NAVI vs G2 – Map 1 Anubis - PGL CS2 MAJOR COPENHAGEN 2024 - Playoff Stage

wouldn't be Counter Strike if we didn't start with a technical timeout would it Alex no man no no absolutely not cuz the first major on the new engine a playoffs bracket of the fandoms dreams this is what we've been waiting for dude and this only happens once na'vi versus G2 two legendary organizations in the new game about to lock horns in what I hope is three Maps what I hope is all the rounds is that what you're hoping for I want head shot I want clutches and I want to hear you guys every step of the way let's get it on oh some confidence out the gate just in the veto G2 starting on a nuis which condemns them to the CT side I don't think there's anything more difficult in counter- strike right now might attest to a little bit of Confidence from hookie a slow start a slow start indeed r just feeling out any G2 aggressions and that is going to be part of the course on the T side what are G2 going to throw their way round after round this is the type of map where you need to make moves need to stay Dynamic the t's have a lot of advantages and as we see three parked outside B2 coming through canal and the util hits the sky Hy can he start strong we know how important these pistols are Nico with his signature flash he throws it it may be premature forced out by the flames and JL puts him on the floor IM in with one P250 finds hoopie and it's already problematic for G2 well we know this retake is going to be difficult Nexa and Mony in combination oh he's taking off the silencer he wants to get loud this is very tough now it's almost impossible Chad with four players breathing down your neck holding the crossfire and hitting your shots the brother Hood bit and Mony forced to turn on one another and there's IM for the cherry on top na'vi Off to the Races on the tside start on Anubis yeah that's perfect right foravi now just have to hold them at arms length the CT gun rounds they're going to be the more difficult for G2 they would have been hoping praying to pick that one see if they could build a nice little nest of CT side rounds we can probably start addressing while we have this technical time out again just some of the head-to-head matchups that may come into play he's going to be the a anchor right bid is going to be the individual task with trying to take that territory off of him so as we see those two lock horns Nico will be the first responder from middle you're going to have hookie and Hunter over towards that bite and then Mony the loose piece the orer right now I would say the best orer of the major I don't think there's too much of an argument about that but maybe something that could be a little bit more controversial as Wonderful's position in that conversation broki's being great but for me Wonderful's is definitely up in the conversation so we might have if you'd let argument sake the two best opers of the major going Toe to Toe today wonderful taking on Mony there's something about the way Mony plays and approaches this game it's so fluid it's so it's almost like he takes every single opportunity in every frame to try and pursue that Victory he's very quick with it and wonderful you know a lot of people I saw Matthew discussing it have we been kind of underrating wonderful has he been getting his flowers or is this the run that ensures he no longer is mischaracterized I feel he's had to put in a few more carry type performances within this roster obviously a lengthy conversation regarding imma that one's been done to death so we'll wait and see what the results show in the server today you've had JL step up to kind of fill that Firepower role so for wonderful needing to deliver on the awp and not just the awp he's been great in clutches throughout there in campaign this year but Anubis as a first map in this best of three yeah and I was touching on it just before I I think for G2 this is the opening map if this was the second map and okay we're already warmed into things you're coming in cold to a semi-final on a map that is heavily T biased right but G2 chose for this to happen they knew exactly what would happen which tells of their confidence in this map but this is speaking of the you would let you could have gone in multiple different direction a lot of different ways so this is something that they obviously feel confident in now you need to make sure that either you're happy to stand them back B when the executes come your way or you have a plethora of different CT aggressive Maneuvers doesn't have to be out the gate doesn't have to be immediate but needs to come into the round at a certain point we know how it looks when a CT side doesn't act proactive claustrophobic so call your utility Chad a second round investment all right well uh G2 want to fight for the r of the economy right now s Under Pressure towards be so far amol and a smoke with a deep dark smoke as well they're going to push mid what can they find good flashex is going to be coming a lot spotted out can he find Nico yes he can quick response from JL finding hoie some damage but it's nothing to be worried about already the sight is lost big head shot from Nexa but the rest swept under the rug they put all of their pennies into it and get nothing quite direct from na'vi not allowing G2 to play into the round they're the ones setting the tone we're not going to default we're just going to go towards B play a lot of pressure Alexi and J in combination dealing with the mid slip and that's another head-to-head we're going to be seeing on the mid defaults Alexi taking on Nico right right now we just have Mony who would love to hold on to this deagle or even find an upgrade to take into the next he's not going to be able to find wonderful Wonderful's corpse covered by the bomb and this is the thing we talk about G2 and some of their individuals as big game players Hunter especially has been having a bit of a wonky time but if he can sharpen a match like this he needs to be given opportunities to do so so if you're na'vi you want to make sure you keep things tight don't give away a free AK don't over Peak the mark like keep the coms as clean as possible and place them by the book Counterstrike to hold G2 at arms length now this will likely spell full Eco from G2 I think they're not even that crazy yeah but right now in terms of uh game plan in terms of how they visualize this going for na'vi this is perfect smooth sailing dealing with the force spy and economical to catch your breath and a three zero stun now that's the cheeky smoke we'll be seeing that a lot deep into dark force a player down there to either play in front of it or to completely respect and Emma another Kill from him this is very positive Signs and More just aggression over towards b as I touched on earlier this will be hunter in hookie side mon joined the party but he's quickly removed hang on in there it's going to do a lot for his confidence you know we always say it and people assume ingest but some players they need the early frags to get the juices flowing yeah even if it's just on the pistol or against the EAS just on the pistol with such an influential round but for sure and if he's feeling hot then he'll be willing to take more risks throughout the game sure and those risks right they can be classified as a mistake if it doesn't work or can look like an absolute genius but this is quite the Spotless 30 start from na'vi bomb down again cash going to be flowing plenty of residual for the majority of the members and we are about to get into that first gun round which will be a tone set up did G2 go aggressive that's the big question for na'vi and in these first few especially against the force by and now the lighter investment and has been very direct towards this B bomb site so we have to see what Alexi who said he doesn't think he's in the head of Hy but he's definitely got him in the pocket five and zero dude yeah the record speaks for itself doesn't it he doesn't have to say anything in that interview yeah the record does all of it for us and there is Romanian presence in the arena I'm seeing the flags IM representing an entire nation and there's a lot of Counter-Strike fans from there who everyone has traveled a great distance to be here today some just down the road sure but majority it's a plane it's a boot and here we go all out for Mony that's going to be an important Trend Mony on the awp keeping it Dynamic he tells them where he's going lurk smoke towards B quite immediately you just saw that get deployed so question marks for this B defense where Nexus starting traditionally the a anchor this might be a rude shock for bit if he pokes his nose into trouble and just like that Mony connects his opening contribution for G2 in this semifinal but if it sends them oh look at this aggression from hookie so they playing on both extremities right now G2 hookie is he going to over say he's welcome oh the angle the Crosshair placement it was perfect from hookie IM he has his skull rattled and just 4 HP Hanging On by a strand he lives on and the man Advantage which could have been too they've almost Coral them towards canal and middle like the fact that they've shown the awp towards Main they've been aggressive at b as well really leaves na'vi only a few choices I'm intrigued to see how nco's mid fights go and this is his first test it's wonderful with a Gil oh dear that's the bait and switch setup NEX has meant to swing and mop up the mess yeah but Alexi was ready he was so ready and now that man Advantage it's squandered it's gone it's lost Mony under so much scrutiny and he's losing players left and right one back from hoie Mony alive with two bullets in the mag if he can connect if he can connect cuz Wonderful's got his number right now and a one versus three for g2's igl oh damage significant damage that's the same as when he found IM he still hasn't found The lethality he's would hope for solid Crossfire JL strapes out and you got another going for that retake is quite audacious as well it's the type of the round even with a number advantage on the CT side you're going to have a tough time breaking in towards that AI was mon going get out though I mean that was a lost off for no I I I just me there from hoopsy saving the M4 could have brought something through this is in Middle where it's all gone wrong so the flash is good Nico looks away NEX up on the swing gets caught by Alexi that's fantastic coverage from Alexi there really set them up and him May getting fired up as well still the Spotless start we don't want to get too far ahead of oursel because for G2 if they can get themselves three or four rounds on this CT side they will be happy with that so na'vi going through the paces but pistol clean conversions the gun round looked worrying and they bowed them out of a number disadvantage scenarios so so far just green lights for Nai I mean this was what G2 new knew was a possibility with the Anubis pick the problem is they played that round very well they right and they still weren't able to convert it Mr smoke they're just highlighted by the OBS team but no real worries a main control see big got dealt with by an or on his first a main control gam right you want to try and apply pressure towards Nexa who's going to be there but wasn't so we'll have to see if these games are moving these CT pieces around will continue you need to stay Dynamic you need to stay fluid on the CT side keep your opponent guessing but so far RV this is a stroll in the park interesting Flash it's just a clear out a main close so bit will hear that Nico what on oh that Molly caused him a lot of strife has he got the nade with Nico's number on it it's not far not far off the mark from Alexi searching a is bit no or this time he knows that for sure and it's a hoie on the floor NEX are down after one Mony Nails the deagle head shot maybe there's more to be said here the pressure in mid Nico trying to provide support but smoked off for the moment and 30 seconds the pressure is on that bomb carrier wonderful what's the go what's the decision Alexi oh he's supposed to be putting the strings now he's sleeping with the fishes him in back two on two wonderful on the bomb into the open a sight it should be Nico down and out and Hunter yet to frag heading the wrong way hesty did an awful lot there to make that round competitive but just getting caught between the extremity and having to deal with middle so far he's uh the only one to put up what's felt like resistance in these rounds I know we've only had five play but there's a multi-kill for him and the or kill so those are tone Setters potential difference makers yo but look at that scavenge hunter ever resourceful will'll be able to hold on to quite The priz Possession going into the next round of play so far the Romanian on a bit of a rampage 9 and one from imma can you speak to the form he found in Paris I mean everyone talks about it like it's this mythological Beast well that's why he's on the mythological Beast of na'vi right that's why they spent so much money to pick him up same with JL the prospects of the Paris major just Sky High and look they took the gamble on them and apparently it's paid off SC tactical timeout called an opportunity for us to discuss the coaches Blade the puppet master of na'vi on one side but this one's been called by Taz a legend of the game in his own right yeah the pilot of the plow what's his contribution going to be or is this just to allow the team to have a bit of a breather five rounds they haven't been the quickest of rounds but it feels like it's gone in the blink of an eye if your G2 you haven't really been able to contend thus far the first gun round it started fantastically but fell apart with poor trading in Middle yeah that you're right that first gun round felt like it was a really good sign of life out of G2 everything was working hoopsy had the space modesty got the opener the smoke landed hoopy get the dink on IM it he makes that kill with a whole different round okay yeah it was a 3v5 if he hits that and it's awkward it's awkward for the remaining three this is an aggressive maneuver highlighted here Hunter with an aggressive smoke towards T stairs so let's see if they push off the back of this oh it's or it's smoking mirrors let's find out as well from the dark position the smoke lands you can see their options are limited do you cross through it wonderful thinking about it bit occupies rugs a n on the smoke forward of this deep dark smoke so Mony he's forced to commit to this both teams using evolutionary smokes looking for that opener and there's JL giving it a look in Mony an unusual Miss but he comes back for more rewarded for the greed this time two men set up the Bulan Brothers in Arms it's next to an ni holding on to the a site they repel the Invaders and in the same breath take B this is exactly what G2 need to be doing keep moving keep playing for space and finding frags there you go hooky will get the better of him this time round Alexi is in a power position Chad there's something here it's not much look how active they are e looking for trouble catches it Kalashnikov on Alexi has he got another Nexa denies that's important into the 2v4 will G2 convert this one again staying proactive they keep moving keep searching for info never allowing na'vi just to say stable and set up bit low or on or bit versus Mony and he's taking him down the head-to-head right now favors bit between the two of them and no NEX is around this can't go wrong can it wonderful dead to Nexa that's the round surely bit with no HP no hope and no Health G2 are on the board folks that one's going to feel goodish representation in both semi-finals and I'm sure the crowd would love to see hookie and carrian locking horns in a grand final it's almost too [Applause] poetic but that's essentially a round that's attested to everything we've been discussing with this CT side and what's necessary from G2 I think Mony is given the green light to play he is an absolute monster right if he over Peaks and dies so be it but he is the Difference Maker in a lot of their rounds so the fact that he stay is stubborn and is able to find that opening pick you're going to need plenty more of that different smoke yeah different variation and oh softened by the N JL the back and forth of the utility maybe they want to try and pressure Nico in Middle yet to get off the mark zero and six mon I said he's that loose piece he's the flare he gets to be wherever wants can call his own PS can call his own fights got that flash support set up deters bits progress on a Alexi cooking mid he'll be under pressure in a moment honest's having a look trying to catch the right window of opportunity Turns The Flash the Molly will subside shortly if he Peaks into this wonderful should have his number in the OR Head to Head both of these players both of these offers are a spectacle to behold and they both seem to come alive on the stage down goes wonderful Nico builds a on it it's a massacre in mid well that's more like it that's what they were hoping to get out of that setup earlier in the piece this time Mony and N the star power of G2 in combination SNF na'vi out to post what should be a second round and the first time they comp poose consecutive there it is Nico on the March 5 to2 a three round difference as they Whittle down the finances of na'vi now does it feel to you Chad burel that uh Nico's starting to get a bit more comfortable in this CS2 well his tweet the other day didn't fill me with too much confidence but I think when you're on the stage in a match like this you forget about some of the uh issues that you've been caused and you can just go for fights take the jewels use that aim widely regarded as the most proficient Master of the crossair I'll take the look at this na'vi have been able to buy back in but a few emissions in the Firepower Alexi and bit having a stomach something a little bit lighter not keeping it direct either oh hello Hunter's given it a lot looking it's JL spots him out and he's seen enough a lot of early pressure though well they need to continue with these jarring CT aggressions you see this time doing it Molly jiggle combo over towards B main Mony also starting to Edge over for a pick so they're looking for info so Dynamic will IM be ready for this he's holding that sliver Gap he's just fallen off that's a hard shot to go for wasn't too far off it whistles past the nose of IM they know where the or is now do they try and respond and put pressure on towards the a side they're regrouping they have baskets control okay next uh big test ahead of you here and he's got an Nico in support you can see a lot of communication for G2 and Hook's not too far away either hookie even has a h a Flash and a Molly n forward and a forward stance from the defense ahead of any flashbangs the nade on the smoke it's about to be a blood B next with four unbel believable spray sends na'vi back to spawn tail between their legs right now a bit sheepish na'vi they're being herded around the map by G2 all these little aggressions they're making it uncomfortable you never just get the control you're looking for and I wonder if this flicks a switch I wonder if we see a na'vi timeout before the next gun round and they try and just go with Tempo with Pace as it is just wonderful to try and retain this awp they're attempting to cut him off with the pass he would love to be able to hold this but oh my God they're hunting him and this is perfect the fact that they're doing it together yeah the blood hounds partner up nose to the ground looking to take him down hoie he will be a victim to the awp has wonderful gotten away with this he just rounds the corner the whole Squad hot on his Trail but I think wonderful has done enough and he go gets away with [Applause] it that could be a Difference Maker another round for G2 though chat but you want to try and set up we'll check this one out again beautiful stuff right the two of them again just staying active getting in the face not allowing the execute to play behind it they're the ones making sure that they're ready to take those jewels and you can attest don't you feel a fool when you clear the smoke and you're the one that gets owned just these eyes with Big Guns staring straight at you you're not even looking the right way we've got to oh run boost go on oh we might go dark Peak this could be spicy wonderful looking for a quick Pace change looking to make impact with an opener smoke obscures his view he'll have to think of another plan a tou of his tongue as he backs away Hunter with a early spray doesn't connect next all on all action it's a strong angle wonderful down and out it's Mony in the feed first the or the potency neutered progression hookie aggressive this is brutal bom God on IM next victim for hoie he's got bullets to spare I say that maybe he does and he calls upon Hunter five alive for G2 to continue this run yeah and you can see how desperate that was from wonderful right the opening pick towards dark was their way in he had the op on his own bit had to head on over late to pick that up and Mony getting fired up now this is starting to look like a very very tidy CT half and the fact it's consecutive remember the way we got here was off the back of a timeout and speak a timeouts now we'll see one from blade as discussed when the guns come back out do we see a pace change more direct play from na'vi these defaults are being forced being pushed so if you were hoping to play out the map bait out utility hookie has an awful lot of answers G2 certainly do and we see blade on the mic blade and bit the only remnants of the Nai of Stockholm and the timeout called the first for them [Music] fans reminding us of some of the G2 victories with hooks here at the helm yeah they haven't got an empty cabinet no definitely helping Nico etch his name in the history books yeah but the elusive major Chad oh well you'd love a third cracker it wouldn't you this time against carrian and rain oh come on all right all right well the weapons are out RV took the time out what is going to be the change really he smokes towards B honestly trying to set them up for aggression with those flashes IM needs to find a fight he's looking for one he has eaten that flashbang that's a full duration white screen how is he still not seen him they don't clear him and three in the feed for na'vi off the back of the timeout blades call takes a slice out of the G2 defense there's got to be curtains for this round unless Nexa comes alive again on a this [Applause] grounds n'i Monas needs to get activated somehow so many question marks right now for G2 in this round Shan NEX has made it somewhat interesting but if he goes down it's over yeah there it is so Alexi will sweep through middle clear out that problem but where's monesy gotten off to that's the next question for na'vi he's in so much trouble but Monas is having a look it's not a timing this is what he loves squeezed through a gap oh scope hurt I'm sure oh he's a dead man yeah the late lur out of him seals the deal na'vi off the back of the time out return to their winning ways it was a run from G2 and Alexi going to be very happy with that one this is tside of nuis Chad you already set the bar around four yeah they've managed to hit that so if G2 can continue to push the issue and grab a couple more they're going to be happy moving in towards halime but thus far na'vi with six to their name but at least tied the half we've had pretty decisive rounds on either side it hasn't been a tussel there hasn't been any crazy clutches needing to come into play no huge heroics just yet yeah the NEX double did get me a little excited well here's the Mony aain awp yet again okay well let's see how well trained bit is a lot of the most proficient rifl in the world love to play this role and he's got the info and a leg shot onto wonderful Nico electric from Alexi loses his head and now oh Mony eats the flash the quick Panic from the rotation you can see three players just magnetized to Mid off of Alexis's F you have to push extremities now you you can't just bunker down on the Ws the sights losing middle put so much pressure on the CTS G2 you just hope to block with the U you've actually held on to a decent bag couple smokes couple moles we talk about the importance of middle Nico's going to be frustrated to have conceded that one that was that head to-head against Alexia I was discussing yeah let's see what Mony can cook up here they're clearing and another damage but no Frack that's two tags just him here from Mony the whole Squad Barling towards the Orit and Alexi just handing out haircuts to G2 the entire round essentially on his shoulders right there and he's going to be kicking himself the fact that wonderful and JL are both walking a little bit funny the problem is they're still walking yeah their hearts are beating and for G2 you might have to just put the fishing rod in the water see if anything comes your way well this is what they like to do in a lot of these retake rounds they hang around they try and be a little bit of a nuisance if somebody from na'vi will make a mistake then they could justify a retake but if you lose all these rifles it will spell trouble for the remainder of this half and while speaking of remainder just be one round left he heard the Dismount there Alexis communicating and he wants to try and twist the knife he's being baited in by bit spam plays the fade and now looks away they are coming for these rifles they want to take it all away from G2 they want to make this [Music] hurt well there's a trajectory that implies Beach is occupied they all get away JSU preserved three rifles but it's a seventh round for navi's T side okay holding on to their goods making sure that there aren't going to be any emissions within the bu plenty of cash for everybody to get out what's required is there enough to get the awp in the hands of Mony I'd say so the Des discussed uh the stats for Alexi not being great being pretty pretty miserable well I think it's a good time for the in-game leader to have a a good game on his birthday no less there tends to be volatility in an igl you know all about that that's for sure no question mark But Alexi could definitely have pop off games I think that previous gun round where Emma able to get behind them is new to the CT aggression at least for now he could doesn't shy away from a Spam now this combo of smoke and Molly will force his hand he'll have to play back we see it this time he's in the right place will he find lethality these leg shots were insufficient and oh it's wonderful oh and a second he builds the round and then tears G2 down click of his Mouse only Hunter and JL ready for it comfortable on the semi-final environment an eighth round for na'vi secured I say that as I still see Nico edging closer oh they have to he's given it a go kind round of the half but there's nothing here for you there is absolutely nothing here for you but misery and another death in the column A N to the face puts him down four frags in this half from Nico he makes it five time ticks support arrives Nexa with a kit and a smoke maybe Alexi B has locked it in for the eight and there we have it wonderful Sensational and eight that shot did he hit on modesty must have been something modesty shot first gets him through the wall head shot follows up with the second that essentially secures it but the people of the royal Arena have been hard at work as well apparently having uh fun on their Saturday evening yeah I don't think any Counter-Strike fan could think of a better way to spend a Saturday at Counter Strike 2's first major in a soldout stadium watching Counter Strike like this what a bank say 16,000 16,000 dude take a moment of pause 84 on the half G2 can pick up the pistol they can work with the four here's that shot from wonderful oh just working with the legs and quick into the second on hookie a fantastic trade JL we didn't have to say his name an awful lot but he's been having a great tournament and I I guess that is a very positive sign for na'vi we go which is is a through utilt for Nexa juw Berettas in the hands of imma with a smoke and they're going quick towards mid JL oh drop he'll hear this and lose his head fomb the bomb force a rotation is he expecting this Alex Oh What A shot takes down the bomb info flows big one from JL a double kill onto the G2 star oh this gets awkward now for G2 do you go A or B Huns in he'll be getting the bomb down smoke towards a main maybe wonderful can catch a timing through it as he punches in the code no one's looking he's already through up towards the pillar Hunter a quiet game him and Nico the cousins the kovat cousins and now only Nico a one versus two to set the tone it's wonderful again a double kill to give na'vi the edge in the first map of the semi-final well the death discussed the head-to head wonderful Mony two names for the future playing on the major stage now and wonderful with impact from the tail end of the half now into the pistol round to four the bomb goes down so for G2 the round salvaged we'll check this out again that was a great shot from Alexi because the bomb gets tossed forward immediately J with some bangers and wonderful just with the icing on top of the cake J getting fine up about that one as mentioned the bomb went down Hunter secured that we know that means rifles AK some Gils a m 10 a deagle in the hands of Nexa and some util to work with the score line it may look alarming but this is tside and nubis this is G2 but this is an Allin shove if you don't make this one work it's going to be 10 to na'vi you don't keep it close you don't get another plan likely 11 before we see G2 buy again what are you doing here hoie he's going for a bit of a crazy one through the smoke into IM what hell of a frag Alexi claws it back keeps it level pressure applied in the sky Wonderful's here is he got another he spots them over the smoke so do they limited Vision mon versus is wonderful does it continue it's mony's turn Nico another this Force bite it's found legs it's found its footing they're into the sight hunting Through the flames is Hunter that's his second frag Chad but it sealed the round Dam Hunter we saying a big game player at the start of the yeah series and only two kills it's very very quiet bit likely to try and retain this M4 but that's exactly what we were discussing if G2 weren't able to break through the half was going to get dire now there's a real chance to start the conversation they just have to deal with this save and whatever har are able to invest into the next and you have to admire hoie there oh yeah he know knew he had to take a bit of a risk right coming through the smoke catches them on enough timing breaks the way in towards B opens the door and then his team comes through and follows through so n to five round [Applause] Gap what's available to come around this a1s just going to be the pistol upgrade so nothing crazy deagle for JL 5 sevens in the mix these can be some of the most scary rounds though Chad w with the smokes in play it depends on how quickly G2 want to operate within this round na'vi going to try and block them and push them in towards the stacks lick of n damage on top jail will have to back away bit on top of the Boost see if can catch them well he's seen enough of that this is where you do as you said have to try and keep track of those smoke grenades if you run down the clock a little too much if you're a little too C cous time can get away from you proactivity and a double Molly standard protocols to clear out these close Corners mid completely secure hookie leading the charge again with the Mac 10 in hand bit could be the Difference Maker oh next that's a fumble he's lost out on the opening jeel they can't really react off the back of it either where the bomb is look how much space he's got he hears Alexi here might have been spotted on the jump it's possible through the glass yeah Alexis is holding this line if you try the smoke you're going to be at a Twan disadvantage oh this is t for G2 this is really uncomfortable now hookie how good you're clear bro 180° you never want to push through a position like that having to reassess within this mid round a player down so many unknowns 40 seconds time against you and the rifle was seen be regardless the call is made 30 seconds hoopsy to lurk late and down goes Lexi that's a big find he went looking for answers and he just gets bullets oh and there just one efficiency from Mony wonderful back hoie flanking IM is gone and G2 with 14 seconds to spare two rounds in a row where hookie has been able to find impact Shaw not the craziest of kills but the way that they changed the shape of what could have unfolded great job from the Danish ingame leader keeps g2's head afloat because that was worrisome the Clock Was ticking if they did have to worry about the mid to be split right the rotation from Lexi could have been there b and imma could have kept their attentions towards dark as well as be main so just by virtue of not pushing into Temple hooky gave them something to work with good stuff from hookie well two rifles to be retained as JL and wonderful both been able to pick up some prize possessions G2 claw ever closer just a three round game now working back into things but it's still not going to be an easy round there'll be some Pistols that can be dropped right it was bit who saved the rifle in the previous that means that wonderful in JL not only do they get upgrades into rifles they still have the residual pistols so there's four booby traps at a minimum to deal with as you move into the next round of play so they're going to have to do this the tough way G2 these aren't going to be easy than I could to be given to them be more tough decision making and this shot from Mony check this one out bang bit in a power position the Molly would have done the job but the bullet did first n would be feeling quite happy that they still have have a chance to contend for this round but this is a little bit more direct take a look at the pieces on the radar G2 moving in One Direction as a unit it's not the default spread they want to try and go for a bit more of an uppercut finish good block on the smoke if an info play comes out for na'vi now they can understand where the Finish could be likely sticking to the gun sticking to the call and NAIA gambling incorrectly full exct look at this every single spot a smoke a Molotov it's diligent it's clinical it's beautiful it's definitely counter- strike and it's going to lead to a full cleared sight 5v5 well the conversation changes damage on the agenda for na'vi now how many of these rifles can they take away how much Financial impact can they inflict on G2 you have to strike a balance right you don't want to be giving away anything to these CTS but Mony he's happy to go looking doesn't really have support here and JL loses his rifle Mony going around the world bit spotted look how sharp this kid is he's not scared he's not shy takes down some of the rifles they hope to bring through to the next I could have used a couple of those really only 2400 is the loss bonus coming into this one we'll have to see how they make the buy work now and how that's going to limit their options on this CT side but Mony continuing to show that fantastic form getting fired up this is what his dreams were all those years ago but now he's on the big stage on the major stage you know what it takes to lift a big trophy but not a major Trophy and he'd love to get himself in that Grand Final you know for him as well just the trophy in the game well take a look there there's Kenny s in the crowd he made a tweet before this game went live agreeing with the desk the head-to-head this wonderful Mony matchup could be a deciding factor I think he said would be the deciding factor for who picks up this series well he knows very well about orbs and head to heads likely a large inspiration to some of the orus of today Lexi taking the bit of pill of the Famas the rest are going to get some tidy rifles in their hands and even wonderful or in the mix the same can't be said for Mony this is aggressive look at JL there's no way they're ready for that hoopie blindsided by an aggressive JL feels like they're forced it towards B they have to go they know there's less players here he's gone pushing nice shot from wonderful takes down Nico bit another Nexa the Difference Maker he's found the double extinguish required wonderful under scrutiny just a Glock no reload can he really do more go on Nexa triple kill as G2 one kill away for making this a one round game the impact we've seen from g2's newest Edition here in the semi-final is already impressing a fake cl you man he's had a strong game so far a winnable clutch and plenty of time now he heard the plant the smoke will fade another one takes its place this time on Maine bomb has hoping to be overlooked hoping for a misstep from these two that time limits his options the crossfire is strong the weapon is perfect next a four kill incredible work from Nex up was that a 2v5 it all happened in the blink of an eye was that a 2v5 that they just pulled off wonderful gets another on jail bit gets another one I think you're on to something it was just a brawl it was just an absolute Biff on B right but it all just quickly fell back in the face look at this so wonderful yeah 100% a 25 because it was just Deathmatch well this is where you want to put him NEX and monest in a bit of Deathmatch to pull out a 2v5 a massive round to win unbelievable work and that's a Tempo Setter that's na'vi trying to dictate the pace of the first gun round we were talking about the CT aggressions G2 doing the same thing but that look we've had both of these teams in first gun rounds have number Advantage situations but that was a 2v5 that was nowhere near the same as what G2 were dealing with there's an opening pick and a dink that's all they had off their aggressions that's huge and this is as well hooky continues to be a menace towards this B site so now you've got the advantage it's about how you finish they should be able to tie things up 99 no question about that just going to be some pistols they have to get past yeah and understandably na'vi want to just hedge their bets right you want to put these pistols together strengthen numbers G2 on a bit of a roll right now I mean who isn't going to be uh invigorated when you see Nexa pulling off plays like that he didn't even bother to reload he knew there was an Ora in a smoke panicking and he ran at it with a Glock a n from from his teammate it was a beautiful sequence from G2 oh how quick it was they were the ones under pressure and they're the ones applying pressure there's something for Alexi to work with and the bomb is maneuvering towards him but he has no support and he has no head Mony makes him dead it is getting problematic here for Nai this is going to be a 99 game this t- side is flying for G2 difficult for J to overstate is welcome there again L burners built now now of course getting into a buy into the next be damage saving weapons but like G2 are now in control of the game this is going to be a five round streak with Mony and Nexa you mentioned the newest edition let's call him the newest old Edition the ban Brotherhood reunited on the march to another major final yeah they've been there before though yeah against na'vi no l back in Stockholm that's where they that loss A 2 na'vi a completely different looking roster bit and blade the only two that reside speaking of bit cleaning house just JL G2 tying things [Applause] up friends turned enemies look at the smile on his face he was built for stages like these the Infectious Joy of a kid who gets to play on counter strike's biggest St just having fun both of them both of them but Mony has the edge right now it's undoubted we still haven't had any crazy tussles of rounds I would say that is probably one of the first really that looked like it was going one way and then ended up the other real back and forth the 2v5 is now the buy again himmer having to operate with a Famas after that hero M4 in the previous couldn't make a dent with it whatsoever and here he comes again hookie the king of canal he's not going to try again is he oh why the hell not he's got an imz number and surely IM yeah he's wise to this look at this Crosshair placement he is ready for the hoopsy oh but he holds his nerve holds his spray full white screen IM gets away with 10 HP the nade the flame he could go down here they fumble it it's actually the nade from Hunter that does its work they managed to throw that in from bside outside B main they catch him on the retreat so it makes it a four on four wonderful searching doesn't want to overstep the line doesn't want to step into the line of fire of Mony he's not there it'sa in a safe spot for now they're hitting the pause they're waiting for the CT re aggresses of G2 after they've levered out the field still enough utility to go for the execute and there's a little bit of a gallivant from the CT starting to take a look towards middle next to lobs one high in the sky JL will have an awful lot of information well that's an intimidating set of smokes a wall erect on B now wonderful turns his attention oh the timing it was there NEX he will convert dispatches of wonderful bomb to be planted bits rotation about to be cut down the pre-fire he's still doesn't hit it maybe there's something to be said here G2 defending it the cousins at Arms it's Nico and Hunter double swing and a double kill it's all on to Alexi he knows where they are he has the kit how can he isolate these Jewels he's got 19 bullets everything he needs do they double swing it's going to be ni down first Hunter knows it's planted for him does he swing off the nade jiggle bait theb has done enough he disrupts the cousins and takes the T by four how they let that one slip I'm pretty sure he's shot before the commit from Hunter takes the jewel the moment getting the better of him and the birthday boy picks up a big one it's planted for dark next up a great round from him you think even had the third there that pre-fire does come back to cost him Hunter with a great round as well putting the pressure there was the nade there was some shots and then Hunter with the commit thought he could get the better of him just had to play the clock a bit of a fumble there from G2 with a number Advantage they just go straight back in dude the emotions are rattling around in their skull as we play on is that the lifeline for na'vi to get back into things pistol forced by LS and now a gun round an unlikely gun round G2 they've been marching through this half more than enough money to get them themselves out a full by they win this one they put Navi back in a hole those type of mistakes in mr12 those Echoes those regrets see if it come back to bite them default spread from G2 awp being called back off the line hookie moving his pieces around h a he scooping up that bomb outside be Hunter again next up looks like a similar round in terms of the individuals Hy didn't have the successes we see the smoke and mirrors being blown open JL clears top middle how you feel like they're hedging on an a play look at the radar o you're right it's only em here bits going to start searching but is it a little too late they held up B good smoke they can n it open and go IM it repositions and a great spam he's found Nico hope and a prayer from Mony look what that cooking on the flank he's just trying to keep him busy IM outrageous double they have the man Advantage here and the Mony plant is important extends clock G2 now defending their bomb PL hookie might not be ready how has he done that great head shot it is the three on three Mony as well can work some magic here great Flash oh spotted out by bit they're going to overwhelm him jl's done well there next to fight in tooth and nail knows where they both are it all falls to hoopie what but not two B will steal another away and G2 now surely on the verge of collapse backto back clutches those are the difference makers n'i they braw their way into that imma a mammoth task he was the only defender of that b bomb site hooky with the kill into Alexi you think it by space the spam through Nico goes down the tip of the spear the follow through the fact he knows he needs to make a play Brilliance and then bit into the awp for the trade immediate and Alexi is happy with that one I'm no body language expert but that was almost surprise on Alexi's face they pulled it off an 11th CT side rounds on Anubis they come at a premium and here comes Mony oh no lightning pass from Mony as quick as a flash he takes down two the round has only just begun but already na'vi in Jeopardy at the hands of Mony how do they get back into this one a minute and 25 seconds to find out just when you think G2 are out it's Mony just pulling them right back in to play heads up counter strike against the kid he quick we talk about it and after the hard work of the 1 v1s that means the finances haven't been able to build for na'vi this is an important round if they decide to go for it well wonderful is going to be tested here sha mesy he's fast he's impressive can wonderful match his output it's one it's not easy it's not simple and two will do enough to get the plant for G2 there's no way back in you can't surely give this a go Alexi bit Chad's talked about the finances they're looking at the alicus and they're realizing there's just not enough and the crowd knows what that means G2 hit double digits a one round game once more well that's all Mony wonderful tried to be that disruptive Force he did fantastic he hadit double of his own but it's just too much G2 didn't over push the issue they took their time they traded him out somewhat efficiently see his corpse there laid on the side they'll even be able to throw that or away don't want to allow it to blow over into the hands of na'vi oh man I was convinced G2 were in the bin and then Mony hits him with that we're going to see that one again in the replay this is just poetry in motion charging down the canal thinking you've got the edge and then Mon's up quick as that converted Now by G2 we've got a one round game folks bang smoke Flash doesn't matter IM leaping out the window wonderful gave it a good go one more would have done it or at least had them interested but the nade it sealed his fate a one round game they haven't gone all in here Wonderful's actually brought out a scout we'll see if he can get it done with the lighter option going to need to be tags or head shot Mony can just hit the body Alexi in the dirt B Under Fire there's a main push next Under Pressure this is promising he's anticipating it but bit he's sharp converts an important frag keeps it level that's another from IM map's just shrunk for G2 they're in a box this would be one way for na'vi to get 12 it was a brutal and broken byy it wasn't a full investment half of them don't even have Kev has done Scout how is this falling apart modesty to bail them out he misses the shot the impostor and it's hun got only one left JL with the triple they had nothing a couple of pistols a rifle or two and just like that it's n'i with two opportunities to take the first map of this semi-final the type of rounds they've been able to win on this CT side those are the ones you can't Bank on you can't Bank on winning backto back clutches you can't Bank on getting it done with a couple of Saved rifles at a scout upgrade imma went from hero to losing a frag to Hero again yeah the Beast sight so far it's imma's domain and that was with the honesty opener yeah so that push from bit onto Nexa as I said it Shrunk the map so much pressure and they were just condemned and it's Nico and Hunter the final two remaining and those two have been having the toughest time for G2 those two are the players that you should be able to turn towards the B out of bigger problems now from an igl perspective Alexi knows he's got two opportunities right last time he tried the aggression they ran into Mony they want to try something like that again doesn't look to be the case early out the gates Mony again posting up with the awp three player B start from na'vi l smokeing Main deep that forces a decision out a bit immediately Nico cooking early look at this side by side ahead of the smoke that might catch JL off with the timing they're already through the doors Nico an opener for you right now would be massive that Smoke's got him worried and this Gap Gap they've manufactured this Gap to Perfection Nico takes down bit one more to find JL cowering at the back of the site he's covered out what they don't find him modest he does into the a sight and one hell of a call back into save territory for na'vi but hunter the namesake already up close already ready to rip this out of their hands wonderful and Alexi White Knuckle grip right now to find a gap like that that is wild it's a crazy call they took the time out and they just walked two players it was Niko Hunter straight through middle they literally just power walk through middle smoke he smoked it and they're respecting it yeah they're worried about mid they're worried about a main rather well the Hunt is on another tag for mony's awp yeah he's had enough of those that's for sure Alexi going to get away with an upgrade into an AK Wonder should be able to retain this awp one more round and we go to overtime this is how you want to kick off a [Applause] semi-final feels like we've been given the gift of just incredible games here this the first major on the new source 2 engine and it feels like these games they just deliver they pack a punch they consistently surpass expect ations but this can still end in regulation Chad and well played he's taken the 30 seconds the last tactical timeout and see him right now with my very eyes pacing back and forth looking directly at Alex's screen a conversation to be had of how they can close this down saved AK and saved awp what type of purchases are they going to be able to bring into the round behind them MP9 for JL silenc and falls for bit and immer plenty of util kits are in play we're going to lock horns with everything both teams require G2 win this we go to overtime Nai pick it up 13 to 11 heartbreak on g2's map Choice as we turn to Nuke map number two 1 minute 55 anything can happen every decision further towards Victory or defeat Mony on the scope they really going to tussle with imma he's had impact over towards this side of the map sure he's been pced a few times needs to harass not going to hit the mark oh Alexi's taking the MP9 out of jl's hands yeah he's chosen to play close they could overlook this he's playing for this exact angle they've run straight past him Hoy onto IM but they're not ready for Alexi one and done Hunter with Ho's help he's looking to secure overtime it's ni another and wonderful an impossible [Applause] task bomb down one on four awp retake of the bide kit util everything you could hope for but four ferocious individuals wanting to push this to OT good luck wonderful yeah good luck have fun no fun for wonderful here Mony he's running at it with a Zeus in a semifinal he wants to rub it in he wants to get in to the Head and it's going to be Nico to put him down over time secure this semifinal needs more rounds map one hookie putting on a show today giving us the entertainment we deserve on this Saturday night entertainment's right Chad entertainment this is high octane counter strike through and through IM has arrived to this semi final he held down that b bomb sight the ball's on modesty right understand they have such a number [Music] Advantage let's get it going atist air smoke looks like it's forced out a responsive Molotov towards a main making sure they can't push they can't set the tone but NEX up he investigates off the back of a flash bit finds the opener that's very impressive find from bit as the a anchor to play such a forward stance a risk a gap and he's the one to profit despite the flash nexs are gone forced to watch as this 4v5 transpires when you think about this anuis match between these two teams we've been talking about all the proactive nature of the CTS it's like a chess board with the back and forth movements that both of these teams have been opting for they have this space we can go here this is the gamble we want to try and pressure this side of the map both of them have been throwing in the aggressions where necessary G2 responding with a number disadvantage pressure towards the B side I think they missed a smoke Chad I think they missed a smoke Moni they'll use a Molotov instead he's posted on the angle they're swinging through gliding into the site disrupted by JL one back from Nico a clear from the smoke manessi was posted hold on it's Alexi B cleared big from hoie 3v3 they've managed to stabilize this bomb can go down the rotation coming through there is a flank being cooked by bit who started with the frag he found the opening engagement Monas is checking it he's dropped the bomb he wants someone else to plant yeah but they've already swung through they're walking up safe plant bit flanking nice from Nico it's the flank though from bit a two on two a very high stakes game smoke maybe not a kit they have to find one good damage ni trying to back himself it's bit onto ni hoopie can't do anything and n'i take round one starting with the opener on a CT round on Anubis they'll be happy to close that one out wonderful delivery Mony the [Applause] same Nico starting to activate the later this game goes and maybe Hunter can find his form two more rounds in this first half of OT here's the opener so flashed in bit not worried whatsoever JL as well able to disrupt on the way in but Mony not ready for the big flank of bit so impact from him huge round from bit he started that round and he most definitely finished it they could see how G2 they didn't really have any space even though they had full side control they didn't have dark they didn't have main was quite claustrophobic on the side again this early b pressure just really wanting to harass this time hunt at the point man will be Molly back so so exchange on either side of the server really just harassing they want to bait out as much utility as possible mon ay moloto back spot out from Nico they know where the or is a smoke exchange been a lot of that in this round already and there's still a minute and 20 seconds left on the clock so pressure fell everywhere for Nico he tried his luck and he's left wanting 10 HP on ni even though he doesn't have the space na'vi think he does he applied so much pressure there they have to come back for a Rec CLE May PF wonderful can hold on towards a b and j can now start to posture forward and clear out close doors Asim got another one in him it's Alex flashed into the fight Mony on the AK ni gave it to him he trusted him and instead it's bit an him look how fast this is JL he's got ni's number Hunter feeling the pressure if he can try and get away he's box in punching in the code they're tightening the Noose three from every angle there's no way out of this one JL secures it and n'i defending a second round already this is impressive uh for both teams but obviously right now as we put the microscope under na'vi as quick as they lose space they've taken something back and it's not allowing hookie and the boys to execute freely because na'vi know it's coming and they're also trying to play ahead of the play or have more than enough numbers available to deal with it these flanks these kills through the smoke imit again just being an absolute nuisance smoke Fades Wonderful's there next to goes down Hunter has to worry about 360 there's no way out of that and G2 need a round going into the second half of OT yeah and this is when those couple of fumbles those flubs from regulation May haunt you as well as the knowledge that Alexi be he calls a good game up against his X team it's a one and done JL he'll find one as well so call it for V4 head of the smoke yeah wonderful this is very aggressive despite the flash he's going to play with some sheer aggression calculated aggression mind you L HP is meaningless in the OR Head to Head he's playing this angle with conviction he's playing it with confidence ahead of the smoke and Mony down it's a big find wonderful trying to keep the Sheep clean on this CT side do you really want to peek into me again he says cower in fear wonderful is here 19 frags G2 yet to post a t round their last chance to to do [Music] so smoke achieves nothing in the early stages they're not ready for wonderful he racks up another damage inflicted a little nade could do the job but repositions Hunters nade finds one the 1 V3 Alexi B Ed of the smoke seals the steal one more says JL that's the hard work done that is the hard work done right there and the na'vi fans absolutely love it three rounds on the CT side of Anubis in overtime with the pressure gets turned up a notch the big game players struggling to find their feet you're hoping to get the difference makers to be your Hunters to win out your clutches your Nico to obliterate with a multikill round well monesy and NEX are the ones who won the 2v5 yeah and now to look down the rad have the discussion with your team and say boys we need three rounds on one of the hardest sides of Counterstrike just to push things to double overtime the Outlook is Bleak G2 fans they look like they've still got some morale wonderful and incredible round you could tell it was desperate there in fact hooks is running back throwing the heaven smoke and then entering with the awp nobody wanted to make the move and H's like well I guess I'll do it well that's the power of a good Ora right you just see genuine fear in the movements in the plays once he got one the rest were almost set up for him here we go folks G2 they need three in a row or n'i will be one up in the best of three aggression required himmer blinded space lost well there's info two have pushed B says IM this is how they opened up the CT side with the first gun round Mony got the up pick over towards main on towards bit they push down B main hookie got the Dink it's a very very similar setup this time no overreaction from na'vi with losing B main chore long control the remit of G2 for now we know this is on a bit of a timer more than happy just to hit pause and now rifle through their util this boost is going to take Nico out of the play yeah and we saw mid gaps previously info on hook SE Ms still lingers outside B who's responsible for this midh hold they're so concerned about a m they have to address it from Heaven NEX is giving it a look honestly ano the of this show they're ready to receive it's all or nothing right here for G2 Mony what have you got Nico eat the flash they're both blind Nico he stands tall delivers the double it's not done Nexa needs one delivers down goes another it's all on to JL there's no time for him here and G2 they pass test number one two more [Applause] required there was ways in which that could have gone wrong Chad but they do pass test number one yeah and na'vi they're going to take a timeout you can see if that was a b split it feels like it would have been na' round every day of the week the Hedge from G2 Nico with that double looked like they were both going to be finding the themselves in a whole lot of hot water over towards aain feels like both of these coaches have been finding success after the Tactical timeouts so n n find their 16 that's the question I like the fact that they didn't rush things once G2 had taken information acoss the map anded them they just sat waited and they went later within the round but this is it this is the Difference Maker 25 seconds on the clock as they come through main the double make it a triple and Nexa does his job sets Mony up just to take the simple shot onto JL who has to get a move on yeah the bait and switch on a main well here we go again this is great from our OBS team highlighting an aggressive smoke that one going to land up towards rugs I do [Applause] believe well that's going to limit his options bit Maneuvers forward who aggressing there is a Molotov he's pushing extinguish and spray what a f straight through the smoke are they expecting another that flash o he nex's palms are sweaty someone has to be the Difference Maker for G2 in this round H can pull the strings from the grave Shore but it's the CT side when the kills come their way G2 need to step up with multis L xcb pushing forward Nico needs to be careful here an audible reload the fin Maneuvers closer na'vi four frags away from taking map one is it IM to take the fight Nico knows this angle like the back of his hand intermittent UNC crouching slips back in on the jiggle the double Peak is imminent Alexi doesn't choose to do so Nico falls off it's a big one back next is on his own he's Stranded the rotation miles away he's still safe from cams he repositions n tucking into the a site now mid conceded it's occupied it's time to Pivot back towards the B side Mony posted with the awp is going to have company head tohe head is it Mony is it his turn is it his time oh Falls away timer on the main smoke he had to back off what could have been well timed from wonderful taking the space map control 25 again it's going to be another H the SE it hangs in the balance of 20 seconds every decision they make is this nai's map or do we need another round Mony posted is he safe he Nails it JL gone needs another falling away run down by wonderful nice wonderful surely done enough now taken down H to the N it finds just a little bit of damage wonderful lives on the double kill from wonderful and he's not going to stop 24 frags on the semi-final stage it feels like it was the stage built for him under the lights in front of 16,000 fans wonderful doing G2 dirty with 15 seconds to play with he walks into the sight he finds the triple kill and he sends G2 [Applause] down na'vi a map away from a major Grand Final [Applause]
