gonna take down a dren and the numbers in blue are falling all the way down to none other than the man with a plan who can hear Koba is this going to be a bit insurmountable for him it's a one versus three cold is towards event which means that he could get flanked very quickly here with the raining to luminosity players over towards the fight and there we go and be a in the house but he's got two more to find forty seconds on the clock he's got more than enough time to do it but he doesn't have a kiss the money was limited so he's gonna have to find these frags quickly luminously having two players both in main and he could have so many places to check that he might not have enough time to do it the bombs completely exposed as well trying to fake his worthless here because these two against one this might be one class too far Tyco gonna get getting a bit of a spray down but the time has passed too much already on Molotov as well damage will be done but the round will go the way of luminosity the gap closes to - that's so a horrible liquid they had the perfect counter to a luminosity to rhythm luminosity went for the first mid take liquid had three members in mid and luminosity still wins to trade so it's gonna be a pretty tough tyres they have to go for the Eco but at least now he kills able to pick up an a key at the end of the round so he can really keep the pressure up on luminosity and I mean their money's not very good it's gonna go very far in a lots a lot of value for liquid to actually pick up a few kills it and so she see ya think okay they didn't go for the full force finds within two K on each player as far Smith's a coming in from liquid just the two players close there and simples actually gonna go through dropped immediately by none other than fallen in game leader of luminosity now you can all see just playing it passive waiting for liquid to make more aggressive moves that's a liquid now falling back a little bit and not giving any easy frag still you manasa T eco no tremor the only two players with armor in this round so I can expect eco to try and rotate that a K as much as possible you can see cold is just lurking outside the pea bomb site now in a previous run we saw from full ins position and once I've come into the event where Eligius standing and normally at something virtus pro would do and they'd have snack standing outside be to punish elite for example for exiting the vent we're not seeing that from luminosity at the moment and they've tried to use that to suggest a fake towards B in previous round and if they had a lurker there then perhaps that would make that a little bit stronger but here we go still there's a Molotov on the slide but it's gonna be the close quarters engagements gonna pay off in this occasion but again liquid have three there all the remaining players over toward B bomb site including eco with that ak-47 our luminosity have 35 seconds left on the clock didn't rehab they don't really have anybody over towards sale which means that they're probably gonna move in towards the stack how much damage can he co do here he's on half HP at the moment and here we go they're starting to move in but they're moving in in number so the team should be up to trade worst-case scenario Dan goes nitro kickers gonna take one can he take a second one no he can it's just a trend now versus free he will soon be dispatch dog and luminosity close the gap tor warning that was a really crazy situation I mean they kind of luminosity didn't leave themselves of any time to properly understand where where the play was gonna be for for liquid it so she's super smart for liquid after showing all the players in mid to then say okay let's just try and just go and stack the Sakai site now yes very risky play there ago because if luminosity have if they have one Molotov they can just flush them up from the side and let's see if luminosity if people will go for the fast me to play here again five Molly's on the T side of Miss occasion which is a lot better good improvement we'll see if they can survive this round about taking too much damage all thing is going rod then we should be tied up here so we are looking at likely six rounds on the T site here for luminosity not too shabby considering it's not their best map we've got a push coming into a main for the CTS three CTS coming in bit of wall banging going on well I think I've seen something here is having a quick look and leaves as close the gap got a teammate running distraction that simple Elise will hold the angle bit of a blind spot but evolve survival for simple gets taken down as well good start to fully Manasa T a few creative bait plays they're coming out from Team Liquid just trying to get a lot done with very little it's very difficult but actually that's their nature and a drench something out picking up a couple kills three players for luminosity though with all with rifles and a few grenades left as well for them to work on a bomb site and they're gonna go into this age site it's like you understand with the dreadful liquid it now he will go down as well so six six so even all ste tying things up here in the first half although you know how do you feel about how liquid are doing on the rounds at the moment I think they have a the right idea I think they should try to do the three-man mid take again last time they did that luminosity went for the fascinate take liquid should win that rounds of this you just keep trying to take mid control and just go for the a retake if women also decide to go away you can even go for the boosts and flank let me figure we have a change and that changes that simple is offing it could be based on spawn he's headed over towards the be bomb site he does have support there so I'm not playing solo it like you might see from other offers smoked off his initial angle he will change it up but the Molotov were forcing away from that as well very nice play from luminosity Authority min deed it's actually in the hands of for me to run towards the door he's trying to pick from the door was the toxic barrels and short or highway anything if he's actually spotted here they're gonna see where the bomb is and it's already pretty much poor players for liquid by the safe on the site and fallens gonna go down simple will win the battle all the time through the door as well this is looking quite good surely not simple staring into a main and he saw the grenades he knows what's up right now and this is going to be an interesting spot for luminosity because I hey they still have some time but do they keep committing towards this a bomb site they don't have any map control anywhere off so they will feel compelled to go for the fish here they're still and minutes on the clock simples got the high ground here this is an angle that Peter also likes to take because if people are going to the pre-fire angles then I'm not gonna take you they're not gonna expect you to be there but he's off the angle leaves will stop the push from the door and there are many teens running through smoke now there's smoke all over the place who's gonna win this it's gonna be a lot of variance here we need some flashes Rudy smokes as well at least goes down but it's still simple alive we've got a playoff on quad for the CTS taco is left 20 seconds on the clock there was a player forklift so taco may be dispatched off soon so many angles to find and inside we're gonna see a pop-up in this round we're not even gonna see any more friends and we velocity liquid take the lead once more surviving with four players as well and I don't know if it would ask what a demo of luminosity and they know that they just tend to go towards that a psyched everything around because once again the liquid left only one guy on the B side all along having all that a side with simple without off so they yeah they just have a good riddle livin on to right now and it's quite cool to see simple hitting some shots again as well deftly gonna give him some confidence and confidence running force with the AWP we know how key he is for the liquid side with that all and once again luminosity signed the file in towards a minute my turn with a quick spot there he was and he's it gonna fall back with an OG back to forklift he's got the support there as we can see with a leash on the bombsite luminosity with a couple of tec-9 if you to get a fast pace here into the a bomb site it would see Chiang and it could hold this one though with a fast headshot on tonight row they might be in some trouble Adreno able to trade onto fur but he's gonna go down things looking quite strained right now for liquid but Ali's coming back in holding down the door position providing that threat of a flank through the door simple now with the maids as well tossing them in taco gonna try to stop the plank from coming through that door Oh simple what is this what is hot enough is he trying to do that leaving it all to a leash and he Co you can be able to take down one frank time ticking away on that bomb players in the smoke this is absolute chaos right now Nikko taking down one that's just pullin who remains he lead especially gonna go down to him to tec-9s out at the moment he gets it though what a key route that you go to Klutch once again three kills for him and what a back-and-forth around there I like to move there from simple going topping that bomb but I think you didn't want to go for the actual full defuse you just wanted to force the luminosity players out of position and get great pleasure in them thereby hiko having only ten HP EFI so many people pushed through smoke in that round that could have gone either way that was absolutely absurd but here we go round lead for liquids double orbs for liquid as well so we have a dren who is over towards mid and simple who is looking over towards be apps and there we go f of X is gonna be the first one to go but simple it's gonna have a lot of people coming his way here oh no let's smoke nade has been denied there that is a problem with throwing nades from that position you need someone to hold an angle the push is going to come in anyway we've got counts matches coming in simple it needs quite more French here to hiko's coming into support and this push from the velocity is failing on in front nine to six the half will end liquid with a three round lead hiko homies a real dad what a crazy read there again from liquid actually having simple in that position in the event room and I mean of course if he's gonna hit that short as well that is some really sick stuff I mean it seems as though liquid have always been a step ahead on understanding what's kind of setups to use if you're looking fantastic there again a nine six squirrel wine going into the TSI it's very very decent score line especially considering cash has been a very t cited map recent left think we have seen a lot of 12 three score lines I don't remember which game it was but I remember the game where the T's were up 12 3 and they still lost again the problem that happened there was I think if you saw in the previous round my simple was in be apps he sorry when he was in checkers luminous team threw a Molotov to stop him from peeking after he smirked the initial angle I think they tried to do the same thing there and messed up the Molotov so and thought he was safe but the Molotov was in the wrong place which allowed simple to get the frag there that was the problem because I thought it would be it would be unusual for luminosity to allow someone to to punish them like that obviously the Molotov was the issue yeah because it's a very easy pick to get from the left side there of checkers with all and a very standard play as you said just smoking up the first opening molotoving checkers they can push towards the headshot box and then you can either go into checkers or you can fall back the thing is to see just don't know so that's why it's very popular to do that would it be surprised to see single player from liquid I declined to say that Eco is twenty four four five nice after one half after one half is twenty four for fire if he would continue this trend into fifteen or thirty rounds he would have almost 50 that is on basis 7mm VP starts this guy's got all the starts well this is the pick of liquids and here they are on the T fired limitlessly with six rounds if liquid win this pistol they will be in very good stead where's the home crowd I can't hear you do you want three-match people all right let's see if liquid have the tools to do the job we've got four kevlars on the T side hiko's gonna be the nade man lumenocity going before five Kevlar which is to start different to their doubled the fuse kit we see from liquid this is classy will see the booster on but oh this is also good count to play we'll see both cold and ethnics pushing the door and they're gonna find the back of this mid push before it can actually happen putting the pressure on picking up a frag on tecnico who had all the grenades as well not sure will actually pick one of those names up but this pressure here for luminosity is really great actually getting the frags as well and you can see liquid sort of Parlin to deny them and they will get the trade frags back for Newton Ostia blown up the initial plan that was liquid pistol round and they're gonna have to adapt on the fly they wanted to charge the slight Billy simple had to go back and pick up the bomb he's done so but it's a bit funneled through the squeaky door that smoke will definitely help but the bomb sights still in the control of the CTS we've got sue coming in down goes one can't I go get the Frank hit running out of bullets he is not gonna do it first down to fallen no kits anywhere on this map for the CT side he's got to find three but look at the HP of the liquid players this is entirely doable and that's a great start for an ally simple buy for less than 50 HP we saw Nico and one before can we see in the 1v3 on the pistol from fallin got a crossbar coming in put a tee sight Allie's getting tags how many put his five bullets left fallen bet simples gotta shoot him straight in the face pistol round goes to liquid very scary there when they both give up their positions well we could have just played that way more passively but thanks to simple getting the instant headshot we still won the round I do like the door push coming from your velocity there I mean that's a really fast way to the base you get some info and there's so many teams you go for that that mid boost to build into an ace player or even into a beast but it seems to be often you know the starters of how people build their pistol rounds on the T side but either way we do have double them from at liquids we've gotten a K and a couple smg's mac-10 and mp7 let's see how they use them to go for their ante for spy because luminosity they've loaded up on the because we got the full force away from them and of course with a deagle it just takes that one bullet to send around into turmoil have to see if luminosity can be good for that nice nay they're over to the white box on the boost position by liquid and it's gonna be very scary here for liquid before they start getting rid of some of these deagles I see very tentative stuff here as liquid claimed it passively made sure they're safe against any aggression but now it's time to move now it is time they have to take a bomb so probably indicate quite an broth with a dren and fallen both rotated away from be at the same time here he goes and they'd start to fly in the smokes everything the CTS are basically playing a retake on the fight there around forklift and the highway coldest humming with two diesel shots he's gonna go down as is headphone X adrenaline a two man spray done here hiko holding the high and that is where he will find psycho Dan goes for two players remaining in outs fallen playing where he co was with the PT 50 but he's the last man standing Francine spotted and finished off liquid lost a lot of players there but they wonder rather that's what matters at the end of the day great play from Adrian getting two kills getting them back into the throne because the first mistake they made there was that he didn't Molotov forklift called Sarah got two free kills from that position and you can just simply deny the position we throw in one simple mortal Americans love barbecue Stan but but they don't seem to like Molotov that much mom was this used to be the case so far I think I've hand in hands I wouldn't recommend myself the BBQ slightly shouldn't be recommended encounter thrice there's like explosions James they want the 80s once the trikes that are booming there we go so luminosity have a C's ed and that's about it for this round liquid have everything they want so this should be this round should be a formality for the teas and liquids will be double the score of luminosity unless something goes horribly wrong but then see the happening at the moment you see simple moving into checkers now just clearing things one by one but you should have some support the free spots venturing into the site and he will be a patient way for the time being that Molotov he will start to move around but again that isn't a Kay everything will get cleaned up street sweepers DJ Kay slay star and Phoenix standing in the smoke but really what can he get done here he's lucky maybe he gets a little little knife but simple have a good spray through the smoke and now the second half kind of really begin and a big issue for luminosities they went for that flow force by the second round which means that they yeah look at this only two smokes how are they planning on restocking middle and are they even planning on really smoking a mate this gon be but the crazy thing is that we see so many 80s I'm cold and ethnics I've heh but I think that could have been a smoke for example which has a lot more use for a CTS to cut off angles and to delay the t's so we'll have to see if that if they can somehow pull out the frags we're gonna have an aggressive push coming in because of the lack of utility from him nor see they know that it's a straight away but this three players who's just aren't in position that meets at taco have fallen they're gonna have to defend alone and if tacos dead fallens there with York against five players and he can't get anything done and leaves with a snap straight to his face in comes cold these sellout just as quickly this is just a save now but they were trying to go for the retake and fern X's push really far up he can get punished and that weapon can be removed by the t's by liquid if they want to go and hunt him down but looks like they are just in it easy at the moment and their leaves will be the closest man to challenge further forward that silence they were the off angle towards the truck my T spawn is gonna win the frag so looks like luminosity should be able to save at the very least one rifle looks like to this at the moment my Cho will play in New York of fall in which I'm sure we'll find the hands of simple a great play once again therefore liquid punishing luminosity for their lack of utility they just ran out tourists at a site and lures counter flashes no more tops because we couldn't afford it the third map should we make it there will be cobblestone but for now we need liquid to finish things off here if we are to make it all the way to the and so indeed simple will be the man with AWP and interestingly look at simple spawn he has a very forward spawn which means if he chooses to run towards mid and luminosity tried to cross touch to a highway then he could get a frag before they can make it there and it looks like he is going for it but it's just fallen who's going to be in zed connector and he's gonna be instantly smokes off so it was a good sport but nothing to do with it but there's a three-man push from you velocity towards b source again this time they're gonna finally quit but they can't get the kill squad and i guess one of us pray it's all about liquid right now but fallen he's got the scout in position it's gonna be tough for him but he's got one kill already the smoke is gonna slow down liquid somewhat but the are gaining ground sweeper slowly into the site simple is gonna send pulling sliding down that ramp and what confer do this is such a hard position to be in for only a smoke as far as grenades go then he flash back the still monteux's to still flash banks here comes temple just running out there to meet for risky business there now it's just down to two players maybe now it can become do it when you prefer but there is a course fire this nitro and a dren to stop him 14 to 6 liquid - away now from closing out map - and forcing it to the third and / had to go for that even though it was almost impossible for him to win that one with - look at this liquid is up 14 to 6 5 farmer from Asus on luminosity five four masses on the CT side they are trying everything at the moment but nothing is working whatsoever so it seems we may get to back to normalcy here before the CT slide whatever that is at the moment two players over towards b4 luminosity nobody engaging them adrenalin super passive just waiting for luminosity to make a move Wow monosoff on to sandbags don't haven't seen one of those for a while yeah and actually I'm surprised simple didn't get a tag there by the family's invent that's not wanting to get the position away have to see a simple can find something in middle it looks like he might be potentially giving up soon we'll have to see oh there you go simple finds it straight to the dome of birth that is painful as simple now is going to advance liquids presence in middle there are three players currently for luminosity by the forklift area by highway they are custom going for the a main take that's very smart if they felt like it was gonna be an a split taking away a may at this period would actually give them information or potentially help them to to kill the push they need to act on it faster because gravity is bringing liquid all the way down to the B bomb site and there is only one man there the captain the in-game leader for luminosity is isolated and he is dead then there is nobody left he runs on the V bomb site FNX is coming in from Papua but he's gonna get shut down by simple so now luminosity streaming towards the B bomb site one by one I think we're about there to gain point it's looking like it there's not much that can be done by the remainder i'll bloomin Asti in this round instead they just turned tail run and hope to potentially save these weapons in tank oh he's trying to cover his his retreat here and there it is good job by taco picking up the kill against nitro their cold actually might get one as well there's eco down this is gonna be an upgrade for the a K I'll talk to the a K the trenors gonna find his way up CT spawn I don't think taco is interesting and interested in taking a battle they definitely need to keep these weapons alive because the money on liquid is pretty atrocious of course they have the full Rallos bonus due to velocity so they can get a decent-enough by going into this next round but liquid are so close now Matan point again liquid we could punish this luminosity friend a lot how would you defend it with a farmers versus simple song it's impossible impossible it's that simple see looking like world on threat very well done luminous looking like a fox in headlights at the moment they haven't won that a single round on their CT side their money has been wrecked all the way erect fully erect for maximum race game points for liquid simples lost half its HP to some flames other than that they should still be looking good for the round fur trying to play close quarters with the mp9 but Kirsch perhaps not the best map for it the flames as well Team Liquid playing a luminosity style with all these molotovs first man's down at Fallen first gotta even things up you can't get to the a K though gonna get traded by a trend simple goes down three versus free its fo next on a bee bombs like now he's in the head position it's got two more to find his teammates are rotating to him the bomb is [ __ ] checkers now not much liquid can do seems they are committed to the site they're spread on opposite sides of checkers which means they can't boost out of the vent where taco is waiting for them in mid everything slows down yeah this is actually a great hold by FNX that one frag just providing just enough delay to stop them from making progress onto the site and now it's gonna be really hard of course numerosity they don't want to really push now attack his position is fine they won't just want to make sure that if teamliquid are gonna double back that they know about it they don't want to take the engagement they couldn't boxed in at the moment then forcing liquid to make the move but they have a disadvantaged engagement also good smoke here all but the spray for the smoke is very strong uh somehow I tried winter ball again set for next surely not here comes cold and taco but liquid have the site now you've got plenty of time to go for the plant but these players will be stuck on the site he came out going for the plant that's called in taco gonna make their way in I sports on forcing Kiko out there all we can't back a waste burning and cold we'll take the frag nozzle of the trench the standard for this corner you think typed out of three taco with the wall bang and that's gonna be the round there for luminosity but the plant did go down for liquid and three players were eliminated by liquid so luminosity are gonna have a hard time on the cash as well three liquid plays have around ten okay so they are coming straight back at luminosity with more guns more bullets and more lathes there's going to be no respite for the Brazilians will see us be very smart there with the diffuse giving chucko time to pick up that up in middle shout out to the people at the very top of the arena today we're gonna come and hang out with you guys tomorrow you are not forgotten AWP straight fonts are simple elesia to fire picking up in a k-put and open both sides luminosity are in a lot of trouble again they still have limited money but that standard smoke coming into a main for the CT side and liquid will have somewhat of a slow start no fast aggression there is an a speaking of aggression we've got three people mint fur underneath to boost its prey two people mid fallen towards the checkers playing be on his own you smoked off his usual angles as well but did see that Molotov going towards the second or position but he's going to hold there for a while and liquid are going to start moving away barely Ric Flair's in the building is another passive opening from liquid this is actually really smart thing to do in a moment like this because luminosity could be trying to disrupt liquid early in the round with some aggression awesome information plays they have shown that they like to go for those so liquid just keeping themselves safe and if you were not seaward to make an error even in going aggressive liquid they're gonna be there to punish them but a lot of time has passed now don't you see some map control from liquid and they are going for that delayed mid take it slow it's just simple actually he's got a teammates you help him out here with the Molotov and look at us a beautiful way to open things up good use of the Molitor Steuben and also to under boost to allow liquid to have control of middle and now they're sending up the push into a so they have the split possibility as well so far liquid have built a very very good round here but can they close it against luminosity psycho completely blind in the NBA a position colder sliding things off well after coming alive now and there's two men down to liquid seems it might not be over just yet but here come the frags again down to a trend he is in mid but he's got 12 seconds left on the clock to find two players getting so myself and highway as well so it's going to come down to damage for a training but has kept the counter flashes coming in as well he will get finished off so luminosity are not after this year and you have to wonder if luminosity keep creeping up the scoreboard slowly will we have butterflies in the stomach's of liquid that was a sick hole from taco by the way just getting a quad kill I mean honestly liquid had a really sick a take of the map and then into the side house such as good from there but taco big big individual performs to keep his team in it yeah and I think when also liquid needs to take a timeout right now they will go for this round right away but after this round their their bank will be broken they have lost two rounds in a row simple is gonna be boosting two plays up so perhaps people see and mid take where there is currently only one CTS FNX on the sugar cube the white box or whatever other name you might have for it to people of it would be on this occasion so luminosity trying to keep things fresh on their side liquid not committing to a mid taker and luminosity HTTP storage now as well so they brought some forward information they another board position just yet but that information is kind of key and is actually a little bit worrying if falling cannot get too toxic but it looks like he's gonna be able to do so and that is very key right there because that all allow luminosity to stack more towards a and middle and beautiful frankly it's actually gonna decide it with the advantage he's just game for his team for luminosity to fall back into the into the B bombs fight this is good play from luminosity liquid starting to take mid now the bomb is in mid as well so it looks like they're going to react to that frag by going to take B there's a bit of a clip on to nitro falling moving to a passive position he is there alone and the rotation again is very very long to his teammates but he's doing great work still not smoked up for the time being and there they are running out of players to push this fight our liquid three versus five now looking good for luminosity simple dough getting off to a good start and swollen might peak now is he gonna get punished as well aren't our timing the smoke will do the job one gets picked up and we should see the plot coming in soon thirty Seconds to get that done this is a full vs. three here for liquid so they're definitely at a man that this advantage nitro is quite low as well they've got some decent post compositions but luminosity have to incendiaries and a flashbang that utility is going to be very strong in going for the pusher if they just coordinate this perfectly and they are all setting up positions right now they can attack from four places at once you should be pretty good here it's mid take a strong individual performance from liquid and you got simple there by the event looking for the toughest shots potentially this is audacious stuff there from simple and he will pay for it now it's gonna be luminosity storming the bomb site it is a clean sweep on the retake very well handled very calm and patient from luminosity and that discipline pays off and it's so cool to see that fallen is alive in that retake even though he was too dedicated be player if you want to learn how to play the cash along with off just look at how fallen play that he just played it perfectly going aggressive toxic getting that enter kill covering vamps when he knew that they had checkers he just fell back to her cedar spawn through him all talk just bought more time and then they just went for the retake together this perfect play by fallen no timeouts coming in just yet for the liquid side so they're gonna buy to around $2,000 they have for smokes for flashbangs simples the only man with a full armor and a deagle so it looks like we're gonna have a fast eight execute they've got simple in a mane itself double maids coming in but he is at the further end so he's only gonna take 25 HP of damage so we'll see what liquid have to offer I mean we've seen some crazy action on the a-site people running through smokes flanking flanks and all kinds of craziness so see if liquid can get something done in the bedlam interesting one to hold me Sora oh my god is it happening we see we've all seen the highlight clips from this position from simple he's got one already he's been tagged down to 39 I was gonna say that we saw how liquid handled this round by going for v-taper hey we got the push coming in right now from liquid will the maid says taco the first couple frags coming in good defense with a double on the a kay there's that the next to hold down the back as well taka will finally be eliminated and the smoke might provide enough time for a bomb plant but it's gonna be hard to see they quit holding on to this simple it's looking with that deagol my just getting a quick brag but he misses the key shot and now a dren one versus three with the aka double face in from luminosity not much for a trend to do that and the DPS will come in luminosity is are they doing it again nice try by liquid going for the execute they were with simple already being in the right corner of a main but you have to question their decision of going for a half by when they have 50 rounds because there's they're always not going to break the bank of luminosity because if they win one round they win the game so a strange decision there by liquid the big guns are literally coming out for luminosity we have taco on the auto slight pop the Ric Flair the dirtiest player in the game he's moving over towards a slight let's see the setup of luminosity cuz they have two orcs in tow as well firepower is the name of the game in this rant for the Brazilian side simple is going to be on the AWP as well but the liquid side may be in for a nasty surprise if they go in a closed direction and psycho by that quad position on the a bomb site so if there is the viene push I mean we've seen what he can do with the rifle I might be a bit afraid to see what could happen with a nought is my property get rise performance in this tournament with that thing now again passive opening from liquid hard to go wrong with that and they have been building very well and very methodically in in a disciplined way into these mid takes we're gonna see that again with the grenade so will the smoke set up into middle there is of course far who's in the event area he gets the first kill onto a leash we can pull back now job done smoke off the vent FNX going across the railing they're very aggressive stuff he's punished by nitro liquid going man for man at the moment as they've taken middle but it's a lot of presence here and actually be gonna push and be storage coming in from fur he's gonna work out exactly what's going on at the moment a luminosity know that it's gonna be an a plane they're starting to rotate preemptively we play from fur and now tacos in there with that Auto sniper two frags he's going to get the last one as well luminosity climbing all the way back showing that they have a championship spirit never down never out yeah and I like the idea by link where they're taking the may control throw throwing the wall of smokes because he knew that's luminosity had a lot of smack the gullet made control the problem was they didn't expect a tortoise micro their name another big mistake was they tried some water source event and it failed which allowed that plane to stay in the vent and take down the first player into mid but again they throwed a muscle towards B but don't have anybody outside to punish a player for exiting the vents so let's see DS well-chosen time and pushes be paying off well for the luminosity side Elise will scurry away from that warning shots again before he cone moving towards with year it seems liquid are just going to play close quarters of an execute toward a which would be a good cancer to multiple sniper rifles taco and fallen will be with D snipers so they have one less warped any halves in the previous round and they seemed quite committed Adrenaline's playing a late flanking role he's going to be moving towards a main so seems liquid are just going halfa lever here they're gonna go all in they've got four rounds to try and take the last one ooh taco might look to take somebody's kneecaps off and that would be a tragedy indeed oh so close and there we go great start pre-emptive firing from taco steak he goes down Down Goes night for as well just firing all day bullets for days colds are coming in on the forklift and this is a complete failure so far for liquid down goes the bomb no frags would have to slide and taco will finish them off have easier time out yet and on Fifi out all right don't freak out either the crazy thing as well as that climb that comes in the amount of damage Tyler did before there was even a push was just a little over a hundred because he tagged I think it's a leave she tagged first down to 50 and then he gets he co through the wall and the door in into into the the squeaky door room so you can really see how I like the utility of an auto sniper in that area where so many wall bangs are possible because also that's not forgetting those shooting into the mental shutter if they're setting up a take on to on towards the a slide so there's so many ways to use that weapon on the able side it truly is scary in the hands of a great players such as taco and you can see that he's very very comfortable in that position and it could now need to really bear down and figure out how they're going to get that one last around on Mirage luminosity 110 rounds in a row right now they have one that the last six rounds in a row you have to wonder what it does to liquids are they starting to doubt themselves they are at game points we all want this to go to three maths currently they have about three and a half thousand dollars in the hole so this should be an eco round from the T side perhaps Tekken line also warts here or there but should they not prove successful on this eco then luminosity will be to a mere two rounds behind liquid looking at the c2 economy as well furs on 12 K four limbs on six and a half tacos on six K so even if they lose around well if these when they're out but if they if they you know if they take a lot of damage but wind around then they can still buy up so they should have maximum defense available to them I think the quiz they were just discussing either how they're gonna deal with the auto sniper on a or if they're actually going to just ignore it that wants to sniper and try to go mate or B because it's so hard to deal with that order sniper because even if you smoke the sight you will get spam the snow and it's really difficult to get passed without getting tagged did you move three yeah yeah exactly you lose 60 HP so a lot of really tough decisions out of here for a liquid it's of course is gonna start with a bit of a quasi vibe from them we're gonna get the tech nines going with some neighs we will see two more tops three smokes and a handful of flashbangs only simple with any Kevlar and it looks like they're gonna go towards the territory have fallen but look at the setup they have with her he was holding a pop flash for fall in which he can still do he's moving towards the slice actually again put more pop letters can be held so somehow misses a shot and it is a safety in numbers game here for liquid all fallen he spotted a face and there's nobody holding the angle this time food the trend dares to go back there in liquid could be in trouble so great incendiary from Paul I'm actually forcing some players to actually try to peek him and he will take the frag onto a dren so fallen single-handedly putting a lot of pressure on this push into the beef site and he can will finally eliminate fallen but has fallen for his team enough time to go further on the bomb site and a fast rotation from luminosity but will it be quick enough at the moment as declares from liquid are on the bomb site Alicia's there but wins the crucial one versus one at the round will be shut down by a luminosity thirteen rounds now that's so smart by four and he was actually looking above the white box and toxic because he there's a really tricky smoke you can throw from there and I think that was liquid plan there were comic throw the smoke from top of the box but for the newbie could actually see his head from that position just through let more Tom knew they had to rotate going the right side and getting the first page excellent play there okay you guys need to raise your voices liquid are back on the buy again they are at game points they failed seven rounds in a row they don't want to fail again so the up has rotated on a CT side we're seeing a bit of a run boost and it's succeeded over towards AIDS so that could be a nasty surprise in the dying rounds of Game two there's a mid take coming in from liquid so luminosity are changing things up quite a lot and they've got a three man set up towards the a site despite having as somebody boosted up nitro and simple currently in mid BOM still in T warehouse a drain is lurking over towards the bomb site and fur has anna griffin's aggressive position there as well so it's nitro can cover simple spec you can try and look for an opening towards the a site very unlucky not to get a connection there you might even see FNX is a brief position if he's lucky but coldzera has other ideas yeah that was the play they're getting simple into a spot where he could take the pics on to a and uses insane individual skill but this time he didn't deliver he's got four teammates now the fall back on this isn't incredibly important around this position from per is devastating first frag foul but it's a good coordination here from liquid Oh get the two entries that they need that's the B both side truly open liquid with a good chance to take this round it's going to be the retake here from luminosity for there's no grenades on liquid they cannot deny luminosity visibility in towards the bomb site and so they have to take the fight polo in the first one hiko I can do little players superluminal steep as the bomb site will be stopped this known a slept here for luminosity he co all he's gonna get taken down by the next luminosity will take ground 14 now there was a great attempt by liquid I think the crucial point over that around was called Sarah getting that jumping kill towards to get in toxic that was completely absurd liquid have enough in the back for a reasonable why here we should see a number of aks coming out is its last chance saloon for liquid to take this map in normal time if you want to see three maps you need to make some noise now for your team people where's the USA China that's what I'm talking about myth has been left alone again by the luminosity side they put a smoke down towards t warehouse and that's going to be that for the time being three towards a again for luminosity they've pretty much got the same surface it had last time - the boost over towards a we've got fur playing aggressive once again last time you had a make a this time he's got an m4 that's not a bad made simple avoiding the flashes though these forward positions whenever fur is playing aggressively is always very scary but as you can see he's given up that forward position and simples waiting for the right moment here to take himself some peaks in tours the check his area perhaps he's when he from all top into the vent from his teammates who are towards the middle area in the tea warehouse as you can enforce if there was a player in the vent they could force him out for simple but he's gonna pick on to the engi leader fallen an alpha has to defend alone he's use all of his bullets or votes he'll get one frag but any it's good for the trade now that once again liquid kids stormed the bomb site FNX is trying to buy some time simple trying to line up the shot can't quite find the angle FNX just slightly too far towards the bomb site and now things slow down thirty seconds left in the round is luminosity have rotated a little bit and the quid will go for a rotation of their own the a bomb site is empty at the moment well it could be able to beat luminosity to the punch on that bomb site is just cold you will have to defend this this 15 seconds left to get the bomb down calls could stop the round alone it's all on he cooing cold he Co taking a lot of damage there cirrage cult down to 31 all the flash from a teammate so good was simple gets the trade taco with a headshot a simple five seconds after plug upon a train will get a fry for there's no time to plot the pawns in cities board that and we are going to go to overtime so close and yet so far was FNX all the way in CT spawn the time runs out and liquid do not close again fifteen match points for liquid in total in these two maps when you put it like that it sounds very bad but we'll have to see if they can muster some strength here we saw it from them closing out that first map going into the next map the style of cache was a beautiful resurgence from liquid they need to bring that that resurgence back into this overtime and it's kind of like a luminosity when they get those Auto snipers that double up setup they just get into this state where they were just unstoppable however liquid they were really close a few times towards that b-sides yeah just imagine that from where at when FNX was running towards the headshot position on be if simple would have just walked slightly out through the right just killed him they would have just take him being walled around so they have had a lot of success towards the B site but it's just fairly not enough the by round before that one as well as a similar situation and you had to one be ones for liquid and one of them looked very very favorable favorable in be storage but somehow just losing those one-on-ones and that that's just really unlucky to be honest liquid seemed to have lost control of the map this is their map as we said this is arguably luminosities worst map problem is they are one of the best teams in the world so how bad is your worst map we are finding out as we speak luminosity doing a good job of adjusting and again doesn't even seem like liquid are dictating the pace at the moment and they're on a T side and that's not how things should work they've got ten seconds before we move into round 31 on the second map and they must realize that the luminosity is just giving down the middle they can try to do something more fun giving maybe they should try to push CT connector maybe we should try like leave one guy in C to connect you're go for the be split the game CD connector can just deny the rotations because it seems like the only time they were utilizing mid either simple going on a mission towards a or they're just running home to be split salute loss you always seem to be in control of the information what's going on in that sensing we will be kicking things off here it is the start of the first server time between Team Liquid and luminosity okay so we're gonna see some really weird stuff here from Leah Murphy they have completely abandoned the people on site putting three a and two mid and they have lost mid and it never had be to begin with but how quickly can liquid capitalize on this the b.split is on the beat the bombs moving there and live must have taken a massive gamble they put house on red van but always bet on black smoke Oh will at least pick up a frag for his team bring your bat to even Stephens three versus three and four nights you might have a very good peek here all mothers getting the double fallen taking down nitro and that's gonna slow liquid down a little bit it's gonna be quite tough from here on out but simple is gonna be able to get the plant in here at the back end is going to be luminosity with two players approaching from CT and one it's fur creeping around the smoke into Venza transfer get caught off guard all on simple this would be a time for a highlight reel gets blinded though and this is so difficult three players rushing you and you're blind and that's the round there for luminosity Pat liquid that looks really good at the start such a weird round by luminosity to gas go aggressive me to look like they were gonna go for the boost and three guys towards a no one on B maybe they they knew that liquid work play playing very slowly so okay if we just gain ground towards a we can go to to be later because they've never gone for a fast B push and they've gone for the big gun straight away the Auto sniper has come back out onto taco who who heads towards the a bomb site the smoke start to go down I think we're gonna see a faster push into mid here from the T's indeed we have two players off and again it's been abandoned by luminosity but what are liquid going to do I mean they have options available they can't go for an attempted fast b.split I can get him lots of intervention they've got a lurker actually who's very deep towards B that's a trend he is using us mixed to take checkers for his team so the b.split should be on he's deep into checkers it should be a simple beat split for the team but they're not committing to it just yet they've got Naitonal aged deep towards highway and hiko trying to get some information so the playing of the clock they've got a minute 15 I don't need to commit to anything too quickly they will want to try and get an idea as to where luminosity of putting their numbers of nobody myth and they actually have a boost on the B side right now so if Aiden just pushes here I think you can get two people from the side this is gonna be really interesting this boost position with falling my goodness is very risky though here comes the first man Allie's goes down at Rennes we'll get the trade fallen what a shot there he co our of this round fall in so much pressure trade comes in from simple gold try to get quickly into that bomb sight catch some players out of position he's going to see me with him as well the auto sniper attack oh it's gonna be popping heads simple is gonna feel there are Furtick three versus two here in favor of luminosity plant will go down no needs for luminosity to throw on to the bomb site where both players looking for the fast track want to see t-there's the first lap taco gets the trade that's nitro there on the bomb site now is called looking for the angle nitrous gotta be so OnPoint in this situation oh it's not gonna get it though it's gonna be cold with the m4 and luminosity again stealing another round away from the clutches of liquid and they must realize now that first luminosity is playing on the B side if they just saved two Molotov when we get into checkers we can just flush fallen out of the sight yeah there is a Molotov which stops you basically peeking anywhere if you're standing on the fight towards the tea entrance to be and the other one is for hiding around those wall bangable boxes can liquid adjust in time if they go 0 for 3 on limbless ECT sides then I don't even know what to say double orbs coming out on the T side so that they're putting simple into the game he's thinking we've got two of his teammates we have fallen of a nice peak into CT but he's not gonna find any information yet maybe taking this from the MIP she know they're going to be still early on in this tournament yeah this is a really sick boost you'll get a tag on two eco they could have lucky then didn't lose a man to that boost to be honest and now attack her with that Auto sniper popping nitros head from afar here comes a trade from a trend though liquid getting a lot of damage done to these women Asti players and their trend is gonna come out huge there with a double three versus three now as they try to take this a pump site but fur is there to get the trade trades for Daisy but finally a dren makes the difference three kills in this round now all down to the father of Brazilian counter-strike it's fallen from the car position you will take another angle depth through your connector from short you forget a fast frag and it's gonna be hard to do but all understand man gonna switch out for the ak-47 to flash banks to play with this while he has no idea where these two players are playing the post plant from as he disguised the bomb sight liquid playing the timing very very smart way to approach this round simple with a really sick angle there through the door you would never expect him to be there and there it is shot from behind and finally liquid put around on the board that's gotta feel good yellow first round in how many rounds too many rounds too many rounds yeah let's not go there they're gonna be on the seat decide and now teamliquid finally will be able to put up that double up set up they had a nice setup at the end there we're simple in squeaky door ad Ren didn't need to peek there because simple had his crosshair on the bomb and things were finished off that was a much needed round for liquid I think the pressure might have been too great if they went into the second half with zero rounds on the board they still have the deficit they need to hold on there CT side limit as the further each map goes one luminosity six seemed to just grow in power yeah like some kind of anime final boss or something other 933 frags on the board for coldzera simple not too far behind with 29 the thing is with Nico actually Hickory if you recall he'll finish he finished the first off with 24 when 24 and 5 in the regular time on the T half in the second half he only got two frags so he co I think he's trying to enable his team very much whereas of course you know coming in for the retakes of CT that's something he's so incredibly sicker we saw some very nice cutters from him in that position but you know that's also you know on this team you can imagine hiko's gonna be trying to enable the likes of her a leash on the T side he wants to get simple in those positions to get the picks as opposed to you know playing a dominant role himself so it's not too surprising but definitely he needs to step it up here if his team wants to take it over the line Mirage was 119 to 15 by luminosity they are currently up 17 to 16 the clock is soon to disappear liquid are around down it's crazy that we're getting such a similar situation to the first map it's almost like a complete repeat we're just hoping to see a difference from liquid that they'll finally make the adaptations that they need in mindset and an approach to the rounds it's actually going for them for so single op set up here well liquid are still being tested here they are not making the path easy for themselves we'll see if they can be successful colds gonna be going into mid quickly I think always teammates are in the-- it's gonna be a very fun mid site here for ArmA luminosity and it's been abandoned by liquid so we have some similarities in the CT side a dren is over towards the car position gonna be keeping an eye on zed connector simple is the CT up on this occasion so things have changed here on the liquid CT side one thing that liquid are very good in the CT side in regular time was actually predicting exactly how luminosity were going to attack it around and making their setups dynamic they always seem to have the right guesses and definitely they must have been doing their homework on luminosity but can they continue that it wasn't nine six half when they were on their t site a CT side for liquid look how passive liquid are playing on both sites they're playing super deep in the site they want to get these one V ones around the corners and not get picked off in isolation adrenaline close towards to be bomb so I had a bit of a ball bang there into checkers and it seems a luminosity will have fur watching a rotation through MIT and we're gonna have a four-man be split echo and a leash will they be up for the challenge the problem is if they Molotov the site now I there's no way liquid can defend this see if they are able to find a snowball's chance in hell just yet you'll see don't have any knees left actually to throw into the box so liquid actually looked like they could be pretty okay in this position if they just hit their shots but who is the one to find the finish on to a lead seeker with a quick trade but he's low and ethnics will take him down now just three players here for a liquid as they rotate in they'll get the incendiaries in there but can't quite deny the font again this is a very rough situation for liquid maybe find some more banks through here and just slightly off that on the angle and here they go simple will be in behind nitro but both will find the same fate tacos ak-47 straight to their face Paulin finishes off the round and liquid now against match point from luminosity everything is against them liquid is probably thinking right now if they're gonna give the mid to low manasa - once again or if they're gonna try to fight for it have liquid come to the end of the line this is their Matt Picht they've lost luminosities both maps going to overtime you can see the economy is limited on liquid sides they're playing passive or a at the moment like a leash over towards a main and luminosity also going to run that clock for the time being it seems they smell the desperation of the liquid side and they will enjoy it Takuya though is just rushed straight into the a fight and he will see that it's completely clear and liquid would have no idea that he's on the fight nitro goes down for free liquid are in trouble this is such an odd situation considering that so the pushes coming in to the adrenaline hit the frag on to taco Nico is alone on the b-bomb site which is where Lupin I'll see a still moving but Cole will take down a leaves on the rotation he Kony's a big big play to save his team in this round and he's got a guy going towards headshot as far the spray comes in the flames are making it difficult but what can he go - he's got ethnics jumping through the smoke and a trendies a 1 versus poor retake with an AWP and there it is Cole's going to take his head off and luminosity will find themselves in Finals against Navi features too much to handle for Team Liquid but they've done their country proud and they took Ally Musti to the limit on both maps we are set for a very strong final tomorrow between the two top team to the best teams in the world but really liquid will it did a great job to come this far to raise the flag for North America and take it to this point in the tournament in this serious there are the problem down this they just couldn't take that last round I think if they just would have taken that time off earlier really discussed okay where a lot of rounds to play with we can actually take big risks and if we just keep taking big risks risks it's gonna work out at least one time but I don't they just didn't have an answer to that double or auto snow it's an auto sniper set up by luminosity and we gotta hand it to luminosity for some massive plays in very very critical moments when the pressure was really on the first one that we saw of such was from cold with the crazy porque on mirage on the b apartments something i'm not sure i will see four again for a very very long time but that sent luminosity into this crazy comeback when they when they i mean i if he didn't get that double with the op there it's very possible they don't win that round or at least their economy is put into a horrible state and should give liquid a very good chance to close but Lumosity they just could not be put down in this series so big credit to them is definitely a championship quality to keep the spirits high and maintain the composure well the leader the talisman for luminosity is on the stage with red eye for an interview well mission accomplished grand final for luminosity game you must sound absolutely amazing for you can you put into words what it means to you your team and brazilian counter-strike well be honest it's like a completion a dream for us rather be fighting so much in the last year's to get here and tomorrow gonna have the chance to bring the biggest title in cisco ever okay so congratulations on that let's talk a little bit about the match because incredible game you came back from the brink of Matt point again and again and again in Game one and then again in map 215 six down to come back and to lots of overtime how does that work it looks like it's taking a while to start playing well happens both maps and think of the more tomorrow we're playing I think we're getting resilience I think this thing is evolving is getting more experienced and you have to believe you have to go to heart and have to believe if every time we change we have excellent players and we can manage to come back and I think this was the greatest series I have ever won okay brave words I don't want to talk about liquid because fabulous game from them as well they played very well in both games and yet fall short you know what that's like when you've played so well yet it doesn't quite work out have you got any words for them I think it might feel terrible for them because they were they lost they played there well I think they don't more than what I expected from their team on this tournament they perhaps Sudan they played very well and they're very strong team and I think the North American scene is at all is evolving a lot I have been looking for the best results and Mario Martinez getting better and close the top level I'm glad that the liquid did a great show such as CLG on the sternum and it's good for us in thank you so much okay great words thank you very much fallen the grand final is confirmed this man is going to the grand final Navi versus luminosity and it's tomorrow we still got a little bit more though stay tuned

One the best hiko clutch happened in this match

[u/alexhyams]

Nah they were carried by s1mple and a bit by elige lol. They weren't utter trash or anything but s1mple was most of their firepower. adren was dogshit, hiko was slowly approaching dogshit, nitro had fallen off from his superstar form, and elige was 2 years away from being an elite player. s1mple was like 85% of what he is now.

[u/stndg]

My first CS go game to watch. I remember someone told me that Ukrainian guy plays for this American team and i was trying to recognise him from face cam. I was pretty sure that it was elige lol, most Ukrainian looking guy from roster.

[u/oojamaflip123]

It wasn't? Elige and nitro were nothing like the players they turned out to be, Hiko was on an obvious decline and it's the worst Adren ever was as a player... Nostalgia

[u/Hammond2789]

Not really. Aside from elige and S1mple none were stand out.

[u/Taureg01]

One of my favourite rosters of all time

[u/w23333]

I really wonder how strong liquid could have been with s1mple and Elige together alongside competent teammates. The idea that there could have been a liquid lineup with twistzz, elige, and s1mple as fraggers is bonkers

[u/[deleted]]

It wasnt that powerful, this was when Hiko was dropping off, elige beginning to get better and s1mple starting to become the god he is today
