Spirit vs FaZe – Map 3 Vertigo - PGL CS2 MAJOR COPENHAGEN 2024 - Playoff Stage

time this time they will be battling it out on vertigo of all maps who takes it home all right then Copenhagen is what you've been waiting for the third map the desk has discussed it and I've got Chad sponge burel a Vox eminor Fame he's attended Majors his himself and now we watch as team spirit with two players at their first they're looking for a semi-final Phase Clan The Gatekeepers of playoffs high expectations and a lot to discuss but let's get this pistol started first Chad ons rain over towards B there'll be an explosion of Glocks in his face momentarily the Jiggles precautionary on both sides that's enough from rain seen enough mounting committing look at this util dump they're trying to isolate them but they're already here they're in front of the util Spirit get a rude shock as there robs Carri Brokey it's a full roster rundown Chopper Magics fighting tooth and nail double from Chopper hold on chopper with three and a potential fourth up against carrian no less it's IG versus igl Captain versus Captain to start off map three it's carrian to take it a triple kill and he just stands up the king carrian in the Royal Arena he's the showman for a reason entertaining here this evening in the server and out and even in the veto vertigo who saw this one coming there was always a chance there was always a conversation but the discussion is is this spirit's weakness or this is one way to test it phase their Perma ban that's so crazy to me in a major quarterfinal you're playing your Perma ban against the number one team in the world it's kind of crazy to see it unfold in this fashion but showing that carrian masterful in moments like this to throw a bit of a curve ball playing some great Counterstrike this evening as wouldn't be the first time we've seen FaZe pull this out but the first in a long time and the first since Frozen's jointed always having the availability up the sleeve this is the m Frozen's played plenty of Not Unusual for him oh he's got caught covered necessary cover there from broi but donk will reveal that AK it's all very shortlived I mean what is that one frag yeah not going to be too uh too worried about that one if you phe two Z start drop a dropping that AK to Donan empty-handed yeah would want to get a whole lot more damage with an investment like that if we're keeping track of the pistol round Spirit won both on Mirage lost the map FaZe won both on nuke lost the map FaZe have won their third going into Mount number three and we'll see if that ends up being a Difference Maker but the rifles are out chopping out operating with the tech 9 R MP9 DRS the same progression smoke up the ra doc charging the marauder Frozen sits him on his ass oh stunning start Frozen getting away with M Time After Time his nuke performance was admirable Mirage as well Frozen stocks are flying through the roof right now he's had some big impact rounds some rounds where he should get more than one able to walk away with the multi well this one stall out immediately and spirit attempting to set the tone with a pretty standard play vying for that ramp control broki once he takes that Peak you can see Chopper not considering it broy in the back and that'll be the round yeah it certainly will be and also there's so many good vertigo teams now that how long did they have Chad 4 days 5 days I just wonder at what point once they knew they were playing against Spirit did they decide that they were going to allow this through because you know you're going to have had to have prepped in the lab you're going to have to work out your Basics yeah but do you then if you're going to slip it through to the third or potential map right Spirit decided to take it here Choice exactly not B so they must have known that it was going to be a possibility but how much prep time do you put in something that may or may not occur because you're not picking it m so there's all these I mean it already looks yeah but uh FaZe Clan they've got their roles distributed I think it makes a lot of sense to be putting Frozen in broky in premium positions but this is the thing it doesn't even matter because you could just chop and change we could do whatever the hell we want whenever the hell we want to it's not like team spirit have got an expectation no not at all so they're learning on the job right now what do you make of this then so it's going to be kind of a semi threatening half by yeah well next round they will get that Max L so we will see a full investment but this is about to see the pedigree of a team who does play this map right what kind of little pocket strats do you have and this is the thing if they were so worried about vertigo they could have just taken it to ancient some territory where they do some great work as well and I do like the fact that they've called The Bluff that for me shows that hi and Chopper they've got some big balls to work with clean with it testing middle robs and rain's actually pushing the issue pushing the limit comfortable from rain nothing yet for team spirit drops overlooked Magic's de to the AK-47 running him down is broy this is a very comfortable start for for FaZe how many frags have Spirit got I think it's four yeah four total in the death column of FaZe so [Music] far oh chob has been given some space but only for a moment soon as he starts to punch those digits in he will be a dead man make it five excuse me oh he's actually being the pl oh no no he won't Frozen just denies it felt like he had enough time to get that one down but regardless don't you worry there will be a Spirit by second gun round map three need to make a mark need to make a dent yeah rain still operating with an MP9 7K in the bank be loving that it's a very good start a great start that look if this was back and forth and they were having to fight and scrap for these rounds like the pistol round came to a one-on-one short but since oneway traffic here we go same philosophy carrian made it clear game plan play Phase Counter Strike robs noted almost certainly going to have be noted that the flash came through Choppers tending to the potential for ladder but this just puts so many spanners in the work of the game plan of spirit because you don't know what's going to be thrown at you in what rounds so that's why in the first gun round the fact that they just went heavy towards a very standard very simple stuff as far as vertigo is concerned well if you go for something a little bit more default heavy there's a lot more to worry about fires off the MP9 sold out towards B for now but when is robs going to activate they're waiting for this there's a minute 10 on the clock yeah if anything he's just slowed them down feel like they have to clear him out or they can't go anywhere well that's Magic's he's giv it a go but robs is trying to catch these timings intermittently just taking glances Magic's the same look how one man's push has slowed down the crawl of team spirit had a minute go by nothing's happened faing I mean in terms of the power robs has through a position alone and his restraint as well on these clears now he starts to cook 40 seconds and they have to commit towards the site Frozen carrian Ready themselves no youtil to sto out a plan if there is an execute coming their way and what we can see there definitely is RS maneuvering on that flank magic is the one responsible for it but Frozen the caragan that need to be able to want keep the wolf from the door down goes D it's big from caragan look at the damage choer sonx Hanging On by a threat full flash caragan converts what is that from Magic time time if he could just get him off the ball a fake it's done it's five they can't catch him magic despite the double broke he's gone oh take a breath that one got intense everybody over towards a biffin lock and horns and back and forth we went Magic's getting two two on the flank there must have been someone to join the party alongside of robs right there but Spirit five in the hole and a second tactical timeout this is not the start that they were looking for this is not the the start you were expecting no not at all I thought FaZe was going to get devoured here especially with the CT side start right that pistol that could have changed the entire conversation so far if Spirit have won that fa had to take an Eco first gun round the tone gets set they're the ones that pistol dictating the pace right the fact that carrian wins the oneon-one now they're five rounds to the good and here he's found impact as well stalls out coming out short completely blind what three bullets left gets another kill four kills in the blink of an eye broy denies the plant five on the board those are the type of rounds that I thought fa would have to be Vine for look at carrigan's reaction here like it's just almost he's he's in sheer bewilderment that this score reads 5-0 a scaff smoke and a frozen push they need the smoke to try and find him Chopper throws a couple of bullets down range but Frozen he lives on Molotov will force him back bit more of a direct approach for the start zk's been licked down to 50 HP with a rain and robs Duo so m under demand as it were but very of nowhere to be seen ztics heard that yeah late sweep of middle from this pair car and broky good Soul utility that's a great little combo set fros is just delaying them so while they play for info towards mid towards B they sweep make sure there's no real threats that now allows them to rotate back some good vertigo so far from face well they Prime this time they've got util to stop this yeah not far off the mark more util well placed oh and car's aggression takes down Chopper 40 seconds caragan multi kill Madness as Frozen will take TK Magic's left alone one V5 what's a man to do what can you do nothing this is astonishing right now unbelievable you hited it perfectly Chad the the protocols are in place delay util push for info rotate the util they were barraging them with as well spirit's ears were ringing they had to fight so hard to win nuke did spirit and I thought that would be a catalyst to see them Propel forward with confidence going into a map that they know face don't play don't play well right now has one kill ztics has zero Spirit have zero rounds there's an AK in the mix in the hands of Don yet again some upgrades just staying stalled once more Yellow Smoke pressure on rain up and over Don will get an entry there's a way in it's going to be problematic robs onto dong Cho has found a gap as well broi however he's holding firm it's a two on three with 50 seconds left the bomb going to be getting escorted up towards the a site bomb has been planted retake is on is there a round to be had here from team spirit they're wondering where on Earth is the resistance where are the sound cues there's no one here silently creeping broy now with's a fast get to cross oh no oh no how does it go down like that it was supposed to be a Spirit Round oh dear what can you say unbelievable the pressure is on isn't it the fact that the shots not being hit in a situation like that the pistols up close a spirit still yet to get around this half has gotten away from the Magics off for the fight robs Falls bit of peping the step early something that doesn't come so late first an opening pick for team spirit that they've come few two and far between so it's going to be very important that they can convert this yeah they just need to get something on the board please not like this rain the B anchor we're learning it we're learning on the job here Chad it feels like every time they played this map there's slightly been something different and you have to go really back in the books seven times in total with uh the four phase members without the addition of Frozen Ram control this time Round And as you said you have to convert this one you got the opening pick you've got util for an exec just get the bomb in play the post BL yeah it sounds simple doesn't it right ouch there's the zentz util a h between the two of them oh more damage inflicted upon arrival still though they have the man Advantage who will tip the scales it's a big one from Shir takes down rain carrian on the fast flank no one's looking chopper is gets the info that should have pretty much seal the first Spirit round here now it's carrian he's going to be condemned Chopper knows exactly where he is just have to deal with this to alleviate pressure but gives one back harrian he's trying to get out with his life I would assume so they got plenty of cash don't they but I guess at very best Spirit could grab himself five rounds in total is he really really try to stop them from saving as much yeah well broken joined as well so just trying to do some damage to the finances they're going to have to push forward if they want to save and creeping istic spotting out frozen have been able to find themsel an Escape Route car all the way up towards the scaffolding bomb goes off terrorist and there it is finally Spirit are able to get them themselves around on the board maybe we have a map after all would have to be now wouldn't it seven just flying out of the gates from faing it's still that sentence came out of your mouth about how different it would feel if that carrian and Chopper pistol round went the other way you know it really put FaZe in Prime position grian leading by example has put them in Prime position now for round nine if they can find an eigh hit team spirit surely it's their moment to make a half out of this couple of rounds on the truck going to be required and if FaZe just continue to save they could even have rifles for the remainder of this first half of play Spirit were given an opening pick in the previous that was RS with the aggression this time restrained but the bombardment of B available look at this full Lobby control the assault on the side this is difficult to deal with at the best of times a barrage of you futility Fain or rain futility or not magix has gone down donk has found a perfect opportunity lovely fight Don destroys three he's here now he's here at present run down pushed by carrian the star of the phas clan show he set Frozen up with something manageable one versus two a kit present bomb to be planted shirro punching in the code it's jober in support what do you have here Mr sansi he's found the first it's big from Shiro goes wide for it makes it a second for team spirit D having a conversation there about some of the pieces he used to but he did his job in choer with a wipe of the eyes you can see the pressure definitely on Frozen with a real opportunity to be able to convert that one time out for faas maybe just catching their breath want to walk away with a half with a couple more if they can with how this started again I'm still just catching up you know we come into this the expectations of phas you know car's been cooking something but just the sheer fact that they were able to get to a 70 start feels that job done somewhat only available another B this is Don still three piece from him and then the chaos right there's absolute chaos coming out broi aggressive with the all it's not a bit of a timer how long can he stay here flash off Peaks back ztics open up the angle we'll have to respect it another attempt on the clear I'm so amazed that Frozen lives on here this is a position that many a player gets punished oh he had a chance there shirro Alive and Kicking good chip damage though phes protocols do seem quite well-rounded I'm impressed that Frozen was so St but they need to be disruptive it was the same conversation on N right you could see when K was wanting to push a lot they couldn't just allow them to set up and execute and they're trying to do the same you want to have Spirit agitated you don't want them to allow to just be able to play through the game and go into their executes take the space as they would cuz fa are going to have a tougher time dealing with set pieces they haven't been in those situations they don't know how to deal when the smokes and Molly Hit the Floor something that they'd probably only be playing against in pugs so Spirit seem to have found a way back into this half nice clear from robs that's important from carrian taking down Chopper three versus three low HP getting that bomb down integral bomb has been retake his Ono oh rain narrowly missed his window of opportunity to try and hit the spam if they go for this and they lose everything you have big problems for the phase finances you can see they're almost already starting to position as if they're not going I say tell a lie actually robs is throwing out the smoke short that limits Don's options here hoping broy can hit something are they going or are they not they are starting to move now with broky down a tickle on the bomb and an easy tap Don just walks out of the smoke hiding in plain sight is robs knows Don's going to be on the retreat as well maybe some damage a whole lot of damage takes down the or robs will meet Don but what does that mean on the grand ski it's 7 to3 yeah if they were able to pull those saves through we definitely could see a purchase now this is where likely to see FaZe just take a couple of light Investments a few Liberties maybe more than that se carrian actually buying M4 and drunk but it looks like they're going to go all in they're going to shove towards the center of the table with this one an M4 some MP9 deagle and a fam they're going to fight for the rest of the half Spirit are in a great position to be able to secure five rounds oh very blind Don Adventures cut short this is a lot of space early they're up it's kind of a direct approach and carrian yeah he tried his L Don was ahead of it going for a bit of a run and Gun with the MP9 quick one back from Frozen he's definitely in form is frozen ax while flashed removes him from the equation yeah this one falling apart piece by piece this is not really the type of guns you hope to be saving either into the final round of play for this half that's true fam and an MP9 just dealt with that 1 M4 carrian didn't even hesitate buying that and dropping that towards Frozen but being diligent as spirit so they've worked back into things that's going to be forced to que up with the bomb going down 40 seconds on the clock both broi and robs out of range maybe they want to try and do some damage again team spirit and see if they can upgrade their weapons into something a bit juicier Chopper's already starting to have a look with the Mac 10 in hand see if he can buy them as a safe passage out but this is already in my mind considered half recovered oh for sure I mean you like you discussed it it had to be then after the seven anything more would become almost insurmountable but Spirit finding their their feet I say spirit I think majority of them sure but I have to acknowledge zonk's absence he's having a rough go of things isn't he 09 yet to get activated in map number three not to say he can't yeah it's just uh look it's part of he's going to do his better work on the CT side for so he he's not really an opening piece for them on the T half but still not having any kills it can start to play on your mental for some of these younger players as well something that sticks out like a sore thumb every time you hit tab yeah you get into your own head about it start shying away from from engagements that are favorable like uh early nade right on your face do you keep taking that Beast space it looks like he will going through his procedes this time Frozen's going to be set up with a little boost action Carri gets him all set up son has done his job right without any kills sure but he's been able to get the B Lobby space so he's applied pressure kept two Defenders over towards the other side of the map a massive Gap isn't there Alex look at middle nobody attending to that whatsoever for phas just pretending it doesn't exist and Don down that's exactly what that boost was searching for an eighth Round Up For Debate opening frag found but still the Weaponry Advantage for Spirit they're swinging for this swinging for the fenses one for two Chopper good onto Frozen three versus three rotations on their way bomb on the back of magics this flash could be yeah mistimed it's broki that's calling for it and Magic's dead immediate snap straight from broi the lvan strong well this is the time ztics could have impact help B them out in number disadvantage situation for five there's a chance ztics about to be double Peak it's Chopper actually getting oh run down strong aim finds rain oh and sonx he builds around after all it's into the clutch for brok finding Chopper ZX flash him get across he's going that's crazy but he have to commit to the plan czy what the hell is this he's not falling for it now time to plan what's going on no not like that oh ztics he's overthought it there he had 12 seconds broy calls his bluff you can see what was trying to take sha Brokey just too wise to his game that's pressure what do you make of that that's pressure that's that that's written all over his face the fact that he's gone for that type of maneuver right he could have tried to a plant safe side in the sight would have been able to get it down the player was condemned toward short and that's the option he's gone for that right there is the definition of pressure in front of everybody's eyes but like that's such a fumble of a play he gets his first kill in round number 12 Chopper's probably screaming that the n's done some damage there it is and he designes to high it towards B he had to commit and I think the penny dropped as he started making that maneuver because if he got to the S he just has to punch the digits in and broy can run him down that is such a fumble that's a gift he's given them there an eighth round for fa to work with for a semifinal spot 8 to four broy what having one hell of a vertigo performance and Magic's just going to be swatting out early well this is the thing you have Ely no idea what FaZe going to do on the pistol you can't go back and watch the last few demos and go oh they like to go for this type of maneuver sure oh Z still gets given the je oh no it's gugan again onto ztics I thought that was looking like a spirit pistol but kept level by carrian handiwork he's up mid Chopper's going to be tending to it but R is a bit further forward than he anticipates oh rocked with a double up straight into B all of that just mirrors and fakery has robs out mid for the double to make a ninth round reality on their Perma ban can you quite believe it DRS oh and Frozen hyping up his boys Captain carrian can almost taste the semi-finals now well they've tipped the pistols in their favor for the series it's 4 to2 L share and they've got spir on the ropes car going to look like an absolute genius if they end up pulling this one off just four more rounds required now to secure this map there's big conversation in the leadup certain games in the map Pool na'vi versus EF well na'vi ban vertigo EF don't play ancient that's na'vi weakness you had this series W phase dare try and play into vertigo a map that's been discussed as a bit of a spirit weakness and well apparently it is truth to that narrative indeed five rounds to the good our pH and again we find ourself team spirit having to take this Eco and every single time it seems like they give donad deagle and hope that he can be the Difference Maker and he can't oh no Ray nearly gets three I was wondering if they'd be you know aware of the Nuance clears required against some of these boosts but rain makes it comfortable this is stunning work and they are keeping the face you know it's it's business casual they're not celebrating too hard it's been one hell of a series and it's not over yet they're trying to forget what happened in katav vitza that too that best of five grand final over in the blink of an eye K looked absolutely devastated on that stage and spirit were making an aim for themsel the Ascension to the top it happened awfully quickly we're in disbelief but someone like Don could perform at that level his first big event pick up a trophy of that caliber but fa they've been hard at work this is where the international Squad the rockstars do their absolute best work some trickery in The veto calling the bluff and I'm wondering right now if Spirit of thinking hey maybe we should have gone with ancient well it's too late for that [Music] Miss youtil ouch that one will leave a mark Chopper good for one it's frozen onto the zom tick swing he needed one there instead it's a man disadvantage they don't have to rush this Chad bomb on the back of broi I feel like if you're Spirit you have to gamble right still hesitant to leave his donk where are you magix is under so much pressure pulling up now good work from Magic down goes Shiro and it's all onto donk rock in a hard place Molotov at a smoke bullet from robs into Frozen and we've got 11 11 to four folks FaZe can play ver too it seems and a timeout called we were wondering when we'd see this it looks like you've got ztics you can see the body language slam back in his chair a miserable first half he could have really remedied the situation with that clutch situation but the fact that he lost that in the fashion that he did the holes only gotten deeper and deeper the map that you go into where you can't even prep for your opponent and you picked it you kind of feel like you've kind of died on your own fallen on your own sword here a little bit and this 30 seconds from hi would have to be some of the most inspired stuff he's probably ever said to this iteration of the spirit team this is more than a hole that they're in right now this team coming into the major it's a black hole top of the pops tip of the conversation and right now well Alex they're going all in they are going all in they're not willing to give over 12 to f with a discrepancy like this they have gone for the for SP four MP9 in a fam face you've broken them this is brutal and for the first time in what feels like forever by the pistol Chopper he's pushing down ramp aggressive I was more interested in that mid space they found a gap dumping util some rifles behind carrian and his SMG smoke and go so much chaos I mean oh the spam oh Magic empty-handed double from Rock it's D go stub getting himself a double to make this round a potential reality B has lost retake is on hased no kit smoke available though Don knows he's got to be proactive about this he's being loud about this clearing his Corners oh he Nails the first this jober to trade and spirit get a little bit of life a little bit of Hope with MP9 in a Famas and a chopper clutch to make it five oh that was all donkey middle wasn't it that MP9 coming through how does carrian swing around he had no idea where he's even getting shot from Magic's up in the window position on construction just feels like he's unloading the full mag and still can't get it done a tight round they do live to see another day great from Don this one as he swings in towards the side beautiful robotic and a great trade from the leader yeah really hanging the balance of that it had to be Don and he's uh well it's the first of what would need to be many for this dialogue to shift it's already so dominant AK-47s out in force pressure from Frozen towards the Beast side a n and a swing good work Donan magic put their heads together and find an opening change of plans whatever was lined up a new conversation apply pressure towards middle yet again they' missed that twice that same Molotov hasn't hit the mark going to try and buy them see indecision how they want to op forward I thought he was lining up the Molly to land top of scaffolding towards a robs just going to search middle drve turns to it there it is they're Flying Blind on RAM fortunately for them they threw it and nobody followed through FAS are so far away from even being able to use that piece of utility that carrian just lobbed forward looks like robs wants to join them there smokes and flashes and a Molly to finish on towards a yeah it is quite a split up defense good timing on that smoke Gap limits car's options starting to cheat a third over sh is risky will join they are erecting a boost so risky and bro is going to go down but it leads to the double oh no three on three rain will PL he's open to the spray oh shirro if only he knew an opportunity presented itself carrigan's double now it has to be more from carrian Partners up with Robs a jump shot attempt from Don here we go carrian takes down donk clung for robs does he call the bluff I think he does I think he does it's a 10-second diffuse if they go for it now the audible on the hold it was a wide diffuse and he's going to get the first he's going to get them both rups Paul's face right to the 12 as carrian rounds that corner at short and he sees a stack you can't believe it I I'd be licking my lips you're under so much pressure to go for a play like that like it doesn't make any sense to do a boost in that moment they can scale at ramp they can push through short that is such a risky maneuver from Spirit and I think that again just backs up how much pressure that they feel that they're under bizarre it's so uncharacteristic to go like the only reason you're going for that is if you think you don't have any info they've just opted to to play for some info and they just get absolutely destroyed and then robs coming in clutch there's no kit they're not playing together Spirit of falling apart the scams FaZe have ripped them apart they're just one round away and carrian on home soil will get his revenge little technical timeout chance for us all to uh screw our heads on time because this has happened yeah I can't quite believe where we're here now a 70 start after a carrian one one in the pistol it's just so crazy to be going for a boost like that I still can't believe what I'm seeing I still can't believe that carrian gets another frag there look at Frozen standing up they are so close FaZe was so flustered this is the major favorit about to be eliminated yes sir yes indeed many people thought the phase would make it entertaining but Spirit were set to collect at least a grand final attendance flash donk they really want to force him into these fights and he happy to stand and bang ztics forward push robs and anticipating aggression Zonk still not dissuaded going for something a bit more aggressive he's supported by shirro SMGs leave it into a three on three you'll take that if your spirit you've still got donm for close look at ztics on the camera again just in Don fed look at it hands on the head already he feels like he should have done more of positioned out position no smoke he goes for the swing phase two single frags away magic and Chopper fate in their hands elimination from the major if he can't make this round work broky wide magic tries fails it's all on to Chopper to keep team spirit's major home or robs with 18 seconds on the clock to knock team spirit out of Copenhagen he gets the bomb down playing around the smoke Chopper Six Bullets Six Bullets is all he needs cuz we need another round I I I have no idea how they're going to pull them themselves out of this though just just again the body language from ztics like how shut down he is as an individual I'm not just putting this all on him it's the team overall it's the team as a whole this is would be the craziest of comebacks would need to be inspired by I want to say the veterans of the team but they're not even really veterans right they've been in major playoffs before the likes of choer and Magic Shaw different iterations of rosters you turn to Shiro he's another name that you'd want to step up in a moment like this yeah for Shiro he was trying to escape the uh the quarterfinal limbs trying to escape the high pressure matches falling flat you just need one more round fa are going to take a moment of pause why not they've got another one in the back pocket should they require they just need one round Chad a single round of Counter Strike already 12 in the bank and we'll see how this went down nice little double up right you have shirro there essentially baiting for ztics to try and set him up for a couple of kills he did did contribute the way he needed to pois on the clutch again another Chopper one-on-one to essentially keep them alive FaZe after the timeout have decided to keep things quite modest so expect a slower scenario if this one gets out of control at all I won't quite believe it a late deagle purchase in spawn so we've got a pair of those Tech n for robs and what should be one of the easiest rounds Spirit have played in this map so far yeah shouldn't be too much to say about this one carrigan's just set a let up Don not shy happy to make the noise Magic's the unknown entity oh that I thought he would have heard that magx hasn't acknowledged it Alex no he hasn't but this boost is what he's been waiting for thank you very much magic collects a carrian clock just a a reminder yeah of what happened on marage yeah well as mentioned it should have been one of the easiest rounds one casually that spine and that's all it's going to be D grab another they are dealing with the finest of margins right now can't give up a single round have to mount a mammoth comeback going to need to get five more consecutive to make it seven on the trop mirroring how FaZe were able to open up this map this would be quite the comeback a comeback for the ages but if you're ever positioned to do so on your opponent's Perma ban that they floated would be the best place to be able to pull that off I'd say I'd agree one would assume that when a and b stop working there maybe not a plan C donk in Middle this time magx and Chopper responsible for H the Beast sight bomb's moving that way a test for Don test for robs he just starts to maneuver away now thinks twice about it Rob SP it out dong controls the spray beautifully heading back to a opening frag found playing around that tside smoke he's a nuisance is Don back to away it's say carrian next victim of donk ztics is hearing steps can call the Cavalry over 38 seconds 3v5 disadvantage ztics feels like he's under a lot of pressure Crossfire one anti flash big head shot from rain but here comes Frozen we needed to see more 20 seconds broky still has a world where he can finish it right here Here and Now fakes the steps away fakes the steps away had his chance with Magics now knows where they both are he could do this this could be Spirit eliminated unless Magic's one more bullet one more bullet he extends holding on a clutch from Chopper and now a clutch from magix it's still sketchy the the fact that he gets a full reload off there is insane it's just so so sketchy what is that setup as well nobody acknowledging the the opportunity for anybody to come out short it's kind of insane what we're seeing go the fact that they scrap through yet again I'll remind everybody this was a 5v3 number Advantage thanks to Don that turns out to be another oneon-one situation and the pressure in all of these moments bomb goes down diffuse comes through money there for FaZe to partially invest they're going to go fast towards r with these flashes okay ztics feeling the scrutiny they've got a boost though it should be good for one shirro Dismounts they've got the bodies here plenty of util to spare just a full barrage of H grenades and molotovs incendiaries to be specific Carri get cleared nice head shot from Shiro starting to warm into things ouch nothing for Frozen there and robs was the man throwing the flashes to facilitate that push polar opposite side of the map right now magic still had to rotate away yeah what's the best case here an M4 a confidence boosting kill I would imagine but this is the thing now that all five get to stay alive we have just had a disconnect from the server so we'll be going into another quick little technical I'm not sure if these help or hinder Spirit right because it gives them a few more moments but they have to sit in silence they can't Converse they can't sit there and discuss how they're going to move forward they kind of just get to sit and sour in the fact that they still need to three more consecutive rounds yeah but that feels to me like it's in the Realms of possibility it's just these these uncharacteristic type of Maneuvers that they're opting for in scenarios make them look weak susceptible to a round loss it's just going to take one of those where it isn't converted in a na biting one-on-one situation and it's all done we'll just call it in terms of should it be you know a real opportunity for Spirit to be able to bring it back yeah but there's just been some really interesting choices made and again you can see the pressure on their faces ZX is the embodiment of that yeah and when you you hear counter- strike players Legacy Counter-Strike players reflecting upon the games the ones they won the ones they didn't it's much less the wins that stand out you never forget the bad losses more the losses the advantages you had and [Applause] squandered four in a row so far Spirit have been battered and bruised two clutches in those four rounds down to one V ones fa just need that one that one exception to what is fast becoming the rule they've avoided all early utility damage full focus in the ranks ztics good info play yeah he's flirting with some aggression here Don back in his heidy hole there's no one home this is a massive push yeah he's gotten a great deal of information he should just play to contain he doesn't need to go any far forward now they have all the info they have all the info ztics fortunate frag does that slow your role you have no choice if you face you kind of have to finish B yeah but look at the setup this setup couldn't really be better Don just going to sit here for as long as he can spotted by Magic magix is going to be the one to oh ooh magix gets his smoke down Frozen still trying to force this going in hard swung on by Don kept Hest Flames oh nice head shot takes down rain only two left it's robs it's broy but they have found dark if they got more here robs double swing shirro closes all right all right then two more rounds required and we would see another OT this is where the strap book starts to run a little bit dry right because for Faz you will have come up with a bunch of different approaches you can even see when they're trying to line up utility they're not always certain double checking the dots saw broy there as well highight by our OBS team just making sure that he has the correct lineup available for the U that they're opting for and isues are going to become more in the mid rounds when it's slower if it's quicker and they can find an entry and BR force their way into a sight that's great because they can just play heads up Counterstrike this is their third tactical timeout the last that fasu gets a call unless we make it to overtime and this push from ztics the fact that he played to contain the fact that he hit that one he's a body shot specialist really clean carrian has been on some absolute Menace form rolling Back The Years 19 kills for him in this one he's been finding impact throughout the series he really wants to push forward in towards that semi-final and take on Vitality that would be one hell of an affair as well but if if I'm pH now I'm doing something quite fast with these pistols I I I really want to cause some chaos and and see if I can push through the smoke and catch them off guard throws out an early L smoke will limit some of the early info for team spirit they have enough to do this again right they can throw another lur smoke towards the r they have three remaining here it is so so this is one way to keep keep a lot of boots planted towards a keeps them spamming keeps them worried can there be any pop flashes through and now they're going to actually try and pressure over towards B so B Lobby they know that's theirs a ramp they can return to how unfortunate is Phase or how fortunate a spirit going to be with some of these blind spams through the smoke they got two players here it's just Chopper and ztics there's a world ztics and Chopper they just have to be vigilant here here lesser guns Kevlar and pistols plenty of support rotations arrived in it Don C at the Forefront of this he's going to be oh looking away a tech 9 bullet found his head broke his deagle has found one and now carrian CA it a h up big from ztics combined with Don defend important if they get to overtime and they win this map and they lock them themselves in towards the semifinals you can forget about that 09 you can forget about that play Clutch none of that's going to matter just one more round he talks about not feeling pressure this kid has managed to turn it around back against the wall responding to FaZe Clan's run of seven with seven of their own if they want to bring this back and we talked about mental I'd argue phases is going to be completely at least shaken if Spirit can complete this run what's the final call of Regulation is there a need for overtime Rangers a distraction they're in towards B Lobby he's just kicking up a fast and he's kept three sets of boots planted as Frozen that's been parked now as well so back and forth they go oh damage through the smokees ontic chipped on down to half HP that's unconfirmed damage Shiro's awp posted up they're clearing out the right side so he can just keep posted with that or that'll free up these rotation of rifl shir's got to respect that playing ahead of it ooh The Flash was good but the cover is better it's something tis with impact gets away as well carrian go for a hunt they try and isolate magic but he stands his ground Z's dog team spirit do not relent do not surrender oh a magic straight clean through the smoke onto robs and a carrian 1v5 with 30 seconds on the clock they got 12 but seems like so did team spirit we need more overtime secure one hell of a comeback the mental fortitude on display this is Counter Strike at its best Counter Strike two no less I can't believe they brought that that back with how wobbly some of those rounds were a chopper clutch a magic clutch Chopper had two Chopper had two 1 V one scenarios that he had to convert within this second half of play I I can't believe they brought this back with how shaken they looked and Fa with so many opportunities this is where their inexperience on the map has started to shine through yeah and you want have you got depth in your playbook coming into OT you're right back in trying to isolate magic he's safe and sound on the site have to take some more risks now to try and find some rounds but by doing that they can play into spirit's hands oh broi had a real opportunity there Jaa and [Music] shirro have opened up the account into OT speaking about if car wins this is going to look like a genius in The veto what about the opposite yeah what about that nice what about that carrian taking down ztics on a jiggle and Don does things that's one hell of a wide swing robs and donk an interesting matchup in the meantime shirro actually he wasn't holding this line so Chopper will clear it oh excuse me carrian and Frozen piecing together an impossible round Shiro's not going to jump up look for a plant here can see the kit present oh and the Damage connecting good awareness from Magic's not letting him get away and reset and look at the demeanor oh that is one hell of a 180 Chad they're smiling well everything's reset now we're in overtime the whole dialogue shifts the fact that they've been able to bound back into things they've had to do this a tough way twice there was overtime where they were in the lead on nuke in multiple occasions they were to close and they couldn't do it they couldn't get it done FaZe kept pushing and pushing and pushing them until eventually they had to cross the line This Time It's a completely different conversation they were 12 to5 down and we do have a couple of spirit supporters in the building yeah but they were 12 to five down Madness absolute mad 12 to five all the boxers that they're ticking right this team they've only come to Ascension in recent time winning catava was great they put the stamp on they come into this major as the favorites but they're going up against FaZe the conversation was oh well we've already seen this once unless FaZe show up on the stage it's probably going to be another blowout fa show up they win Mirage played it 11 times Spirit only lost it once and FaZe pick up that map there we go to Nuke it delivers it gives us the entertaining Counter Strike that we're looking for but something that's different for spirit is their mental gets tested yeah and now completely down and in the dirt ztics his body language throughout this game the flub the clutch the lack of kills and they're back they're in the lead and Don just 17 25 Frags 13,000 hours of Counter Strike ORS perfect for this sherro oh the restraint doesn't fall for the jiggle it's caragan down and out into our second round of OT good chip damage that Nate swallowed by donk H good success still a man Advantage as a smoke plumes B oh shirro couldn't hit the shot there rain's been having a tough time on this map but not today not in round with a good head shot chiro reping again and again he wants to try and bait him in but yeah down goes sonx that's a big round from rain came into this round with nine he could get another here he knows Shiro's around good fight 5 S connects robs does not reveal himself it's a three on three here going a yeah he's hearing a lot of this robs reporting in shirro on the site here's that misses his shot what is that rotation cut down it's big from robs Don CT Shiro elevate a bomb planted a could deal with robs but he's going to slink away sh's going to got one more shot before he has to reload if he could just find one of them Frozen crouching he'll be a dead man otherwise smoking a kit though could get uncomfortable here going to diffuse he's just going to hold it he's just going to hold it sherro oh 1 in pce broy with just half a second in it the butterfly nice between his shoulder BL and that was rain in that round with the impact towards middle lasts the second lur and the fact that they kill ztics and Chopper that's the a Defenders the call is immediately let's rotate back it should be an empty sight she are aware of that haven't traversed the difficult territory but those are the type of rounds that FS are going to need to continue to win the now B is the es the ones where individ individuals can break them through it's hard at all and it continues to do so let's go rain this was his little Spotlight highlight getting himself the double Rob's good awareness hearing Magic's coming with this from broky look at this diffuse line look at the diffuse look at that he had to get the knife out no bullets no time he secures a 13 each score line first OT first to 16 tough round for spir they've actually had to opt in with two MP9 W so facilitating utility in a round like this they've forgone the Firepower it's Chopper and ztics the a Defenders needing to do it with the pocket rockets so FaZe could walk away with two rounds on the T side clearer intent they're going to be heading towards a a little bit quicker team flashes nades cop and everything there rain ztics with an entire team pressuring him he passes the test carrian Flash and swing sonx will take that every day can he leave with the upgrade yes he can grabs the AK Slips Away man Advantage for team spirit here space towards B look the side's completely empty magic is just they're so noisy it's just some of the little flubbed moment but will it cost them magic is not in the side yeah the still away heading up now flash High magic he's got to try and get as deep in as he can forced back by the util they just trapped at Jens that's a good smoke to at least give them some room to maneuver forward Channel look at this Chopper uses it charges forward it doesn't matter though if everyone hit those shot pH oh running him down was Don with only the double ztics handed opportunity Don found two if he can find the same team spirit will swap half with the man Advantage with the round Advantage just ztics rain low HP no reason not to give this a go they don't know and ztics clearing this is the contact this is the clear r with HP gets the angle and it will be a phase two t rounds in our first overtime that feels like a a mammoth task they've set the bar pretty high chat yeah and now we're going to swap hero obviously with the cash for Spirit to work with and they would back into control once uh they were able to stabilize in that first half of Play It Was a 7-0 start from phase a good comeback from Spirits to get themselves something to work with going into half time Don felt like he was just going to lock it down single-handedly didn't he the bodies get thrown if robs didn't stall him out there that was probably it but Frozen happy with how that one feels NOP for broky they're just going to go with five rifles aggression from robs this is what they were doing in the early stages right they were being a disruptive Force they were in the face of spirit making sure they couldn't just default and take their time that's how they were getting rounds they were able to slow it down nice trajectory there Frozen throws it out to imply thrown from Ellie those little details four leaning ramp here Frozen do you really want to go for this you can see that there is a util set prepped holding the smoke was Chopper orable good work punishes Frozen's push through the smoke 40 seconds Brokey ahead of the util smokes are up the Molly towards head shot it's grian on this re agress oh one two broky taking down donk this is all to play for with 30 seconds the bomb the pressure is on Magic great clear great trade broy nailing shots rain builds upon it it's up once more onto ztics in the 1 V2 ah he doesn't look like he's up for it doesn't look like he's up for it at all 12 seconds yeah there just no chance he's out of his depths M oh no I mean pick up the bomb they're going to surely double Peak you you got to plant you got to plant oh not like that 15 secure for Clan it's so tough to see a player get swallowed by the stage like this it's so sof to watch think about all these clutch situations that he's found himself in he's found some contributions late sure but in any of these situations where you know needs to show a bit of shine a bit of Polish he's ju just looked well out of his depths it's tough there's no doubt about that this is his first major the first time on the stage you can understand it but it's just difficult to watch because you can see the brain wearing but it's just not making sense it's not far on all cylinders but broi certainly is not his first major by any stretch and he's in Pursuit Of Glory here in Copenhagen team spirit they seem like the boogeyman of Copenhagen another Spirit comeback required I can't believe they did it once this time they have to do it on the T side I'm not sure how they meant to even get into a round like this they were able to get the aramp space it was given over they get the opening kill Chopper sing Frozen's push and then they just can't get past the rest of the defense from phase on a so even if they go for similar scenes someone needs to break through with a multi right it can't just be one done trade it's not enough the full fiveman unit committing R ramp so much at stake here folks double smoke broy he's playing with fire here yeah it's going to cost him his life big find Magics gives Spirit hope but they still have to get past it's caragan M4 only the one bomb on Chopper bringing it in escorted through rain and robs with it all to do not enough to bring down sherro grade bricks him low post plant seems pretty solid I say that as Chopper goes down with no trade Magic's surely going to be overlooked though that's a power position shirro might be down and now they know about Magic's not like this it's a clutch and it's zonix with it all to do a smoking a kit Chad dear a smoke and a kit zonix can you hold your nerve he's been having a tough time and he still holds his nerve we see another round of play I thought it was curtain I thought it was going to be that round he replays in his head at night tonight but he holds on and he extends play no change in expression but again left in a clutch situation once more oh my God I started seeing the Runing on the wall CH and you can understand why rain just immediately goes I'm just diffusing this kid ain't got it yeah oh my gosh okay all of these rounds that was a 2v4 retake on the side yeah but it got close it I again crazy the amount of One V ons in this game unbelievable okay different call are out of the gate got your early protocol sonx actually looks like he's feeling himself tries to go searching for any easy fights on Double Stack no one home oh W donk takes down broky as the opening contra rtion they want more Frozen doesn't they know there's two they know there's two suck short nice FR magic puts Frozen down forced to watch the rest of this round mid lug still set up for ztics and you got a man Advantage Spirit 30 seconds can you get another OT or will you trip over will FaZe take it by force that's a big find oh dear shirro what got can he get B maybe he could but Z towards mid going around the world it will be audible got a gap but wait robs he's going to the back no turn around oh sonx it's massive 9 seconds though it can still go wrong sonx down 5 Seconds dead a face man knock de Spirit out what a way to do it it was gritty it was dirty it was never per ban but FaZe SL play the dragon what a game of Counter Strike
