If there are angels, why don't they hold me when I wait on the line?
Hello, how you still with me?
Hello, how, how, how, how you still with me?
If there were angels, why not this green land?
Where am I skinned for the sun?
And if there were angels, why won't they hold me when I am waiting for my life?
I swore the last time I swore that I could quit
But my body says to the wise
But my body says to the wise
I'm drawn and in your touch
Holding hands with admiration
I swore it was the last time I swore that I could quit
But my body says otherwise, but my body says otherwise, I'm drawn and in your touch.
Holdin' hands within the rush
I'm dreamin' of your kiss
But I'm not believein'
To surrender yet
In this moment with you
We're not no man, we're in here
Oh, oh, oh, keep it moving
Inside, I feel my body of you
Oh, oh, oh, get to me
I can see the light in you
Oh, oh, oh, keep it moving
Inside, I feel my body of you
What the fuck?
Is this?
Is this?
Do we have it?
No!
I'm Inspector Brad Churchill from the Crisis Management team.
What did you see, recount every detail?
I just started my shift. It would have been 9.40, 9.45.
I'd only just been started cleaning.
And it was then, when we were doing the main pipeline,
We found the body.
Is there anything else with the body?
Nothing unusual. I mean we called you guys up straight away.
It looked like it had been there a while.
Now it's just been all the muck and the filth.
Thank you so much.
At the moment, there has not been any suspect identified, but we are working quite hard
behind the scenes, trying to establish exactly where the suspect would have planned.
There is evidence of foul play here at the crime scene, and my heart goes out to all
effective parties, family, friends and everyone out there that has seen or witnessed this devastating, devastating crime scene.
Thank you for all of your condolences and we will work into the late hours of the night to make sure that this suspect does not get away. Unpunished.
My name is Josh, so what else do you need to know?
My crosshair settings, or which FKS I prefer, none of that matters.
Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose.
Looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting, and yes I admit, something
more dangerous.
So after 18 hours in the back of an airplane, 3 dumb movies, 2 plastic meals, 6 monsters and absolutely no sleep,
I finally touch down in Malta.
Hey bro, wanna buy some skins man? Wanna buy some skins?
Hey boss man, P250 San June, $2, good price for you man.
What you want? You want hardware? Software?
And this is it. Broly.
No leak. Good time timing.
We can be intel grand slam.
Where blood, sweat and tears turn into trophies.
This is where the bonfroggers come to feed.
You look like a sheriff, man. I don't judge.
Here's a question for you. How about a basic game with randoms? Come on, man.
No, thanks.
What's wrong with randoms? You a little scared?
Afraid to try something new?
I'm just not interested, that's all.
You and the oldie of the Titans always wanted to be so safe.
So never refuse an invitation.
Never resist the unfamiliar.
Never failed to be polite gentlemen
That was extra and never I'll say you're welcome
Wait, there's no right. Can you?

One on CT! One on CT!
He's coming short, most of the time.
Adam, switch first.
Solo, one more.
Mission, last.
Mises!
I am a nice guy all day long.
You can ask anybody.
I'm a pleasure to play with.
But when somebody baits me,
or somebody fails to trade me,
I just start yelling at them.
Just the way my brother used to do to me.
I hear the words coming out of my mouth and...
Sorry, sorry, I'm late. No cabs.
So get this.
I played as Hacker in Premier yesterday.
And I'm supposed to be try Hardin. It's my round-cup game.
But instead, I just start grilling this guy on his trigger bot.
I'm just in disbelief, like how there's literally zero skill involved.
And he only does is he press a button and he wins.
And this freak is ruining hundreds of people's games a day.
Like where is the fun in that?
Alex!
And I'm getting madder and madder and I ask him, I look him in the face and I say how can
you sleep at night knowing you're wasting the time of nine other people.
Just so you can see what, a number go up and you know what?
He TKs me.
He doesn't say a word, he just shoots me in the fucking head.
What the fuck is that?
Am I the one that fucked up in this scenario or is it this douchebag trying to make
me feel bad about myself?
Alex, we've talked about this numerous times.
You can't just come in and hijack the entire session.
I didn't hijack the session.
Did I hijack the session?
Yeah, yeah, you did.
Where are you?
I work in community feedback.
Good luck with that.
Alex, I know you've lost a lot of the Elo this year.
Maybe you want to talk about that.
I don't talk about that.
Hold on.
Gotta take this.
Grizz.
Yeah, no, I know.
This guy is just ruining everyone's enjoyment of the game.
How long can that last?
Bye everyone.
Jason Rogan podcast, check it out.
Hey, Jason, raw game, experience.
How was your day?
Jason Rogan podcast by night.
Well, this is probably gonna be one of our best episodes
of the Jason Rogan podcast.
Rushley, I'm excited to have you here.
It's a pleasure to be here. I mean, I listen to a lot of your episodes. I'm very excited to be here, bro. Yeah. Yeah
What is it you do exactly when you're working? What is it that you would say?
I just use a keyboard basically like a keyboard is I'm using this quite a lot. I'm very familiar with a keyboard
Mostly I only use like the top portion of the keyboard, but that's probably what I'm most known for top
So like the top half of the keyboard. Yes. Yeah. What do you say? You're the you do observing for the games?
Yes, correct. Yes. How do you feel about that? I feel good about that, you know
I basically just look at numbers all day running around a little map, which is you know might send some people insane
But for the most part it's kind of fun now
Every time I delve into the community and I do it frequently because as you know, I'm a man of the people you've seen this show plenty times
I
Was here complaints about the abjovers you guys just missing kills not spectating the wrong players spectator the wrong things
Missing the important information. Well, the thing is you know people think they know what they want
You know, but I like to go a little bit outside the box
You know, it's like sure four guys might be pushing it to one guy
But what that other guy is doing on the other side of the map is kind of important
You know, you really want to know what he is thinking at that moment
Yeah, so I want to know what that one person on the other side of the map is doing. Okay. That's yeah, that's good information
I know the casters have a lot of respect for you guys. You you're a pretty important part of the broadcast
I mean, yes, so once the game goes live, you know, it's on us and as a collective us is
Including the cast is of course, you know button presses in the back
You know you guys with your voice and stuff like that. So we are an integral part
You know we have to work together and create a strong bond
This seems like an insane job to be able to spend your whole life practicing a skill set of just using the top half of the
Keyboard so how exactly did you train and get into this this lifestyle?
I mean, you know those little hand crunch things. Yeah, I haven't used one of those
But I think one of those would help if I were to do that those things are great
I have a couple of them. Okay, they give you like a real fucking gorilla grip
Oh, really? Yeah. So if you if you get a that's a thing your fingers are going to just
be checked. If you have spares, I'll happily borrow them. Yeah, I got a guy. I'll have some set
over to your to your observing done. Oh, fantastic. Yeah. I also hear that you you run a little bit
of a podcast on your own called get get animated. Yes, get animated is a that's where we talk
about the animes that we're enjoying at the time, you know, we're pretty, that's what? Weird.
Anyway, we get very animated over anime. What's your favorite anime? My favorite. Oh,
Oh, just at the current moment, not at the time.
At the moment, I'm watching some solo leveling,
some Shangri-La Frontier,
watching a bit of a Pothrackery Diaries,
which is also quite nice.
There's a lot of good shows out there, though.
I happen to feel like anime is probably ruining society.
I mean, I could see why you say that.
But there's lots of different styles.
You wanna, I like watching some people punch people a lot,
and sure, I think there is a connection
between anime and violence in the real world.
Same with video games.
You're watching all this violence stuff.
It seeps into your brain,
You just become a bit violent like I understand what you say. It's like any kind of a diet you become the things that you're consuming
Any time you call my number, you'll have to see a choppy loader.
Any time you hit the lamp, you'll have to see a cop.
Any time you call my number, you'll have to see a cop.
Any time you hit the bank, you'll have to see a cop.
I just want the vision that is praying to you
Evacuation vision that you get down on my own
I made it this far, I ain't done it around
Just know I'm on the bottom of your ex's pleat of sins
Try to stay in reach
Reach
I'm on a tight range baby
Reach
I'm trying to stay in reach

B2B2, you're the overtime!
This is their danger!
This is their history!
Look at Magicz.
He's just two stand-ins there now.
Boss, I'm a queen.
For the last time,
No member of my team would ever break your mouse.
Hello, welcome to another episode of Getting Baked with Rush.
Today I'm joined by Threa.
Hi, thank you for having me.
I'm not a baker by trade, but I would like to be.
What are we going to do today? We're going to bake some brownies.
That's very exciting.
Why do you put brownies? Is there a lull behind the brownies?
No, really, it's just very delicious. Very fudgy, you know. The recipe we picked out today, it's a nice fudgy recipe.
First thing I like, a fudgy brownie compared to a flowery, like, cakey one, I don't know about you.
I agree. As long as it says, like, crispiness on the edges and on the top.
Well, let's see if we can make that happen.
We've got some beautiful eggs here. That's six beautiful eggs.
Got a before-end to get those bamboulias.
Hold them from the chicken, basically. Some beautiful dark chocolate here.
look at that. And here we have some beautiful white flour, a bit of vanilla extract here,
this is some butter, ham churn, find myself, got some beautiful sugar here as well, a mix of white
and brown sugar just to get the full combination of flavours in there. The final ingredient,
some cocoa powder, look at that, look at that, that's delicious, that's what you want. It
does look delicious and then you eat it by itself and it's actually disgusting.
Mine's done absolutely. I don't know how that becomes chocolate to be honest but yeah.
Magic.
Now, the first step is we're going to melt this butter.
So, Frank, if you could give me a clap, and I'll return with the butter melted.
Oh, my God, it's just like magic.
Magic, that.
So, now we've got some nice melted butter, and while this is butter, what we're going
to do is just drizzle this.
Do you want to just drizzle this into the chocolate?
Yeah.
So, the goal here should be to melt the chocolate with the butter, even a little
mix here.
Oh, yeah, that is how it works.
There we go.
So, look at this.
The way the silkiness of that is just going to combine together with the butter,
and emulsify together to a beautiful, I believe they call this a ganache.
Look at this, a bit of chocolate there. Look at that, drip down on there.
That's what you want to see when you're making this.
The next step, while that's melting away,
we're going to incorporate our sugar mixture with our egg mixture here.
And a nice sugary egg mixture, very delicious.
Sounds tasty.
Yes, not quite, but...
250 grams.
Look at that.
I'm also going to get some vanilla extract in there.
Yum.
Some people say this is basically desert MSG. It just means anything. They're so good.
But then that is the gochujang flavor.
Throw that in there just a little bit.
That's a bummer.
What? It's a lot of brownies.
So the eggs, we're going to beat these and now give that a good mix here.
So now we've got this mixture looking all nice and fluffy now.
What we're going to do, we're going to mix in the ganache here with this mixture,
so I'm afraid if you could slowly drizzle as I'm spinning gears off.
I've all seen it. I like to leave a little bit because it's a little chef's snack.
Are you okay with us eating the mixture?
I mean, personally, dumping this flour, this beautifully milled flour, the flour mill did
a good job, and now I'm just going to drizzle some of this in there as well.
I just give that a little hint on the side there, look at that, coming out of there,
that's a bit of a money.
I love the combination of colors, that's incredible.
That is beautiful and I think at the end of this we're going to have some absolutely
delicious brownies to work with.
There's a dusting of deliciousness right there.
There's a double D of dusting right there.
Okay, so now the folding.
Now, normally I would fold all my recipes myself,
but with a guest here today, Fred,
will you do the honors?
Stop it.
It will be about time now to pop it into the baking tray.
Look at the folds coming in,
the ripple of pure flavor.
Oh, that's like oddly satisfying.
Oh wow, that is beautiful.
Look at that.
Now one thing you wanna just
get a little shake here, a little tapper tapper,
some people say and this is like absolutely perfect looking mixture. Yeah perfect.
Boy it tastes really good. Yeah? It tastes really good and now we're gonna put this in
the oven. Can I do the honors? Sure. Slide it in there nice and soft as that goes in
that oven and I tell you what we're gonna be right with you on the chairs
in about five minutes or so.
Alright, let's do this.
ESL presents the ESL pro league partnership with Intel, Acer Predator, DHL, ZOE, and CHECK.
Stage 2 of ESL Pro League Season 23. Welcome everybody. Jason, which is having a little
wakey-wakey, Jason.
Didn't get enough sleep last night.
Very bright.
Good morning.
I'm just gonna throw that out there.
Good morning.
How was everybody's morning?
It's been great so far.
Excellent prayer.
The first hour of the day has been incredible.
I didn't want to get out of bed this morning.
I didn't either.
It was really tough.
How was your morning prayer?
You weren't shopping.
I did go shopping.
How did you?
I was a busy guy.
I had to run, like, really. I really did that.
In those shoes?
Yeah, in those shoes!
That's the campus I've ever had to go to.
In those shoes?
No laces to tie up, you see.
True, no laces. That's a big deal.
I'm trying a hat today.
I'm trying it, you know, because I think it changed the hat.
It's your hat.
It's your hat.
It's your own hat.
It is my own hat.
But find a basement dweller, you know, you sell it or shop or whatever.
You look like you're the head of a training camp
for a revolution in Honduras or something.
That's what I'm aiming for, actually.
Like, I look like I'm familiar with combat, you know?
Yeah, right. That's the guy I got from you this morning.
That's him.
I said Alex is like a military man.
He wants some fisticuffs.
Oh, gates, yeah.
Go on, then.
Is Russia around him?
No.
Really?
I think Russia's on the niche.
Oh, he's sick now, yeah.
Sick, nice shirt, something, yeah.
I just wanted to ask him about, like, that baking video
But really, I loved people.
It was sweet.
And I wondered whether he was still into his bacon.
What were you baking?
Brownies.
Brownies.
Mm.
Yeah.
Ten odd-time records.
Blondies, I believe, are called.
Blondie?
No, it's from there.
The white chocolate.
What is the white chocolate?
Yeah.
What do they call when they're mixed?
Because they had white and chocolate.
They had white chocolate.
And you had bloody mouths.
What's it called?
I was just saying.
That was low hanging yanko fruit, right there.
It was a genuine question.
It's my favorite time.
You might be.
But I didn't see.
It was just brown.
No?
There are two colors in there. Can we rewind the clip? There's there's two colors. Well, you want to mix in chocolate into a
flower. That was the flower. Okay, good. Thank God. I think it was just right. I am a little strange.
All right, yeah. Anyway, cow strike. Yay. How is everyone doing this morning? Like just on the Twitch chat in four minutes.
I want to see what they say. Like, how are you guys?
I thought we were just re-sign that. I thought we were just re-sign that.
One more time.
Do that one again. Eat and plant. How are they doing?
Did everybody see Trace's little check-in with Miles yesterday?
I'm sure she would've been great.
What did that mean?
Like, we should go back and watch it.
Okay.
It was great.
Yeah, he had a hoodie and everything.
Trace?
Didn't he had him clothing?
Yeah, yeah, Miles did.
Miles would be.
Thanks to Mischelis, because he didn't even have the Miles hoodie and Trace did.
Oh, yeah, that's a little bit the end.
Yeah.
Yeah, he can't do that.
He's kind of savage.
He can't do that.
But good for Miles, I guess.
How's Spink supposed to play his best game now?
I did run into Hawker's Tweet this morning where he said,
If Maus played the best of one against aliens for the fate of humanity, people still wouldn't cheer for them.
And that made me chuckle.
That's pretty good.
That's good.
Chuckle is good.
That's a good bet.
Am I being all boring when I say I actually feel sorry for him now?
Haka?
No.
I guess not.
This is all like meme already.
I think we moved on ages ago.
Yeah, yeah, you're ex dude.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Years and years ago.
Years and years ago.
Alright, well they're a ready to be a alumni.
Here he is.
He's a good one.
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm just getting Twitch chat up.
Yes, I just couldn't say it.
Oh, that's Mako being really hyped.
Um, viewer mail. Should we do some?
I would love to do it.
Can we do a throwback to the mail yesterday? I have a question for you, Frank.
Okay.
We had the guy message in, say he was doing his cooking cookies with his date,
and then he was going to watch a movie. He was asking us for a movie recommended.
I saw this that wasn't Lord of the Rings.
It wasn't Lord of the Rings, so you're doing a date night.
What movie are you hoping gets thrown on the screen?
Okay, like, there's multiple questions that need it here.
Is this a first date? Do I know this person?
Do I know this person?
I don't know, but you're bacon cookies, so already it says something.
Okay.
I don't think that's the first day I did that.
It doesn't feel like the first day I did that.
No.
No.
That feels like three dates in.
Unless you're like seven years in, or seven years old.
Or just looking to bring it home.
Okay.
If you really want to show your true personality, like, Iglobowski is kind of...
The big Iglobowski I would have never had Frey as a big lady.
I see you though.
Then you can see the humor and if like...
Yeah, we both struggling if you laugh at this year. You're good people. Yeah
That's a little barometer move for you. Jason will be tropic thunder
Always gets
I would go for a better Crispin Olin sure
We did suggest those but we figured no one would be intense for a day, but a dark night
Dark Knight is a good run. Dark Knight Rise is a long movie too.
I hope the day went well, because this did happen like a week ago, right?
Maybe send us another mail.
Finally, four minutes has passed!
Yo, your morning's great, thanks for asking, happy to hear it, it's 2.15am for Kyle.
Go to bed, Kyle! Go to bed!
Exciting to see my brother and a question for someone that knows what's going on. Simon, maybe rebirth says where can I watch phase versus pain?
Anyone know B stream B strategy. That's a beast. Correct. B stream to the B stream
B stream right now. Well, not right now. No, how would you want to watch that game? Well
Massacres that's the mice watching face that choice. Yeah, how do we feel about phase yesterday?
It's rough out there. They're not making the major. It's over. Yeah, honestly, can I tell you something real?
I kind of expected that but I expected it before the Budapest major.
I didn't think that. So a lot of people are saying, you know, the fact that they popped off the Budapest major is the worst thing that could have happened to them because they didn't make a roster move for this season as well.
But wasn't the major story quite exciting? Yes, it was. It was quite exciting.
We got it one more time. We got the facet the classic phase bullshit if they make the playoffs watch the cologne major final
Jacob will be in the final. Yeah, you know how everybody was saying like oh
There were certain roster moves that should have happened and then they all kind of fell through because it's kind of like you know
Not to just trigger myself here trying to sell a property right now, but the chain collapsing
Oh
So no, um, do you think phase were maybe in that? I don't know. I don't know how much people know
They can't share. I don't really know anything
I'm
Nothing I can share
Not much, but I don't know. Thanks, Jace. Yeah, that's how
No one else stepped up to the plane. It was just gonna be silent like kind of blank time
We're just gonna sit in the house not thinking about houses. I don't understand the chain and house around here with the question
No clue with that one. Did you pay your rent? Yeah, it's just like two days late, but that's pretty good
That's right and typically for the last for the whole lease. I was paying six months blocks
I would that's how much I was buying goodwill so she can just relax. Yeah, she's fine today
Yeah, you know what I mean when you like you're you're in this chain and then one
Yeah, I think that's what happened last season that first domino
Yeah, it never did fall to trigger like the chain of events
Yeah, I think that's also a bit of an excuse for some of these teams because the talent is out there
just the scouting maybe isn't there or teams don't want to take that risk
because they're in a decent spot you know let's say someone like Navi are top 10
team mouses the top 5 team but they've been stagnating for a long time I think
FaZe I don't know just the whole ordeal from I mean look back at last
season of pro league the whole conundrum with oh we actually cannot feel
the roster that we have in this tournament because we don't have the
Of course.
Reng, can you please fly in from Norway to play with us?
Actually, we're going to default lose a game because we don't have a team.
And then we're going to make top four and beat Spirit in the playoffs, right?
And then take a map of Vitality.
Yeah.
And then Jacob comes back in and...
They lose the foot in Shanghai.
Yeah, okay.
I mean, even that particular one is like they flew in straight to play the tournament.
But still, it's kind of...
The results have just been not there, and all this convincing everyone that Jacob is so sick, he's not.
I think there would be a for a phase they've had a lot of mismanagement in terms of selling players.
Like, you feel like your best players haven't sold players.
Exactly, so there's probably a bit of panic around, oh no, like if someone's contracts and they like,
we gotta figure out how to fix this and get a player actually sold,
and you don't have the most amount of time to actually think about the future of the team when you're not managing it, probably.
You know what I'm thinking about?
More mail from the DHL.
Oh, sorry, we had a, you know, always on my mind.
Should we bring up some of the mail that has been sent to you?
You can't send mail.
I love that.
My best.
Oh, from the Michael Scott.
Hey, guys, loving the vibe casting so far.
Pro League, keep it up.
I like that he called it vibe casting.
It's like vibe coding except cooler.
Yeah, the vibe casting, I know.
My question for you gamers,
what games do you think people would play
in a hundred years from now?
Counter strike.
A ton.
Do you think CEO, great show?
Do you think CS would be one of them?
If so, how do you think the game will develop in 100 years?
100 years have come to a halt.
How much, really?
I think we're going to bring Dust2 back again,
and throw it out again, and bring it back.
I think Cash would be back by 100, because...
Well, I think if you read the last bit of his email,
where he's saying, I'm thinking something like
Ready Player One with haptics and VR.
Oh, that'd be cool.
I think that's probably where we're at.
Like, you're just plug-in into something,
and you will be, like, on Dust2.
We're gonna have to give everyone like the the treadmill movement for these video games because some we're gonna have to get
Oh, you'll just do it with your mind
We need to be like in a little hamster. Have you seen the the technology now is with these like connect kinetic balls
Yeah, walk on like on the pad. Yeah, I can just walk on you walk on the spot
And you can I think it'd be fun to play a tournament like that to be honest with you
If we could get that company to sponsor a counter strike tournament
And then we can see who's the baiter and who's actually trying to win, you know, yes
And you can see the hustle
Yeah, you got a 1v1 you got to go pick up the bomb near the side of the map
And you actually gonna do it and your entry fragger also like you know has to have Cardio Vasquez. He's got to be in good shape
Entry fragging because she spends so much time doing cardio and running outside so
I'm just hoping we're around 100 years
125 I'm already getting boring
I'm not sure about that. Oh, I'm gonna do it. I like that would be great 125 you will be
50% dust we will wait and see if medical
Advancements man. There's enough medical stories to cover up news. We don't want to hear it
There's gonna be some crazy break out. I could be half man half machine by that point
Because that's full machine in a way you're almost like machine half machine right now. Yeah, you really get in there
Anyway another question
the chingles. Oh, the hell. Was it just in my head? Thanks, Simon. It's still there.
But I was really g yet. Moses, nice beard. Thank you. That's from, that's from a
chat. That's not from, that's not from a PhD candidate at TooSmartForMe.com. Oh, I
needed for my electrical engineering. I love when people ask me for advice. I'm a PhD
student and I have to get a lecture in the field of electrical engineering. Do you
How many tips? How can I include some counter-strike in it?
Ooh!
PSChad, I didn't expect you to be that tall.
We'll pass the message on.
He's not that tall. Maybe this is what's sad.
Maybe this is something from the Fun Bunch.
Uh, it's okay.
Do you have any tips on, uh, a lecture in the field of a lecture?
Well, I can tell you a subscriber doesn't know very much about electrical engineering.
Electrical things scare the hell out of me.
Um, I also don't know what's going on. It seems very complicated.
So find a way to dumb it down.
Yes.
Actually, although it's a PhD, you can, you can pitch to the crowd.
You can pitch to the crowd.
Don't dumb it down, don't dumb it down.
Maybe really.
Make it more complex than it has to be.
Or switch to arts and crafts because AI is going to take your job soon anyway.
Yeah, that's probably true.
But hey, the question comes to Chad.
I mean, he has a lot of experience putting the power back on after the power cuts him all the time.
Real talk, you could probably do something with the stage lighting setup.
Electrical engineering with all the different lights.
You need the PSD color screen.
Probably.
You could probably do something with that.
Do you know how they make all the lights turn on when we start the show?
Yeah, or coordinate like the lights with the bomb explosion.
Yep.
Ooh.
The pyro techniques.
You guys don't see it, but every time the bomb explodes, we fire off pyro.
Yeah, I know.
Yep.
Pretty intense.
He's cool.
Yeah.
Just trying to light a pyro under Rush's ass so he does a better job.
Yeah, exactly.
We didn't really give him any tips to be.
No, we didn't.
No, keep it complicated.
Electrical engineering is not in my life.
Light bulbs.
That was even for us.
Electrons.
We define electrical.
So it's like, when you...
When you...
When you...
When you engineer electricity, you know what I'm saying?
Like, you can't even see.
I think there's got to be the tallest one in the world.
There's another great Google feature.
Where is the stone, yes.
What the f**k is this piece of s**t?
No, no, no.
Why'd you think it would be something good for you to go?
Is that something that's gonna be frequenting our home often?
Be a bang in your a-
Oh, I swear the soul of the year has never known good
It's just exist, he's gonna win around this all the time
Oh my god, Frank, are you kidding me?
Okay, so I've actually discovered what an electrical engineer does, can't even talk.
I actually interest me now because they might do maybe something to do with airplanes, so I'm back back in the room
They might do radar navigation systems. That's very important that goes. It's very very important
I imagine they would have to tubes they would be involved with anything having to do with electricity
Jays like everything
Too much. I just put that in the PhD. You don't have to go just job by job is what I'm saying, you know
Can you make half a mil a year as an electrical engineer? Yo, absolutely. Yeah, it's possible
Oh, it's possible the u.s. You can who wants to live there
Yeah, man, the electricians that I used to work within the factory. There's like they have like different grades to it
Right, so like you can you can be a senior
Spark again the electricians used to work within the factory. Yeah, I used to work in an automotive factory
Plastic mold injection no way. Yeah, I was the dye setter
I imagine your life before I got I knew you was kind of like goodwill hunting
Anyway, yeah, like you're married like check it
Kind of like that actually yeah
It's not your fault. You know some would say bars
Yeah, I like goodwill hunting really. Do you like the mantle Jason? Yeah, I like they're great
But yeah, I was in charge of I had to bring the different molds out to create different auto parts
So like they were like, you know 50 ton big chunks of steel that it bring out by yourself right on the ceiling
Yeah, look it up on a touch it
That's why you could open my water bottle the other day.
That's why I'm strength, yeah.
That's before Lord Lord's jobs went to Bangladesh.
I almost died, friend.
Who's died?
I almost died.
Meanwhile, I was working in home base helping ladies find the right bulb.
Oh, do you want to know some gutting news about home base?
I've gone into administration.
Oh, what?
I know.
Is that like bankruptcy?
Yeah.
It's gone, friend.
It's gone.
Nothing left.
Wait, but you can't just leave it.
I almost died.
Yeah, yeah.
Hold on.
No, I was, yeah, one of the, I've made a mistake and forgot to do one thing and as I opened the
mold the crane was still attached. It was one thing, but it was one very big thing. It was
a very bad mistake. And the bolt attaching it to the crane snapped because it's like
a, when it opens it opens with like a ton of force so it just broke the chain and
the hook that holds the chain on the crane came flying at me. I didn't see it. I didn't
even know. I didn't know it was happening. It all happened so quick. But I put a dent
in this big steel pillar that I was standing behind. That pillar hadn't been there, probably
would have gone through my chest. Yeah, I would have gone through it. And I have seen
the hook. I haven't mounted it at home. And we got some thank you pillars. March this
day of this date, I almost died. It wasn't at 2012, so that was like the year CS
Go came out. Yeah, and the London Olympics. There you go. It was the year before
I moved down to Texas to live with Potter in the two years before I started cast.
Oh, Miss Potter.
Oh, really, Miss Potter.
Can we do one more, Merbac?
Do we have one more, Merbac?
Thank you, Simon.
One more.
Is that Merbac?
That was a great Merbac.
Yeah.
I don't quite remember the question.
I hope we answered that.
How can it be a better electrical engineer or something?
I think we answered it.
Oh, my God.
Well, good news from Finland.
Hey, guys.
I'm one lady.
Thank you for the acknowledgement.
Thanks for the show.
I usually listen to the broadcast when walking or training at the...
Audio over the listener.
Okay, thank you for your memory.
Yeah, we love you guys.
I may be kind of an oddball.
God, I really can't read this, didn't I?
Because I have never played CS.
I tried once, but I did not even get out of spawn before all the bots killed each other.
And another odd thing about me is that I like to watch and listen to the Analystess more than the actual game.
Oh, this is a makey male.
You are a freak.
At the bottom of this, give me some questions.
Yanko.
I watch the stream afterwards and skip almost all rounds and just enjoy the before and after game analysis.
Is this okay, or should I go to see a doctor?
Also listen to all the podcasts you make
and wait for the next episodes.
Thank you for all the work you do for us, me.
Best regards, Tuamo.
Tuamo.
Tuamo.
Wow, is this real?
Well, man, Jason keeps telling me
that the Analdest shouldn't exist
and there's no place and people on it are boring,
so I guess that's you and me, Freya.
I don't know how he never says it
when they're sitting right here.
Right here!
See, there's people who enjoy it.
It's just like they don't necessarily,
They just make a shred about it.
They're just enjoying silence.
That's the sign of the majority.
The question was, should I go see a doctor?
That was the question in there.
Yeah, you probably should.
Would you like to answer it then, cool?
Depends what doctor is, Bose.
Dr. Banks, he's on the desk sometimes.
He's got a good point there.
Dr. Banks is in the house.
You watch both.
I'm not sure he got his PhD in electrical engineering.
Probably not.
In social sciences, maybe.
Yeah.
Anyway, Mungo's Aurora.
That's the game that we're going to be covering.
This is another one of the strongest games man. This is the old classic game man.
I hear the players are in the server now.
Actually I thought they played like a hundred times but they haven't played since October against each other.
This is the East Boys World Cup final.
Yeah.
Oh yeah!
Hmmmm.
Techno MVP rematch.
Remember.
What happened there?
One roster movie.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Well, Mongrel's won.
Hahaha.
Tell you that.
Hahaha.
They also won this game too.
It was close.
It was very close.
Okay, so this should be a little bit grinding the two of these two teams.
Yeah, I mean it looks like the map pool is going to be different.
I wonder whether they're tired after yesterday.
Ro-ro-ro.
Ro-ro-ro.
They played like a seven hour series.
It was so long versus your boys, legacy.
Demal!
Demal!
Demal!
Is he in the MVP level before?
No, not quite.
Okay.
Say that.
Come on, man.
It was a long series though, so potentially they're a bit sleepy.
Yes, yeah.
We were surprised when we'd seen didn't and saw like the the final deestern game started like super late
Yeah, I was like oh the first map is just beginning now. How's that happened? Yes, you grounded quite a bit
Now you had to take a quick nap
I hope walks it has his mouth
The Southpaw Sniper
Yeah, I think he's gonna have it. Yeah trace over here at the walks
Trace get on a train another well again number one. That's the great idea that we should actually send him
Oh, another great map pool to start the day. That's two Mirage inferno man. We'll take those a boom is reading good
This is the three mapper guys just so you know teams will win. They will win mappics
You know, this could have been a best of one
I like the map pool though, I like that. I love it all the clock again
Why are you saying we're gonna win Dustin? What's the Mongols are just not very good on it
They're just they just struggle on it. I have the same sort of
understanding of the map their reactions are
Slower than they are on a map like Mirage right there ideas aren't as well
Ironed out I think so it's easier for people to read them and then to play one step ahead of them
All right, so Moa that was your desk segment so you can tune out now the game is about to begin
I'm going to do a game. See you later.
I'm going to finish before that starts.
Ooh, his, his.
Hey, everyone tweeted for us.
You want to see her on the cast?
Jay's taller than Dinka.
Jay is taller than me. Much, much taller.
He's a tall, tall guy.
Jay's kind of a... a tallest.
Yeah, he did well there.
Happy to help. I appreciate that. I was looking for it.
I just did that thing where I clipped my throat without pressing my button.
It was fun though. My new trash phrase.
Now you guys know the things we go through that's what I have a normally I have a button when I'm doing that
It's the morning. It's the morning. I did just get the sleep out of my eye. So that's probably good. It's okay
I bet yeah, it's really good. I mean you have the button. Yeah, I know I have the button Simon
But I'm trying this new thing. It's like it pulls back, you know the fourth wall a little bit
It gets some chat interaction. They don't explain my curtains to you yesterday, so
Unfortunately, yes
Not to me though, I'm not the only one I'll text you. Yeah, all right now. All right, right now
Right here. Well then
We've got Mongols taking short control
And no one really detecting that from Aurora yet. So
Our other emzinho is gonna be waiting down on the ramp so
Oh, what a flash. Oh, Blitz is gonna throw a flash up into the sky over the top of the palm tree and so fly
He's got the opening frag of the game
And they're like...
You see what I mean? It's just wonky.
And you see Mongols on Dust2.
Yeah. I mean, it's strange, because when you think of some of the other Mongols,
you think about their individual capabilities.
Dust2 would lend itself to their strong suits.
I think SenZu did a lot of work... excuse me, not that much.
I think SenZu did a lot of work for them on this map.
I think it's part of what they'd be missing on Dust2.
Like SenZu is just like a rifler running around secondary.
He was not rotating.
The only time we've seen them popping off chasing was when Cobra took over this map. That's true
We have seen Cobra do that. He's had some great maps at least on dust 2
So we'll see if Cobra can have a good game here
Who's been the stronger addition to these teams these surprising roster changes Cobra zero or so fly for a role?
I think they've both had
high-rated performances for their new teams. I think Cobra's had maybe more highlight moments. Okay, but he's in more
or
He's in better positions where he can pop offs. That's a bit more, you know so fly
Something really impressed with so fly. Yeah, I'm saying
Isn't that what I said it did sound exactly like yank alone sound exactly. I'm Scott's pretty. Thank you. You are
This is fluid
I don't know, I don't know, just let me be for a second, I'm collecting myself this morning.
Good morning.
Two scouts and a couple of pistols.
This is actually going to be threatening if we get one of those connections on the cross,
they are just walking up cat and are likely going to execute into what is exclusively
one man defending the site, not looking good.
Not looking great.
Blitz is alone.
910's gonna be his little bit of support. No, he's not. He's peaced back.
That's it. It'd be a double scout, right? Even if he's there, what are you gonna do?
A scout at the railing on the ramp and a scout on the CT ramp? Like, that's not stopping any...
Just save already. That's not stopping a damn thing.
910 goes B.
Mr. Sharp, they run at you.
That's not the gizmy. That's not the gizmy, man. That's just the Blitz.
No tag.
Oh, there we go. There's got one.
Touchback again. Had a second chance there with the T-Gull of Emzino.
Not gonna be the one Charmin is, actually.
Cobra, who's got that one? Mzinho could have a chance though. Look up to the side, there's the shot on the D-Golf, if there's another one, get out of him!
Mzinho gets away with one more, and Zontaris has to save him. He can scout out through the smoke somehow, some way. Mongol's winning that one.
Just like we all expected. Salty was gonna work. Mzinho double D.
I didn't account for the Mzinho double D, that was my mistake.
I didn't account for Aurora just like, stopping.
Yeah, right. If they just fight at the scout, Mazzino gets one chance on that cross there.
Look how long they spent at that corner, just like chilling, which is like the worst place to be against the scout and the Deagle just jiggling you at the corner.
I mean, I'm not sure who the lurker was, but that was also a bit of a...
I can actually, you know, over...
Only aggressive position for him to be outside of the doors and really go for those kills and then you don't get a single one.
Yeah, that's really sad.
No, the lurker is supposed to be the release valve, right?
Take the pressure away and...
Oh, he did not.
Oh, they're on a forced buy.
I'll get myself a couple of nice little kills here.
Ah, I'm dead.
Okay, we're short anyway.
There were 3B.
Oh, wait, what's going on?
Oh, no, we lost.
Well, that's a shitty way to start the game.
Too many times you see teams fall into this trap against pistols when they execute
short.
It's like, yeah, we have the rifles.
you know, so they slow it down to take this fight with long, but it's just get to the
site and plan.
Yeah, just negate all of it.
Cause if you lose that fight and now you didn't get to the site and the rotation came in,
all of a sudden, you're stuffed in your tracks.
Yeah, you have no room to work with.
Sad for them.
Not so much for the Mongols.
And yet again, it looks like we're just gonna mount things up.
Here's the playoff short.
Okay, one goes down, Blitz still here, playing a passive.
And lovely shooting.
Nice and easy!
Ace!
I think I have my headphones on backwards.
I heard that glil shooting in my right ear.
Was it in your left ear?
You don't remember?
No.
No, Jim Pro says it.
Hang on, how do we test this?
I'm just going to wait for another round.
I was going to try and make a sound on the one side of your ear.
Okay, I do that.
How do I do that?
Talk out of the left side of your mouth.
Oh, yep, that's in both.
It's in both.
It's in both.
Okay.
So, we're cool.
Everyone's cool.
And we've got an economical Aurora couldn't have a worse start to their map pick.
Ooh.
Oh.
There we go.
And the Tarris is growing a beard.
Really?
Apparently.
Allegedly.
Okay.
Let's check that out.
Yeah, we'll have to get around that.
I wonder what he would look like with a beard.
He too.
I couldn't imagine it.
Well, down inside flash going up.
get a couple of frags and five slayers
close it yeah that's definitely no lay moment
it's just flawless man
here's the buy aurora are back
alright in action no advp for walks equate yet we got 5 ak-47s for the
Turkish attack
lovely to see so what do you think the towers is new bid what do you think
I haven't seen it yet I'm looking like major was he on the screen I was looking at
making a silly joke because my job was on screen
Uh...
That's what Taros does, apparently. Allegedly.
Start to grab it.
I'm gonna keep my eyes...
Please do. Please do.
This is an important round, so let's all, like, focus.
No more silly buggers.
Yeah. Can you guys all calm down?
Yeah. Be cool, everyone.
Dingo, over to you.
Oh!
They're a slightly bearded man.
I zinged that right by the nade.
Alright, so I can start here for Aurora whatsoever.
That's their danger man right there. He's already softened up.
He's moved up through short.
Walkzik's gone through the low tunnels.
Let's see if they can take some cat control here for Aurora.
They're giving it. No one's really challenging for it here for the Mongols.
Let's see if he's got two Haitians.
This could be a well-timed double barrage.
Yeah, they stockpiled a couple down there, haven't they?
Can I block middle?
Where's this Mac 10 flying? Tecno's got that at the B bomb site.
He doesn't give a damn, so he wants to use the weakwap and upgrade to something free and easy.
First name does not connect. This mid-split looks like it's taking shape, but he doesn't have an HE.
If they don't double smoke it, he could just smoke break.
No, you're doing this. You're crazy.
Whoa!
You are a psycho.
I mean, that reeks of a misread, right? Like, isn't yours human?
I think it's just the decision of the play you make, right?
Like, you can break it and kind of lick see what there is.
You can call for a flashbang, go through it.
if you wanted to be the surprise factor and say,
I'm just gonna see if you guys are ready for this.
Right.
But unfortunately it does look really stupid
when it goes that way.
Really?
This is how it works.
There you go.
Headshots, very nice first,
but since I was quick on the trade.
Now your rotations are cut off,
Picardia will clean up,
Techno's backstand gets nothing done,
and it's a very convincing roll around.
That's more like it, Picardia.
That is more like it.
Very simple as well.
Helps getting that kill on Blitz.
Let's help yeah, I think they were gonna commit to that mid to be split until he got that kill
And then he's like oh we can just back off this is gonna this is gonna be painful for them now
They have to they have to consider middle
They also they killed the a road
To a to be at that point put some extra pressure drew 910 as well
At least for the Mongols got enough money for a goodbye again, and we've got 910
Thank you for going to the lower tunnels.
Oh yeah, we do.
Look at this, a crash in.
I'm nearly getting a chance to...
Oh, Wakadia up in the upper tunnels.
I think it was Spada, I think Wakadia saw him on the jump back through the gap.
So, a little bit of counter utility from both angles.
910's gotta get out of there.
And he will escape.
Tons of utility used to keep him alive, but it's all good.
All good, man.
Oh, it's a Taurus.
It's a bold fight.
He's got a cost of his life, techno.
Taking the first kill at night tank, grabbing the follow-up.
And Aurora, a less than ideal start here.
We'll see if Waxik can pull one of those kills back here on the B site.
Too far off, but...
The re-peak with Amolli and Hanok, Cobra was re-peaking AWP, so...
That's his reward for Aurora.
Hey, this and then a couple of kills right back for Aurora.
Alright, map split in half. That's the middle opened up.
Mizzini was going on this little bit of a flank.
He'll miss the timing on Soulfly. Might be able to find her at Kaliya.
glancing he was considering but now focused on the short side
Do you know it's one beat away? Oh, oh we kind of heard that. Yeah
This is it's life. They're bringing it back. This would be a collapse from the Mongols
Yeah, that might be a little bit too fast in the fight
Although you can understand why Missy knew wanted to go for it one-on-one here
So fly knows it get a swing for the fight now. He knows into the B bomb site
This is the only thing that matters
Good beat from Koba. Triple kill across the round including taking out the AWPer of Woxic and B Tunnels, a great round from the B defense.
And a timeout is called.
For good reason. Aurora not getting any consistent success here whatsoever.
I don't know why they don't 3 smoke doors when Woxic is upper B.
You don't have your AWPer there to punish any of these aggressive mid-peaks.
The tower is completely oblivious about mid, just cheaply given away round from the side
of Aurora.
Yeah.
It's a pretty important one, it was a reset round.
Yeah, as on Tars it felt like he was considered a little bit late and wasn't actually clearing
anything.
He was like, oh yeah, I should look here just in case.
Feldberg just has a nice round all the way through.
Made you look sad.
He did look.
in there. You'll feel that, oh my god that's a backstab. Yeah that's gonna really help Aurora
in the scenario at least. Not live? Can we please reset? No. Proper right click to the
spine. That's alright, you can play back a B platform. There's too much face here by
that. Yeah just hang on. Are you really playing if you're not knifing your teammates
This is useful.
Exactly.
Well, not intent.
This is going to be boosted up here and down into short.
Well, just about this.
Untoward is that.
Gets the chance and can't land it.
So we'll fall back.
Let's also take it a grenade on the way back.
Send D1 in return to Accadia.
A little HE grenade back and forth.
It is all fair.
Well they're staying grouped up Aurora this round instead of spreading out and getting
picked off they've all remained grouped 9-10 misses the stroll along the railing.
That's a beefy nade.
Well just cut down grenades at each other at this point haven't they spotted one another?
Beefy.
Mmm.
It's all gravy.
just for the B-Street
go bruh
in Techno, alright Tron, block out, oh sword flight right over the Mac 10
what? actually the knife might have had an impact
yeah it would have because he got the instant
he might have been able to have a rebuttal if he didn't get knifed in the back
but no he definitely would have Jason that was a long-range Mac 10
well you never know the Mac 10 can triple dink pretty quick as well
definitely the instant head shot is a bummer
We've got the assist. Who did the knife?
It's B-bombside Defender.
Cell, maybe reach over and...
8, 4, 1, half from Aurora.
Target point was that team knife.
Not to be confused with a champ's knife. Two different things.
Two completely different things.
Yeah. There's lots of different types of knife.
Crime, Encounter Strike.
Those are two of them.
So both teams have kind of looked a bit a little bit wonky, you know, we've seen Aurora kind of well
There's been some shakiness from both squads at the start losing the second round was a bit clunky
Yeah, now my finger teammate losing the beautiful knife and bonk blitz walking through that CT smoke here is the knife
Kachaa! Oh, it's a shame. Shame shame shame. Covered entry
See the back then handled the fully armored opponent who hadn't been knifed
that was pretty casual yeah might not have mattered at the end of the day but it did
all right we're out long four players there's the aggressive play we're cutting the table
to dodge it previously not this time let's see all print it's worked so well
now you got another rifle oh yeah oh this is already going wrong isn't it let's
don't do it bless don't peek into the oh it's still smoked he's fine
Who walks the Ted my brother?
He's got an all per spot my brother I kind of
Oh gosh he's terrifying me.
This is not the play.
That's the grandmaster move right there.
Reposition.
Now you know where he is.
He feels like he needs a challenge because they have weaker weapons but they've recovered a couple.
I feel like you don't need to be put into that situation yet.
No.
This is nice though.
I like this.
Back to short bullets.
Kali, follow up. He's damn close to it.
But a USP headshot from Tecno.
And then you have a player flanking catwalk as well.
So those guns are recovered and they haven't even started crossing yet.
Smoking for the cross.
Magic to make his way across. Is there a gap?
Yeah, there's a gap.
Ooh, that's an ugly gap.
We don't like that.
This is morning counter strike if ever I saw it.
This is, we need to have some Turkish coffee counter strike.
Yeah, it is.
These are not caffeinated plays
Nearly getting a chance to flip back your own matchup, but it's all on co-op rock does exactly where he is
22nd
It's in the opening gives match of the chance survives on 5 HP. Did I not hear like three dinks? Yeah?
I think it was through the railing or through a box. Oh
Respect imagine man
That's gonna be frustrated though if you're if you're the Mongols and you get that you hear that double dick is that player
I remember who is it in the one-to-one man? I'd be pissed
I'm cobra. I'm just like how many times do I have to pick this guy? Yeah, right through that railing
They didn't get the open time even two times
We're kind of just rushing
Rushing B, he's done it again with the opening.
These Mk10s can just get B whenever they want.
First soul fly, now we've seen Wakadia do it.
Just walk on in, thank you very much.
Sight is ours.
And you're in a disadvantaged retake.
Yeah, it's a pretty brittle B defense though
for just a B rush with a Mk10.
That's gonna be frustrating for Kogra and Techno,
but frustrating for the rest of the Mongols team too.
We're now putting an impossible scenario.
One for one on Blitz.
If you get one right now, you could still go for this,
but Aurora is not going to give you any more gifts.
Sometimes this is a combination of,
first the buy for Aurora, but then also anti-strat.
Maybe they're seeing that Mongols' protocols
for B rush aren't there,
that they are perhaps greedy with utility
and don't spend anything at the start of the round.
Cause this is, okay, the first time they rush it,
last time they went,
a little bit of a timing, yeah, but they're both working.
This is not a good sign for the Mongols for this map because it's the T side where they
struggle. The most right on CT side, sometimes they can have good halves, but T side is where
they run into a brick wall. It's really nice to done from Makadia. No fear through
the Molotov, create the space, trust Santar is going to trade you off on that player
on the other side of the crossfire. Exactly what happens. One round lead for the Turkish
team and we're going out long now.
Just some real direct calling. I actually kind of enjoyed last time Aurora started being
more simplistic with the calls.
Oh, he's been spotted coming up mid.
Yeah.
He's not in the wants of a fight.
The flash disk does catch him. 9-10. Let's one out. In the meantime, Woxix managed
to find some nice find. He's removed Blitz. Softlight finds number two and yeah,
good to get across just no need to rush this as long as you can drop a proper
cross smoke and there's no gaps in it yeah that would help
I'm trying to delay them but the magic flank around the back should be in the
insurance policy here for a war 910 not looking the right way so that all goes
down magic on the full-off chance and so Cardia helping him out so I'm
always starting to stabilize in this first half four players staying up
money built up as well. And that previous round was going to be even more frustrating for the Mongols.
Some real direct calls we can make in our pubs. That was a rush B, into a take the longsport
and group. There was no layers to that. That's just simple right now with the way both teams
are playing. And it's working. Yeah. Well they were playing more spread out at the start and
that's when it felt like Mongols was able to pick a couple players off and grab those five
on threes now everything as you're saying is is much more grouped up it is
like kind of an execute out of spawn like this is where four players are going
what a great extinguished smoke from moxick i didn't quite protect him
pays a little bit of life
people want to be
don't ruin mine what is it cousins show match
nephews nephew show
Well, I'm looking so good for Aurora, losing Zantara's early on like that.
Coppers out, grabbing the opening kill.
Okay, looks like our game plan is being discussed right now.
Everyone's looking at each other, throwing nades at each other.
Matt Jeff just staring at his teammates.
Thank you, thank you.
Ooh, seems we know the finish.
Yo, J-Rex, what's this one?
What's he doing?
Any guesses?
It's going...
I want to say CT right now.
Just the second one for the Avangar.
Yeah.
Drop CT.
Nice shots.
Mazzinho another one through the smoke this time on sole flight.
He's going to go into the smoke as well himself.
Worried about that grenade if it cleared the smoke if it would have been spotted but...
He's okay.
The Avanti's still side to the Mongols but that bomb plant now going down for Aurora.
There's a long presence for the Mongols, but they're not going to be retaking for long, it's just the odds.
Yes, just getting the toast on out, nothing much it can do, just going to get overwhelmed as he bolts his sniper rifle, so an important on-back for the Mongols to keep this close.
625.
It's got oversight written all over it.
Oh yeah?
It's calling it now, huh?
Yeah, it might as well.
We're always on a pretty map of pro looping 25, 21.
And then another time on third map with us to his legacy.
What? How'd he get that?
Yeah, that's exactly what Tarras is asking.
He doesn't have a beard. Why are they lying?
Oh no.
They don't draw. Maybe it's the beginning of a beard.
You know, day one.
Day one?
It's like he's matching Henry's beard as well.
Yes, that's right. Sorry, you're right.
He's got the same beard as Henry.
Quick corner smoke.
Maybe we're going to see again with a long.
Magic's got a good spawn.
Nipush from Blitz.
Yeah, he's coming along the right wall.
Ooh, good shot, but you didn't know about Blitz.
Not ready for this, all you got.
Oh, Blitz going in.
Toolwalks going to take him out, no problem.
And begin to fall back going towards Torre.
So four players out long here.
Four Aurora.
I'm not completely out.
Softlight's watching that flank now instead.
This is a tough situation for Major,
because he's like, all right, we have long,
but they know we're all here
and we don't have control anywhere else.
And he might still be pushed up mid.
Yeah, so...
It's either we go along with four straight away or something like this where you sort of double back and take your time.
Blitz was very smart.
Ooh, even better now, 9-10 to remove one from long, but Blitz has kind of pushed back to the woods lower tunnels.
Anticipated this, calls it clear, enables Tecno to push and take the space.
And now it feels like Tecno's destined to at least get one.
Depending on their spacing, it could be two.
You have to...
Oh!
Zintares!
He went a little ahead of the play, soft fly hadn't quite fully cleared the corner, but they are going to be able to run into B.
Blitz has a great timing here, oo, spot it out, and a headshot exchange. AK does prevail, 17. Low HP for Maga.
And there's an E as in Nade.
Oh, he has.
Ah, this is cooked. 28 seconds.
He's soft fly. I think he's thinking there's only winners to go back to the A bomb side, but no time.
Yeah, with the money has to walk to prevent the sound cue. I don't think he's got any time
Maybe hopefully you can like you get both kills at this morning now. They had to run like a whole time
Yeah, there's no way dude. There's only oh, there's no way drop CT get both kills. That'd be the play do it at both kills
I mean heads up from a senior though to just bow out of that with the time on the clock
Heads up six to six at the halftime. We're all tied Aurora Mongols continue next
I've been searching and searching for quite a long time
I've been looking all over without a sign
Through highs and lows that I've never been before
I've found the missing part that I've been looking for
Yeah, I've been looking for, I've been looking for, I've been searching all over, through night and day
I've been looking all over, in every way
I've bought some nice big clothes from Dark Tuesday
And I've found the lessons that I've been searching for
Yeah, I'm coming home
Yeah, I'm coming home
Yeah, I'm coming home
What I've been looking for
What I've been looking for
I've been on all over
Tommy's new waist
From coast to coast
And yet, no less
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
We don't know what's good for sex
No way! It's a perfect end!
Well, we've got some morning Karashike here, Mongols versus Aurora.
It has been a little bit wobbly, it's been shaky, but it has given us a competitive game.
We now have 6-6 tie going into the second half of Dust 2, see if the Mongols can show
us something exciting here on the T side.
And for Aurora, coming into this pistol, we've got Wakadia and Zantara on Jewel
Barrettas.
We haven't quite had the Zantara's moment yet, there's got to be one at some point.
We had a couple, I mean, you know, if you mean about screaming and, you know, it's already
there, it's already happened.
Watch this now, and he dies to like a glock cold strain.
Okay, here we go, we're on Zantara's anger watch.
Okay, yeah, I'm liking this journey.
See that would have been Zantara's.
But Wokadia took it up.
Now it's his turn.
Press will see you happy, Zantara's.
I don't know about that one.
my DHL MVP. Oh yeah okay you've got to be something for it. It's not a bad pick we're
online. Exactly, let's see it, come on. Online Taras, let's go. Get something done with the
drill bro. Is there a tunnel? Saw flight? He's got himself one of two blitz. There it is.
Classic Sam's Taras moment right there. Oh no. Alright boys, don't lose this. Don't
to find a way to lose. Make him work for it.
Oh, flash himself. Make him do the work.
Oh, play Jason when the studio lights turn on in the morning.
Yeah, it's very blinding. Can't see a damn thing.
Oh, that second smoke is brutal.
Oh, that's it. That's the piss around.
Back to the base. Yeah.
Well, I have something I was looking.
I was scrolling through the reddits.
Reddits during the halftime.
On the internet. Yeah, on the internet.
The global offensive subreddit, if you can imagine.
And I found this right there. I thought we'd bring it up. I mean, that's the old game. I know it's still kicking though
You know
The the topic of this thread is girlfriend said I'm a loser for taking CS seriously
Okay, so we're already starting out in the not so nice girl. That's quite combative
I was happy after my ESA league match today and my girlfriend said congrats
But that it's kind of loser stuff to take a video game so seriously
Well, I didn't really see it like that. I only play 10 hours per week
So I didn't think I could be a loser.
My team is one B03 away from reaching ESEA Advanced,
and I'm proud of us.
I'm proud of you too, just by the way.
Congratulations on the ESEA League match.
I'm very proud of you for being one of us
three away from ESEA Advanced.
Not an easy thing, but I guess since it's still
in the amateur level, it's not so impressive.
It's just a hobby for now.
My brother, that's how it began for everybody.
Real talk?
Real talk is the person for you would see
that you're doing something that brings you joy
and something that you're invested in
and you're putting time into,
and would fully embrace that
because they know it makes the person that they love happy.
If she doesn't see that and it's just judging
the face value of it and the assigned value
that she has for video games,
she's just regurgitating something her parents
once said or something, it's kind of cringe.
Yeah, it's not cool.
She should be celebrating the success.
We're gonna celebrate your success.
Yeah, anyone who's partners into whatever else,
if your partner's into, I don't know, hobby horsing,
you should be passionate about that.
Yeah, it should.
If it's not her anyone and she's happy.
You're not interested in because see what happens be supportive
It costs nothing to be kind and go get your shit at the AC advanced and then come back and dump harass
Yeah, dump harassing. I'm an ESC advanced player now. Yeah, I'm too good. I'm the AC advanced
Like she's got negative rounds with IRL
All right, just we're all just hanging on this girl
I mean it send it to her
Well, good work here for the rural living second round of the second half here. We're just continuing this back
Maybe he just needs to educate or more on the opportunities of esports because it's not just him
It's a different thing around
I think Yankees points should be step one
You know the education if it's there and still
I think your angle is wrong completely. He's not playing this because he wants to be a professional necessarily
It doesn't matter if he's trying to be professional or not because that's like making an excuse
I go justifying it because you're like I'm gonna make money then no one's just do it cuz you love it
You love it and then you play it you play it dead, of course
Just like we all expected however blitz does pick up the AK and tries to catch the timing he's searching he'd be searching
He's been spotted in headshots
Okay, just the long player to worry about
spot him as well. Rotation from CT is coming, McCarty wants to land a hand, he's got Util,
full belt, he's getting cleared, but oh dear, lazy clear. That's an old poem, my grandma
used to read to me. Well, it runs.
Well again, this is, this feels like a face of Puck right now. It's just so many fights.
It's scrapped, this is what happens when you lose that second round too, things just
tend to get scrappier. And I think as Yanko mentioned as well, like sometimes
like the T side for Mongols is gonna be a struggle so you're gonna see some mistakes and because
it's like maybe a little bit a little bit you know rough around the edges I think a roars gonna have
to play you know against a rough around the edges so it's it yeah it's gonna get weird but it's good
weird yeah it's good weird it's good weird not bad weird what's bad well I'm trying to think
of like you know like it to form vegetables usually bad weird it's like I don't want to eat that
you know when I'm sure it's the same vegetable I'm sure it's fine okay I got I'm back
I like the guy coming up to a bar with no pants asking to buy your pants. That was that's bad weird. That's bad weird
It's kind of neutral weird to be honest
It's great story
I'm actually appreciative of Sam's
We used to we had one thing one year in America the they did for St. Patrick's say they did green ketchup
And you wouldn't think it's a big deal
But if you try and eat green ketchup
Mentally because it's green it tastes a little bit different and that's bad weird. Yeah, that is bad weird for sure
They did like a science experiment. They said the least in unappealing color is blue like you they gave more different flavor scrambled eggs
Oh, no, they all scrambled eggs in just different colors and everyone reported the blue scrambled eggs were the worst tasting sure
Yeah, blue is a terrible tasting color. Why would you want to eat blue apart from like a blue raspberry?
Oh nice blue drinks. Yeah plenty of blue drinks
It's starting to happen for Aurora.
The TILS is almost in full effect, you can see Voxic pushing up mid in a 4v5, I get it,
but no one is anywhere in the realm of his vicinity from his teammates.
No support, no utility, no bait, no nothing, and he's just full committed to the top
mid angle.
Easy clear for 9-10.
Easy.
Easy as a...
Apple pie.
At least they'll save these guns on Aurora.
Rock and roll.
As long as they smoke themselves, it doesn't matter.
Oi!
Thank you.
Yeah, Molly, it doesn't matter.
I feel like Aurora is going to have to be a little aggressive and disruptive on this map to win this game.
I feel like when you talk about the tilts, the biggest thing that I always notice in tilts
tilth is like team stop coming stop being proactive stop like playing the game of
counterstrike
yeah for me it's just they start making solo plays too much they don't try to
connect with their teammates they're just like oh I'm gonna go for this
aggressive peak or I'm in the mid run I'm gonna go for this
re-clear or whatever
no no the camera
Oxy's got a nice little set of the logo that web cams like a
duct tape to a pole
I like that
it's not falling off
genius
take notes, Ken
didn't know Polish people were into bondage that much
somebody come get her
she's dead
sing it, baby
mm-hmm
musical deterrence
front of the deck
no, you can't
I don't have a song on my head right now
so this is great
it's not a musical
but there's something about hearing somebody just break into a little bit of a jingle
that makes you automatically happy
I hope so
absolutely no matter how good about it is it's gonna make you feel a little bit
happier just a little 9 10 is gonna hit something on the cross oh yeah I've been
to the future here five minutes ahead of twitch chat yeah it's compared to us
what are you this power without be used to us if I could be two minutes in the
future two seconds two seconds probably not no because I knew it was gonna hit
it about two seconds before yeah that's gonna get me far two seconds
This isn't a lot of time to process and react, listen.
Alright, you could be a really good fighter.
Might be enough to avoid fatherhood.
Yeah.
That's good, man.
That would be all I needed, that's all.
Two second heads up.
I'm out of there.
Alright, three on three.
This would fix the tilt if you somehow win this round.
Santaris is giving you two.
Yeah, the fact you have to say, somehow.
Yeah, I did not think so.
There's no clear avenue to be in this round.
Unfortunately, the two high HP players have no armor, no guns.
Yeah, Woxic took a tick as well, so they hurt him along, and then they hurt him falling
back the whole way.
This is good.
It's done.
10 to 7.
Triple digits.
Triple digits!
Triple digits!
We're into overtime 60!
I wish I could just be American for a day, just try it out.
Mate, what happened?
Ladies and gentlemen!
Come on over here.
Sounds like a basketball game announcer.
Yes, that's what I wanted.
Or Chicago Bull.
Yeah, I did something about, like, I think it's just my British brain, but hearing
sports, American sports commentary, like, they love, I love the delivery.
You can't do it in an English accent.
You have to do it in America.
Mate, it's, why are you saying it like the British accent is?
Another ball game the British accent is like a broadcasting cheat code. No, well, there's certain sports. Yeah, I
Mean, maybe perhaps but I said my I personally absolutely love an American sportscaster
Okay, his name is Jason. Thank you. I was
Yeah, it's just a confession. I mean talk about catchphrases the Americans are Kings
It's like in every
And yeah, you know commentary it's all like on a cold windy night here in run wherever we are in stoke a young art in 10 years
It's a full poem. I like that. Thanks a picture. Yeah, I love those guys though. They've written it down
That's not cool if you've written it down
Whereas the Americans are just going oh, well, I would say the English written off a teleprompter for a while
They use those two main guys in like games to whether it's FIFA or pro evolution
What's his name? I want to be Scottish
Think they would know this think winners everything he changed the last the last three games
I think they changed the commentary though, but yeah, but those guys were kind of this was fun to a smart and Tyler
It was nice to double dinners and be raised on life. Yeah
And it's the same lines
You're saying a FIFA game, but you're raging and you want to throw your controller against the wall?
That would be cool to be the FIFA content.
Well, it's the best day here in Stockholm, Sweden.
These games are in fact online, so none of that matters.
However, the sun is shining, despite it being a little bit chilly.
It's a little chilly.
I'd say it's hoodie weather, not jacket weather, as we enter into the server.
Definitely wear your pants.
Definitely wear your pants.
This is definitely jackets weather, but the address is from Michigan, so this isn't really cool.
This is a shirtless weather. It's not cold. I said it's pretty
Insulation insulated hoodie, you know
Just a regular hoodie regular regular old. I just agree the CSL. Shop. GG hoodie
Yes, I'll that shop that GG. I grab yourself a basement. Well, I don't think it's yes. Oh, but just CSL shop. Dude
Need that it's shop to the ESL.com
Shop. Yes, you know what in five seasons of pro league
I don't think the producer has corrupted me on the shop once so I'll take that you know. Oh, it's my fault. Okay. I
Said I'll take it yanko. Yeah
Both of you. Yeah
Okay, we both have to bear it so it's chill today. Gotta be our best baby. Yes. Oh
Yanko promised us this was gonna go three maps, but if my uncle's windows, too, I know it changes things doesn't it?
I've never been wrong before. No
First time ever
Santaris your time to strike off the back of the car great work fantastic from
Santaris didn't know MZ was a Sean Paul fan because he beat burning I don't know
from what I don't know I don't know that one so I'm just not got the right
temperature
All right, okay, I was hoping you'd get another one that night, man
Shut up all
I can't
Okay, I like that. I just wanted to see I'm just testing you in yanker home. I'm just asking the other day when I
Playing some Sean Paul in the green was like, can you guys understand what he's saying or not like is it because I don't understand a word
It's I pick up every like that
That's how you need it really.
Sounds like every third one is the real word, like, you're in between and it's just messing
around, sounds, just throwing fakes.
Talking of throwing fakes, they're just going to go big, which is not a fake necessarily,
but I'm just trying to speak and make sense, so here's Blitz walking on in, and he's
managed to find the opening, another requirement!
Oh dude, save, immediately.
Round over.
Oh.
And with a couple of those in the first half I did I think yeah, a lot of teams are getting really really good
I just kind of waltz under the b-bombs. I hear on this too. Unfortunately for all without it
I was pushed them all goes up to 11 rounds now on the T side
And it doesn't look them in two rounds a row which I'm the hunts on to which they haven't done in the second half at all
So money is going to go to a little bit briny
spreads
I'm actually gonna be very happy about that.
The problem is like sometimes with this B defense, right?
Because teams do B rush, B pop on the last stick of Molly, right?
Sometimes they just do like a sort of a quick B execute.
And the way to depend against these three different things, they're doing three different things of your own.
Right.
You kind of have to play step by step by step, and that's why you see teams sometimes don't want to use...
Fine, just as you can.
No, but there's no models. That's shit to lose all those guns.
Did you see the did you see the way 9 10 just yeah, I just want to be home
It's just jayma would never never. Yeah, you're right. Just now was kind of crazy. Yeah, that's actually way too much
You see like you put the smoke down. Yeah, I
Had so they could just swing on him. I hope they replayed it. Oh, I don't know why you would
Lose for four weapons going for that hunt. You have no money now
Well, if the hunt were to be successful, Aurora wouldn't have had anything, but I'm always
of the notion where I buy money first before I look into other people's pockets.
This is a great general philosophy of operating in life, really.
Get your money out.
Yeah, I think that's why sometimes these B-Pops succeed, because if you spend all
your utility to stop this early stuff, well, what are you gonna do if they do a B-Split
30 seconds left, you know, you just...
Just kind of die.
So you need to... If you do spend your utility early on B, you have to make some sort of a place somewhere
in the mid-round to be able to rotate over, to get some info, to get a man advantage.
It's quite rare you see this boost on the T side having to catch like the sweep of Woksik.
He hasn't gone for it.
It's good one though.
Yeah, it's cool.
Now, you're hoping to cause a reaction.
That's the last of the incendiaries on A.
And you've got, what, 40 seconds for this A finish?
I mean, you can always drop into a mid to B split, right?
But this looks like they're just going to finish on this exact upcat walk.
Maybe a little bit of a drop to help them scale.
Santara's at rail, walks to get corner with the AWP.
He's got the first.
Lovely.
He's Minade.
A, he's Minade, does do damage.
So Taurus though, look at the blip on him, and he will hit his headshot on Cobra, still
going to support out long as well, Mongols backing off into short, and this is where
the damage from that previous round to their own money really comes into effect because
Aurora is going to be up to 10 rounds, Mongols won't have enough money, we've likely got
a tight game because of that.
This is even worse because, I mean okay, he's going to save the yard, but his
teammates won't have great money and then...
He has an 1800, so it's not the...
It should be okay for the round after.
Yeah, not gonna destroy things long term, but this does feel like a save round that you take that you didn't have to?
I think, no, I would buy here.
I would buy here. I would buy here because it's...
You're gonna go and do a crappy hunt, lose four guns, force up...
I obviously wouldn't do the hunt part.
I would save and then...
At this point in the game where it's 11-9 I would buy because if I lose then I equal at 11-10 and I still have a buy at 11-11.
And you have an AWP in place, so...
Yeah, whatever. They put themselves in a really weird place, having to make a tough decision.
Forced up around the AWP, not pretty.
I'll turn a variation of this forward short set-ups, and Torres is tucked in with Woxic just trying to hold for the short swing.
That Molly will force that boxing and centares to retreat
So just taking their typical map control not gonna fight tooth and nail for the fights
Yeah, sometimes you don't want to just play back even though, you know, they have
Pistols is because once they start running out short up post up it can be tough. So
They got control the middle of the map now spreading out for a mid to be split blitz gonna
be the soul attacker at the double doors got that Diggle Blaze all this is what you need
this is what you need
Just perfect I get it for it should work I swear it shouldn't work
That's outrageous! Oh my god!
We don't really ever get punished for that, hon.
You know, this is exactly how it's always meant to be.
I can't believe you're paid out that convincing.
I know.
Now for Aurora.
I think 910 can see two seconds into the future.
It's a superpower.
Yeah.
If they were a second faster than that flash play,
they would blind everyone,
and KDA probably gets a multi-kill in tunnels.
Right.
Not meant to be it feels like for Aurora.
I can't believe we're going to get away with it.
They're going for another hunt, Jason.
I know.
Probably are.
All right, well, no looking good.
I mean Aurora has been given some chances to get back into this game, they just can't
take them and I feel like I can't help but just keep repeating myself that it feels
like this B defense.
I mean both teams struggled with it, but this half now that Mongols has just been
able to kind of walk in three times now and this one on such an important round
yeah you get very unlucky with the timing of this it just works out perfectly
for 910 to recover them for crazy the way you're able to just kind of stroll in
like it's no big deal 12 to 9 3 rounds 3 chances for the Mongols to take this
opening map and why not let's do one more time we caught it didn't look mad
enough last take of the Molly there we go right through the technical great
opening frag and now you told it in the back of the site so it goes up defensively
trying to keep them alive so it was yes in his way through the smoke he
eventually get that kill as well and more calls are into the people on site
this time around have to try and go for the retail on this drop close to the
double doors they haven't picked it up so one's gonna slide through measures make
it a play good find one for one mongols have to settle this down before they
get that bomb planted I haven't minded that from that Jeff Fahrey audacious push
on the smoke want to be disruptive to the settle
feels like they want to go on a bomb tick oh that's gonna stop them okay
you are responsible here so tires he's gonna clear you oh I say that he made
any peek into the orb beautiful now both backs turn a clutch for 9 10 that's
game just to concluded Aurora's pick and they don't manage to convert this
those things into tailspin disastrous for Aurora they're gonna have to come
back Mirage
I'm going to have to get the trash.
That was a...
I'm going to get the trash.
Here.
Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.
Gentlemen, excited for the show? Don't shit yourself. This isn't the quarterfinals.
That pulls through.
All right, boys, buckle up.
Our objective to yank Blade's strap book.
The crown jewel of strategic documents.
But where Blade goes,
his strap book goes with him.
To make matters worse,
his hotel room is a fortress
equipped with generational security.
This woman was suspicious.
Her hotel mirror was a two-way mirror
and someone was watching her.
The final catch, at night, his room goes into full lockdown.
That leaves us one window, Blades midday nap.
Navi's performance coach has been bragging on socials
about the team's sleep quality
and by the looks of it, Blades out cold
for a solid 15 minute window.
Okay, so the plan is breaking this room,
What is inside?
Hmm, sounds like a piece of...
...sick-san.
Don't worry.
Whilst Blade has Gen Z security,
we have Gen Z stars.
Look at me, Blade.
I'm the captain now.
I'm in this office, lonely still
Not old-fashioned, but post-y old
If I went in the hay, cause too long I'm king of the hill
Put down the weapon
You're not here to kill the guy
Sorry boss
Oh, and don't forget the juice
Good luck for it
Sasha, please, please don't come back
Please, don't come back
Hmm.
Sasha.
Hmm.
Boys, no fighting sleep.
Abort.
No!
Sasha, please.
Repeat.
Abort.
You're not here to kill the gun.
Look at my blade.
I'm the captain now.
I really need some sleep.
Out there in the wild, they could never sleep.
What?
It's the question everybody always asking were you paying attention and this is exactly
what we're going to decide for in this little segment.
I've rather been listed questions based off of the first map kind of, in a way, loosely,
sometimes.
Sometimes very much, sometimes maybe not so much.
And we split you guys into two teams.
Very interesting these teams.
I think your microphone's off.
There we go!
First time on a broadcast or a trial?
Best time?
No, I don't.
No, I don't. You know, that's what I get for trying.
Yeah, yeah. Well, we don't have one of those.
Are you happy about your...
I love my team. I'm very happy with my team.
You're kind of asking me, aren't you?
Alex is clearly paying attention to all of the details.
That's something I've always done, Freya, is pay attention.
A lot of attention.
Yes. Alex Richardson, detail-oriented, memory like a sieve.
And then we've got Dad and Son combo.
Yeah, let's go with that. Yeah, I'm doing the math route team
down and send team. I'm not even going to try and pull it up.
Is it a steel factory at 12 years old? He almost died. Yes.
Did you know that? Yes, he told me I was paying attention for
it. I was paying attention to this was in a steel factory.
We nearly died. Wait a second. Do we have different noises
for each buzzer now? I don't hear a single sound. We don't
But that's fine. I hear it and I guess I'm gonna have to determine
Who wins who wins she says too much. That's too much. I have to read and look at this time
Jesus, okay, please. Let me finish the question for you buzz in
It's not mobile choice. Thank you. You call being buzzer man. I don't want the responsibility
Okay buzzer beater question finishes you buzz you answer. Hopefully you get it right question one
Who's Matt pick was does to
That's impossible. This is actually impossible.
It was Aurora's map pick.
It was Aurora's map pick.
Question two, what was Yanko's critique of the Mongols on this very map?
That their CT side was weak.
Yeah, they're about, reactions a bit slowed at the same time.
You didn't say that. The T side was...
There was a number of criticisms.
One on one.
Three, who won the first pistol?
Yanko Aurora.
That's indeed correct. Did they manage to convert it?
No, they did not.
They did not compose.
That's like a...
Just go up question, quick question.
I really don't get question 4.
And how did Mongols win in said round?
Is it in your deal?
And?
No, it was mainly the turning point.
Over a double kill.
Yes, and?
And a blitz couch.
There we go. You're going to get the point.
Yes, Janker.
There's steel in here.
You didn't know there was a multiple choice thing in the Valdana?
What was a multiple choice?
I was thinking that was that was made the main turning point in the round
Was that the question you think if Muzinho just got a two-deagle cuz they would have won
Okay, well you would have been wrong. Yeah question number six. Who was the first player to hit double-digit kills?
No great guess
Yeah, I was wait, let's do it really
No
Think about early game, who had like a pop-up in the early game.
Oh, oh, someone got an ace!
Who got an ace?
Are you not thinking of them?
I don't remember.
It was indeed Blitz.
And which round did he get the ace in?
Which round did Blitz get his ace?
Four.
Oh, it's so close, but it's not correct.
Yeah, there we go.
You can have it, you can have it, three.
What colour is headphones?
Pink.
Oh, I don't think.
Pink.
Pink.
I'm just helping it.
I'm just happy to...
What of them?
Our answers.
Yeah.
Right, we moved into the second half and I'm going to give you a true or false question.
True or false?
Aurora won back to back rounds on the CT side.
False.
False.
That was definitely you and that is indeed false.
Definitely.
Who plays on B for Aurora?
So fly on a wikipedia.
That is indeed correct.
Did it go well for them?
No.
No.
You're very bad.
We've got another question.
We got another question.
What?
He's brilliant.
Players were wearing glasses during the game.
Three.
The answers were in the chat. It's incorrect.
Two. Technic on Soulfly.
Oh my God, you gave me the answers. Correct.
Look at that bonus points.
I told you he's got that special brand.
Special brand.
What was the top frag in the server?
Nine-ten.
We had a little weather update during this, what was the weather report from Jason in terms of clothing?
It was hoodie not jacket.
Do we agree?
I think you won that one.
I wore this outside today.
You were outside for like two seconds, Jason.
If you were walking to work and you walked like that, that would be respect.
Jason, side note, like when, this isn't a question by the way,
What months do you start wearing shorts?
Are you like an annual shorts wearer?
No, I don't really like shorts.
When it's like proper summer, when the heat's really slightly...
It's proper summer.
You know, Jack, the Vitality, like...
Yes.
...formance guy.
He was wearing shorts in Cluj-Napoca during Snugga Snow.
Genuinely snowy.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
I ain't got that silver.
Board of endless matchmaking, take your first steps towards EPL.
Experiencing real strategies against teams of your skill, learn more at fce.gg.ec.
So what is it my son?
That is trouble in you.
For a love, I feel for my teammates.
We're still in the place of such misery.
Aims in you, that poor boy, still makes him terror.
9-10, the way he crumbled, he should bring him to 9-1-1.
I thought we'd have to call an ambulance.
Fear not. The Mongolian resolve is firm.
Yes. Mongolian blood is strong.
Now we're talking.
Things have been better since Ketion got kicked.
We even won our first S-tier laugh.
The CCT tier.
All is well, except for poor reactants down.
I'm sorry, what was that?
The two have suffered.
You were shouting and smashing the walls?
Yup, even comfort tests.
You fucking piece of shit!
So unlucky, kicks happen every week and yet somehow they get hit with a nickname.
Unlucky?
Father, you think I forgot?
I am familiar with your content.
I really get sad to announce that Stabby and John...
Stabby and John.
And perhaps it is you who should confess your sins.
Stabby and John.
Stabby and John.
There is a little bit of Stabby going on here.
Can I have this one?
Wow!
Wow!
Eco-fragger!
Yeah, would you mind that?
That is funny.
Funny?
I think that's not highlight for me.
Oh, that's highlight!
That's mine!
That's a highlight!
That's a real highlight!
I agree with that.
That's my 100 years' luck.
Is it against the time?
Yeah, it's okay. It's eternal fire.
Did you fail after you hit that?
Oh, I feel like we win. We win.
We already win.
It was a long ride.
Absolutely in the mud.
This is Kevin Leeson.
Wow.
The Cowboy! Cowboy!
Mr. 4K.
I think it was really the cannot went for here.
Yeah.
Yeah, we like it really.
Yes.
This is the copy of Mongolian.
Of course.
Please drown, do the important drown.
That's a good man.
That's a good one.
Not the best.
For prayer.
I guess it's not a prayer.
Yeah, I guess it's not a prayer.
Do you need to play it?
No.
It's Antares.
Mr. Antares.
What is it?
Antares Peak.
It was for abs, right?
Yeah, for abs.
Yeah, I remember.
Oh, that was a good one.
Two in four.
In this match, the team speak.
I will defuse, I will defuse.
Stay alive, stay alive, make noise.
I will defuse it.
That's the only highlight from this map, I guess.
Because I was like,
only three kills in this entire map.
Sadly, we lost it.
But we will manage to win the best of three.
The Mongols have broken through and taken victory 39 on Dust2, now we're moving into Mirage to
see if the Mongols can do it in a 2-0 fashion. We thought this could possibly be 3, but it
has a feeling that this is going to be a 2-0 now with the way Mongols are playing today.
Yeah, it was predicated on Aurora winning Dust2.
I felt that teams were just going to exchange their map picks.
Really, in this one, Mongols usually struggle on Dust2,
but they're very strong on Mirage, and it's vice versa for Aurora.
But losing those antiforce buy rounds for Aurora
really hindered their chances on the first map.
So now they'll have to crawl their way back on Mirage.
Yeah, and hopefully they can defend the B bomb site. That would be nice.
That would help.
That would help a lot.
Yeah, would be great for them.
Yeah.
Did it go up that for them?
No.
Well, we have got the top mid push coming up from Wakati.
It's coming. It could open it. 9-10.
Hitting the deck first.
We'll see if Zontaris can find some success.
There's underpass push walking right into him.
We'll do some body shot damage, but no kill coming through.
I'm surprised they even wanted to test the waters,
knowing there was aggression in mid.
You have to imagine there's a further mid setup.
Blitz takes out a piece of that and now we move into the B bomb site.
Blitz can lurk over in middle.
Major's going to try and put a stop to this.
Santaris has rotated over to market as well.
Good kill for Mizzinho.
Santaris jumping out of the window gets caught but still finds a kill.
One more can't happen and Techno trying to secure this bomb site into a 2 on 2.
This is weird.
Blitz is still in middle.
So Cobra doesn't want to stay committed to this B bomb site.
Wauksic flanking the B bomb site and they're going to find a free avenue towards A.
Well, running up through Connector.
Now entering the site, he's got a Brett Nett plant.
Can go down four blitzes post plant position.
So long way off Wauksic, so he's only going to short it down.
Coppers actually moving into a CT gets this fight soon against all flight low HP on soul flight
He still wins the jewel and so blitz has moved out of the murder hall realizes. He's got to go back into jungle
That bomb he's planted for so let's see he's got a Molly as well
They're not sticking it so I think blitz win this just based on you tell if you get this Molly out
But they're pushing him and they can't find a comfortable. I don't think they put that molly down
Yeah, the time is lost because he's got
he's got it
oh my god walks it gets on to it can he get it
still wins it but my god that would have been impressive if the molly hits off
of small fly while the defuse happens that would have been something special
i don't know if i've ever seen that actually have an impact on stopping the
defuse that's actually crazy that almost take it up bottle to the head
yeah just right to the dome but i mean for good for good purpose
Oh, yeah, this 100% I think he gets this diffuse if that if that goes through
It's a great shot so from bloodstains pose even when the plan doesn't happen. He knows he's probably only got the one tap
Zing you're getting hyped up. I love how every time you like yells against my Audi kind of looks around like
Alright, that's that's a way to do it that's an excitement in the pistol five on four now as well
Woxic has been pissed off
Freudian slip that
It'll be setting up for the a hit here the Mongols
Justice on Taurus is leaving so he doesn't doesn't love to see that
Very slow and measured. Very chill. Here's an exec. Smoke just goes up to its palace. It's not
going to matter. Only one defender here. Soulfly going to commit himself. He'll go down eventually.
See if he can get anything in this dying breath. Other than that, this is going to be a second
round for the Mongols. Yeah, but Techno's also on the lower kill zone, so he can actually pressure
if they decide to go for the save. Soulfly gets the one kill. McCarty has given a bit of a
lean over towards A, but now Techno's going to keep the other MP9s busy inside of the
bomb site. That will carve up any opportunity really unless Wakadia gets a
frag here which you will get. All of a sudden, Zontaris is racing back over to
this A site. There's no chance. I don't think there's any chance to win. There's
still time in the bombs. Zontaris can't be in here. This would have to be all
Wakadia. So yeah, no big deal. Just a little bit sloppy losing some extra
players for no great reason on the Mongol Sun. But it will be two to
nothing. And we're all good. We're gonna move into things and chill.
They're second round lost this time and I mean you get four kills as well so it's
not like a roars gonna have another buy in the next one you have this one MP9
you got to be concerned about that's about it
obviously we have some audio only listeners still I like that from the
the email well the format of EPL and our broadcast sort of attracts them
right it's more casual it's more chatty seems like it but they only
the game between a podcast and a cast.
It's more it's like a pod cast.
I'm going to let you take that one.
He did.
Side and disappointment.
It's going to feel good.
Some only only listeners of the analyst test to.
Yeah, that was nice.
Have all those nice people.
That was real.
I don't believe that was really.
Of course you don't.
I don't want to pause, you don't believe the analyst desk is real anymore.
It might just be a mirage.
Ayy.
All right, a slower round from the mo- I don't know, I'm not going to talk about it
else.
They just need to not run into a stack.
The thing is, it's not bad.
The stack, if you split properly, you can still deal with a stack.
Problem is when you all come from sort of one or two directions, and-
Maybe a little bit lazy about it. Yeah, and then the defense can focus on you
They are gonna be going into that stack and it's only Cobra who's mid for now
So utility usage going to be of utmost importance for the Mongols here to negate some of these
Close range positions. Yeah, I think the first kills are gonna dictate all of this
Okay, there's one with the Mac 10 can't convert it off the back one up in Palace so it's walks
He goes down a techno and that's basically the danger of this stack kind of set aside when the early players don't get anything done
And now the rifles just kind of show their superiority
So we go into the first gun round three round lead for the Mongols. Yeah, I told you they were fine. Yeah, you did
You did
What have you got?
Now finally a buy for Aurora and all coming out for Wauksic.
Let's see if he's still pissed off. We'll see. First off, can make him a little bit happier.
He might need to be pissed off. I feel like an angry Wauksic would be tough to play against.
I'll wait and see.
Some people get stronger as they get angrier.
Sit floors for one.
Yeah, they definitely power up with anger, famously.
And hatred.
Well, what are they around?
You can be very powerful at the moment.
I've got 9-10.
I had CobraZara out middle.
No peeks from anyone on Aurora just yet.
It's interesting seeing how confident they were on Dust2
and how much they were just kind of attacking into bomb sites here on Mirage
opening things up much, much slower, being very far back.
We haven't even really taken our first steps until like the minute and five second mark.
Back to the A bomb site we go. They haven't really moved across the map. All they've done is got blitz in position at top mid.
Okay, simulating B splits really with the smokes.
Good flash.
Well, Woxic under a lot of pressure now off the back of triple connects under Copa Zera and moving to the site, Mzino,
threat headshot, he tears him up, Techno also assisting in the follow-up on Zontares,
at least Riccardia and Matcher in a 2v3. The bomb is implanted yet, but eventually is going to go down.
And now it's a retake, so just a smoke available for that, but a wallbang,
before she traded immediately.
Just look how far away Major is though.
They almost felt like they were going to go for that kill to bring it into a 2 on 2,
but the fact that he's just so far off with no kit as well as this means there's
no chance there's not even an option to attempt this retake.
For what a nothing for the Mongols and pretty chill.
And maybe just a bit too static from Aurora in that round.
You know, they didn't necessarily fight for mid.
They conceded mid control to the Mongols, but they didn't get anything else in return.
And that setup on A was flimsy really, I mean it would work only against some sort of a contact play
One flash forces Woxikov the angle that leaves all fly exposed
He died way too quick too, didn't he?
He was the guy
Yeah, he died so fast
A second flash from 9.10 also crucial
Alex has just returned, do you want to get some food?
It's good man
Did you have the lunch?
Yeah, and actually, I don't know if you knew this, but there's tagine, which I think is chili salt.
Cool.
You can put that on this bag bowl. Give it a kick.
Really nice.
Tahin.
Tahin.
How did I say it?
Tajin.
Yeah, my bad.
Well, tahin, tajin sounds like a commander.
But still sound like a zombie commander.
He's a picker.
We've got him.
You got him so quick.
Quick line and sinker.
Anything I missed? Mongols of one and a half?
No, you haven't missed anything really. It's kind of just been default, chill, very slow and then eventually they say we're going to pick your defense apart.
Kind of like how it's happening right now.
I see, yeah. Okay, so that's just happened every round so far.
Yeah, it's just been like we're going to chill until like a minute and twenty and then from that point we're going to start doing things and eventually you're going to lose the rounds.
Yeah, okay, so a real horrible, like this is already when you're tilted from the first map, this is one of those really unfun games.
It's one of those games where they're losing because they can't even get into like advantage fights.
Right.
Which is really frustrating because then you feel like you can't actually do anything
You just feel like you're outplayed every single time someone's a step ahead someone's two steps ahead
And we're not playing that. I'm where we're paying attention again. They don't got double digits. Yep. No, okay, just make sure
There any questions about the pistol on your kind of screwed. Yeah, yeah
Yeah, but I can't tell you that I enjoyed my lunch good. Yeah, I'm fueled. I'm excited
I'm gonna go get someone dingo gets back. Mm-hmm. We're gonna do like a whole thing and I don't skip the salad
You know the salad is actually quite nice when you bathe it in oil. Yeah, well, I was gonna say what kind of dressing is it?
Yeah, yeah, it's like a bathroom or anything. Okay. I like it in this round by the way just oh there's no before we tool
Sorry, I was looking I was looking into Jason's eyes. It's easy to get lost in there. They lost it
That's an OBSI from the Mongols. This is what I've done. I brought this on them on them
You can file your complaints at my Twitter. It's at YNK. That's a YNK. I genuinely I'll do this very rarely
I will apologize yanker what the hell just happened. They're just walking out a and that the key
I was there with the one rifle and you can see it's one by one by one everyone. Yeah, so they had low HP 910 left
Was out tabs, okay?
The round I expected them to lose the least yeah, we've watched so far and that's my fault
Casted just talking about the game for once four on two seriously
I'm going to go.
Pop.
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.
Setting up Zantares.
And then he goes.
Gets one up top mid as well.
That's already looking like the round is done.
Cobra and Techno sidelined.
So you lost four rounds.
Ran out of money.
You're on Deagle's.
And now Zantares has just pounded you.
Yeah.
He likes to know when your money's low so we can just run it.
Yeah.
is there a way back in sure certainly does look less guarded you can see the
majority of the forces closer to the A site so no rs tending to the mid-boost
yeah this is the hard thing is the locks a guy yeah good point one made oh oh
oh okay doesn't matter if you've got support he has missed his opportunity
but a nice chip in from soulfly yeah Missy near might be feeling a little bit
sad about that just the Diggle he was kind of responsible for con peeking into
a bomb site to prevent that sort of peak, but what are you going to do with only a deagle?
Molotov into the bomb site, he's going to give himself a chance, goes down.
All five dead through the Mongols, Aurora lose nobody, they get to build up a ton of cash
behind this buy.
It's four to two, but they're storming back here in Mirage.
It's actually crazy.
For the pop flash?
No, just that they lost that 4 on 2. I'm still on that.
I have kind of said I didn't catch it, but like, how do you lose that?
How does it go from the driver's seat to this?
You've let him back in the game.
Oh, they're just running up the ramp through the flames.
The flying block kill? Won't be seeing a bomb block.
Counter-terrorists win.
Santara's patting his stats nicely.
just a few confidence kills you know once you get into the meat of the rounds
confidence is yeah just want to have that foundation you want to be able to hit tab
and not see yourself with like two kills yeah yeah now zantars is gonna pop off
he's got nine you can see that's that's a determined young man yeah he's
locked in that makes sense and furtose the decided if we get there
the third map. Yes sir. Yes indeed. I like that.
Tahin on a Margarita Alex. Throw that on the room.
Of the glass. Of the glass. Yeah. Oh yeah you see that's why you let him get his
ekes. Now the Cobra is extravenomous. Yes. Yep. They're venomous not poisonous.
you're gonna keep just a little concerned you can't be that look that poisonous
venomous I think they're venomous yes very question that's a really good
question to the engineer or something and I only know in the context of snakes
being venomous not poisonous but I couldn't actually explain it and they
synonyms venom is poison I think they I think the differences is how they
enact upon your how they kill you like I think poison I say a venom and affects
your blood you know like have you seen when they put snake venom into like a
you know pig blood or whatever to show you them hold the phone Alex it's not
missed this no Jason you can't bring back like one round that you missed by
you know paying attention to another they might win this oh they're fine
winning this not fine it's in by a very venomous slash poison a snake oh
Oh my god
It's not fine. It's not fine in any way. It's falling apart actually continually won't get a single kill
Okay, they will
Don't die. Just don't die techno. I need you to live. Walksick hasn't even moved. He's coming in super late
Yeah, easy killing. Yeah, you can't do anything if you're walking out. Oh, maybe you can maybe you can
See you.
It's a very bold play. Really going in at the end once his teammate had gone down, but not able to connect any shots.
And OK, Mongols is back in the lead. That's a 3 vs 5 converted.
So we're seeing a lot of rounds 1 that feel like they shouldn't be 1.
It's not equal as Albert from the previous one.
From the 4 on 2 to the 5 on 3?
No, because the 1 was way worse than the Mongols lost, because they were out of money.
Oh, major.
Yeah, I think that was just a breakdown in communication, right?
Decadia had no idea that Short was open and they could, you know, sneak up on him, which is really bad, you know.
5v3 to not have that sort of communication going.
Cobra's loving it. He's having a great time.
So saving grace for, or rather the silver lining for Aurora is the fact that they had a good economy.
So they could buy on everyone. Voxic really should have just saved that up.
It's frustrating to lose a 5v3, but could have benefited from the extra economy moving forward.
And the Mac 10 on Techno, so maybe a sign of things to come.
Maybe something more pacey from the Mongols in this round, especially after a timeout from your opponents.
He has the front spawn towards B, so let's see if he takes it.
takes it
okay here we go here we go fast-paced it's the walk button so he's gonna slow it
down but so what this mac 10 just wants to be able to be a nuisance when he
chooses to op on the other side for wikadia
walks it has his over towards triple boxes at the a bomb site peering
towards con
so venomous animals inject toxins
poisonous organisms passively transfer toxins through like that's what it is
like frogs and stuff. Nice from Woxic. Falls into place perfectly. So this is fine, you
can just shake it all off.
Okay, major. Another kill. I'm excited for 1v4. Dead. Dead now.
1v4.
1v4.
Yes, that's 5v4.
This has been like a odd half in terms of the sense of speed of it.
Every round has been very slow for Mongols.
Haven't seen them really pick up the pace or change the pace whatsoever.
And then it feels like you just kind of get to the point of action in the round and it's
like you won't, yeah, I don't know, it just...
It has got its very...
It doesn't have that like stop.
We're probing, we're figuring out the defense, we're going to try and work the map a
little bit.
It's kind of just like we're going to take this basic control and then we're
We're gonna hit whatever we wanna hit.
Well, that's the basic control.
You can see three smokes invested by the Mongols for an early mid-jaunt.
It's just gonna be Blitz trying to act bigger than he is.
He's gonna be trying to act like he's the main body of the assault.
Pulls Maga into Lava.
Oh, a miss shot from the McCardier secondary.
Oh, it can be hard if you don't hit the first,
but he's managed to find the second.
Nice work from him.
Up to the 5'7", it does very well.
Finds himself a second.
the two of them now on the site, Cobra and 9-10.
Flying back into this, there's a chance for a second Deagle headshot, but Woxic's quick with it.
And nothing for 9-10 other than hopes and dreams.
That's two kills in the round, 9-10, gonna reload that Deagle.
Tough angle to work with, Woxic some lovely shooting in this round with the AWP, double kill for him.
Five to five, we're all tied up, Aurora brings it all the way back.
And now, Mawgul should have to save again.
No bomb plant in that round?
Yeah, that's 4v2 loss against Eco really ruined their economy for the rest of this half in
a way.
Let's get it off.
C'mon Zontaris, give me something.
It's an Eco round.
Let's go for your...
Okay, we're getting body loss.
I'm away!
Missed communication.
Oh, this is awkward.
It's so ugly.
It is ugly, but it's gonna be fine.
of those rounds that gets punished unless blitz like surprises manager and nails the
first headshot and then they get a bomb down on me and I just want to the round and then
Tara starts punching his desk. That's certainly a personal advantage.
Knife him, he's going to knife him.
Oh, great picture in picture.
Oh, yeah. This is going to be good.
I mean, no reaction is amazing.
No reaction is actually amazing.
Oh, that's good.
That's the good stuff right there.
That's the second time it's that same gap though.
Oh dear.
You can't lose this though, can you?
Oh wait.
You could.
Not necessarily lose this.
this they're going now only blitz has got a zen for no care of tons of utility
you see to fuse somebody to be defuse and boys boys boys okay oh everything's fine
if we're taking their sweet time well they those down to the wire I think they
were waiting to see if the short player got anything and then there was a if
he's dead we'll probably save if he's not we'll go I mean up finally enough if
he's just like hit van and they were like force like maybe you swing and
I can kill that straight below him.
I can see that, yeah.
But...
Well, he's oddly chilled, though, for that.
Like, I would lose my mind.
In the boost window, he just walks short?
Yeah.
And he walks short because you guys missed the jump?
Because he missed the jump.
Yeah.
This is a more efficient way to do it.
Mikado shows his palm-cool skills.
As if you can do that jump and not the other boosts.
Yeah, right.
Oh, 9-10 a little bit.
A little bit frantic at the moment.
Not sure exactly which flight he wants to look for.
All it's all that is feet.
All good.
A little bit of control in middles.
Antares presses the issue, swaps out to the AWP.
ATHP.
And there goes Mazzinho.
His little lurk play doesn't work whatsoever.
Bang.
Damn, that was quick.
Not an offer.
Well, that coper's there a peek.
Okay, well it's all going to come down to this.
All six players hear a common window through the smoke, easy kill for Wakadia, Koba thought
he might have had an avenue.
Now they've done very well.
Wakadia's done just steps up for Aurora so they can leave with the lead.
On the half, seven to five, must win map for Aurora and it still mongles in the
lead if they can take it down in two, or we'll see the third inferno.
I
Welcome back everybody. Aurora 7, Mongols 5 and up and down. Topsy-Turvy, Gamer, Mirage.
We got Moses, we got Dinko, Monang's Machine, and the Counter-Strike has only just begun.
It's day 2, stage 2. G2 are a team that are in attendance.
They are indeed. They will be in attendance. So, happy guard. Obviously a member of G2.
But Wakadia and Zantara is doing the heavy lifting. Here for Aurora it seems. 15 kills
This is our time, it's 14 for Makadia. Impressive and what we've become used to I suppose as a Rora squad.
Well as I see them, I mean the winning the 2v4 seemed like a real turning point.
Mongols felt like they were just going to run away with this map.
But the fact that a Rora is able to stop them and come back on their own right,
Cobra stuck in a battle with that USP, running out of bullets, 3 left and now...
Oh god.
What is this? What is this?
Alright boys, call it off. Everyone...
How was Cobra? What is this?
It's time to go home.
It's time to just leave.
Yep.
Tobra is not a great guess around that.
No one, none of those two players had a great...
Neither of them did.
That's all fly, you're all so in trouble.
You can't lose the 5E3 though, could you?
You could find a way.
I reckon if you really put a good effort into it.
Like, Mazzinho gets modded out of sandwich but no one spots him and then 910 tracks one.
One, second is asking too much, but he's so alive.
No one's glocks quite working.
Yeah, they're all just out of the boat blanks in this round.
Yeah, all glock dysfunction at the moment for sure.
Sure.
9-10 trying his best out of jungle.
Mzinho, look at this.
Silently creeping in behind from ramp.
They're not looking out of 9-10.
Got that kill.
Mzinho!
Oh!
I didn't want that.
Couldn't get it, but his teammates are still alive.
Still two Mongol standing.
Just trying to march their way back into the street.
Taro's and Madre both taking damage.
This is doable though.
There's no kid on either one of the players, 9-10's got three kills, he's gonna sneak up
quietly along the bench, Major not peeking, that's a lovely shot and that should be the round.
Yeah, I think so, 9-10 however, three kills deep, just playing for an extra one.
They're playing this crossfire well, and he's not playing to lose, he is playing to win.
And so that will go through an important pistol converter.
You can see all the experience of a boomer in the 2v1 when the bomb's down and he just says
I'm going all the way to CT spawn, I'm taking my hands off the mouse and keyboard.
I'm playing time and I'll see what you do and then and then we'll play yeah
But the only thing that I can do to lose this round is to be active
What a bizarre
No, I didn't want to see that. I just try to talk through it is
You don't see that too often. No, you don't it was a funky one. It definitely had its own funky flavor
Like a century egg. Oh
Yeah, you had one of them. I haven't I would don't think I'd ever have one of those either
I've seen it on fear factor. Yeah, not my thing back in the day. I don't think
Isn't there a kind of ramen it's like stinky wrong? Yes, stinky tofu. It's in Tyre Taipei. It's like their national dish
Okay, yeah stinky tofu. Yeah, we when we were out there for I am Taipei in 26
I'll hold the phone. Yeah, this will be slow when I was out there in a 2016 for I am Taipei with DDK was out there
I was in the desk and we went out the night before and had a few drinks in the city and enjoyed ourselves
Dan was going a little sluggish in the morning the next day, he ordered a stinky tofu to
really fix him up.
Oh.
It was the worst decision in the world.
Yeah.
I'm not sick of it.
I'm assuming I did not fix him up.
It's not a morning after me.
I'm going to have him up in another one.
I'm just going to throw...
Oh, hold the frog, Techno!
Stepping in with the 5-7.
Three on three.
This was an attempted split towards the B bomb site.
They second-guessed it a roar.
They paused for a moment, which is a loud mongrel's tool.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Well...
It's fine.
It's fine.
Fine, he just needs to kill his Deagle. Clear it out.
Tomar Jit does do well with the Galil, but now he is Wakanda in the clutch.
This one is looking messy.
Can he save him?
Master drop with the shot, but I think they know what's up.
Waiting for that overextension.
I guess the fight he was hoping for, Wakanda bought down to 2HB.
They got the pistol, but they may not get the second round.
Mongols immediately steal it back.
Yeah, Mongols are back.
Dude, he did a... I'll say this, he lost that 1v2,
But he did a really good job of making sure he was isolated from the other fight.
That's just an impossible scenario.
That's so hard to deal with.
I played it well.
Yeah.
I mean, this feels like it's a game being decided by almost like unforced errors.
Like Mongol's losing the 4 on 2.
Aurora losing the 5 on 3 later on.
The gaps left open in short.
The miscommunication there.
This one is well with the attack from Aurora.
Two players die and they kind of pause for a couple seconds
and then decide to continue with the attack.
Mongols has arrived.
But I don't know everything just feels a little bit a little bit sloppy. There's like a mistake late in everything
Well take nines out
And a D go obviously was double eco territory here for Laura
So one of the for everything they've got at this again try to split through the A site got magic going through ramp
So fly currently held back in Palace
But Wokadia is the threat right now. He's in the window room.
He's coming out jungle now, cover his air up.
Shutting down the connector, play forward. There's Wokadia!
Another one! No, but Woksek will. He's in a clutch. It's actually winnable.
A 1v3 here for Woksek. He's got the first already.
It's very, very winnable. Deepnate in. Chunks him down to 85.
Defensive smoke. Gonna let him move around the bomb site.
Oh, over the top! That's lovely!
At least that was the low player.
This smoke puts so much pressure on Tecno, so, oh ho ho ho ho!
Well, it was winnable.
Tecno wins it like that.
So wallbangs through default.
Tecno didn't even have a kit on his back either, so 10 seconds stick for him.
And a nice try there from Woxic, really making that a threat for Aurora.
One of the Tec-9s, but couldn't quite get it done and now Aurora still don't
have enough money so we're actually gonna have a tight game coming up that's
what it feels like real real quick hold on they're actually they're buying a
roar they'll be buying here it's just wild I'm not I'm not against it just
because again it came down to a 1v1 they've done the damage you know you
haven't a breaking point it's just a it's just a big risk they had a round
to play with so it's not like this is gonna dictate the entire map but this
will give Mongols a much more significant advantage if they're
able to come out on top and you're gonna keep going right at the AWP oh come
off I'm just on timing glitz nails this the frag onto soulfly it's at this
moment they wish they could take this buyback yep right now run back to spawn
oh wait no refunds it's gonna be a real uphill struggle now this does that a
lot doesn't he like just goes for these timing sprays top middies more often
than not doing damage, but this time he's found a full kill.
He's got like a glaivesque quality to him in that way, doesn't he?
Yeah.
Where he just seems to like have a sense of when they're timing, when they're transitioning
to something new, when they're shifting their stuff.
It's a nade cue as well, like we wait for that second wave, that next flash, and then
he starts to spam, and he's dead now.
There's a bit much.
Oh, the flash is beautiful!
It's awesome.
He gets set up!
I mean, that is handle round, but he leaves with three.
You bought, he's looking at your corpses, he's seeing rifles, and he knows.
you don't do i love it
that's actually really cool
and uh... for now for a role like that risk doesn't pay off
now you get down to pistols
it's gonna be the
the lead taken from on goals
and had such a buffer here for a role
they did this is uh... yeah this is this is the bad end of that gamble is like
you just get put in way more of a whole day you have to dig out
so d goes on the aurora side of things were tied up in a no armor for the
attacking side
and mongrel is going to start feeling like they have free reign of the map
one zingyop stepping up into the palace
pushing a catchmatch just to open up frags though
so nice and easy
no funny business in this round
no not at all this one's uh... this one's pretty simplistic no one's even been aggressive
So nine to eight as Mongols take a little bit of a lead
Stinky tofu Alex. I was just thinking about that black
What are they doing to it? I don't know what they do to make it
So yes, I don't know what they'd prevent it with and slash in
No, that doesn't sound my favorite thing and it does stink. Yeah
No, I mean like I'm sure it's a delicacy and I'm sure that there's some flavor profiles that I'm not
I don't even like regular to review to yeah, I mean either not great
I'm sure if I go was that the guy you know a Michelin star chef could make toffee tastes good. I believe it
Yeah, it's just a texture isn't my favorite. Yeah, that's not great. Well, you can do firm
You can do I prefer it firm for firmer sticky to is fermented in Brian made from a mixture of green such as fermented milk vegetables
mushrooms, mustard greens and winter melon dried shrimp, fish and sometimes meat.
It's not for me. Not for you? Not for me.
The brine undergoes natural open fermentation from several weeks to months, allowing for microorganisms to break down proteins in tofu,
and produce the characteristic pungent odor.
To be fair, microorganisms are pretty important.
Yeah.
Kind of the whole world functions on them in a way.
Yeah. Pretty important.
You can never trust an atom.
You make up everything.
On that note.
On the note of microorganisms.
Here we are in round 18. We've got an off of the hands of 910.
We've got all AKs for the Aurora side of things.
A very mid-centric defense, three defenders fighting aggressively off cat, underpass and con.
Nazinha wants to push.
Defense, he's a little go.
just be bored like if you guys are gonna come to us I guess I guess we'll come to you
oh blitzes I mean taking liberties you're not spamming that if you haven't got
someone close top mid here's a flash here's the peek oh so nice cover important
cover nice opening frag provided it's Woxic providing the covering fire now
Cobra's there is forced off the line and these braves to be taking fights he
had one under as well so they have a good idea that yeah it's about three
maybe four mid I like this this is the reaction as well we mentioned you
You know, I think Janko mentioned in the first half of Aurora being a little bit static in a similar situation.
You can see Mongols now being the ones to move around the map. A man down, they've cleared a ramp.
Gotta know where they are. It's just a matter of stopping them.
Is the issue. 9-10 misses a chance and now the pressure cranks up.
9-10 strikes! He goes back up to the apartments as well.
But he won't actually be required because Cobra's era getting so much impact.
So Taurus has to cut the market. Now they know where he is.
So Nantank can adjust. The element of surprise was the greatest strength there for Zantara,
and it's the time that forces him into a play, and he doesn't have the ball anywhere near him.
Well, also, you've got to get credit. I mean, that's also, maybe not credit, but that's the part of
Aurora opening up so passive, and Mongol's being aggressive and holding on to mid. Even though
Mizzinho goes down, like, you're at it, that happens at like a minute and three seconds. So,
like, you've already chewed plenty of time off the clock, and now Aurora
moves someone up into window, readjusts on the map, try and go elsewhere, hit up short.
You know, you've just kind of run out of time at the end of the day to make all of that work from start to finish
Good job from Blitz, good job from 910 recovering even better from Cobra. Good protocols as well
You know when that AWPer switches over to watch holes for you
You've got to be the one to peer deep and guard his back at distance and that's a lovely kill to get to protect 910
All the way, the apartment's through the deep smoke.
Wakati up.
Think about joining this team mate on the other side of it, SoulFly, since Darcyl Fader
why Santara's kind of moving up through mid.
I think that smokes an invitation.
Like he wants his B players to activate,
chances are he could pull Cobra's attention.
That's when Santara's could strike.
It's interesting seeing Santara's
be more of the lurks like this.
Just like this.
Cobra's distracted.
Santara's flanking and there's the sign
taken beautifully constructed by Aurora.
Keep it simple.
Being stupid.
They're really well done.
This time, all girls can't hold it back whatsoever.
I think Major was like, well, we had exactly what we wanted.
We just couldn't get the finishing kills once we got there.
Let's try it again.
Because one more time, we're able to march in and get things done.
This time, most of the effort coming through the B halls.
Well, still could be expensive here for Roy, even though they
win the round.
If you can get some exit frags, there's not a lot of money built up.
Yeah, you're actually set up really well to get exit kills
if you're the Mongols, especially when he's got a smoke.
Dude, that's brutal.
Now you get funneled towards Blitz over in halls.
There's 9 taking what's short.
There's one.
And we go, ah, you need to kill Blitz, unfortunately.
Yeah, it's a lovely shot from Major though. That opens up the escape route for everyone.
So they shouldn't lose anything on this bomb explosion.
And it is 10-9.
Aurora creep a little bit closer. Plenty of money for the Mongols' defense, though.
Getting right back into a buy.
Yeah, sure, Blitz will be a little frustrating.
Couldn't get much damage done there on the exit because...
The fact that Mongols do have so much to buy up again,
If you're going up against even some weaker weapons at all here for Lord,
I give a great chance for Mongols to continue to build on this lead.
Let's see if it's enough for a war on how they caught their second win.
So you tilt towards top middle, break each of the smoke, and blitz not catching his opportunity,
or sending an aid into his magic.
Do we got cost room in today? You know, who's the big customer Europe in the morning? I have no idea good question
Who's your man? I don't know. He's on this game streaming. There's no one really
No, really? Okay. Well, I
Currently have a more for reply. Oh, yeah, what's up you more?
He's streaming in Turkey. I'll be now watching us. I'm sure it was here. We could say that. Yeah, probably
Nothing else not really, okay
It's good for us. Yeah
Finally no one taking all of you who's away
Oh
That means if there's a big play
We're back to be our casting already and not us slightly in the background. There we go. Oh, yeah, true. There we go
Oh, this is the bomb
Cobra
Look back away still called
He's going to actually have a smoke that'll help at me stands in the smoke. How does he do this?
Okay, this is gonna end up being a split towards the 8 bombsite.
A single shot from Gombra!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
It's in Xenia, we can hit a frag back here on Soulflight.
Bomb's gonna cross.
And he can another one.
Interesting peek, he finds three players when he goes back out into the open.
Not happy about that and taking a single kill, so Gombra 1v2.
Oh, not far off.
He just tagged him one more for good luck, but not gonna hit it.
Damn.
All right, you got pulled apart if your mom goes there a two-man attack
I mean a deep shot with the AWP, but look at where all the defenders died at the A bomb site
Nobody's actually in it
No one's actually able to make the turn to kind of stem the tide of the attack up the ramp
Last one was a great round for Zontara's great round this time for Wakadia still carrying Aurora
Why does the tide going to now Jason isn't at the moon gravity?
This is a scientific answer, but the drill cancer?
Oh, yeah, I think both.
Was that a set up for a joke?
No, moon.
It's giving me words.
Moon.
So the moon controls the waves, like a moon god.
Yeah, OK.
Gravity pulls the, and gravity pulls,
because we're over the Earth rotates.
The Earth rotates.
It's not flat.
It's not flat.
Allegedly.
That might be a big one for you.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
The water would fall off, then.
And also gravity, it's just a theory, so yeah, you know, probably not a whole lot of
evidence for it either.
No, probably not.
Just an apple fall from the tree?
Yeah, right?
That's not enough.
Come on now.
That might be the moon god.
That guy that didn't even know to know good.
Big talk existed.
Oh, that's a lot of early space from Blitz.
I do find this exciting, however, oh, okay, he has friends, that's good.
That's good.
Can't do that alone.
Yeah, well, don't be juggling nades when it's ready for this.
Oh, he's so ready for this.
fly he's been watching your vods in Zino so mad in this moment so far oh
owned down what are you supposed to do now well one up kill over in middle that's
not enough to stop this 910 in the bombsite with an op and that's it he's
got three chill points coming at him the people dates fire everything straight
through the scope just to empty their pockets through the whole kitchen sink
well that's it starting to feel like we're going to map three inferno how did
this happen they're like when like at mongols I feel like they were in such a
commanding position winning the second round rattling off the three after the
four after that excuse me and now it's been three in a row and for Aurora in
reverse it's been what three K from Centaurus three K from Caudia three K
from SoulFloor. Yeah, just the individual. True. Some individual efforts are going well
for Aurora. Those are popping off in a way that we didn't see previously.
One round lead. How's the finances looking? 3.5 on 910. Savings good. Okay.
Cardia. Ooh, important kill from CobraZera. Hold on to the AWP. All these aggressive
moves though like the push we saw now this one we've seen blitz being really
proactive and con it might be time to like scale back might be time to get
the leash back on yeah yeah especially because when it's come down to a roar we're
trying to find a finish it's always been a bit clunky and mishandled the other
than the bee finishes I will say that their commitment into bee has been very
effective I mean both teams have been making mistakes right like this the
mistakes are gonna be there to capitalize on I think it's just kind
of it's a bummer seeing Mongols like lose players to the aggressive plays
and then not have the resources to stretch and once again an opening pick
Not a follow-up went back for more 910 trades it back.
410 trade from 910, we can't he immediately activate up the ramp with the crouch angle.
Ooh, dink exchange, AK better.
Soulfly removes Cobra's Zera immediately.
Providing the trade from Palace, but now accelerating into the A site.
That bombs on the back of Magik coming in through the ramp side.
Disconnected are the defenders and a man down.
Techno does manage to rush back, catches Soulfly, he wants more.
He gets another one as well, walks into the fight, still comfortable.
You put the bomb down, they were trying to throw the bomb across as well, so the player inside the side had to come back to pick up the bomb, then gets killed, and then the round's all gone to hell because you have to spend so much time recovering it.
Oh!
Oh, Pulse and Molly got away, did a 360!
No way that happened.
What is this? Why is this a skateboarding highlight movie?
This 3v2 at the very end that happened, so before Techno gets the 2k, this would never
happen to Paravision.
Those are the instances where they put a lot of emphasis on those micromoments in rounds.
Because it's easy to get carried away, we're 3v2, let's just get the bomb down.
just get the bomb down right but you know something like this could still
happen and you need to make sure that even in those moments like your
fundamentals are on point right that the spacing between the players is good so
the techno doesn't get to one-on-one fights in a two in a 2v3 right like and
you have all three players there from Aurora so they just need to first guy
needs to wait for the second guys they are hip-to-hip right and then
once you swing and you want to get to the bomb site and plant the bomb
Okay, he either has some crazy sort of
Spray on you and kills both of you, but you gave yourself the best possible chance to get the trade
It feels like in that round for Aurora and some teams just in general
I think have a tough time like calming things down and slowing things down in those like chaotic moments
Like you've just taken the bomb site
You've just killed the last offender but teams these days are so good at rotating and anticipating and reading what's happening that
They've arrived much quicker than you expect. So if you think this bomb set is clear
It's like, oh, we got the bomb site great. I'm gonna drop the bomb to you
I'm gonna chuck it here. I want to stay tight. I want to say mountain boxes like whatever it might be
You need to slow those moments down as I think what yeah, I was getting at yeah, thanks for man's playing it Jason
You won't
Sometimes
No scene
I don't think you can do no wrong. That's a lot of doubles and triple negatives. It puts a smile on your face no matter what. It's the E at the end of it, I think. Yeah, I think so too.
And you can't say it with low energy, you can't be like, ole.
Yeah, it's true. Ole!
You've got to turn it up.
Waxxix got the mid-hold, and the Centaur is getting picked apart.
Long range, museum-y, just body shots him, all the way from the back of a site.
Okay, it kind of feels like this is for the whole enchilada, as you say in America.
We do say that. Enchilada is incredible.
It is for the entire enchilada
the cheese
The tortilla Dan the refried beans the whole enchilada Dan
Little bit more sauce on there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah little salsa roja. Oh, this pulled 9 10 away and rock sick is
In apartment sweet and up and the bomb. Oh, this is weird
Let's fight it.
Oh!
Hey!
Yeah, but Blitz is here really, really quickly, and Woxic has no idea...
Oh!
Missed the shot.
It was close.
That's the red.
Major has to make his move, like, right now.
Let's see his move.
There it is.
One quick headshot.
You can clutch.
He's coming back.
He's blind.
You can do this.
Boss and boy, clutch.
Do this yourself.
Oh!
Into the side tap on the defuse madger now.
They're not sticking it.
That was a very nice try.
That was a very nice try.
That's a capital N, capital T.
We're going to give you a little bit of a capital O.
Tough situation. You did your best.
You left it all in the field, and that's all we can ask out of you.
Right.
Tried to snatch that enchilada right out of their mouth.
That's a spacey burrito.
Burrito.
Well, they've got guns at least.
Most of them have guns that they'll be happy with.
You have to swallow their pride in rock-a-mack 10
What's it got? No, it's not going to trousers on
No, they'll be he's going trousers for this one trousers. Let's hoping don't try it at home
Well, it's all down in the ramp. Okay
This aggression hasn't worked, but if it's just a passive off maybe it gets you to pick up
They want they want to do this on a timing. Oh, he's got you. He's got you
He's got camera in his elbow. Yeah, bang. Oh, my
It's a beefy name
Not a lot of pressure here.
This teammate, he's seen you're pointing out towards a triple stack.
Now Mattress actually got a T.
Oh, 9-10 hits a no scope.
And he's still around. He's still a threat.
He's just gonna go back out again with that sniper,
leaving Woxic alone. It is all over him.
Unless Woxic pulls off this clutch.
Niko, he's winning it. Give it everything.
He's put the bomb down here on D-5.
Oh, it's a 1H bomb.
And the utility.
Oh, lay.
If it isn't for the Aids,
a 1,11 victory here on the rise.
The Mongols getting the series done.
Don, 2-0, who were the thought that the Mongols were pulling this off this comfortable?
Yeah, no, truly. I mean, it was interesting. It was spicy, it was beefy, but Mongols, they did Wellington.
Well done.
Oh, really well done.
No, it wasn't. It wasn't.
I like it. It was good.
It's 13-11. You know what is nice? You know what is good? A two-map affair.
Nice close two-map affair.
Yanko was wrong. Get it trending. Hashtag Yanko was wrong.
We didn't need all three for this one because Aurora did...
I mean, how do you know? Let me not say... I'm not going to say it.
He was right. It could have been a Basterwaite.
Did Aurora show up today?
Is that the Aurora that we're expecting for the rest of Pro League?
Or was that just like a wonky morning?
It was a wonky morning on Dust2, but I mean, that's no excuse.
You have to show up ready to play, really,
and all those rounds they lost on Dust2 to pistols.
You know this is where you would give an edge to the Mongols on Mirage, right?
And Aurora put up a good 5-13-11 at the very end, they ended up losing another second round here
in the second half after winning pistol. So that was really the demise of Aurora in this series,
not being able to convert those pistol rounds, not being able to have good starts
and Mongols come out on top. Once more it's been a recurring theme when these two
teams go up against each other?
Yeah, Mongols definitely have the upper hand in this fight.
It's crazy to see that the Mongols still have a competitive level.
You know, I'm happy that CobraZero is coming to the team.
There's actually a solid addition to the roster.
I would have been so sad to see the Mongols drop off coming into 2026, but happy to see
they're still very competitive.
I thought it was a pretty, I don't know, I was going to say a gross game, but I
don't know.
That sounds mean.
like gross isn't like to be personally attacking this whole food bit of the
cast there's that as well that didn't help anything it just it's felt like
very mistake riddled counter today like very just like sloppy in different
moments but look they didn't get the ribba you know the mistakes yeah yes
sloppy like really I hate that for you
Exclusively B4Layered comedy, that's it.
Because the players are fans of B4Layered comedy, they're not coming on the show now.
No. They're not going to do an interview with us anymore.
They're going to ask about Tofu.
Yeah, we have somebody. Good question.
I think we want to hear this for four more minutes, right?
No, they won't.
Can you guys keep talking? I'm going to talk to Son.
Yeah, sure. I'll chat with him.
You can just talk to him.
He can hear everything you say.
Well, maybe it's a private conversation.
I cable all his stuff.
We're talking about Jason Oh well I was just asking Simon if at this point during the show because we're not doing the interview and we're kind of improvising going to flow if we're going to be doing something to fill some time or if I should be throwing to a break that's what I was asking
Okay, and he did say that at this very moment. We could throw to a break shall I ask the ball if we should throw to a break as the ball
Great technique
Let's find out
No, we're gonna be filming. Yeah, that's what the ball says as the ball
It's too bubbly
you gotta keep moving it now you can count on it
yeah time for a break
We almost had it.
Thank God that's over.

Hey, I just wondered if we could have a quick chat about the piece that we're going to be filming.
No, it is not good.
It's fine, we can do it on Magoneon.
We can translate it.
We can do it on Magoneon.
That would be soft titles.
No, no, no English.

I really want to branch out. I feel like I have so much more to offer. I have so much more range.
Telling me, bro.
I look at you and I just see Frodo.
You're up there enough to king? You seen FaZe? Maybe you retirement of the king.
I mean, I've done Joe Rogan, I've done Baron Harkin and then we played Ben Kingsley and Shitter Island and other bald guy, of course.
of course and then in season 19 they had me do this cockskate with Chad.
They put Johnny Sins as the fucking thumbnail.
It's all a piece.
To content or?
I feel like if you have Alexi Alkaib you can also have this anime like a duo chosen
one.
Kind of looking to stay semi-close to the source material.
Maybe I can be like Ben Adjessi because I'm pulling all the strings behind the
strings you know, he'll part.
Right, yeah.
Like at Cologne in the SDY convention, my big reveal was a close-up shot of my head.
That shit looked like a fucking planet.
So, what makes you think you'd be a good fit for the role of Harkinen officer?
I have no eyebrows.
No makeup required.
I mean the only time I've ever even been able to play a non-balled character was
the Boris skip.
And they add the camera guy stand up in a chair and make me look smaller.
Don't change an accent before the cast.
Look, you've got potential.
I don't know if you're ready to take the leap.
I don't know. I don't want to be typecast like Moses.
Typecast is better than nocast.
I'm 21, man.
Turkey it is.
I know a guy. He's a family friend. And it's really good price, bro.
Man, this is disrespectful. They're farming us.
Yeah, they really are. And you know what? I'm sick of it. I'm sick of this whole thing.
I'm gonna go tell them exactly what we think.
Jason, Jason, don't even start, man. We don't have the budget for the special effects and makeup.
You, my friend, are bold. You know, that's where you really...
That's where you shine.
Looks like makeup's having some issues.
You might have to shave your eyebrows. How do you feel about that?
I see you've been playing with ten year olds again.
What? Don't know, that's crazy.
What? The one we won versus that kid?
Mm, clapped him.
Alta, but it was close.
How am I losing? I'm thrice as old as him!
Tell me though, you were clip farming or?
I wish I was. Dona, I don't think I'd ever be good at CS.
Nah, come on.
Nah, for real.
Do you mind inviting me to one of his pro vs bots videos?
That's good content, or?
Dona, I was one of the bots.
Well, I'll always be there to carry you in show matches.
Man, you know it's bad when you're getting carried by a manager.

ESL presents the ESL Pro League in partnership with Intel,
Acer Predator,
D.H.L,
ZOE,
and Jax.
Welcome back to TSO Pro League Season 23. We're getting into the big game. It's going to be
Na'Vi vs G2 and we're very excited to get into this one. I mean, two teams that historically
have been incredible, but right now in a different spot.
Two years ago, you see this matchup, you'll be like, oh boy, you get the popcorn out
today. I'm not so sure, Alex. I mean...
I'm so excited.
The name value still holds, wait, as in I see these three in battle, I'm like, oh, this could be a quarter-final, in a modern-day tournament.
Yeah, the most sort of... how do I put this?
Infamy that the Na'Vi player has had in the last two years wasn't even on the server, it was on the analyst desk.
Times have really changed for them, but I don't know if Na'Vi falls into the category of phase and liquid and mouse
of those teams that needed to make a roster change?
Yeah.
You kind of have to say yes?
No, you think Novi even needed to make a roster change?
Yeah, I think so.
Because you have to remember in 2024,
they were a team of the year, major winners.
And all of that, 2025 didn't really go that way.
JL goes out.
Makase comes in.
But still, they didn't have a lot of deep runs.
sure the majors were a bright spot to some extent but it doesn't the body of
work last year doesn't didn't feel enough to stick with entire roster you know I
think everyone was anticipating impossible all being changed for Novi down
the line but that hasn't come through yet but I think the issue is there's just
not many good replacements in that department like a lot of teams
struggle to find a good all I can't there's no like immediate names that
spring to mind of like, oh, there's these free original hoppers that wouldn't break the bank
and you'd have to buy someone out of a contract, you know, I mean, that's
Well, I think it's also the reason for that is, you know, we're broadcast the games,
we do the games, there's people whose job is scout, you know, players and to keep their
ear to the ground, nose to the ground, mouth to the ground, ear to the ground,
everything, keep your head to the ground, yeah, that's the whole thing.
Yeah and you know just be that one step ahead. I mean you even look at their academy team.
They're pretty sick. I mean that's foot for all of you right there.
That's four out of the five players. Makaze was their fifth. He got promoted to the main team right so.
And Makaze is the reason that Navi managed to pick up the win in the opening game.
Yeah absolutely. It was incredible. So I think it's like that excuse of oh there's not really
clear upgrades within the whatever tier one tier two scene. I think you know you need to go
outside of that and especially when you talk about Navi and Blade you know it's
not just about raw skill it's about fitting being able to be a system
player to some extent but yeah I think for Navi it's been a little bit
underwhelming seeing how they just sort of continued into the season.
And was I here correctly? Were you saying that you think G2 were equally thrown into that
camp? I mean looking at this roster now I think you keep it, you keep
Mccasey keep Alexi keep
Who else?
Well, what about I mean? I think in there has had some incredible swings in form
I just don't think he's had one recently. What if you put email as the ideal?
I
Don't know that's such a that's never I don't think I'm just throwing that out
I don't even if you want to he's called it. He's called a couple of pistols
I think alexis, you know worth keeping around. I think he's a he's definitely you know at the time
Hey, Jason. Jason's back. Jason's just gonna settle on in here as we are preparing for a big intense discussion here, Jason, just to catch you up.
What's up? What's happening?
Janko was positing that, you know, back in the day, Na'Vi G2 would have been a very exciting, you know, you'd be expected to see this in a semi-final.
What's back in the day?
Two years ago.
Two years ago?
Yeah.
Back in the day.
Yeah, I'm with that.
And then we were discussing, you know, whether or not a roster change could have or should have happened between, you know
The season changes and for Navi and G2. Janko suggests both teams.
No, G2 not. No, not G2. Just Navi.
G2 has done enough to get some time with this roster. Let's see all the major guns for that.
It's not even that. It's just they only had the one season with Inter as the IGL, right?
And Matusch on the team like and Saw as the coach.
So I think that's fine. Like this is the season where they need to have some results.
They started off well in Crackow making playoffs, but then in Cluj they didn't.
Here, they had a tough time making it into Strange 2, losing to Payne along the way.
I think both of these teams, a lot of criticism is often thrown in the AWP department, even
for G2, like with Sampias and Geek have some quiet games.
He has some decent maps here and there, but I think people are just a little bit
disappointed with the lack of consistency Sampias brings to the table.
I think Sampias plays a crucial role in this team.
Make no mistake, I think Saw has got a very well trained, he knows all the
you throw it or everything you need for the boys.
He is setting up the play a lot of the time.
My problem is, my problem is, is that when you've done
all of that, you just need to get your one
or you need to be able to close.
Like, let's see some more Sumpias clutches.
I need to hit a shot.
Just, yeah.
That's what you're done with that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You throw your nades great.
It's just, you know, that crucial one,
like a 1v1 where you just hold the line, they peek in.
You don't miss that one and then you're actually,
you're good, you're great.
Yeah, I think Sumpias is okay here,
I think, you know, by nature of it, it's not, it's like, I think if you're an AWPer not named
Chiro, Monacee, Zywoo, you're pretty much in Mollidoy. You're pretty much getting criticized,
criticized game in game out. And I think it's fair even from our perspective when I think about
it, and I think about AWPer's not named those four, it is the same kind of story. It is like,
okay, yeah, they're gonna give you a good game here and there, but inconsistent, then
they're gonna have a fly one, then they're gonna miss some of these shots holding the
angles. It feels like, you know, out of that top echelon, every AWPer is like always gonna
to have a microscope on it because you're just a role in the team that needs to have
impact.
When you look at the game from Kluge, it was 7-5 first half on Dust2 for G2 and it was
9-3 first half for G2 on Ancient.
We didn't win a single round, both second halves, like that was just a...
It was different sides, it was different sides.
Yeah, it was CT side on Dust0 rounds and then T side Ancient, I think 0 rounds
if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, it just was a real collapse in both of those games, which is obviously not something you want to
See happen and it was a disappointment for G2 to not make playoffs in Cluj, right?
Because it's also an 80 team playoffs compared to 6 in Krakow where they were able to to make it
So they're looking for a bit of a
Bounce back here. I think for them it would be important to
make playoffs of pro league again you look at some of the teams that are not
attending in vitality and falcons and again it's eight team playoff here in
Sweden they would really need to get there and get some more rap playoff
reps under their belt. You can see the path as well from G2 you said it wasn't
that it wasn't an easy path for them couple of wins couple of losses. I lost to
Payne 0-2. It was it was I quote unquote an easy route on paper before
where the tournament started, I'm not going to sit here and take away anything from pain
or anything away from legacy, but you look at that run and if we had told you G2 a week
ago was going to lose to these teams, you'd be like, what's wrong with them?
G2?
Stage 1 was really rough.
You see all these teams, they're not supposed to lose to a single one of them.
For real, because you look at the results, they would lose to Fury, Falcons, Mongols,
Spirit, like the teams in the top 5, they were really the gatekeepers to contenders,
The teams, usually outside of that elite tier, they would be able to beat, so this may be,
in fact, it's online, and I don't know what, you know, it's a bit of a different environment
for them.
I don't know if that's the cause of it, but yeah, it hasn't been as clean as it was before.
Mattis had echoed that sentiment when we spoke to him on the couch, he was saying, you
know, he's happy to get through stage one, but very disappointed because they knew
that they could be a three and zero team.
He also said his name is Mattis.
He said it's not Colin and Mattush.
Yeah, well.
He said it's my name.
He said it's my real name, but my alias is Mattis.
And he said you can use both.
Either one's fine.
OK.
But I'm Mattis.
But I am Mattis.
But I am Mattis.
Yeah.
OK.
And where does the nickname come from?
I think it's just his name.
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It comes from Mattush.
I'm just taking the accent off.
Yeah.
Well, that's just the accent.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
As an American, I very much appreciate that.
Hey.
No accents, Jason.
No.
We don't change your accent.
We have to do maps, and that's what we should do
because that clock is getting dangerously close to match live.
So what's find out what maps there are?
Someone in Twitch said that's when the game went live.
If you'll hear this four minutes from now, a minute and a half away.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what the number in the bottom means.
You can go ahead and look at it, and you'll log it out.
We've got potential Dust2 to start.
You two have picked it. CT start for Na'Vi.
Spicy. And then where do you go if you're Na'Vi?
Spicy. Oh, my God.
Oh, another one!
Yeah, we're going back in time.
Give me Inferno.
Come on!
I know you want to play Inferno.
Lexi?
Oh, leg.
Ancient works.
Ancient, yeah, it's better.
All right, well, do you think we're going through, Janko?
I think so, Dinko.
There's a really good chance, but not necessarily because
G2 has a big advantage of Dust and now he has one Mirage.
Neither of these teams has been mega convincing so far, especially online where it can just
be anyone's game, in a way.
Anyone's game.
And good for G2 that they were able to sort of have a clean win pretty much against
FaZe in that opening game after some of the struggles we saw in Stage 1, so they're
looking to build on that.
map Dust2, some pirates had a blinder yesterday against FaZe on Dust.
I think the cool thing coming into this game is that it was at Pro League a few
seasons back where we coined mobs as the lobotomizer. It's a ZSL pro league mist.
The lobotomizer.
You're the only one who's ever said that.
I'm not.
Yes you are.
No I'm not.
It's the lobotomist.
The lobotomizer.
The lobotomizer sounds way cooler.
It doesn't.
He didn't like Aether with them anyway.
No, he doesn't like anything.
Well, we said Alex.
But anyways, to continue my thought, now that we're back at Pro League, we can use it again.
Yes, the lobotomist.
Whatever you want. Call him anything.
Lobs.
Alright, well, yeah, we'll just have some fun then, yeah.
Yeah, let's rock and roll.
It's great.
Into the game we go, soon, shortly.
Yeah, we're a couple seconds away from getting into the game,
and everybody's excited about this one.
We got Novi G2, Novi gonna start on the CT side, G2 on the T side.
the lobotomizerist on the server and honestly I want to see what mobs is
capable of today because I have seen too many quiet games for mobs recently
yeah yeah yeah it'd be cool to have him have like a pop-off game but that just
it doesn't seem to be his his role whatsoever like he's just kind of
getting those one like really impactful kills but he's usually you know in the
thick of it you know wonderful pushing up mid seeing nothing he wanted to get
into the thick of it he's gonna get into the thick of it it's a lovely double
dink or double gush from Mattis happy about that one G2 with the advantage of
chit chat going on in there it was a little bit of typing oh it's a lot of
typing oh oh get back to your feet buddy oh my god have you got was he okay when
the pistol went live no no he's moved yeah but what's the issue okay who knows
so but anyway it's all good five seconds left he might gonna be peeking out to
the open Matt has just got the follow-up killer here for G2 they're gonna move in
with the advantage oh but the weird pistol on here but that's online
Yeah, yeah, it is all night countershares getting baited by a little bit nice knife knife knife
Oh, hey
All right. Well
Double that by catwalk. Here's a flashbang good flash
So not a great flash, but you still get both kills. It's actually a very bad flash
Have you got out towards long ready to party and he's in his seat so he can actually win this now
You will in these cameras off-center again to imagine walking off and coming back and waiting a clutch
This has got aura right here.
Genuinely unwinnable.
I say that actually by far.
He's got a kit.
Yeah, it's over.
Well, it's very, very winnable.
Very, very winnable.
I thought he had an angle.
I thought he had an angle.
I think he thought he had an angle too or else he wouldn't have played there.
His angle was kind of like his camera angle.
Yeah, right.
Off.
Yeah.
Also, gotta be, I mean, he was out of his seat like halfway into that pistol round.
I don't know what's going on.
So yeah, he probably came back into this all discombobulated.
Love that word.
makes me think of the Sherlock Holmes.
Yeah, all that, that's a great scene.
Discombobulate. Discombobulate.
Why'd Sherlock Holmes?
Because of the fighting scene.
Robert Downey Jr., he cups his hands.
Oh, sure.
He's breaking down his place.
Yeah, yeah.
He like throws a little napkin.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Discombobulate.
And then he has his enter.
I would never re-watch those.
Were they worth a re-watch?
I'd say the first one's good.
There's a second one.
It's what's his face.
Mark Strong is the villain.
is the villain. He's good at his job.
Reality. They're making a young Sherlock show.
Sure. I think we've had enough.
Bazinga. Bazinga.
Feel like Cumberbatch pretty much nailed it.
Yeah. Yeah. And then they then they lost the plot.
That's what yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. The first was it two seasons pretty good.
I kind of like the crappy episodes, though,
like the ones about the ladders. Yeah.
I kind of enjoy them while also knowing while I'm watching them,
they kind of suck.
They just they got a bit too big for their boots.
It was the one where they go to, well I guess spoilers.
Or they go to the little island prison and she's in control of everything and you're like
how did this happen?
I hate that.
I hate that.
Scooby-Doo movies are great though.
They're the real life ones.
All of them.
The animated ones.
I haven't seen the animated ones.
The detective movies.
Yeah that was Scoofy and Scooby-Doo.
But to the Sherlock Holmes movies point, it's Guy Ritchie.
So they're all entertaining.
Yeah, okay.
Guy Ritchie just makes, like,
I don't know if we should...
Fun movies, man.
It's not gonna blow your mind with anything,
but it's a well-put-together, fun, good time.
A romp.
Yeah, you don't need to sort of overthink it.
Guy Ritchie, stop blowing my mind!
You also did the Gentleman.
Yes, that was good.
That was nice.
That was good too.
Love calling Feral and that one.
Yeah, that was great.
Yeah, that was great.
Is there anything that's satisfying when he slaps those
little rascals around?
Yeah, that was good. That was a rascal. That was a good word for it.
The TV show of The Gentleman is also good. I enjoyed that.
Okay. Yeah, there is a TV show.
Yeah, that was all right.
What are we doing? We're just doing TV shows now?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, what was the first talk about, dude?
What was the Pierce Brosnan one that just came out on Amazon?
I think that's Guy Ritchie as well.
Oh, Pierce Brosnan. That's my bond.
No, it's my bond.
Marble land. Marble land, right?
I think that's Marble land, yeah.
Oh, check it out. I went back.
Oh, check it out. That's really good.
I think we should never watch League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
What?
No, the movie, bro.
Sean Connery? Sean Connery?
It's like one of those...
I went back and watched it because it was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
Exactly.
I went back to watch it now and I was like, this is not what I remember.
They've changed it.
This is not what I remember.
I remember it being so good.
That was like my top three movies as a kid, was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,
Triple X, the first one with Vigil, and Pitch Black.
That was very scary.
Wasn't that one of Sean Connery's last movies as well?
Like he really went out on a low note.
It really like you know the career peaked really early on that he ended on a bad place. I'm extraordinary
Thank you now that really
Not good maybe but apparently great comics
Speaking of comics graphic novels in city. That's an interesting movie. Sure. Yeah, that is really unique
I've never watched anything like that. Yeah when that came out. It was kind of like groundbreaking
Yeah, and I've watched some interesting stuff about behind the scenes about how they achieved some of their stuff
the effects because it does look like it's unique it looks like a graphic novel which is really impressive
so anyone that's into like movies and making movies that's an interesting one to watch there's an
angle to go for you yeah yeah I don't know I think we don't have any aspiring filmmakers
emailing into the back I assume we might the hl now that I got to watch the call engineers though
we have plenty of lore tell us tell us what you want to be when you grow up yeah because I
I don't know what I want to as you can tell by the music by the by the pause on the screen
by the webcams we're sitting at a little bit of a technical delay so anything you send into the mailbag
will have a chance to be on air. And that's going to be a big deal for you guys. Yes. Yeah. And us.
That we do. We appreciate it. What was that sorry Simon? Quick update. So disconnected that's
why we're waiting. Oh, connection issue. And then this one will play. Okay. Okay. Got a coach
holding up with the tech pause. That's unique. It is. It's a different play. Usually the
Maybe the coach is trying to be out of the limelight as much as possible,
doesn't want to be causing any issues.
No.
But it's going to be probably a bit frustrating for G2.
It might be a bit of a sore spot.
Pretty important.
Hey, part of the G2 machine, Saul, I think it's safe to say.
Yup, you need him for sure.
I think he's got to be...
When they made the changes, G2, Saul coming over was like,
okay, well now you've got a coach who's proven he can run a program long term
across roster changes across lineup swaps and you're like okay now I have a
little bit more confidence that there's like there's there's something behind
this if we were doing a tier list of current tier one coach who current tier
one coach and we had s tier how many of the coat how many coaches would you
put in the s tick well I feel like ya goes gonna have a different number like
I've got blade at the tip of my tongue I think everyone has a lot of
respect for him and what he's achieved
Oh, Sonic.
Sonic.
No, I'm sorry.
I mean, I'm not taking that.
I'm not taking it.
I'm just interested in, you know, like, would Saw be in here?
I mean, I think, would he make it to S?
Or would he stay comfortably in here?
I'd have Sonic in an S to your coach if we were talking, like, body of work all time, career-wise.
Yeah.
For sure.
Thank you for answering that.
Currently at the moment, not really up there.
Yeah, I don't know.
There's Blade, obviously. There's X-Taz.
I think some of the top part with coaches is it's always happened this way.
They're just some coaches we know exactly what they do,
and there are some coaches we don't really know where they're like.
I know Maura.
And Blade, the conversational Blade is constantly the tactical genius,
the playbook, the way he's able to bring players in and get them to the new system.
You don't have that insight into, well, I guess the big one
because of, you know, would be the X-Taz just due to some recent tweets and everything like that.
Or Maura.
Or Maura.
But Maura, you can see the work he does bringing in new players.
If you can go out and then goalie and five random counter strike players and turn them into professional level players like
S tier. Yeah, that's okay. I don't care. I think it's two things also
I think nowadays is a bit more of a you look at the coach I jailed duo then
She has one or the other in its own right and also it depends on teams different types of teams in different types of coaches
Different different coaches for different folks there we go. That's how it says you must got the opening kill
Wonderful, has to hit the shot, and he will.
Strong start here for Navi, no funny business, coming out all the time now.
All planned out bad for G2, how much can they get out of this?
Hunters got two, oh!
The forward kill from Hunter, he actually found his crosshair on his fourth target,
but couldn't quite take wonderful down, good damage though from Hunter.
Yeah, lovely secrets, better get your blood pumping.
He was dancing.
Yeah, it was, who's doing good?
Dang it, some shots.
Two to nothing?
It doesn't feel like it's enough for another buy in terms of...
They are going for it.
This is why Alex, you have to deathmatch with Galilis.
In case you go for these constant force buys, you need to deathmatch with Galilis.
I don't like this, man.
You don't like the buy?
No. I think Hunter should have just dropped an AK to someone,
one and you just have to get a little bit of utility and then you work around that
they just throw a grenade this is too big of a risk
well bulbs is gonna help you out alleviate some of that pressure with it
out being killed great bye that's the decision they've ever made
Alex is committing well so the smoke is one because they behind him some
Humpias gets a warning shot at least, won't be down immediately, but cause they don't, okay.
Three kills, quick succession just from the car.
I think for me, for example, you look at the round they did, they could have done this round with a half-buy.
You should know the same call with a half-buy.
And that's why you give yourself an opportunity, the AK baits the pistols a bit,
Humpias can have a scout if you really want to, with no armor,
can drop it to him and swap with the Deagle so he can have an AWP in the next round.
Because if the gamble doesn't pay off, like now you're gonna be 3-0 down and here you're gonna half-buy.
Also we just came into this kind of highlighting some of the struggles we've seen G2 have on T-Side also.
Yeah, just a little problematics is like it's your map pick, right?
But it doesn't matter if you don't get to play more than three gun rounds or four gun rounds on T side, right?
And
Your first proper gun round is going to be in round five when 40 percent of the half has already passed. Yeah a little bit rough
A little bit rough in some consideration at that point in round five Navi has
Five six K in the bank behind them. So all the playbook is open to them aggressive moves passive moves
Whatever it is that you want to approach, which obviously makes it more difficult to call for the T's and for Hunter to come up with a
solution
Anything else?
Every time you kept building up into like an angry point you found like the next level, so I'm just wondering is there one more coming out?
This has happened so many times. I get it. You know that early reset. It's very enticing. Yeah, you need to look at
You can't just be thinking okay if we win this round we're breaking them
You need to think, what happens if we lose this round?
What then?
True, the whole half has gone to shite.
This is a battle where you set yourself up.
On two.
Well, my car's right.
Oh, the full spray there.
That hasn't worked out.
I love it when I see it there with myself in the propoena.
It always fills me with a bit more confidence.
That's really relatable, man.
Yeah, that is a relatable moment from a guard there.
He's one HP, he's one HP to us, one HP.
I've hit him about 17 times.
No, I know, I know.
Okay, I got CS go.
Not to mention that in your first gun round, now round 5,
Sampias has an AWP and no nades.
Where are your nades, bro?
And it's kind of annoying because that's the thing Sampias is really good at,
the nades and...
I'll stick with the AWP part and it's like,
ah, we mixed them all up.
Yeah, you're right. I'd rather we had an AK full name.
I was always mad at this, like, I always used to say,
guys, if we're down 4-0, I want us to have everything.
You know, fifth round better have everything.
I want to have everything for this round.
I don't want to be in a position where,
in the last 40 seconds, oh, we are missing this one molly
for this call that actually is the perfect call, right?
Because someone overbought him the half-pipe.
Like, just deal with it.
You don't want to play with pistols?
win rounds
get good
good advice
gets right to the you know the beat the tears of the wall
whoa the fish out
he has a smoke and a flash right where is his head armor
i think somebody passed it over to him
yeah i know
heavy long star gonna get their control parking there towards the long side
wonderfuls playing to try and catch someone on their progressions
this could be an interesting look
whoa
It's gonna take a deep breath moment.
It is.
Spotted two, transitions over to short.
Mercazer's at part that long,
so I have to be concerned about that.
Four players on the A side of the map.
It's only bit at the B bomb site.
Oh, he's in this team flash.
Well, that could have been more.
Hunter goes around the corner, Alexey takes that kill, I'm pulling out the deagle back
in the way and dodged you the bullet of the AW.
Quick hands as well, picked up the M4 and the landing, swapped it out so it doesn't have
to reload.
Lovely stuff.
It surpassed the close up, allegedly.
Seemed like in that round you saw how Hunter had a molly out.
I think that's their like...
It's up to the short player to decide, you know, does he want the Molly or not as well.
I think Mal just felt like they were in a long setup, so just the flash would do.
But now we actually did have a close short stack.
That was very close to going.
Very close to going the other direction, wasn't it?
First player with the blind kill, but after that, I mean, you get blinded by your own
team flash, but thankfully all the utility is blinding everyone.
So even the T's can't really push in that moment.
past just gonna save five to nothing for Navi defense looking good money
building back up
you guys are here in those footsteps right yeah okay they kind of sound like
it's what it's wonderful that's just interesting making me feel crazy I mean
this make it you feel pretty crazy I mean everything they tried to do in
this round was just met with too much resistance in the head of buying a
Diggle shot Mattis is he's upset yeah remember what two days ago when they
when they close out the game to get the stage to when we watched that game it
was like there was there was a bunch of miss smokes here on Dust2 like they
were missing the mid to B smoke behind Xbox we talked to Mattis after the
game and he was just like yeah what can I say it's one of those games where
we screwed up a lot of small details but that is kind of the trend of their
stage one and that was one thing that we mentioned coming into stage two
with the better teams can't have those mistakes.
Right now they have been unable to avoid them.
Some pirates are going searching.
I didn't mob spend all his money to buy a little armor and veins.
I want a little extra firepower.
They want a rifle to create an opening for the pistols.
Oh yeah. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Swing off the first pistol, get yourself a kill, maybe the other can flood in.
They didn't eight seconds on the clock.
No one's given him anything?
No, everyone's paused. Everyone's happy with the ground they've gained, ground they have.
And, oh, wonderful. That's a gross timing.
It's such an unreasonable timing.
Just swaps to his nade as well.
Now, St. Pius is hoping to catch this B round player.
Mikaze versus St. Pius.
And Mikaze has the 8k as well.
He might be tempted to go searching now, especially with the frag going down.
One for one is good though from that CT spawn angle because Mikaza hears all the footsteps falling back
and he's like, we could just double up in the B bomb site now. Should be nice and easy.
Should be.
But why is it they're going B?
And they know it's still both B players alive.
They killed the A player.
Mikaza kept it himself.
Toilet take first contact.
Mikaza gets punished by some pirates!
Oh god!
To be pulled off that nose scope that would have been ridiculous.
What about a 1v1?
And some space to plant the bomb there.
Great shooting from Bitt, there you go, 9-0, a strong, strong anchor position and he handles it so perfectly.
Immediate headshots on the wide swinging, tracking matters perfectly, transitioning over to heavy god,
and then catching some pious on top of the boxes, we love that at a bit.
So G2 are 6-0 down, with playing only one full gun round and in their second gun round,
in round 7, they have two Galils in 3-8.
And missing a few nades.
It's all still disconnected, like.
Does he see this?
Maybe that's the problem.
Flash in.
Oh, nice.
Good trades.
Two for one in middle.
And you don't have to commit.
Mattis is low, but you have caused chaos on the defense.
Scrambling to plug this hole, feeling the mid-to-be split, but it's not coming
so you dump everything.
Wow.
Bit looking very sharp at the moment.
Another frag onto Matus. He goes back in to check the site, B.
He hits it some heads and sprained them down as well. We've just got mobs left.
And he'll at least fight back a little bit, but immediately as soon as Bit dies,
there's a peek coming from the exact same position.
Get wrecked.
They're actually getting owned.
12 and 1 for Bit.
B bomb cyclist.
Alright.
Heavy Gods by Galil Full Armor.
Matus by Mach 10.
Spend all your money right the other three half by but spend too much money
So don't have all the names in this camera
Let's go
Even with max lost that right surely the calculations are
G2 beat phase on this map 13 to 1
Last night was more both days, but it was also them starting on the CT side 11 one CTF
into a 2-0 TF. They have to start on the offense now, and their struggles are coming back to
haunt them. I'm always, yeah, this tendency is weird. A haunter, I think, is still getting
the in-game leadership stuff under his belt. I'm taking back sometimes Dinko to the game
we casted, the Falcons G2 game back at Budapest as well on Dust2, where the T side, Falcons
won that in the last six rounds, where the T side of just G2 just shut down and couldn't
do anything just lost players for no reason really easy
if this makes more sense where Matt is buys a Galil or whatever but there's still 1100 left in the bank so
okay you're making a compromise there
you're in the round where Malibs had it like someone could have dropped him the Galil and he could have just bought the armor in it
he's trying to do the gizmy
Looks pretty good, it looks like he's doing it, yeah it was during these days.
UK players known as Trans-Hiters.
Alright, I'ma lock this in.
I want to see this.
This is Re-Aim.
So he's like in line with the box, the right side of the box.
I'm assuming you have to drop your grenade perfectly to get it to roll to that position,
as well.
We throw this smoke first, we can't be mollied, and then he waits, and he's got two HEs
per, he doesn't have to move, he can just double them when wonderful needs help.
But it is a B here.
Oh, oh, oh!
It's what I'm saying.
Oh, he puts his hands over his head.
He knows he's done goofed.
Yeah, that was a weird quick switch.
You like fired a bullet and then swapped?
Oh, Alexi's also just cut off one from me.
Imagine if you still lose this round somehow.
No.
It's not impossible.
Yeah, this can still be one.
It's going to be tough.
Wonderful as a lot of UTOLs.
So does Ima.
And Wonderful's not going to commit unless the other guys
get something done on the initial swing.
Oh, you could just Molly Briggs.
And then you swing on him.
Double-Nade looks good.
Bonk, see you later, getting weird now.
Wishing on in, M.M. is gonna swing on through for the trade.
Alexi B. drops cross-fires and they're gonna get it in time.
And those go to close it out. G2 can't catch a break.
Thank you, guys. Bitsang, thank you.
Thank you so much. That was my fault.
It should have never done this bad.
But I appreciate you guys having my back.
I think he's doing his youngster impression now.
Nice team, very good team.
You're so good, guys. Way to go, boys.
Yeah.
That's a satisfying retake to watch.
Oopsie.
2B, I can't believe you just hit that shot. That's crazy.
Whoa! Yo! Oh no!
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Crazy right now. It is crazy right now.
It's one of those games.
Now, wonderful. It's emboldened to go for something a little more audacious.
This is audacious. This is hyper audacious. They could be peeking top mid any moment
This is a shot. Oh
Ema got one of Matt from Matt from up on cat. So that's that's nice. You still find the kill still get it
And I do ma is under a lot of pressure. They're applying it a lot of quick pace from Hunter
You know how to go test the waters and decide there's a little too hot
Yeah, I like that pressure though
Just one of the force a little bit of extra utility out of them
Wonderful is going to come start creeping with the AWP to reclear that angle towards short.
Meanwhile, G2's dropped towards the lower tunnels.
It looks like they're not even going to be worried about middle.
So, four on five, and you're going to execute straight up into BIT,
and Makaze will be there soon.
Ema's starting to shift into CT spawn now.
He'll have a relatively quick rotation.
Hey, BIT, you got a lot of work to do.
Well, I'm coming at you again.
I'm good to fence his bomb site.
He's got the first headshot, but that's it.
Heavy call with a good clearance.
I'm gonna swing here from him up, but again, it's heavy call.
Three kills for him in the round, but a 2v2.
Still loseable here for G2.
Yeah, wonderful needs to do enough to keep some attention
towards the outside of the B bomb site
to open up this flank in tunnels.
Molotov missed, but have you got still gave up the position?
Now you let the tunnels play a cook.
You can get the timing, then I'll be looking.
step in front of that because he's walking through it now you are on the fall
oh it's Alexi late to the tunnels G2 cannot a plant starting to feel bad yeah
this is starting to feel like it's against some rules or regulations or
something well it feels it feels even worse on like we've all been in this
situation but you're also like you know to like the B bombsite of this too you
should be able to hold this against a retake and this is now two back-to-back
rounds where they've come at you and you should be in the advantage and
And they've still wanted out. This one right here, just a double kill from Olexi.
I lost a 4v3 in B, 2v2 in B.
Ooh, the elbow!
The elbow, that's a good tactic.
I haven't seen the elbow attack for a shooting hand.
Giving it that 12 to... what do they say?
You know, 12 to whatever these elbows, 12 to 6.
12 to 6 elbows, you're allowed those, but you're allowed like these.
Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't watch MMA.
I don't either.
It's fun to pretend, though.
Yeah, we're feeling like a fighter today when you came in. That's what they have this to us. Yeah, you're watching the
Dabadega fight tonight. I just made that one. It sounded great. I was like, yeah, I'm watching it. Dabadega
It's not too far off
Three years that gets done and forget unfurled it
That's what G2 need. I think they would like to put it good. They would love to forget this
I think they might need Jesus at this point.
Wow.
The prophets are available.
I'll play time out right after this.
Now you're chosen, coffee.
I don't think I've seen it like this.
I choose the moon god.
The controller of the tide.
Say man.
Fighter of the night, man.
Champion of the sun.
We have fun.
We do have fun.
I love us all.
I would do the trolls toll zone. What do you do if you're GG to get back into this?
You just like well stop losing post plans. Well, there's yeah, not much to get back into here
It's some
It's fine boys like the last four rounds we just had good situations, okay all good. Let's take the last three rounds
Let's get into the same situation. Let's close it. Let's go
There's your answer.
Yep.
Well, Yanko set.
Close the post plan.
With all words.
Yeah.
Let's see if they can get the last three rounds.
It really feels like a must.
Look at what you feel, bro.
This is, uh, aggressive.
Ah, I bit it.
Let's see.
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
hang on oh he has got himself some very precise headshots what are you supposed
to do about that yeah he's strong Alexi clearing long this is a really important
duel for heavy god he has to win this of G2R to get off the goose egg
he's in him backs away is he trying to punish on the timing Alexi's sticking around
she's teasing him. Oh my god he's so mad. Another one. Not quite. Boys are going to join him long.
I like that he's not taking this fallout fight either. That's like a 1v1
You could easily just be like I'm gonna go for this like he's out in the open. That's a lovely fight
I have an AK but if you go down, it's kind of a disaster
So maintains the foothold out at long for his team now gonna start pressing the issue all three players for G2 at long
Oh, there's an info there's some bloodshed need another a cause they can't track him
He's frustrated and bit they know he's to be anchor
up. Commit up to the side, should be on the bomb planted with no reveal of Bitt's proximity.
Actually, wait, he's going to mental up. Oh, he's been spotted. No, you didn't see
him? Now they know. He's going to still win this. If he hits that head, he's not going
to happen. Matt is, pulls it across the line. G2 do finally crack the goose egg.
Yeah, unfortunately he got spotted on that jump up. I think if he doesn't spot that
player that he spots somebody because I think that made him hang back a little bit more.
He had some time to close the gap on the on the plant boxes.
I think that was his intention until he saw that player slide to car.
9-1.
Finally a round for G2.
Finally a post plant one from G2.
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Thanks, boss!
You're welcome.
Edward Navi that long ago. Yeah, when it was just like run down the clock
You just take you take long in the whole round
You do like three fake cross smokes and then you cross on the fourth and you still win the round
And then they stack the site. Oh, yeah
Well now it's G2 doing the Navi up against Navi and there's not
Edward inside no Edward inside
I'm serious in sight, but there's a wonderful. It won't be simple
And he had some pirates in his sights
I was right at the Sun is the bomb alone Hunter has the bomb alone along set the
moon god and then there's three players going short that's fine hunter can't go
he can't scow long well you might kind of try and stop them if they try to
try to shoot me it's can't go short eaters the same boat I mean even if they
kept all the Titanic yeah even if the short players have success it's like
If Hunter gets picked off with the bomb, the rounds are over. 20 seconds.
This ship has sunk.
Oh, not working out.
And all of you are 14-2 until it does.
Heavy God and Hunter with a couple of kills back. 15 seconds remaining.
Wonderful, still a threat.
Oh, longer a threat.
Heavy God has come through with a shot over the top of the site.
Bit. They actually dive down.
They're going to fight in the bomb cross.
Heavy God cleared out. Bit now into the 1v1. Hunter is low.
45 HP.
Bit mantling up again.
What a shot from Hunter. He had to win it. He had to win it after the sacrifice from heavy
gods. Get him across with the C4.
That's 45 HP that Hunter's on when he gets that flick headshot.
It looks great from his perspective, but great turnaround here from G2.
Looking like they were going to be stalled out.
You can see 10 seconds on the clock at this point.
Hunter, yeah. Big reactions there.
It could be a bit frustrated that he doesn't pull that one off.
Yeah, he had the uh, the first word five bullets or so, couldn't lend a headshot.
Lovely job from Hunter.
That was a nasty shot from heavy quad though.
Yeah, it was. That was, uh,
Cypher.
Crazy, they're able to make that work.
Taking a lot of money away from the Navi defense as well for the first time in this half.
From us on the board, MP9.
A lot of players without utility, no kits for this CT side.
retakes gonna be much more difficult to pull off. It's a shame that this run is
happening so late in the half where you can't have any crazy like long-term
benefits of gaining control of the economy as well. But at this point we take
what we can get. When you get what you can give. Yeah, right? That's how the song goes.
You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you might just
find well g2 need three yes they have a chance and they're still trying definitely
on let's see if they find success cause a mp the FAMAS really the combo everybody's
talking about these days it's work out the G2 it's out there at the hand of the FAMAS
10-2 lead for Navi dominating over G2.
Yeah.
You're not too close to me.
We're back in business. Oh, yeah.
8, the energy's high. Giggles on one side from the black and yellow behemoth. That's
what we called them once upon a time. Now they're more like, you know, just an average
sized person. That's what they are. They're just a team in black and yellow jerseys.
Yeah, that's what they are. And for G2, they're in red jerseys, but they're at
home and they're trying to find their first.
Looking for another red result at the moment.
It's all Ls right now for G2.
We'll see if it turns around here in the second half.
You mentioned Jason, their CT side
was very strong versus FaZe.
11 to 1, they had against FaZe last night.
But that might not mean anything at all,
because I think just in the shooting department,
they're getting outplayed.
Individually, Navi at a very good level.
Pits been excellent.
OK, well, so has Heavy got.
So forget that.
Gershyn returned.
They'd love to kill him.
Molotov coming in hot.
He's going to have to fight taken down, still recoverable.
Doesn't look like it's going to be the immediate B finish, right?
So Malbs has got your top mid rotation cut.
You got a crossfire from top mid to double doors.
Yeah, so already certainly shaping up nicely,
but you can see Hunters already kind of put two and two together.
The cut of noise, bit heading spawn.
Malbs is going to have to be tucked in and safe from there.
You can see that's why he's not in suicide itself.
He wants to be difficult to spot.
Thankfully for Bid as well, there's over a minute on the clock
so he can walk this hallway.
Okay, spots that out.
Now knows the position of mobs,
and mobs is gonna probably die.
Although he's changing his position,
so he's gonna check T spawn.
Good timing.
Both players having the same timing,
but it's gonna win out.
Yeah, okay, that really opens up the avenue now.
You can try and get up short,
and you've done it.
Now Hunter's gonna be tucked in on site.
He's gonna have a little bit of a distraction.
They'll hear Sumpius charging forward.
Hunter for the one tap.
Hunter with the fourth tap.
Hunter doesn't hit the shot.
Sumpius does.
That's the bomb dropped.
Alexi's gotta go back for that.
Yeah, well aware of bit some pie skits another one. It's all Alexi and he wants the weakened player Mattis brought down to
And a foot race now with 20 seconds on the clock
Thinking some pie so to drop but he's not he's not gonna fall for it some pie is actually gonna meet him head on
Alexi be he spots him on that jump up 13 seconds
And Alexi goes down at short some pious has picked up the pistol
They so desperately needed it and he collects himself a 3k. I actually think Alexi was in the right there
I think he's thinking I'm this guy's gonna rotate to be now that I've got this kill and I'm gonna go up cat backup cat to a
But some pirates like stayed in a for a very long time like you didn't move
He didn't even consider the B bombsite after getting this kill. I
Thought the killer matters would just open up such a free avenue into be and then you plan a pose plan
Like I don't know why would it like to be right so his feeling is I think if he drops double doors and goes mid to be
Then some price is gonna have a shot long if you go tons some prices gonna have the time to shift over the double doors
Okay, yeah
But all of that was assuming that some pious was going to react to the kill on Madison. Oh, I didn't do anything
Sometimes that's the best move
the
tasty shot
headshot number two please
welcome to top mid
Jesus, there'll be nine, does rip his head off
G2 starting this long road back into dust two
they've taken the first steps, they've tightened up the boots
they've got their supplies, provisions
yes
what else do you need for a walk
Uh, I was thinking Oregon Trail.
I was thinking you need a couple extra axles,
need a few extra wheels.
Couple of wheels.
Probably at least 100 pounds of food.
Probably a bag of those like goldfish crackers.
That'd be sunglasses.
Sunglasses would be good.
Okay, Sunday day.
Yeah.
Obviously you need your...
Reverse osmosis portable water filtration system.
Yep.
It's going to soon say.
Dead now.
Of course.
Oh, there we go.
Traded off.
Tons of flashbangs barraged in, and at least information for the G2 defense.
And Mattis is going to start shrinking the map, already a push with heavy god in towards
upper tunnels.
But now they happy to be patient, Alexi checking his six, making sure nobody's flanking through
to you spawn.
Now going to check out some utility for the double doors.
Mikaze is going to be a lurker, Alexi's going to have to go, well unless Bit comes
back.
So they're shelling the idea like they want to sit long, bleed out the utility, eventually
go for the cross.
This is going to put pressure on Mattis.
Well, the pressure caves him in, it's Mikaze, he grabs the opening frag, but rather the
advantageous frag here for Naughty, it's going to be some pies taking a lot of damage
though, he drops down into a CT and Mikaze is not slowing down at all.
In fact, he's even looking for the CT player as well.
Look at how much more impactful that strategy gets when you take out Mattis and then
and the A defenders who are there to kind of
jump their utility, stall off the long hitter,
like, we can't play anywhere now.
Grab short, you have access to it
because Mattis has gone down.
The amount of extra pressure as soon as Mattis dies,
I mean, it just puts his team in such a horrible place.
G2 with like billionaires in a submarine.
Just crushed.
That's cool though, it's like,
oh, it's what a way to go again,
but you brought it in, you brought it home.
I'm allowed to make jokes like that. My moon god says it's okay.
Yes, yes, yes. And you're a billionaire.
No, we're allowed to. The moon god said so.
Moon god.
Wasn't too kind of him. No sir, let's see this death.
There it is. It's a rough one because Madis has all the
responsibility of like holding on to that position and we're having information.
Like he like that's like kind of his job in that at that point. Yeah enough hunter
Yeah, that's it. That's me guys catch you. Yeah. All right, someone else call
So you can't forget
Someone else take over. I don't want to do it anymore. Oh
Yeah, like shot oh that's not the top as well. No, it's not change my mind
Couldn't better that room for improvement always is oh
Oh
What a dick
I'm not having the best of days. No, it's been a rough one has it
Have a great day though
Conversely
Clouds in the sky sun tries to break through them
But I'm going to be powerful enough to drop in towards CT.
People.
Just, I mean, you're just seeing if you're going to get a reaction.
Oh, that is.
Yeah, this is not looking like it's an easy round for him.
I mean, the fact he's held onto his smoke for that long, they can wait it out.
But will there be any info pushes elsewhere?
Or do you think they're kind of selling him down the river?
if you're gonna wait out the smoke if you're well if you're not be on the
tea side you you need to have bit and the lexie put some pressure on short so
those a defender still feel like there's some pressure coming in that
direction that's exactly what it's doing here shown a little bit of presence
committing himself a kill would be incredible
I mean no one's buying this
well they're already set up right so it's just meant to freeze you there and I
think now the hit is on
Mattis does well it gets at least one damage being done to these nobby players
That is perfect
But it gets called by the straight bullet of wonderful
Yeah, but I don't know how you win this you can't block you can't block tunnels you can't block door again
You have no more utility and Alexi's got eight HP
You just need Budapest major wonderful, and this is in the bag. Sure. That's true. All eyes on one
Well, he's only being able to do nothing.
So they'll end up being a G2 retake.
I guess you got every other tournament wonderful.
Good nickname.
Every other tournament wonderful.
Every other tournament wonderful.
Wonderful, it's good, yeah.
And Copening Major wasn't bad.
Yeah, he was on a good one, wasn't he?
Sure.
What's really impressive is the bit of wonderful 27 frags combined.
Hey, it's the anchor pound of it.
Yeah, the rest need to step up.
Nice, guys.
There's no way he saw me, but what was this spam?
I said.
They called the way it was.
It was some nonsense spam, I agree.
Yeah, I mean, that was just a bit just BS.
Yeah, I mean, that's a sick shot from me.
Nice shot from all, it seemed to be wonderful on the cross.
I was mad, it's not Malibus, it was about the wonderful spam.
Yeah, wonderful, through the on the smoke walk.
Yeah.
It's Mattish, by the way.
Yeah, I thought it was.
I know, you weren't there.
Jason talked to him for an hour last night and he told him it's Mattis.
Oh, right, okay.
Yeah, we hopped on the phone after the interview.
We had a great time in the interview.
It's nice.
He's like, hey bro, man, do you want to just talk to him?
What do you think, Mattis?
Do you think you look like Nico?
We talked about things, you know?
Sometimes you just need somebody to talk to you.
It's true.
All right, wonderful.
You got that angle through the double doors.
Smoked off.
Delay tactics.
tactics. Couldn't convert on a 5v4 last round. Let's see if they have more luck in the 4v5.
They did not. Well, Mikasa is going to challenge around this smoke again. It looks like up on
short. No commitment anywhere yet for Navi. Actually, I mean, Jitsu's loving this kind
a slower pace mobs gets a good peek in towards cave sees nobody home you hear
utility weapons being checked for on over on short
you have to win this one G2 barely in the top of the novity actually do
anything now the timing for hunter to slide into that gap they can hear these
they can hear these scopes and that one's easy for Mattis now the catwalk
The play is coming in. It's unloosable.
It's unloosable.
It's unloosable.
It's back in a way now.
Unloosable.
Yeah, take that bomb away.
Hang on to the 3 AKs.
No money in the next round here for Navi.
Don't want to lose another player here at all.
Yeah, but this is not a great save.
No, it's not.
That's an ugly round too.
Not the worst because it's 3 AKs,
but these guys can't even rebuy all of their nades.
They could rebuy some,
and Wonderful and Alexi will have to play with pistols,
or maybe a scout for Wonderful,
maybe a Mac 10 for a Lexi, depending on what the call is, but the problematic thing is,
okay, this buy isn't going to be great, and I feel like it just, it puts a timer, like
you can't, you won't have a full round to play with and work the map.
You have to come to your finishing move just a lot quicker, so it makes your opening
move have to have a little bit more impact.
That's a lot of utility. You need to early on and lower B on mid. They don't find any kills
for it. I didn't find any damage. That gives information to Navi. Alright, it's safer
to take Cat now. The HEs have been spent for the most part.
Okay, some defensive smoke on short.
Once again, Dobby, look like you're just gonna fall back into a B hit.
Some Pius, feels like in this half he's slowly turning to Jason's favorite character, Cream
Pius.
There we go.
That's the one.
I was wondering where we were going though.
I think Cream Pius does a lot of good work.
Big fan of what he creates.
a nickname or a suggestion
eternal question that i've never asked until just this moment
or begging
mobs around the back
use the flank
bit late on it
yeah a little bit
still got some bullets in the back
oh come on now
one! you just need one!
some players need one!
yeah i have got two
so it gives
let's get one!
players some space and some time and he can't get a frag on the defense
Make sure you want to kick you.
Oh my God.
Yeah, and just be all sad because right now this is G2 suddenly
find a way back into it though.
Mikaze in the post plan up at the window.
They're trying to get back in here.
Mikaze, can he pull this off?
It's going to be very tough to see a wall to which he wins
this now.
Impossible.
Impossible, Dinko.
He'd have to hit every shot.
The first does connect, but nice trade from Mattis.
And we will see that gap continue to close.
I think he might just wanting to help a bit.
I should have just left him, you know, whether he gets a kill or just dies, but I'm playing with Makazi in the 2v3, right?
He's trying to put some pressure, draw attention to himself, so Bit could play and maybe do something.
If it was like Pokemon, you have to choose your Orp, right?
Yeah, and it was Sumpias, an ultimate, and the Pokemon you choose has to win a 1v2 to save your life.
ultimate. Some pious. Some pious. Interesting. I can't be
ultimate for anything, last year. Yes, you can. I can.
Well, I'll try to be removed from liquid. For double
auspices. Okay, that's door number, door number C.
You guys are mean.
Onk, he might find an opening on Tumatis who was aggressive against pistols in B tunnels.
Listen, I'm curious what Alexi's working with right now.
Look at the ingredients left for his call.
You've got rifles, you've got Mikaze, he's alive and he's good.
In there as well, 17 frags each.
Surely you want to try and get those rifles set up to succeed,
set up to succeed but how when you've got one smoke, two smokes and two flashes.
Well this is good now because the smoke short lets them know that there's no short presence
from the CTs so they should have probably smoked mid to get the short.
Oh nice flashbang. Pops perfectly so they've used one of their flashes to find a nice
kill. Yeah the info of the jump spot, wonderful
playing a very dangerous game. He hasn't been able to confer onto mobs, a bit awkward,
cringe if you ask me. Oh speaking of and bit out long as well so now they're just
trying to connect with him through short both of the CTs are towards that B
bombsite mouth, low HP. Emma's got the rotation cut off they win the round.
What is actually not going to be like he's not trying to hold Xbox or is he?
He's just worried about the potential pivot through B times and he's
expecting to hear that. He doesn't want to get a direct fight because they
know where he is and he knows you'll hear them if they're like jumping up
the box where he'll find a timing to catch a timing to check okay it's moving
now so he'll be able to trap them in CT spawn some pious leading the way up the
ramp mobs with this all doesn't really want to be committed but you need some
pious to get this kill it's not gonna happen now mobs needs to back away but
he was already got him trapped and they're gonna lose the op they're
lose it all.
Not a bomb says anything to say about it.
Oh, he's losing.
The bomb is going to get him though.
9 HP.
Just don't give them the satisfaction.
Boop!
Alexi's gone down as well, but no big deal.
Money on the Navi sign to decide to rebuy.
That's it.
I've all the rounds for Navi to win.
That one, I mean, not just because of the weaponry and the utility, but just like,
I feel like they didn't do anything.
I think this was like the first round. They've been opening all these rounds really slow
And this was the first time I think G2 got aggressive into them in any significant way, but why?
No, I know and that's why we're pushing beatiles in 135 like
I'm with you. There's brave and then there's too good. I'll let Twitch chat decide which one that was
That's a bummer
Cuz I think now G2 this was looking like a good CT side again
And I think that that's just kind of fizzles it out now
It's like you got no more mistakes and for us slow Navi is playing for G2 to be the ones with utility problems
It's like good luck in the late rounds
Mattis going down to bit who just peaked out long and
Found success again here comes because a short
Chance that bulbs will win that fight in fact he gets the follow-up to
Wasn't from albs this round would be completely off already for G2. Have you got pushing through the tunnels?
This is for the close. Navi you got two players at long and wonderful creeping up short.
I think it's another one.
That's a nice one.
The steps in the mid two. Wonderful.
Go back! Oh it's perfect!
Because I think I was looking towards top middle, leaving Sumpias in a 1v3.
Alright, well, Sumpias pickers get excited. Here we go.
You asked for a 1v2, not 1v3.
Yeah, I was asking too much.
Oh yeah, how convenient.
Yeah, it's not that.
Grab this one up, Pinker.
All right. Well, Na'Vi G2. We came into this game thinking it might be close, but Na'Vi starts so strong.
G2 couldn't catch a break in the first half at all. So many post-plans leading to absolute failure.
And now they're all per-in the clutch that you know he won't win.
But he will just run around and throw his guns and give us a good go. Waste a little bit more time.
But eventually, fate will come in. He will be slowed and dropped, as we all know what's going to happen.
at 13 to 7. Navi closeout versus G2. We'll go to Mirage. We'll see if G2 can bounce back.
They need a massive turnaround. Otherwise, they're going to get a little embarrassed today on the
or
I have it.
I'm tanking.
Short, short thing!
Short.
Guys, I go to slope.
I think crossbow.
I crossed, planting.
I flash up over.
I'm falling down.
Rain, rain, rain, rain.
One.
Nice, nice guys.
One is still short.
One is still short.
One dead.
Mid one.
Yeah, I guess.
Mid short.
Yeah.
I'm mid.
I can flash squad, Miha.
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Short, low.
Lower one, guys.
What the fuck.
Or tunnel?
You still flash mid or no?
Yes, I can.
They're window, RpK.
Holding it.
Hitching.
Yes, I'm going in.
Stash!
Molly tunnel!
She's got there!
Miha, I'm going out through you.
Don't do that.
Xbox!
Tunnels!
That one?
He crossed, he crossed.
Guys, I got one more.
I don't think they're going to come.
One is coming right.
He's planting, he's planting.
I'm going to jump already.
Okay.
I need you to kill.
Be ready on B.
I am, I am.
I'll jump like an animal.
Ready?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Car.
He got me.
Nice guys.
Nice, I got him.
He's coming bro.
What was this spam?
It's the best thing ever.
Oh, what a feeling.
Taking a groove from this, I'm seeing.
Oh, what a feeling.
Turn it loose and go come see.
Come on get together.
Tonight's the night
Even if you're feeling blue
It won't be all right
Be your troubles behind
And have no doubt
Don't you worry about pain
You take it all, never run
Oh, what a feeling
Saving the proof of it, I can't see it
Oh, what a feeling
Turn the loose and walk on to it
would be a slight understatement to say that that wasn't the way G2 wanted to start the
series because now we move on to Navi's map pick a little bit different from last time
around at PGL. They're going with Mirage this time for Navi. Make sense for you?
Yeah, switching it up. I don't know what makes sense anymore Freya, but Navi historically
very good on Mirage. They had a period towards the end of last year where they got really
good on it again, but this year it hasn't been as hot. G2 pick it themselves sometimes.
I think this is more blade just looking at how G2 plays and thinking our style will match
up well against their style.
Well fingers crossed for the side of Na'Vi. If you G2 though, what is the CT side saying?
That's where they're going to be starting. Do you want to click on a test straighter
and place the players?
Yeah, I think something that's the most important thing is this part of it, right?
which is Malibs, who for a while was playing that connector area,
he was brought in to play Sneakho, and so on and so on.
He's now playing the A anchor and Hunter is playing connector.
I think this is where Malibs does his best work.
I think you need to look at Malibs and try to get him to be a sort of a flamesy type
of player for you, where he plays the anchor positions on CT side,
which are important positions.
I mean, there's always something going on on the A-pillar.
Yes.
Right?
Whether they execute, whether they're splitting it, whether you can go and make an information
So it's a really important spot and he has to be somewhere he can really use his mechanics
And then you get Hunter who's now the IGL too, but in general also very active vocal player
He's in connector, which you know we call the star player role
But the reason for it is you have to do a lot of
Communicating also a lot of telling other people what to do ask for utility
You know called mid-round fight for mid or call reactions for your teammates elsewhere on the map
Obviously some pious as the opera right a lot of windows starts going back to ticket and whatnot
He's absolutely massive. He's been hitting the gym and then you have Matush towards short really working in tandem a lot with
Hunter and heavy God obviously as that
Bianca whole guy just jumping over time and time again
But yeah, this is what you'll come to see from G2 on Mirage and also they're one of those teams that
has a good amount of set calls where they do things together and just from
freestyle right this round we're fighting for mid straight away you know
that's when you'll see Malibu's move towards stairs right so he can also help
mid it necessary but he's keeping an eye out on a heavy gods depending you know
maybe someone else jumps underpass maybe someone jumps short does something
aggressive but yeah they're not scared of a fight G2. If you're gonna put your
blade cap on right now because we're saying you know the choice of
bring more into the mix, maybe it makes sense in terms of the clash of these two teams.
Is there any kind of clear weakness at the moment that you feel like you could target
starting on the two sides?
I wouldn't claim any weaknesses in terms of individual players.
I think maybe sometimes the approach can be a weakness or maybe something that you
can exploit if you're on the side of Navi, right?
If G2 does indeed do things together, you can go about it two ways where you play
default, you spread around the map and then your extremity players need to
be able to react right if they're fighting for mid. Oh, this is timing for you Bitt to
make a play or for you Makazi to make a play on the sides. Or you just put your more of
your resources, for example, into the mid fight, you do a heavy mid default where if they
are coming for that fight, you make sure you're also strong and you can just wind
around right then and there. Is that a target? Is that a pass? Is he in a position to
be talking about? So much, you know, when a lot of utility comes into play
on mid like opera usually goes either towards A or B where they can just take care of any
stranglers or you know when there's a lot of utility used in the early round well that means
there's less utility left from that point on so when you just get posted up in the site
you don't have as much to deal with and can be more effective with the AWP. Okay very nice let's
move on to the second half then when we got Navi going on to the CT site what we're working
with in terms of their positions. Right, so we have a bit as that solid A anchor Ime, the very
active player and connector, Makazi on short which he can utilize his aim, take a lot of fights,
Alexi B of course, the IGL life of being that B anchor and that wonderful again
with the AWP just on mid and Navi 2 you know they'll try with wonderful sometimes,
I guess it depends on whether it's feeling it or not to go for some of these more aggressive pigs
We see all these teams when they have a good spawn boost immediately into ladder room to take this line for the
How do people call it in this position in English?
Delphan say top mid, but yes
Players just try to tuck in there on the T side because behind boxes gets mulled all the time and that's
We call that the easiest
entry in Counter-Strike for an AWPer because everyone just has to run into this, no one can jiggle peek it,
then you can just put your crosshair in one position if a player shows up he's dead.
But yeah, I think for Navi they're always very quick on the retake.
Let's say if they are fighting for mid, which was a problem for them yesterday in the Monty game,
a couple of rounds they were doing this opening where they're having mid,
bit is also around that stairs area, and that's when Monty just sort of executed there a couple of times,
of times and won based off of that read but maybe today they just play a bit more default
on the CT side because they were doing well on the CT side and then those couple of heavy
mid setups when their opponents went to a bomb site really cost them an even stronger
CT half.
Thank you as always Professor Panicvich for your insightful insight I can't think of
telling them for that word we're going to head to a quick break while we return
It's March between G2 and Narvi to see if Narvi can take it to 0.
Damn, guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

Hey Future Pros, AXX Armourage are a staple of the map.
Let's look at an all hands on deck execute you can do with your team.
For this execute you will need 5 future throws, 3 smokes, 3 mollies, and about 7 flashes.
Future prone number 1, you'll be throwing the CT smoke along with some flashes for your players coming out of the ramp.
To throw your smoke stand in the middle point of this wall section.
Aim to the middle of this wood sticking out of the tower.
Then jump throw.
For your flashes there is no specific lineup in this example.
Just bang them over the right side of the wall above the lamp.
Future pro number two, you will throw the balcony or shadow molly along with a flash.
To throw your molly, stand against this pillar and position yourself so the edge of this light
is just visible.
Aim above this light fixture and running through the molly after a few steps.
This version will only molly the top of balcony.
To cover off shadow instead, use the same lineup and run forward longer before releasing
the molly.
Then bounce a flash of this wall and pick your timing when to peek out from palace to support your teammates.
Future pro number three, you will throw the jungle smoke, along with a flash to help you entry and clear out anyone who could be close.
To throw your smoke, run to this beam and find this spot on the floor.
Aim at the top of the wall in line with the left edge of this big brick.
Then throw your smoke.
For your flash, move to the left and throw it against this part of the ramp and drop down
with it.
Make sure to turn as it pops and entry into the site, or dive to the oil.
Future front number 4, you will throw the stairs smoke along the flash over the ramp
and the molly for bench.
To throw your smoke, stand so that these beams are lined up together.
Aim just to the edge of this wall about half way up from these two points.
You can use these two antennas to help guide you with this.
Then simply throw the smoke.
For your flash, just toss it over the ramp.
Finally, when you have a bit of space on the ramp, pull out your molly and throw it
to the left of your jungle smoke.
This will dissuade a CT from pushing out to the bench.
And lastly, future pro number 5.
You will throw the sandwich molly along with two flashes.
To throw your molly, stand in line with the wall at the edge of this corner.
Find this dark spot at the top of the wall, then simply throw the molly.
It's important to throw this molly before the smoke for stairs comes in.
As if that smoke is thrown a bit short, it can but not always extinguish the flames.
For your flashes, the first one should be a jumping throw over this building and
the second as you get to the ramp.
You can throw it into the jungle smoke and potentially stop a CT from pushing,
spanning through the smokes. This is a great A execute, but requires some good synergy with
your teammates. If you have a 5 stack UQ if often, I'm sure you can all get on the same page
and get that bomb down on the A side of Mirage.
Welcome back to this whole pro league season 23, Novi G2 heading into map 2 of Mirage.
We're hoping for a more competitive game here.
We're hoping G2 can put a better foot forward because there were moments like some posers
saying in that first half where they were getting themselves into good situations.
It's just the closes that weren't happening
Yeah, I mean the the inability to hold the bomb site against the retake in that first time of the year to
Did I say on ability? Yeah?
Well, that's fair. He's right. He's right place Jason, but you all knew what I mean exactly what you meant so much
So didn't even say anything. Yeah inability to hold off those retakes
I don't know where I was going anymore. But yeah, they would be nice if they could if they could hold off retakes
Yeah, I agree. I can agree more. I am slightly concerned
that this is going to be similar to Dust 2 but knowing how Counter Strike works and knowing
that G2 had such a poor first map, I'm expecting this to be the exact opposite.
I honestly wouldn't mind it being like Dust 2 if G2 could just get enough rounds on the
board early to where it's not like a 0-9 and they're in recovery.
Yeah, that would help.
Like, take an equal.
Make sure you have more than one gun round in the first six rounds of play.
Yeah, that would be nice.
That'd be something to write home about.
Heavy God's gonna take some damage to the smoke, but we're all good.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
Absolutely nothing to worry about here.
Looking at the finish, Ema has the smoke and he's in that little pack with Mikaze going to be heading to me to meet Wonderful.
This ramp is secured by Hunter. These spiny toes.
See, nothing. Nothing's actually coming ramp in this round.
They're all gonna come split up through Con.
Wonderful turns into a little bit of a lurk, someone who can peek into the A bomb site during
the attack and then turn and look towards any B rotators coming short.
Clean click from Malbs and we're set for success here.
Pushing through the smoke, he hasn't found an immediate head shot.
Reveals his position, now the A setup is tested.
We'll get the reload off.
Pressure now applied and magnified.
He's got some pires behind him as well.
And the bomb will go down.
Navi have managed to breach the site.
Ooh, good kill on the planter.
Post plant three versus four.
You've got a P250 on Wonderful.
Glock's on Alexi and Mikaze.
Alexi has no armor.
I've got to hit something in here.
There, nice shot.
He's more.
The second one demanded of Wonderful,
catching Nate Flack.
Still hits the head shot.
Knots from Wonderful, Navi stealing away.
And they got Wonderful to thank some real quick clicks.
Yeah, nothing was landed in the first like seven shots,
but the second half of the mag was absolutely perfect.
He was just ramping up, he was just powering up for that final 3k, that is some sane stuff from Wanda4.
I love that he wasn't deterred from his constant, you know, pokes and prods after a couple of missed shots, he continued.
DIGOR!
He's got the basement toilet jacket behind him!
Oh, look at that, he threw it out there for just you!
Spectre, Lexi.
Oh, he's still gate keeping the other one.
Yeah, yeah.
We gotta figure out what that is.
I'll tell you where he got that one from.
There we go.
Chopped like yourself.com.
There we go.
Oh, I'm going to scout for supplies.
Pksl.shop.gg.
It's like wrong in every single aspect.
I'm doing it all almost.
Someone should make it really quick.
You can tell I get all my merch for free.
Not anymore I don't.
Yep, that was it.
Not after that.
Especially there's a tariff on you now.
Yep.
Alrighty, bit.
Here we go.
Ballerina.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
Do you have that song you had every time you cast bit?
Yes.
It's just, I do too.
Why don't you come on over.
Ballerina.
Out of the apartments.
And happy gods, got the first kill.
Couldn't quite get the second, but Hunter will.
Over the top of the connector smoke is, well, not bad from the 5-7.
Get out!
You know what, Bith gets so many points just for trying to make the MP5 work.
Yeah, you're right.
Like, what an incredible decision that was to jump out of the window in that fashion.
And, you know, the silence that helps in a way.
Meeeeeeah.
Yeah, this crouch walks into the...
...instant headshot mark.
Oh, it's a bomb still.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
It's a new show.
I don't think you're gonna be able to make this work. So you might just lose everything again. No kid. They got the kills is there
They've actually just want it. They've actually done it. And that's why G2 never eco
Really impressive stuff coming in with this round. It's gonna be close on the diffus. Oh my god. They do have it
That was down to the last zero point zero zero zero
Zero zero zero zero zero zero that's a I mean phenomenal retake
Poof, you can't you can't hold the bomb sites once you take them on the T side
But you can retake them on the CT side damn. Yeah, they're really good at taking the bombs
It's the whole thing. That's holding the bombsite. God. Let me see this level one second
Back you doesn't come out. You know like
That's where he was gonna be kicking himself second and really need to go searching for that
because you know it's a pretty good guess that they won't have a kit in the second round even though it's a force
I'll bind back into this one Navi, it's gonna be Hero AK from Akhazi, pistols on everybody else
This is exactly what the doctor ordered for G2 and the lobotom is delivered
nice early fours by Wynn to put themselves ahead
but it's all about the conversion
this one should have too many discrepancies
Malmsteen is transitioning back across just investigating that rampside
you've got one last salvo
Bits going to give him a 1D, here's a Tec-9
he's going to give him a two tap with the Tec-9
Two-tap with a Tec-9.
And attacking?
And then, Mikaze is going to swing out with the AK-47 after that.
Okay.
And he's going to be able to take the fight towards Hunter who's going to be moving towards CT.
Sponsor should be some pious, excuse me.
You like it a lot.
You would love to make sure to cash.
You take the round, obviously, if you can fight with CT.
Hunter cash is a heavy thing. There's four CTs there. You gotta get out of that bit.
This now becomes really hard for Navi. How do you...
They're gonna they're gonna play for CT stairs. I mean if you don't have a single flash
That works you never expect you don't really expect four players
They're right like you expect like two on the swing like four is a lot to try and hold back
No matter how many pistols you have trained at the angle
Yeah, no one's ready for that another good retake from G2 nice and easy swinging wide even without the flashbang
Does it matter two to one?
I'm probably three to one now off the back of that not the obviously inspection money with a bomb plant
but not enough to get a good buy out here, so...
321 Leave for G2.
Glad to see them actually getting a good start here on Mirage.
Oh man.
Hmm?
Tinko had a Fanta.
He had a Fanta? When was the last time you guys had a Fanta?
I love a...
a sparkling orange beverage.
I haven't like...
I haven't like once every four years I feel like.
I feel like I'm more of an orangina guy.
Oh!
Orangina.
Slaps.
So good.
From that cold glass bottle.
Hmm.
Holiday in Europe.
We don't have them in the UK, so it's like a holiday bath.
The bits. That's what makes it.
Yeah, it's the pulp. I like it. I like some pulp.
Tell a lot about a man by how he drinks his orange juice, pulp or no pulp?
Yeah, for sure.
Do you really want it all to be smooth in your life?
Or do you want to appreciate a little bit of strife, a little bit of struggle?
Yeah, the texture.
But no way to tell it for you.
I like the one that has some pulp.
Not too much.
Well, I'm glad we got that all cleared up.
Yeah, you guys are as well back home.
It was a soprano's reference, but no.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I haven't seen it.
It should have thrown a four and it's me.
If we were playing along, we don't worry about that.
That's OK.
Get it over here, too.
OK, great.
Ooh, that's me.
Have a hit.
Yeah.
That was thick.
Prismis always get fun.
Yeah.
Take the beach.
Have a good time, you friends.
Or a green room.
Or a green room.
Three to one.
G2 is up
and we get the first gun round underway. All right, Sumpias is going to have the AWP.
We love that.
We love having the AWP on the CT side.
Let's see what he's able to do with it. No AWP on the T side for wonderful, so not the
counterpart on the other side of the map.
And Navi's still trying to recover from that second round loss.
Played a very slow, calculated, T-sided felt on Dust 2.
Oh, he's absolutely nailed that double head shot!
Incredible!
I mean, one perhaps is expected, but the second such proficiency on display from Bizz, Rifling's been sharp today.
He is such a win condition for Na'Vi when he is on.
Yeah, that's really wild. I mean, both sides of the map as well. T-side work doing phenomenal stuff.
CT side is an anchor, one of the best in the Bizz when he's on point.
A little bit of utility dump as G2 tried to figure out what's happening on the map.
Now, McCauze pulling away from A.
He's kind of joined up with the rest of his teammates for this B finish.
He's got some utility ready to go over the top for me though, but he's not going to toss it.
Hanks onto it as they go contact. No being detected and now they go.
How do you go to here is the steps.
Primes himself ready for a fight.
And Roy, no watching a fight at all then.
That's why we call him Alexi B finish.
Yes, indeed it's one of his most popular tactics and he always he can't avoid it. He always be finished. He always be finishing
That was a double layered one. I like that
Let's triple yeah, he'd be finished Alexi be finished. It's your legs to be finished
I'll be it's the obvious the obvious reference and then it's the movie reference. Oh, what's the movie?
What is that movie the B movie always be closing?
Well three to two now, Navi's T side getting kicked off in this first gun round, only losing
wonderful, that's really well done, huge benefit having Pikachu 2 opening kills, not gonna happen
every single round, but you love this piece of aggression coming in his direction for
a double headshot and an easy close out for the air.
headshot so hard the camera fell over yeah interesting how the camera falls over
just as he gets a double and true kills
get to the bottom of it throw him on another train what was that guy's name
that was doing all the investigations damn Bill's area know something around
there I guess I don't remember Dan a lot of them a lot of them oh yeah that's
I know, Dumbledore's the big bearded dude.
Yep, same thing.
Both of them investigating cheaters.
In a way.
In a way, someone say.
Well, even this got down. Even this got down for free.
So it slows right down, wonderful, Mikazi at a ramp, bomb is in T spawn, BIT's coming out of palace, Alexi's got position over in middle.
Delpan?
Yeah, and Kera, you were saying like, what do we call it in English?
I think we call it Delphan's really yeah chair as well. Yeah, yeah, right. I wasn't sure if chair was this or that
Well, that is a lovely headshot
That is sound is push
Not my touch but his touch his touch
Back to a and they've only just blocked ramp now
So by the time they arrived they're gonna have to wait like 10 seconds and then they can rock on out with bit through palace
Yeah, that'll be the question. How do they want to execute this?
So they're gonna go full set of utility you're gonna try and play the late round and go contact as you disappear on the rest of
The map. I think you need the full exact
They've got the pieces to do so
More flashing to ramp. Yeah, okay, they bring the fire massive
Oh no, he's ahead of you.
But it's still effective, Alexi B did not find himself in a comfortable spot.
They had a deal with Malphs, he goes back again, nearly a third fright from that.
The Navi, regardless, are still crumbling upon their attempted entry of this A site.
Yeah, wanted to go contact, but the Flash was going to ruin their day, regardless.
Oh, but it was unlucky that Alexi, the first player who didn't get Flash,
was no HP, so just one bullet really took care of him, and his teammates were blind behind him.
Put him out of his misery.
We're on a terrorist win.
You just want to be a good team player, you know?
Go first with low HP.
Reveal the positions.
Let everyone else follow up.
Get the info for his teammates so they can trade.
And that's why you don't make decisions for the team.
That's why you play for yourself.
That's terrible.
That is terrible.
What's she saying?
The Jason O'Toole Mantra.
It all makes sense now.
Please, the amount of times I've had to bail you guys out of a tough spot.
Yeah.
I had a nickel.
I would have a few dollars.
I'd have a few dollars.
How many nickels go into a dollar?
20?
20 nickels.
They're five cents each.
Okay, nickels five cents.
And a quarter is a quarter of a dollar.
Yes.
I got that one.
I want that one out myself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pretty good.
You don't have coins anymore.
Do you have any coins in your pockets in the house?
Keep some in the car.
You do.
Keep some in the car.
I have a jar.
You have a jar?
I usually throw all the extra coins
into whatever the tip jar
or the extra change jar for the next customer,
whatever it is.
I'm living a almost pure phone transaction at this point.
Let me take my wallet out with me these days.
Very liberating.
It's weird, I don't like it.
I actually accidentally went to India without my wallet.
How did that go for you?
Apple Pay.
Well, you ended in the hospital.
So how do you think it went home?
But Apple Pay actually worked the whole time, so.
Really?
Yeah.
There was a moment.
Is there any other payment processor is available?
Well, of course.
Any processor if you're choosing?
Yeah.
use noon guard all right a little bit more okay okay we'll find you we love
that yeah that is wonderful
oh great stuff and off he into the realm heavy gods gonna try and respond
with a push through the apartments find themselves in the kitchen let's see
what he can cook
I mean, this is such an impossible situation to be in, if you're G2, losing two players
that early again.
Although I don't think Fakaze does not clear this.
Da-da-da.
Nope.
Heavy God.
What's the name?
I think the mom from B-movie was hot.
The animated mom?
Yeah.
the B mother better give the right answer you know what for an animated
character conventionally attractive Alex yeah there is there is I'm saying we
love that also did you notice that the male bees have buzzed cuts and all of
the ladies have be hives I've never seen I've never seen the movie Jason what
the fuck well matters be getting some kills through the smoke and wonderful
bit left alone. They've still got the op of some pious to deal with over towards CT. The
bomb can't get planted inside the smoke. You can wonder if I'll find an escape route. Good
shot.
Can I butcher that word? Is that what's making you laugh? I did kind of fall apart there.
It was just, I'm very well...
Oh!
Oh, here we go. All of a sudden going for the ace clutch as well.
Oh, I'm...
It's his trusty wipe in the AWP. It's the best gun for spying that.
That was smoke taken.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, why is he down there?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh my goodness!
It's clutch, there we go!
Holy moly!
What a play!
How do you say good day in Hungarian?
Because we got wonderful
from the Budapest major today!
Is it Dobro then?
I don't know, yeah.
Something like that.
It's clutch, wonderful!
Look at this one, this one's a thing of beauty.
Oh, perfect!
When he goes to the AWP to make his life more difficult as well, I thought that was a really cool move.
He's got a couple nice heroes today.
That's the second we've heard.
That's right Hunter, good bounce back.
It was a bounce back.
It was 3v5 after all.
Yeah, into a 3v1 somehow and...
Yeah, but forget about that bit.
Don't talk about that bit.
Let's focus on the ideas. Don't think what we need to do because there is like only 3 or 4 things what we want to do. We just need to focus and do it. I see a game that's fucking exciting. Why it's happening? I don't know.
Yeah, I think that's fair. Especially if you lose a 5 on 3. I think that's one thing that's gonna disboid off more than most things. I think they double smoked Red Room as well. So some miscommunication out of a gate, out of a timeout and you smoke and what?
Oh! That is fast!
Nice Eagle! Nice!
Olé!
Just always... it's just flawless man.
Okay, so forget about the two smokes in window cause you get a kill. Like this one.
That looks dude. Like that as well.
Just insane.
And once it just happens so early, it's gotta be frustrating for G2.
They just played a round like this. They played one earlier in the half where you have to play over
a minute and twenty seconds with a disadvantage.
So so tough for this defense to hold on.
Running out of money as well now.
Alexi, help through short.
Now he's gonna be watched by some pious.
He was going to be watched by some pious.
He was now taking up a more passive angle.
heavy god, I'll patienter you
Bit of it can I just smoke not all of it
30 seconds remaining here for nobby they're gonna be going for this be finished
Have you got his one the apartments fight Matt's is on short surely
They don't expect the second player and heavy god has done so much work anyway
Mom's is decals still going down wonderful
Trying to bail now the out again
Do it because there's the kill from Emma some pious has fallen and then they're running that ball with 13 seconds left
I think
Inter short and Emma wins the fight that is one hell of a recovery from Navi
I
Still don't understand how G2 are conceding these it's crazy work from Navi
Yeah, this is this is one of those off days and you can see it all the player cams
We go to the G2 guys after these like especially after dust to the way that played
I think there's just mounting frustration for both teams really
You heard the timeout from Blade where he's seeing the same kind of thing, anxiety causing mistakes, causing them to miss opportunities.
She too is probably feeling much the same way right now.
Yeah, I mean just my hopes there is the Joker player, right? Unfortunately has a Deagle and
can't connect on that final player, can we go out of the position to fight at the same time with him?
We're going to slide in through the merber hole as well.
He may be so good at that, which is funny because that used to be hunters bread and butter as well.
But EMA absolutely on Na'Vi, so much impact sneaking through window.
Everyone he joined the team and he was like, he was having a really tough time like the first six months
and he was catching a lot of flak like Mirage was always the one map
where you put him in the middle of the map and he just knows this.
Like you think of his time, you know, getting to the major final in Paris as well.
Paris as well, so many clips from EMA happening here on Mirage just dueling, just controlling
the middle of the map, so good at it.
This is just in productivity, this round of the MP9s.
Quite quick to be...
What, they fought again?
G2?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
5 SMGs.
ABB.
Always be buyin'.
Wow, that's actually a perfect timing.
Look at that.
Malbs. He's got a better weapon.
Navi is in a ton of trouble.
Yeah, look at the stack. Okay, all the S&G's in the right spot.
Lexi B's coming with that first kill. Hunter getting one, but make sure it's a quick trade here in Navi's favor.
But remember that flank, don't forget about it. Malbs is coming around the back.
He needs his teammates to step up, and they will, so wonderful about to be taken out.
And the buy has paid off here.
That's why you'll always be buying, Janko.
That's why you knew that was going to happen.
And, yeah, Shrek of the Head from Alexi B, he is going to be frustrated about that one.
They know that was supposed to be a bit of a gimmie.
Especially because it gets rid of Navi's money, right?
Like, that was the idea.
I guess what G2's realized, okay, we've brought them close to so many of these rounds.
We just went this one.
We're going to break them.
Nice flick up from heavy god as well.
Such a beast with the MP7.
And Malz actually does get some reward from his incredible timing.
Bearing in mind, the main reward was informing the squad on A.
Yes.
nice to get a little consolation frag as well
i mean there was that fourth defender who got a cheat over because of that
flank as well so that that that really seals it
nothing for us to talk about here so uh...
jason
add the beam into your watch list at the beginning of my life like a put it
put with andy she'll like it
oh doxing
it's okay her name's fun
okay cool
yeah i'd say it's her name
oh i got all hot
you're fine
Oh
Gotta find something to get around frozen. Yeah be moving. Oh, hello, and goodbye flying us P and they look
Like a bunch of mosquitoes
There's no bite. Yeah, so even some fighters smiling. How often do you see that?
Very very rarely. Yeah, we're a smiley man. Definitely not on media day. I can tell that no not a happy media day, man
No, never. The lobby, going up to some piers during the lobby, it's always...
I think unironically, Trenk has kind of struck to some piers, it's kind of like his sport.
Like, okay, he just treats it like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Watch out, watch out.
This is not fun, this is not games.
This is professional.
This is professional.
Yeah.
Super nice guy though.
Lovely guy.
Guys just look angry.
Just looks angry.
Yeah.
Bit of RDF.
Well, for Nobby, you take a full block round, you go to the next, you still gotta play with
two Galeos.
3 AK-47s around it.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, here comes my cousin.
This is just waiting, hanging around on those fronts.
Jealous.
We've got a couple.
Okay, spotted the barrel, still haven't seen the cubby player, still haven't spotted it,
haven't cleared it.
Everyone from Mattis, but traded back by Wonderful, and Hunter's got a step back behind the smoke,
so a disadvantage, a three versus four.
In the favor of Navi as they get this bomb planted at the A bomb site, we'll see if
G2 want anything to do with this retake.
They've got money, and there's one round left, so you imagine they're going to
of it ago and especially now, Sumpias finds one over in mid.
Well, they just punched him, bomb planted, and Sumpias being patient.
I hope he can catch him.
We're walking into the connect through.
Lexi B, looking towards CT spawn, Grenade will go flying high, and Bitt trying to time
his peek on a palace in the perfect time.
He has to step up and deliver everything now.
I think there's a player behind triple.
There isn't.
There's still one out towards CT and Sumpias is just around to the corner.
Oh no!
This is the shot!
That cost him no because he gets a second attempt, but we're gonna land those ones
Yeah, that's yeah last round I'll have coming right up here
It's it's not me who's gonna be hurting for cash flow
outside of
wonderful
I'll be didn't have too much to get excited about in this first half
This is no a couple nice openings from bit when they pushed into him
But really I crossed the board if I like Navi struggled to create back opportunities
But on the same level I'm almost thinking like pretty cool
You have four rounds despite all of that, you know, you got enough for the second half
Yeah, three kills from a car say two for him a four for a legs 14 for one
And even with both of his and that's one round
Yeah, it's a great round though. Yeah, it was very nice
Last round of the half, Flash goes to the sky, Mikaze's Matt Tang getting another frag for him at least.
Nice double here from Hunter. Great output from the in-game leader. Matt Tang's arriving, marching in.
A 2v2 established, some pies. Has arrived, can he connect the shot? You know you've got a player pin.
But the teammate walks in front of you for a second.
Mikaze now in the clutch, out towards Tetris. This would be for the ace.
Okay, do you sit behind the smoke? Do you try and make him think that you've left? Do you actually disappear?
You sit still for like 30 seconds. Mikaze, we're talking about. He's not going to do any of that.
You will start to back away.
Ooh, it was the right decision. He doesn't connect. Now, have you got it? He's going to beat him on the rotation, but where's Mikaze going with this much time?
Yeah, okay. Tactical genius, Mikaze.
The problem is, if you're Mikaze, you're going to want to hunt down and at least clear out
a ticket, which is where Sumpias is, right?
And the question is, do you have the time for that?
Is he thinking walk all the way there?
Otherwise, you're just kind of rolling the dice and planning in the bomb site and hoping
nobody peeks, which seems crazy.
You go down the ladder silently, you walk all the way across site, you clear CT ticket.
24 seconds to do all of that though.
Yeah, no.
Patrol.
All right, he's all right.
Gonna peek him, gonna get him, no problem, some pious.
He won't find the frag, he'll have to go for the defuse,
put an extra round file here for G2 and 8-4 lead.
After losing Dust2, they have balanced back
with a strong first half of Mirage,
setting up an opportunity to see ancient.
Oh
G2 and the lead 8-4 over Na'Vi, and really the only thing to get excited about for Na'Vi
were those wonderful rounds.
Every one kind of a little lackluster.
Gotta hope that the rest of the cast can step up alongside him
if there is to be a comeback and a dream of that 2-0.
You can reverse this quickly if you're Navi on the CT side,
especially if you have wonderful play in the way he is,
hitting some of the shots, some of the speed and accuracy
we've seen on display from him in this map so far.
He delivers that on the CT side.
You can be okay, but I think if you're played, you're still kind of concerned.
Like, you're still sat there, you sort of heard that time out of him saying,
stop being anxious, stop being frustrated, focus on the details.
We have our two or three things that we know we want to do.
Just focus on those to do them well.
I think on the CT side you can easily let those frustrations freeze you in place.
Will it be the Mortal Kombat call?
They do once again have an A site to be retaken.
There's smoke flash for the defuse but no kit on anyone from the Navi site.
It's like a game ending or round ending smoke right there.
I think you just go through it.
Yeah, you'll have to.
Yeah, flash and go.
Bosh! In the yellow, Mattis!
Moles 3! So that's it, that's definitely the round-ender.
G2 will win the pistol on 9-4.
This is exactly what you were saying, Alex. You know, G2 struggled completely on the first map,
come back in and they're the Dominant team.
Yeah, this is, uh, not only one of the ways it could have gone.
You asked Alex, told you three maps, not because, you know,
You know, these things are, but because they're all over the place, so there's no lock-ins.
No, far from it.
Yeah, now it gets way more difficult.
Lovely, this round. Lovely smoke that deep on stairs, that retake completely negated.
Newtard.
Let's see about the second round though.
This could still change the course of the game.
See a lot of second rounds lost by the team that wins the pistol today.
It's happened a few times.
multiple fumbles
they would be used to do a little bit of a lot
said throughout their
the deal
online is
just has a little bit of extra leeway specially by people with an anime
profile picture
that's true yeah that is very true
it's your accuracy up by seven-and-a-half percent yeah i try to try the theory
i'd go
pretty good with the deal i would imagine it was pretty good pretty crap
with all the other weapons.
Give or play someone in a game who's really good with the deals,
but they suck with rifles.
I know a couple.
I hate those people.
Oh, the opposite.
I know it's just because like, what are you doing?
Why are you only playing with the deal?
Like, why are you only practicing the deal?
What's wrong with you?
I'll get Harry to sit here right now.
Let's get into his face.
He's good with both guns.
Deagle and the Desert Eagle.
Well, let's hope it is as well.
It's got the Vigil out for a spin.
Hasn't been able to make anything happen with it.
Fawze getting one pick.
That's enough to distract and pull the head of Vatis away, but to get to second to
realize he's being shot from CT, goes back and finishes off his meal.
Fawze and Ima are not in a position to win or even be competitive in this round.
10 to 4 domination from G2.
Yeah, and I don't even know what the proper answer is if you're not even moving forward from here.
On some level, I'm like, I guess you just kind of have to win around and get started, so bye, but you're never going to make this comeback.
You have to have the rifles out at some point, so...
Honestly, it does feel at the moment like 8-4 if you lose pistol as CT, just take the USP equal.
Yeah, give yourself that one gun round.
Bye, it's 10-4. I think Mirage is a map where even with that 4400, bye, you can't scrounge something together.
a decent round. Yeah, we saw G2 in the round with all SMGs on the CT side, but that was
them being stacked up at the A bomb site. Like if you're forced to move around, that's a
tough scenario to make. Because it's also 10-4 doesn't feel, doesn't sound desperate enough.
You know, if you get thrown in there, obviously if you move that first round. Sure, but this
force if you commit and then your first buy round is it's 11-4, I mean you have
almost no room for prayer or error. You got none left in the tank. It's not great either way,
if you do win that buy at 10-4 all of a sudden. First of all the T's don't have a great economy of
their own so maybe you force them on an early eco and you can start to get rounds together but
but also if you lose one round it's still...
you're only 11
so regulation win is still in play
easier to get into OT
which you'll take being 10-4 down
oh yeah you take that RP
gotta have to work for it
what are the games we have today?
what else we got going on?
let's see, let's give a preview to the people
what is up for later?
okay we've got uh... well legacy monty's going on over on the b-street your
boy do miles plan
boy legacy do you know and the people out top right yesterday versus
and sixty miles he's doing good you know you got one point two five rating in
a loss against aurora yesterday that's an mvp level performance that is an mvp
level performance coming up uh... next we have uh... simultaneously mouse
astralis and put
will be a couple of big games. After that, we've got Team Spirit taking on Bait and then
Furia taking on 3D Max. Furia took an L yesterday. They're also going to be without Fallen in
the playoffs. If they make the playoffs.
Yeah, so probably not. Okay. Interesting. So, Miles Astralis is interesting for one reason.
That's a fun one.
And Spirit, Bait could be good.
That'd be a good, like, litmus test for Bait, won't it? Like, where are you at?
What's your guy?
Be interested see if they could put up a fire at least and I still think spirit has got to prove some things too
Like I know they're kind of the favorites, but mostly happy heavy like I could see spirits dying tea side having like
Some wonky clunky tea side and bait having a really polished, you know
CT Hall and then he gets close second half. Yeah, spirits are going to
Abyssal rate them. Oh good word five combo point finisher. It is a good word. Maybe not an accurate word, but a good word
Okay
and ability on ability and really really cares at the end of the day
it doesn't really matter that's another ability
all right we're gonna be grouping up in the b-hauls
Hunter soldiers being patient about any kind of pushes eventually the go
signal is there alexi playing from short macaw's is gonna turn the corner at
elbow actually looks like they want to just kind of execute some presence
over a mid. Now this is the wrong timing for it. There's the utility. Defender's
getting lured towards middle, away from the attack. On the Kaze peeking out, Hunter
emulps both dead and one fell swoop. 40 seconds on the clock. And here comes the
attack, straight in towards Alexi B. Nice strafe, just straight on the window.
Gonna be going for the plant, a fake, covered as well by some pyres on the
rifle, losing health rapidly. And heavy god, not gonna be able to get the
bomb down either because they stepped up with a double everything falls into place
now you take the fifth silence I key I take the fifth but they take it yeah
comment I like that then there was one player as well so money's money's good
on the CT side they're in a happy place a lot of dead terrorists in the
apartments yes well this would be quite the comeback from Navi they were able to
pull this off even got a third kill as well every time he gets a kill they
win the rounds highest impact player for Navi you're right okay so just keep
your eyes on him that I mean you know we don't just observe him but keep your
I don't know. Yeah, just remember like a dog situation. Yeah, so I think a dog situation
Yanke with some incredible observing yesterday
How to show the kids how it's done. Yeah, right? Just remind them. Yeah, where we came from
Bom on the back of pious can't call him that
Can't call him that
I mean people have called him Morris, specifically us today.
Yeah, sure.
It just makes me think of like Papyrus, which is just a really ugly font.
Well, it's also a revolutionary writing utensil.
You know about a guy who's like can't believe that the creative whatever for avatar just
used Papyrus.
Yeah, that's funny.
that is it's biggest cultural impact moment other than all the school
projects oh wait you got a kill that's how if you're gonna win the round six
all right at the B bomb site gotta stop that there's the kill coming out from
Mikaze gonna hold the line even more in front of the bomb site one more kill
so you have Alexia live at the bench but not for long all this showed up
tag but can't complete the kill and now the defense has vacated the
premises bomb being planted we've got a two-on-two no kids on the two remaining
players either
I created that's a kill surely have you guys just moved off though he still goes
down now some pirates up against mccasey who's coming through the
apartments
and some pirates knows yeah they heard the footsteps when he transitioned I
think whoever was alive with them
had called it out just no way you can get back into this perfect angle adopted
by some pirates and he can close it down
Wow bucking the trend and securing a load of math points for G2
Congress this one up feels like ancients and inevitability at this point
Yeah, this is way too sloppy of a game from navi. They're gonna have to just reset it themselves before coming back into
I'm sure blade's gonna give them a stern talking to on this
Could kill from you know, not a bad defense at the bomb site
I like see not able to produce produce anything from bench. Good job from some pious just all together in that round cut off
The rotation cut off the supportive element win the clutch as well

G2 want to end this right now.
Oops.
All smokes have faded.
Heading low.
Smokes are all gone, which means wonderful.
on him up.
Soon when this connector one goes away,
they can play together for this retake attempt
before the bomb even gets planted.
Challenger for the site, Mattis,
on his way into the middle of the bomb site,
has lost a couple of his teammates,
but have you caught him, Mattis?
Let's bring it right back!
All of a sudden, Alexi be alone.
And this one is to save the map for Navi.
Bombs in the open, they're kind of ignoring it for now.
They really want to take control of Ticket.
But Alexi's relocated, a good reposition,
line up and he's got the kills G2 take map to even things up we've got a third
and deciding map it's gonna be an ancient so don't go anywhere we'll be
right back and see who wins the series
oh no
They can't cross, they can't cross again. I'm without Kevlar's cloth.

Hey Future Pros! Mid on Ancient can be some vital real estate, so let's look at a
donut smoke you can throw to help take some space. To throw the smoke, position
yourself in the middle of this section of the window and at the corner of this
knobbly bit in the wood. Then simply throw the smoke. I class this as an
Ancient Essential you should know, so commit it to memory as it's a very easy
lineup. Pair it up with a red smoke and you'll be cooking.
I am funner than you funner than you we've got why and Kay otherwise known as yanko pound of it
And we've got Jason Moses o tool. What's happening then yo right now not much. Yeah, this this this is gonna be a brawl
I can feel it after that last map kind of let us
Wanting more is lacking in the energy and the excitement department was it was I think nobby's gonna come in with a different look here on
Ancients I know it's a lot to ask for but you guys remember the series from yesterday the nabby one
Yes, two stomps on the first two maps.
Oh!
Yeah!
There it is!
We did the comic game yesterday.
That's what we're hoping for here.
We're hoping for another close series, ancient.
This is one of the maps.
Once Navi started struggling somewhat with Mirage that was going well for them,
you're thinking, maybe this can become their signature pick perhaps.
Did it really transpire in such a way?
It was sticking with Mirage, sometimes some in Frunum.
Yeah, I think that it probably also depends on the results.
Like at a certain point, you have to win it enough time so I kind of move it in.
You know, move it up the priority slot on the veto list.
I hope so.
Yeah, I expect ancient to be abroad.
Sorry, was I talking over you?
No.
It was a recent discussion.
I think I saw it over on Twitter.
whereas I think it was sore, because of G2, who said something along the lines of ancient kind of
is too much of a contos in his mind right now. The fight for mid determines the outcome of most rounds
if you choose to take that fight mid, but I feel like there's new ones there that could be discovered
as part, you know, late mid takes, etc. Yeah, it was the content he did with Transponder Brutal.
Yes, yeah, but it was re-emerged, the conversation was reignited, I think a little bit proposed it.
But I do think the conclusion is that it's an interesting one, because...
Well, I think it's I think I think I've cast ancients where the whole
There's just how many players I admit in those early fights. It's like three people spamming smokes, you know
It's like there's a smoke there's a Molly
There's the typical flashes and then it's like who's blind and it's like it's I think about like long on dust, too
Like at a certain extent, you know, you don't know four flashes are gonna be thrown or six flashes are gonna be thrown
And sometimes you just catch a flash, you know, you're like, oh I'm screwed
I mean sometimes they chuck three grenades down and sometimes they land really well
Sometimes they bounce a little bit differently
I can understand like the crapshoot feeling of it because
There are games where like you feel like you can actually get out mid and
Okay, where it just gets wrecked. It's cool. I got him. I got him. Oh, you can do it yourself. Yeah, I'm a strong independent man
I don't need no help. I like that for you. I'm glad you found your way there
So the TV as well. Is that okay for everyone? Yeah
It's good. It's good. It's fine. Oh, I think it's one of your seats is if you mess up even a nade here with an elbow
You screwed we did get a we were about to get live into the game and then and then one of the one of the players dropped out
So we're gonna we're gonna pop up. I think it was a webcam situation. Oh, obviously
Yeah, naturally a webcam situation
It was a webcat a couple minutes to wait as we just kind of chill and get everything fixed and back and ready to party
I do think Mikaze is one of the best T side mid players though
When you won't swap sides Mikaze is so consistently good at the good test to see if you can match the
Yeah, I thought I used to think he was really good at that too. Yeah, he was and then you got Mikaze joining up on the team
It might have to take a little bit more of a back step on that
Well, he's gonna have to match mobs because mobs if you want to talk about players who are good on ancient especially in middle
Mobs is one of those players that we pointed in the past and like this just seems like a map where he's very comfortable with every fight
He'll be presented with very comfortable with every angle. He's got a clear and walk through small versus macaze. Yes
I think you're right should be fun, you know also ancient for Navi junior
But as it was all it was one of their best maps and his highest rated map
and this is where he instantly, as soon as he joined,
now he was able to find impact, perform at a tier one level,
which was surprising to see if someone coming from an academy team.
Have you got the hangry thing?
Yeah, I like it.
I didn't know if you got the hangry thing.
Let's give it a stop, Blue Steel.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, let's get into it.
Steel, Steel.
Yeah, guys, let's reset.
Let's reset and be ready to come back to his fighting mode prevention, please.
That's very respectful.
I was. I think you were saying...
Fuck them.
That's what I thought we were going to do.
I'm just saying, if you heard Taz say that,
there would be five threads on Reddit.
That is how.
Oh, wrong.
That is true.
Oh, Lexi, they're coming at you pretty fast.
They've smoked out from the CC cross.
He's sending some bullets in.
Navi arriving on the rotation.
It's going to be a 5v5 on the retake.
Ooh, not as deep of a break as they wanted on that smoke.
So no significant opportunities caught in transition.
Five on four for Navi or for G2 excuse me.
Oh and have you got a fight with him or he's got a bit nasty but unfortunately the temple duo
we've found plenty of kills. One back from Makaze he's doing what he does best on ancient
unable to find another third. There it is. Asking too much.
Malphyrus is Makaze. Malphyrus 1-0 up. Okay Malphyrus the head to head round 1. Three
kills on the pistol Makaze only two. Alright I'm going to take on that responsibility
in this game I'm going to look specifically for Makaze and Malph's fights in the
Okay, I appreciate that. I'm gonna keep the counter for us at the moment. It's 1-0 for malts. Okay, great
Okay, I'm glad we can count on you to do that. I got you. So should we count that or are we just the middle one?
Oh, no, I counted. All of them are counted.
All matter.
Because of the engagement.
And that, he actually really owned it.
Yeah, and I said all one tap, wasn't it?
Looks like Macaulay's looked on the banana peel.
Woo! I didn't know he's gonna get out.
Yeah.
Olé!
Apologize for that. Apologize for all of us.
Alright, Matt.
There he goes, Matt.
The flash was good! It was a good flash!
They still lost 2 for 2.
There's McCarthy, though. Look at this. His moment.
Coming around the back.
He's not dead. Now he is.
Heavy God pays a lot of damage.
He could go down. This is a 1v2 that he could very well have a shot at.
I thought some pirates just been chillin'.
He's like, Flanks clear, guys.
Flanks clear, don't worry.
I think Cave. They're like, yeah, we know.
I'm not sure...
if they're going to be taking too long to go for this bomb plant?
No, no, okay, good.
Okay, cool.
Immersary position could come as a bit of a surprise to some pilots
because that smokes up on long, it's just faded now.
So now you start your investigations.
It's a little too quiet, right?
What's to create some safety for Heavy God and now?
Boom.
Now it's look for the flank.
You just want to make sure that Heavy God's not going to get pushed
at some weird timing from here on out.
Heavy God, you die if you get into an engagement
and some pilots are going to play the clutch.
Yeah, which is how I can handle it.
It has no kit, but I feel like an easy read for him ever, some pyrocytes.
Round down, MP9 jump in, but some pyrocytes out with the sound cue and the Leo will win it out.
So, the 2-0 start for G2, comes down to the 1v1 though.
Something that's sort of imprinted to the back of my head on this map about Navi is just always the fast retakes.
Like you can see even in this round, it's more towards A, but even here in something fast it'll just keep coming.
You know, they keep sending bodies, uh, push through smokes because they don't want you to set up in post-planned situations, especially on A, like...
Yeah.
It's more towards the A bomb site, because...
They want to come in before the bomb even goes down or what?
Yeah, exactly, because once those smokes pass, you can't plant the bomb. Like, if they deny it to you...
Oh, alright.
Hello?
It's not bad from B.
Needs more of that, and hasn't they been able to do so?
Have you got a lovely double entry with the MP7 and secured it?
There is a little bit more of a threat because they get put down.
Comfortable. No retaking this one.
So that always needs to be, you know, the G2 players need to be aware of that.
If they do go for some fast A-play, whether it's a rush or just a fake mid-take,
go into an A-execute, like you need to count on Na'Vi players
pushing through those CT smokes with flashes popping behind them
and you just need to be ready for that fight.
Almost, you know, even before you get the bomb down.
We didn't, we recovered, we didn't cover this game, obviously,
but I thought I'd just bring it up for the class here in case you guys didn't see the result.
Pain, deep phase earlier today, 2-1.
Oh, I saw it.
So, sent phase to the O2.
I told you, they're not making the major.
Wasn't the last map a 13, well, spoiler, 13-5.
Yes, yeah, the O2 maps were close.
From there, it was a beat down.
It's getting worse.
Two twists to the tweet as well.
So he's not happy with his own individual performance or the team play that face the display
It was just above Carrigan on that final scoreboard
Yeah, well, I'm putting that way stick. Yeah
Now we got a mid fight. Here we go. Carrigan's like what the hell I thought I had a great game
No, he was zero like seven zero points on or something. Okay, I'm already across. This is a lot of early friction
Hunter's already borrowed deep towards Red Room. Some pirates and mobs can edge their way out.
You've got Makase towards the donor position.
Here, Matt loses his head. A nice tap from Hunter.
Still a bit there to pick up the piece.
Malb's removing a reaction onto Bit.
I've got my way. You want him.
Right where you want him.
The whole map.
Whole map and a whole lot of time also for G2.
So, the most important thing in this situation is not to end up running into a stack.
So, I like what they're doing now.
They're just taking their time, seeing if a re-aggress is going to come from Navi.
Maybe they can make it a 4v2.
Well, this might be the next best opportunity.
Someone like Mikaze coming in just to investigate over in the middle.
I mean, if you're a Navi at this point, you're trying not to have to push
and move across the map while also having enough information to know what's coming.
You're gonna be playing blind for a lot of this round, G2 has stayed so, so far back,
no sound cues until that smoke pops.
And now we start working into the A bomb site.
I imagine this is just gonna be a quick save call from G2.
Plants A, save the weapons, try again to the next one.
You got the AWP on wonderful, you don't wanna risk that.
I said that, but McCausen's gonna come over and just see if he can get something
quick.
Yeah, like if he gets given something he might.
Oh, let me see if you can deny the bomb. It's covered.
Good parthings, safe. No one else is moving, so yeah, Mikazi's just seeing if you can scare him.
That's a pretty scary smoke, but you can do more through it.
The Empire's good awareness doesn't overreact.
Yeah, without any kind of pops of flashbangs, without any footsteps, you know the retake ain't really coming in.
So, first, or excuse me, fourth round of the board for G2.
picking up right where they left off yeah now if you haven't really been able
to kind of reset so blade was asking for coming to this map right like let's
let's get it back let's be ready to fight let's all be let's all be locked
into the fight not yet so maybe they need to call a locksmith because they
They seemed locked out at the moment by G2.
Okay.
Seriously, yeah.
Well, we'll workshop that one.
Or get a battering ram.
I think you needed to throw it in a little bit more conversation happening, you know?
A locksmith's picking locks, or do they just kind of like switch?
So, I locked myself out in Malta five minutes after getting the key, so...
It's an achievement.
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
Long record.
The landlord would give me the key, and then he went out and I didn't realize the
door automatically closes and locks.
So I was like calling him five minutes later, and I was like, yeah, I love myself now.
I did it a second time.
Oh, dear.
Did you call the landlord, did you?
I called the locksmith.
Well, I did call the landlord.
He was in a different country.
So I got a locksmith.
He actually opened this door with two plastic sheets.
It was pretty insane.
So they are kind of just professional lockpicks.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That's illegal to have lockpicks in the States.
If you're not like a locksmith with a license.
Yeah.
Right.
You have a gun.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
All right, as long as you guys have your priorities
Jesus
There might be some details about law that I don't know about but just you know you can blow off the barn door
No, no
All right
Somebody actually pulled this back
3d5 for G2 they brought back it might need more than a locksmith at this point might need a pair
The head shot, you know, he's ten Paul
Sonny P1v2
Jesus pre-aim up
Sonny P's just gonna have to let this one go. Oh, they've done so well beautiful. Now. You're on the board
Well, both teams really losing that round, you know, everyone leaves
Another one is retakes there where you're just like, ah, I feel like that just shouldn't have shouldn't have happened that way
You know, I should I feel like it that should have been pretty much
Navi completely locked out of that bomb site with no way to get in like you get three kills so so quickly
You're now sitting in a three on two lose one in CT spawn lose one of the jump up over
Because it's good at this video, but that's what he's really strong. I mean Matt is for whoever just
Die to a laxie and CT spawn right? I was the one that's where I'm like, why are you there?
They're letting you know
Here comes another classic Macaulay versus Valves
Spamming while flashed through a smoke and that is the
Oh, it's worked out from mobs.
Two zero from mobs.
What are you talking about?
Three zero actually.
Three zero from mobs.
Jay's double checking.
Thank god Jay resisted.
You had one drop.
You said this is one of the people who made one drop.
I missed one in there.
You know we all make mistakes.
Thank you Jay.
Yeah.
I knew I had Jay with my back.
Yeah right.
I knew he was there.
Wonderful hearing the action. Do not be relaying that to Alexi. Yikes.
Going fast. Oh, I like this. It was a one and done.
Flash didn't catch Hunter, he was anti, and so profits.
Ooh! Oh no, set some distraction for Ima.
I'm going to knock him over. Wonderful actually going to shot back as well.
Another advantageous situation. Falling into Navi's favor now.
Hey, here's your 1v2.
Did you get it last round?
Here's your 1v2 for Sampias.
And he closed.
Take it away, sunny Pete fans.
Well, he didn't do it in the last round, but this time he will.
He's found himself a lovely position here.
He's not using the AWP, he's using the AK-47.
Known for his rifle.
What if Wonderful throws a perfect Molly towards the B?
That would be fantastic.
Oh, give it to me.
But it's gonna go way too deep for Wonderful.
No problem, Sampias actually works in his favor.
He can stay towards the ramp.
It's gonna be a defusal here for Wanda4, he's gonna peek it next second, then supplies
as a 1v1 fight and supplies makes the 1v2 look easy, never in doubt for G2.
Ultimate could never.
Yes, he could.
That's what you want from him?
That's what he's there for?
Closes it down, picks up the round, Na'Vi looking poor.
Yeah, that one's rough.
This half has fallen apart.
You might need to take a timeout to get a conversation going for the Na'Vi side of things.
Issues get a pop up
So five to one
Yeah, it's slipping out that gross. Yeah, that's good. I mean
Gone terribly wrong for G2 with all the mid action. Luckily the bomb was
with some pious which is also kind of crazy to think they wanted to switch to
a and go doughnut and the bomb was outside b yeah there's probably something
to that call that we didn't that we didn't have that we're not privy to that
does seem a little weird but it's nice that some classes like great I know
where the other two players are now you get the info and you get the clutch
so laughing all the way to the bank with five T rounds already under their
bell and more available it's a compromise by coming into round seven now I was
going on his wall part mid confirms it's occupied
makes you be an empty nine and yeah they're gonna lose out the two for one
nice from Hunter and Mattis lovely trading wonderful not shy at all oh
smoke fade my cousin trying to get on the board in the head-to-head is a good
cool yeah what three to one there jason
he's gonna pull it off oh he hit him he
clipped him saw the bomb too start playing
mccasey it's your turn it's like it's
gonna be up to him yeah it's gonna be his
flank that probably that probably comes
with us he's gonna have to hold on to
cave throughout the entirety of this
situation when the bomb eventually does
get planted thankfully he's got the
smoke popping so he's gonna know
it's this B bomb site
Oh!
Ooh!
Oh, some pice again.
Enemy number one here for Navi.
Because he does come up from heaven?
That's the point.
Against Molph, say he's one, Jason.
Three-one.
All right, Jay?
Two-two.
I was corrected by Jakey.
He is two-two.
So it wasn't three-zero, it was two-one, and now it's two-two.
Correct.
Correct.
Gosh.
See, it's not as easy as it looks.
Anyone else want to try?
No, I appreciate it. I can't count, so I thought.
So you were wrong and the guy...
Correcting me was wrong.
Okay.
But the third guy in the chain of command...
How do we know Jakey's right?
Jakey's always right.
He is watching the game. He is watching.
That's...unlike Jason.
That's a pretty big step, actually.
Oh.
That's pretty important.
Maybe she wonder what...what is Jason doing then?
I'm watching the game.
In a way.
In a way, so let's say.
In a way.
Six, six half, I can feel it.
that asked me how what skin of the M4 is maca he dropped it a four is just so
much more security I don't understand the other the skins they want better he's
right oh that's yeah okay skins equal way I'll take your I'll take your word
for it last time these two teams play you took about zero rounds on T side
the ancient so this is going a lot better
flashbang about 1044 lovely from all sanity three to two quick leg
I told you I told all of you I was on ancient is a freak super freak super
Friggy
This is weird. Yeah a little bit
This is very weird like heavy-god. He has he relayed that he could still be on that. No, I think it's a yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
We're considering it
Wonderful has no idea that the whole squad or now he does he's had the needs. Yep. Yeah, here we go
Golden golden opportunity. It's hard to see him game like copper. Yeah, I'm all I copper
Like a Sumerian Tablet.
Hate those.
It's on the rise.
What, Sumerian Tablets?
Precious Metal.
Copper.
Copper is.
I was talking about that.
You know, you're talking about American Law.
Yeah.
In England we've got funny ones where, just because you said copper, it told me to a
policeman.
Yeah.
Nicknamed for a policeman.
Yes.
That's why I'm mad.
Yeah.
We have a law that a pregnant woman can request a policeman's hat if she needs to be.
That's awesome.
Yeah. That's your deal in there from 18.
No, the Bobby hat.
The big Bobby hat? That's an emergency.
Oh yeah.
Pregnant ladies pee. Receptical, urinal.
So you pee in a hat. You can pee in a policeman's hat.
It's legal.
If you're legally obligated.
That's kind of cruel.
You have to be pregnant or be any lady.
I believe you have to be pregnant.
How do you prove it?
See even back then they knew.
They knew that you need to pee when you gotta go, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. Jurassic Park taught me that.
Seven to one.
I learned everything I know about dinosaurs from Jurassic Park.
The OG one had a lot of information. I mean it was all wrong.
It was all wrong.
Yeah, they had feathers apparently.
We didn't find that out until later.
The other raptors were also smaller.
Yeah, tiny little pigeons basically.
Fishes pigeons.
Mind you.
Oh lord.
What's wrong?
my world view. Yeah, sorry, man. Yeah. Sorry about that. Back to back time. That's back to back time. You're not tripping. And they waited
to the end of free time after the first time I have to do it. So they really maximized the amount of time they're going to get to
have a chat. This is a proper emergency. You got to appreciate that blade knows when his team's playing poorly and his team's
playing poorly right now down six Alex and they haven't really seemed to found any solutions. Fragging is still a little bit
still a little bit light in that regard he hasn't taken a breath look at that
microphone icon he has taken motor mouth because they saying yes sir so you can
say that's all you that's all you can really do it's still going there we go
anything it's surprising that this is the first time I'll play takes even though
it's two of them yeah nine and they're losing seven one he strikes me as the
kind of coach who would like let his team play through the struggles to a
certain extent and then be able to like just to have the material for like
the review. He's like, you guys suck those games. I'm getting plenty of stuff to work
with. Yeah, you're giving me lots of work. I mean, I kind of was kind of sad. Can we
go? Yeah, that would be fun. That would be one way to tilt them off the face of the
planet. Another one would be sending mobs out again. Have you got already making his
way out towards the A site? Mobs again, dropping the XTB. Mccasey has got a fight
Oh wait, this one's getting a bit hectic now and he killed some Prius and the round just
ends in disaster.
And the first unforesterer's out of G2 and it's off the back of the back to back timeout.
Frozen.
Lost her mojo.
Her metam's gone.
Seven five half.
Balth her back at that.
Fat bastard has stolen my mojo, baby.
That's a great movie for a date man, the third one is underrated I think, Gold member?
Extremely underrated.
Is that the third?
It's the third one.
There's one with a little barrel in it.
What's the first one?
What's the order?
Spy who shag me first?
Yes.
Then what's number two?
I'm not sure to be honest.
Shag a lish isn't it?
Shag a lish?
That sounds like a knock off.
Well, alright, Navi.
This is the moment you needed.
This is the one you've been working hard for.
This is what the second time out was for, to put you in this scenario.
Round ten, three rounds left in the half, and you're probably feeling like you gotta
win them all.
Pokemon
That's what they say that's what I say
Was Ash catching the one said to be or not to be?
Question oh so good at it. He is good
Converted nicely wonderful will punish the swing out of the ledge 33
There's a 42. I can't remember shit. It's terrible this job. He's for three mobs
Yeah
Jay
Don't ask. Yeah, correct
43 okay
I'll I'll submit Jason. Yeah, that'd be great. I haven't apparently really on the struggle boss with
Counting could use an improvement. Go to put some Sesame Street on
And this is a two on four that doesn't look like there's any legs to this Alexi be can just intermittently jiggle out
But he's not they'll play even more of a safe setup. There is very little ways this can go wrong
But what are those is headshots, yeah, but you need to hit some stunning it shows
Smoke on the shore side and they will activate bits gonna be primed and ready little pre-fire doesn't work Molly will force him wide
Flash forward. Here it goes down. It takes one with it. Not bad.
Stands in the flames to remove heavy guy to put some fire into the clutch.
He's already had a 1v2.
He's got a fight before he plants, but there's really no good options. Good shot.
Oh, there's the double swing. Alexi follows up wonderful. Never expected it.
And Navi yet again with another round win.
Double timeout turnaround.
Here we go. Now we're cooking.
Could this be a game?
Oh, this feels like a game all of a sudden.
Oh, there's only three in the CT side. That part kinda hurts.
It does, but also, I don't know, G2's team's side's having always filled me with comp.
Yeah, they've been a little bit up and down, eh?
Mm-hmm.
Dick!
Nice, dude.
Come on.
Okay, he's just, you know, fixing this thing.
Yep.
I like that he looked at the camera, though. Either they gave it a glance to make it look...
Yeah, I felt like he was looking right into our soul.
He's like, is this a good angle?
Is this okay?
Do I look nice?
Absolutely.
Seven to five necessary.
We did say they had to win all of them.
So this is only the beginning
and we're not going to see G2 fully invest.
So maybe we get to see my favorite call on Ancient,
which is Rush Pinot Stop.
It's not that kind of thing.
Although I could go for a BPOP.
Yeah, just a couple of flashbangs.
Yeah, second spawn extinguish.
Nothing fancy, nothing similar.
Oh, just keep it basic and get in there.
Smoke grenade, but we do have a desert eagle. He might be going somewhere else. Actually, you know Malm's will rush with a Diggle
That's kind of his thing. He can use the Diggle like most people use a tec9. I
Wish I could do that me too
It's not the rush be no stop it's the smoke have moved the bomb back a lead bomb spawn
Yeah, they go back to get the ball. Have you guys got it?
Thankfully his team's walking so he'll be able to catch up
They'll have a timing wonderful with the op is posted up over in temple
They'll have first crack on the defense. Makaze will drop back towards donut. Ema will shift over with some quickness
first shot lands
They're floating in though
Great the bombs now arriving. Just a bit too late though. It's coming out of a mate
Great shot from Hunter take nice command don't even need the bomb and you've got pistols
You've got headshots and RV of let this one slide. Whoa
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
I didn't finish off onto some pies either.
This round makes play very angry.
Yes.
Not a happy bladey.
That's just done.
Like, what are you supposed to do?
Like, there's no way to recover that.
You lose those three deaths in that fashion.
No utility chucked on the swing.
I don't think they had, like, the knowledge of the complete scaling
that they were going to be that close to fighting in CT spawn.
I think they thought they could turn that corner and start some ranged fights
Either way man
It's a brutal brutal way to lose a round when you're just building back up into the half and look at the money now
Yeah, you're probably gonna go down 9-3 now off the back of that
Not great now what you're looking for no far from it
Lovely shot with the eagle from Hunter, but the P250 chimes in the tech nine chimes in
Damn that that got eradicated quickly
They're having a great time today, understandably when you see the doors messy spray under the
flash.
How is he alive?
He's fine.
How is Makazi alive?
They've got full lane info so that's valuable for the CT side.
You know it's mid heavy.
Mattis is awaiting them upon the fade of the smoke which is coming in now.
he can just clear out bit this is always seen as a bit of an over commitment
the fact he's still here I guess he's just banking on them not doing their
clears might be able to get a nice backstab here
takes what he can get removes Hamter and pulls them back into a 4 on 4 yeah but
now he's kind of stuck right so this this this engagement's a lot who's
gonna control this part of the map could kill from Mattis
Stamming down, good damage on to Alexi in the follow-up, doesn't like that whatsoever.
Floor on three, Alexi's half HP, Makaze's a quarter HP, and everyone's readjusting back to the B bomb site.
Three on one here.
I'll make this.
Drop it, Alexi.
At least one kill back here from one to four, but 35 seconds remaining, last round of the half.
G2 in pursuit of a 93 lead on the final map.
Oh, and they're gonna get it.
and they're gonna get it.
Wrap it up here, okay?
Well, we all thought this could be a really close game.
We thought it might end up seven to five,
but Navi have thrown that away.
They've made their coach very, very unhappy.
And now it looks like G2 are in pole position
to round up the series
and collect themselves a two to one victory.
It's the coach's disappointment
more than the anger that really hurts, you know?
The disappointment to play it.
That is the story of Navi today.
And nine to three lead for G2 secured a big clutch.
Remember that one from supplies in this first time.
We'll see if there's any more in this second.
I'm a Wally Lucy

And that's what it is!
We're not even so bad!
We're not even so bad!
He's there, he cannot defuse guys.
He's still there.
He's pushing left.
He's up there.
Nice baby!
I don't see him.
Tebow up.
Tebow up.
What happened corner?
I'm still there.
I'm still there.
Wait.
He's drinking.
He's dead.
He's dead.
Stop dead.
Let's do this guys.
I can't go down.
Back to back.
Timeouts from Blade gave Na'Vi a little bit of a turnaround, but this has been G2's map all over.
Incredibly comfortable, T side from them leaves them nine, just four required as they swap sides.
And it's looking bleak for Na'Vi. Strong start to the series. Things were all coming up. Na'Vi.
But G2 have stabilized quite convincingly and I've got a sofa full of Counter-Strike fans.
You want to see this one get competitive. It was like Na'Vi got their way back into that
half after a terrible start and then the round we just saw, right? The eco, VIN from G2 got them from
7-3 to 9-3, it was looking like now we might even get to 7-5, considering that they were
down 7-1 would have been a big feat. It's the way to lose the pistols, it's just a nightmare really.
That's a comeback Ember, like right when it just begins as well. Yeah, I want to,
that'll send you right back down into the pit of despair. And you feel like, you know,
If you're wonderful you feel responsible even though like so you started out with your
You got your first one. Yeah, you always feel like I could have probably done more
But like, you know, it's not like it's a grievous misdeed. He didn't mess up
Got the first kill. It flooded the side. Retake did fall apart
Right like the tech nine did double dinky swinging temple and you did have a successful fight on ct as well
But like, you know, it's not his fault, but he's gonna feel responsible. Yeah, absolutely my point
um
So yeah, not ideal. I think if we were making a checklist, Janko, of things that need to happen
for this to be not a G2 stomp and slaughter into our final half of play for this series,
what do we throw on that list? Well, obviously, either pistol and conversion or a force by win
if you end up losing pistol, right? You need to get to get within striking distance before you
You can come back because anytime you have to come back on the T side, the CTs know exactly
how many rounds they need.
So you will see more saves, more gambles if they're a man down, which will lead to a
stronger economy and more buy rounds.
That's why always coming back, you're going to end up having to win more gun rounds
than what your opponents did probably.
We had a small tech issue.
It looks like Hunter is back in the server.
PC quickly restarted.
that's R-E-S-T-A-R-T-E-P restarted oh sometimes I feel a little restarted yeah
sometimes I feel like you're pretty restarted too but like a in my own way
Maccaze is another another technical pause later
they have an impact if it now he was to make this comeback happen would be
Maccaze yeah you make that be another ingredient you know that was this
Corp with the human mouth Jason you're keeping track of that right
Dinko took over, so over to you, Dinko, and for you.
Four to three, in favour of Malph.
You have no idea that that's still the same score.
I do.
Oh, OK, this is great.
McCarthy just runs into the site.
There was a flash, there was a chance,
but Bitt has decided to hit heads.
Takes two before.
Oh, wow, some passes responded in.
Clothesline for number three.
Dan, if you're to stand your ground,
you better hit that shot across.
Shared!
Ravel's got Bully!
That's a big O-Life for Wonderful.
Oh, we got a game, maybe. Potentially.
We got a pistol round, that's for sure.
And let's see if they buy back up here, because G2 on pistols, man.
They are very sharp. We've seen that already in this half.
We'll see if Mobs gets the Deagle out.
This one goes out to Wonderful.
Yeah, I'll pour it out.
Cold one.
Sympias, man. That's a beautiful shot.
He's going to be so bummed they weren't able to convert this round.
Egor fucking mania
Another nice Egor!
Man the nice Egor's are just so powerful, they're just right there in your face
A lot of clutches
Egor, that too
A series
Egor is a wonderful
Supposed to his brother
Honestly, his impact this map is impossible
It's a weak Egor
Sorry
I liked where you were yelling at
I just saw that you were gonna get there so I just started talking
Glad you liked that one, Jason.
I did.
But Yankee didn't say it.
I like everything.
Okay.
Over to you.
I'm chaotic neutral.
I just have it everything.
Yeah, I know.
Chaotic for sure.
On the base, by cool.
It has worked wonderfully.
Lovely positioning from the SMGs.
And we're not talking about the Navi player.
No, sir.
One, two.
One, two.
All right.
That kill takes some resources away to watch the flank.
We need to win this.
Yeah, BIT's got to play buddy system. Now they've got to spread out and find better locations to defend against this retake
because it's wrapping around B ramp.
Oh, heavy god. Desk is spotted on the turn back from BIT, but that does open up the opportunity here for Hunter to get in behind.
And leave wonderful to 1v2 and now he's in search of another nice E-Core.
And unfortunately not going to get it this time. Huge swings from Hunter with the MP9 just to train both of them.
Force by conch eat his way like you're just missing out every chance now Navi
You win the pistol can't convert it
Yeah, the force behind the first half or just the tech nine and p2-50 deal by earlier that they lost and now this one here
Getting doubled up
Around you just Connie go
Oh
the involuntary standing evasion.
Yeah, that's so hyped.
10 to 4.
Don't knock the camera over, you know?
That's all we asked for at this point in the game.
Out mid.
We're looking at that mobs head to head again.
4 to 3.
And head to head if you're wondering.
Still.
Good.
Good.
Keep it track.
Jake, can you check that?
What?
Is he right?
4 to 3 still?
He is 4 to 3.
Nice.
JQ's here keeping track
How many casters does it take to come out? I got it four or three. Yeah, I mean, we had to fight check it didn't we? I
Got community noted
What is this crazy looking buy I
Mean that's a lot of faith in the car there and it is ancient T side so we get another head-to-head potentially here. It comes
The eighth installment nice
The 8th chapter.
Oh, and Mikaze is gonna win it.
Yeah, it's a little unreasonable.
He did get to play two players, but...
Hey, Raz, is that right?
Can we just check it?
4-4?
Can we ask Jake as well?
Good, good, good.
Jake, Jay-Raz is the one who says confirmed.
Yeah, okay, cool.
We got double confirmation.
You can rely on that.
Yeah.
Mikaze in the back ranks, though.
If you just don't die, if you could just live,
lovely, great, well played.
It's a shame because the backstab isn't really going to do anything yet yet
It is going to be a if you can cool laying clear by killing two people then it would be doing pretty significant things
Yeah, but he doesn't have the time to go
Yeah, they hear the footsteps now too everyone's gonna be coming over you have to be aggressive here all you have to do is hold on good
Dink good kill
He's sevens. I'll be
People
Yeah, that's one of them some bias picking it up 11 to 4 not quite the barn burner event
Should we were hoping for but a tech issue?
Camera will be camera of course almost has to be surely it must be
It's also I mean not going to criticize the buy but not be at 4 to 10 felt the need to buy in that round
And now you're kind of 4 to 11 in that situation
We kind of touched on the previous map where it's like it's no great answer
Do you want to force by here or do you want to do you want to save for the rifles and let them get the 12 and play for
Over time from four both of them seem equally crappy in my mind
What do you imagine yourself doing you hear this music
What am I doing it take to this music like to this music this music
What does it make you feel like you're doing? I'm in the elevator of the Grand Budapest Hotel. Okay. Yeah, I'm going up
I've got a little box of macaroons. Sure. I'm about to deliver them. I like that. Yeah, that's lovely
getting optimistic. What's your favorite macro? I've never had one. Really? The coconut ones
is actually my favorite one. Not those little French things. Okay. I'm sitting on a park bench.
I'm feeding ducks. Some bread. Just a little bit of bread. I'm gonna tear a piece off. Throw it out
of the ground. Sun in my face? Sun in my face. Wind in my hair. What season is it? Spring.
That is. And the spring going into summer? No, like mid spring. It's like definitively
spring. Would you say it's like hoodie weather? No, not quite hoodie weather. You could wear a hoodie
if you wanted to, if you were feeling like you wanted to wear it. Is that a perfect weather
where you can wear whatever you want? Exactly, it's like San Diego weather.
Yeah, a whale's vagina.
Well, Jason's going to bring you the news, the anchorman here in the shooter, Jason.
What is happening?
Well, at the moment, currently, as we can see here in the sports show, the freestyle
is counting down.
We're going to get rid of the elevator park bench music and we're going to bring
you right back into the dulcet tones of whatever massage parlor is in the T spawn
playing that playing that music right it's important to us if you had to use a
clone that works six hundred percent of time what would that be yanko just water
just war that's good that's definitely a Leo the toilet sounds like toilet water
it does actually you think they thought about that we know when they named the
toilet
I'm system well and that's the end of that thank you for coming yeah that's
we're next week it's been fun bye please come back again
all the culture did most get the kill on the cause they there J Wow now you're
not paying it's a scene because this is why we can't trust it yeah no okay
this is teamwork was bringing us all together do we do we see didn't feel
Like it was bringing it all salt together when I was doing I'm just gonna throw that one out there didn't feel like there's a
We all we all came together against you Jason. That's true in a way. We all came together. That's nice. I'm happy for all of you
Is this it I think this is it probably and that's a lot of damage taken by my cousin and a lot of it
That doesn't stop it because he's still good for what?
It was balls. Oh
Little quick switch there mr. Malbs
He's mentally already thinking that he was going to re-smoke elbow, but Kaza has that control.
Oh, brought right back. Almost doubles up. But Kaza is low. He will not get traded.
How's he doing this with 18 HP? He's playing with a handicap and still delivering.
Story of my life.
I'll surprise and hunt top.
Are they going to do it?
The 2v4 would be the most devastating of all.
No, this is around the Navi just knows you can't lose.
I think they're playing this right now very, very chill.
Look at the way they're sending out some feelers into these bombsites, see if they
can find some defenders before the bomb actually commits itself.
My cause I stepped through but you haven't through the long border now you know
That's a nice easy kill
My cause is good. Yes. He's all right
Could be in a phase
Well, I guess you let my cause I could get it
And because I get it if you're gonna lose you might as well life. Oh
Okay, that is an all-you-round that music is just a little test
it's working. Why are you paying attention?
We'll premature that on the music.
Sound guy, it happens to everyone.
Okay, I like it.
Well, this is a...
We'll do a little metagame analysis here,
because what we have now is another tech situation
going to be coming, and Hunter has dropped out again.
I think this is what, a second or third time he's dropped out
as the second half was set to begin.
So, if you're G2 with a 12-5 lead,
you're not worried or anything,
but Hunter, repeatedly dropping out, is not letting you
not letting you get into the swing in the flow of the game, and then Hunter's not getting
into the flow of calling, and you're not getting into the flow of how the T-Side is operating.
So there's a world in which she too gets iced out a little bit, as just the other side
of that is what Yanko mentioned is there's just no more mistakes that Navi have to give
up.
You just have no runway.
Simon?
Could we have the elevator music back?
I want to hear where Dinko and Yanko are when they, where do they visualize
themselves in this music now?
Yanko, what do you think?
Where does this take you?
Where does this music take you?
Close your eyes and imagine.
Where you at?
the hotel at like five seasons ago probably when we were in Malta okay
which one was that that was the first one or the second one second one second one
okay we're probably was born like the marble floor yeah yeah I see okay
think I don't know it's a nice sunny day yeah I mean a pretty cool shopping
district, there's nice cars around, everyone's having a good time, short sunglasses, a lot
of ice cream, and a nice lemonade in the other hand, all my way to get a beer.
Oh, lemonade into a beer.
Yeah, you get a hydrate before you hydrate.
Wow.
Ice cream and beer also, a totally great combination.
Yeah.
Dude, you're just piling all of them.
Definitely not, bro.
That's like toothpaste and orange juice.
I don't know, I've seen some people eat steak with lemons, so it's like whatever
as possible. Yeah, this way, you're crazy.
When we get a lot of mid-space, this feels like another test for the A-defense. It feels a
little crazy. Another test for some pious. He's missed that one. He hasn't missed that one,
and he's going back out behind the big, bold box, and let's see if he's able to get something
done here with Hunter, I'd say, who steps up with the MP7, and actually a wall bang for
Wonderful into the AK follow-up wonderful earning a nice Igor and we've got Matthews trying to win this one 1v3
It's gonna be very tough for him to pull this one off
He's inside the smoke and out he goes to his death. What the hell was that wall bang from wonderful decide? Yeah, that's great
The quick switch as well like insta to the AK gets hunter
Hmm. He knew I was coming he knew those clothes in the gap on I'm gonna go for that slow swing 12 to 6 now
What was the start this comeback?
This is a four was it? Yeah, yeah 12 for just wouldn't that might be relevant eventually it could eventually be relevant
Here he comes
Beautiful beautiful
It's crazy how with Navi like very often you'll see Alexi with like this five six seven kills
And I don't feel like that's the problem
No farmer
But, then again, surely if he had a few more kills here and there it wouldn't hurt.
It's not the problem, but it could be the solution.
Deep.
Hm.
You're gonna clear him.
You're gonna clear him.
And nothing looks better than that sixth kill, does it?
Oh, that feels good.
That's a great-
Damn!
Sheesh!
Poor guy.
Yeah, handy, handy.
Alright, sorry, my bad.
My bad.
That looked better than his sixth kill.
Oh, that looks better than both of them!
The email with a quick transport to the cave players, this one is going to go from 6 to 7.
Alright heavy god, give us one. Nope, picked off.
Well then, Hunter's an elbow so, just gotta take a while before this fight goes down.
Still not worried about the back.
It's not stressed.
Not even slightly.
No.
If Hunter's PC crashes again though?
Yeah, one more crash and one more crash mid round. Yeah, then you're a mid round crash
mid round crash and actually the second time out you would freak saw on the mic
this one I'm playing weakest link and Anne Robinson just said you are the weakest link
okay you're funding a friend who's your friend uh depends what I'm doing like if it's master
mind or something like that like he wants to be millionaire who's like a most general
knowledge of passing I know Henry's done a lot of pub quizzes every this time
like this he retained the knowledge no no no I think I was a pretty good I just
go knows everything that's a lot of general knowledge that's true no I've
old generation like pop culture the 80s not sure and did the what year did the
US leave the gold standard 1960 no no set 72 was under Nixon right I'm calling
yanker i changed my mind yanker it was on the next one but i can't remember i don't know if it's 74 76
76 yeah i think i'm gonna call yanker yanker's got great gold standard knowledge yeah that's just
the kind of question i wouldn't i wouldn't be able to answer that once again yep 71 i'm calling there
There you go.
I think I'd call Harry.
That would just be funny.
Yeah, okay, right.
I would lose for sure.
It would just be funny.
Just get to hear it.
Just giggling down.
Yeah, I just want to hear what comes out.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He wouldn't believe why you were calling him.
I know, it would take me five minutes to get it to convention.
We have 30 seconds, mate.
Come on now.
He wouldn't be playing ball, would he?
That's four CTs in mid.
I wonder how many you saw.
Think of a score.
That will be six to four really come out on top of it at the end of the day
Unlousable
For someone
You stack three players on B does look like they're gonna be walking into this lion's share
Let's go gamble calculate gambler re-aggress they regroup gonna walk down the ramp now
Now he's here to U-Till.
Ooh, Miss Molotov.
With the U-Till.
This is the bomb.
Oh, wonderful.
Loses the bomb.
Awkward now.
Have you got to make it even more so?
Looks like G2 have done enough.
They're in the right place, and they'll find the right result.
A big win.
A big scalp.
Navi, lackluster.
Yeah, been a rough couple of maps for Navi,
and G2 has been able to take in this series
win, convincing on ancient where we thought it was going
a little bit brawly, a little bit back and forth. We didn't quite get that except for between Mikaze and
mobs. That was fun. 13-7 the final score in the favor of G2, and they knocked Navi down to 1-1.
Yeah, I think just a disappointing day for Navi. The way they started the series was so strong.
Coming into the end of the day though, just so many frustrating rounds in that first half.
The double timeout from Blade, it looked like they turned around, should be getting five rounds
out of that first half, but those are the pistols, and they won in the pistol second half.
That's your second opportunity then you lose the follow-up run. You can't convert it
So all the opportunities were there for nobby to actually get themselves into this. You just couldn't take any of them
Yeah, they had some moments they had some things that they gave up for sure
I think more than anything just a very I mean the second map having been so quiet on an
Individual level for nobby was the real head scratcher for me where it was like it was wonderful deliver on some kills and then
Three players below five frags at the end of the map like production just not there behind some of the good ideas
And we're coming back to the problem of their map pool, I mean they lose their map pick in a convincing manner
The the the sider, you know doesn't go
Well for them this time around and that's just been the struggle for Nabi
You know finding that signature map and and just being able to you know put up
Good numbers on the theme for GT was we were talking at the end about the beat disappointed
didn't go through and on stage one had to play the final day of the groups now
the 2-0 and start of stage two with beat phase beaten all these so that's a good
point because that was the that was the final conversation is you see from the
first stage was you better be you better be looking better in the second
stage you better improve one more win you you got them on land and that's
where you really think G2 could have a good go here because we talked already
about fury I won't have fallen the playoffs you don't have Falcons of
vitality here so spirit of like the number one team we're looking at to
win the trophy, but G2 if they start piecing it together going into a LAN team as well
they could definitely be a dark horse for it.
It's important for them for the Major and the VRS, I think they're pretty much a lock
for a spot, it's just about you want to start as deep as possible in stage 2, stage 3 ideally
if you could and they won't be in Rotterdam, they weren't high enough in the rankings
to get an invite for that event, they'll actually be going to one of the Starlighter
tier two lands as well to try and accrue some extra points before the cutoff but a
deep run here it probably would absolutely be massive for G2.
Everyone's just showing up points right now, it seems to be the name of the game.
I think we told them that we would like to talk to Saul.
Oh, okay, we're going to talk to Saul.
Okay, we just got denied.
Who else are we going to talk to?
No one.
From G2?
No one.
We've not talked to everybody, haven't we?
We have, but we can talk to someone in a sec.
Not Malbs.
Not Malbs.
Okay.
Maybe a hunter?
Hunter of some pious.
Hunter of sunny pea.
Red Rover, Red Rover, have GT send them right over.
Whichever one?
Whoever.
What should we ask whoever it is?
I don't know.
What was the game?
Yeah.
Yeah?
How are you feeling?
How are you?
Yeah.
You good?
Are you well?
Yeah.
It's nice?
Those are all bangers.
What else can we do?
We could also ask them.
If it's some pious, we're going to ask them to play it in the dark in Stage 1.
It's playing some light in Stage 2.
Ooh, that's a great one.
That's a really nice one.
Also when he's on fire, does he prefer cream pies or Sampapi?
Yep.
Yeah, sure.
Or maybe a bit of both.
I guess that claims the flames situation, you know,
interchangeable depending on his performance.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
And device together, yeah.
What did you think of the raging head-to-head
between Mikaze and Malphe?
Yeah, that which we all know ended at?
6 to 4.
6 to 4 in favor of?
Mikaze.
Mikaze, I would say.
As we all expect.
Yeah.
Jay, you got that?
He's up.
He's here.
So no longer a blur of raw save seems to be a fact.
Yeah, now we just have to accept it, don't we?
Shit.
Yeah, we're kind of...
What else we got?
Maybe the difference between stage two performance, stage one?
Yeah.
Is there any difference?
Do you feel a difference?
Or is it just that things are clicking a little bit better?
I mean, it could be a lot cleaner than their first day.
It could be a lot cleaner.
I already said, I'm just reiterating at your same point.
Yeah.
Well, very good.
Another day of Constraight down in our shift.
We have one more interview to do.
We're sort of chugging through these days, guys.
What do you do for the rest of the day, Dinkum?
I'm gonna go with you guys to the card store.
Okay. Yeah, you are.
I've bought a box that's too small for you to come.
That happens.
Yeah.
I made a bigger box.
That happens, too.
Yeah.
What's the status on our mate, Sunpias, or...
Away from keyboard?
Away from keyboard.
Maybe we just allow it.
They're afk.
Maybe it's not that important.
Maybe just let them go?
Well, they can't interview them, that's not that.
It's not that important, I don't think.
let's see what we got we can at least uh... can you bring up
okay but buckethead join us can we throw up the schedule for the rest of the
day by chance so we can maybe just uh... chitchat through some of these games
give us a little material to work with buckethead obviously the e-s-c-a next
big caster yes so there was a competition for i'm sure they'll talk
about recovery properly and stuff but uh... there was a competition i think
people voted online
yep uh... people submit clips and what it's quite a story arc from buckethead
i'm sure he'll tell you all the story and that's what i did back
Yeah, Dinko's probably got plenty of advice for him.
Yeah, dude, Buckethead bailed me out in a big way.
Fitty, yeah.
What did he do?
We had a massive tech pause.
I was casting in ESL One New York.
Yes, this is where he was created.
This is where he was created.
This is his origin story.
And someone in the crowd started just collecting buckets
and putting them on his head.
And so we started chanting his name.
I thought, boy, we eat the Buckethead Center,
started chanting his name.
As you do.
And as me and Henry are just stretching,
trying to stay professional and to play off-match, you know, 10 minutes pass, we check in on
Buckethead, 20 minutes pass, we check in on Buckethead, and then eventually, all we
talked about was Buckethead, because that's all we had left.
It's kind of like this right now, you notice how he saved us once again.
Yeah, we were running out of material, we were asking for a schedule, but then Buckethead
popped into our brain.
Nothing to say, and then Buckethead came to bail us out, and he's so good.
You see how often people just look at you, they see you on the stream and they
go, that's a great beard.
Maybe they'll talk about Buckethead.
Is his beard on screen?
No.
No, I think it's you. That's just a bit. I guess I'll keep the beard. Yeah, you should. Thank you
I think you're welcome. I'll just keep growing it Jason. Yeah, just let it let it let it come become like a guru
Have it all the way down here. I don't think that's neccess. I think when you see a beard like that
There are some assumptions that get made very quickly. I want to I want to have my beard in a situation
Where there's no assumptions being made, you know, this is just a normal one
Fair enough good close-up. I like that. Yeah, let's get a real look at it. Thank you. Yeah, get a good show
Beautiful we were talking about Buckethead. I know I had something. Oh, do you think he does he cast his bucket head is his alias bucket?
Yeah, okay. Well, it was kind of given to you by a crowd of people. That's pretty I guess you have to change it after that point
Don't you well, I don't matter what your alias was it? Oh, you have to be one now bucket heads presidential candidate
And did you okay?
We did have a guy that wore a Wellington boot on his head Wellington boot. Yes, you know like what you wear for the rain
You're calling boot head. We didn't he had a fancy name. It was like Wizard of the Pixies or something
You know that's so cool. Yeah, I think parking it was someone running for a local government in the UK from what I was not here
Maybe I'm thinking of him
I'm sorry. I don't think you have count who been face in face in face. You know what fair play
That's really close to Buckethead close enough in face is right there. That's the UK version
Iry Russell was in the studio for a second. He's gonna be joining you next
There is here to count bin face get mentioned and he got a fresh haircut Harry. Hey, I lose kindly
It looks good. Oh, yeah. No, that's a fresh fade. If ever I saw one actually, maybe it was his bid that they were
Complementing they could just sense a good bid was coming hunters ready. Probably hunter ready. I'm back fantastic news. Mr. Hunter for hello, sir
You are guys. How you doing, man?
You feeling good after that win that but that that looked like it was a feel-good win at the end there
It was it was especially after this last two that was terrible from us
we bounced back on Mirage and especially on Ancient, I think we played really well CS.
Well, can you talk to me the difference that we kind of ended you with you guys on stage one
and our conversation was sort of like these guys better look better in stage two. Does it feel
like you're playing better in these past two games to start out the stage than you were last week?
I'm not sure to be honest what to say because we play the games that we don't play usually
and I'm not saying they are bad but they're playing some specific CS and they were shooting
really hard, all the teams that we lost against and that we played against in this first stage.
And they showed it as well, some of them already in Stage 2 that they can be really good.
So yeah, it's not easy to play against those kind of teams, but I think we are mentally
just a bit better in Stage 2 because nobody's expecting us kind of, not nobody, but it's
not like you need to win, you must win against Navi and against FaZe.
And then it's a bit less pressure as well overall, and yeah, there's a bit of everything
I would say, but we are better.
I'm wondering where you're playing from because you know like do you have the screaming kids in
the background or did you hide away to another place to to play the games?
Well I'm playing at my apartment but they are with my parents, my kids, so it's only my wife in here
but yeah I'm in my apartment. Full focus yeah that's gonna say yeah. Full focus. Exactly after
stage one he realized. Yeah I've got work to do, work to focus on absolutely. You had a
a couple of connection issues there as well. That didn't bother you. I would immediately,
the second I get disconnected, and it's like a game we're in the lead of, you know, be worried
about that taking momentum away from the boys, but didn't look like it affected you guys
mentally whatsoever. So that's nice. Is that something that was even crossing your mind?
You and the guy that would get tilted from a random DC?
I was tilted because we had the momentum at all of the times. Like when I was having
ping it was going up to 150 and it was really hard to place and then to put the
technical and yeah it never happened I don't know why somebody's did a single
or something you don't want us to win it's your kid sure but yeah of course it's
bothering when you're having a big lead and good momentum yeah no it was a
fantastic game for you guys and we'll let you go but thank you for taking time
to sit down with us congratulations on the big win thank you guys have a nice
See about YouTube. He's a lovely fella. He's a good one. He's the best. He's a great dude.
You're still never gonna see the inside of that apartment? Not once. Sorry.
All right, well, we're gonna go buy some cardboard. You should stay tuned. We've got
Miles versus Strahles up next on the team. Who you having? I'm taking Strahles.
Yeah, I'm going to Strahles too. Miles. That's Strahles.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

This is ESL Pearl League Season 23 and I'm Trey Saranthus.
You might know me as Stanna.
The sun's directly my eye, so I'm gonna squint one and tell you that we're leaving Hamburg
today.
I'm going right back to the studio.
We're gonna report some of the findings we found here on the ground in Hamburg at the
Malz HQ.
But before we do any of that, somebody is gonna tell me something about Counter-Strike
around here.
Let's try it.
Hi.
Hey, you guys know anything about Counter-Strike?
About what?
Counter-Strike?
I do know about Counter-Strike.
I've never played it.
Never played it?
Fun game.
You play any other games?
I never really did.
Unfortunately, Assassin's Creed, but if I told you those guys right there across the street were superstars, would you believe me?
I would I would absolutely yes full professional Counter-Strike team
Mousesports even nice are they sponsored? Oh, yeah, they're actually they own the store or the the building right over there
It's by the Nike store. Do you guys go back that way? That's their home. Anyway, here they come
Have a good day you too. Have a nice day and fun play. That's the plan. All right speaking of those guys
Ah yeah! Good morning everybody! Welcome back! How'd you sleep Jimmy?
I slept amazing. Where are you guys going now? Drink.
All right, sweet. Have one for me? I got you. Thanks pal.
Hey guys, anything about video games? Counter-Strike? Nope. Target acquired.
Oh my God.
Talk to me about MouseForce.
What do you know about Mouse?
I love MouseForce.
I follow CS all the time.
Yeah.
Even Hamburg.
Yeah.
Have you been to their office?
It's like right over there.
I've seen it though.
Yeah.
They did a watch party last night for ESL Parley.
Nice.
Cool.
Where are you from?
New York.
I live here though.
Something sounds a little different there.
I wasn't sure what it is.
I can understand you much clearer.
You know, it's weird.
All the events watch you all the time.
You guys are the best.
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
What brings you to Hamburg?
Her mom.
So, who's your favorite team and what player do you want to send a message to?
I guess Spear, I want to see Donkwin, some events.
Yeah, I mean I love mouse sports but...
I like my thoughts that way.
Yeah, I mean I just want to see him left.
I'm tired of Vitality winning everything.
Preach, brother.
Preach, tell me about the new Inferno update, have you seen it?
I played yesterday but I didn't notice much difference.
But I was playing D so...
Like I said, hey thank you very much, have a good time.
See ya.
I told you I told you people know about counter strike out here get out of my face
ESL presents the ESL pro league in partnership with
Intel
Acer Predator
DHL
So
And Jax
My real name is Donnie Higgins. I go by Buckethead in the Counter Strike community because in
2019 at ESL One New York I put a bunch of buckets on my head and it got out of hand
I can't believe it. It's wild. He's got a cult following already
No, but let's bring it back down to Earth for one second.
There is simply one map left for Astralis to redeem themselves,
but that also means we get more buckets than that guy's in it.
Yeah, there's a whole more map of buckets.
Or if we go a few more maps down the track, let's see how many we can get.
I think I like this better than the Shoei.
The fact that he's got a Renegade shirt on really does make the whole outfit.
You know what I mean?
It just cements it all.
Yeah, the seat to start is a great place for them to be starting.
At this point, Chad, I feel like there's not much more to talk about.
That's all right. Let's see how many buckets we can get.
The train is off the track since that is a arena.
Yes, it is.
Channel all of your buckets inward to this young man.
And we're going to channel our buckets as best as we possibly can.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we've got our talks to about the 8G3 buckets in spots right now.
This is unbelievable. Keep the bucket to the bucket!
To the bucket!
The buckets keep coming in!
This is unprecedented!
We haven't seen one of these in years!
Oh my goodness!
This is a new live record!
Don't get us on the phone!
We're getting the experts on the line right now!
This is it! That's the one record!
That's the one! That's the one!
I don't know if we have the stability
at the structure of the course!
Hold it on! Hold on!
What a time to be alive, gentlemen!
Let's blow my mind!
I was there! You were there!
Dude, I remember you hold that whole thing.
You were commentating.
I didn't even know I was in the room.
Yeah!
What the fuck?
Hey, Buckethead.
Wake up, Buckethead.
I'm the rest of the room right now.
I was there, too, guys.
Hey!
Hey!
How many buckets were on your head?
I believe it was 58 total.
I still have them next to my computer.
They sit with me every time I play.
58 buckets, though?
Oh, no, I don't bring them with me.
Oh!
But I have them at my computer.
We need to get some buckets.
How are you getting 58 buckets on a plane, Hugo?
Think about that in logistics.
He did it?
Oh, maybe not on a plane.
No, I know.
I drove home
It was 2019
It was a long time ago to be fair. Donnie how old were you in 2019 17? Oh, yeah come a long way
I mean we really have so that would make you now. What 23?
Jeez, how did you get here? You won the ESEA?
Master challenge. Asked a challenge. Thanks big caster. So how much have you been commentating since then a decent bit
I mean, I do a lot of the local stuff in NA love to events and then I just do whatever challenge your games
You have a guy commentator partner duo. I do shout out all in gaming 23 Anthony. He's the love of my life
Oh, yeah, okay, cool. Awesome. Dude. Wish he was here. All right. Well, well, we maybe we can fly him in Harry
Can we take your day right and fly him in?
Okay. Yeah. All right, you can go talk to King and get that sorted. Yeah. Oh perfect. No, no stay
For people who are unaware's Buckethead joining us here today
He's gonna be part of our shift for the next two days. Well, I don't know that sounds like the early crew are talking shit about the fun
With a fun a bunch. I don't know. I listened to that first shift. Yeah, jury's out
I don't know. He look buckethead's been a bit of a spy for the late crew. He's been reporting in on the early
That is at the hotel. They were saying if you got to call yourself before much not that one
We're not a war with the other crew, but we
We are in a way.
Let's start it right?
We have written it this time.
There was a war between late and early shift.
It ended in the whole Sung God song.
Oh yeah.
I forgot about that as well.
Yeah.
Keep forgetting every can.
My brain is stuck.
I don't know how I seem to improve that dude.
Memory stack.
Oh my.
I just have to give you like any lyric from that song and you'll remember it.
That's true.
You were born in the darkness.
I was born in the darkness.
Fly goes the highest.
The flow stays the sharpest.
That's correct.
I meet the pan.
I smoke it again.
It's Tuesday and then I shift out here while there is a segment here.
I can already tell you guys we're playing that song on the half time.
Bucket is coming in.
2BO3s, 2BO3s tomorrow, and then we send you back to New York.
Yes, New Jersey.
OK, well, we're looking forward to having you.
What's your playstyle?
Your play-by-play commentator?
Color commentator?
What would you say, your kind of hybrid?
Just kind of mix around, you know, OK?
Very much like I just go with the flow type of thing.
Do what I do, do you get it?
Oh!
Ah, you do that sort of stuff?
I can't do a good...
I want to hear it today then, bro.
Oh, let's send it.
Let's give it the beans today.
I want to hear it.
So, we're going to scab back to a trycast of this one, because I think Hugo and I can
be a bit of a worm.
Five might be too much.
I think so.
So, we're going to have Henry G, Harry, and Buckethead.
Pentecost.
Shoot an arrow.
That's as fun as it might be.
Could get a bit out of control.
But we have Mounds vs. Trolls here as our first game.
Good weapons, I can see.
Yeah.
Riyu or Raiu?
Well, the jury's out on that one.
Riyu.
It's a curious decided
Have you casted the top teams in the world? I was a best kind of match you've casted
Okay, so top of you teams not yet you had that big foot you had the big fanatic one right? Oh, you know
Okay
on time good maps today as well ancient mirage nice and brawly have some good
play-by-play going on with these ones and a mouse back in the HQ they are the
four of them are yes oh we're doing the same thing again yeah yeah same thing okay
there were some people in the internet not happy with how we spoke about the
fans in the venue I don't I really don't really get it I think we're pretty
nice we're joking about I think we're joking about it being like a zoo yeah but
that's more that's not yeah that's about the players yeah well one thing we
We know around here we upset the internet every time we open our mouths.
That's okay.
Hamburg one time.
It's time to get things underway.
Shugan, I will leave you in the comfortable hands of Mr Buckethead.
Comfortable?
Yeah, comfortable.
Comfortable.
He's got big hands, but comfortable hands, right?
There's plenty of hands going around here.
All right, boys, take it away.
Okay, hey, why don't you give us a nice little intro here, bro?
All right.
Third game of the seventh day, Mous vs. Strahler, starting off on ancient.
Mous on the CT side.
We're going to get an early start into this.
If I'm not mistaken this is the upper bracket teams that are one. Oh, yes. Yeah, Astralis actually had a great resort against foot yesterday
Yes, mouse just about got through their game two to one. We'll see what they're having favorites
It goes about saying I think everyone's expecting us to take this one comfortably
But we'll see how it goes. I'm on the glasses on you. Who is gonna be fracking Harry? Let me know
Very very quick B pop that's quickly forgotten about mouse convincing stuff in the pistol
Torsche with three I love to see it. Oh, you do love to see that. He's your favorite player, right on mouse
That's enough I'll take you yeah
So a little be rush no bomb planted that might be the game, but we'll see there's not gonna be a force by here
That's for sure
Very comfortable
Not really much to break down there. No, it was just kind of domination
pure domination pure ponage
Alright, full eco. Harry? Yeah. We've got to dig deep some material here. Full eco.
What have you got for me? Donny Cags? I don't know any jokes yet. No, okay. We're working
on it. We kind of warm into them, right? Fuck yeah. What's your actual name? Is Donny,
right? Donny, yes. Not Donald. Just Donny. Just Donny. Donny. Yeah. What's your second
name? Well, what does it begin with? You know the docs yourself? H, D, H. So you
be Donnie D. Donnie D. Sure. Okay. Donnie D works. I like that energy. Donnie D. Oh, chemistry.
I assume that's something there. What I'm going to say is I like the Buckethead brand.
Just difficult to make that a commentary brand, maybe. Yeah, you know, it's a lot different
to get a headset on your head compared to a bunch of pop. When I went home from that
event, like, you know, the popcorn buckets were full of popcorn beforehand. So like
my face is grease over in Greece.
I was a short kind of back as it were.
Popcorn buckets, greasy salty experience.
It was disgusting.
My neck hurt so bad for the next week because it was heavy.
Would you say that experience inspired you to become a commentator?
You're like, okay, I love the attention, the limelight.
I want to get involved in this.
Would you say you always were looking to do this sort of thing in the future?
So, before that, I used to cast my friend's ESEA Games back when he was in like Maine in advance.
Um, and then bucket had happened, COVID happened.
So I had to like, you know, go into the real world, get a job and try to do all that.
But then when I went to Cologne in 2024 and I got to meet you guys, everything that was
what really set it off, especially with Dorf Mike, he gave me a lot of the directions
of where to go.
And somehow I ended up here.
Wow.
Somehow right now we're going into a rush.
Let's see what happens here.
The driver's changing at the pace, AK-47s in hand,
full eco in the previous, but looking very comfortable here.
Great space taken, but a lovely smoke pop and jib back.
He's one of the top ready players in the tournament so far.
GVP is back, boys.
There's also a whole standoff going down
in mid between exertion and stare.
Right now you were a man up in the retail.
You might feel like you wanted to force that fight
on a stare, but they're just gonna group in donut,
look to isolate the three guys they know
are in the site in front of them.
You see Maus go for a lot of saves in situations like this, so they're gonna give this one a try.
Zershin, nice entry kill. Hop up.
The rest of the CK Force has to push.
Smokes down to the side, Yabi, nice spray.
Two more kills need to be found. Yabi, another one.
Oh, that's tough.
That's gonna be a beautiful headshot. That's gonna leave Jimmy all by himself running away, saving his life, saving that M4.
Good recollection from Astralis.
Yabi has made his presence known there, a quad kill, he goes down with the shit, but his job is done, two to one, changing things up, that A rush, mouseball's not ready for it.
Would be a serious bit of X factor if this is a big Yabi game, because it's been a long while since I've had one of them.
I think that's a very astute observation, Mr Russell. What happened to Yabi?
He was great at one point.
He was so good at rolling things.
We know he's strong.
Let's see if he can keep this up.
I mean, this is the strongest line.
It looks like it has a decent bit of protection.
Oh, dude.
We're Fuzi on this one.
And Fuzi.
I saw a lot of Fuzi on Wildcard.
Yeah.
Fantastic player.
Yeah.
He's one of my favorite OrpAs right now.
Such a great replacement for Device.
Speaking of Operators, he first gets tested.
Beautiful shot and a little bit of a flick.
quite able to land so he has to fall back and see a little bit of space on that
bomb site that Charles do look to try to make their way up, spring spray down, the
defense is gone and the bombs seem to be planted. This one is still on somewhat sure
it's the man advantage of Mars but look at that we take the situation here you've got
little to no utility we have got shots through the smoke. Torgy steals one
away four on two now should be a comfortable finish unless the aforementioned
foods he can step up and show us what he's got.
How long are they going to wait for Jimmy as well?
He's on this big flank but he's trying to do it quietly.
He'll confirm the ramp's clear but it's down to the others to get a move on.
Trying to spray.
He's attacked down low Ryu.
Maggazite sprays out one. Not able to connect on to exertion so...
There's only one left and with little H we can do this.
Time's right to the smoke.
So...
Barely enough time exertion.
Keeps it calm.
It is calm. I feel like it's cool to play in the HQ, but it's definitely like it takes him some time to get warmed up
We sort of on dust to yesterday. They had like an 8-4 lead with that amazing
Georgie clutch and they kind of put the first map away, but then they got things together
Kansas drawless. I don't see them dropping a map today, Harry
I
Don't know if I show that really group stages at EPA and I was a drop in a map
Yeah, this would be the game to do it in okay. Astralis looks sharp man. I agree
And I don't know, I think like other thing for Maus is just as we've seen like the the map pool changes have hurt this team
I think this is gonna be a hard year for them. Oh
First time
You know, I think it's going to be a tough year for Maus in a way they they have to get their dust up to snuff
That's why while the fall apart yesterday wasn't crazy like out of the picture
It's always been a bit of a hit or miss map for him
It's one that they have to get better on with the changes with the new bus coming in
Okay, what's your vision like? Can you read yours correctly?
Oh, I see, great. My contacts in today were good.
Okay, perfect. That's what it makes you, you're going to have to sleep.
This is not a traditional casting setup.
No, this is actually exactly what I'm used to.
It's beautiful, speaking of beautiful.
Real nice way to help in, but quickly dispatched up,
and that's one of the two AKs out for the tease of the round already.
This is a full investment it is, so we've got the Degos and the AK,
they have got Jimmy down, but give it to us, Spinks, to start play out.
No problem whatsoever, the Deagle Drive by as well pays dividends and looks like that's
enough stare, strong position watching the flanks, watching the extremities, I don't
think you justify going for this, hold on to the AWP in the AK, the money's not amazing
on the seat of San Evo, so Zershin will give it a little look in, hit the rod in
the water, but overall round over.
Nice kill through the smoke there, at least get one of the rifles out.
So, the rounds have been successful so far. A rush, B rush.
Let's keep doing that, I reckon.
Just keep rushing.
To be fair, I hooks he does love it when there's something working here, we will B execute every single round.
If it's working, he'll keep doing it.
That Y fix was not broke.
Oh, I just got him off guard with the change of pace.
But surely, I had just more handouts in earlier.
That sounds like a technical issue in the chance.
No, tactical issue.
Absolutely issue. Oh interesting
It's fairly right you started hemorrhage some rounds starting to run out of money money's hitting a little bit precarious for sure
Do we have trace in the HQ today? How is it just just the boys?
Tenant GPS off. Okay. Okay. I can't track it. Okay. Okay. I just got word of my yeah
He's no, yeah all that I should say he's neither here nor there exactly he's in transition right now
but here we go the buy has come through a couple of Famous's purchase we've got an
AK and the saved orp 6 to 1 for Torgy and a fantastic tournament but as I
mentioned earlier Jim Fats has been playing above expectations I would say
at one point the most promising rookie in all of Counter-Strike kind of fell
off the last six months but courtesy and back to his winning ways a strong
form. If Jimmy's doing good, I mean, Mouse is doing good.
Oh, yeah, for sure. It's a good fact for them to try to push forward to break the
nerds that they've had. And he's in form and he can slough down a
bomb site by himself. Primarily B bomb site. It's like, it's a thing of beauty.
All right, then. We are going to slow things right down.
The rush is this time going to be focusing their efforts towards the cave.
Brawler on the cave, man. Stepping up.
Ooh, tagged down to one.
Trying to fall back, Bozy.
Aggressive with the spray, not able to land.
His Brawling's tucked nice in that corner.
Toursy does open up the round, however.
Shot on Hoocsy on the ramp.
This is a huge round for both teams here.
Starr is trying to establish that T-Sat economy.
Mal's trying to hold onto theirs.
Five on three.
One HP brawl on him for right back into the B sites allowing the T's to have mid control
You can't plan that mate. So that's all good smoke them off
And brought that clock
Yeah, this is a great defensive setup everyone's playing so far back although stair might
All you can really do is go over the walks
But yeah, you have to make some sort of an unexpected play you know Zerzh is getting at least one
That's what you're playing for right now one and done positions
Double that was beautiful holy
So five players survive
Money-looking very strong. It's at the time out apparently working out very well for them
upgrading one of those famuses to an AK and
Harry what's the money-looking like report in what we got? It's not good
Who sees got money, but no one else does you ain't got no kills that rose zero five. Yeah, who's he?
Yeah, no worries, Sim. Fizzy's had a couple of these slow starts.
Yeah, let's fuck. Oh, the torch is bringing some good energy.
Bringing that heat.
Full deluxe on the 7th round.
Doesn't feel good, does it?
Yeah.
So, wave at the initial utility.
Trying at a bomb plant, that's really at the very top end of this sort of round.
And as well play their nades out so the rush has worked in the past me this contact
I think next round you're gonna see a hooksy rush. That's that's the call
I'd be making as I'll add to the only rounds of winning is when we full send it
It's gonna be five to all day long
They can get at least one kill on the plant that would be actually
Quite good. We'll see if that happens Jimmy though continuing that strong form. Oh is them all down
Looking for the ace, Torgie should deny it, but that's comfortable.
Manny's gonna start swelling now on the CT side.
Jimmy wants it to push in, spray down.
Oh, come on.
That's not cool, Xerion.
Listen, Enneco ace is an ace, nonetheless.
That's my stuff that you would take that.
Do you play much CS yourself?
Oh, I love playing CS.
Am I good at CS?
Okay, that's good to ask.
Like, do you face it or Premier?
What was your...
Face it, Premier.
Yeah, okay.
What are you lower talking?
I don't want to talk about that.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Face it, I'm sitting at a solid level 8.
Nice.
So you know what?
That's better than terrible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot worse than good.
Okay.
That's it.
One day.
Woo!
As busy.
He enters the server finally.
Nice.
And I mean a good play to find the exertion.
Not afraid to get stuck in in these rounds.
So you deal with him early.
get stuck in in these rounds. So you deal with him early, bit of re-aggression out towards
lane.
Ooh, I don't think you have yourself a problem there. Barely escaped through that smoke.
At a strong angle because you're not going to be ready to clear this. A lot of sprays
down. Smoke out towards the door, try to upgrade that rifle, get out. You got the
kill. Very nicely done.
Bit of a pause here. Chance to posture on the map, consider your options. You still
have a wealth of utility. We're going to see smokes, couple of molotovs in the mix, turns
map control though, almost nothing. Middle is not theirs. Or into the one minute mark
as well. Torgy established towards middle. Aggressive angle.
The time of him being able to see is running out. So you're going to see him leave surely.
They haven't had lane for a long time. Yeah, he's brave right now. He's going
to get one for free.
That's such a crazy maneuver. There's hopefully no one peeks from heaven, but
gets away with it i think that's where if anything like the hoax you smoke online
lane gave it away that they didn't you know go and take that space by a ride
and they are rotations coming over this is beautifully read by mouse brolin's gonna have
to get more than one hopefully first one's good a little trying to connect not quite able to so
straws has to explode out into the site smoking short molly towards long off broken open space
with a beautiful timing that's all she wrote in round eight absolutely sphinx is looked in sublime
inform this tournament. Him and Jim Fat especially, like they look so strong right now. If you're
not aware, if you're a new viewer, mouse sports kind of, EPL is kind of their thing. They
love to win this tournament, they always seem to make it to grand finals. Without vitality
here as well, you feel like it's up for a conversation. They could be winning this
tournament, surely.
Yeah, they should very much be in a conversation. I think also it'd be nice for them,
like you think you would anticipate like if you were going to look at a final, I
I think Spirit Maus could feel pretty likely and that would be a rematch from Cologne.
Okay, that's a great story.
Okay, it's getting a bit rough up there for Astralis now.
Lots of eco so far, full eco's at that as well.
You got pistols, no Kevlar once again, the money's a nightmare to handle.
So Jimmy P, Torgy, everyone firing on all cylinders right now.
Another brutal shutdown, about to say a clean sweep, but at least Yabi will take one to the grave with him.
That's towards you going down, but it looks like it's all fine to hold on to the AK-47.
The money is looking way too good for them right now.
A few rounds to go, tactical timeout.
Let's get a vibe check.
What can we see from the cameras here back here?
What do you know to see?
What's the energy look?
Oh, not good.
I'll tell you that much.
I mean, yeah.
Better than usual, I would say.
Yeah, he's actually looking pretty okay in this situation.
He's playing good individually.
Okay, yeah.
Usually, he's looking stressed because they're winning, but he's like one and nine.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Dude, I don't know. I'm a little nervous here for Australis because okay, we heard that comes from stage one
There was some tension from this team. They were that there was complaints of whining from Hoocsi
Yeah, she was frustrated with the others for not outputting what they're supposed to for miss smokes miss utile
That's true. I forgot about that whole thing. That's like right now, bro
Hoocsi struggling but also a lot of like stare absent foosie non-factor like these are usual pieces that are showing up for him
They just aren't in the toolkit right now
And it's your map pick as well.
Yeah!
Like I said, maybe go back to the Russians boys.
You're getting picked off one by one.
No real advantages, no real map control.
I mean now the ones are taking charge of the game.
They've come through main aggression in this round.
They've got Jimmy pushed all the way through A main, ready to commit to a backstab.
That's a problem that Astralis aren't even aware of,
but that's going to play into the round a little bit later.
Ooh, okay, I'm a shot.
Chance, yep.
All out taking heavy damage as well.
In-game leaders clash
We see brought down really low a space maintained for a straws. Yeah true
And I was just thinking about it. This game is like a hate watchers dream, you know, I
Guess like a straw is that kind of turned it around though. It's only true. You might have hate they get
It's a lot of they kind of want to see like people like Fuzzi. I think a lot
I'm like story. I actually think that's true. Yeah, I also think people hate watching now as they don't hate watch
Now what I mean like that
You're doing it. Yeah, the effect of it the other end. I think it's just become a thing that's got out of control now
But yeah, you're right
That's that looks like all this beautiful setup and brolin's supposed to go down there, but he still just gets to
They're the bait and switch ready to go version deep into what's if he spawned or she will take the aggro once again
Beautiful teamwork on display here
We got a four on two. Oh, see you later kid
Boosie can't get going here. It's all real. Does he stand a chance in the three-on-one?
No, yeah, I think that's this is a quick first half. All right, maybe another tactical time
I've required here to be honest with you
At this point you have to get something. Yeah, you rounds is not gonna be enough. You need
these last couple man
But at the same time, I mean the money isn't amazing for Astralis
They knew the half way does look like I'm kind of worried that like this would be the tiny try a rush
But if you try go and beat or she's got a great spawn that'll be posted on long with the orp if he wants to he's gonna take a temple
It's alright little a place something pace here, right? You've any got tech nines or she sees the utile coming
He knows that this guy's in Maine
That's his
Oh dear oh dear
The fake doesn't even catch him out. I mean the aggression
The outside of be completely stumps the straws for the time being sure there's a trade bag
He is on the board, but he's gonna have to do more than just one kill
Especially as his teammate falls. It's still all downhill for a strong. That's the confidence right there. You know
Yes, I'm zero now. You think I'm not gonna slayer at least I've got a chance to actually have some impact
He just want to get that first kill off the board
It's gonna be a tech pause and the final round that was the half by no plant down the money still decent
You have the Fuzi AWP, but he's one in 10. Yeah, and he's a player on Astralis
I can't go missing especially missing much. Yeah, I guess like he hasn't been in any prime positions to really do much
It seems like it seemed to get picked up before even as a chance
He hasn't had the orb too many of the rounds
But again just to reiterate the point the only rounds they picked up so far the a rush in the third round and the B
Rush I think in the sixth round that that was it
They haven't attempted those sort of ideas since then Henry. It's your favorite another integrity Camisha. Oh, dear. Oh dear
Who is it this time?
It's for you.
Okay.
Let's see what it looks like.
If he's using duct tape, I'm out.
You know what?
Duct tape is the least attempting a solution.
I suppose you're right.
But I heard more from Jackson today.
He was telling me, as they use their phones as the integrity camera, they get the overheat.
Yeah.
I guess if two phones in 2026 overheat, I didn't know that was the case.
Well, maybe not your phone.
We all know the OnePlus 15.
Yeah.
One plus 15, yeah.
That is a hell of a phone.
Get yourself one of those.
Okay, what kind of phone you got, bro?
iPhone.
That's the first iPhone we've had
True. Yeah, no iPhones are very popular around now. I think Fred's got an iPhone
We're just different guys. Sorry. Yeah, just kind of built it. We love androids around here. We do like the Android OS
Shout out to Google if they watch it
Hit us up
So, you know who you guys have as your favorite for this event, you know
Because I feel like there's a lot of hype around Fiora.
Obviously, we know that if they make playoffs fall and we'll get out of the conversation, I would say.
Is it mountain spirit has to be spirit?
I would say like spirit, having the two convincing with the roster.
But I think they're going to make the grand final for sure.
Yeah.
Mouse, I think mouse should like if you're going to make a point,
this is like a statement tournament for the mouse should be winning this tournament.
They know like they need to break this car, so stop getting the playoffs.
Not doing much else.
Well, I mean, it's a good way to break the curse when you're having such a competent performance like that, Jimmy.
Opening kill onto mid, the rest of the Strahls try to push up to be ramped.
Beautiful kill to open up the site, and there's no one there to defend it immediately, except for Brolin in the cave.
Missed the timing, so site secured for Strahls.
Bomb plant is going to go down, and now a real chance to actually put a third on the board.
Here we go, Dan.
I'm worried that Fuzi is going to continue a rough showing by getting shot in the back here.
The last thing you expect is Torsche on a huge T spawn wraparound, doesn't even need Torsche to get involved, he's missed the shot on exertion.
And so the retake is well and truly on here in the final round of the half.
4 on 3.
Ixecnate's throwing in.
He goes down.
Push needs to come in, time is ticking away, oopsie another kill but all the kills fall.
The CT's Ryu doubles up, almost collects the third, but enough time has passed and Astralis,
although Ruff starts at half able to get that third round on the board and as we come back from Breakthrough, need a lot more than that.
When the night's gone and the day comes, we up, we up, when they're all gone and the
We are, we are, when the clock stops and the light drops
We are, we are, when the time comes for the sun gods

Word, something you could never be, not even in your wildest dreams
Just a bunch of walking memes, you know hold up, wait a second, stop the beat
You want me on my fucking night shift?
Nah, they ain't on that team, nah you can't just get those rings
They ain't only through the things, just trying to spread them wings
Let's get it trending man, nah y'all be pretending man
But for me it's like twenty-twenty-
Well, the first half of play was not exactly what Astralis wanted, three of their players
really struggling and they didn't really have much of a lead way to go into the second half,
but they did secure the last.
I mean, three will do.
Three is enough.
To your mark, I feel like Harry is at least serviceable.
It's better than none.
Trying to spin some positive narratives today.
Dude, I just don't know.
Like, you need that round that kind of gets foozy by the ride, you know?
If it doesn't come soon, you're going to run out of time.
It could be right here, right now.
You never know.
That's the beauty of Counter-Strike.
Decoy going in towards middle, and the bomb going towards the B lane.
Looks like we're going to be approaching towards middle,
but we have got multiple CTs in towards the donut area.
Stare to take first.
Blood looking for multiple kills.
Jabby will join him, and it's going to be a pretty decent start here.
They need to win this pistol, and it's looking very promising so far.
Is this Fuzi's round?
Hey, you know what?
It might be. It's definitely Astralis' round.
Because there's only two players in Aslef, Spinks trying to fight towards Elbow.
Tapping away with the Glock, not too much avail.
It's kind of the EPL curse though.
Five on two, seemed to fall apart quite quickly.
We'll see what happens here.
This is the start of it.
There we go. Nice.
Who's he?
That is round, Harry.
The limelight shining on him. He loves it.
Spinks lost the live, you'll notice.
Bondi 4.
It's contained Fuzi with a big 3k to put that pistol on the board a must win round and Fuzi
does the bulk of the heavy lifting.
I'm very happy with that.
Now we've got a game of that.
Yeah, exactly.
And we had no bomb plan.
So we're assuming they put a bit of a gimmie here going to the next one.
It'll sort of a stair.
I don't think we've mentioned his name once either.
This entire map.
Stair has not done much.
Not that anyone really has, but he's at the 2 in 11 now.
Stability of the economy I
Mean considering the events of the first half. Yeah, he does look in pretty good form
Yeah, it's having a pretty good map still negative
But mostly because of just the team not really being able to break through
See if you can find
Better stability here to be reused with the things out the empty seven very involved right now
Be nine or chime in as well. That's what they need it's no one going down
That's gonna be a ton of cash farmed up those SMGs
You might even get a justify bringing out a WP. I was gonna say like get rid of one of those SMG's
So they've got in there up their sleeve
That was a good round for Hoocseam stair to all three players of Astralis that weren't online once probably activated. Yeah
So gonna keep on the SMGs upgrades here gonna take a bit of a bonus rounds
See if they can stick the landing
Flashbangs set up by Torji towards middle.
You're running a bit of a bonus here, so expect to see some aggression.
You've got that 3B star, so maybe looking to scrap for Lane in the mid-round.
They've smoked the double doors, and there's that pushdown ramp, but Maus are away from it, right?
You're doing all this over towards B. It's where the bulkier resources are.
But this is about to be an A-play, boys.
Like, Astralis, they're gonna have the info ahead of time.
They're bringing Hoopsy back around.
Maus are ready to move in.
Shadow spotted, Fuzi drops down.
M4 not able to even fire a bullet before Roland takes care of him.
SMG hateful to somehow find more than one!
Even Steven as we head into the bombsite take.
Hooks in close range with MP9.
Not scared to push, but although exertion,
he's able to crack it open a little bit.
Yeah, dude, I did not inspect him to get two there with the MP7.
Keeps the dream alive at least, but...
It's down the stair now.
He was at the playing field, we go to a two on two.
I meant it remaining and you've got a look at the HP here, Spinks, Zershin, very low indeed.
They have no utility between the two of them.
This comes down to raw aim and game sense here.
Can they trade out effectively?
Can they sow the seeds of doubts into the minds of Astralis here?
And they'll be both be playing the buddy system, Harry.
Both of them staying together, staying strong.
Giving up the bomb.
True.
The unexpected player, I suppose.
I mean, you've whittled down where they are, right?
You should really know it's main now.
You've got to clear mid, only leaves one position left.
And so, you're ready for this fight.
Exertion's definitely not stare able to collect with the FAMASA now.
It's only up to Spinks.
No chance to do this, but it's going to have to come in quick sprang.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Spatches him quickly, gentlemen.
We do have a game on our hands.
We absolutely do, no plant once again.
My advantage there is Yabi actually saving the day.
They lost the first two kills.
The MP7 comes into play, like I mentioned, a very meta weapon right now.
It's a beautiful double, brings around back to life, and stare to close things out.
The beast has been awoken, the dames are online, and we've got a partial buy here for Mouse.
That lost bonus accumulating, so we've got Technines, P250 for Torgy, and execution potential here as well.
Plethora of utility, plenty of smokes, and it's going to be Roland trying to make his way back into that cave.
It's actually got a bit of space here.
Yeah, I mean, Mastraws has to know the potential of this.
It does spot him out.
But she's going to be a fast hit onto B. Maybe these pieces are able to overwhelm
the hooks in the back side.
They're going to collect three, make it four!
What an ace!
What an HP to end it as well!
Dude, is Hooksy back?
That was massive.
Chad, are we back?
We might be.
I mean, that was...
It was the last time you saw a Hooksy ace.
I don't think I ever have.
TENSILY!
It's actually the first time here.
There's a really clean one as well.
Yeah, really nice to redirect towards Ram to collect those last three kills as well.
Yeah, dude. That's such an important round.
You've maintained the money once again.
You get all five players alive.
You denied the plan.
And it's a two-round game. All of a sudden, Astralis...
I've lost.
Stare, but still, it's going much better than the first half.
That's for sure.
We'll fight back here with an advantage for miles at least for now hiding out of the smoke
Jimmy trying to sniff the mouse gonna be yabby once again trying to keep the dream alive, but the Glock will come out on top
Fuzi is this his moment is this his time to shine?
That's gonna be a really difficult time to shine if he does want to I mean
The aggression out from mid from Astralis definitely a bit of a heat check as they start to do this comeback
Won't say it's impossible for foes. He however he does
have a chance maybe if Spinks gets a little over-aggressive.
Also, Torsie's coming with a bomb as well.
There's always a chance. Yeah, not rushing this one. Taking their sweet time, establishing control.
You can afford to let Brawland throw in a scouting session here. Yeah, just to get there until,
if he does go down, they're ready to pounce in towards A through a down-up. And he's
actually timed it to perfection. He's not going to catch food, I don't think, but...
You should clue this.
Oh, there's the eagle we're calling the batsman to be right now. And you're right, he's going
to clear up this fight.
There was a world record, that's weird. But they do find their first up the second half.
Replays survive here, but as we mentioned, the money's absolutely fine for Astralis.
They have not been reset. Some very clean rounds, some good anti-ecos. They managed
to get themselves a nice strong buy here. We've got a tactical timeout for Mouse.
You know, I do fear we're going to see more of the same that we saw in the
first half once mouse does collect their money and have their bearings all set so
I mean this is really gonna be the round of strength to show who will push it
further into this first map what is the lead map to his mirage it is that's the
pick of mouse yes
Spinks just getting stronger and stronger series goes off one of the
masses of middle. Get some self-threat.
I kind of wonder if that round scares Astralis a little out of trying the aggressive moves
early. It's a frustrating round to give away, right? You were kind of picking up some steam,
but suddenly that pressure's back. If you lose this one, money's in a bit of a weird
spot on the majority of the Astralis roster. And so they'll stray away from mid, not
liking those midfights instead looking to go back to the lane control that means
you're fighting spanks
I would have helped along they're really bad shots of miss there I mean
easy's to pull off but it could have put in steam in a very good position stare
pushing down the ramp maybe you could do enough to push a straw slower just a
little bit further I love that from stat
he really has risen to the occasion in the second half
very quiet in the first as well the rest of his straw less but this is
looking fantastic
Maybe another 5 man clean sweep. 5 on 2 for now. Jimmy and Brolland plenty of time. Can't really consider a save just yet.
Gonna have to fill this one out.
If you want a bright side of the situation, at least you have the bomb to work with.
I suppose you're right. Problem with the money going forward as well. This could cost you two.
Brolland smoked off. No one really has to do anything to maintain these crossfires.
One of them positions are fine.
I mean, there's a world for mouse into this round because look at the HP.
I'm strong. See, obviously it has to start here with getting Hoocsi out of the round.
That's perfect.
I don't love that, but it's fine. No, still good.
A little bit of utility to work with for these Tees.
With 30 seconds left. I mean, the hit has to come in sooner rather than later.
Oh, the bomb's gonna get down and I'm all itself.
I will.
Now this might be a great spot and he goes down, not good enough, damn it, roll brought
down to one, but two kills fall in favor of meows.
Okay.
Well done.
I think that's around.
Yeah.
There's ten seconds remaining.
Jimmy needs to get the bomb.
They can sacrifice one player to deny the plant he's just given up.
Fair enough.
Save the orb.
The money's gonna be in a dismal spot going forward.
But that's a very good effort.
At least Cap's Astralis humble.
I'll whiskey them on their toes.
Yeah, and fozy. I mean he was only rocking 8 HP at the end there
There definitely was a world where mouse could have pulled that off with the Molotov straight on the bomb plant
So I'm saving the orb actually gives them grounds to buy again. It's actually pretty decent with the AK
I think it'd be a couple of concessions. We've got the galil coming out but looks things for Jimmy
But yeah
I bit too scary down for Astralis for they get the job done. It's all good 10 to waste of a two-round game
Yeah
Almost expecting Spence to be a bit more involved instead of being a late-round guy this time.
He doesn't have a full belt. You tell he's the guy throwing that
You know extinguish smoke and so now he's got nothing right you can have him be a little bit looser as a result
Bombs left outside of B
And it feels like that kind of hoping that a strong has come back in for this Lane aggro to open up
That's been a real threat throughout this whole game
Wait, DemiRio's been doing a great job to get down on that ramp, but the aggression
not going to come from Charles this time.
Instead, Mao's forced to take initiative, forced to try to get some map control, stare, spots
but not in mid.
Able to evade without taking any damage, however, although space conceded for exertion.
This isn't my spot to find himself in.
smoke's about to fade.
Question is how ready will the straws be?
They're making a good move. They know that exertion is here to try and cut the
rotates and so they're just going to sandwich him. Exertion's dead
just about trying to take someone with him.
He won't get anything.
We really do have a game on our hands now.
Mauser on the ropes, 5-4, 32nd remaining, made their way in towards the B-bombs, I hear smoke
sit down, so on the C-4. Brawler on to defend, a retake initiative quickly here, we've got
Yabi coming in from the K, Fuzi deploying that incendiary, we'll find Jimmy, a 5-3,
the head comes approach from Brawler, he's good for a couple of multi-cures, but unable
to deliver the goods this time, as Fuzi secures the round and Torgie with nothing left
to do. He can try and get a couple of players on the cross, but there's almost
Zero chance of winning this, but we sort of did the yesterday on Dust2.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, we just got back to that too. Not even gonna be able to save the off.
So bomb diffused, only one round being the difference.
Astralis looked very solid on the CT side.
That's a very big round indeed.
All of a sudden, it's a one round game after a nine, three half.
Yeah.
This is exactly what happened yesterday, Harry.
You got A4 on Dust2.
for mouse that is and then just capitulated towards the end of it and fell off and then ended up giving up the first map
If you remember that
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's
It's rough Astralis CT side has been really really solid like even that round they got a little closer towards be the
Knee, I think it was 2v4 out of Adam ours
I think she's been a really solid game plan in these rounds for Astralis
I love the claps on exertion when he gets red room
They had a really solid idea of the mouse game plan there. I think that's one of like the
the criticisms of like the strong sort of
Fundamental level the mouse try and play to is is it makes them a little bit readable especially moments like this
Problem is now as well. You've almost lost your chances to do the crazy shit, right?
Like the game is neck and neck, you know, lock in you want to play more fundamental of anything
And it is Russian B, bro
All in
Right into Ryu
Spears down one and the bright side for the T's they have the sight but losing manpower as the seconds take
Jimmy is there for one trade and roll an aggressive caught out by foesie
Jimmy's had such a bad time on back default. I mean he just keeps dying
In every which way possible now spinks 1v3
Surely there's no entry way for it. Oh dear. Oh dear. I mean he's got the time. Oh my god
I remember those players when there's 1v3, everyone spinks in the situation, loves the clutch, loves the challenge, only good for one this time, and we're actually tied up. I can't believe it.
Strauss is just keeping a lot of pressure on in these spots, you know, like even there, the double swing. Sure, you're giving him two fights, maybe that's scary because it spinks in a late round, but like they were on phase by, they had protocols in place to make sure even if he gets the first guy, second dudes right there ready to trade.
I mean at the end of the day I feel like a straw is the city side.
We've just seen a lot of very good team chemistry.
They're working together to play it off of each other properly.
They're going to have to continue to do that.
I mean it's still a possibility for Maus, but probably not a possibility within this
round.
Only one hero galil and two Tex-Nines to boot.
Yeah, that is about it.
They need a bit of a miracle here right now.
One round posted in the second half there.
Let us draw this right back into this.
They're about to take the lead here.
They're the favorites.
and round number 21
As soon as the bootie
and to be stair, finding his confidence as well
Long range spray will find the head of Brawland
not dissuaded from the engagement as well
but takes the advantage, falls back towards the red room
and that is just textbook play
you've done the damage, a lot of information either
ascertained they're on towards this half-byte
no one needs to be giving up rifles at this point
play the structure
play together
You saw what they were playing for, right?
So now you played three strong over towards B
You've got stair spotting in red room, he's at a position where like he has no reason to kind of hang around and fight if it gets uncomfortable
All that matters is getting the spot if you see them going mid you rotate him back to a suddenly you've got
Reinforcements there so yes, tralas are in a very very good spot here
They're around to lose the problem is a team like a strahler, sorry they are known for giving up
disaster situations. I'm not worried about this one. I'm not worried. I'm just gonna make sure we
acknowledge it. Yeah, exactly. I like a bit of excitement, you know? I mean, the smokes go down.
It should be a clear path for the bomb to get planted. It's getting a bit dicey again. A lot of
damage being done. Let's see. Let me spray through the smoke. Bomb's still not going down. Once again,
the Molotov on back default. Oh, it's just disastrous right now for Maus. There's no way
for anything to get done sure one kill falls make it to exertion keeping the economy humble
at the end of the day but not really there's been such a big build up first draw so far
they finally have taken the lead in this map and honestly a disaster the mouse has let
us slip this far it's exactly what happened yesterday oh no 93 is it better than yesterday
they had a strong scoreline everyone was looking incredibly comfortable on the map all of a
of a sudden, Astralis get into the fifth gear.
And they are one round away from map point here.
That was the half by though.
We do have AWP Vitorjiba.
Couple concessions here.
Not fully equipped on the utility.
Sphinx trying to make his way towards the cave.
Tipper the spear up against Hooksy first.
Trying to deny the pressure.
Flashbang comes through.
Vance is a peek here.
Flash from his teammate doesn't catch them.
They're ahead of it.
The first advance we had at some time here for Mouse.
They finally adjusted to deal with the pressure that's been coming towards Cat. I mean Hooxy and Stare.
Having put in a decent bit of aggression towards there, at least getting one and done.
But this round not so much, Mouse.
Find themselves in a favorable position, just for the time being.
Yeah, see if they can hold on to it.
That's the question.
Players like Fuzzi will have to step up and this moment see whether they can have some
impact.
Bring things back to an even keel.
And so we're going for a contact play once the smoke goes down, we're speaking of smoke
that's replenished and a 50 second remain.
So we have three towards B for Astralis.
Yabbi solo hold.
And Malz really hasn't even put any pressure towards A for a majority of this half.
They haven't really been there at all, have they?
No, it does feel that it's partially telegraphed to what's gonna go on.
It's a bit of a rinse and repeat, although as I say that,
the bomb is making its way towards mid, so, selling a fake.
Yabby seems interested. He's starting to bite, and this is gonna be beautiful
for us to try to get on the site.
We have referenced it. Yabby's been playing pretty well today.
He's not quite positive yet, but he's close.
Takes his way out of the temple.
Say a prayer now, as you might be giving this one up.
All of a sudden, their advantage is shrinking. It's down to Brawl on very low HP and Astralis might have done this, boys.
The man advantage given up as Fuzi confirms around. We go map point to the Danes, and Malz give up yet another round.
It cannot get going on the seaside whatsoever.
Really good on Yabi there to stay and wait just a little bit longer because, as we said before, Malz has really been focused on that B bomb site.
Trying to sell that fake, it was a good idea, but when Yabi's just going to come out and get three kills that way.
Dude, unreal. What a play. And all those players who referenced in the first half, I never had any impact.
Hooksie was well, 0-9? 19-17, which still isn't a great scoreline, but where he was, holy shit, has he ever come back.
They're actually one round away from winning.
I know, it feels... it just feels weird. That's what's so strong in the first half, but completely capitulated.
And it's a dude they've been so focused on trying to like finally win this lane fight
It's kind of almost where like the game's been won and lost for miles
And now what you're gonna go a in what is essentially the final round of the game
That doesn't have to feel a little
Obvious Henry a little bit. I suppose so in Brawland's gonna try and show some presence to be at least
What you told us he got available to him. He's just got one smoke. So maybe not gonna spam
Try and keep them on this side of the map. You're going to try and ascertain some mid-control.
Spinks has snuck out. This is great space-taking. They obviously need this round.
See if Yabby can close things out.
It's going to be a question of how many can Yabby get.
Oh, oh, if a Spinks can just backstab and close this one out right here right now. Freebie.
They're not close enough to pounce on the advance. It's just, yeah, possession.
Very good spacewalks. Red room as well, and over they come.
He's gonna have to connect with at least one of these kills though.
Fosy push it forward with the P9.
He definitely don't want to drop bad, and now even numbers.
At least mouse control the site, and he's still not dispatched of over in Doughnut.
Slowly pushes up trying to get a timing kill, will it do exactly that?
And kills continue to fall both ways, a two on two.
Rolling.
Beautiful shot on the IV now, Fosy.
There we mention...
You need to step up more than you want.
Technite comes down, but Spinks is there to make sure that Mao doesn't drop out of the map quite yet.
Damn.
It is the hardest round of the game to get at number 13.
Felt like there was a chance there with that Technite kill towards Red Room from the sniper.
But it is down to Spinks finding that space, getting the backstab kill.
Gets himself three in total, takes his kill count up to 21 here.
And one round away from overtime.
Um, I don't know.
Astralis, this is your best opportunity to close things out where you have let them back
in and see if they want to explore their options over towards A once again.
Spinks couldn't believe his luck.
Yeah, I mean, walking down to completely open bomb site and then you have to get activated
until the post plan.
Good trades all around.
So what's the call now?
Do you just do more of the same?
Surely you assume you don't get that same level of space, right?
And now you go back to your basic game plan.
I think the B lane is the lane fighter again.
Spinks will join in the B lane.
It's actually going to be ramp taking matters into his own hands here.
So, you know, baiting in the last couple of rounds, trying to find that space.
There was an opportunity there for you, but cap flies on it.
Good damage from the HG around reset here.
Torgy flashing towards the B ramp of our Spinks, a second bite of the cherry.
The boost up, the op might be able to catch.
I was going to say the back lane player up if Uzi does.
Relocate with perfect timing.
I'm ashamed to flash ruin that because I don't often see the lurk smoke nowadays.
I was curious what the idea was for Spinks.
It's a very powerful smoke, it's so good.
Makes everyone super uncomfortable on the CT side, but could be the last round of
play.
I was trying to see a group in a clear mid.
to be the right read
exertion still playing back towards elbow
crosshairs lined up the timing was just not there
able to avoid leaving this life however
and still going to be two ct's to maintain this a bomb site as utility runs over
you gotta be looking down here right you saw that made a pretty aggressive from
exertion
So you know that's the first point of rotation all the guns looking at Dona as a result and a five on it three
Oh, bonk it stopped
All right, Fuzzi. This is the round how he's been waiting for it. Look at the goods, bro
There's definitely a chance but with the player big box, I mean, what's the timing gonna be like here Torsi focused on really?
Pulls you back site. Jimmy fat nice little tap to end regulation 1212 heading into overtime
weird to be an overtime not gonna lie I thought this was gonna be over very
quickly yeah I think we all did but at least try to see what we're gonna now and
they just say like they've had a turban in last year lots of rosters and ideas
structures but overall now this is like in terms of like you said earlier the
hate watches everyone's actually enjoying this roster now they actually have
some potential we're seeing it since the mental game is strong as well being
to recover a 93 deficit. See whether they can open things up.
Lini here is going to be sphinx though. Who really has turned it on in the latter stages
here of ancient once again. Look at all this space.
Harry Fuzzi seen him, but a morning shot. Very Niko-esque.
Brolin go all the way out through. This is good. I mean, it took miles and a while
to figure it out right but they were getting hard for on mid and lane that
means there's gaps elsewhere and the gaps have mostly been over here at A
certainly simple trade back with one smoke over towards donut this could
still get weird you're a little strung out here if your mouse because you have
spanks in B saying like guys I still have be like it's always an option but
look at how committed the bomb is you don't feel safe trying to get it out
of there exertions worried that when he gives up elbows someone's gonna come
crawling into it. You kind of feel shoehorned into going for the A play. Even though Spinks
still is the B site, he's going to have to come in on a backstab. And he shouldn't really
find anyone from this. I'm kind of nervous for Maus here. I'm very nervous for Maus.
30 seconds left. Javi catches Spinks out on the timing so that flank won't come into
play. Those go down towards Donut so at least the bomb should be able to be planted.
Jimmy's missed this time. He has. Oh God. No. Oh, it's all falling apart. I mean, sure, Jimmy, I have a chance to spray down one, but with the one on one Ryu, definitely has a position advantage. 10 seconds left.
So one needs to take the fight and it's going to be Jimmy. It's going to be a nice shot to the head and now somehow collect themselves to find the first round and over top.
I think Jimmy he like he pre-fired the side box and it tagged the Ryu which Ryu thought he'd been spotted. That's why he swings
What a round what a performance there they needed that
Jimmy 18 kills 13 deaths one of the top performing players in stage two so far
Needed that felt like that round was there's the taking he has to step up in the two-on-one clutch
But he gets a job done and puts miles back in the lead here
Yeah, one zero.
It's one of those really awkward rounds
where you're so successful on both fronts
that you don't really know what the right cool is anymore.
Oh, that, oh yeah, be, hold it together, my friend.
It's all good.
Frustrations mounting.
It's just, now it's hard for Astralis.
It's nice that Mauser, like the ones challenging them again.
Right, the idea now,
because the obvious solution might be,
well, they need a guy, hey, they need a guy holding.
Okay, but that's gonna take resources away from me.
That means you can't go for these like super active lane harassment shutting down the mid-play
So they're just gonna stick to their guns. They're leaving a open. They're calling the bluff of mouse
Leaving that they don't run it back again and this mid-play comes in
Astralis are there ready for it?
Last time Astralis tried to go for this exact same mid-play it did blow up in their face
They weren't able to really convert much of anything but the second attempt the aggression all around doesn't it free kills early on without
losing a body yourself
Very nicely done fozy
Cross your train to the right spot easy shot on the brolin and that leaves it for the all by themselves
All the way back in T spawn no friends. No hope
Great recovery from Astralis main objective now hold on to this AK 47 on the CT side. Yes
Don't let him have any sort of look into this round
Recover as many of the AKs as you can
We'll see if towards you do anything whether it's not looking good
I'll say that much, but still giving it a little look in
There's no harm in going for it
Yeah, sure it's hopeless, but
knows
I've seen miracles happen my friend. I didn't see one today, but
Previously I have so it's true. He had a miracle on dust to
Yesterday one of the most ridiculous clutches you're ever gonna see about that
He's down a step and aggro, 20 footwork to get up to the B ledge and all of a sudden
Astralis tying things up once again.
That's about as kind of hoping that Astralis overreact right and don't go for the mid
aggression, give them a bit of respect, give them a bit of room, but Astralis made a
real point that they won this space and even in this round you know that they
They feigned the mid-take with all the UTL Yabbi running in.
But this time they actually have an A-player.
They're expecting Maus to go back to what was working, back to the A-hits.
And so Fuzi here on the AWP, this is a really good line for the AWP.
The first time it's stationed over towards A, so good possibility to catch Maus off guard.
Fuzi, should hear the UTL rain over.
First shot, ooh, a miss because of the quick flick.
And he's gonna have to fall back, completely overwhelmed by these AKs.
Yabbi there for the trade.
However, make it three, get him by four!
Beautifully done from Yavi continuing to impress,
and now Spinks all by his lonesome over in mid.
Damn, dude.
Great shots.
Well, he channeled that anger into a beautiful quad kill.
Pixel perfect precision with the AK-47 on for the ace here.
Barely took any damage on route to victory here.
Will be a strahler, he's going up 2-1.
First to 16 here, and Spinks.
nothing to do. Nothing to say, surely. Smoked off. That is going to be the round.
Yeah, there's no way for this. Bombs down. Even if he does try to go for it, I mean you
got 30 seconds left, you have 4 kills to find. The bomb is in the possession of 2
CTs very close near it. Apex would be yelling at him right now. Nice baiting, mate. Apex
Absolutely wrecking it right now
Okay, I'm gonna kill
So it looks hyped up after that. I'm gonna see that replay. I was already before kills it
I thought surely a max two but
Somehow collecting the third and even the fourth with the low H fear the low ammo. Excuse me spacing is a bit ugly though from now
So we'll say that that's like four different one-on-ones essentially
I just sick yuck up bro, holy shit.
Crazy work.
Spirit seems to be very high for the camp of the straws.
Considering where they were, 9-3 down.
This is very impressive.
They struggle on the T side too, right?
Let's see if...
How they go navigating it with all the bells and whistles early on.
True.
Just over the wards lane.
Now, since they're right, they haven't got aggressive in mid, they haven't played for the lane control, they've actually gone again with Jimmy, aggressive in main.
And so, it's passive towards middle, just playing for info. Same in A, with Jimmy, able to get active whenever. That's allowed three players over here towards B.
Triple boost, you don't see this a lot.
Let's see what Fuzzi can get from it.
Oh! He gets his!
Agro, you gotta go! You know that boost was in play, so a good catch from Spinks at least.
To keep it even
You're right. We don't see that boost too often, but they put it off in a spectacular fashion
It shows he continues to dominate here two kills in the rounds
Maintains the advantage brawl and not known to be an all-power recover the sniper
I've got three players in towards this key position smoke down towards shores down to brawl on here
It needs to hit at least one and survive
I'm surely he's gonna get overwhelmed. Hello kill through the smoke is a great way to start trying to address further
They missed the shot on the ramp
And now strolls I mean they find themselves on the site all DCT so close exertion beautiful timing only able to get one
I was a backstab from Jimmy coming in
Pinsir this close plant situation
What's the timing gonna be for Jimmy?
Maybe up the ramp not able to convert with a headshot and brolin you mentioned he's not too familiar with the sculpt rifle
But has to do it all to try to confer further push
themselves are back into the game but uh straws hold strong they certainly do
foozy with the opening kills lovely little boost follow up frag took down the
orper and then brawl on although we got a kill through the smoke they could not
hold on that is be map points just the perfect time to bring something like
this out you know a little gimmick to find the first in overtime agreed are
I'm actually gonna do that resurrection of Astralis
No wine and he's complimenting who sees throwing them out so awesome. You're a little smile on his face, too
Yeah, it was very cute. Love that
And they close it out the vibes will shift a matter to go double-o
Let's see I
Think who's the enchant would get on you think so. Yeah, I think they're similar
He gives him hell when they're under performing. He knows they can do more, but when they cook it up rounds like that
he's very happy. Excellent. Good timing. First straws to exit the B extremity as the aggression
from Maus does come in. They clear it out. They know that no one's there.
His A bomb site is still open for the time being. Real close by, who's he backing him up?
Potentially a timing for them to try to walk out before, I was going to say before Maus
re-collected but exertion starting to get a bit inquisitive. Meanwhile, it's two
teammates also there. This is a beautiful read from the CT side.
Come on, Astralis. I want to see those good vibes continue. Give them a map.
Execution coming through. exertion and sphinx to defend. They have got the read.
And they open things up. Oh, trades. Looks like Jimmy might have done enough here, but
Still on the 3 on 3. The round's a long for Astralis here. Missed the upshot, but spanks.
The bait to switch gets the double. He's been so good throughout this map. 27 and 19 right now.
Down to Yabi. Certainly not impossible, but not likely with 15 seconds.
We've seen a 4k from him just a few rounds ago, so 3 might be possible.
Although 10 seconds left to push it onto the side. No one's even given up any space around.
round is over. Mouse, do push it further. Nice shot at least. And get more collection after
that. Mouse, one round away from sending us in to double overtime. And as you mentioned,
I mean, emotions potentially could spill over if this does go towards second overtime. We've
seen Astralis be a bit fragile on that side.
Oh, yeah, certainly. That's putting it lightly, I would say. But I'm very impressed.
I feel like if you let Mao's exist in the mid-round, you give them away back in, I kind of want a punchy straight in.
I'm like, yeah, you know, we like the rushes out of Astralis to open things up.
There was the mid-rounding that was the undoing, right? Mao's went and cleared the lane, right, as Astralis left.
That's what allowed them to set up sphinx over here in temple, playing that bait and switch with exertion.
I get some of this double kill, drops the bomb, tears the round away.
And so it's like, don't let them get to that mid-round.
Try, try a fast one! Try and end it with the...
The knockout punch then, yeah, I agree.
And, hopefully, he talks about it, there was a few rushes, a few change of paces in the first half, it's all that really found.
He's having success in his step, he tries left towards bit of a slope line!
How does he connect the dots there?
Oh my god!
And this is fantastic!
We're looking for a knockout punch, and this could be it.
Five on three.
Step...
On the hat trick right now, good grenade as well.
Significant damage, max damage, towards Torsheed. Can he take him down?
Not quite, but I mean, damage done enough and the bomb goes down.
This retake has to start. Three on three as Brolin also collects a kill.
Here we go.
It's all down to this.
Malz with the push. One more overtime, but Astralis have a huge chance to collect this map.
Utility, flying on in. Uxie, the first kill.
Of course, he's not a chance to activate. Flash pushes him off.
Brolin needs to try to make some sort of impact on this ramp.
Time taken further away and no kills able to be found.
A strawless battle back from a 9-3 half able to take it 16-14.
I don't know if I should just do it like that.
Yes.
Pop! Pop!
2 more, 2 more, 2 more!
Oh my my my my my!
Oh my my my my!
Fight, fight, fight!
I'm dead!
I'm dead as well!

I'm walking.
I'm walking.
I'm walking.
I'm doing it.
I'm going to have an effect.
Let's go to the smoke kill.
I'm sorry.
I'm in red, I'm in red.
I'm in red.
I'm good position.
Can we sneak in up on another?
I don't think so.
I would have walked out of the A.S.L.O.L.
B is quiet
I'll be close, I'll be
Only one, only one
No more, no more
Can't be reacting now

Holding down it, holding down it.
Let's do it, do it.
I'm already close, I think he's close.

I'll side and aim in.
I'll side.
Watch me.
I'll kill.
Relax.
I'll hold the owner.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I don't know if the bomb is moving or if he's to defuse it or not.
More, more, more, more, you can shift more, shift more.
W, W, W, left, left, left.
He's above me.
Okay, but aim right a bit and keep going. Aim a bit down, yo. Aim it to the ceiling.
He's on the right of me. He's on the right of me.
Okay, okay. So, be ready to land right.
What's that?
Can I have to go left?
Okay, I'll ask you.
Right, okay, see what's...
Come down, come down, come down, come down, come down.
Go, go back, go back, go back, go back.
He's left side left now, okay? He's left.
Hey, come down, come down, come down, come down.
Okay, more, more, more, more.
I'll wait for you with the smoke.
More, and then we'll be okay.
Yeah, stop.
Jimmy, you have to grab the bomb.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're going right now.
That means we're in for some left.
Okay, right now.
I'm shooting.
No, no, no, no, no!
He's shooting!
No!
He's shooting me!
No!
No!
Okay, okay, okay.
I'm a bit slow.
Stay, stay, stay, stay.
Okay.
Just press it.
Just press it.
Then we'll get out.
Okay.
Press it.
Fire at the back.
Okay.
No, no, no.
Hold on, hold on.
Get on the front, get on the front.
Get on the front.
Move, move, move.
I'm a bit slow.
Okay.
Get on the front, get on the front.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're aiming through the sky, Adam.
Come down, come down, come down.
No, don't push it.
No, no, no.
Speed up, and beat up.
Nice.
Go, press E, press A.
Press A.

Left, left, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
I don't know, what is this sense of the word?
Bro, it is like saying, when Jim is here, he has to write, he has to go and hit me too, right?
I can't hear anything.
Can I have a bomb?
I have a bomb now.
Is it head and good now?
It's head.
Press the bomb.

I have no key bro
I'm fucking out the bomb
We got Maus vs Astralis, we got Malout number 2 and I do have Spinks to go through some
CT positions for Mirage. Now before we dive into this, Binks, just in terms of yesterday's
game versus heroic. Are there any takeaways that you guys are kind of learned from that
series?
Any takeaways? Of course there is some in-game stuff, but mostly you can't take any online
game against any team easily. In this day of Counter-Strike everyone are good, everyone
can shoot amazing, and we need to be 100% every game, or at least 90 these days.
So, we need to focus on the beginning, today we don't have the crowd with us, it's just
us in the facility.
Okay.
So, yeah, just full focus on the game and we'll see how it goes.
And no more stunner with you, I hope that was all right, did you get your hoodie in
the end?
No, no, no hoodie for me yet, yet, but we did meet the stunner today, we had a
team work in the morning and we see stunner in the street working around his mouth
I don't know what he's up to but I think he's enjoying Hamburg.
I wish I could give you an answer. We have no idea.
Either way, let's dive into your CT position.
So let's start with yourself, Spinks.
You've been in a B-Short for a while, right?
Mm-hmm.
Love it.
Yeah, I'm the short player.
How do you like it there? Comfortable?
I like short. I'm comfortable in short.
I think this position is really nice.
You have a lot of action.
Usually you fight the mid guys however you like.
and you also have some sort of freedom you have a lot of positions you can go to you could be
ladder room hiding you could still be with your big eye to help him you could also be like you
know what fuck be the sound fuck short I'm coming jungle I'm coming gay so I like this position
there is some freedom to it and also some action to it but with a lot of power and a lot of
action there is also responsibility you need to you need to be sharp you need to move
You need to help your team to move around, to paint the picture and all this kind of stuff,
but I like it, I'm comfortable in this position.
Okay, so there's a lot of freedom. Is it down to you to call in a certain round saying,
hey, I'm feeling this, I'm really thinking that there might be going towards mid,
maybe I'll go through jungle, or is that more down to Brolin saying,
okay, we've seen a tendency, maybe you should pivot?
I think on short, it's more like if I do any moves, it's usually myself, I will call it.
I have a spawn guys, I'm just jumping short here, you know, I'm going to fight Tommy,
or whatever, and it's usually me, Xershan and Torsi around this area of the map fighting,
so it'll be between the three of us, and then we just ask either Jim, Pat or Bolan to
support or be close to us for a trade or whatever needed at the moment.
Yeah, there's probably teammates on the map then, obviously Torsi, which was mid, right?
Yeah, Jimmy B. Yeah, lovely B. You thought he's connected. And then it's actually connected, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
extension connected. Lovely, lovely, lovely. And then where's Brolin? Where's Brolin? Who can I hear? Giggling. He's
giggling. Fun, fun. Good. So do you want to play connector now? Oh, we'll have a little trade up.
In terms of Astralis though, as your opponents, first of all, I mean are you surprised, did
they make it to this stage, did you kind of expect it, what are your takes on them?
I think Astralis has all been a decent team, of course not like in the past but they've
all been a decent team, I'm not surprised they made it to this stage.
I think they had some good games but it feels like they've always fallen a bit
short on the tournament they have. They are doing good and then suddenly two games are
doing not so good and feeling the qualifier whatever it is. But I'm not surprised they are here,
but still we are definitely the favourites to win today.
100% Spinks, thank you so much for your insight, thank you so much for your time.
Good luck. Love and the confidence.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank God that's over.

versus the likes of FOOTS. Should they be able to get that far?
Neck and neck in the first half of Ancients.
Reaping past with the bomb.
Unseen by the CTs, there is a hole in the defences, even with five people alive.
How's Lance been able to get here?
Looking for a second.
I'll get the first at the very least.
They're not players, they're still standing though, forcing things back into their favour.
Their numbers are very high now.
I was looking ropey for a moment and they'll know that there was opportunity, frustration,
not catching one of those players in Donut, but sometimes it'd be like that.
Really smart though from Ft in that round because one of the risks of going for the
Donut opening there to help deal with mid is that you leave this opening through
red and norms exploited it, but. Unlucky not to get more out of that one. Very nice round
from Heroic as, uh, Furt aren't really looking great on the money here. And you can see the
opening works so well with doing it again for the CT side, but that means that only two
players can respond immediately to this B push, in go the T side, Furt trying to get these
openings again. The B holds are just fantastic from Heroic. Three versus two now for them.
relatively quiet game from demon all finished with a two round lead for
heroic a half-time they have a much better look on this map than they do
on their end pick of nuke let's see if they can close things out after the
break.
There's no scope for six-o!
No way!
There's a perfect game!
But this is kind of strong!
This is madness!
The stress of map one made us feel all a bit ancient.
16-14 Astralis able to pick up their map, and now we head into Mirage,
which is Maus's map pick, and definitely,
I would think a one-sided affair.
And we changed things up in the Commotion booth.
We've got rid of Harrow.
Finally!
We replaced him with his head-on.
Finally!
Now you've got Hugo G, Henry B, and Buckethead up in the mics.
You go.
Are you ready for this?
I'm ready.
Maus have done it again, guys.
We saw it last night, that first map on Dust2 against the Rarik, A4 choke, a nice clean
victory.
I still think so.
They get this 2-1 for sure.
You would imagine so.
Yeah.
But Astros have been punching up all season.
True.
So, let's see what they've got here on Mirage if they're up for the task or
if it is just the Maus recovery arc.
The foes need first to be tested, dobro is blind and not able to find anything early on,
although does get a blind to kill.
Shared immediately back by Spinks and now has a T-signal to bomb site, already rotations
in exertion, spreading through the smoke, Hoopsy not long for this world and a 3v2
has to be bomb site is secure, stare on a fast flank through the apartment, it's not
quite able to catch off the planter.
Okay, I was about to say it's getting a bit dicey out there, but it's comfortable
in the end for Mouse.
cancel on the plant. It's getting a little bit scary. Luckily heard those footsteps.
If there was a bit more patience, sure the bomb goes down, but you don't know what's
going to happen after that point. If you've done leg day, maybe, a bit more
sigh would have been a problem. Never do leg day. Come on, Henry. Otherwise, you wouldn't
feel your fame exactly. Exactly. I don't want to go up a size. I don't have to reinvest
in the genie economy. Luckily, Maus is mental, famously good. Always. So, no much to report
back here. We've got usps, single bottle flash for hooksy, and they're gonna go for mid swing.
It's an old classic, but no one home. It could be contact play, or maybe even an
and execute towards the A-POM site.
That's about it, boys.
I mean, there's surely no way that this round was bad for Maus.
Hoaxi will be able to spot them first, presumably, but they are taking their time
taking his bomb site. Utility does rain over.
Classic A-Execute. You could have learned how to do that if you guys were watching the in-between segments.
I guess so.
They were keeping some real good tickets.
Rolling MP7 onto the site, first kill found.
Still just pistols on the side of Astralis.
This does seem to be done and dusted already.
His round of planting and time to fill was not the best spray.
Minimize casualties here, Hank.
Absolutely true.
But any kills you can get of Astralis,
right now we'll have to wait for gold.
You'll be buying up the following round here.
It looks like we are done and indeed dusted as we go to zero.
But he won player drops, but as mentioned we do have the rifles and the foosie AWP glass cannon.
I believe they call it.
They do.
So no cavlar gets us of a smoke.
I mean, I'm a fan of this player.
I think it's a really good way to build confidence early.
Sure, you can backfire.
You can go down because of that lack of armor behind you.
But we said so many times that foosie is a player that needs to be activated on the Strolls roster.
Towards the end when they were making that comeback, the ops started to get activated more and more.
So, if they can get it going early on, especially on a map that really does not favor them, I think, a lot of benefits can come.
CT barrage, snipers, paradise, Fuzzi getting put in position on the boost of ladder.
Could you be ramping, Xersion B?
The mouse taking their time.
So, bomb down for now, exertion.
Having a little prod in towards B, it smoked off, doesn't fancy his chances, spings waiting
for any aggression towards the underpass, but starting to coordinate back towards the A
site.
Bomb on the back of Taurgy just denotes he does not have the AWP as of yet.
It's old and it's classic Hank, they're going for the A split, under to con.
It's textbook stuff really.
a window boost, but real... inquisitive.
Uh, well, not looking in the right direction, not getting much done, Spinks.
Good way to open up the round, Molotov. Forces any of the CTs out from window, though Stair
drops a nade, that does decent damage. And with all the CTs out of position, it should
be an easy entry onto the bomb site. Oh, wow! Spinks, beautiful timing, almost able
to double up, spraying, not quite able to find it, has to fall back. But still,
bomb planted 5 alive for the T side.
Hard to lose this.
Yeah, honestly, if I'm the straws, I'm going for the same.
I think you might be on to something.
Fortunately, Fosey goes down, so I don't know
that I'm just going to be recoverable.
It's not.
Nothing's recoverable.
Spinks shooting like this last map.
Yes.
He's like, oh, he's looking unbelievably good.
He wanted some crazy rounds.
Yeah, Spinks was the one on the side
for the straws that entire time.
Jimmy also playing very well, living up to the performance he had so far.
But it was even more of a choke than yesterday you get.
They're up 9-0.
It's a bigger number.
You get a bigger number.
And yeah, they somehow only got 1, and then like just about got a 2 overtime courtesy of Spinks.
He like stepped up and got 4 kills in the last 2 rounds.
But then just gave it up in towards overtime.
Now, Hooksy and especially Stair, they were players, they were on like 0-9 at one point.
They came all the way back in the second half, said the mental is looking good for Astralis.
for Astralis they can recover this.
Problem is maybe not this round.
No, no, I'm trying to test.
Time!
Oh no!
I mean, he's got a scout.
Anything can and will happen.
He's got that baby in his hands.
Headshot machine, that's what they call him.
Trust me.
I believe that's what they call him.
I never heard of that.
I trust you.
That's what they do.
It's a, you guys probably wouldn't know about it.
It's pretty new.
See what we can deliver on said promise.
Couple of headings required.
So, have you got a partial around this yet, some 5-7s, some Kevlar, we do know Yabi has
been hitting some bangers with a D-Gull today, smokes down towards Window.
Chad's dying for a third man.
He's dying for a third man.
He wants to show off the overpass utility, okay, we've got these fires pistol, we know
what they're going to do.
I think we might get intricate, that's a word, that's one of the words.
It's a close not one of the many I
Mean at the end of the day, I don't see a world
I don't mean to speak this too soon or speak this into existence. It's over world where mouse
Drops mirage against the straws. See now. You're now you're talking now. You're talking like Chad
No, you're out in it's over. No, not even from the storyline right now. I just you know generally speaking
Here we go. Who's it? Although
Who knows. Headshot machine.
I mean, Hoax is able to get something down with the scout.
There are two kills, both found by the pistol review.
Hoaxing. I had a slot to do some damage.
Wait a minute.
I see the headshot.
He comes the wrong direction.
One on one.
In the back lines.
Nade can get down towards the plant.
Holy!
Oh no, surely not.
Surely not, Fosy!
He's spot with the lack of armor.
Right to the behind.
Yeah, that's what it comes down to.
He couldn't have played it better.
really the USB clean kill made with max damage the Molotov to force the dual but
as soon as he gets touched by a bullet the aim punch comes through unable to
confirm but tantalizingly close.
And a really good 2k from me there.
Yeah it did very well.
That was U.S.P.'s for the most part and the headshot scowl.
Oh god I thought he was through short for this angle.
Oh, Boosie was saying short because he was top middle coming short so
See that's why you looked the wrong way there
But that's better than it go just a straight up clean
Torsi this is exactly what I get in yeah, I get in yeah, I'm back your head just said this map is over
Well, I mean Charlie's gonna be 5-0 this point
Right as to you're not gonna go for this. Well, I'm not even down yet, but
Yeah, straws playing very passively conceding everything. They have no money in the bank
Hugo, do we have access to the mailbag on that one?
That laptop?
I think we do.
Ooh.
I'm going to say, have you got any questions for Buckethead?
We are in.
We are in.
DHL Mailbag at efg.gg.
Send your questions for Buckethead.
It's been no emails in four hours, Emory.
Well, we haven't called it out.
We've been quite serious.
I can't.
Send that again.
That email again.
DHL Mailbag at efg.gg.
All right.
Any questions for Buckethead?
Get in the mailbag.
I'm going to open both guys.
That's me anything.
Anything you like.
It's kind of the vibe around here.
The vibe right now for Fuzzi and Stare is to hold on.
It's a little they have. It's actually quite nice in terms of utility.
I think we've got a tactical timeout coming up next considering the gravity of the situation.
Nice kill, hold on to the save.
Couldn't get out with it last time.
This time in the wrong position for the round.
But maybe Fuzzi couldn't get involved in round number six.
Need a little shawty on Fuzzi.
Follow up as he-
How did that flash not get him?
Look at that flash, that landed in his face.
Oh, such a great shot on the cap as well.
So sick, no time out.
So, looking for 6-0, a change of pace, potentially.
Got a bomb.
And Torgie this time.
Getting towards A.
Contact plate is available to them.
See if anyone dares peek Torgie towards his A ramp.
He might get something here.
Flash again, this time he does catch him.
We have got Spings in the anti-flash position.
Picks up that first kill nicely.
Supposedly not gonna get a chance to trade back until the connector peek very nice minor adjustment
Possibly trying to line up for more Nate gonna go down. Don't think it's gonna do too much damage
Very good trade back to at least keep the round even for the time being not allow mouse to explode out on that a bombsite
And mid-reaggression for the CT's clear this space out
I like the idea of what Astralis is doing. It's just a matter of the timing of what now is going to strike
Ironically, this is the best chance Astralis have had so far to pick up around. Yeah four on four decent control of the map stair
T spawn a ton of information
They know it's going to be an a finish but looks at things a similar rotation to come through through the evening
It's way back towards CT ramp
Flash is going over
Ready for the backstab, but can't connect the dots that was always it was always a fake problem was pushing back b
They throw the nades they try rotate out, but stairs got the bomb cut off
He doesn't know just yet Toshi realizing now he has to commit today
This is all over the shop right now for miles and maybe Astralis his first round 2v4
Can we get that bomb put down does see that it's gonna get planted
But how long can they keep before nature's connector miles off onto the bomb planters where's he a lot of damage taken?
able to evade losing his life but Jimmy needs to try to get this kill in towards
CT first one found trained in the right spot uncharacteristic miss pistol comes
out and now Jimmy with an ult into trying to spray down to one is all he gets
and Astralis finally find themselves on the board with the first round it's
okay everything now is a 4v2 full info that you were the bomb was
Brolin's fate got dealt with yeah still that's the definition of a hollow
victory towards the end. It's so stressful. The fact that comes so close after such convincing
mid rounds sequence there. But yeah, they get the first round will take it. We cover the
AWP, but no AKs. I'm afraid Famous will have to do the hooksy. Yeah, that's what I mean.
The bites are still going to be good for Mouse. That was a great effort in the four
on two. So close to victory. Their money's absolutely fine.
Honestly, the body language from Astralis so far, even though we're very early,
Vings has accordingly nades, or at least drop them all. It suggests he's going for a, kind of, Hellmary play, into what is a ramp.
Full send?
Full send, potentially.
I was already down to 65 health.
Yeah, might dissuade him somewhat.
Stunned to the bit, but rolling.
Decent space in the mid.
Straal's choosing to play off of it for this round.
So him and Xerish in free range to do basically whatever they want.
Just going to go down window connector.
A lot of time until he's from the CTs, Brolin will find himself within Khan, maybe a chance
to catch a Stross off.
Smoke blinds him for now, but I feel like a Stross have a very good understanding of
what's going on right now.
Yabbi pushing through the smoke, slowly, whoa, this double spray towards the trades back.
I just will try and challenge it to low HP against the AWPer, but
teammate's dropping like flies around him and it's a very convincing A collapse here pressure from every angle of the bomb site
4 on 1 bear in mind as well
They really need the previous round at first and the board to be clean a 4 on 2 coming down to a 1b1 means
There's no chance for foosie has to save the AWP. It's pretty much all he's going to have it going forward
I feel for us rather sad because it's not like they just sat back and did nothing
They were constantly going for info. They were breaking the cons mode they spammed through they never saw the con player
Then they go take ramp and torches waiting with orb. It's not like Astralis just sat back and got splitter
They tried to force fights mouse just didn't let them have them and then as soon as mouse get through connector round is over
backs turned and
So mouse back to their winning ways after one clutch falling for Astralis
It's just a save game right now for Fuzi. Oh, it comes the cavalry though. Very illicitly
You're missing a shot
kind of up jump but Jimmy with the backstab takes the outbound areas of the CTs
oh snap a half by situation the money was a real talking point for Astralis in
the first half of ancient as well there was like three or four full ecos I had
to take looks like they would not be going for that approach in round number
eight here we are gonna see somewhat of a buy yeah Abbey brings out an M4 we've
got some deagles some five sevens are still a partial not a full investment
but they know they need to have some X Factor going forward
The Abbey has shown some great rounds today.
See this boost.
We'll find in a second.
There's a couple of frags here.
The burst one is clean.
How do you get out though?
They're gonna come for the fight.
Roland will not let you escape.
Smoke gets a bit of room and
Stair just recommits with a re-smoke.
Stay down here.
Optimistic.
Double molly.
Only one fix there.
The take, how is he burning?
That's a lucky dead man walking.
Five bullets to Jimmy. Doesn't want to go for the full spam here. Only needs one.
Surely not, right? Surely, Sterak is caught out.
Yeah, he's done.
Smoke fading.
Jimmy catches him.
Beautifully done. Hoaxy on a backstab, though. Might be a catch of timing.
Five-seven.
See, headshot machine, I told you.
You're dead on. New nickname for Hoaxy.
Still, something left to be said in the round.
Hoaxy has got the AK-47, but
I'm told surely go. Rio needed at least some damage there.
And I would find the knowledge people are on, finding for the smoke, quite.
Those headshots, Hooksy, and they're going to fall back from the rifle.
Oh, there is a chance, there's a world.
There's always a chance.
There's a world here.
Low, and that's a clip from Foozie.
I'm getting out of there.
So easily, Spinks, important chase, but Hooksy has timing in the bomb.
Available for the taking.
Spinks is a rock right now, 14 and 3.
Credit to his trials.
Very good round for giving what they had, you know, not much going into it, but
Mouse still I mean, they're just so good at in the end making sure that
Everything is being played correctly as a team, especially on Marash
Yes tries to pad two Ecos that go really close
Winning neither of them and mouse could just rub rub this off right this off. They could rub it off as I'm a dog
Forget about it
Not what we all think in Henry.
You know what I'm thinking, what we were talking about backstage before we came out.
Yeah, high-tea low-quarters all.
Exactly.
That's what I'm going for.
That's the vibe today.
Well, Miles, this is a pretty stress-less game.
To be fair, though, I don't know if you heard the comms, you got in the first map.
Astralis being pretty calm, even when they were losing at 9-3.
The vibes have been quite macular.
Wine-free.
Wine-free.
Wine-free, that's nice.
Yeah, a few miracles on display, recovering the 9-3 deficit.
some hero rounds especially out of yaddy oh absolutely so looking very confident
now you can see them feeling themselves you can really cool anything from the
strap of the stage everyone's hitting their shots the space has already been
found and that might be the round already we would need something very
clean here he does find it she goes down with nothing but the bomb is being
planted and Patrick Brown about to appear here truly five all the space
bomb problem but it starts with everything they need to make this retake happen.
Brolin getting a little bit of damage on the Abbey. They do choose to no longer fight aggressively
NCT. Four players grouped up making their way towards that staircase. Flash comes in. Brolin
keeps with the perfect timing avoid it! That's a 3K! Although Jimmy does get that last one as
Brolin does fall. It's once again fozy. He's trapped with no way to try to retake the
the up, all the way in the back lines does collected Joe is able to fall back with his
life this time. Such brilliant teamwork then. Brolin playing ahead of the initial flash gets
information that three players are there, takes the first one down with a nose he can
re-peek. We've said flashbang landing perfectly, gets himself three kills in total and now
it's a five and four advantage for Astralis and even though they had that advantage
they lost the bombsite so much space early on, so difficult to recover. Well handled
from mouse. It's crazy how they were going to lose it to be honest.
They had one flashbang, it's the only video they had and it sets Brolin up for a blind
payback. Stralis kicking themselves. So blind. He's shocked, even got away with that.
A beautiful sequence. Shouldn't win that round. And Fuzi, from a safe pair of hands to a
save pair of hands, he's done nothing but hold this awful half.
It's true.
Eventually, you're gonna have to use it.
Very serious look on the side of Astralis.
I was trying to mention this before, but we got cut off by the round.
The body language, even though winning map 1 and, you know, having a comeback on map
1, the body language, this entire map so far, has just looked less than good.
They just seem very, um, sad.
I mean, it can happen.
I don't know what the words are used for.
Oh, it's fine.
I feel like that summarizes it.
I guess it's quite a sad situation in general.
You go from pure joy,
that recovery into another situation
when you're just so deep in the mud.
It feels like it's over,
but bear in mind it was 9-3 on ancient.
They managed to bring it all the way back,
but they out on the CT side.
So it doesn't look as promising.
What have we got to work with here?
Hook C is kind of 3-9, Stair 1-8, Ryu 3-9, so yeah, no one really stepping out.
Fuji 7-7, most of those has been save kills.
Which are fine, but as Hugo mentioned, you can see some impacts.
With the AWP, they have a standard chance here, need the rest of these rounds.
What's the play?
Establishing the bait and switch here on the ramp, suggesting that it's playing to the smoke,
but someone is deep and tucked away.
It's going to yabby this time.
We might have a Palace Pounce though.
Ooh, three players, and I think that's exactly what we'd get.
A couple of smokes go down, send over four flashbangs.
The ball ramp is nice though, man.
I mean, ready for the second.
It's still gonna be hard to crack open.
Side of CT, unless they do some beautiful timings.
Jimmy's making a lot of noise.
We'll make the way out of the site, stare, long-range fight, but the M4 does pop in spades.
Although a beautiful spray from Jimmy keeps us into even numbers.
Mile top goes out towards jungle.
I'm going to force him to get back.
Oh, he is still tucked in towards that ramp.
I'm not playing it for mouse yet, towards he does collect it.
And this is the exact timing he needs.
One, two, bomb gets denied.
Brolin exertion, still a chance to try to sweep it up,
but with only 15 seconds left, it has to be now.
It has to be here.
Brolin, a beautiful 2k, and now IGL versus IGL.
Both have the brains, but which will have the bronze to pull it off?
Gunk is planted, Hootsy wants to get aggressive, AK vs MP9, Brolin spraying, not quite able
to fully land the kill.
But the readjustment and a nice 4K means that Mao is still remain strongly on top.
Beautifully played from Brolin, that info gather as well, the little jump, that made the
difference, he was in the dark, he didn't know where Hootsy had gotten to.
And despite Yabi's excellence on ramp, it's another Mao's round.
That's going to break the backs of Astralis.
For me is the round that maps over. It's over. Yeah, they should probably broken again as it's over
Let's get back in the DHL man. Oh, is there anything right? It's a lot of mail for Buckethead. Oh, yeah
I'm gonna start firing again. Let's go. Give me you can you can pass if you want. Okay
I get how you cross a lot of NA games
You have your eyes when any up-and-coming NA players that could break out and save that a
Break out and save an egg. I want to keep the bar low. I was gonna say up and colors
not a specific player because I feel like I
I have a lot of people in mind, but a team that's doing really well in the advanced circuit
that's slowly making a push towards like a solid tier 2 is lag, life's a game.
They have looked incredible recently, they did just make a roster move, so good to see
how that plays out, but a shout out lag, I mean they're doing really good things
out by now.
That's nice, I got a good one here as well from Austin.
Fuck it, how do you get your hair to look so picturesque and envious of the immaculate
flow of your hair?
It's nice hair to be fair.
It is Texas asking you.
Oh, it's Texas.
It's genetics.
You know, shout out to one of the ones down here.
Shout out to my friend.
Sea salt spray.
Sea salt spray.
That is true.
When I have my hair long, that's what I'm using as well.
Going for more of a shave look, he says.
But sea salt spray is the go.
King, since he loves you.
I love you too.
It's on the open for anyone here.
Will Maus be able to keep it together for the second half of Mirage?
I think they might.
This time, it's actually a very valid question.
It's normally the first map they choke and throw away.
If we're going by previous results,
they should be absolutely fine to close up the second and indeed the third.
Yeah.
Are you actually a firefighter?
CJ's talking about you fighting fires here.
Oh yes, I'm a volunteer firefighter.
No way, that's cool.
Hey man, it's a...
How often do you get called up as a volunteer?
Has it ever happened? Do you ever get called up?
Yeah, we usually-
He's saving like cats while he's putting out fires.
Uh, mixable. If we've had a lot of, uh...
We feel like the plumbing department right now, a lot of like busted pipes, cause the weather's been so...
Uh, shitty for lack of a better term in New Jersey.
But really quick, Hootsy!
He's definitely not shitty. MP9's raised at 1, not quite able to connect with another one, but a 2 on 2.
Does leave this round open-
Oh!
...until...
Of course he takes out Fosy. Yeah, be the only one left.
You saw magic come out from him, but maybe his hat is empty now as this retake
definitely gonna be hard especially when the timing is
Leading towards she's favor spotted in the back and around ten to one
So even better than the first man nine three surely can't show and that means an even harder famous last one
Surely you can't show this is unshoken. I need to get more into this fire fighters
So do you do need like real training for that or you just like look I'm available. Let me know
Man-dated training for it. It's the same volunteer and paid you go through the same schooling
It's just one gets paid and one does it for the love of the game or the hate to fire. I hate fire
I didn't know he had that on. So we're going to explore that later. But it's the final round.
Let's see whether Strauss can do anything with it. Clutching his drawers here and Sphinx
reading him well. He's going to be good for one, though, but he's damaged about four
and four. I would say fav is the T side. He's going to spread the defense thin.
Still two players in towards B. And that's exactly where we're heading with Torji patrolling
the connector with the AWP. One is back. Zershin up towards short.
Zershin up towards shorts
And you can make it a 2v4 right now. I still think the T's have the advantage just based off everything we've seen
There's him going for the end. Oh, he misses it
I think he spotted the on cat with that jump he does falls back towards bench
Oh, don't play your knife out now man. You got to be ready for the fight. That's coming
It's an opens up the site. Oopsie at least there to stab back
But nothing can come of it foesie 1v2
Already one collected on the round needs 3k to close it out for the bomb reposition itself towards a completely open
The story of this half has just been foezy being out of action in the post-planned situations, always ending up on the wrong side.
I'm gonna try now.
I mean, you have to try now. Before there was chances to save, but 29 HP, an AK, not his preferred weapon, but in the situation, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Clearing out through jungle, mouths aren't gonna give up any sort of fights.
Especially with the noise being made now, Torsi should have the sideline from CT, ready to go.
It's not Brolin, firing off with the AK. 11-1, the good for Mao's, the bad and the ugly for Astralis.
We'll have to see if there's a little bit more magic left after this break.
I
Mid-hour, waking hours
The thrill of the day
Is all over me in the city
She's evacuating stuff
And I'm thinking
What if I get the key
My head playing me around
This game is all
Midnight hour
When it's hour
Open your
This game is all
Midnight hour
When it's hour
Open your
This game is all
I went to pick up baby
She's too big to play around
I'm in control, I'm up and down
I've been lucky to be done
But I can't get it when it's on
Make it high, whoa
When it's on
But I can't get it when it's on
get
Mouse absolutely dominant in the first half of mirage.
They were dominant in the first half of Ancient as well.
I feel like different circumstances coming into the second half.
Yeah, considering they're on the T side, there's almost literally a word I don't use lightly, Hugo.
You know that. Literally no chance here for us, Carlos.
But you never know. It always starts with this door, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's see what they can do here.
You've got to keep the door open.
Yes, just a jar. That's all. Not necessarily open. It's a jar, though. It's unlocked.
We've got a smoke. Are there more doors or more jars in the world?
In the world. How many doors?
Well, I think it was answered one day back in the past, one round at a time, boys.
The most important thing here is to try and make them sweat as much as possible for it.
One round at a time.
Is that what you can do?
Two rounds at a time, that's just unfair.
Oh, it's not the start that we're looking for, but if Dinkett's been found at the very least,
he's gonna be brawled now to two points of health, version of 71,
but they have no advantage for the whole team.
That might be all she wrote, because you are hooksy now.
Headshot machine.
Headshot machine, sure.
A couple of goals. Nothing but a headshot so far.
I'll close it out. He didn't have the HP to walk, as I'm afraid.
Even if he got the ding, I don't think he gets the instant kill of that rain.
He gets such low HP. So great try. Bomb planted, but map point.
Yeah, and the team kill in towards CQB definitely did not help.
I'm sure that doesn't help the emotions either.
I mean, this map's already arrived, though. I think they've already
Yeah, I mean you've got to say the side of you thinking in game leader. Oh well one round at a time boys
But you know deep down it is over you thinking about overpass
And I think that's what we wanted
I think Chad has a second for us about overpass true
So we did want to do it anyway and
Astralis they have a very good overpass true. Yes, maybe maybe a more competitive third in this series
But now just the Irish third
I think we blasted him at our best all about that.
It looks like he's coming to a position where there is a bit of magic left in the tank yet.
We have got a chance to slither a hope, but that's about it.
The bubble we planted, can they do anything else?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say probably not. I mean, Fosy's Deagle could be hot,
but not hot enough, and yeah, half his HP is gone. He's got a little to work with.
He's got 3 CTs swarming him. Sure, try to spray him down. You're not gonna get anywhere.
It's a 13-1 victory for Maus on Mirage, and hopefully Astralis can fare better over on Overpass.
I'll need to.
and
and
and
and
Open B, open B, I'm safe now.
I have jungle.
Go hunt, go hunt, Jimmy.
Go this one, go this one hunt.
Oh, B.O.S. Kitchen.
Close.
Nice, guys!
Nice boys.
Nice console, Tom.
Flashing!
You have to go out.
Bomb!
Dead or not?
Right side, right side, right side, he went back.
I'm hiding, come, guys.
Big bomb!
Big bomb!
We can flash short together, Phoenix.
I flash one, I flash one.
Yeah, flash short.
Take him behind, take him behind.
Yeah, da.
Yeah, da.
Ramp, yeah.
That is that is
Fuck is no one
If it's executed they like to do your channel was that if it's actually good good luck
I'm going to talk about the
third and deciding map of this
series and look guys we're going
to take it more seriously. We
see the comments Henry. He's
going to have an official
apology at the end of the day
and we're going to lock in right
now. So let's talk about the
CT side as far as astralis
concern. Hooksy is the
rotator. That's why I put him
in sport in between both
sides as the facilitator
missed it. Ryu is going to be
He's the rotator. That's why I put him in sport in between both sides as the facilitator missed it Ryu
He's going to be locking down a monster fozy orping over towards a that's gonna give you yabby as your short man
Henry keeps saying the best B player in the world and stare who's been pretty good
I would say on overpass with the CT aggression and the a control now. Let's clear this off
And let's talk about another sort of things mouse exertion
He's gonna be your short plan. He'll be teamed up with everyone's favorite Jimmy P king of the P
He'd be locking down monster Brolin
He's going to be the rotator being game leaders at both in game leaders going to be doing the rotation for their squads
Spinks will be your a rotating your a rifle excuse me and then Torji over towards the site with the MVP
So we're not going to spend too much time on the telly. We're actually walk over. I've got Harry
I've got Hugo and we're going to jump into over passing talk about some utils
So let me just wander over you can follow me. I walk slow. We'll make sure everyone knows what's going on
How are you here? Can you hear me? We can each other you can hear us. I can hear you fantastic
Everyone having fun on Overpass, everyone's favorite map.
Dude, I love this map.
It is my favorite map.
I hate this map.
Well, we've got a game of nature.
We've seen Astralis's pistols recently.
We've been taking notes.
Not only do we have the, you know, yeah, we have that pistol from the other day.
It actually looks pretty effective.
Of course, everyone bans this map and face it.
It is the most banned map right now.
So maybe one day we'll...
Everyone's loving it.
Everyone's loving Overpass on FaceIt.
Are you doing the Molly as well?
Here you go. You just did the smoke.
Are you doing the Molly? You got the smoke?
Yeah, I've got the smoke. Okay. Okay. So yeah, this is a five man long control pistol. Let's love the smoke sound now, shall we?
Let's love them out. We're gonna fly over and take a little bit of a look at what's get happens over here
So it creates a channel as you can see right you're gonna channel through long and you're gonna play for bank control
My drop down Molly has a smoke hasn't landed perfectly that
From a guy who you know prides himself in his you too. I'm not happy with that
Let me go again. Shall we this one should be nice and deep if I've thrown it correctly. It looks good. That looks better
Looks great. Is it gonna rickshaw off the bin? That's what we're looking for right nice and deep
So that channel with the smoke that you go through that's gonna land here in front of dice
And then the molly is gonna land the back here the last piece that hooks you would throw as they were scaling
All right boys, so you're ahead of me you're running up
You guys gonna be flashing over the fence behind you so as you're coming and taking that's into the site exactly
We add in the bank control, and then we plant on this side.
That's a pistol round.
You could run that as a gunny.
Why not?
Why not?
What other nades have we got here, boys?
Harry, we've been teaching you some stuff.
You want to show off some of your nades?
Do you remember them?
Yeah.
I got some.
What do you got?
This is the truck molly again.
Okay.
A little run jump throw that's going to land and burn out anyone at truck.
That's nice.
Came up with my own dumpster smoke just now, Chad.
Give us some new...
We just did that stuff.
Give us some new stuff, Harry.
I don't have no clip on but yeah if we go to this little bench down here in mid check this out right
So this is a dumpster smoke alternate bit alternate version. This is gonna fly on over
Land in at the dumpster, but from this same position chat if you can like it
You're gonna go ahead and line up there on the little bench
That's gonna land in at the bank now
You've done a full a exit get teammates will love you for it, but it sweetens the deal bro this bench
Right, this is why bupski. This is why bupski used to like it so much. You could go ahead
Line up with I think it's this chat is this one
One line up there throw on here. That's also a bank. Oh, no, no throw it again. Just don't jump throw
Just don't do it. It was a bank smoke. You go ahead throw without jumping and what was the bank smoke is now the
Check that out. That's pretty check this out boys. Hugo. Could you come stand here for me?
It's down here on this wall, and you're CT defending, right?
Right there. Alright, check this out.
So Harry, this is one that Hooksy throws.
You might see it in this next game.
So, he throws this, it's just like a microstep flash.
Like a microstep shift flash.
Oh, Hugo's gonna be blind.
Ugh! You can't see.
And that's a great way.
You use that lurk smoke that you just threw there.
Harry, you throw that flash,
you clear this position out, very tough to get past.
Hugo, what do you got for us?
Anything special worked up here?
I got some B stuff.
And let's have a look.
And let's have a look.
Harry will have to run the whole way.
We'll see you soon. I'm running.
Okay, so I'm gonna stand up here. This is a bit of a quick monster smoke.
Gotta wait for the train, of course, a bit of a heaven smoke rather from monster.
There's two versions. This is one there.
But I find this one is a little easier on the fly.
You're also closer to monster as well.
Hopefully I hit this first time. 50-50, I'd say.
That looks almost, almost good. Not feeling a bit higher.
Kind of like there. Over there. Somewhere there.
That should land.
There you go.
Wash. Right in the heavens.
Oh man, I even have something on me if you want to see it.
Do you remember when I cooked this one?
This is my favorite.
Better land this first time.
This is my favorite Molly.
So what you're going to want to do is you're lining up using the outside of this pipe piece.
See where it goes from being dark to light?
You go right there on the curvature.
You're going to want to line up with the second rung down on your little grenade
crosshair once that jumps up.
Now when you hold W to run forward, it's going to throw you off in some weird
other directions, but that's fine.
You're just kind of vibing it out.
So once we've got this lined up, you go whoop, give that a little throw.
It's going to bounce off here, burn out anyone in this really strong close position.
How nice is that?
Nice.
Seed Vitality really abused Paravish in an occlusion find with mollies like these, combining
with maids as well, just popping it on the top.
Apex had a crazy molly that goes over this wall, lands next to Molster.
I'm not going to throw that.
I don't know.
Also, who could be about this one?
Who could be about this one?
Right, you're lying up here.
This was one.
You might have remembered Chopper.
Embarrassing moment where he missed this door smoke multiple times.
Well, it's actually so easy.
You just line up with this big leaf here, and then is it just to jump through?
Just to jump through.
Just to jump through, you throw that, and then it's going to soar through the sky and land
over here.
So you don't even have to use the crazy, crazy line up that Chopper was trying to do.
It's actually very easy to throw.
Chad, I'm happy to report I've actually remembered the lurk smoke.
Oh nice, okay, show them a hug.
You really got to lock into my POV on this one if you want to learn.
It's a front of the ladder here.
And then you're going to use, see, I don't know what view model I have.
I'm using classic.
Classic.
So I must have classic as well.
You see this line down between the buildings?
Where this line meets this, so right at the end of this T, you want to put the tip of
your smoke.
Seems crazy, eh?
A little circle.
Yeah.
A little tip of the smoke.
Right there.
You see it?
Boom.
Jump throw.
That's going to path perfectly to get you out monster.
Yeah, so we will actually see Astralis run this, right?
This is how they do it.
the path for Yabbi the best B lurker in the game to play behind so that'll be a
question a lot of the utility we've shown right now is stuff Australia's do on
this map so I highlighted the CT positions we have a knife round to
determine who's gonna be on the CT or the T side but here's just some little
nuggets of utility that you guys can use at home mainly for the T side
actually all for the T side we didn't do anything CT based right here but
yeah remember overpass it's a fun map most banned map map you probably never
play but if you do here's some nades all right gentlemen we got one
map to get to. Should we get out of here? I can coordinate forever but if you want to cut us off
that's fine by me. Let me get out of my chair let me see how long we got. Is there a timer on the
screen? I can't really see the screen. We're gonna get a break. All right that's good. Great job
guys. Keep it up. Give yourself a break. Good job guys. Good job guys. Good job.
No chance at all, dog!
HUNTER!
Nobody fight here and we know you don't even do it, bro.
What's the matter, bro?
He wants it all!
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank God that's over.

You can run distraction now as we see a rotation
in to mid from X-Flight.
Things looking somewhat desperate, but quite narrow in these margins
for both squads down to a 2-on-2.
And Krebbenny's made it all the way to CT spawn.
There's only one for each side now.
Sailing HE over, but through triple he will spot that last man.
A tense one.
Again, small windows for both teams, opportunities taken.
Only one man standing at the very end.
Time out, heroic.
This was a pretty crucial round to pick up, so I think I didn't see someone in the chest.
Maybe there's a quick bathroom situation happening.
The huge round.
These are focus.
What do they have to work with?
Well, that best is going to be a half by.
We're actually maybe even a full save depending on how much
they want to actually have in the next round.
And maybe they want to be able to play with the orc now.
They haven't been able to do that on the CT side yet.
That might be a pretty important factor in helping them in some of these rounds
and how they can approach the rounds.
Often, you can have obviously the AWP guarding the B apartments, for example.
You could have it be more passive and just play further away from it,
or you could have an AWP that's a bit more of an aggressive stance.
Maybe pushing T main.
I mean T main clearances in general even with rifles could actually be quite valuable
if for heroic given that foot have this timing where after the first mid-pressure
at the early timings of the round they sometimes go into a fast maneuver like
mostly T ramp oriented so taking control of that position could be a way to
effectively blow up some of these these A-takes that foot have been relying on so far
I think some sound cues, inviting a challenge, pop flash being set up, some very sneaky positions
that heroic are playing at present, probably not shy to have a look with the AK, as X-Flight
realize he's collided with someone they're all looking for each other now the
kill feed will start to get lit up a big swing from chrisen lightning fast as we
down to a three on three AKs collected by the CC side and demon claiming all this
forward space on the B sites really nice gives a clean out for the B site for
foots and I mean for the heroic side to be honest I mean they're gonna go for
this they'll fall buying in the next round they have a couple AK's 5-7
connection okay now it's time to get a little dangerous do not have a kit
though so they're gonna be really quick it is crossbar should do the damage and
it will no problem for first in the end
It's a pass again!
This is kind of...
This is madness!
Map 3, Overpass, a change in scenery in the server,
and also a change in scenery outside of the server.
Sponge!
He's working on his apology, so he'll be a busy man.
He's got a lot to do. I want at least three pages for the end of this map here,
and luckily, he should have time overpass, often longing out.
It's Malz, who win the knife round.
That's a good thing. I want to try this on the T side.
T side throwing all those names we just got to see they don't have the you to
require to do the piss around we just showed however well they wouldn't do it
again we just showed it why not hmm she's got a good question look you could
run it you could not run it again either way you need a new pistol every day
every day look whoever job it is to come up with that good luck to you
Sonic I think we'll get this one underway with a 2-3 split with the
defenses Torgy and spinks over towards a that's a big name that's a
The meeting night towards year and trouble, mate.
Flash follows up as well. Run, run, run, run, run.
And gun. Torsche takes one with him, but no more.
Spinks escapes, and he does rotate back up, eh?
Yeah, already brolin' up towards dumpster.
It's still gonna rain in sooner rather than later.
Spinks nice timing on the backstab. Only two members of his T-Force left,
but still can pack a punch.
Fun kill falls. Bomb not on site yet.
Worried about this backstab from Spinks.
Look at him duck with exertion, you have to be nice shot.
They're having a chance for Astralis to pull this back, but the timing for exertion is
beautiful and Stare forced to try to combat it, not going to be possible.
That's a name plate.
The name plate counter strike chat, do you think when Astralis sees Spinks get his one
and run down connector they think there's no way he'll come back for more?
It's Spinks.
I am separate.
He's not going to push back up Conn.
It doesn't strike you as the type of player who's willing to take that risk, right
So the fact that you're right and this is the thing when you have players like this the get writes have once upon a time
The happy's who are known to be a little bit more baby subvert that expectation you catch players off guard
There's bro. That's out of raw
For Astralis, so did you get the questions? Donnie from from the other today to ask you about your stack
Like my Pog stack one at no no no what vitamins are you taking?
Very important information here we've been covering with all the players
You know what? I will say I do take fish oil.
Okay. That's pretty much it.
That's a good show, okay.
I don't know who's stuck.
It's very in right now.
Some nice like thyroid medicine, you know.
Okay. All right, that's all good.
Look, that's a specific stack.
I don't know if we'd recommend everybody at home to get on that.
Oh, no, don't do that.
What else do we got?
He's not wearing a whoop, Hugo.
He's worthless.
We can't check about his sleep.
Ooh, rolling.
Put in some T-System. MP7.
What a gun.
It's great. It's the best gun right now. I just buy a second round. I just keep it going into the gun round.
I don't even need an AK or an M4.
I mean, maybe you're just that good, you know?
I wouldn't go that far. I play like a bot today.
I watch a lot of donk pops. He's been buying it a lot lately.
Yeah, he's been loving it.
Spirit, when we had them in Krakow, they were playing like three MP7 rounds.
Magics was like hard running it, bro.
Every round. I mean, dude, he shoots so hard.
6, 7, there we go. Hooks he's going to throw the connector smoke. Harry just showed you all at home. There it is
So that is interesting right the fact you're throwing this but you're not actually going for a short or B
Have you played at least not initially? Oops. Yeah
Especially when you donated a molly you don't like to miss the first one the second one's meant to go top stairs
Always bail it out a con and heading back to B
So maybe it will be a B play after all flash the ready from Brawler and facilitate this mix is also
close by
Abby's in. Oh, a beautifully timed flash, but somehow Abby has to kill trades back and
forth. Does leave a straw for the player advantage, although the advantage, no control towards
that B bomb sideways they wanted to get back out to. So you don't have to shoot when you
see them, Jim.
He's on your screen.
The mouse.
You take your mouse and you click.
That's how it goes. Look at those Vox stickers. Beautiful. What a time to be alive,
I had a dream that I went back in time and told myself to buy 50,000 fox hollows
That would make you that would kind of actually would kind of wreck the supply so that are you right?
Maybe not I need that many do I the economy side of that wouldn't really work
What if I feel like hundred you'll be good. Yeah, that you're right. I think I've sold it. Look at this contact. Hello
Good trade
Rotation already here and brawlin will be on the flank this time spinks chips away now. He just has to live a
and great rotations in for mouse bomb is gonna get planted brolin well it's the
time to stop the bomb not quite but damn it can't collect the kill two HP left
for you I don't deal at all flash over you blinded off spanks does get caught up
by fuzzy though so the IGL the only player left low HP for both of these
These teas can't just make you smoke.
No, you gotta get, you gotta smoke.
Do it.
Sticking it.
We're good.
We're good.
Rain, missing.
Not shooting.
The game of the fuse comes in.
Shoot your gun.
And it gets both the kills.
Shoot your gun, Ryu.
I know he's low.
He's scared of counter spam.
Shoot your gun.
Brolin's had some big moments recently, hasn't he?
He's been playing great.
Yeah.
Great last map.
That is very...
He's all shooting his flipping gun.
Yeah.
Well, look.
Maybe he's a pacifist.
He could kill problem with kindness, maybe I'm not sure this is stop diffusing, please. Yeah
You make him angry Jimmy P
These Twitter account got banned so
No, wait, no, he didn't shoot.
That's it.
He didn't shoot on the guy he was aiming at.
There's a problem for both teams in that round there,
isn't it?
Yeah, a lot of kindness being given.
How many Vox holos would it take you to retire right now, Chad?
They tanked in price?
I have no idea.
Jay Rez, you're on the market.
How's the money with the?
Oh, it's MC.
MC, do you got any Vox holos?
I used to have a whole page.
Oh, man.
I only have one paper, so.
Oh, what's a paper?
A few hundred bucks.
It's like 1,400 or something.
Yeah, it's got a bit of power.
They've walked out, eh?
They have.
So they're trying to exploit long.
They're in.
Yabbi gets this one.
If you peeks.
You've got to shoot again.
You've got to, when you see them,
you usually have to shoot them.
Think about it.
Oh, no.
Consider shooting them.
We're off going.
I mean, at least the bomb gets planted.
They're in a partial.
You take it.
Can you win it?
There's a real discussion to be had.
There is potential.
That's where you swings right into exertion.
That's never gonna go well, and now Hoogsy, tech nine out, all the way back and long.
See if you can collect a gun, get the saving.
He ain't getting anywhere fast with this one, is he?
Yeah, no.
Alright, well, they should just be able to lock this one in.
Four and zero now.
Hoogsy, actually, he's giving it a go, but he's gonna be too late, and, uh, we'll go down with this, all good.
The guns will come out to the next, they'll get towards you back, he's AWP.
Obviously, T side of overpass, we're looking for three or four rounds.
So, slow and steady, you chip it away.
You're in no rush.
So you're gonna rush rush you spoke in a pocket head yet. Hello. No, I have it. No, I rush. Hello. How are you? Oh, I'm doing fantastic
Very nice very nice stay away from Russia the moment. He's not feeling great. Oh
Oh, he's a lot better. Well, listen, I've done Rush for a long time
Stay stay away from Rush for at least a couple of days
Feeling great shake his hand. Yeah, I shake my head share a water bottle with it. Yeah
Kiss him on the lip
You want to take a European strain back to America mate? Just go talk to rush. I'll tell you that much
We're gonna leave a tech boss. So there's plenty of time. Yeah, perfect rush. What are you? What are you gonna do tonight, mate?
That's a good question. I mean you go to the club. I might go club if you want tonight. I'm down
I think Harry might be booking a booth somewhere. So I'm in charge of booking the booth
Oh, yeah, I said I wanted the champagne with the sparklers
I like the champagne with the sparklers man, and maybe some other like drinks and stuff like that
You know, I hope that my apple juice. Yeah. Yeah, I love music. I love drinking
I mean dude, that's like the best of both worlds music drinking
We got a breathalyzer in the studio can we can we test rush
We can check. Okay, we'll have a look. That's for some side content. See if we're gonna breathalyze it for Ashley.
Make him run a whole field sobriety test. Walk the line, do the alphabet. Have you ever had to do that?
Me? Yeah. No. I'm just curious. In America, you guys live in like a wild life.
So I just want to, I want to try. It's a firefighter chat. Don't know if you heard this.
But you're a firefighter. Yes, sir. Not paid. Volunteer. Which is a lot more common in North America.
You don't put in love with the game.
That's what I was saying. I hate fire.
I hate the fire.
Well, you have to be brave. You fight the fire.
Yes.
You say, fire with fire.
Fight fire with fire, unless you're a firefighter.
Because then, like, that would be really bad
for the whole, like, dichotomy of what we're trying to do.
Do you prefer fighting with water or lack of oxygen?
I wanted to ask a question.
Like, when you are fighting the fire, right,
does the smoke actually work? Can you extinguish with it?
I might bring that back to the department. I never thought about that.
Surely there must be some tests done because it works really well at CS.
When they smoke those fire.
Can't you stop a fire if you remove oxygen? They can't be fire.
Yes, but in the context of like a candle, when you're thinking about a house,
because there's always oxygen pumping in through just even between like the floorboards or between the roofing,
Yep, it's I'll let you get a really big blanket. Okay
You know me like a helicopter. See drop it down. Okay, so the world's largest blanket. Uh-huh
All right, that sounds nice. Honestly, we can we can do what we can drum up around here
All right, we're ready to go back underway to catch everybody up. That was on the pistol
Stross look an eco the last first rifle round
They just got a partial the bomb went down back into the guns first
he will get his AWP.
I like saying the mailbag.
We had questions from Conrad,
asking Buckinghead what his stack was.
He was quicker than us.
Get on the stacks and shout at Conrad.
You're tapped in right now.
Torsche's got a stack,
stack of bodies at his feet,
finding Ryu first.
IT on Torsche, I'll tell you that much.
Yeah, low quarters on this.
This is his stressor CT side,
4-0 in the mouse,
and they've got more in store
until exertion gets his head chopped off by Abby.
And once again,
such a big impact player for Astralis,
Abby's been huge,
That's a great way to start off a double early on
Space on that B site Jimmy all most going down towards you there with a quick roadside
However dispatches any initial push for that B bomb site and resets the round
punish
easy
Yeah, we feel like the best B site player for a second there with that double entry without all rotation has committed to be
They played again right Jimmy the anchor up to a sheet noted
still not completely convinced that he's not home so they're being diligent
lobbing in the nades do they give this one a look good flank timing and if
astronomers point open this dust to yesterday with mouths it was scared
he gets this was last round off but it's not as you expect with mice scared of
cats I mean I feel like if Jimmy had any more HP than five there's a real
conversation happens. I was going to do it. I was going to do it. I don't want to. I don't want to.
People make you. The people love it, though. They do love it. They love it. Magix loves it.
Everyone just says a couple numbers on this map. He loves it. It's this whole personality,
really, at this point. They're coming up next, Spirit vs. Bate. You have the Zontics sit
down 40-minute chat, don't you? Zontics and I are actually going to... So obviously,
He's given me his reading list and I've been reading those novels since Krakow into this one
And I've actually written a dissertation about the last two books
He's read and we're gonna have a lengthy conversation about the moral implications. Wow those of those literature novels
I don't read I can't read in Australia. There's no reading
And yeah, yeah, they give us Hooligan's knowledge. It's all over
The Brits sent us down there for a reason
Fahrenheit 451, you know what that book's about?
Firefighters burning books.
The movie.
It's also a book.
Or that's also a movie, excuse me.
I think it's in the movie.
Yeah, but those type of firefighters,
I don't like those ones.
They like fire.
I hate fire.
See, Hugo?
So they fight with the fire.
Yeah, they fight.
Now, fighters of fire.
Yeah.
It's like an avatar character, except, oh, you know,
there's another show about that.
The firefighter anime, I don't want.
Fire Force.
There you go.
That's your anime guy. It's all this guy.
Yeah, hey, you don't watch anime. All Lord of the Rings.
Dude!
We can't go there.
Yeah, this is an important map. This is map 3.
It's true.
It's hard.
This decides who goes through.
Oh, and the branches.
Overpass. There's lots of time to talk.
Yeah, a lot of time to watch Lord of the Rings, probably, if you...
That's true.
Load up. Extended edition.
Are we waiting for somebody to click that button on their mouse?
There's been a lot of...
Oh, not that.
Oh, can't be looking happy on an awkward timing court.
Oh, and there's a flash push from Spinks.
Get him again! Spinks is missed a repeat today,
and it's paying off diligently. 2v4 safe!
You don't want it to be a save, but you're probably right.
40 seconds.
They're gonna give it a little bit of look,
see if I can over-stand their welcome.
Give us a reason.
Surely they should say mouse doesn't.
Mouse isn't the type of team that's gonna...
over-aggressing the situation like this although I mean you till going out
I don't know why they're doing this I don't think it's the right call
keeping up pressure hope I kill comes in but
you didn't believe in your own molly I mean kill did come in just not the kill
they were hoping for Jimmy's hearing this you might try to have this down
get him oh Jimmy
not gonna kill him okay well here we're 10 AWP
I suppose you'll like that. And that'll be that. Okay. 521 at mouse. Suffocating that
fire. A Bruin and the Astralis players. Hearts right now. I didn't think today, coming into
this match, we would even be on the third map if I'm going to be honest. So I'm surprised.
Did you think overpass would be the third map though? The first pick kind of surprise.
So that was the thing, right? I looked at it and I thought to myself, okay, Trace
did accidentally ask Torgie yesterday in the interview, will we see ancient? He
He meant the Nubis, but then told you like, G'd up there ancient anyway, right?
So, yeah, he did meet it.
But they lost it.
So, did he really meet it?
I'm not sure.
Well, that first half had me.
Yeah.
Well, that's true.
We're on the hook.
Oh.
Oh, he's got hooks.
Yeah, he's got hooks.
Yeah, oh, bang.
So, Ozzy, it's a bit of a quiet series so far.
I feel like a player that, you know, doesn't need to be there for those higher
pressure moments with impact and beat the economy of Astralis throughout this
series or be it you know just a little bit lack of really trying to get
aggressive get those kills foesies just not he's the late-round master but
unfortunately when your whole team is dead yeah it's hard to do yeah Harry has a
rule though if it's foesie and Ryu alive they're winning the round it's
true to VX they've got it it's a new zonics law hey you know what can't
go against that. Unfortunately this round uh that's not gonna happen. He's dead.
Debbie's out. Again beautiful shots from him. Good old series blows open the smoke
trying to push towards Toxic. It catches the head. Alright now we're gonna have a
conversation three on three. Abby dancing around the pillar. Who knows is a
player in the smoke? Exertion tries to catch the timing on Hoopsy not gonna
work and now with the bomb planting will be a three on two.
Oh, yabby. I'm liking it. I'm liking it.
Alright, 6-1. Sorry, 5-2. Counting the wrong way.
The 6-1 that looked like it should have ended, that was a 5v3 situation gentlemen.
That's not the type of round you can be losing here if you mouse.
Yabby wins it. Great comms as well.
Realized that a player had snuck through that smoke, hands it over.
That was a nothing but this AWP and they really really want this AWP
Yeah money 300 left in the bank for Jimmy 3.5 for spinks of his loss bonus bottom of the barrel 4.3 for toji
He'll be able to drop if he stays alive. Who's he chasing this one down?
So this is the difference between a good looking buy or not
Toji will retain
So he can look out with an m4 spinks by himself Jimmy's the man who needs it probably the most I'd say
Brolin can maybe take the nades off of Jimmy Jimmy just take the rifle to anchor down monster
Brolin can get the nades to play rotation, and it should be all good in the hood for the mouse by.
So let's see if they can maintain the economy before broken, but that's not the type of round.
If I'm cycling, I'm happy with the boys losing, right?
You get two opening kills, comes in relatively easy, and then you end up fumbling the bag on that one.
And I'm going to Strolls, considering a T-set star on over the past. A pretty good half so far.
Two rounds in.
You're really looking for that, like, four mark, I feel like, is really a good place to find yourself at.
So if they win this they can essentially get the fall for free
You have the out aggressive again falls back
Trying to make mouths uncomfortable
In this defense that's one of the keys there right yabby's not doing a lot of this alone
He's being set up with you so which is is the key because a lot of times you just see like a 1 1 3 default spread here
They're using the facilitator hook see
Trying to assist to get a space
Uh-oh.
Ooh, timing.
Not quite in Daisy's favor.
Although Spinks surely should be caught out soon.
Three as well.
I think it's clear.
I think it's clear.
Oh no.
Only one.
Spinks coming back down.
He's still unknown.
They don't know.
They have no clue right now.
As the escape shore gets punished,
Spinks is begging them to come be.
Aw.
Those are looking this way.
One.
And there it goes double dropped even he's surprised
Will seal the round here for miles Spinks is having one hell of a series
I'm not sure of re-missed his Molly or not, but he could have thrown it differently, right?
He might have thrown it to clear out the the well as opposed to the lip of the stairs there
But that's the only reason I'd assume they think it's clear otherwise why why would you not be considering that at all?
Nobody actually gone around that angle again
And it could just be the Miss Molly, but it's costly because that could have been a Strass' chance into this, so 6-2.
Timeout taken.
Interestingly, it's a mouse timeout.
What do you think it said?
You know, sometimes you just get a pocket.
It could be okay to be prepared for this type of a pocket strat.
Maybe it was to calm down a little bit.
I wasn't that a pick of a round I
They've just given 30 seconds over to response to talk things through
And they bought
Yeah, okay
Well take nine to a case to galil's decent amount of you to work with but let's see if it is more direct and if it is
That's so I can call them into they essentially has they're playing for me
So they are playing right now to counter a bee pop
That won't be the plate at least not right now
Gabby's walking in.
Get out again!
Gabby's always good for that opener.
Honestly, it puts miles in a situation where they really have to rethink the setup they got going on.
Astralis won't do much more to aggress, although Hooksy wants to just make some noise.
Instead, the real crux of this round is going to be focused towards the outside of Bathurst.
Still only Torsche.
Rotation coming up, Spanx. Seems to know it's up. First kill does fall in the lava towards
it. So even numbers again.
Smoking a flash to finish it. Hooks in, Yevy's still B. 50 seconds left. I think you have
to finish B. Don't think you don't have enough and you don't want to go into an
AWP, right? If he gets another, gets away, hides a die, hides a truck. There's the
The lurksmoke, front sight.
Wow.
Look at this.
Who would've thought?
And if you jump throw it lands bank.
Hey, how'd you know that?
I know a guy.
A happy accident.
I got a smoked guy.
Are they still going to end here?
I think it's a fake, right?
Send him in, hope he gets a kill, then the B players play.
Okay, well definitely no kill to fall in, but...
Yabby does a grass.
They did rotate.
No, Jimmy's dropping in.
I ain't falling for that.
They think exertion solo on the site. He's got support. It's got his friends. They're bigger than your friends. They're here to beat you up
Spinks still putting on multi kills. Yeah, but what if they know like no jiu-jitsu, and they're small. That's true a stocky guy
That's scary. They're kicking the shit out of Astralis right now. So oh
Speaking of that, I don't know if you heard it from the previous cast, but who's on budge?
Hoaxies the headshot machine now. Oh, okay. We missed that. Did you get that bit? No? No? Yeah?
He was there. I didn't get that. I missed that bit. I'm not sure he proved it. Okay. Oh, no
He got like three. He got like three headshots in the map for a total. Yeah
Get a scale when I was really excited
machine-like in a way fair enough
Well, Strolls once again the money is just not in their favor
See this is where that scoreline you were pointing out really comes into play now doesn't it because it will be the only thing available
Because this eco it's gonna be a to two then they need to e-card the final two rounds. It's just too easy
HLTV's behind by four minutes because we're online, but opening kill-wise, Yabi's got the only real
Notable ones, otherwise it's probably they just getting peaced out
Two kills, a little bit of fight, hook, CNA. How do you get there Rush? Do you teleport?
He just sprinted long while Torgie was fighting. Kind of dirty to be honest. Watch this.
Is there another one Rush? I think so.
What's this?
See what?
Reload's coming.
The other two are still a B.
Yeah, they are, but they're coming.
So is Christmas.
Yeah.
How about my birthday?
24th of March.
Yeah.
Oh wow, happy birthday.
1992.
Thank you.
92?
Old.
No, not 92.
Come on.
94?
93.
Yeah.
Still pretty old.
And that's round.
That might be a good clock.
All right.
I'll give some respect to the headshot machine.
All right.
got this all right first kill aligned up beautifully tapped away didn't have a
head shot but he hit him in the head and they still lost the round but at least
barely that was damn close already kept off for a moment longer
Chad you're on the money by the way they're opening kills right ten rounds of
play was eight seven to three okay two of them from Yappie okay it just yeah it
just wasn't they're walking into the Opelaw or Spinks has been really good
of being annoying so those two over to what's a it's doing a great job hook
He knows right now he's getting on the mic. He said listen boys on the giga chat and if you're gonna listen to anyone in this world
It should be me tell the coach to shut up because I'm talking right now
We just need two more rounds and we'll even work with one so listen. We've got everything we want with the AK
Is the AWP we cannot be giving way opening picks to spinks and towards you on that side of the map
Let's use our AWP to lock down long
So a couple of flashes when we're taking these angles and let's just get the space so I can call a round finisher
Cuz it's tough right now. It's one thing for sphinx to do this on T side mirage on ramp, but he's got no grenades right now
Yeah, just go through this one maybe some college. I don't oh, yeah, they're next to dice. Yeah, okay
So he's gonna run at them. I like it. I like it a lot. It's getting in there. You can't default with sphinxes in your face
We're pushing up towards Fallon not gonna have anyone on that initial conduct should hear
Hello, I'm fozie completely caught off stare does trade back
That's when Stare has to say sorry.
I mean, opera going out of the round is a really huge pick up.
It was a bit crazy for Foozie, but...
Yeah, I don't know exactly what the goal was.
Not expecting a player to take fans on like that, but Spinks has got new ideas.
If you went one for one, I think that would have been okay.
But the fact you lost someone over towards B as well,
because Yabi was making a play, they were trying to make plays across the...
He gets spammed through Monster.
So a little bit more problematic now.
whoopsie daisy
I've seen them all the time before
hey look they're using all the youths oh yeah we shot all of them
ah well we don't know how much
we're watching the demos
theory session is going well
silent drop down two players ready
where does B hit to come in brolin
gonna take the first contact as his teammate is tucked in toxic
beautiful
people headshot smoke goes down
They got a clear exertion. That's the money question. Of course not
Everyone playing at home fun fact check your corners because if you know things like this happens a double spray down mouse
Still on a roll nine to two shoot your insurance policy
Shooting the smoke. Yeah, I was wondering. You're right. What it could have been chat. Yeah, what the half could look like
It could have been that was what round three or round four
What a mouse doing this thing when they lose the first map and then they're dominant in the next to this happened yesterday as well
Oh, the whole thing is the new bitmounds are doing they did they did the same thing as all to dominant opening
They chose
Some fun
I just made the opening half of the series okay eight four to yesterday nine three today
Oh, they're throwing B rush utility here lurks smoke wood molly short molly. Oh great looks right I
Wonder if that's rather same because I had to have to create my you made that up. Yeah, I didn't watch it in the demo that one
Not that I myself looks good
It is a sink
Whatever is in Astralis a stack they might not be taking enough because two rounds will not suffice on the T side
No, I mean even if they secure the third one here. It could definitely be a worse half, but
You're gonna be up against the wall going into the second half
Brolin will be back in
Time knows going up to a
Okay, can they do this with two men on this B site?
Ben, amen.
Push death upon he.
He doesn't cry no more.
Although he does go down after one kill.
So, strawlers do enter the B bomb site with the player advantage.
Rollin' smoked off.
We'll be able to get the bomb plant down.
Rotation's coming in.
Maybe there is a world where we can have a discussion
about a third round.
Especially because TORZEN pushed the site line.
Beautiful shot from the headshot machine.
Rollin trades back immediately.
We are. Don't count Mao's out yet.
Looked good all day so far, but drops the kill, and as Torsi falls, it is once again a 9-3-1-1-2.
We have to see if Mao's are able to take advantage of it this time, or if it'll be a repeat of map 1.
And baby, don't let go
Let the light go
Don't wanna take you out of the way
I'm feeling that
And you may be so, you may be so
I've got a gun that would charge you
I'm missing something like a set
And I'm not gonna let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
On my bed, you're my-
On my bed, you're my-
On my bed, you're my-
On my bed, you're my-
On my bed
In the party things
Oh, I see my heart's going
Feeling in my body, baby
Oh, I see my heart's going
Feeling in my body, baby
Oh, I see my heart's going
Feeling in my body, baby
Someone has my heart
Someone has my heart
Just wanna do those things
I'll get better at this body, but I'll have to care about the taste for it
It's gonna be like you can't do it for me
We can do whatever we want, but I'll have to make it so good
I feel like a small song, but I know I'm a small song
Just wanna go, go, go, go
I'm a Christian, baby girl
You can make your taste for it, but I'll have to care about the taste for it
We're coming, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one
Get in my body, baby
And what you came for is what you came for
So, you sit on the floor, and you can find escape
Don't know why, but the machine's taking down the place here
And what you came for is what you came for
We're the one and one and one
I'm the one and one, I'm the one and one
nine to three we did see this happen over on map one where at the end of the day they
did choke that lead away and allow us to get a map in this series we have to see if
that's something that can repeat itself I wouldn't say three rounds is terrible not
terrible yeah it's not good it's not great it's okay but this is the thing this is
the thing
This is like the worst series, I think. Two maps in a row. I've played in this team. Let's do a fucking redemption for me, okay?
Okay, three of you wants to do one more stuff there. Two of the worst. That's a big call.
Redemption.
Well, listen. If you're a strafist, you play a lot of Overpass. This is your 15th Overpass this year with this roster.
You know a 9-3 scoreline is pretty damn common.
So your job is to dig this out.
CT side, win the pistol, win the force, win the eco, flash it!
And, um...
Well...
Fourth map of the series is of course.
Yep.
Yeah, uh, not a hot start if you want to secure a pistol round.
However...
This is over.
I don't want to be that guy.
You've already...
No, not for you.
Hoopsy knows what's up. He did get gushed. Which isn't great.
You could say... terrible.
Save.
Imagine.
Save the dual burrowed as an armor. Save the flashbang.
Why not? Yeah, be good to try to get something done with these doolies.
Although with the smoke blocking at the site, no one can really access any point.
Rolling, dancing around the pillar.
Gonna get swarmed by the CTs, although no kills will fall. Oh, stair, okay, nice little
double. I mean, it's really just for fluff at this point. Three kills might get your emotions
a little bit better.
Did he have armor then, stair? No, stair drop. He was the only drop though. I was gonna
say if he saved, that's an M4 with Kevlar. It's all good. You could do a drop and
M4.
Well, we maybe have an eco-channel. I wanna read this real bad question. Yes. Yes.
This is Hatchie. I'd like to hear what you have to say. Hello, my name is Victor.
Hello, Victor.
player from Denmark. I recently reached face-hit level 10. Congratulations! I'm going to have
2,000 counter strikes in a month. I was wondering, is it too late for me to try and become a professional
player and join a competitive team? If it's still possible, what would you recommend as the best
path to get noticed and find a serious team? Okay, Victor, you're only 16, so it's definitely
not too late, but you haven't been playing any team-based counter-strike, although we're going to
going to have a farm fest here. That's fine, maybe not.
Hello. Okay, so most of your counter strike is going to be through the valve matchmaking
system and obviously base it as you've just highlighted here. What I would, I think Denmark
has a pretty strong infrastructure as far as team-based counter strikes are concerned.
So I don't know what the programs are that exist in Denmark that you can get involved
but I'm sure you could find them pretty easily. I would say start getting involved in team-based CS,
right? Because I imagine you're going to have good base level mechanics. You're 16 and you're playing
a lot of counter strikes. So your crosshair placement, your aim, all of those things are
going to be up there. What is going to be the difference between you and everybody else is how
you conduct yourself as a human being. At the time of person you are and then there's certain
things that you control and that you can't, right? Your communication, your attitude,
right? Those things, they're not anything to do with your crosshair and its placement,
but they're still huge in terms of what you can give as an individual in a Counter-Strike team.
So my first recommendation would be look for what exists in Denmark, what schools of Counter-Strike
thought you could get into, and then if you struggle with that, it used to be easy back in my day.
I mean, you know, I like what you're doing about the like being a good person, but also
try and find people you can play with in ESEA, try and get into competitive play.
that's not just playing pugs. Yeah, because I think that's the, sure, with academy teams these
days, you're probably going to want to get in a system like that so you can be bettered in on what
needs to happen, right, or what the culture of a team or the way a team plays. But otherwise,
yeah, if you're able to get in team structured counter strike on any level, it plays very
differently to pugs, yes. So that would be my first recommend. It's definitely not too late,
you're 16, but I will say this, you need to be nice to your mum and you need to finish high
High School. Yeah. Anything else after that, when you're an 18, 19 year old man, you can
figure it out, right? If you want to give it a crack, as long as you finish High School
and you're nice to your parents, I think it's okay. I think it's a very good life. That's
the baseline. Play team. And play team CS. 16. That's a good that's a good Asia. Ask
the question. It's not too. It's probably just beginning. You could get good now.
So good luck to you, Victor.
We'll see you at ESL Pro League, maybe one day.
Season 42.
Actually, that's a bit far away.
I was going to say, like 32 maybe.
That's not that far.
But from one ESCA player to an ESCA caster, take it away.
Look at that.
Oh, what a segue.
Alright, well, 11-3 to score a line.
Astralis need to secure this gun round.
I mean, basically this entire series hangs in the balance.
basically it does. A decent start. 4v4 as Malos kind of recollects their thoughts
they're grouping back up back towards T-gon. Aggression out from the CTs here
into bathrooms is good with the timing. A minute left you're gonna have the clear
out in bathrooms. No at least a little bit of an idea of where Astralis is
trying to play. There's even now just trying to play too. Exertion though.
barely knows exactly where Hooxie is 180 headshot 15 and 5 good from exertion
Sphinx has been on one as well this is where I usually tell you go to wrap it
up well we got a bit of a walk it in situation for miles they've had a
great series across the board if you ignore that second half of ancient
mouse is popping in flash up high instead does provide one kill is not enough
so Ryu can he redeem redemption arc already ending in this round and so
So will Astralis' hopes, unless Fuzi 3 and 11 had a poor series from the two international
pieces of Astralis, and it might get worse before it gets better, jumping in over the
top, no kits.
The mouse is waiting, hiding out.
Don't need to give him this fight.
Fuzi's got to force it.
They're dancing.
Darn it, death.
Fuzi hits one more before all is said and done.
Don't overcook Torsi!
What's he looking for, a kit, a molly, that's something that Torsi can run through.
Oh my god. No way. No way.
Oh, it's no way.
You ran back. You ran back.
You didn't run through. You ran away.
Hey! It's been time to save the day.
He almost overcooked.
I would say he did overcook.
Lucky to pick up that round at the end,
but either way,
serious point is serious point.
That's actually what year 1B1.
He knew he had time.
time. Calculator, only 7 seconds, bombs 10 seconds Chad.
I feel like foes even get a bit confused in that situation. Like how am I 9 seconds into
this dispute? What can you do? Well it is the end of the road for Astralis today. I'll
play again tomorrow and they could even play again the next day. Oh everyone gets
be one and one. So you get a bunch of games here. That's what we all love. Lots of games
account. Up next. Don't. I don't know. I'm on the scissi train, bro. Yeah, but have you
considered Donk? I'm a big Donk fan. Everyone's a Donk fan. I think everyone has to be a
Donk fan, but Sizi
Yes, this is cool, but
Donk 95 kill face again. Is that the record?
It's not gonna be closed. I mean people have had longer games
So I guess not like someone's had a longer game. I'll see how I wonder how we work it out with that rounds played to
Oh, he had like two KPR or something. Geez
All right, well, uh, I will say this one is done dusted all over a red rover
Okay, head wrap it up
All right, you know, let's build a little bit of hype real
Situation this is not a wrap MP7 see you need a wrap
But a lot is going in towards that. Oh my god. Are you gonna position is perfectly there?
You're gonna save it the MP7 getting a double kill spray down low HP player going in first first kill secured
That's all she wrote 13 to 3. That's GG is now secure a two to one series victory over
For Astralis, they find themselves in the 2-0 pool as Astralis drop down to that 1-1.
You might have missed it yesterday, you probably did, you were travelling.
I sent the Maus, guaranteed to be in the grand final.
So this is guaranteed.
I love that.
Guaranteed to be in the grand final.
Strong.
Maus vs. Spirit grand final coming everyone's way in about a week in a bit of time.
What is it?
Saturday today?
Yes.
So we literally lost in that grand final in a week in a day's time.
That's fantastic.
Congratulations on your grand final, Maus.
You just got to play a few more games to get there.
Now, when they get a tougher opponent tomorrow, who do you think will win?
They will lose the opening map
They'll at least go a4 up before they do
The classic road for that's in
It's definitely a pattern here for now's ever this is it right now's keeping up the consistency that we expect
They look they did have to go
Also, I will say this the kill count doesn't do him justice
But I think Jimmy's impact has been really good in these two games like he's being better this year than lots
I'll say that I'll say that into this series wasn't Jimmy the highest rate of player in stage two so far
Isn't that what Henry was saying? They could have been
Okay, other players are available still sounds like a fact Henry G coming in hot here
Go on in boys come take a seat. Well, we end that game and donkeys obviously the highest rates
It sphinx is right behind a sphinx great game as well. Henry. What do you think?
I thought he looked gray on the first two maps didn't watch the third
It's great on the score line when I looked like he was a done deal. Yeah, I mean, it's a fair point. You can go Harry
What do you think? Oh?
We like to have fun around here. I have a lot of fun. Yeah
Thank you. Does any email come in for Harry's haircut today?
No, not about his head. It's been a couple of a bucket had used the email DHL mailbag at EFG dot gg
Let me see if I can find one here quickly. We are gonna wrap this up. We'll go to a break. We'll come back
We'll get into the next series
Donk versus Sizi everyone's right wait. No way. I was gonna read an email first. They're playing us off
It's just ambiance
Anything about my only there's a question. Do you know about hi HFT? Why?
It's thanks to the firefighting. I don't know what it means
H F H I
H F I doesn't smell any bad
If I
Hip-tif I might just be a it might be a bad firefighter, but I have no idea what you're talking. Okay. What else we got here?
Oh, yeah, you're right. That's cause you saw Connor's email about the stack
Someone emailed in called Connor asking about bucket head stack
Oh, yes to it. Yeah
Grayson, he's named Ping. Do you know Ping? Yeah, okay Ping says shout out to Donnie
And he says do they have green tea shots in Sweden?
I don't know. I haven't ventured yet. It was a travel day yesterday, so I was asleep. Okay
We'll see if we get any more emails coming. Do you have to wait to check in at the hotel?
Yeah, I got there at like
11 my check-in was until three I didn't sleep at all on the flight
Did they give you the option to pay to check in? Oh, yeah, and I you were like I'm holding on
Dude mine was half an hour early, and I paid and I felt like I got really how much you've actually paid off now
It was like 20 euros wait when you already checked in and say no your PC in there
No, you got they didn't they didn't do a different hole that I didn't put my PC in there
It's it's everybody but yanker and house and I really wanted to go have a nap
And I'm like I could sleep in the lobby, but then someone's gonna steal my trousers. Oh, son
I don't want that fair enough. All right. Let's uh, it's fun. Let's wrap this up. We have fun around it
We have fun on cup next don't Sissy dog
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

But here he is with some nasty frags tying up the numbers.
Still only Glocks for Furia, not opting for a P250, at least that I noticed in this pistol round.
I can't comment on the players who have passed already, but Makka has gone for the information
play.
Now, again, Furia, dictate that pace.
Furia had their smoke, so they could actually go to B and smoke CT.
That is a possibility.
So if that's what happens, Makka's play here doesn't end up helping out too much, depending
on the timing.
not looking too too bad and gravity's in a spot the cat play, but yeah, they can still drop down back into mid
That's an option. They might decide to do that. Okay, they're gonna turn back into Macca if they can take him out
That'll be a huge kill
Now they go back to to a
Yeah, I think they know that if they can take out Macca be the B bomb site is open
They can do it eventually but the CTs ever had time to get closer and surely case right
So it's gonna get off to the races with the bomb
He's going to try and defy belief and go towards the A bomb site
So where do these CTs go case or after hops around the corner? Are there sound cues for the CTs?
Well, he did actually make a little noise there
But it's not going back and forth trying to figure out which way to go shifting towards B
When will they realize these are pressure seconds without the kit?
Both coming in from CT spawn
What angle does case or after opt to take how does he find the one people when he's got plenty of sound cues
They're almost lining up for him. There will be a trade from the suits up job done with the 3d max. Oh
My god, that was that was almost almost a ridiculous timing
But the bomb goes down and so that is actually of course a very dangerous following round now
you're gonna get to peace buying up and
It's gonna be interesting to see what 3d max do for their opening
Because often times with these rangers, you tend to sacrifice getting some utility and
just often to get the M4s so you can fight better at the range of the ranges of Dust 2.
That can be kind of awful.
Imagine, imagine if you pick that one up.
Look at that, you know how important that is.
They know they're in for a big fight here.
That's when you know you're an underdog and you've had the start that you really
needs. So you have two nades left for the CTs, two smokes, and a flashbang. They're going
That's going to send it be.
Open sesame in they go lucky is super blind and that gives them position to trade.
Once his first frag comes through once I've taken many losses for the CTs.
Bell rung through the door.
But it seems they might not fancy going for this one.
that is a lot lost very quickly indeed and it's almost prop hunts now just
trying to hide as much as possible always good to see the French in
Counter-Strike
get a long history long history of French Counter-Strike being right at the
I still miss existence, I still miss insistence. I'm sorry, but I do.
Caution in Valorant, I believe.
How many people have been chat-liked? Who's existence?
Do you mean NBK?
I think that NBK, did he coach him? No, it was Happy. Happy coaches in Valorant as well.
Another French... famous French in Game Leader.
There's a good base.
Resistance played in the days where you might drop an AK to pick up a silenced M4 and a
T-slap.
That long ago.
Uriah looking to have a way better start than they did against Bates, where they struggled
to get any rhythm going.
They've successfully forced away the CTs from Kat, so now the options of going for
the late one we take or dropping into the B-split all become possibilities that the CTs
have to figure out like which one is it going to be.
The gamble stack on A though.
How many questions will Furia ask before our full commitments?
He's got sound cues, the chain flashes though, is the chain flashes are timed so so well,
Bing Bong, he eats a huge flash, Makka eats a huge headshot, there are more frags here
for the 3D max side, we got a fight on our hands and they've got some weird angles
which are going to be hard for Furey to deal with, starting to rotate over at least
your kinder will always shifting back. He's trying to bake rotation at least in parts.
This will pull some players out of position and make things way better. Fallen spoke about
Pinocchio strats in an interview, one of the clips on the stream, and there's a perfect
example. Even if not everybody rotates over towards B, it's a mere fact that your kinder
running into B halls and shifting back just weakens the stampede of players that were on
that a bombsite and makes it a little easier. The small details just open the door in ways
that otherwise would not exist for Furia. It's also really cool too because if you think
about how heroic played this, really max still in the series. If you think about how 3D
Max played this round two, they stacked the A site and that kind of makes you impervious
to what the other team's doing, where they are putting you in a spot where you're having
to try to guess what they're doing based off of the information. Instead of just saying,
I actually don't care what information you show me. We're just holding this format stack
on the A site. It's only after the CTs get contact, get a couple of kills that they're
like, okay, now we can start reacting off to the information. And then still, like
you say, if all this throwing in the fake there, the little fake to create timing.
So, yeah, a lot of cool stuff in that round from an information perspective and Furia.
It could be really really difficult to deal with if they keep kind of getting, if Fallen
keeps getting the wins here from the in-game leader battle, that's going to be tough now
that Molotov's got an ult too.
Another phrase for non-Furia teams might be a what-if play.
Here we are offering some what ifs to outmaneuver their opponents.
Suta collecting an AK on Long.
This is really good map control early for FWD Max.
Gravity absolutely needs to stay alive.
disengaging from that mid position entirely.
I wonder if they might boost him behind that double stack
in CT spawn.
But he'll be fielded towards shorts.
But there is much interest from the CTs.
Four CTs here, long as being abandoned.
How far will they pursue this?
Oh, the bait is brilliant.
Pulled across there away, abused the numbers,
3D Max, fly thing back,
taking everything away from Furia.
I love the disruptive plays from 3D Max there, really good just slowing down the momentum
that was building for Furia is always going to be good, so hard to also find the right
rounds to do that, to be aggressive in like where and what timings.
tech pause coming in, thought it was maybe going to be a furia tactical but it's actually
a tech related issue.
Come on nail bites watch, because every match we see someone nail biting during the pauses
at the freeze time etc so I'm just waiting to see when, not if it happens in this game.
One's doing it, James.
You could almost make an evergreen segment, will they bite, where in chat they can put
a wire on end to see are they going to bite them or are they going to click.
The dispatch is back and looking better than ever.
Oi!
Get some of them!
On your new wheel!
This season it's bigger deliveries.
It's a life you go.
Bigger personalities.
in bigger problems.
Traits!
Featuring special guests.
Alex, what the hell is happening?
And of course, the team you know and love.
Is this really necessary?
There it is!
I'm not gonna kill you!
I'm not gonna kill you!
The Dispatch, the all-new season, premieres February.
ESL presents the ESL Pro League in partnership with Intel, Acer Predator, DHL, Zoe, and Chattis.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. ESL Pro League is here and Harry Russell will
he sink the parts? No, he's gone a little bit short. You hate to see it, but you do
love to see our upcoming match here spirit taking on baits last game of the day. I'm joined by an
all-star cast here. Harry Russell Hugo Barron and Mr Buckethead. How are we doing gents? Fantastic
and we're getting ready for the big match of the day Henry. Is it the match of the day? It might.
It's one of the matches of the day. I don't think that mouse game really delivered like mouse
played well. Happy for them I guess but this could be more competitive. They across the board
are great but spirit's peak is up top. Before we get into all that I want to unpack a few
think all of those things being the mailbag harry if someone to send a
message or a question to Buckhead what's the email address to get involved
DHL mailbag at EFG.gg that's the place you can do it
you can send any question you want we will answer any of it. Exactly, so if you're doing for Buckhead only today, I was happy for the next two days so join me for the fun
I believe we have a mail to open right now so this is all Rush, Rush are you with us and J-Razz an MC
We might have rush. Hello little guy, right? Yes. Can you read this to me? What does it say in the glasses? Hello big J and little guy
I have a question regarding crosshairs. I've watched many tournaments many highlights replays and so on is why color crosshair being used because
There is some rule for it
Or is it the best color that fits across all maps in Counter Strike?
What would be the second best color to use? Thank you in advance. You guys are doing T tours great
Oh, thank you. Well, honestly, like we used to use green back in the day a long time ago
But then the in-game team
Expanded quite a bit where you gain some new members the Vlads. I like to call them
They were called Vlad and they push for the white crosshair back then and we've pretty much stuck with it for consistency
I'm sure no like my only thought on that is the flashbangs of white
You wouldn't play a white crosshair because you get lost in that kind of why we have the draw outline
Okay, oh no where is the middle of my story?
Crosshead could be anywhere. Maybe if you Harry know what a recoil someone told me when I was like when I was a pro long long time ago
They told me in terms of reaction time in the human brain having the color yellow on your screen helps with reaction time
I don't know if that's true
There is there would be a brain theory there right it's like a lot of video games put yellow is like the eye-catching
Like go this way color, you know, okay?
Yeah, so maybe there's some science to it, but that's all I've already got to follow that up
So our YouTube thumbnails went through like a period of having the yellow thick outlined writing for a long time
Okay, is the most eye-catching color. Wow. Yes, I also did that. We've got some good answers there
Yeah, um, all right, so yellow rush give it a try put it on
Yeah, the problem with that is like when you play like mirage and stuff like that it does
Blending quite a bit. That's what we've got draw outline
We try follow recoil this game rush. Oh, I would love it. I will have
Please come on we play parks together you can see I use it
Pretty nice. Can we try one map? We could put on a bit. Oh, yeah, maybe a few gun rounds
I'd love to see the dog with follow recoil. That would be a lot of fun people are gonna hate this bar
Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, no. Oh, no people are upset
I'm saying the cross is not that important. See all this. It was a bit of bullying. Okay, boys spirit fates
In my mind surely a 2-0, but pro league doesn't seem to be the case. We've seen good three maps a lot these days
They online eight and their new roster are looking pretty sharp. Is there a chance it today?
Sizi is the new or probably more of a city. I was telling me 16 years old 16 years
No profile picture on HLTV, no experience, no experience with apparently his lights out.
He looked really good, obviously he's got a full shot in some aspects, I only watched
one game of him and he was not the problem for this team back in Cluj.
It's also, it's a potential great mechanics, no experience, we'll have to see if he
can get used to it.
We watched the games because we only got to custom to one time and in our game
it was kind of weird.
It wasn't a problem, but it wasn't a huge issue, it just like wasn't out of
as well, but then I wouldn't be rewatching the other games and actually he was like really really really good
So I think we just got him on like a slower day
And what are we making of team spirit right now back ahead?
Where are they on your radar? Are they looking like they're on the open up?
I don't see roster. Yeah, Donk is there, but his magic is the in-game leader
Is that gonna be enough to win a championship here at ESL Pro League?
I mean, I think they're definitely if not the number one team the number two team
They're gonna consider going to win this trophy as we mentioned before fallen not gonna be in playoffs assuming fury
It does make it so that in my eyes completely eliminates them from real title contention
spirit I have to say magics is
It seems that magics is doing better than people would have thought
In my eyes at least I feel like you know, there was a whole he's a vibes merchant though
He is a vibes merchant, but when you're on a team like spirit and
The players are playing well. Yeah, that's really good. Yep. The problem is when the players are playing bad
That's when it can really get to some contentious moments
And I think they're going for the Nuke pick, right?
This is something that Spirit actually kind of struggled with back in the past,
but one of the few games we've seen of Magix leading them on Nuke,
he's actually looked quite exciting.
They've had some cool ideas on T-Sites.
So maybe some redemption.
We've got a Donk online cam.
Always fun to watch.
Donk smiling away.
He does sometimes rage in these online games.
What Donk do we get today as Spirit take on bait?
Ladies and gentlemen, fuck where you see belts.
We're in for a bumpy ride here.
Spirit take on baits, and it will be a CT start.
for the favorites here but the plucky underdogs more than willing to take on this challenge
interest in this you will see what scissor can call to the table but that's pretty to near
shiro opening things up and an early spirit advantage and completely puts the brakes on debate
wanted to get a little bit more aggressive on cap but the shot through the smoke
halted that shiro nice double up headshot with those little baredas trying to find another one
does eventually you trade it out by alex and they're kind of stuck in the connector right
Right now, magic's happening away.
Although, two kills fall in favor of bait, so it's two on two.
I'm still not planted.
Rotation's coming in through CT.
Where's Zontik's going?
I guess they're both gonna go for murder hole.
I'd be able to catch him off guard.
There is a kit in play for Xonix.
You'd expect CT here.
So they have to reposition quickly.
Flashbang available.
The kit's in play as well.
The bomb owner just going down.
half a pound you'd favor team spirit in this one, but good positioning from Bates.
And instead of playing towards him with...
Oh, OK!
Shots, that is. Wow.
There he goes.
Sizzy in the server and a flick vertical to find Bates, that pistol.
Those are some confidence building frags right there.
Big frags.
Huge, sizable for Sizzy.
Large.
So the thing is, though.
We have. Anyone else?
We have.
I know we're going to see Desert Eagles.
Oh, you're going to see an MP7, an MP9, a 5-7.
Harry, the don't eagle.
Yeah, it's a rare sight.
We like it when Donk is relegated to a D.
Because so often, man, he gets dropped all these bloody guns.
Zeus was right all those years ago.
It's way more fun watching the star with a eagle.
And Zeus Walker around Edward with a K.
I was losing my mind in that era. I commented about all their games and that was...
Zeus! He does something!
I caught it lying in a way.
Well, speaking of doing something, MPL will open up the round with a nice kill. He does something, sure, out.
It's near a decent position, though. Might be able to...
Catch MPL off guard, especially with Donk up top as well. He falls back. Besides, better of it.
Make control completely conceded for the CTs.
And potentially a bit of a gamble stack.
It's gonna take something quite special here for Team Spirit to get back into this round.
The Util's pretty much completely gone. One flashbang remaining for Dong. Got it in hand right now.
Gives it over to his teammate trying to set himself up with the alley-oop.
Magics will throw it in towards A-Ramper. They're going towards shore.
And it looks like we are gonna be saving here. So we're gonna start wrapping this round up momentarily
Cuz it's pretty much done
Can I check the mail back? I was just gonna read you off on the mail back
It says Harry leg hurts question mark. Why Harry has a crotch. How did he injure?
They got you. Yeah, like they got me. Yeah, I said no, but that was just to throw you off
Yeah, I've heard the expectation right because I think bucket head in though
That's a tiny picture, it's a very weird image, I'm going to read them before I read them out loud, okay, cool.
Too many questions, drowning in all the questions, there's a lot going on, on the chat, it's just a lot of compliments for Buckethead
really, not all the questions, yeah just a lot of compliments.
I think Buckethead could do a great impression of Chris Griffin from Family Guy.
His voice has the base tonality for air, actually.
Looking forward to hearing him more in cars.
Best wishes, Jan.
Any thoughts on that one?
Is that a compliment, you think?
I mean, I don't know if that's an in-joke from one of your mates.
No, I kind of thought...
He has got a point, though.
You want to do a Chris Griffin?
What does Chris Griffin sound like?
That's a great question.
Like you, apparently.
He's like he's got a bit more like he talks with easily. Oh, yeah, it's more. Yeah, it's a very fruit. I actually hear it
Right we do have the save weapons from the previous rounds is still a chance of some danger here the base
Got the galil in the hands of zontics
Probing out towards short nice little grenade being set up. They should be some significant damage. There it is
It's the mark, the Polohead spray is beautiful as well, but Sizzy, continuing that strong
form, brings it back to an even keel.
Got a good question for Buckethead, let's do that.
What's the dream series to cast while at Pro League?
While at Pro League?
Yeah.
Honestly?
Well, yeah.
The series, you know, head to head.
What match?
Two thumbs.
This one might be a little biased, but I would love to do like a Mongol spear
game.
Oh, that's a great choice.
I am absolutely the Mongols ever since
When do they when do they win um, oh my god, you see or Austin final you wc
It would have been that was the one of eight one. Yeah. Yeah, ever since then. I was like, I think there's so much fun to watch
Sir, there's been roster change since then and all that
But they still bring the same type of energy to the server and it's just really nice to see an underrepresented region
Doing really well in Counter-Strike. I was always a fan of like
I was always a fan 8 Australian CS weirdly like growing up
It's so who is your favorite Australian in-game leader from around 20 no actually I have a fun story for this when I
When I was going to clone for doing the interviews with the fans and stuff
I was I was talking with Freya a little bit. We're gonna have to hold the phone every second
It's the ground is important
Just in case well, there's definitely chance to be to retake
there is no gameplay however so if spirit really want to go for this they
got to put the nail on the coffin now don't don't don't don't don't don't
he's thinking no headshot connects and now it's getting less and less likely a
beautiful cleanup sorry to cut you off sorry that's completely okay
I could learn I talked to Fray a little bit and she asked who my favorite
player was of all time and I said it was sponge and then she genuinely just
laughed that was the only I told I told that to him that clone I don't know if
you remembers that's great that's good you like about spun with the play on the
server or the personality out personality okay he said that was such a
old friend
discuss my skill I'm not saying I'm a great player but like you know he had
that like crazy hair going on he was just so like rambunctious yeah no dude
Totally agree. No, I mean he was like it was he was one of the players who understood before he even did stuff as talent
What it took to be like make sure yeah exactly you always cared a lot about that even is it like I know it like little
videos and stuff he would do
To make the little videos I did make some little videos Russia got us someone else. He's why I actually closed this
I'm sorry, I should have been the only person.
Can you ask Rushly about how to get
into ESL production slash casting
I have experience in live studio production?
Oh, good question.
I'm into Rush for this one.
Yeah, Rush.
Rush is true to the internet.
It's even more addressable, it's useful.
I think if you go on the EFG website,
they have a career center that's
job adaptation stuff there.
That was the most helpful idea.
Honestly guys, that's how I got my job.
Oh yeah, it's helpful then.
Our main producer here, on the Funbun shift, you just applied on...
I just applied on the website, yeah.
Wow.
I was a caster, casting CS games, also had some live TV experience,
and yeah, just sent my CV in, got an interview, got it.
Okay.
God damn, good information.
The website actually works.
Okay, good website.
Alright then, well we got a tactical timeout for the time being.
3-0 for Bates, not a score line. Everyone predicted necessarily.
But you're going to win this series, by the way.
Donk hasn't got a kill.
Yeah, hands down. I don't even think he'll be particularly close to it.
Okay, I like the confidence.
They're online, bro.
True.
Still isn't like this.
They're at home, they're chilling.
Spirit been bootcamping for the first time in a long time.
Exactly, they're probably hating it.
Ong's in the game now. Sissy, hello.
Here we go.
All but down.
Wonk up.
Off to your mid, behind the smoke.
Now can be ready for the timing of Alex.
Good way to trade back, big player to get out of the server.
Nothing's for... horseback.
Just a little bit by the Molotov and sheer out rendered useless after that smoke drops in front of him.
So bait decent way to gain map control.
But where to go from here?
We have been blessed with follow-requiem.
Oh, great.
Have we?
No, we have not.
We have.
I don't see him.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
There's someone on the main screen.
There's someone on the main screen.
There's someone on the main screen.
There's someone pushing the screen.
There we go.
I've got to watch the screen now.
Is this the true way to appreciate Counter-Strike?
No, it's glory.
Counter-Strike in its purest form.
Maybe we have to go sip on the monitor here.
Ooh, something's just missing timing on MPL.
I'm allowed to fall back.
Back into the apartments.
Although the rest of his team grouped up back towards A.
Zontik's could have a really good timing.
Catch MPL off guard.
Well he's locked them in, Zontik should get his kill, no problem.
Beautiful.
And that's good.
I actually think it's really good.
That was like nice.
When they hit the shots it looks great, you know?
Harry, what was your tip about following recall with the Deagle?
You had to take.
Try and click on the head I suppose. Yeah about like spamming
Yeah, well no, I think it's just applicable to any gun like even just all the odd ones. Well, like you don't really know
the spray pattern
You now know my friends are okay. This is a dumb question because I don't use for a recall
But when you spam the deagle
Do you does it show you where the next bullet is gonna be because there's no pattern when you're spamming
It's RNG, but is it you don't know the answer to this
I don't I just put it my recoil sorry I put my crosshair on them wherever the
recoil is telling me to and it feels pretty dead on yeah I'll be on it is
meant to be ran I think we've had our fun with the full of recoil I think it's
disabled you just put it on the other screen this is just on continuing the
Yeah!
Okay, all right.
Oh, yeah, actually, I actually think it looks kinda nice.
Yeah, look at this.
It's kinda cool.
It's not terrible.
It's kinda cool.
I would never play with it.
Well, some do.
Shockwave.
My reason for playing with it is that if you're mid-spray,
you know, like, say you just shot,
and then you stop for half a second,
and then you go again,
instead of having to, like, feel on muscle memory
where you're at in the recoil reset,
you just know.
Dude, I'm getting convinced right now.
I was a knower.
What do we know?
5-0-4
Bomb bar are back at mid. Sizzion rifle
Zero chillin back in CT waiting for this a-hit don't jiggling stairs
Hey, feels like an a-split brewing, but they are a long way away from the finish bombs still far away
Yeah, one of the mid players gonna have to fall back try to connect
over with the Sun tool
Slow-paced round
Oh, it smokes in towards mid and A.
Appears to be a little bit of a fake.
Time is of the essence to bomb down all the way back at spawn.
In 30 seconds.
Got you.
Guess we're going into B. Well, what a position though.
You ain't checking this, bro.
No.
Magic's basing from as well.
You're never checking that on a million years.
Big problem, that's a molly in the apps. 20 seconds bombs alone apps.
Yeah, there's no like Alex
A lot of damage from the nade now is not the strides up from the boost of position Donk rotates in kills not falling yet
Oh, and actually a real favor of fate although six seconds left I'm still not planting gonna get tapped out with just enough time
It's near stuck in market trades back immediately, but the one-on-one gets aggressive try to dance around this pillar
So much pressure on both these players
The timing just needs to fall
Fortineer he needs to make the aggressive move. There's not a kid on him swinging around the right side
Just not quite ready dude. I thought they cooked it. They knew zontics was boost. Yeah, they didn't check it
He got a kill e-box nobody cleared it
It's like the comm didn't come through they got confused too many in the site don't getting made look like like he's human right now
Take that while you can
Absolutely true tactical timeout from team spirit on the ropes right now on the CT side for one down money
Okay, they do have the sure AWP but concessions across the board here lacking helmets utility is it MP7 coming in for Taneer as well
currently one in three
Sondings top of the board right now
Of six frags. He'll continue with the diffuse kit and the full belt of utile shiro
Presumably have to step up in this round
Surprised, Xonth has got away with a couple there, but still the last second plant.
Needs another round, maintains an advantageous position here for Bates.
Here we go, change of pace, looks like we're going fast in towards A.
Still early days, still on the ones. Time early on, but early utility already being lined up.
4A smokes in towards CT. Full coverage of the site.
I'm scared it's not gonna be ready for this to near the only really try to adjust and defend this bomb site gets
cleared out by kensasaur
Magic step on the smoke it should be an easy plant for the tease
That's not able to stop
Okay, that does do a lot
Dude, this is quite impressive from Bates. It is they continue to perform as well as shiro and dot. It's the only two left
at this point it locked out call it off call the troops back fall back although
HP low for bait so maybe if they have some ins on that they get a four to kill
for it kill found early on makes it a little bit more likely that something
can't happen for special a Alex barely avoiding burning if they want to go for
this not the knees to move now feels like that Molly has really made it a
safe round surely you think this is clear yeah they're calling it off damn
Dude Magics had lineup for the bomb drops the bomb it doesn't matter bait reacts so quickly they flash a player over spawn
chasing him down
Don't another round where he gets nothing done
And bait 5 1 up team game right now everybody putting in a shift
Fantastic baits a young smart core that likes to play together and likes to play this aggressive style of counter strike
They they're a hard team to try to go up against even if you are a world-class team like spirit
Kind of the unexpected result that we all know is possible, but seeing it on the server is always a bit off-putting.
So what have we got?
Another difficult round here for Spirit, MP9 for Magix, but still equipped with AWP.
Once again, focusing their episode towards the A-bombside, we've got Alex showing presence towards middle.
Trying to hold off those rotations.
I've heard the gaze of Spirit here as he gets ready to fully contact play in towards the A-bombside.
bomb site. Yeah, let's hit up the spear right now. Let's hit the little thing through the wall.
And then towards Palace could be good. Third damage? Not bad at all. NBL brought down very low
however. Waiting for Donk. Great damage. Let's move an end. Yeah, but Bait has really good
positioning considering basically no U-Till being thrown in at all. Let's put it down now.
how many players are around that corner trying to get that info they're trying to do it quick to
near spotted
it's calling it off wow no space anywhere else alex is under
and the smoke CT at least allows him to push out a little bit but shiro reposition are perfectly
trained on top middle easy shot sure is never gonna miss those that puts bait in
a really tricky spot 30 seconds left yeah what do you do with this now I
just get it towards short so they're yeah you're right because essential is
in towards our palace position you have to go in towards a hope for the best
here don't go down with nothing as a chance but that's about to see that's
unlikely but he does manage to find that pig Alex with a double zero ten
seconds. One shot will do it. Perfect flashbang. They have ruffled their feathers. 10 seconds.
Bomb crossing. One kill with me in the round. There's the
captain. He's got hands. It's the most overlooked position in CS. It might be. Every time.
It's the one place you don't consider. And Magic saves the day with the MP9. Second round of the
of the board between spirits needed that it felt like especially with Don going down with
nothing once again spotted on one of those jiggles and very ready follow recall kind of
good for the human experience like let us know if you agree guys but I think we're all
liking it finally Harry's campaign has begun I've been running propaganda for follow recall
is so long it's gonna catch on donk will use it well donk doesn't even use the
A4 okay oh that's what he wants good eagle see you donk donk must have
like he's getting robbed right now oh no way there was a chance of a third as
well against the AWP finally take it down over the damage is done they have
the man advancing but this is the eco chill the jump window he heard that
right? Yeah, it's a little weird. It's out no way to discuss a shop right now. Sure it needs this.
It's good that these jiggle players and so won't let them get through, but they're going to run
them down together. Dinked is one process converted by MPL and Magix needs another triple kill here.
Bomb trying to sneak away, but the AWP will take him down and it's another round for baited.
That's the Eco. There's no armor as well. Oh no, King Roar.
Oh man, we're gonna get a Reaper match on Donk. He ain't happy.
Dude, the Double D. Bam, bam.
Beautiful stuff.
Look, if Donk came feeling it, I know he's setting. He can try.
He's not shooting. They're killing him too quick.
Mike, I'm up.
Ooh.
I mean, that was just disgusting from Sizi.
He was almost on for the hat trick there as well.
Good close.
Fantastic work there. They are believing.
Right now, both of the tea side of Mirage.
6-2 to the good. Muddy broken again. MP7s. MP9s. Famous. Don't give him the M4. He had
the Famous before they swapped his ontics. Sure, I really wanted that pick but he just
dodged it. Oh my goodness. Get it. It's a laser in his head. Magna. Dude, he's getting
wrecked. He's barely shooting. He's not even getting a chance to. I mean, as soon
as a player appears on a screen, he's practically deleted. They do a great job, so he's
so far. The player advantage they have plenty of time to work with. Reel it back a little
bit, try to group up towards those apartments.
So, Bait to Gelfuria yesterday as well, dude. 2-1. This team means business. They are messing
around appropriately right now.
Magic's in a strong position, and Shiro's AWP, if he just strikes the first one out,
spirit of a chance, and the beautiful free-fire!
Magic's whiffs his spray, recovers for a kill, but it is not enough!
Dude, they are looking so sharp.
That is a great word for it.
You can't even attend this rethink!
Evidently seven and a famus, you're not going to win four or two.
His ontic's stuck in the market.
You're saving the trash.
It's all you can do.
Leave it in a bag on the street, Henry.
Oh, dear.
Down he goes.
Zontik's removed.
Taneer is finding M4 at least.
That's it.
7-2 locked in.
How do you recover?
I don't know if you can.
Donk is rattled.
Yeah, I mean...
He's died every round.
How to get back in is have Donk wake up, you know?
He's just disconnected.
from this
He's been in follow recall
Logging in he's back. Okay. It's a quick change
There in the settings. Yeah, it's tempting
The money's destroyed again. They keep force buying. They're gonna have a miracle round, but it's not coming through
This is the team for miracle rounds. Yeah
So they have like 3k on average for play they save the info to this if something to work of short
Donk's gonna buy a helmet. Yeah, sure you need the helmet, bro. Just Kevlar would do.
Okay, maybe this is dedication of the bit from Magix. He has six deaths, seven kills.
There's seven on the board for bait. And so Spirit...
Five and a half for the pistol. Four in a row. That's what they're looking for, Henry.
That's exactly what they're looking for. Will they get it though? That's a different question altogether.
If you're this committed to the bit, I think anything's possible
Anything cannon will happen famously
But magics also can't get a kill or die for the rest of them that so I gave dogs the m4
As his tradition if there's a time to wake up it's gonna be now I mean
One and eight very uncharacteristic for dog
Maybe some aggression towards the ramp
I can allow him to, if he's toasting the water a little...
Yeah, I have a flash here.
Oh, the Tyros is looking for them.
Essential.
Traded.
Dude, it dies for a worthy cause.
Yeah, I guess you'll take ya, four on four.
I guess don't activate it.
I feel like he's playing the game.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Can they close?
This is the miracle round they need.
Donk with the M4.
Got himself a kill.
Has a defused kit and a smoke.
But the way these guys are hitting right now is gonna be difficult to shut them down.
Going home.
Sheerope.
Desert Eagle, no utility.
Cowering behind the bomb site itself.
And he's in a lot of trouble.
He's got no backup.
The speaker of EMA not needed. Great opening shot.
He needs another one. If we have a chance, we'll get this round.
Shun away, readjust towards the apartment. Still missing a shot.
Nothing's landing. Alex eventually does get that kill, so magic.
Magic excuse me just on in his long some jumps in the window. It's dispatch. He is looking mortal right now very
Very much
Can be sickly even
bottom of the server
29
Here's the air with you that I would want the one don't today
This form I'm ready bring your mouse dongle today. Oh
Nope, don't eat it.
You're a nine.
I'm ready.
Um, yeah, this, bear in mind they're on the T side of Mirage right now, and they're absolutely
dominating.
Gaming, coming in, hearts, and it hasn't been like some ridiculous clutch or amazing strategy
that is hitting harder right now.
These rounds aren't close.
None of these rounds are close.
It's just a matter of spirit really not waking up into the server.
one stand up dude if this is like the worst map he's ever played which I think
this is what we're on track for a hundred percent of this keeps up but this is
the worst map ever and they get dumpstered doesn't that like destroy the
argument that it isn't just on cold in all of spirit together no surely not I
like what you're doing then you get what I mean he went twenty four and twenty
I mean, the least of player advantages fall into their laps.
4v3, mid-presence still fully in control, 4b, a boost up into window.
This can be really powerful considering the positions of the CTs.
Sinir might have a fight towards ramp.
Oh, jiggle ball.
Alex more than ready for now.
Shira has pressure on site.
Off-train towards the ramp.
Too many angles to try to clear.
Not able to hit his shots, although that's a nice shot
to the player ramp.
And Zora there to reply that kill.
Zora.
Oh, my goodness.
A beautiful head shot on the player CT.
Now Magix 1v2.
Make that a one-on-one.
But he's got everything to work with here.
Now, he's exactly where he is.
What's he doing?
Let's go for a nice open plon.
He's got flashes and HE, full HP, up against Magics with no U-Tilt, no Kits.
Oh, he's got a fight, dude.
And he wins?
Just tapped him out.
Magics has missed.
And everyone's missing.
But for Bay, everyone's hitting 9-2.
Kends is all tapped and out of the game.
The fact he even takes a challenge doesn't even want to play the bomb.
A declaration of intent, I would say.
They are ready to take on Team Spirit today.
Took down Furia yesterday and now could do it against one of the world's best.
Donk's worst game ever, was 4 kills versus G2 at the Cologne, if you remember, where they got like embarrassingly bombed out last place.
After that game, Donk said he wanted to quit Counter-Strike, so...
Long career.
Sixth one in a day.
But like, you know, I know it's a good bit, but like, he's also very competitive, you know, like, and knows he's really good.
It's not like he's...
Oh
Okay, okay last round of the half what we got
I'm checking the position they have to
I'm not able to come up in space with the killer show nice double kill
So at least spirit have something to grab on to at the end of this half
But still a nine three going into the second bait in the lead
is on track for his worst map ever. That's right. You heard it scheme spirit down nine
three of the half is based saw through this series in phenomenal fashion. Definitely some
tilting deaths for Donkey and Co and no one else being able to lift the spirits or the form of spirit right now
It's Bates who want to finish what they started if they really want it
Why not a pistol got bucket head here to take us through the action?
Yeah spirit looking absolutely abysmal in that first half to be honest with you
Sure, I had his moments to shine maybe once or twice
But besides that nothing much positive to talk of maybe this be hit can start to ignite the engine just a little bit
Get speared in some sort of flow state
That's not gonna be the one holding the aggression once it does come.
Longside Kansas so we're jumping out.
Kills fall in Donk's favor.
He's finally online in the server.
Two kills already for him.
MPL not trying to tap away.
Excuse me, not gonna find anything tapping away towards the apartments.
Bomb goes planted.
And this is already a different look for the Spirits blood.
Yeah, Donk said it was not today.
Yeah, it would just be joint worst.
I imagine there's gonna be some more success here for team spirit after it's all
You know so bad minimum save the armor buy some big guns
Spirit of one this pistol
Very good. I mean, I think that was a kind of a play to build confidence
You know just jump out the window get the kills right away doc
You need to get something going if you really want to have a chance in this map
And that is what's happening.
Self-pistol, converted, sure bait will be able to buy back a little bit, but easy road.
Okay, we have an announcement to make.
In between maps, we have got a 64-slot server playing D-Rats.
If you're not familiar with that map, it's an old-school 1.6 or a tiny human running
around a massive kitchen.
Chad Burchell on his Twitter at Sponge will be releasing the IP momentarily.
Well, maybe in the next 15 minutes.
So in between the maps you can come play with us on the server, we're going to be logged
in ready to go, so you want to play D-Rats of us and 64 of the people, check out the
sponge Twitter.
And behave please.
Yes, you might have to disable all chat.
Please behave.
Don't ruin it for everyone else.
And voice comms.
Disable all of that.
So good idea.
So you just have chat thought about that?
It's generally a good idea.
Hopefully chat is thinking about that.
I disable profile pictures while you're at it.
Disable everything.
What ever. This is going to be a volatile situation.
We do have a force by him.
OK, let's focus on the present volatility is the name of the game.
That's my line up, Alex.
Going to push forward with it.
It does somehow convert the kill on the magic.
Immediately traded back.
Fox being his worst map goes back.
That's what is definitely needed.
I mean, three kills in two rounds.
already beating out of the kids in the entire first half
straight
crunch the numbers
uh... if you guys did not three in fact is larger than two
confirms
that's shocking information
i wouldn't count it out of this round
all certainly not
where they're playing right now
donkeys getting warmed up in the middle you don't need to see that
i want to give the drive-by so was it two and eleven a half yes
He is getting in his zone. Here we go
Five seven can do damage depending on the range of this fight though jumping out the window tapping away
That's one that's two now. We have a real conversation. It's not the only one left Mac 10
It's doom and gloom for spirit once more double digits converted for bait
Like I wasn't even competitive towards the end five sevens are busted though like yeah
Alvin there for the mp9 like couple seasons ago. I got another gun. How the pound five seven might be the best gun in the game
Well, that'll be legal
No, five seven Cliz it's sad what you've always gone. I was just trying to set you up. I know like I said he's saying that
Yeah, I love the eagle that the five seven is broken. You're right and
$200 cheaper. Yeah, spam that it's literally a pocket a key
Pocket rocket and they don't even have the money to buy donk a pocket ak in this round. He's got a play beagle
You know what last time doc was given the deal didn't work out quite as expected. He's got tacked through the smoke
Yeah, so yeah a little bit wrong. Yeah, never mind not really gonna go on a tangent about that. However, I
Mean interesting spot. That's in ears found them sniffing pushing through jungle
Yeah, they're giving them this
Nice move for MPL through the wind you really don't expect that
I
Do this is a massive round they have to eco next and that's from that point playing with bravado and he leads the plan out of this
No way that ends up great position great shot as well. Yeah, there's no chance now
Clean sweet. They did they barely they took one damage
Any ties either round you go to eco now, you know what it is. It's a follow recoil. That's what it is
Let's do it now. I mean, I feel like if we didn't put that on it would be included for storage
I've seen enough. I think they might win Bro League. I'm convinced this is looking too good
With the matches on stage to taking alphira and then potentially taking out spirit as your first two matchups
Yeah, that's all bro. Put me his mouse tomorrow. Oh
the big three
If they get faced up against miles tomorrow, and they beat now's a choking some maps right now
They're not hitting as hard as these guys, I'll tell you that.
So yeah, full eco. Have some fun I suppose.
Jump around.
We have a French guy now.
Yeah.
His magic's talking.
Yeah, can we pull up that?
Like...
I'm studying his bike thing.
I'm looking at his lips.
He's not talking much.
I'm moving a little.
He's speaking, he's speaking, he's speaking.
Come on guys, I know it looks bad right now, but...
Round by round, we can pull this back.
Guys, go kill.
Come on, all we don't deserve to play this, bro.
That is my favorite line.
Alright, well, after the conversation, they do decide that A is going to be the final resting place to help this round.
A minute left, all the T's locate themselves towards the ramp and towards Palace.
SZ, nice scout shot, Nade, not going to finish off with this decent damage on a Shearow.
Brought down to half. Scout finishes it off.
Easy pickings.
Yeah I mean I don't even think Spirit's gonna have a chance to explode out onto the site.
Two smoke on Pals, faded, spots one player at least, make that two.
Sizzy, nice tag, magic brought down low, teammates all around to scoop up the rest of the kills.
Matt Point!
Eight opportunities to get it done, Pals.
It don't count up.
And he drops the scout straight to the orb, he is not here to mess around.
Looking for that knockout blow.
Cold.
Observation Hugo, I like that.
Maybe sponge was right.
This is the go.
Right now, yeah.
Simple as that.
Nine and nine.
I mean, even with Don
waking up into the end of this map,
it still statistically has to be one of his worst.
I wouldn't even call it a wake-up.
You got two kills in the pistol.
Yeah, and then one kill after.
As I always say, though,
the hardest round of the war is number 30.
100%.
It's the one you choke the most. It's the one you overplay your hand.
Maybe play due to offensively. You don't want to be that first guy going down. You lose a bit of a Ravado.
We'll see whether they can actually close it out right here right now.
You're not going to get a better chance than this. Sure they have the AKs and one Galil.
But look at the distinct lack of utility now with Team Spirit. They have a couple of smokes, a couple of mollies.
That is it. One of said smokes is gone. I guess they have another spawn to pick up.
So the little they have, they juggle over towards A. Two molotovs remaining, one smoke.
Bomb down, T-Sport. Don't blow.
That might be the most important factor.
So that one smoke has been deployed.
Molotov towards stairs as well, the hits.
Got nothing left. That's the last piece of utile.
Xautis spraying through, not quite able to catch the player in the corner.
Oh, Alex, the chance to go absolutely nuclear here.
Just depends on the timing of the swing.
Swing first into his crosshair, sandwich player, spray down, donk there for the trade back.
There's still a chance for Spirit to pull this one off.
Donk. So close to catching the heads of one of these players.
But Tenir and Shiro instead are going to be the ones that bring home this round, hopefully in favor of Spirit.
Two more CTs to deal with, so...
Our HP on Zontics.
Anyone's round for sure.
Funny time to work with Zontics repositioning.
Oh here brought down low without takes already back towards ramp
Is that even planted for him move to ramp it's default and PL there's no way they win the map just like that
Dominates in here or Mirage shut out of the server is team spirit don't never get going
No one does spirit down a map before we go very quickly remember check out sponge at Twitter
We're gonna be playing D rats
64 slots, come and join us. Get the IP from spawn. We'll see you on the server in a couple of minutes.
I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you
That's an Arianna.
Okay, we're back.
We're back.
We're back with the rats.
Hello?
Hello.
Hello there.
The game has been restarted.
We've got a pistol round here to kick things off.
It's an old classic.
How many people have got 40 people in the server right now?
Oh, I just hit 50.
That's killed by 100 people.
They're quite a big shot there.
God, this map is so big and I'm so small.
It just explodes.
Where have they gone?
I got a good feeling about my team.
Oh
It takes me back boys
14 on 6 situation
In the mouse hole.
This little light is pretty strong.
Playing up in the light.
We've got two knife kills, eh?
10 on 3 now.
10 on 3.
10 on 1.
Is it 20 to 20?
We've got 64?
It might not have the spawns for 64.
Ah, that might be it.
There's people in spec.
Yeah, it might not have the spawns for it.
Forty's a lot of people. I'll do that. Oh, he wants a time. Wow. Yeah, you can't plan the bomb on this
You can you can oh my god, that's a where is it? He doesn't have a sink Henry if I remember Riley
Yeah, exactly. Oh, no, I just fumbled it. Oh Henry first killed the first day
Have to commentate now. Oh, yeah, give us something give us a bit of a tutorial commentary now
So it was not familiar. This is an old one point six map used to play back in the land cafes way back in the day
It's great to see it back on the server and there's an absolute stack in towards the lamp in towards middle
We've got about ten CT's up there
Absolutely dominating the battle field right now
Way out of the vents and we're seeing some headshots of the robots away in the T side
They are fighting back 11 on ten situations, but fighting for his life in towards CT sport
We're all capped. What be land keeping the dream alive here
CT's were now advantage, but now at even kill we're down to a seven. This T-plane, Camry
We need nades for the lamp. Am I the only one on T side? I think you are. Look at that flank on cigarettes hang on. Look at that flank on
cigarettes right now. Going to cigarettes. Oh, yeah, you're right. Where? Cigarettes flank. Come on. Yeah, there it is. Huge play.
Maple in a one versus many situation. Left at the orange juice. Oh, we landed on the
Yeah, although there's a couple of Easter eggs in here, don't go in the frying pan, notoriously
not the spot you want to be.
Okay, I need to remember the roots, bro.
I was trying to get to the lamp, I don't even know how he's eggs in it.
How did, yeah, well I'm on that.
No, Maui is in here.
Is he, I think he's probably just in the speck or did he get in?
I don't think he got a spot.
Yeah.
Oh no, I should not have gone up that ladder, oh my god.
I'm overwhelmed.
Who can I speck?
Harry, where are you at?
I don't know.
I'm scurrying you hundreds of players to look for you.
Henry's- Oh! Oh! Oh!
Low sensitivity!
Two in control.
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna tiny hole. Look at that. Look at that.
That's a little hole?
Shot into a tiny little hole.
That's crazy.
Lamb is stuck.
Look at lamb, Henry. He's stuck in the door.
Seven lock, seven lock.
He's stuck in the grate.
There he is. Go back. We're at lamb.
I've changed my name.
I see him though. He is definitely star. Oh my god. Speck me. Look at this. He's full stuff
It's got body above him. Harry. Oh
My god
You'd look at him. He's dropping it like it's hot working it right now
That's like me on the thrust machine chair
out of the club
Okay, rattle hiding out here one this is some real rap behavior. That's all rats becomes
So the sink is a bombsite and fire fight that there is two
Great great catch there. That was a stag
Goose now prime position. Here's the T
Otifus tips it
Rato he's moving quick. Can he get that ball by left?
One situation
But he seconds. We don't have our integrity cams that way. There's the bomb
Goose with the round integrity cams
Pegrity care
Well, I don't want to be first death that that was
That's a good idea
I still got the ladders, you know
How do you get to that lamp? I don't even know
Did I get the A4 for ammo here?
How do you get to the lamp? Great question
One at a time in the event please
One at a time, but I'm very stuck now
Oh my god, I'm...
I'm just gonna go somewhere else I think
I've lost all audio which is nice
Oh my god, there's like a trillion people coming through the ceiling
Oh, is this yes behind me. Yes
This guy's gaming nice Hank
Hey, how do you get to this lamp?
What's the what's a party man?
There's like you go up and spawn and then there's a vent you can fly up is this thing
I think it's on a ladder. It's like an actual vendor.
It flies you up like a fan that launches you.
Who's the other bomb?
This brings me back, man.
There's someone in there or someone's in the door.
Oh, door.
April is lost here.
Ah, you scared traded, Hank.
You rat.
Oh, absolutely traded.
You rat fuck.
Hiding in the lamp.
That's round.
Jackson's in the lamp.
Jackson of ESL Pro League fame
El Jacko one of the goats
He's fine. Oh Spud taking down Jackson just like that two more rounds it boys give them as I've been told
Where's the bomb man? I'm looking for it
It is it is on the burner. It's on the fire. You've got to take a sync. Can you get up top? Where was he?
Oh
He couldn't hack it hate to see it shop I had the land the CTs maintain the dominance man Vox were cracking this
man on the bomb
I've you go follow me. Yeah. I bomb who wants it Chad you want it? Yeah, let's go lead the way Chad Chad Chad Chad Chad
Wait, where the fuck?
Where are you? Oh
You this sense is so wrong. Oh Hank lovely work there
He's not re-beking that, that's for sure.
Now the players, this is ridiculous.
They've figured out the lamp, I'll tell you that much.
Oh, cat!
Come on, Harry!
Where's the bomb site, Chad?
me there. It's on top of the fridge, I think. Yeah, it's on top of the fridge. Okay. Oh,
the sink. It's the parent fridge. They're both bombs. We're all down. It's the last
round here of play. Spirit vs. Bacon will continue. He's got Donk on some rats. We'll
leave the server up. You guys can play. Enjoy the rats.
Hello's in Palace. The King rushes to the throne for it takes guts to obtain the-
Speech I'm nervous. I know I forgot my papers
Really I didn't hit anything
Damn guys we almost had this
Try and go that silver.
Board of endless matchmaking, take your first steps towards EPL.
Experiencing real strategies against teams of your skill, learn more at fce.gg.epo.
And that's what I-
AHHHHH!
I get to be here!
AHHHHH!
Well, the unthinkable has happened.
Bates are in the lead.
They pick up Mirage convincingly to say the very least here.
We move onto the map.
Pick a spirit, however.
It's going to be Nuke.
They be setting on the T side.
Boys, is there any world you imagine right now where it goes 2-0?
Yeah, I think it's-
I called it three rounds into Mirage.
You did?
I said 2-0, babe.
I think it's very possible.
They're comfortable. They're sharp.
I love it.
Spirit, I didn't even get the, like, consolation warm-up rounds by the end of the game.
They were never in that.
Towards ramp we go.
We have got essential to defend.
Looking for one, but one bullet will do.
Falls back to more defensive positions, and bullets from Sizi here as well.
Oh, good for now. And even better, as a clean double.
Looking for three. As a team killer as well.
an absolute disaster as Spirit have given up this pistol with no bomb once again. Zontek's
four on one.
Wrap it up.
We might as well.
I mean, in all honesty, do you fear a repeat of the last map? Like, I know we have the
expectation that Spirit on Nuke is going to be a lot better. It's going to be a lot
more competitive map. It should be. Like, is there anything inside of you that's
like...
When Donk has that sort of performance, I feel like he'll be tilted judging by that
body language. I think that might be the case.
Um, I don't know. I think the two zero might be on that's a huge pistol victory. I think spirit needed some good momentum here
They've not got a force plan a second with a bomb. I'd imagine
So you got two zero star? I
Don't know. They're hitting harder today. The team just looks like they're there more skilled right now
Like some of the best IGLs in the world struggle when pieces of their toolkit go missing
Of course, you're suddenly way more restricted
Well, you've lost don't your magics you've been IGLing for all of about a couple of months
Yeah, you know, like it's not a recipe to
To feel great about this man, dude
So what do you do here? Go over the four spy, which means tech lines helmets and smokes
You don't know wall of smokes outside trying to force a price you down towards secret potentially
I guess it's all you really can do. So yeah early smokes
Hope for the best here at least try and keep some attention towards that area
But he will be following it up
But it's towards outside as mentioned towards secret will be the objective
Donk looking to open things up here
They've been very disciplined in these sort of rounds. Working together using crossfires,
he did spot Dong, he can see it communicated, and MPO is ready.
Oh Dong trying to spray, only able to land a bowler or two.
Oh it's a great molotov to follow it up as well, coming in position.
I'm not a fan of this force by and all honestly, I just think right now is not the time
to be investing at this point and conceding rounds in the future, assuming that you
don't win a risky play that I still potentially could pay off as MPO is very low.
It's a 4v5.
But with a minute left, it's pretty telegraphed what you're doing.
Everyone knows that the seat control has been forfeited, now you're making a lot of noise.
You're pushing straight into two different players.
Or maybe.
Nope, they're pushing straight into two different players.
Okay, spray down, MPL.
Finds one with MP7, not another one, but he's even more than ready.
Insta-knife pull when Shiro gets that kill is the Crème de la Crème.
You know, you're not ready for that.
Well, like there'll be there'll be ideas and things that you try and do the work because you have donkey the team
Right like right and maybe you pick up like some bad things from that at the same time
Things in the work in it. Yeah, right and then it's like oh well
Don't hasn't dropped 30 kills this game and now suddenly the he goes ahead of everyone on the secret rush play that normally works
Hasn't worked and actually it's left us in a 4v5 with no chance to trade. It's looking rough
That was the foreign. Sorry. That was the four spy and now with no plan again
Has to be an eco a couple of deagles being purchased about almost zero percent chance of converting this round to three zero
For a CT start here on the bright side. It wasn't his worst map. It was his 60 to worst map of all time
So that's pretty good actually 60 to worst sounds too bad. Does it suppose that how many maps as he played?
That's a good question. That's a great question
Just out of curiosity
I'm on the wrong. It's okay. It's not pressing. Help me, Harry. What have you done? I don't
know. It's played 695 maps. There you go. It's pretty good. So what's that like? Bottom
0.2% something like that I was played 1600 simple 1800 oh wait I'm wrong yeah
really wrong bottom 3% 2.0 something you okay some good math yeah it's important
it's a good stuff yeah I don't want to be like who do you think's got most maps
right now still play all the time still don't time JwP just looked you think I
I can only read that you're a kid of you
It's tiny the only player
Only player in the three thousands. Oh
Well, Jdubs, you wouldn't get second. I'll say that also still play
Still playing
It's rampage. Oh cringe. No, he's gonna be top five
Crimson's top ten. Okay, that eight still playing still playing
You haven't got we got like a tier two guy. Well
Yeah, maybe right now. Yeah has been to one. Oh, actually, maybe I do know I think you can get this
We hang on. Will you haven't mean you haven't got him for a while? Okay, but he's still playing
It might make the major of this right
Absin yeah
Absin tivity tabson good work
I'm first gun round bucket. What do you reckon?
Let me pull this one off. I mean there was a hot take. I think spirits bit dead in the water
I'm not gonna say it's gonna be a complete blowout like the last man, but there's just not really enough to feel
Confident okay, it's not to open a kill as least good a couple up is even better rank control secured
Okay, you know what? Maybe I spoke the opposite
Cuz it all is fine and dandy MPL last player. No, he's not he's dead. Okay. That's called the cast of cars
Yes, maybe you're familiar. I don't mind that though from bait
They're changing things up first go around and go for that lobby collapse to open things up
They're pushing from ramp and towards squeaky door. Sure. When the pressure hits though, right? You're cool for the front
You go, okay. Let's do something where I didn't work. Okay. Let's let's go back. Let's play safe
Let's play normal. Just don't get ruffled. I think the spirit the way it's gonna have to start is like
The guys on the extremities kind of bring you back into the game, you know, like the
Zontics is to now the teniers the magics they bring you back in they buy some time for Donk to find his
Form again, and then you can go back to your more like
That's a-a-a-a-donk AD right there, but you're not getting past.
Dodges the shot, or rather, Sizi misses.
And that's a 5v4 extended even further, 4 spirit. 5v3!
Sit back and relax!
Okay, Stu.
Very aggressive play.
We're from Sizi there. Could've...
...paid off very well, but...
...Shatcha's wasn't there, now all of spirit, or majority spirit.
on their way down through secret.
This is where it wants to get aggressive.
Meet up in lobby with his teammate.
We're ready for it. Spots the toes, gets the head shot.
Sensual. Not long for the world, Alex.
A 1v5. Surely that's gonna save.
Wrap it up, okay. Wrap it up, okay, Alex.
He's gonna die. Three, two, one.
Is he done? Hey.
Long is back. Okay.
Let's tell me I can count, you know?
They've stabilized, boys.
Yes.
Leave.
You know what? To your point before we said the extremities need to kind of step up a little bit and get Spirit in the map,
Shiro has been playing... He didn't play a bad map last map, you know?
Spirit didn't play well, but Shiro, that other crucial part of Team Spirit, is still on the server, is still firing good enough.
So they're definitely not dead in the water, like I mentioned before.
I've never cracked that statement.
I was never said.
Yeah, but I still do fear for spirit bait will recover from the current situation of the economy
And then we really need to talk once the guns come back
Well, this was also like one of the OG maps team started trying to empty donk on a hell of a lot
Right like nuke was one of the real focal points to try and ice him out early on in his career
So you'll have a lot of ideas that make donk feel uncomfortable
I think also in the beginning, as you guys said, you're going to get these aggressive
moves, you're going to get bait trying to play from the front, come through with a bit
of aggression, and that's where we are going to look to the other guys to hold their end
of the bargain.
You can milk some rounds out from the aggression of bait.
You're getting close to the taps with the donkey magics to get the kill.
Sure, one is traded, but it doesn't matter.
It'll be three rounds easier, a tied-up score line, and the guns come back out for bait.
Yeah, but not all the guns they need necessarily.
Yes.
You have to make some concessions.
This is, he gets the AWP, no Kevlar, no helmet on three players, won't be a huge
deal against the AKs I suppose.
Any kits out there? No. So this is a bare bone setup.
We're gonna have to rely on Sizzy to go huge, I guess on Nuke. The lack of Cavalier, you can keep the range nice and long here.
The aggression definitely won't be the play this time around. Because of the glass cannon, NP-L find themselves in a nice spot.
Smokes go down towards that side.
It's only Don cleaning it for now. The rest of his team grouped up towards Lobby.
Having some interest towards Ramp.
It's going to be a big play for Ascento. He needs to try to get at least one maybe two here.
First spray, not even going to fire a bullet. Madness. Beautiful shot.
Opens up the ramp.
They do have a way to go down if they do choose so.
What a close line that was.
Yeah.
So they can just reset this round.
They know they've shed so much presence, rotations have to come through.
And it looks like the round might be done already.
Xontics, put the follow up kill, Molotov down the vent, five on three, no damage taken thus
far.
We had the one minute mark, but it feels like you're already considering the save
on the CT side.
And the F-bomb side is completely wide open.
Yeah.
Two players down towards lower.
You took that gamma in at lower and you're just hoping they come to you.
And if they don't, you're fine getting out with three guns.
It just feels rough to round off so early.
Oh, MPL.
A bit of a tenuous spot here.
QK.
Open up our mailbag.
Let me have a look.
Have a rummage around that.
What are you not doing up here?
I'm not running out of this round.
It's going to be just safe.
There's got to be some bangers.
If you'd like to get involved, dhlmailbag at efg.gg
Any questions will do
We're looking for interaction
Got bucket head here today
And for now
A couple of players remaining
Will they hold on?
To the little they have
They got an AWP and M4
Smoke and a flash
Hoping, praying that Dong doesn't come looking for them
But he is on the prowl
Uh, close range.
Ah, okay, this is alright.
You got nothing for me?
Sparron?
Sparron, Sparron.
Okay, we're sending you questions now.
I'm listening to work with you.
Oh, no!
Everyone goes.
That's a rough one.
Okay, you're partial by territory, spirits are officially online.
43, take a lead here on the T side.
Third map.
Hedging ever closer.
I feel like that round would have been a real clear sign to bait more than any other thus far as to what's going on
That it is just donk for the most part being left out in the arm or the other foregone playing the lobby
Problem is like spirit probably feel that too. And so maybe donk. It's a bit more support out in the yard this time around I
Feel like that would have to be your way in it's like go kind of take the yard away
Deal with donk
So you're not looking over your shoulder and then focus on the lobby component
But Spirit were paranoid about that type of move.
They've got more guys out in the yard with him.
And they have also left a pretty healthy contingent of players ready to deal
with any antics out here in the yard.
They've got to play down secret early, spawned across two in Maine.
And so both teams kind of aware like what the adjustment was going to be in this round.
Back out from secret
Don't get in control towards garage three down at lower for bait. Yeah, it's another one of the gamble stacks
In fairness to him you got pistols do what you think you could do to get the round one, but it's near getting the opening kill
There is a flank coming through
Here right with Shiran. Yeah, he's right
Here facing him you've seen that's the bomb he's dinked as well
Ooh!
That's where you just went in.
Oh!
It was quite the second kill.
It got a little dicey for a second, but...
Beautiful follow-up from Shiraz.
Still nice.
That's still over.
And it's definitely over now.
Essential.
We'll do what we can, but...
Just to deagle Kevlar, here we go.
Five to three.
Um, they kinda need to win the next couple of rounds here.
I don't think they understand the chance it's getting out of hand now on the T side.
They're too comfortable too many clean sweeps that money is
Swelling almost sixteen thousand dollars on all of them
So no more eco team spirit for the remainder of the half
Really just night and day compared to map one spirit looks so much more comfortable all around
I'm sure Bates economy hasn't been great for a majority of the game so far, but
They're giving up a lot less of the easy kills.
Donk isn't just getting absolutely obliterated.
I mean, it's on the screen.
By virtue of the map, I suppose you can't just run around,
get back to my barrage.
Magic's...
Oh, give it a go, though.
And it's gonna be a triple or double kill for Alex.
No molly in Hutt.
They wanted to rush Hutt.
Two players close up.
Well, that should be it.
You said they have to win the next couple. This is a very convincing start.
Five on three, Zonzex and Shiro.
Almost nothing to do about it. As mentioned, they got 16k.
You might as well try and wound the economy here.
Every little bit you can take away from the CTs, Ken.
Yeah, seeing as they're fully invested here, if you can even get two kills, that would be worth it.
Still time to work with.
So...
Shiro...
We'll have to do most of the heavy lifting here, I would say.
Hoping a CT makes a mistake.
It's on six.
Same story.
I can get any avenue of approach here.
Will anyone give him an inch?
Certainly will.
But the dink will do.
Follow-up from MPL, that's round.
As mentioned, I'm sure all you can really do here.
Hope for a couple of kills.
No real point saving.
They will hunt him down.
I turned off follow recoil and bait stopped winning true good observation
Bring it back question mark. Oh dear
In game team will not be happy
Round nine
Russia you convinced you like follow recoil you got another light. I did use it for a little while. Yeah, and it does feel
quite good
I'm still not completely sold. I have it off at the moment, but it was fun music
It's like changing the 4x3 stretch for a while. It's just fun, you know, I
Feel you is rats still going MC. They're still ratting away. They're ratting away. Maybe next time I will check in
Hello, it's a bit it's a bit crazy with 60 players. I will say that was only 40 was only 40. Okay body players
Okay, body players, a little bit mad, but it was fun.
What's the right amount of players, you think?
I'd say 24.
Total?
164.
I'd say...
That works.
Don't move the outside alone.
Working some magic.
Team, setting up the top.
It's already baits.
It's quiet.
No rotate ramp available.
Might need some support magics and to near are walking in as they fake the top site a central commits to position
They don't clear this is poor spacing here magics unable to trade
Scared of the rotate and in that time since he moves in donks got a kill they can bail
I can't it's exactly what they will do reset. I still can
Oh look at this he's going searching for donk out in the earth
They want to try and find him they know he's here alone
Donk playing smart, not in a hurry. Knows they've got eyes on him right now and in this silence, they're getting scared.
Could be lower, could be anywhere. Donk will play late.
Sissi's orb still roaming. And they drop B, there's the paranoia of Donk freezing. That weakens his top site.
In 25 seconds, the hit's gonna come in any moment, Zandrex.
Trying to look around, SZZ not able to hit the shot, although kills do fall on A, it's still
Spear in favor until maybe Alton gets one more sprays down, dunk!
Shiro left pushing out of hub by himself, 1v1, essential up top.
Mile top goes down, bomb needs to get planted.
Five seconds, he taps it, he tries to go for the kill!
But unfortunately for him, essential just a little bit quicker in the tie game.
That's sick. What a cool round to watch actually, just the way that Spirit
Clota slow down and then bait do panic they do over rotate, but still that player a CT-ven Alex holding so strong
We're gonna check in on the rats now. Let's see. We're checking in on rats
rat check
Always looking beautiful up there. It is going look at that mini-map is crazy
Get out of spawn sassy. This is what CS used to be about back in the day community browser
I was there hanging out with the boys playing the mods playing the fun maps. I love that enough of that these days
I love how everyone's still in the service. Yeah, that is cool. Even my barber today. Yeah, the same thing Swedish guys said CS
Used to be all about the community. He said that
That's good. Yeah, then I was wrong
You would have bound you sure to hit back strong too. I think they learn a really valuable lesson from that round
where Spirit tried to fast-pop A and that's the if we actually just wait for them to be the initiators and for them to run the strat
They can't do it
Like it's only when they fed them kills in the open and trying to be the team taking the initiative that the rounds got away from them
You've seen them move it like a way more passive setup on this CT side
They're kind of letting Spirit play and then just have faith that they can shut it down
down.
We'll talk once again, makes his way towards secret.
Sizzy is at the bottom of the staircase.
You might be able to catch him off.
That's exactly what happens.
Falls back now.
Three more tees, group up towards the staircase, but a bit afraid to commit.
Beautiful nade.
Massive nade.
If you don't mind me saying buckhead.
I don't mind at all.
You know what?
Massive another kill for Sizzy.
Trying to triple up.
This is the shot I'm trying to regress.
Very good kill from Tanir and Zontik able to trade back to make it a 3 on 3 with all three CTs pushing lobby.
Here come the three musketeers.
Spotted. Zontik should go down and he's done very well to even get one there.
The round is well and truly on lower plant coming through courtesy of Tanir.
Shiro to back him up. They know that both of his players are coming from Bear in mind have been spotted towards the ramp room.
Very difficult retake. Very unlikely they win this round. Let's see what they can make of it.
Did he even cross out? He's just running into fearance with the Util.
It's down to Shiro to hit the shots on players crossing.
Which he will.
Simon wasn't there for the first time, so still a one-on-one towards the end. Alex for Shiro!
Trying to bait Alex, has to make the move here.
Oh! Shiro! I like that. Catches him while going for the defuse.
Shiro knew exactly where I was going to play that.
CT has to make the aggressive play, try to make sure to peek, so
why not just catch him off guard while he's making that initiative?
very nice spirit secure at least a tied half and the money for bait once more
MP9s, FAMAS, 2M4s, no op in the round
Spirit of back, but it's still a competitive game.
They do more with less.
We've seen a situation where they have done more with us, so maybe history will tend to
repeat itself as NPL.
Ooh, waiting perfectly time.
Spray's down one!
Dude, effort.
Huge damage on the Donk as well.
Okay.
A lifeline there.
NT.
They've got him uncomfortable.
They haven't taken any space towards outside, they're actually calling it off.
Got to reset the round back towards Lobby.
Donk, given the AWP.
You might not think he's very versatile with the weapon, but he is actually a fantastic
sniper, given the opportunity.
Ooh, patience, Chris!
He takes down the CT AWPer, 4v3 and donk outside.
Spirit group up in lobby, looking for ramp hits.
Central, he's got the rifle.
Good off angle.
He's good for one.
You want the trade though, yeah.
Not even good for one.
Out of spirit.
Holy patrol takedown ramp, Alex does rotate in through the vents, but...
Not be too little too late.
As I say, that good damage, that's one spray converted.
OH HB, we're able to double up!
What a win!
Now look at the HP on Dawkins' arctic!
That's bomb!
Are they ready for Dawkins?
What do you say?
New is outside.
Gotta consider it at least.
He has the AWP, it's not the weapon for the task.
It's done.
15 seconds left, Alex is already considering the position.
Beautifully done from Bate.
And will end the half.
This hide boys.
Oh!
A half, a six to six.
Competition a lot better than it was on the first map.
We'll have to see how the rest of it plays off when we come back.
Well Team Spirit have finally arrived in the last series of the day, sure it split right
down the middle but their T-side performance was impressive, 6-6. I'm still saying 2-0's
on the table. Hugo doesn't seem to agree, but I've got a sneaking suspicion this pistol
victory for Bait could lead them to victory. Maybe on the table Henry, but will we tuck
in? That's the question. I think Spirit have got it. They've got that dog in them. They
can dig deep. That donkey. Because the donkeys here is what I want to see in Nubis. Bait
want to finish this while they can. And yeah, I mean, either outcome is good. If we get
a 2-0, great upset, super exciting. If we go three maps, I'm happy with that as
well. Both outcomes are fine.
Let's see if they have some strats up their sleeve.
Well, something's definitely getting lined up for sure.
Psych!
How'd he do that to me?
I'm so excited.
Just checking outside. He'll go back to it.
Yeah, late A presence is gonna be what's on the cards for this round.
Honor in the cards.
Both will do.
HE available for Donk.
Flashbang as well.
He's got the Kevlar.
Flashbang's perfect.
How do you imagine if they cleared?
I don't know, he's actually done really well.
If he's still victory though, as mentioned, is looking great here.
If Alex finds his cure on Shiro, who seems to be more than aware of this possibility,
I should be round down.
Shiro in a world of pain.
And we go four on two, but still a chance of Donk alive.
Really cool deal.
Oh yeah, let's see Donk.
Yeah, like don't ever discount him.
Donk clutch here is always chance.
Should not be possible in any reasonable world.
No.
And his chance is diminishing by the second.
That's how the clock works here.
I might just try to save here.
Every kill you get has another 300 bucks.
$50 for each of his teammates as well.
Make it $100.
Hit man.
$600 for him.
He's playing along at home.
So some cash.
They are going to force, which has been the trend so far in the series.
They forceball every second round.
They lost all pistols.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Wow.
They have been force-playing every time.
What's the score, Hank?
Seven to six.
I'm caught out of view.
Oh, detail there.
I love what they did in the A-pop.
Player in back of lobby held the flash, and then someone eed the door as he threw the
flash, and then obviously you immediately, Magix immediately looked at door because
he heard it open him.
Boom, he's blind.
Oh, I'm starting to get a peckish Ugo, and I'll be tucking into a two-zero meal
very shortly, I think.
Get a yank.
Getting ahead of yourself.
They're forced by, does it instill confidence within me?
I mean, it's three courses for a reason. Okay. You garlic bread garlic bread
Now you're tucking into a
And you think you're full but by the time that I ever settled now then next thing you know the Pavlov is on the table
The Viennetta. Oh, that's the frosting right now. Oh, but an apple crumble with ice cream. Oh, that's beautiful stuff
Jerry's it's coming. Oh
The cherry-gassy round tub.
It's for you, Hank.
That's a newbis.
It's the whole tub.
And you're going to sit there.
You're going to eat it.
I'm going to chow down.
You're going to enjoy it.
I'm enjoying this, either way.
It's been a lot of fun today.
We do like to have fun here, famously.
Oh.
Bit of coffee to keep us going as well.
Wet the whistle.
Wet the whistle.
It's quite refreshing, actually.
So four-spire overnight, she remaining.
In terms of map control, we're heading towards the ramp
and Zontics.
Position that can work out that there's an eagle down. You got to play something quite special with no back up
It's also hard to hit the headshots with those areas. Do not molly down. Oh, they might themselves. They were gonna molly it. Oh, no
It's fine. I mean, there's only 30 seconds left though. Santa's goes on check might be able to secure a killer too. Unfortunately
Crosshair is not in the right place and now they do control the B bomb site Alex catches off a few rotations
They can win this. Don't come in this for sure.
15 seconds left. They won the round
Yeah.
Now that the bomb is on the site, it's definitely curtains for spirit in this round.
Oh, I'm starting to feel ravenous, Hugo.
Oh, that's a full eco up next, I believe, if I'm not mistaken.
You might not be mistaken.
There might be a gun round coming there.
That's what I'm waiting for.
What are you guys typing with each other?
Figuring out some community.
I'll be right back.
You guys, why don't you just cross around?
We're going to.
We've got a five on one situation here.
Shiro looking for glory.
Is there a world where you can pull this one off?
Down towards the vents, bomb of course, up.
Has he really not, man?
Off he goes, we'll save that MP7, Kevlar as well I suppose, worth a save.
Especially for the AWPer, you can farm $600 per kill.
And before he gets one kill, they'll help his efforts get into the AWP out going forward.
So there is always that.
Definitely better than nothing, but the rest of the spirit is practically gonna be nothing.
armor and pistols bought interesting it's just worrying that the realization for
bait was do less these guys yeah make the round happen on their own bring up
that talking point that as soon as you know there was that round where says he
got really aggressive out out in yard yeah yeah got killed immediately and then
after that point they just played back they played back on your they played
back on the sites and that's when they were able to come back into the game
And I mean
Spirit I feel like confidence sure they should be but I go for that force by there when it's a game like this
You just lost the previous map
As you said it doesn't instill confidence
We got a mouse issue on a sensor. Oh
Better than issue with the mouse apparently happens to the best of us
Blowing in it. Why it's good. I'm super straight
But you don't even have to have an admin team on hand to help it's gonna wipe it down yourself and hope for the best
So eight to six
How much have they invested in this is it the MP7 it should be a full eco
But it's actually a bit more brought to the table as it were
Five sevens diggles and we were mentioning this on Mirage. They're hoping to find one of these miracle rounds
So far we haven't had like one of those miraculous don't clutches or ridiculous moments has all been
pretty average stuff so far. He hasn't had a badge showing here on Yucatul, but no
Donk moments, I think it's fair to say. Yeah, nothing that stands out as
something unexpected or extraordinary. It's definitely good to see Donk in the
server for this map at least. No, it's always quite crushing just watching the
game when Donk can knock it online. It's a bit depressing. It's depressing.
Yeah, I mean listen, when you're in the presence of greatness, I appreciate that.
not being great it's sad let's see what he can do he's no Kevlar this round but
the Desert Eagle we'll see what he can make of it Zontik's alone towards the
ramp hoping to chip away at them with the HE Alex once again finding a lot of
space down towards secret they'll wait for him before they make their next
move was round we go just watching out the close range proximity with the
Molotov, Alex, continue progression down towards lower.
It's all quiet, a bit too quiet.
No CTs down towards lower whatsoever.
So you can hold the vents and call them towards ramp.
That's presumably gonna be the call here.
Testing the nerves of Spirit.
He has one cigarette for that window.
Can they shoot at the skylight at the same time?
Never gonna go for it?
Oh, Molotov, it says master sound.
He's been heard.
And in we go.
Shiro able to spray down one and the nade connects for one as well, but it's still three on three the bomb side now
They know that least of the close range positions are clear
They'll throw them all tops down, but donk has arrived at the scene of the crime. Oh my god
What a shot that said donk further right there
We might have a victory
Available with team spirit low HP here on scissi down to a sensual
No defensive utility available to them and no scissi to play a central have to go huge
Well, one shot is already good, and he's way down dark, not quite, and Magix is able to convert that kill.
And Spirit do finally pull off one of those rounds that they felt like they put everything into.
They felt like they needed to to build the confidence up a little bit.
A bit of a miracle, but still down in the scoreline, 8-7.
Two AKs recovered, very good for the CT side, and plenty of money to work with.
So this is definitely a point in the round where...
feels like the first round Spirit have stolen away this entire series and you
expect them to do that a few times per series so a sign of things to come perhaps
they needed that they recovered two AK-47s bring it to a one-round game on
that CT side as well got a new bus to close things out probably required but
we'll see if baiting it back on their feet is still the decent by AKs across
the board decent utility as well today I'm drawing towards that squeaky door
Deep smoke in.
Outside, water smokes deployed.
I have a no presence outside for spirit instead.
Collecting themselves in lobby once more, excuse me for bait.
Don't gonna be thrown off by the smokes.
It's all just a ploy.
Oh, that is going for the incendiary, that's crazy work.
Alex thrust into the bomb site, magic dodges the flashbang very effectively.
And now this looks a little bit desperate, they have deployed all of their Utah outside,
got nothing from it.
Alex running the gauntlet through huts, no down, no problem.
And now you have a couple of flashes you might even consider saving at this point,
but what do you do?
How do you get anywhere on the map?
They want to transition outside, but realistically, there's not much you could do it again.
A flash in the Molotov would work with it.
It's super difficult to do anything, Kea.
Maybe flash Zontik's off the angle.
30 seconds.
You gotta go for a main ramp?
You have to go in for a main and over the base, I suppose.
Well, there's a potential for timing.
I mean, it's not called off yet, but they have to go loud.
Zontik sprays from the back.
Sizi, at least trades back onto the site.
Magic's stuck in the back site.
to be the final straw to prevent the bomb from being able to go down swinging a beautiful headshot.
One more, can't be found.
This is a nice trade back.
Ten seconds.
Fix the plant.
Here's both players.
Oh my god.
That's one headshot.
There's not going to be enough time to plant them.
Oh god, top down.
And unfortunately for him...
Oh, it's a hero security.
Dude, they made a lot better effort than I expected.
I didn't think they had any grounds to get close to that bomb.
that bomb, so the Vatican's down to a 1v1, and just a second between him and planting.
Pretty cool, but yeah, it does destroy the econ, and now we're all tied up, tactical
timeout.
That's all they really could do is wrap in through main, hope for the best, unless you
get some decent trades, but the money is busted.
I mean, a good time to take a call.
I just got a word from Chad here.
He says, um, three maps.
He says that?
Yeah.
How much conviction did he have when he said it more conviction that I'm saying it right now
Oh, really? I was gonna say I didn't imagine him to say how much just locked in or like twice as much chat
It's also saying you want to play another map?
Yes, what is he gonna sleep though? Could he
Or pleats key. Oh, yeah
100%
Can we get you on the star?
That's you in line
Well, it's all assuming though that bait can't come out in this map with the series victory
It's still very possible. Of course this round with just Glocks to work with not as possible
Cleanups gonna be quick and early shiro to nice shots as fall back close range
Absolute domination or spirit against the Zika
That's all she wrote. I'm alive
I think that's a little awkward here if the bait is like they've lost out on the hole calling from the front position that
They've been in and that that immediately like restricts what you can call like you don't want to gamble the whole game on a topside
Hip you would love to run one of those early into your t-half just to get spirit paranoid that you can
You've kind of lost out on that you're having to do some slow mid-round stuff
Are you feeling a little uncomfortable there spirit have actually been good and solid at the rotates? I
I'm a little nervous
Bring back the desks, give me that.
Would you say there's a lot of dessert in this meal?
I would say there probably is.
I think we can have.
Got a big lasagna.
What do we have here?
Garlic bread, lasagna, and V&S,
apple crumble, maybe a smoothie as well.
Ooh.
Yeah, we have a nice big smoothie.
Fruit dessert.
Yeah.
Healthy bruschetta to start.
Of course, a bread basket was price of garlic bread.
Yeah, that's definitely just kept refilling that.
You go through it like three times.
You've got to get value for money.
Oh my God, sorry.
The first storm of the day is the first season.
You know what it is, you're here, you're family.
I wasn't trying to have fun today.
I was trying to be positive.
Is that the only garden?
Yeah, okay, thanks.
Very good.
When I'm here, I'm famished.
Famished for a third map and Nubis would decide if Spirit can take us a distance.
So, AKs and some decent control.
All things considered.
would secret MPL patrolling main entrance CT's allowing them to have a lot of space
so they're actually focusing their efforts down into what's a lower site
to near smoke some off by some time of rotations here sure as smoke the ramp as
well although decent control spear definitely has an idea of the map
positioning of Bay right now Sontek's might get tested once more
Ramp has been a decent point of contention for both these teams as the smoke fades, Zontik's ready to nade.
Oh, it's a perfect grenade as well. Beautiful damage.
Makes the body shots even nicer.
So, Holtzolf doesn't even flush him out.
Oh, it's a nightmare.
You're never checking this now. He's already done the damage. Shiro arrives at the scene of the crime.
They go finishing off. Down he goes.
And we got a three on three, but it's 20 seconds, boys.
I'll miss deep one round if you leave us around sure as hell the bomb
Good try good jewel good jewel good jewel
Who's she?
Yeah, it's probably gonna be
Yourself
No stopping this
We're gonna be late tonight. You have a story 10p. Yeah, thank you. That's able
You have a partial by around the saved gun do you call the pace?
Hit now. Yeah, or do you never do it? I think you need it
MR 12 never room for the fast. I think you do it now. I think you just go your full sender
It's not too obvious. Also spirit are anticipating Alex been starting 3a and a lot of doing it
Alex at the best sport, maybe he's not going to just go for a ramp. I think
Bravely challenges that holy if Shirou is a
Sorry about that for sure.
Pushing the smoke.
Context's already out of position.
No, but he's fine.
He's alive.
Oh!
For now.
OK, good trade.
As the gun picks up, no damage done.
Team you're so fast in the rotate though, smoke goes down.
Bates not committed though.
Actually, they have a player pushing out.
Spirit.
Oh!
Now they are.
Two down at the vent.
Oh, he's not going to drop it.
Shiro!
Shiro's two locked in!
Buddy!
He's two locked in!
Oh, we got a dink as well, dude.
This is the miracle round we were looking for!
The long spray down, that's the time!
We were looking for boys, we said he hasn't had one of those moments yet.
Replay that to me, Luke. How was Donk even there?
I don't know.
That's a great question. That's why Sherrod didn't think he thought it was Donk.
He thought it was Donk.
I didn't know where Donk came from outside.
I thought we were just materialized in heaven.
Dude, that's crazy.
What a round!
I think it's so good.
Yeah, I'd like to watch that whole thing back.
From start to finish.
Oh, I'm rocking.
That's the first Donk moment of the series.
You've had it.
Sadly it is.
You had to use the teleport glitch to get it to work.
No clip.
Oh, that was so stunning.
I'm so confused how he was there.
Did he walk around from heaven?
He was outside.
He was front lockers, like outside,
and he was jumping up when all of this was happening.
Jumping up?
Right now he's jumping up heaven from outside.
Wow, dude.
There's tiny, there's tiny.
Oh, disgusting.
Oh, dead.
Got the fourth as well.
Okay.
Well, look at that smile on his face too.
Oh yeah, he's beaming smile there.
So, spirits.
I suppose there is money there.
They're so winnable.
If we are just a reiterate, we are going to be playing Leedskeets.
After this one, same IP. Go check Sponge Twitter.
It might have already be live now. Is it live already? Can everyone see? Is he on there? It looks like he's doing something.
He was on private servers.
Okay, so same IP, sponge, Swiss up, we're playing lead skeets, it's a lot of fun.
And yeah, after this game, we're gonna go get some newbies for the looks of things.
Five rounds in a row for spirit, can bait break in!
Oh, MPL! Caught a timing, only able to find one magic fall back towards the back of sight!
Only able to secure one, two on two, but bomb sight. In the hands of bait.
Best chance I've had of some time.
Definitely is, but from the feel of this half, how feasible is it for them to hold on to it?
Says he's waiting for the Zontics push. Not from Heaven, meanwhile, Shiro.
Molly in wait and main.
Smoke goes back down. Every player in known position because of the U2.
Both these players can focus on it, although Zontics able to find the first one.
Drops down to back side. Alex knows what's going on.
Oh, it goes down in the bomb!
The kill comes in!
Oh, it's...
Oh, it was so close!
Wait, wait, wait!
He's done it!
He's got the round!
Yeah, he's done it.
He's done that.
Surely.
No time.
No time.
Oh!
The spread!
OK, we keep going.
No map point here.
The last second spread.
Oh, I love this.
That was such a robbery, if that spread like that.
That's how he went for the volley, not the kills.
That's thinking for the round win there not playing for the stats not playing for the clip or the clutch
Molly the bomb hope they don't have a smoke
And the rest Hugo is history. You always loved history Hugo. How I get to become a part of it
One of my favorites
Me who round game? Oh
Even even you win the round there boys all five players went down right so you look at those seven nails around
It's all top rush. What do you think?
I think that's the call. I think that should be the call.
It's crazy. It's crazy.
Yeah, but you've got to, you need it.
I tell you what, it shows they have some balls if they do it.
I think you've got to do, you can't just play a default.
You've got to Mac 10 and like three Galils.
You did someone, a pocket strat needs to be deployed right now.
Kennesaw had a Galil and then bought the Mac 10.
Oh, it's a rush, it's a rush for sure.
They're gonna be up for a minute.
Yeah, they let him go first.
They're heading up in door or going through heart. There's the nade.
Okay
To be a first tempo and you can wait for the early uter no one wants to be half health before you go no one wants that
That's fine. Yeah, it's a pop
Jamman you can stand there all condescending
My corner you want to get out of the culture
He's back seat casting
I'll get some decent damage to Sussie through the smoke, 3 T's make their way towards the
secret.
That'll do donkey, that'll do.
Okay.
4.
Miracle required.
Oh, what's that?
Yeah, they think he's on the other side of the door, that's about 10, he's gonna
have to do some heavy lifting.
Easy kill, but Shiro looks at map wind is completely locked into this point the Mac 10, but down to back
Okay, that's not a hero necessarily a chance boys. Oh, they'd be fine
Blink of an eye backside wanted
Surely not Kansas or 23 HP
Finds magic the rounds on that's exactly what donkeys in these low. Oh, but it's just not
Crosshair's not on the right spot. Spirit do finally secure the map point
Should rush up a
I am a all would have been different or a pop. Oh now we can
So
Anubis
Looking very likely a boys who are tech minds Mac 10s girls again
Desperate times. Maybe this is the app the a rush. Maybe this it might be the wrong
This is too obvious. Yeah
I guess you're right, at this point it probably is.
You may as well type in all chat with rushing A.
So, Spirit started 4 towards A, it's what they were worried about.
I'm looking at the Nades, they're both holding Nades in heaven.
They are waiting for the pop.
Not the rush necessarily, but delayed.
Smokes come outside, they do look like they want this A here right now
with Alex on main, 4 players setting up Lobby.
This is the final swing from Bait on Nuke.
No way, Donk!
That's a way to start off the round.
Bait without their centerpiece coming in through main, it feels like there's no way into any sort of form of the site.
If a one kill is found, you need to trade it back.
And it's just...sizzy.
a little
Waiting for the player to push from main bomb on back so a chance especially after the first kill secured low HP
Besides the drop-down vent
Sure is ahead of him
Sure doesn't need to commit he hasn't made for the bomb. He's in the open
And that is it. That's all you remember to you spirit knock bait back into a third map
It was a stomp on Mirage from Bate Spirit, slow start, woke up here on Nuke and now we get to see the combination on a new beast.
But first, Leedski over on the server, Chad Twitter, see you there.
So, we are playing train A-side together.
I choose this position in heroic because it's very good position because you can help
a lot on A-side and also you have optional for rotational B-side and you can be mobility
on the map. The reason why I'm playing this role is because it's very important to get
first contacts and win the duels, so I'm good in it. If you will ask me about do I like it,
yeah, I really like it, and I don't want to play any other position. He's just terminator,
he just stays in one position, enemy out from main or pop, he just like helicopter kill all
and he's funny.
He's laughing and screaming like a ass.
When I played in CSGO, I played with AWP.
For me, it was a very good map because I'm jumping like a monkey
from one turn to the second turn and then just kill all,
because in FaceIt, guys don't know how to smoke something,
and it was a very good map for all players.
It's very big difference in one option.
You don't care about that side because you don't stay and kill all.
You can rotation every round to be on the other side.
I feel so comfortable in this position and for real.
for real. Maybe only one heart if enemy have a good control map and if they take pop and
also we don't do something on A like some stuff. It's very hard for control of this map because
you don't have a lot of positions for playing passive defense on this map. If you stay passive
and sold out a lot of positions on this map and don't have control, it's very hard for take
some popes on it.
Depends on positions.
If you play close, not like aggressive, I would say.
You have to smoke like T mid.
If you play pass, if it's more important to smoke pop.
Yeah, but you should smoke inside pop,
because if you will smoke like for all pop,
because in the game, smoke is very big.
It's not a very big problem for enemy out through the smoke.
I remember only one highlight on this map.
I had highlight against Aurora,
Aurora probably it was a Dallas. I did 4k kills and the last kill, X-Loud still killed my kill.
Anti-screen can't even speak fucking bitch why he still lays.
Maybe triple kill with CDEGLE or Niko against NAP at PJ Austin.
And maybe like I played T side but I killed Pop, I killed Kona, I killed Timit.
Like it was against which to spray at Katowice 25.
For me, the best option, if you don't have a lot of money, I always try to buy XM,
and try to run inside pop, closer to the apartment, because you have a very close position.
And XM is a very strong CS2, you can punch out everyone, right?
And also you have two potentials, because you see Shadow before he can out to you.
It was just at peace and I felt like there's going to be something for me, anyway.
Now it's going to come down to shots.
Really important, like if you want to rush B, you know you can just collect your teammates like hitting the spawn.
I have a few snap tabs if you're interested.
Say, you got any more of those?
Jump throw?
A-listers, laner?
No speed!
Please, please, please, please, please.
Test is your snap tap, it is your pro league. The fuck was he thinking?
Yeah, starting to look a little bit scary here for Furia now, 10-5 for 3D Max as now
they're on a better end of the economy, but AWP is in play from all the do it and you
can certainly do a lot with an AWP. In fact, I mean, Fallen's famous I think for whenever
Pass came in in like 2015 2016 whenever it was he dominated with the op on this map
Perhaps he's passed down the wisdom to Molotov one would imagine so and it is a run from 3d max
They're gonna try to evade the entire setup and just get straight onto the A site and this is not dissimilar to some of the
Place we also saw from furia on that T side. I think Molotov has heard something look at the rotation
You can dart and fall in you must be close enough flash
No way! It's a perfect end!
Oh, this is fabulous!
Oh, this is madness!
So, I don't know why Leedski wouldn't work or a variation of it, but we'll get there eventually.
But we have another rat, so we're trying to get Hugo in.
So, someone's going to get kicked for Hugo. Keep spamming, Hugo.
I'm spamming.
Keep spamming, okay?
He's in? Okay, nice.
No, I'm not in.
You're not in?
I'm ready for kick.
MC's kicking people. I can see him getting kicked.
I'm pressing.
Others are just beating you too, man.
It's a very exclusive club, as I recall.
Come on, MC. Kick him all.
Kick all the jigglers. Kick the jigglers.
Fuck, sorry, I'm the only A-cam out.
Someone just died to the rat trap. That's what I heard that.
I'm making a big play.
I was thinking someone's got a scout.
That's the only thing that could be moved.
How are we just saying how long range the combat was?
What's this red thing in the corner? Who killed me, man?
Someone called Ratty. That's oddly correct.
One of the problems is these servers don't have enough slots. Not the servers, the maps.
Yeah, but what's the lore on this picture?
I don't know what you're looking at. Is it a man?
Yeah, a man looking in, like, frid.
I'm not sure. To be honest, I haven't looked around the whole map.
MC?
He's trying, you guys.
He's checking.
He's kicking people, bro. They're kicking constantly.
Don't worry about me.
I'm spamming both teams.
We died to the rat trap.
Oh there Henry you're gonna
Very expensive as I recall can we get the bomb planted that's what I want to see I've got the bomb right now, so yes
This is my rats version
This is my rats. I am the king of the rats Wow, which team
Henry's the Henry's making some moves here. I go in the rat trap Henry. Oh, you can teleport up a portal. Yeah, dude
I didn't know that existed. Okay
Careful now don't walk on the rat trap
All right, Henry the bomb gets planted. Let me see if I can find it you need to go. I'm near the sink, right?
It's different on this one. I think
Is it in the fridge on this one?
He's in the fridge.
Iconic con of line.
Yes!
T side, goat side, Henry.
We got this.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Is this, is this turning?
You careful looking around at some of these images.
Some of them.
Some of them are bad?
Some of them are bad.
Okay, all right.
Right, well...
Just baked it right into the map.
How bad are we talking about?
Pretty, pretty bad.
The microwave opens!
I'm there to hold down its...
Cat, isn't it?
Of the Holy Shell.
What's going on?
Huh?
One guy left.
One guy left, what are the easter eggs that we find?
Oh, as Harry said, don't look at the walls.
Oh yeah true.
Harry said don't look at the walls.
Got a harry's whole bit.
One of the spawns is uh...
Well on the CTO T side.
T side.
of Henry don't look around.
What can I hear?
I can hear something getting yelled right now in the game.
Yeah, making me nervous.
Yeah, it can't be good stuff, I'm imagining.
The other rats was pretty good.
The other rats didn't have any of this going on.
I
Just use the teleporter again man

Got to be checking my shock.

What's up ladies and gentlemen, final map of the
What's up ladies and gentlemen, final map of the evening, final series of the day.
We've got Spirit, we've got Bait and it was Spirit fighting their way back on Nuke.
It was Donk having his magical moment finally coming to fruition and they'll start on the
CT side here of the Nubis.
It's considered a T-sided map but I would still say that Spirit are the favorites.
Yeah, I feel like at this point all expectations from that first map have reset.
Spirit has woken up, gone to the server.
Sure, Nuke wasn't a...
Or Nuke was a close affair, I will say.
It wasn't the closest game in the world,
but it was definitely still Beat
putting up a fight to stay in it.
So anyone's series, but Spirit definitely,
I would say are the odds on favorite.
And Beat, she's gonna start with a nice little A-pop.
Straight through rugs, no presence shown
towards the water.
Molotov goes into camera and the hit ensues.
Let's have a look then. Oh, he's looking very convincing to say the least. Shiro mowing
them down, finds himself a hat-trick here. Job is done. He goes with a flashy play. Was
the required? Absolutely not, but you can't hate him for it. The round should be decided
at this point. They will slow it down. We'll see whether there's anything left to play
for here. Problem is they have evacuated the B site, but the bomb is down, I suppose.
So it's absolutely fine, essential, and Alex, hoping for the best here, hoping for a couple
more kills, I would say almost 0% chance of win.
Yeah, it feels almost impossible.
I mean, that's too good, so maybe damage can be found elsewhere, but with the smoke going
down, it forces the teams to swing in, okay, good try.
Spirit collect what they're due, pistol round secured, and I will say, although obviously
Anubis is new this is Bates first recorded map on Anubis so okay that doesn't bode well necessarily
no well to be fair spirits only had I guess there's no data there's no information out there on them
that's the angle more positive spin on the whole situation um but that was very convincing smoke
down at a perfect time shiro beautiful little hat trick and now we have what do we got mp7s mp9s
and m4 for donk and that should be enough we have got the force by with no bomb being
plant it. Says he will operate with our Kevlar, but he has got a full belt of utility. Don't
take anything out for any sound cues here, jiggling a mane. Let's drop that incendiary,
doesn't want to be part of too many fights here, so we need to spot one. Lock them off,
they're going through, that is. Ambitious boys, hasn't paid off.
No, but why not keep pushing, see if you can get anything done?
Churro won't let that happen yet, and it doesn't look like anyone on Churro will let
let that happen second verse same as the first spirit cool calm collected
it's the first pistol round and conversion of the series true we won one
pistol round and the whole thing other than this one it was back on mirage and
if you've forgotten it that's because they lost the follow-up and then got
wrecked so yeah nice nice way to say it yeah sign of the how things have
changed in this one I think you would love a good CT star I mean a good CT
star on new business basically the epitome of having the right pad to win if
you can get around secured early on oh my goodness just using the virtual
system I believe they are they are using the two but I'll say is the window
oh valve you killed it with the window change so to revise the map I think
It's actually my favorite map in the pool, right?
It was my favorite before it was removed.
I only played it once with you guys since,
but it's a great addition.
It just allows, you know,
there's actually an option for the CTs.
It's kind of changed the contact points a little bit,
you know, like the idea that you have to watch
for the window drop.
It's nice.
It's nice. It's a good change.
They rarely get it right first time, you know?
The window on vertigo, you will remember that.
So sometimes just put a window in it, the solution.
But in this case, it was a door.
That was the solution.
Dissuading the Zs from entering AMAIN, but they're gonna push the smoke, trying to get some control here, essential showing presence at the very least.
Bought towards middle on the back of MPL. Just going through the motions here, trying to ascertain some control.
Looking to get it towards dark potentially.
Another smoke down towards AMAIN, stifling utility.
Yeah, a minute left no clear direction of where bait wants to try to take this it does seem
What did you got left there? You got one flash again. We talked about it's a nuke
How do you even enter a bomb say?
We've known of the choke points flushed down the Molotovs to make the CTs uncomfortable as the aim of the game on this sort of round especially
You'd be flushing out those close-range smg's
Now you're just going to go to the aim jewels and hope for the best
So near spots them doesn't take any damage
Trying to rock that clock
They make their way in towards A, and through the smokes they go, you can see they're cutting in first, what are you supposed to do?
Nothing. There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you're supposed to do.
You've run the clock down, that's just a perfect ground account, I strike there from spirit. Are you... no notes?
Yeah, I mean, the utility usage was great throughout our mid-round to just completely stop baiting their tracks no matter where they were trying to go.
So you ended with three SMGs, you leave it three AK-47s. Holy shit.
Stocks have ever seen it.
Well, that is feeling like a game already, like you just got absolutely bollocks by a SMG setup there.
They didn't come into it with full util and like the T side now is really demanding in terms of utility.
Yeah, but you were up against three SMGs.
I know.
Which...
No, no, no, I get it. Like I'm not defending that round.
I'm just saying. I don't think it's over. Like they're gonna have more in the future.
The map is very demanding now for util for the T's.
Like you almost have to throw like the anti-rush util every round.
that already some tracks of molly and a naïve from the overall pool and if you
want to do your smokes to try and take the water control you're getting rid of
con you're getting rid of that angle that's another bugger they don't put
money in here they love that I just hope they have enough to have like full
belts on everyone in the next that's what they need
Okay, it's fine, it's fine. There we go.
Hit it.
Sure doesn't seem too worried about it though.
Falls back towards the staircase onto A.
Once again, bait just grouped up in A main.
Two players within mid trying to do a bit of a pincer.
Which is going unchecked.
NPO finds his way into ruins.
And then the CT. This gets interesting now. Bomb doesn't have to commit to A.
Is there anything left to be said about the trap? I'm not sure. They are smoked out towards
A main once again.
MPL is the craziest route. He's getting a kill from this minimum. Maybe two.
and wait, take nine, train to the head, double tap,
Shiro out of the rounds, very fast with the trade,
made beautiful damage, but unfortunately for them,
no kills to follow with it.
So, they have the AWP.
AK-47, low HP, a couple of players,
three on two advantage, he was looking promising
for a second, but the round is down a scissor,
he'd been told he's a future goat.
Delivering the goods so far, one more to go,
it would have to be a very precise and quick shot,
not going to land this time. Good effort, but it will be 5-0.
It feels like you need to do that on the backstab.
Focus time.
Got him out down.
Yeah, he tried, right? Like, you kind of can't hold that forever.
I know. I like the routing from MPL. The downside to it is,
like, you get a really strong position. They have no idea about it.
But it does take a lot of time to get there going on that flank silently.
And so, like, really, he needed both players holding main out in the open.
The fact that one of them had just peeled back to go and watch mid was, I think, just unfortunate for MPL, really.
Oh, we do a full buyout for mid.
Up on city.
I have to see if anything changes.
Considering the weaponry now in the hands.
Not the tees.
Well, how are you, Astrid? They've got all the utility they could possibly ask for, yeah.
All the molotovs are smoked, the flashes, the AKs, the orbs.
It's all there. Full of tendency.
No one going down early.
Going for the motions here, the spams towards middle.
I'm a little nervous. I think they're stuck maybe miscalculating exactly what they needed for the site here.
They've burned four of their five smokes off the top, but nothing.
Like it's got them some control over the water.
Okay, opening kill. It's nice still it comes a flash push
double flash
Oh, so that great
Okay, there they are
buggered here boys really
It was looking promising for a split second and I really mean it a split second they got an opening kill then that
Reactions towards be main pushing through like that with a double flash bang a thing of beauty
He spotted the Molotov being deployed at the same time. You know, that's damn deal that point don't go the double kill
Eight and zero right now the AK in his hands. He had a slow start into the series
But my god, is he turning it on right now zone takes up there with him as well
She wrote nine and two and we go six zero on the CT side. We're just pretty much nothing accomplished ever baits
Nothing accomplished this map so far a total of
If I'm counting right six kills off the entirety of the T side, a kill around is not going to
do it when you're going against one of the best in a timeout being taken.
What does bait have to do to get into this?
Because for me it just kind of feels like Spirit are outclassing them just in terms
of their own any map.
Yeah, yeah.
You're seeing that, right?
making really really solid mid-round moves, the reaction here, aggression in through B main.
Also just a little bit nerve-wracking now, there's been some like UTEL problems in these rounds
and it's not the case where it's like, ah, you're missing it, it's like no, actually you're all nailing the smokes, the UTEL.
You're just doing too much, you know, you're spreading yourselves very very thin here.
And it left them with nutlight. Even if they didn't all die, B main, for that execute, they had a couple of molotovs and that's it.
They had no way to lock out temple, you would have been fully vulnerable to rotate, you had no way to block CT.
You had one smoke on the guy furthest away that was lurking a
Like that was not a
You know it's set up to win you the round. I want to see something before direct play together go with the util
Go with it early. You get the opening here 5v4
Maybe just try and follow through with that and go together with the util down
It's not compromising
It is a bunch of that so far
She wrote though with the hot-hands 10 and 2
Don't have to rush this one now. The hard work's been done. You've got a massive advantage.
Alex, we did this one well. The spray though. Bomb goes down and makes things a little bit more uncomfortable.
With damage done, man advantage is still there. Plenty of time remaining.
Trying to find magics. Actually deploying a dark room.
In Sendry they bring it back to a 3 on 3. They do sniff our magics eventually.
Into what's B we go.
Partitions can be quick from the CTs. Whoever's on excuse and go for the long flight
I even hear you've smoked temple says he says cheers, bro
You're still gonna win the round. Yeah, or at least you should
You definitely should be winning this one. Oh, you've got so much money on CT side that will do it
Shiro, AK-Mutters, well said that I guess. They famously can't buy that on the CT side, you're not going to win this one.
Look some exits.
But it's the first round of the board. Hopefully first and many. They kind of need a 6-6 score line, not going to lie.
Yeah, even if not 6-6 you definitely need more than one. I think like four would be a bearer minimum.
I mean when this map was also back in the pool, like this was one that Spirit actually had some embarrassing losses on.
I can imagine upon its re-entry, they likely said, like,
let's not have that happen again, you know, let's not get ninja diffused by, I think it was Jambo, like that.
You know, none of that crazy stuff. Let's really nail it down.
I think this maps becomes something that someone like a Donk would quite like, you know, it can be quite...
Well now we have those aggressive maneuvers.
Yeah, right. There's a lot of options.
Yeah.
There's a lot of moves you can make.
I think...
And you're seeing your, like, Spirit are really doing a good job of showing those options off in the CT round.
CT round seeing there's an interview or maybe a few of Donk when he says he doesn't like an Ubers in general
I think he said he hates it out. So maybe license new changes. We'll see
8 and 1 right now
It's all going quite swimmingly on the CT side money's still very strong
Close to five digits and almost everyone but Sam at sea of MPL can find a gap here
Still boost up in towards middle and shiro seems to be ready for that
Good God, that's brutal. And he knows someone else's ass in a fallout grenade.
Nice idea. Definitely didn't stick the landing. 5 on 4.
Central made some presence in AMAIN. Already concedes it.
Tries to group back up. Seems like the E-Box play.
That's what bait wants to try to end with bomb being scooped up.
Even now, like Spirit is still making moves.
Bit of aggression out towards the fountain just for a deeper spot on A main.
Magic's has rotated away from B.
Sound like he's crazy far away, but he's about to B.
Okay, window of opportunity has just opened up for bait.
They've got two guys to get past here.
As soon as Don drops that smoke there, what do you do?
nothing you can't you can't run through that and share a collection over and you
just have to wait like you run through you've lost around you have to re-evaluate
knowing I bait look a little lost yeah what do you I guess you just hold and
then Brian's way or you just save him he's gonna call the same you've got
One smoke couple flashes 14 seconds. Yeah, they're not going for it
71
Fortunately, there's no point to I mean
I know you're at the point of the game where you're thinking round need to get rounds on the board, but I'll throw the waver
Um, yeah, just like the spirit started like they set the precedent very early on against the antico
Which I think squad should be doing like are we gonna push we're gonna fight for this
It's become very mad to go and fight for that water control. So it's like you've made them paranoid about it early
Now they almost have to respect like your your stairs smoke
Now you've just shut down their little gimmick of the boost, you know, like
Couldn't be more ready for every try. That's so sick
All right, seven one they saved some guns, but it's getting a bit desperate up and now we said six six
But like he was required of one seven to one and now you got tech nine is a glow. I
I said peace I would say the defaults on work you're getting zero map control you're getting locked out
I think it's spirit you say you know the low money. They're running out of ideas watch the sites
Yeah, and into a two-on-two. They've got right on mid control there. They're ready for this
Strip execution you can do some good flashes from rugs for a man. You can get sure of the angle
But whether they've got that in there their arsenal time will tell so that's the cake
Molotov cake I should say
Flashes go in, Shiro dodges them, and gets an easy kill.
Zontics backing him up as well.
A little bait and switch for Zontics, right?
I'm just going to play on Shiro's shot.
Okay.
One wrestled back and comes to me to try and lock it down.
Down to a retake here, though.
First one.
Four bait.
Let's see how they fare.
Definitely the most vulnerable round in a while for bait, but it's just down to
Alex.
Nice base.
Oh, good night.
I tried 56 health to the nade a singular shot of Agix. It's just almost impossible for bait to really get anything going right for them
That was the best chance they've had in a while, but a convincing victory in the end once more double AK is taken into the next round
There's good entries. Oh lovely entries. I actually wouldn't even hate if they ran back that same round
Yeah, I even again, you know, I don't think spirit lean into the two on two out of the gate again
They're probably expecting you to get some for your sheroes there. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's actually not the worst call
Thank you, that's what I'm to be not the worst
Just a run above the words
That's the deep a main smoke I believe oh they have been a two one two so bloody good thing they're not doing it again
What do you do
Was on explaining in front of said smoke
I could just like play possum roll over and die.
Yeah.
Dude, he wants more as well.
I'm not gonna get it.
Don't expect shiro.
Even if you do, it's too quick.
Kenzie, you're not gonna push that higher.
Surely not.
That's some damage with the nade.
Another one available.
Even more.
Shiro not shaken though.
the remainder of the tease try to focus towards be there's been no success over on this side
of the bomb excuse me this bomb site see you later I hate to be a pessimist boys but this
one is done unfortunately wrap it up now before I start the engine could try like they're
Making moves that they're trying their best to flush his positions out.
This two-man set up towards a man has been a real thorn in their side.
Again, money's broken.
Go for the half-buy.
It's also just not a good time.
It's like the first set of rounds are going wrong.
Like, they're the ones you're meant to kind of have a bit ironed out.
You know, kind of down pat.
Like, first few rounds of the game, you're all meant to be on the same page.
It just sets you off on, like, really uneasy ground.
You know, like, the rounds you're meant to have rehearsed.
Oh, the five-man mating middle.
Okay, it's an idea.
It's an idea.
No one home. Zero damage inflicted.
Oh, what are you getting at, Colise?
Fucking, there's an ace there. It's styling on him.
Okay, that was an idea. That was a concept, Harry.
A five-man nape.
Did zero damage.
Shiro moved them down.
And it's the last round of the half.
They're hoping for 10-2.
I don't...
Five-nade mid-window?
I don't really think anyone's ready to be playing
around the mid-window anymore.
True.
Oh, I think someone went down the space program as well.
Double orb set up to close things out.
Donk's loving it.
He's a bigger newbie, Spine.
He loves it.
Dude, this is too easy.
Just freebies all over the map.
Double orb out for Spirit as well.
He's going to flush him out.
No one will be quite.
Five and four.
Eleven.
11-1, looking incredibly likely. Fair play though, we have to commend Bates for their
showing on Mariah- sorry, what was the first map? Was it Mariah?
Yeah, yeah.
The way they look there, beautiful.
Yeah, everyone remembers it.
They even had their moments on Nuke. It's just Anubis, clearly a map that is in their
playbook, one they weren't prepared for I would say.
But it looks like we're going to crash and hold unfortunately a chance, I suppose,
I suppose we're done going down.
And have you tilled to go in.
That's good.
Nice follow top.
Sendering making a lot of sound here.
All battle.
Chance, a window.
Vashira right behind, tries to go for the next one.
PL, they're looking for a mad kill.
Till on two.
I mean, there is a chance I suppose.
There it is.
However, it ease bait.
Picking up their second round,
Spirit look unstoppable,
but maybe bait can run a little bit old momentum
as we head into the final half of the day.
I'm done, son You can't take back some things
You're already done and done You're playing the only thing that you do
What's best, don't let the all see it
But the all see it's you need help
Mmm, a quick spin
Try so hard
Cover up your games
And try so hard
Oh, don't let one day stop and go on and change
You waste all your time coming up new tracks
And all your pain is running away
You got much to stop and just pass
Cause it's been so much of your life's game
You try to get over it
Got you wondering why you come around
All your gifts go short
Yeah, oh, you've tried so hard
To cover up your gaze
You tried so hard
For the night, one day
Something's gonna change
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
Yeah
So hard
Final half of the evening after taking out Fury at 2-1 yesterday, it was bait opening
up this series of a convincing victory on the ride. 13-4. It looked like they were playing
lights out, but they have been caught out here on a Nubis. They couldn't get anything going
on their T side. A measly two rounds picked up, and it looks like they're a bit out of
their dead fair, boys. But we continue. We prevail. We hope for the best, and it
will be five sets of Caval on the CT side here. It goes about same, but I'll say
it anyway. They need to win the pistol. It's a requirement.
I have an important question for you guys.
Yeah, sure.
about the historic fate 2 to 10 comeback on Nubis.
I haven't, but I'm willing to laugh.
So it started out beautifully.
I mean, obviously the first half didn't go too well,
but pistol round, second half, Alex actually gets an ace.
Believe it or not, Alex gets an ace.
Oh, yeah, an ace, but hey, this is a start that they need.
They have the player advantage.
They snuffed out.
The hit that was trying to come in.
Okay, a few more twists and turns yet it seems.
That's if they can take down magic.
So there's 100 HP, USB available.
No Kevlar to note, he has got a bomb and a smoke to work with plenty of time.
Up against Kenzie, and essential.
I mean, Magic really has time to play with the heads of Bade.
I feel like there's so much pressure inside of all these players' minds right now.
They're playing very defensively.
No one wants to be that player going down.
Playing the sound cue.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just let Magic completely get out on the B bomb side and wait for a retake.
Think that's honestly the the wise move. Yeah
He's gonna have a smoke as well he can he know I've seen from Agis POV. He's got all the smoke lineups. He'll be
Smoking temple, I'd imagine or maybe just walks in and takes the fire with the USP
I think you probably if the post plan. Yeah, all the timing
And it's I mean, yeah, it's too far. It's that one retake now
Maybe no
Clearing dog just making sure he doesn't get pounced on as soon as he tries to plant now
He knows where his post plot. Do you want to go for a fake plan or just stick it?
Didn't even make the sound I don't think maybe did but either way
They do collect the desirable pissed around that we said they needed now
It's just a matter of how far can they run with this as you mentioned though
Spirit of force for every second round so far even about the plants is it required right now?
No if you're playing it by the book you don't force by this round you got such a massively you don't need to win this at all
Just bring out the AKs in the next round. Yeah, surely
And that's what they'll go for glocks just one flashbang I guess it's flash a man in rush that position
Is what I would assume
And indeed it looks to be the case
MPL
Shombing at the bit to farm some money, building some confidence here.
Flash is being deployed.
Too bad they have lost a player.
Oh, Alex is going down as well.
It was at least secure one more kill before he falls into his mind.
Shiro, MP9 collected, has to reload.
Players know his position.
Getting picked from both sides.
Aang.
Ooh, range move.
His time is done.
Now those are decent damage.
We'll take two kills.
Yeah.
Glocks across the board helps him buy a couple more pieces of utility
AKs across the board and the follow-up round here 10 to 4
Okay, Sizi is a good spawn for dark if he wants to go for like the insta peek down into water and try and fight this
Which might be a nice way to get the AWP involved it seems like it's exactly what he's gonna go for
Smoke does go deep, it won't block his sight line, see the player passing through bridge, don't...
Good player to find first!
And Alex with a main aggression, able to secure a two player lead.
Okay, starting to get a little bit interesting now.
Convincing start here.
We've lost two players off the get-go, no damage received on the bait side.
There's one smoke remaining here, there's so much time on the clock, you'd have to feel
it out a little bit, see what's available.
All we have to do, fall back to the bomb sites here, enable those crossfires.
One and done positions are absolutely fine here.
Looks to be an A finish.
goes down. Very nice on the timing. Well read. Pop it open and see if they can get a cheeky
one. Molotov towards a new box as well. Just playing back towards the pillar, pushes forward,
tries to spray, Shearer gets the better of him. And now Spirit, two eventually make headway
out of that smoke. However, bomb drop, 28 seconds player, stationed towards camera behind
Big box spraying away to near to no avail
Hey, Magix free for a second against the orb the comms we made those large P in the USP will finish things off
Okay, that's pretty convincing no bomb planted should be another partial by situation tactical time now now from two spirits
Too early to say that this potentially could be interesting
This is exactly what had to happen. Just that even have any sort of a game
Cause I mean 4 rounds being the difference definitely feels a lot better than 8 rounds.
So partial buyers mention that the Eagles, Tech Nines, sort of round though, you need to
make sure you put to bed if your baits can't afford to let this one slip by.
It'd be pretty good overall, converting these ones on you they lost a couple but generally
speaking they've handed down Tico's pretty well. You can see the close things out there
guarantee the rounds. They're 5 on 3, they almost had a look into it. A partial smoke
down, deep in their main. Enders feeling out the map here, they're trying to date out
our initial utility, they'll do the large smoke over towards B as well. Try and make
I'm uncomfortable, but I'm on the A side of the map right now.
Don't quit the Desert Eagle, cut us off a helmet as well.
A few nice shots from the previous map.
There's no telling what Donk will do in any given round.
There's a potential for Dark to get overwhelmed by these pistols.
Shiro sets up a flash.
I think it's better if the magic skip is mid control.
Kenzie's playing back though. Probably won't get caught out by these pistols on the initial close.
Drops of smoke as soon as he sees a shoulder donk.
Okay, well that's one headshot collected. Let's see how many more he could get.
Zontik's tech nine is good for one as well.
Bomb gets tapped. Kills fall spirits way.
3v2.
Susie and Alex, you can't let the pistols take advantage of you this way.
This was your opening into the map.
Yeah, we said this is the round.
They had to convert.
It's not looking good.
They have the smoke, but no longer have Alex.
Susie, that's looking impossible.
Nothing he can do here apart from take a couple of players down with him.
He will not be winning this one.
There's the kill, but the trade will come through.
That's the nightmare situation.
You let them back in that's round picked up that that's burning the second half and the money for
bait
great
That's cool time out
They still definitely afford to have a decent enough for spy
but at the end of the day, I mean
Now you're staring down the barrel of you
They're going flawless seven rounds in a row if you save and give this round up or play to try to prevent any sort of overtime
And if you lose completely screw yourself out of the next round
I will say that the meaner of all the players on bait have not changed this entire series.
Whether they were winning or losing, they've all looked very locked in, very focused, like
no emotion.
Is it the end of the road?
It might as well be getting there.
You've got three MP9s and a Famous at single M4.
He's in the hands of Sizi right now.
16 years old, young prospect with the future.
The main smoke goes down, you can see of Shiro.
Speaking of Shiro, AWP 22 and 7.
Fantastic series, we're going all around.
Yeah, totally.
How do you know the B-Stream still going?
I'll be in the loo.
Check him while...
I can give you an update.
Oh that would be nice.
3D Max 1, 2, 0.
2, Furia.
Oh damn dude.
Furia?
Yeah.
0, 2, huh?
Yeah they fumbled us too in overtime.
They had a pretty convincing L on Overpass.
Damn.
So the playoffs compensation might not even be a factor for them.
Yeah.
Losing Fallen.
the ride or die, you know, they fall and all they lose with him.
So they lost use to play with Adam.
They lost the baits to one, they've lost 3D Max user.
That is not normally, I would say.
Sort of the joint foot and phase.
Well, put our attention to the game at hand, because with 30 seconds left, Spirit do need
to get the ball rolling on this site take, MPL force back by the mall, it's a good
kills from the MP9, stay alive longer, maybe it's not dead in the water for bait, maybe
there's still a chance, a little bit of breathing room.
Okay, the rounds won. There's no time. And they can recover some AKs here, which they've already done.
Spotted and not giving too much away here. Peppering away.
And yeah, there is some life. Less than them yet.
Magics, I guess. I might as well say again, five seconds. It's done.
Let me go 11 to 6. That's actually to get three AKs out of that. They came in what?
Three MP9s and a Famous 1M4. Yep. Pretty amazing outcome, all things considered.
It's a massive lifeline, you just got to remember right, they lost that last one to the lower take up against pistols.
That's a round that you can end up beating yourselves up about if this gets really really close.
It's like just don't make that same mistake again, you know, they're gonna be coming in with a scrappy buy.
It's gonna be missing some pieces here.
So try and play the home field advantage as it were, you know, set back in some crossfires, play the distance a bit.
That spirit will go for the force here.
97 out, four Zontics.
Tech nine on magics, AKM four up.
Potential due damage, but definitely not all the bells and whistles you're looking for.
Heavy focus towards B-man.
Potentially spirit a bit of a quicker pace.
Try to change up, catch bait off guard.
Molotov goes out for sensual, the T's pushing.
Kills back and forth, sensual, able to even up the numbers and take the lead.
Beautiful spraydowns, optics, that sole SMG that we messaged before.
The only one left completely out of position.
With a bomb in the smoke, I mean.
The sacrifice of himself. I'm gonna find an a.k.a
He's just like, you know, what make me just take me down boys. I really got the epi seven trying to find an a.k.a in the smoke
Gotta be a rival around here somewhere. Oh, I'll be better. He'll do nicely
Unlikely holds on to it, but we'll see what he can do
Have some fun
I haven't seven
That was a pretty much full investment as well, right? So mm-hmm the loss bonus sure
it's established but he saves your yeah maybe they can do something with it but
as I mentioned it's very unlikely they are giving him quite a lot of respect
though so on takes 100 HP 12 and 9 right now hovering outside the B bomb
site is he I don't want to give anything away yet the bomb is still down so drop
the smoke on top of the bomb gets an interested in it
I'll put up his position now with the U-Tail, trying to flash them out one by one.
Ah, no dice.
So another partial here.
Dolce-Bone is at 4th stage.
Since rejoining spirit, Zontics has one AWP kill on record in official, so I wasn't expecting sparks to fly there in the one on 4.
Really good hold from the central.
Clinical shooting.
in nice work shuts them down still not really in the danger zone just yet and
we've seen spirit win these rounds as well but an AK in the hands of Donk I
think definitely a little bit of sweat on your forehead at least you know you
are realizing that it is slowly slipping away whether or not you're in real
danger is up to interpretation I think it's gonna pop this smoke why not
There! Oh, don't spray down on the scissor.
Uh-oh, that's an opener.
Yeah, you can reset this round. You've taken no real damage for your troubles here.
All the meanwhile, Magix has found some space towards the middle.
The rotation's coming through.
Even though the TEC-9 firing off, right? Just to give the illusion, hey, we're multiple players in A.
You want to rotate on this. You want to bring extra guys over.
Bait did, but they very quickly have left it to a solo hold.
They're trying to get ahead of the spirit here.
Seems to be doing exactly that.
Oh, Matrix does occupy MPL as the hate does start to come in.
Worried about the dark player.
Hensie, good for two. MPL close.
Retake attempt, sprang down, able to collect one kill, and now two tech nines.
Here's the AK of Alex. Rifle secured for Zontics as well.
It's unfortunate. It's got a mountain to climb here. No smoke for the bomb.
How's it called the defuse, could I suppose? But you've got two players to find.
It just doesn't feel possible. How do you segregate these fights? You've got to tap the bomb once.
I hope that someone peeps, and they'll certainly will.
Zontix makes light work of our final kill. I guess if they've got one more tactical time,
I'll use it now. There is still plenty of cash in the CT side,
but we have got five opportunities now to close things out for Spirit.
So, credit to Bait for, you know, having the 4-2-2 fight back to at least this point.
It wasn't a blowout in the end, like, still pretty respectable.
And for such a young squad going up against a team like Spirit and having their respectable
enough performance, I mean, you could walk away with some sort of happiness.
Look at Mirage, like, if anything does strike, we just did this to one of the world's
best Counter-Strike players and teams in general.
We made them look very average, 13-4 victory.
So that came up, sure. Convincing Wimper's spear, Anubis, even more so, but oh, like I said, a young team.
We'll see if they can keep the dream alive here.
Opening pickers there's.
I need false-riding Zon-6-Lap, although it doesn't take as much damage as one might've thought.
Bit of a reset for Spirit once more.
It feels like they're in a good position to win this round, Team Spirit still.
Yeah, and we've got Molotov for cake, Molotov in new boxes.
Here we go.
Molotov for cake.
This is actually gonna fall out by it. Alex burns alive. The op stays alive for the time being. Only two players left, four teams spirit.
But the site has been conceded. Bombing planted.
There was a chance.
There's definitely still a chance when Shiro sprays through a smoke.
Make sure you take your time because it seems to be ticking away ever so slowly.
Each kill falls in favor of spirit. One on one, Shiro.
essential in the most important round of essentials life for the time being
shiro playing around that box beautifully against the spray that's all
she wrote 13 to 7 spirit close out the day as victors in our final series gg I
believe they say 30 to 7 an admirable comeback it has to be said they lost the
first half 10 to 2 they kept it interesting in the second half but
outclassed outmaneuvered in every facet of this third and final map I'll
I would say once again, still an impressive series. I would say 13 for the first map. This team hits hard. Hello, boys. Hello and shiro putting in a shift on this one. Yeah, maybe of Doc's height. He had some flashes of brilliant here on a new bus, but he spirit across the board. Take it over the line reassuring after Mirage, shall we say?
Um, yeah, I'll reassure them. It doesn't sound too reassured.
I'm thinking more about the Furious situation right now.
Did he ever lost a 3D Max?
Yeah, you know, not inspired. I think they're not motivating.
They don't fall in some way.
You want to get land and play with your coach?
That doesn't sound fun.
I guess you're right. It's just like,
this is 3D Max, though.
I haven't been that massively impressed with him.
They've looked decent, but...
Some people do call them three rounds, man.
Yeah, exactly.
It's surprising, yeah.
It's the NBK offense.
Who did they stomp?
Stay one. Did they stomp someone?
Uh, yes.
Was it a stomp?
No, it wasn't it. They lost their opening game, right? Because, uh,
it's back in the right. Sorry, at the end of stage one, they stopped someone.
They used the strongest.
It might have been Liquid. They did play Liquid, and Liquid was, uh,
a bit of a poor performance. I don't count them.
I thought that would have been the case with Team Liquid.
How are you doing all right, man? Yeah, man.
Yeah, nice, man.
How you doing all right? I'm doing all right, man.
What did you get up to for the last couple of hours?
Uh, you know, it's just, uh, kind of chilling out.
Okay, nice. That's good.
I played some deathmatch for a bit.
I saw you doing that.
Do you feel locked in?
Not really, no.
It's a bit late as well to go play face to face.
I feel more locked in in general.
I haven't commented for a while today.
I actually got to do some real commentary.
Oh, it's the same about us.
No, in terms of I've been messing around the entire time.
Let's be honest.
So I got to hone the craft a little bit,
feel like since October I've commented properly.
So I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with my job.
I'm happy.
General, which is good.
Buck your head.
Buck your head.
Don't get so pearly.
What's your take?
Oh, dude, this is a dream come true.
No matter where the road leads from here,
the fact that I'm here living my childhood dream
and just having this for two days alone
is all I could ever wish for.
And you guys have made me feel very welcome,
so I appreciate that.
Oh, great job, dude.
It's been a fun day.
Did you have a good day, Harry?
I had a good day.
Oh, my voice is going away.
That's what I want.
I have a bit of congestion right now, Charlie.
That's what I'm worried about.
I'm trying to lean away from you for that reason.
I'm worried I have the rushed disease.
Exactly, you were close to him yesterday.
I was.
That's not good.
And it's leg day tomorrow.
Yeah, it is like, I feel you guys being
like about that.
Come on.
Leg day with the boys.
to do a million bicep on the
hump. I want to do the hump in
one is so good. Look, look,
don't talk about my bedroom
like that.
It's worse than the breakdown.
Yeah, we need to get into this.
How does this work? This looks
confusing. This is actually a big
deal. Don't worry about the matches
we've seen. We're about the
matches we're going to see. These
are the matches for tomorrow.
A quick draw to zero. Yeah,
quickest in the West or
Sweden. I would say that too.
But the two zero bucket
to lock it out first into the
playoffs. Guys, this is
important in that spirit versus
Spirit versus G2, they'll be going on tomorrow, and Mounds versus Mongols.
Two of those four names will be coming here to Stockholm, Sweden to get it done.
And two teams to be eliminated tomorrow.
We have FaZe versus Monty.
Oh, baby.
That's loseable, and Fury versus Heroic.
Okay.
Also a game.
That might be game of the day. There's a real chance I get zero.
FaZe, Monty.
Gentlemen, we get both qualification games for the arena here.
Oh, lucky us.
So I will say that I spoke to Jackson and rigged the deck and he said you guys can have all the good games
He said he likes the fun bunch better than the fun a bunch. Yeah, so we got the good games here
Bugger there before you saying you wanted to have a Mongols game. Yeah, I'm actually extremely excited
Yeah, we get this one we get a we get to see the boys in the server
How is the biggest 910 fan this side of the hemisphere?
910, 910 fan
910, 910, 910, 910, okay
Here we go time for the stream be sure we got pain versus Aurora foot versus 3d max legacy versus straws and furia versus
Heroic's around out the day so a lot of chemistry coming everyone's way for day number eight
But it everyone seems happy. Yeah, what do we have today seven? Whoa six?
It's gonna so five four. Don't cut us off
two one
Give us the parting words for the day
Bye. Ah, it's great. That's
That's good.
Good night everybody.
We'll see you tomorrow.
I'm such a weirdo, tattoos from my toes to my earlobes
With a role model I never had a hero
I learned how to live through this career
Coming from the huck-o-cum-cum-la in the bill, yo
Everything you see ain't what we need
My blues, though, everything that I built
Made that from zero, then added a zero
I am my hero, it's getting magical
It's like in my mind, it's moving in the trash
You feel it the same time
But when they askin' me when it was gang time
Do I know that they mad at me?
I'm all you can't find, I'm not from the day
I come alive at night, I'm not what you need
So clear and recognize that y'all learn to burn
While I'm takin' flight, you're welcome to join me
I promise I'll have a bite
Things they say, they're never getting in my way
And even if I make mistakes
I will always season through
Cause I don't wanna play your game
I have enough brain up so hard I just
BREAK YOUR GAME
You can never stop this building up inside of me
It's not a me
It's not a me
If I'm your monster, I guess I don't fit in with the impostors
I'm picking the mask off to clear your conscience
Prepare for honest cut off all the nonsense
I'm all of your shots, bro, when your room's shot you
Don't call it doctor, bring like a chopper
Don't shake your chopper, I'm here to stop you
Whoever wants milk, like a rooster, break your old popper
They say they never get to meet in my way
And even if I make mistakes
I know where I've always seen you through
What's that?
Cause I don't wanna fake your name
I have enough, I'm burning up
So how do I just break your name?
You can never stop spilling up the sky to me
