ESL presents the ESL Pro League in partnership with
TNTEL
Acer Predator
DHL
ZOE
and Jax
We're back to the B stream here.
We had a day off, but we are back to continue on with stage two now of ESL Pro League Season
23 here.
It's myself, Scriven there to open things up and very much looking forward to getting
into it.
We're back to our usual home here on ancient probably my favorite of the floating cameras
that we've got going to be honest with you.
What about you?
We're resting, we're recovered, we're ready for some more action and we're moving on towards
stage 2.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how things progress.
Of course, when we look towards the first stage, we've got a nice little taste of where
a lot of these teams are at, especially in the online stage, so to say, whether they're
ready for playing games in the comfort of the home.
We know that sides at times can level up online, but at the same time also, I feel
like in certain ways, underperform when it comes to online games because we know
I think you've got a tier 2 tier 1.5 size a little bit more used to this in a sense and we did see that through that first stage
So I'm looking forward to how now things progress in towards stage two
Of course now this way some are a lot of the big boys into the frame. Yeah, absolutely gonna change things up
Quite a lot I would imagine but yeah, just to kind of speak about and reiterate what you're saying
And now that we have things on the screen here a lot of upsets
I would argue in terms of you know the teams that get eliminated
I think seem like passion. You may be expected to make it through but we have three right at the end there paravision
NIP and liquid I think ahead of this you would have looked to them as the qualifying teams
You know we do have a few scarier names
But there's a couple teams that have not quite had the form this year legacy. Maybe pain. Maybe
Astralis you could potentially argue and heroic make it through with this awkward situation with their orper, right?
So they're always not a full strength. It would seem 3d max as well similar story there that they've not had a great start to the year
I'll count that though by saying that youngster the third highest rated opera is events so far. So
However, I will say I feel like a lot of people forget youngster started as an opera
Well, he didn't start as rifle. Obviously, we know at the tier one levels rifle
I think a lot of people forget that he initially started it's kind of quote unquote rise to professional player status as an
Orper. He think he's got moved to a rifle later down the line. So it's not like he's completely out of his depth with the
Orping. Here's the top 10 players we had off the back of stage one. And then the top three we see two from foot is
Krebbenny and long. So an incredible showing from both of them and not too far down the list as well. You've got
jugs as well who find yourself in seven for one point two. Krebbenny, fragging IGL, an incredible showing from him.
He, I saw a statistic that was on yesterday that he has in terms of like kills compared
to where he should be getting kills and like, you know, compared to roles and compared to
positions and comparative of kind of like his role within a team, he is kind of like too
far better than anybody else that's compared to him.
So he's kind of massively overperforming.
It was kind of a graph doing overporners and underperformers.
He massively is kind of overperforming compared to what is traditionally seen from him,
which is sick to see, right?
I've seen good sea logs looking good as well. Jokes as well. These three are single handedly made for an incredible side. And then this is without demon who is generally kind of the main name value on this foot side and has been so incredible. We do have the team power rankings where they've rated each other themselves and all the rest.
And these are always really interesting to look at right you know in terms of comparative nature is more than anything
Yeah, so the colors kind of denoting here as well how far off of the VRS
Ranking they are right so obviously like g2 for team spirit is a little
Far from the mark as to where they quote-unquote should be but that's just how team spirit feel I suppose
So that kind of just paints the picture that like most of the teams getting it relatively correct
We might see a few more names crop up as well.
Yes, we're going to sort of go through them all to give you guys a good idea.
And it is pretty much a supposed field of green as those teams getting it correct.
So that's generally a good sign.
Stage one, we had a few teams that were just like way off the mark, to be honest with you.
Yeah, Althra, Semperfai once again, but Semperfai did Ray Paravision.
I think it was sick.
Yeah, they knew something.
And then they didn't qualify.
So they were very good.
And then they also rated Liquid number one and they were easily one of the worst teams
at that stage one.
Yes.
So, you know, you can say, you can say, you know, the portals of the power vision pick,
but also the negatives there as well.
Here's the Swiss bracket for stage two, and of course, following the same form as we
saw in towards stage one, which is exactly what we see, want to see these kind of
different rounds.
And I saw on Twitter as well, yes, I'm kind of posted an average ranking for each
team as well.
And it's kind of interesting to see how things come in.
Fury, I actually take that first spot.
I kind of assume Spirit would still be considered number one,
just because, especially in stages like this,
that's where somebody like Don can still have a lot of fun with it.
But Spirit, second, mouse, third, Navi, fourth,
Mongols just behind it in fifth, Aurora, sixth, fourth, seventh.
So, you know, it's kind of like, you know,
we're going to kind of list, on the flip side as well,
you've got Bates towards the lower end,
you've got 3D Max towards the lower end,
and Heroic and Monty.
Now, I'm interested that you've got kind of like pain
above the likes of a Heroic or like a Monty.
It feels like a lot of these sort of decisions in terms of seeding haven't actually been done on kind of like current form,
especially for like the more newer sides of this level of play, like your Monty's The Water, they had such a fantastic showing.
Or like a foot, right? You know, at the moment, foot looking so clean, they just cruise through stage one,
where everybody's having an incredible showing, I'd assume they'd be very a little bit higher.
Yeah, no, for sure. I think a lot of players have bits of respect for like older guard people,
you know, bigger as a brain potentially for example on the pain side of things. So yeah, I think that there is, you know, an awful lot to
Can they go over there and consider we look at things differently to the way you players do for sure?
But then sometimes not so much
I would have also figured team spirit would be more towards the top end just because it is that donk factor
And he's hard to play against them what not but they they put furrier up there either way
we are now zooming in onto our
matchup here as we get over the
pre-show side of things. We are
opening up with that foot Astralis
game. And this is a kind of
rivalry matchup at the moment.
They played each other quite a lot.
They already played each other in
stage one, in fact, and it went
the way of foot, but not two
weeks ago they played. They
played it crack out. So pretty
much every event this year that
they could have met they have
and it's been an up and down
the first instance that crack
out and started to come out on
top there as well in 21. But
since then foot have had their
number. You know, we saw a
clues. It was a very one side
of the showing there in favor
of foot 13, 7, 13, 4 cross
overpass and Mirage. And then
we again got overpass and Mirage
in towards stage one. And a
similar vein, a 13 three on
overpass by foot and sure
30 level on Mirage is a
little closer, but. Still
So it does feel at the moment for Astralis maybe in the last couple of meetings that this is their kryptonite
Of course, this is their path to a stage two
We have a 3d max lost a foot fair enough
But I'm a bit of a heroic in that kind of quote-unquote also other rivalry Derby
They've got going on and actually a really important victory over Monty
I think that was a real good kind of testament to actually the level they're playing out and you know
We've got to cash this out a couple of times in our first stage. I'm pretty impressed with Wunschdras
I actually do think they're playing some pretty good counter strike and they're a little bit harder to hate max as they
have been recently. Yes. They
have some good punch to them.
Yeah. We're going to have a
difference here in the veto as
it comes through, by the way,
the ancients actually getting
picked out by Australia. So
it'll still be an overpass
decider, but they're obviously
looking to change things up
ever so slightly and yeah, not
feeling the the overpass has
been working for them, at least
in the recent matchups. And
interestingly enough, we talk
about all this on and played
each other all these times.
Yeah. The ancients not made
an appearance. So it does come
in not as a massive curveball,
but one that they're looking
to test on maybe one they've been kind of afraid of maybe one as they've had some time
and whatnot that they've done some work on there's a lot of tape on this map for foot
it tends to be one of their favorite maps as well so yeah very very excited to get into
things here as we will see this rivalry keeps being put sided or if there is a difference
here they will be a quick one for one to kick things off they have managed to get
longs boosted up nice and early here though so this could be really deadly they're gonna
going to go walk into it without
considering him at all will be
traded quickly though. Meanwhile,
how have you gone away with that
through the smoke? Also been
defined by demon. I believe just
catching the player trying to get
into the site so start off quite
well for the tea side, but it's
not panned out. So it's a mental
fine from Grimani just run
wonders, not even shifting. He
sprints through that. Don't
That would be that.
Who's he?
Last man.
E250, a 1v3, a hope and a dream.
There's no real chance here.
Those are the bottom of his back shore,
but they haven't budged an inch.
They're sticking around.
They know that this is, if it's gonna head anywhere,
it'll be towards the A site.
He's not been spotted and surely
to be dropped momentarily.
Demon, that range will close it.
That is a perfect start for foot.
Exactly what they wanted to see for this side and exactly what they needed as well, you know coming in towards this off the back of a
Fantastic stage one you want to make sure that you can once again just get the level of these guys can play at
immediate in towards a series like this
You can start absolutely looking very very good, I would say
So yeah quietly interested to see if Astralis have got some like anti-strike prepared for this map
That would be a lot of fun if they have or if they are throwing caution to the wind and
like look the overpass has not been working we need to try something different it's a decent
map for us. So yeah there's a few question marks but we're going to get them answered
I suppose. Hardiko coming out from Astralis here as they look to try and take a gun away
maybe force a bomb plant if they can. Yeah I think there's a smart core here by Astralis
to be honest I feel without that bomb plant it's just not really worthwhile. If they
They can dive in somewhere and get a plant down. That'll be nice.
It looks like they want to head towards B, but as we can tell,
it looks like it might be a poor decision.
There's three players here to meet them, and there's a fourth.
That alongs him not too far away in terms of the rotation.
Hooksie.
Draw a bit of attention, but he'll be met with a HE,
and then a swing from the FB7 up close.
Semishy with a famus, pulls on the dually, but he'll lose his head.
And diving round, they're getting kills out of this.
Already, Starr has sort of made this a little bit spicy.
a jumping MP9 to close it. But for a straw list, that's three kills from a non-invested
round. You'll say that.
Yeah, it's a shame not to get the bomb down, but I think they'll be pretty happy with the
fact that they can do some really, really good damage there. Very satisfied indeed.
And I think moving forwards now, we're going to have to keep an eye on this economy.
CT side will still be able to reinvest. I'm also kind of a fan of the fact that
they do indeed, you know, go into the M4s now rather than sticking to a really solid
bonus as a lot of teams do. So in a way, it could be a blessing in disguise. We'll find
out Pace Pickup from Astralis not wasting any time or faking things out towards a right.
The aggression from Kobeni will spot the bomb. It can be a blessing that I can also
be a bit of a curse as well. If you come into a round like this with a full reinvestment
and then end up losing it leaves you with a bit of a janky buying towards the next rather
than playing out the bonus and maybe the knock on effect comes from the casualties in that
round where you sort of if you lose this one come back and say man if you lose three
players you have a fine buy. They use a one by one fighting ramp right now and it is
so easy for Astralis as two for you one for Hooksy you got found he found one
on a bit of a lurk and this
round's all but done. There's
just no chance here.
Indeed.
May walk into the remaining two
players. That gives them.
Try his chance. Maybe 20% of
the round.
However, the stars playing pretty
well here, just gathering
information, making sure not
to be lazy about things.
As it becomes like, OK, round
winning situation, also really
also really cleanly. Yeah. So you have a secondary objective in a way that I think could work for them.
And I think they'll get away with that as well as they will. Clap that bomb.
It should be flawless if everything pans out. Maybe they lose like one player on a little
minkey hunt, but really nice look for Astralis. Getting that first round on the board quite
early and as you say quite cleanly. I'd be more at the talent here. Yeah, be nice shot
from him. Longs will lose his head. I don't think cemetery's long for the world here.
Down he goes. It's flawless. We're going to point of damage dealt towards the strollers.
What a first decent round put on the board for them. What a way. What a statement as
well. Two kickstart in towards their investments here on ancients and kind of the worries
that come through of that previous round before this, but it's, you know, on
the low buy they get three kills it does into the economy and sure getting
rifles out is nice but if you get decimated like this that's not a good
look and it's gonna leave you with a really awkward buy for your own regard
they're gonna force buy in because their economy is all out of work and leaves them
with a really uncomfortable invest situation you've got a famas and a
few good epistles as basic as good as it gets the starlet should not only be
tying up this game but they should get a free path to a third on the board
and taking that lead. Yeah,
absolutely pretty quick work.
And again, you know, it comes
down to the fact that they're
able to do all that damage with
the Glocks. So yeah, great
stuff from them in the early
stages here. And maybe indeed
the ancient looking convincing
at least so far. Stare to open.
Trade is there.
You're looking good here.
Actually, wait a minute.
Deagle is close.
Demon just needs to place
is shot, but it's kind of spamming away. Surely going to be low on ammo now as well. He's called
for some support. They'll pick up this famas again. It is man-advancing for a Stras, but
not out of the woods just yet. He looks very, very nervy here. Yabby going to get involved
and try and just stop all the shenanigans. He does a great job of bailing out there.
Stairs somehow survives all that.
Yeah. He just stays stuck. He knows he can't afford to even go for a jiggle peek.
Any target he's dead, I mean, he gets bailed out really well done diving back
in towards Red Room to support his teammate and also to recover the bomb too. That very nearly fell apart.
But it didn't. That means the Stralis now put themselves into actually a pretty commanding position here in the early parts of this T side.
How stairs stay alive I do not know but it's a good effort by Cemetery.
Just not enough. Dima needs to be a little bit more confident on that swing with the eagle to see off-stair
and then doing so this guns to work with and it could have been great.
What comes through how much
damage has been dealt in mental just shy of 300 really and it's all an absolute
shooting gallery in mid the low by put to rest in a matter of moments that is
the simplest round of Charlottes level play. I feel surely that might have been
two. One need to do that amount of damage is insane. Yeah, but they all are
they're all on arm and on top of each other. You kind of underestimate five
get a repo for who knows maybe the moment we are looking across the board and all
these players who think at the moment are quite tensely tied in they they feel
that they should have a decent chance of winning this game and maybe indeed
qualifying through to that land portion
or landing there from foes even the light tag not the heaviest of shots
and they're not necessarily going to know about it.
Demon left really quite low here.
He becomes bait for Krebhedi to work off of there.
Fully just rushing in basically really dry towards B here from Astralis.
Yeah, they'll pull back after the one for one.
It's a bit of a basic call and
don't love it initially, but the fact that's only the one casualty
is fine.
Got
He's holding for the potential is really pushing through red room and trying to wrap.
Two towards B and they've gone for a mean crossfire and towards cage here.
It's long as alone as that a anchor.
Peeking in towards the orb, a little advised, especially a second peak by Jugs as well.
Kind of fortunate.
If you stay alive in that matter, stay trying to catch a rotator.
rotator he's trying to draw attention but actually he's sort of buying space for the
bomb here because the bombs are taking over 30 seconds and it got all the way back to a however
foot are going to stack up b yeah foot just so confused i think like steve feels like a conventional
lurker but as you say he's just getting so much yeah he's just gained so much control that they're
going to work off of it so strata's looking very good here i mean it does leave them
quite low time, bomb dropped by a imaginary player, you know, that could hypothetically be here,
but obviously just not the case in this round. So yeah, it was kind of close to the wire.
The situation was, you know, that's the read, right? It worked brilliantly for them.
Yeah.
Great round coming in for Mastras once again. They're looking kind of cerebrally quite sharp
at the moment.
Yeah, it's a nice little push and pull that didn't have a moment, but it just feels like
They're dragging foot around the map and foot to be enforced into engagement. So they really just don't want to be taking
It's nice work. My control is a macular from
normally dain side of the moment and
For all you can do in a situation like this is saying the good news is saving a three alive and they lost bonus
It generally means a reinvestment in right now. It should be pretty fine to do so jobs will come over
There should be decent amount of utility, but
Gotta find better ways to
pressure strollers at the moment they're gonna call for a pretty early time out
opportunity for Kulio and to
I had the moment it's not as looking not looking as clinical as we're used to
with I mean for as we've seen recently for them from stage one previous
tournaments like they have when things are going really well for them they just
steamroll past opponents and they've done it in the last couple of meetings
would be of Astralis as well. They made light, light work of him, but unfortunately kind of
where at the moment, feels like they're sort of half asleep.
Yeah, maybe the case to be fair, I was going to say like how common has the ancient been
they played against them 80 it was in the veto last time in the the stage one matchup against
these teams. So just a slight change may well have paid off here for Astralis potentially
we're expecting the same veto again and that's just something that they've got
to warm up into here and yeah put their brains into ancient mode where they were
potentially expecting an overpass yeah and some changes there rather than a
completely different map the interesting thing about it is that like generally
speaking when I've caught foot I mean they're ancient really solid I mean
sure we're on Astralis as well but some of the wins they're gonna look
incredible. I think Long says,
hey, I'm going to be really, really effective.
Yeah, I think it's just the the
curve. But like I say, it's
obviously taking a small risk, right?
It's not like a huge thing.
It's not a massive shock.
But it does come in as something
that's like, OK, ignoring foot
and their stats, their history.
Hopefully, Astralis have prepared
something here and showed up
their game on ancient.
That does seem to be the case.
And this is kind of the joy of getting a slightly early qualification is that you do have a couple days to do some work,
maybe just one day, depending on what you do qualify, but they qualified 3-1, so I believe that was different one day.
Yep. Oh, that's unfortunate. That's really unfortunate.
Jugs sort of have to go huge here, they'll be their first contact, and the first fine forum as Yabby loses his life.
And they're immediately going to hightail it back towards B, but that initial spam by
Hooksy will give them the space to do so. The only thing they have to be concerned about
was whether there was a Red Room player quick on the rotate, but they've not. They've beaten
the timer back over towards B here. And the first fight on the site itself, Hooksy comes
out on top, he'll catch Jorgs, and I think for Cemetery and Longs, they were both pretty
low. In the two versus four, they're going to give this one a miss. They're going
to go for the save again. And Stralis up to five.
It's also mechanically, I think Astralis looking good right? We've talked about the the mind games and whatnot working pretty effectively for them
There's another round in which yeah that happens
But I think they are also able to lean on a couple individuals that are looking better here in pro league than than usual
You know stairs not normally the loudest fragger who see of course not necessarily expected to do that
But they I feel obviously looking okay here, but they've had decent maps themselves
when we have caught them, so I think there's a couple more names that are maybe just doing loads of mechanical work.
Are we going to be able to save this AK here?
It's got a paramount. To be honest, he will go down. They should still be able to buy, but it would have been nice to have that one-top potential.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's relentless from the start on the side, because even then, the fact that they're more than happy in that situation to go for the hunt, I think the hunt's the right door for them.
You really want to start digging that early grave.
Sure, there's a buyback in place for a foot,
but you put them in a really uncomfortable spot.
Temetri in towards the AWP.
Rifling Core around him.
One of the best with that full-barreled U-Tilt.
But...
It's a pretty nice lead to have,
but he's out of ancient note less.
Yabby.
Slept the smoke in shelf.
It's there for the first.
Yabby loses life.
Long for two!
And that's elbow control mid-taken by foot.
That's a lot better.
Finally, proactivity on the CT side by foot.
Yeah, good to see, really good to see,
especially after the sort of previous round goes a bit sideways.
And now the econ is not great.
You don't get to save those players.
You maybe think that they'd turtle up a bit
and really be worried about losing money
and having to eco things out in the next round.
But no, they put their best foot forward.
The Spines paid off.
I think that will continue to be the case,
the only one left. Just managed to get a nice find there on the, uh, jumping long.
Can't clear. Cleanly enough, though, as Foot will battle back in pretty good time to get around as well.
The gap close is certainly possible. However, immediate timeout from Astralis. Big respect for that.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I do really kind of love that from Astralis. They know they can't allow
foot to snowball. They can't allow the sides to get in. That's a clean round they've just
taken. That's one that'll really give you a lot in terms of alleviating pressure and they know better than any, especially because the last couple of times out
Futsal sort of decimated them. They've been a bit of a that kryptonite
Charlotte's no not you let up at all
I think the way they start to kind of being five to up having a bit of a breathing room
You want to be getting at least six rounds on the on this T side for a starless if not actually
was the second
a 7th. That was a little sloppy. Too easy to ice-hit the tools and...
I did, so it's pretty simple for Foot to put a 3rd on the board with only a couple of casualties.
Those time-outs, how do things change for the C-Side?
Easy in towards the AWP itself.
Oh my goodness. So many Nades in from the C-Side.
It's strange, it's not a telebot.
Yeah, that's crazy. Stare will find the kill though.
So now we made a tweet about how
ancients kind of devolved into just mid
spamming and so many nades and who comes out on top.
It's kind of like in phone up and on, isn't it?
Yeah, a little.
It has potentially been sold in a sense,
but Astralis get the first kill here, despite all that
knee damage that has been done. So.
Little curious, Cam.
Likes of Krebbenny capitalized if they're going to head towards
A or will it be more of a B lean?
feels like Astralis have plenty of options available to them.
How I grow this long trying to get here?
The answer is not very, but he could have had a little look down to his door,
sort of pushing shelf and doing so would have
initiated a fight at the least, but 45 seconds, the bombs are then backed away.
There's a couple of bodies in the direction of B that I saw in the rooms,
but Kemenis can be tested here.
This is a really big ass for him and he has to get probably at least two out of this
Unchecked so far round the corner for one now a known quantity needed the second can't get it as review and stay
Combined to take the site tap for the plant just in case there was one
Working that smoke, but I think foot have to put the tail between their legs and get out of there
And it'll be another on the ball for a starless and great to see immediate success of attack time out
Yeah, that's why you take it of course immediately shutting down
the the foot momentum so they get one round immediately returned on it's just
not gonna be good enough not what they want to see at this point demon will
take a forward stance to try and save the gun here if the saver's
successful only 1m4 it's not gonna be a buy you know you look at cemetery is
pretty, uh, pretty long cash
about as long as you can get.
So got an all bag.
I do something.
Yeah.
You can drop one,
which is about all they need.
I don't know, man.
It's going to be a real
all in kind of buy and like the utility.
So I'd be like to see you down the middle personal.
It feels like a lose, lose, right?
Cause you either forced by around this,
but it's not giving a forced by or you low buy around an orb,
which is always kind of awful to work with as well.
So no decision really seems great. They are going to go for the force by around it
To be talking a couple of senses to lock these smokes and molly's gonna be thrown into a delvo
So later on they're not gonna have loads, but this fight is paramount as long as a demon find a positive trade for v3
Yeah, they go for it again into woods mid this time they find all good success
Cemetery hidden is right mouse button service left mouse button. I suppose makes it slightly awkward for Benny
caught off by the dry burst that
Honks is in for the trade the numbers still looking good
They've got info that one is out to what day as well. So trying and rushing to
Isolate this one player
Unfortunately, it's not work for them now down to a two versus two. They get a bit more nervous
and the time ticking on these 2t players to join up and
Be able to help each other
low HP
All these players they get the smoke down towards ramping facts are not on top of the bomb necessarily
I feel who see here from this position. He's gonna have the run of the mill. He's got a Molotov lined up
Surely that's just gonna be that your car into our insult to injury
And it will indeed be another round for Astralis. They find it
They find all the kills and they take seven now looking very very promising after a great little start there for fuck
Yeah, honestly through season absolute stoner there, especially because
was. Huxley was taking his sweet
time to rotate over and support.
I mean, he'd taken a fight. Bomber
gone down and another fight before
Huxley had even began making his
way up towards shelf. So if he
gets trained or if he dies, then
that round's done because he was
so far away. There's just no
way he could have run over in
time and kind of denied the
defuse. So Fuzzi has to be kind
of standalone that essentially
one versus three and he does so
or even diving through off the
back of the Molotov. It's a
lovely little move gets his
chance of that defuse coming through. So fantastic work, individually as a stunner of a round and...
Oh for Charlotte, it's doing a really good spot. Arming lead now for them and it's
guaranteed for this first half. There's that first, the bomb goes on, looks like at this point
it was still not even over and it's just brilliant from him. Single-handedly,
a lot of occasions he gets kind of put into these later on situations and he just seems
So collected in them.
You were asked to play and for foot.
This league could get even more downing at the tail end.
Again, the financial situation isn't great.
They've gone for a four-spy here, but it requires a couple of fallasses on MP7
and very limited utility.
And if you lose this, you can have nothing in tools the last of the half.
Strauss with a very confident mix up in the veto this time around.
Not too different, but just a little sprinkling of confusion, potentially.
It has seemingly worked thus far, but don't really have an answer.
The odd round comes in off the back of the individuals.
They are ready for this P-hit.
First kill for them.
Can they hold the line, I suppose, is now the question
the Molotov to split the T side by time for those rotations.
They're still going to dedicate in here.
B smokes required.
Gap over.
this long side of things
will be a couple of CTs trying to
abuse that fact. Maybe it's a digit
start getting tapped in
with a forward stance.
Oh, no way he's able to find both.
I mean, that just really paints the picture.
That tells you how it's been going
for many finds himself alone
after a four versus three
while they were all prepared for the be here.
It's just unbelievable.
I mean, you couldn't write it in a sense.
I suppose he survives and finds another name.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, the airstrike didn't have the right coordinates there,
so it completely misses, and he swings and finds.
Fantastic.
And we'll continue singing the phrase of the foes,
and he's looking so calm.
Just so confident, even this fight here,
it's such an inherent risk,
and he makes it stick, and then that one there.
Brilliant.
See you after, Benny.
Eight, four, as we said,
The bi was probably gonna be a little bit funky and...
Yeah, it's not great.
Double Famas, double MP9 and MP7, and again, somewhat thin utility.
They're gonna go aggro though.
Oh, we like it. We like it. Some good damage done.
One for one over there.
However, they will keep it coming towards the B bomb site.
Weird. Weird. Very weird.
Oh my goodness! Neither of them expecting each other, but thankfully,
he was like, I'll just chill with the Deagle, you know, just in case Famas coming round now.
He's got four to find here in order to salvage things. Not going to happen.
Ryu takes his head clean off.
The Stralis having a good time, a little stressful maybe, but they are making it work here as they move up to nine
at the turn of the half looking super, super effective.
This ancient seemingly was a genius.
They could see it, but can give us anything on their seaside.
Welcome back. It was a fantastic
showing from Astralis. They just
look so clean, so comfortable.
9 to 3 out the half and prefer to
have sort of the edge over Astralis
in previous series. It's not looking
very likely here on map number
one. So I feel like if the Danes
get a pistol, this might be kind of
over before he really begins.
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
Foot giving is a taste of what
to hit that all important consistency. Stare is here.
Just get traded swiftly.
Meanwhile, trying to hold the line nearly loses his head.
The A-POM site, not very well defended.
Krebbeni then, if he finds one of these players,
I think he puts them in a very, very good spot.
The movement from Yabi is absolutely wonderful to witness
an advantage now for the CT side,
but they have conceded the A plant.
can this post plan hold? Will
there be a retake on the cards?
Yabbi, spying some info. I think
he may well have seen both in the
donut there. All the same. CT's
going to move a bit quick. They
don't have a kit available.
Long's looking good as he takes
to it's now suddenly just down
to Rio all by himself. He's got
those Jules, but he just has no
time, right? They play around
the time. Keep him at bay.
Don't give him the fights and
they'll win the round. They've
done exactly that. He looks
to back off. It's lovely from
Long's actually. It's such a
kind of patience play from it. There's no way he survives this and he won't be able to see it off.
That's a lot better. That's a lot more like it for foot and now we'll give them just a bit of a
pathway back in towards this game. So there are quite a few things you have to go right for them
before it's hard to believe we're talking kind of you know. They've got the pistol now,
forced by first, don't know maybe two if you want to be pedantic about it.
From strollers, I think when the guns come back into play it might be a little bit more
similar to what we saw right. They're controlling towards that T-Sat was excellent. All assumption
will be that the T-Sat will be no different. We'll be in this one. Just a low by four then we got
one pot flashing towards me. Is it going to dive on through the pack of pistols looking for a
couple of bodies but unlikely. It's a mo down a masquerade towards me. Three for the Mk 10 as
money is made. And now for foot. Looking a little better right. This is where we want to
be and also even as well for foot a bonus buy which is inexpensive that was
actually one of the things that killed them in towards that first half you had
the bonus buy they won it but they lost three casualties and in doing so men that
they gun round which they then lost kind of killed them and put them into his
real rot of form this at least going in towards the first gun round it's not
all do we do with foot cruise this problem. Yeah because we got here quite quickly as well so you know
The very least need to do a lot to slow the roll
For some longer rounds and later exchanges. However, it started very very well
We'll be a trade back. Oh Ryu
The edge of this smoke demon thinking about it, but then he pulls away from the rush in there
He will go towards mid and find the kill over there
It's all gonna be on Ryu. They seem to know about him and indeed they will deal. He does his best
That's so fast though. Yeah, the thing with foot
You have to be careful playing them at that pace your game. They're going to be really solid at this and
They'll close that gap. They'll confuse you
They'll give you less time to talk and think and figure out what's going on and that will allow this gap to close
We're already at nine six. Yeah
There really isn't many teams in the world who I think and just in terms of like raw plugging out
Hug for like, you know plenty of teams that I kind of seen at the moment is better than for I don't gonna be wrong
But the reason why they better is because they force foot to play to their pace
and if four's foot to play to their style, you can't fight fire with fire with this
foot side at the moment. I think probably the only team that probably could be that
is my quality at the moment. Maybe you could get the argument further like so,
get him a fury, but even the likes of a spirit. Sure, don't kind of reach me, but
there's like more depth in terms of kind of role for role. Like, you know, your
value for Benny is a bit higher of a fragger than like some magic, for example.
And this is where I think first of all, as they're sort of slipping, they're
a little bit. They're playing against one of the just huggier sides, brawler in terms of their nature.
Young fraggers who want to fly into these fights, you can't do that. They've got to find ways to
slow this down. They've got to force foot into these late rounds. That's where they'll start to
feel a bit of the pressure. But unfortunately in round number 16, following their time out,
there isn't really a buy to work with. And to make things even better, the foot that
That was a bonus by they brought in a lot of
Actually gals and Mack 10s in towards that previous round and we sit here with them scooping up a couple of m4s having the three remaining AKs
I mean, they love in life
Move down ramp to try and find that early kill that Astralis unfortunately
There's no one really around and demon has heard two or three over there
So you get some decent information
It's in pieces of the team will now start pushing towards a foot taking it slow, but
What methodical here
Looking relatively good yabby with the deagle
Is in a good spot for my money? We'll see what he might be able to get done catching them going for that boost
But unfortunately unable to oh finally kills demon
Okay with a team kill that's slightly awkward. There wasn't even necessarily anyone on the screen
He was just spamming away through that smoke to make fully walking into his cross out the worst time
Speaking of as they try and get up on down. This is when the pistols will burst forwards
I mean, it's definitely doable. Yeah, we can land two shots. He could take this despite the low HP
Yeah, we're gonna do that. Don't believe that. Oh my goodness right place right time and keeping his cool
Generational fumble there
1v3 easily that is awful just in terms of like to buy itself they never should lose that round but just mistake that
accumulate well done for yavi
I mean that one is a different
Unfortunately, it really does make a difference spot on yavi credit to him and he does it with two HP
No less. I mean yes, they were low, but the confidence into swinging those fights
We are back baby Astralis that is a
a huge round to scalp away if a foot just when it felt like there was a real decent chance of a recovery that is absolutely going to knock the confidence.
Foot do have a couple rounds like that, man. I think that's kind of what comes with the territory of playing a bit faster, a bit more instinctual.
Sometimes the comms or the protocols after he's watching this angle.
Yabi's able to really creep out there, but they're back with the vengeance.
They're angry, Yabi only going to get one here.
Oh, Krebbeni spamming through as well to find stair.
A ridiculous frag for the Orpahs here in pretty good time, however.
He's back to a three versus three, they don't have much to really deal with him or scare him away, they'll get that bomb down.
Can they hold on to the site this time?
There's no T-side utility. This is raw fight now, but there is utility for the CT.
They've just picked up a smoke off a corpse.
And Madem actually being Yabi as well.
If one of those, I think, was Yabi's body, so that's actually going to help.
Now time is really ticking.
Yeah, it's getting dangerous, but they're a little lucky to find these folks on the floor. It forces Astralis into a wild move
However, it is working for them. So I'm a tree on the AWP here. Gotta make this work
Gotta make this sing the other smoke for that bomb. He misses the shot. He will lose his head. It's awfully close, you know
They've got it. I think they just about do have it, but that was very very close in the end
Yeah, down for a wire a little bit
But again, that's a lovely late dive through foosies a bit of the human flashbang as he comes through that smoke
But it all ends up working out super nice
Another round for Astralis. They are not coming to the door of starting this series off very well indeed
And actually a really good recovery into that round not only in terms of the retake
But actually they were in a position where the numbers were not in their favor
The situation wasn't really looking good for them as much with those find of smokes on the floor
It's really nicely done by Astralis
famous such a confident spot that's the other side is that you know despite
maybe foot looks a little rough they can have moments like this it's all a
real need a multi-kill one two but he just about misses out on the third he
runs out of ammo but still semi-gina left all alone a one versus two former
yabby's got other ideas it was close there for fuck but it's not good enough
and it's my point of strollers really has done well to be fair you know he
he finds two he pulls them in kind of waste all of their ammunition so he buys time for those rotations and and then they're forced into reloads and everything which is obviously a little awkward.
Find out here.
have got the ability, if they're able to dig a bit deeper, we have a proactive timeout
from Astralis, despite being on map point, despite being six rounds to the good, they're
like, we got to close this, we have to respect them, and we have to humble this one down.
It would be one of the more one-sided maps in this sort of back and forth rivalry that
they've had.
Especially a fateful one for Astralis, you know what I mean.
But yes, absolutely.
In recent memory, this is probably one of the better Astralis maps, and that
change up to ancient seems to have worked yeah no I can agree more well as you
mentioned this proactive timeout I'll take a moment to converse but make sure I
make sure see it off here and now again it's one of those things we don't want
to allow any opportunity to get back into this and especially considering
that despite the worth of lead and despite how well they've looked towards
the CT there is still limited finances long term for Astralis they know as
Well, pretty triumphant loss here and towards this round will actually cost them a couple of rounds
You need to be a little careful of it
And the utip
to try in
Force foot to slow down as we were talking about don't allow them to just run and gun at you force them into a bit more of a
Later on situation
Don't run, but they might just die through this
Yeah, looks that way for sure. I'm going to try and burst in the Molotov will kind of slow the back end down
Not very good. Unfortunately
The support is here, but everyone's dead. Everyone's dead
It's long. See the only one left and he's spot out towards middle does just about win his fight
With that info and HP that it takes him to get that one surely dead to rights here
And indeed, Fosy will take him 13 to 6 smiles on the faces of Astralis, as you would expect,
a really, really clean first map, very well done from them.
And Fosy never really getting into things there, though.
Yeah, they never got going at all.
That's a fantastic switch up in the veto for Astralis.
You know, we kind of question this one coming in, not so much in terms of questioning Astralis,
but just saying, OK, this is a change of why is this a change of?
Yes.
And now that's why.
It's a map from which, in theory, both of these sides do like, at kind of this top level,
We see both of them have really good wins over their battle.
But in the last few times they played it with Overpass and Mirage,
Overpass got floated to a third instead with Ancient getting picked in.
And it's a fantastic change up by Astralis.
That's exactly the kind of game you want to see.
And that's a real statement start of the series, too.
Yes, absolutely.
We're going to have to see how things pan out moving into Mirage here.
Some questions around this map, too.
Can Astralis deliver?
Usually not the case.
We're going to find out, but that'll be after the breaks.
See you soon.
I will obviously another clear example about walking she wrote so-and-so walks it sounds
like I think both walks it can share a better rifle is the mother and Nika is one of the

Exactly. If you really tried and apply it just right
Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of
Who to spare a play today?
3D Max.
3D Max.
That's a...
The Frudge.
That's a rough one to pull in the day one, stage two.
That's the feeding.
It's alright, they're nice and warmed up.
Got all the confidence you'd ask for.
Right, it was that big win versus Liquid last night.
Alright, there's three defenders stacked up at this B-bomb site.
Molte have the good read.
Can I feel like I've seen so many three-man stacks at the B-bomb site fail at this
event?
Not this one.
Not this one.
It looks like one of them's auntie. Did Azulu see the head? He's committed to this.
He said the head to see Azulu. It feels very brave.
They're coming at him, yes. They're very much locked in on Azulu, so bit Hunson.
Rainwaker though, he is having a great game. He continues to fight down.
Okay, Rainwaker, four from the same spot, dealing with everybody.
21 and eight now for Rainwaker.
Life gaming? Or? I think this is just what he was always meant to be.
This is always what he was.
Let's see this again from his KV.
Your time on Liquid does not count, Rainwaker.
No, not at all.
That's the best.
Three with one.
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
He's like the number one reason why people hate Liquid.
You can't just take it away.
What's that?
We're just down to Patsy now.
He rush, running down.
Rush B, no stop.
Keep Rainwaker and everything here.
Let him get up to 30
They're into the B bomb site though, that's a bit of a worrying sign for Monty
No joke
This is the kind of round that makes you lose your grip on the game though because you're up 11 to 4 and you feel like you should go
For this against an eco and then you lose everything
So would you say that the?
The right call is to not retake against unarmored pistols. I'd be saving I guess
I'm if they're not giving you anything in these peaks right here. I'm not executing into this retake
All right
Into the retail and they make it look easy. It's gives me this time with a 4k on the retake himself
Finally getting involved picks up the AWP as well. It gives me does God's work right there 12 to 4. It's Monty
Absolutely wrecking off the every round is winnable fair play. If Jason was coaching fair play
You got Rain Waker and Moser though too, let's see if we can make it.
Fair play on this resage.
I still feel like it's a little bit crazy.
It is a bit crazy.
It is a bit crazy.
Just because of the situation in the game, right?
Like you don't need to...
But now you know you've tailored them to another dimension.
Yeah, they're like, wow, we can't even win that.
Yeah, we got a post flag.
Like why are you not playing inside B against what is going to be a half slash low buy?
I wanted them to move that round.
I don't know.
Well, I'm not sure man, chill.
Alright Alex load up those smokes, we're gonna have to learn some shit.
Yeah, it's gonna be quick.
I think it might be.
It's Monty's map pick.
Oh, crazy.
Yeah, but look at it stylistically.
You know, like, eye test wise, this is just spanking.
Get bit some coffee or something, man.
Rain Waker pops off.
Afro playing very well.
And be miss just some really early important rounds on that T side
And we haven't seen anything from wonderful the big sis believe this is going to be possible
Switches out to the AK. He's gonna get flanked as well JDM for wonderful for anything. Yeah. Yeah, he's gonna shake off the
He's gonna show what an opera can do with a rifle on his hands
Great one
Yep, that was great.
That was what we wanted.
Just what we wanted.
Monty, a dominant start to the series.
They're familiar with the environment
and they are flying high.
Now if we need a reset, we'll be back to see
if they can handle out map 2.
Baby, don't talk to me, you don't have to stand
A word to take courage, a sign to come out to play
All the many days
I know it's a long way many times
There's more than a man here in my life
Oh, there it touches my bone
Oh, boy, look at this heat
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You find this mind, it's not even a thousand times
Baby, don't look for me, you don't have to try
I'm all breathless until I last goodbye
We've got so much fun
I don't need to dream of fantasies
I can't stop just to realize
I've already touched the sun's bone
He's more than let me in, it's my life
Already took his time, he's gone
But for the richest he's gone
Finally he's mine, he's gone, gone
I happen to feel like anime is probably ruining society.
I mean, I could see why you say that.
Yeah.
a great day for the effects.
One, two, one, continue!
I'ma tell you, baby, I'ma tell you, baby, I'ma tell you, baby
Baby, who don't wanna be?
Baby, but who won't be?
But who won't take that chance?
If no one will be with me
I'm seeking change in play
Yeah, yeah
No one's saying
I'm trying to stay in peace
So I won't take that risk
So I won't take that risk
So I won't be in peace
Trying to stay in peace
So I won't be in peace
So I won't be in peace
You're with the locals, doing all right
Baby, baby, hold on, don't panic
And they will want it, it's not a long take to change
And they will want to give you some sleep and change the plan
Yeah, yeah, don't want to say you won't change
Jason like goat like boat like
120 I like your beautiful voice and it was so good until until this one
They need to talk shit, to stay irrelevant.
They got that counter on mentality, they're hacking them back to hang.
Play your own game.
A Future Pros, A execs a mirage or 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 pros, 3 smokes, 3 mollies and about 7 flashes.
Future Pro No. 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 through.
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 2, 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 off this wall and pick your timing when to peek out from palace
to support your teammates.
Pro Number 3, 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 orc.
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 halfway 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,
spamming through the smokes. This is a great A execute, but requires some good synergy with your
teammates. If you have a 5 stack UQ with often, I'm sure you can all get on the same page and get
that bomb down on the A side of Mirage. Excuse me?
What do you think?
Oh, so here my story begins.
He was waiting for someone.
Wow!
Window knows good from 6-0!
The win is the perfect end!
This is good!
This is madness!
Alright, welcome. We're getting ready for map number two.
Maybe a little bit of a shock to some to see that Astralis have cruised through map number one.
They made it look honestly effortless for a vast majority of that ancient,
but we now head into war's mirage
And let's be frank foot are one of the best teams in the world on this map
So also you feel like you should be going towards a third map, but a starlet just proves us once wrong already in towards an open
So I'm not looking at this kind of just chair. Yeah, no, that is true
there's maybe in the context of the matchup and
The history between these two teams it can certainly swing and have a starlet's gotten into their heads
But I just feel like you know, there's just way too much
security on this map for foot.
Yeah.
And then the exact opposite for
Astralis. So this would be incredible.
If Astralis can win this one,
I think we'd be like, okay,
some serious stuff going to be happening
in stage two for Astralis.
True.
I don't see it happening.
So yeah, I think we do have a third map
written all over this one,
which again, you know, may well
favour Astralis once we get there, but
it is kind of strike.
Anything can happen.
A quiet pistol to kick things off.
Just digging for info.
minute and then trying to see what they can get away with good timing from stairs he peeks out finds one spots another
Couple here. I don't think he's quite seeing the bomb but now they will confirm it
Try to eliminate staring. He's looking sharp
Another headshot landing for him. There's a weird set up as well from the CTs. They've got a player in towards the ramp
So they're gonna be difficult to deal with now yabby getting involved into four versus two before the dust settles
Fosy's Julie's gonna get it done. So
Astralis picking up the pistol and it's a pretty damn good one at that. Yeah, they look really quite comfortable
Look like a nice read as well. And they actually invited it and quite a bit of pressure in those engagements, but they come on on top
puts on for Cabeni full full coat
You know, it's only to turn the heat on in in that room, but they also turn the heat on in the server too because
because it was a pretty slow ending towards that first map.
I mean, never really got into it, to be honest,
for a foot and not the start that they want either.
Love to sort of get out of the gates night and early
on this seaside, really start to snowboard in a positive way.
The bottom point, generally speaking,
should facilitate some level of a bye coming through for a foot.
We shall see slight tech pause here, though.
My summer train is on demon side.
Get the headphones changed up.
I love that.
You've got the laptop with the webcam facing the other way.
It's a real janky kind of setup there.
Yeah.
So that's probably facing demons monitor.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
I couldn't even catch two technically,
you know, if you can angle it right.
True.
Like two people's salves in one.
got a little like cat plushie or something here
like it's a red panda yeah yeah that's a good shot yeah
maybe a little adjustment of the headphones or a camera or something of the likes but
back under way only a brief tech pause and take the show back on the road
double glill as we mentioned we did expect some sort of a force by
considering it was a bomb plant so we get yeah double glill
double tech now and a deagle and the lesser weaponry of the pistols are
pride doesn't utility, which I can get behind. We'll just see smoke over flash behind interesting
need to say the least. That just kind of goes nowhere. I think maybe expect a little bit
more of an aggressive rush there, but he doesn't get it all a route because they're doubling
back towards mid and the bomb is in mid as well. That's by no means a commitment, especially
now they've got long top into his jungle. Yeah, really, really quickly here as well.
I don't think he's going to be necessarily considered. It might start to think about
But by then it might be too late
Not making a lot of moves looks like he's maybe just putting someone off in theory
It's not really expecting it. You see the whole yeah, that's a hole
You know what I mean? So I have a feeling they might at least keep eyes trained for a little bit on this
There has to be but yeah, okay
I feel like they do know stairs really tight on his like retreat there making sure not to overextend
And that's what Fuzi's holding the cross.
The stairs basically always safe for now,
as long as Fuzi continues to do something.
He's locked on that position.
He's eyes trained.
Say, only good for one.
Yeah, gotta clear it, but Fuzi uses the fight.
He'd known for a minute that there was a player there,
but he still ends up going down.
He just got bored, really,
and it ends up being the ultimate prize for that.
For you looking to transplant.
But wait, only if he'd taken a second.
Yeah, the feet were sticking out there.
definitely could have found that kill. Not the case now. It does come down to just two on this T side,
one of which is on one HP. Not looking very nice at all. There's no kit available. There is no
utility available, in fact. So long as we keep our eyes on him, can he take a good player here in
the initial attack? No, is the answer. They will find the kills. I'll get on that bomb pretty
sharp. It's relatively close, but Astralis will take it. Still, I think you can be happy with
that two kills in a bomb plant could have been a tiny bit more, but unfortunately not to be. Yeah,
yeah, you'll take it for sure. I think on the force and again with a bomb plant and a couple of kills
some teams will actually just go back into a force by here. We've also got a little bit more
loss bonus to learn through a bit of facility. A slightly stronger force investment of a couple
more glils. I feel like for the aggressive in us where they might actually go for that.
They've made that one close. Yeah, they're gonna do exactly that. It doesn't really shock me too much of foot
This feels right up their wheelhouse of you're back into force by there's some more patient teams
Who would definitely half buying here for buying towards the next but for foot in their mind
It's like we just made that pretty close
Surely you have a little bit more of an investment. We're gonna make it closer if not in our favor
So once again back in towards mid request, but yeah, he's here
Yeah, pretty patient from him as well. He very easily could have gone for a swing. It would have been costly
They were kind of expecting it, but
He'll drop a smoke and play behind
Boosted up again, so the option to go window they're not taking it at the moment. That's made does a lot of damage considering
He's boosted up like that. Yeah, they kind of went up below him
But it's a trap no ultimately, right? I guess it explodes from underneath
He's roughing his own way.
Indeed.
So, feels like the case.
Oh.
Stare with a nice find though.
They maybe heard him jumping up, I suppose.
It seems like they were relatively sure, or the need damaged by a translated around.
For those of you meanwhile, in front of the mill here, as there are no pieces of utility
to really deal with him, lands another tag, missing the pilot's player,
but he'll go back in for the review.
Looking good while doing so.
He's so lucky to stay alive there.
It takes a lot of damage. Five points of HP flash over long to avoid.
Semi-Tri is that first line of contact. There's just no way you're getting up on here.
No way in hell it's already denied. Fuzio see it off.
He did a fantastic round. The finally gets with just five points of HP.
It's a third in the round for him and Astralis another on the board for them.
But some of the similar level of woes that we saw in towards map number one are
Also implementing the cells in tours map 2.
Yeah, Fusy. First two.
Kind of fantastic, especially that second one,
because I just make sure there's just no real progression
towards the A site.
And it brought time for the rotations.
Brilliant work.
3 and 0, and with that being a force,
forces can continue to happen if there's bomb plants
to the T side, but it wasn't there.
I'm sure they just wanted to
stay. Hot on the heels. Keep
that pressure on. Astralis
starting to build a lot of
steam here. And the worry
starts coming in. You know,
this is the thing we can
conjecture and have a bit of
fun with it. But you see that
ancient pickup raises in the
I'm okay. And now they're
looking good on Marajas. I
wow, damn if they just been
into the expectation here and the expectation is that Mirage would come out. So, Astralis,
some homework, so far it's paying off. It's a question of whether Foot can find the ability
to get back into this game. You would expect so given their history and success on this
map, but it's worrisome in the early stages. Also, I want to say that, you know, for
foot compared to what we've seen of them as of late, like especially this year, so far in the map and
a fifth that we've got so far. It's just kind of a gross underperformance by their standards. Like
this is a side that are normally so sharp. Like it's the simple things that they're failing at.
You know, we can talk about like Astralis, I think, planning for this match up and doing
the right preparation, but like they are just winning angels for the most part pretty easily
as well. It's a nice shot from Jokes there for one as a consolation, but an easy trade.
But you know, it was in so many heads to heads where Astralis are not even struggling to win,
which is so alarming compared to what we're used to from foot. Like we expect this side
and what we've known them to be is these kind of like face it demons, these, these,
you know, FPL kind of pug stars in their own regard. And they're so mechanically
sharp. But we've not seen any of that in this series at the moment. First
They look decimated, I'm seeing it a lot of times by brute firepower.
Yeah, yeah, that is very true. I think just an astralisthera looking really, really worn here, really quite comfortable coming into this.
Yeah, Yabi's been really impressed with the impact of his kills are massive and of course Fuzzi continues to shine.
And there's also got to go contact in the walk straight into Ryu for one quick trade, sure, but upon balcony, Yabi remains long so 180 to find his head but there's still potential threats around.
Spamming the smoke is close and Hooksy will get it.
He's met with a HE but he's still alive and thriving as it's a number's advantage.
For Astralis I'd speak too soon. Spam on the smoke, Hooksy loses his life.
And who's he called upon? Again, Flash over will bait out his position.
But where is there? They still look for him. A smoke that will allow the plant
and they're trying to spam it. They just can't quite get it off.
Yeah, the needs a bit late as
well. You know, there's, there's
right ideas here, but
unfortunately, not quite
perfect in the execution.
Bits of utility. No kit,
though, for the CT side is kind
of the key thing for me.
It's there. Molly goes down.
Nothing. There is a kit that
has been communicated and he
will pick it up. So that
saves them some time.
Oh my shot from posing surely no time and it doesn't matter as Krebbenny takes his head off. So
Some effort for sure to get there, but for finally in with their first round. Yeah, finally
I think the the one real detail that gives for that round is that long spam on the hook see smoke, right?
He's trying to play behind it to buy time for rotation, but when he falls as a sort of kick and drop this
Well, we need to spend time to go and recover
to go and collect the kit and
diffuse anyway, but just buying
time around palace is nice. But
off the back of their first round
football called for their first
time out. So maybe still not
completely sure firing certain.
In their CS just yet. Yeah,
definitely a slightly more
nervous looking for. I mean,
this is the thing, right? You
come into stage one. You're
the hot team. You're the
for. I mean, this is the thing, right? You come into stage one, you're the hot team. You
should absolutely be able to steamroll through. They do just that. There's some easier opponents
down there, of course. Stage two, a few more expectations now. You know, it's like, okay,
these guys got a lot of eyeballs on them and the momentum, the hype and everything
seems to be stepping up. You've lost teams like ParaVision that also had the same kind
of expectations. So I think there's some nerves. Your first matchups against an
old rival and certainly it does feel that these guys are not worried but just
maybe stressed out yeah coming into this there's a lot riding on their
shoulders at the moment yeah agreed
well I like this idea he's being held for by Jogs but
It's taking this Ram control super important and fuzzy.
I don't know because of it being a left eye peak for him, whether it's shoulder
might be spotted by long fleets, he's going to pull away.
So now this is two crucial positions held for in a proactive and quite aggressive stance.
They've got deep B-Aps control and deep Ram control.
Strauss, this is a nice little setup that just honestly at this point, got to win
their aim deals.
They are going to be tested sooner rather than later as the split comes through.
The question is, where is it going to come through to?
Yeah, we're going to have a look.
Again, this is proactive.
It's nice.
I like this from them.
As we creep towards the 42nd mark,
decision to be made here.
Where the fuck want to go?
This feels like an A split, naturally.
And as I spoke towards TopCon phase,
that is going to be the call.
First test is there, and he passes with flying colors.
If he looks for a second, he'll get it.
The third is on offer.
And spray down into the top connected.
I'll seal the deal.
There's nothing that Cemetery can do all alone.
He looks for a consolation.
Okay, it's carnage in this round.
It's a one versus two, but with 15 seconds,
surely he's got no chance in hell to win this one out.
He can't collect the barman part of Fousey season off.
That is a wild, wild one.
Where's the same result?
Astralis win.
Indeed.
One of our higher octane rounds of the series so far,
that's safe to say.
I think it's been a game of a lot of just trading
and really well-placed fights and whatnot.
So, lovely to see stair on the stairs.
It's got legs maybe, but he looks pretty good from there.
He's got legs from there,
and indeed he looks pretty damn good,
some lovely bits of movement.
And great to see him again, proactive.
He's been having a fantastic tournament for me,
by his standards, let's say.
Yeah.
Really delivering a few more numbers than usual here.
So, hopefully that continues,
and especially against the team like,
But we're gonna need stairs to be stepping up Rio, good for two.
Fuzzy with some missed shots, but he's been flashed about here.
Difficult for him, he gets a smoke down to try and work around him,
and playing pretty aggressively off the back of it.
The shots are really missing, his presence though is a threat,
and they work around that.
Demons recovered in M4, can he win out this one versus three?
Falls off his perch, and Yabi will take him down,
so Astralis keeps stringing them together here.
One last round is not really an issue and similar to ancient they're doing a very good job of just making sure it's like
Okay, you won one doesn't matter and then they just go right back into finding success themselves. Yeah, I agreed
Pretty simple one as well. I think again these were around
We see in the parts of foot one thing that made them scary is like, you know
These four spies or a tech man rush on the normally actually quite prolific that
The shoulders make light work of it. This is furthering this sort of dominant statement that has been made here on this CT side.
The edge of the smoke. Fusey spots the shoulder for a second. Tries a hopeful flick through that smoke for not to be...
Onc's a known quantity in Tours Lower. The Molly will just tick.
Heading out of his spot. This is followed by Hook C.
Oh! It's a nice idea!
I'm such a fan of the idea!
lovely idea, unfortunate on the execution indeed lots and lots and lots of
damage has been done here though so it very much could swing on a dime and
that looks to be the case really demon six HP leading that charge he's lost one
of his health teammates he's lucky Yabi runs out of ammo but he's got support
right they're able to stand strong even the only one to a family frags
leaves longs with two more to get here he's coming in from behind it's
behind to think about it. Move towards the apps, spotting nobody there, spotting the bomb
for sure, getting full control of that. Surely now they smell a rat and they think, hmm, maybe
sure, maybe the market is clear, but he will be instantly traded out by stat. It's tough
for foot there. They're close in places. They are certainly getting better. Yeah,
Yeah.
Just not able to convert these rounds.
Stare's looking so solid.
So consistent at the moment.
Kind of for a while as well, for Stare with this side.
Even with kind of the new guy coming in, he has been sort of the superstar of this team
and he continues to perform on an elite level.
12-4 for him.
Such an incredible show.
And we're right as well for Foote.
They just can't seem to keep up with not even just him, but Foote's at his moment.
Yabbi's looking great as well. They just can't seem to keep up with the firepower.
This is an underwhelming performance across the board for a foot.
And it's an electric one by Astralis. They look great towards stage one,
but it just continues this role in stage two.
Boosie, Ryu, kills a piece. Beautiful.
This low bar looks like he's being put to death.
Easily, night-night foot.
They get shut down with just a one consolation kill.
That is so simple for them.
Going from bad to worse, pretty swiftly here.
No, look in for foot as they take a timeout.
They've only got one left here as well.
So things as well, nothing's changed from foot's timeout.
You saw this in the first first map as well.
They called them and it was just the kind of same rounds
that were thrown in.
There are footwise happening.
You know, this is one of the things that you might see
from time to time, very young team, very young team
in terms of experience, in terms of being in this position, you know,
where has it come from, so on and so on.
But I think also just the fact that by age, it can be very tough for them to
get in the zone and to get rid of the demons, as it were.
You have longs there who sees himself and puts himself forward as a
wiser voice, he obviously had a very quick upswing in his career,
didn't quite work initially and a couple of interviews now he said way didn't feel like he had the guidance and whatnot
So he's trying to be that for these young players
That would be a great time for that guidance to come through
The bull swing law at state mid control
It's pretty nice fit a pretty nice name though
So, even toughs around at a 34 points of HV before he even spots anybody.
Off-way for somebody who is generally speaking so important, especially towards his T-side
rounds.
This gun round is massively important for Foote.
You get 8-1 down and if you lose here with Anna Bonplon, which has been hard to come
by with the Foote side, you can drastically poor hard.
Demon will open things up.
Yeah, it could be something to this.
He's found some awkward control in the window,
which, you know, it really opens up options.
For that T-Side, we have a very quick flank here from Ryu.
And that's going to squeeze this T-Side in.
They don't have many options available.
The stairs blocking.
Fosy does well to find one up close,
and stairs done very well to bait his teammate.
That's how you do it successfully.
Ryu, maybe, with a reposition here,
going to find success as well.
And yes, they've lost track of him. He'll take cemetery. It's all on Steven 12 HP. What can he do really?
He's just out on an island. There is no way they could have found anything there.
And it's another round in from Astralis despite an opener from foot. They just can't break into these bomb sites.
Another store was showing from stairs all double for him review. That flank is so effective. So so well done
You know, make the argument that he maybe could have played a little bit of trigger this meant to scan information
which doesn't need to. They know they can use the effect to me off the numbers.
Even Fuzzi, you're the only one kill, but that one shot hits is not easy.
9-2-1.
There was only one team in this series.
And Foot, they have not come to play in Stage 2, which is such a shame.
You didn't get to catch them in Stage 1, and they were so impressive there.
I was quite excited to see Foot at their best,
but we've got the absolute opposite, Ryu.
Hopefully fine for the first.
For the second, when she gets the third,
just about evades him as a drive-by Mac 10
or find one, but boozy, up close and personal
with a combat or up, and the support.
It's just a stunner I'm showing from Astralis,
a such a deserved lead that they've got right now
with double digits in the first half
for wrapping up guys, cool of the day.
Yeah, this is just not the matchup right now.
They have not shown up to the game
and it's tough to really figure out
It's an absolute slaughter. They've had close rounds. They can't convert. They've had one-sided rounds that they've never had a chance in
Just kind of everywhere it feels at this point
Whatever you do whatever you think of it's not working the Strahles
Similar to the ancient have done their homework
Really impressive a lot of fun here a lot of fun
Easy.
Oh, Dan, he's just so solid.
Everything that he's put in front of him, he's delivering and stare as well.
Mentioned it earlier, but he just continues to be the superstar for this side
and he continues to show.
I can see the barrel.
Yeah, he definitely could have done.
Oh.
Now, Risky.
He did see the barrel, but he didn't act on it.
Not sure. Either way.
Battle three.
It's just a dynamic duo here both on 17 kills. Wow. Crazy, crazy stuff. As
Astralis net an 11, one first half on a map that they really do not like playing
stereotypically absolutely fantastic stuff. There's not much I can add to it.
Foot stays are numbered here in this opening stage to match up. We'll see
if that's the case or if they can mark something incredible in the second
We'll see if that's the case, or if they could mark something incredible in the second half.
11-1, Astrolis, what a showing from them.
It's only one side in the server for Back of Map number one, but we sort of assume that
heading in towards this map number two, there may be a little bit more on offer from foot,
but it's arguably got worse.
It could be over before it even really begins here in this map and the series.
the city side now four foot but I don't know I saw it's actually as well it'll
look an A and no one's home yeah they've gone in quite quickly here they are
looking to take it nice and simple execute comes over the top what more is
there the foot can do they've lost the A bomb site they do have a quick flank
in from Crabeni stage one's top performer here looking to be the hero
on this flank, clean for the first. Maybe one more from him. Mike convinces in, the flash
is good from CT, the kills also. Looking pretty damn good. Suddenly, he fights himself alone,
finds the hardest shot, couldn't get the guy who was reloading though. Either way, foot
of bought themselves some time here.
That's yeah, it's a bit of a tilt I think for Astralis, because they do a couple of
things right. Sure, the flank you can't account for, but the CT control they take
is really good. They just lose the aim doors. The one thing that we were kind
I'm praising them for in that previous or saying like you are winning aim doles against fort in a consistent manner this time
Not to be so yeah a bit of a tilt of that round gonna fall in flat
Love the flick up shot from yabi, but often all bomplaw plus a couple of kills could facilitate a buy
But it actually looks like it might be a bit more of a half investment
I'm gonna pierce tools looks you pick up a bit of utility. So this is a bit of a throw away
They've got plenty of rounds to spare though. So strong is don't need to rush anything
Yeah, taking it nice and slow here, got smoking two flashes, what's the plan for those?
Those that is the big question here, are they going to try and fake up short I feel?
Got this one player, or rather not fake up short but come out short I mean.
Oh, okay, interesting. Maybe there is some kind of a fake going on though because he gets
needs down for a beam
But there's nobody else with it. So
What is the plan?
Contacting the middle here. Unfortunately, Krobeny it feels like is in the perfect spot
If he can find the peak for this
Oh, he's making some noise. He catches them on the boost
There's a lot of people that
have been lost. Very lucky. They
were milliseconds away from
finding him. To be honest, he
was looking completely the
wrong way. That means Deagle
chimes in, but he's dealt with
on the next attempt. Should
be that to be honest with you.
It tried something funky.
Didn't quite work taking some
Deagle headshots here. He
is going to have to really go
insane to get this one done.
Now is be the looks vulnerable
though. So yeah readers
long should have them dead to one. There's one. And it's nice and simple, nice and easy.
Felt like a little bit of a convoluted attempt at a pistol there, like it's like we're faking
smoking utile toward A and then hooks you trying to fight, but they're so agressed in
towards kind of a B apartment that they know hooks you alone, they know he's the only
one who's swinging, it's just one guy. So they're not really baited into stacking
the B site. And then even with that kind of like trying to stack the B site, they're
They're not even kind of doing anything to move towards there, Charlotte.
So if it was a bit convoluted, I think it was very loose mid-rounding.
But ultimately, I wasted that turn.
And nothing round.
But, it's all by and time to this, all by and stare.
It'll be the first two, four long, so swing out from short.
The flag can actually catch there there, but it just loses the aim-dull.
The Jugs finds one of his own.
Hooksy trying to dive around site with a supporter for you.
They take A-side control and they can look for CT control further.
Molly Dowell Ryu wins the fight. This is much, much better.
Ryu, good spot for him here. If you can make this work spot to shadow first,
then they will find all of the important kills, the important battles at the end.
Astralis back to their winning ways. The pistol goes against them.
As we like to say, though, that pistol can be unpredictable.
The high roll from Longs.
I think he understands it's just not their day.
Unfortunately, it does happen once in a while.
Saving great series that it's the first round of Swiss, that's maybe all I can give them in this series.
Yeah, it's not exactly a confidence booster. They've taken a bit of time off at scenes between stage one and stage two, and they've iced themselves out ever so slightly. They were just so electric in this first stage and anything but here.
Not paid the bills.
Yeah, Holly.
Well, force for Benny in towards low.
There's no one at the moment they're contesting it.
But it's a movie made by Ryu.
He was always holding this extremity.
There's a commit to going down.
When you're reclaimed, the space that he had earlier,
but Holly forced him out of.
Double swing.
Oh, uh-oh.
Benny eliminated, needed at least one there, right?
Yeah, the info but a super clean opener like that for Astralis is just a gift from above
Should be able to now clean up with that you feel right there the 5v4 the stronger weaponry the full belts of utility still available here
So yeah looking very very good for Astralis to clean up house in the near future
Hey, David's break open con smoke. Well, I think yes, just one leg of yabby there
I hope for pop shop and not to be it's just surely looking like the beginning of the end as hook see puts pressure on the B site
Feels like selling a bit of a ruse, but the bomb has just joined them. We'll see only one for demon
If you find that trade the scout can't convert yabbi sees cemetery off and it's all on the shoulders of jugs
Only six kills to his name, but that's slightly higher up compared to some off-foot
It's been a one sided showing and that just about some stopped the performance from put a labored spray and a labored
map number two. We came into this painting the picture that they were one of the best more eyesides will they get deleted?
Yeah, on both maps, you know, it's absolutely wild to see Astralis have clearly gone away, taken their time, maybe done some predictions.
I don't think that the the matchups are a sure thing until they come out, but either way they know they're probably going to face off against
against foot at some point in the second stage,
and they've done an absolutely beautiful job
of putting that practice into play.
Fantastic showing from them,
and this is an Astralis to now be worried about
if you are a team in stage two,
if you may be one of those squads
on the extremity of the top level,
like a Nabi maybe, or an Aurora,
perhaps you've got to be careful of Astralis
because they've just put away one of their rivals,
both in terms of the head-to-head matchups,
but also rivals for the tier 1.5.
These teams that are on the upswing at the start of the year,
they just put them to bed so, so easily.
Yes, speaking of as well, that Na'Vi game is actually on the A-stream,
and they lost map 1 to Monty.
What do we say?
I'll keep bringing it up because I'm going to toot my own horn here.
But I did say, I think Monty, one of us on the right side,
here at Pro League, people are sleeping on them,
and they continue to look okay.
However, they are being deleted on map number two.
That was going to go to a third unlike our game, which was effortlessly closed out by Astralis.
What a showing from them. What a statement again, right?
Because it's still people who doubt this new look of Astralis, but they are making the right move.
You know, they've gone away from this Danish vibe that obviously wasn't working,
that that's a scene that's ultimately struggling.
They've gone from an international injection of firepower and it's a fantastic work
and a fantastic look at the moment.
Ryu looks really sharp, but fuzzy, electric and Stare again, right?
Stare has been the best player on this Astralis site for a long, long time, but for a long time he was the only redeeming player on this Astralis lineup.
He gets given a lot of the favourable roles, and a lot of decent positions to shine, but now, even with the bolstered firepower around him, Stare continues to be the best player.
He continues to be such a stability factor in towards Astralis, but they just couldn't deal with him.
Yeah, this is the type of game as well. In the past, I feel Stare may well have struggled in, you know, maybe too many responsibilities.
maybe the need to bring too much firepower right and sometimes he could go missing in those bigger games for me where there's a bit more pressure
I think that here they've done a very very good job of like facilitating a bit more and like I say taking some of that pressure off
Which I think makes a big big difference
For the the individuality of Astralis for in the in the meantime, you know, it was just a bit too simple
I think they stick to what they know, which is very pack
to the one that's that kind of
counter strike. Um but not a
lot of switchups, not a lot of
change ups. Time out seemed to
not really do very much, maybe
more like mental timeouts like
cooling off timeouts rather than
tactics being talked. Um so
yeah, it does raise a few
questions of foot and if they
have to be careful of not being
figured out by a few teams who
indeed played them more than a
couple times or more than once
the top level. I think it's
actually spot on. I think you
know, kind of where we're at
when we look towards this
foot side is that. It works
well when it works, but when it
doesn't, it looks pretty ugly.
I think of writing saying we
might have an interview as well.
It's always good to kind of a
check in and kind of stick as
well. Just kind of like and
flash back into which on my
step, brother. Thank you very
much for watching. Thank you
We're joined by stair brother. Thank you very much for joining us first and foremost. Congratulations. I'm in an incredible show
You guys look so comfortable
Taught me through this matchup for you guys have got like a little bit of mini rivalry in essentially a few times already in the last
Few months and the last couple foot of kind of quite cleanly one. What was the prep like coming towards this game? I
Mean as you see in the veto, we we tried something different
We played them for the fourth time. Oh, we tried picking ancient instead of a living be the cider just to get some fresh
I think they played off very well.
I think we also have a good ancient.
So, um, that was kind of our preparation for today to actually try and make that a difference
and see if all of us are stood again.
I still think we can beat them.
We have a good all pass, but I think they have to.
So we didn't want to give them a good map for them as well as the first map, right?
So that was like the plan for the reach.
At least.
Yeah, it's pretty, pretty smart.
Obviously kind of worked out for you then moving into this mirage.
You just absolutely broken them.
I mean, is it a team that you're starting to maybe figure out a little bit or is
it a team that you're starting to figure out a little bit or is it a team that
bit or you're not quite sure why the Mirage just completely folded for fuck. Give me your thoughts on
that second map. Figure out. I don't know. I think they're very good at mixing up their play. I do
think that they are seen the likes to play like Kearney Sears send a lot of signals like go a little
crazy. So in that way, people figure out they play like that. But it's not like we knew why
they would go around or anything. It's not like we have something in the same prep because I
think they're so good at actually mixing that up. So I wouldn't say like we figured it out
by the thing. I'm just happy we beat the Mirage. They have such a strong Mirage and
and when we beat them in this way, you know,
it's just a good confidence on the map.
So I'm very, very thankful we could beat them like this.
After that, talking about you guys at the moment, right?
You know, of course, you've had Fuzian Ryu
come in towards the side.
And ever since we've just seen a natural uptake,
Charlotte's looking a lot more competitive
in these tournaments.
You guys have got decent aspirations now
of actually making, you know, deep runs
in towards the kind of top level tournaments.
And you're actually proving
that you can play that level of Counter-Strike.
So how's the vibes, how's the feeling in the side?
You know, it looks like you guys are performing
and playing really well together. So how's everything on that side?
Yeah, I mean, everyone is feeling good. Like, I know a lot of people say that
there's like a honeymoon when you start a new team. And I also believe that.
But I think still that this team, like it's in the vibes, it's been amazing.
And no one has like any crazy temper, anything and not following what we're
saying. I know there was a clip of a timeout yesterday on Twitter, which is
like painting a very bad picture because I think we have so good vibes in
this team. And of course, sometimes you also have to be harsh.
So that's just how it is and I think everyone just like enjoys to play their role how they do it
And I think that's very important
You know that not one guy has like sacrifice all the time be like oh, I hate this but we win on it and stuff like this
So I think it's been amazing and I think also fire power is when we hit the day
I should see everyone just shoot so good like I think food is one of the best aiming teams
there is and
When you beat this big I think it's also about aiming and out aiming them and I think that happened today
So that was amazing
Yeah, just a more generic question here for me to be honest with you
We've obviously seen this shift into online with these earlier stages now for pro league
What are your thoughts on that versus land I suppose?
Hmm
I like to play land more in terms of like the vibe and just also the setup is being better
Like we had a ticket today because someone had to charge their phone because we need two camps
Which is like not optimal. So I'm sure like the lamp better everything is like set better
You have the peri PCs to play the game and it's just funnier, right?
So I like the format more and I hope we can qualify for the lane because I always like playing, you know, the pro league lane
So I don't mind if we could do that
Final question then for you. I try to throw in what is now for this side
What is your aspiration coming towards Hornets like this? Of course naturally? I think you know people will say
You know every competitor say oh we come into win
But what kind of realistic expectations that not only kind of yourselves
But like maybe the organization are setting coming into tournaments like your pro leagues and like your IEMs and whatnot
I mean in terms of the organization we talked about like you know getting back to the top so to say
I feel like the oldest Rallis has a very big name still and the legacy they have
Of course we don't expect to do that. That would be so crazy
But I do believe that all of us in the team like can see how without we play and I would play against good teams
So we can actually go go and do very deep runs and as she said we we hope to win
But it's not like we expect to win right now like everyone knows the vitality is a step above everyone right now
And then when there's so many tournaments, so they'll be tough to beat when you actually meet them
But I feel like every other team we actually have a good chance in the good shot
If we just actually play our game and and you know hit the the right day
We just need to have our bottom level a little higher
And then I think we will be like good competitors to get going to a lot of playoffs and do some damage
Awesome. Well, man, thank you very much for joining us. Pleasure to have you on as well
Congratulations a nice win a nice easy day at the office for you guys as well
Thank you for joining us. Pleasure to have you on and best luck in the rest of the tournament
Thank you. Thank you. Bye bye.
Oh, there we go.
There we go.
Always good to just kind of check in where we were there as well.
I mean, I was, you know, for, for him, he's kind of seen the,
honestly, the real highs and the real lows of the shoulders,
but times are looking good.
Like that is not an easy team to despise,
especially in that sort of fashion and what a way to start stage two as well.
I think it was even kind of conversations of people being like,
okay, they've made it through stage one, but this is sort of where it ends.
But not to be proud.
Yeah. And I mean, you know, some great answers from him.
I think he kind of toes that line very nicely of like giving us a couple tidbits.
couple tidbits into like prep and stuff, but he knows not to go too far. I think sometimes players
are a bit frightened of giving any kind of info. So that's where you get like the generic answers or
the sort of one word aura farming that seems to be going on at the moment. But yeah, I think overall
the the team, the vibes looking quite good. There's a bit of seriosity to them as you know,
he mentioned that sort of viral clip and everything of the timer when they were like
like one and six or something like that. And it's a little bit harsh. It's a little bit
pushy. But again, Hootie is a great leader of Benny needs to tow that line also of like,
you know, do you get some loud voices in there? Do you take a bit of harshness and what not?
That's maybe something that foot could have been missing. I agree. Because again, we
look at this team, they're a bit more chaotic. They're a bit younger. And it's like, how
do they fully communicate? And at the moment, they're really, really known winning. And
And then they'll get to a matchup where it's like, okay,
shouldn't really be taking this.
You're not necessarily expected.
A bit more time going to be required before you can beat a spirit or a vitality
or whoever they run into, you know, potentially a team like Aurora,
those gatekeeper kind of teams.
And they do fall there.
But like the expectations are not to be that.
I think this is a pretty big matchup in the sense that coming into it,
I think we would have thought that would take it.
Yeah, absolutely. Well, that is our first series of the day.
We actually have quite an extended break until our second.
So there's no better time to go and check out the A-stream
that Monty taken on an RV game.
But we have another game coming up,
and this one could be an absolute brawl.
It's Aurora taking on Legacy.
But before we get there,
we're going to a little bit of an extended break.
See you soon.
Oh, that's what I am!
Oh, that is a meme!
No chance, all gone.
HADUN!
Nobody fight here and no one's gonna do it.
HURT, HURT, HURT, HURT, HURT!
Damn guys, we almost had this.
I can go with that saver.

I had a 30cm matchup.

So Kray is going to read these ones out.
Oh my god.

He's pushing me and now I can train.
Alright gentlemen, welcome. You're probably wondering what you're here for. Take a look.
We've got the best of the best. Counter-Strike's elite. Some of the best Counter-Strike players
on planet earth here today. Now we want to see you guys do battle. This is going to
be a face-at-lan lobby. It's funny. All right, well, we're going to see. We're going to see
what goes down with this. All right, so we're going to pick captains. And the best way I
could think about doing that was get the two players with the highest elo to be the captains.
So Monosie comes down over here. Mr. Kiyosuke comes down over here. So you two have the
highest elo at the moment out of these 10 players. You have the highest, which means
you get to pick first. Now, I'll let you know we're playing for elo. So there's
something on the line all right so you got to pick your team wisely here so
you get to pick first who do you want in your team it's very interesting
shouldn't have to say you know you got don't down the end I see picking equal
okay Niko comes down next to mr. monacy you get to pick who do you want
don't come on over I'll pick it okay I'll pick they will
Zawu? Alright.
He's my bro, he's out my stuff.
You didn't bring a mousepad?

Okay.
Ooh.
What do you want?
I'll pick Rob's.
Frozen? Okay.
Wakadia or Senzu?
I'll pick Senzu.
Okay, Senzu on team honesty.
And Wakadia, that means you're playing right now with Kiyosuke's team.
Alright, now, we need to do a veto.
So you picked first player, he can ban first map.
We're just gonna ban all the way down to one.
What do you want to ban?
Standard map pool, nothing crazy, no stupid maps.
Alright, I'll ban N'Fernoff.
Alright.
Yeah, N'Fernoff, get rid of it, right there.
Overpass.
Overpass?
Alban nuke.
Nuke's gone?
Alright, good.
Train.
Train?
It does suit Ancient Mirage.
We're on the classic map route.
Should we ban it once to help with the demo?
We'll ban Mirage and backstab.
We're going to play with the keycharmadas.
What are you going to ban?
Well, fuck.
Okay, well it's classic you get to decide just your mirage

So, the classic face of Matt, here we go.
It's a short game.
It will be.
What do you think about your team, Matt?
I mean, I was a bit skeptical and he didn't pick.
I feel like it's a bit unbalanced.
Actually I expected him to pick Valera first.
Okay, well that's what I thought too.
Yeah.
There was some thought process going into the players.
He really took his time.
You excited to play your first place in the Pug or year or what?
Um, nothing against those guys.
Why do you think they got a better team?
They had some big games.
There's not a lot of confidence coming out of you, Rob.
What's going on?
Make it come to the Telegram.
We should bring him out by either.
Yeah, but I don't...
Why?
I never do...
You're a big match today.
I didn't know it.
Yeah, we didn't know it.
This is for Eli.
Eli?
Yeah, we'll take it.
We will get the plus 40, they will minus 40.
Oh, look.
I don't know exactly how much, but I know it's for Eli.
This is where you do your best work, Matt.
You excited for this, Mirage?
No.
You're his first pick.
It was his first pick.
I think so, too.
What's all this, brother?
It's a big fucking devil, first.
Yeah, brother.
I think we'll...
We'll carry him.
We'll put you in the middle.
No, it's fine. It can be as you have.
Yeah? You got some good calls?
Sometimes.
So, you're a bit of a facer team in yourself, aren't you?
Yes.
Of course, some of your games.
In FPL, I'm getting used to last pitch, so I'm going to try them.
Today they see...
To the top frag?
Yes, of course.
Yeah, nice.
Frozen, you happy with your team?
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, bro, there's nothing he can do here.
I'm just thinking about my financial approach, you know?
What? How many guns are you going to drop?
Yeah, yeah, what am I gonna say? What am I not gonna buy?
You know.
Sid makes a Zywoo as well.
Chat bro.
What are you, having with the map choice, Mirage?
Chat, I mean, it's class A Sid.
Never on play.
You'd say never on play.
You'd say never on play.
When I saw the Ancient getting towards the left,
I was like, oh shit, Zywoo and Robson are playing Ancient.
I'm not sure how it's shared.
I'm fine with me. I'm not smart.
You know...
We met you on H1.
We met you on H1.
Oh, I was alone, but so...
They do CPLB, like, full name, B.
I was like, you know, I got home.
Like, where can I go?
You got to try and face it, that's where the hard ball is, you know, it's the best counter-strike in the world.
Yeah, they were trying to fake rush A to take me, to do nuts, to do what I was like, mate.
It's not face, it's, this is official.

Okay, defuse, defuse, defuse.
Nice, nice, nice group.
Let's go, let's go, come on.
No kit, no kit, it was a great idea.

You can say you won it, but just on luck.
Game is shit.
Yeah, can you bear to help for me?

city, city, city, city, city, city
running city, running city
i'm behind him
boom, jussi went up
easy 100m
Do you want to shake hands? If you want.
Were you toxic like you said? No.
You want to play another one?
I got an official word as well. 100 E-Lo.
guarantee 100% so all up in 100. Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry. That's happening too. That's happening too.
So you want to do that again? Not right now, but next time you're gonna play this again. Yeah, why not?
Did you think it would be so easy?
What do you think went wrong? What do you think we fell apart? I don't know. We lost clutches. Clutches, can I have clutches?
So you're popping off no you saw the school ball. Yeah, that's it
But we'll smash it even don't get a hundred. Yeah, it's official hundred illy. Really? Yeah
You want to do this again? You like it? Yeah, we can yeah future. Yeah, well if you have the highest illy again
You'll be the captain again. It's actually fine to play. Yeah, you like it. Yes
I'm surprised everyone was so serious. I take an eco is everything like that. It was good to watch
Yes, okay. We also have some calls. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, all right
But we also got some face-calls as well.
Yeah, well, fair enough.
All right, well, look, I appreciate you taking it seriously.
That's what I wanted to see.
Ooh, Avengers so much.
You said, yeah.
Yeah.
That's pretty good, huh?
Yes.
Yeah.
All right, we'll see it up next time.
Steve Robs, how much do you hate faces now?
Yeah, that's pretty a lot.
Come on, camera.
There's a microphone right there and a camera there.
We'll see you in a bit.
Shit.
Ben, what are you saying, mate?
How do you feel?
Fine.
I'm honest, I expect something like funny, you know.
Yeah?
Like some invisible stuff.
No, no, no, serious.
Yeah, see?
You prefer that one?
Well, you like the stupid shit.
No, not stupid shit.
Sometimes it's funny.
Yeah?
We always think it's funny.
For honest, of course, this one.
You like it?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's better than having to do other stuff, right?
This is good media?
Yeah.
Okay.
If you compare other media,
yeah, this is interesting.
Okay.
Because if you like it, we can do it in the future.
And maybe next time we can see if we can get some money for the wins.
Oleg probably lost 5-2.
5-2?
4-2.
I don't know, I lost 1-2.
But as I have just heard me in front of flowers outside jungle, something.
Did you like it with the glass down the whole time?
Was there any shit talk going on?
No.
Super locked in?
No, they hit locked in, I think it's fine.
Okay.
Cool.
Well, I liked it.
I'm glad.
Thanks, man.
Sometimes it's also a good show, maybe fun stuff.
You want some fun stuff?
I can't play football.
You're only 1.6?
Yeah.
We'll see what we can do next time.
Thanks for it.
Bro, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What do you mean?
What was that?
Because when I play, like, they're good to take.
I'm just using my own language.
Yeah?
Well, it's that time so hard for me.
Tough in English.
Yeah.
Yeah, OK, OK.
Well, I think, look, I think you're with some good players right now.
Next time, you know, you guys can practice, get some more players in, and
then we come back.
Yeah, man, maybe.
Alright, alright, well, that was that.
Fire, but they recovered the statistics.
You're lying! I'm about to leave the crack!
I'm about to leave the crack!
Fox taking away, and nothing.
He's playing the smartly, he's using it against Geronimo.
Ten seconds, nothing comes of it!
He gets the kill!
And triple! And nothing!
Are you tired of overpriced,
roaming un-American Produs.
Hi Alex!
Not the case.
Normally they make their way in, but it doesn't really care.
He's still taking one.
And then Rainwaker, another multi-kill, this time on 1 HP.
That's the good kind of baiting that Rainwaker just did.
There we go, Bit.
One more. Can't get out in time.
Neither can the attempted bomb planter.
Wonderful falls as well.
No bonus money.
Two round lead now for Monty.
I was a little key really hating this setup for Monty,
but the bait did all the work for them in this round.
You can see the frustration on Alex's face.
I think he doesn't quite believe the setup.
He's like, where are they?
What is this? They're just leaving us everything.
We've only tripled, no, I was there.
I think also, I mean, touch on what Blade said coming into it,
it's a focus for the pistol, the anti-eco energy is up.
I have to imagine as that first half went on,
those frustrations kind of overcame some of the comms
and some of the players being locked in
and Blade starts really feeling this team falling apart.
Issues that Navi have had in the past,
so it feels like maybe their own mentality's on a knife's edge.
There are a lot of frustrating rounds.
I mean, the first two that they lose on the A bomb side,
you're just out of position based off of your opening,
really in a way, so not easy rounds to come back into,
and then you have the 5-E3 on the B bomb side
that ends up in the wonderful lap for 1-V-1.
I mean, those are all just...
Also, this isn't meant as any kind of disrespect to Malty,
But if you're Navi you're thinking coming into this like I know they beat you last time
But there's that pride angle to it
But you're also thinking these guys suck and we thought they suck last time they beat us and now it's happening again
And this is it's kind of embarrassing that we lost to him, you know, there's they've they've only been a team for a month
They have no business being in the same server and and here we are
So with the rounds have been going as well, you know, we come up close to winning so many of them
But multi just bringing it over the line
And now having to go down to pistols, they've lost the opening player, and now having to
go in for the A finish.
Stairs, can be molly, smoke for the cross, and they'll make their way through the back
of triple, cause you take it down, wonderful answer shot.
Well, it's all good and collapse upon now, should try to get in, but in the open.
Man, Montsey shuts it down before anything can get too dangerous in 9-6.
Now, eight of the last nine rounds in the favor of Monty?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Then a little bit of a streak.
The guns are going to come out.
Doesn't end now.
Yeah, it's just this, for Navi,
there's last couple rounds you've gotten into A
and then it's all collapsed in one fell swoop.
Maybe try somewhere else.
All right, one more time.
You got the guns now, right?
I think, Navi, I have to imagine,
if you're playing with Blade,
you're going to be doing a default
in this first gun round.
You want to take some mid control,
you want to establish some presence there.
make your fortifications known.
You know why Monty's winning?
Why is Monty winning?
Because Afro is a man of culture, man.
You don't have to chug soda straight out of the bottle.
Pours it into a glass, takes a sip or two every time.
You know, that's why he's so ice cold in the server.
That's why he got that clutch.
Yeah, but that clutch, he called...
Another man of culture, Emma.
Focus on that glass of water.
I think BIT is having some sparkling water as well.
as variation
simple renewal
media have a sparkles
it was a heavy
there's your problem of the name of your first album
have you seen
you could pull it off jason i think i could too
glam rock out of absolutely
it was the most of those in the valley and sort of make up your own
yet eighties perm
yes
Aggressive walking from Afro and jiggled out nicely so they'll get away with that because he lives on
In on the wall path though. He is going to be trying to walk on in towards towards connector. It's a responsibility of a zoo
Crossfire with Venus
Three all right well they have the mid-control they've shown that they can they have the they have their presence established
Monty, no they have mid as well.
So Ema's going to chill for the moment, bomb is being picked up now, Wonderfull's going
to bring that all the way around.
Ooh, no he's not.
He's coming back towards middle.
So four mid and bit and palace.
You can go anywhere on this.
Yeah, there's no commitment here.
It shows that Bemis is kind of all in here.
They jump up on Ben, he's just back in his aim for the quick flick to the head.
Ooh, revives his position.
Still has the new profits from the back turn, still removing it in there, but important from a leg.
See, keeps Navi's advantage. Pressure onto Rainway, cat throws out his smoke that reveals his sandwich position.
He's surely not going to be able to get away from this one.
He does well off quite nicely.
Oh, he's done well. He's put a lot of time, got back to safety, could buy even more time and pull distraction.
This teammate's going down though. Afro, hide the chime in. It does.
Ten seconds, you're right. That's a massive problem here.
Navi having to go for the bomb plant. Rain waker close to deny that bomb plant.
That would have been ridiculous if he got away with that.
Super important from Alexi B that he provides that cover there.
Just spams away through the smoke.
Not looking easy for Afro. Quite the opposite.
I mean, he kind of wasn't considered saving, but he knows at this point he's being wrapped around.
So there's going to be someone at the murder hole trying to prevent him from saving.
So again, no great options likely just run back to CT spawn if you can the flick up doesn't land
Didn't want to be chased didn't want to be hunted loses the off all the same and it's 9 to 7
Finally Navi gets back to it
Yeah, I mean pretty close to not I know like that would be not my good game
Actually, it's a really cool round to just watch like Navi's scaling and protocol
Right like Macaulay boosted up once they see someone at boards like at the bottom of the stairs
There's Mikazi and the con player both pick up the pace, so both of them are going to take that fight into 2-1-1.
It's really cool to see those reactions obviously well-drilled, as we know with the blade team.
Time out called from Monty!
It's also a bit unfortunate for Rainmaker that he runs out of bullets, like if he has enough bullets for just a full spray, he might just have enough to deny the plant.
Yeah, but he also stopped his spray, he was connecting to wonderful when he spammed Sandwich.
How'd he continue to spray? He would have actually found a nice freebie, obviously not to know, unconfirmed.
Flans it now as he goes to spawn, perhaps.
Tough, because there's been a lot of damage over the last few rounds as well for Monty.
You lose one round, B-master straight down to a 5-7.
Got a glass cannon here for Afro.
Lose this, money's gone, Navi likely tight things up.
You can see the gamble already in the opening, you know, 4A, Afro on his own towards the
B bomb site.
I like this, they need to take some sort of a risk, because they don't have everything,
even the M4s don't have all names, they don't have a kit, and also with this lead
you can start thinking a bit more long term, if you guess wrong, if your gamble wrong,
save start coming into play.
Wonderful, maybe he sniffs it out.
There's an AWP on B.
Was there no other util, like no incendiary or anything?
Probably not, I don't have the utility for it.
I imagine that's the risk they would have chosen to take early.
So the AWP started B and now a little bit of a...
It's just plain more centralized, right? You're still watching B.
It's like, yeah, go send though.
If they do a full executive B bomb site effort just runs away and they save
and they got another buy in the next round.
Here! Good pick from Wonderful.
Rain waker walking into the open now the conversion towards the window the floodgates have opened
And now he come flooding into the A bomb site
Afro gonna pick off mccasey remember has no kevlar said he misses the short player
They don't expect him and he finds the kill it's a 2v2 now. This gets really weird. Let's get miss smoke though
Oh, that's okay
Trushing the smokes trusty here it comes
Yeah, very doable here for Afro AWP. No kit no utility no Kev lock
Backs away into the smoke
That's a man who drinks water from a
Yeah, thumbs up.
No, wow.
What an afro.
Yikes.
I made that perfect play.
I did the afro wonderful 1v1.
Afros had two pretty cheeky ones now.
Yeah, that's right. We're running out of the ammo.
We're running out of the ammo on the B site.
And now this one with the wallbang read.
Just calculating.
Catch something?
I think he just said take a shot.
It's time for a quick reset and a refuel.
Jeff's kiss
You can bring it like a big one
We like that
Are you a bot?
No, I'm a f***ing bot
Camasite combat
No, I'm a f***ing bot.
Camasite combat!
And that's what I- AHHHHH!
That doesn't mean!
Bro, are you still doing that?
Yeah.
You need to step your game up, bro.
Yes, trust me, this will do the job.
Yes, yes, yes, the Dote Energy is incredible.
Dotes.
Where is the terrorist?
Finally.
Good to see you, boys.
Come on, ride this way, sir.
Cristiano, mate, sorry.
Yeah, if you could just get offset.
There we go, that's better
So, my fellow Americans, and not.
I'm gonna flow like a butterfly and stay like a bee.
To preserve and cherish the pale blue nut.
I don't make mistakes.
We have happy accidents.
You do not.
There is no trouble.
Today, we're introducing iPhones.
That's one small step for man.
One giant leap for mankind.
I go to Tares. I mean that is a great video and it is true though everywhere you go. You
see this guy's obviously got like one of the biggest steam groups going on the Zintares
and it feels like one of the few players that is just synonymous with Counter Strike right
as long as I've been watching this guy's been playing at high level in different teams
in different environments and it just continues you know one of the most inimitable styles
in the game of counter strike and really looking forward to getting a chance to commentate him here today
Yeah, it's been a hot medicine speed cast of Aurora
So I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what this side can bring to the table legacy as well
We've got to kind of quite catch them quite a lot towards the tail end of the year and we were very very impressed
But we know that the start of the year being a little bit rough for them
They regrouped the reset and stage one was fantastic
And we're hoping to see more of that as the veto runs through we're gonna get a new base of band to kickstart things
most likely for Aurora an ancient band to follow suit as well, which would kind of make a bit more sense.
And then it's about where we want to go in terms of the picks.
Dust2 is a map which both of these sides like, so potentially it could be floated.
Inferno is pretty good for legacy, but Aurora in the past have been kind of good on that map.
You've got Nuke, which is both bad across the board.
I'm feeling like, probably a Mirage, maybe an Overpass, both as polished picks,
and then maybe Dust2 to the side. That feels like a bit of a handshake.
Okay. See how it goes. We've got the Furno out from Legacy.
We've got the Overpass out from Aurora.
So far, so good.
Got to be this Dust2, right?
Yeah, if it's not the Mirage, indeed it has to be the Dust2.
So it makes a lot of sense that, you know, Legacy removed that Mirage
and make sure that it's not in contention here.
So overall, a relatively predictable kind of veto.
But yeah, Legacy, kind of the team, I think,
that people are going to be looking at here.
Not only do they qualify, which feels slightly against the odds.
I think I could have seen them even in bad form qualifying like 3-2, but they actually qualify very very cleanly
They'd be para vision to zero. They'd be g2 to zero and nip as well who are a relatively informed team
But the aforementioned para vision and g2
I think it real head turners para vision obviously the crazy team at the moment everyone's watching
Expecting them to do great things at this tournament. Maybe the online
and then a portion getting the better of them. But G2 also a team that at the start of the year felt like a lot of pundits were like, yeah, G2 are going to be really good. And then as it's kind of gone on, they've not looked good. Everyone's like, so what are you saying about G2? And it's like, no, I didn't say anything. So, indeed, some pretty really, really good matchups, I think, from legacy that they won there in that first stage.
the first stage lost on the
two sides played as well. It
was a best of five as well.
Went the distance in that best
of five, but it was Aurora who
came out on top of absolute
bomb burner in that one expecting
for more of the same. We did
expect our previous series would
be pretty close, but it wasn't
the case. It was a one sort of
fair. Charles looks so clean
against first, but we're
But this one has all the makings to be a bit of a bang up
We are live in towards our second series of the day here in the second stage of ESL
Pro League's Aurora taken on legacy and Aurora are the on paper favorites for this starting on the CT side
Lovely little camera angle to start us off
You see the nades
Come raining in the mouth just as surprised by it all as we are
That's going to ruin the quality of the wine in those barrels. Yes, absolutely
Sort of taste of gunpowder not really not really what you want. I love my wine with shrapnel. Yeah
I'm sure there's someone out there who'd be like actually I think that might be quite good to try
That's out I'm gonna look up in towards mid here
I don't know if this is advantageous. There's not really much information that legacy of garnered and wakardia
Keeping pressure on at range and all these as Antares are up close
It's ran player
That's a new and a bit of a tough spot here
The smart move is just regrouping with the parking lot of like Molly down and a pretty out position
That'll clear out Zantares and find him 45 seconds walk sick barrel spotted same with the head drops
and this is already now surely an impossible scenario. The cross is being held to by Soulfly who can't capitalise.
They know where the host is and Woxico see it off. What a start for Aurora. Simple and pretty effective.
Yeah, really looking good to kick things off with that pistol win. Absolutely what the Doctor ordered and definitely a good way to start things, but we're going to find out, you know, this is a matchup that gets quite curious now, Aurora.
one of these teams coming into stage 2 where it's like, obviously we've not seen a lot of them from the tournament, sure, but real adjustment for these guys playing online, not something that they're going to be too used to legacy.
Meanwhile, they're all about adaptability. You know, they play at home, they play nationally, they play online, they play LAN. It's all very different. The kind of strike indeed can be pretty fluid and pretty flexible for this Brazilian side.
I'm also interested to see what art can do to this team.
That seems to be the big change in making quite the entrance in that first stage for short.
Complete oversight there by Maja.
Even after getting dinged, he just keeps in turn, he just falls through the flames, looking for more Wakadia here.
First, the second, the Ludum briefly, but we'll get it in the end.
And the doldies hold out as you run to the ammo, but it's fine.
Tantara is a jump in MP9 just to make sure this low buy doesn't really do any serious damage.
A constellation kill won't really affect Aurora or too much, but you know, come back to your
point, I've liked in what I've seen from all in towards this side, it just looks like
legacy of going back to the roots a little bit, quite poggy, quite kind of, you know,
aggressive in the way they approach. And this is some of the arts always sort of
being synonymous with, you know, he can bring these really punchy, pasty rounds,
which is great when it works. And obviously, pretty ugly when it does.
We know he likes to fight a lot as well as one of those IGLs who loves to get into the pick of it
So I'm interested to see against Aurora who they themselves are moments of in quite pluggy and this game pans out. What's it's got an orp?
Technically is still a bonus bite
Yeah, I'm kind of curious as well
I feel like there'd be quite a few voices now. I think like it's the over the years and over sort of these cause moving together
I've had quite a few
Different players try out the IGL mantle. That's true
So I think it'd be very interesting here to see if there's, you know, a bit more communication going on or if it is that one track style
That sort of the issue is that art would do his own thing, but towards the end of fury
I think it was also relying on him as the main voice and
He lost touch with that. He lost touch with what was too much aggression. Yeah
So maybe they do have to rain him in ever so slightly on
Legacy wikadia
Yeah, yeah, that was late on the smoke. They're chasing him. They are fully chasing him here. Good for one.
He's left so low. The second is ridiculous in the third as well. I don't believe it. That is wild that he gets away with three
Solid solid position now for Aurora to capitalize on should be able
To clean this one up sat in with a fake trying to draw attention to him
Well, the CTs are chilling. They're not rushing into things here. They do have a kit available
Almost a frag. They're not quack. Listen though. Clean on these angle checks. Takes down the orb,
low HP for Suntares. All of a sudden, he might be back on. Trade was absolutely needed. It's all
going to be onto Sads in here in the 1 vs 2, hidden away in dark. Sneak under these crosshairs here.
He'll peek him together though and he just was not ready. So Aurora, they make it work.
It was the only last angle he could possibly be. They've cleared basically
Absolutely everything else
That's that nice little double play honestly that round is completely one off the back of Cardi. Oh
In no way she'd be getting more than one kill in that scenario even this first one
He's turned the initial fight here down to three points of HP
Then the second and the third
He doesn't run out of ammo. Honestly
Sanzin probably would have fallen as well. It's an incredible showing that is how you be anchor. We're Cardi
That's fantastic
Doing that with two points of HP
That is no joke legacy back down to a low by even despite the plot
Really tech nines we see a CZ
Seaside
One gale for this it pops up the old post for the miss
You're out
Ready and rearing
Okay, what at the fight? I don't know what's up in there. They kind of saw each other, but didn't really
to be able to do that. It's
a little bit weird. We shoot or
hit bullets. Bit weird. Bit
weird exchange for sure, but
they have scared them away from
the top end of banana. Also
it's a ruse, right now is
trying to sell the fact that
he's like by himself. In fact,
it is a double pump moves and
tires finds the first night.
That's works. Look down, CT.
You play is here. Just
the support of magic. They're
trying to shut things down as
and Torres is rotated over in
time quickly. This B site is
under lock and key and magic.
Make sure of it. Last found by
him. It's a beautiful B hold.
And now we're looking to legacy.
They're going to find other
ways to win here because this
B site is an absolute
fortress at the moment. Yeah,
we're card. You're obviously a
player that's been really
praised in this Aurora team
and looking very, very good
It's one of these maps where legacy feel confident, she got quite a good win rate on it even at
this tournament as well but, or a familiar, certainly familiar, playing like that at the
moment trying to build up the barrier of rounds to work with, change up from legacy, that's
a bit of utility at the early portion of this round but Aurora sniffing that out and
not playing very aggressive themselves so unfortunately that utility is not going to do very much.
Another flash off the back of it, I'll be left out to dry and he will fall so that's
a great move coming in from Aurora.
He's behind and spam that, just goes ever so slightly off the angle required, hardier.
He's got a little bit of a gap over the smoke but the gap will reveal his head which Dumao
removes quite swiftly from his shoulders, back into a 4 vs 4.
down long and Molly to stop any mid aggression, but I think they just going to continue to
push into a B.
Yeah, I'm not sure how we feel about that to be honest.
Don't have a lot of time to cancel it mate. You know, we're at 45 seconds. If this initial
fight goes wrong, I don't really think they can fall away, but it doesn't go wrong.
It's a bit of a yikes from Woxic. Yeah, a bit slow on the foot most fair. Should
to have that second if that's what you were prepping for as it's work. Inaggressively here,
Haja, keen find. Maybe one more and we might be on the flashes good, but it doesn't blind
up that front player. I mean, it says on the kill feed, I think he was maybe blind for
a split second. He was very ready for that fight. So two versus three now looking good
for legacy to work with. Look at this in, by the way. Where can this in? Where
is he? But I think it should be all good. Yeah, biggest of flanks. He's gonna
both dead to right. I don't think they're gonna hear him. It's a great Molly though. Oh hang on,
it's a team go far away! Soulfly on the 180, are you kidding me? That is one of the worst fumbled
rounds I have seen in such a long time. The Molly's fantastic but it's a team kill from legacy
and a fluffed labored spray. I cannot believe legacy have lost that round. That is a baffling
one. Oh, that's not a good look. Not a good look at all. We might get to catch some different
POVs on the the replays here on this. That was sort of all over the place. And also the
timing of it ridiculous, right? Just as Nysim's coming around that corner, that's when they
push in. So it could not have been any worse for him to be panicking. And I got to save
my teammates here. That's obviously what happens. Maybe the footsteps just heard as well
because he had to rush in rather than calculating the flank. But that's going to be a real
Hard round to stomach, if it's a pill to swallow perhaps, find out though legacy yet
to get on the board. Potter pushes them back here in the apartment to smoke as
well. We're looking good the sense of timing, sense of legacy's approach, really
quite good. The deep smoke by the CTs. Just completely locking them out of B. It's quite
aggressive here from McCarty yet. Now no longer kind of a problem him being aggressive just
because that rotation from Magus come back over. If he was alone in this endeavor, sure
he's kind of so deep down banana with is enough time to maybe get one rotating over
about. It just feels inherently risky where he knows the bison can be basically great
to the range where him playing at a distance is going to be absolutely fine. And which
is what he's doing. He's falling back. He knows that he's having his advantage in
the long range jewels and that's what he's aiming for. Molly down. He's going to stick
up close. And we've said Molly down. He might force them back towards A. That's
where they're heading. There's three players here, though. And at the same time,
the game. But the defense
still looks pretty good for me.
Flash is good for the balcony
player, but other than that,
they're really not under that
much threat. Soul fly coming in
from above to secure it, but.
Losing an awful lot of damage
and none of the rounds seem to
be working at the moment for
legacy Aurora have come out of
the gates looking very good. And
again, we can talk about a
bunch of stuff in this kind of
a match up. One thing that
comes in for me. Aurora have
had plenty of time. I think
they're going to be able to
to watch what's been going on in stage one
and maybe why Legacy have started to find success again
so there's a lot of tape to go on
and they're looking very good here, they were clearly prepared for this
as I say, that sense of timing
which for Legacy tends to be slightly offbeat
you don't pay attention to that kind of thing as much as some of the more calculated T-sides
Oh, further wall!
Bait again as well
fortunate for Woxic.
Bit of a slow start by his standards, I think, you know, we kind of brought it off.
Just need a couple of missed shots
that you would traditionally expect him to hit.
That one, according to them, he's headshot through the wall.
Here's what it is.
What a damage to us all.
Resmoking towards just the top side.
Alright, a little bit risky by Wakadi, he's getting close, but
not enough for the kill.
He mailed up to 67.
and again as I say that slightly offbeat pushing in does eventually work out for them one round is cool
It denies the 13-0, but you're gonna need a few more fellas before we start getting convinced. Wow nice shot
I'm gonna shot my son just clips him through the stair
It's laser it's nice to get that first one on the board here before legacy, but he's the first of many
We need to build up some foundation from the first half, we're probably needing, traditionally
we can't say like a least five really, let's see a lot of you to be expected towards top
of Banana and there's damage on both sides but Terorio coming out worse for where at
least four at the time.
BEING before Xantara is with his final few bullets will get one.
You're not going to clear that coast corner, Dumal will get one in response, Hatch's head
might just show and it will.
Do not for a double will give them banana control a spot as barrel of Zantara's
That is on the cards if he can't quite convert and Torres
Just shores up that B site and therefore surely the round
We're gonna go down. Oh just buying the back of Lato
But that should be the hard work done. He's also tacked down to 48 here
it. Looking pretty damn good. Long 50 seconds for me. It is no getting the bomb. Just go
and die. Thank you, Lato. Thank you. So just sitting in a corner delaying the inevitable,
but ultimately a good clean response. Right. This is the key thing Aurora able to answer
back and kind of going upstream for it I think. Yeah, yeah. Against the current because there's
a lot of damage done early but they were set up, they were confident in the three man
and as soon as Legacy try and make a move which again I think Aurora are reading into
that Legacy like while there's noise going on a pop flash to try and get me in there
but they feel very ready for these types of plays.
I'm on a control take and it's something that legacy are really vying for and for the most part have been struggling to get it in a safe manner
We're taking so much damage just to progress up to this point
But
After taking it gonna fall a little bit further back and they look a little decisive here
It's made. Oh, I could be good. It could be great and it is
new mountain arts
Really softened up by that one
One more native in that same position, sometimes you do see the double stack.
Santare's going to catch Nisim being cheeky.
Good reaction.
Well, of course, that's what he's known for.
KD are playing ANSI, one in towards dark, so ready to be hits like time and time again.
Satsi, nearly two for him.
Wox are gonna go down in dark as well, by the way, so...
Despite the fact that they're ready in anti-flashing and lined up and whatnot,
they fall completely flat.
Still a chance at the retake, but it's it's slim right if they lose one player here
I think it will be the save and the scope weapon has been retrieved
Now they look slowly back away if they can
They can still make this expensive thinking
The kit there there's an AK scoop top I
Reckon playing exits is not a bad idea though. I
Don't have loads of money. Yeah, it's true boss
You just know you can give that pressure on towards legacy beacon of guns. We'll all get one
Do they go looking?
It will get them for
Saving might be a different scenario, but then for sulfa needs to be a little careful. Okay engagement one
So it's three couches on both sides, but it's legacy you call on top of the round to get their second
Just getting up to a second. I mean
As we've kind of been saying, it's not enough.
I think you need to floor this into this half.
Just to really be in that super competitive position.
Four rounds is like a bare minimum,
but even that, it's still a tough one to make work.
You've got to get a pistol into a second half,
force by maybe even first gun round
before we can really once again
entertain those conversations.
So, pressure's still absolutely on legacy.
Let's see.
Again.
Not a control map. We have a priority. It's a nade that looks actually kind of, but it just goes past Brigadier.
Okay, here I'll eat a different nade though. So we just take some damage at the top end there.
Can we get any more out for legacy before the turn of the half? It feels like we're getting there quite fast. They're distracting the way!
AWOAH!
Whoops, it misses the mark!
How many times have we caught him doing that?
Zintarys will bail it out with the numbers as he finds two.
It's all flight up on the balcony.
That's a risk.
That's a risk.
I'm not so sure.
There's only one spot at short and it's not like he'd committed.
So yeah.
That's a crazy risk and it's given Legacy a new lease on life.
Legacy I've got a minute to work with.
They don't need to rush.
Sure at this point we should start really making the decision about where we want to head and it looks like they're just going to double pump the execute on towards the A site.
Let's see. So I say as well just as we were talking about that they start retracting. Maja, you'll find one but that's just going to drag them back over towards B.
They know they're falling away from this top mid control so they've got to be hitting towards the B site and now they can't cancel. Now they've got to commit.
commit and McCartney is here ready to meet them the flash over a dozen show his cars just yet the poker face is fantastic
And he gets both work hard here beautiful from him
Lovely work just patience paying off. He could have easily peaked on the flash. That was probably yeah
It's a smart smart call just a stay tug wait until they're so deeply and grossing towards the site that there's no fall back
I just heard some people call him Wakadia but when I look at the crop of kind of like
British casters we've got. It all southerners. Really at all? Yeah, maybe not. But like in
terms of the way that they speak, yeah, for sure. In terms of like, do we actually have
any Norlanders as casters on the Pro League? I don't think we do, right?
Well, there's true blooded as me. Sheffield, man, he's a man of steel.
my grandfather was a buffer and still works I mean I am a northerner but I
just grew up in the south yeah you did it you've been a part of it yeah yeah
here they are in everywhere but I think I just heard something we'll call it is
that's the kind of the way I've gone mate another one that looks pretty good
initially but it's less than I was expected my job
I feel like, oh, stop, I've been
using it. That is a fantastic
superb flash. And the fact that
Madge have actually been given the
luxury of getting out with it too
isn't bad either, but Zantares
misses a scissor. Yeah, just
getting a bit too close to me.
Clearly was not ready for that
fight. A lot of damage done.
Low time. There's some ideas
brewing for legacy. Thinking
about wrapping B, but they're
just not in position to do
that. So they're going to
the A-bomb site and you know, all bad luck here.
Soulfly though has potential to find multiple with these low HP bars.
First comes in nice and easy.
Second does get him though.
Meanwhile, Maja, low time.
If he can deny this here, he's going to try,
but a few too many angles for him to clear.
I didn't know how good he had it to just fly in
and take Mars into his own hands.
Wakardia could certainly get this done though.
26 HP standing between him and the victory.
The spray onto the second is so clean.
A reload forced out for Lato. A hold from Wakadia onto the bomb.
I might just get away with it. It's gonna be good.
He just gets it. He just gets it over the line.
Lato not fast enough to deny.
And it just cannot get any worse, Legacy say.
And then they lose a round like that.
Oh, Legacy can't buy a round right now.
Wakadia just so cerebral.
What a showing from him. He's had so far.
But that's a fantastic, fantastic little one versus three.
The first two fights are great, but he doesn't even need to fight the last brilliant brilliant stuff from him
That's a ninth on the board for Aurora
And a real real showing a class by this side at the moment
Legacy could barely scratch the surface in this first half and even if they get three rounds to see off this final round of play
I don't think it's gonna be enough Aurora look too comfortable too clean and Mokadia
Confidence is flowing through him. So if I gone down Mokadia, no way
I'm gonna push the way through.
You should try to be desperate to hit it.
Yes, he is.
Now that's overzealous.
Yeah, maybe this is classic Aurora, though, isn't it?
You know, they feel like they've got themselves
in a really winning position already
and they just sort of want to have a little look.
What can I get away with?
You know, what can I do?
Not so much in this round,
but there is always that chance.
Madge with a full belt still.
Your bombsite feels like it's gonna be tough to get into
depending on when legacy decide, if they decide.
Woxic with an easy one as the smoke goes down,
as the tires with a confident angle here,
good for one, but traded instantly.
They know about Woxic.
So what is the decision?
What is the game plan?
They are indeed gonna try and test him.
Takes another, oh, it's low,
but still manages to find the kill.
His second kill of the half, by the way.
So a big one for him to be landing.
while it is El Capitano here of Maget.
To try.
Well, Bell, are you talking about the way?
Yeah, he could do something with it.
The problem is 1vx, that going line is very risky to get utility out,
so I think he is just going to try and look,
at least for this first kill, before laying anything down.
Molly comes in, and that just immediately gets his position away here.
Doesn't have many options.
Nade attempted, it softens up one.
But the crossfire just feels far too effective here,
and indeed he shows his head the back of it and art will take it clean off so nine to three certainly not ideal for
the legacy side of things but
Either way they are able to recover back as much as they possibly can a rora looking to clean up house it
And I have a good feeling about the fact that they can do that. We're gonna take a break. We'll be back soon
Well, a stunner of a show-in to be perfectly honest, for Aurora 9-3 at the half, they really
looked quite effortlessly clean. There's a couple of overfaces for the most part, pretty
good and flip side for legacy. Lot of risks and not a lot of rewards off the back of
them and they've got a really soft strong in towards the second half. On the CT, if
we're going to have any belief here on this map pick.
and
Tires creeping in looking to find this first kill
Touching hard to take it through the smoke that went down a roar or not wasting any time some tires is falling
Their heart keeps the kills coming in that's that yeah legacy may answer your call and they will indeed find
Clean pistol question mark see what walks it can take if he nabs a couple of heads here
the damage itself is not looking too likely. He tries his best, but just can't get the damage
all onto one guy. Either way, big find from Legacy there. Great start into what they hope
is a big reset.
Yeah, it's nice to have a really clean Kistar, the gates as well. It just sort of reassures
the confidence a little bit. It reassures yourself that we have the facilities to
be able to kind of return back in towards this. If you like a Bomb Pop, means that
This is a freebie of a round.
You'll know that.
Fourth will turn to a fifth.
Pretty effortless.
Wacardi wanna take man, that's as good as it gets.
In a rather this, honestly, if you're Aurora,
you'd be ecstatic with a bomb plant.
I absolutely love that.
Anything more feels highly unlikely.
Wacardi is going a low.
Yeah, he went in quick here as well.
He's making noise.
They know he's up there.
Interesting.
There's definitely like an idea behind it.
You know, he got in fast and let him in.
He makes some noise.
I'm not quite sure.
I suppose they just wanted to draw some attention.
And so the apartment made them think
that it's like a waterfall play or something
along those lines.
Just hoping to catch some over aggression, aren't they?
But it's not going to happen here.
You know, this, as we know, is a throwaway round.
legacy or not. Taking any chances at this stage, maybe as it gets a bit closer, a bit
tenser, but don't want to be dropping to what could be a force. They don't know, right?
They've not really heard anything. So, I mean, especially if they hear Mokadia take
a tap with this Tek-9, they might actually get the feeling that it is a force.
They'd sell the Ruse, Tek-9 armor, better U2, that kind of vibe up.
Let's see, steps are towards long now and I can hear them wrapping through
in towards spawn. He's going to hold for this with the MP7. It could be a moe down here.
And they're lining up for him. Oh, it's easy for art and money. So much money in the back pocket
for that MP7. And the MP9 on this one will cash in himself. Last man on magia. He's over
towards balcony. Making noise on the drop will seal his fate. It's flawless. And that was a
cash grab for the likes of Legacy. You love rounds like that. And now of course,
a bonus buy for them. If they can make something out of this bonus buy, he starts to ask maybe
a couple of questions Aurora.
We're going to find out. I'm sure Art is loving the fact that the MP7 has come back in. He
also, as well as his textbook aggression, loved questionable SMG buy in particular.
True.
Bit of a bison once in a while, bit of a UMP when it wasn't really in meta, still
not in meta.
I don't know if the MP7 has made an aim for itself. Either way, as you say, important round coming up here.
Part does move up to that M4. Perhaps quite reluctantly, but they didn't necessarily want to be sat on three SMGs coming into this really important round.
It's true, but at the same time as well, I kind of feel like, you know, it's one of those, I always feel winning a bonus by such a thing that swings momentum in such a massive way.
And especially if you do it on those lesser weapons.
It happens all the time.
It's gonna come down as well.
Flash overs gonna give them mid control.
I think it's pretty easy to read where I roll when I finish it.
Just whether legacy can do anything about it.
So fly on top again.
Be a move as Satsyn will manage to find.
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No, no one in the door.
Wall. Don't worry, boss. I got
him. Just fully blinded up.
Oh, that's kind of hilarious.
Either way, Aurora make it
work nonetheless. Crazy. Yeah,
kind of slightly hilarious way
for that site to form.
Like we said, it was just
an own quantity that Aurora
will go in towards this site
and legacy. They always have
the numbers there ready for
they're ready for it but nothing they could do. Root 4, so win it out and better buy. It's
kind of a situation like this where in hindsight maybe having not invested in despite having
kind of a gunner ready for the likes of. No, for example, would be in the right call.
Only one survivors for Lata gets a couple of kills towards the tail end which is nice
to see but aside from that, great first gun round for Aurora. Get yourself in towards
double digits as well yeah yeah that door really got it let him know let him
know not even close I mean proven the pudding I'll get the flash with right
it's a fantastic one usually players are like a little close especially pro
players because he always like such a good sense of where the cross areas up
not seen one like that for a while yes miles off the target for like a good
half a magazine as well. He can make up for himself here. Let's see. The first will do
it. Sadzing could dip in for my leg spotted. Oh, a card here. Nearly lines up the transfer,
but just not enough. And Torus trying to make a move as well. They crossed from the
long player. Wox is going to find one of his own. They know Sadzing's in here as
well. He's going to get right to molly down as well. The smoke will extinguish
here just about. He can't have a blon. He's so lucky. Oh, five with a clean
one though is they just look for different engagements, you know, that guy in the apps.
Let's kill everybody else. And now his life is forfeit. He will back off and give the round
up. Roarer moving up to 11 looking really, really good here. You know, we had some slight
worries of this Inferno pick. But it seems like in the end it is just kind of come
into fruition, you know, legacy not really answering in the way that we expected. Start
the second half well but it's not lasted coming out of the gates
chomping at the bit looking really really really powerful some
crisp shots being here yeah we've got the number at the moment
on this map pick no less it puts you in a really nice spot
I don't think this is recoverable for legacy they've just not offered us up
enough yet, which makes me believe
I'm 17 on the cards and they're gonna go for the force bite. They're not playing
for OT here, they're playing to try and find and rekindle the flame whilst in
regulation. They will of course hinder the investment. Save the AK short, M4, P9
257s around it. They've got bits of utility but this still gonna be a hard round to
A lot of things have got to go right for them in an opening fight. Would it be nice do mouth taking banana control?
They're still cautious of the smoke in behind
Looks at keeping pressure on lower banana just to make sure that this isn't a map
Part of the map completely closed off. That's a nice fine
Yeah, do my son a really great round there to be honest like moving in and
Keeping them at bay in banana keeping control kind of playing like he's two or three people
You know loads and loads of support behind him and then of course finding the kill there on his way out
So I think they can be very very happy with that
A lot of damage done as you see so we're looking worse for where he is and tires
He's round elbow was there. He didn't see it though. I think he was mid-moving. It looked like a blur on his screen
All the same the position getting better and better for legacy is this
Continues
Do now gathering info now gonna call for the rotation suits. It's kind of the perfect round from legacy so far
Do not have a smoke though
On slowing down
It's the only one with a smoke
and he's not dead so
CT's gone slow the roll
Into be but the same time
Also not committed the moment those steps might have been heard of them rotating away
Molly's gonna come towards new box. Look at the time though 10 seconds
We're not smoking a Molly out, but do my own swing for one and five seven or dive through gets one and the second surely
Dead to right all in the shoulders of life
He's got no time for the park all the round and he won't to save either down
He falls and I'm writing things was just before time. We'll find out it was close
It was right on that second mark whether it was to tell if one second off that yeah
I was one because he was killed or because the timer
I kept my eyes on it. It did look like it was just prior.
We'll find out when we see the money I suppose.
Oh, he's happy.
Sturned look into the camera.
$100.
He's bought a Mac 10.
Mac 10 armor and smoke.
I reckon he got lost bonus.
Yeah, he did.
Be able to afford that.
bought round prior last burn yeah so he would have like in the bomb plant yeah so there's
not going to be loads available there for three get down with a second to to work which I guess is
okay but maybe in hindsight as well would have actually preferred to just keep the ak alive
yeah but he was five hp first orange they knew he was there I think he was trying to at least
reposition and then died doing so but if he'd stayed first I think they would have killed
them after time for sure. Sure.
Well, first step in recovery for Legacy. A lot of it really comes down to an honor aggression
that we're seeing once again. Lotto flashed and dead to the hands as Antares. The aggression
the previous round was nice. That was over aggression here though.
I think certainly going to be
an issue for legacy within this series.
You know, both teams love an over swing love a
reface.
Damage that so fight.
I feel that in the morning.
If you get some self a nice clean win here on
Inferno, I don't think he'll be too bothered.
Still my advantage for Aurora legacy.
Again, getting the shoulders out in banana.
out in banana, you know, looking really tough over there. But it is once again, all peacocking,
you know, there's not really much behind it unfortunately. Yeah, you're right. 45 seconds
to make a decision here. It feels like from the get go of this round that Aurora always
committed towards heading towards B.
down there's two tours of the site it's art close to an mp7 just keep one of the
32nd mark they're gonna make that pop move mp7 for one and the second was
potential offer and full blind do my well deliver it's just sort of down and
buy time for the rotations and maybe the spray down surely this round can't be
one it's a one versus two and magic good at all to do bond goes down plot
to play spots one of the cross as well. This is chaos and he's got on the cross by missing
legacy needed that and they'll get it. He does very decent damage there. I might have
given him, you know, a real try as chance of you had an AK landed a dink on that Mac.
So that would have been a kill, but unfortunately unable to convert. It'll be a bit annoyed
when they thought they could not clean that one up or at the very least make it look
competitive given the start that they had all the same well defended by legacy
their individuals waking up taking a lot of time to get here but they are indeed
picking up some pace and gap is closing pretty quick in there I think one good
clean rifle round and winning the conversions either side it and suddenly
we've got all our hands this one should be another legacy round yeah
Yeah, surely.
It's a bit of an off-and-burger over by.
Already. That's the first man. Dan goes with Cardia.
A very, very good first half for Cardia.
Which is considerably harder to do and replicate that level and towards the T side.
Dan goes Magid 2, just on the edge of that smoke.
I'm out is a question to all has been on has been really calculated
Raining three are in towards boiler and they got to peek out here one by one
Satsons boss the shoulders and Tara is gonna swing into this as he always does
We know that's how he likes it, but then she's taking a lot of damage. You'll fall away so fly all
Reclaim the space and lose his head
That's in looking to go back in again
Surely has to be careful playing with fire here or does he?
Shots keep on landing. 25 HP for Zintara's.
He begging for this first kill. Not gonna get it.
Legacy moving up to 8 here, flawless round for them.
Only being billed, but ultimately just the belief that they could do this.
They could certainly close this gap. There's a bit more work to be done.
But win this one and I might be on the bandwagon. We'll find out.
Yeah, it's nice little 3P's by Sads and quite aggressive.
And kind of taking those engagements is always good to say.
So, a pretty triumphant recovery, of course you've got a tech pause, enough time for it.
I'm going to tell you what the cause is at the moment, but this next gun round is kind
of of the utmost importance.
If we see someone's birthday, who is it?
I don't know.
We'll have to find out, and it's a good time while we've got the tech pause going.
all do is they have one here don't they yeah usually yeah I missed it oh maybe
it's like coach in the law or maybe last like couple of days a coach should be
included I could just be check everybody birthdays not just he goes
birthday today. That's cool.
That's faction as well.
Delix, youngster from Arsenal next to you.
18, that makes me sad. Born in 2008.
That's insane.
That is insane.
I was just about to head to secondary school.
Yeah.
The Unction 2008, I would have been year five.
There you go.
Yeah.
playing with Beyblade.
Eight years old.
Breaking hearts, you know.
You would have probably played football at that age
all the time, you know.
Being like, wow, there might be something here.
Yeah, me and Trent and I go on our own.
Oh, okay.
Have a little kick about.
All right.
Calling by his full government name then.
Every time.
I bet he demanded it with a name like that.
It's quite a strong name.
Yeah, it's got a strong name.
We just call him Trent.
We're on first name basis, I'm out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
I'm gonna say.
I still have to call it Mr. Arnold.
Yep.
Ben Woodburn as well.
Any bull knows one of that one?
Don't know that one.
They were both the youngest ever goal scorer in Torrester.
Oh, okay.
There you go.
Nice.
Anyway.
Tech pause and our following tack pause as well concluded.
I'm not thinking of looking towards the A side.
I'm gonna take mid control.
Pretty nice here, but legacy aren't fighting this.
happy to give it up. They want to kind of force them into engagements on the site itself.
Nice flash. Maybe heard that slight jump into his boy there, but aside from that, not a lot
of information gathered off the back of it.
A lot of space taken here for free though, or they just started getting the utility out.
I don't know how I feel about this setup. That flash comes in. It's fairly obvious
I feel that maybe try to set up for another one. I really wants this second flash. It's far too late. He gets bested
Now they've got to try and defend.
Dodgy Molotov's coming in. It's a mess. It's a big big mess from legacy. I
Maybe hated that setup to be honest and they are rightfully punished for it. Just not quite enough there
I understand the idea. They wanted to go towards long but
Not coordinated enough to get the flashes out of the right time. Yeah, and it just crumbles
So just absolutely crumbles do now here alone
Spotted now dealt with that we number 12 and that's really what you wanted to keep them off of
As much as humanly possible. Yeah, it's a really really shaky setup because
So our gets flashed in towards a long peak. He peaks out doesn't wait a guy self
Yeah, and he doesn't spot the guys in the smoke up close. This is Antares. He was actually walking alongside the wall
on that kind of brackets
wrap kind of positioning and again you know you get spotted the flash comes over
a supporting flash trying to help are as he's already being sprayed into the
flash was too deep and not even blinded by it. Nice work, nice head up there as well.
I shot by Satsun as he gets too quick flicked in a find and shut down this B
control. A's just work so wonderfully they go looking in towards B and it'll be
the cost of a couple of lies and
Tora is a major who now has to
call from the grave. Like I see
CT side actually looking pretty
decent here. There's a couple
issues for sure that might be
teething issues with art coming
in and just getting the whole
new approach the whole new
setup quite comfortable.
Overall, they've shot back a
bit better.
Definitely still have a chance
These bombsites pretty heavily. Yeah, and they do technically outnumber this be bombsite right now
However, good smoke. It's got a feeling
And he wants to rotate in and he will eventually commit
Is it gonna keep swapping between angles either way? He's close enough to be
To be I would say a part of that be defense potentially
I don't know the utile here. They're still gonna look in and give this a good go
They've got plenty of utility to work with the Molotov as well to try and flush out a position
The shots need to be crisp. There's a man up on the boost
So he's gonna need dealing with
Smoke is not designed for him by the way. It's not that perfect landing smoke. Oh, he does fall off though
Maybe a slight overstep doesn't matter too much two miles managed to find a double kill and now the bomb plant coming
In they give it to him. I would have figured that latter would have just flown through and tried to deny
It's a lot of respect being shown across, Wox, it could be happy to get the plant.
Can he take any guns with him?
On what you would assume is the way out here, the answer is no.
How within three rounds for the Brazilians?
That's not my medicine there.
It's such a, like, unorthodox angle to stay, post a basic anti-flash into a top car, but
in the end, numbers prevail.
It all starts with the opening double of the orb, right?
That's basically what gives them the round, because then they can just play the trade
game.
Yeah, you get a bomb plant, but ultimately quite simple one. Here's the first, and the boost up for the second.
Pretty work by Sads, and there's such quick flicks from him. There's nothing.
Yeah, you can see. Guarding on up here about that. Well, tonight, three round game, and this is
really open up now. You look in towards round over 22. The buy's not exactly beautiful for Aurora here.
the other side. Yeah. Double
Galeel double second on a P 250.
Four things go as plan. Legacy
should be getting double
digits. That's one gone around
being the difference. Yeah,
we're at now and this being an
overtime. Yeah, of course. I
mean, they're looking towards
the bomb plant. They're looking
towards. One foot in front of
the other. Nothing too
advanced here for Aurora. You
always capable. I find the timing. Will the or be pulled away?
Tarez, moving round. He's faster than the angle, still able to reset, but they're very
distracted by what's going on in the apartments. Super lucky for us to find a double spray
down there. Through the smoke, but then Tarez isolates that orp. Art gets another, really
keeping them alive in this round for sure. They are going to lose the site and the
bomb plant, but feel numbers.
Look, good enough, some swapping around to make sure
Woxic on his comfortable weapons.
And Tara is probably also preferring the AK in this situation.
Sports one towards short.
Does he see the next Woxic on this?
Oh, no.
Drawn away at the worst possible time.
Will it work out though?
We'll find out.
Woxic, no, he's caught in between two angles.
And that is a shame.
If you'd taken that long player, we'd really be on.
I think he may well have seen him
as he was turning as well.
He was quite quickly drawn back.
Just doesn't work for the two sim on the side.
Yeah, too little too late by that point.
Nice first shot as well from Zantarez,
but it's a little bit too much for him to deal with.
A lot of credit has to go to Art.
Those three kills that he gets are paramount.
Two legacies staying in this game, in this map.
I mean, if Art doesn't get a multi-killer,
I don't think they actually have anything to work with,
But he single-handedly keeps the numbers in favor of legacy,
which means that they can play the trade game on the retake.
12-10.
Like we said, it kind of feels like there's one gun round
being the difference between where we were at and overtime.
And this is said gun round.
This is the one that legacy need.
I'll be the most important round they've played so far in this map.
You find this and your chances of overtime are massive.
And that overtime, the great reset with the form that they're finding at this tail ends.
Hard not to think of them a little bit.
Certainly true.
Certainly true. We'll see more of them.
Surely got to have a secret little round
prepared for moments like these. Will it work?
It's a quicker move.
Up banana here.
They go bursting in, enforcing the players back and forcing a rotation.
Oh, dude, how fighting ahead?
slight over face how has he really got that that's got to be right on the crack
of the corner yeah crazy shot kills walk stick of his own AK as well just that
rubs hole in the wound hasn't speaking of crack angles it's not an easy don't
get much room for error here he's gonna get Molly out he'll fall back they
don't know and he was posted it they might not expect the guy up on high
I am missing will deliver Aurora your chances are dwindling now three versus five
55 seconds on the board and
Now it is basically a triple-stack towards me. Yeah, I just don't quite understand though
They go for this like relentless aggression at the top end of banana
You telling me the whole round hinges on the fact. Yeah, the legacy we're playing someone aggressively
The fact that they weren't
means Aurora
lose sight of the round. I don't really know what to make of it
Only now got the one smoke
Well Molly comes in on to the coffin player do my one bothered. However, oh the flash is so good from our
Tires alone
Deep with like 15 seconds is that what do I do? I mean probably just save the AK to be honest
But he did not fancy that.
I must make a scene are indeed doing it here.
They have pulled it all the way back over time.
Absolutely written in the stars for me.
Yeah, it feels all but guaranteed.
Something seriously miraculous to come through here.
But there's not to be overtime.
No bomb plan.
That won't show up the finances.
Sure, we can talk about their loss, but it's still going to be janky.
And as you can see, it is.
One Galeel is about as good as it gets for Aurora.
And Legacy from a real position of strength now,
call for a pause just to have one lost conversation.
How do we see this off?
Triple Mach 10, I think Galeel four as Antares.
He has no utility.
He helps with firepower.
In this instance, but nothing.
Aurora been throwing a legacy seems to be sticking the second half.
I've taken a moment to get there.
It was a bit of an early kind of start by Aurora, the pistol and the force.
But since the guns have come into play,
this two times actually look really, really quite clean from legacy.
They finally properly woken up as well.
And.
Damning thing is a roar from a real Lee in a real position of strength.
So choke this out is tough to watch.
Let's see.
Even if it is early on in the rounds
So they will group up for that so
Yeah, putting all of their eggs into one basket
Lacking some eggs could be honest as they are only four players at the moment
Surely got to be so ready here interesting smoke
Covering off pit sort of yeah trying to split up what is generally a pretty naughty cross fire
Fire, Zantares, his shoulder spotted just as this was falling away there, see why they
pulled so much uterine, it's a body spotted, this late part of the round surely, that means
a commitment play.
Yeah, I mean three smokes coming in as well, the B players are not moving though now.
They are not moving, so this could really make a difference to be honest with you,
Nysim gonna hear shots, he's distracted away, they're a little all hard done by
Crossing in towards the site, not ready to deal with art.
Can they trade him?
That's him, still alive on the AWP as well.
Not a lot of time here, gotta get moving in.
Art keeps the kills coming round.
It's all onto Maja to deny the OT
and it's not gonna happen.
We go again, a trading of halves, 9-3, 9-3.
My goodness, what is going on?
What has happened here?
What a recovery, what a recovery from Legacy 9-3 down.
And there was a couple of rounds at one point.
It's like 11 to 5 and they stick it right back in Aurora's face.
And as we go to overtime and there's great reset,
there's arguments to be made that the wind is pretty heavily in the sails.
This legacy roster, let's see.
The early days coming in, we're all sort of resetting the round really and not playing
super aggressive in Banana but Wakalia has been unleashed here.
Certainly a dog in the apartments.
Malf.
What a banana.
It's more forward than they usually would be in these
banana defenses.
And you see why maybe they don't go for it.
Zantara is able to entry.
Five on three.
Looks pretty damn good here for Aurora.
Oh, Zantara's.
Not that I find.
That's Lato. He gets clothes lined and out of the or she
wrote in this one.
Oh, I missed him.
Of course with 12.5K you can always make that sort of choice of maybe giving it a look in,
because you know you have some residual cash.
It's just not really worthwhile.
Not on the 2 vs 5.
So the round that was eluding Aurora in regulation is the age-old classic thing.
You can't get the 13th in regulation, but the first round of OT you find it, and not
only do you find it, you find it unbelievably cleanly to a flawless one at that or Aurora.
And that's what they needed.
Just to brush off the nerves that seem to have been creeping in towards the tail end.
Here they are. Just going to shuffle going away because my heavy upgrades being picked up.
And they came towards the wrong hands or anything like that.
13th found and going to pressure back on for legacy.
happened so often happened so often the team that you know is letting slip to
overtime couldn't figure it out in regulation just find a super clean 13th
but after the facts you know when they don't need it as much it's still good
to get out first round and just break the cycle and convince yourself that
this is gonna be a different kind of counter strike now coming into the
over time once again.
Boys are not wasting any time getting into the action this time around not quite
successful.
Kadia reigned in as he will be spammed through the smoke.
Joe waits.
Mal gonna host up on towards top range.
The triple play in through B in the early stage here.
Molly in a great position.
Magic surely that takes surely that spreads and it doesn't.
Oh man.
Fire all around them, but he survives and he is so fortunate and that now becomes a real oversight
Gonna bring the ball over to wall B, but they might overlook my just position
Let's be real. I don't know how strong it will be. Yeah, right, but
Might be a slight oversight
Regardless good timing on the smoke
At 50 seconds they get one down and they might even just pop my just through this
They kind of have to there's another smoke for do mouth
So we'll flash in, doom hour pie, only good for one before getting traded.
And then Lato's around here somewhere, he gets some good flashes in but he can't capitalise
on the transfer.
Oh my goodness, a miracle coming in from Lato.
Wow, that's crazy and it will indeed be the main reason they win the round.
That is kind of ridiculous.
Even as well in the flames, most people always commit to the pool player. He starts with the
sight player first while then transferring. Nice work, really is.
Definition of spray and pray, I think.
Yeah, but a fortune favorite in the mode.
I could have a confidence boost as well, because that was looking like a pretty scary
execute and they end up overcoming it with oh well with ease the end of things
any damage you'll tag up walks it just below half
but another need as well that comes over
catching Zantares oh even more so as well these HGs are deadly with a flash
in to fight for Dumau there's a fortune poor decision
The sims spotted. Taking down.
Sads in house managed to find a frag in all of this.
All this three though, looking pretty damn good for Aurora.
And they know that Sads is around in towards that site.
Kadia has moved in deep. He has definitely, I think said something coming into the overtime.
It's like, look, I want to be freed up.
I want to see what I can get away with and just sort of make my own place.
I'm feeling good, it's working, and it is working. Yes, but it definitely is a big big change up from regulations
Just give him the freedom to
Yeah, I agree
As you can see things off. Yeah, we're caught. He's a fantastic show in there
It means that Tara's been towards the top end for the majority of
this math
Time to party fell them out of some really dicey spots. This is the one off that
Fantastic with the break of the smoke was also a real clinical kill
Fun around of the half
Now as we look towards this CT side
I mean, I don't know for Aurora we've seen some real highs and lows of them
I just worry for it's been a while and Mokari loves this aggression of the fight. It'll cost him
The way you want to start your CT and a nice nade on towards magic to
Yeah, pretty crunchy to kick things off here. I think it'll be a difficult one for Aurora to get back into
Aiming to hit that 15 prematurely though as early as they possibly can to make a big difference here
They understand the position that they're in. They do not want to squander this one. Make
sure that advantage can sing for them. Easier said than done at times. Just have to be careful
not to lose themselves in the over-cautious play style.
I'm in towards B, but initially didn't feel like they're making a decision, they're actually
going to group up.
I think it is kind of the right move.
You know that no matter where you head, you can have the numbers of advantage.
Utilize that in your favor, and just as that smoke in towards the front side of site
fades, bolly in.
It's going to make life a little difficult.
It won't force Antares out of this position, and a flash of a command to slow them
down 20 seconds.
We've not got a lot of time here legacy, but
They're hitting shots. Oh, and they really are hitting shots all the shutters on Torres gets hit by an aid
And he'll lose his life to miss him on the swing in a matter of a moment
It's all on the shoulders of soul fly. There is nothing you can get going in this one
He's just gonna try and get out of there and save
Crazy clinical from legacy. Yeah
Making sure to check the back end of sight despite the low time
time, despite the fact they not really made a noise. So yeah, really, really well played.
I worried for them given the low time that it was going to be too much to deal with, far
too close and somebody swings out at the right time to deny that bomb plant, but not the
case really well done, taking the CT player as well all on the same page about the
fact that they're not smoking CT. Pretty confined. They even things up to 14-14.
I mean, difficult to split the difference here.
Or a long time in prime position to take this to a second map, maybe nice and quick for them, but anything but now the demons catch up to them, this could be really, really worrying.
This is looking a lot more like legacy of that first days. The first half in this map was rough, right?
really just never offer up anything.
So again, it's excited.
I'm more like it.
Pause taking by Aurora.
Where we're at?
It's honestly for me, this feels next to impossible to predict
because if both of these like real flashes of brilliance and then
they can fall off a cliff a little bit.
They've driven the last like three rounds in the real highs
and the lows of both sides.
It's so difficult to make a prediction
Because neither of them have really claimed consistency in this OT.
Two rounds in a row required by one of these sides to see this off in OT1, or on a piece and we'll move forward to another.
Magic number of course being that of 16 and so far I want to put the first step there, but spotted out by this and it doesn't over swing.
kind of messy here. Legacy, as you can see, somewhat desperate to find this round, to find a frag.
The smoke is absolutely perfect to keep that AWP at bay. Should be Aurora's round here. They look
pretty disjointed, and there's only two of them on the legacy side.
It's quite instinctual smoke there. Just get it down as a precautionary method in doing so.
Locks off one angle you have to hold. Now they can kind of hone their attention
in a short contact play for a soul fly or long but towards B they go, Riccardia.
He's come up in a multitude of rounds of the CT side for them and they call upon him once again here.
Twenty seconds they're wrapping in but Riccardia swings and finds. There's no way they're safe
on out of this because Riccardia's got other ideas. A big 1B2 on that B site for him
and once again showing just how locked down, just how clutchy can be.
the support was nowhere near that point and he comes up huge map point aurora
making it look easy at the end as we're cardiac but yeah really really big
fine from him and now they secure themselves a solid position to work
from can they convert it from here couldn't do it the first time of
in regulation with quite a comfortable run of rounds in which to do it was four in a row, I do believe.
Four legacy to take it to OT.
Wasn't a CT, wasn't it? That's the thing.
We're kind of going back to the woes of the Tiki side once again for the...
That'll start well. I'll take a lot of damage to the Molly.
They'll be happy with the kill though, of course, I mean gives him so much control and run of the mill
Duma has gotten in quite deep here. Imagine how spotted needs to be careful. He didn't get overwhelmed
He was smart to watch for it. He will go down
There is this bomb headed Zuntara is aware
Moving in for another though doesn't quite find the kill. It's all gonna be down to soul fly
again is also within two minds
three versus two, but they're
insanely split on the CT side
and you can see how he is a
little they might be coming.
You know, they had a guy in CT
they might actually we've not
seen the bomb yet. What are
we doing? Art creeps round to
find the head. I'm going to go
again there now. Yeah, I
think you're right. One versus
three required from a card here.
Surely doesn't have a chance in
this one. There's just too many
angles to clear and he does
have the right utility for this
either. If you had a smoke,
there might be a chance and I
just say that as he picks one up. I don't help this first fight spotted trot and
only a little bit of damage dealt on towards and of course you're gonna get
this a decent look in. He's got half HP to work with. They need a flash to pop
himself in. You can okay this back corner and if he does I'll give him a bit of a
look but no he opts against these diving around looking he's just on the
time. Sadly they'll see it off. Patience a virtue. Four legacy. We go again
over time number two required in this map number one, and we may have had a
Real easy opening series to start the day, but we'll be made to work here. This is going to be a long one
I think yeah, absolutely and again
It's just all what you would expect from high-level teams teams that are capable for sure
Sometimes you know those mid-level teams that are on a big upswing don't rightly know what to do and they start losing
I suppose and then we have these guys so many maps so much experience against each other a little while ago now
You know before player break and whatnot, but
Obviously took some time for legacy to
Refind their sea legs
against the roar
It takes a lot of damage to the early day
At the moment
it's sort of
Batta has been really about who can have those slightly stronger CT sides.
That's what, it was Nino 9-3's throwing back in the face of T-Sides being the glaring issue
for both of these teams.
Look at Legacy, in towards his OT number two, like if they can have a first half here of
two out of three rounds on the T-Side, Aurora starts being in a hell of a lot of trouble.
Molly, the force walks back, but it'll drop one of his own just to try and keep
them obeyed.
sure of a smoke down long that I've got to keep them pincers into one position at least for now
50 seconds on the clock. That's not a bad position to hold
So smoke this is life awkward needlessly touch your follow up through it. He's watching
it though far too smart for that
This him knows what's up. That's a legacy type play to be fair. Yeah
Yeah, right out of there.
They're strapped, but they're out of the wheelhouse.
Really well done.
Really well held.
You're now going to come over the top.
There's only 20 seconds to get this bomb down the rotations.
Again, not coming in as Aurora remain
or where that bomb is ending up.
What's it takes an aggressive move and he will find a frag
keeping the bay here.
They're going to bomb down.
No, 10 seconds.
They have just managed to find the important kill.
Zintara is back to way as the smoke came in.
I think with that's low of a time.
You just have to commit be on the site be a body be in the way
No, I think you're right. I think you just got to know that one favorable killer drop in the bomb and that round is all up in the air
Not to be ice work by legacy and ends up being a pretty seamless round at the tail end looking back at it hindsight
Nice couple of kills from this and especially that one on the left
That was the real last danger man. They had to worry about
16 to kickstart the seaside
You're pretty low but the bomb is planted far side
Okay
No, he's not
Do about bandlato both go down. That's the inferno bomb radio. So you're right there
I guess also is a
Yes, you both die, but you're dying in a position where the AKs are unrecoverable to any potential lurking CTs, so
You don't mind too much poor steak in here by legacy from an advantage as art getting very local
Here is to see what they are getting vocal about to be fair
It's not that deep into this OT
Really want to punch in some tea side rounds. I would imagine
certainly an easier said than done task given the way the game panned out and
you know the road sees as well a little more CT sided for both squads but we'll
see him it's a curious timing on the time out
trying to keep the heads in the game maybe
let's see
Spam, oh it's close on both sides.
Doom out.
Mccarty, Hansel and Thor is all taking damage and they're all trying to spam and they could
still be pretty dangerous.
They're really left low here.
Very seen each other but the amount of damage traded is massive.
How do you stick around?
He's still trying to find a favourable spam.
Is he go quiet as they call for a little pump of the brakes?
I wonder what legs you're gonna throw them now.
What was the reasoning behind that time out?
It's a good question, to be honest.
Not so many presents coming in the long smoke to work with.
Not really following up off of it, to be honest.
They take a tiny bit of brackets control and then back right off.
So it seems like the bomber is going to be headed towards B here, Aurora will be ready.
Now some well-timed utility here, maybe looking to try and make a move.
Madge was thinking about it, but drops back.
Smoke goes down, 30 seconds left.
Do they want to burst through this smoke?
A late boost up coming in as well.
Utility will come raining over the top.
Cardia watching for this boost style lineup or a flash maybe to come his way
Just so he can play ANSI or block that smoke
Now I'm going to come raining on in with Cardia
Late to it, there's a rotation here as well
I feel like the self is just so strong right here
From the CT side with no time remaining
Now to rush that bomb plant, it's not going to happen
And an awkward survive after time in the OT
Not a great look actually but it doesn't matter
Too much in the end. Yeah on the less a really flat round from legacy given the timeout. Yeah
I'm much more locked down defense, right?
That's what Aurora showing a lot of in that first half of regulation and
Especially when you see what Cardi in the thick of it because he was so paramount to their successes nice little play
By just time as well and actually I love the kind of way that we're cutting goes about it
He let's magic hit the first couple of contacts so they spend enough time thinking okay if there was a booster player
They would have peaked by now. It's what on the surface you say is a bait, but it works out really nicely
It's sort of like peak timing. Yes, exactly fight sense of that is really really good
Now for the first they have left an orp by the way
Port just at the start there and left an orb into a CT spawn
See what that's all about. There's still two more players here man. Just gonna be up close
You'll get out in front of an aid. Oh my god. That's so risky
9 times out of 10, he's dead to right here. And he is part of the 9. It's all on Zantaris
who struggles to move. Oh my God. He's very fortunate to get around that corner but he's
still all alone. Yeah, he's pretty lucky. I think there was like a molly down and
then they sort of smoked the molly or something and it just got in the way or maybe a slightly
failed lineup from legacy. Something like this. A little strange but all the same.
get to live to fight another day. Big find from SoulFlight. Delon over here though. Perfect
timing on it. Maybe, maybe not quite. They rush through as those Molotovs tickle to begin.
Takes a while for them to heat up, of course. The bomb going to go down here. Wokstick.
Hearing good time. There is no Moto Smoke. He's got two flashes. That's about all
they've got to really get excited about here. Tare is on the contact or something
He's not super familiar or comfortable with keeping the element of surprises. I'll just go contacting around the corner
Lato or trained in they try and boost up that does not work at all. It has gone
South real fast and it's legacy to take the lead moving into the second half
And it's massive that they're done that on the T side of overtime as well, but it's really gonna help
Or Aurora
I don't know, their T side has not been fantastic, I think they might have spun on a chance there.
Megasi came with quite a lot more relentless aggression in towards this team side and it just catches them off guard,
but the push and pull was excellent, and it missed them.
Despite maybe not getting an abundance of kill, the amount of space he's creating and gathering and information off the back of his lurks,
it's giving a lot of opportunities for legacy and that's why they go for that late rotate.
Even though he dies, he still kind of gained the idea that this Max won here.
They draw the numbers back.
Aurora, they'll use their one and only time out for this second overtime.
Here and now, knowing the pressures on as they head in towards their T side.
But, is he on the CT?
You find yourself putting an 18th up here having two rounds of spare to close it
out. I mean that pressure might culminate and be too strong for Aurora to deal with.
Oh gotta be careful I was gonna say no one at the top end of an honor but uh...
Well I could do more if you want to.
That was a little low here.
Okay, snades. Better in CS2, but still somewhat inconsistent.
That was good, though.
That was pretty nice.
Fortunately, these T side snades, not really as impressive.
Ooh, there you go.
That's idea, but it's still over too early.
Yep. We love that lineup, though. It's pretty sexy, in my opinion.
Agreed.
3 playing out towards 8 early, here 4 legacy, but it looks like the bomb wants to head towards
B. Nice timing on the smoke just as we get towards a minute.
I forced him back, however, as they're starting to rotate, Hoth sort of tempted by the idea
himself.
He has deep been towards CT spawn, he's really expecting a wrap through.
actually to be fair, without smoke potentially.
The one dropped and I'll get rid of his spot.
I don't want to play this.
I mean, what is the ideal way to play that smoke? It's going down.
That certainly all helps out and comes off to just try and smoke them out.
I'll go from behind needs trading and he will not be.
He's got that bomb dead to right 10 seconds remaining here, but the site itself falls
That's a bit too easily. I can't stop them recovering the bomb
They're now gonna get the plant going three on three retake that you feel an overtime you absolutely will go for but it's going to be very tough here
What's the smoke out towards long walks extending strong?
Lato hadn't even really made it across he's got lots of clearing to do here not feeling confident to move up short
the
apartment.
The apartment is clear.
The very tail end.
Maybe R is the man to do it.
Maybe R is the man to create it.
Lato 18 HP.
I can't quite locate the bomb though.
It's all the way at the back end of the site.
He'll take the kill.
I don't think there's enough time on this one.
Good effort.
Here we are.
We go again as it remains.
No one hitting that 18 just yet.
Yeah, these two sides are inseparable.
There is no difference between them.
It's a good effort from off.
Maybe in hindsight, it could actually have been a little bit more aggressive when they're
trying to recollect that bomb just because of the time.
As you're rightfully brought up, there's only 10 seconds on the clock and they dive
in towards the smoke, collect the bomb and go for that back corner safe plant.
17 apiece.
We did expect this one to be a bit of a bomb burner, and Marathon no less as well.
Deep in towards double over time, and one of these sides needs two back-to-back rounds to see it off here.
And let's be frank, the way these OTs are played out, that feels pretty unlikely at the moment.
Padilla.
Once again, looking to be sort of let off the leash as he was in that first part of overtime, if you remember.
On his own here, trying to make some space.
Obviously there's not really anybody out towards Brackets area. They've seen that orb as well at short
The bomb wants to head B. Depends what these A players can cook up
Indeed they
Rids it back around again. I think I've got a lot of info from Wakadia saying listen no one's peeking no one's taking these fights
Into the brackets
This one R is here and he's been looking good the past few rounds
He's going to slow them down, takes another face and he's able to live it.
Ridiculous what this guy gets away with. That's a very artist-esque fallaway there.
I mean really, off his wheelhouse if you've actually got like a tag as well on that.
Can I drop away? It's all flight for one. They know there's a player somewhere around pit
whether it's big or mini. They just can't quite figure out.
But at the same time, niss him for two humongous kills
And the numbers advantage now on this retake bomb will go down part of by Woxic but they are going to respect it
They don't dive through the moto smoke and they're gonna stick up together
But it's a dynamic duo is Lato and Dumal these two
Pying together of bailed out legacy in a multitude of occasions and this feels like another look in but it's all down to Woxic
He gets the first with a shot through the box. It's all on the shoulder the Lato now
Woxic is woken up more, but they like to stick this
Oh, he doesn't I think if he had stuck it would have won it but he gets off and walks it wins the one versus two
If he had stuck it he honestly would have won the round
That's crazy. I mean he was like three-quarters the way through
I think walks it could kind of awkwardly, you know forgot he didn't plant well enough
And there was space to diffuse it around the corner
That is perplexing
Think he's expecting a peek or something like that.
That is strange.
But, benefit of hindsight.
Tough one. Real tough one Aurora now, then.
From a position of not looking so hot, have managed to wrestle things back actually in their favor.
So again, looking down the barrel of potentially another overtime, maybe they can squeeze out the victory here.
But just feeling overtime.
You just kind of grind out the round, see how they come so long as you can get that even up possibility.
You know, that next overtime unlocked.
Yeah, you're going to feel good about yourself.
But I'm curious to see if they've got anything left in the locker for this round.
Yeah, I just don't think you've thought off the gas.
This is a real kind of battle of fruition here.
It's the long game being played in this marathon and of course that one is always going to be
a tiltor or legacy, but two for two from your T side, you're pretty happy with that.
Three for three to close it out would be a statement of a recovery.
Nice nade though, Tantara's and Woxic both softened.
I'm going to go. Bursting in
by the looks of it now. They
will charge through the flashes.
Pretty damn good, though. Three
for Doomow. Lotto here to back
him up. We go again and we go
again. Man alive. Just no real
ideas left. I think at this
point you get into a third O T.
It does become carnage. It
really does. So I think Aurora
to the wind, you get a bit of divine intervention maybe, difficult, very, very difficult, sure
what to make of things, so just having a little look here, Navi beating out Monty on the A-stream
if you didn't catch that one, ooh, a 13-1 on Inferno's a bit, a 13-11 on Mirage, good
effort, is indeed, but Navi, I feel like this is a good time for them, you know,
This is the type of event where they might thrive.
Slight mistakes for some of the top teams and whatnot,
and the online stage and everything,
and make a big old difference.
Right, look, in a somewhat comfortable spot as well
to close out that nook at the moment, too.
We'll see where that's the case,
but we are in a slight tech issue here.
I did see it was someone running away for some kind of, you know, eligible break out
after such a long map.
It's fair enough.
Ah, we've been told nature's calling.
Yeah.
John Pork is calling.
Will you pick up?
Have we brought John Pork?
Will you pick up?
Also, no, that guy always wants something from you.
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, those characters, the only only really like once
you when he needs something from you. Yeah, he's not just calling for a catch up. Exactly.
Yeah. There was a time I respect to John pork, but he went down a bit of a dark path. Yeah.
No, exactly. Well, once nature's finished calling and well, legacy hang up, get this
calling now. Triple O T. This is again, like this map so far has been so difficult to
predict all the way through. The chopper and changing in terms of the momentum has made
this a brutal affair. I still think I ever so slightly give the edge to Aurora, but every
time I think that we see a beautiful moment from somebody like an art, or you know, Dumar
and Lato have their own showings as well, I think the legacy that we're really kicking
themselves again, like that clutch is really nice by Woxlick, but Lato is one of those,
They lose his maplers, especially in the series, they'll look back in the demo and look back
in the VOD and be like, oh man, we could have just stuck that.
There's like those small, small mistakes.
They can compound.
We're back live.
It's triple OT.
Imagine number we now look towards is 22.
And be fair, after critiquing it in regulation and an OT1, both sides actually have pretty
good T sides there in towards that second bar, though, T.
Starting off with the early nades once again, but a lick of damage done here.
He's slightly faster, A scale from the T side here.
We always expect him to live and die by the sword, R, 8 and 6 in opening duels, like
he's constantly fighting.
I think that's a good one.
Tata is seven and oh, and
I know his numbers are.
Speaking of that, it's made
that nine and six.
Huge and they got seven and
seven as well for wakadia. He's
also been really set in a
tone of temper. You spoke about
him being led lose, but
magical phase to smoke with
the supporters and Tarez.
Look at this little pounce
Genius. Fantastic crunch. It gives him a solid chance into the round.
Woxic on the orb. He has missed the timing on this player on the left.
Dumau then, if he paths perfectly could thread the needle.
Let's go up onto the balcony.
And he's going to spot it. Brilliant stuff. Really well found.
Tintara is also deleted and Dumau with a hell of a moment.
That is incredible from Dumau.
You literally can't put a foot wrong there because of how that crossfire works from the lower end of cold boxing towards Big Pit,
that scale up on towards balcony and on the railing itself just to see the top of Wok's six heads.
That's brilliant from Dimao. He continues to have really good moments in a fantastic map so far.
That's another absolute stunner.
And the second just insults to injury.
Brilliant clearance, just making sure.
That's what it's all about.
to kind of run legacy needed
after the loss of the clutch in
the previous the win of the
clutch here reignites the flame
once again and Aurora immediately
and towards their first time out
in this third OT. Looked a little
bit tilted as well, Aurora
that's how into that. It
rejected. Yeah, not messing
around, though. As they
understand. It's a lot on the
line here. They need to get
way towards the top end of the map pool for Aurora and there's really not that great for legacy.
It's tough to say. Let's be real, it kind of feels like if we're being completely honest,
that legacy kind of has to with this one. Especially after all this work, to be honest.
Yeah, like you're saying from a logistical standpoint, but also just I think a mental
one that it's like if you can't win your own map, big after all this and the comeback
back and everything. Yeah. Yeah. And then you're going into a kind of sticky map. The
second is just great for you. Every sense of the word aids out. Damage done to this T
side. There you go. Tiny bit. It's not a lot. That's also three nades and quick succession
they've seen here. I'm sure maybe one could have been dropped. That's a fourth. They've
got to know this numbers here. Surely this prompts an alien and actually off the back
of that fourth may be in throne are who's looking like he's tempted rotate back
towards a that's a smart move under a minute now but roar gained a lot of
useful information off the back of that you told us being from those four nades
and quite quick succession third one on towards the site as well this is a
smart move to head back towards a a flash out to take long control is good
as well this in with a clean find the smoke in the way now that buys time
They're moving down banana as well. So it's man advantage
Decisional advantage here. Woxic tries to find the head through the crack angle, but it's not gonna work
And this is gonna have to go crazy sad thing gets caught. It's all a bit weird over here on the a bomb site
It's all fly flying down and a big double from him
Meanwhile, do now on this flank evens up the numbers. It's gone very very chaotic
The smoke at Moto though
They still have one available going to make all the difference do now goes down
to be a hero and it's so fly
with the 4k in from pit to
pivotal kills to secure the a
bomb site. And they just keep
coming at him. Doesn't even
break a smile as well. You
know, job is far from done in
this one. But that is a nice
round. It's a really nice kind
of reaction. The second that
as we say that you to come
through. It's just immediate
call that by magic group up.
Let's play together. Let's
trade each other in towards
It did a valiant effort, but it was just too many bodies.
That initial fight is really good as well,
but yeah, soft fly, exon isolation of fights.
Here is the tied game, but it's caught on the alt.
We know he likes it.
He loves a secondary alt from his past,
but he opens up proceedings.
Another opening kill for him, by the way.
Sands didn't get one of his own
on the towards that B site.
Immediate response from Legacy.
really really sound one as well arts 10th opening kill the 16th in total yeah
crazy
they didn't die by the sword money for lenders but look at him he's 28 and 25 I
can't even take it away from sometimes you could call it over fighting but in
Inti. When it's working.
Huh? Inti. Intending.
Yeah.
Oh. Big knee.
It's Molly as well.
It feels comfortable here.
All the execute at least. Can they land a shot?
The answer is no.
The flash. Waxing the remains.
He's not going to be able to find anything here.
Nothing at all in fact.
So that's a really nice round. Comes off the back of the
opening jewels of the
double-orbs set up really solid really clean stuff once again as they will take
that lean moving into the second half. I think that is all we've actually really not seen a
double-orb roll out kind of at all throughout this this series. I'm not saying
I might have even been the first time we've seen on the CT side especially four
legacy so still got a couple of tricks up the sleeve and there it works in
and they come in towards their first round of the T-side no orbs.
AK's across the board, so
Get more of the restaurant to be had here, but double AWP gonna be returned by Aurora. I just sees that says
It's got a lot of that one, mate. I'm gonna take it myself. Yeah, why not?
Acadia takes some nade damage
So he looks to be holding be kind of
By himself he does have some support, but I call I though I feel a trading positions a little
Like we're kidding best works below this rifle. He's looks so solid with it
Trying to do something a little bit different, I think, but we'll see it's the A bomb site, right?
We might not get what they do in the conversation if his teammates cannot hold the site over here.
Slowly started scaling, but they have grabbed a little freeze.
Room out, creeping round, trying to find the head. Not gonna happen, it's so fly from the pit.
He enjoyed the position on T side. He's enjoyed it now on CT side as well.
up still alive in on the side. Woxic for one, two and not quite three just yet.
He will be bailed out and saved but really well held. The first two are so
important by him and Soulfly as well. There is a mean crossfire from the side.
There's a player playing frontside, a player playing towards library but they're
in an angle which is quite shallow so they can't hold the deep motor position
and that's where Soulfly can step up. Really really nicely done.
Yeah, this double by walks is so important different and dive and it's so difficult to find that kind of shot
They've not given the luxury of it
20 a piece tied again. We said number we're looking for is
22 and these two sides just continue to trade rounds and trade blows that
We could be getting a quality at this rate. They are still
Inseparable. Yeah, is that double up back in play for Aurora?
No now is well in the hands of saddened on the flip side. Let's see. Okay, dear
We're some young girl a molly that'll come deep around into the top car and it'll
Just ever so slightly burn a few miles free the flash is fantastic
We're calling out on the pressure the first is good
But a quick trade looking for more from Madge and he actually is a multi kill because he's all alone in this endeavor
He's flashed into the fight and he needs something, but they're talking towards all it
chaotic. This is surely now legacies round to lose.
I don't know flabbergasted.
That was not the nicest thing to watch.
That was a bit rough, you know, magic just so panicked.
I think deer and headlights ultimately
form will get planted here.
The smokes have dissipated, though.
Santares feeding.
He tries to find this first kill.
He has the right idea that I was going to beat him.
He just wasn't patient enough.
That's it with the miss shot spots out another so fly mean while coming in from CT here smokes out banana
Flash comes in it's kind of a gap in that smoke unfortunately so fly though for the first not ready for Lato
It's all gonna be down to waxy. He's got to pull off a reload
He doesn't have a lot of time to now play with and he's lost track of the players
It's it's a Hail Mary move. What is that smoke doing takes the head of one can't get on the bottom time though
Absolutely no time for this. Oh, man. It's close and he would have had it if he just had that
extra half seconds but the bomb got away from him absolutely ridiculous and a lot
of it for me comes down to Wakadia yeah on that re-swing I think he has to move
to play safe and keep control I think for the rival I can enter in that
conversation with the alt there is no ability to multi kill me look at the
best work that wakadia has done on especially on the CT side it's
He's multi-killing by isolating duels, but he doesn't, he swings in, he's just too many bodies to find.
With an orb in that spot, maybe play for the cross-angle, fall back towards CT, on the entrance towards Church, and kind of play your way around like that, especially because he wasn't smoked, but...
Here's one of this. It's a fun-world opportunity, and it's now map point legacy on this T side, an early nade damage on towards Wokadia's good.
One of the few times where, you know, we've kind of said I like the better on the rifle, but now he's being so low, and all might be alright with the FB's law.
Yeah, a bit of a change of pace. He starts him back, bomb that AWP.
up. Very tense around here with a minute left on the clock.
Because he wants to see this over the line. And Aurora kind of difficult duty, but they
of course want to take it to another overtime. We're looking down the barrel of doubling
a normal map length. That's really smart, Mark. He's purposely
takes in that Molotov to keep attention drawn towards B. He walked into it on purpose.
He knows that's going to keep bodies here, the very least.
And that remains as only two towards the A site.
That could be a kind of a genius move to pack itself.
And he's just still barreling Utahlova.
Might rotate in a second off the back of this kill, but this is huge.
He hit two.
He hits Hansen as well.
It wasn't quite the double kill, but he did collate with the bullets.
Lot of damage done.
The rotation's now going to start coming in.
Woxic dynamic here as well. 10 seconds now.
Yeah, we've got to go on this bomb down.
Surely not with the player in a cold zero box.
Bomb's going to hit the deck.
Five, four, come on.
It's a bomb! It's a bomb!
It's a bomb!
Oh my God!
Aurora, so lucky it was only, I think, one player left
on Aurora.
It was in Romney.
Couldn't find the bomb in time.
You looked and it looked away back to cold zero.
Looked it again and then looked away back to cold zero.
I'm pretty sure after getting that trading needed to like pick up the bomb and plant immediately
So a light dawdle look at him looks at it
And he looks back and he realizes yeah
Fancy more patchy
Inspecting his AK
Cool, it's doing shiny things subway surfers on at the bottom of the screen
I mean, you know, brain rot.
Some A.I. is explaining a movie to him and back.
He needed that bond to, you know, be sparkling seven different colors to spot it, apparently.
Oh, man, that's a fumble.
It's just a second big moment as well for legacy of like, not quite sure what are we doing here.
Hasley said why we even execute the 10 seconds.
Like, we had that set up and ready to go for so long.
Either way, back in towards quadruple overtime.
Now we play first to 25 in the opening couple come the way of Aurora
That's the of Ricardo on that rifle. We've said we've loved the one that be anchor with it. That's why
The double law back and get behind
Situationally, but we'll cardio be anchoring on the CT side with this rifle is so clean at the moment
Feels like we're in prime position for legacy to just crumble after that
I think it's a good idea to
get back into things. Um.
They might mental boom on sleep
really could be a possibility
they have to be. On it. They
have to be locked in this sort
of following round is not a
great way. Get back into
things. Three players remain as
they slowly but surely make
their way in. We're K. They're
playing behind that smoke.
Able to net another and you
over here, but he's creating enough chaos. It's all going to be down to Satsi and 1 vs 3 does not happen for him. Aurora getting that 20 seconds and it is getting tough over there in the legacy camp. Yeah, it's starting to get to a point where you can assume that a mental boom will be imminent or maybe already has happened, right?
and I'm not going to be able to
get. Squandered chances and
opportunities and a long drawn
out map like this. That's where
you just start to make silly
little mistakes and over swings
over fights and. He honestly
comes out of the battle fatigue
now, and it feels like Aurora
might have a little bit more in
the tank. And alive, though
news festival series in between you're like, oh, man, it'd be good to, you know, get some
into, you know, I want to, I want to see a reason that I feel like we can actually cause
I feel like we just kind of, yeah, that first series, not only was it one-sided, it was
kind of just like kill, trade, kill, trade. Oh, double kill. Okay. All right, one, save.
Yeah, there was a lot of rounds, you know, which is obviously what we're about as you
know what I kind of made this joke to you off off air earlier but kind of the
difference between these two games so far at least that first game it's like
you know Josie Marini on the tactical board and this is the two babies fighting
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah big two babies fighting and especially now as
we are in the quadruple overtime and thank the gods for quadruple overtime
first of 25 because there's no way I would have a clue what round we're
Yeah, going to this deep sad for me. Yeah, I know eventually you figure out, but it's just easier in your mind
We're gonna find out though one more over time. I think that's where we start losing our minds to be honest
Yeah, I've not been that deep in the OTS for a long time and been down those mines
But either way it's for you right you get oh, yes
Yes, yeah exactly add for and that's what you need to win
These days though now it's true
So that's fine, but on this one. That's a four kind of a nothing
But then the same thing for wikari here. He's given them B site
Was that push necessary that feels completely completely necessary?
I'll get smoked across and they're gonna get a bump on this wikari did not to be
Did not need to be swinging down banana
He honestly could have just shelled up on towards the site and seen off like that
but look with her up. We retake territory for Aurora. We never should have been in this spot.
And these are the mistakes you make deep in towards a map with fatigue starts to become a real factor.
And legs you might have a chance to hit on to the corner. First fight is a miss. Madge on the swing
delivers and it's all on the shoulders of Sadden. And all he wants to do is just buy some time.
Hope that he can stay alive for as long as possible. Madge is shook in a mulling towards
his position. In just a second, there's the first. A flash to the far round. He wants to
They are a fight with the flames around his feet and now see it all Aurora recover around that never should have needed to be recovered
Yeah, I mean I saw the sort of effortless four versus two coming in and I was kind of like, okay
It is falling apart. It is crumbling. It's it's looking pretty tough, but
There was that move through the smoke so yeah some questionable things you hit the nail on the head
It is overtime syndrome
as we often talk about
The legacy find a way back into this or is it too far gone? Are they too deep? Do they just want it to be over in the pain?
It's a real real test it these deep over times man
Imagine imagine going this far in you know what over time is enough for my teammates to usually just quit the premier game
With you guys
Happen from time to time
So just imagine, you know, you this far in a professional game. Yeah, my thoughts exactly look at that
That those eyes have lost all their life man. That's a man who's seen some stuff
He's just
Or rather maybe trying to stay in the zone. Oh my god, it's it's two ways
like, yeah, you know, meditating over here. We got one guy insanely locked in. Quote unquote
sleep. Wake up meditating man. Yeah. You know, I feel like you just in two minds. It's either
like you sort of contemplate your entire life like why did I ever start playing CS? Why
did I join this team? Why did I stay retired or you just try and make a noise in you
you know, like, oh, you know, like in your mind, whatever, just try not to have any thoughts.
He's thinking, he's visualizing.
Yeah, visualization is like, apparently it really does work.
So what does F1 drivers do in like the Moto GP guys and all that?
Visualizing the one taps.
Not valid. I feel you there
It's unfortunate all because it like a tech pause I kind of one of the worst times to get a tech pause as well
So deep into what's a series. That's just like so zoomed in. Yeah, that's kind of intense cameras close
Yeah, we are
forced the way here with time for a tech pause like that never a good time for a tech pause but like
Quad O T to get a tech pause which completely breaks up the mental. I'm assuming this might even be another major cause
Could be that's why I was thinking yeah, that's why I was thinking I feel like when you get this deep in they're probably
obliged a bit more tech timings and stuff like this because
It is a real factor
much much much later
Finally, back out of the way.
Oh, thank you, SpongeBob for that one.
Two rounds required for Aurora.
They are, yeah, they're just, you know, in a spot where it feels nice and commanding
and we worry the legacy might have just used the last of their energy of that
tail end of the third overtime and in triple OT, on to that chance. Molly will come down
and force Antares back. Give them mid control which is nice. A smoke down
towards mid. Molly in towards short. They can't really progress from here for now.
Couple of eight on the corner. No one's home. Nice idea. Yeah, nobody gonna be
there. I mean this is a really important round. We've not seen any team
Yeah, either team yet find a flawless half
I couldn't really be a game changer who used to coming in
That's so gonna find it a lot of low HP bars Molly comes in do now already in an advanced position
Is it a be hit? Is it an a hit?
They don't quite know need to follow up over there and art will go down three on three now walks it with the chase
he does find the kill, but, most importantly, he grabs the information, sats in now, doesn't
quite know what to do. Do Miles actually coming back towards A?
Cardi maybe learning from his previous mistake, not moving an inch, not getting aggressive
until he feels that he has enough info to work with. So fly though to the one, but
Wakadia comes in from behind, and that is the flawless punch, three in a row, four
a rora one more required to take the map here. Meanwhile, their opponents need three in a row of their own. And that is a real tall task. As I say, we've had four over times. That's the first time it's happened. Surely, surely now not possible. In the position that we're in.
to see, but that was kind of
flank upon flank in that two
versus two. They were all
isolated around each other, but
so fly. It's a bold move to
stick up around into was boiler
and it pays off. The first is
there slows down the second
allows McCartney to push down
banana. So one round. Quiet
from the next three started
a little funky, but
thankfully recovered. Nice
Let's see.
Back pause it seems before we get underway.
As Marge is having a little talk.
So close to that finish line. Round number 46
gets underway.
What a mental map number one here of Inferno.
Remember it's been a hot minute since we did our pre-show.
This is the picker legacy overpass coming on negative only got a couple of reps on it
It's not exactly a well-versed map in the pool for them
We painted the picture that legacy need to win inferno to have a chance
It's not looking good right now
Double or back in play for our but he spotted miss shots. That's in what this is
That's in relatively consistent on that off to be fair to is actually on the CT side of things
watch it
Contacting in on the T side, right? Why not?
Through the smoke. I like this somewhat clever. It's been happening a lot in the OT though
Yeah, been taking these CT fights. So do my was ready. Just cannot win it. Oh
Awesome trouble here. He's about to get split for people from two different locations
He's got an orbit of the worst thing possible here where he actually needs to multi-frag
This is a spot where he'd love a rifle
Having an orb is too easy to isolate and even a bit of utility is gonna make his life difficult
Gonna hit one four back and set himself up all lined them up. Let's see. There's the first. Nice fine
Break open the smoke as well as he looks for more behind it spot the smoke will replenish and now he can't really deny
Woxic will get that bomb down. Nothing I can do goes up on high and he looks for something
But it'll be at the cost of his life as Woxic sees him off
There's so much damage dealt towards the HP of Aurora here, but they've got the numbers and Rokadia making sure they double them down
It's all on sides in the open a one versus three, but surely they are knocking on death's door now made over
That'll soften them up. They're both so low, but he opts for a better gun and finally after I'm pretty sure the longest map
We've had here so far a pro league
It's Aurora who take legacies my pick on inferno almost two times the amount of counter strike required for that one
Absolutely wild. I mean definitely what we're here for right. We've got to have at least one
Super long game here on the B stream for now and I but yeah, just a wild wild showing
I think both teams can be ultimately happy ultimately disappointed the big thing the big difference
We might see it here on the replays as well
Yeah, is that legacy after time? Where's the Bob what's going on one in confusion?
Why are we not going in and they didn't win around yeah after that it's one did some really really
Yeah, they really did. And I think that chaotic kind of style, you have to be careful if you can't refine it going into the OT, if you can't understand yourself.
See what happens if you get very messy in Aurora, eventually just able to keep themselves together at that tail end for the 25, 21 on map number one.
But of course we have potentially two more coming up. Overpass coming next. We'll see in a few.
I
The major was incredible, we were really proud. My boys stepped up with a little help from some new tech.
We all know that Xantharys used to be an online. For years we tried to bring the land of Yoranmo in his bedroom.
Fake crown sounds like thrush door, different table. And then one day it came.
Why don't we bring his bedroom to learn?
The Wigardia is so one man army right now!
Do you think that other ulcs will use your methods?
Yeah, they all of you are.
Big up early in Searsons set up just outside.
So you're not mixing your alcohol?
You can drink it, I don't know.
10 hours.
It's not a problem.
What am I doing?
Choose a job, choose a career, choose the fucking big house.
Choose academy players.
Next I'd like to refer to the article 4C.
The APL catering menu from Saturday 4th of October,
which reads as follows
German sauerkraut
British with boiled potatoes
or Turkish doner kebab with crispy caramelized lamb slices
served with a delicious garlic and cocktail sauce
fresh vegetables wrapped in a crisp handmade brunette
Gentlemen of the jury, would you be surprised if I told you
Mr. Burchel opted for the British brunette?
Jesus!
Gils here!
Chills Auntie, let me flush you out first
then you headshot
The British boiled potatoes with minus seasoning over our sacred kebab.
Finally, I present Article 5A, the racist manifesto, published on Mr. Berkshire's Twitter account.
Fisher's Playground 2 team lineup has aged really well. Sure, no vitality, spirit or mouse,
but I'm keen to see the Mongols back in action.
Uriera looking like an early call for a major dark horse.
FaZe, shown a bit of life since the Jacob edition, and of course, Falcon's unrealized potential.
Gentlemen of the jury, in a tweet about exciting teams, not only did this man not even mention Aurora, he mentioned FaZe and Miles.
Races?
I know what I've done is wrong.
Not mentioning Aurora after I mentioned Mouse, it's an oversight.
After all, given your talent, your potential, your absolute gift for shitting the bed,
I'm gonna call you Turkish Mouse!
You too!
You're ultimous to Berkshire, you sentenced to mass modification, 170 DMs and 70 long quotes.
Take him away!
You're oralous! You're absolutely oralous!
You're a joint! You're Turkish now!
You're bloody unsokers!
Kill them all!
Bring in the next racist.
Now you got some explaining to do.
Bread...
...Splayer.
What have you done to my god damn aim?
It's talk shit Chad, we're telling you the truth.
He did fell in love with the game straight away.
He always loved what's in replay as well.
That's when he got obsessed with the game.
To come back here and tell these cheating fucks they may take our reload, but they'll
never take our freedom.
I'm casting the other game on the A stream and then I flick over to the B stream game
I was thinking about the veto. I was like, okay, Rory versus Vitality.
Okay, so we've seen Vitality float ancient before.
They did it against these guys in a grand final.
They've probably floated again, forced Magid to ban it out.
And then you were like, now fuck it.
They're like, let's play ancient.
Yeah, we play it, to be honest.
Like it's been like maybe two weeks we're playing sometimes.
Yeah, we try to do like what we can do on the map.
And it was a good test yesterday.
It was a good test against...
Lots of rounds.
Lots of rounds.
And to be honest, we enjoyed them up, but we also know that, like, Fulia, I think a lot of teams already have a lot of, uh, I used to play Ancien, and we...
For years.
For years, so, yeah, but it was, uh...
It was a pleasure.
We had all players played Ancien, like, before, so, I mean, yeah, for us it's easier because you guys didn't play it.
Like, you played, I think you played with Navi at the very start.
Yeah, against Navi also, we did the same.
Na'Vi didn't ban and we played Na'Vi ESL probably when we lost the final in ESL, probably at Malta.
I remember we were...
First time, you guys didn't ban Ancient, and we didn't pick it first time.
Then second time, okay, these motherfuckers didn't ban it.
And you banned Ancient.
Every tomorrow we play Ossia, so...
It was Malta, you guys banned Ancient, and I'm like...
Why they banned Ancient?
They were in such a mood to play Ancient, bro.
In two days, are you in the mood to play?
Well, I mean, I don't know if we're in the mood to play a movie, so...
You just said they don't have a map role, so...
Yeah, well, at this point we're gonna play anything, bro.
The Big Bang Vertical, we're gonna play a movie, bro.
Oh, dude, but that was such a long game, actually.
Yeah.
You guys played Zyward Drop, like, 50-something kills, crazy rounds, I'm watching them
back on all the highlights.
Does it feel...
I mean, when you're playing it, because it's a seeding match, right, is it
It's just more fun to play a game like that, it feels less stress or you're still stressed out in the moment.
I gel always stressed out.
I will let him talk a little.
The game started with less pressure.
Also like as you said, it's not like a do or die game, but it's like of course a qualification game for like quarter or semi.
So it's important for us.
But when he started to just pop to the heads, like killing three, killing four, holding him, punishing me, and stuff, I just started...
Something is happening now in the game and I cannot catch it, you know?
And he just left and right, left and right, and he's just punishing either my players, either me.
So I said like, I need to do something, I'm doing something, I'm dying again.
again. Like I couldn't even feel anything in an ancient and it's it was too long game
and I was like it started it's ended very long but I felt like it's so quick and only
we instantly I don't know I don't know how to explain this game was like the ancient
map was the my first time that I felt he's like pressing above my head you know like
with his leg this is this was the first time on my career really yes I never
Felt a game like this. Yes, you got to destroy everyone. Yes, that's what I wanted to hear
This discounted prime nap block no grand slam price tag on this one in your grandma low quasius 21 points
He's playing sight from the start of the round, but then they could play more aggressive, get
one dig, or if the T's rush connector, you get caught out by the pace and you die, then
you're like, why are you playing so close up against pistols?
So it really is a matter of balance, but then also dunk is the punisher simply, and
you're given an inch very often, he takes a gallon or whatever it is.
That's how the saying goes, you know?
Yeah.
So you can actually go gallon.
An ounce or all those weird a stone all these measure. Yeah stone. I don't know why
We don't make much sense. How much do you weigh three stones? Yeah, but it's not the universal though the stone
There is isn't there? I think isn't there a stone somewhere that is the stone
That's the stone. Where is it? Is it like in a museum somewhere? I actually have no idea
But the other I know that the a stone was is a unit of measurement. It's like a x amount of pounds
Well, hopefully they kept it out of the rain. Otherwise it'd be a little lighter today. Yeah, true
throughout the accountable a little bit of a geological job there for you very
nice not enough people have brought that but the geologist in the jazz he's
scared I just lost a lot of respect for the info for all this conversation he
just typed into Google where is the stone I hope that I would happen because
Freaking awful on Google!
As far as the stone!
That did not work as...
Yeah, shocking. What? What was the answer?
Whatever is the stone? What did Google ask the question?
Any other search engine of your choice?
Any other, sir? There's plenty of them out there.
Yeah, you who?
Jeeves is still around?
Jeeves, can I ask him a question?
I'm not finding a place where the stone lives, to be honest.
Lives?
Well, they got me in habits of space.
Yup.
the living stone right here at long as Masuda hides in behind it.
Do not get away that easy.
That's a good start.
It's a great start. Why don't we use that stone?
That's more of a rock.
You're not a pet rock.
Yanko, you're not a pet rock.
Hi. If I was making a list of members of talent.
Welcome back, we are shaping up for the second map here after a much needed break on that
first one to be honest it was so so long quadruple.
Hey guys, production here.
It seems like you still have the Eliege camera on, can you turn it off?
a leash camera filter yeah dangerous dangerous thing um we'll have to try and do something about
that i suppose but i think it's our effort to get here maybe this guy can help us potential
beautiful we'll have to see it maybe better move around a little maybe because oh there we go right
back to it got a bit of fps back on this side i leave you to learn our lesson one good flash
brand honestly i'm still so perplexed where did he get that camera from it's like three pixels
per minute. It's a mental either way. I feel like we just have like universally sorted webcams by now,
you know, with the streamer marketing and stuff. Yeah, once in a while, we just see a crazy one.
I feel like the closest here is Madge has got a bit of a wild camera going on that the FOV and
the quality of is a bit dodgy. The legacy boys are looking good. Yeah, it's a good fair.
proper cams on uh for theirs yeah proper decent quality but you know like like you're building up
you know we're going into now this overpass and it's a really interesting map it just feels like
such a natural punish pick for Aurora for for legacy they've only played this map twice and
it doesn't paint a pretty picture at all and we were out for a for Aurora on paper it just looks
like such a decent pick for them now to be fair for legacy they have played this map once at
at the tournament already in stage one. They did beat NIP on it. However, we've also learned
we don't take anything from that. They didn't qualify, so we don't care, right? They lost
in that sense. And then balled it back in. Crack-out. They lost to BC Game, which again
is probably not the greatest thing in the world. BC Game are very kind of mere in their
own regard. For Aurora on the flip side, there's some decent teams at Scalp's on
the side, taking out Astralis. Now, that was still Astralis in the infancy stages
of this lineup, I will say.
Still one of their favorite maps.
Still one of their favorite maps. Exactly. So that's a really decent pickup. They
not a bad team to take down as well. Pain, granted they looked a little rough around the edges, but
Ho Chi is a pretty notable one. They were kind of storming up the gates at the start of this year
and then even that loss to Vitality most recently, getting double digits in the side of Vitality's
kind of caliber for anybody is kind of pretty solid. So the picture of painting is that we
sort of felt in this Fido that Inferno was a necessity for legacy and the fact that they
they have lost it worries me.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, in such a fashion, we noticed it
into the fourth bout of overtime,
just on the verge of losing my mind,
so the numbers start blurring together.
So correct me if I'm wrong.
It was a 39 and OT.
Yeah, that's crazy.
That is crazy.
It nearly is though.
If it went to five, you're looking at 24, 24 for it
to be even with a regulation score line,
It's like, yeah, 12 12 12 like
doubling is the word I'm
looking for, but yeah,
Ultimately. I think we saw the
very tail end, they just
completely checked out. Um, it's
it's pretty tough. So yeah,
little difficult in this vein
to say our legacy can be able
to bounce back. Are they
Um, mentally strong enough
right? It's a tough one to
say the least. I think it's
bottom. I think it's bottom.
They can mentally check out a little bit like that is such a tilting loss
They have two separate map points there as well. They squandered both of them one of them
As well was the really egregious one way to get up the bomb and allows what sick until one versus two keeping them afloat
So it is one of these situations where we're at the moment where for legacy
It's kind of that question of do they actually have enough in the locket take down Aurora even Aurora aren't playing at a hundred percent
I think it's going to be enough
for them right it's still a kind of a slightly new look side in terms of probably the systems they're playing under art now I
Don't know if it's going to be enough. I will say though
Corridor is due after our individual play that she quite well into this map
I think you look quite sharp. He's relentless in terms of his aggression. He loves a fight
We know that and in doing so it's quite a fun leader to follow
But the depth isn't always there maybe especially on those CT sides at that tail end
which is where we actually saw Aurora kind of pull away on their their tea side. They're able to find a lot of gaps to expose
Just one of those things you look towards though
Maybe as it goes on art I think can take some resources for himself
So maybe we keep an eye on that as he getting kills because he's a little greedier and asking for more utility flashers
Etc in his favor, but still only enough in the the legacy lifecycle for art that we
Have to wait and see and get deeper into the demos and whatnot when a tournament like this concludes
We are waiting a little to get in. I'm seeing there's not actually everybody in the server at least on our side
It seems to be from a rora can I wait for them to get in before we can kind of get this show on the road
So a little bit delayed
But I think they're probably taking as much of that break as they possibly can to be honest to reset themselves a little bit
Heading in towards this while we're going there is actually another game on the a stream as well
that spirit three max one is just somehow also only just heading in towards their second back. Yeah,
maybe a three mapper to kick start the day after. Yeah, although everyone's gonna be scheduled on
the same time, it could have pushed them back actually. Yeah, I think they probably started
a little bit after us is my assumption. Let's have a look. That started 140. Oh,
they thought even it's later than us. Okay, it's the starting time. That makes a lot of
sense there, but, um, they've
caught up to us. Yes, exactly.
Thanks to the quadruple over
time. I'll always help. Actually
ahead of us now. Yeah, because
they're into that second map
and rounds. Probably going to
be a two zero. The fact that
the spirit took Nuke. I feel
like that should all but sure
things up. I see him anyway.
Who knows? Max. We're not
I mean, there may be for me one
of these teams coming into this
year that have obviously had some
problems alongside maybe like a
legacy to be fair, where they are
one of these teams that can be a bit annoying to play against
don't quite have the star power
to be the best teams in the world
at least on a consistent basis
and I don't want to overuse
the phrase before, you know even six months into the year
but figured out seems to be
floating around for a couple of these teams
really max is one of them for sure
I think you're absolutely right
as well. It looks like from what
I can see most players are in
the server now. So this show
should be getting underway in
just a second. This is only the
second game of today, despite
it being already a bit of a
marathon of a day with that
first map. Yeah, I agree by a
team like spirit. Um I think
if you can make things
competitive here in stage two,
given the fact that they've
also just replaced the player.
Think 3D Max would be happy
with that. I don't see them
map is a real world week actually
potentials that have been going
towards a third which is kind of
the crazy thing. This could be
one of the longest series that we
do for sort of a hot minute. If
we do end up pushing our way
towards a third map that is dust
to as the decided here, but
generally speaking with a role
I've taken legacy smart pick and
this on paper feeling like a
punish all signs point to a
role of being able to take this
into still a long two by every
kind of metric, but he runs
I've been on later today as well. I was looking through that G2 phase, decent amount of history there as well.
Furia bait can be spicy kind of because it could be quite chaotic in its own regard.
Miles Heroic as well. That Heroic side continued to sort of punch you up.
They've just come off the back of a win against Paravision.
Who knows how they'll look against Miles.
Miles are a completely different beast.
But enough of that. On the way into map number two, we'll get this show finally started here.
It is over past the pick of Aurora as they're on that T side. They are diving in towards me.
Lato will get one before he hits the deck.
So, Fly leading the charge here to move in towards the A bomb site.
There will be very speedy rotations coming up top.
Sowing them down here.
So, Fly going through.
Yeah, he's flown through the smoke,
completely catching them off guard.
However, there is our inside said smoke.
So, what is going on here?
gone down and it's still three on three are getting another on the way out. All of a sudden
the round opens up a kill on the cards. You can't find it. It's all going to be on to
sulphur. He's got a ace up to win this round and it's not going to happen. Legacy with
a keen kickoff. Yeah, really, really nice work. I think from where we're at as well.
Honestly, I think it gives them a nice little runway to start with now
You're in a position where all it's got two nice kills. You've recovered a site quite well and actually an
Immediate kind of opening into right Aurora one to hit us with pace in this T side
You've got to get this CT side really showed up as well
This is a map that and especially as we've seen recently we casted the game yesterday where
Fanatic vs. Ents, and it was 11-1
one on the CT half event and then thrown back to an 11-1 taking stores and over time.
This is without a doubt one of the most CT side of map, no, it's not diving, one of,
is the most CT side of map we've got in the pool right now and that's something that
legacy needs to look on, so it needs to be taken a real kind of bolster of a lead
before heading in towards that second half. I'm sure it's slightly different at the
that's a one level is not as C. T. T. It's still pretty heftily left that way. Yeah,
100% that's in taps away, but they say they're looking still alive or Lato winded up. He's
backed up. The trades are good here from Aurora. I will give them brief control of
this a bomb site. It's going to be some rotations coming back around and they like
some use of the shore, but the smoke in the right place aren't going to be kept at bay.
Stumau on that flank that we maybe keep our eyes on. Will he find success? I've got two
players making their way over towards him. Zuntares to win it out and a big, big force
by on the cards. Here and saving.
Question mark. Yeah. Oh, it's out of it.
Looks like it. The MP9 sticking around to try and make some money, but it will be
the round going the way of Aurora.
Yeah, oh, that's a tough call to make because you know, you've dealt damage to us on Torres as well
So kind of part of you wants to stick around and have a little look the MP9 will dive in late
It's all really gonna be four noughts as well for this him
He actually might be dead
Never mind I thought he was playing all the way in that corner. He could I think he realized he's sort of dead regardless
You might see his commit towards the fight, but nice recovery
And it shows how important that bomb was in the previous round. The pistol actually was
just giving them the glills to work with. A really important fight won by Zantara. If
he loses that, I hit the round all, but lost there. Legacy got a second. A nice way to
respond. It forces Legacy into an awful kind of investment situation where, no surprises,
they have to force themselves. They're in double eco scenario. They have to go
for a buyback in, but they're not bringing lots to the table. MP7 facades in around
I saved them for
I was just against look at this for art though. They saved them for star things. Well
All art. He's relentless. You can't even for a second fall asleep. Yeah, he's inevitable is what he is. I think
absolutely
textbook aggression coming in
Success found and could be a really really big deal here
Slide of doom it would seem I
I swear we saw yesterday the same thing like two or three players stacked up on that slide for some reason
Oh, do my left on one HP lucky to be alive
And to make it certainly on the cards here thinking about where we want these needs to go. Oh barrels make me nice
That one's very nice. Perfect. Yeah, he's got the info. I mean they went patiently around like I
Knew where he was. I know where he's probably path to I
I just need not quite finding the same kind of success
Not really a lineup just sort of yeeting it in and hoping
For some damage. I'm gonna pivot towards a hit
Lato is the only line of defense but finds one with a good timing peak and should be able to buy time for some rotations
It's gonna get messy though as he goes down on plant secured
Not confirmed though not confirmed. I don't guarantee the plot. They tap and look to fight and that actually might deny it
Last one, I might have played it off one high, he's going to get flanked, doesn't matter whether it was from the site itself or Banana.
There will be legacy who respond, we've actually a pretty triumphant force by a backhand response, especially considering the guns that they brought to the table there.
Two M4s?
One, one M4, saved by art and it was an MP7 and it was just upgraded pistols. That was all they had and they make it stick.
Obviously it starts so well with this swing coming through from R, the double found in towards the slide.
They're boosting up to look in towards myth into a front bar for him
In the end only a couple of casualties considering what they brought to the table. That's really really nice
Thank you
Opportunity by by Aurora there don't be kicking themselves
And then they have to force of course in response and assembly fan. They can't really bring loads
I could have been really nice to them to have control of this
T side
Slow roll here as they'll get the connector control, but can't do too much with it.
Don't want to venture in towards short.
Why is connector so clear?
I think it's the question that they've got, Lato, meanwhile, with the ADK, oh, are they
going to make the move on the other side of this smoke?
He's trying to play anti.
Does a great job.
Does get traded out.
His flashes as well from the teammate.
Oh, it's Woxic at range looking really, really sharp.
Umau from behind's got good timing here,
could certainly take a couple of names.
However, Steffin, he's not gonna be heard.
Figured he might have been heard ever so slightly.
It's not gonna be the case he catches two.
And now just Santares,
who surely is not ready for a second man at Conn.
Has to be dead here.
Has to be over for him, surely.
Maybe a plan.
That's the best I think he can hope for.
You can quickly find the player into a transformer, and yeah, a plant-back site is possible, but
even then, the chance of him going for a plant-back site feels very unlikely.
The big thing is, where is his third player?
That's what he's sort of wondering.
He knows where two of them are.
This one, dead to right.
He knows he's a player flanking him, but where is the third?
He goes, actually, for the perfect part for this scenario.
He put himself in the 1v2.
Oh, and he finds the head of Dumau.
Surely not.
shoulders of missing who just about secures that round. Oh, it's a great effort by Zantara's
in in your mind with somewhat of his caliber. You kind of a feeling that he might have it
in the locker, but listen, cool karma collected just making sure that the trade was efficient.
Keeping that round in legacy's favor. What a machine as always just not quite enough.
time out here. It will be the
first. Aurora, of course. Yeah,
early time out on the T side.
Definitely going to be fans of
this. It's a. Question of what
they are able to do to close
The question of what they are able to do to close the scout, they're buying again, hmmm.
So the econ is kind of their worst enemy at the moment.
Yeah.
They put themselves in a kind of a quite consistent factor where it's having to go through these
quite janky force buyers in certain ways and yeah, tough to see.
The back of the conversation, who's the call to arms, 1 AK-1 Galil, double mach 10 and
the tech 9.
It all comes with the back of that bomb plant.
I've got the bomb plant that I wouldn't be forcing here, but in their mind, I've made
it so close there, so I'm going to double it down.
I don't love that idea though, because again, you lose here, especially any of these
that you don't get a bomb plant in, you know, really awkward financial spot.
I think you're saving it. Yeah,
for sure. Wild game occurring
before our very eyes, though.
This is reminiscent of. Early
Covid era counter strike to
your next force by is being so
effective the back and forth
for the first time in a while.
game occurring before our very eyes though. This is reminiscent of that early
Covid era counter strike to be honest. Just the force by is being so effective.
The back and forth, the force by after force by. Still have the Kreeg doing its
thing I believe. Long time ago now. The job that we forget about the Kreeg actually throwback.
I was actually using the Kreeg way before it was made. Oh yeah. The Kreeg in the
York they were I've got clips from like 2016 of me using them the cod gun yeah yeah
makes it a little bit easier I know a guy I believe Hawker back in his day he
also used to be a fiend on the scouts yeah it's so good they used to be so
pleased but I will say the creek at its peak was absolutely busted very glad
that it stopped the org is still absolutely viable though I will say the
org I mean it's a little bit more expensive than the others so like
There's no need to buy it, but like it's not to the same level of kind of like not viable any more the way the
Kreeg is so slow now that it's not really
Useful, but the org especially on scope that that's break controllers. It's pretty simple
Yeah, I think a lot of the basics as we saw with when that matter came in is just down to the cost
3.3 now I haven't used the organ ages. I think it's like 3.3
Yeah, which is a big gap now considering both M4s at 29. Yeah exactly like it's pretty big gap
So that's for pro players. A lot of what it comes down to is just yeah
And there's nothing anymore that makes it worse spending the extra, you know
400 or whatever it is but but then in the difference between the two
One day though, who knows maybe valve try and bring it back
Create their car. It was very bad. Yeah, it was bad time
Look at this. Oh, by the way back to the round their hand is
the way the game is. He's
moving around there. We could
line up a couple of the opposite
the easy one finds walks. It
still in the back lines, but
all about recovering this bomb
or Samsung gets another magic
just running around no man's
line gets caught. They
confused as to where he was.
They must have been confused
to his location. It's also
here by the way. So yeah,
really going to be tough to
easy. I don't know. Austin. Yeah. So while they will recover the
bomb, Katie is also in very, very deep here. Maybe not going to
be expected, but do now to thread the needle. Just an insane
round to say the least. We can't you find himself all alone
one versus three overall, put it down to two. It's a little
plan for him to work with. Let's see if he can make
something happen here. He's got info maybe on one guy
coming from Long Slash Bathrooms. It's just that second man. He doesn't quite know. He's
cleared out all this back end though. Should have decent information now. They have no
idea where he's at. Gets that first. Oh, three, four HP Molotov coming in. It's going
to be tough though. There's not enough time without a kit, to be honest. And we're
Katie are playing it very well, just drawing him in, giving him the old ring around the
rosy. And there's going to be no time to get that defuse. So given up and the
We'll make it out and this in my life. You know, he does so much damage. I think I think just about get away
I don't know you. Okay. I hear it. I hear it. It's like, yeah, 30
31 points of HP
I suck around for the fight. But yeah
You know, all that's been dropped over. So there we go
Crazy well played from a cadet. Yeah, he's so clutch. He's so composed situations like that
He's also so fortunate to get out alive from bank
I think. I have an aid in his
back pocket, which he was
waiting and holding on to.
That's the kind of round that
Aurora needs. It's one that you
can definitely build upon.
It's again making this a one
round game.
This goes off the same kind
of feeling that map number one
did. Quite back and forth,
quite even in a sense.
one of those marathons.
It is very possible. I mean, the the start of this game definitely speaking to
that again, though, we're going to be asking questions around the resilience of
these two teams, particularly of that legacy. We saw them crumble and series
getting harder and harder, more and more stressful.
I pause here as you can tell by the elongated break
Watching nothing we can really do about that
Yeah, he could have lined up a couple there honestly, but he does a job
Regardless, this is a tail end
They lose track and the fact that they've recovered that round as a whole
Is kind of wild. They probably really had no right to really recover that round in any
kind of fathom situation gets one, they lose him, drops the bomb, he gets another. They still haven't really kind of
got a hold on him as R comes into support and also gets a kill of his own.
Quite a two wakadia, but they never should be walking away with that round. That is
kind of spoken about this a couple of fumble situations for legacy and that is a fumbled one.
It is true.
Yeah, no, I was going to say it just continues as you watch that replay again continues to be crazy.
that. They're able to convert
that round. Given how it started,
given how it was like what the
heck is magic doing? You know
why they didn't sort prioritise
getting the bomb back.
That was a pretty extended one.
I'm wondering who because everyone
sort of stayed in the server.
This can't be a nature calling.
We can't be giving you a
should have gone in the break. Yeah, exactly. That's what that's what the teacher says, you
know, you should have gone in the break in the recess. That's it. Can't be can't be
given you that if you go to the toilet when your friend gets back. That's it. Yeah, you
both can't go. Yeah, we can't trust you. Well, it's fair enough from the teachers.
know. A thousand yards stay here though this time for him. No, yeah, he's thankfully not
considering his life choices. Smiles on the faces, little happier. It's time around.
Oh, he's stuck in this one at the moment. I wonder where they're boot camping. Maxi,
Is that a Swedish brand?
Baby?
I think it is.
Oh sure.
It looks like an Airbnb there, right?
More than anything.
Yeah, that's true.
I love this kind of like makeshift cables display.
They've kind of got a few lights maybe or something.
Yeah, yeah.
A couple of fans, yeah.
It's nice.
I feel like Maxi is Swedish.
Oh, it's just showing me...anywhere in the world.
Very different from what we're looking for.
Quebec?
I thought in Canada that's for sure.
I don't know to answer your question then.
It could be anywhere.
Maybe it's just a name that gets employed.
Hey, Maxi Jotts in Sweden.
It's not helping me at all.
It's definitely not on a yacht.
I don't think.
It's not helping me at all.
So yeah, we are still in.
Yeah, where are they?
Nobody knows.
I think it's Swedish.
I feel like I've seen it when we've been out in Sweden.
I mean, we've kind of been to...
I feel like Sweden might be quite an expensive boot camp spot to be fair.
True.
To get everyone there.
But then, that's where the event is.
So maybe...
Don't think they're too far.
Yeah, what?
What are they?
That was quite dumb.
You're messing with me.
But you can.
Yeah.
He's a re-bender.
Do you want to see?
Oh my god man, I'm gonna kill you.
French wine is good also, but if you drink vodka, bro, it's another level.
You see, I will talk.
Who knows, we'll have to figure it out, but I look awesomely at Alzheimer's so it's time
to get rid of our incessant rambling and we can get kind of the show back on the road.
It is a tie game at three apiece and finally that tech pause is concluded.
Open at MP9, that's the best of the buys.
Before the CT side, but the MP9 dives in for one where Katie gets a team kill to
make matters a little dicey.
They still got the site. This is kind of chaotic. They're all grouped up upon each other.
The pistol pulled out of a thing, but Magier gets a shot of his own.
And then he gets dropped. This is carnage, but it's looking good for the CT side.
And Xantar has got it all to do. He's spotting the site.
Sharp reaction, but a flank was brewing.
It's a nice call to go quick there, Aurora, but it works against them.
Yeah. Well, I mean, the problem is they got into the site.
They had some nice initial frags, and then they froze, as we like to say,
which is kind of just a stop in the scaling really and that's when they got
overwhelmed. That's when they got surrounded. I think my Mac 10 needed to keep flying in to be honest with you.
They need to take more space and like deeply in towards the site.
They didn't and now we swing back so the lower by rounds are finding more and more
success in this game. It would seem you'd have just the carnage and the chaos really working out for them.
There's no consistency in this game at all at the moment.
Trading around though generally is not a bad position to be with if you're a raw on the
C side.
Yeah, like we've been kind of discussing this map being so CT sided that trading around
back and forth is not a horrible thing to have a freebie for Zantara, who's jump peeking
with utl in his hand gets caught for nothing and they can now group up back towards this
top side. There's a couple of bodies here to meet them, one of which being sadson in the
orb.
should be able to stop the old forced by wars now.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And, you know, for them, that's a nice round to turn in your favor
in the way that you turn it in your favor,
because you lose the opening kill for nothing.
You don't gain anything from it.
And then you've kind of flipped it back in their face
with a nice shot down towards the top side.
Making sure it's only the one cashing.
We'd love to see that.
It's worked quite hard there.
The sport ladder to run out of ammo.
Like you mentioned, yeah,
the forced by wars are finally concluded.
So this fifth should turn into a sick, pretty easily for a legacy.
I'll give them a decent amount of breathing room to work with.
Oxic holding for a jump peek across.
He's got the right idea, but Art's going for the slightly safer option via bridge.
Quiet here once again on the Aurora side.
are trying to get away with the absolute murder,
Maja, even with a P250 there, I think, you know,
made that work, but the Glock lets him down.
Deagles now is all they have to speak of.
They should be able to clean up from here
on the legacy side of things and a really, really good
kitty being built up, a couple of clean rounds,
got them some good cash.
all this one here would be a massive help so keep it that way that would be
brilliant on the flip side they really want to get a bomb plant however with
some tires going down like that I think it'd be a little impossible boxy get
to boost up just a wild sort of spam away maybe they saw the top of his head as
he was jumping up one more then yeah this flawless could be a really big
deal for the CT side they do indeed that's nice work it really is
Unfortunately, there's just nothing that could get going for Aurora.
Only a couple of Divas they have to work with, but they could just never make anything of it.
And on out, in a spot where you've got a real comfort in your lead,
and finally a bit of comfort in this first half too, and there's still question marks about Aurora.
This is their map pick, but we're not seeing the strongest of Counter Strike being thrown up.
Them six to three, as they come back in towards the bite, you lose this one here, Aurora.
You actually start to get in quite a bit of trouble.
That sure CT side is...
...you're immaculate.
A long old road to recovery.
Do my old clothes, flash over, we'll catch him and
we'll Xantara's, we'll see him into an early grave.
Nice work, he's met with a neighbour.
Doesn't do as much damage as initially expected.
We'll KDA trying to jiggle peek here.
No stairs but won't.
I'll go this way down.
He'll loot his head as well as Magya was holding for exactly that.
you. Yeah, I mean, this is
kind of where those are the
moments you got to watch for
our right already a man down
just walking into unknown
territory, not even like
cleanly peaking and slowly
clearing angles, etc. That's
where he gets a lot of
criticism, so going to cost
him into this round for sure.
Very position for Aurora now
five three. They have to be
Easy finish we'll see it seems like they want to head towards be and I just have a slightly better defense right now
Yeah
Flash
So try and slow down if it was
Agro monster control miss him who had got one he then gets flashed into another fighting spots
There's nobody monster, but that's actually a miss calm in a sense is you're gonna keep I slightly train on it
It's creep move forward here, but so far I just couldn't punish.
The idea's kind of nice, but he couldn't make use of it.
Time sticking 50 seconds and the barreling in towards B.
In they come, the first found by Elato,
Arcadia in for the trade.
And Mollio keeps Satsun at bay for now,
and they're looking to try and buy space to squeeze
out a pop, which they will get.
Oh, it's close.
Trying to tag through the box,
but Khan and Satsun being their own quantity that he is.
Despite having money, he might just look to save it.
Right, so the call is we're going to go short,
we're going to throw utility B, then we're going to go up Conn,
then some guy is going to try and get a timing monster,
then we're going to go back down Conn and actually go B
and nearly lose a round.
But also, with KD, you're going to get two unlikely kills
and that's how we'll win.
That's a pretty good strategy, hasn't it?
Seems pretty full, but...
Some might argue that's a little convoluted.
Yeah, maybe, yeah, yeah, potentially.
A lot of things got to go right,
and if anything goes wrong, the whole plan falls apart.
Yeah, of course, yeah.
See, look, we're KDA, got two really dangerous kills,
but I don't know what Aurora's thinking was,
because that's exactly what they did.
They sailed short, and then they were like,
okay, it's fake, we're going up.
And then this guy made it out monster,
and he was like no guys look I've got so much space come back and then he died and then they were like
I guess we've got to go be now we don't really have time it definitely that was wild that was wild
the calling there is like uber loose right uber loose mid rounding and just sort of on the fly like
there's no set strap no set finish but sometimes they're good to kind of throw in but that one
felt really janky it easily could have fallen apart however it is a fourth round on the t-side
Which, 4 hours later, is not a bad showing for Overpass.
Another map that might be seen as kind of like the bare minimum you need to make it competitive,
but on Overpass, it's actually seen as relatively strong.
You can get fine as well.
You'd be very happy with that.
Most occasions, Nism is a lucky, lucky man to still be alive.
15 points of HP as he soaks up 2 HEs,
and they start to progress now in towards the B side,
they're in towards Monster and Shaw, with a quick shot from Oz, up close with the Orb.
Combat style he's playing around the smoke as well. He wants more fights
We know this guy backs himself and what's it looking for the party?
Just can't find where the actual site is. Oh my god. He's so lucky
So much damage done across the board here to be honest with you
They're gonna wait for these smokes to dissipate are gonna get caught now doesn't quite know what's going on
However, the bomb hits the deck pretty quickly
Can they get this plant in here? It's going to be dangerous as a key fight happening over in short meanwhile
They break open the smoke somehow and do my works around it brilliant finds from legacy again
Unlikely again chaotic at this time. It is they who stand strong. Yeah, that is honestly pretty impressive fifth like
For the likes of legacy getting a retake in a three versus three that's flawless like that and especially actually clearing the short play more than anything
impressive work
And no one quantsy until it's connected that entire time as well.
Honestly, he could have got a second, but Dumau's fucking low.
Two massively important killers and like I said, that kill from him.
You're also the one who is sending you to Lover to send Dumau in towards the fight.
Seven to four.
And eight four feels like a handshake.
Seven to five feels like a slight advantage to Aurora.
because of how this map leans.
Fanner aren't important, unfortunately,
it's a rural run low on the finances.
So triple Mach 10, AK and a Galil
and somewhat limited utility for the seaside.
All signs pointing to an eighth four legacy.
I assume a lot of these low buyer rounds
have been doing quite well on this map.
over the line ups. Set nicely.
Flash is now coming in. It's going to be a immediate smoking from barrels. Are the flushers good so far getting in there able to get one, but he creates so much space. They've broken into the site really, really well.
One for four on the trade simulator, and it's just going to be down to sad Zen. Of course he has to give it a look with it being that final round that this feels absolutely unwinnable. Yeah, surely.
Do any of them jump up because they could do some of the damage made of Molly combo force on a fight
It forces walk sick to find him seven to five
I actually think Aurora will be relatively happy that five round sees that is not a terrible showing
But we'll have to see second half out to come up in a second to see whether there is any life
Left in legacy we'll find out
Oh
Locked you back, locked you back
Locked you back, locked you back
All right, so 7-5 at the half. It's ever so slightly in favor of legacy
But as we were kind of building up RV and we said at the tail end five rounds T side
It's actually not a terrible showing on this map
It may seem on paper like it is but we have seen
drastically kind of poor T side to be recovered I eat us last night in 11 to 11 to one return
So it's one of those where on it, you know
you're going to be all right.
Figuring out the angles got to
make sure you have iconic angles
man. You set up your player cam
or your screen cam. Maybe a bit
of a weight here as those types
of things get in the way of game
starts for sure. But yeah, I am
in full agreement. I think this
could be a real resurgent from
Aurora if they can find a good
CT side.
They're not picking at the moment. You know, we're begging a few questions. It doesn't feel super
Directest super one-sided especially considering on the other side of it legacy haven't played a lot of it. They played one map recently
love
Asterix's coming into this one
But Aurora hopefully now into the second half into the stronger half able to show us
Why they decided to move into this map. Yeah, it's one map and it's a win over an IP if you don't take too much stock in
Yeah, I feel like there's a bit of fair enough. They do it relatively handily. Yeah, that's what I mean, like, but like, I don't care because it's Nip.
That new Nip doesn't really, that Nip, I can't lie, I watched basically all of those games with that extra Spursky, they're tier three.
Like, they're not even, like, they're the only player that's decent on that team at the moment. Nobody else is shining.
I'm not I'm not taking any stock in it as much as you know credit to legacy for the first stage that they had but
Beating an IP means absolutely nothing to me as that's where I'm still kind of concerned
I'm not I'm not discrediting legacy in terms of saying that they're done for him
Just saying I'm not gonna take too much stock in that match because it is an IP. Yeah
Professional in IP hitting fair enough
It's not hate that they would just bar they there were one of the worst teams at this pro league
Like it's not even close like statistically though one of the way. Yeah, yeah, like they're um
Honestly like exit Spursky what until the final day
He was the second highest rate of play of this tournament and they were still in the one and two, you know me like
It's uh, it was a bad tournament from them. Like they they really do look
In a position to be included
I mean they continue to have rough showings and they don't have other like smaller tier lands
Qualification for the major could be a little a little tough for them
I was seeing that other teams who are in and around that location, big yesterday, one of
online series, the normal clutch series, five or four, even one of the two, but five, yeah,
they ended up, yeah, it was five, yeah, and they've now put themselves into major contention
off the back of it.
They've got two lans this year and that online win, they are now in major contention,
Um, at least currently look at the predictor. They're in that position and for an IP. I don't know. They could be a bit
weird, but anyway, back to this game at hand. Like we said,
I'm still
Holding reservations for legacy. I think they need a strong starting towards his half on the T side and a pistol here would really help
We lost magic immediately
uh...
no stop not so lucky just as we were about to get back into things so yeah
uh... a little tedious a few tech issues plaguing us
on this
map
at the very least
so if we're not going to be in this one for too long
i mean you know the the two three bracket for nip it's not like
the worst. Yeah, just kind of check it over some results here. The NLGP Gaming got it.
Yeah, I don't take any, I don't take any value in them. I can't lie. We're back in though.
No, no, we are back in this looks to be live. No team killing coming in here to denote that
we're not live. We have utility bought up for this Aurora side of things, some Julees
as well for Wacadia to work with. Interesting. Very, very interesting indeed. It's suddenly
I'm very quiet thought legacy would pick up the pace try and get some mid control banana control, but not the case
It's slowly now moving the way in towards front bathrooms
Asides pretty on demand but at the same time this is not a committal of the bomb on the back of spaz in and
doubling back towards be which
He doesn't know yet, but it's a
Could be a risky call
There's bodies he is and Torres gets one but latter will trade with our p250
And that will draw attention back up towards the top side and away from B
And that's where legacy are progressing. This is the push and pull that we talk about
But as we're cadet spots one they have to now go towards be quickly
They know he's coming down to join the rest of the group. There's one man here to meet them
It's soul fly initially he will get one with the help of woxic and we're cadet dives in with the dualies
But Dumau for two he needs a quad clutch to make a round out of this bomb at his feet
And time ticking now 30 seconds and he didn't even pick up the C4
So a decision still to be made for him 25 on that clock and Madge and Woxic are just playing time
They're toying with their food knowing there's no way he had a plant down towards this B site
He has to dive into fights and isolating ways of feeling possible, but Woxic overlooks it
Madge let's him die for nothing. Another bomb can technically go down, but a loss. It's Madge who sees it off, he recovers the round, but Madge has got to be holding for that potential.
Yeah, that's a dangerous, dangerous shot. Dangerous mishap. Madge has created ultimately, so yeah, I think they need to be a little careful about that in the future, but that's the way it can go in the pistol from time to time.
all the same Aurora gonna take it got very dangerous in the middle do now does
an awful lot to strike fear into their hearts can't quite take it over the line
so even up definitely possible here denial of the bomb plant as well pretty
big deal yeah to say the least it's looking very good for Aurora it's a
shaky round but it's actually important the way they take it
No bomb plant and the fact that they get it
Should allow in
Every situation for them to tie the game up here. Let's see
listen
waiting
The entrance to monster
He's all alone. He's about to get flanked soul fly. I kind of want to knife
Wait, you're gonna check right? He's gonna have a look right guys off right? He's off mate. So
He's off. Oh no. I wonder whether there's going to be any ramifications of him checking.
In a way though, also him flanking might be a miscom that they think the flanks clear here
legacy. We shall see. Okay, he's here flying in towards short. I'm still looking at the
mini map as Soulfly is wrapping him behind here. But Nissen could also get one that's
right himself. He's going to hear the steps away. Woxig delivers two. He's a little
slow here. Uh, the likes of
soft. I actually might miss
opportunity, but another three
be of a kill. This is chaos.
Where has this him come from?
Nobody knows the ghost of
overpass it. And it's all fly.
You eventually sees him. What
you see a minute ago? He'll
get them four out of the round,
though. That's nice little touch
from this into just kind of
drop that make sure that
nobody can recover it. I
don't think they would have
had time to get all the way
down calm and more short again.
So tiny little bit of something
I'm going to have to start popping off on this T side. It's really as simple as that.
He's favoring Aurora, Aurora looking good as they even things up and reset the game.
First rifle round in play.
Control taken early.
Come down magic and breaking and hoping that somebody's pushed their way forward.
retreat from do now he's going to join the group. They are really quickly scaling up along here. I'm actually being held for and now will be double checked. Somebody's going to jump peak.
I have a bad feeling that they didn't actually even spot them. They scaled up all the way towards site. It's three here now ready to meet them.
Molotov not quite good enough, the flash is really solid.
However, the CT positioning is actually pretty advantageous here, to be honest with you.
Waxing, hidden behind Dice, looking for multiple, can't quite get it, it's in Torres.
They will know about him, but he's hard to find, he's hard to touch.
Kady is here in good time, throws a smoke in, that forces a decision to move forwards or indeed.
Ooh, give in to the smoke!
That's the big kill!
Oh my goodness, Dumau feeling himself here, he will capitalise this time.
couldn't get it done in the pistol, but his individuality will win around this time around for legacy.
Yeah, it's brilliant. It's a lovely scale up long, really, really nice round.
It just got to be checked. Like nobody from Aurora even considers that to be a possibility
until it's too late. By the time they think, oh, maybe somebody could have pushed up long.
The Molly's already behind two of them, so they can just dive in towards the side.
Really, really nice work from legacy. It's got a bold call to make, but it's really in the
the wheelhouse of the the style that art wants to throw right he likes catching
people off like surprising them with a bit of a pacey applied and Torres what a
shot with the eagle doesn't take a point of damage either he sets himself and
catches all said he's not gonna call from the grave
I think he's going to see any action in the near future.
Triple boost there though.
Yeah, set up for more of a B play.
Oh, I was going to say it doesn't look like the bomb wants to go B, but actually they
have made a pivot.
Oh, it's a little hard setup.
There you go.
Oh, love it.
days off. So hold the phone in
second four on B. They know
about three and start splitting
away though. Maybe thinking
that yeah because they've seen
three there. Surely got to go
away. It's not going to be the
case. Pretty much all of them
spotted there. The rifle
recovered as well for
wakadia now getting dice. It's
just that lack of armor makes
life so awkward. We need a
eagle to go crazy. Oh my god.
It's a Tarras is to do it.
Meanwhile, wakadia tries actually
back. My goodness. That is
very lucky. Might have had a
punch to thank for that one.
Lato 25 low HP, low time. No
armor on these opponents could
still get this done. Some
well placed bullets. They are
not peeking. I'm not peeking,
letting him make the decisions
here as he looks to clear in
literally doesn't have loads of
time. It's about as far as
you know, 10 seconds now.
too much movement, too much to ask of his fingers.
He knew his chances at that one were going to be rough and that is almost a full eco
going the way of Aurora. That's a quad kill from Zantaris. Yeah, what a beast.
Just what a round coming through from him. An electric with that eagle.
It really kind of facilitated him in all the fights and set him up.
But a couple of these, they're just well worth themselves.
The first one was brilliant. Jumping up into all his party.
And that final one too, a swing on the top of the bomb, but Lato,
There was just no chance they weren't giving him any fights. It's so patiently played
But what a round to steal away there that's to come around that can massively impact the momentum
Only damage will
Maybe do quite a lot to do now leaving him reeling at the start of round in the 17
Being that as it was a low by of course always knew they were gonna get a full buy in here
But it's giving them a full buy of a bit of extra
You took a shun hand and a major 1.5 left over on the flip side
I guess you lose this round. Especially don't get a bomb on you're in serious trouble
Head and toes be the initial three but the bomb is not with them
Yeah, certainly curious, I think that bomb will probably look to join them great great flash there
that. One match. You've got to be careful not to go down or take too much
damage. Oh, HP bar for Dumau, but the man advantage is really going to be worth
its weight in cold. Meanwhile, on this in honor contact, all flight smells of
rat nose. What's up? Wow. Doesn't find the kill. This
thing remains clean. There's a bit of a flash response from the CT side, but
not much. Woxic, meanwhile, trying to get in the action here. He's going to
have to go crazy. It's just not looking likely. Legacy. The really smart round now. The back
and forth that we saw in the first half reappeared here.
What you can do if your Woxic is safe, I don't think Matt is going to be given that luxury.
He's kind of trying to hide in plain sight, but he's surely going to get checked there.
Surely dead to rights. For now, no. It can still make this expensive, but doom out
on a late lyrical hatchwax ignoesaving for the AWP and that's a really, really big round
taken by Legacy. That's the kind of round that can tell you to multiple. Nothing saved either
just to make maps all the more worse for Aurora. Not only do you get decimated, but
that actually could kind of kill you as well. Pretty work. So, so crisp in some of these
engagement is missing both of his are brilliant and it's older for what they
tried to get out alive there's all been playing up to me we already knew that
magic was dead to rights there's no way he's leaving the site alive but I think
what's it felt in the early exit that he'd be able to have the luxury of an
open the next round but not to be in look at what this is gonna do towards
Aurora the Taras will be dropped over the rifle you get pistols around it
You lose this legacy get the 10th and probably the 11th as well with your finances being broken at that point
We are knocking on the door of map 3
Yeah, scary prospect to say the least it
So a lot of pressure gonna be on these next couple of rounds
For both sides to be fair though legacy of course
Gonna build a buffer gonna build some money, but
It could all fall apart
I've seen these lower by rounds find a lot of success so I'm not saying anything you know
I'm not I'm not nothing is a certainty in this one that's for damn sure yeah I can
agree more I mean we saw Xantara's get a quad with the eagle earlier so definitely not
going to discount it. Smokul nullified the spot that he was holding. Oh fortunate for
It's all right.
This guy's tied through the edge of the wood there.
And Zartaro is the only premium gun in this round, dead.
Surely.
That's how all she wrote in this one.
Should be the double digits for legacy in just a moment.
From a five versus three, it's a hard round to squander.
I'm sure they've had a few rounds, a few rounds
through, may I say, in towards that inferno.
But this one feels next to impossible to lose.
Sazing gonna try and make sure of that couple of the Eagles left
And is looming and financial ruin as well for Aurora
Sure, wait a minute shortly not wait a minute. They're only now that same angle. I think you need a
He's gonna get another head
Oh
By himself now
Can he get this done it's two body tags not quite enough pistol is out
They look to join up on top of each other and there's just too many I fell him game one more
But yeah, he's so close. He knew though. We got two bullets off on to our I believe
And not able to finish him off and the issue is all he had like I think was one bullet
Yeah, I guess well, but he didn't want to chance the reload great effort
This is the third one.
Oh, such a good shot.
Such a good shot.
Well, unfortunately, all for naught.
He will get another eagle in towards this round,
because why wouldn't you offer a round like that?
But it is 10-4 legacy, and the 11th should come
as a bit of a cherry on top of the previous round.
There is just no money to work with for Aurora here.
They're going to try something a little bit funky.
Flash in, they dive round long.
And there's a spot. No one's here.
Indeed. So just keep it simple.
You might see an opportunity to find some eco frags, but even then not going to get greedy.
They back away, so we can definitely respect that.
It's really looking good now for legacy, isn't it?
This third map.
Just right around the corner.
Aurora may be squandering their opportunity in the city side.
Getting going in an impressive way, to be honest with you.
I mean the econ's gone away from them both teams have been dropping silly silly rounds in that sense
But Aurora disappointing ever so slightly
On last chance it feels like in this next round yeah, that one ever with this bye
Okay, dear
Don't go in for the round. He's having a late look. He'd love to scoop up an AK
Actually might get an opportunity here
The Taris. Magica down on the ship. Wacadia, that eagle is still singing pretty loud. Nice
shot from him. Not able to recover the gun, but my assumption is that typing in chat was
nice shot. So quick, Wacadia. That's the eagle. But his by-round is everything. We'll
We'll take a time out before heading into it.
Faber's talk, but Aurora, it really feels like they've never properly got going on towards
this second half in the same vein that Legacy did.
Legacy had moments, real pockets of momentum.
In the first, we've just not seen that same level here.
It's dicey, and you lose this round, Legacy will kind of cruise to taking your map pick
you can push us towards a third.
Yeah, absolutely.
Gonna need a step up someone to joins
and tarries towards the top end of that scoreboard.
The legacy side of things.
Or punch more firepower, more success in the fights.
Jerome Woxic, slightly quiet.
It's Woxic in particular that you've
got to look towards.
He has to find success here.
A strange kind of pie.
What's exam twenty six hundred dollars while Wikipedia has nothing but a eagle I think potentially because he's dropped the
Orpacross and sacrificed his armor and he's gone listen man. I'm just a right off like without armor. What can I really do?
He's feeling good on the D glass suppose
Yeah, it's bold move
There's having confidence in your eagle and then there's maybe overconfidence doing it
Armour listen to a gun round. Let's see
probably puts a lot more pressure on towards the medium guns. Let's see. Doesn't start well as
Antares is all fly dead. Wokadia scooped up a rifle. He ships in the night as he tries to sneak
through the smoke. He might find a gap. He does for once. Same with Woxic as well. The Deagle
pulled out and Woxic gets a second. How have they recovered this round? They had no right
after the opening double for legacy. Where's a one versus two and it's all on the shoulders of
I don't know if I can speak. I'm flabbergasted. I was ready to rip apart the CT side self
We'll hold that for a moment because we're Katie is gonna find the final kill and that's all he needs man
Glass cannon deagle
Now now he's gonna you know new challenge deagle with one eye closed
Can he get a clip? They'll go blindfolded. They don't go one-handed
Insane absolutely insane and you know look they win the round but that
is incredibly lucky. Yeah. Four on B and like no forward presence just completely got caught
off by the B burst. But enough chaos and just enough like players with no ammo left in their
magazines, I guess is what allows those guys to to thread in there and find the unlikely
what to be for overall. I think like just insane.
How they get away with that, I do not know.
How much of an effect will that have?
That's a lot of pressure.
I mean, this next round, this round that we're in here, round of 21 is a huge swing round.
Because of how expensive that almost for Aurora, they have to heavily reinvest back in.
Flipside is legacy, of course, buying back in to force and return of a couple of glills,
He's the side of any sort of residual cash.
There's some spots in my mind, Jay's lucky he's not tapped down.
You lose this.
It could be make or break if it's legacy who win this round.
Surely they just cruise to seeing this towards a third.
If Aurora win it though, that might prompt a tied game.
Oh.
Top five.
The boy did the flash.
Yeah, just about, but he's not able to find any kills.
Okay, you're going down quickly, but we are again four on B and again going to be requiring some a ricks
Look how much damage has been done man. Oh the headshots landing though. Thank goodness for legacy
That is insane. I mean the difference in HP bars is just unbelievable
So Aurora previous round they get lady look on their side. It's now legacy who have that same oversight
They're able to take number 12 the immediate response ties
Crazy unfortunate for the CTs and they just have no idea. Yeah one more slightly different piece of utility
And they throw a little bit later a little bit earlier Molly come down earlier to and who knows what could have happened, but
Legacy so fortunate single-stitch an HP for art and do my 14
Bellato
Crazy work. They survived with only one casualty.
How do your HP bars get this low, you know?
I know, I know.
Our point now, legacy of the opponent's about big.
So many times they're getting dinked in their initial agendas, but they're just a little bit crisper.
With the headshot.
I
Point that dust who's looming now and I
Kind of do feel like it's deserved like legacy have just looked better on the seaside and Aurora offered up for us
Yeah, it's very true
It is very very true and also Aurora look considerably worse on the CT than the legacy where yeah
I also just never getting themselves in a position to control the money
I mean, it's like the run boost kind of me when I run boost. Yeah, well, exactly. Yeah,
to be fair, I feel that a little harder in CS two, but you know, you are paid to play
the game. Either way, it's all good. No one's really going to capitalize. No one sees
it on the enemy team, just a road, just a regular one this time. Meanwhile, Zantara
is spotting a couple of players in the bathroom needs to be careful on his exit route.
He knows it. He's caged in over there. Deagle out from Wikipedia to try and help out and record the numbers.
I think they are, you know.
Too right.
Half a face from Art. He's left low from a body tag.
He's not missing right now. I actually wouldn't test it.
Totally valid. You do have to deal with him eventually. I suppose if they are to cross up, he's called for some help on the A site itself.
They're going to try for a little two-man move here.
Closing the gap. Oh, he keeps the damage coming. They're gonna let him reload. Oh, it was close.
I think he could have spammed away.
I'm gone crazy. MP9 set up, but doesn't quite find success. Meanwhile, they're gonna confirm.
Yeah, you hit question mark. The bomb is really far away, so definitely could pivot. 25 seconds.
It's actually very far away given the time. Yeah.
Ooh, they're doubting their unsure.
He's throwing nades.
From back, Woxic.
15 seconds here.
The flashes are good.
Woxic around.
Can he drop this bomb at the opportune moment?
Surely not, you would say.
Is there a wall bang?
Maybe.
They double peek into him.
Not going to happen.
Legacy will take the overpass.
After Aurora with a keen start into the second half,
the numbers looking good.
We thought, OK, they should be able to cycle the momentum.
They just could not get that ball rolling immediately shut down.
Really well played from Legacy.
A chaotic T-side, but it works well and despite a round like this, you know, the full eco win, they're still able to get it done.
Just not enough firepower on display coming through, right? It was a two-man show for Aurora,
uh-oh, Wacadia and Ventarez, and in the gun rounds especially, kind of Wacadia, mainly with the Beagle, but...
When we look back at it, they just looked lackluster all the way through.
Both on the CT and T-side, Legacy had their number.
At least now opens the door, heading in towards his map number three.
Squander opportunities on a burner for legacy, but Squander chances there on Overpass before Aurora.
It's map number three of Dust2.
Coming up next.
No chance, all done.
I was frozen. I don't know who's wearing some interesting shorts there. It felt like he's
He's about to start rolling, presumably Jiu-Jitsu or something.
Yeah, like a long short.
Yeah, a combat short.
Long shorts.
They make all trousers.
It's a new YouTube thing they're trying to watch.
Long shorts or regular?
Okay, what have we got here Chad?
He's off short again.
Four man push up towards short.
Broke it a cover with the bomb and broke it open things up.
First frag, speaking of the most,
Oh, it's a miss.
One, there's the first miss of the day.
It's bound to.
Got wiggled on the floor.
You're allowed to have a couple of misses.
That was a reasonable miss.
He got wiggled.
As we know, we don't like the jigglers.
No, I believe.
Heard about this from Afro.
Yeah.
Afro was not like, oh, he was a fan, I guess.
Cause it's easy for him to kill.
It's like, keep jiggling me.
I'll kill you.
Careful now, Mattis.
Oh, well, that's a miss,
but it flashed off.
You know, he took the shot,
and that's even better.
Very nice.
Great flash.
Absolutely cream hide out there.
What a well-oiled machine.
I know, FaZe. What a sick idea.
Like...
I know...
It hasn't worked out for them, but you can't lie to hit them on the ropes there.
For a moment, for sure.
If Frozen Kills a couple of moments earlier,
it could have been a round.
So in another universe,
that was a round.
Not in this one.
Anyway, did you have my L bag at EFG.GG, excuse me, email through.
Ask Rush some questions, ask J-Raz MC,
Armit.
Ask if you really want, but, you know, let's mix it up.
Damn.
I want the other staff to answer some questions.
You too.
So Maxloss Burn is no plant in five consecutive rounds.
We have no kills yet on the J-Cob.
We have one kill for Brokey, Twist and Carrigan and four kills for Frozen which have all been in vain because the rounds have been moving over when he started getting the frags.
These are the kind of rounds I like, Chad. Tech nines, couple of deagles in the mix.
If it was a major Henry, I'd be with you.
Yeah.
No, like this, but this is fine. They're going to go over two down and then they're going to be in the final. That's the phase one.
Again, spirit.
Yeah, phase spirit.
It's like, you know, for now just enjoy the show.
Oh, I'm loving it.
I mean, even now, this is a good idea, right?
Walking it out towards me.
I hate all these compliments.
We're just trying to bring a positive vibe to the world.
No, I see that.
There's a lot going on at the moment, Hugo,
and I think that a positive spin will make all the difference.
A great overall patch.
It's a great point, Joe.
Come on.
So, we've got a little execute coming in here, boys.
How are we doing in Avangar? Where are the mollies going?
Is it Goose? Is it Ramp? Is it Sight?
Is it for rotation?
Smoke down CT.
Smoke down Shaw. 40 seconds.
long guard. Here we go, for sure.
That's it.
Yup.
Some pirates are not missing right now, seven and one.
Long draws for taking. Here we go, here we go, that's what it is.
It's a crazy technique, but I'm just waiting.
Pistol out and some pirates survives.
For that retake it should be fine, right?
Should be fine.
No way of knowing for sure.
As long as the supplies doesn't die, the two players will come through short, and they'll
just sweep this one under the ground.
He's looking locked in.
That's what we want to see.
Oh!
CreamyP!
Okay.
Cream is back on the table.
Six to zero.
The bomb planted in his chaired reference, maximum loss bonus.
I assume an AWP were coming out.
Maybe a tactical timeout.
I think one of those would be nice.
I think...
Let's call that.
Nio only calls the eco.
The one.
Nah, he needs to call this one.
Just to get the team to cooperate.
This is my record last season, Hugo, when I'd call a tactical timeout.
100% record. Can he keep the street going?
Oh!
His nose is the game.
Great work.
Back in Henry and my day, guys, they used to deliver milk and it used to come with these glass bottles and they'd leave it out in the step.
If you didn't get it in time, it would actually bring it along.
It would turn into cream.
That would sit outside for too long.
It's good information.
The raw milk fans will hate that.
It didn't really make sense. You just go to the supermarket and buy it.
Why do we need someone to deliver it?
It's just an old thing carried over from our parent generation.
I guess so.
It was always good though.
Why did the milkman always come inside and speak to your mum though?
You know, it's a specialty.
And a sister.
So, Neo, what have you got for us?
What's the change up here?
We've got...
This is an Insta from Twist.
Looks like him.
So, slow down, double-double...
Looked up at you?
Yeah, looked up at you.
Three towards B.
I think we're calling something out of spawn in the chat.
Could be...
I wasn't saying B-POP, but maybe a mid to B.
Not enough players in the upper tones.
Henry, I learned the device flashes today.
Very happy you did the powerful, right?
Love the device.
It's an easy lineup as well.
Maybe we'll show the people at home the device flashes.
Yeah, we should.
And they take the smoke.
Molders smoke device flashes.
All the B doors smoke.
From...
Long.
I think they're super meta. I think FaZe will throw them here.
This is a good counter to a B.
He's just gonna play ahead of this.
He's playing ahead.
Into Broke though.
Now stop.
Why do you walk in?
Okay, Karagan, speed, aggression, violence.
Karanses have the hope that I anticipate in this smoke push in towards B we go with the CTs.
Very, very comfortable indeed.
It looks like another convincing victory here for G2.
We've got Brokey already considering the save here.
A minute on the clock, you'll see if Twisk can find any sort of entry point.
But it's got nice space as opposed, but G2 doesn't really have to do it.
It's a nice space as opposed but G2 don't really have to do it.
Cream always rises to the top and some pious that hot white cream is bubbling up.
It's playing sweet for us.
Three kills from Europe and that is crushes.
Some pious 12-1.
It's a brilliant reaction from G2 to an even greater call out of phase clash.
10 kills in seven rounds for phase.
It's a lot of kills.
Exactly, if they were getting some.
If they get a few more.
Yeah, they'd be winning.
a couple more that's all they need I mean this looks too comfortable for G2 they're not
being pressured at all there is no stress every jewel has been that had the advantage every
one on one we've seen sunny P is looking great 12 and one now this is a B pop just said the
B pop up immediately oh he's got the confidence flowing this is what he wanted to do more
of yesterday Henry yeah hello everyone's even with the miss spray he gets one character
does he be check it just take it from the board he gets a trade so first kill for
the young pole and have you go to you he's he hasn't really got going yet he's
great he's one of the best people is actually in the game right now it's
gonna rock your socks he's got a nice position to still walking forward though
frozen catches that entry mission across some place can we make up for it
it's close but no cigar phase of the smoke down should be there I know you
I think I'm crazy, but they should save yeah, I've already got seven in the bank right
Take the save on this guarantee more buys down the stretch. Yeah, if you can save now
But you won't have to we close this round is over give it over that's fine
You're gonna lose some the figure of winning sevens and you've got an 8k here is white Hunters. She saved the 8k
That's more to the goods. Yeah, totally agree
We guess you can try
I'm looking to contain, I would say.
This is a bad idea.
I'm looking to contain it.
I'm looking to contain it.
They're not going to go through it.
They're looking for damage.
Are they trying to defuse the bomb?
No.
No.
With Piautation.
No.
They're locking in.
There was an attack.
There was one.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
They're all there.
Somebody is dead.
I don't like it.
You've got the modest, I suppose.
No.
I still don't like it.
I thought we're being positive today.
I thought it was a good idea from G2.
Yeah.
Thank you, Harry.
Yeah.
First sensible thing you've said all day.
They thought FaZe would end-
What the fuck?
Why?
I killed my- I killed my-
Ha ha ha ha!
Cheers!
How are things going, Mr. Surrantist?
Things could be better Hugo.
Things could be a whole lot better.
I sure hope it's nothing serious.
Huh?
No, nothing serious.
It's just a little problem with the old keyboard of staters.
Nothing that I can't handle though, Hugo.
Thanks for asking.
Snaptop.
Can't live without it?
Can't live without it.
Words of wisdom, Hugo.
Words of wisdom.
I didn't enable it. God damn it. I didn't.
I wouldn't use it on official servers.
I wouldn't risk my case at ranking.
I'd do anything for you, Lohugo. Any fucking thing for it.
That damn bitch.
As long as I lived, she'll never let me forget what happened.
I did use it once, okay?
It was an accident.
It's completely unintentional.
It could have happened to anybody.
It was on the day of the valve ruling.
This little...
This little fucker was taunting me.
Making fun of my entries.
All I was trying to do was help the team.
A momentary loss.
a muscular coordination.
I mean, just a little help from the keyboard, Hughes.
Just a little help.
Trace.
Trace, thank God you're here.
Tess's used SnapTap with Pro League.
DSL, over-trend or map burn.
Tess's used SnapTap with ESL Pro League?
The fuck was he thinking?
Hey Future Pros, back to Dust2, this time with the door smoke that you can throw from Teespawn.
To throw this smoke, get into this corner, aim at this point at the top right of this
distant building. Then simply jump through the smoke. Just like that the mid-doors will
be blocked off. This smoke will also deny CT sightlines to peer over it and get info
on catwalk. This is a Dust2 essential, so commit it to memory.
And so my fellow Americans, give us the Major!
Give us the Major!
We don't know it's good from Sector!
Oh no!
We don't know it's good from Sector!
Alright! It's a perfect end!
But this is done!
This is madness!
What's up. Well, an
insanely hard fought first map
into really disappointing
showing from Aurora on their
pick one of their decent maps
at this point in time. And now
we move on to dust two. It has
been a crazy series. If you've
got some crazy things you want
to say and get involved in
the mail bag. Of course, you
got the email at the bottom
That'll come directly to us. Maybe you have some more generic questions and whatnot
We might also get them as well, but make sure to check in with the mail bag
I believe it's mostly been James and Dan kind of getting into that once the mail bag builds up
Yeah, of course of the day, but some funny questions always help in those tech pauses
It's true. It's true. It's true. Maybe
Next take fours, we can have a little check into the mail back and see what's sort of in there, but um
Either way, we're heading towards this mountain of three
It's dust two now on the cards and yeah, you know, kind of re-inserting your point
Just a really underwhelming showing from Aurora on their map pick. It felt like what it was naturally quite a decent punish pick
It's not really well repped by legacy
And you know one win one loss and the two times they've played in the last few months
It felt like a pretty simple one to be taken by Aurora and they just fumble it and now we go towards the dust two
And it's kind of anyone's math here
It's a map in which both of these sides play a little bit of a little bit more on the Aurora side
but legacy they've won three from four as well.
So they're pretty sharp on it when they have played it.
Aurora, I wonder whether they squandered a chance there.
No, that is true.
That is true.
I mean, this shapes up to be a really interesting showing
now and indeed Aurora, I think, just really missing the mark
in a lot of rounds from economic decisions
that don't quite make sense.
And individually just not quite keeping up
without Wokada going crazy, it
would have been an even more one-sided affair, to be honest with you, wild stuff on that
second map. But Dust2 comes in an equalizing map at times, and another one that Aurora
are generally quite comfortable on. So I think certainly curious to see what the case may
be moving into this D2. And it takes a bit of time to get going. But yeah, they have
been playing it against some decent teams, beat Maus on it. That's nothing to shake
a stick out I think. But they're yet to play it, like, you know, into recent memory. I think
we'll see. It depends. Close against Astralis. What do you make of these results?
Yeah, I mean, the Astralis won as well. You know, good win for them, but again, close,
but to map on which Astralis don't mind in the room regard. Payne, they should be decimating
an R. That's a good one to kind of win for Aurora. It's a good little test. But yeah,
lost to Aurora, lost to Paravision, both relatively one side of there. So it shows
there is still a bit of a ceiling. Flip is on as well for legacy. They've already put it
They've got two players who have
played twice at this pro league
and they've picked up wins on both
of them and they've scouted two
big sides as well G2 and
Paravision legacy beat them both
on this wall saying where I feel
like they've squandered a chance
here potentially Aurora. As
out of that we had in the early
stages of crack out a loss to
foot that's kind of long
enough ago now that we don't
really take into consideration
I think it's very, very true. I
think there is a fair chance. It
really is a difficult one to call
here Tuesday, the least, and we've
seen ups and downs and crazy
plays. Seen some really quite nice
plays from some individuals, but
I think legacy as this goes on,
it gets wackier and more chaotic.
That's generally where they tend
to be. I think it's very, very
difficult. I think it's very,
very difficult. I think it's
more chaotic. That's generally where they tend to thrive. But Aurora just continuing to have this
inconsistency, which we see at the top level as well, right? It's, I think the T sides that come
under a lot of scrutiny for them. But it just continues to be a really difficult team to know
what you're going to get on a given day or a given half. And so that applies, I think, coming
into dust too. But, fine, we'll tell. Got a little bit of an update for you there with
some of the other games coming up.
G2 are destroying FaZe.
And I won already on map number one over there.
That's pretty well.
No surprises that spread to the last 3D Max pretty handily
as well, 13, 10, 13, 7.
Over to kick off the A-stream.
But I can't know that I'd be a little bit close,
but FaZe have still got their eternal issues, it seems.
Not a good look.
Let's have a look.
What are we dealing with here?
1 and 10.
Jacob, 2 and 10.
and vicaragan, five being the top end with Frozen and Brokey.
It's not a good look.
G2 are making light work.
And hey, it's some pies at the top,
which I feel like we've not said for a while.
He's actually been kind of a guy with a lot of eyes on him.
You know, screw.
So you're not mixing your alcohol?
You can drink it, I don't know, 10 hours.
What an idea!
Choose a job, choose a career, choose the fucking big house, choose academy players.

Oh, look at this.

Hey Future Pros, back to Dust2, this time with the door smoke that you can throw from Teesport.
To throw this smoke, get into this corner.
Aim at this point at the top right of this distant building.
Then simply jump through the smoke.
Just like that the mid doors will be blocked off.
This smoke will also deny CT sightlines to peer over it and get info on Catwalk.
This is a Duster Essential, so commit it to memory.
My map, Duster, is so beautiful when the sun is low.
At nightfall, the Elo Harvester's land.
Their cruelty to my people is all I've known.
May thy most whip and splatter.
And a double kill, it's all on to Alexi.
Pete, he's got 19 bullets, everything he needs.
Who are you?
Fuck.
If he's swing off the name, you're gonna die!
Alexi, I'm coming!
I'm not human, it's virtual!
My desert.
My elo.
My dust tube.
Fuck for fuck's sake!
I'm just gonna do it with any fucking castle.
You- you'll see it, I will talk.
Can we do it?
Hey, cheer up boys. It's only a best of five.
Gassad?
Huh?
Gassad?
Gassad?
and four, seven, five.
Do you enjoy an alcoholic beverage?
Of course, what?
Vodka.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
go on to Los Yicos.
Okay, we're back.
We're back.
Thank you very much for your patience.
A little bit of a waiting one there,
just with some technical issues.
Unfortunately, this game's been semi-plagued by it,
but it seems like we do have things going.
You know, there's a lot of moving parts.
We've got cameras in front.
We've got cameras behind.
We've got all these things to get into a server, of course, and get locked in, but it seems
like we are there.
I don't think they would put his life without things being sorted to the best of everybody's
knowledge onto the Dust2 to decide this series.
Let's get this show on the road.
The Dust2, this has been a good map for legacy at this tournament.
Two nice wins under their belt against G2 and Pyrovision.
They're not easy sides to scalp.
I'm not sure if I'm going to
be able to get to the top. Aurora
letting this one slip to a third.
How costly will this be?
You're not flashing spots run
towards Xbox. They distinct one
HP survives on and he won't
survive for much longer.
Oh, nice finding towards long,
but again going to be traded
out. So it's this matter
advantage that Aurora are
to get in. I don't feel too
good about this. Honestly,
Lato's got the jewelies. It's
really the only thing to write
about a smoke to make things
weird, but I think they just
want some open fights here on
the CT side to be honest,
Nyssen gets that first. You
will trade out on the site as
well. All of a sudden it's a
two versus one and they've
maybe given a bit too much
space across and somehow for
versus three, I can see able
to get all those kills that
I don't know. I feel like
there was a perfect opportunity
for like a double swing on
a double swing on the side.
Messy, very, very messy there from that T side.
Aurora should never be losing rounds like that.
I mean, they've never been completely honest,
especially even just the opening fight
and the space that they take.
But in that post-mortem situation,
they just make it too easy.
Credit to Legacy, they don't shoot us in front of them,
but they just play really quite effectively
to isolate doors.
And unfortunately for Aurora,
it just falls apart too quickly.
It's a tilter on the round, so let's slip away.
Ensure a bomb point out of it can facilitate a buy,
which is what we'll get triple galeel scout on a eagle
That's annoying one to let go
kind of for nothing
There's a scouting play for sadson as well gonna try and test woxic
But for now he doesn't want to test the fighting towards suicide
Just gonna give them that space give them that respect across
Hopefully work from there
Chunky knee damage
It's that opening killed I think they're really looking for in a
Round like this, you just want to shore up your position, could get very, very scary, you know, if you end up losing that first player.
So both teams really vying for the initial fight to go their way. Seems to be shape up towards short here.
Yeah, let's see.
See, the smoke will come through.
No, it doesn't. It missed. What did it catch on there?
That smoke missed. It caught on some sort of ledge.
They have to waste another smoke.
It's not a good look. You're pretty fine out in the U-Till you've got here in the
four-spy and having to
burn another smoke makes it a lot harder when it comes to his ex-fuse. You're going to dive
in towards the A-side now. Flash will come over,
briefly catches Dumar but is still a bit scared about going through.
I've just got one. Dumar quick on the trade. He's
All alone here and now especially with off going down. He should be dead right. He's gonna get to free pulls up the pistol
I'm across there was in the right spot. He just can't pull the trigger in time
20 seconds nissan
Try twice a
That is a squandered opportunity and walks a console fight drag that round back in favor of Aurora
I actually can't believe they get away with that. Yeah, 100% I mean here
We are again right with the crazy up and down back and forth
off. Wild ride thus far as it
looks set to continue coming
into this third and final map of
this series. Very, very difficult
stuff to say the least to be on
the end of Aurora will be
looking to absolutely steam roll
forwards legacy. It's in the
air, right? The force by wars
could certainly be on the cards
My days of tilts are to let slip.
Legacy, 5-7s are always quite scary.
A few of them here in this round.
I'm just doing a due diligence at least for now.
I don't want to fall in towards a gamble stack.
Bit of an angle by Lato.
Hang on the corner in towards me.
and he now will get everyone to support too.
With all they really want to invite the pressure in here.
I thought a 5-7 on close as well.
I mean, arts draw an attention away
that they might actually overlook his position.
Smoked down two again.
I think there's a potential they might not check in
but he dives round and kind of the worst time
as they were falling away.
Oh, oh!
What's he doing?
And now, what is he doing?
We've talked about this.
That's brazen.
Yeah, we'll absolutely be punished for that one.
So, man advantage, not a lot of time.
A lot of time at all.
Two bodies still on this B bomb site.
An unlikely angle maybe.
It doesn't get checked.
He actually takes a peek early.
We like that for missing.
Wow, really keen find for him.
But now, with only 20 seconds left,
it gets very, very shaky indeed.
The bomb, no closer to committing.
They're all so very split, the 5-7s doing so much damage and indeed, they're just playing time here.
Not alive, come on, this is an absolute mess, 8 seconds left.
They'll just about get it, recovery of the bomb and the plan will indeed come in.
But it's to hunt to a 1 on 1 and it's very, very doable here.
Zantara, it's so much work for him to get in.
It's 29 HP to smoke onto the doors, kind of.
that's in. Ultimately only
really has one decision in his
mind. Does have a Molotov
opting not to use it just yet,
but he will get out. That goes
a bit deeper. I don't know that
it's going to reach Santares.
Unfortunately, wash goes through
on the other side, right? Not
where he's coming from. He's
looking towards window, but
taking his sweet time about it
since I don't know all about
this over the top of him.
So Torres is again looking at
the Molly didn't quite reach
him in the end of that tail end legacy actually deserve that round it felt like
they'd set themselves up quite nice to just one slight over fight and it allows
a roar to dive in and get that bomb down with just a second to spare did a
really good job of making something work there but just hasn't passed him he
assumed he was big box rather than the pillar itself nice work by Santa
Torres this is really quite shaky around from both sides like nothing's
we've seen so far in these opening three have been convincing. Kadea walks it, the maid will
see off Nyssen. It is a low to no buy for a legacy. It should be a simple one, yeah just
like that. The flash is completely avoided by Wakadea, a freebie.
All gone quiet here as Aurora looking to firm their position.
Santara's slow creep up middle.
Looking to try and find this solidifying kill.
I did not move in. I was going to say now would be a good time for it. Should catch one.
Oh, should be the operative word. Oh, no. Yeah, that's tough. The aim punch getting
the better of him after an initial dink. Really, really tough to beat. Lato going to be known
about. He gets overwhelmed and that probably is any chance to kill let alone the round.
Hang on to what they'll know about that down. He goes so flawless one for Aurora,
to pick up a lot of money now. Should have been a kill there, but even if that killer
come through it wouldn't have made any difference to the round itself. So this next gun is really
quite important actually. In a kind of spot where for legacy you lose this Aurora can
probably chain a couple more behind it and your momentum, your kind of feeling about
where you're at at the moment is starting to get worse and worse. Especially at the
back of what was a really nice previous map. I feel like I missed the opportunity to kind
of capitalize upon it. Sofly opens things up. It's a lovely boost though. Sides in quick
reaction. Choose down on Kachan Torres. He'll level the playing field. Sofly's tagged
his walls, worth keeping an eye on. Oh, Lato with a nice find though, as Wikipedia
will overstep his mark. Out with the long control here as they look to try and work
their way in. Slow but sure, smoke is going to start going down so you have to be aware
of that. While the CT side getting some annoying utility in the way. I don't think so. Might
spot the next man but instead taking the ramp angle, nice Molotov. Really nice read here,
minute left on the clock so plenty of time to just slowly work their way in. Again another
nice Molotov as Jumao is now forced backwards, blinded up. Magics are flying here and
all of a sudden, they've battled back really great move from Aurora, just slowly creeping
in, really intentional utility. Yeah. The shots land.
A little wood's just yet though.
Boxigal replays that smoke to Bart on the swing. He gets bailed out by Magia and that'll
reveal the position of missing one versus two. Surely no chance, he's in off a kit.
Feels next to impossible on this retake. Oh, but the-
Long range angle. Soulfly is a little bit exposed here.
He's lucky to actually remain alive.
He now gets towards the site, a tap, and he drops Soulfly, goes up on high.
It's a nice attempt there, but it's Madge who wins out the aim-dull.
But it's skinny, it's east-off, but it is another four Aurora.
Indeed, looking very, very good now.
a pretty serious round for Aurora as well. They were manned down and it comes in as a really strong
buy for legacy. So I think Aurora with some again madness at the beginning, the back and forth being
threatened. They've done very very well here. As they look set to be hitting a pretty clean scoreline
and he's staged the first half of the game. It's well played though to not stick around to
know what's up and back off I think. He heard a lot. There's a lot of players there that would try and
stand and fight, especially against the ECO and what not. Respect given by Wikipedia.
Also now they've got to scale in towards A quicker, right, because they know that that was
the bulk of the park heading towards B. You've got to kind of capitalize upon this.
There's a slight boost above this smoke. I don't think this is a spot of anything,
and actually the tower is being spammed down and from above as well.
soul fly for twos and par is one of his own. So it eradicates anything of this low buy. Another
flawless one for Aurora. They are quite rapidly taking quite a good lead here. Legacy. The gun rounds
have been ineffective and the low buys aren't even really scratching the surface. Sort of a
dangerous position they're putting themselves in now as we come back in towards the buy. They're
stuck in this rinse and repeat cycle. Full buy in, not finding any success. Low buy eco.
Vincent repeat
Yeah, let's see if Aurora can keep pummeling them into the dirt here gonna go for another long burst
Lot of players out and they have the the cross smoke themselves
Which is you know as something that came into the matter as a CT smoke
Stop the roll
They are the ones going for it pretty confident. What a boost out here are gonna be forced into some awkward positions
Boxic tagged up slightly.
There's tip attack at the moment, but no early kill as yet.
That's a premonition of the smoke as well by AR.
Just to try and force the T's to slow down.
At the same time though,
they kind of know, well they don't even kind of, they definitely know that they are all group of Tours long.
Got a mid player here,
and Lato holding from around Xbox, and then they've already taken tons of trouble.
Off the back in this one. I know where this is ending.
Only three here, but the fourth or latter rotating over.
Making the smoke. Mollying towards ramp before, just in case anybody across.
Roura, at this point surely you'd realise how damning the situation you're in,
but you can't do anything about it. You can't cancel and go back towards B.
You'll take too long to clear all that side of the map.
They've got to brute force their way towards this A site.
get a weird scenario of them to deal with but they look really good the last
time they hit the same bombsite a lot of ideas here they're very very fresh they
hold the line against one not ready for this next man but he's missed the
opportunity oh they're really not ready for him though can he get multiple
is the question the answer is yes and there's maybe a possibility for one more
matter incredibly low we'll go down to the orb in fact it's gonna be woxic to
try and find this one to come quick. He's just not ready for the flank and legacy this
time will hold a like a good effort though. It's a good effort just on that time. I mean,
I think they've seen so much presence towards the site. They were fully sure that it felt
like it was all coming in through short and CT, but like this and who was initially
taking so much up a, you know, B tunnels control so early and towards that round.
late-lurk. On the side here, don't do that, it does so well. Just getting to in this situation was
pretty impressive in itself.
Second on the board for Legacy, but still we need a lot more before we're convinced.
Aurora, back into the buy for them and they still even after this one have a bit of residual
cash. I mean, I just hit on 6.4 off the back of this full buy.
I'm not sure what they're doing.
Oh, do bow. Let's go down. I'm
interesting. They try and go for
the aggression. You know, they're
desperate to stay in control of
things here. And. Desperation may
cost them. Oh, tough, tough
fights really tough. That that
trade doesn't come in. What's
it can't find in me while over on
B and easy pickup for Nysim. So
despite the first kill, the
fact that I think that player
is able to get in so deep and
and they work well around that.
Okay.
Versus four.
That's a half HP, but aside from that,
I've no real information to work with.
I don't think I'm gonna come through sad,
it's not a missed opportunity
and towards doors.
It's Madge.
We're lurking through short.
I don't make a move though.
45 seconds, they're going back
towards the A site,
which they've had previous successes on.
on but I'm on the back of my gem what a timing I'm not smoked by up on surely that
but it completely nullifies anything in this round imagine I didn't just try and
creep his way forward but he's dead to rights it no matter what there's no way
surely Aurora can win this round
I thought maybe so fly to have the God flash but
Just too many
We got a plan here, you know
It seems they may be happy to see that
Real reaction shot required Nate is good
You have to say he's soft enough now that they're able to get this done
He's looking to take the fight to them
that will slow them down
slightly split them up a bit.
What they ought to do.
Satsen is really, really giddy
for this fight, which.
Maybe not the move, but he's
just distracting the way while
his teammate creeps in. So fly
has got a bit of an idea of
that. Unfortunately, cannot find
the timing.
They'll take it, though. Yeah.
They get the bomb plan. They
make it costly, so they will
take that. It's actually
really not a bad effort,
1 vs 2 and like you mentioned you know bomb down making it costly but there's
another round for legacy starting slowly but surely to chip away at the
initially pretty large deficit Aurora started off this half-width still
unconvinced at the moment though by Aurora since this starts to become a
kind of guns in play for legacy you're getting a little bit more proactive on
on the CT side, which is always a good sign.
Fly back in place.
Pull the T side, but maintain this role.
It will be the final one with a double Galil
that has to come through and really limited utility.
R takes contact, he's got to get out of there alive,
and he does, he gets one.
Now, tuck himself around the corner
at the same time that fight's happening
where Kadia drops him out.
Yeah, I think they were ready to get that kill
and then just charge up long, to be honest.
The fact that they don't is a big old deal, but the cross mode that they get down is not good enough
Woxic's gonna find out trying to re-aggress and we gain that control with Katie I mean while
Why I dare cross out in the wrong place, but the spot is too strong
That is his aim
An advantage now for the T side of things as they
Looking good here
Slowly, but surely
Rora look to scale into this A bombsite and the legacy boys are split for this one.
Let's see.
Lato upon Tours the box, he can see above the smoke.
He drops down and Taurus is crept by.
Oh my god he steps and is that Taurus has gone out?
Lato's dead there.
After making a move from short, I think at the same time, for Lato and Satsen, probably at this point,
you just shell up and say, if that's going to be the case, one spotted making their way towards lower.
Magic could have made a bit more patient there and guaranteed the kill, but he instinctively shoots and tags Lato once,
and that'll be all she wrote in this one. They know they've run away, so they know they're saving.
Another round put on the board for Aurora.
So not fully convinced, but that's a lot more like it.
the most fun expensive to which is kind of all I need just put something in terms of the
reserves for the finances.
Just making sure we get out there my just good, but safe from the boards of guaranteeing
worst case scenario, tie game at the hall can take a lead heading into all of that CT.
Yeah, legacy coming in quite a bit of trouble.
Yeah, I know for sure. I mean, it feels like it's been bouncing around the past few rounds, but
The initial strength, uh, the legacy we were able to give themselves after winning that four spine the second round is just so
Huge to work with, right? It's a great buffer.
They're going to take a time out here, which is also pretty smart for my money. They know they're coming up against a strong buy and they know they're at a turning point.
We win this before some of the Rico. That's a eight four at the very least if not a nine three
And I think they're slightly more locked in the overpass got ahead of them
Take your eyes off the prize especially after a quadruple overtime win, you know, it's fair enough that you might become
Just one in a nice easy game, you know and indeed it was not the case
So I think in between maps they've done a
A pep talk of course to try and get back into things.
It's a marathon of a series though.
This one started at 1pm.
It's now 5pm UK time and we're still in the first half.
Apologies to James and Dan.
Late night for those guys.
I think it's probably the safe one and of course our wonderful production team.
It's going to be a long day at the office depending on how those remaining two
games go. We saw it with a nice quick one. We thought they might be setting us up for the day, but
oh no. Opener of Madge have fallen for the hands of Sadzen. It has been quite a consistent
problem throughout this series that I'll be likes getting himself in towards opening engagements.
No confidence to sort of set himself up for fights.
Looks like we're going to dive back towards A site once again. We've got plenty of time
still to the side but all four are grouped here so up and ready is the name of the
game smoke to go down lovely little touchdown they continues to soften them
up that CT smokes faded now as well for the rules of a split to beat and now it
should be a known quantity really or legacy that this is where they're
wrangling. No one took that
midspace off the back of the
smoke. They must know trickling
in with the smokes into the
need continues to make life
easier. You now right on the
edge of this one will be ready
to go. Yeah, does not go down.
Double kill landed easy as you
like it's going to be what
sick all alone 20 seconds
might as well try and save
here. Can if you can
Makes his move in towards lower just to readable for a role. Yeah
Timeout as well. Yeah, exactly. Like that's what we sort of broke down in that talk
I mean, it's so simple you throw a smoke in towards the mid to be cross
But then you don't do anything where you don't even try and test the water towards mid
So they then start to know that they're not taking any control with this
We can leave one up close to personal towards tunnels, but for the most of us we
Guess it's gonna be an a finish beautiful work
6-4, all around the play in this first half, and I made a roar in a bit of a dodgy spot,
but what's the other thing to say about it?
Scouts?
Here's the shot, that's an AWP collected now as well, you'll take those.
Yeah, it could be three to the small kill, yeah I don't think that's what that's supposed to do.
Yeah, I don't think it's meant to go there.
it's a peek in and indeed they will punish but it's all good you know the the T side
not able to land in the seat he's like don't worry guys we're smoking for you don't worry about that
he's not very trickle down smoke i missed the hidden smoke man that was one of my favorite
yeah who the hell figured that out you know i know yeah oh my this is going to be a blood bath
he hears them all walking by but there's somebody's got eyes on it oh somebody said i hit something
in the smoke. What is going on in and out? In and out. Art surely has to go down here.
He does, but he's done enough. He's created enough chaos, of course, because that's what
he does. It's so fine. The one on three. Just have to be careful not to feed into him
here. Looking for wand. Can't start there. Thumar will make it happen. But yes, that
was wild. That's what he does. He's in. He's like, hello. I'm over here. I'm over
Bob and weave, Bob and weave, dip and dive.
What's the dodgeball, dip dive, dodge?
You know the dodgeball from the movie? Yeah, yeah.
It's been a lot of fun.
Same here, actually.
It's a little whack-a-mole.
Shoot's back.
There's also one of those sort of rounds for art as well,
where he could incredibly easy,
dive in towards that smoke and just get in to the drop,
and then lose so much control.
I like watching it being like I'd definitely hit someone in this smoke.
Yep.
And in classic art fashion, it makes it work.
Yeah, that's Nadel.
Tag up.
Yeah, first pull accuracy is mental, but Latho on Spackle, one of his own is a ever
slight gap that was brewing on that smoke.
But the way we're looking now, despite using the damage done towards Nissen, surely
this is going to be a tight game of the half.
Yeah, you would assume so. Scooter by AK though. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see. It's still up in the air.
They're looking to crunch middle, which is kind of a clever idea too. I'm sure too, with a boost behind this door's smoke.
Some tires goes down. Prey move. The boost as well gives confidence for those short players to just go contacting in.
Yeah. They have so much to work with. Three flashes round the corner.
I don't know, man. The long range weaponry you feel should be able to come out on top of this one.
Oli and Nade going in there, I believe. Again, a lot more damage done.
Can they even wrestle the bomb plant here? Wax it with a nice shot, I'm sure,
but that is going to be that for the first half, really, really back and forth.
Aurora, I think, will be kicking themselves after such a solid start.
They let it slip through their fingers. We're going to see here in this second half
who could find this very important opening matchup.
I once believed that you were there most of the time
But that was never good enough for me
Let me go in and out of my mind
Let me go in rounds like crazy
But I'm not gonna act this way
What is there always to show?
You said so
You got to feel like crazy
You were always fine
And I was always wrong, waiting
Baby, where did I not go?
Where did I get to see you, loving you, and me?
Should I do what I always find?
And I was always wrong, waiting
Baby, where did I get to see you, loving you, and me?
Where did I not go?
You and I, we break life's walls
You and I, we want love to be here
Forever, remember that we used to be whole
We were so good together
Why can't we both feel the same?
What do I need to restrain?
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
You were there most of the time
And that was never good enough for me
And me going out of my mind
And me going round like crazy
But I gotta end this way
Why is there always a step?
For you to go on
On my way
But I feel like crazy
Cause you were always fine
And I was always wrong
Crazy
Baby, where did I not go?
Alright, welcome back in.
Our givens to you made by a squandered lead by Aurora, they were in a pretty commanding
spot and they just allowed Legacy back in.
That makes it a very interesting second half on the way here with All Tide Square
and Legacy starting to look pretty damn good.
will see they now move of course on towards their T side. There was some rogue moves from legacy of the tailor
nice regression on that CT side and questions kind of replicates it here now
Yes, we'll find out I think this is really gonna be a telling game for these two teams
You know, can they keep the dream alive of?
rolling through stage two to that land portion
really don't want to be going
down 01 in a bracket like
this, especially in a matchup
that you know you could win
both these sides. Sad sin to
find the first they'll break
in towards middle here and head
towards be two players ready
and raring for them flashes
goods and tires will have missed
that player knows about him
though because he took his
teammate down the jewelies
doing God's work. He spins to
take the tunnels player down
absolutely fantastic stuff
with a delivery from above.
He's so robotic with it as well.
Even when he kills the guy until he's on the 118 towards site,
like, his cross is absolutely perfect.
Brilliant.
And it kind of needed as well for Aurora
because of that squandered end.
Three rounds in a row, they let slip.
Five out of the last six.
When you look at these slightly unfortunate situations
of where a nice lead was left begging in a sense.
and she's getting a nice little runway to start off your CT side or massively help.
We didn't initially have a bit of a force by it, but Sadz actually sells the scout.
I think there was a decoy. No. I don't even hear what. I think he was just tempted by the scout
and then he gets told to full eco save here by next. So it might be a bit of a attack pause
or an attack pause, but jog up and eat her. We've got the Brazilians playing football.
Oh, he's got a bit of tech of it.
This is going to send the football hours of human flash to me to you.
He'll pass it out.
Oh, cheeky booster.
Oh, surprise.
Great flash.
Four blind by it.
It's a bit scary for Maja to go in there, I think.
Oh, that means the Molly does its job.
I think he wanted it slightly deeper than that all the same.
Hold on the line. They just need to deny the bomb plant, right? You sometimes see...
...lookby's like they're actually able to force a plant out by like, short or something.
They do a good job of keeping them at bay.
Yes, flawless. There's a lot of money made by the SMGs too.
Absolutely, you'll take it.
Alrighty.
No, that's a terrible spot to be in.
There we go. It's a little flick up. It's making sure it's nothing round really. 8 to 6, a two round buffer, but a first gun round.
Four legacy now. Really important to get something to fall back on for legacy here. Get the two foundations.
Yeah, absolutely. That's it really. You need to convince yourself I think on the C side that you're able to find a gun round
around and not allow Aurora to build up and just keep you in the unknown, the
uncertainty of it all. We'll see here pretty important rifle round then even
though there are a lot of rounds left to go in theory. The utility is not immediate
from Aurora and I'm kind of a fan of that. They hold a lot of it for a while.
Deep smokes, deep mollies.
We'd be very, very curious here as there is still some usage for this first rifle round so far.
It's pretty good. Another smoke towards short as they make themselves note.
Yeah, it's a nice smoke actually. A complete extinguish and because of the smoke as well,
now you can scale up behind it and something that legacy have to be really careful of.
Really cautious as they sort of retreat away.
It's a bombsot committed and that actually feels like an A finish here.
This could be really difficult, they're going to have to go in late.
Still a little bit residual but you still have to work with it as well, that mainly
is on the two players over towards B.
Hedion's Antares Molly will come down, click get one rotating over, Wax it, it's nice
find that Valy's down goes up, flash over again to slow them down to the T side
smoke will trickle. This gives them a bit of space if they want to dive in but this spam
through the smoke which will force them away. 10 seconds! I think we're just saving here.
This round's all but gone. Sol flys somewhere here, he might catch some bodies and he does.
It's just the one but this round's all but done. That's grossly displayed unfortunately
of our legacy. Leading around and slip like that, it's the worst kind of thing
to have. They don't even attempt an excuse because they can't.
Yeah, just looks so awkward and kind of disbelief in, uh,
Paul in the play.
I think they just start moving a bit too late though is the big thing, right?
And then the long player goes down.
They were hoping for him to get out, maybe not even find a kill,
but just like get out and find control there.
Yeah, that's, that's weird.
It is weird.
And look, if they all go down here, if a bomb plant is denied,
11 6 is a real strong possibility and that's a great scoreline to work from not a winning scoreline necessarily as we have seen come back
in this particular series, but
Surely Aurora don't let that happen again. So really important round tip. Yeah, it's kind of
In the realms of make or break or very close to
What damning if they lose it but it's along those lines of kind of this sort of way things have been playing out
You really got a couple of gun rounds. It's kind of work with if things continue this fashion
Comfy lead in Aurora really felt like they've got a number on the CT side
They'll pivot towards be by the looks of things
Three players a cover just though you got one and towards me now a second joining them and to be anchor, so
It's not gonna be an easy move. They're looking at tunnels as well. I
for the main
Part of the hit as we often say not massive fans, but yeah, great timing on that Molly
Else do we have so fly still got a molotov?
Surely this is not happening
Trying to make a move all the same
On the edge. They'll catch one so I'll find ours to be very careful. They've
Left mid actually and he does get overwhelmed so a misread of the situation from Aurora
Will cast them the B bombsite hand round of course. Yeah, that one felt pretty simple
They were burning a lot of youths all in towards short with no real response to it and then still committed to put in the numbers there
It felt pretty clear where they were going
We've got a trapped in towards these fights in in being
The youth will be in front of our Acadia that a great read initially
But they gave one and so fly because he had no mid support. He knows he's so vulnerable
Attention is drawn over there towards doors and I'll be that so I guess he up to a seventh
still staying within arm's reach at the moment.
A couple of rounds, but the grand scheme of things is weird.
So the decent recovery required, because with three saves,
Bannas is still absolutely fine, but yeah, that's not moved there by this.
Duma sharp as ever, but I feel from anchoring the site there like that.
that also off like just isn't a rock and a hard place right it is bodies streaming
on a tunnels and he knows that mids lost even getting one of that situation is a
big ask and one off to beat two round game indeed two round game that's in it
was millimetres that he had to work with they're not able to land anything
Really aggression attempted. Nothing found off the back of it.
There's Aurora. Once again, looking to hold a lot of their utility as much as they possibly can.
Not getting super aggressive, not trying to force control of areas.
There's a very textbook game of Dust2 here, I think in that sense, that it's like slow and hold and
tiny little flash here, tiny little molly here.
Not a lot of in your face thus far
There's a player for all still around spawn so a late retake inshores long
What's taking the open the angle?
It's not too
If I take long control, I'm gonna have to do this late
I'm actually want to bolster up maybe that
eight or short angle
See, Lato is definitely going to be making his way through.
That's a missed joy for us, the needle there, Woxic.
That's unfortunate, there's another move here.
Dumal looked tempted to creep through that smoke himself, Woxic.
Who's they turning to the angle?
He's in going to, I guess, traded maybe even too easily there as well.
Foot across, being held, there's one, but one apiece as Dumal delivers on towards Maja.
And now they can start skidding their way through as R hits a lovely shot with the AWP
and the bomb gets thrown across the ramp.
This round, his legacy is now to lose from this advantage.
Feels like we won a save out of Aurora, but they are giving it a look.
I feel about this. It's slow going, the orb is ready, in towards long and unbeatable angle.
Nobody peeking, soul flight.
So once again, we're in a really, really scary spot for Aurora in particular.
As things are not looking good
We've you know mentioned that this has been a marathon of a series if you want to know how much of a marathon of a series
It's being very my quad O.T. And we've gone all three maps as well
We are
Actually so far behind schedule on the beach trees at the veto for the fourth series
They're like this the second series out of four the veto for the fourth series of the day has just come in
So we still got a third to play and then the fourth and I've already done the veto for the fourth
That is mental. That's how long this series started was it four hours 20 minutes ago. Yeah
still in it
politics
catching flies
We are this is what happens though, man. You know you trade the quick series in the morning
We got chance to have a proper lunch not rushing anything. Yeah
I was like, yeah, yeah.
That joke, and we said as we
crossed the street, I was like,
you know, I'd love a little bit
of something.
Yeah, I love a bit of something
in the second series.
Our opening game of the day was
a bit of an Offenberger.
There was nothing really an
offer.
Charlotte's looked, you know,
very clean, very comfortable
just out on the other.
I was like, I'd like something
to get my teeth into in the
second series.
And yeah, well, the CS score
to give them teeth left.
They give up and take it and they've over given and over fed no more
And honestly this game can still offer up. Yeah, it could that could be an overtime
Yeah, no shame
Yeah, that was a game for four and a half hours into was a series like he's as delirious as we're getting out
That's it
Interesting spot for him. He's all alone
We're gonna go down to go down in time. No, he gets back stabbed
So that'll be the rounds that might be a look in here bits of armor
Maybe soul fly on the M4 or grab a save but like yeah some money to be made for sure
maybe a gun to take away for the lower buying players. But 9-9 here and Aurora have really
lost the magic. Oh for sure. I think there's a real strong chance that legacy could pitch
into the post. Final hurdle if they play their cards right. Some bottom. It's hoping for a
hopeful Tarpy's chance today. Oh and he's going to get it as well. And against Ocadia on that
Deagle. We saw in the previous map how good his Deagle looked. And I felt honestly at times
It was sort of single-handedly keeping a rover in the map.
But...
P9 will die be late.
It's nothing to be gained there at the end.
I don't hate the effort.
You're gonna have a buy-in towards the next of the way,
so why not see if you can print a little bit of cash?
But...
How long ago?
Four hours twenty...
Four hours twenty-four.
Four hours twenty-four minutes ago.
It's a long one, man.
It's a long one.
Can we put along the series we've done in a while?
Yeah, definitely the longest series done in 26.
Yep.
Probably, I don't know about, I don't really, I don't remember getting a Quad OT in towards 25 either.
Yeah Quad, yeah, yeah for sure.
Quad's so rare.
I don't like one.
Maybe.
Somewhere.
Yeah this is, definitely the longest series I've played.
Spirit Miles game, potentially at one point.
I think that might be four.
Okay, maybe.
I've only been three though.
Like I said, I guess we're starting to point at the overtime, so the numbers just blur together.
Yeah.
And you can't really remember, and then you just like,
honestly, I enjoy my job, I kind of just want to get out of here.
Yeah.
Yeah, it may only be half-five, what bedtime's calling.
Mm-hmm. Indeed.
Right.
Big, big, big round. Biggest round of the series, and that's what I'm saying.
And we'll see if it delivers in that way.
Yeah, we'll all lose this.
It might cost them the map honestly. This is such a ball move by the amount
It doesn't take a point of damage
Right I'm saying I've got 20 points of armor as well
Yeah, which does make a difference
It does and he still wins out that fight second time of asking the not to be the information gained and Lato
Might be able to make use of it, which he does one can't get the second, but Soulfly is reeling. He's so low
Just left scrambling now Aurora
They don't quite know
Where to put their resources they pull a player away from long
They're trying to be a person to the middle miss him with the catch on soul fly
He's going transition even though he had mid coverage
I feel like you definitely could have hidden a bit more on the site itself
Off to the moon. Ah, it's done. It's funny, but I'm sure the bomb by the way
So it's funny until it's not
On me too though. Yeah, we'll see what sick. He's got the bomb. He doesn't have the manpower
What would you want here? You'd probably want a mate to help you out
And he isolate these jewels there
Aware of him for sure the other angle. He puts himself in a good spot
Where do you play that right if you walk stick it? He actually needs to
Generally speaking in terms of this you actually want to get a little bit proactive and try and I say the tools or
Only the bomb. I don't even hate that idea
Only on the bottom. Let's just jump in and get it and then they went out the fight as well. Oh
It's it's a big sigh of relief
but a very very important round going the way a legacy a
Rora might have run out of chances late in towards this series. Yeah, you didn't quite realize it
I think the element of surprise was coming straight
Obviously gives him away
There's name a kill so you know if you found a crazy shot on short
potentially we love a good rag ball went on to show these a jump on Xbox
to get himself in the high jump mate the Olympics oh look at this diving towards
lower 3mp9's here have a Molly and a flash as well all nice util that's
being thrown here but some need to be careful he's not even really
considering this at the moment. Now he is... I'll show off the shooter first. Good. Second. Great!
Oh, listen. He hasn't left up his time. He's gone by. What about the third for you?
He actually just about dodges as well. Kind of soul fly. He's sort of chasing.
Not very well. Yeah. Ring around the roses, but a slow game here.
Yeah. An OAP ring around the roses. He's missed him too. On-light.
Oh, I'm going to check it. The weaponry maybe making a different set to be fair.
Yeah, missing. Doing really well. Great position initially.
No, the last is... Some damage onto walk six. Who goes down? Long range.
Looking good. Looking very, very good here.
As I think you maybe got it exactly right, you know Aurora running out of energy and just their last chance
Yeah, stronger by this one's gonna be a bit dodgy in places again double or obviously some questions and
just really swinging a prayer type stuff
So made on the cross. I don't know if look back in with the old that was close
So if it's what's wrong though, maybe Lato feeling confident with the secondary or on the T side by the way
Yeah, we'll get taken down not the best of games for him actually
But yeah, I wonder whether he was trying to use as a member crutch because he has been shrugging a little bit
I felt spawn base right yeah, he long like that. Surely has to be spawn based
Give me the old captain send me in there coach
All for naught
Who am I waiting for an over extension towards short?
For now, nothing being given up.
I can just leave the orb.
There's three orbs on the CT side.
And Tara's, Wukadia, and Woxig.
Honestly, that might be too much.
Like, they could actually get overwhelmed there.
Say, Molly and Tor's Goose.
Bombs are committed either way.
They're creeping their way forward.
Here do we want to finish it?
Honestly, a B.E. Lean would not be a bad idea.
This is holding.
They know they've still got this Tunnel of Control,
and they've also now got Mid-Control too.
They just don't have the right utility
after the smoke going down to the proper execute.
They really should have to dive in
off the back of one flash on smoke.
Nice break on the smoke as well.
And a nice shot by Woxic.
Down goes Dumow.
I think it's all she wrote in this one sad to know hit the deck and the last man who was the lurking presence
Assistant they know he's a tunnels guy. You surely dead to write as well. He is okay the second time of asking sees him off
Stay alive Aurora. This is a slog of a game, but they are still kicking somehow
That felt like the death rattle round of Aurora in particular
We do manage just about to find a second wind.
The heroic attempt to stay alive does indeed pay off against all of the odds.
Legacy we'll still be able to buy here though, so it could break the hearts quite quickly
if they find success.
Radiant trained in waiting for an orb at the top end of it all, and he gets mollied
out as well.
He's in play here, forced the AWP back, a bit of control.
Quite enough happening just yet though, legacy.
It's a conventional round by the looks of things so far.
Oh, nice tag.
Yeah, honestly a good reaction.
Could even stay trained on the angle as well.
Pass them, drop it on towards Xbox, but he gives it the respect.
This is such an important amount.
There's still money left over for Aurora if they were to lose this, and same for Legacy,
so it kind of feels like facing a buyer regardless of whoever wins this one, but Legacy 24 Map
Point and Series, too far back as well, diving towards Window, nice find by 2 miles,
looking for a second and you'll get it, that's the peace site to make it all the
more better.
it already holding four rotations with an AWP, but we'll get planted. There is a
late flank coming. It's magic making its way towards tunnels. You'll get that
space for free. What sides they can do really? Ah, the boost though, man. Really,
really smart. They're ready for tunnels at the right time. Nysim having a
fantastic map here and it will come to fruition 12 to 10. Feels like enough
has been done right. The immediate return round onto Aurora, some dejection over there.
And indeed, things looking good. I mean, it's tough. Aurora have lost as we say that. X Factor
may have managed to just about battle back here. Last time out. Last time out is really
going to be curious if they've got anything left up their sleeve. I can see themselves
actually have all three by the way. So that's certainly interesting that they've not used
any just yet.
Yeah, I can assume they'd use a few in the first but just when they felt like probably
the prime moment to use attack time out, they actually started to find a bit of form and
it's kind of being back and forth enough that we should just let them do their thing.
opportunity to slow the roll here but Aurora I got two rounds back-to-back on
the CT side open play for Woxic with a glass cannon no Utah no armor this is
all move to be making and just an MP9 for him as he picks up a little bit more
in the Utah battle to make up for some of the others on his side
I will never for Aurora to stay alive and on the brink of being upset here. Yeah, I'm asking you. So I'm the first sweep from that
So yeah, oh, not a good start. That's what Katie of all people as well
Not being the greatest a matter for we know how important he is
And the impact they can deliver so not gonna have that in this round he has to watch from the grave from the gray screen
Hope that his teammates can pull it off yet
that. That's it off angle.
Utility coming over. Will
there be a flash good enough
for him? It's all by himself
on this island able to find
the first and the second
captain gets a big double kill
to maybe give them away back
in. Not over just yet though.
Needed to trade that.
My jet sticks around maybe a little bit too long just to take another tag.
What is the play?
35 seconds and the bomb is going back to B. I guess it's going to be a 1v2 to test
Soulfly on the site and they're going to hope that side sink can catch players in rotation.
He's going to post it.
Will they clear the barrels?
I don't think you look here traditionally.
Down goes one.
The trade still hasn't happened.
and soul flies gonna get both
missed shot by sadson
All the more worse. I mean just carnage in some of these rounds
Sloppy mistakes and a raw or stay alive great effort in the end there as well because my just doubles really really important
Continues to gain information and then soul fighters super well
She never go away
trade this. Now if we're going off trend it'll be a return round from legacy so
Roro have got to break that trend they got to break that science. Oh I think
we're going to tech pause. I'm losing it I'm going delirious. I'm yeah trying to
keep it together. Count to 10.
They are
four hours 35 into wars. This series has gone so long, like we
said, you know, it's gone on so long that we've actually
ordered the Vita come through for the fourth series of the
day, but it's gone on so long that they're nearly in the
fourth series on the ashram. We've still we're a whole
nearly a whole series and a bit behind. At the moment,
it's looking like G2 are very much on track to take in a
I'm just squished to zero that it do be like that once in a while easily one of the longest games I've casted in such a long time and safe to say I am that kid.
sure. Yeah, things are shaping
up pretty well. Maybe an
exciting finish into the
overtime. It's just, you know,
I have this feeling that it's
going to go like four over times
again, and that's where the
excitement dwindles a bit. The
chaos picks up. Maybe it does
get crazy. But again, like I
That doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does it?
Double-Tech 9, triple-AK, a lot of heavy lifting, gotta be done by the AKs in particular, we're looking to do them out on this sim.
They've both actually had really decent maps, and we call upon them here.
Look, smoke by the T side.
How much that drags over rotations.
So far, none.
They're going for a quite quick B spin, but leaving CT open, Zontaris will find the first
head while Wikipedia are on high here, ready for a lurking presence and he's going to find
success.
Looks like overtime written in the stars here, lots of damage run onto these remaining
three players as well.
And we do go again, it's Nistim all alone.
A wild series, a long series.
When will we be free from these shackles?
I'm tired boss, I'm tired.
I'm tired.
Oh my goodness.
Oh man.
One eternity later.
It's time again.
One agility later.
Time again.
I can't believe it.
This is the game that never ends.
We're in purgatory here.
What did I do to deserve this?
I just, the series goes, I asked you for a little bit of more of a game.
Sorry.
Into the second series.
I didn't expect it to be this much of a game.
Oh man, this is absolutely marathon. And you know what? If it was a marathon of super clean kind of track, would it matter? But it's, it's done quite sloppy.
Because of a quadruple over time, because of Aurora, like, losing where they were expected to win, and I think, you know, even they were like, oh, damn, okay.
And now we've had another turn around in a sense of like a pretty one side of the fare,
um, resulting in another overtime start for Aurora onto the CT side, set them up in really good stead.
But then it was legacy riding the wave.
Wokshiki's got other things to say. Waking up into the OT, it would see.
Yeah, nice to see.
Wokshiki's coming alive at a great time.
This is where he can start to peek. He looks like he puts himself in a good
position. I'll scoop up the AWP.
Move back in towards me to smoke for the cross. Oxi would kind of love somebody
to break that for him. The neat thing is that the nades in the back pocket of
the soft fly and he's towards B. They're gonna take a couple of hopeful
and I hope that they catch something but nothing to find at the moment were Kadia first to fall and same for Salfly
B-Sites open, how of legacy recovered this round after the initial double from Woxic
I thought it was dead to rights already, but now they've got a retake
B-Site Dostu statistically the hardest site in the pool to claim back. Maja
Dicks in the molly, it's Nissem who just bites his time another flasher is waiting
poking your head up here is a hazard it's all about as an eight-timey he can
land up three here he doesn't even know it when will he peak his head now
and he lands the fall off, miss him, nuclear from him on the b-side patience is a brilliant
thing from him he had so many opportunities where he could fight and he
waits he holds so long that Aurora just overlooked the angle he continues
to have a fantastic dust 2. Will it be good enough to take them over the
The line in the end. Time will most certainly tell. Time out immediately from Aurora as
they have got to sort things out before this OT gets away from the moment to cool off, a
moment to reconsider and recalibrate. You're getting vocal. Bring things together as best
he possibly can. It's easier said than done in a legacy. Who missing slightly, but when
it works, it looks really quite nice and, you know, that's a fantastic round for them
to be nicking away.
It's a great recovery. Never should have happened off the back of Wachtingen in a
double opener. And even actually on the retake it for a very, very brief moment
being a one versus three is European double on the retake went the way off the CT
side, but...
25-15 for him.
Electric performance.
Doom R being leading the way.
Shading that we're seeing the likes of Lato and Art.
Struggle a bit.
Those guys were online, there probably wouldn't be that much of a competition here, but the same arguing can be made on the flip side is...
under performance by Wikipedia, especially compared to what we saw in map number two. Pop shot and a tag.
It's then Torres for the first. There's a few more drops. That's an important frag to find.
Yeah, pretty solid stuff there. Again, looking to just keep things closed, keep things answering back.
That's how creeping up to try and be this entry fragger here.
it, so we'll come in and force him back that player in Zantara's will hear a fair amount
down below.
Oh, the nades to finish off Lato looking pretty good for Aurora here, but again, I'm not
going to hold my breath too much.
These rounds are apparently winnable.
Don't count the chickens for their heart showing we've learned the lesson of the
previous round and from many many many around in this series. Over until it's
over. Loxic missed shots, one of the only crossed as well. He's under a lot of
pressure here. Smart move would be to kind of barrel down his position. Tara is
making a move as well without working his favor. We'll have to see first
found by Sands and his Nissen Mosul adds one. There's a lot of plants to
come through. There's a big flank coming in towards short. Nissen, or if he
He hit that, there might have been a chance, but down he'll go and it's all on the shoulders of Art.
He's had a really slow map, but he's had a not a bad series overall.
Now is the time to shine.
Zantarez is barely alive, he's stuck in towards CT and he's now all that's left.
It's whoever hits this first bullet. Art versus Zantarez, and it's Zantarez who comes out on top.
Just about skin of their teeth.
It's high square again, 13 apiece.
Crazy, crazy stuff.
Seven kills to art's name.
The opportunity was right there to move up to nine when a big one be too for his team.
But somehow against the can't do it.
Wild over here. It's absolutely wild.
It seems crazy work as he swaps to the open nearly nearly
finds his player on short as well.
It is crazy.
It is similar in a way to the last time out,
like so hard to split these two teams.
Nobody seems deserving of rounds.
Nobody seems dominating here in the OT.
It may well have a bit more left in the tank.
I took the set at like nine eight
or something on those lines that it breached the OT
and I sort of set a tongue in cheek
but you did have that feeling about this game.
You decide really in kind of conclusive control.
Same thing here, Nadell.
Bit of damage towards Latto and he'll respond with a Molly of his own.
It's a legacy look for options.
It's 2-1-2 split across the B mid positions.
Luke won't effect Magia so he has a bit of a gap to work with.
I'd be all for no. It looks like they were setting up to hit A, but as I say that, they're going to double back, so back to B maybe the play.
Even late though, 35 seconds. They don't really give themselves much room for error.
I've seen this a few times from Legacy to be honest with you. Just unsure of where they want to finish and how they want to do it.
gap above with this boost, Majer, oh, able to get one.
It's Santaris who chimes in for another,
looking really great there.
As he's able to just work off of the information,
the bomb's been spilled, there's only two remaining, of course,
so really going to be against the odds, that's in.
How all alone, they know exactly where he is.
He can't spin fast enough,
and it's Aurora just squeezing out a lead.
God, they've been made to work for it.
And a loss here for legacy
would be a massive squander opportunity.
As we've mentioned, there are plenty of times for legacy.
It feels like they've let opportunities slip on by the wayside,
and this could be the same thing here.
They were in a position where it felt like they could close this out.
They let a couple go at the tail end of regulation,
and now in towards OT,
they find themselves at a deficit heading in towards the second half.
Aurora on the C side,
need two rounds from three played
to see it off.
I feel like we get a real feeling about it in this first of legacy find it I think a double
OT might be required it might be very akin to that inferno nice name will key yet easily
a max damage made them hit some data 46 he takes a little one more point of damage off
the second perfect name versus worse name wonders funny 56 whatever it was and
54. Big Muff.
Brain is...
Yeah, it's very much incredibly smooth brain at the moment.
It's published nice and clean, but
it's barely functioning on a...
this light in towards this series.
Grouped up at short, 50 seconds left on the clock.
We've seen slow rolls from legacy.
Aurora have to be careful not to dwindle that clock too much.
They've got a lot of utility still remaining though.
So one good solid A hit is exactly what the doctor may well have ordered.
However, a replenished smoke is not a good omen.
Art playing close to it.
He had a crazy play in regulation on this one.
They break through though.
They're used to his shenanigans by now.
I think they will just fly in and hopefully defy the odds, but Aurora should have 15 die. You're absolutely spot on this should be mapping series point here for Aurora.
This feels like near impossible retake, but why wouldn't you give it a go? You're gonna have to buy into us next round anyway to give this one a look in.
to give this one a look in.
Listen, I had a great map.
He's trying to lead the charge and draw some space out,
but it's an AWP on the angle,
and there's nothing you can do,
and it's a double swing that lets major a kill.
Up series point Aurora.
And as much as I want to say,
surely this must be it with a couple rounds
and a rears to close it out.
You can never say never in this series,
but honestly, it's really good to do this.
Like that angle for Madge is quite good.
that second angle onto those boxes as well.
Declare both of those quite aggressive CT positions
actually as effectively as they did.
Really well done from Aurora, not letting up,
not letting small things slip through the net.
All down to this very early B presence by Aurora.
They're all right, he's died out here
and they're up, they're going to send
Rokadia straight into the fray.
Determinate for the first as Miss Gets caught
and they might want more,
behind it as well. There he is! The potential betray. That forgets two.
What is going on man? It's absolutely wild now. They're still not managed yet.
There's looking to try and get it but it's not going to happen. It will indeed be the
around and the game and the series going the way of the Turkish side Aurora super
super clean stuff in the end game itself may be robbing us of quick finish in this
series I suppose for everybody involved I'm sure the players are absolutely
knackered after that one you know imagine the intensity of it all nearly
five hours for that series folks but ultimately it is Aurora to take it
over the line as they did the last time these guys met in that B05 at Food for Rest.
Yeah, just shy of a five hour series, just ten minutes off. That is absolutely bonkers.
You know, in these long drawn out series as well, credit kind of to both of them as well,
especially to Aurora in towards overtime. I really thought it was a worry that they could start
to squander opportunities and slip through, but you can see what it means to see that one off.
It's only the first round here in stage two, but grinding at a win like that,
It's really important for Aurora.
Side of that, shaky amounts of confidence,
shaky results as well.
That is really gonna bolster you up,
heading in towards the stage two for legacy.
You kinda hope that they aren't really too disheartened
at the same time because they've just taken,
you know, a very decent team to distance.
But again, I think for both sides,
they can look back in that series
and say there was so many squandered opportunities.
That was not clean counter strike by any means.
There's a lot to work on,
heading into the deepest ages of pro league
for both of these sides.
Yeah, and that's the danger, you know,
when you play with the chaotic elements,
sometimes they can kind of work against you.
And, you know, when you go on the instincts
and maybe there's not as many protocols in place
and whatnot, it can get the better of you.
And a lot of what we see on that map for me actually,
looking at the scoreboard here, it's the fragging.
You know, if we have Lato and we have R up there
hitting bigger numbers, then maybe they would,
well, they probably would have taken it.
And the thing is, Legacy as a team,
maybe similar to like Foot that we saw earlier,
they rely on those numbers.
They rely on winning early fights
winning the initial first bullet, right?
Whereas Aurora might have a little bit more technicality to them.
That's it, mate. That was only our second series of the day.
We have two more games of Counter-Strike here on the B-Stream.
Well, at the same time, I think the game on the A-Stream
is nearly coming to a close.
That's the third game over there coming to a close.
We've got plenty more Counter-Strike to follow up next.
We've got the Mongols taking on pain.
This one has all the makings of being an equally bizarre
and brilliant game of Counter-Strike,
We're gonna have to wait and see.
Thankfully for myself and Scrib,
I'll throw a long, long day.
We're done for the day.
So we're gonna throw over to our wonderful co-gasters
of James Bartholth and DDK
to round out the rest of the B stream.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

Our love was a chance encounter, A glance across the stream,
Fleeting moments, two strangers meeting that swept me off my feet
Golden leaves under an autumn sun, you talked about the movies and how you like the gun
A life we'd together through all kind of weather
And our hearts grew strong
Our love was a chance encounter
A glance across the street
Fleeting moments, two strangers meeting
The buzz of traffic, the bright city lights,
You talked about marriage, who you'd invite.
We talked for hours and I brought you flowers,
And our hearts were strong.
and I brought you flowers and our hearts were strong
How can something so special
Being near and happenstance
Was it destiny calling
Or just life's little dance?
Or love was a chance encounter
A glance across the street
Fleeing moments, two strangers meeting
That swept me off my feet
That swept me off my feet
Oh
me for bringing it down.
Because you like to think you're better than me.
If there was a way to tell you,
I'd be making never mind.
You don't even know what hair looks to me.
And you don't even feel it care to try.
Your time is coming, so stop running.
You're going to have to listen to me
We're rearranging
It's not changing
Dima cried now's the time
I can't take it, won't take it no more
Cause the words you say are killing to me
So get to keep on bringing it down
Cause you like to think you're better than me
Told me God was so commanding
Cause I want what's saying is true
And I asked and I begged and I pleaded
Tell me what am I to do
And I'm taking
I'm going to be back. And just
like that we are back change of
casters as the other two have
died of exhaustion. So it'll be
done and I take you through the
remainder of the day. Boy that
was a lot of over times in that
series. I was watching that
inferno. Things got really
crazy really heated if you're
coming up. That's our third
match on the B stream. Pricky.
This is going to be a long
date. If you're if you're
sitting here and watching all
the matches, then respect
because my word that was that
was a slog hard work indeed
with an underscore.
Let's have a look at the
Swiss stage and see how
things are looking at the
moment.
Yeah, I think I think I mean
match was quite a slog, wasn't it? Overall, I managed to actually take it over legacy. It's interesting in a phase,
isn't it? She too. So, you know, we've been having some interesting results across the board. I think Astralis
beating fit. I think it's actually pretty interesting as well. So, yeah, I think so. I think it's a pretty solid win
for the Astralis boys. XT stands rise up. And, you know, if you have to get started as well. So, and I
start, I don't think there's anything too crazy here just yet. But of course, there's three matches left to
play in round one. So the crazy, well, I suppose the last series was crazy in of itself, but
I don't think I think you know, you feel like it's crazy that Aurora would be able to be
legacy that. But Mongols and Payne is either really interesting matchup. James, I'm really
happy that we get to do this one because you know, the Mongols are such a fun team
to see. And I think Payne is they have a pretty high ceiling. Obviously, they made
it this far and a lot of their matches didn't look too tricky. You know, going into
the previous Swiss brackets play that we've been doing so far at the ESL Pro League.
So here are the Stage 1 results for Payne, the VSM edition, I'm told. So it didn't start
so well for them, but able to claw things back quickly. And again, there's a few 2-0s
there, including the 0-2, but that G2 game was down to the wire, but that was a huge
to take it to zero and secure G twos pick as well was pretty solid. So that was their stage one situation, but moving to stage two, they have a very tough opponent in Mongols very high ranks. And indeed, we'll see if I don't know if this is a real picture of or if they've done some like AI,
like AI because he's always smiling. So I don't know how they got that image, but indeed it doesn't
get easier on the run in pro league for pain. It doesn't, but it is really interesting as a test
because as you say G2, a top 10 team, I think they are 10th. And then the Mongols is currently
seventh. So, you know, we'll see how far our pain can can stretch them. I think, of course,
you know, we're going to be thinking about the maps pretty soon here as we get into that
And once we see the maps, we will be able to have more of an understanding as to where
pain are in terms of their competency against this lineup.
Because I've got to say, I think one of the biggest surprises to me with pain was their
ability to win the Mirage against G2.
That was a pretty shocking result.
So if they can provide performance and surprise performances like that against the Mongols
here, we could be in for a really, really fun game.
So I know that some people are still reeling from the from Senzu not being on this squad
anymore, but new man CobraZera is here and we're comparing him to Peria for pain as well
who's new man for pain.
So these are the ones to watch for this series 1.02 rating each in 2026 thus far we'll see
how it changes or what it looks like in the vacuum of this series.
you know pain we're an underdog going into that previous match and indeed I think that will definitely continue going up against the likes of the
Mongols still a strong team despite
the absence of
Senzu so still you'll see if they can
Deliver on their current rank this is how the teams ranked each other
So I mean you can see like if you look at the Mongol side pain are very close to the bottom in the rankings
the power rankings from from Mongols and I think that's you know
So, I mean, again, HLTV ranks is 7 versus 17, so it might not be as far away as it looks,
but we'll have to see. I think that'll be up to Payne to show us if they are far away
or if they are close enough to be able to bring a shop to the system for Mongols, perhaps.
Yeah. I mean, if you looked at where G2 were on that power ranking two, they were
not far away from Mongols in terms of positions. So given that Payne were able to beat
G2 obviously doesn't translate one-to-one like that because you always have to consider the styles of the teams and
And they're you know the approaches that might differ and how that's more suitable
Certain matches are more suitable and so on but but still like you know
I think I think what we're seeing is a pain that's punching above their weight so far in terms of form
This tournament and so that's one of the reasons why I think they're a really nice team to watch and want to keep your eye on and
If they were to get and a surprise upset victory against the Mongols here
That's going to go pretty far in their chances to advance in this new Swiss bracket that we've started now.
You can Mirage as the beginning maps.
80% for Payne, but only five maps played.
Again, it's a question mark for the sample size.
50% for Mongols with six maps played.
So again, that might be a wide open series heading over to Mirage,
about just shy of 60% for Mongols, which is a fairly strong stat with nine maps played.
I'm not afraid for pain in their 44% inferno as a decider new look inferno
Will be interesting to see lack of graveyard will we see more retakes if we get there?
We shall see so plenty of inferno in that previous match. Maybe we'll see more now and I
Think that's the biggest smile we've seen yet from BSM
So we'll see if he's smiling by the end of the series or even by the end of nuke
Which will be the pick of pain again. They'll be on the high after their
the previous match may be expecting to do it in three, but a chance of doing it into do it into they did
They like some late T rounds
Sometimes it feels like they're playing train like classic train maps, but on different maps on the T side where
Kind of concealing their intentions not necessarily hunting too hard for that first pick
But just moving through a site with some 30 seconds to go
will see how that works against the Mongols. Should that be what they choose to do? But
again versus G2 and overtime, they did change the pace to great effect. So they do have the
self-awareness, which I think is a great tool to have in their shed. But will there be enough
tools to deal with Mongols? What do you think, Dan?
Well, I mean, yeah, it's obviously the Mongols are absolutely the favorites. I do think,
like I said in the previous series where we've seen Payne, that Payne have all
the pieces. I think that can
allow them to have success,
even maybe an upset against a
team like the Mongols. Obviously,
you know beating G2 know whether
they did. If pain are able to
improve their form as. The
competition moves on, which,
you know, can typically happen,
then there's still some gears to
go to that could allow them to
at least take a map off of the
Mongols for sure. I definitely
think that's possible, but of
course the Mongols are out of
being at the higher heights of Counter-Strike competition for quite some time now.
So, you know, Pain have a lot to fight against.
And one extra thing that is in their favour, though,
is that they are the heavy underdogs.
I think there is something to be said for that mentality
that allows you to have a little bit less pressure on your shoulders.
And so it begins very good, unsurprisingly, for Pain on this one.
But it's an interesting prospect and one that's hard to gauge when you have a clear underdog.
It's not a case of wall day, but could they?
And I honestly don't know what my own answer is to that.
It was a very pleasant surprise to see how pain dealt with G2 on that second map yesterday.
Especially in overtime, in a self-awareness super important, and so you know, is clearing
the ramp.
But they, yes, will they probably not in the first round of this series then, because he's got much to do, ace required, ace denied after one frag.
Mongols off to a good start then on Nuke here, and to quickly go over the maps in terms of the win percentages and so on.
Obviously the teams are playing different qualities at the moment.
moments that Mongols are playing tier one opponents pretty consistently but in the last three months on nuke
You know there are 50% with six mass played and the pain there you're 80% with five maps played
So definitely a comfortable map for both teams for sure
Did you go to an event in Mongolia or was that Kazakhstan Kazakhstan man, I want to go to both
I'm so curious to see sure to see what the
The counter-strike scene is like considering the players and the teams that we have coming
out of those places, but we don't really know much about them.
It's easy to do like a mini doc in documentary in Europe or North America, but people don't
really like English speakers if you will, don't really know anything about those scenes.
And if I had it my way, I would send the crew out to find out what about the land
cafes and so on.
Like when we when we started doing our leagues in Los Angeles instead of doing them in London
I went to the land cafe where nothing used to play it doesn't exist anymore
But I went there and played Counter Strike at a cafe where he used to when he was a young lad
Which I which I quite enjoyed, you know little exploration and law like that. There's almost an industrial estate
But yeah, the likes of Kazakhstan and Mongolia. I want to go and find out for myself
What's the what the scene is like?
over there what the accessibility is like there'll be some damage
with the stock weapons here minimal damage done for the CT squad so they'll be fine
with that but we've seen after success of big events you know crowds waiting at
the airport like the government is aware of what's going on and so on so I
want to see I want to see the roots I want to see the lifeblood I want to
to see where the pulse is.
Well, now finally the pulse is going to start to rise, I think, in this match.
We've got full by-round for both sides with the sets,
you know, technically still on the MP9, no AWPs out just yet, but.
So the typical counter utility that
he's actually throwing a lot of smokes outside.
Oh, good catch there from Peria through the door, unpunished so far.
Trevor Zero really wants to try to equalize, but actually gives himself up to the gillil.
So that's a 5v3 early in favor of hang gaming here as they're trying to make these T sides, converts.
So much time to capitalize on this.
And they're really careful in these scenarios, they don't turn the heat up too much, they
don't run too quick, they're not looking to make a mistake and throw their advantage away.
So once spotted outside, basically keeping the CTs on it while they still have time,
they are spread very very thin, it's going to be so difficult for them to support each
other again snow looking to be a nuisance and be nuisance he will death by paper
cuts for the remainder of the mongol squad see what Techno is able to do second
duel will be one too many get confidence in the squad as well being very vocal
their pain that will be necessary to topple the likes of mongols
pretty clean rounds here. I mean, that's adjustment there from snow outside. And the pain looking
pretty sharp. Right from the get go here getting that first T round on the board. So as early
as this is pretty threatening, but 9 10 pulls up the AWP now. So we'll see what dynamic
shifts will get. It's gonna be a garage position to start off with looking outside. But they
We'll get the T smokes looking to obscure some of the vision
And you can see no movement
You've got to be very careful about these these timing HEs you can see it's got a double layered there
You think as a T maybe that first H is it and you can move safely
But there's a second one and it looks like paying up very aware of this
So this is that slow T side that you're talking about James that can help to pay off for them
If 9-10 is able to find something, while there's time, that could be in their favour if he
can offer them a nasty surprise and they still have map control if say ramp is not compromised
and there's space for him to rotate and there's great potential, but look at that
Utility towards the ramp is going to pull that second CT out of position, but the ultimate play is over towards A.
Very simple, but could be very effective if they can win these jewels.
9-10 is able to land and deliver the shot.
That will leave NQZ in 1 versus 2. 30 seconds. He has a chance.
Making his way through.
There's the first one. 20 seconds and maybe Emzina will start to sweat now. He's got the UMP.
Perhaps we'll get an upgrade on the rotation.
If that small detail is able to pay off for pain
Now where is MZ note?
Deliverated himself pretty quickly, he's spotted there though, awkward for both
But NQZ is able to deliver, that was a key one for pain
Again, very simple, some well timed utility towards the ramp
Paul's one of the players off the A bombsite to rotate for support.
I think that might have been 9-10.
He's still able to get back towards A to stop the bombsite from being fully taken.
Jules ultimately won by pain and I think this might break among goals for the time being.
What a great clutch from NQZ at 1v2.
It's always a good sign because he is winning clutches.
And they just have to convert now against these pistols.
Outside smokes again to obscure the plan plan is hidden behind the Iron Curtain I'm
I'm subtly rooting for pain a little bit just because I kind of believe in this
roster it's nice when you see hard work pay off like a team's clearly putting
in an effort and has attention to detail you want to see that succeeds versus madfraggers
little more elaborate it's subtle that's a little more elaborate than simply surging into a site
going for the upper heads here isn't that useful to you good effects but these picks are
A little bit slow and that's gonna maybe be painful does by some time for the other CTs to rotate into position
So though the weaponry advantage should hopefully be enough here for pain
They are taking losses though three versus three still 30 seconds
So it's not too desperate and they're going for a plans now this this is still quite a winnable round here for the Mongols as
They routed the forces in lobby
There is an AK collected by Tecmo
NQZ doesn't want to allow him to hold on to that one is able to take him down
It's a really important kill, but another frag hard here.
NQZ once again delivering with the wall bang.
And now a 1 vs 1, AK vs AK here.
There's a defuse pressure.
The peak has to come through, and it's going to be a wrap, but that was damage and a half.
A lot more damage than Pane 1 did to receive.
Yeah, it looked like a crazy wall bang.
I think it might have been bigger 0 on the other side, but it was a good rotation
from Teknoe there.
He knew they dropped a T in the heart, so rotate it over from Squeaky to collect
that rifle. We try to squeeze everything they could from that one. We'll see. Pain looking
good early and that's good from the perspective of having a competitive map as they're the
underdog series even. We've seen good stuff here. We've seen good team play. Yeah,
bigger zero from a different angle. So we've seen good team play. We've seen individual
prowess and clutching. So yeah, painter ready. I think they're beyond the
nervous stage. They know they are capable and they are showing that at the moment.
They have made a beautifully awful start for Mongols, which is exactly what you want at the beginning
of nuke. Yeah, it can be so hard to get going once CTs establish a lot of economy. So yeah,
these these are precious rounds early here for paying for short. Now the m4s come out
no AWP is available to the money limitations. But NQZ on the other side for pain will have
the orp. So that's going to be a change of how these rounds might be played out here
dedicated or per for the team.
Here we are once again looking for these openings from door and he's going to go down the vent.
But hello, there's techno right there on the ladder.
He's like, what are you doing?
One goals were so unlucky when Blitz jumped over past squeaky hit the wall and got wrecked
in an earlier round.
They didn't give up that frag.
Who knows how the start might have been.
And he'll be traded outside in round six.
Now, is this a one and done spot for 9-10?
He is being looked for.
Oh, the trigger discipline!
He almost got three!
That's definitely an overdelivery from him.
Mega work, mega, mega work.
They were even covering the possibility, but he was in a position to win.
That's a huge round for one goals early.
I could make WP as well if they want it.
But you can't pop this, right?
Yeah, that was unfortunate for Kane.
Definitely put them pretty far back in this round.
I said that, but three, three economy is kind of broken now for Kane.
They have the hero AK.
It is a force by so getting the bomb down is always very very nice to be able to deal on the ramp like this
See if they can do it
Looking to mostly be in lobby at the moments
That is smoked off the entrance to ramp. So
It's gonna be a hard way through onto ramp. Oh, maybe not. That's a headshot. It's a very nice headshot from NQZ
I'm not sure if it's a good
question mark.
like in the box like metal gear solid. Yes. Oh, he's been spotted.
That exclamation mark. Oh, all right, then.
There's so much potential in these awkward situations.
WP is still in existence here in the hands of BSM.
We'll see if he's got anything if we'll even be needed.
Cobra zero stuck on the bomb sites.
with the bomb. I suppose they're coming. Well, I think he's just facing his teammate there.
Who's going to peek first then?
Did he go together? Did he have any idea where he is? Oh, wow. BSM totally sacrificed himself.
He died for his country. He just wanted to pull the crosshair away so the trade is all
but guaranteed. That is so smart. Just think about that at home, what he just
did there. He just wanted to get as far away from his teammate as possible so the
AK could do what needs to be done. Genius. The sacrificial lamb right there. Put him on a plate.
Yeah, that was a really nice round from Payne. And once again, NQZ is the guy that has to get
these clutch frags right at the end with the AKs. And he's going to get his ult back.
So the ult has exchanged hands a few times now. And here he is on top of the silo.
Seeing if he can find anything. The Mongols, a little bit worse for wear on the buy, but
It is the Mongols after all, so I'm sure that they'll be able to turn this into something.
Just got to give them an opportunity to do so.
Cautious approach outside once again.
I mean, we saw how much damage the Mongols did with basically nothing
in around like this.
So 3M4 is the Eagle, 5-7 is very dangerous.
And the lobby position is now under attack potentially.
CT is looking to split into this.
BSM seems ready. But he's going to get double peaked here. He needs some assistance. The
spray transfer is not enough.
You can see he's holding the off angle to avoid the prefire as well. But his teammate was
unable to support him. Only Cobra's lost. So three remain for pain. They have good
Good map control though, that's the bomb spotted making its way down towards secret.
See Techno keeping a keen eye on things, no nades to throw, they just want the information.
Pistols putting themselves in dangerous positions as we head to the sub 30 second mark.
There is a monotov to throw but it won't be where these players are standing.
They have time to clear out the bomb site and they're going to cross fire.
I'm going him so you know if the Deagle will be good enough for one and there are rifles on the way
14 seconds to plant a bomb. There's the cover from the AWP gone
He can't plant. There's no way he plans to bomb now. There's absolutely no way he has done for
Running out of bullets as well. Oh, does he have a chance? I can't believe he's actually found a way to make this work
Three frags so oh
Whoo down to the wire my gods. Oh
Oh no, that's crazy.
That is so crazy.
It's going to be milliseconds of difference to making that plan or not.
That was so close.
Again, these rounds seem to be the most difficult for the team to win.
Perhaps they're giving, maybe they need to speed up the pace or there's a change
that they need to make in that respect.
I think in part, in part, I think it is partly because Mongols are very, very
good at I mean they're extremely lethal and very fast themselves but by the way
we'll see what NQZ can do. He did obviously get to save his AWP. Good trade
though VSM again with the Tech 9 and that's a couple guns that can be
collected but Enzino might have other ideas here as he comes back in with
the Famous from Secret. Is this checked? This must be checked or it will be very
very difficult the pain. It was not checked. I was wondering if if there might be a flash
for him depending on positions in utility. For Cobra to peek from the stairs. I don't
think anyone else in pain is going to have the the sheer prowess that in case he does
on the AWP. So that was a really important frag considering the AWP is still in the
hands of pain. A lot of time here and there is there is some guesswork. Here is the gamble.
Snow dropping from Cobra. All right. What else have you got? Snow to remain. Now the CTs
have a better idea as to where the T's are. There's a reasonable chance that pain
there on a two versus one. So the snow go in first is VSM ready to trade. Oh, they
on the long way with 30 seconds this is gonna be very very close. I think from a
positional standpoint though this this should actually end up being the best
move but like you say the the one trade-off is time. So at least they're not
gonna be close to Techno they can guarantee to get the bomb down. Well
okay a kill on Techno that is great work from snow and MZenio needs to go
up the vent. Here he goes. He is in the open, but snow wasn't ready to trade just yet. Oh,
he comes around. That's a great shot again. I don't know if I'm ever thinking of him as
an offer, but maybe I should. He hit some excellent shots that run. I think that's three kills
with the AWP man like snow. Let's go. I think we saw a desk punch there as well. That
first Frank was so sick from NQZ. You gotta take some risks. They're completely exposed
to garage. I mean, he had the man, them behind them as well, but snow is just
putting in work. It's like, yeah, look at me.
It gives you this little boy. Take this girl out.
I think this is the same AWP that was bought in like round three
as well or whatever it was. That's just kind of traded hands.
I think only one AWP spoon bought the whole game, but
it's just been in a go from team to team.
I think I'm pretty sure it's on some damage.
managed is racked up some kills. That would be an interesting right. Maybe it wouldn't
be an interesting set to have, but you could have it. So why not? True. I'd be interested.
Faster pace against the pistols. We talked about that, James, maybe, but this guy that
could be a response potentially because he slow rounds against pistols have been problematic.
Obviously, there's more ways to deal with that than just haste, but let's- oh, okay.
There's a trade at least.
Every round is dangerous.
This game of nuke.
round to be amenable, viable regardless from what we've seen so far.
I'm going to write an email to Valve. But before I do that, let's see what happens
here.
We're going to go straight through the smoke, 910 is running distraction, now can there
be trigger discipline for Blitz, he's got threats in multiple directions, pinning the
numbers up, but it's down to a 2-1-2, Piri are spotted, he's the bomb carry up, they
know where the objective is, they don't necessarily know where VSM is, he's E-N-E-R,
He is desperately looking for shots there, and Tecmeri, reeling his position, lurking
in the Vensic.
He can't go down there, BSM.
Actually grabbed the C4.
There's not much choice for BSM.
This looks very, very difficult.
No time to pull it off.
And it's another one of these pistol rounds.
I mean, Mugosha shouldn't buy guns, James.
Oh, that is crazy. And yeah,
two very capable teams. This is this is interesting.
How often do you see this many rounds for four and a half of new
with these half buys, these pistols and so on?
I mean, I'm not totally surprised that you can make around
like really good on Nuke with with the pistols on the CT side.
But I'm surprised that the Mongols are I think winning
Every single one of them except the one I think the first one it was like a 1v1 clutch or something like that
But that was with the worst by they had almost entirely usps. So this does seem
Problematic if you're pain make they couldn't theory be up so much if they could have converted those rounds
It would be an enormous difference. It'd be like eight to two right now
Yeah, lots of potential in this series. Well, in this map, probably this series. It looks
like a well-matched match, although historically, the Mongols have twice as many wins over Pain
as pain do over the Mongols, map-wise, and fair amount of the time the Mongols will smash
pain. This is probably the best pain that they've played just yet. Mzeno fighting for
his life at the back of the ramp, but Piri will put him down and they'll create some
space for themselves and I smoke towards hell, but Cobra will find a great angle through
through that smoke. There's snow on 6 HP. There may be issues here for the squad. That's one
of the high health rifle players remaining dispatched of in QZ. Oh, the timing works for
VSM. Is he ready for another one though? They're all here in fact, but so is the bomb. He
needs to win that duel. He's not aware of that third man. How could you be? So it's
down to snow then, hiding in plain sight with a Glock because he gave his rifle to
BSM when he had 108 feet.
Oh, well then he's got one jiggle to rule him all.
He's made out of the corner, out of the coin flip.
Man, he didn't expect him to get that far.
He's enjoying himself.
These rounds are pretty wild, I've got to say.
An uncomfortable game, I think, for everybody.
You know their terrorists win.
6-5.
Mongols somehow ahead right now.
And the full tech 9 is full pain.
I don't know if we've seen them on full tech 9s like this so far in this half, but
see what they can do with it.
Couple players ready to receive a push there.
In wrap.
And cover zero.
He's going to just block this then and he's going to take one straight in the face for doing so.
And the lower bomb plot looks quite likely but 910 here to cause problems
Smoke that will be quite helpful as will the HE here for 910
Nailing BSM to the wall with the AWP
Yeah, that was a crucifixion
See what is left in this half for pain then perhaps not much as they enter a 2v4 situation
and mine so I'm capable of many a tragedy snow charging through with the knife, but you won't get there in time.
So Mongols will take the last one at halftime a very exciting game of nukes so far.
Welcome back to the ESL Pro League. We are here with Stage 2 and we have an exciting second
half of the first map between Pain Gaming and the Mongols coming right up here on Nuke.
It was a very surprising half where, I mean, Pain Gaming had an excellent T-Site EXCEPT
when it came to dealing with the Ecos. They couldn't convert against Mongols with
I don't think you should be too surprised with that, but it does leave us at a 7-5 advantage here for the Mongols as we kick things off on Nuke for the second half.
Let's see if Pain can have a better showing then on this pistol. They've got enough of them.
It's no surprise performance of the AWP in the first half of Nuke.
Mirage to come and Inferno for the Siler is required and Zedo is so quick with this Glock.
Peria will equal.
Love the hop out there from Techno bouncing off the roof to avoid getting headshot and delivering one himself.
Mongols looking to
be strong again with the pistols. NQZ trying to do what he can.
I feel like these Julie buys
don't often get as much done as you might expect.
Maybe one pistols better than two. Maybe HE.
The SM then, in the clutch, pulling out the dualies.
Let's see if he is ready. He's got two to find.
They're playing a bait. Will he both show?
Well, here's the footsteps then.
Oh, he's attached a boost!
In the red light, Zed runs to your left!
Oh, he's not be able to round the corner,
but he has wasted enough time.
Trust the SM to find the clutch.
But this time, not the defuse.
Hey, the dualies actually didn't look too bad in that situation,
But yeah, I do see your meaning with it, but it was a very nice take from the Mongols.
The VSM definitely made it look very doable here, though.
And he has a good...
Yes, I'm going to VSM.
That's true.
Oh, VSM going to get an M4A1S.
As will Bigazera, so, you know, full force by...
We'll see what they can do with it.
I mean, it was so successful for the Mongols.
He currently might be making quite the pace towards Ram does get stalled out though by the CT smokes
A nice setup here between DSM and NQZ
Yeah, it's in front of Bates. I'm gonna suggest that it's just a just a USP guys. Come on
Nothing to see here. Come in the water's warm
Julie's running distraction. The real surprise is VSM 3 on 2. This is durable for pain
Maybe the back and forth from the first half will continue between the pain and Mongols.
Tough angle to walk into.
These are exposed to so many different places.
Where is that other CT?
Ask Mongols.
Are they committed to the A-bomb side together?
Is he in heaven?
He's going to play the long game and wait for his teammate.
He's wondering where that second player is.
Oh, he's immediately spotted by 9-10.
Spatial awareness is off the chain.
His teammates ramp.
The only choke point he can be seen from is the window, immediately ready for it.
Because Zero tries to run distraction then.
9-10's ready for the last as well.
Three frags for him.
So smart though.
closed teammates ramp only one place to look.
Okay well this is an interesting spot now because
this was the kind of position where you would have expected
pain to kind of run away with things in the first half but they weren't able to
it kind of just got locked into this round for round battle
but the mongols you know we would expect them to be able to convert here
most likely and then it could just be game over on you despite all of the
the good work pain have done. So they need to find some value in this round if they possibly can.
We'll see what they're able to do, but outside control is certainly not going to be with them.
It's not ideal. Footsteps may be heard by MZeno.
No.
Useful work.
That's angle clearance there.
Less good angle clearance on that occasion.
And that is maybe damaged to be done.
Things are starting to turn around.
Well, they have turned around very, very quickly indeed.
I'm going to go straight into the garage there. Where's the trade fragger? Mdini is looking
for it and it's going to be a clutch there. The pain and just again, we were talking about
it like you've got to kind of needed to pick this round up and they are elated. Now this
really gives them a shot to instead come back in this new game.
Really smart. Just bigger zero. I like hope it was not expecting someone to be there
not peaking looking in the correct angle as well. And that changes everything. MQZ
had made a split-second decision not to trade when his first teammate was lost in the garage.
He was, he I think had like 9 HP, so probably felt like he was almost guaranteed to get dropped there.
So he waits to make some lades of play and allows his teammates to get into position to trade off of his death.
So again, pain, keep making these really fast decisions
to put themselves in positions to win.
Floring back versus Mongols.
And it's so good to see as well.
A team like Paine, capable of all of this, the hard rounds, the difficult rounds, the unlikely rounds, so important.
When it comes between, it's down to winning and losing again.
But again, the back and forth continues, one goals, abusing their numbers and opening on ramp.
Suddenly, they've got a lot of map control and two AKs in what is otherwise a pistol round.
and he's kind of backing to spawn there as well, which really lengthens this rotation.
And he's, you know, wanting to be very safe in case he gets overwhelmed by the pistols
if they were to go upper, but they're going lower. Creeping and snow, once he gets contact
I think you can reposition as contact here would certainly signal what's going on.
25 seconds to plant the bomb. CTs are starting to rotate over, committing to this one.
This is such an awkward angle for snow to peak though.
You can be prefied there all day. So how do they get into the bomb site? Oh
What kind of a bounce is that?
Very awkward indeed
Still needs to make their way through the door though
Let's can't get sprayed up there
He's just running around being a nuisance snow in the red once more able to deal with blitz snow is having a life game right now
14 frags, but the nature of these frags, the clutches of the AWP, dealing of that position
while low as well, like he is playing really well.
Yeah, those were crazy shots. I was looking at that round state and I'm like in a 2v2,
like there's no way, there's no way that they win this. And it just swings out and
just deletes the last two players, makes it look very easy indeed. And that's 7-9
now for pain as they only have two more to go to get an even game and Cobra Zero is going
to be the hero AK for the Mongols side for now, but full utility for everything for the
CT side. Now even an AK-47 for Snow, so this is going to be, or it should be, a little
bit more straightforward of a round for the pain side, although there hasn't really
been very many straight boy rounds and I think that continues because this angle gets honed.
The bam. You can't hold angles versus Mongols.
NQZ's got to be careful as well. There is a tech nine player close.
You may be up to some risk taking. Oh Blitz has found angles as well.
Oh okay, that makes up for the miss earlier on. And now surely he's seen me
going to steam up there and pick up some more weapons. The dream is collapsing for pain in round 17.
It's just these pistols, man. And okay, you're talking about snow having a crazy game. He could
win this round for his team right here. Is there any useful to take his life more difficult?
The spray, the movement is very awkward, just evading all of those bullets. But still a 2v3
here for the remainder of pain. Of course, the bomb is going to go down. Peria, that was very close.
It's going to be able to sneak out here, but he is expected. I'm bigger zero. It's all he can
do to save the M4. Another just devastating round and the money's not great for the CT side.
With the AWP saved, they could certainly buy up next round. And it might look okay,
but they're going to be lacking utility.
You're back to the 4,200 of the lost bonus.
Uh-oh.
This is actually low-worrying.
For biggest areas, they surely want to get the AWP out of the stands, or?
No, they're going to give it up.
That's nasty.
But I've got to say, I think 910 is the last person you want to be walking towards on this server.
He ain't trying to lose any jewels right now.
This is a stressful one.
We've seen more frustration on the Mongol side, I feel like,
in terms of the body language.
That's a pretty tight game.
Yeah, it feels like the Mongols have the edge, not just because they're ahead,
but just kind of I think the nature of how they're winning rounds.
It's kind of like you said, you can't hold angles against them.
I don't know if the approach just needs to be a little bit different
in terms of how you are playing the angles.
It's like just don't be on some of these prefire angles and play
play the Yuto game a little bit differently or being more aggressive.
Somewhere I'm not sure what the precise adjustment might be
that pain will choose, but.
It certainly feels like the Mongols are ready to kind of just burst through.
And just win this game of Nuke right now that they really have the pain economy on the ropes.
You would need another crazy round from Pain. Can they do it again?
seven three rounds behind our pain on their CT side
Third match of four today. If you're joining us late, we're only halfway through. There's
a lot of CS to come.
We'll be pulling out the MP7 in this round. It's still weird to me that people are actually
using the MP7. Snow again as big as Zero who finds three through the smoke. God angle from
him on to Squeaky. And wow, I mean, what else is there to say? MZeno, we'll see if he can
keep the CT spending. Money's a bit here and there for Mongols. But that is exactly what
the doctor ordered straight into the veins,
bombed down the vent as well.
I'm not sure if that's even been seen by the CTs
considering the nature of these frags.
It's kind of funny because, you know,
pain have this moment where it's like, okay,
we've got to like win this round,
like the rounds have been hard.
And then I think the Mongols like, okay,
if we just hit them with something we haven't done yet,
which is like a mega super fast pace upper hit,
they're not going to expect that timing.
A few moments later.
They go owned. Absolutely owned. Yeah, we won't be here for a while.
Yeah, we won't be here for a while.
There's something, a stroke of luck for pain, actually.
One utility later.
I hope you've got more of those, because we are still going to be here for a while.
My words.
Much, much, much later.
Much, much, much later.
Wonderful.
That bum's gonna start rusting, I think.
Before this round is finished.
Good decision from Emzino, though.
He's the one with no money whatsoever.
So, it's important that he holds his...
...his shit together and spawn...
...instares at the walls.
What's 11 and yeah, I mean that's that's like what more could you ask for that's exactly the round they needed
Beautiful work fully blinded is all I've been saying
Yeah, I mean what I okay, well I think you said this earlier to you can't
expect any round to be given and because not as an upbeat in this in this mashup so far, so
It's going to be interesting to see what the complexion of this round looks like because
they're with the AK upgrades.
Pretty passive outside for the USCT side, they've got more defenders in the upper bomb
side at the moments.
Now are we walking behind the smoke or are we not?
It's so weird when the Nade goes off and you see the head go back.
He's catching me off guard.
Giving you to all sort of guys in the back.
Try to stream in a very quick pace from Mongols in round 19.
NQZ being very patient, making sure he delivers the goods there.
That's why he's got the AWP.
Just reminding Snow who the boss is.
Another one be five on time. It's so interesting to HP don't they haven't they haven't taken a single bullet look at them. Yeah
It's that it's perfect
Perfect, I don't know if I've seen that before on the buy rounds
Where like they they fight there, you know, they're fully fighting the other side and
They end the round completely untouched like in a buy round. That's weird
it is what's really interesting to me here as well is that we we see that mongols
loses last two rounds by going very very fast I think the slow pacing rounds they
they seem to get more done and it gets more kind of fights they want so we'll
see if anything changes that they're going fast here once again they got a
hero AK it's just about getting bodies in front of cover zero to get the
trade in. Now the AK is gone, and it looks like another relatively easy round for pain
here, assuming that Tecno is unable to do much more. 50 health, AK upgrades, but he's
stuck in ramp.
There's potential here. He can clutch this. Should he? Probably not, but it's possible.
It seems that he could be outside as far as the CTs are concerned. He had two players
lower and one in the lobby. So he could be outside, he could be heaven. If he's outside
he can wrap on the A bomb site. The longer... are beautiful. Yeah the more time goes on
the more places he can be so they have to check. It's information on where one CT is
and that's the information on the other one. He's got the info now. Just trying
get those jewels that was the scary one but they will come out on top. And you know what I mean for
them it's not too bad that they took damage there we're almost at the end of regulation and they
won two rounds I think with at least four or five players left alive so they're gonna have a decent
bank available. I'm not sure if the op was pick up a ball at the end of the rounds I don't
think that it was I forget where it went down but either way the Mongols take a time out now
And double AWP.
Ooh.
That's either going to be awesome games, or it's going to be a horrible fail.
It's like, you can't go out any other way.
Is this an ego thing for VSM?
Because, you know, we saw Snow do well with the AWP.
Is he like, now I can do this too?
I got this, guys. Let me have a go.
I'm joking.
I'm curious where the second AWP goes.
Well, that's what I was going to mention is that, you know, VSN typically has been playing
Ramp, and he's been getting kind of abused by the pre-fires on Ramp into the position
that you AWP from.
So I'm very interested to see how that will go, because you'd imagine he's going Ramp,
and then NQZ is going to make his presence known outside.
You know, you want to sort of see-saw the opponents into where the other AWP is.
Let's see how quick his reaction time is.
He's got to get one and then force him to redirect.
That would be the good play for a VSM there.
Oh, man! I've got a bit of a few.
Not sure if people got tagged by the AWP or by the HE, probably the HE there.
He has reset the situation.
Yeah, that's unfortunate timing for him.
Unfortunately for the Mongols though.
Snow spots some problems there.
This is awkward around the B bomb sites.
But they are committed Mongols. They've made their way all the way in.
Going for a quick plant once again.
Now, how do you pay in response to this?
500 HP versus the remainder of Mongols.
They don't have much space to T side.
They've really need to hold on to Dekon heavy investment with two players set up
Three CT is coming through the sprays are hard and this won't be one nine ten against period is massive
There's the flash that's gonna force my ten to get out the door and to the reposition into BSM
Perfect weapon BSM so far one more player top ramp and period does all the damage and pain with a great retake there in an
otherwise awkward scenario
That was a great round and it was actually great observing as well props to the observers for that one that angle on
Decorne was fantastic. So you get your flowers as well
But this is such an interesting game between these squads like the rounds we're seeing and so on in there
They're so close. There's so many windows where I decide to take it
Get somebody AWP you can see the flashbang went too far for the guys in the corner
But still they come out on top three AKs on the CT side now
as we are at the business end of the shotgun what everyone's gonna make it
here
and paint take the lead again it's been a while
slow walk T red secret the very turbulent journey wow okay blitz did he
just kind of line it up somehow and just let her rip that's that's a crazy
pectagate. He might be in a bit of trouble here. Oh he crashed through the corner. Yeah, looking
for him to be spraying over to the left, punishing the position. That's a super smart plate.
One minute on the clock as VSM will show presence in the defense of B. He's in the
smoke. He might be stuck here. I don't think they heard the tag. What a weird position to be in.
Oh, they affect the bomb plant, but he's still able to catch them Xeno. They all be a trade.
Number's not great for pain. Money's not bad though.
Same cannot be said for Mongols. That's a really important molly for them.
No bro, I'm checking the left but not as deep as he thinks he might be checking it.
Here he is, he'll be dealt with by taking those hard-eased mongols players, absolute
savages.
This one might be over.
It's not looking to hold onto the M4 if he can.
He has a lot of kids.
You can force someone more to die, that's actually pretty good.
Oh my god, he's going for the ninja, I'd love to see that.
next. The Mongols making it super tight here. Very nice pick found outside just like you
said a very intelligent way to capitalize on the spring CT player. This play had so much
the SM actually gets like I think it's one bullet off before he dies in the edge on 1111
now though. Full money on both sides, AWP on both sides, all to play for.
It's a continuation. Oh my God, that thing from NQZ. Is there any way he
escapes this? Yes. Post it up once again.
those are the most satisfying flicks of the AWP the whole mouse pad getting out to is so
so so so important for pain and it does make the round slow down as well because they can't
get that ramp space that they could maybe have otherwise gotten and now one goes slow
it right down see if there's any pics to be had and now they're starting to make
their way outside as well. Gaining some space there, and upper split looks like the play here.
Bigger zero. Very important for him to hold this position, except the first player. Surely
he's got to be expecting that to be potentially more here.
I've got so much info. Protector has made an error there. Blitz might be able to make
commends down to a 2-1-2 of the timing of that smoke and NQZ
Kess is bell rung through the wall. NQZ being alive is a problem at all times
This is gonna be a really important jewel the crash peak from Peria won't be enough
Still surviving is Blitz 1v2 NQZ
No, he's he's got precious time to find that 1v1 but 9-10 is ready for it. The Mongols go one ahead
This is a very entertaining game of Nuke. I gotta say, not playing out how I thought
it would. Pain taking a time out now. They've only got one chance now to get to overtime
to win this one. And they fail to do it. They're going to go a map down against the
Mongols here. And they're going to have to make it into a three mapper if they want
to hope to win this series. Very, very challenging, but already punching above their weight. I
think it's fair to say here, James. Yeah, this is great. A new level for pain, a consistent
new level as well. Honestly, some of the matches to get this far have been challenging, have
been difficult, have been very demanding. And here they are. Let's see if they've
got what it takes. Double MP7 on the CT side of nuke. There's a lot of firepower taken away
from pain. We've been playing a very even game, dragging wise.
Oh, hard to get anything past the mongols.
It's seen it before, thank you Zedanta 15 into the welcoming hands of 910.
There's a very big pickup in the vacuum of this round when you look at what pain are carrying.
In a hero play now, period.
Able to convert upgrades to an AK-47.
A minute ago, this positioning outside is very intimidating.
Mongols have been really good in these slower rounds, working for all the space on the map.
Yeah, they're in Hell, they're basically in B, but they do need to collapse somewhere,
they do need to find the kills.
Position is one thing.
the frags is quite another. Bigazera is over towards me as well. Now that is a perfect
flash, but VSN finds a way! There's more coming! His teammate has an angle. The Blitz
goes elsewhere. 3 on 3, 15 seconds. It might be down to Bigazera for this one. With the
M4, Bombteer is left, Blitz to his right, but the awkward movement keeps him alive!
burn enough time for the bomb line to be attempted but it's too late now there was no time to fake
he had to commit to it there was no other choice wow the blind kill with the SMG oh man vsm absolutely
delivering a very pivotal frag because that forced the rotation back down to lower they weren't
confident to continue going up after this kill that's ridiculous and snow dropping in
like Santa down the chimney with the Famas.
Insane.
promising start for mongols
thank you see always finds a way to escape
most people might just go straight into the wall there fully blind even if he
is escaped I don't think pain will escape from a loss in this round
Mongols come through to this one, angry, three unanswered frags.
I mean, because you might want to save her.
Yeah, it seemed like Payne just weren't ready.
One ready, one sort of just...
Because we've seen a lot of rounds where Payne are able to kind of read the action
and sort of just be prepared for pretty much everything that's coming at them
and this round this sort of seems a little bit out of position,
a little bit unawares.
And that's fatal against the Mongols that's for sure
The Mongols looking to pick up the first round of overtime. It's NQZ trying to hold on to this AWP very important big kill from Cobra to take it away
If one place survives W. Okay, I think
As far as AWP practices are
Mongols looking really sharp.
But again, paying her up for the challenge, that's why we're here.
I love how when you start going into over times, that's a plural.
Things start to change.
You see different looks from teams.
It's like there's a mental barrier broken as a new space with new ideas.
We saw that from pain against G2 and they were the aggressors on the T side.
It's going to get caught till I snow here.
And this is exactly what Pain needed.
They're ahead of the push, they're ready for it.
Getting that kill on the flank and now a great connection for the biggest area.
He can just entertain them but he's actually going for more and you can't blame him.
A shutdown there from Pain Gaming as they equalize in overtime.
And there we go. Timeout immediately hit the big red button.
It's been pressed.
That was such a nice setup. Absolutely merciless downstairs and a great response after a strong
round from the Mongols as well. They will remind them that nothing is free.
It won't even allow momentum or pain.
That was such a sick frag.
And the combo with teammate moving through the vents.
After throwing a smoke from the right, emerging from the left, playing off of his teammate.
Lovely stuff.
pain
Three AKs on the CT sides
Well big fast movement here into lobby from the CTs
It's the more info that James that's very that's a good start for pain
Yeah, I don't know how mongols respond to this
Because you know it ruins your timing if you
In terms of trying to if we go back to the first half when pain a T side they threw
Utility towards ramp to pull a player off of a then executed on a immediately
It's difficult to do things like that when the CT side take lobby
Whoa is he being dropped those pretty good?
lucky to be alive that option not connecting is a big win for the mongols
here maintaining the 5v4 interesting positioning though here from the CTs they
still have a lot to work with brilliant catch their timing wise from VSM 30
seconds the mongols have to start to get a move on they're going to challenge
steal once again. Where does he go? Period. Oh, he's got quick scope mode. Being barbecued,
he may not survive. One way or another, he won't. Down two or two on two. That second
frag will be so important for Payne's chances at securing this round. Cobra ready and waiting.
9-10, loses a jewel.
Rarely say that, but the Ascent is a big clutch shot,
and he is ready on this occasion.
Neck and neck between these squads.
It is Paine who take that crucial lead round at halftime.
Really big round. The CT side was so tricky for them as well.
I mean, to be honest, that's bad to say that.
Both halves are being tricky for both teams in this game.
Very nice Imperial.
He missed the first of his AWP shots as well.
Before hitting those two must hit connections.
As you say, pain with the the airshare going into overtime.
Two more rounds and they can walk away with Nuke in the bag in this series
and I hope to get a 2-0 should they win Mirage as well.
Nice ult from Cobra.
Mongols quietly creeping outside.
It's a strong early 5144.
Sorry, the Mongols pain of creeping outside.
Back in the room.
Oh, man.
No, honestly, it's just playing so good. How are you ready for an off angle like that?
So well, match these squads, these players, minutes on the clock, and pain are focused
on the B bomb site. Bomb carry, NQZ loses it all time. You know, that's 17, but snow
will trade. Snow again, keeping his team in the fight.
I'll be able to plant safely as well, so because they're looking to hold on to the position,
Tecno still relatively healthy, half health for him.
Let's call unawares and this now makes it a very tricky situation for Tecno and who
else but Snow to finish the rounds for pain gaming.
And now they just need one more, one of these two remaining rounds in this half
And they are going to bag nuke against the Mongols.
It's a huge round.
That is a huge round.
Again, this is the pick of pain.
time out from pain as they refocus on their mission. It's still yet to be completed, which
is to secure their pick of Nuke. This is a very dangerous team.
Again, as a reminder, Pain, in their final match to qualify to this stage, they two
Ode's G2 with the final map being a victory against you on Mirage, which is the next map.
So lots of look forward to here, regardless as to who is the winner of this one. But on
the outside rather quickly here is Payne Gaming looking to run down the CT site. 9-10, gonna
have to reposition. He's going to lose his teammate outside. Blitz goes down and
it's a 4v4.
Racing downstairs are paying.
Over a pops out.
Doesn't get enough though.
Racers on now and Zeno definitely going into position hasn't been spotted just yet.
But look how fast the trade is. It's almost immediate.
910 posted up NQZ on the floor now.
And the down to a two on two.
Minute 10 on the clock.
Snow trying to escape but the Nade will deny him.
It will expose him.
And 9-10 will do what needs to be done. That leaves Piriah.
1 vs 2 of all the time in the world. Not sure if he gave any sound cues.
The force snow has dropped there. Mongols were a little further away.
And that will be that one test passed for Mongols. They stay standing. One more to go.
Very, very close situation there for short.
I like the fast pace on the outside from the pain gaming here.
That definitely was, you know, getting a 4v4 is always a good thing on the T side.
Let's see if they like to use a similar pace or if they'll switch things up a little
bit.
More lobby ramp focused on the default here, NQZ posted, looking for Peach.
Limited outside presence from pain this time, as NQZ is making sure there's no close CTs
on that hot position.
I'm going to keep him very much right now.
And the only picks are either side this time.
So there is presence in secret.
I wouldn't go as far as to say it is taken because I do not know what is at the bottom of those stairs just yet.
And it seems it will be one of their later ones.
Again, let's not forget that T side. They are able to manipulate rotations of these CTs.
So what is the play going to be this time? Thirty five seconds.
Squeaky is open.
They could make a play towards ramp considering they've got somebody in secret.
But they could also send it towards me. So how do you position yourself if you are the Mongols?
They don't have nothing. Sorry, that's a scary part about this. 20 seconds and Blitz and Tecno have been cleared out 9-10 to get such a good angle, though.
Enzino is fighting back as well. Multi-frag for him. Still posting up angles on Squeaky.
10 seconds, 9-10. Just not allowing that bomb onto the bomb site. And they force a second overtime.
another overtime here to figure out who's going to take this map in this series. I mean
this is like the day of overtime surely. I mean how many we're going to be treated to
here James? It's going to be a wild ride I can already tell.
Yeah I'm very interested to see what the deciding factor will be on this map between
squads. Again, that's not an easy thing to deal with. Having control of secret,
Squeaky's blown off. You could try and split the B bomb site, you could send it
in towards A. I leave position of your troops if you are Mongols in that
scenario. Speaking of position, that's very nice from Techno. Importantly for
They still have presence in secret.
They need that threats.
Oh, how did he...
Okay, must be landing in accuracy for NQZ.
He's just too fast for his own good.
That's two kills that I've slipped away from paying gaming outside.
Frustrating.
Much slower round from them as well.
A minute left and they don't have any ground really, just yet, except some position towards secret.
It's no the late slurk.
He could turn this entire round from his head.
He knows no one's up there.
He's trying to buy time.
Yeah, you heard the footsteps up in heaven, so you've got warning.
But the bottom has been lost!
Blitz!
Oh, Snow's got to do so much now.
1, 2, 3!
Alright then.
MZ, no, suddenly.
And the 1 versus 2, we've got AWP jumping around and squeaky.
Oh, and Snow's greated!
What a back and forth!
What a back and forth!
He just tagged him enough to send him to his demise, bro.
crazy situation because they were holding, they were waiting because they wanted snow to get activated
on that luck, but it was just a little bit too slow and you got those players pushing through lobby
taking down players for free. It was a very good couple kills from snow, but anyway, oh no.
Heartbreaking initial round there for Pain. Let's not forget too, they had a couple of
frags outside that seemed possible for them that sort of slipped away. And so just a very
Very frustrating first round as the second overtime that gives Mongols the edge as we move forwards.
What a turnaround to even get that far for pain.
That was these these rounds are awesome. Like as a spectator, these rounds are fantastic.
And again, there's no there's no slacking on pain.
The there are prides are pretty much average across the board.
Equal Contributions. 910 is heading towards the 30 bomb on the other side, and again he
was clearly not the man to be dueling with, and he has no doubt more work to do.
I think they were in a really good forward position in the previous round. You can see
snow checking this time. That's exactly where Techno was. I don't want to make that mistake
twice.
Pain. Not sure. What's going on right now? With the CT set up and vice versa. There's
pain. Not sure what's going on right now with the CT set up and vice versa. There's been very little info exchanged.
And ten keeps his watchful eye on ramp, but just as he leaves might be the moment here. Well, he's going to take down snow outside.
But now the ramp room has been breached by the T side pain gaming all over it.
But they've got more to do. They've still got to make their way to a bomb site and not there just yet.
They've got no Util. They've got no way to smoke off this position.
Liz. Moving through now.
His timing is unfortunate for him.
NQZ spots the rotation.
He was holding the vent. He's holding the vent no more.
Close the blown off. 9-10. Still wielding the AWP.
Checking over the big swing there.
3 on 3. Clock is ticking.
Because they are attacked on 1 HP.
spotting coal. Oh my God. I just flying out of nowhere and cuisine a clutch out. Not on
this occasion. I feel like pain may be caused by intense rotation off of the ramps based
on what they're doing elsewhere, but he just runs towards the window and drop from the
players outside. He's like, cool. There's actually no swear. Let me go find that action.
Yeah. And it does. It does feel like pain gaming sort of lost the rhythm of it
of these T rounds.
The Mongols are obviously looking really sharp.
They need to really get at least one rounds in this half.
Otherwise, it's going to be very
nil, very much a nail by Joe in the seconds of half
of the second of time for them and looking to turn up the pace here.
A lot of you till dumped upper.
So attention from a techno on that door position.
Oh, he is going to absolutely snap
Peri is next there with the AK.
Whoa! Great trade from Big Zera.
And that will bring it down to a 4 vs 4 with a minute and a half left.
Is he scoping with the HE?
It might have been herds.
9-10 is unstoppable. That's 30.
Not expecting the second north.
That will be it.
For this half.
It's a solid one for Mongols.
The pain ran out of gas.
At least on the T side.
That's the question here.
That was such a great kill from Tecna.
This is the thing too on overtime.
As you were saying, overtime dynamics can get kind of weird.
In terms of, okay, we've kind of run everything and...
You know, what do we what do we do now it was being working and and to be honest, I'm
sorry runs to be very spot, but you know, I hope I thought we've got cameras who are
making his way straight into the hut and snow was really wanting to get into main
there forced to play the CT vent.
Oh, he's so sharp.
The numbers are here to trade.
Snow somehow squeezes a second flag out of that.
And then QZ's rotation is perfect.
Skoped in.
He knows this more.
He sees he finds it.
That's beautiful from MQZ.
So good on the bomb site.
So he is playing great.
That's a highlight right there Frank. He's a massive 3k. I love that the the the player
The second kill in Maine was just you know, he wasn't looking for that player
He knows he's dancing with somebody like right next to him, but he sees he kills
Okay
We got some energy back in the in the paint cap perhaps off the bat one
Can they do it two more times though double up the DSM's picked it up again?
And Piri is in lobby!
And Zeno, not wanting to give this one up, the pre-fire's back and forth through the wall though.
He'll catch him.
Always a bit of nostalgia when it's a wall bang on Nuke.
How important will that duel be?
Yeah.
That's definitely one where I think period what again hold our thought we've got snow. He's in a pretty strong position
It obviously they're gonna be looking for him surely the cover. Yeah men's in years on it
And let's see looking deep enough. No NQZ all the way back there for CC
Can he get out of this position though to help his teammates because there is gonna be on his own here holding against to
Very important duals. They spotted him now. I think everyone's been spotted in QZ with another outside
This one would be huge here for bigger zero. Just one is going to fall back, but just bringing them into VSM's crosshair.
But in the back from that comes Tecno. It's all a game of timing here as NQZ walks outside. Can Tecno?
Okay, there we go. It's a freebie and now suddenly out of position.
Bigger Zera still nails the kill and it's a two versus two now.
20 seconds for the bomb to go down. Which way do they go?
NQZ still waiting up top.
up. Big is here. They are collapsing on his position. He's still standing and now it's
the orc versus the orc. Thank you. He's pulled out the M4. He's on his way over. The door
is open and he's going to find him pain. Survive. I can't believe it when snow got dropped
on secret. I thought that was a wrap. But here we are. They are finding a way. Yeah.
These teams are so well matched.
I think something that's interesting about this round, too, is that this duel with Perrier,
he, that's one of the spots I think where you're just like, I like, want to get this kill more so than...
Yeah, because you take the fight, there's like a third, like hold there, you're really at a big disadvantage
and like the risk to die is very suddenly very high.
Whereas in the first initial engagement, he had the drop on his opponent.
And so I think that's where the problem is.
He doesn't get the kill there.
And then you're in a spot where you're thinking, man, I like should have gotten that and you over commit into that fight and then just die.
It's like a common leak that players have sometimes and it can happen to anyone, but it's great that PainWave would still clutch it up.
But Big is there with some really important duels there on the lower side.
This is a crazy one, James, because I kind of thought that Pain would run out of steam after this first half, but on the CT side, they just need one more.
No teams might be saying one more round, boys.
Look at distraction being run as well. It's so well done by Mongols
Someone's praying through the smoke. Look at me. Look at me. Blitz emerges
How much will they throw at this?
Everybody's still standing for pain
Lovely distraction play there from Mongols. Good map control now plays towards B. Outside is very compromised. How do you pain respond to this?
Yes, no one in QZ extremely low. These four positions, the T's creeping everywhere. This
is a huge, huge problem for Pain. This does not look good right now. And the Mongols are
taking full advantage. Look at all this space they're getting for. Absolute free. This
puts VSM in a position where he has to deliver a really huge multi-kill.
Dancing on the ladder. Snow's been hurt.
Oh the timing. So good. But what do you expect VSM here?
How much can he get from this?
Oh, I'm so sick.
But how long can he stay alive for? His reinforcements need to come quickly.
He is behind enemy lines.
Teammates are dropping, as will VSM.
So close in yet so far as the Mongols will finally close out the first map of the series.
Overtime separates these squads.
Mongols with some frustrations at the beginning by the end will be standing tall.
It's a beam!
No chance at all, dog.
Fire!
Nobody fight here and you know you don't need to go broke.
No football, no commotion at all.
They're in the smoke buddy.
Oh they're in, they're in.
Nine's causing chaos boot Jimmy P.
Here he is.
I will find him.
I've done deal, heroic repellent.
Two one up, they win out versus the force.
They're now on easy street.
Ah you kill, okay.
POMORI, POMORI...
I
I
I
Oh
It's worth it. What are they saying? They're indirectly, though, aren't they? They're not
directly talking to me there's a quote from sponge who we all know yeah and the
quote was well he said it about we were talking about exactly in furniture
you know we wanted to give regarding
no more maps bitter and obviously you know retakes one of the things we've
always saved and I'm sorry some like graveyard on the ace I wish never
used to exist begging more voices and added issue don't even hold it as a
CD not even because he's on the CD it's like it's only one he's on the
He started retaking other with my suggestion that was Chad and then they reply with a gift that says that was me
Okay, that was him
Well, thanks about really good impression
All right now the money's in the mood now back now's our back in the mud
It's
You can read toji, remember saying the line
Nooo, but it's so good
It's your favorite toji line of all time
Yeah, in the mud
We are in the mud
We should do a blind tealist of toji's most iconic lines
Okay, dog in the house
Dog in the house
We're in the mud, crying
Crying
Crying now
What does he say to Kloosz?
What does he say originally?
He told him to fuck off
fuck off was that it was a bit more to it it was you know but the booze I can't
hear you well he definitely could definitely got to him as well didn't it
when you walk I don't blame him bro the booze their clues were lethal they were
relentless imagine you know you're a pretty good team and everyone just
needs you for some reason it's one of the most consistent teams in all of
guys everyone just preys on your downfall always making top four
playing solo every strike just having a tough time first vitality arguably the
best team of all time I'm not sure it's arguably anymore I just say that
because if I don't what happens is people get upset some of the Dan's come
out of the woodwork I feel like it's undeniable at this point but I hear
Yeah, no kids
Blind tier list aura mouse players
Who's number two Jimmy? Yeah
Jimmy is fun number two speaks is one of major so maybe he gets three off that and then I was talking mouse players
I was talking, but you can't
hear him, uh, because his
Um, so, now I'll do the intro. Welcome back.
Looking at the faces of Payne at the end of that game,
you could see that they felt like they really should have won that game of Nuke.
And I mean, yes, they're playing a capable, a very capable team.
But they're very good at Nuke Payne, and it was, you know, they would have had chances more than one
to win that round. And now look at the odds, they are considerably worse for them.
That was such an entertaining game of nuked though.
I was enthralled by the action that we saw there.
And I would love for Mirage to be just as close.
Now we've seen some strong performances
from Payne overcoming odds on Mirage already
in this past week.
Again, we saw some great looks from them.
In the two zero versus G2.
16-12 on Mirage over G2 to complete the 2-0, 16-14 on an Inferno, yes that wasn't CS2.
How many frags is the fate? Good four, it's good for two and the bomb!
NQZ of a third, leaving Techno with O so much to do.
1v5.
Here we are VSM and NQZ might get that cheap helmet, because he's still 100 HP.
That has changed now, but my word, he got a lot out of that.
So again, it's always worth looking at who is untouched with Kevlar at the end of
the round.
It normally means they can pick up a rifle, especially if they have got a frag.
They'll be good to go.
So we see, if we exclude the FAMAS, we've got three rifles straight out of the gates.
Here we are then.
More biz coming.
It's just, no, you can't make a lot of money or okay. This is looking bad looking very bad
Bombs gonna go down to get a kill very very nice
But it was the MP9 so you know, it's the the most skivvable weapon
So dangerous over these pistols with the Mongols always dangerous three versus three
Here we have a good timing there from CT and
Finally the round will be Wrangles back at the pain side
And they'll convert so I've been two kills and a bomb down that's that's a that's the ideal result pretty much
for the Mongols
Yeah, that's a good shots
I was just about to say, I mean, you could see his, his smile died at the end of the
last game when it was Gigi, because that was, I think for them, that was a win all day, you
know, that was, uh, it should be always winning that, but that wasn't to be even, even against
teams such as Mongols, you see the disappointments in letting that one go, which is, which
is good to see. It matters, you know, it's not okay.
The SM must be rejuvenated. I feel like his energy is important.
Well, my day is worse. My day is worse now.
Snow's been very animated for the squad money, Winrounds as well. I think he will be able
to raise the energy when needed. But it's early. And I think perhaps they can't help
but be concerned that against a formidable opponent,
like a top 10 opponents,
you can't let your map slide like that.
Your best map being taken away from you is a problem.
I'm curious what this map will yield based on, again, just what we saw from Paine against
G2.
Winning that in overtime?
It was overtime, right?
Yeah, it was.
time.
It was every time, right?
Yeah.
I think it was.
Yes, of course it was.
Of course it was.
Of course, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like being slouched in a chair like that is going to make you tired, and your
response time will be slower.
Let's see if it makes a difference because they were very snappy on their first map.
30 bomb for 9-10 in map 1. 33 for 23 he was, both Yorpa's having a good time, NQZ 28 for
5 top fraggers for their respective squads. Interesting Bam angle.
We love tech pauses. Yes.
Mongols are having a ping issue apparently. Still got the warm coats out.
me to find the way. Well, I'm in Texas. So the seasons kind of
don't work the same. It's like either it's really hot or really
cold.
So what is it now really cold?
No, it's it's warming up. It's warming up. It's warming up.
It's intermittent here in London. We had a warm day
yesterday and today it's a little bit cold.
My little corner of the world is by the window and I can feel it in jail your corner of the
world.
You kind of make it something.
You've got this little room.
That's it.
It's my little man corner.
Man corner.
Okay.
Yeah.
Some people have man.
I don't have a man cave yet.
Just a man corner.
That'll do for now. I've got my PC, I've got my drone stuff. I haven't called that a drones
for a long time, but I think I'll be pulling the drones out soon. And then my Olympic pistol
stuff and an RPG on the floor. No Pelley case.
So is this RPG functional?
No, no, it has a deactivation certificate. There's no world where I would have an RPG.
I could actually use the UK. Could you make it usable? That's not something I've looked
into. I wouldn't know how to do that, man. But I also have a dummy warhead as well, which
is... Could you make that use? But the thing is, I have this flashbang on my desk and
if you if you picked it up like it's a it's a real metal
flashbang. So which makes me wonder like if I pull the pins
what happens? Oh, maybe nothing maybe something you're not
sure if it's if it's actually it's because you know, you
can take it was this this I bought from eBay. But you know,
it was, I just thought it'd be cool because it looks exactly
the same as the as the flash in the game. So I thought oh,
That's great. What a little thing to have on my desk, but you expect it to be plastic or like Etsy here or something?
But no, it feels like a real one. Maybe they're heavier. Who knows? Anyway, we are back in for the action.
This is a buy-around for both squads. The AKs are out.
Mongols with a complete focus on A. As they hear this utility being dumped in mid,
does this speed things up here?
Are they expecting the CTs to be somewhat out of position to defend this?
A with Smokes Execute, the classic, the Vintage.
And this is cool for pain because they've got retake positions anyway.
They do need to get ticket control.
But then once they have that, they can just do the counter or rather the retake CT utility.
Because this start around, they've still got all the utility health to throw.
Because they are with the key incendiary, the Cobra is going to go forward.
This is really important. You've got to hit them, hit the CTs before they get set up.
Perfect timing from the Mongols. They know how to do it.
And I mean the rounds over now basically I mean it would take just a few mistakes from the Mongols at this point
So well played yeah, that's the second wave of smoke grenades is really cool as well
You till
More you till and just punishing play from Mongols
Yeah, I think the the emotions we see on
pain. Tell a story of concern as they should have, of course, in this scenario. So, inclusion
of poker, the Mongols versus pain on the 14th of February was a 13-1 for Mongols.
when I played in the middle of last year, it was 13.5 for Mongols. So the history is
bad, but it could become good could become good or it could remain bad.
I guess that's how things work so you got some ping issues still it seems that's why we've
gone back to tech pause time really what we should have is the golden eye music when we
go into like the pause like this you know gold golden eye 64 is one of those things where
yeah I feel like in that era of running around with a pad control pads you know if I went
back to that now. I guess if you went back with your mates, it would probably still be
fun playing facility with proximity mines. But maybe that nostalgia, I don't know. It's
always a gamble if you go back and it's like, ah, it doesn't hold up. I think maybe it would,
you know, with the right people, with the man them.
Yeah, it would.
So I told you earlier, I was writing an email to Valve about this random, probably
useless idea I have. So it reads, is it possible to track how long the firearm has been carried
from round to round and how many times it has changed hands at the end of a round, i.e.
from T side to CTs, you know, the hands of the enemy, if you will. Might be interesting,
might not be, ho-ho.
So we're gonna swap over to the A stream the mouse heroic whilst we sort out this tech issue
I think you might be right though is that that's pretty much the game I think it is
you throw that kind of right away the morale's gone everyone's upset no one's saying nice try
Alright, cousin.
Yeah.
To be fair.
Alright, let's take a look here.
Stand in front of the trash can.
You're gonna do a little bit of this,
a little bit of land.
You're gonna release the smokes.
You land over the walls of the window.
Now he's gonna step through.
He's out. Yeah, that's what I was saying.
That was, uh...
Is it just to walk X-flat in through lower maybe?
Yes.
We've been doing this for a decade now.
Pretending players missing smokes is all part of the plan.
I never get the wall outside
If you can land there you can land a window smoke I can land a window smoke about door smoke. Yeah
I'm not paid a million dollars a year throw it I didn't mean to dust you when I was a throwback to the windows and doors
I wasn't having to do just to one was on the tip of the happy coincidence. Yeah, I promise it wasn't a deal
about just a happy little accident well for a station in this round the road
getting unrooted or uprooted you're not checking this he's a short spank
spicy in this sad underbought you never clear in this all guys is clean but
you never thought about clearing this man this is the force by as well huh
I don't know and it still is map yeah calm on them all I suppose well the one
They won the third.
No, they can't win it for no.
The series before the map 2 is over.
Let's go nose.
It's just the truth.
It's the truth.
I don't think I could handle it.
I can't know.
I think I could get in this ramp.
I'm going to get the mail bag if it loses one Harry suit.
The game is resuming. We are good to go.
Let's see if the players remain so as well.
A force buy from Pain. Oh my word.
Well, I did ask for more scout action and more scout action I'm being delivered.
We got some great scout action from Snappy a few days ago.
And now we see some nasty work here from NQZ also.
Seems that this anti-forcefire round is not going very well for Mongols.
Wow.
Ooh.
Okay, that's a nice shot, but the bomb is lost.
You've got to go get the bomb.
That's not going to be very easy, though.
Have you seen that film All Is Lost, where the dude's on the boats?
No
You know what I'm not sure if I've seen this one. What's okay weird
I just yeah, I'm just completely forget if I've like everything about a film so I get to like kind of watch it again
But were you asking me so that I could tell you about the film?
So I always think like of that when you know or I always think of all is lost just the title of the movie and like
The guys on you know on the boats
I've just got him in my mind on the boats like a freeze frame
Like a movie poster
That's it!
Well, sorry I couldn't help you with this
Let's get rounds from a painter to take that early to try to just move momentum towards their camp instead
On the CT side and break the eco of the mongols but they still got some money
some money. So that's some money. See what they are going to do with it. So it's like
we have a, we're making its way through to the B apartment here for now. These, in fact,
quite a lot of utility on the T's here as well. So they can really toy with the
CT's. Initial CT's, T smokes in mids. Game position, great pressure there. And
So just a default now and
The pain that need to hold their nerve in this one
They got to make sure they don't give opportunities for pics. That's what the mongols are looking for
And now the mongols moving back to the D apartments here James
He's chafing the graffiti
He's just a little further back he's chafing
BSM could be in some trouble because he needs to support the bombsite, but Blitz is creeping
around the corner.
Period.
Doing the best he can cannot stay alive, reinforcements are here though, and BSM has
heard but he can't do anything about that short look.
Three on three now, three on four rather, make three.
9-10 is still fragging like an absolute demon. Doesn't matter if it's a galil.
Snow's got a kit. He's got an AK. He's having a look at it.
He needs to be given something surely before he goes through the door or the window.
I think he's heard the flank.
I don't know if I'm seeing it versus 2.
So he will hide in plain sights.
So the back and forth continues.
We had, like, Nuke was just back and forth between these squads fighting tooth and nail
for the whole map.
And it seems that Mirage might be going that way as well, which means good things for
the viewer.
Yeah, that was an interesting round too, because the CTD fans actually looked really
good, like the setup. They didn't manage to make the kills happen in the ways that they
needed to, because obviously we get Perrier here who only gets one with the spray through
the smoke. So we see him shooting now from the top of the van and then he puts all his
bullets into that. So it's very unlucky, like two players, like super weak for the
T side. So I think it feels just a little unlucky for me not to get a bit more out
of that.
Like you say, the back and forth seems iconic now in this series here today.
Ooh, period down to 24.
Good nades from the Mongols.
Almost a second there for Snow. His teammate desperately trying to trade, but the smoke is just too wide, too fat, too high.
I'm looking for an opportunity from Palace. He's, uh, oh, there it is. He was waiting
for this. All that chaos in mid really gave him some open space to work with.
Oh, his gun is out. No assumptions made. That is so important. That would have been
so epic. That would have been so fun to see what would have happened. Just aren't
Nice cleanup there from in the game for Mongols to just they do you it's so hard to catch them slipping
You know they just they just don't give you the opportunity
Very easy to pull your knife out there
But Mongols know better than to do that
Techno's patrolling all the dropped weapons in mid
That could be an objective for Perrier. He's gonna be going down there. So
So, you can kind of chance maybe an AK or something.
That would be a pretty awesome thing to collect.
I don't know if there's an AK down here, but we'll see.
We can find something.
Yeah, there's the AK.
Oh, he's dead, man.
Oh
That's 24 HP, maybe
And again, oh, oh, have you done it?
Let's find out we were away to see
Will it kill wait to see if you got the AK because that would be really cool
Oh
Look at this, but that's a great asset great, but you still like that. Oh
No one else has Kevlar
I do not expect this AK-2s to survive so Mongols should be good to take the lead here
hold on a second we've got a three on three snow down snow gave no clue about that swing
he just ran up there and did what he needed to do they've got no Kevlar what's happening
don't know where the bomb is that is lost. 910. I mean, can you get the drop on both
of these kills? Is there a, what kind of counter strike timing are we going to see here? This
is, this is looking ridiculous. Oh my goodness. Snow's turns, but there's still two players
though. Another bomb has been spotted. Ridiculous. I think Sierra is looking for a quad kill
it basically peaks in the molly it's 910 as the last man that's worst-case scenario for
pain now which door does he pick
is this reading that oh my god he's gonna hear the running
There's no time. It's so free. It should be so free. Oh, he's bomb out. He's bomb out.
That is not around. They should be losing. I saw the MZ, sorry, 910s camera there. He's
just like, come on, man. Like, how, what is he there? He did not respect your age.
Or rather than he did. Wait, I'm confused now. But this is a sick highlight from
bigger zero. What around this is just this is just a series. It
just delivers so much of this, whatever this is, whatever you
call it.
Nelsby biting.
Yeah, that's like the most common thing you see on these
playcams is nail biting, I think.
But again, pain digging deep for around such as that. Again,
a very big victory in my opinion versus G2 yesterday on Mirage. Many have come back and
that is a great way to claw your way back in. And again, both teams are bringing heavy
artillery to this one. Let's say again, I mean, there was an AK last round for pain.
Now NQZ's got his AWP again.
The way Snow just ran up mid with a USP, he knows the guy's behind the boxes and he just
ran up mid and then just wise swung him with a USP and won the duel.
Is crazy.
You just don't see that.
Timing all the time.
Okay, he got one at least.
Everyone turned away.
Here he is on the side by himself.
He's already a little bit low here.
In the smoke.
How long can he hold on?
Techno needs him dead immediately.
And the bomb, it is on Catwalk.
And Xenia is currently holding its area,
is eventually going to die.
But enough time has been bought for his teammates
to post up AWP ready to go from NQZ
to make it to the door.
Okay, both players spotted now.
Oh, this is now getting a little awkward.
They can reset the position these two.
Snow goes straight through the window.
this very, very bold and he's going to get taken down now.
The H.E. is going to do a lick of damage to Techno,
but now NQC's AWP is on the line.
Does he proceed? The money is not there to rebuy this.
Smug for cover.
Dino around the corner and it's an off angle of off angles
and Dino takes NQC out and that is a disaster round from pain gaining.
Now they know how it feels on this map at a very least.
Cool.
That's a nice flick shot.
Period with this guy.
Many QZ of the M4.
That's interesting.
Maybe spawn base?
Yeah, men with a plan. They have done more with less.
And it's looking for the Trayfraggers. Where's the surprise coming from?
Yes, I'm not showing fully just yet. Big zero, just fishing.
I'm a 5-7 fan.
Feels very plastic, IRL. Polymer.
Oh, and here we go again.
He's 2k.
I think he's back out of action as well.
Three versus two.
It's just every time.
How many times a series?
MZeno 1v3.
He's been in this position before in this exact type of round and he gets down to the scouts.
James, what the hell is this?
This is wild.
Here we are showing, I mean, those are two swift tags with the scouts as well.
missing about with that. Lots of surprises in this series. This is great. This is just
like every single round. Every situation is unpredictable.
It's a good spot for pain though. If the Mongols can't do it themselves to pain in
this round, this is a really good spot to kind of take over the half and get that
momentum goings, we'll see if pain can like make good of that opportunity here because
there are good timing on that, doesn't get the kill though, but some damage at least
onto Blitz as the Mongols try to work the rest of the map, some more chip damage coming
on through from the HE and the Mongols largely denied some of these early access
points might be where to see to stabilize and we actually see an eco
So far yeah, they're securing the round they are pain
Don't know if we've seen more than one eco rounds so far, but either way
That is the force by finally failed consecutive rounds you're looking for
No bomb plants
Good timing.
Wow.
It's a very nice kill from NQZ. I think that's the highlight of that run from me.
And once again, we're going to get everything spent for the mongols.
See if they can make good at the tech now.
So they're going to hit the A site and Snow's going to be around the dark ladder position,
So he's going to be the player that can get the most isolated.
See what damage he can do.
Oh, take 9s the bounds.
Take 9s the streaming in.
Maybe it'll be a stream of tears, oh it's just down to, he's got an AWP!
He's got an AWP, down to the 1 versus 2, he's got the AWP.
And there's a minute fifteen on the clock. Collect the bomb urgently. Is that rotation
herds? Three HP and a dream. Top fragger for his squad on this map so far. Mzeno. With
AWP versus what remains of pain.
You go around.
Almost been planted.
So close, but not close enough this time.
So much more.
Win against pistols.
But it's half time.
There's one round left of all this chaos.
Yeah.
Actually kind of crazy because it goes four versus three in favor of the T side there in the first 15 seconds of that push.
So big turnaround from pain and they could potentially get an 8-4 finish.
I mean this is a potentially very strong CT side for them.
And again, it's going to be another A hit from the Mongols.
It's always worth noting if the short player's got any flashes.
On this occasion, he doesn't.
But if he did, then he can jump through them above the bench position, help his team fight
at the same time.
Alright, snows the initial engage, but it's just one for one, space taken by Mongols to
look upon the bomb, take a zero.
Always collect a second, but the flash just confuses him enough.
Three on three now, Piri is holding onto full utilt, two orbs on the retake, Piri
waiting for the smokes to go. The SM is long gone now, so there's two orbs versus what
remains of Mongols.
Here we are. We know this guy was right next to him. He's got to go for this one. Oh, there
it is. A seven-five. Finish for Payne. Still a good CT half from them. We'll see if
if they can convert and bring us with a map after the break.
I
I'm a hero, I'm a hero
And I need that groove
I'm a hero, I'm a hero
I want to see through you
I'm a hero, I'm a hero
And I need that groove
And I need that groove
You're my best groove
Sleep is groove
You're my best groove
What a crazy a game, what a crazy series.
Will the second half be just as crazy again?
I have not for a long time seen a game where round to round there is so much unpredictability.
As we are seeing here, but it is thoroughly enjoyable for the players it might be stressful.
Not for him, but perhaps for some others.
Again, it is pain who have lost their pick of Nuke, who are fighting for a third and deciding map of Inferno.
Big odds for them as Mongols are a heavy favorite now.
Very tough test, but the test continues.
They're called by the setup from pain to give them an early advantage and have a couple Molotovs and a couple smoke back smoke banks
You smoke bang James I
Am not going to ask
Well as the push comes through and look at the denial couple openers from the CT side
But straight back a good movement there from period
He's actually creating a lot of problems towards A.
However, they still don't know if the B site is safe just yet.
Here it gets confirmation on one player,
but where is the last player?
Is Tecno on B? Is he on A?
They've got to make a good calculated guess.
They're going towards Tecno.
Oh, he's found his jewel, but he will lose it.
So, Payne are in a very good position now. Let's see what the CT's choose to do. They've
got to pick carefully, because there isn't much further for Payne to grow before they
break through the ceiling. It is going to be the full force from Mongols. See if they
can slow them down. What do you reckon, Dan?
Well, given how the series is going, it's kind of favouring the Mongols here. I don't know what to say, but they're moving up mid, looking for some of those close range engagements with the SMGs.
And in the meantime, there might be a really solid timing. They just have to get past this 5-7.
The prefire as well. Maybe not enough checking, but all they get onto the bomb site, because
there's fucking an awkward checkpoint. At the moment they're lining up for the UMP, the
Deagle will help as well. Nothing is guaranteed in this series. NQZ so close to the head,
he will find it eventually. 2-1-2, 7 HP for MZeno, 20 HP for NQZ. The bomb is
on the bomb site. That is the difference maker in this scenario. They need to go where that is.
Yeah, it's it's really interesting because as there's a bunch of plays in QZ could make,
but right now, because it has to maintain the noise here, and then NQZ could either go up cat
or like just do a pause and reheat with bigger Sarah after some silence.
But he's going, he's going like the longest way around for the craziest flank. He's going
all the way and oh, that's a good pick as well by bigger zero and now it's the same senior with seven HP
He has got to be sweating bullets. He knows what might be happening
As he played a clock, do we have time to check the whole bombsite? I
Suppose he could be shorts. I suppose he could be van and he could also be here
He sees the barrel of the garden. He's pre-firing 14 seconds
You've got to win by elimination. The Mac 10 versus the MP 9 SMG party and MC. No does it in the one versus two
my words
You touched every bullet. How is he alive? You'd seven HP
It's serious man, I'm trying to see it see you asked me what do you expect man?
It's what you said and then I was like, oh
That's what you sound like oh
obviously make me sound like a pensioner like wobbling down to you know
pick up some bread on a Sunday morning or something what kind of bread would you
be picking up what as a pretty pretty specific choice oh I mean it depends on
where I'm, where I'm out being a pensioner, I suppose.
Riosh.
Lof.
No.
Riosh, Lof.
I've recently discovered Riosh.
With the rum in it.
You like that.
You like those.
Cakes with the rum.
No, I mean normal daily breads.
Daily breads doesn't have rum.
What are you talking about?
Kind of, you aren't...
I guess things are weird over there.
No, you...
There's no, there's a sorry hair, but we'll...
We'll go back into the game for the moment.
The line tends on the AWP, but that's always a very promising sign for the Mongols.
I've got to search up this thing I'm thinking of.
I still can't believe he's on my clutch.
sounds so good you just mangled in in the face and they are helmetless beautiful transfer
highly new to the rounds look at that everybody standing for one team at the end of the rounds
don't know when that last happens although it's that one hundred new career everyone
had 500 HP 100 HP go on then Panatani Panatani is a good show but if you ate that every
day you probably die of a heart attack it's a once-in-a-while thing but I mean
but you bought one of those ones it had a rum inside of it oh yeah post yeah
possibly you're like here eat this yeah I bring you the good stuff yeah fair
enough everybody should be introduced to panatoni and like pistachio gelato is
another one as well
Yeah, well, we're about to get tied up here in the series.
You're going to commentate the block around and is that what you're going to do?
Um,
I was kind of wrapping it up as kind of like setting the stage.
Now we're out of the block rounds, you know, it's all tied up.
Everyone has money.
And, you know,
all that jazz.
Yeah.
And all that, right?
I'm tense on the AWP.
Let's see how impactful he could be on Mirage.
Look at the aggression.
No, it sends you out there playing for different teams.
It's like the aggression just runs through the whole squad just completely relentless.
I went in mega hungry looking for action wherever it will come from.
There's still a smoke up on the ramp.
Certainly compromise his position.
Enzino playing nasty angles in the palace.
That leaves three players for pain, but we've seen clutches from them before.
We've seen him do unlikely rounds.
Another bomb carrier is heading into palace where two of his teammates have died.
doing what VSM does. May have been seen going back in the hold on a kill cam.
It was a quick turnaround. And again, Big Azure up.
Go back a bit, but goes towards Palace once more.
The benefit for Payne is that his position is kind of ambiguous.
He don't know what Big Azure is.
So this is, and Big Azure has the bomb too.
So it really does give an opportunity for there to be something possible here.
The stars do need to align somewhat, Emsenio, despite being low, as soon as the bomb, he
hears the buttons getting punched on the C4, it's going to be probably game over if that
bomb is not planted in the correct spot.
So, pretty eliminating all the positions, but how much time do they really even have
for this?
Here we go.
They're connected, but Emsenio's straight out there.
It's the round winning play, can't be planted out.
Very well done.
get out of there oh dear died after time no money for you that's an unfortunate one
if you're pain that will keep more girls beyond closed I'll take the lead now so
So it's a cold start to this half for Payne, but again, it's about the narrow victories
here making the difference, the clutch on B, changing the face of this game.
And if Payne are to lose this, they may look back at the unfortunate that round was for
them as the main difference maker, but for now they'll have to forget about it, but
the best foot forward. Trying to bait for information.
He's getting more aggressive, but he's lost your mouth.
That could be collected. And it will be CobraZero tagged.
He needs to stay alive by rotation. He needs to be a point of attraction for this
squad. Running low on the bullets as well, but his teammates have made it over here.
That's a nasty tap on the last player. And there won't be much action.
of noise, but no frags really with that AWP pretty scary. Really scary. Seasonal scenario
there. Nine 10 got like really baited into like going into a deeper position there. I
love to see that. That's a fun one, but still they stable CT side from the Mongol so far
10 to eight. Just a one major hiccup and it's actually quite, it's quite a calm half
Considering what we've had so far in this series, 9-10.
Moving position might catch the lurk in the palace.
That's Peria.
All about the timing though.
And there's mid aggression first from the pain side.
Great opening pick there from VSM.
No trade for MZeno though.
Now Peria starts to move and 9-10's going to catch this.
Nothing is taking 9-10's attention away from this position.
Back to the seats. Oh, he's really looking for it. Oh, you love to see the no scope. It's so instance
He's like no scope flicking
So instant the patience on both squads but as you rightfully pointed out
There's nothing to pull his attention to draw his attention away elsewhere. There was no challenge
And that's an unfortunate surprise for pain
the game. And this is quite
critical for them now like
already. That's such a good
jumping from techno. She
landed on the wrong side, though.
910 is posted up, which might
mean curtains for pain. They've
got some smokes. They've got a
flash and they've got snow
I'm pretty gross. I gotta say
They hear the scoping timing just not with pain this rounds
Just getting teased I mean with yeah, I don't know I
Should be okay the bombs there thinking with 10 seconds on the clock
firing a shot
You're risking losing AWP
90 score almost 11,000, but it won't get there in time. So he's all right.
That's 11 for Mongols. This is such a sick angle.
Yeah. Especially that time of the round because the T is kind of what they want to, I mean,
actually, they had already been spotted, but usually, you know, the T is trying
to keep the element surprise. So they'll walk through angles so you can take these
really tight, these tight shots like that and pretty be very reliable and hitting them.
11-8. It really feels like the game, okay, so I was about to say it feels like the series
is now finally running away from pain, but that's how I felt about them at the end of
regulation on Nuke where it just got passed up first over time and then kind of looked
dead and then they just came back with just the breath of life. So I'll see if
they go to anything in the tank again because he kept the Orblest not forgets
Whereas he can be posted up to begin with so he's moving towards top mids
That's exactly what 9-10 is now
Oh dear
Will be a nice pick up avoiding most of damage as well snow we know he's very capable of AWP I
I was about to say old school Brazilian
With double lots, so it will continue period picks it up. We saw him with the scouts earlier
But they're not lasting long in this round on what are the team of pain gaming?
Just know it to go keep trying to reposition but Mongol seems to be everywhere with just three people
But with these friends is a lot of information for BSM who remains can't quite connect the crosshair with the heads
And do you know what that music means?
What does it mean?
It means it's match points and more than one.
Oh well it doesn't mean that but it means it's match points.
Yeah I think so.
I feel like very calm now considering the chaos we've had for most of the series.
The storm is over.
That's past.
If they have to lose it, well, actually, we'll talk about it later.
Cobra will disengage.
He feels the threats. They don't need to go down early.
Sometimes you just got to fall back.
Flash is being used well at the moment, but can they
head towards 9-10 about more heavy losses?
Indeed, they can. The trade will continue on the bomb site, but it's been cleared out now
as Enzino tries to stop rotation.
Tecno, 1 vs 3, he's got 10k in the bank, his whole team can buy, Blitz is losing money
by winning rounds, which means he has to go for it.
So fast they're good for Tecno, he's got a kit, he's well equipped, knows where one
of these players are.
Actually, over the smoke for the short position.
Fighting the peek on the other side. Pick a tier up.
Just standing in the smoke.
This one might not be the one for Tecno.
Pick a tier around to the corner.
And they secure that one.
Pain are capable of playing with their backs to the wall.
We've seen this before. They can do this.
Yep.
Bomb is taking the time out. They want to shut this one down. You gotta not let these
guys, you guys just don't give it a chance if you can avoid it. They, just like you said,
James, they've done it so many times already. I mean, against G2, it was kind of a similar
scenario actually. They ended up kind of coming back after kind of just disappearing
and just bring it into overtime and just then just winning. So there's always danger.
Into the next rounds, Mongols just have to defend one sign successfully and they'll be good to go.
Pain after the Pinto hands in the road.
Much faster round it looks like towards the A sites.
And Xenia is going close for this one.
And he's going to get just a spray down. Two kills there early.
Here for the Mongol side. And there's no ground gained onto the site.
Do we reset the round here if we're pain? Do they want to just continue on?
Beautiful from period space has been created cobra lurks
And he hears
Be a two-man rotation over that's a really good molly
The softening QZ up
3a case
It's making his way through Palace techno on the ramp cobra running destruction around the stairs
There's great timing from Techno one down, I'm not sure if he's spotted period. That's
a great way to answer those some support flashes. Actually, there's no one to support now. He's
on his own. He's got to pick some good timing, but on this occasion, he won't. It will be
the two zero for Mongols, a strong back and forth on the first map. They take their
pick on the seconds and pit them. Well, more than put them to the post. I mean,
they put them to the post on the first map, but ran away with the second one. Again,
history is not so good on the second one for pain, but they put up their best effort yet versus a very strong mongols
Yeah, it was a great series
And I think you know this just really once again shows that pain of very very dangerous as a team because again
This is a not a fair matchup in terms of the rankings
But it will be a 13-9 finish on Mirage after the slog that we had on you featuring multiple over times where the mongols
eventually did get the win. So they'll move forward, but I think pain can feel very happy
about what they did. And for the next match on the stream, because we still got one more
best of three to go, it's going to be Bates vs. Fyria.
I don't know what the fuck's it all for.
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

Oh, nice spray.
Oh, this.
Why is that happening?

Oh, the King's hand.
OK, very well.
I was ready for that.
Oh, this is Nilo's crowning moment.
Oh, I like the reroutes.

Yeah, it's kind of peace ring hours.
And those four spies, remember those?
They had fun.
Yeah, they did have fun for two rounds.
I was thinking more on the other maps.
I don't think this one's been very fun for them.
Mirage wasn't that fun, was it?
It was fun enough.
Like, this one is a bit of a wrecking.
What about the other game we saw today?
It was GT and FaZe.
Did FaZe have fun?
We love that one.
Not really.
I know that.
It's some great ideas on the stage.
OK, we're back.
Okay, that's jib me up, that's jib me up.
Back.
Okay.
I forgot about that whole bit.
That's a wonder, boys.
So, we were in better form through the phase G2 series.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I don't think so.
Oh, we were.

No, you can't and you shouldn't.
I mean, it will ruin your life, yeah.
You could.
It has some great sleep though.
Yeah.
For a while.
Until it no longer does anything,
which is why you can't take it every night.
I mean, you physically can't sleep anymore.
That's the dream, isn't it?
You have high quarters all day, won't you?

I believe. Just like Matt, you're groaning at the end of that one.
Okay, you need to create a circle. Very good. Stuck the landing, fair play to him.
This game's not exciting at all. Do you reckon Buckethead's brought his buckets?
No. What kind of buckets were they? Popcorn buckets.
You don't want to bring your buckets.
In this popcorn at Hamburg, go get it.
No, it's true. Trace could bring back popcorn buckets from Hamburg for Buckethead.
Yeah, true.
And then we've gone full circle.
Yes, it's time to learn hamburgies.
Yeah, this game's not doing it for us.
I wonder why. Do you think it's the score line?
It's the score line. It's the convincing rounds.
It's just the thing.
We could have said Castler with mouse win.
No respect.
No, but I respect Maus so much that they should already be in the Grand Final.
Yeah, let's fast forward to the third place.
Put them there.
Put them there.
No, I said the Grand Final.
Yeah, but that is said.
Fuck my words, Hamburg.
Maus will be in the Grand Final this season.
They will.
The third place to side it is Maus' Grand Final.
No, they'll be there.
They'll be there.
They'll be there.
Maus vs. Foote to see who graduates first.
It's Maus vs. Spirit.
I've already read the script.
spirit of being a foot. I got a bridge in Hamburg to sell you.
Oh, young star, 1v4 you can feel it brewing. Sometimes you just know ace clutch needed.
Deagle out. Come on, young star. He's primed.
Rosh, can you relax? Yeah, Rosh is yelling. Trying to keep his energy high as well.
Oh, open your mic if he's gonna yell. Can we get Jimmy here for the ace at least?
If we can't get a youngster 1v5, let's give it to Gibby P. Ace.
Right?
Give us a yellow rush.
Oh, misshap.
Oh, give Gibby P. Ace, bro.
Always looks hard.
He's still shouting.
Have you been held down here?
Okay, the final round. Give us something.
Anything.
I don't know how to finish like this on a Friday night.
The people won more.
They go to the club after this.
So bring up.
Yeah, same.
I'm not crazy enough.
I ate a vibe with someone going to the club.
Harry, maybe you want to be on them now.
211.
I couldn't do that.
I can't want to do it like today.
I can't want to be on a car before it goes out to the club.
Oh, tree.
It's not a time.
All right, final dish attempt here for a ride.
How does he get to the date certainly helps?
Harry's dug deep for this final half-time.
I'm really trying.
Look at this!
Come on!
Come on, Heroic!
Do something!
Harry's got MVP for this series, I reckon.
Yeah, it's going up.
Jimmy B drops the bomb out in mid.
Jimmy Beast nails it.
Winded up, Harry.
And this is a done deal on the double-digit half-term hours.
ready to lock in those finals.
I'm away from heroic. They had to go and pick it up.
But look at what they're going into.
A terrifying sight indeed.
Torsi, Jimmy, you hate them both if you're heroic.
And so they're going to try and go elsewhere.
Ooh.
Now towards Freiberg's domain.
Famously the king of banana refreshment.

The final match of the day is upon us. We have finally got there. If you if you have been here all day on the B stream, make yourselves known because it has been a very long day, especially for the boys and girls in production.
props to them for sticking it out because, again, there is more action to come.
So we move into Furia and Bait, not the deciding map, the last series,
this twist-stage round.
Are you all right there?
Yeah, I'm getting there, but the brain was a little fried for a moment there.
So this is to go to the Grand Slam for a moment.
This is how things are currently looking.
Millions of dollars, millions of dollars.
shows you how many chances each team has left. I mean, what do you reckon? It's going to be hard
to catch up with Vitality. Vitality question mark. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's just impossible for
me to not spread the house and the children on Vitality. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. It's going to
to be a tall order to catch up with them, but anything is possible. So let's see by the
end of it, who is going to be closest or going to win? Good luck to all concerned. More money
is always nice. So Furia versus Bates is our last series of the of the evening. This
is how the map pool is looking between the squads. Interestingly, Fallen has mentioned
that if his team make it through to the next stage, he will sadly be unable to attend for
personal reasons. So the coach will be standing in, but perhaps that'll be an issue for later.
And let's see if they make it there in the first place. Mirage looking reasonable for
the furious side. Lots of games played, but yeah, let's see what the veto is going
to be like. So if you're a currently ranked number two and baits are number 19. So
It is going to be, well, no, I would say this is going to be a greater challenge for Bates
than the previous game was for Payne, who again came close to winning their own map pick,
but didn't quite make it there.
So here is where the teams will be playing then.
Bates will pick Mirage, Furia will pick Overpass.
Love me some Overpass.
I think a good battle sniper will like it as well.
You can have so much fun as a sniper on Overpass.
on the CT side especially, and then Dust2 as a decider should it go all the way.
So these teams have met more than once.
Furia get the lion's share of the wins, but it tends to be close.
But if Baked win, it tends to not be close.
They fought last year, they had a 13-3 on Mirage, and a 13-5 on Mirage versus Furia.
Those are the two Ws they have, and there's lots of facts, 13-10, 13-11, 13-9s,
13-8s of late when Furia wins. So, Bates are able to get some rounds even in defeat. So, again,
like we saw Pain step up to the plate and go further, then maybe people would have expected.
Can Bates do the same thing?
It's a tough ask for sure against Furia. I think Furia is such a good team.
in so many different ways, so much star power as well.
That it's, you know, I don't think it's like a similar situation
as we had with Pain in the Mongols,
but Pain definitely looking really good at the moment.
And the Mongols kind of like, not as strong
as a team like Furia is.
So this really does feel to me like the chances
for bait are very, very minimal, James.
But that's just, that's just,
I'm just like, what else can I say, you know?
That just seems to be what we're working with here.
I'd love to tell you a tale, spin a web, a story, a narrative, but there's nothing other
than that, I think.
Yeah. So it's going to be a tall order. But hey, looking again, Cluj de la Poca three
weeks ago, 1311 on Mirage to Furia, 1310 on Inferno to Furia. I mean, that's close
enough. But maybe it's about the fine detail. Maybe it's about delivering. Again, if
If you hear all day, you saw the multiple over times earlier on towards the end of one
in Furnos, there was what I felt was a big choke in our second game of the day.
Are they, you know, so I think when there's a sports psychology mindset, right?
Like if you're usually, I guess how it could apply in this scenario is, you know, your
rank 20 versus rank two, rank three or something on paper, you're supposed to lose.
If you're in a position to win, then you can be afraid to win.
Again, you can play not to lose rather than play normally.
If you will, you can try and be extra careful, which can cause you to lose.
And maybe you find relief in that saying,
OK, this is where I'm supposed to be.
But if you're capable of more, then you have to have that self-image to go further.
So we'll see how it plays out, win or lose.
But there is a tech issue before we get started.
So we're going to go to a quick break.
Let's stay tuned, we'll be back soon.
All position, 12-3 man.
I thought that was a setup of a joke.
No, well maybe it was, you just didn't pick up on it.
12-3.
That's rough.
Can't say that twice in a row again yet.
No.
Once a mouth.
Mud status, there in it.
Deep
Neck submerged
Is this sinking mud? Yeah
You ain't getting out of this
Your last hope your last dream comes down to an SMG
57 combo
Submachine gun. I still have enjoyed watching her. I think yeah, not miss
Oh, it's been a day. They bought a lot of flags, a lot of guts.
Yeah, a lot of guts to give up.
Great stage one, and obviously in a Swiss system,
we're going to see more of a rowing this week in stage two.
That's the good thing about Swiss system, a lot of games.
But not in this one, because Jimmy has taken the cake,
and he's run away 27, looking to finish this series.
And then the last cloud is.
Hamburg, you got what you wanted.
Make some noise. Please make some noise.
Please get on your feet.
And don't forget, you can't feed mouths.
After the shot. After the shot.
You hang around 1030.
There's like a petting zoo now.
Yeah.
You have to interact with the animals after they're done.
OK, cool.
Well, wrap it up, Henry.
Stick a fork in this one.
It's done.
Zzzz.
Unless there's always a chance.
We have seen crazy around this evening.
That's true.
We have.
Not this one.
I mean, he has got no kit and got three players to find.
And the bomb's pretty much already too.
I've got an apple.
He's got it.
Got him right where he wants it.
That's how they feed.
The mud man closes it out.
There we go, folks.
Mouths, 13 to 3 domination across Inferno.
Dust 2 was shaky.
Mirage was muddy.
And Inferno was clear as can be.
It's a total of three.
Yeah, are they taking me?
So you're not mixing your alcohol?
You can drink it, I don't know.
10 hours.
No problem.
It's no problem.
What am I doing?
Choose a job, choose a career, choose a fucking big house, choose academy players.
I
Excuse me?
Oh, so here my story begins.
Oh, so, here my story begins.
I'm gonna kick you!
He was late in the swimming!
Whoa!
And so my fellow Americans, give us the best of our lives!
And so my fellow Americans, give us the best of our lives!
And so, my fellow Americans, give us the major!
Give us the major!
All this world religion, that is praying, man
Advocation, vision, had to get down on my own
I made it this far, I ain't done around
Just know I'm wrong about a movie, that's the speed of sound
I'm trying to straighten it, reach
So I'm gonna turn that ring, bang
That ring, I'm trying to straighten it
I'ma take it, I'ma take it
Baby, who don't know the pain?
Anybody who only knows how long take that chance
Is know who will be with me
With some cheap and cheap play
Yeah, yeah, know what I'm saying
But you're trying to straighten me
So I'ma take their hands
I'm trying to stay real, I'm trying to stay real
I'm trying to stay real, I'm trying to stay real
I'm trying to stay real, I'm trying to stay real
Here with the locals, don't know right
Hey, baby, who the hell don't pay?
And ain't got no money, there's no one home
Take that change, it's not a little thing
You can see them change the place
addicted to since my earliest memories. I was literally Ferris Bueller.
Okay, we are back live here with map one for Furia versus Bates.
Finally getting into the action, picking things off on Mirage, Furia on the CT side, Bates
on the T side.
And it looks like we will have a slow round into probably an A-Play James, because that
bomb has been left in T-Sform, we've got three players, or two players ramp, and
a retake setup for the Furious side on A with more of a B stack. So pretty typical openings
from both sides. So I'll see now that Baytug's beginning to gather to say whether they're
ready to go for the hits. Alex on the smoke and double flash duty.
You gots.
Now everybody.
All hands on deck for this push.
Again, the CTs are playing retakes and no one committed onto the sites for this defense.
And that is fine.
Since he's got a P250, which is great to see.
He's in Palace.
Oh, that's perfect!
P250 on the pistol round, doing what it's supposed to.
That's what we're talking about.
I think that was the smoke that was being held by Yuri as well, which ends up going
against Furia.
There's a grand plan with that.
That plan has been thwarted.
Remaining three players have got Kevlar and it looks like they will hold onto that, which
is smart.
Now, NPR and Sizi, again, they want to get those cheap helmets so they do not want
to take damage, but Molodoy is heading towards Teespawn so it might be... everybody takes
damage.
Let's see.
Very careful pistol round though by Bates. Oh, denied. And they get far enough away.
Again, everybody's aware of this detail. And it used to be, like, obviously many years ago,
that people didn't really could make these considerations, especially a save on a pistol round of the Kevlar and so on,
and there was a moment where it's like, hold on, this is more valuable than getting, say, one frag and losing this round.
round. So again, this is what CS2 is. After so many decades, the edges are all important.
Put the stack on there right now for Furia. It's gambling.
I was very fortunate to see Mollardoy's debut events in Esthana first hand right at the,
it was like the bottom of the J curve for Furia was right at that point. They jumped the rankings
significantly event to event after that and it was really cool to see you know Mollardoy in
front of the home crowd and it's like home city. That's a very rare thing that you could
ever get to see. And he crushed it too. So, that's pretty
hard to ask so much more than that.
You could probably get flattened in this round.
Right then.
This is like, oh dear.
I'll get that later, see if this is a survivable round for baits.
Well positioned Furia, causing all kinds of problems.
That will be a beautiful grenade.
K-Torato still standing for now.
Oh! Down to the wire.
7 HP, was that? 7 HP?
Yep.
Oh, that's scary. Scary. Furia stamping their authority on this game already.
It's interesting there because we... I think in some of the series we've seen so far, we typically see
T-Sides trying to confirm where the stack is. And here, you know, this is the reason why this
goes like this is because they walk straight into the stack. And very problematic, definitely
lost quite a bit of money there. We'll see if that can be capitalized upon here. Another
hit onto the A site. This looks a lot faster. It's just looking to rip it straight away
and the AWP from all of the way is rotating through to tick it now. There we get some good
damage. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
That's too many through the smoke. And this push is dead in the water. Goddamn. It's
It's like they're pissed at how late the game has started, and they want to go to sleep.
They start to like, don't worry guys.
I've got this.
Seven to one after.
And especially because they just kill four people.
Yeah.
Yeah, put them straight into the bin.
Alright then.
Alright then, fury up.
everybody's happy to see Fallen at the top of CS again. Oh yeah. For a number of reasons,
A because it's Fallen, B because it's because he's showing that it can be done.
Yes. I think that's one of the biggest factors for me is, is that it's still an experiment,
you know, the eSports is still young. We don't know how long careers can truly be.
And there's a lot of theories, but I believe if you are willing to sacrifice what it takes to
sacrifice, I think it's possible that a very, very long career like Fallen is happening. So I totally
agree. Yeah. The fighting pride of this country.
Hongmei, continue. Work continues on this round though. He's gone. He's been smoked like a
kipper this is a save I reckon oh definitely is now but your kindars at the
point of no return my words okay good I'm happy to see this an answer back from
from base again underdog story maybe a bigger one than we had in the previous
match of pain versus Mongols.
Galastruc is such a dangerous game in the pro level. You kind of have to give respect to,
or at least on default level, of respect to pretty much any team you face because, especially
if you're the absolute favourite like Furia are, because one, they can study your material
a lot more easily. And then secondly, because just the average level is a lot higher than
it ever used to be. And so just if you're on the wrong side of the variants, they've done
that prep work, they can hit their shots, they got really nasty mechanics. You can get
in trouble against anyone in this game. And so yeah, Furia, not the best start for
They're gonna be in a lot of trouble if they don't win this round
That's my smoke not my smoke, but the one I throw
Copy that from flush of the sideways throw. It's a problem. I mean maybe the pro game is not but if you
Choose to learn that one
Someone will just stand in your way while you're running sideways and ruin it. So
It comes with risk
We're not in a pro game. Pretty reliable.
If you want to see some other crafty ones, Homes is YouTube channel.
Here's a good place to be.
Oh, shots exchanged as he gets himself the kill though, and they're going to reset back
into the A sites if they're lurk on mids on the chair position right now.
I like this getting active here Furia to the T ramp. They sense the plays coming
That's a lot of information straight away and
Yeah, he doesn't know how low Tizzy is
Still a difficult swing though, but a three versus two it is in favor of fury up. They know one is to the ramp
But where is the other one?
Flix announces his presence. Sizi drops on the ramp. Now what do you do? 20 seconds.
I'm walking into a triangle of doom here. So you kind of pulls away, but not far enough.
Tongue twister. Apparently. Left to hold on to what he has.
No chance of planting the bomb there. There's no reason for them to peek based on the time.
There's no more winning on in this round to be done for Alex. Oh
What's on earth from one perspective to another that was a pixel frag
Yeah, not too bad not too bad at all
Period back in looking to stabilize double ops for them in Mordor
Oh, the stairs position stairs is such a fun position because you can you can you can be
active in so many different ways into connector up to the stairs and the sites so many so many
angles of positions to work through.
And oh, what a shot from Alex just finds a pick on the case of rato in connector.
Now there's a little bit of trouble there.
They've also worked to MPL all the way through it behind B.
It's not, they're not looking for this at all.
So much damage, five versus three now.
Oh, tough position for Fallen to get a multi-frag in.
The excuse is himself from the situation.
That's the best option.
He cannot afford to die here.
What else is left in this round for them?
Yeah, completely out-positioned.
Think it's about holding space to save now.
Very powerful save if they can manage it with two AWPs.
And you're really on the run as well.
Oh my gosh, look at the hunts.
Look at bait they are streaming in.
Sometimes it can feel like an eternity to pull out the grenades
and then be able to throw the grenades
and you can see you're just like,
Nah. It's not worth it. Let's just run high somewhere.
Come forth we go then.
Again on paper, it will be a tough one.
There will no doubt be a tough one for Bate, but they are currently moving
4-2 over Fury up in the first map of the series.
Wow.
Very nice.
It seems like teams are struggling today, at least on the D-Stream, to just get momentum.
You know, when you're getting ahead of winning against the false bias pistols, whatever it
might be, that seems like a big challenge.
Things falling apart easily.
Need some more glue.
Is glue made from horses?
I don't know.
I feel like it might be.
Maybe you can be.
It's probably a good time to remind people about the DHL mailbag.
If you have questions, relationship advice or otherwise, for the B stream, add B stream
to your title.
And we will give you the best advice going.
It can be made from animals.
You die, can I make glue from you?
No.
Let's see how this buy goes for Fury.
Again, they've got the two AWPs from the previous round that a great focus on a quick look.
Fury sees nothing as base are well hidden.
Does that pull rotation elsewhere?
They haven't contested mid for the time being just trying to control connector.
Best time passes. There may be concerns in that position. Sizi goes for the crouched peak
And he will pay for his insolence
Five on four then NPL drops as well. This one not going so well for bait so far
Stuck in sandwich
It's kind of this is a hard spot to move from
Okay, I guess even worse
being locked down there and just doing the toy with essential with the trade until you
kinder and Alex with the kill and connector. Maybe that opens up some space now. It's 40
seconds to go. Wow. What a shot from Alex. He is really popping some answers so far today.
There's F1P coming up versus two. Imagine being on a receiving end of that. I would
disconnect, but there's more to be done. 28 seconds to CTs. This will be a very
Interesting swing case Rato is making the steps to try and break trying to lay that one block won't happen the five sevens enough
For the first one Alex will surely look. Oh, no, he doesn't the baddest as well. What a crazy 4k
How on earth?
And Sally skies he's popping off
That's crazy
Pretty unbelievable kills actually so far in this game
It's a good shape from a central to then Alex just owns everybody else
That is not
Easy to do that's not an easy decision to make to even look back there with all the other places the city might be
Special awareness is through the roof furious economy is in the bin
It'll be a slow start then
for the favorites this is the pick of bait that's showing us why that's true
definitely a lot of comfort here these pistols mostly that way so that's good
news
all right sit-two
still I'll see they can do this off it could be a big half there's definitely
opportunities Alex has been doing in there.
Double ops have come out, but it's just in those rounds that
can't really get firing off. Just they have been getting
these opening entries, just all had the space to work with.
I've a furious so far more the way back on to AWP.
So he just going for around the side of the smoke, not
Any fear at all?
in this round. You can see that pushing the apartments, the pot flashes for Yuri.
The combination is pretty solid. The smoke in the apartments as well. Oh dear.
Kaster Ratter could be in for another multi trigger discipline. He's looking
for a second and he will find the objective. Line him up. Zip him up.
Okay, for another one. But I think he's done enough.
Yeah, he was close to 10 HP for essential 30 seconds to go, thanks.
Again he's going to find a very key entry that opens up the site now.
There's a path to planting, there's no HEs, no incendiaries, nothing to prevent this bomb
from going down though.
And Alex really do this again, he's 8 and 2 at the moment.
the cap position against a lot of heat right now. The AWP of Moldova is definitely a big
problem. Alex is in the clutch again. He plays in front. Instant kill onto the AWPer. Huge
frag to find. Alex, he keeps on doing it. 14 HP. Looking for the final swing. The final
frag has to be the deagle now. This is ridiculous. Is he kinder to trade it? I mean the
The fact that it even was a possible scenario that is in of itself absurd.
Oh my god, James. This is ridiculous.
We've got some good games today.
We've got some highly entertaining, unpredictable games
where people are doing a lot with a little.
And we've got many back and forths in multiple rounds.
to make things viable. Early advantages only last so long.
They need to take the time out, too, after picking that one up. They're 7 and 2. They
want to just completely crush Viria. Don't blame them.
Alex is popping off now.
he is. We've just seen some great clutches. And he's completely emotionless, which is
fantastic. That's the kind of psyche you want for a game. You don't get excited about a
big play. You just move on to the next round. Consistency is more accessible with such
a mindset. Furia will have a buy for round 10. Okay, Serato being harassed immediately.
Furia will have some great results at the beginning of this one. I'm in a 40 on the
clock and they've got a 5 on 3 on Mirage. Oh, did he check properly? I swear he looked
up. Either way, Sizi's got much to do now.
Sizi against the wall.
Sizi needs to rescue the bomb.
Sizi is in a lot of trouble.
Phew, so we're gonna miss.
The patience is paying off. It's so interesting to take a step into the mind of somebody in
the clutch, especially when it's a sniper. Just trying to visualize how the opponent
puts this up against you. Oh! Oh! It was becoming doable. God, these players are scary.
Yeah, the flanker the visualization is so interesting like you can see it and how they're holding the angles and are trying to give themselves cover.
But yeah, I'm sure I'm sure he.
Kansas or looked up when he came out, but I guess he didn't look up enough.
he didn't look up enough very important pick up two for fear that three on the
board now feeling a little bit better but jumping out into mid case rato looking
to get some early early frags here but there's actually three T's so this
might be a bit challenging because he's a he's by himself here finally into
the smoke where he's susceptible to getting sprayed and that's exactly what
happens one for one though he does see two players but there's so much time
in the rounds here, that information value kind of decays over time.
Okay, so RRT has been doing all the lifting, he's 14 and 8.
They don't know the climate over towards the B apartments.
Sizi moving through.
Town queues for Fallen.
Slows them down a little.
Sizi traded.
Kinda doesn't know how many plays are on this bombsite though.
So sharp on that first one.
Narcan Cezora is in the clutch.
to buy some time. Help is on the way with all of 6 HP, Yuri. The akin does not exactly
what he needs to be. Be a nuisance, draw attention, stay alive, allow his teammate to finish off
the job.
Okay, it's a tough start for Furia here against the underdogs. Interestingly, Baiter
are actually only 20% win rate on Mirage over the last three months with five maps played.
They've taken losses to Aurora, Mongols, Furia, previously in Pain, and NRG. So they're right
now really swinging very hard. It's it to be five rounds for Furia though. Not a great
buy here from base as they kind of work some of these positions early.
Pirato these have been quite the game though two kills added to the tally 16
and turn also fun now this half with the AK feeling a little bit difficult now
for Bates
I think it's also worth noting on the three meetings against Furia on Mirage
two of which were last year they did be Furia 13 3 and 13 5 so have to
trying to channel that energy so far so good, but there's more work to be done.

Welcome back to the B-stream here where we are now continuing Furia versus Bates.
Bates had a stunning first half against Furia with a 7-5 advantage, but now Furia are on
the T side to dictate the pace.
We'll see if they can find the recovery that they're looking for.
Looks like the pace of this pistol round may be a little faster than the first one.
Oh, Ding Dong from your kinder.
An essential is dead.
Sizi, the back of the site. Back of the head, he will connect.
Oh, so close. He delivers the second one.
Time for a reload. Has he got more left in the tank?
Not according to Fallen.
Two on two. Bomplunt would be crucial here for Furia.
Okay, Sirato was halfway pressed on his mouse one, but Alex was faster. Fallen in the clutch
now. Isolating the fight. It's pre-firing all day and securing that pistol. That's huge
for Furia.
That's pretty massive. Very, very nice way to win a pistol clutch. Mr. Fallen, the professor
himself. And they're very needed to again they are having a bit of a rough
mirage against Bates so far. I haven't really managed to kind of get going.
It's just case or other that's been just gone crazy. As you can see 16 and 9 on the
scoreboard doing a lot of the work at the moment. But these pistol rounds are
rather these force flies have been very difficult to date.
One of the way though able to take down both players in Palace. So that's a
a huge win early in this round for Feria.
You just have to now figure out how they want to end the round.
The bomb is still down towards T spawn,
so decisions are still to be made.
What is your player if you're the CTs?
You've got two guys on A.
What does your third man do?
That's a great question. What does kinses all do here?
Do you take the risk and go from apartments push or something try and find something just do you just all combine together?
And try and save if you picked the wrong bomb sites
with four alive, maybe be furious and at least one information man to
Understand the climbers on a bomb site
Okay, so Rato
Towards be while the rest posture up
He might come through the B window towards Short, perhaps.
Later on, he was through the underpass.
30 seconds, NPL spotted.
Can he run enough distraction?
Will essential be checked for?
Time could be on his side.
You can see all the other CCs are trying to make no focus anywhere else, but now he's
got to get activated.
leaves MPL with his baby or like a little nipper bite your feet so the easy rounds now to be
over with after this next one obviously deal with the force by
really good stats
let's see force again you know I think they should force over you around
there's there's there's sensible there's sensible
they are sophisticated refined
Internet gentlemen that would be a good name for any sports team Internet gentlemen I think
I'm on to something there no Landon Norris is a fan of counter strike he likes playing
I think he streams CS that's cool he could be like a ambassador for internet gentlemen
very nice indeed
yeah a long time ago there was a pretty famous basketball player I think that was into starcraft
very starcraft in like 2014 or something it was like an NBA player and everyone was going
pretty crazy about that I forget what the player who the player was now
does alex have something to offer yeah is he gonna make this a little more interesting
The answer is no.
There was a threat for a while. The threat level was raised.
What's the, what's the, if it was in colours, what would the base colour be?
Green.
Damn.
That's harassment.
Yeah, you gotta watch a bunch of seminars now. Good luck.
Yeah.
Sensitivity training is required.
Oh, good times.
I'm like if you're caught speeding for the first time in the UK and it's not a completely
outrageous speed, you have the option to go to a speed awareness course where people
just talk at you about speed for half a day.
Re-education camp.
I may or may not have done that recently.
Oh, your kinder has been lost very early in these.
Bates are off to the races in 16.
timing for Molotov, though, we can't quite get the ticket play. Sissy with a re-peak and
Molotov will finish it on the second look. MPL playing our stairs position with Alex up here,
guarding the balcony. Definitely still makes entry quite difficult though.
Opportunity for a fight. Wow, what a connection to the head from Alex.
Although two versus three still alive is this round for the moments,
but now it has just gone. Totally gone the chances
for the furiosites to build any momentum early on into this one, as you may have expected
them to. It's just a very rough and just difficult mirage for them so far. It doesn't feel like
they're flowing yet.
You know this lad, Sizi, is 16 years old. If you just look at, like, A, again, that
clutch in Palace with the second man coming out and D the fact that he just doesn't seem to care
whatsoever like he's 16 years old that's crazy
what a great what a great mindset do you remember simple when he was young but he was much younger
playing on teams like flip side tactics
Raging, doing whatever he wants to do, not caring blades, and his teammates.
Or blade, what a hero.
Ordered it, not allowed to buy the orc, well, I'll just buy one as well.
But this guy...
I should be orping.
This guy is emotionless in the best way.
That is rare, even for somebody twice his age.
So he will absolutely be one to watch again there. The game sense is crazy. Very impressive.
You an emotional player?
I've had a game so far.
When you were playing Pro Quake, were you an emotional player?
I say pretty normal. There's definitely some players that are very, very good at managing
and handling emotions, especially like the 1v1 players. It's 1v1 actually. I don't think
this is something that's maybe appreciated as much in Counter-Strike. The pressure is
all on you, and so it's actually does magnify the level of emotional control that you
need because it's much harder to deal with. Any time you make a mistake, it's super
magnified. Obviously if you lose a clutch in this game, that's like a moment where you feel
like it's all on your shoulders, but when you're playing 1v1 games, it's always on your shoulders
all the time. And any mistake you make, it just feels 10 times worse.
I guess you don't have the frustration of the people around you pissing you off because
it's just you. I guess it's not like a one-for-one comparison. But you played Team Quake as well.
yes all right we'll get back into that later yes the match resumes eight eight
per bait and furia we'll see exactly what furia can do here with these pistols
more of the way on the orb still as well he is positioned on the catwalk here
looking for the pick into connector and he's always gonna get caught by
I see the great cold there on that angle and then MPL takes the opportunity through window and suddenly furia
There's cut dead in the water again. We can't really make their way forwards and
Now bacon's playing more passively. They've done all the work they needed
That's about to individual brilliance. Oh act on the radar surely
So we saw him come out on our exes POV, but Alex didn't see him
I guess he was start looking at the rice of his screen
but I feel like you get a question mark or something surely on the radar in that scenario.
Maybe not. By the way, there is a pick that they needed and now Fallen is looking for an
opportunity to be provided to really get the wheels turning in this one.
He plays live T-Side Mirage. Something can be done.
Actually getting the bomb plants out of this. No one in that short position. Fallen is
looking so bait playing it safe very safe they've got smokes and flashes oh just
not expecting him to walk out dry that is brazen expendable man just walking
into the bombsite it's like a silent retake this is crazy have you seen
anything like this oh my words like no utile no flashes nothing they're
expecting them to announce their president in advance, they just came in of no invitation.
The Kindle seems rude that too, even though Kensa Saw was kind of just hit a headshot,
very very close to him, like you would think that that audio she would maybe have given him a sense,
but they're just expecting to see more.
more. Hey, it just seems so crazy. What you were saying? You got to respect it. You got
to respect it. I've never seen a resake like that in my life. Put the Spheria back in the
bugs. We've got enough left.
Central should have an easy time here. Nice peek, though.
Nice little crowd peek. But essentially, it doesn't have to
do much in this round. It's just a particular delay.
Ultimately, it's just efficient down what she's done.
Now, Seamus can reposition a little bit, although they
actually aren't just yet.
And the source on the cap position so he can of course catch the players dropping out of the palace
Cannibal long be found for furia
This or else anyone versus three
Oh
All right, they'll keep them spending the bombspot, but they did plenty of damage to
CC economy, which I think might just make up for it if they can build on that later on.
looks out. Moldoi looking to get the pick of the apartments, perhaps? Where is he going
under? He's walking under. Says he's been pretty good with the officer fights. He's getting
the better of Moldoi. One of the issues that can face some of these top teams is that
sometimes, or it's actually not uncommon, it's hard for you to be fired up to deliver your
like better performances when you're in a group stage, when you're a team that's used to being
on the stage at events, or you're used to playing for the big, like the big pressure
games. When you're used to that, like all of the other games don't feel like they have
pressure in comparison in the same ways, which is actually kind of a nerf to your
performance sometimes. So it can be hard to focus as hard as your opponents might
might be in this situation.
Oh, Sissi deciding what he wants to do that.
He looks to peek the connect- oh, they both have orbs as well.
Double-winder.
Nice mark.
The bomb needs to be collected.
15 seconds.
It's going to get double-picked.
It's a great swing from NPL, but he's not ready for Sissi to be holding the same
angle.
Nasty surprise for Furia.
And Fulna's like, bop.
Oh, oops.
Yep, I'm on camera.
What a rough spot. Nothing to help them recover the bomb there and
Unwinnable TV to base so close. They're doing a great job here. I mean I
Like also the switch up in defense because they they've been fighting mid quite a lot
Just holding on to connect it but that time they can they totally just voided that position gave up all of those spots and
Forced forced a fury to kind of go in to these really exposed angles
So, I like the mix-ups since TT set up, so yeah, they looking very comfy right now.
Oh, so we're gonna hit. Nice.
This is a threatening round for Furia, from Furia, rather, with their Tech Nines.
I believe in Tec-9s.
They have been the truth for years.
That's the pistol I'm a fan of.
I still have scars from the CZ era.
Daring.
A pilgrimage towards B. They're going to walk into a split at 1.27.
Off they go!
Eventual, you are in so much trouble!
This is all stuck in the checkpoints as well. Oh man, so many targets. Not too shabby with
that HE. NPL getting his bell rung. What an urgent situation. One planted how much more
is there left in this one? Fallen in the apartment with the tech 9 looking to cut
the whole thing. He's looking on all the doors. Where are you off to son? Down to
1v1 he's got 23HP, smoke's throw up. Oh! He's onto the sights! He's got one!
Oh man, he is fighting tooth and nail. What a problem, Corsa. He needs to be put on the list.
That's crazy. I can't believe he gets onto the sight actually. That seems so bold.
They didn't even need to get onto the sight. He's wild, he's moving, he's grooving.
Wow, through the smoke. Why not?
12-8 Bates looking to take map 1 away from Furia.
I didn't think that they had much of a shot here, but clearly I was wrong.
Into the mid attack they go and it's like they're promptly disengaged.
Re-entry though from the Furia side, Sissy's still out of here.
Let's cover a smoke, can he get out here? He's still out there though,
re-peaking into this on the side.
Unpunish, though.
of this game could be great.
Kansas all repositions.
He's got great help from essential and one of the ways not ready for that one.
up to ribbons, our furia leaving Yuri in so much trouble.
He won't last long.
Aids take their pick of Mirage.
That might be a surprise to many versus Rack 2, but they are not here to mess around.
You are bot!
What?
I told you before you're f**king bot!
Hashtag remove this update.
Okay, so my name is Miroslav Pohotyev.
My alias is Zontix.
Let's see, let's good answer. What a professional, what a professional.
Here with Fallen, you don't need any introduction. And we're going to talk about, I was going to say one of your favorite maps.
Is Overpass one of your favorite maps?
Yeah, I would say so. I like Rippers of Love.
a lot. Where does it fill in all time for you? After a train. It's for your number of
players. Okay, I should have done a train with you then.
Yeah, and for a person. Well, we're not overpassed now.
This is where, on the CT side, are you just letting the players call the openings
based off of the flow of the game once you get past the opening game plan?
Yeah, so I would say that this role here for the Ryforn A, I think at least on CS
goal. It was the position with the most
opportunities for higher ratings on every
single position in the game. So like the
right-flim position is one that really
can do a lot on the map and it gives
you opportunities to be playing well. And
I would say that his job is literally
knowing how to play
effectively in different areas. So there
will be rounds where you want this
rifle to be effective on this area. Like
he's going to be aggressive, he's going to have
some plays. Sometimes that's two, sometimes
that's three, even as far as
sometimes spirit will bring four players here.
If they know the other teams are going to play a
big game. If you need some options being aggressive on fountain, aggressive on playground, I think
that a secondary way of playing it is just really a block in the infotility in the beginning of the
round. You're going to be throwing a smoke here to make sure that they don't know what we're doing.
Right? Sometimes this smoke modic combo is going to be just for faking it. Sometimes you're going
to be playing around it. So he wants to be throwing this a lot of times because then
they cannot really win. Because if you only throw this when you want to use it, people
are like, okay, he's coming, right? So he has his own game. And then I think there's a
secondary game where they're gonna pair up, for example on pilots, I'll propose rifle or even on
this part of the map, but I think that most of the time it's all about this rifling understanding
which kind of pressure the other team wants to apply and which kind of things that they can
punish for example. Okay, so for example I think I know that Yakindar is going to be looking
for what our opponents are doing when they go may and he's not trying to understand where
he can have impact, where he can punish something and then everything that's happening here
sometimes it's going to bring Yuri back to A. So the less aggressive they are, for example,
if you go more like VP old style or Jame and Feynman playing super passive and they don't really
care that you're going to come A, then you will normally have this Alper playing retake mode.
The Raph is going to take as much as he can. They're going to throw a defensive smoke and then
you don't really need the retake guy to be much away because they're playing so passive that
they can play more 3B, you know. So this Raph's position when he's playing more passive
or playing for example here on long passive, it gives you an indication from when this guy has to come up to A.
Or sometimes you can also think like, I think they're going to take out this map and go back to B, so you would stay B.
So we don't really have only two players on B, you know?
Okay, let's say you're doing a more passive setup like this.
Is this the type of thing that you are happy to total up across the map?
Kind of like Nuke where you're giving a lot of map space.
Or is this type of thing we want in this scenario to have short control so that we can flank up connected behind?
I personally think that the passive game on Overpass is more suitable, but there are teams
and I've seen, I think that on Tier 2, even more, they're much more challenging, right? They're going
to be taking space, this duo is going to be taking short together, looking for kills. And I mean,
it's great if you're catching the lurker off-guard and you're getting a 5v4, then of course it's
worth it. But I also think that if the other team is playing on a high level, you're going
to get punished a lot doing those things. And then that's where I think thirdly up is
a little bit better. But eventually, I think the best case scenario, you know how to play both,
But I think teams should be playing better than the first because otherwise you're not going to get there.
No fundamentals if you don't have the passive stuff down.
5v4, T-Side Overpass. How confident are you in a round with them? Because it's still a very C-T-Side map.
Off of one pick are you like 70% of the time we should be converting that? Like what do you
think? I know it's hard to put numbers on it, but...
Yeah, I would say that if you find this queue on the rifle, there's two ways the
the CTs can think. One of them is instantly rotating towards A and going for a three-man
A defense where they're going to even push up stuff more or even gamble away. But that's
going to be not played too much in my opinion anymore because the CTs already know that
the pressure has been applied on A and they know that the T's know that you were rotating
A. So sometimes people are just going to say, I'm going to solo with the LPA, you
guys stay 3B. Hope for them to go B. And then if you are trying to be smart
to the service, you're going to say, OK, they're coming towards A, let's go
B and then if you don't have due diligence or if you just think it's a normal round if you go 5v3 on B
And then it's normal the rifle kill on A doesn't really matter right if the players on B are playing well
If they get multi kills then the death away doesn't really matter
So you know it's it's not too easy to to understand what's gonna happen after this first kill and I think short
Presence is important on this moment
So the same way that sometimes you are capturing some control over a and you want to have lockers
You want to have long on some situations you want to take a look on short
you want to make sure that you have it. I think nowadays on CS2 CTs doesn't really stay here much
because the positions that you can stay here are not too strong anymore. Back on the days you
could stay on top of this rail here, right? You were watching Monster, like I called this TV position.
This position is not so great anymore on this game because of the high of the rail.
Oh really? Okay. Yeah, it's not as good as it was before. So you know, nowadays I'm still
checking for this short area to give me more reasons to go B or open up the map,
but I feel like it's already giving up to you anyway, but still I think it's crucial
For UST, okay, I got a Q on A, I opened up Short again, so they have to be scared of B.
And then you can think of a game. And then it's pretty much like all the other maps and
all these gambling decisions that the cities can take, but yeah, overpass.
If you can't really do much of fakes as well, I don't feel like this map is too great to
be faking, go back faking it, it's hard to play like that too.
I feel like one of the things that is good for though is like the C-Saw. So not like
a full-on like let's throw Nades and then we'll just rotate B because they're
they're obviously going to beat you on rotation.
But it's just about putting the pressure
and then taking space,
putting the pressure and taking space
because if you do have all-con control,
short control and bathrooms on the T side.
Yes, they have your short industrial.
It's all great.
They have everything you want.
Yeah.
As you're pressuring A,
you can have a guy searching short
to either catch rotations or see if the site's empty.
That's one of the things in the modern game
that Super Key is your lurks
knowing when to be active enough.
Yeah, that's very micro decisions
that microtiming, micro-understandings where they might have gone for a 3A,
have to check it, and it's worth to go for this 1v1 or 2v1.
But yeah, we have a word in our team that we call it Pinocchio.
Pinocchio?
Yeah, and basically we're trying to sell a lie, you know?
So for example, if we kill this guy on A,
and I know that there's a chance they can go B or 3A,
sometimes I'm gonna tell the A players we're closer to Pinocchio A,
so they understand, like, I have to apply a little bit more pressure,
however I can in order for them to be a little bit more convinced that it's a
and then this is the micro timing for the new players you know they are doing the
the lie they're selling the lie on the other side and then the lurkers have to
capitalize that okay this is this is this is all they can do you know okay
they're gonna communicate I'm done like this is all I can do and then they
don't have this opportunities to be going for those kills it's a it's
important keyword interesting yeah okay well cool thank you for giving us
some of your thoughts on other parts that's it the good maps
Hard to play on Pugs though, but it's a good map completely.
Yeah, just don't play it on Pugs.
It's hard for myself.
It's hard.
So we have to go into the hole?
Oh, whoa!
Oh, okay, for good.
No, he's got it, he's got it.
His song is blowing out.
Oh, mama!
I killed the man!
Info, Info!
One Colossite, one Colossite!
And one...
Taco!
Taco!
One global one!
The one who was in the ramp!
He was in the ramp, he has legs!
Damn it!
Let's go!
Let's go!
2!
Damn!
He was 24, I should have finished him off!
Damn, he was 24, I should have finished him off.
Pause.
Guys, can you do that task on this calendar?
You go on the smoke left side, make sure it goes short.
It's gonna be going monster.
You're gonna spam the smoke that's right on the cross,
and the ball goes the rest of the cross.
Okay, you got it? Make sure you understand.
Crows in the back.
He's alive in the game.
It's only 7-1. We can win, boys.
It's just Mollet Dory and Yuri in a 2v4 now, and this is where you wonder if that communication
will come into play.
I'm gonna finish up for you.
He'll flash for him.
I'm gonna flash, yeah.
Okay, alright.
Okay, go.
Okay, let's go.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Guys, I understand towards the boom.
Okay. It can still work. It can still work.
USA CS Renaissance is a powerhouse.
Pedro might just be there too! As Apex! Oh my!
I'm really bad in English.
Let's go, Nico!
No, it's Nico!
Let's go!
I'm gonna kill you!
Well, well, well, the Mirage statistics between Furia and Bates continue to go in Bates favor,
while overall they have had six map wins for Furia and two for Bates in the map pool overall.
Mirage in particular was a good battleground for Bates. Like last year, they smashed Furia
multiple times. They lost to them more recently, but this is all information that can be used
for the future and use it. They did a very good set of players do Bate with some good,
you know what? I've completely forgotten what I was trying to say. So why don't you
Paul now. Well, it's like it's time.
So good.
There you go. The cameras. That's not a game.
Yeah. Well, it's close enough.
Isn't it? It's bloody close enough.
So OK, we're going to overpass.
Do you realistically see this series working out for Bates?
Overpassed us to based on what we saw in Maraj.
They're definitely better than I thought in terms of form today.
that is. Um so I see one result
versus Aurora where they lost
1310. In February. I am making
no assumptions. What I was
trying to say earlier is that
they've got like a very. They've
got a very steady hand. All
these players. They don't seem
to bring emotions into this
game whatsoever. I mean the
sample size is small like if
the past and we'll see if they become more animated. But I think that is very, very important
in this particular series as well, not caring about the opponent or the scenario comfortable
at home. I mean, who knows, if you're in a big LAN and there's loads of proud making
noise, it may be different, but in this environment, they seem quite ready. And
the odds seem quite reasonable as well.
He saw an interesting breakdown of Overpass from Fallen during the break with Spongebob.
I do quite like the map as well, as many of you may know already, so the balcony has
been smoked off, and there is some prefire asking questions of the Tees through Monster,
But through short, your kindar and Yuri will clear house, Sisi and NPL have an unfortunate
rotation.
Unfortunate because their teammates are dead.
Blood has been spilled.
Bombs have been planted.
And I don't think the counter terrorists are going to win on this occasion.
where I saw that. So I'm very excited to see that. It's like Alec. It's that made a really
big gift.
Okay.
Definitely capable. So opportunity not, it would be big for them to two zero if you're
I think he'd be big for anyone to 2-0 Furia who's not in the top 10
Force by
Not really anything left in the hole for Bates
Nagamma I always think about the AWP
And the scenario such as this
They're fully committing
That was an easy one
Of course the shadow will concede Fallen's position before he rounds the corner.
That was enough warning.
For a good start, do you see how much he looks for the headshot there?
He really made sure he landed the headshot.
And maybe that gives his team an opportunity.
That was nasty.
we go and straight into molodoy watchful the watchful molodoy hey well it's like
the danger has been abated for now we usually do lots of just heinous puns
that's my first one since we've been casting last a few days yeah well we
We had a brief moment with Try.
True, true.
That was nice.
That was nice.
But I wonder, like, you know, should that force by go wrong?
Let's see what the money looks like, but
if you're not going to have an AWP on the by-round, how much of a setback is it, I wonder?
Because
it can quickly
be missing for
for most of a half. Well, I think it'll be okay. A calculated risk. The frag certainly
helps. Nice detail. Oh, there's one of them off-seat. He has been popped early, very early
Indeed. Yeah. And this is when you don't have all the map control in the world. This is awkward on overpass.
Very nice. So replay that. Look at that map control. They've got two guys in connector and two guys in the playground. And there's a minute on the clock.
This is this could be difficult. This could end up being difficult for them.
When it comes down to this 5-7, I largely would say MPL will get overwhelmed on the side just with a deagle.
And it definitely is a commitment away. There's no real doubts about it. There's no way to pave it off this, so...
You want the first player that spots them to be able to create the delay so that there's rotation in time.
That's what you're needing to see MPL trying to get the jump piece.
He's actually a little bit off timing though.
He jumped pink dice one more time. He would have been able to spot them
But in fact, are they thinking that it's gonna be a B-play? It will the nades are coming in now
They're completely out of position at this point. He needed that one more jump. He could that could have changed quite a lot
positionally, but Bob's gonna get planted and now the chances to win the round just plummets
I mean, 5 on 3.
Alright, so news for it.
That's unfortunate for a bait. They wouldn't know how close they were.
It would, if they saw them coming, it would have been very curious.
So Fury will be happy with that.
Crisis averted, I think it's fair to say.
Game on.
Let me see that AWP.
Oh, stop. I'm going to beat you down.
I don't have Kevin in ages.
Sizi has we'll pull out the AWP, which is what you want to see with Kevlar as well.
So all is well in the Bates camp.
He has everything that he needs.
We've seen a good early warning system.
Well, early warnings from Furia with the grenades we saw
for a short boost in that last round.
Abs will try to condition the CTs away from certain plays.
Speaking of grenades though, that's not too bad at the grenade either.
Definitely caught Molledway by surprise.
I'm dealing with a key position for the opportunity here, but now, flash, look at that.
It was already ready to go that pop flash play.
That's good clearance of the bathrooms.
It says he could really, really help though.
I mean, if there's even a pick afforded him.
We'll see how the util works, but fury now that they've constricted the forward space,
that info is gone now.
So, in fact, as I say that, Kenz is always trying to solve that problem, moving into
the bathrooms to see, okay, are they actually going to play off of this, or are they going
to rotate back to B?
Now, he's going to see all that util.
He's going to be ready for a timing peak, but it's just, they're waiting for it.
It's an info trap.
So cool.
We have the time on the clock as well.
Heading towards 25 seconds, they're still deciding where to take this.
they're offering more towards that A bomb site.
It would be a big gamble towards being with only three players.
You're expecting the CTs to be fully committed
and seeing two on A surely means the remainder on A.
Also, Bob goes towards the B bomb site then.
Great estimations here that we're seeing from Furia.
Really smart stuff.
There's always risk in counter-strike,
but it's a simple question of what makes the most sense.
What am I doing here if I'm with the CTs?
You've, especially when you've got three players left,
You have to concentrate your efforts to some degree or a full degree quite often, and there's
an exhale.
Now we're seeing a little, the slightest animation in bait as things get difficult.
Yeah, this is a tough team to play against if you're bait, because Furia has, of course,
really good mid-rounding, especially in a map like Overpass.
We actually saw, obviously, like you referred to earlier, that content piece where Fallen
was explaining one detail of the protocol that he has for the team or a call out, essentially,
to once they have certain positions to go to sell fakes.
Just that mid-rounding, we saw it in action there where this high pressure after the initial
pick in bathrooms, there's now big pressure on info.
Because they know that, they're looking for ways to punish Kenzazor, who's then looking
for the follow-up information to confirm how they should rotate on the CT side.
So it's very hard, like, you know, it can really be, you know, get in your head.
As to how do you deal with that properly if you're bait, it's very difficult.
Struggle is real now.
Remember, when I went to secondary school, I'd have these vouchers to get lunch with as we were not rich people.
And this is what this round is for baits.
Here is on a budget, which is quite minimal.
Oh, don't you hate it when that happens?
Yeah, that really sucks. That's the kind of story timing that we all know in states.
It's all trying to find some timing himself. But looking like the round is just another
shutdown. There was some good opportunities there. Imagine if K-Sirato actually dies on
the flank there, you know, you get the AK collected, you got that flank pressure. So
That would have been rounds changing for sure.
Nice elephants, mate.
Hey, nice elephants.
It was a plan.
That was surely.
A bread looks completely screwed, I'll let you have bread, that bread looks like it's
got an STI.
He peeked into the playgrounds, a Kim does on the other end of it potentially, also you
see the water control fought for. So the CTs are, I think, in a really one, obviously,
the, uh, periods to start working into bathrooms where they've had so much success. Now there's
a double setup there, a two-man setup. But so far they're not doing it. Where are they?
a Serato walk-in monster getting the close clearances
They're really trying to pull rotation doors be it feels like
Maybe force the bathrooms set up to kind of pull back towards the A site, but that's they're holding strong right now
now. No info for the CTs. There's only one flashbang for Furia. Interesting. Big swing
from your kinder. I catch the second one as well. Raisin. It's fallen carrying the
I don't think he's been seen just yet. He has now, Sissy, up close!
Battle Sniper is good to drop one, but the trade will be here.
15 seconds on the clock for the bomb to be planted.
And Bait gets dismantled slowly but surely.
I like the adjustment from bait just how they because they they basically were in that rounds
they didn't react at all to pressure from here they just decided these are the setups that we
want to have we're gonna live and die by this force up and if they rotate into the you know
So somewhere we don't care. We're just gonna because the problem is is that fury is so good at playing with the information and
Suggesting stuff they can catch you in between lots of decisions
So if you just have a rock solid set up that you don't care like what they do and you just hold it
That's kind of a good answer. But like you say fury are connecting the shots not this time
But generally connecting the shots
Yeah, this is a a
The solid has a brick 60 for Furia.
Even with the rifle in the left hand, still an awkward angle to look at.
And that position that MPR was in is the classic rounding the corner obscuring vision with
the rifle in your right hand when you're going through connector.
You won't see that guy unless your rifle is in your left hand.
Good snowy angles where that's important.
Absolute sitter there.
So early on, Baiter looking somewhat outclassed versus Furia's T-side.
Doesn't look like they'll have an answer in this half.
It's just the comfort that Furia have, playing with the clock as well, is very difficult.
Like it might be forcing Bait to do something aggressive, to get an early 5 on 4, so they're
not at the mercy of Furia's timing.
as you saw with the swing from your kindar on long
in the previous by-round.
Fury are dictating where all the fights happen.
And Bates might want to do that,
but of course that comes at risk.
And it will not, it'll be hard to catch Fury off guard.
You've got to find a way to win rounds in this half.
And right now Fury are just taking,
taking things at will and by force. Yeah, yeah, they have complete
command of the T side is this is why overpass is a really awesome map is
because when you get teams at like the top eight level playing it, you know, you
and then it's like really in the super in their map or like they could they can
play really well. The tactical the tactical and strategic aspects of it
are really fun to watch because it's actually hard to solve the T side.
when the CTs are doing everything correctly,
you're always short utility.
So it creates these spots where you have to gamble
on lots of positions.
And so I think that to me is one of the reasons why it's so fun,
because it creates an extra layer of mind games.
And obviously the map has really fun rotation possibilities as well for both teams.
So it's a great map, I think,
for just high level competitive counter strike.
I hate to play with randoms though.
I'm playing with people who are stupid.
Oh look, there's the bottle smite.
Well, is he going up there, up the ramp, he's looking for a pick.
Denied.
Kind of not not to be denied though straight out there gets flash doesn't care. He's going he's going
Eventually you'll be stopped by
By Alex, but the trade is ready to go and the bombsite is taken to switch up a pace and approach good use hills. That's it
One step ahead
Yeah, they got they have T side mastery for sure
Once the club above you and pharmacist as Vinny Paz would say.
It's nice when you have flow like this and you are in full control as fury are.
And the score is 0 for 7.
Essential is 1 for 7.
And again, there is room to be aggressive on the CT side, but of course, you've got to
put bodies towards the B bombsite at the beginning.
But despite that, again, the change of pace, they are in your minds and you are being
victimized.
Yeah, I'm gonna focus in like it's so hard to get out of this vortex in the space of a map. Yeah, it's so hard
Yeah, I think the the demand of having like really good utils and timings is
It's pretty pretty high
to stop stuff like this
To take it over the short position, but Alex is gonna see if you can get some good fragging in here
Nice pick off two players in the smoke. We'll trade them out though and essential can't get anything there on the site
If you got one kill there within 3v3, maybe a bit more doable, but once again the Ts are going to have this be bomb sites.
So two super fast B hits, there's something for us to kind of remember because we'll see how Fury plays the pacing game on the next round.
They may slow it down and just to play a very painfully slow round, expecting the CTs to dump Util at the beginning of the round in response to these faster timings in the two rounds previous.
unless they think that bait think surely they won't do it again and you can just
edit again through yeah I mean you haven't lost the rounds so yeah may yeah
lean you towards that idea that's actually a really good point because
teams used to always well everything kind of faces this mistake sometimes
where teams, you think that the opponents will counter you,
so you should stop doing the thing that works,
whereas they might try to counter you,
but they might actually fail and how they adjust.
And so, if it's working, you should probably, in most cases,
keep trying to do it.
But it depends.
It's like you said, James, if you've got someone in the Vortex,
you know, you have the best intuitive sense as to how to,
you know, what option to show next.
When to turn it on, when to turn it off.
Yeah, so look at this body language versus the first map. Completely different. Completely
different.
Like get me out of here. Oh, he is out of here.
Yeah. Yeah. It's good to see like they are not robots. They are human. And nobody likes
being on the receiving end of the beating like this.
Where's he gone?
Small tech pause.
Maybe some mailbox bagging around.
Ah, yes, we do.
That is a great reminder.
So from Quake Enjoyer for DDK, did you ever play against
Jonathan, Fatality, Wendell, any stories? Cheers.
So actually, I have an in competition
because he was retired by the time,
because he actually retired very early on from Quake,
except he didn't make a comeback into Quake 4,
but I wasn't playing dual in that game.
But otherwise, the only time I'd played him
in any kind of competitive setting
was at one of these like,
like Fatality used to go around to like lands and stuff,
like he went to a nice series once
and he had his own little subapp and it's like,
oh, if you can frag me using my gear,
but you can't change any of the settings
and like your mouse is like wrecked and stuff like,
you know, that you can win a graphics card.
So it's like, it's like a carnival game type of thing.
And I did get a frag against him,
but I didn't get any rewards,
which I'm very sad about to this day.
But we didn't, we never actually played
because he was also in the US.
And so back, like in Quake in general,
the netcode is so bad back then,
playing, I mean, even now, to be honest,
People don't tend to play cross-continent.
And I was always in Europe when I was playing
Quake actively for the most part.
But I've played Rafa a lot and also Rafa's first big tournament,
we were played at the same land,
but we're in separate groups.
That was in 2008.
So I played a lot of the other top US duels at some point,
but never fatalities.
He was kind of out of the scene when I was more active.
There you go.
Rafa's awesome.
I think I hung out with him last time, and mutual friends last time I was in the Fort Worth area, which was pretty cool.
Top Giza.
Wasn't he moving to Europe? I don't know if he did or not.
He did, yeah.
Oh, he did?
He's in Europe now.
He's actually playing Quake live again because in Europe there's always been some tournaments going on and there are actually still very good players who never stopped playing.
So he actually just picked up quick live again and last six months and has been
Playing at the top of that league as well
So you can watch him still play quick if you want. Yeah, I do follow 125 FPS league
Okay, that's awesome. Yeah, good for the guy who was sent in the question as well
From Andrew gross. Hey guys just wanted to say I really enjoy
listening to both of you DDK and Bud off and I'm glad you guys are working this event you guys are always my favorite
cast a pair and I always love hearing you guys cast CS good luck the rest of the
way well cheers very much mr. Gross we appreciate that may your son may your
fish be crispy in your chips also be crispy yeah thanks thanks for sending us
a note thanks sending the love love is returns so we've got one more dear casting
couch I heard you were taking relationship advice I recently started
dating a girl we've been out two or three times she wanted to go out
next weekend and seeing as I already had tickets to the EPL finals, I invited her. Now she
has no idea what Counter-Strike is or barely video games for that matter. How do I make
this trip as romantic as I possibly can? Look forward to your answer. Much love from
Stockholm. Harry.
Okay, well here's one quick tip. Before you check into the hotel, like call the hotel
and ask them if they have flowers or something and also write a note and get them to
to write the note for you and leave it in the room
before you actually get into the room.
And then maybe if you drink and get a bowl of wine in there
and just get the hotel, the hotel will help you.
They're very good at that.
It's a very good tip.
Interesting.
What if they do?
She will love that.
If you ask for flowers or something
and they don't have something,
then you might be at the mercy of whoever
that person on the other side of the phone is.
They'll always have wine or some kind of beverage.
So that's usually an easy one that they'll always have.
But there's some hotels, depending on what hotel it is,
they might be able to do something extra.
So you just have to talk to them, just talk to people.
They can help you out.
I think the main thing, you can watch the Counter Strike,
but you just gotta spit bars, Harry.
You just gotta spit bars and have mad personality
without trying too hard as well.
Don't try too hard.
Just be you, Harry, as long as you is good,
if not be someone else.
But you know, if you've got personality, you'll be fine.
If you can hold a conversation, you'll be fine.
Just don't do things to try and impress
and don't make jokes to other people's expense
and you'll be no forests.
Because that's the cringe thing.
How you get blocked.
If the other person's worth their salt.
9-0 a flavorless half for baits thus far
All right
There's more tips to be extracted. We'll have to maybe return to that
So we've got the AWP out this disease that we got zero rounds so far can they get a single rounds let alone three
Maybe the brain helps them.
What good would a single round be, really?
Bro, Kenz is all and essential have combined one frag.
And it's round 10.
That's that's rough.
They look so good.
Hey, maybe they've been outmaneuvered in the map veto.
As far as the second map is concerned, also shows you how important their strong performance
on Mirage was for them.
it seems likely that we will be racing towards us too.
This is one of the ways how the really, really super elite teams
can get an edge over you as well.
It's just having a much deeper map pool
that you'll always be at a disadvantage in the amount of how the Vito goes.
Oh!
Oh, he's got support for the second kill.
Alex will do it. Falling is blind. The timing is good enough for Bates to still be standing.
All five are half. Now Yuri can still make this expensive. Every frag counts even if
they lose the rounds. They make it easier to win the following one or two. 16 seconds
remain. Don't want to give up an ult for no reason. It could be all a second ult.
Okay, that's a little awkward. I think maybe later on they were like, ah,
let's just try and get some more kills. So we've got two kills last with that, we'll see
if there are shortcomings. Later on the scoreboards. I mean, I think most people will
feel like this game is done, but it's never done to this level. There's always a chance,
as tiny as it might be.
A chance is there, a chance exists.
Otherwise, we would be on Dusty already, so let's see.
It's a good shutdown, and it was a slow roll into the same B-play.
So there was a pace change, but to be honest,
when there's a tech pause for that period of time,
I think it gets a little bit weird or a little bit less effective.
I think sometimes when you play off the previous round conditioning,
But it's a good opening from Molo-Doi with all of that said.
And so the cool thing that we can do here as well is we can kind of like look at what
the Kata's Fury are playing the 5v4 here.
They've got the very early pick.
And so now they're going to be working on pressure towards bathrooms.
This is a nice setup there from Sizi.
Oh, he's going to leave just at the wrong moments.
Yeah, it's a classic setup though, especially a fallen squad will be very
familiar with that, and how to deal with this.
I think they came out with a flash.
Definitely not make assumptions.
I mean, that's the standard default is basically taking the orb angles away
as a T side with the molly and smoke around the toilets.
You can wallbang that wall into the connector as well.
So you don't really do it if you saw someone.
NPR's position though, would be a nice wallbang.
Guess we'll low on the clock once again. 30 seconds, we've got CT utility up in both
sites, around both sites, but we are walking into B with Furia at presence.
Into the B bomb site they go, there's pot flashes there as well. Fallen is
rotating the bomb in all-stope and Alex to the back. Essentially playing
retake on the bomb site, but again they're being dismantled, being pulled apart slowly
and painfully by Furia.
It's just a great T side from Furia here.
Alex, try and see what he can, some good fragging again.
Now on the 1v2 clutch, needs the quad kill, but no, gets denied.
This is the exact reason why I was like, okay, let's pay attention to see what Furia
do because when a T side gets that five before early, they have a lot of time left to play
tricks on you in terms of information. So they go to the point of their default where
it's like, okay, look, we're going to take the last one's control. We've dug in with
one water control. We've dug a player in there. I think it's Kcerato. So Kcerato
can also hear rotation if it happens on B. And then they can either pivot into
B or based on what they've seen, or they can just hit A if they think that they're
They're still a good, totally BD-fats.
And they found the perfect opening through Monster.
It's just so, so deliberate and high level from Furia.
It's great to see.
You kind of having a great time.
I'm glad to have a chat with.
MPR almost catches the second, but Kesarasa is there to help.
So well-versed on Overpass, our Furia.
Real 2 though is viable for the remainder of baits.
Chance to double their score perhaps.
Kindar with eyes towards connector, with an extra 2 to merge.
angle won't be good enough but he has made him hurt and Molodoy will do the
rest. Henshizor without a kit is the last man standing now coming in from the
bank position. Is there a kit nearby? Is there time to find both these players
and the kits? Molodoy will answer all those questions very promptly and very
violently indeed. Furia have got places to be and that seems to be a
Just that much.
I
How much overpass is really left at this point, eh, with a single round on the board, have
been controlled all over this map by Fury's masterful T side approach. It's now basically
turned to do the same if they possibly could. But it's not, I could start with Molladoy
getting that opening pick.
Korea looking to dominate Mooladoi is taking liberties on Long.
To two on two we go.
Silent Treatments.
Yes.
Imagine Fallen may be heading towards B soon.
They can allegedly stroll around Overpass.
He's there, split up.
Heading towards B. Still such good range for the USP.
It's Michael certainly help
Carefully covered
Don't want to show too much skin because you might lose it
They've got a Molly as well. Is there an angle for this bomb plants?
There is no kit for the ccs
What is the big swing and no Molly required
even with the Molly, they would have had to fight some, but if I had to illustrate this
scoreline, I would do a drag race with BMW M5 competition versus a tricycle.
It's actually funny, I was thinking with the first half of that Furia showed where
they were just controlling their opponent, exactly like dictating to them where they
can go where they can't go like just you know almost like yeah just to using the mind powers
against them. It reminded me of like when you see fighters that really mismatched again
like a recent sort of video like Lex Friedman trying to wrestle with Khabib and that seems
like a really really accomplished black belt and he just can't do anything just totally
controlled by Khabib. It's just it reminded me kind of of that.
on three there's a chance for this round just focus around one round at a time
safety and numbers they are together are baits as our fury are more or less
concentrate their efforts in opposing sides of the map as utility for fury up
they've got smokes and beyond so let's see if they can clear toilets later in
trouble
They're getting busy.
This is bypassing Alex.
Yeah.
Ooh.
He's in position to buy Alex on the back here, it's Yuri.
Wow.
He's got one more player, though, with all these coming outs.
Alex is just toying with him.
We know very good Alex in these clutch situations and two rounds on the board. Let's go
Not done just yet here baits on that overpass
But yeah, Alex did manage to be unseen for quite some time
Yeah, back to his normal level of focus as well
This is a true test of sports psychology a map that naturally deep down with fuel lost
But the round ahead of you, this certainly is not.
We have this round or a full buy round for both squads.
We have our team with the plan, Furia.
There's a close look.
Had his fill.
Back to the counter-strike.
Molodoy, he spotted some victims.
Okay, so they're closing in though.
Double missed shots and lots of space gains.

Some people want to make you cry Some people ring it like thunder
You gotta fight it all, you gotta do it right
If the hustling grind Bricks just arrive
Do your turn and play in the other side
If the hustle in your mind makes you decide
It will crack and strip you of your pride
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, there's hustlers, theaters, liars out on this road
And they'll feed the fire and watch it all explode
Gotta put the strings out before we burn it down
Got a plan, new seats in this ground
Don't let yourself be troubled
Or think on yesterday
Keep on moving, come on, don't stand in my way
Stop me, oh, don't move under
Stop me
and welcome back here looking to
complete story. Very strong
and. Oh, you've been to the
So you were in silence watching the knife rounds.
Ha ha ha ha.
Maybe I'm doing it.
Perhaps it's sabotage so I can talk more.
Who knows?
No, it's not me.
Um, that'll be back shortly.
Well, anyway, the deciding map of the series is here.
That was the most control I have seen by one team over the other for a very long
time.
That was, um, that was pretty sick.
I don't even know how to describe it, but I enjoyed it.
It was nice to see that level of measured dominance by Puria.
And now let's see where things will lie on Dust2 again.
Rank 2, Puria, Rank 19, Bates and Overpass.
I love how difficult a map it is to play.
It's so enjoyable to see a team play it well.
And this team played it fantastically well in that series.
the 13 to overbate. That's two as a decider between these
squats. We'll get into that now. Furea 75% with eight maps
played bait 67 with three, which is not really a percentage
you could take any stock into because the sample size is
minuscule. So perhaps it's a question mark. As far as bait
are concerned, I'll look into that a little bit further
in a second.
I'm good authority and back James. So
There's an interrupt you and then stop talk
Really, I'll start casting that kensis off there on the top top me
It's trying to try to make something of this obviously good access right now straight to the A sides
but have to do a kensis all first buy some time for scissi and
This is not looking too comfortable. Good thing essentials right here with the dualies to put the stoppage on and
and the pivot interview is to play now Yuri making his way forwards.
It's like he's able to actually cross here, but the bomb has to do the same.
So two versus three here for Furia, looking challenging.
And this I don't think the CTs want to even allow them to plant here, James.
Yes, that would be ideal as far as CTs are concerned.
So it's Furia understand the urgency.
They're fighting these frags if they can.
There is time.
There is time. My word. He had 45 seconds. Didn't need it.
Molotov pops one pops two. Thank you.
Explosive adjustments from both teams.
What are you feeling, James? Give me a score line right now.
I'm just having a look at the small, the little date we have
of recent of late debate on dust two, 13, four versus energy.
They've lost to pain and beaten pain 12 16 19 16 last year that was
I mean it was December. So not too far away
There's too much analysis James your prediction. I just need two numbers. That's all I need
Oh, what the first two numbers that come to mind?
one and two
People do you mean?
I can't remember this backfired a little bit anyway
We do have cat control that has been achieved by fury they've shown presence as they've said hello
All they say hello again James what they departs
You scouts on the server
We've seen very capable scouters this week, which has pleased me because for months they
have been hard to find.
I'm getting my fill of scout frags.
Molodeoisa and these give me some earlier.
Again, Snappy was a bad hand with it in previous games, with different match-ups.
Okay, Seraso, making things even as the remaining CTS have been somewhat outmaneuvered.
He's got to be careful, though, tagged with the scouts.
I don't want to get them too excited in their pursuits of the first round.
So this being a forced buy, does Alex go and pick up a scout here?
Are they looking for exits?
Don't have a kit.
Seems they're looking for a little robbery here.
Got some dodgy policemen.
They will not be successful.
So there were multiple options to take there.
They picked one, didn't work out.
It sucks his life.
Success, Thaferia.
And I'm not going to expect to see a domination like we saw on Overpass.
I think that would be a little bit crazy.
I think it's harder on Dust2 to have that same level of control over your opponent,
but I would expect though, especially more the way you can get going on the AWP back.
This could be pretty nasty, potentially for bait,
so you know, it's gonna be tough for them to work back from a difficult CT economy.
We've all been on the receiving end of it and we all know it sucks, so
I'll see what they can do here with the scouts.
Again, it used to be very nice to be treated to some more scout highlights here on Dust2.
The double scout might have been fun if they were able to keep those for this round.
I would have been interested to see it.
That's an interesting play from your Kindar.
Yeah.
Uh-oh.
Okay, then. Well, um, I have some questions. Okay. I mean, scout gonna scout. That's great.
This would be a nice early round for baits. There's just too many people alive for furia.
It's hard to be in a whole position, show a little presence and then try to fall back.
They surely feel like there's a fair chance of being hunted, if so.
There's no good option remaining for them in a scenario such as this.
I will say though, this is one of the best maps to be in this kind of a situation because
Dust2 does lend itself to being able to find picks and get these open doors you kind
need. See if Mordor can make something happen here. And Yuri's going to be activated now.
A fight will be forced in mid. He'll just die. So that's not a good start here. Mordor
has to ace clutch now. So that's a fun thing then. So think about.
Look at the chase.
He's going to save the AK.
Oh my god.
It donated four rifles, shapes. Would it be a four rifle?
Yep.
Ooh, can they get there though in time?
I don't know if they can actually, because everyone already has one.
Yeah, maybe there's a good lot to be upgraded if they make it there.
Those were nice, but...
Well, from what we could see, Kindar walks through a smoke in mid-doors with an AK and lost the AK.
Which was a difficult start.
Poor Fury up.
Let's see what impact it has then.
I'm not sure what to make of my expectations of bait in the vacuum of this map of Dust 2.
So I go into this with open eyes.
You metasmoak the door at presence.
Baitron to decide how to orient the A setup.
Because there are decisions, you know, you can reinforce long, you can, you know, try
to reinforce the site.
There's obviously a lot of different options.
You can bring a player now down into mid, that's what that, that's mid smokes, that's
CT smokes.
Typically what we'll do from the T side is it will pull one of the CTs off the
A setup into CT spawn. And that makes the A place a little bit easier. Then if the team
really wants to go for the B, B split, then they end up doing a secondary smoke as we're
kind of seeing here. But it's actually going to be tunnels heavy.
The clock is ticking.
Full five in the halls.
See an exchange of utility.
What are the antsiness on the site?
Oh, kensisors got some use here.
We're sort of making half of them to stand in fire as they come out that Molly falls
And indeed it does barely make Terra firma a lovely tap from essential on the last one
Wasn't able to squeeze out enough you tell
And yes, I'm stunted growth here for for furia on dust to
Yeah, so far so good for bait after that really shocking round I mean you kind of I mean what was he up to that?
That was like that was like the first time we're getting pushed over
And all the dominance after that. I like this kids. It's all going straight into Louis dark. Oh
He's gonna find fallen
At the top of me. That's a beautiful find and he's gonna keep going. Oh
My god, Molodoy, how is he on that one?
It's mailed fallen swallow an apple hole
I don't want to go into this guy again, he's kind of lighting them up last round.
Yeah, Sissy has U-Tour so he can throw a support flash for his teammate or just post
up with the AWP.
More deagle shots then, he's got to be real careful about what he chooses to do.
Molley
Limit where the T's can stand
It's one more in the hands of Alex
Whoever they choose to throw it flashes are out as are the pistols. Oh, they're gonna win the round. Aren't they aren't they?
Yuri 21 HP. He's got no Kevlar though. He can't take a bullet and he will boy. Have they made that expensive?
However, Bates will still prevail
Yeah, that was a rough one, but that's what matters. They get it over the line and the
AWP is rescued. That shot from Kcerazzo is pretty nasty, I gotta say. Some good Deagle
connections, always helpful. But moving forwards now, we have Moldoi picking up the AWP
again. And I just, I wonder if there's any timings here. Moldoi is towards the
long timing, actually.
It's not going to go for those jump on the team is heads.
They commit shot.
Oh, my goodness.
The confidence is paying off.
This is the.
There's momentum here for these boys, for these young lads.
There is momentum.
I'm just going to be careful, though.
Maybe it's off more than he could chew.
Inferior are getting right back into this.
Lovely spray from your kinder.
As you will escape though.
Now there are sound cues for, I think there are,
there won't be sound cues for Alex,
at least one player towards short,
but what's of the remainder?
Haven't bought anything just yet, bait.
As you can see, two players still sitting in B.
It's a footstep.
Is he ready for the second one?
You see the bomb, that's Info.
This is the Inessential Rotating, they know the bomb's on long as well, so all they choose
to do with this.
Since he's still looking for the lurker, so it doesn't seem they're 100% sure where
the second player might be.
nasty names for the bombsite. Oh, there's a molly picked up by Sizi, but he'll just be
the orc now. One versus two. A good start to this round from Bate, but Furia are always
capable of turning things around. Hold on a second! Oh no. They were lined up for a
moment, at least on the x-ray. They still have good money, actually. All things considered,
actually have pretty good money, you know, because there's been some catastrophic rounds
where they lost a lot of players, but whoa, that was a flick shot at the well. That's
actually awesome. That was awesome.
I'm going to pick it up though, 3-3 going round for round, which really doesn't feel good
on the CT side of this map. I wonder if we'll see the Orbs moving around again. That's
It's usually a good focal point to see where that initial impact may be made.
But for now, it feels like Bait are doing a good job.
Obviously, they want to have a strong CT half, but they got absolutely destroyed on overboss.
So this is a big improvement already.
orb for the CTs. You must know sure that while now they do, definitely hear the scoping.
All right, the B site is all unessential with the AWP, so 38 health, and that's all he's
got to fight with.
Oh, molotoy!
That's very nice.
I can't believe you've done that to him.
He's repositioned so well also, since he makes no assumptions though.
The presence across the map is so good for Furia.
You can see so much presence from bait towards short, so much activity rather, with Long being
lost.
We know how Furia, I really enjoy Furia's timing actually on the T side, but playing
against that has got to be nerve wracking.
Closing the distance from Long as well, they'll soon be running distraction, there is
a trade, they use the numbers well, Sissi's up close now, there's a Molly
He comes through, he's got the angle, okay, Stratho can just entertain and pull him away
from the A bomb site while the rest try to get that bomb planted.
What a save by Molotoy there.
Stopping a slam dunk it looks like, swing and a miss that time as Fallen's left in
the clutch, forced from the site with the Molly.
Hey, she's there as well, but he still delivers.
1v1.
There's an AWP coming, but from where?
Essential doesn't have a kit, is there one on the way?
Moving through, he does not have time.
AK is collected.
As you try and drop a smoke, it's just too much to ask to identify where Fallen is.
Oh, you had to go back and find a kit now.
It's all about this jewel.
It's so hard to look at that angle sometimes,
and Fallen would be able to save his team's bacon on this occasion.
Oof, that was very close.
This shot though.
Oh my God, he just ECs it for like eight split seconds.
a shadow moving through the smoke effectively extrapolates the flick angle that trajectory
the calculus trigonometry is happening in his brain. He's still doing trigonometry, James.
Lovely work.
He's had some nice moments.
Furia are so dangerous though.
On the T side, over at 5 or 4.
They'll often find a way.
Great timing though this time from NPL.
5 or 3 makes it more difficult.
support for the opera as well by those mid doors. Essentials been lost. There is a chance.
Great flashes. Kent is already working for that one. There he try and face Molledoy.
Fallen is here to save. That makes it a 2-1-2. Hard to put down our fury up.
Oh my God's bait needed that desperately now Alex is in what could be just a one versus
two and in the goose position there is it as well well they actually million out though
this might actually be a very good spot right now we'll see how much can be done from
this Alex takes down the first player Molodoy of course gets the tray with the AWP in
And very quickly though from Kat, says he might be able to stop this game all the way.
It's going to have some pressure now more than actually exiting the site very briefly
for posting up again.
Just needs to be sure it's not a fake.
AWP in Moldova's hands is a lethal thing.
Back to goose.
Just in case the run around happened. Looking towards long, but gamer timing here. Sizi, he's
going to get a great crouch beat coming in from him. Perfect timing. He's got plenty of
time for that diffuse.
Got to say, Molotoi pulling the bomb out and just keeping an eye on what was going on
so short. The presence of mine is just immense. Seeing that nade coming in, just hopping
back because otherwise he'd be done for otherwise SGG probably. Unless it's an unlucky bounce.
Even though he didn't win around that moment was cool but I mean how close was he to winning that
round? You saw he was scoped in there. Oh so close. So it will be the pistols then for Furia
and a lot of utility as well. This is enough to close the distance and then who knows.
These are viable rounds. These are rounds with a plan.
Well, do they have enough to again manipulate where that third man goes?
So you see the presence on short.
You can see NPR, he is that third man pulling away from the B bomb sites.
This is exactly the plan from Furia.
Entertain that third man, do you got a 4 or 5 on 2 on that B bomb site then?
So far so good for Furia.
There might be a crossfire here for the CTs, they are delivering.
Looking pretty good for them as well.
So the first goal was achieved, but of course the CTs are simply far better equipped
It was always going to be difficult, and it is the blades to finish him, leaving him
face down on the pavement.
Nice hold, actually, great adjustment from Bates.
They had everything covered nicely.
They actually done a great job receiving the B pushes.
I think almost every round, they defended it really well.
And so, if you're certainly in trouble in this series, to be honest, this would
be a massive upset, and Bates are starting to have a good CT side.
They've kind of gotten beyond, you know, what could be quite dangerous, which is a terrible
scoreline again, but Sizi opening things up, a lower dark aggression as well to follow for
Bates on this CT side.
It's going to give them all the information they need.
The enough operation is here.
Deny they ever existed in this round.
The way things are going.
Essential on 12 frags, kens resort.
Up to 16 now.
a great time on the CT side.
You're a timeout.
They can feel that things are starting to slip away a little bit.
Again, they're down a map.
They lost the opening map.
Which is it was crazy.
Crazy.
Mirage was a really well played map from Bates.
And that's gotten them to this point.
It was going to take a lot of convincing for me, I think, Jay's after seeing how dominant
Overpass was to feel like they can do this and actually convert this series, but it's
now starting to look a lot better because the CT rounds are much harder to come by and
if we go back to the beginning of this half, they started off losing the pistol and
going down in economy and that usually is very hard to recover as a CT side,
They've done it so far.
Love the nade in the middoors.
The drop of the nade.
AK's in Galil's.
Warfurya.
Sizi will be on his lonesome towards B.
Post it up with the AWP.
A lot of trust in those hands.
As you see, the CT is boosting and CT is spawn as well.
That will be the support in that position.
So, interestingly, the A site player is currently on his own.
As is Alex.
Ensizl has one flash.
could be sent towards along if required if he has the opportunity may feel slightly gambling
always moved over towards long for support leaving long short wide open running distraction
allowing Alex to activate there's a swing from the long side so they've left shorts
open they must finish off the job here on long there's no sniper so holds a from
the car position that's such an important frag for kensizawa it's gonna
take a gamble and go through that smoke now as they were spread a bit thin in
this one let's see how the retake looks yeah says he with the op is gonna be
definitely important factor but he's coming in from this advantaged ground
from CT spawn with the AWP not very good so he reroutes to Cat.
Oh no, sorry his teammate's going up Cat.
Does he still making his way through CT? Good.
Kill from essential. If he can open up Catwalk here that'd be massive.
Now it's all on his shoulders.
Great work taking down Kcerato, the final player,
and Bay managed to make the retake work. That is crazy.
That's a really interesting round from the CT side.
Spread a bit thin as far as A is concerned.
Be wanting to show some presence in mid with the setup they had.
And again, this jewel here from Kensasaur is so so crucial.
If he loses that jewel, I think it's a wrap as far as A is concerned.
This gives them great potential moving into the second half if they can win this one as well.
It will really be all to play for.
But yeah, there's a few ways where that last round goes wrong for them.
Oh, yes, they're also happy to duel through mid doors.
That's a very fast pickup, maybe staying out there for a little bit too long to see.
And now the punish could be catastrophic going straight towards the A side hit.
Very, very rapid pace.
Alex looking to defend from the ramp.
Yeah, more these are going to pressure him away.
Still taking the fights though, still keeping the spray going and well, Kensesor able
to pick up one as well and they are holding the line here fully on the A sites. The bomb
is down and it's just your kinder looking to try to convert one versus three.
They are all heavily tagged on the bait side. Key factor though is that your kinder does
not have the bomb. It has been compromised. That will limit his options, but he's got
a chance of a 1v1, but now. Help is on the way. Kensesor top mid. See that bomb now.
Kindar spotted. The remainder will stay quiet. He's got the pressure to plant that bomb.
Kensesor being careful as well. I don't know if the CTs know that the bomb is in that position.
He's collected it now, and they've got the sound cues for the rotation as well,
He will still look for these lurkers.
24 seconds, he can only look for so long.
Spotted one top mid, spotted bottom mid as well.
And Bates could really be doing it here.
This would be a huge win for them,
but there's more to play for her, yes.
I'm feeling in my body with ya
Oh, I'm in my heart storming
I'm feeling in my body with ya
Oh, I'm in my heart storming
I'm feeling in my body with ya
I don't want no small talk, I don't want no small talk, just what I don't know about the floor.
The one you came for is for the one you came for.
So when you hit the floor, you can find escape.
Amazing when the fish is waving up, no place here
When you can't come on, it's more than when you can't come on
We're becoming one by one
I'm a thief in the body ringer
I'm a thief in the body ringer
I'm a thief in the body ringer
I'm a thief in the body ringer
I'm a thief in the body ringer
Yeah.
Furia and Bates and it's crazy Bates are actually in a great position eight to four up to take down Furia and move forwards
It'll be a huge up so let's see if they can complete it here now. They go on to the two side. I
Love that. I screwed up the supposed to break and then you
Almost pulled the ground flying. Oh, let me come back from the break
Not a bad start Molladoi sees the shadow second one is easy. That's not a bad angle. Is it?
So you can dog up the second one actually
By the way, it's a team effort Alex and essential remain not the perfect range there for Alex
Let the body sit the floor boy.
How do you deal with that then?
You don't.
Right.
We submit to your fate except for acceptance.
Buckle up.
Crash into the wall on that occasion.
Bates had a really good first half, I think we will all agree.
And Furia, are they on the ropes?
Can we say that?
I mean, maybe not now that they've won the pistol, if they hadn't, then they really would be on the road.
But, again, they are always a threat, like it doesn't matter if it's half by or whatever, they are always going to be a problem.
So, with the momentum from winning that pistol, they could catch up quite quickly.
The bomb plant makes this round a lot easier for them.
I was just having a look...
It gets from 4th positioning.
Sorry, Dan. I was just having a look at some of the earlier results today, and I saw that books got fisted by Astralis
Mmm. I'd like to watch a foot game. So, you know, well done, Astralis
Well, they were vaporized bait in this round, so
Now we get into the interesting part of the half
We got the guns out
It's actually really interesting if you think about this score line and then you understand
that bait lost both pistols.
And they lost both following rounds as well.
Yeah, that's significant work being done.
There's more work to be done.
Yeah, they do be doing it.
They do be doing the work.
I'm a catwalk and two massive still for fury on long here.
So if you're maybe suspecting a late long take or potentially nice something of that nature,
they will bring back Molodoy.
Yeah, he's he's the flash man as well.
Oh, that's not triggered on my tree.
Damn, look at all the toys your kindar's got to play with.
It's not trigonometry, what is it?
Well, I was going to say a cluster truck, but I mean, I wouldn't go that far.
I still remember that round of train when Scream threw a nade and it bounced off the sign and
naded his entire team.
I'm surprised he didn't get kicked from the server.
30 seconds ish.
Where are they going though?
NPRs made his way into CT spawn.
Three players have been outmaneuvered.
Here we are on the wrong path.
The map of Yuri's got a nice angle, almost a second.
The bombsite will be cleared out though.
on three.
Huge round here. This will be highly destabilizing. Furious economy. Now, there is a molly left
for essential. There's no utile for the CTs. For Furia to retake and there is also a flank
which is essential. A flank on the flank. This timing is really important for them.
Should very surely be looking for someone here.
I've got no CDV as a presence of mind.
I guess they are containing.
Oh, look at the detail of the detail.
Okay, it was heard by Fallen, but still he flashed the tunnel
as his teammates are exiting the bomb site.
Employee of the month.
That was awesome.
That's a terrible run to like have to give up in that way.
Are we going to see the other side here, James?
It really feels like, you know, we're seeing the first T, like T by round is one by baits.
Now the, okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We've got double whips straight away.
Molodoy gets one, Keisaratu gets one as well.
So that's all based on the timing.
certificates rather perhaps takes to be on this one.
After expecting quite map control, or space taking then that would be a good answer.
There's next to no Utah, they've really invested in these cannons.
They need to hit their spots, whereas Bates have got many tools to work with in this round,
including a Mactan in the hands of Kenzizor.
for the B hits. Looks like, however, Fallen is pushing long doors. It's risky, but it's
going to tell his team exactly what's happening. They are prepared now for a B hit. There is
a lurk from Kenzazor on Catwalk, but he's not going to be able to help the bomb go down,
And that might be the problem here. They pick off initially from Molodoy as second one. His back is against the wall. No further repositioning is enabled.
Ksirata takes down Kensasaur on the flank as well. Two versus three after plant.
Doble here on the retake for Furia.
There's another smoke for NPL.
Timing is going to be important. Fallen. Showing up the skin, bit of skate.
NPL repositions.
Alex under the window, free fire, Fauliv's going in to find the info.
It's a trade here, though! He finds all three NPL!
That is such a crucial moment for the squad.
NPL played that so well.
The spot on the player in Tons, the reposition with the smoke,
has cover from doors to get to the composition.
Anybody at the double from here?
It's like whilst so the first guy is distracted
Troubleshoot his teammates and he trades effectively then knows he just has to spray the left because he knows someone's chasing there
So perfectly managed and now they're 10-6 and the money's completely gone for the CTs
And they're gonna use you lose your kinder immediately here baits are looking. Oh
good right now
Goodbye, Molotoy
Thank you for playing. Our MPL turrets are tight, go to Kef with the reload though.
You've got help from Essential, wonderful work. That was the round, that round prior was
the round. Four baits as far as the second half is concerned and now Furia are up shit
creek without a paddle.
Yeah, that clutch from MPL really was everything. I mean it's such a huge deal to get that
And now if you are just really on their back trying to try to get back on their feet and it's
It's really a question as to whether that's even going to happen at this point two more rounds for bait
And fury are going to spend all their money here
Some of the greatest tools that fury would want to have the awp's are not going to be available
Their money is just too too messed up
That's so close bait is so close
This is also where it goes wrong when you can taste victory and you're like, oh, are
we doing it, guys?
Are we doing it?
That's the test.
Loads of tools to bait to work with.
Loads of nades to create space.
Force to reduce space for the CT side
No early pick towards B. It's nice when you have a spawn on the T side you can take an angle
Try and catch a CT. I'll pick up behind big box
There you go
So far entry is looking not too bad at 3 versus 3. They still have kensas all left on the lurk as well
Always a problem to deal with
Another round that looks very very promising here for the bait side, especially after that one is traded, but
It's a very hard retake now for molodoy and fallen
Okay
at the risk of losing everything. Where is that last player? It's just the at the back
and Furia get wiped out again. Match points for Bait. Smashed on overpass. Smashing on
Dust 2.
the
game.
Yeah.
What a big game losing both
pistols as you said. Yeah,
12 to 6 What's happening? That
means big really outside of
the pistols. Curious one two
rounds versus baits. Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. The fact that they you
know, if you're converted both
times off pistol that's that
is in itself. Not guaranteed
today's kind of strike, so.
six. Oh my god. Bay, are they doing it here? They are moving up Catwalk. It's a different
look into an opening. They haven't actually contacted up into position like Cat before.
This might catch the CTs off guard. Trying to close it out quickly. There's one flash
for Molotov. If he can do it in time, your Kindal's getting barbecued though. He's
got nowhere to go.
Stuck on long behind the smoke at the mercy of Bates.
At match points, getting absolutely annihilated.
Yuri, one versus four.
Just two rounds if you ignore the pistols.
And they're associated utter dominance by Bates on Dust2.
Two strong maps from them after getting battered on Overpass and finally they smile.
What a series for Bates.
Wow, that is truly incredible.
After getting smashed on Overpass, I didn't expect to see them come back into the series in this way.
I guess on the maps where they're comfortable, they are looking in great form so far in this tournament,
taking down the number two and not to mention, they have had the three flashes in recent memory with Furia
And every single time they've lost to Fury, this is the first time they are defeating them in the best of three.
They've managed to get a map off of them a couple of times, but this time they get the two that they need for that victory.
And that's going to feel pretty amazing for them, showing clear progress in their performances as the weeks are pressed on.
And now, you know, it's just a question of what is their form going to look like as time goes on?
Absolutely. I'm sure there's valuable lessons for them to learn on overpass as well.
they got ruined on that. But I think it's maybe a better way to look at it in victory.
Two strong maps from them. Let's see how we can fix that one as well. But that's a huge
scalp to pick up here in pro league. So congratulations to bait for a great performance.
And to come into the third map, unfazed after that second one, again, just a round of
applause to them.
Quite a lot of two zeros we're seeing here, looking at the Swiss bracket. It has
been a busy day, a very long day here, especially for production. We had many, many over times
earlier on in the first half of the show, but it has come to its conclusion. And these are
the scores on the doors. So plenty of action today. And there is plenty more action coming
your way tomorrow as well. Well done to Bates. I think that is it from us indeed. It is.
So again, it is just a few hours until we are live again. So make sure you're following
the channels. Get some sleep. We'll see you tomorrow. Oh, no, we have to talk more than
and say something next. Oh, okay. The next series. Okay. That is actually the time until
the next series. Okay. So 631 minutes and 39 seconds until the next series. So don't
go anywhere. Nice. If you can.

What is this guy doing?
This is madness!
Stop!
That's what I-
No!
That is a beam!
No chance at all, dog!
Stop!
No big bite here, and no turning in your approach.
There's someone about to bite it off!
I know the feelings won't come round again
No, no
No one's waiting for a lightning
You see him, he's striking me like sand
He says, all right
It's all gonna come together again
It's all right
