When the world is cold, you hear people say, Gotta chase the dream of yesterday.
But the story's told, the golden memories
Ain't a truth, but just a fallacy
Well, there's hustles, dealers, liars around this road
And they'll feed the fire and watch it all explode
Gotta put those flames out of it before we burn it down
Got to play new seeds in this ground
Don't let yourself be troubled
Old things from yesterday
Keep on moving, come on, don't stand in my way
Some people want to move you under
Some people want to make you cry
Some people in need like thunder
We gotta fight the fear
We gotta do right
If the hustling grind
Bricks yours to ride
Do your turn and bring the other side
If the hustling in your mind
Makes you decide
It will crack and strip you of your pride
Oh, there's hustlers, dealers, liars out on this road
And they'll feed the fire and watch it all explode
Gotta put those flames out before we burn it down
Gotta pair new seats in this ground
Don't let yourself be troubled, Oh, I've been going yesterday.
Keep on moving, come on, don't stand in my way.
Some people wanna put you under.
Some people wanna make you cry.
Some people wanna be life under.
We got to find the meaning, we got to do it right
Well, don't let yourself be troubled, I think it's the day
Keep on moving, I'ma take a stand in my way, yeah
Some people wanna move through wonder
Some people wanna make you cry
Some people wanna be right under
We gotta fight it all
We gotta do it right, yeah
We've got to do it right
It's been a long time and I've missed this feeling
It feels like freedom, it feels like healing Floating up the floor, past the ceiling
The wind in my hair, I can see the light At the end of the tunnel, as I'm taking flight
Man, I'm feeling like myself again Man, I'm feeling like myself again
It's been a long time and I miss this feeling It feels like freedom, it feels like healing
Floating up the floor, past the ceiling The wind in my hair, I can see the light
Like the end of the tunnel as I'm taking flight
Man, I'm feeling like myself again
Man, I'm feeling like myself again

No.
Now let me guess, your mates betrayed you and literally nobody has faith in you anymore.
Do you like CSGO skins?
They're okay.
The first weapons cases were a little too new wave for my taste. Case-hardened, death by kitty.
But when Operation Phoenix came out in 2014, I think the Asimov really came into its own.
Commercially and artistically.
The whole collection has a clear, crisp, colored pattern and a new sheen that comes from specialists
that gives the skins a big boost.
They've been compared to the print stream but I think Asimovs carry a more gritty,
Complementary, sense of style.
Hey, Harry.
Yes, Chad?
Why are there mouse pads all over the floor?
Do you have an event on, a LAN plug or something?
No, Chad.
Is that a rain jacket?
Yes, it is!
In 2018, Valve released this.
The Danger Zone case.
It has most latest and greatest editions in the collection.
I think there are disputed masterpieces in the AK-47, a weapon so necessary that most
people won't even think about it.
But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance
of full by-rounds.
It's a personal statement about your inventory value itself.
Hey Chad!
AHHHHHH!

I'm joined by Mr. Machine Richardson, how are you?
I'm very excited, honestly I've been waiting for my moment, my chance, my moment in Brush's
Kitchen.
Your time?
Chad's Kitchen.
Yeah, well, no, this is my kitchen.
Brush's Kitchen.
This is my kitchen, right?
This is all my shit, all right?
So let's get that right.
Anyway, today we'll be making a lemon cake.
You know I've never made a lemon cake.
I don't think I, I mean I've made many of my time, you know, as a professional
chef, you know, this is actually my recipe, I assure you that, but yeah, it's a lemon
cake.
is this organized? Like I see how everything is beautifully laid out. Are you measured everything?
Of course, I just eyeballed it. Look at what we've got. So this, do you want to have a guess
what this nice substance is? Yeah. Well, that looks more sugary than that. Correct. That is probably
flour. This is flour. I did add a little bit of salted flour. It's all delicious. The flavor
on salted flour. And how did you ratio that? Was that just a little sprinkle? I actually just
I just banged a little bit in my hand, it was probably a teaspoon.
Again, sure.
Also, we do have some here, some lemon zest, a zested lemon.
And the product of the lemon zest.
You may see a plaster on my hand, let's just say this is no longer a vegetarian dish,
I'll make a little bit of my meat in there.
Oh wow, I always wanted a bit of your meat, right?
Yeah, get me a cube, alright?
Okay.
We do have some nice, beautiful baking powder here.
Okay.
I don't know how they make this, or where they get it from.
From the bakers.
From the bakers and the powders.
Yeah.
Two little bits of lemon juice here.
The reason for two, Alex, is because we're going to put some in the cake
and some is going to be used in the icing.
Okay, and that's what that is?
Yes, now this big cup right here, we did run out of bowls,
so I didn't have a cup.
Okay, I think sugar, you know, so I mean,
you live in where you got some beautiful butter here,
grass fed, I'm sure.
Yes, perfect.
I don't know what the package said, but...
Yeah, and of course the chickens.
Happy chickens.
From the cows as well, I mean, the eggs from the chicken.
Happy chickens.
What came first? Who knows, bro?
I don't know.
Do you want to have that conversation?
For the podcast.
Anyway, so this is some beautiful sour cream.
I just, I didn't buy this.
I just left it out on the balcony for a while
and we've got some beautiful sour cream in there as well.
So this is a mise en place.
That's what the professional chef does
before they do anything else.
With most recipes, you want to blend the butter
with the sugar.
Okay.
All right, so I'm just going to grab a spoon.
So the butter, we're going to just
going to slot this in here.
Look at the oven.
Beautiful, the noise after that is beautiful.
You know how to do this, you've seen this before.
Now get some height on there, all right.
Whoa, whoa, okay, yeah, it's like tossing water
out of a flooded boat right there.
How's that?
Yeah, that's good.
What are the black bits in my sugar there?
That's from a previous recipe, don't worry about it.
Oh, we don't worry about it.
No, we don't worry about it.
Okay, did you get it?
That was fine, that was fine.
Okay, okay, so there we go, there's the egg.
That's a bit extra flake.
Okay, there you go, extra flake.
So now we have this in here,
We need to get to the blending.
Mr. Blender, my favorite.
All right, go, go, go.
Let's just say that Mr. Blender,
he doesn't do a very good job,
but we're gonna continue anyway.
We're gonna add an egg, whisk a bit,
add an egg, whisk a bit, all right?
Do you know how to do the one-handed little cracker open?
Do you think you can do it?
Yeah, you can.
No problem.
Let's have a look.
Yeah, what's this?
Perfect.
All right.
Any no-shell?
There's actually no shell, well done.
Thank you, where's the liquid liquid?
I just bag in the same girl.
Beautiful.
Now we're gonna mix this up again
and we'll add another couple of eggs.
So let's get whisking.
Okay.
Let's get whisking.
Let's get whisking.
Okay.
Let's get whisking.
Let's get whisking.
Let's get whisking.
Yeah, that's a good thing.
See that?
Energy, power, Bob.
Energy, power, Bob.
Oh.
Now we can offset that to the side here.
Okay.
And now we are gonna mix together the sour cream
Lemon juice and lemon zest and some vanilla. Okay, so let's mix these in you grab that one
Okay, what same time I don't know if that's two table spoons probably we're gonna find these in
Okay, three two one powering. Okay. Wow look at that. Now we're gonna drizzle some of this in there
I'll tilt it for everyone so they can see how beautiful it is. I'm gonna measure this you bet you bet
That felt good. It's a big cake. It's a big cake. All right now
Now we're just going to mix this together until smooth.
Until smooth?
You want to get in there and just get that along.
This is where all of our lemon flavor is going to come in.
I think that's like if we were to do a bunch of egg sides,
guy, and then eat the meat, it'd be sour.
Anyway, that's for the next episode.
Get the lemon zest in there and just get that in.
So now we're going to mix this baking powder,
not baking soda this time.
What's the difference?
Sorry.
Sorry.
Senator Nass.
So we're going to just drizzle that in there.
always when you have dry ingredients,
you think you don't need to mix it,
you still need to mix it up.
Some, you know, YouTube out there will say
this is the whiskey business going on right now.
Now we're gonna do some magic.
This is not all the ingredients come together.
Okay.
So, if you would like to take this,
it would be my pleasure.
Give that a drizzle in there.
A drizzle.
Can't you like, artistically?
Oh, and the higher the better.
This is getting paved with, oh, look at that.
Going everywhere, all over the kitchen.
The sound of that.
Lovely, that sounded good, huh?
That's good, that's perfect actually.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
We're gonna pop this flour in here nice and slow, just mix them.
And then I saw it falling.
Yeah, just fold, fold it like a piece of paper.
Have you ever felt folded a piece of paper with a stick?
Yeah, well, a wet piece of paper.
Just a fold, here let me show you one.
One, do you mean one fold then I'll see it.
This here is a correct fold.
You go under and then you just like fold over.
and then you go under and then you just fold over.
And you just keep doing that until it's all incorporated.
It sounds to me like you guys are just using
different words.
Starrings.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There's a folding technique going on.
Yeah, you should fold it.
I should fold it.
Trust me.
Round and fold.
Very aggressively fold.
That's fine, you know what I mean?
Round and fold.
Sometimes chewy cakes are also good.
I'll try.
Yeah, now this is looking good.
Folding.
We could have made this maybe
sift the flour here.
I think you fold it round like that
and then you...
Give me that, bro.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Now, we're going to put this in this beautiful baking tray, shall we?
Yeah, this is all ready for you.
I'm just going to hold it steady.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So let's get this high up as we can.
Look at that.
That's a nice move around.
Yes, bro!
Yes!
Yes, keep it really unpredictable where you're going to go next.
I'm getting scared about my aim here.
I'm going to need to scoop and eat a scoop.
Okay, I'm going to scoop some more of this floor.
I'm here, I'm here.
I'm here.
I like this.
I can play this game.
It's beautiful, the instant dollop in there as it goes,
the knock-way needs to come in after that.
Oh dear, I've got some on the pot.
Oh you did, I wasn't watching, I closed my eyes.
That's good, this is gonna be pure flavor coming up here.
When it's roast in the oven, it's gonna bake up
and it's gonna be beautiful.
Smoothen that out just so it's all the way across.
This looks beautiful, honestly.
Wow.
Now that we've mixed all that beautiful batter up
and we've put it aside, let's make the icing.
Let's do it.
It's fantastic. I got like three ingredients. Very simple.
I can guess how this goes.
I don't even need to help.
Well, I mean, I would guess you put this.
Come on.
Well, okay.
I would guess you put this.
I would guess.
You're correct at first. I'm wrong, Charlie, you're all right.
So you don't want to make?
No, this is icing sugar.
So careful, it's going to...
Oh, it's like asbestos.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
It's like asbestos, but you can breathe this.
Are you sure?
Yeah, it makes the air sweet, bro.
So we're making sweet breath.
Or breaking bad, okay.
Look at how little milk.
That is a really small amount of milk.
What do you think that's gonna add to the entire product?
A bit of moisture, a bit of moisture.
Bang it in, bang it in.
You would be surprised how little liquid you need
for this whole product to get this out.
I'm not gonna add all of this.
I'm gonna take a little bit.
Well that's like a chemical reaction right now.
Oh it is actually.
Is it gonna check if okay now?
Yeah.
Now if you would like, just do us a mix together.
Pleasure.
It's looking like icing though.
Yeah, we're going to put this over there and hopefully it dries up.
We're not overnight because we're waiting for this in the studio right now.
We need to be real quick with this actually because they're waiting.
But that is looking...
Let me feel what this looks like.
Oh, that is thick isn't it?
It is a thick boy.
You know what?
I think that's bloody perfect.
Yeah, I would have jittered it.
Alright Alex, now we've got the icing sugar and mixture and the icing already.
All done?
Yeah, that's all done.
So now we're going to flag this in the oven.
You'll see devil talk.
Give me a minute.
Hey cheer up boys.
It's only a best of five.
Gassad.
Gassad.
Gassad.
Do you enjoy an alcoholic beverage?
Of course what?
Vodka!
Don't close the Ecos.
Those sassel-made boys, what about them?
Yeah, that's right.
Interesting. You had some back-end lines today, I think you should feel good about that.
Well, alright, guys.
We'll now, peace this morning.
Yo man, that thing that happened on a short walk back to your hotel room last night.
That was hilarious.
This is rare.
Egg on your face, right?
You go.
Ah!
He's a good epaulette.
Good afternoon guys.
We've been in touch for about some hours.
I'm hearing the buttons!
Oh, shit!
Oh
What the fuck why
I killed my I kill
Cheers!
How familiar, Perique, this is eSports, I'm not football.
I wanna be a better man, I wanna be a better entry fragger, you're a piece of shit.
I can't stop you, I mean.
Your outie is fond of films and owns many movies.
Some pirates you love complaining. When will you stop?
Yeah.
I
happen to feel like anime is probably ruining society.
i mean i could see why you say that
Money with you forevermore
I've never been so sure
We will grow together
We both know we found our inner peace
In the unity
I want to be with you the whole time
Like a loving one to some chance
With no doubt in my mind
I'm right there, but I wanna be
It's a mystery
The way it all makes sense to me
When moments that we share
Feel that we can get fresh air
This feels like home
Tell us I can feel it in my bones
The further we're apart
The more I can in my heart
We'll have our share
Of heart, hip, and difficulties
Because no matter the day
What we have is still a reminiscence
So listen to me now
I'm gonna bring the floor to town
For the love you want the sun shines
With the house
And that's what it has to be!
We don't know what's going to be sent down!
Our warring is a path we can't!
It's a path we can't!
this
ESL presents the ESL pro league in partnership with intel
a surpreter
DHL
So
And chat
Yeah. Welcome in to the final
day of the B stream here, of
course, for EPL season 23. A
little nostalgic, you know, that
music is kind of going in our
fields. Yeah, you know, tripped
our memory lane of yesterday's
highlights, of course, some funny
moments, some big moments, you
know, that that maca one
stands out. Yeah, but either
way, we are coming into a real,
real dangerous day here. We've
got some more knockout, some
We've got some stage one stalwarts that may well get knocked down and also a chance for qualification for a few teams as well
So really really gonna be a difficult day, but an exciting day and nonetheless, you know
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to right this is kind of a day where you really get to kind of separate the teams
I actually do have a bit of something about them and can actually translate what they used to have land performances
through the online scene which you know occasionally will crop up and you can see where teams feel a little bit more comfortable in
They can't straight and those who require I guess that kind of the camaraderie of being next to each other to really level up
And I think we've kind of got that recently with foot as well right there aside for us to we
Assume the online presence will be natural for them
That's been their careers up until the last 12 months
But they've been struggling just a tad and I'm really looking forward to how they pan out today
We've got the brackets of how things have got to this point
What are a few teams make their way through as well that being the likes of miles over to zero over mongols and
and spirit to zero over none other than G2.
But we've had to say goodbye to a couple of teams as well in the 03.
That be Monty and Heroic, those two sides, decent in the first stage as well.
And I think as well, even them making a somewhat deepish run into all stage two is actually already a win in itself.
For Monty, this is a side that only as of late have kind of found themselves inside of the top 20s,
are still looking to really find where their level is at.
And for Heroic, we're always going to give them the caveat.
They're not playing with their full line up, they've still got youngsters to stand in,
to stand in, even though he's doing fantastic, that is not the initial plan for this heroic
side. But Bayfam themselves eliminated now from Pro League and like you mentioned, we
have to say goodbye to a couple more sides as well. As you can see, foot bay, Stralis
phase, Furia, Payne all find themselves in the 1-2, so we're going to have to say goodbye
to three out of those six teams there. But on the flip side, for Mongols, 3D Max,
Navi, Legacy, G2 and Aurora, three of those are going to put their spot in towards
the playoffs, which is what they are all vying for. And the Remainers, of course,
will also find themselves in the 2-2 bracket, which also does get kind of interesting in
its own self. It's the real pressure. The do or die one best three makes it to elimination
and qualification and tomorrow's proceedings. Like we said, we're getting towards the stage
end or the tail end of stage two. And, well, you know, sadly, it's also the last day
of the B-stream. Yeah, I feel like it's become a real kind of part of the routine for us
for like nine days. We've kind of got our system waking up, going to grab a coffee,
feeling ready to kick off the B stream. This is the final day of it has been
wholesome. It's been very wholesome indeed. I mean, just looking across these
matchups as well, they're going across both streams. I think some really great
games that a stream side of things, you know, some fantastic matchups over there.
What we saw from 3D Max yesterday. I don't know the discipline was there.
They definitely felt like they had a bit of a fire under them. So I could
maybe see them taking the Mongols potentially will find out.
You know, I was really enjoying what I was seeing towards the end of the
matchup that they had against foot yesterday.
I mean, we've already kind of had quite a few upsets already up until the stage where,
you know, sides are dropping in ways that we didn't really initially expect.
I mean, even kick-starting things as well, where we kind of got the likes of bait taking
that fury. I mean, that was a bit of a wild one out the gates.
Even bait taking a map off spirit to start off that series.
It was already looking a little dicey there, and bait were having a little bit of a
rekindle of the form. But since then, it's been a bit downhill.
So seeing whether they can recoup their form today.
But they've got a tough matchup.
They've got a game against foot, which really isn't going to be the easiest.
Once the highlight, Krebbenny a little bit heading towards this series,
because stage one, Krebbenny was the number one
rated player across the entirety of that stage,
and he was absolutely flying.
But despite getting pretty similar ADR,
the round swings considerably down, and so is his rating.
And that kind of seems to be one of the key causes to why foot has really struggled.
Yeah, maybe just not finishing off the kills, you know?
I think the difference once you get into that 80 ADR range as well becomes, you know, quite big actually it can be four or five kills the difference and still getting decent damage.
The matchups here as well for thought something to also consider stage one they were flying and then we look at this Astralis matchup right where they looked very, very good the first time out and completely disappeared the second time out considering it was quite a quick turn around facing Astralis again.
So maybe some of that you know,
youthful confidence over confidence
coming into play there.
But yeah, a really difficult kind of
journey for them.
And yesterday as well, I think we
expected it better from them against
3D Max, but they were honestly just
pulled pillar to post, especially on
map one. I think it's one.
We jokingly mentioned it.
Kind of yesterday, but we sort of
become the kryptonite for a little
bit every time we caught them.
Well, we are again.
Yeah, exactly. If we go three
to three with foot taken losses
and then maybe we really are the actual kind of kryptonite for this side because you know obviously this is a side that for the last kind of year or so
I've been absolutely flying since then moved from
Novi Junior as a core to foot of the organization
They've been one of the most informed, one of the most fun teams to watch in all of Counter-Strike
And yeah, for the two times we've caught them, they've looked very lackluster
Yeah, no it is true, it is very very true I think
Again, they're a team that are going to have a lot of attention on them
They have been quietly, I think, moving under the radar here.
They start off relatively well against Furia,
then they took a map against Spirit,
and suddenly we were like,
maybe there's something going on here.
A lot of it does come down to the young man on his screen there, MPL.
But yeah, they also, I think, as the graphic shows here,
have had a pretty tough run of things.
Yeah. You beat Furia, then you play against Spirit,
and then you lose to them,
and somehow you end up playing Narvi.
So, you know, what the hell's going on right now?
I'm sure they're asking this is maybe their first matchup against the team that you would expect them to be able to put heads with a little bit
Yeah, and indeed be competitive. So we'll see how they perform that. Yeah, exactly
I mean, it's just how things pan out for you when you were hollow a seed, right?
You're always gonna come against these top dogs is it's the way you've got to kind of work your way up earn your stripes
A little bit as kind of this new aside of the bait as well
You know, they've always been incrementally
Climbing in towards the the top level events, but they've never been able to make seriously deep runs
That's what's been the thing is that they get towards the event but getting a run in the event itself
It's always a bit of a bigger ask as well
We have this map pool and on paper it looks like the Vita at least in my mind feels like it actually can be
Kind of predicted here, but that's not the case as we've seen throughout with what the Inferno
Which neither side like and you just assume that foot are gonna ban that out
But then you go towards it like to Bayer like what do we ban here?
Do we ban the Anubis which we have been bad on or do we ban the Inferno or do they ban the
Overpass which they've also struggled on and foot don't mind for me
I'm probably leading in the way of foot going towards a mirage bait going towards a dust to another side of ancient
That's sort of where my mind leans here
But again like we said we've seen with some of these Vita processors even the last couple days
But we've had a couple of real rogue ones come through
Yeah, absolutely
It will be the inferno away for foot, but the overpass is what bait choose to go towards so
Certainly curious the the D2 coming out. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense here and kind of running the mill for foot
What do they want to do?
So looking to try and punish rather than play into their heavy heavy strengths, that's certainly curious to say the least and you're not going to get chance on that mirage now also funny enough.
We kind of saw this yesterday right? We even went into a stage one where they were picking into it. It's obviously been a bad map for them, but they're still floating at new bits or picking into it.
I mean, we're actually going to get a nuke as a decider.
So ancient felt like the handshake,
maybe they just didn't want the handshake in a sense, right?
They weren't feeling that, so they're going to go towards the nuke,
which one of those maps that on paper feels a lot better for foot.
And there's also more tapes look at there as well,
beta one than three on that map,
but beta in a bit of a precarious spot,
as are quite a few teams at Pro League
where they just don't have a fleshed out map
or that they have some real distinct weaknesses,
which actually gives teams a lot of reps.
Your foot, for example, plenty of different choices of where you want to lead in this Vito.
And it kind of feels like no matter what you do,
but always going to win this Vito just by the way you plan that for bait.
They've just got some real stark holes in the map.
Let's kick-start things. We've got the Dust 2.
Starting on that CT side is going to be foot as well.
T-Side start for bait as they are barreling out long.
P250, with the support of a Santiago, going to find the head of Demon.
to get to smoke down as a flash over as well now for them to work with. Oh, he does get
overwhelmed. I expecting that through the smoke play quite smart from kensasore to find that
kill. All important kill as well as now they're able to take the A bomb site and just work
their way through would assume goodness me guys. That was a lot of work. Kensasore
just thankfully the Glock has more bullets I think but quite messy for both of them.
first round of the day. Certainly that kind of syndrome. Tony on the Juleys is the only
saving grace and he doesn't fancy going any further than that.
So yeah, they don't have a kid, right? Oh, that's unfortunate.
Yeah. Yeah. You hate to see those. Kenzie might get more. Nope. He'll lose his life
to Krebbenny. That's whether he can keep the Juleys in play. Oh, absolutely can't.
Just a shame. Honestly, they didn't have a kid. He could have actually given us
a decent look in because I sent the house confirmed damage from that initial long fight but not to be
this was a map you know good start for bait and this is a map that they beat furia on it actually
pretty hands up because it's a six map rest when they looked really really strong this is kind of the
one real blessing in the map for bait and if we're being frank they kind of need it in this
series to really stand the chance this is a series that feels like if they get the dust two it
probably swings all the way towards that third map but without dust two they in my mind probably
We get to zero there. Yeah, no, it is true. It is true. I'm very, very curious to see how this goes down in a foot of learned any lessons on this map as well. I do feel that probably what we're seeing you to touch on your map veto point. It's a lot of like recency bias, I think the maps are being picked. So teams are coming in and being like, OK, we've finished this one.
They lost on it yesterday, or we played this yesterday despite not being a favorite
They looking really good keeping it simple with the aggression out long as well
There's a mess of smokes and flashes over there and foot tried the aggression and even I recognize that's exactly what they tried to do in
Their force by yesterday against 3d max. Yep, just humble long
And now the roe for two on that strap. Yeah. Yeah, you have some spots on preventing or try and keep this rifle alive
of it. That'd be easier said than done though. I think this is going to be too easy. They're
going to go hunting for him. The flash will come round. He avoids it, but sent the owl
now spots where he is. And surely, he sent at least one more fielder looking for this
rifle. He'll drop a smoke. Just give him the luxury of getting out so he gets spammed
down. He's one point of HP. Yeah, he's not surviving this one. He'll dive to
Kenzo. Not the star that foot wanted here out the gates.
However, this is a side that we know are inherently very
aggressive. And they are sort of taking a page out of their
book and flying into fights and just backing themselves in the
aim doors. Generally, we'll look towards this bait side,
especially with this iteration of bait. In the past, it's
always been MPL who's kind of been the leader in terms of
numbers department. But the limit says that I always have
to bait is Kenzo. He for me is one of the most important
players on their side, he holds a lot of high impact roles. If he starts to really get comfy,
as he is so far, that's a really good sign. That's where Bay are in the zone.
Yeah, interesting to see what CZ can do. I don't know if you've caught them with this
player.
Yeah, I've watched the game, but I'm not casted again.
Yeah, okay. I'm not casted either.
So we also casted, of course, um, second power, that was, that was the debut was
all right. But everything else, they obviously didn't quite like him. And yeah, the decision
making as well. I mean, they've used ATL TV back then. I am
crack out 16. It's absolutely crazy made that decision. And
also like just kind of considering that like hatred wasn't
bad on this team at all. Like, yeah, I think vibes might be
important. Yes. And maybe Sega COW also didn't pass the vibe
check. Yeah, pass the vibe. Yeah. Yeah. Important check.
You're spot on. Yeah. And the new boy says he I've seen
These are decent moments from him. Looks pretty sharp.
You're crisp with your body gets out in play, so...
Shall see in this series, DOS is a very good map for Orpers.
A little bit more prevalent, of course, on that CT side.
Off a bay, of course, your phone is firing into this one,
and they're gonna bounce towards that B site.
Of course, personal logs for two.
Make that three as well.
They're trying to run through the flames,
but into the fire of the M4A1S.
An easy shot down towards the B site.
And on this bonus bay, Bay offer up nothing.
I'm looking to take some guns away, but ultimately, I think they're just trying to see what they can get away with.
It's been very fast rounds thus far, swapping between long, some mid aggression, now some B aggression.
And it's like, okay, lesson learned B, maybe not going to work that quickly.
We'll find out, is there anything left in the locker or are they going to regret just kind of lazily rushing in to B and giving foot?
pretty clean round to start the
CT campaign. Yeah.
That's exactly what you want to be seen as well.
You can take data away from
oh, hang on, that was a nice shot from Kensa though.
He's heard the steps of another as well.
We're trying Molly to give himself some space.
I'll come back to this point in a second because he's looking to fight.
Oh, he needs to lose out to Lawrence, who ends up having a fantastic
round there quad to his name.
Yeah, it's a really good way of kind of a foot.
We don't take too much stock in terms of
Half-buys and the low buys. It's that first gun round is the real good look into what?
Basically foot have on offer. It looks as surprised. I think the blinds opened and it was oh so bright
But uh, yeah, that's good looking good start. It is a bonus buy which is again is
One of those we don't take as much stock in that baby
But you want it to be a little bit competitive and it really, really warms us.
It's just like straight contact flash rush B against the first rifle, which feels like a very, very cheeky kind of move, really.
Well, we're going to find out here as things are starting to heat up a little bit more.
a little bit of a tech time out to
Just sort of cool things off Sizi
Cooks up an idea takes that opening or dual looking pretty good while doing so
Yeah, the few interests that I've seen of him and watching some of the games with Sizi in the roster
It looks quite aggressive. He looks like he really backs himself in all the fights
You know, if we get kind of two different styles of all but we can get real combat style of warping
Which of course is way more prevalent in towards CS2
We still get these like turret style orpers people who are very good at holding angles and patients playing what not
So he seems like the type of guy who is more than happy to set a bit of a turn and a bit of pace himself
Which is fun. It's entertaining counter strike, but it's not always most consistent
Which is the issue with the combat opening it. It's hard to keep that level up
time in time out
Open it in the head to head against cemetery
Wait for his confidence. They're gonna go back over towards long. There is three players a though
And she even the fourth or taking over the jugs is making a move back towards mid if flash out along
Get this controller on a lot of body tools. Hey, this could be tough. That's really could be
Quickly contacting up there. They've got some players, you know slightly more advanced off-beat of the timing CT defensive smoke
We'll slow them down Mackenzie's all looking to use it to his advantage
He's the only one to have crossed in they're using this man advantage well, right? Like send the extra player that you have
To try and get some more damage. He's gonna do just that not quite a second
confirms the location of a few players though.
Meanwhile, the other guy coming in from B, who's absolutely miles away from the action.
I think they're just going to try and wait for him. Plant coming in.
Don't take any peeks and let a senthyal jump up behind.
I don't know if it's going to be considered this quickly to be honest.
And of course the CTs have just got to move into the site and try and get it going.
They will indeed peek through to the T's that were on the side, but that one was pretty locked in for me.
Nice little find from Bates.
Yeah, whether it was the site players or I sent the arrow in the flank, that round was all but done.
I think there was a way that...
Really fucked up the cover of that, unless they got two incredibly quick shots towards the site players and then immediately took that space.
But nice work. Like you mentioned, I think in the round, it's just a really good usage of that extra man that they've got.
They're playing this trade game, but ascending the feelers out, quite aggressive.
What do you want to see?
4th on the board, 4th bait. Semitri's got an orb. It's a half buy for everybody. Bar him. Big investment. A hero AWP is honestly kind of rare.
Got a bit of a slow start as well. So, see how he pans out in this case. He's got at least a couple of kills this orb and they're probably to recover a rifle to really have a chance against the full buy of bait.
smoke towards door. I'll trickle
Yeah, it does. But thankfully it's still blocked the top. The only issue is you can maybe sometimes see gaps through it, which is what cemetery's got. All he needs is a pixels. The smoke kind of
they get us to make down of their own.
It's four in from tunnels.
It always made me so nervous, man.
However, Alex is the one to catch and will be dropped for now.
The other player as well trying to recover the orbs
to the whole numbers game goes against them.
He just does not know where they're coming from.
That is unfortunate.
Cemetery was right place, right time,
but decided to abandon the position and lost his life.
Yeah, I think it's all for cemetery.
He was a little bit scared of if they are going
for a full rush in towards the B of all five in this direction, which you shouldn't really
be expecting of a lurk smoke, but I think for him, he was sort of soft saving already.
Like if my two teammates on the site die, I'm just going to run away.
Not to be.
Last man is Krebbenny.
If the tour is long with a 5-7, I don't think he'll be given too much of a look in.
Spotted out by the orbs, and now he's in own quantity.
They don't really need to fight him.
They know it's a pistol.
It's not really worth their time, to be honest.
doesn't have half armor, sure, but we gotta live as long as you're 4-2, and that is the case.
So, these are some pretty decent rounds being trained together here by Bay.
They had a change in leadership as well, midway through last year, where Bay, you know,
there was a side who were doing quite a good job of climbing the ranks and becoming
a bit of a certified tier 1.5 team. They were kind of like foot last year.
Exactly. You know, not quite the same heights, but close.
Yeah, and then, you know, things started to go a bit downhill for them. Very, very early X's and
quite consistent bases in any of the top tournaments they were playing. And it got to the point where
they realized they could change. So rather than having MPL doing the calling, which he had done
in the past, and he would be basically the star player and the caller as well, they changed it
up and Alex took over the reins. And it seems since then, as well as this side, I've got
a little better in terms of, I think just consistency and performances. It seems like
like he's brought a real air stability like baits highs were really high, but the lows
were so quite low under MPL, but they found a bit more of a middle ground here.
Well, Alex is definitely IGL before. I want to say would it have been within bait or maybe
his previous rosters? Let's have a little bit of a look and work this out.
What are we working out? Just sort of like who he's been playing with. I think so this
Bate roster here that would have been like Captain Kirk and people like this.
Sarkovsky maybe? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So more like 2022, it's obviously been a while and it was in go,
but I believe he was the IGL for that team for a period, but that one also swapped around.
I think Captain Kirk at times also would have been the IGL there. Who else have we got?
Like maybe owner? Rinkle? Rinkle's the name you'll know for sure.
Yeah. I wouldn't have called, but for sure. Yeah, it's like, you know, it would have been on that roster, as well. But yeah, so Bate kind of had a roster before Alex actually moved out of that roster to join different teams and then sort of came back with some of the players and whatnot.
I feel essentially I might have been in that roster at one point as well with Alex 666. So yeah, I think there's a bit of experience there, but sort of moving it around and it all depends on the philosophy of the team and the way that they like to play really.
really some T. I think in tier two, honestly, I think the idea of one person calling everything
kind of in the way that you might expect a caragon or like a lexie be or glaive back
in, you know, all these big, yeah, I yelling names. I think that kind of philosophy is not
as common. I mean, we've been sort of, we've worked with Macca yesterday. We kind of asked
what was like in the team. And you know, Macca, of course, somebody's eye jailed in the past,
even a body when he's part of that lineup, he's obviously done some decent calling in
in his past and now of course gravity is the leader there.
But he was saying, you know, it really depends on the side
on the map, I mean, who gets vocal.
And Maca was still saying like, I still talk a lot, right?
I'm still giving ideas and still making goals on the fly.
And that is kind of how CS2 has progressed.
It's very mid round heavily these days.
It's very on the fly.
I think you also need people,
like everybody needs to be chiming in with the frags.
So you can't have one person tanking their stats
and micromanaging the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah.
The game just doesn't function like that anymore.
But you know why we value Krebbenny so hard right because he is one of the best
fragging RGLs that we have at the moment.
But the style that they play is relatively loose.
So it's not like he is there moving the chess pieces.
Yep.
I'm sure he's just the guy that they default to when they need an opinion or a game plan
or whatever they're like.
Right.
This is the guy who has oversea of the whole team, you know, has final say.
Yeah.
And a lot of these sides, you know, both foot and bay are kind of part of that
parcel of where they are very loose and you know mid-roundy and whatnot they have like a set plan
pre-round or pre-match of this is how we play and this is what we want to be doing but it's all about
adapting really on the flight. As we've been having a long conversation there's kind of a bit of a
two-pronged attack as well we've got kind of room towards A but it's actually a tight
arm for the CT balance I like that move at the same time they're moving towards B
and logs got three K earlier. Oh, he's so close to three there. He gets to
Sizi's holding for the flank and he'll find one of his own. He's not trying to get another
try to get him off that angle spam him down through the door as well and down goes MPL
So what felt actually pretty clean. That's maybe a squandered opportunity by bait.
Yeah, no for sure with the orb on the lurk
I expected things to get kind of dicey
then he has the trigger discipline of that first player jumping across but
Unfortunately just not able to find the shot and that's gonna be you know some some young man first big tournament nerves
the short
Fought in with their second still not quite enough still required a lot of heroics
The transfer going up like that. It's just crazy. How?
difficult they can be to land
But he does get it done either way, you know not to be immediately the negative Nelly here
They have to give us a few more than that, right? And they have to give us some clean ones as well
They are still in firm control able to buy back here and probably for the next
A couple of rounds if they keep those bomb plans coming. Yeah, exactly. They've got decent residual cash
So here spot on I think for bait we need a footmatch and we need a real level of consistency nice
Molly orp on the angle combo
Do they know about kensasaur who snuck his way out but at the same time
They've sort of traded places as demon takes pick control. It's an orb on the angle who finds a creep through the smoke
This is a shutdown towards long demon who loses life, but for the most part
This is a pretty good shutdown by these two out towards long. It's time. She's still here
Opposed with the orb and says he peeks straight into his demise
Cynthia was all that's left and he might join in the same fray a swing and a fine
he's tapping down. It's a nice shot. Don't get me wrong.
Mollie down as well.
He'll make life a little difficult for the AWPer.
He gets a slow down in time.
Can't catch the flank. Nice round by foot.
Really, really good shot down towards long.
Yeah, indeed. I think fair play to them.
Ultimately should be able to string a few more together here.
The fact, you know, as we asked, it's clean.
It is denying the bomb plan.
It's pretty much the perfect follow-up to finding that round
over on B. I'm gonna be pretty damn happy here and ultimately able to keep them
coming however there is still a buy available for bait the way that the
econ has worked out it's a bit broken not enough to drop across there's some
utility missing but certainly it workable for a T side if they continue
playing there. Best hand we'll see if they have any sort of secret rounds up
Let's leave. Yeah, it was lower
He'll get out in front of it for the most part. Yeah slight tag by the HG
Lose this round baiting you probably lose the lead with it
Felt get the fourth and they have a freebie
10th of the fifth
So pretty important round to keep some control here for the T side
You have that by that we spoke of but it's Henders or I say a bit of a dip just a deagle for him
pretty good with it but you're really looking towards the rifles to give them
something in this round so he can pick a one for himself. Early presence towards mid,
short control being taken and a long lurk being left there with kensan on that
the eagle. Ritical smokes out here. They're getting dangerous so looking to move through
the smoke actually. A few breaks coming in, clear the close angles as best they possibly
can. MPL gonna fly down. There's low time panic setting in. The jugs is able to find
him. Brenny goes down. However, demons position I feel this late on into the round is so
very strong not revealing himself just yet finds the perfect time he doesn't get both I
Really thought he would so divide away meanwhile late look in oh no
able to spin around and find him the need has killed the plan so it's all on to scissi
Young blood all eyes on him can he get this clutch up?
He takes a dink from the pistol surely too many targets and eventually goes down. Oh
Man that is rough kensizor
I'm telling you, Wendy's hitboxers are turned around, players struggle. They really do. He was on his side though. It wasn't even like he was back turning.
Slightly different. Honestly, I do feel like he's getting CS 2 a bit there. That is really, really rough. That is a heartbreaking way to not get that kill.
He gets that one. That's an orphan to work with. And then who knows what happens. But to be making a call for their first time out as they're for the first time in this series, actually, in a bit of trouble.
trouble now for us to scale into this game. Well, we do have a break though. There's no
better time than to mention to all you viewers come and check out the the mail by send us
a mail. Make sure to tag the B stream in the title as well so we can see it and then we
can have a little chat about it. We've got a couple of games. We've got plenty of time
to chat through some mail but DHL mail bag at E F G dot G G.
You know what it is. You know where it is. Go and send us an email. Yeah. I'll
Ask us some questions, you know, I feel the way it's been going it's been like sort of stacking up
For James and Dan towards the end of the day because you know obviously there on the latest shift is more emails that come through
We've not necessarily had a segment yet actually with with the earliest start and whatnot. So yeah, let us answer some emails
Yeah, we can we're good philosophers will pondear questions. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely
Yeah, that's what I say, you know my second calling
I'm going to load the 7th tree.
That's the 4th and I'm going to go long.
Sweep that secondary, can't hit the shot.
They're taking control.
He'll lose his life.
A couple of missed shots there.
That's going to give them a bit of a path in towards B if they want to.
They can't smoke the cross is the only issue.
So Kareni can reclaim that space,
but they might just use numbers to try and barrow in towards B.
Yeah, but there's a rotation in here.
I don't feel too confident about it.
Lovely little set up as Krubeni holding the front line.
Does get taken down.
His car angle though is so powerful.
Alex does well to trade him even from there.
He is kind of trapped with the bomb now.
Demon in a decent spot to try and take the fight.
There's no smoke for this cross
and there's no assistance for the time being.
Have they heard a step?
It seems like both the AWPer and the M4 pretty sure
of Kenz's or however, demon goes down.
The AWP can't deny the cross and surely on 30 HP he doesn't have a chance here.
There's some money available so I respect the fact that he's given this a look, really, really wants to make sure that they find this round.
They absolutely should have been earlier on.
Unfortunately, he does just have to save as soon as he crosses that threshold.
He's still thinking he does have to save, but going against the grave, is it going to work for him?
No, that's why it is for me a should save rather than who might save maybe save
It's a definite save in my opinion. No, you talk on a retake. You just got no chance really
You've got a rifle to work with potentially we could say give it a look in
Yeah, not to be nice one. I found some really really good shots and kensel that the ego as well
When he gets on the flank is the most important that gives them the space in and actually it allows Alex to cross
He was stuck, he was in no quantity, and gives him that luxury.
I'm almost to the side.
Don't see that too often, but if you get one for free, why wouldn't you?
Well, since you'll lose his life,
he didn't flick in time.
Along control take, there's a bit of a trade of nades behind,
and Deem will take a tag, but speaking of the AWP,
Cemetery will make his sing.
Now go to Centiel, and an MP9 that's pushed on forward has found Alex.
This round's falling apart for Bates so quickly.
Yeah, fucks definitely do have a bit more to them towards the tail end of this first half,
but they winning a couple cheeky rounds, they're individuals maybe sharper here on
this too.
Even thinking about it, smoke's going to go down, kensasore, smells alright, oh there's
a resmo, that's pretty clever.
and he gets checked. Jugs surely won't be free here, but it's not that barrel. Easy fight.
The last man here is Kenzozo, and now D.O. makes his move.
Well, it's again. Make it a one round game.
I think it's towards the final as well. Of course, you're going to get a buy out of bait,
but it might be a little bit janky.
Had that bomb plant, and surely won't have to buy a round,
but a lot invested in towards that.
Another AWP picked up around the one saved, I mean,
a big dip in towards the pockets
and you can see the knock on effect, right?
You still got an AWP for Sissy,
but it's a Galeel for Alex,
Diggle for SMPL, tech nine, four MPL.
So one premium rifle, one AWP.
And the Galeel is kind of where
you're really leaning on here.
That's a star well.
I'm pretty far back now for bait actually. So yeah, they've suffered a frag and suffered
some map control. So for me, should be winning this one out. There's one player with a full
belt of utility and then some smokes it's really not an awful lot for bait to work with here yeah
agreed trickle down works this time it works I'm engine at the time yeah but actually a couple
of rounds ago when they had that popping towards A and it sort of fell apart very quickly there
was actually a couple of miss smokes the the cross smokes the one that trickled down
into wall CT yeah yeah I didn't know it dropped down and then got corn a few of those small
mistakes have actually been creeping in towards bait a little bit to miss utility missed opportunities and this is where foot sort of
Had the number I feel like they're both hitting as hard as each other at the moment, but they're not making these critical mistakes
That's a shadow spot down to a shore
Which is interesting
So how it would work, you know with the Sun and the shadow. I'm not so sure
Maybe gonna get a scientist out check that one, but it's information within the game. It's jugs at car
I
There is a defined design for each and every person
There is a place that you are to follow and no one else can afford
Searching for a way which you know and don't care
It is not a common thing that I need
Or something that's too good to be true
There is a design design for each of them, there is a device that you want to hold and no one else can hold.
First you need to do what you know and else can't.
It is most of the feeling.
from foot to keep things even.
Still not nomination from either side.
We now have foot on the T side.
Not sure what to expect out of this one.
MPL going to get taken down early
as they have worked through the burst
into one shot, but Sizi standing strong.
Oh, for the four piece.
Glorious.
We are as yet to see why he's been picked up,
why he's a name that we should really
have under our microscope.
This pistol is giving us a great example.
Kenzie all peeks up and steals it.
He was rotating over as well.
I know he was so ready.
Kenzie gonna let him take a fight just for the love of the game.
That probably would have been his first ace, right?
So, good effort though.
Really nice shot done.
It was looking like short was lost.
It's a nice move.
It's an Xbox spoke, which we don't see as much of as kind of a priority.
Yeah, it's sort of like a classic one.
Yeah, sort of the priority.
But long as you use the Xbox to get up and then fight for the first,
for the first spot.
This is just so well as I say it doles pretty well done all, Krebhany, little access will
jump there, so I'm not costing you that jump for look.
Information gained, MPL, hello, auto shot done.
Oh, well, Sizi, great round, great round to a nothing round, the jump after the shot,
you know, empowers your next shot.
You've played right, MPL got a lot of money here.
They're looking towards a split with some mid presence
He's in a good spot for whatever they decided to do because it doesn't look like they're gonna go long
Now is what you can see the dragging a cential
Intowards up a tunnel so an MPL doesn't really have to worry about behind him. You can hard focus on this mid-fight
Then they all can weigh here and MPL all this money to be made in I can smell gosh
Oh only one as well for my instant trade with the clock by demon
Hold the phone here might be onto a round
Benny with the scout up short see if there's any aggression there except the owl close here
There's got to get all of these and he's immediately traded as well
You also
Exactly. I mean that's why I was sitting forward to dangerous weapon that you don't necessarily need armor
You know the aim punch doesn't come into play as much. It's gonna be the two-man recovery
They're moving in really quickly here, but it's the auto shotgun again
that will get the better of them and man a
Solid eco just the scout bought up and they're able to take it in pretty good fashion three players surviving
Yeah, cheeky chuckle from demon as well as he's just that use their own weapon against them
The first shot is actually really nice with a glock. He's very force. It's already tagged up
But it does well. I mean those sort of Rangers doesn't matter what gun you have. You're not coming out on top of the XM
So I'm one of one for one of my favorite guns and I'm just like that exactly why but a great round to steal away for foot and
We speak quite a lot. It's not the pierce. That's the most important stuff for spy
That really dictates the early
Kind of a mental in the game and unfortunately the flip side as well for bait
They're gonna come back into and have to go into a buy off the back of the attack pause
But you can't bring a lot to table. I've just lost the round to the open the new same with a scout bought up for MPL
Chelsea sad to see that nobody from foot kept all the xm either opting for a famas over it. Yeah
You got our tunnels domination going
That's how you entry be with an XM. Yeah, I'll give you the entry
The classic weapon bro, left for dead on the XM, they've got the best weapon left for dead.
The only card games as well, they're pretty clean.
Brings back some real memories.
Oh, MPL, his scout could do a lot from here.
I think they know it, I think they're weary to give him the fights.
Gotta be careful, jugs is left pretty low, but sort of trapped in slightly along now.
of effort to get out of long. So you might as well try and use it to your advantage and
be all missing shots. In theory, this would allow the gap to close and eventually his head
will roll. Sensual, the eagle still, you know, give him a good look in on this one. If you
can find that low HP player first or quick 1D around the corner, all that bomb goes
down by that. Be something
happening takes that kill. No
damage alongside it. He gets a
taste of his own medicine,
though. Is now the lead. I mean,
foot point themselves in a
fantastic position. I think
after winning that eco as you
would expect. But they have a
real chance to keep this CT
side under the couch. They are
in trouble. They realize as
much as we do. But they are
in a really, really raw spot
low buying towards this one
to work for for bait as well. Difficult predicament. When do we use it? I actually wouldn't even
mind them using it towards the next gun round. I feel like if you lose this next gun round,
you're playing such a recovery game which is not really possible for this side.
The consistency required would be, maybe it's just a tad too much against a side of
foot who are really ramping up in towards this game. I'm going to start to see the
individuals really hit hard. I mean, Jugstart 0 and 6 in towards the game,
now 9 and 11, Deben's flying as well. Many continues to be a force to be reckoned with.
have opened up for him. The Mac 10. There's more bodies around and there's more cash to
be made with the SMG looking for the third. He'll get it. Job done by him. Three kills
for the price of one and a Mac 10. You'll take those odds every day.
A bomb site right for the taking as the utility comes over. Alex is pretty low. The Nades
might see him off, not quite. They're after him. They really want to kill this
to be able to do that. They
will. So again, a relatively
cost less round for the side of
foot. It's time to pick up a
lot of momentum here, feeling
pretty confident. And again, as
we say, this is a matchup for
bait where it becomes a bit
interesting of like two teams,
similar styles, similar
approaches, leaning on the
crossing point as it were so it's a test I think for bait to see are they a bit
flukey is fury are just really really shaky this event can't be anybody or are
they actually looking decent it's it's a really important game
demon he says they're looking at it like easy frags to be honest there will
be some quick trades back system trouble long to see it rip ahead now
Now, they've got A-side control. Now, MPL's in trouble.
He's got a decision to be made.
Do I continue to hold this long control
or do I double back towards the site?
Versus two, and he's making a move here.
MPL, this is born, I love it.
This timing is nigh on perfect.
He's in behind here.
This is the bomb.
That's right!
Somebody squanders a chance.
Oh, he's just a little giddy for the fight,
and in doing so, now, Cabrini steps up the pace
and you'll run all the way towards the A-side.
MPL had a freebie there, and he fumbles it,
And now they're going to be playing retaking this two versus two.
Longs up close, Benny gets that C4 punched in,
or about, makes up for the earlier mistake
and it's all on Long because he's looking for the fight.
He just doesn't know where they are.
One towards short, one towards Long
and they're playing quite patient as well
and they're going to join each other
as they both are going to progress up Long.
He's holding the cross.
Well, it's off on the site.
They're not really sure of where he's at.
He's playing a really, really unorthodox angle.
And he makes it work for that second.
playing the first one cross
knows exactly where he is.
Damage need not quite to kill
11 HP and the jumping a gate to
get it done. That is
absolutely gorgeous from
long span. So well played comes
in as a soldier for this team,
the oldest guy, the most
experienced guy, but he can also
put up the numbers and win the
rounds. Yeah, that's textbook.
Really, really is and you can
There's small mistakes that are costing bait and it's the same kind of mistakes that foot aren't making.
They're a bit more clinical. They're a bit more clean in their counter strike.
These sloppy errors aren't creeping through.
And if you allow them to apply a lot of longs upon a shoot,
that first shot that he hits on the cross is incredible as well.
That tap in that one versus two, brilliant work.
Lovely nade as well. That pulls MPL off the diffuse.
He could have even tried to stick it, but he didn't really have the time to work with.
And a bit of a cuckly shot as well just to seal the deal.
Lovely from longs really really nice round and for bait
I think that potentially even could be the real nail in the coffin that could be the
Straw that breaks the camels back in this sense. I think they're gonna check out a little bit
They don't have the money here. It should be up to a level to put all your pressure on towards your next and potentially last gun round
You're gonna realize on the look of this dust to how many chances they squandered this this is kind of the
Map that will keep you up at night. Especially to lose the series from it
I have opted to play safe as well sure how things are going to pan out as you say bait
making a lot of these mistakes are they going to be able to patch them is it a symptom of
the way they like to play you know we saw them just like a Rottweiler out of the gates
It's honestly absolutely demolishing those early rounds.
Terrible flash.
Yeah. It's okay.
That's why you don't flash yourself, you see?
Yeah.
Honks is involved in the back of the flash.
The second, however, is not fine.
He just doesn't play the close corner.
Alex is here.
You can have Molly for it, man,
and a bit of a spam.
They just have no idea of him.
Have Molly suspect?
But it's whether they actually want to go for mid-control.
Seated across the smoke will come through.
The triple stack will be here.
The bait side.
I'm gonna go for the close one anybody gonna spam it. I like still just hiding in plain sight a little bit. I guess they have no reason for it
Yeah, first fight comes in towards short. That's what a site taking a problem all but
One kill is a soon the deal here. That's the the issue of a gambles back
It's all inherently a gamble funny enough and well this one doesn't pay off
No, they might give it a look. I mean, look, they're going to buy into next rounds a few
players with armor and whatnot. The MP9s are workable in the next, I guess. They probably
do want stronger weaponry than this. Yeah, I think that MP9s are saving the other two
are having a tiny little look. I think they probably they have to be upgraded for me if
they want a chance. Technically, if you think about it, if you keep the lesser
weapons, you convert a bonus by your chances are increased, you're going to have more
long-term cash. Yeah, it's just, they need the rounds. Also you have a chance, yeah,
exactly, of getting a bonus buy to be converted so slim, especially against a foot who's looking
as fearless as this. Yeah, I think it's the armor. Yeah. Cheaper head armor,
and then they'll move on to the M4s for short. There you go.
A shot. He gets his reward. Not quite for the second. 11 rounds. So, I mean, foot on just
a crazy win streak. You know, there's been a couple blips here or there,
But ultimately they're able to reset them into this half right after the pistol and they just kept it going at the end of the first half so really I think the rifle rounds and the the main rounds the important rounds just all been about them to be honest with you it's a real run of like
I mean, look, it's 11 hours, 13 rounds for them, right?
And you're looking at kind of just even some of the smaller
stats around the like MPL own five and opening
duals compared to the other side where basically everybody
is positive and open duals bar jugs being a slow start to the
game. So we'll give him a bit of credit there.
But it's just all the stats that are necessary for the
success of foot right now are taken into place.
You get one MP9 for kensasore kept in play, but around
that before buying upgrades or in play for Sissy who he's not a terrible game to be fair.
It's not these like super heroic moments at the moment.
Then again on the flip side, Cemetery hasn't been light-tired either.
This game hasn't really been decided by the orbs, it's just bifling cause and in particular
people like Cremini, like Longs, Sissy, oh, loses his head, Cemetery patience for him.
Well now the first NPR makes a move and he'll catch Longs.
It's a big person to drop, you know, his impact and he'll get a second behind it and stays alive.
Good work by MPL. He's given the ability to completely reset, but it's hard to be psyched.
Yeah, real machine play coming in from him there, 70 out.
Does have a gap, a pretty large gap.
Cemetery with this smoke is lagging behind as the players have already made it out.
They want to fight, but I think they just really need to stay alive,
even with a dangerous one. Does get traded.
Oh, smoke's gone to Mars as well for the door cross. I was looking at the minimap light,
it's taken a little while.
Where is that? Is that on top of this tower?
I think it's out of the map. I think it's just gone, to be honest. I'm not even joking.
It's all the way to Mars, so we can't even see it. To be honest, two on two here, though.
And a real position of power for the CT side. That bomb is so afraid to cross. He's
incredibly low. Just gonna have to take the risk as that clock winds down. Ooh, an unneeded
peak, but maybe a catch was available there for MPL. He doesn't quite find it. So we'll
get that bomb down, but he's got some good control and info to work with. It's all on
jokes to clutch this up. Such an important round to be taking and it's bait to get
it. Oh, bailed out by the finest of margins. Yeah, the failed smoke, really. Yeah.
Yeah, it really did make life really difficult for them. I wonder where that smoke even
when like I think it's obviously meant to like bounce off something at the back of the
back of the warning and it didn't bounce so just kept going on the minimap it was like
each thing is not that hard of a smoke generally yeah I think there was a lot of panic going
on though with players being out waiting for this smoke really needing this smoke I will
say as well for MPL he does it excellently in this round he opens it up and closes
it too like he has an absolute flyer of of around and second time out for foot
But they will show the respect over towards Bay.
They've still got the breathing room,
but they just don't want to allow them any way back in.
They've still got a few rounds and areas for them,
but it's just about that making sure I'm back in.
There's no issues in that sense,
but they know there was a couple of mistakes.
And just as we've been saying kind of all map along,
Bay are the ones making the small issues
and Bay are making these kind of problems for themselves.
And the same thing isn't happening towards foot.
They're a little bit more clinical,
a little bit more clean in that regard.
have a bit of sloppy round and that's where bait punish. So on a four to let the foot off
the gas or slow down by any means. If you start to coast bait will punish.
You know, it is true. I mean, you know, time out, I think, taking to just even things out.
It's one of those rounds that we talk about sometimes of like, you lost it rather than
the opponent's winning it. They were definitely in a winning position and just squandered
it. So I've got to make sure that doesn't happen again and also make sure that the
mess of the previous round doesn't get to them mentally.
Let's find a reset. Let's just go through whatever this round is
called, you know, whatever the call is. It's simple. Oh, MPL
thinking getting aggressive there, but it's a flash after the
Molotov that convinces him otherwise.
Look down there behind.
But our incrementally work in their way up mid.
That's an interesting smoke.
I guess it gives them the cross, but very exposed to the potential door angle.
Molly on towards the corner.
What is the play here though?
Because the bomb's still over towards B tunnels.
Have you eyes trained on that?
I saw this one.
Oh yeah, Freyja and Machina a little bit.
There you go, those are the big lineups.
And it does trickle down.
Not perfectly, you know.
The Lanet machine had, it was really good at filling down below, but then this has got a bit more room above.
Maybe it makes it harder to break.
Essentially so. There's some nuances to the smokes of course.
Grubeni, you'll find the first.
However, the main hit coming in towards B here, they look to burst through.
Not ready for the player at car, who's doing a lot of damage. We'll go down.
Or Kensizawa that doesn't get an awful lot going for him though.
Still low HP bars and only just getting that bomb down.
the Molotov. I think stops Alex from just barreling on in and trying to capitalise.
Two flashes, one Molly. Oh, they're not after it. They save it. Wow.
Old call. They don't know the damage. Yeah, they did. I'm sure they'd have a look.
I felt like Krabeni was confirmed damage at least towards window, but yeah, I think you're right.
I don't realise maybe how good they had it. And also the fact that there's no left over
utility for foot to kind of, you know, for the cross or to Molly and towards window.
that's a kind of round that you really could have given a look into. Since you'll get one
as a consolation, it's for to find themselves on map point now on the opponent's map pick.
So, babe, this is weird. Just one of those again in hindsight. If I look back at the
bottom, be like, we should have done that one a look in, especially at this late stage
of the map as well. Yeah, this is the thing with the saving
creeping into, you know, obviously dominating the map, creeping in.
Yeah, it's storming in, I think.
Yeah, Foot though were a team themselves that sometimes give a round like this a look, you know?
I just feel like you have to take the risk, the percentage-based counter-strike
against a team like Foot who are unpredictable and, you know, we've interviewed a couple people
that have actually beaten them, right? Particularly, I think it was Stare that we had on,
that talked about. And Makar, I guess, we spoke to him yesterday after.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but Stare, we asked him pretty good questions about Foot and I remember
I remember him saying like, you know, because, yeah, it was like Astralis had been beaten and then they beat them and we interviewed them after Astralis beat them.
And I kind of asked like, you know, do you think this is a team that you've managed to like figure out? Obviously it's not been loads of time, but the difference in the two games was pretty big.
Yeah, O2 and then 2-0 it was, yeah.
And just also quite dominant.
Yeah.
And he was like, I don't know about figuring out, you know, they're very unpredictable, they're hard to deal with, they have so many like different calls and whatnot.
That's the team that maybe you do have to just send it against them kind of time to time fight fire fire
Yeah, right you have to be unpredictable yourselves
I mean that's what a starless felt like they were against this foot side
Definitely the change up right yeah, not run your own rounds and just play pretty reactive
And we spoke about this heading into that 3d max game
Well, we said the best thing that they can do is not fall into foots play style
Like you can't afford to go into a bare knuckle brawl against foot
They're aside who will happily kind of go down into the mud and brought it out
Where you do get out and that's the worst kind of game to play against the cyber because they're so good at it
They're so good at just taking these really puggie affairs
And off of a
That was the perfect time if you really want to do the change up Molly down or force him off the corner
He was really aggressive so blind and so damn dead demons swinging and finding and now they're going to scale in towards the
a cyber not immediately a molly down or slow them down and they've got a bit of
time at 45 seconds they don't need to commit and there still is a player jugs
out towards long who's waiting to set up that flank trickle smokes come in once
again even a simple no real variation on this they will drop one in towards CT
two in fact to just mix up proceedings however they're pretty ready for it
it's that second player who makes all the difference he just gets spammed down
but it's a two versus two.
Plant for long, play the bomb.
Hopefully keep it as simple as that.
There's a lot of useful on both sides.
Kendi's got a full belt.
Sente has also got a flash as well.
Wow, they're trying to play as quietly as possible.
You see how they don't jump up Xbox?
Yeah.
Also worth mentioning.
No kits, by the way.
Maybe an oversight.
Not to have one is there one down on the site.
Is there one retrievable somewhere?
Yes, actually.
Yes, actually, Kenzie does manage to get his hands on to one.
That's what he was looking for.
Not long time left on this bomb.
They'll get a smoke on top of it.
Got that kit player on it for the game, to be honest.
Break comes in.
And that's the kill they needed.
Semitri to find the other for insult.
Two injury.
Beautiful game from FUT.
It took them a long time to get going.
FUT like fate were in control for a long time.
And maybe the whole time, if it carried on the way
that it started, but FUT turned things around
and they absolutely close line their opponents in the end of the seaving scoreline, right?
Yes. Yes. It does come close.
Is you might argue for bait, but you look at that in the beginning.
Both pistols paint a very different picture.
Once you look at that, wrapped out.
If it wasn't for the pistols, this is an absolutely one sided affair.
They use that pistol in the first half to give them five out of the first six rounds.
Right. And that really helped them scale it towards the game.
Without that, it's actually on paper looks like a real no contest
and the times felt like a no contest.
So 13 to 8 on your opponent's map pick.
What a way to start off a foot.
We said we've kind of been there kryptonite,
but they're blessing here.
And I'll head to their pick of a noob is coming up next.
But before we get there, we've got to play.
I think they will.
And I'm scared of that blog smug.
They're still going to get to throw up there round butyl.
Double flash and swing, safe haven found, quite a procedural step-by-step into the site using
that CT smoke as a little waypoint.
Learning, Makar down to 24 before it fades, and for a long-range headshot, that's exactly
what he provides.
Exorcise doing damage to Tecno as well, Makar still there on the site, dipping away.
the season, Mako making it work, just Techno here,
clutch is coming, Techno delivers,
pulls 12 out of the bag for the Mongols.
That feels good. Bottom of the server for Techno,
a non-factor in this game,
and it's the spray to get him over the line.
Give him a map point on 3D Max's pick.
What a close.
A valiant attempt from the two of them there.
Mako on low HP, gets out,
but Exorcise disconnected from the play.
You thought?
Eyes like a horn.
I love that mid-spray crouch, how you control the spray.
Yeah, back up.
Damn it.
Respect.
So, if they're not walking mid-doors immediately, they're walking in a five-coward.
GG.
What a call.
Just GG.
Just 9-10 leading the charge.
Such crazy calling.
You're not ready for this, believe it or not.
Technic Mactan CT drop surely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, he's running.
He's gonna run out.
Leave the charge.
One M4 is here.
Back of you, the world.
Use that smoke.
You go wide with it, man.
Oh, they still clear our run successful.
Heavy nade damage.
Hello!
Nade Pyneanism's Enya brought down by the Phamas long side.
Good pickup for CobraZera,
And this one is all over.
Might have been a struggle some time for the Mongols on these TRs,
but not in this.
Head to head, Dust2 looking to go their way.
And they'll get there pretty dominantly down this stretch.
And fleet of rounds, once they moved onto the TRs,
running rings around 3D Max.
Mongols looking for playoffs, looking for a 2-0.
And the words you say you're killing to me
You keep on bringing me down
Cause you like to think you're better than me
If there was a way to tell you
Love you ain't gonna ever die
You don't even know what happens to me
And you don't even fit again to try
Your time is coming, so stop running
You're gonna have to listen to me
We're rearranging, yet stop changing
Deem our crime, now's the time
I can't take it, won't take it no more
Because the words you say are killing to me
You keep on bringing it down
Cause you like to think you're better than me
You told me God was so commanding
Cause I'm only saying this to you
And I asked and I begged and I pleaded
Tell me what am I to do
And I'm taking no longer waiting
No longer gotta hold on me
You heard me screaming but you didn't mean it
But you said that you would change
No, no, no, no
And the word is again, me
You keep on praying, they're tired
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I can't take it no more
Won't take it no more
I can't take it no more

You just come in, hasn't he still going?
Oh!
Just about gets it!
As the flames come in!
You'll see it, I will talk.
Can you do it?
Hey, cheer up, boys.
It's only a best of five.
Gassad.
Who?
Gassad.
Who?
Gassad.
Four and four, seven of five.
Do you enjoy an alcoholic beverage?
Of course, what?
Vodka!
Don't lose the Ecos.
Easy now. Take him down.
Good, good. Just like that.
Guys, come on. Where's my immersive audio?
You know I need my raw, intimate, crowd audio.
Reducing the proximity of the crowd mics has implications.
Eight meters from the crowds. Come on, I need it closer.
We're following protocol for reduction rate.
Jesus Christ, there are ten of audio guys that could have done this already.
Don't worry, don't worry, they're doing absolutely fine.
Comrade Panovich, come and get me once my crowd microphones are lowered.
Yes, comrade Greer.
Very slow now.
Whoa, slow.
Whoa, you're slow.
I didn't move any mics there.
What is this?
I'm not even touching them.
Look, we did everything right.
Clearly you did do everything right because you're flooring my crowd microphones.
I love it. Well done, comrades.
What did you do?
I didn't do anything.
Look at it. It's fucking beautiful.
I don't understand. Why do you...
You fucking legends. You completely flawed the microphones. How the fuck didn't you get this job sooner?
I apologize for the unsatisfactory result.
Apologize? No, no, no. This is great. In fact, it's revolutionary.
What are you doing?
We have to mute the mics.
No?
So they're in the crowd.
Please relax.
The audience is completely unstable. We have to wait 16 hours to re-reg.
Ha! God, it's audio safety gone mad.
Sir, it's not safe.
Someone in the crowd could scream the word.
What's word?
A word that could get this broadcast cancelled.
A word that you're familiar with.
Safety first. Always.
I've been saying that since the collapse of the CGS.
That's how long I've been working in this space.
20 years.
Is that longer than you, Freyja?
And you, with your mother's tip barely out of your mouth.
If I say the audio's safe, it's safe.
And if you two disagree with that,
I suggest you become audio operators
at either Star Ladder, Blast, or Fisher.
Hell, even better yet, I can personally recommend you
for my old position at PGL.
Vitality entering the arena.
Raise the crowd microphones!
Together then.
Trophy placement in five.
Sir, the levels.
Check!
Three, two...
We're getting a crowd-like surge.
Check!
What just happened?
I don't know.
Two shots on fire.
What are we talking here?
RIP headphone users or PGL audio guy spam?
No, no, this is something far, far worse.
This is an emergency.
Everyone stay calm.
That is our first priority.
There's an F-bomb!
There's an F-bomb on broadcast!
He's in shock.
Get him out of here.
The chat is burning!
Look at it!
You're confused.
That's his German colloquial slang.
Freya, contact Witch, delete all the vods and nuke the clips along with her. Nothing a little memory holding won't fix here.
Call the clear! Richard Lewis has the clip!
Ha! First time? Of course he fucking does! No worries. I've muted the crowd mics. I've replaced the ambience with a little bit of Kanye.
Uh, sir. Old Kanye? Or the newer stuff?
stuff. A little bit of his new stuff, why? Jesus Christ, I'm not begin drafting a statement.
No statement, barriots. What about Reddit? Call the Reddit mods.
So you're not mixing your alcohol.
You can drink it, I don't know, ten hours.
You've reached the age where everything in Counter-Strike is a challenge.
You've played this game for over 20 years.
Your smoke lineups miss the mark more often and you can't entry frag the way you used
to.
Now there are other games that make life a little bit easier, but you don't have to remain
unsatisfied.
FPS dysfunction is nothing to be ashamed about, so ask your stack about CS2 today and join
1.8 million concurrent players who have already turned their limp, bot level bottom-fragging
into a whole new experience.
Open Skyboxes allow for a whole new world of nade lineups, so you can get as sweaty
as you'd like.
Yes, let's go!
A revolutionary sub-tick system brings back those ultra-sensitive headshots, so you can
frag like an 18-year-old FPL star again.
A revamped matchmaking and in-game ranking will have your cues popping again, and again,
and again.
Volumetric smokes with improved swelling to help you fill choke points of all shapes
and sizes.
Several game updates a week will have blood rushing to places it hasn't been in years.
So you don't have to suffer from FPS dysfunction, settling for lesser games.
With CS2, you'll be standing tall, polishing your trophy in no time.
Make sure you're healthy enough to play CS2.
CS2 may cause uncontrollable rage.
Smokes may be blown open unexpectedly.
The substance system may actually just be 64-tick.
You may experience intermittent microstutters, feeling like you're moving in what cement
is possible.
CS2 may be forced upon you in a moment starting to spring impotence as a common
side effect.
CS2 is incredibly addicting.

Welcome back, we're heading underway swiftly into map number two, it's Nubis up next.
The pick of foot after taking Dust2, honestly pretty confidently as we said in the 13-8 score
line, our scores arguably a little bit inflated, the pistol rounds and the follow-ups behind
It's bait when it came to the investments the gun rounds was actually really only one side of the server
No, it's absolutely true
I think it is one of those games that you know you might look at on the HLTV and be like, okay bait
You know they put up kind of a fight
But once you look at the breakdown once you look at the rounds themselves and just the way that there was an awful lot of them
There were no contest or foot were able to actually like come back into a lot of the
50-50 situations of like a 3v3 2v2 that it feels like one kill can decide the way the round goes
the players. Foot were the ones
coming out on top of a lot of
those situations. So really
great play from them. I think
overall to be able to contest
to be able to just get back into
that game that at one point
looked pretty dismal. They
take a time out. It works out
and yeah, foot back to their
winning ways. Question mark.
We're going to find out this
one comes in slightly more
it was only the overpass that
been removed. You could even
argue like the nuke was maybe
an option for a pick here.
Obviously they do have that in
the veto in the overall map
pool, but they go towards a
new bus, which I think is
curious. It's one that they
have only got one map played
and you know, I suppose that
comes into things, but it's
not a great map for the side
of foot. They played at this
tournament, so maybe it's come
So maybe it's come in as a map that they've
Reluctantly had to play. I don't know we're gonna find out ultimately as this one pans out, but I'm slightly worried
You know when things are so low for one side. It's like anything can still happen
Yeah
I guess probably part of it is that foot saw that spirit gamer and saw that kind of bagel dumpster a little bit on it
There's a 13 or seven there on that. However, it's it's spirit like I mean like it's like it's one of those
But yes, they lost to it triumphantly, but most teams lose to spirit triumphantly and especially aside of kind of bait caliber
Who are kind of half a tier lower? It's yeah, I'm with you
I definitely saw my my worry my reservations especially because on the flip side as well for foot
This map that there is tape to work with and I saw also table on how to beat them on it as well
No, let's we've seen the player at this tournament already a couple of times
They got a loss against their mateys start things off
Which isn't great matey or so that look a little bit weak at the moment and they did beat passion you a
But again, it's like a passionary side that we don't take too much stock from at the moment
Especially because of where they're at in terms of the grand scheme is the side that's still working things out and they're handed for a pretty triumphant
Good boy pretty triumphant win there. So we're not taking too much stock in them
I'm a team of flip side. It was a pretty one sided ish loss from a side who again
I yeah, like we said, we don't really take too much stock from them
So it's a bit of a worry. It's definitely a map that is they're trying to incorporate in towards their pool
And they're trying to play it more so and it gets floated a lot against them
But picking into it is the rogue thing. It's just like we were saying there's so many options of foot to go in this Vita process because of baits
quite limited map pool as a whole and why they went here will have to see like they must have honestly spotted something in that spirit game
where it's like we can replicate this or
Scrims and practice have been going well
And they don't think that the the results and officials actually reflect how good they are on this map
We'll have to see but ultimately when we look at you have that game pandal
It was just a really good showing from foot in terms of their rifling corn particular
It looked very good longs. It was it was deadly in a lot of occasions one them a lot around you
Especially that one that won me to clutch which was was really really good from him demon look back to a bit of his best as well
That you see a bit of an underwhelming demon at this tournament compared to what you used to
In that map he looked really clean and he's firing all cylinders and he's quite puggy
So maybe they're kind of hoping that he can do a lot of the heavy lifting on the T sides
For the most part though for bait it doesn't really matter anymore about the maps themselves just because they just never really showed up
We just didn't get enough from that side MPL to all that lower end of off kind of scoreboard went 10
I went 16 and 16 may I say with a naught point seven two
Racing overall that's not good enough your best by air being kensasaur as well in 15 and 16 like it's not a good showing
Nobody went positive only city a neutral right which you're never gonna win maps and series
We're score lines like that. We need the superstars to show up
We need your kendo swords major MPL is really firing it all some of this if they want a chance to stay down for yeah
I mean they they're close to it
For sure it is just some of the supporting cast that maybe not quite able to help out or have moments
I think that also comes into play, but still
I'm
weary of this map
I really do think that you know they could come out and just all of a sudden
the map and be like, okay,
maybe we can shoot back here.
A bit of pressure removed in a sense
that it is this Anubis and comes in
as a pretty tough one.
Well, backs up against the wall now
and knockout on the cards, of course.
So we'll see what they've got for us.
Percent fial to open with one on the Julees.
He's that lone B defender, though.
Or they will be quickly trying to flank around
and rotate in, trying to cage the T's here.
NPL good for one.
Surely got to go down.
down low HP low ammo. I would have thought as well. They do chase him down to find that
frag, but in doing so, they've left a lot of space on the site itself. It's going to be
a full 10 second hold coming in here from Alex. Can they find him in this smoke knife is out?
It's crazy. Oh my goodness. Krabeni just manages that that circle look full to me.
Yeah. So it must have been awfully close right in the nicotine there just down
to the last slash. If you miss one more slash, they do defuse that bomb. Oh my, that is close.
It's good to get around out the gates though of a front, especially being that it is a
pistol as well. We kind of spoke about that. They elevated their score more so than what
their ability actually showed in towards that first map with the pistol rounds. So
finding that to start is nice. It was two in a row. I think you needed to land
there as well. Oh, God, that's half a second maybe. But with the kills found,
will be forced buying back in. A gamble here towards B. The bomb is looking in the direction of A and
at the same time it's talking about Alex actually slightly moving off the site.
Over towards camera. It feels like long is actually just a bit of a bait and switch.
I should kind of sell the roots.
Honks. Oh great find from him actually. I thought he was going to get to ride so
over at that angle. Oh demon making money as well. The Mac 10s are taking all the glory
here. Just Sizi and Alex. You have Sizi in close proximity but he's going to get beaten
as well. Man the Mac 10s rich as hell right now. It's all down to Alex on the other
side of the map. Yeah a lot of money being put into those back pockets that is for sure.
On track for the flawless round unless as well against the four spy which we really
really sick if they get it for
foot. Alex.
Realize the player behind him
and companion seat off the last
nothing to be gained from bait in
that one. So the second found
the third will come for free
here.
Won't be any sort of a
talk or an investment.
We'll bait.
It's early in towards this game,
but it's not a good sign if
we're eating a force by not even getting a kill.
He said we need some real superstars to show up, we need some real numbers on the side
of bay and especially from that rifling core and so far not so good.
Deagle's ringing off, already actually looking to be alive felt like those bullets were quite
close to finishing him.
So you just got to be careful here not to lose too many heads right, I think you
want this one. We super clean.
And of course, we did see, you know, low by round for foot is
what started their domination in the second half in particular.
And does all finds an isolated play going to get his hands on
to an AK decision to make now. Does he want to get involved
in the action? I think it's trying to just sneak out of here
and hold on to that as best he can.
He's all the way and spawn, I think, especially if they
where it's gonna dive in towards the A side he would be free to save. Now he
actually might be the closest to the action in a way. Smoke gonna flash
behind it, they're getting the exit kills around and even still Kenseth was
continuing to maneuver his way forward. Bomb planted. Kenseth's making a move on the smoke, he should be dead in a second, you'll get
won. Kenseth expect a second, he's double checking towards Pilly and loses
life eventually. All now on Alex, you can't find the shot, the
eagle three and I were a little expensive couple of
constellations, but footwork me to know about that.
No, it is during the match to recover that actually, which was
one of the scarier guns in that round, you know, a bigger gun
to take away and deny, etc. So they'll be happy to come in
that. And now it comes into a pretty important barometer as
They... they're like two and a half, half sub-counter-strike have not really shown us very much.
So now is a chance to change that narrative and try and remain competitive here in this knockout series.
The Honk six and that Molly, only for one damage, but it's information gather.
It will take E-box control.
Locked by a smoke, another in towards main as well.
They're going for a B dive here, they might send a 5 in.
It'll be a bloodbath, there's three bodies here to meet them.
The first fight is a missed shot,
steaming an MPL, trade blows, commanding an MPL again.
He's trying to stand tall from back side.
The MPL has given life in this round.
Four kills to his name and now a 1 vs 2 for the AWPer.
Unbelievable lineup from MPL.
Just a molotov here to cemetery's name as he looks to try
and clutch things up, 1 vs 2.
going to go clearing in towards dark and canals. Clever. Clever.
Good information for him to work with now.
Likely that they're just coming in from the same angle.
Clean shots need to be landed.
Smoke onto the bomb, though.
That's kind of the office. Worse nightmare.
Molly comes in. He gets aggressive ahead of him.
Finds the first! Oh!
The no scope is so close. How?
How has he not landed it, they say?
Alex will clutch up, but I think it's going to be close.
You know, I don't know if he has a kit.
You might want to get back on the bomb if we can.
I think it's going to be very, very close here.
Just about gets it with maybe a second second and a half
So not quite as tight as I thought it was gonna be but all the same
That was that was dangerous. I was very close in the nose. Just missing
millimeters away
What an effort from MPL though?
Again just why not perfectly for
Seven years of the hero we get it
from the guy who has always been sort of the captain and the voice of reason in
this side
there's some fight in bait which is good to see
he's asking that what a bonus buy
Sizi nice shot in the break of the smoke Jugs will get caught
longs up quick trying to find a trade here
he takes him down low nearly gets caught
he's so good at these spray transfers man
really been on it. He had one on the previous map. That one not quite as flashy, but I also feel like he's just had a few across the course of the week.
Sizi, he does manage to find one back, but there's three more to get through here. His teammate is not really with him at the moment.
Actually on a very long and awkward, info-less flank as it were. They don't have a kit available, but he catches Cemetery sleeping.
Maybe back on I think with that kill for me it confirms it unless Alex can defy the odds here
You spotted out wins to fight against the first can he win it against the second show
You just got to play the time here around the pillar. It's slow. He knows it's gone
He knows it's gone. No time take the AWP and save just about able to get that one foot
It's not a bad effort. It really isn't a bad effort
I think he says you the odd does really well maneuvering around the site
In the end, it's an all-save and that'll be about as good as it gets. All-save, four kills.
It's not bad, but you can rapidly see that the paced-up foot putting on pacer is looking really
dangerous. So an early tack timeout taken on the CT side. Not really too much to converse
about for foots. The game plan is kind of working. They're just manoeuvring as a pack.
There's something that Foot really liked to do. We spoke about it. These sort of bare-knuckle
brawls as we're foot are really in their element that's a decent example of it
they're diving in towards the site and just hoping you trade effectively obviously
can work against you as we saw the MPL spray down in that instance long just
have to stay alive around pillar times his best friend and foot extend the
lead to three rounds once again very quickly as well these rounds are
really punchy from foot is he getting aggressive looking for the first kill
just yeah he's able to cover his teammate however he can't protect his head
that is what rolls for Benny in our middle the end of the smoke here could
be very dangerous. And PL crossing through. They have both managed to make it past him though,
all one spotted. Surely not the second demon looking to capitalise, but there's MPL striking.
Demon however still goes unchecked. They think it's safe. They fly through into his cross-set.
He makes quick work of all three, so clean and so well played with the opportunity presented.
Yeah demon he's so clean. It's just an oversight. I can't really even blame bait for it
They only spotted one on that kind of cross through and as I think I was just trying to buy a
little bit of time. He doesn't expect even a close nice work, but
Can't really account for that second play but it's through the proper check for it
Nice movie. I said they are tries to trade there, but what a kind of
reaction from demon that cross their train in the sky
Five to one, money broken for bait.
Ritter pistols to the most part. One, MP9.
Lasher's coming through, Mikotrol taking very quickly.
He's just given the luxury of getting out, but he's about to be smoked.
Trying to support a demon.
You can't give him opportunities like that.
So unbelievably sharp.
sharp. Yeah. Like we said, you
know, we kind of feel that we've
missed him for a really, you
know, a big portion of this
tournament we haven't seen the
best from demon. We're seeing
some of the best from MPL,
though. I stumbled the from him
may swing towards mid, but I
missed opportunity and long
sees it off. It's close, though.
One or two more shots hit and
foot in a bit of trouble there.
That is naughty. That is very,
very naughty indeed.
to be able to keep up. Everybody
looking sharp in the right in
places. It's just placing the
round. Unfortunately for Bay.
It's MPL who does look sharp
with the rest of the squad, not
able to keep up. Not able to
give us their quota. Of one
round. One Kilper round, maybe
two. Once in a while. It's
just not happening. Time
like this a big rifle round, you know, when you hit the six marker, it's a pretty big turning
point could get up to eight rounds. And you know, if you really keep them in the dirt,
these rifle rounds are not going to be too hard, right? They'll lack that one key flash
or the kits as you see in this round. Yeah, it's on track to get kind of ugly at the
moment. And bait, I really kind of cut the bleeding off. But that's not a good
Tenpiel doesn't buy a kit. I'm gonna be kind of annoyed.
Nothing he is. Two seconds to one.
Oh no. No kits at all.
Silly, silly for me. Four bait.
We'll see what the ramifications of that are.
Is that gonna be an oversight later down the line?
It's okay if you end up winning out the AIM duels,
but you're caught into a retake and you don't have it.
That'll hurt.
DL swings. Damage dealt towards the orb.
Making a nice move here, Kenzie came just creep under Carpets.
Holding this water angle is really strong, but MPL will lose his life.
Another opener, swing and a miss, Kenta saw it in our known quantity.
His best option is falling back to safety of the A-bomb site.
Which he does, nice work.
In isolation, it certainly could be good.
Meanwhile we've got a light execute coming in, whether it's followed up on remains to be seen.
be seen. Two in towards middle. Yeah, I don't think they're like hard faking if the middle
guys can find space. You say that the bombs are taken over with a little more a presence.
That's a complete ruse and it's worked. I mean, it's dragged numbers off of the A site.
But with the lack of actually committing to the execute now bait start to smell a
rat. Yeah, joining together.
Shadows spotted, but I'm not able to find the kill.
Kenta's all kind of knows what's up though with that at least Molly down a camera need to follow up doesn't actually do any damage
They're so low here
I mean there's potential for many many kills if he plays this correct
And they're so on top of each other. It's easy for him in fact cemetery the only one left looking to take the fight here if he can
Creeping in doesn't have loads of time to go
They jump round and force the shot how he's got a Molly of his own to keep them obey at camera
fake things out and draws some attention. Sizi thinks he's safe. It's all on to Alex, who's
not moving a muscle until he absolutely has to here. He has no armor on the orb.
Got to pull off a reload. Matt fully gives his position away now. Alex knows where he's at,
but he's baited out of the shot himself. Can he beat the orb? Is the ultimate question?
Is he faster? Yes. It's very well played on the shoulder peak. Trigger discipline,
not quite there. So close for cemetery, but good God. You could see it brewing.
You could see it brewing and Kenzie delivers. Yeah, you could definitely smell the the fumble on the cards there
Nice work from kensizort
You're all so low and so tags on that foot side
Really only needed body shots, but he's so clean of it
I was here so she had one more bullet he might have stuck around for that second fight
He had 20 seconds to work her off the getting scissor and then that one versus one if he had the ammo
he actually might have been confident to continue the aggression but bait off to
their second time out which will finally get a second round. Now looking to
stabilize this CT side they need some sort of foundation to fall back on. They
cannot afford to be going towards the T side with sort of any less than four
rounds in my opinion. Yes it's a T side and map but any less than an eight
four half and bait are in serious trouble here.
Ooh, see this move already though. This should be a known quantity for foot. We saw it happen earlier for kensis
Or we made the movie under carpets
Goaks is holding for sure, but anyone who's upstairs should keep an eye trained cemetery
How they got but a missed opportunity, but there is a naughty plank here
I mean from like the entire team look at whether teams are out
They've just spread out like aunts here. They've managed to find a big big gap
Yeah, just exactly they appear out of no way like how the hell did you even get into my house?
And unfortunately these ones fight back aunts with AKs or dangerous that that'd be a great movie
It's like shock NATO. Yeah
Radioactive aunts with a good over the world. Yeah
I know the eggs but it's part of the aunts. Yeah. Hey, we're cooking it. We might want to be careful
Someone's gonna steal that. Someone's gonna steal the idea.
So many pictures. You've got my number.
Give me a bell.
I'm cooking on gas over here.
This round's all done.
I'm surprised even going for a little look here.
Eventually, the MP9 looking for an upgrade.
But aside from that, it's just not even
really worthwhile sticking around.
They're not going to get given the exits
in this direction either.
Already got all this water, the T spawn controls.
That's where you're going to go for the safe passage
of staying alive.
But finally, seventh, I love the instant response
as well from foot like you lose around, you kind of close margins, you go back to the
same site but this time with considerably more pace behind it like I mentioned like by the
time I rounded even kind of got to the point of being fleshed out foot was so aggressive
like through the site into all the rotating angles and oversight from bait which is oh
so costly guaranteed lead out of the turn of the half as well for foot they're in
fantastic spot. There is nearly nothing to complain about.
We're going to be buying back in here as well.
Just trying to think, who do we have a star in the move?
It's got to be Glen Rock, that's who I'm talking about.
Oh, okay, yeah, true.
And then like...
So, what would you get a cast of Jumanji?
Glen Rock, Kevin Haar, and Jack Black.
Oh, I'm sorry, I opened the door on this.
I don't know if I want to be a part of any of them.
Who is really...
Who are the kind of the key big stars that are going to be part of, like,
Absolute like shit's tier movies like that is them three and then wait a minute. It's gonna be good
It's called like Johansson maybe as well. Yeah, he's using the
Box office slot this yeah, I'm gonna say and it's like make the whole movie out of AI as well
I was gonna say we get Andy circus in he's like the yes, yeah, yeah the classic
Mocap expert you can lead and yeah controller the ants. Yeah, yeah the king of the ants
But you might be on something that we just make it AI. Yeah, we could probably do that this afternoon
actually
Post B3 make me a movie ants with AK's
Starring Dwayne someone who looks like Dwayne the Rock Johnson, but isn't him so we don't get a lot
Compaim yeah
So it looks like Dwayne the Rock Kevin Hart Jack Black Schollager Hansen. Yeah
There we go. Yeah not
Karen Gillan, I don't know why I can't stand her as an actress as an actress
Is she in the Scottish what she was? Yeah, she's
I actually haven't seen Jumanji I don't know why I just know those three
Well to be fair the other names that you mentioned I don't like it one time
But now I've had enough of him. Do you know what I mean?
Went too far. We should have stopped him after school of rock school rocket. You know, that's my most watched film
Yeah, yeah
No joke. I've easily seen that film
200 times easily back in the DVD era. Yeah, it's the perfect kids movie put it on and I could do the whole script
I do the whole movie like with the eyebrows. I really tried, you know, the door channel. Yeah, I can only do one eyebrow though
Yeah, that was it. He's not the only defense here, but well
Him and Kenzie were and down they go. It's easy. It's even kind of driving in a sense dropping that from carpets and
And Alex walks into the spray.
That is as simple as a round gets for rapidly up to nine
rounds on the seaside.
We questioned the Anubis pick, but my god, look at it now.
And the woes of bait on this map continue.
This is looking even more damning than what we saw
against Spira.
Yeah, they've managed to do that homework, I think.
You know, catching that map and figuring out what goes
wrong, that they're just not quite comfortable enough.
And ultimately bait look quite restless,
feeling like they need to do something in every round.
Right?
and a lot of aggression that gets in their face.
Honestly, it's what happens when there's loads of ants around.
Yeah, well, exactly.
Yeah, very comfortable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You do ants in your pants, bro.
Oh, yeah, exactly that.
Did you watch that old Indiana Jones one with the ants,
like, they're like, deadly ants and they eat people?
What?
Old Indiana Jones.
It's one of the more newer Indiana Jones,
but there's like a getaway scene,
and they hit one of the bad guys off a truck.
It's like a fistfire on the truck,
and they hit him off, and he like falls into,
I think it's bullet ants and they just like eat the one with Shia the buff. No, no, no, no
Not that movie. Oh
Who was it before? Who isn't?
I'm not what is he talking about here. I'm I'm the original three Indiana Jones
right the
I'm not tweaking it template do Kingdom of the crystal skull. That's it. Yeah, that's the one with the
I don't want my childhood ruined because you know Indiana Jones is another child.
It's a two minute clip. Half time break.
That sounds absolutely insane.
I know. I know around here.
Long so dive into a fight and lose his life.
This a split's got legs behind it.
There's two players here to meet them.
One heaven.
I like playing up close towards cameras.
You know, wait for the contact.
Wait for the contact.
Wait for the contact.
There's two players here to meet them, one Heaven, and Alex playing up close towards Camry.
He's going to wait for the contact, wait for a sound, he comes to flash, he avoids it well,
but he'll still lose his life and his head.
Sizi should be dead to right, but reacting time to catch Cabeni.
20 seconds, he can't escape to shrapnel the HE.
There's a close cemetery with the orb for one, sticks around for a second, so why wouldn't you?
The confidence is flowing, but maybe overconfidence, he will die.
Two versus two in this retake, but Amalia will keep them at bay.
This is not an easy sight to get into. There's no kits to work with for Bay either.
So they're going to have to win this on raw fire power alone.
Nader on the corner, preemptive shot by Demon.
And Jokes on site, fighting his time. He gets one.
Demon will say it off 10-2 at the half of a foot.
They are cooking on gas. They are on fire.
And unfortunately Bay have no response. We'll see if they can though.
Off to the break.
Oh
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Come on, let's go!
Where I need to ask you, you're bound to see me in the moon.
I
I think I can ever unsee that.
You know, it's not dramatizing.
It's Bay performance.
Indeed.
Absolutely.
So, goodness me, I don't know that I've ever seen that one-sided.
So, that's not great.
Four-Bait, which is a bar, and that's probably about as far as this one's going to go.
Anyway, that's the end of the video.
going to go. Anyway, they on the T side, we're going to find out if they can pick up something
here if they can make a competitive, if they can keep us believing. Uh-oh. Jokes just get
traded instantly though. Makes things a bit weird. He's had to open. Demon is down below.
This is the big thing, right? He was on the way to rotate and just got the memo that
they were maybe headed towards B. 15 and 5. Covering for him. Looking strong or spotted
out now. Trying to find ahead of the timing. And of course he does with him still.
I mean these are the two players you don't want to be up against you got demon who's fragging out of his mind
You got longs the clutch master the the spray master
It is only the pistols here, but both these players have been looking so so good Alex. Okay left to try
Clutch things up its planet for him and they've guessed the wrong way
actually
Off on the opposite side, but demon just can't miss right now
He's in red hot form. He looks so unbelievably sharp
coming towards this year as well for demon he averages a higher head shot
percentage from any pro player in history. The highest course was scream because I
think it was just about I think like 68.3% so that is what screams that head
shot was. Demons is just shy of 70% head shot rate and you can see at some of
those shots you just can't give him the fights 17 and 5 right now and well
4-11 and 2 both pistols as well for 4 nearly every round as well around it
I mean it's just looking like a foregone conclusion that they're going to get a 2-0 here in this series.
Bait, have offered up next to nothing on this Anubis.
What a statement of a map as well, from Foot.
Just aside that, have the ability to be playing in playoffs.
And they should really be aside that, without too much of a doubt, should in general be going towards it.
But they're struggling at the start of this stage too.
Only a couple more rounds and they find themselves in tomorrow's 2-2 games.
Yeah, just got to see it over the line now
Which sometimes can be the hardest part, but I think on a scoreline like this
It's not gonna be the case. Maltoff comes in
We'll manage the first couple of kills. So indeed I am being
Shut up by the bait side of things human does fine, too, which maybe
Gets his back in arms are long enough
Screams around that corner gives a kill away
And another gonna come in as well. They're both moving in through con Krebbeni. Lo ammo has to move on to the USP
Can he make it work? No, he can't. Ascent fial takes him down. It's so close.
But Bay able to get this round just about survive
Finally something positive to talk about with this bay side
Long long road to recovery, but that's a relentless entry into wars that he site is it's nice to see
It'll be a full-buy response for foot they can't bring loads of the table though
P9, few upgraded pistols, said it, force by is generally more important than the pistol
round initially and that bait finding it might give them a bit of a pathway to recover
some of the rounds in this half, but the recovery required is just mammoth.
He did take this one pretty cleanly, first couple of gun rounds before we came in to
to the station. Boosting towards me, the kendo's are all spotting nothing. Onto his camera,
a pop shot, doesn't connect. A lot of bodies towards A as well. Yeah, they have to be very
careful now. Going into it. Uh-oh. This could be a mess. This could be a huge mess. 5-7
and he chimes in for the first. Still 5-7's alive. Oh man, the A main player's got
to try and recover things back. There's damage done. Certainly doable, but an upgrade.
the first round. And then they
can't even get through the
pistols. They just walk
straight into the trap. Into
that stock and it all comes at
the back of the initial camera
player takes a pop shot and
immediately runs away and they
just give you want to chase
and it was all part of the
rules. We spoke about that foot
love to draw a shot and then
they just walk straight into
the trap. They just walk
straight into the trap. Into
that stock and it all comes
at the back of the initial
camera player takes a pop
teams into their traps and that's a prime example of it. Really, really nicely done.
Mapping series point foot now and bait a non-starter here on Anubis.
Only pistols to try and keep them afloat, but this is a ship taken on a hell of a lot of water.
Many a cannonball have struck the side and yeah, they're sinking.
to find the first. I think off
the back of a self flash there.
Oh Alex does find one, but he's
immediately traded. So knocking
on the door of victory here. Going
to be an A play which actually
is like their one win con to this
round. You feel rotations
coming through quick. Yeah, they
did abandon it for a second,
abandoned it for a second, but now they're back in.
They're timing on the MOLI as well.
There's still plenty of time. Don't get me wrong.
Minutes of work with here.
4-8.
They're being flanked though. They don't even realise it.
They're keeping coming in behind as well.
Temmachi probably going to make the rotation over in a second.
Krebbeni jugs combined, and Krebbeni will close it.
Captain fantastic as foot.
Putt on a stunner here on Anubis.
What a showing.
for Bay, not the map, not the series they wanted, and they now find themselves eliminated
from stage two of ESL Pro League.
Yeah, it's a tough one for them. They start off pretty strong actually being at Furia,
who a lot of the top teams, right? A lot of teams in the same put Furia number one.
Yeah, it was second overall, right? By a small margin.
I think everybody a bit wrong on that one, unfortunately. Then they take a map off
of Spirit. Sure, you lose out of entry, but it's like, okay, it's Spirit, you
you know, dog point of crazy numbers as per usual. And I think it was like shiro came in
with a crazy math as well. But then just going from bad to worse, it's it's a high high and
it ultimately rolls down the hill and they end up losing things pretty one sidedly in
the end, you know, just fizzling out the bait team of the past. I think I've maybe
been indeed too much into this year, not quite good enough, not quite strong enough
is the one player move enough. I don't think so.
That being said, the guys that they're bringing in are not necessarily the strongest.
So that, you know, opens up a new problem.
But I just think that they're a bit too readable, really.
They're really aggressive. They're really chasing down kills.
They're playing as a pack.
And that, for me, is something that can catch you off initially.
But you need a lot of heavy fraggers to do that, to keep it consistent.
And eventually you need to be able to mix things up.
Maybe something that thought have done a little better,
still struggling against the biggest names and teams in the world, but they're able to adapt just a little bit more to make it harder to deal with them.
And the thing is, you know, if you break it down to even as more simple factors, just for having way more superstars to work with, right?
Like, if you get a performance like that from Demon, you know, he's been a little quiet in towards Pro League, especially by his standards,
but that is an incredible series when with both maps, he was light, so he was unstoppable.
And I think when you get Demon playing to that level, not many people can go head-to-head against him.
he's just so unbelievably sharp and I think when he is red hot, he gives himself even more confidence,
takes even more fights, which he ends up becoming even more successful on it. It's sort of an endless
cycle of pain for whoever they're against. So congrats to this foot side and they now find
themselves, of course, in towards the two-two bracket. But we run through these highlights,
you can just see where yes, things started all right for Bates. It was five out of the first
six rounds for them and we were feeling like, all right, maybe there's a bit of life here on
and then Matt pick a dust two, but once the guns really came into play in the money was really fleshed out for this side
It was only really one team
No, absolutely true. Absolutely true. It's you know an awful lot of questions that really do come in
To what we now expect to bait, you know, does this project need to change up a little bit? I think yes
It's probably the answer
There's just not quite enough to be impressed by anymore into this year in the same vein
it's very good to see foot bouncing back, right? The stage two has looked rougher from them. They've
had a few more tests, maybe just adjusting again into some slightly harder matchups. And
the Astralis game is a really interesting one in the sense that, you know, they beat them in
stage one and then got smashed in stage two. I think that that opens up this kind of conversation
of like this team not quite able to garner the experience, not quite able to prep in the
the way that they would like, you
know, in some of these matchups,
but ultimately I think that
their potential is still there,
right? And this is proving as
there being a point that needs
change, right? And needs them
to adapt. They're able to do
that. They're obviously is a
very good. I think atmosphere
within that team that really
helps them be like, Okay,
bound and go so well. We'll
revisit, but obviously we need
the 3d max game, you know, is
one where not quite looking
again good enough and not quite
able to change up their structure.
I think here today we saw not
so much on the second map on the
first map and ability to catch
what was going wrong on the fly
and just calm everyone down,
which I think has gotten the
best of them in those two
previously mentioned. Yeah, I
think you're absolutely right.
that was a really, really good show and we all got into you as well in just a second.
I think we'll be drawn by none other than Krebbeny off the back of a fantastic showing in areas.
Krebbeny, thank you very much for joining us.
Congratulations on the win.
I wanted to start by just talking about the series itself.
Pretty clean 2-0.
You guys look very, very comfortable.
Back to your best as well.
Talk to me about what's the differences coming towards this game compared to some of the earlier losses you've had,
like Astralis and 3D Max.
What change coming in against Bay?
I think against 3D Max and against Australia, we start to play I think more passive and we were not playing our game, how we usually play in practice in other tournaments,
that we show that we can play good, we're playing a bit different game.
And today, like we spoke a lot, we should just play how we was playing before, do like we can do push
Just repeat whatever, but just don't play in the situation which we don't like to be and I think it was great that we could throw it today
Yeah, I think you kind of hit the nail on the head for me when you talk about playing to your own game today
you know, you guys have maybe
struggled with because obviously
you've been kind of the eight
team. There's a lot of eyes on
you because you've had this crazy
trajectory coming into this year,
taking some really nice finishes,
some decent scalps in places, you
know, in terms of the bigger teams.
Is it something that you find
difficult to deal with, like adjusting
from playing in like the tier
two and the super dominant
aggressive style and now you play
play against these bigger teams where you do have to find some more structure, but also
still play your own style. Is that something that's quite difficult for you guys? You're
still learning how to do that?
I mean, for us it's more difficult to play, I would say, the ending game, I would say,
because early usually we are good at doing aggressive stuff, also mid run, but when it
comes to end game I would say it's and we have like kind of no info it's a bit
difficult for us.
I want to ask about the veto as well right for you guys we can have questioned about this this
picking towards an UBIS obviously in hindsight a very very good map in the end
but it's not being a super strong map for you guys coming in towards this
tournament and what was the choice and what was the reasoning behind going
in towards an UBIS here you're like one win from seven and yet other maps
in the pool that are you know a little bit stronger for yourselves what
Why did you go for it?
Anubis, it's true we're losing I think every time we have been only lost game until now today
but in the older games it was pretty close game we could win all the times like against 3DMarkz
for example we lost from 12-5 against I don't know who else we was always leading
but we just choked in the end and we knew that we are like good in this map
this map and that's why we picked it then we were ready also for this map.
Yeah I think that's fair enough you obviously look very very good on it here
today. Moving forwards you know you guys still have a little bit more work to do
it's gonna be you know again some kind of difficult matchups and whatnot do you
feel like you guys have the energy now to just see it through to that
final game tomorrow? Yeah of course like two times in all other tournaments
We had the chance to go playoffs, we couldn't make it for one game.
So I think tomorrow, maybe it's the day that we can go through this playoff.
I hope so.
Yeah, final question from me then as well.
I should ask about generally what are the vibes like in the side, right?
Of course, as Harvey mentioned, you've got a meteoric rise.
You've become this kind of like team that everybody's keeping an eye on for.
It must be quite exciting, right?
Going from obviously your days within Na'Vi Junior,
we've just tried to predominantly kind of online competition
to now traveling the world, playing lands, bootcamping regularly.
What's it been like kind of over the last six to 12 months
becoming one of the new superstar teams at Counter Strike?
I mean, when we was in Na'Vi Junior,
we, when we started to have good results,
we always was so motivated and hyped to like show that
maybe we can be in the same level as Na'Vi,
like not maybe to be better as them,
but like just to show that we can win against
tier one teams and stuff like this.
And then when we have the chance, like in this year, we had all tournaments kind of tier one.
It was like extra motivation, but all the work that we have done in Na'Vi Junior,
like it's time to just show it now in the tier one tournament.
Yeah, fair enough. Well, mate, I'm going to leave it there.
Thank you very much for joining us. Pleasure to have you on.
And congratulations on the win.
Best of luck in tomorrow's 2-2 games and hopefully we'll see you in 2-2 playoffs.
Thank you, lads. Bye.
Bye-bye.
Awesome. Always a lot of checking on how he knows. He's a knower. He's a knower. One of
us really. I'm really impressed with Foot, right? That's a lot more like it. We're kind
of painting this picture there. It felt like we'd been the Kryptonite a little bit. We've
cast them twice, both of them being the Losters here. Yeah, pretty happy Losters as well.
But this time, that's more like it. That's the foot that I've been watching on my screens
and seeing this side really rise to stardom. And finally, we get to cast a little bit
of ourselves. And you can just see why they are kind of the team at the moment
performance is like that at this sort of level. I mean, very few teams can keep up with them.
No, absolutely. And I mean, he obviously spoke about as well trying to find that balance. And
ultimately today they come into it. They try and play more of their own game. They were
playing a bit safer, a bit more passive. We saw that against 2D Max, right? Like the
first map out there, they had some force by situation, not even rounds that necessarily
expected to win, but they bring in their usual style and aggressive trying to play
like a stack round or whatever. And it just got read. It just didn't work. And
The early rounds from 3D Max were super, super effective.
And that just seemed to like break the spirit of foot
in that matchup yesterday.
Here today, they didn't quite allow that to happen.
You know, when you look at bait in the opening of Dust 2,
they had a similar kind of story.
They were looking strong.
They had some reeds.
They were ready for, okay, this is our footplay.
Yeah, we can deal with that.
But foot were really able to turn it around
in a much, much better way,
which I think is fantastic to see, to be honest.
Yeah, exactly that.
And that is only our first series of the day.
We have plenty more Counter Strike to bring you here on the B-Streme, as you should know by now.
We've got another game coming up. It's Na'Vi taking on a legacy.
I am very excited for this. Our first time this year casting Na'Vi as well.
So we're really looking forward to getting this on underway.
We do have about 40 minutes until that game starts.
So no better time to go check out the A-Streme.
That Mongols 2D Max game has gone to a third map.
So a bit of a spicy one over there.
No better way to buy the time for the next 40 minutes.
Go and check that one out.
We'll be back in about 40 minutes time as we get things ready for Navi, taking our legacy.
And you know you're going to do it.
RUN!
I'm telling you, don't fuck it off!
Damn guys, we almost had this.
I got that sober.

I thought it was just me, oh, oh, oh
But it's my, it's got me in the thousand eyes
Baby, don't look for me, you don't have to try
I'm already with them until I last goodbye

I pass myself just to realize

map dictated by 3D Max. So they're riding a bit of a high coming into this, and with
the knife round to boot. Alright, let's see if the Mongols can bounce back. Pretty slow
start in this pistol round actually. Not how the rest of the series has gone. Slow to
begin, but maybe quick to end. There's an explosive B-play looms for the Mongols.
Masuta has been sharp in this series. He sits in dark
Let's be ready to tame the Mongols
They're already in good flash to open things up for gravity
And now Masuta plays his hand and he already is if we deal with gravity on the cross
That's both the site players dead bomb now planted. You're ready to cut down the flank not checking
I wouldn't you get the nice get the nice get the nice get the nice get the nice get the nice
Oh
I'm selling that word
Sting's here for 3d max man
I'm so curious to see a 3d max can have three good days back to back like they have been on a bit of a run-in form taking
Down furia taking down foot and now you take down Mongols that would be one hell of a like a back to back to back
Like, giving a pretty good path to the playoffs.
And if not, they're really hoping to get FaZe Clan tomorrow.
Yeah.
Because the beating teams, they start with an F.
Serious foot.
I didn't think you'd...
Fungals, obviously.
I bet, I bet.
I know that setup from 3D Max.
I think it's supposed to sell that Gravity is just solo B
and they have a 4A setup
and then Misuta is sort of a joker
but maybe he plays a bit too early for that sort of a scenario.
isn't able to connect, and after that it's a really tough situation for 3D Max.
Tough one for Exocys as well.
If they are just going to God Flash and send them back 10th searching, it could be that,
oh, they're not even going to do that.
But it just goes searching forward, contact play,
hoping for a little jiggle from Exocys to give some sort of info safely.
Now we will see the CT smoke fire in, and it's just looking like a guaranteed
round unless Exocys does something inhuman.
Mag7 maybe good gun Zia's here with this
Oh nice tracking in the air
Oh and now the Mag7's activated
He has got him
Oh solid output for the Aces and he's there on the final one
Overwhelming
All the Synapses firing but he's left him in a good position
Backstab in through banana
And 3D Mags pick up the 4-spy
Welcome to the gym says exercease
Yes. Show them how it's done. Yeah, well, their courses all is going to spike after
that one for sure. Yeah. Oh, tea. How are we? It's it is maybe good. Maybe bad.
You solo B, gets his two, everyone else collapses, Blitz, you know, needed to hit a bullet there
if he wanted to have any chance of dealing with that overwhelming retake.
So 3D Max, yeah, why not, let's go.
Mongols immediately sent to the, well, it's not the Stone Age is it, because you've got
Tec-9s, or Kevlar, that's the Bronze Age, you've got like more than sharp sticks.
Not much better, but good enough.
it's not coughing baby or whatever it's something else instead it's tec-9s and a
lot of utils so it's there's a very good chance that they will just run at gravity
get the kill get the rifle take obviously 90 seconds to do all of this
and potentially plant the bomb
Grenades, no help for gravity, we'll declare him.
Techno does, confirms his presence, and big nade bounce, does find a nice trade from the
flame.
Great job from Misuta with that counter, incendiary, bought time for gravity, he would
They've just been dead outright. At least this week he gets one kill.
4v4 scenario. Still decent utility on the side of the Mongols. Now they're using time to their advantage,
creating uncertainty in the ranks of 3DMAX and they are going for a 3B gamble at the most terrible of timings.
Little do they know about that though and it's going to be all an exorcise again! Now on the A bomb site!
No mag 7.
Well the rifle will do as much.
Would do. Good grenade.
They come charging in. 10 seconds.
Oh, full blind. Still gets one.
It's going to be enough to keep you interested in the retake.
Back there fast to arrive.
Trends even right now in the regal.
A 9-10.
Oh, we're gonna walk it home!
Lugly there on the final attempt. Mongols with a reply.
Bronze Age fluctuating. Here we go!
They're revolving. Ole! Ole!
The Zynga!
Oh, all the catch raises.
The plow just cuts through so hard, guys.
Nice shot from 9-10.
Just on the fade, bonk. Absolutely loved it.
I like the fast run-in from 3D Max.
But after you get that first kill, that's where you maybe want to pump the brakes a little bit.
There's plenty of time to defuse the bomb with 3v2, the pressure is on them.
And your teammate along is smoked off, so I feel like there for just a couple of seconds they lost the team play aspect.
You know, if the long player would push through the smoke at the exact same time, perhaps you can trade out in the 3v2, but great bounce back from the Mongols.
and I don't mind in the end you know you can say well why are they going 3B in the
4E4 why are you doing guy yeah but they were just immediately clearing for info
and they pushed right behind them so in the end it worked out even though exorcism
didn't buy that much time and 3D Max was still in a good scenario and that's
important you can't just be out there sitting on B with three guys in the
4E4 that would have been bad but they were proactive still had a decent time
flank just couldn't clutch I like that we get a slight hairy yeah that's fair
there you go there it is straight just right there
so you're awake now honestly it's all good bro no I like that we're getting
all the impressions from the anchor today yeah he's done British she's done
wait till the Mongols game is over and I'm out of the woods all right long
We're out love to see it. You've got a lot of room
Just getting away through short
He's threatened to neither exorcise mag 7 doesn't I like it, but he's down great today
Yeah, drop that one off of the pool and yuck single-handedly keeping the French economy alive
It's a safe he's making the mag 7 look good
I don't even have on my lowdown you don't even cause it let me down too much like it is
50-50 it is the best gun or the worst gun
Yeah, you will point blank them for 16 damage and do that a couple of times and you go fuck this
Yeah, of course, but you've seen the kills. He's been getting one when it lands
Thanks, oh my god. This is a laser another one
Oh, about the first oranges to pull in the first time. That was a long range headshot.
100 damage. Yeah. Yeah. It can be crazy for sure. The jam shot is nice. I like the Nova.
Nova's underrated. Nova's underrated behind the game right now outside of the Otis sniper on
Cityside. Also faced opinion in my loadout. You two actually have a lot more in common than I
think you are. The thing you don't want to hear maybe is the org is actually pretty good.
If you have money or CT side, hit fire, certain maps, like Nuke, it goes far.
Is it a one bullet headshot up close?
Yes, it is. Underrated aspect. Spray is super easy. You can stroke in.
Fine, you don't really need to in most fights.
There's like maybe situations where it's nice.
Yeah, definitely can. Like, you know, if you're playing like a Zai Rua CT yard on Nuke, like...
You know when that drops corner on an UBIS A site where you're like peeking into a main
and you're right against the pillar, just that little pixel.
Dude, there are times.
There are times!
But...
You don't see much in UBIS.
I don't see much in UBIS at all.
Hmm, better avoid it.
Bro, honestly, my map pool has been for the last three days, well, you and me, Alex,
has been dust to Mirage Inferno, or...
What's the one variation in it?
It's like ancient instead of...
We got an ancient one.
One of the two.
Get overpassed in the phase game though.
Sometimes it's a little extra, we've got three hours worth of it.
What do you think?
That was enough.
That was all the overpass you needed.
Do we have a cache coming in?
Is it going to happen?
Surely, right?
I don't think anyone's going to pick it yet, but...
No, maybe not.
What's it replaced?
Not what do you want it to replace?
What does it actually...
Let's look at their recent logic, because they took train out.
So by that logic...
What's the least played map?
Yeah, some of it probably would be overpassed but they put so much effort into the re-making of it that I think they're kind of giving it time
I I'm still like leaving the pipe dream where I think maybe they will remove inferno finally keep a tactical map like overpassed
Not that inferno isn't tactical, but you know, it's yeah, but you want an old-school map that hasn't been out of the pool in a long time
Yanker doesn't like that
The old head's constant
I'm sorry. Yeah
I'm just really nervous
Both sit in front of the...
As long as they can remove Nuke.
Right.
No Nuke's not going to...
It's the only argument to remove Nuke is,
Oh, it's been in the pool a long time.
Yeah, because it's the best...
So is Mirage.
It's the best map of the whole game.
So...
I don't like this thing where they add train
and then after six months they take it out.
I think for the competitive scene it's not ideal.
I know they cater to the casuals too.
Like...
Also don't have to do that.
You can keep them slightly separate.
But whatever, I think...
I like the seasonal map changes.
I don't know about one every season, or two per year.
I think one every season.
Whenever I've asked that, you don't change it after a season.
So if the train was back, it had to be back for two or three seasons.
Yeah, okay.
Or do you like the idea that every season one map gets...
Yeah, but I remember what my idea was.
You have five vanilla maps that are always in the pool,
and then two maps are being rotated in and out all the time.
Oh, on top of the 5, you can have a change.
Yes.
Interesting.
I like that.
What are your 5?
Nuke, Dust, Mirage, Inferno.
Wow, at this point.
Ancient over Pasa.
I guess ancient.
What am I missing?
I guess ancient, maybe.
But it could be also 4 plus 3, I don't know.
Yeah, 3 might be a bit much.
I'd leave train over ancient, honestly.
But that's just me being a boomer
and have emotional attachment to train.
Ancient probably does more fun than the train.
Yeah, it's getting good.
The matter was evolving.
I didn't like Ancient that much anymore either.
I think it fell off.
Fell off?
Yeah.
It did like, oh, exorcise.
Oh yeah, take it, where you got him?
He's blocked it, and Max7 got him primed.
Yeah, he's in.
Dude, when he's having a good inferno game too,
I think he's so annoying on these T-sides.
He'll be like finding little gaps over the wards long.
Finding the gaps on CT's ass.
Yes.
Look at him go.
Hopefully a good sign of things to come.
What a nuisance he's become.
Oh, they should check out the way the cars have exercised.
Oh, they found him now.
So gravity primed.
Beautiful.
He can live.
That orb is in trouble.
Yeah, they've got 12 seconds.
They need to kill someone now.
OK, that should open up a plant.
He's not wanting to.
I know a rope.
Wait, a rope?
Hello?
Hello?
Oh lucky!
Open your eyes!
Open your eyes!
You can call Xerxes the mystery shopper because he's finding all the gaps.
I like it.
They're going from bad to worse.
They get what's possible.
I continue to surprise.
Mongols timeout, things must be real bad.
Yeah, since when Mara just oh he's not it's not it's a dialogue blitz and Mara having a conversation
Techno with a chip in
I think there's a lot of yes, sir for the players
That's a perfect camera, I think was in here somewhere
You know that scene in Harry Potter where they end up in like I don't know what it is, okay
It's like the big old train station, there's like the little clients Voldemort,
the little baby Voldemort, all shriveled up on a bench or something.
Yeah, oh, when he's in like a weird white suit.
Yeah, yeah, that's where it looks like Mazzinho is.
It does.
Wow.
It takes him explaining to get there, and I can't give it a name, like Purgatory.
Yeah, like the kind of the afterlife.
Popping baby Voldemort.
Yeah.
Poor cruxers.
Why was he a little baby? I don't remember. I can't remember.
Enko, you must know Enko and Harry Potter. He's in a pod.
Well, because they thought they killed him, but he wasn't really dead. He was just as weak as a baby.
Okay.
So he was holding on, nursing himself back to strength.
But not strong enough to be at the back of that dude's head anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know someone who knows this.
I need to
JK Simmons or
The books right?
Just kidding. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Can't win this one. Are you gonna try?
Oh no
They did two CT smokes. Oh
extra smoke we know what 910 would like to do for your pleasure
they're gonna go they're gonna go for a last second be here they won't have a
CT smoke by the time they go what they have to it's a little too easy to
a little too easy in general.
Blitz is gonna peace out.
Wow, Blitz saved.
Now that is uncommon.
Yeah, we've seen Timehouse, we've seen Saves.
I don't feel like Mongols are a terrible Inferno team,
but the one problem is I feel they're at their best
when they end rounds relatively quickly, right?
So by the one minute, around the one minute mark,
they're sort of going into the hit that they want to do
and the round is pretty much over like this.
slower style where it's like coming down to 20 seconds left and that's when
they're hitting the bomb site like this is just not Mongols identity and not
something that they're very good at but inferno just the nature of the map
extends these rounds it's hard to end rounds early unless you get like really
good reads and are hitting the weaker side all the time so it'd be
something that's hurting the Mongols on this T-side.
I also think they're a team that love a scrap,
love a fight, but this is a very punishing map
to overextend on.
Like I've seen them throw away some rough post plans
just from over peaking.
Unlucky.
Yeah, like you take an opportunity like that,
you know, good example in front of us here.
You take an opportunity and immediately
you're in this kind of uncomfortable four on five.
The roll of the dice hasn't worked out,
We are going to be seeing a bit of a structured brackets take flash does catch marker. So
It'll be trapped behind the smoke
like to swing
Choice to miss in library. Why would you want to go there? Yeah scared of a mits of paper?
Library back they go and they price everyone's dying on their own great observing catching all of that chaos
Oh, God!
Oh!
That's weird.
It's coped.
Exercise is laughing it off.
He's had a very fun game.
Yeah.
Yeah, he is having fun.
He's having a field day.
In his manner.
Man of the exorcist.
You know there's a wine cellar as well?
Oh, 100% great.
And it's a big one.
That's just his bedroom.
Yeah.
They're no longer called rooms, they're called chambers.
Oh yeah, okay. That's when you know you're in. Not a humble abode anymore.
Quite the opposite.
You think he's got a chamber of secrets in there?
Thanks for that.
Some of JK7's best ones.
Yeah.
Professor Squirrel.
People coming.
Gandel, Amani-Manger.
She was getting bit quite bit by the times.
What?
Peek.
Peek.
Heh.
Oh.
What?
That was a way. No, don't do that.
Maybe you shouldn't.
Maybe you can. Yeah.
Triple.
Woo-hoo-hoo! He's having another one!
I'm gonna preserve the eagle round
and come in as Mizzinho
with one of his own
Yonk!
Perhaps the gun
Thank you very much
And you know that
everyone on the Mongols wants this gun
They only want to don the AWP
Alright
Eagle round coming through
for the Mongols
They've won it
Let's see what you've got man
You're lying to yourself
if you're really thinking you're gonna give this a go
They've got money man
They can try man
He's got three A's, did he? Oh, we actually supposed to pronounce it Miss Uta.
We might have to if he wins this. Okay.
Miss Uta.
One versus three, one versus two.
He's not gonna put it off.
What a crazy round.
Cobra's era starts it and Missinho finishes it.
That's my MVP.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, you were right.
right there's a caliber of 100 more kills without death and he's got it some
great shots really max I mean did once again just kind of walk in also honestly
like yeah I mean where's a flash from XRCs for Makka to take that peak arch
player also maybe over committing with the fight oh it's been a while since I
I saw that G2 smoke burn in combination.
Molly forces the teammate and take no one escape,
but takes you to with him and spams you to smoke.
He's having one of those games, isn't he?
Everything's lining up.
Yeah, like your ratty risk always pays off,
your smoke's spammed, they're there.
Your mag seven, the mag seven one.
So yeah, yeah, the roll of the dice
every time on that, he hit.
I think I'm gonna practice my mag 7.
The XM is just a little too expensive.
I didn't know for a minute.
Hey, you didn't see that?
I'll say that it's cheaper.
This doesn't sound as scary.
It's when you hit him, it's so...
The pellet spread is so tight, so when you hit him in the head, you can't get the
body shot at the moment.
Okay.
You have to go to the head shot, but if you get the head shot, bang.
Okay, okay.
It's got some range to it as well.
Try it out.
Like CT-Nuke?
Yeah.
Yeah, well for the yard fight.
Yeah, garage, back garage usually.
Back garage.
I play with someone who buys the sword off and it sounds troll, but every round all he
does is go down vent on you, can just sword off people in it.
They're the old like snack smooth.
It shockingly works.
I didn't see on CT.
On no, on T, on T.
Like red bombing delayed and then waiting for the rotates.
These are the situations where a team play gets really tested.
We're playing retake B in a man advantage situation, and the players have the discipline
to play to contain coordination for the Atoll.
Who set up?
In a powerful position, 9-10, given a couple of chances to fire it off.
Loves the repeat.
Just fighting.
They are not backing down.
XCC's been playing a great game. Info jiggle, let's go.
Everything is going right for him, but Mizzinho on an aggro swing puts him to rest.
What is happening?
The Mongols in the lead.
Sure.
We all expected.
Anyone who's ever played retake when inferno knows how annoying it is to retake even there's a nop triple.
So hard especially if you don't have an incendiary or if Makka for example saved his incendiary for that position for the retake.
It would have been very nice where his teammates would die to the ops.
Yeah, he kind of tried to like force the plant to be in a different position by Molly and Fountain I think,
where underhand one towards like the default plant spot.
But you're right, probably I held more value if it was used on the retake itself.
Now you're forcing to this nasty situation.
situation. And XC is on fire. How does he get that? I feel like if Spirit played
Inferno this is what Donk would do. Yeah same level of confidence and
precision. No, Donk will be running up banana on 50 health every time.
It's probably why he doesn't like it. Good bit of info from the Makapush. If he just
stays there as well, I reckon they can do an educated gamble. No luck he's
still worried about apps pop. He might even catch 9 10 doing the util. Just gonna hide out.
Okay, play to contain. Pulsing them into the stag. Lucky's on his way. Double boost. It's
not going to work when the flash doesn't or the smoke doesn't land. They just collapse
that boost. Totem pole falls. Come on. And a missed denial. Significant damage through
the board. It's alive though. And repositions for the plant. Not looking good. Exes is
on the exit 910s trying to catch him I play the fade there's no way you're a
10 second defuser head of you'll be bringing that m4 through I guess
knackered would like to try and leave with a rifle
Exorcist 1?
It's a 1v1.
Nothing to lose.
Oh god, missed shot!
Oh my goodness, trick shoting right here!
What is this game?
I feel like Exorcist has way more than 13 kills.
Like 13 is way low of a number for a game he's been having.
No?
I mean yeah, one kill per round on average.
Not even, actually, what bit more than that?
The whole world, side of the desk of Christ!
Hi, month of life, that's the one to write.
Fuck off.
Your aim, Chad, has always been dog-shoot.
Beast, title and application process of D, not a clue.
It's choking his experience, police and soldiers near sea sports agents.
He's not happy with the f-
Oh, okay, for great.
He's going to Falcon's Town.
plenty of insiders have said this.
Welcome in, ladies and gentlemen.
We are into our second best of three here,
an extended break in between.
So hopefully you're enjoying the A stream side of things,
but now I'm sure you are back for this navi legacy matchup.
More of a qualification game here, I do believe,
game here. I do believe so. Not
waving goodbye to anyone just
yet in this matchup. It's not
quite as heartbreaking as the
previous, but still a lot on the
line here. You want to make
sure you get that qualification
stay away from the dreaded to
two zone, which can be really,
really scary. You know, going to
be some very good teams there,
of course. Um and looking
forward to this. Yeah,
exactly. Exactly. Looking
forward to this. So we've
got Navi on the docket. A
team that you know, I
really enjoy watching. Don't
legacy who have been very up and down so far this probably yeah first time for us that we get to cost
nobby this year as well so i'm looking forward to seeing what it looked like we got to casting a
couple of times on the tail end of the year with the iam some whatnot and it was kind of moments
of brilliance and awesome moments where you could see the the struggles and the question marks
around this side and for legacy they've had a bit of the both themselves right tail end of 2025
was fantastic a side looking honestly unbelievable we're back to back finals one of which being
win at CAC then at Bucharest, lost in the best of five to Aurora but still a really good showing
nonetheless and coming in towards this year it was a rough looking thing so we just didn't see legacy
playing to the level that they should have been they've made a change they've brought in art and
now we get a real clash of the minds of this is Alexia, a head to head has happened plenty of
times to be fair but not in recent history so this one it does get kind of interesting
over in the asian as well that mongols who you max game has gone one one loser of that
will be dropping in towards the 2-2.
Like we said, the 2-2 scary because either of those teams in the 2-2 is actually really precarious.
Alongside foot, tomorrow's action is going to be really spicy,
but we've got to see who will be going in towards the playoffs.
We'll be joining the likes of the spirits of the world.
Yeah, no, exactly. I mean, legacy, an interesting kind of run, you know,
as you say, the year not looking too great at the tournament, though.
It does really step up for them.
They start with a loss in stage one and maybe two foot, actually,
and then maybe we're like, hmm, I don't know how we feel about this,
but they are able to really quickly build themselves back up and looking pretty flawless. We caught them in this insane quadruple over time game against Aurora, the lesser, the better, but that was difficult for them.
I think they may be still at a point where they're going to struggle to punch up a little, and this is a game where you expect them to punch up.
We've got Navi on the other side of things, so going down to G2, I mean, kind of respectable is it maybe G2 are a hard team to read on paper?
Yes, I can see that happening. But again with the form coming into this tournament, you would question a result like that.
So I think Navi will be annoyed at themselves. They can't put it to bed and ultimately secure the 3-0 if you look at the other matchups.
Yeah, I mean the big thing is that the other two games that they play in Monty and Bay, they're not too much to take away from that.
Drop to map to Monty, which did kind of look quite concerning at one point as well.
They'd have to go down to the side there, Bay, spashed off pretty simply.
But it is kind of that case of where we look for it for Navi.
They haven't been testing that much by that G2 game. So it does become kind of spicy
We look in towards this one as well
And I had to head of course of the orpers heading in towards this game wonderful his form apparently be looking pretty damn good as well
It's always kind of a few question marks around him
By having you know recently been looking pretty damn sharp on the flip side as well
Why is rating doesn't paint that great of a picture? I've actually been impressed with Saturday
I think why and he's not running away in the numbers department because there's so many individuals like me do now
up crazy numbers. Nyssen's
up great as well. Sads in though
is impacted actually be pretty
good. I've been liking some of
the rounds that he individually
has been winning for this time.
I mean, super important. Yeah,
I would certainly say like it's
impactful, but for me, it's more
like the reliability. Yeah, let's
say rather than taking matters
into his own hands and you know
being the hero of a round. Um,
he has just been quite reliable,
you know, to find a kill in the
in the mid round maybe shoring up
the round, you know, somebody
else opens and then he's just
he's just trained on that angle with the orb hits his shot.
And it's like, okay, now it's a five versus three
and we can't really lose from it, you know?
So I think playing a relatively solid game there.
Wonderful on the other side of things, you know,
just to quickly touch on, I think,
change his hair off, now he can see a little bit better.
Maybe that's why he's playing better.
Good to see.
Yeah.
It helps, it really does help.
I got the map phone as well to bring you.
It's kind of the pretty easy kind of bands
that I've come through.
I knew this would band out here.
And then the picks, you know,
we've had a quite a few series so far
and probably where we've been critiquing
depth in the map pool. This is not the case for either of these two sides. There's plenty
of options of where they can lean here as well. If you need a legacy, they've got two
choices of where they want to go for Dust2 or Inferno. Either of them are fine. They can
even risk the overpass, but I personally wouldn't like it and probably won't even get towards
that veto. I don't think Navi are going to want to let that through. Flip side for
Navi, they've got that ancient. That's always been a very good map for them in
the pocket and that's one that I assume they'll go into. But if not, they don't
mind the Inferno themselves. They've got that nuke as well. So there is a lot
different variations. Yeah. This
map pool can go compared to even
like our previous series or quite
a few of the series you've had
on the on the beach stream where
there's one team that just do
not have the depth in the pool.
That's not the case here. Yeah,
when you kick it up a level, you
know, when you're in the top 10,
I think the difference can really,
really be felt in terms of vetoes
but we do now get into things
as yet. Nothing too spooky. I
mean, maybe could have floated
the Anubis out here, but they
do not decide to do that
overpass. Of course, getting
removed makes a lot of sense.
I mean, again, as you kind of know it, it's like the way you have to go for legacy.
But I think it's going to be a tough battle over there.
It is this pick for Navi.
What are they decided to do?
I'm actually going to move towards the Mirage rep game.
You know, maybe it's not super successful for them, but I'm sure if we look into that
and look into the results, it will be against bigger teams.
It will be against, you know, the best teams in the world this year.
And then as I decided, you maybe have ancient as the option now, given the way
that the banning hand out, right?
So, yeah, I think they can be kind of happy and indeed testing legacy on a map that they don't have too many official reps on this year
Yeah, exactly. It's quite a bold pick that mirage is more just because like you mentioned it's like for for Navi
They're in a bit of a weird spot with it only only a third of their matches won on that from 1233% win rate
It's not really where you want to be looking but like you said that you got legs in the flip side
I've only played this map twice
That's not always kind of a good thing around a map like Mirage, which is kind of quite a good litmus test
not even played at this tournament across either of the two stages last time they played it was back in January
against sharks and they lost 13 to 2 so that's been a while
They obviously made a lineup change since then so it's a slightly different look in the roster
I mean even still this could be a bit of a wild one as we look at that mirage
But it's kind of one of those where let me was sort of saying I feel like for me
Not be like getting that anxious inside there. I feel like they quote-unquote win the veto
that. Yeah, I would say so. I
would say so. Um I think we do
have a match up here, though of
like, can legacy bring that
level that they had last year.
I might have given them when
they were in like their heart
form a pretty good chance into
this one. Yeah, but it's
certainly difficult. Given the
way they've looked this year.
Um I think as well if I'm
kind of right in thinking
just to sort of check through.
you know, it's not like you've
got spirit or miles or, you
know, G two like these kind of
teams that are really quite
scary in stage two. You've got
one of the lesser teams at the
moment to deal with. They
couldn't beat them there
despite so many over times on
the crazy stuff. Um and then
you have Astralis Monty. So
this is the first sort of big,
big name that you wouldn't
expect them to be that you
wouldn't give them. And then
you expect them to be that
you wouldn't give them a good
chance against. And now we're
going to see whether you know
that gets answered or if they
can. I suppose surprises a
little. Yeah, I think it's
spot on as well, but it's
stretching here for a cross
both sides as well. Just
getting Lucen Limba before this
game gets underway basement
dollar Merck's in the
background as well. Credit
is a money knows ball. Money
knows drip. Um, but yeah,
this is this at all the
making speed quite a good
game and we want me to look
at legacy. They love another
time. They love going in
as well and not be if you want to play that game
They can absolutely bring it to you as well in terms of both of these eyes and more than happy to slow down the pace
So especially comparatively to our opening game of the day
This is going to be much slower in terms of the tempo coming through a real battle of the mines
But it's too far see different IGL philosophies
Hey, Alexi be who's you know this kind of percentage base tactical kind of master class
And you've got art who will love to and we will see it all the way throughout this is he flies into fights
It's somebody even call it inting at times, but he gains information and he makes calls based on that as well.
Yeah, that's what he likes to say as well.
Yeah, selfless leader is one way of putting a dying for the cause, maybe another.
It's not inting, it's tactically collecting information.
Yeah, that's what Stewie did for many years.
Surprising your opponent.
Yeah, but like nobody else did it.
So he had that advantage, you know, I don't know if you put prime Stewie into the game now,
With everyone having kind of knowledge of you know
It's a bit of a butterfly effect bear with me
But I don't know that story would have been quite as successful because everyone watches smokes a bit better
Well non prime story lifts at a trophy in Dallas. I love you know, so you know
He did his job. He came back for one tournament did his thing and then dipped again and
I don't argue with something from the skins
We just get this game on the way in just a second
I think it's probably set to say that the favourites on paper and probably for the both of us is Navi.
Yeah, like I'm leaning that way and realistically as well with this kind of with this veto.
I would even say that DOS too, if Navi take it, I think they could probably do it too.
I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is. I think it's a 2-0 every day of the week for Navi really with the way these maps have gone down again.
You know, if we open it up and break it.
Just say.
Rugger.
Oh my gosh.
Rugger.
I'm so sorry, baby. Don't listen to them.
Look at me play. I'm the captain now.
So he's like, why are you ordering like this?
That's not in our nutritional guidelines.
My love is spinning round Feels like I'm in the clouds, yeah
You're red dressing in a crown The sunlight on your crown
Down a strike, coming up This is what we're waiting for
Thank you patients on that one as we were just waiting to get into the game. Hopefully going to deliver here
I was making a hard case for Navi and the dust to victory
But we were interrupted by the surf and chill happens once in a while here on the counter strike network as it is
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I heard it all before listen mate must have been the one listen when they went to zero. All right. Who's gonna be laughing then?
Well, let's do zero now. I might not hear the end of it. Please
I'm feeling a three mappers. I'm gonna go the other way
I'm feeling three maps, but Navi still take it two to one. I think legacy matter this dust, too
I've seen some nice things some like it's gonna dust to
There's whether they play to the level that they can because we haven't even seen with this legacy side like
Every map is is vastly different in terms of the output
We're getting especially from players at Lato like when Lato's a great game
He's kind of unstoppable, but he can have really slow performances to all caught at the back of the pack
to get back is not going to
balance with the A site, but
it's nice to see no one's here.
They do have a kit available
though. They've got a couple.
They've got three flashes actually
to get back into certain areas
of the map. So I think they
were. Yes, indeed conceding a,
but they were quite prepared
for it. Flash comes over. Oh,
not quite able to find the
double killed him out. Meanwhile,
the edge of the smoke key
find from him. It doesn't
check his corners and he will
be punished down to just to
all of a sudden it started
And the USP's command on top in the FN series. No, they will be bested a legacy to find the pistol against the odds
And there it is. It's the dynamic duo as well of Dumar Lato to close out the pistol and this is good science for legacy
These are necessities really for them. If those two shine that's when all of you are gonna struggle a little bit
That's where they're gonna find is a bit more of a harder for DOS2
And especially because we still have what is definitely worth looking out for that CT side
I think this is incredibly proactive. He's really really fun to watch when he gets going. He's exciting and
There's a couple of different facets of firepower for them a very early
Time out there by legacy and it just seems like a just a cheeky do my massage break more than really any tactics to be
Gain from that one true. I'm a bit tense boss. Yeah, please
Please help. Oh
Cabbage they call that don't they yeah high five in the spud you hate to say
That's not you know, it's not good synergy and it's not
But it's all right the coach is not on the server he doesn't have to like yeah and use his hands and stuff so
He's not one of them. You know, that's why that's why he goes for the high five. That's it. That's it force by in a fort now
I've e
And been out from my car say
Okay, the pistols alongside it weed Eagles especially in the hands of bit. I can be very scary
Let's see, it's going to be a double stack towards B and pretty aggressive from Navi out
towards Long. Get that smoke down as well, we're going to relinquish that control. Carlos
they almost have to be first contact here. He has this board of the very scary bit on
the D but it doesn't look like the bomb is going to hand that direction anyway. It's
over towards loosely the A site and now it's just picked up. They can start in
their way forward.
Oh, clean. Big shot. Yeah, nice one to kick things off.
who is to be anchor on CT side. He does a lot of good lurking into tunnels like B is a very,
very strong position for him. We've caught legs here, things like that. This might be our third
time I'm pretty sure on Dust2. And every time we've caught Nysim on Dust2, I've been really impressed
with what I've seen. Not always running away in the numbers department, but the impact's great.
It's a wild move for my car, and it works.
Lion Eagle manages to find a key one, and now he's on the glale. He's looking to take
to his own hands does not quite catch that player on the edge of the smoke though, but he's moved forward, you know, so aggressively grabbed rather so much information is a break on the smoke. Wonderful for a one for one trade.
over here. They don't want to
go into him against that MP9.
They're going to pull back in the
two versus two. Lexi B over on
A then. 25 seconds. Captain is
going to have to stand very, very
strong here. Unsure of a long
presence. Obviously, here's one
coming in towards short
Molotov. Not good enough. Not
good enough. He's able to hang
around in this spot. All that
could be huge bomb plant coming
in. They're not ready for him
here. He's just trying to buy
time while he waits for his
look at this though. The player up on short is not expecting him at all. It's just too hard
of a shot to land. He must have found an AK. One versus two. Can he get this done? They're
going to buy into the next anyway. He's absolutely looking to move in for this, but he will have
his head taken off cleanly. It's close for Narvee, but not close enough.
Yeah. Nice by Sadsen. Really, really good impact from him. We've highlighted him. He
doesn't run away in the numbers department, but some of the rounds he has, he steps up
up in a big way. He just fell them out there. I mean that was expensive. For a fourth by
Navi you've put a lot of pressure on there. It's very easy to fall apart, but it doesn't.
So, two and out. A real bye. More the next round either. So the third should come. More
less than three. Just making sure around of this you don't lose more than like one player.
You can afford the one catch. The anything more is that's where Navi can take a little
the happiness away from it like all that for example it's all bleeding tech nine
that he gets so for goodness sake yeah barely enough we are very clever about
the hinting you see all the mind games it's like I got a kill on top now I've
got good ways of tech nine it's not one of those classes what is this way I do
it people like empty the clip and then drop on the ground yeah yeah yeah that's
all in a nutshell nice Dean gonna dive around the corner do mouth for a double
Cracks open the B site
Lovely work from him just shutting down what was left of those B defenses as bomb gets planted
Nothing really that RV can do in a spot like this. I think they're gonna shut up and say they don't really want to give away too much
Kill bonus, they know they can't pull off the retake
That and the rex it's to be found for the Mac 10 just about by Nysim
The rex shirt money in the back pocket though
It's also what you're talking about in low elo because they have the auto swap on oh, it's true
Because you still like auto pick up guns, auto swap on pick up or whatever it's called.
Remember whenever you play like if you go to like a LAN cafe and you kind of have like
default CS that's one of the first changes that you forget to make and then you know
it happens once and it will cost you and then it's the most tilting thing ever. Indeed.
Shout out to the homies who still have auto attack on and the movers as well.
I don't know what that means but I'm just shouting them out one time you know.
What is anyone out there? Auto attack. So it's like you know you got the creeps and stuff
And you can... You know the little fellas? You played like one game. You know the little fellas?
Is it like the bots in bot lane or whatever?
Yeah, it's like the little guys that attack each other and you're trying to kill them to get gold.
Okay, yeah. Roughly, yeah.
You probably had it on in the couple games or whatever that you told me you played.
But um...
Couple? One.
It's like...
One and done, never touch a leader.
Your character like auto hits things unless you turn it off.
Oh!
And sometimes that can get in the way of trying to chase a guy down or you know whatever it may be.
Okay, similar as having the auto
Swap on pick up on this right a combo. Okay. It's like a kind of a noob friendly
Yeah, well, this is it right play the game for you a tiny bit, but it can actually be a problem later down. Yeah, right
Hopefully no one in this game has got anything like that turned on you would hope
As you can tell I don't play any movers. Yeah, you got shot might one time though. They do exist
Yeah, and as we know a lot of pro players like playing don't a two instead of playing counter-strike
So it's true. It seems to me they're all kind of comfort come to the game that and water walk off
Yeah, of course these competitive type games that are not quite the same level of stakes
But yeah, I think a while but it's it's just there's too much going on. Wow is a second job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
It's real energy get home from your nine to five and then your five to eleven is wow
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I call me both of that
Yeah, get me on all craters when I was at uni and you know, you're basically unemployed. Yeah, especially if you don't go to your lectures like me
It's a good game, but you know when you got like a wife and kids and stuff. Yeah, thank you
Yeah, like me many many
Don't tell them but yeah
Good fun though
No expansion just dropped so shout out while one time
We've got that all the games, I guess.
We've got that all the games.
Dumal, holding his lower push.
Jose, how quick is the reaction?
He does get some damage off, but he was just so low on my car there
that winning that was unlikely.
The flash is fantastic, but they don't capitalise upon it.
Alexi tries to get round that corner of a car,
and wonderful is now in the flames.
He ticks down to 14 points of HP.
First full investment's not looking too favourable
for Navi at the moment.
45 seconds to work with.
That's the right idea. Right find as well.
Down goes wonderful. Long is open.
They don't even need to commit to this.
They still got time to rotate if they want.
But at this point, you've already got a couple of kills. Why not?
There's a lot coming in here.
I mean, they're obviously playing mind games.
It's like, oh, maybe we're not committing.
Maybe we're going to be.
There's like so much damage done.
So just don't feel confident when you throw that smoke down
and you have M4s and whatnot spamming at you.
You know, the chances of them picking up a kill here or two is actually quite high.
Yeah, are you coming in for the AWP? Oh my goodness, I played just made it around before anyone else is able to join him.
It can't capitalize on the damage. It's well played by Legacy here. Just putting a pause on it.
And indeed, playing those mind games, what are we doing? Are we going back? Are we sticking around?
Are you going to pull off some aggression? Obviously, the AWP gets gifted a kill as well,
which then convinces them more to go A than B.
But like I say, they just want to keep the CTs guessing
So they don't get safely spammed down through any smokes that may get destroyed.
Oh, save. They're gonna be denied. I think they're after Alexei on this orb now as well.
Why wouldn't you, right? You know that you can afford to lose a couple.
Give it a little search.
Got a bit of time on the bomb as well.
I love smokes to try and get you out of doors, but they can just overwhelm here.
They can wrap and trade. You can try and hide in the smoke.
Sneaky-peaky-like. He's hiding in plain sight.
Where is he?
They're not going to fight.
Oh, that's Peter soon.
That's exciting.
Of course it's not.
He knows, man.
He knows the cheese.
Can't beat me in my games.
All knowledge from art.
Nice work.
Great hunt as well, though.
It has to be said.
I think I love that ball.
You're taking so much damage.
You're going to fall to risk a couple of the Galeons.
If they fall, it's not the end of the world.
I can say nothing gained.
Legacy, floor and art.
the gate soon to most likely be 5 an hour as well considering that now we do not have to find answers to work with and
Lato open things up
Legacy look honestly really quite clean at the moment
Yep very very impressive
Of you has yet to really give us anything to get too excited about
Close in one of the rounds, but here's about it
should be able to see this one off as well with the early kill coming in for
Lato and Legacy. Once again can just hold things together. Reagress long here
though. First fight, unsuccessful. Second, better. Just take a tag, wonderful gonna
try and dip away, flash around the corner as well. They know he's not
in towards pit, they know he's around the corner. Wonderful takes a hopeful fade
away but it's off to be Lato. Three kills already for him against the low
by CT smoke for the cross as well that scout will round the corner on the
spotter as well saddened nice work another one we speak about his impact right
just he's got these small little pockets of information that he works so well
with Kazi on the dig here's him coming or here's one coming at least try to
find out where he is Lato gonna take him off though 4k landing for Lato so
There you go. There's your player that you want playing well, that you mentioned at the start.
Yeah.
If this guy is able to shoot and match up, he really is in a strong position,
and that's looking to be the case at the moment.
It's always a really good sign for legacy.
Like, he's feeling really up for it and really alive.
Like, it gives him so much.
Because, Dumar, we always expect numbers from him.
Sadzen is pretty good in terms of his consistency as well.
Nismaz is flashing a brilliance here and there.
But, yeah, that's a really flying.
That's when you start to feel really comfortable about what you're producing here.
When Speaker of the Devil, he shall arise, latter will open things up.
Emma, dead to rights there on the short swing, through the flames.
Love that! It's so confident right now. Legacy.
This is a real brazen style of counter-trade, which is what we've come to expect with R,
but it's working wonderfully.
Navi, he can't seem to compare against the pace, but, uh...
Nice shot from WandaForg, give him credit.
Indeed it is.
Maybe a way back in for Navi will find out.
This is where legacy have to be careful. They've been, you know, moving back, resting on there.
Heels a little bit in situations where they find like an opening kill and they're the
ones making the first bit of noise. But now that it's become even, they just need to
be very, very weary here. Towards A they will go. They seem to find wonderful. Molly
is great. I'm good. Alexi B can't do anything about it. Down to a four versus
two here. There's still Macaulay to help defend. Interesting smoke. Yeah, not quite sure where
that was supposed to end up. Probably on the site, but it's been overshot to say the
least. A little strong on the throw lads. Oh, nice.
Signing the gym. And then bit is just nowhere near to help out here. So looking good. Six
rounds in a row from legacy. Navi has yet to crack the code. This is a great showing.
It will save that AWP if you can, that is.
There's a late look for the hunt from Nyssen.
Only the extremities of Tunnel.
Oh my bit, you could be walking into a dangerous position.
Nyssen, he slow peeks, he could lose his life, but he does anyway and he wins it.
Quick headshot.
Another round where there's nothing to say, and nothing gained from Navi.
This is a real statement of a T-Sci by Legacy.
Very pacey rounds here, they're moving as a unit, so effectively.
And that answers the usual's excellent too.
6-0 and back into another low-bi for an RV.
I guess he should be getting a 7-0 star here.
What a leg on Macaulay.
Yeah, just all too consistent with those.
So that's just got a twice in a row now.
A kill, a couple rounds ago.
I'm looking too easy, Deagle shot misses, MP9 chimes in.
Is there support to join here?
It's the big question, Mikaze, not going to happen for him.
T'Lato again, open of the bomb site, the bomb in no rush to go down, and the CT's going
to try and abuse that actually as they move through the smokes here.
There's too many targets to be dealing with.
T'Lato and Dumar, the dynamic duo closing that one out, seven in a row now.
How long is this going to go on?
the navi timeout to try and recover things just falling well not even falling apart because
that suggests the fact that you have to like build something yeah that's something initially
yeah yeah so they're still on the ground level trying to figure out how you make concrete
you know the sand in the water and then you know who brought the stirring stick it seems
like nobody remembered that part they do take a timeout here at least they've heard that
What do I do with this wrench exactly? There's a gun to need a wrench to build the foundation. That's it. That's it
7-0 legacy. They're looking great
Lato's flying, which is great. But this in me is doing so much damage
I mean he's leading in terms of ADR or wars up until that round do now still yet to die
I know as well for him and sad things have an incredible impact in his own regard
I mean, this is so much to love at the moment all the stars are shining and while
Well, our individually isn't doing much.
He knows his role at the moment, like on the seaside,
going first dive for the team, basically.
And it's working, like, you know,
people want to critique the int, but it's working.
And he saw it in that row.
Diving towards B.
Art dives out first, he draws the attention away
and then allows the stars to shine.
Eight and 0 for Sads, and eight and 0 for Dumas.
Seven and two for Nistin, nine and two for Lato.
A lovely showing, lovely showing from Legacy.
Lato sees the nade and he invites it in
he goes through and they'll take long control very quickly going to put pressure on immediately
pick cleared close cleared and soon car to be mollied out as well so immediate long control
was still one minute 30 on the clock. So what's the figure here right like how do you get back
into them I think one of the key things they're all together a lot of the time they're also
very set you know it's like stop flash peak there's not a lot of rushing going on so
maybe getting in the face and disrupting them is the way to do it they do that
with the opening made. They break
things open here and actually
drop a key player in terms of
that bomb carrier. But moving
through smoke trying to catch
them with needs in hand. It's just
not quite worked out. I like the
idea. Maybe too disjointed from
Navi too far the other way.
It's not quite worked there. You
know if they take this time out
and figured out a bit earlier on
these changes to have incremental success and then maybe you finally get around but by the time that happens it's gonna be like 9-1
Yeah, yeah, you're right
In my family on the board as well. Oh and six up until that point bit was oh and six until the previous round
Eight oh star for legacy
Satsen and Dumau both still yet to die as well now I know the Satsen 10 and over Dumau
another round as well we'll ask the first to fall but who cares same thing it's it's worth
it's what I now own four for him an opening tools but he was carrying the bomb and everything
they still manage to win I just I don't know what to say there's such a battering ram at
moment. Whoever they go they just overwhelm in numbers. It's very basic utility as well,
there's nothing kind of new in terms of the U-Tour throne but it's really effective.
It's fun to watch, it's really what we want to be seeing from the side.
You know Legacy have this ceiling of where they can play like this but
it's kind of a combination of two factors of Legacy playing at their best at the moment
and looking really really effective and the other side of Na'Vi playing at kind of what
seems like their worst. Really not on their game.
Oh
Triple boost okay, don't see this too often cooking
It'll be when you're a while I don't think there's any you're so slight. Maybe it's a smoke goes down
Yeah, the issue of the strip was always sliding so you're eventually always falling off and they make a lot of noise doing that
It was drawing a peak eventually. I mean that was the idea of the boost
They're not able to do anything off the back of it
Just back in the way. I don't think they rightly know what's on the other side of these choke points, right? What?
weapons what?
Utility yeah, they don't need to commit either. They've got plenty of time
We've just gone to the minute mark right they've got so much time to reset the round and also so much utility to go wherever they want
That seems like it's back to a the first fight is probably the most important though. You can clear Alexey cleanly off this corner
A site becomes immediately quite vulnerable. You can't really flash for this
Gonna try yeah, he'll avoid that one if you flash for the door they get him, but
One going over is not gonna do too much. We get traded by art. No
Oh, and what if we're gonna get another one legs got three now
It's all on the shoulders of this and he dives into CT and tries to catch one knife on he eventually does get it
15 seconds and a one versus three, he can't win the round.
He's going to try and make it expensive if he can't, but even that's a big ask.
He's running out of ammo.
Of course that seems alright.
They're not even just giving him the peaks here though, really, really playing it safe.
And indeed, they will save three in the end, so not only winning the round, they win it with good money.
Just putting the fair a little bit, that's Navi's first kind of dominant showing.
it does come off the back of a
you could argue is a 50-50 decision
I flashed a design for the left-hand side
yeah
which is where they look first
they went for the one designed for the right-hand side
they probably
trade a lexie bee
he might have still got one
but obviously not the world in which we live
we'll see you don't Navi
with some individuality
some morale boosting maybe
because we want to see these players just go for the
the chance spam
off the back of those nades
so many times it might be able to get away with it
Timing elbow spotted.
I think that may well have been an awkward team flash coming in from somewhere.
It's hard to tell.
Nonetheless, wonderful able to find it and him getting in the face.
This is what I was talking about.
Disrupt the early round.
Make life awkward for legacy.
Didn't work the first time they tried it, but it is working here.
Wonderful taken.
Down next to the molly.
He will react in time as he avoids the flash.
Nice work from him.
With wonderful lineup, ticked down very low to the flames,
but it's a two versus four.
Na'Vi can recover to get 4 rounds out of this half. It's absolutely still on.
Lexi going searching for some info.
A site itself is open. They've double stacked long.
Lexi and Emma are in this position and Emma's very, very low.
He can't afford to fight on his own.
The bomb will go down. You most probably part for short here as well.
Say that. I say that.
That's a risk.
I don't like the way these look man, you know when you've got all these players separated like this
That's a healthy player one of the suit. I've seen many
Setups of a CT side go south two versus X two versus five two versus four
Smoke goes down two of them coming in from short. They've cleared out CT now good information gather from Nysim
Here's one over at short gonna discover. There's another over there as well
So lots of him going to work with the one key problem
They've looked away from long at the worst time he now starts closing the gap. It's all over on this him
I couldn't win his fight. It's close on the bomb though. Wait a minute. I
Think they should have it but this is awfully close. Oh, my yeah really all the way down to the wire
But if our finds one in that situation, I think it's a very very different round
They make me nervous the CT side. They make me nervous there. Yeah, that is a lot of cost for the retake
Thank God they get it, but good effort in all fairness by Legacy. Not a bad attempt.
Oh my God, there was not a lot of time on that.
Oh, you had to stay alive for a little bit longer on that corner.
It would have been too scared to really stick that defuse, but a game of small margins.
It's wonderful.
The winter was long, the abounding and close.
It's a great flash from Salton.
He gives Lato an absolute sitter to open things up and once again these early-long controllers something
They're so damn good with short presence this time for one looks for two and he'll get it actually before falling
Great effort from this in two versus four, but it's on the other side now
It's the T's with the numbers advantage than working their way in towards the A site flank being accounted for by sadson shoulder
spotted shot delivered all on bit one V4 turn one versus three is he jumps up on
and he'll lose his life for it.
What a response from legacy.
They lock in nine.
And this is what I'm saying.
I think they have sort of figured out a little bit of what they've got to do.
And now it's, you know, the counter to the counter and everything that they're dealing with.
There's just not enough rounds to work with.
I think it comes far too late.
You know, it's 7, 0, 8, 0, mind you, before they managed to get around back,
before they managed to look competitive.
It was 7, 0.
I think that's why it's in my head.
7, 0 after the timeout.
you know, you know, you know,
you know, you know, you felt a
shift in strategy in tactics
from Nabi maybe the overall
strategy, actually. And it
didn't quite work. You could
see they were trying something
and maybe it would work eventually,
but there's just not enough room.
They have no margin for error.
You make some errors in that one.
Maybe you just spawn based, you
know, like wonderful thinking
you get there faster. Not
how the way it goes to kick
I think the shift needed to come in at like five zero to be honest with you and it's cost
an RV so it's going to be a hard run back in the second half question is do legacy get
double digits before the turn off said half in that fact on top of each other with wonderful
here or his first contact staying on that corner satsang had the right idea but Lato
goes ahead of the pack a little bit and loses life for it. It's fine by him he gets one doesn't take a
point of damage and he'll just tuck himself back into safety.
Genuine proper test for legacy feels like maybe the only round that we've had this.
It's good clear clean entry for Navi.
Funny business going down looking very very doable.
It's still going to move in from short, XCB at Goose, he's got wonderful to cover him
though and well that AWP is surely going to be deadly.
XCB did he spot the player hanging around on the edge of this smoke looking to maybe dive
in, he's playing their cards right, it doesn't matter they come to him, he finds the double
Sadson's Tech 9, takes a couple heads but that's all he will get.
9-3 is not totally out of the question, it's certainly a recovery of sorts given
the way that things were looking we were worried about maybe the 13-0 coming in. They deny that they
fight back a little but the T side has to be immaculate for quite some time if they are to take legacies to us too.
I
Welcome back, Ian. What a showing coming through from Legacy. A statement to start
start their map pick of Dust 2, 93 at the half. Simply not good enough for Navi and took
them way too long to get online. But we've seen plenty of times. Three rounds in some
situations can be enough, but quite a few things have got to go right for Navi. A pistol,
the force to follow. First couple of gun rounds, then we can entertain that conversation.
But at the moment, Legacy look on track to start this series really well.
It is true. Legacy kind of the overtime merchants, Nysim though not messing around, kind of getting
more from this position. All the flash comes in, blinds up quite a few. There's a lot more
round that corner than they were expecting. And now the CTs putting real, real pressure
on in towards middle, getting that smoke down, looking to just flatten them here, Lato.
Secures the round for my money. It's going to be a Lexi V1 versus four. He's got
bomb that's about all he's got going for him. Yeah. I thought he
asked second kill, by the way. Yeah. First round of the second
half. Who cares if you're winning what's about to be 10
three, right? I guess that his job is not to be the numbers
guys to be the winning guy. You're real. You love this art guy.
You know, you might have been the one voice in like 2022
that was still so fighting for art. It's just so fun. He's
so fun to watch like half the time. It's for the wrong
reasons. I mean, yeah, the thing is I value entertainment above all.
Okay, at the moment, he's fun. He's entertaining. That's right. And then you're going to start
believing in legacy. And then they're going to be 93 up against Navi. Not here, obviously,
but they're going to be like the semi semifinal of the major. You know, they're going to
be in a one before and they're going to over fight against. Yeah, right. We'll see
you here will see and then he's gonna stop I'm saying it will legitimately happen
it's gonna be like the semi-final and you're gonna watch him on like overpass
yeah you know which is a real pick-based map sending sending sending dying not
stopping dying dying don't just like free kill every round thank you very much
you like brilliant you know there goes my my fun guy my favorite team or I
love watching legacy they're so fun but you think about it doesn't win
championships now if you put are on like the IGL role on fantasy or like the
Nuba role you guarantee points neither one of them it's like legacy are winning
and he's always at the bottom of school board so like and you don't actually
care about legacy winning you care about your fantasy yeah yeah no precisely
not exactly that the truth and my and reveals itself I'm not saying it's
fun it's gonna get less fun no no but when I see him costing them games
No, no you you're reading this wrong because you're thinking of this as like I'm some sort of legacy fan
I don't care. They win or lose. He's fun in both scenarios if they're losing and he's flying in it's funny
Still still gonna frustrate you. I think no, you're so incorrect. I whether back when he was it was fun
When he was on furia and it was costing them every game because I have no I'm no skin in the game
I suppose I'm watching for the entertainment. It's entertaining watching a guy, you know
So, what's it like, Sisyphus on the rock going up the hill?
Say it again?
Is that his name?
Like, is that his name?
Sisyphus or something like that?
What's his bloody name?
Sisyphus?
Oh, it's enough.
It's Greek in it.
Ah, sorry.
I'll leave it.
I'll make you say it again.
That's cruel enough, I think.
But yeah, no, he is.
Yeah.
He is Sisyphus up the rock, you know?
But one, must imagine Sisyphus happy.
That's the real...
real philosophy.
Is he ever happy?
That's the real philosophy.
Well, you don't know.
You don't know, but he has a purpose.
He has something to do in life.
I thought the whole thing was that it was like
a punishment.
The gods punished it, yeah.
But is it, this is the third level philosophy
or whatever, you know?
Yeah.
Is it a punishment?
Cause he's got like a purpose
and maybe he believes that what he's doing
is for the greater good.
And that's why they have given him this job
only he can do yeah that's the real philosophy my guy this sounds like this
sounds like there's a tree make noise if no one's around yeah but that's that's
really that's real philosophy you know it's rather jazz and philosophy or don't
just know no wrong notes that's me in my bag yeah yeah there's no one knows
All right, big Sisyphus energy for Navi here, unfortunately.
Big force by losing energy right now as well.
Double Galeon on AK and actually pretty limited utility.
It's actually kind of difficult here.
Oh, SAD's in an interesting decision to over-fight a bit there.
Back into 3 vs 3, Nissen's pretty low.
And also no way near this site.
this site. A site itself is open. Potentially legacy might just save it. Yeah. I think especially
as that bomb goes down in a second, which it will get for free. I feel like for the AK
and the M4, Lato and this thing, yeah, they just overspend their resources to get the
man advantage, right?
For art, though, love of the game. Obviously we're going to fight here. It's not a rifle.
And you know, a normal person would be saving probably in a spot like this, but a cultured
man like oh I want to give this a look in and why wouldn't you maybe maybe he has been forced by some kind of
You know deal with the devil to get back into a high level counter strike team that he has to yeah in all the time
He has to he has to play every round. He has to watch every round. Come on my king. Wait a minute. We print
The devil you've done the deity that looks down
upon you favorably. Oh my god. Give him a high five for me. Beautiful, bountiful for
art. Two kills up until that point. Two in the round to bring them back into it. A normal
team would save the legacy off far from what a fumble. Never doubt my sweet, sweet prince.
unbelievably had one kill last half.
You've let him do that to you.
Hahaha!
Hahaha!
God.
Are you not entertained?
Well, indeed!
That's why I watch.
No, it is true.
Are you not entertained?
It is true, yes.
Legacy, they always bring it,
whether it's for better or for worse,
that's why I watch Counter-Strike, entertainment.
It gives us something to work with in an 11-3 game, you know?
So, bare play.
Don't get me wrong.
I get, you know, lots of value and entertainment
from a bit of a Donk Master class
Showing out mechanically, you know, skilled ears, but I also do get entertainment from these, you know
These sort of games and these sort of decisions in a sense. Yeah, just different kinds of cinema
You know donkeys the godfather art is sharknado, you know, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, enjoyable in their own little way
In that we'll find this and what was all the one shot native versus something, you know the one
All right, it was like it was like the
It was like shot native to the third one was like sharknado versus
Like I want to say like a Megalodon or something like that. I mean maybe the problem is I'm a snob so you would never catch me dead watching sharknado mates
To be honest with you
Oh, yeah
This is giant octopus, there's a whole versus universe of sharknado
You can't be serious. Did I just say sharknado versus polar vortex?
I'm telling you, us cultured viewers here on the B stream. We know what's up
Yeah, no way. This is actually a movie that must be a fan made
Because it's like a pool of vortexes like polar bears in them
But this is this is them shadow boxing the shark nado against would win animal-based weather
phenomenon
Anyway, no, we're winning around here guys. Sorry about that time
Art will fall as well
And in that he's looking for a little hunt here. I
I don't think it's really worth it.
I mean, he's got a little, so I guess it's one of those
where potentially grab a little look in,
but it's not his real life for now.
The chance to get back in towards this game is next to none.
It's for a shark, maybe it peeps into the past,
but that's a pretty good round put together by them.
Some overfights, really, from legacy.
I think they may be the hit 12, and, you know, in classic...
It's a 12-3 score line.
Yeah, classic Counter-Strike energy,
where you, like, you hit the map point,
And then you take your foot off the gas,
and you think you can just kind of coast over the line.
More often than not, that's not the case.
More often than not, if anything,
you actually need to lock in a little bit more.
When you're in 12.
Let's see.
A free day, you know?
Like, there's no hard call,
there's no discipline required.
See what you can get away with,
see if you can go find a clip or something.
Yep.
Doesn't happen for them,
so now maybe they will indeed lock in, as you say.
Early utils are right here, though,
because they tag down to just above half.
And a deep CT smoke as well to slow the roll out of long.
Now kept to bay, he will find the gap on that molly.
But for a second he's going to swing through, which would have been a real bold choice.
But again, not out of the wheelhouse of the legacy side.
But the bottom's going back to B, and for a second it's getting very wide.
Nissen was pushing. He got just behind that smoke.
He looked like he was going to go through, which easily cost him the round.
But there is the chance of the pincer here. Nissen's up close,
You can see now as well, Lato scaling, Lato's going to get around the corner.
At least one tree dead to right then.
This one will get one of his own as well.
Wonderful spot in and dropped, but McCarty's got a double to entry in.
Bit, bomb on his back, McCarty up close!
Going to get another.
Lato should be getting him every day of the week, because he's 16 points of HP.
But it's not to be.
Two versus two on the retake.
Yeah, still definitely doable here as Satin creeping through Dumau.
Satin that smoke, which should be going down surely.
Bombs going to get plants and Satin making loads of noise.
Hummau's gone early!
Still catches Mikaze though who need in hand. How have they gotten away with that?
Unbelievable. Navi just never in that game.
Heads not in it, hearts not in it maybe.
But Dust2 does not get going and a lot of questions now going to be raised if they're moving into map 2.
That's what happens when you're caught in the art nadir, right?
It really does do kind of wonders to the mind.
And what are showing as well from this legacy side?
I knew they'd get a map, I had the belief, maybe some disbelief at times, but they are
just such a wild and wacky brand of Counter-Strike.
Not only did he not wake up, but by the time they did, it was too little, too late as well.
What a showing coming through from them.
Kickstart this series, and as we head into a break, there's no better time, of course,
to submit some mail over at DHLmailbag at efg.gg.
Any good ones that come through, make sure the tag of course is the B-stream,
We'll have a little read through them as well into what even potentially could be our final map coming up next before we get there though
It's gonna be Raj the pick of Navi to come up with a break before we get there
No chance, all done!
Now I said day one of stage two that I thought this would happen with phase I said oh two
down embarrassing losses reverse sweep yeah it's the phase way I want to draw attention
Okay stare is doing the MC
He's fully coat the pistol. Okay. He's buying foods in the open rounds, right? Okay. Yeah, ready. Yes
We talked about this on the show. He needs one kill in these two rounds in order to get enough money to be
5400 there it is he can now to wait they can win this
Oh my god, they are winning this. 2v4! Disaster! Second round on them. Oh my goodness. How did
they win that? I don't know if they know how they've won that. I mean, the kills come through,
the 10 second fuse. Alright, give me FaZe voice comms now. FaZe YouTube video coming
out how we trolled the pistol round. Yeah, he caps. Crazy.
Oh, all right.
Ka-boom. Ka-plow. Ka-boom.
Nice fucking eco, we go. Oh, my God, you come fast.
See, Harold, what's that, Dennis? It's a little 7-7, yeah.
Like a sprout. Second round orb.
You're not ready for this. He did it. He dropped it over.
I do hate it though, so he doesn't have head arc.
And then he's going to get run out by Garagin.
Get away! Get away! Get away!
It's close! It's perfect! It's perfect position!
It's behind first!
How did he get better? How did he do that?
Hooksy's act bad?
I don't even know if that, like, Vant has hooksy imagined it.
I think he wants to block the exit and has a player to be able to get past him.
Yeah.
One through, only to shoot him in the back of the head.
Well, the pistol and its second round have already looked like a Stralis I've got, you know,
a little bit of special power.
Hey, come back.
He killed Frozen first, who was still in the small town.
That's gnarly.
I feel like I know what I did.
It's full lucky, but it's not a thing.
Yeah, now look who's he gets the hell it so
All good in the hood back
Harry did you grow up in the hood or in the suburbs? Ah the suburbs of course you did
Do I see a ladder like I heard them
you know in the hood or the suburb yes it was quite at the Lord of Kent here
oh wow everything's just coming up Australia smoke span through the doors
Your Digos aren't going to have too much luck on your searches and you get two chances on
T-Abby, but he had the perfect, rassy angle, but it's kind of getting this flushed away.
Watch out for the Wrangles.
We were talking about the other day when we had the G2 Navi game on.
This was two years ago.
This would be really exciting, you know, and if this was nine years ago, same thing.
I didn't smile around when Hugo did his first TSL event.
Yeah, wow.
The history.
As the talent manager for New York.
I casted that.
Do you know who I casted that with, Alex?
You or Nelle Penen?
You or Nelle Penen?
Well, that sounds Swedish.
Yeah, I went in.
You or Nelle Penen.
That's good.
Yeah, that was good.
That actually was good.
Where was Harry?
He hadn't made it yet.
Yeah, I hadn't made it yet.
He hadn't made it yet.
Yeah, I hadn't made it yet.
You were making it.
They wanted Hugo, not me.
Classic.
Oh, you know.
The better guy won.
You said that.
I had to wait till the other thing happened,
since they get Marja.
Yeah, someone eventually self-destructed
in an opening with a talent scene.
That's how it goes.
18 months.
Which you another one soon, I reckon.
Oh, it's gonna be that's that Chad public crash out
We're dead pool for it
All right, then I will retake but I'm going swimmingly here
drowning me maybe
That was a ballsy call from Kerrigan being in the first gun round being three zero down. Just a B rush
Hey
Exits it works. It works wonders
Yeah, let me show you the door.
Wow.
How do I change the song on my head?
How do I change?
Playing a new one.
Okay.
I'd like to shuffle someone's house.
It's just random.
Yeah.
Xbox off.
We were playing a game where it has like cross player.
There was some guy who was just the worst human being on an Xbox and it shows you and we just kept yelling Xbox on
Xbox off and then he disconnected from the game and came back like two rounds later
Oh, it's so good
It's a death but recommend trying that you have any adversaries on the Xbox
No one's in a position to throw the flash
No, they've actually let new flashes for this, trying to avoid any existence like earlier.
But they don't even throw one, Karrigan takes the fight straight up, but a B-pop looms.
This is a real ready.
And that's a shut down, a mow down of the B-hit.
I never peeked as well, I just knew he wouldn't be cleared.
That was a limp pop, I will say.
That's a POP.
That's a poster.
Limp pop.
Sounds like a soundcloud rapper.
Yeah, limp pop.
Little limp.
Little limp.
Little limp.
Are you ready?
You get on purpose.
Right.
Are we?
Are you?
No, but sometimes the good line-ups are accidental.
By the way, I'm desperately trying not to say his name because we say it differently.
What?
Ryu.
Real?
See, I said Ryu and then JL cracked him, he said Ryu.
But that's...
Yeah, we spoke...
I don't think it's the accent thing.
We spoke to him.
And Jason spoke to him.
And he said he didn't care.
No, he said Ryu.
What?
That's crazy.
That's JL lying to me.
Yeah, JL said that...
There wasn't a lot going on for him that time.
Jail said that Ryu said to him to pronounce it Ryu.
Yes, that's what he said.
Okay.
But, all the years, man, they don't know what they want.
Who do you trust more, Jail or Jayce Moses?
I didn't speak to Ryu slash Ryu.
I mean, I don't think it matters.
I think you can say however you want.
I think it means...
I'm saying Ryu for 2.20.
Yeah, then do it.
It's just my brain can't do that.
Because I didn't know the fighting game character and most of the words that start with RY
sound like Rai.
That's weird.
Like the town.
That's why Jason wants to call him that.
He's a fan of some Rye whiskey.
Yeah, Rye.
Oh, I have a nice class of Rye whiskey.
Rye.
Rye.
Rye.
Just being really mad at you, this.
Rye.
This is my friend Ryean.
Ryean Johnson.
Ryean.
He made Star Wars good.
Yeah.
Flying Ryean out this week.
Of course, let's not forget
the oldest, youngest billionaire, Brian Johnson.
You know, you're setting up the Ryu. Wait, what am I calling?
Ryu.
What the fuck?
What's his real name?
Let's just do a whole brand of...
Brian Cranston.
Let's just do a whole brand of...
since you're... Oh, that's harder.
Are you sure?
Your real name. Go on, here you go, read it out.
Share with the class.
Um, I don't want to try it, Janko. Help me out here.
Uh, Geetis Glushauskas.
It's a little harder.
Geetis?
Geetis Glushauskas.
Glushauskas.
There you go.
Geetis Glushauskas.
Where you at is?
Through the smoke.
Oh!
Monkey baby, the latrine player on the side of a Shrullers
Yeah, this is a skilish house. Just also known as
Geeties
Get it
Right get it right
Oh, he's always
What if oh, but what if yes?
What if hey, they already wanted to be for it. We just looked away from the door if we try
What is the plan a second he probably gonna just wait for exits and take his open save
He just wanted to kill you got the spray down he with a head time
I know you're going his friend again, sorry
3d max is over you need to
To international people you're Danish out, but God knows how Hugo would take that
Do you love pastry?
Since that night, my uncle has not been the same. Nor have I.
Most is youngest nephew. He may be the answer. The question is, can we control him?
They drown them!
They strut them. He's psychotic.
We present the special treat, three bots of House of Yorah!
That bot is fucked.
That bot is entirely speaking. You should consent the fight.
Don't spoil my nephews so much.
Have you ever had a dream about your first joke?
Be simple.
Be direct.
Nothing fancy.
I can't believe the scenes that we are witnessing right now.
It's gun time!
I'm not sure!
Oh my god!
Not on me!
Consider what you're about to call an exit.
Abomination.
And that's what it is!
AHHHHH!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
NAKES UP IN!
Welcome back.
We are heading very swiftly in towards map number two.
Is Mirage up next off the legacy put on a clinic on Dust213 to 4, a non-starter
by Navi.
And look where we are now.
Harvey said you put your money where your mouth is.
Is that a B2-0? You're a broke man.
Broke ass.
We head towards at least, well, three maps in, Navi are going to win this.
But there is a real chance of a 2-0.
This Mirage, it's a map that everybody knows, everybody loves.
And despite obviously Navi having the confidence of picking into it,
if legacy are hitting as hard as they've just done,
and a play in the same way they've just done,
Navi could be in real trouble.
No, this is very true.
I think there was just like no get up and go to them on that first map,
You know, no kind of belief almost.
I think they just didn't start well and they were like,
all right, whatever it does to, you know,
we don't know how to play it all that well.
We just kind of play it when we have to.
That seems to be the case given that win loss
and everything, right?
Once in a while, they might be able to get the stars
to align to pick up a victory.
But most of the time, even their losses,
it's like 13, 6, 7, 8 or whatever.
And they're not picking up enough rounds.
I've set him off.
He'll be doing the hand thing for the next 10 minutes.
But yeah, ultimately, there's just not enough discipline,
professionalism, almost.
The timeout to try and pull things back
comes very, very late, in my opinion, right?
They were 7-0 down.
I think they already had a timeout earlier to be fair.
But I think you have to be timeouting
until you win a round, that kind of scoreline.
And by the time that happened, by the time we saw them,
maybe figure things out, you could argue it was
too little, too late.
So, yeah, some real big question marks now for Navi.
What are they going to be able to deliver here?
On Mirage, they start off on that T side as well.
And we'll see if they're able to, you know,
just completely forget about map one.
This is where you'd expect major winners
to be able to do that.
Honestly, I think it's kind of a blessing
that we don't see legacy starting on the T side, right?
If you want any sort of a game out of this,
you just can't have them set in a tempo again.
It was so good at Dusty when they're just flying
into fights.
We'll see how it pans out on that C team.
a split being set up here. Two players in this direction, they're both around con, but you've got two
mounted to a shot and you're going to get two immediately. Emma and Makaase deleted. Emma had a
really poor mat number one that continues at the start of mat two. Indeed, very, very quick
to set this round up in good stead for legacy. Wonderful, just dry swinging in,
trying to take Mars into his own hands on that Rayboss P250. Not going to work.
It's not looking good as soon as they move into Mirage here. It's more of the same really from Legacy.
Yeah, it's one of those. If you're going to try and take head to head duels against what seems like a red hot legacy at the moment, it's just not going to work in your favor.
You've got to find better ways to take them down. Do you know a nice start from him?
really from legacy yeah it's one of those if you're gonna try and take head
head duals against what seems like a red hot legacy at the moment it's just not
gonna work in your favor you've got to find better ways to take them down do
my own nice start from him but yeah wonderful swinging in like that it's
just never gonna work out pistol found you get a bite outs to a loose degree
We've got an AK4 bit though.
Dropped over and I'm right and saying, by Alexi,
he's got a D-Eagle, cars lay on towards like a little,
that's as good as it gets.
On this legacy, pushing a decent of sparks in while that's the
AK already dead to rights.
Nice swing from Lato, that's such a confident play.
Yeah, it's just the same people again though,
like it's very, very early on,
but Dumao having domination Lato,
not being phased,
being afraid of this map really I think they're very much convinced themselves with the victory on the previous map that they can
absolutely take Navi here today in clean fashion and that's what they're trying to prove what they're trying to do and
Indeed much like myself trying to put their money where their mouth is. I think that is the phrase that comes to mind
That's a little stuck here. We've got one and towards
We're all wonderful. I don't know where he is
Take a little damage from hitting the smoke it'll pay us position
She go and see Lata go and play up close to that. I like this.
Front of Tetris, waiting for the die of Alba. Smoke about to fade and they'll realize nobody's
there. Bomb picked up in towards mid and they're going to make that move.
I'm thinking I was spotted there. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was spotted, especially
with the mollionade combo. Absolutely.
I'm looking to try and earn a kill here as he is leading the vanguard up connector.
Ready for some presence over in the jungle, but not ready for art.
They do take all the kills on site, they're wonderful Zeke.
Really singing.
The bomb's been dropped in all this though.
That's going to slow them down quite a bit.
It's down to in the one HP to get this done.
The one versus two overall, he's got barely any time.
Looks to take the fight with the Nade,
but Nissim could have just thrown caution to the wind wildly spraying,
and I'm sure he could have felled him.
Not going to happen for Narvi, unfortunately, but a nice try.
Yeah, close, but no cigar.
Without a bomb plant, I don't think we see a bite follow up.
A lot of teams do like to continue the force fight
because they make it so close,
but a lot of it comes down to actually getting the extra cash on deck with the plant.
Nice effort.
It looks already like a more competitive Narvi despite the round loss.
making that one as close as it was. Like I mentioned they don't have the finances to really
facilitate it. They can't even bring in those premium rifles here so
a bit of pistols is as good as it gets. The eagle
deals some damage but for now MOLLEAL force 1-4, it's just a pack a little bit and this
I'm going to get a smoke down. Be careful here. It's up close. Now they'll find that shot.
Eagle spamming delivers. B site now open. The rotations are coming in but they are
diving in towards this B site.
Nice from Dumao as you just finally catch one.
Ima though, with a really big kill, I think,
before that bomb goes down, get them on advantage
and just really push them out of the site here.
Harko's wide, and mate, doesn't quite deny it's Lato's though
to find another Ima, however, on this deagle.
Keeps the headshots coming.
Sads in alone, and surely just looking to save.
Wow. Ima, the same amount of kills in this round
as he got the entirety of the last map.
He's back to his best.
That's what we needed.
He spoke about superstars coming alive for an RV and there it is.
What a round to be taken though.
So important.
Completely flipped the script on the enter now as well.
Right, we're going to go in towards this where it's
comfortable through the eyes, come through for an RV,
if a legacy, because that previous round being so expensive,
that's heavily reinvesting towards this one.
And now losing, put them on a difficult buy. I mean, most of these were forced by back in,
and I'm assuming what we're going to get here. That is a tough one to throw away for legacy.
Just beat that a little bit too open, maybe a little bit too aggressive from this one as well,
going down for nothing. That long-saved rifle. Fama, some great upgrade of pistols. I mean,
He should be seeing RV not only take the leap or probably use that as a bit of a springboard
Putting serious pressure on towards legacy, which is the first time we'll see it all series. No, absolutely
Can they do that though? I mean, this is the big question because a
Fight down below does take it
Patience paying off, but it takes him so long the Dumau comes to trade his teammate and also confirm the fact that there's nobody else
at top B so
f4 the CTs are able to set up
and get ready
there are gaps
the gap is middle, the gap is short
slim little look coming in from a couple of players here
and as they go wide
they will get taken down again though
hang on
they're gonna pivot
maybe overthinking things ever so slightly
and they sit here up close to the 5.7
oh my
how does he get both?
I thought surely he goes down but he's able to get
oh
the 10 takes
did the temptation of the AK.
Dumao comes in behind there with an AK of his own.
So again, the two kills, it buys enough time,
bit now left in the clutch and left to recover the bomb.
He's got vague location on both of these players.
Can he catch them?
The answer is no.
And it's the 5-7 to take over.
I mean, we saw a little bit there.
Lexi B hands off the keyboard.
You know, just chilling, resting, thinking, stressing.
Trying to remain calm, I think, and not let it out.
Yeah, he's a Zen guy, but he's really being tested.
Bad round to let go, yeah.
Definitely a little bit of tilt coming in there.
A wild gamer getting a mirage.
Legacy in this Porsche of the wall counter-strike in Navi,
trying to match up to the pace of it.
But it's difficult.
We kind of said in the previous series,
you can't really beat a side foot in this bare knuckle
Bro, I'm the same thing here.
I'm gonna try and make his way up up.
You might catch a gap, but there's a short player
holding for him and a swing and a fine.
Art Lato combined well, but so do Alexi and Bit.
A little bit of dynamic though in their own regard.
Art's here, only good for one.
Dumau, for one of his own as well.
One will go down, oh, a tap on it.
Actually, the spam is not bad at all.
Head and hands, that's wonderful.
Watches on and hoping that Bit can pull off
a masterclass round that he's had in his past.
We're needing something special here. Headshots need to rain through, but do more other ideas.
He is a destroyer of Na'Vi at the moment. 9 and 2 in the early portion of this Mirage.
And yes, a bomb plant's good.
But all that matters is another round on the board for Legacy.
Yeah, crazy stuff, man. Na'Vi getting a bit closer, certainly looking more competitive, but not looking dominant, right?
I think is maybe what they wanted coming into this map
Legacy still able to compete still able
To take clutch situations
Which is where you'd expect Navi to have an edge and probably they themselves expect to have an edge
It's not the case timeout coming in here
as they look to try and
Patch things up before it gets out of hand. It will be a half by into this one. Yeah
I like a hero AK and around this like if it's a bit you call 4.4
You can bring a hero AK and some like tech nines and armor around it. It can still be a little scary round
Yeah, legs, you know good spot they really are
Up speak the devil get exactly that we get
Bit into was the AK the hero AK and upgrade epistles around
I think this is kind of the best kind of buy you can go for yeah for Navi in this situation
But it's still a tough one to make work
like, utility out here, just see what they can do with that, sending bit, basically just
based off his spawn, trying to find the first kill. Mid-nades though, so they're not too
fancy, it's not like they're necessarily looking to go B and execute out, they're just looking
for mid control at the moment, what are they going to do with it, player quickly moves
up, bit runs into the orb, that sucks for sure, like, first person that he meets,
Oh, hold on. Hello. It's gonna be spicy.
It's isolated. Yeah, go be here.
Oh, Nessim, you're dead to rights.
This teammate keeps moving up short, so it's really not looking good.
That's gotta be it. That's gotta be the round. Maybe we'll see.
Depends how these fights go.
Emma, gonna get another one of the AK.
Utah dropped over. He might be sent in towards market here.
Sads is holding the angle.
Lato will send an aide in towards the site, but there it is.
The patients will pay off four sads and he'll get one and it leaves it for wonderful Macaulay.
Macaulay with that AK-47 scooped up.
What do you do in a situation like this?
Numbers don't favor you.
There's a little bit of you to left as well for the CT side.
A double flash and a smoke and a creep on through.
The split in towards this site is looking dangerous.
But wonderful will nail a quick shot.
It's labored.
So wonderful gets another one versus one.
A deagle.
The hand cannon needs to sing against the orb,
But it can't and those go pop clothes. He's just about got enough time. I'm pretty sure but this is going to be down to the wire
Oh, the bond goes green
But he just about gets it and legacy survived a serious scare
And what more can I be do?
Win the round I think well of course, but like what more can they do to win the round? There you go
You know like those are the extra words maybe that they need it's like it's just so so difficult
Get a man in behind, imma find the short guy, like, how are they not winning this?
Seriously, how are they not winning it?
Yeah, just so damn close.
Oh my god, there's a sliver.
Yeah, a little tiny, maybe as small as that graphic goes.
Yeah.
It picks all the way.
It's just crazy.
It really isn't, you know, and now it's gonna get harder and harder, I think, for Narvi to keep their heads in the game.
Yeah, I agree.
They cook up a great round, they hit their shots, maybe not everybody, but the key components
slot into place and then in comes the crazy guy flying around shooting left right, not
really thinking too deeply about it and they still manage to clutch.
I will say this is the first proper gun round we've had though in every situation that's
been like a half by versus a gun round or a low by, this is the first time where
we get a real good test of what there is against full rifles in utility. It starts with a nice
nade. But it's such an important run. If you lose this, then RV and mentally you're going
to boom. No matter how disciplined you are as a side, this is a tough one to recover
from. It is still, though, once again just a 1B anchor. This one gets given, you know,
obviously quite tough roles in that sense. Let's see how he fares. Molly will force
him out. Oh, it's Crosshill. Dead to right, but not to be. One jumps across, they line
up, but he just can't finish off the second player as Alexei will find the trade. They've
got the site and the numbers. Surely this is going to be Narvian towards their second
round.
And it might be because Legacy are conceding it. I would have loved to see a real battle
of wits over there on the B bomb site to see if they would indeed hold on, but
Legacy are just conceding and going to give it a cross. So Narvian made that
works also something that's a bit rarer from them I think in terms of a burst at B so maybe
now they know they have that in their back pocket been saving it for when the guns come out
it looks good everybody trying to do that van jump apparently they made it like slightly harder
with some of the uh jumping changes very subtle jumping changes a few moments later
It's at least a good sign the first actual gun round.
I saw a bee here that comes through and it works well.
Do my all ye.
That second killer you could have found Alexi through it, it really would have opened
up more doors in the round itself.
But gamify margins which Narvi win out but with the save legacy no issues with the
Re-invest for them.
Alright, let's find out.
Let's see if Navi can turn it into a few rounds
if they can even up that scoreline.
Or if Legacy will figure them out quick
and go back to their winning ways without a hitch.
Important one here, Satz in getting aggressive.
Ooh, spot to leg.
He's not quick enough to react to that, but...
Got some info in here and looking to just hold control of B-AXX.
Take out comes in, the push to catch him on the way back.
Should be successful.
Oh, quiet, the nade just isn't fast enough.
Satsang still sticking around, not burning to the molotov, but he takes a lot of damage.
How he says alive. I have no idea. Just sort of accidentally the perfect movement there.
I'm still in the spawn at this point.
Nice move, Emma.
We'll find this Emma as that smoke fades.
Ah, too short of spotted.
Oh, my God.
Relentless in the pace from him.
Down goes bit, no one's expecting the re-swing, especially when they're both spotted.
Position, Emma.
Nice find from him.
Oh, he had a chance at landing them up.
And same for Dumau, but both fail in their opportunities.
And Navi finally putting a bit of a statement up as well
I know the last man is Satsen that all pro of it towards B
And of course you're gonna have a look for a hon. Why wouldn't you you notice the open? You know you tagged him
Since his time out Navi just looking way better
Keeping it simple, but
We've used the word sharp to describe, you know, yeah, fracking well, and I think that is definitely apt here
I don't think we're just getting more of these players online like already
Emma's got a few times the amount of kills he's got, and it's more of a parody of Dust 2.
They started to take this time out. I think Emma maybe looked good at the start.
It's now good more support.
Get the AWP Awakens. Alexi B actually doing some heavy lifting here.
Yeah. This is without kind of two of the three main players that do put numbers off of the side.
Yeah.
Still kind of waking up a little bit.
Both and oh by his do my all fixtures heads up. Oh, it's all right. He's
Safe for now. It's got the Zeus
Hmm. Yeah, interesting the zapper
Pretty good spot for actually. Yeah, we'll see if he could embarrass somebody
Fortunately, I'm not sure well
Rotating back around I thought it's gonna be more of an a split
Might be a B move here. Might just be a find all the kills type round though. I don't really know whether they're going to need a tactical master class.
Humo has been mollied out so they know about him. He goes down. Makaze is forehead. Soon all they work, it'll be wonderful to find that final kill.
Four head cam, four head cam.
Oh, there he is.
Uh, oh.
Oh, someone's talking to himself.
Yeah, stop slouching.
That's what happened in the round.
His chair's just gone, like, you know, just drop down the hydraulic scone in his chair, maybe.
I don't know.
Well, when they got to set them up themselves,
yeah, comical to say the least.
Yeah, well, we've got a lesion, which has been incredible.
because of his team's underperformers, so I couldn't see it anymore.
But it was funny when we did see it.
One frame per calendar day.
But, uh, a car say, OK, OK.
All right, forehead gaming.
Sorry, mate, as he headbutts them out of this round.
Oh, and Bill make a move of his own as well.
Back into the buyer and legacy
of just being steamrolled here and towards the A site.
Is the round done already?
Yeah, the Navi time, our man, it absolutely has to be, you know,
they've just got a solid maybe a bit of a pep talk coming in
from the the man in the engine room as we've not really seen him, but blade of course just
waking them up as you've said and I think that definitely seems to be the case here they've
been reminded of who they are and what they're capable of.
Past few gun rounds have been no contest really really clinical shots.
Even the save might be under question to be honest with you.
Yeah.
Alex is having a look.
Yeah you're right.
Why wouldn't you, right? You've got plenty of Egon to work with. Oh, the little hon.
Gonna afford to lose a couple. Doomhole will get one. Drops a smoke for his own security.
He looks like he'll be fine. I think the same should be said here for Nysim.
Actually won't get around in time, oh he's been hurt, don't need to peek really as both
of them realize that it's not actually worth while the fight because they pretty well flash
avoided and just two simple kills from bits coming out of the smoke at the same time
and nice move and finally a bit of a back to the best for Navi this is more what we've
be looking for for the side game tied up heading into close around of the half
legacy as well they'll already be kind of kicking themselves to squandering the
lead they have but if you going into what second half how my two no it is
definitely possible and then I worry for this T side you know how they get
through the brick wall of Navi that's really started to impress
Wonderful moves back to get some mid utility out here and also recover the bomb which has not yet made it out of the spawn.
Meanwhile big fight it is out taking the swing onto bit. Upgrades to the AK man advantage for legacy.
So maybe we have written them off before we got going a similar move to the previous round but comes in a bit later.
Wonderful here to try and trade things up as it looks pretty strong in order to do so.
In on the stairs, however, looks to be the hero for Navi as he's done many times so far on this map
Pushing in, there's the location of a couple, but it's R that goes unchecked in dark. Could be a game changer and it is
Beautiful round from R. In the same way we said for him a kind of a few rounds ago in that deagle
Same amount of kills in that round as the map. I'm pretty sure that was the same for R. Yeah, four kills in the first map
so both of the lower performing players in terms of numbers have a more impact here.
Just a vast addition to the result. Quad 4R. That last shot in particular, really nice.
Legacy guarantee worst case scenario is the type game which is a level of a saving race.
We probably wouldn't say so just because of the leader they did have.
Take 7-5 though and there could be legs behind it in both a team kill.
I think it's like next to no
information to work off. The
plot has been lost here for
not having that safe to say.
been lost here for now, I think that's safe to say. Not a bad game, but anything short
of the wind doesn't matter, you know. All the usual kind of things we talk about, damage
and bomb plants and things like this. I'm going to make a difference. There's a LexiBee
got in store if anything. Slow creep up, they've got that bomb very well covered.
It's a light check coming in, eventually, we'll be seen.
The thing is though, Nissen now being seen also kind of draws attention away from art.
Realistically, collecting this bomb is next to impossible.
There we go.
Ah, get out!
The molly will come down as well.
The bomb's collectable, but there's just, there's nothing really.
Alex, you can do it. He does have a molly of his own.
And there we go, scene off for the half.
Seven to five, a wild half for Counter Strike, but it's a legacy you've taken ever so slightly
and we did like what we saw on the T side from them in Dust 2, so we'll see whether
So they continue that before the break.
the two to bracket for them to
consider. But it's a scary place
to be right. Some really great
teams going to be there, of
course, and they would have
expected to give legacy a good
run for their money. If not be
beating them relatively
cleanly, and it has been
anything but legacy looking
fantastic here this afternoon.
They want to close things out
into a fashion arguments you
made as well without how well
Emma was playing potentially
matter even if be as close of
a game through as it was
was once you got the quad kill of that eagle round but he's had a lot of great
impact in giving a lot of space to Navi the pistol is so important here legacy of
being pretty damn good and making these competitive and really putting the
pressure on he should want us to wait five hours for day in they come first
fight it's bits for one wonderful the trade he spots running towards or
Tetris but running low on ammo in this simple trade yeah him behind the
smoke here looking to try and find a couple he's actually distracting away from a car
they may be however he can't get that initial shot Lato will punish him it's
gonna make all of the differences a little nade here available for the T side
but they're worse for wear still hold out hope for the CTs if one clean kill
comes in nade is nice and it forces them forwards miss him again and the
legacy pistols remain ever ever convincing yeah an absolute air strike
of an A there. That is worrying for Navi. You kind of needed that pistol or at least if you
don't get the pistol you should need the force by here. Or else you're really going to be
falling very very far behind. Eighth on the board. A bit of breathing room as well for
them. You can just see how high they're getting. You don't even get the force by
out for Navi. They're waiting for the gun rounds as early as possible. So it should
be a simple knife. Couple of
the Eagles to work with and
father's not in a building one
of them despite having that
miraculous round earlier.
Lookies favoring legacy at the
moment. Well, it's hard not to
one of the Eagles already dropped
his bitch has to make a move.
McCarthy's presence is known
in towards short as well with
that hand can us them out and
just trying to avoid it.
I think they'll be confident
He's actually somewhat isolated.
He's got players to support that thing with this kind of an angle.
Yeah, has to be careful himself now.
That's what I said.
I find one is the bomb.
However, the Mac 10 in close proximity was all a trap.
All an opportunity for art to make some money once again.
His plan.
Works out him up.
You get anything done hidden away on the stairs.
He has them.
They're coming his way.
Yeah. So maybe one, but surely not the round.
Smoke as well.
That'll force him if he wants to fight from top stairs.
You'll some damage on towards do now, but it's not enough.
Great round to be taken further extending this lead.
Definitely get into the position of being worrying.
His first gun round is kind of everything for now.
V, you don't find this.
It's a long, long road to recovery for them.
Let's see. So much pressure on their side. You can see they look so dejected as well.
9-5 and a bonus buy 4 legacy. There's plenty of econ left in the back pocket so even if
they lose it's not the end of the world but they can make the front even just expensive
despite a loss. It'll go a long way to keeping Narvi in a really uncomfortable position.
Easy smoke will come through, more over towards stairs and con as well, bit going to tuck himself
under wood, made on towards ramp but maybe a little bit uncomfortable, the back chin around
the corner, all that art primed and ready, can't give him those fights, he nearly gets
another as well, the clock is hoping as it taps through the smoke but he can't find
him, wonderful, drops missing and they're going back towards B, there is two players
here, the third rotating over.
They've got pretty scared about that a bomb site. I think the utility the responsive utility
I was got his own little corner of the a bomb site and the thing is his mac 10s got no ammo and he's scared to reload it
Yeah, they know he's about
Absolutely know he's about he thinks he's stealthy, but he ain't where is he but he could have pushed in
I don't know he would have been spot surely, but then they're like did he get window? Maybe they're pulling away, you know
just the art confusion the art of confusion for sure definitely making a difference here
Yeah, it shouldn't have reloaded man should have stuck to the Glock it's all gonna be down to Lato
He fakes things out once again to try and draw some attention thin the numbers before committing to the plant
They are not wanting to mess this one up
They are giving him all the space in the world flank comes in to deny that bomb plant
with a really important rifle round.
Yeah, such a necessity.
It honestly feels like a squandered opportunity for legacy
because that pushing towards a art-finding one,
dealing so much damage on towards the second,
it actually looks pretty good.
But I just don't think you have the full support
in kind of committing out.
When a couple of kills come back in play,
you can see that mail that comes through
and it's a little bit chaotic.
Like I mentioned, there is money for a buy,
it's not a great one. Sort of needed that bomb bomb.
One eagle for Art, a P250 for Nism as he just bolsters up the Utah a little bit.
So quite a bit of heavy lifting actually done by Sads and Dumau here
and speaking of the devil, Sads and that ought to as well for one.
He's now going to hold the cross. Molly will take on towards Dumau,
but he's got a decent position to catch them if they go through window.
They've got to smoke him off. Now they do.
Oh, close close, but not quite close enough.
It's Macaulay and Ima though we were working round the back of this lurk smoke
There's really paid dividends for the CT side. That's in future kills coming
It's kind of the only one that does it's gonna be our all alone. I was lagging behind I believe
One versus three. I don't know bro. Artnado. Come on all pal. Oh
He's seen escaping
With the or because he's gonna save this into the next round. Maybe good luck
It's a minute long save. You know what I mean is it's not that many
I think you could do it. It depends. Yeah, I know that the CT's all want to like give him the chance
To be honest, yeah
Really quick
Recovery there from from Navi that have immediate rotate on towards the beats at the second
Sides and gets the opener. They just barrel in the numbers
Quite a gamble, but it's it's one that pays off and yeah, you are right
It's looking like they're not really too comfortable in terms of hunting
Bomb drops on the side the stick and around is a art will actually be given a luxury of
Keeping the open play, but it's basically gonna be the only thing they have in the next round
They might try and make something around it now though
He's got a deagle to drop. Yeah, it's so risky doing that is any issue
You force buying towards the next round and lose
Honestly, why else they would commit to like saving the all you know
I mean, you've got plenty of time to make the decision and talk it over.
So if they didn't want to do that, surely just throw
our into the mix to even out the econ, like throw the all part of the map or something.
I feel like he gives sad isn't it here?
Maybe that's half armor behind it.
And then they upgrade the pistols.
That's kind of where I would lean.
And I can have like D.Gal armor.
That's what we're going to get.
That that that for me is the right call.
Yes, arts in a bit of a spot where he has been he's.
Double eco, but yeah, you're like you're right. He's more than happy using the less a weaponry. Oh
No window smoke Emma used to be careful he surely got to expect this possibility
Oh, he's spotted by sides in this is the way you can make these sort of rounds work
You just got to keep doing these little gimmicks and facilitate the orb into as many fights as possible and basically the pistols around him
They've just got to be kind of for a draw away the crosses
What loads of presence there on the B bomb site here, so just got to keep your eyes on
that.
It will be a forward-facing Alexi B, life of a B anchor of course, on the jump peak of
the orb.
It's ever closer, and Alexi B maybe understanding that, not sure if he spotted the edge of
a player maybe.
Wonderful over.
Yeah, it seems like maybe they have...
Not quick enough, splits the difference between a couple.
Alexi B far away, smart way to play it.
They're giving him the space. Let's take the bomb plant, keep everybody
up in the apartments or on this side of the site, but the push will now start and it looks good dropping that orb.
It's the important thing. Nysim manages to get his hands back onto it, so we'll see what he does.
However, the relentless CTs making it look good. Nysim can't get anything going.
I'll be bringing it within one now, getting close. Legacies, T side, leaving a lot to be desired.
Yeah, honestly though, getting a bomb plant out of that is really not bad at all.
Yes, the Orp falls but you're gonna be buying back in towards this next round
It was a minimal investment towards that one the only one it takes a bit of a hit is art because of his double eco
But like you said if you Mac 10 maxing and I think you might just go back into it to be honest
There's small silver lining to be taken away from what was ultimately always a bit of a throwaway round
Let's see are we reaching distance now what a k it's all on the tech nine with the belt of Utah
Who's this legacy? Game tied up and if anything given over towards Navi, that leader's in
financials going to ruin.
Execute coming in, not wasting any time going in there. I'm not sure how we feel about this.
Bits in the corner, ready to deal with them. They will eventually go down. That's a flash
move but surely it's just cost them so much to get in now that they can't hold
the line. Alexi is late to the party. Maybe an opportunity to thin some numbers. Makaze
moving in. Nice and aggressive here. He will be watched for. He will get taken down. Weird
little game state to deal with. The trades. Maybe legacy are onto something with this.
Satsin brings it down to the one on one. He's done so well on the trades. Can he
find now a clean head shot? Maybe just here's a footstep from Alexi B. Molly's
it out. Going to go for the bomb plan. Alexi's immediately rotated round towards
Sadson seems happy to take this fight.
It's the bomb down just round the corner.
How does he play this one?
Trying to put some distance between him and Alexi.
Flash comes up. He's easily able to dodge.
Playing it patiently.
Waiting for Alexi to make all of the noise.
Nate is pretty damn good to soften him up.
It's a clean headshot required from the AK of Sadson.
That's really all he has to win this one out.
Holding the angle so very attentively for so very long.
He's not going to come this way though.
Or is he or maybe not sure something can't get it done. And it's the maid that makes the difference
The kit thankfully for Alexi and the even up for Navi. Oh, you can see the frustration
He thinks he's played around that perfectly
That's a good effort if it wasn't for this way too easy double for bit
legacy walk away that round is still sloppy on the entries, but
Well done from Alexi, like you said, honestly that nade does it makes all the difference.
So close.
Yet so far, game tied up.
The bomb plant does allow them to be buying back in.
Needle Eels has to be brought into the play here.
I don't get tagged up early on the edge of that smoke.
Molly's down, they're going to look quick towards B, but it's only one.
It's just two miles trying to create a bit of a ruse himself.
He's alone in this endeavour for now.
There's two making their way out of ramp as well.
It's a bit under bulk.
How quick are the reactions?
One's going to go up on high, or he's spot the fee.
He's spot the fee, he knows.
He knows the only thing is he's going to surely get tunnel vision in here,
but doesn't matter, wonderful is going to support.
And then bit unchecked, gets another legacy desperation
starting to creep into the counter strike here
and then making a lot of simple mistakes.
Yeah, moving really quickly into the round. They try and sell like a light fake. It's just not convincing enough
Running out of strats running out of depth here, of course
You begin to question things
The long term
Whether this is gonna last for legacy whether they will be able to refine themselves
Maybe some timeouts to be taken. Yeah at the very very least
But even then Navi have just started to look incredibly dominant which for the first time in the series
It's good to see yeah, it's true and I think the legacy as well
You know when they bring this sort of relentless pace in rounds and it works
It's fun to watch and it's effective, but this is kind of the the other side of the sword
The barreling in towards fights and they just get a mode down it's just way too easy for Navi all they know
They have to do is just keep guns up
I don't even require to use that much utility just be ready for the fight
We're gonna go for a little look for a hunt.
I mean, if I'm playing them.
Flash over, no one here.
They are safe enough though.
They're tucked in towards Palace, just about.
So, no hunt to the end.
Hey, spots the feet bit.
There's a gap in that box and pixels enough for here.
He tells wonderful the information,
who gets the kill, and then bit goes unchecked.
Again, another one where it's two opening kills,
go the way of Narvi and that all but seals the deal on the round. First I
hit double digits somehow. Here's Narvi considering the first half we had especially
towards the tail end where it felt like legacy were waking up and they get the
pistol and the four-spy. It all felt like it was slightly being set in stone
but it's not the case. Swing and a train. Don't scoot back up as well,
wonderful. Be a bit careful here. It's just a shorties and a bit of trouble.
He's now dead to the eagle
Was a barn to John you're the first time in a long time for legacy
This would be the round wouldn't it keeping it just loose straight fights coming in from them
Is there anything back around off?
Lucky to be alive
They're slowly moving towards this be bomb site
If the bomb ends up going a round is over and it's maybe a soft save in that sense from Navi although
6 HP, Emma!
Make it guard over here with like a wooden sword to try and hold on to the A bomb site.
Yeah, this is kind of like hydrogen bomb versus coughing baby.
Indeed.
On the A site. We'll see. They haven't really committed, there's a full freeze call by art.
Navi, they're going poking and prodding, they're searching for information, they might be wanting towards a window.
Your sim boosted up but as you round to corner Lexie will see him in a second Lexie will see him in a second
He looks to his right. Oh
He goes just about you know, it's one of those windows who was con all three now spotted and bit has a chance to steal this
But it's cross there goes skew with
Legacy tie it back up and of all the rounds and to find that was the one that it felt like they had the least chance
But for the first time in a while
They get the numbers advantage and they just utilize it players apart move together to trade effectively
Yeah, really solid but again just coming off the back of a slightly gimmicky start you might argue right like not the
Conventional smokes out mid they just go flying looking for an early kill and and that's something that maybe is gonna catch
You for one round, but obviously isn't gonna work time and time again
Harvey will be slightly more aware maybe not getting you know their players jumping up short those types of moves running out mid
Utility in hand as they peak mid
Time are being taken here to again just readjust
It's a blip. It's a small mistake, but overall in the rifle rounds. We have looked incredibly dominant that kind of line at the moment
reassuring them, isn't it?
In this second half we've been the better side
Special in the guns are in place until then being all us
It's a hiccup. It's a blip. It's a speed bump in the road
Don't want to really say I'm gonna saw when Navi checked out and towards dust to
So easy legacies are just
their way to the end
Funny how I think there's all these breaks and things coming in. Funny how the top mid
smoke is just made of the reappearance. Yeah, yeah, it's true. You know, him is able to
go for like a really low damage break of the mid smoke there. So, yeah, kind of interesting.
I'm not sure how that develops as a meta item, but for now, it is in his usual spot.
Will they expect him?
It's him dry swinging.
Takes the first and indeed, I think they're aware that bit should be somewhere around.
Trains come thick and fast.
Will there be anything untraded for that CT side to try and get them back in?
Do they even want to give this a look here or will they move to say, oh, definitely
going to now.
of the game. The only one that
has not been able to come out
is the thorn in the side. As
legacy looks set to hit 11.
They've gone back to their
gimmicky style. This is
Brazilian counter strike
through and through dry
walking out of palace. And
the conditioning maybe that's
been set up here a lot of the
time in these early right
for round. We have seen them
go for quick executes, but
indeed still getting the
The call I would imagine go a shoot has yeah
You give legacy and they stay taken a mile right each corner for to allow them by if you're in control of the temporary corner
You're not for to allow them back in because they will run with it and they're so good at doing that
Chilling rounds back to back
They are back into a bit of a snowball is what legacy do best
And now we have given them a little bit of a gap to work with and of course they're gonna take it
advantage legacy and honestly series in the line here from RV with this bye
MP9 two farmasses whole kitchen sink thrown at this one and RV let it slip
legacy fine 12 here is next to no money to work of in towards what is most
likely to find around off-play here in this series
All to play for here and there is some slow down tension re-added by legacy not necessarily
looking try and find those same dry walkouts smoke comes in towards around that I'll keep
them in bay for now they're expecting something to come their way I think is yeah change up
But now that you're not necessarily taking crazy aggression into their own hands and they're scared to do it
To be honest, especially this sort of bite. I don't really blame them
It's got a clear on the bit of play in basically every round and they did it last round played in easy one for one
Venture really gonna come in the Molly will force out a legsi surely that's right in the ears
that the hands of Lato, Bittner playing the edge of his smoke, gets one, transfers a little labored,
it's damaged out. They know there's a Samus player. The thing is, if they expect a second,
they do, but it doesn't matter anyway. Lato and Nysim combine well. A wonderful 1v1 versus 3,
you have to save here. The issue is, he's surely walking towards his demise. He has no idea
about this comp player, and he does not clear him. Doomow sees it off, and that is legacy.
The map and series at points and Navi left in ruin pockets are empty wallet is thin chances
are dwindling and you can see they are tilted. Legacy looking so damn solid though again
there are some adjustments coming into this round. It's not quite as gimmicky. It's a
bit more thought out they will go for the execute bit in a great great spot. I was
worried the palace player didn't move for a long time on that T side of it. He needs to join,
he needs to deal with these players that are still on site. They still managed to make it work.
Some heads rolling.
Trades are so clean! Also with the entry to maybe finish the series here and now. Get that play
of the game. And now we're
going to play off. Qualification
locked in. Can they defend the
trades again? Looks so damn
solid. Wonderful does go and
traded at the back end of the
site, Evening up the numbers
that seems to be on the
extremity, making sure that
there's no rotators to help
wonderful left on 12 HPs all
that they have, and he will
go down. It is legacy to do
Brilliant from them there against Navi, a major winning team, unfortunately not the major winning performance here right now, Legacy showing them Brazilian Counter-Strike at its best.
Yeah, what a performance, just no respect showed at all by Legacy and even when things were starting to dwindle and it looked like they were in a bit of trouble,
win around and it just spurs on the flames once again this legacy site are so
exciting and they played a great counter strike and then I'll put this spot
into walls to play off three to one here in stage two of ESL Pro League it's
quite the statement from legacy you were looking back to their best telling
the 2025 the counter strike they were playing was beautiful bountiful indeed
but the start of this year was rough they make a change and it's not my
to bring them into some of their best. What a play from them. This is their run as well.
Victor will lost to Aurora, but since then it's all been on the off and to over Naughty.
That is a serious, serious victory. Yeah. And the way in which they do it, like I say,
you know, there's a lot in there. That's what I always look for in these kinds of matchups
is like, have you, okay, you've shown us some domination. You can go on a streak.
You can be decisive on your own map. Can you remain in a game that's going a little bit
tough for you. Can you pull it off when things get really dicey and really close?
You know, all these types of factors that can be very, very difficult to deal with,
especially for a team like Legacy, where maybe in the past you would say they
lacked some experience. They were building that experience last year. Perhaps
this is where R comes in to just keep them level and indeed, you know, tell
them when they need to change things up, tell them when they can still stay
the same, even though the round might not have gone their way. And
something that Navi were missing, you know, we checked in with them. A lot
you know, you know, you know,
it's not like you're playing
a lot of you see on the player
camps and there was just a lot
of, you know, expressionless,
not an awful lot of
locality. It felt like whether
it that is sort of annoyed or
not, but just kind of repressed
emotion in a way as well. I
think someone wanted to get
tilted. Maybe feel like it's
not an environment safe enough
to get a bit which sometimes,
you know, that's how you are
as a player. If you can
just kind of, you know, a little bit. Yeah, you don't want to be full slamming desks, Nico style, but
once in a while they do, you know, but it just felt like there was an awful lot of like repression
and not a couple players didn't want to speak their mind or whatever. And that makes a difference
in the end for Navi. Exactly. And now legacy joined them themselves, you know, into wars is
three one alongside the Mongols as well. And in the credit to them, right, you know,
you've got four teams booked into wars that next stage, miles and spirit, of course,
of course, when nice and simply
three and oh as well, Mongols
who won earlier today against
3D Max and now legacy. You take
down RV in a bit of an upset
here, especially on paper, but
that is a great, great showing
from the Brazilian side and we
run for these highlights as
well, especially on DOS 2. It
was only one team in that map
13 for them. They looked
electric and while they
definitely fell asleep at
times in towards Mirage, that
is a great showing and a great
kind of performance to really
solidify the legacy or aside
are always threatening for their kind of more brazen style of counter strike foot. I think it's a great example of it
You know, they like to plug like to fly into fight. It's unorthodox CS
It's not this percentage based counter strike that we see by most of the top teams and you have to be scared of it
You can't afford to go into a bit of a slugfest against them
They will bat to you in those sort of rolls and we see a head today
So legacy credit to them deservedly into wars that are next stage as well
And I'm kind of excited to see what they like on land because it feels like when you look at the camps on this side
especially in moments of victory, they are one of those teams that get really fired up, especially
through Maui. He's one of those guys who is really loud, really proud. And we can see he's
obviously working for them on the bootcamp. But man, I can't only imagine when they're on a LAN
environment on stage together, that's when they're going to see even more of this optic of
where they can really get kind of proud of themselves. Yeah, for sure. I think legacy
a really great example from them as well of again, just showing that kind of adaptability
and how they're able to get back into the game here.
Ultimately for me, I think that there is a lot to be shown
of legacy in terms of the opening matchup in stage two
was against Aurora, and they didn't necessarily adapt.
They didn't necessarily change things.
They just stuck to the same sort of style.
It was kind of working, you know,
took him to four over times on the first map over there.
A wild, wild experience, but ultimately there just wasn't a lot
of sitting back and be like, OK, what can we
saw change here?
What can we bring to come back into things
and keep it in our favor?
And arguably close things out, as they should have done
a number of times on the Inferno that went to the Quad OT.
Here they did a bit more of that, right?
And once Navi started getting back into the game,
we saw things change subtly.
There wasn't like massive changes.
They clearly had a pretty clear idea of what they
wanted to do and just try and create the early kills.
then go from there and that's a lot of what legacies game is about I think is
just opening matchups and then trade trade trade trade trade you know the
pack is so well put together and so trusting in each other and really really
solid in that sense that it just means that they're able to very very cleanly
trade their way through and it's about creating that first kill so that you
have a man advantage going into the bomb site as as it goes down I do
believe we have an interview ready here though from one of the victors
over on the legacy side of things, indeed. So thank you very much for joining us today.
Hello.
Pleasure to have you on.
Hello.
First of all, congratulations.
Thank you, thank you so much.
Yeah, yeah, you're all good. Congratulations on the victory there. Really convincing.
I think it is safe to say in the end, obviously hard fought on the Mirage. Talk me through
how you're feeling with that one, you know, a 2-0 that goes very, very well for you
in the end.
I think we are feeling good because we have been practicing a lot, to be honest, and it's
been a tough month for everybody, where everybody is really, you know, being insulated, we're
cutting earlier, having really talks, you know, hard talks about like, oh, you don't
have to do this. I think the
and then you have to okay. Yes. Yeah, we just started talking.
I mean, I agree. Uh, to be the same page, you know, and I think these talks just
I does be more comfortable in the game and play better situations. Yeah, I
love to hear. I want to talk about as well. Of course, you know, with this side
you came in towards this year and it was looking a little rough, right? You
You weren't playing to the level you were at the tail end of last year.
You finished 20-25, playing excellently, started 26, a little rough, you made the change, art
comes in.
Talk to me about art coming in towards this line-up.
What has he brought towards this side?
How has he brought you guys back to your best?
I think art, he understood what is a stronger niche individual in our team.
And then by this position where he understands which player, even like first practice he didn't
even pass anything, he didn't do any stress or things because I think that's, understand
each other is the most important, he just gave us space to be ourselves and then see what
kind of person Average Vido is, you know, and then we, he could understand better
what positions he could put each other,
what situations is better for each other.
And then I think he's doing just a great job
and he has a good mentality of a group, you know?
He united us to be one.
And then everybody just believes on what he says
and what he does.
I think that's pretty much like he's actually
really trying to win, you know?
That's it.
Yeah, yeah, no fair enough. I mean I think the change the arts brought to team definitely can be felt
Obviously you guys now qualify through
To the the land portion is it something that you know moving on to land here
You're gonna see a big upswing or I have you guys been comfortable because obviously, you know your boot camping and
In a bit of a safer space as it were compared to some of the other teams
Are you excited for the LAN portion or is maybe you know the online gimmicky kind of style working a little bit better for you?
You think at the moment
I think we're not a gimmick. We are just playing like our own macro where we really
Stops before games or prices without okay, so this and this and this this part of the map
I think it's very to play like these or maybe you have some gimmicky you can try sometimes but
don't rely on this like rely more on macro and rotations things or we take this
queue or anything this happens in the map or it happens this and this and this we do this
like just playing by information you know and I think I think now it's just
I don't know how to say but it's just better we just know what happens more
often in the game you know like most of the situations that we happen on
practice it happened on the real matches some of them because practice is not the
same you know when you go to practice is very different from officials very very
different and yeah I think we were just excited to play like a real match and
and really see what you were really about you know as a team yeah I like it
I want to ask as well about kind of you guys coming towards this tournament
you start off at the stage you've lost to Aurora right and it's a
relatively close knowing it goes all three maps what was the conversation like
in the team you know because from then it's it's three two zeros in a row
Monty Astralis and now Navi so obviously whatever was said post that
Aurora game you've obviously found a really good form and you've kind of flown
through to kind of go three ones what was the talk like after losing to Aurora
to now kind of spur you guys on to a fantastic run into playoffs
I think overall, after a thing before the results come, and even the game like Aurora, in Aurora we kind of, we just played our game, to be honest, as it was in Braxley, and when we lost the game, we were like, we're not sad, because we really fought, and they fought, they played better, and they won, and that's it, after we finished the game, we just came back.
We kept like normal, you know, but we just like gave a time like two, three hours.
We just laid down and think about the game and then after we come back,
and then we have a conversation as we have every day.
And we just kept going and what we knew this loss just made us stronger, you know,
because it was so long and for five hours, it looked like a best of five.
And they are which because they really fight every time.
After this we just made ourselves stronger and more ready for the next match and everybody felt the same because we talked after the game.
Okay, now we have a better shape. We are a bit more sharper because we are living in a situation where nobody lives with us.
Best of five in a bet?
Three? Bike, you know?
Then we were just believing each other and playing our game.
That's it.
Yeah, I love it man.
Well, brother, thank you very much for joining us.
Congratulations as well.
Not only on the victory, but making it towards playoffs as well.
Thank you very much for joining us.
And best of luck in towards playoffs.
Thank you, thanks so much. Good night guys.
Take care.
Always great to check in as well.
as well. We take a look at the Swiss bracket following that victory by legacy.
Then I'll book this spot into the playoffs and, you know, congratulations to them 3-1.
They joined the Mongols in a 3-1 bracket and it paints a really nice picture for legacy, right?
The uptick is back to their best. And, you know, we got to catch some of the tell
them the last year as we were out doing CAC and obviously a fantastic run from them.
And they looked incredible all tournament long. Then following tournament,
PJ Pucquist make the way towards the final and dropped to Aurora,
like in a five map best of five.
And, you know, this is where it was like, you know,
coming in towards the talent of the year,
it was like legacy or like a certified tier one team now.
And it was just the start of the year
that was a little slow.
But again, like this is more like it.
This is the kind of performances
that legacy we know have the capability of.
And it really comes down to one of the buzzwords
we love using its consistency.
Like if legacy keep doing this,
they become a real threat
in every single one of these tournaments.
No, it's absolutely true.
I think that they do have the capability.
And again, just bringing our in seems to
have tightened them up a little.
I think they were one of these teams that we see crop up and you know you might argue foot is one of them at the moment where it's like
They have some some great shooters. They have some
Kind of cheesy tactics to get the important round when they need it. We saw that towards the end of
Mirage there maybe in their minds it doesn't feel that way
But that's certainly how it sort of like plays out on the server
And then they are able to have a good six months because teams underestimate them or you know
They get caught by all they're not doing their homework specifically on legacy coming into the tournament
They're focusing on like spirit and Mongols and all these other big teams and you just get sideswiped by a legacy
And I think into this year an extended player break and maybe a few decent
Wins and whatnot and matchups some of those big teams like okay. Why are these guys winning?
What can we learn from legacy in in this extended player break? Right?
That's where your support staff really comes in is in the player breaks
and they I think ultimately were figured out towards the start of the year. Yeah
They had to readjust they had to change things in the addition of art seems to have done that
It's a fresh look and it's an exciting look as well
They play some great kind of track and it's hard not to love them as well in some of the ways
They win games do now easily walking over the MVP off the back of that here a fantastic
Showing but ladies and gents that is our second best of three of the day done
We've got plenty more kind of strike on your screens with our final game of the day on the B stream for this tournament
It's sad we have to say goodbye. It's me and Scriv done for this tournament. Thank you for joining us all the way through.
We're gonna throw over to our co commentators of James Bardov and DDK.
We've taken over for the Brazilian Derby coming up next.
It is one you absolutely do not want to miss.
There's all the makings of being an absolute banger.
It's Furia taking on pain after a little bit of a break. Thank you for watching us. See you soon.
It's in...
AAH!

Damn guys, we almost had them.
Thank god that's over.
Board of endless matchmaking, take your first steps towards EPL.
Experiencing real strategies against teams of your skill, learn more at fce.gg.
Maybe I can take it. Yeah, what do you think? Yeah, I'll just take it.
Next time you know, a pistol is converted, like Yankee said, they're back in the mix.
Like, you know, 9.3 half, you'll take it every time if you're T side ancient, right?
But if you're 8.0 up, well, 9.3 is like 10.2, 10.2 is better.
And there are two other options that are even better than that.
Yeah.
Right now, FaZe, while we set up the possibility, haven't shown us anything resembling a close round, to be honest.
It's a stark contrast with Dust2. You know, it seemed like there was a much more confident phase clan.
Look, there's been two rounds where Fuzzer just gets a kill full blind.
You know, they are pretty impactful. They turn the tide somewhat, especially the one in the second round.
So there's been some unfortunate moments from Faze. Of course, there's been moments where Astralis outplayed them, did well.
Like, one of the things that spooks me a little though is like, for Faze, this used to be...
Clowns? Yeah clowns is one. But like all scared of clowns? No, I actually don't mind clowns. They're nice guys. Scared of spiders.
I am scared of spiders. Anything else? Some kind of spider clown. Heights? Heights, yeah.
So if I was in the sequel to Snakes on a Plane with spiders. Yeah spiders on a
ladder. Yeah, scary. Just climb down. There we go, Brokey! This is what we mean.
Things get a little bit looser right you send a guy spawn play out towards a man. Just go see what they got the ramp though
So do a room at B a lot of groups
How do you get nothing there?
95 on yabby frozen finishes him, but I'm gonna need a quick retake here from phase and store player late to the party
Carragorn picked by this off. It's not missing a bee foozie nine and two
It's locking them in sending the clowns
In this way he's got line up a bomb. Yeah, it looks a bit high
It's a bit high so I'm saying it's good. He's landed it. We're back on
Sound like twitch chat every time Harry's on the camera
beautiful love that Molly myself big fan it was a good movie it's a good move
Fuzi Fuzi Fuzi Fuzi Fuzar Fuzar
I'm just happy to see you.
PHZY
PHZY
Fuzinger Fuzing
Follay Fappal
Fafum We're cool
This game is not over.
No it's never over.
Listen I can't say we didn't warn you guys.
Alright me and Alex.
I just didn't think we'd be like this.
Yeah, just come to expect this.
Hmm, Karrion did warn them at the start that this was a possibility.
You did say, guys, we may as well just go to the...
No, no, no, no.
Basically.
Probably save your energy for map 3.
So they're going to be a lot more explosive here.
Ah, fucking...
My bad.
Or BQ.
So, you can't say.
Oh, fuck, oh, fuck, fucking Masterclass.
Masterclass.
Pooxy does not sound tilted. No, this is bad news. This is what it takes though
And he would be off the deep end
It's all calm down for a second phase of charts
Face through double elbow smoke
Like one of them's not in elbow. It's a second plan. They're done. It's they must be doing it for a reason
Well, they just spooked the straw this out. Thank you for catching that
If you want to use rounds of play inside of it for now, it's just frozen with a solo
win.
Putting it to use.
FaZe, looking for those three little rounds at the end of the half.
Three measly rounds, it might not feel like much, but it can be plenty.
Let's see what they can do.
They've got a 5v2, just don't mess this up.
Fuzi and Hoocsi.
Backstab in from Karrigan doesn't let them the kill.
He's giving away one.
Where's his team?
Oh, god.
Oh, hey, hell.
It's fine.
He got the kill?
We good?
How did he get the kill?
My guard?
Yeah, shooting.
Yeah, shooting.
As the night exploded.
Yeah.
You'll take it.
OK, guys.
All right.
Shake it off.
All right.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
Reset.
Go next.
Be ready for the next one.
I think it makes you look crazy.
You know, like, I'm going to kill us all.
That's the kind of 5-5 reasons
He's bringing up the table, like no one wants to mess with this guy.
Man's just trying to nade to his feet.
Giving himself a little handicap to take the fight.
Well, Janko talked about this. He saw it coming.
If you get to 9, foot off the gas, broke a get to kill on a hook, see.
An instant timeout from Raga, maybe it was what you guys talked about.
Maybe DJ just got a little bit too relaxed over on the Astralis side of things.
Yeah, 90 everything's going swimmingly. I don't know what the little green woollen
It's homestown. Yeah, like a little gift. He's been given
The the time of wrong the US ravers do this thing where they give you one like a little sprout like a little green
He looks like a little sprout and wasn't he on sprows on so maybe it's a sprout. It's a sprout
Oh, it'd be a little marge
through sprout days
running open well he's a sturdy oak
that's a okay you idiot ah you can't
Got him!
Hey!
Yep, you did see him.
Got what you asked for.
Oh, Karagin on that retake B.
Swinging on in, losing teammates.
But he's profiting, gets himself a nice one.
Can't deny the plant.
Spot for tip of the toes.
Trying to put one into the killie.
He's got him!
He's got two with one bullet.
Cave occupied as well.
as well. So he's a dead man.
The clock.
And three little rounds.
They're coming in, FaZe.
They're two thirds of the way there.
So three rounds.
Yeah, maths.
Lawless maths.
Mathematics.
Did he think he lagged broken?
That's why he pulled the lock out.
Let's see.
interesting that he didn't buy like a pistol in the previous round I mean he
still has 10k coming into this one point it's good point hello keregan
miss you buddy well we see him in the arena will we see him in person or
will astralis break that dream down today in a reverse sweep
Up 3 is Inferno, which to me means nothing.
You just had a great decider on Inferno.
Between the Mongols and 3D Max, of course.
Of course.
Harry knew that.
I knew that.
Yeah.
I was ready to come in and do that if you needed it.
I was there.
I'd say so.
XCC.
Harry, we never got to this, man.
Are you sad about the coaching change at 3D Max?
You know, he's not there anymore.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
It's not about it.
You know how I said the name wrong.
You know how.
You know how.
How's his cousin?
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ah.
We have fun, eh?
It's round 12.
Final of the half phase.
All they were looking for was three.
Three measles rounds.
They're on the verge of getting it.
Not measles.
The rounds.
Oh, I mean, if he's trying to swim this one, their MMR is going to go up.
Oh, I get it!
Dude, hey!
We need to dumb the jokes.
You guys are too smart for that.
Ooh!
Blind in the mid-fight, Foozie.
Twizz is bold right now for doing this.
He's got no support.
He's watching Heaven, Elbow, Heaven, Elbow.
Just kind of testing the wires on their main, okay?
He's seen that there was a forward defensive position, wards them away, and now we just
all walk back to be...
I thought he's winning this map.
Such an audacious call.
Just I feel it right now.
He's got ancient themed gloves.
He's at home here.
And he's going to be re-smoking red.
What for?
So what? So stairs gonna try and like force them back a bit?
Send the area behind that.
It's a hard fight now, especially with the multi elevation.
He's done well to be alive and distract.
Oh, the tension comes back in for the double dip, gets twists.
Awkward now for Brokey.
Responsibility on B, bomb down on the ramp.
Oh, he's in trouble.
He gets one here though.
Needs two, nails it.
Molly actually denies the trade after he came.
That's an Astralis. Molly, it's on the backstab to come out.
Yabby dead.
Oh!
Astralis, missing by millimeters.
And Astralis, they had all the cards in this round,
but it still might get away from them.
Pass both.
Follow up onto the site now.
It's Frozen left in the 1v1.
He's behind you.
Stare, piece this together,
because Frozen is arriving very, very quickly on this flank.
No, there's the third for FaZe Clan.
It's all they could muster at the end of this half.
Will that be enough to make it scary?
We say that MR12 closes up quick.
Will Astralis live to regret giving FaZe 3?
Ain't you not alone?
The lights of the city, how you carry your way
So many games, so many hoes, so many plans, let them do it
Saturday night, because of the rules
In the crowd, and I wanna spend some time with you

How many do it sideways? Oh
That was a little too easy wasn't it huge? Yeah, just taps the head off a car again walking on up
Here's all the boots bouncing towards him
And they're going to have to try and clear him out and that leads to another tab.
This is all too easy.
A clinical shutdown from Astralis.
Pus-twist down is a clean pistol round.
So what happens when you've got that fozy or foozy in this form, you know, 16 and five
right now?
Formsy.
Formsy.
That's what we'll be calling him.
It's forced by a bust phase.
If they can go, they are.
they've given up they they they're not those guys bring on map 3 which we all
know what it is you know so it's not been a good map phase right it's not
been a played map for a strawless you should have seen me hold the ship bro
who wants our mind to get this get the fuck out of my server yeah love that so
they're catching a vibe too I mean understandably the pressure is high
we discussed it the stakes they're high force by up let's see what they
can do with it they're gonna run back in a play this time five in three main
Ryu here's this he's the shadows shadow people sent to the Chateau realm
Ryu double kill leaves the Stralis in a great place
grab it what can you do with it bro thanks so quick will they get out of his
server did you just go for the burst immediately yes he died not a burst at
all full spray into their backsides wait a second that's trawling that's his
Strolling through the smoke fruities there they cause chaos they survive. Please get out frozen on the bomb and be
No stop
I mean, what do you do here though? How do you get some pillar not like that quick bind? Oh?
Double round the world
double
rainbow
All the way
Would he go red and kill them would he go a implant? I do like this. What are they? What are they things he's doing?
It's a great question that he's waiting for the fire. I think now the pennies dropping but don't want to pull their knives out of
Manoeuvred oh bro frozen is taking them on a world tour
Back to a now he walks temple on flanks beautiful move
And he's grabbed that info
Get behind them. You just gotta hope they don't stick but they got smoke. They got kit
They got advantage. It's not doing that and bomb. Oh
Oh, weird one.
Yeah, bombs off the CT, this is now...
No kit, no kit, yeah, whoops, he has it.
Five, four, three, two...
Whoa!
Get some off, gotta find that kit, gotta find that kit!
Combine it!
On the D-Fuse!
No, no, no, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it!
And it's got it!
Ground secure!
Let's try it.
Enti, really nice try.
Really nice try.
and dobbie if you will the likes or furia versus pain it's been a lot of pain for some
of these squads with recent matches and there was pain for you and I Dan watching the match
yesterday where furia had a very difficult loss. Yeah it is. It was with it was very very hard
to explain it's an anomaly and I don't know that we need we should explain it but we
should hope that it doesn't continue today and maybe maybe there's some extra maybe
additional reasons why that could be the case as you said it's a Brazilian dobbie
a furia, you know, the top dogs from the region, ranks to World Wide at the moment.
I don't think they want to be giving up a game against a team like Payne, and Payne
will be super hungry to see a copper win from them. Additionally, Payne have been looking
great this tournament. So this is a potentially very, very interesting game.
Yeah, it's always nice when you have a national derby. Of course, you can't ask
not Brazilian. Neither is Molodoy, but we can we can adopt them for the sake
of the match. We'll come back to that in a second. We can have a look and see how things
are looking in the Swiss bracket. Just a few matches to go here before we find out who heads
off to the next part of ESL Pro League. So, plenty of results here today, Dan.
Yeah, absolutely. Yes. Things are hotting up. It's been interesting to see the form
of some of these teams, like getting in a foot and bait in that clash earlier today.
I think that was probably anticipated because both teams have been performing. I think above what maybe some would have expected looking really good
But as you can see food managed to to get the better of bait there
So that's just what I wanted to call out because I think there's a two teams to watch
But otherwise I know pain it has been one of my teams to watch
So I feel very very privileged to James that's you know, we're getting to cast them once again here today
Yeah, yeah, yeah be last chance to loon in round five
So again, both these quads coming in with a one to two record, but those are the matches more to zeros today
We'll see if the late one goes the full distance or if it will be a clean sheet for one of them
So fury our versus pain gaming is up next they have faced each other unsurprisingly since they're from the same region
Quite a few times fury are taking the lion share of the victories, but pain. I've got some victories over them as well
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is what you would expect. The pain has been, I guess, you know,
some respects kind of in a more of a rebuilding phase. They're definitely the team that hasn't
been able to perform as well. When it comes to the lands, you know, going as deep as Furia has,
I think, you know, obviously, Furia has, just when they, when four fallen switch roles, you
know, bringing Moldova into the team, you know, he went to more of a rifling
position and he got your kinder in and your kinder was also kind of in a spot where you
knew he was a super talented player, but he would, he was kind of failed, I suppose,
the team you've played on previously where those structures, those systems weren't really able to fully utilize him. And then you're going into this line of suddenly, then you had, you know, an extremely tenured in game leader. You've got like really solid individuals with lots of experience.
experience player like in
Moldova is like a mega talent.
So they had all of the pieces
to be able to make these runs
at big events, and they've
managed to get all this big
event experience for us. A pain
has been a lot more choppy in
terms of that. You know, some
roster issues here and there
as well, plaguing them, you
know, issues with getting all
the scrims as well was kind
of playing them. The
preparation wasn't great. So
I feel like this is the year
of pain now that we're
seeing this roster that
they've put together and how
promising they look. I do
and NQZ. NQZ has been great for pain in most of the instances we have seen.
Molo doi, I wanted to say has sometimes gone missing for Furia, but I think if they've had
a difficult game, it's easy to look for the loudest guns to say like, oh, where's that?
But really the whole team struggling. So I'm not sure what to make of that. I wouldn't
say like he's gone missing sometimes when the rest of the team hasn't. I think
if he's not having a good game, the rest of the team generally aren't either. I would say he's pretty consistent when things are going
right way for Furia and is often instrumental in those big difference makers.
So we can see what the map pool has looked like for these squads in the last three months, how much they've been playing
and what. So ancient is not popular with these two squads, I think it's better to say.
I think one of the biggest
disparities that we'll really
see banned out, perhaps by pain
is the Dust 2. And to be fair,
as well, you know, Fury has been
looking pretty nice on Dust 2
overall, so I probably would
want to maybe get rid of that.
But other than that, you know,
the ground is fairly even. You
can see that, you know, pain
has had a lot of success on
Inferno. I'd be curious if
Fury would be interested in
taking them on there. Fury's
Inferno did look very nice
against Rook yesterday. That
was the map that kind of
spot here where once again you know both teams in a position to fight for their lives and
yet we're gonna actually get in front of picked by pain so that's gonna be a really really
fun starting map both teams looking good there does to is definitely a spot where you know
pain could potentially struggle against feria and then we get perhaps a absolutely bangin
decided on mirage which is a map which is a map that statistically inform wise looks
pretty even honestly so I think we've got a really good setup here James.
I'm very interested to see what the mid to late round looks like on all the maps
of this series because I think that both these squads have similar ideas in that respect. And
I think again, the amount of times they've played each other as well, it's going to be,
it should have all the ingredients for a quite a curious derby. I think the mind games will be
very interesting. I wonder if he'll be brazen peaks in aggression that breaks deadlocks between
these squads, we shall see what that mid-to-laner looks like. We begin on Inferno paying a heavy
underdog in this series.
Well, here it is, round number one at the pistol. Up Inferno in the T side of paying
gaming looking to barrage into this a bomb size. Molodoy on the angle has got Yuri there
in the boiler. Yuri is either going to be looking great here or it's going to be a bit
of a difficulty because he's got the door, he's going to get shut down straight away.
Does a decent job getting one at least, but Keisar Rato has been corona top the balcony.
Got pops before he even rounded the corner through the wall with a Glock on a pistol round
is crazy work, you kinder and fallen remain so many angles. Even without that graveyard
space, there'll be plenty for the teams to do. Last one spotted and period will collect
your kinder as well. That's the start they wanted. Vocal already are pain.
And they they're a team with great energy. I love I love the just the characters that
we have on the pain gaming team. I think that's one of the reasons why they've
been such a great team to watch for me. Obviously the addition of VSM has been really, really
cool to see, not just from the fragging, because he's an incredible rifler and gets all these
multi-frags as great at anchoring, but also clearly provides some jolly vibes to the team.
So it's going to be a forced buy for Fury and now James, three players for them on
the B site early, and you can never put it past them to win a round like this
on Inferno.
What do pain do when the smoke goes on banana? They have to expect shenanigans from the CTs.
And again, this is where the mind games come through, and the Flash on B waits for aggression
from Payne.
They know to not do it too early.
So how do you Payne bait this utility out before they choose to make a play?
That's the question.
If Furia are expecting a slower, maybe a fair amount of presence, but ultimately a
a slower push. How long does it hold this utility for?
Great chip damage. This makes the pistols much more dangerous.
And it just takes a lucky couple initial connections,
and this could all fall flat on its base.
Pain, looking to make their way through the smoke kit,
looking quite scary. The exchange of bullets
through the unseen positions behind the smoke
is not looking too bad here for Furia.
to the site, but how much more
damage is possible with the
reposition and the fake the
Yuri's on the site. It's a
common position, but the
desperation sets in. They can't
check everything. They just
don't have enough time. Wow.
It's crazy immediately. No one
keeping the options open over
on that a bomb set. I think
crazy immediately. No one keeping the options open over on that a bomb site. And I wonder
snows pushed through the smoke. I wonder if it was if part of in part it was a risky play
to just see how many CTs were there or something. But again, pain are a team who are ready
for the late plays and have been quite prepared in the matches we've seen of them, but have
certainly fallen apart here. I mean, if we look at the utility just deployed by
By Furia and the pace of that utility on Banana, that those HGs that hit every time.
It seems that it had paint number from the get-go, maybe striking some fear into paint,
but if you play scared, make it easier for your opponent to overwhelm you.
You wonder if that might have happened there.
Again, that wasn't a plan B, that was more of a plan E. Rotating over towards A.
No luck, no presence, no idea, no time.
CT's with that deep banana control. Makes it really hard for paying here.
Normally, leaving you can do that deep and showing Fallen, like Fallen can.
can, you're like hey look at me I'm over here you know and that often you think
what the CTs are doing now by this timing is you think they have one player
half-full. So the setup here for Fiora is to basically trick Paine into coming
into your Kindar so you can get a bunch of free kills and you know the
question is whether Paine really is going to fall for that and there's
another smoke deep from Fallen. Now they could, that could be the moment
where they run past the smoke if they think it's just Fallen here but they
don't seem to be thinking about trying to play timings there, they're just really wasting
out all the utility.
20 seconds, just the one flashball, period. And they start to stream in. They may have
a numbers advantage for the time being. We'll see if Monobloy can continue to pin these
numbers out, doing a good job. Okay, Serato's there as well. Very important play.
for the squad case Serato. Limiting the bleeding, denying the bomb plants.
Do you wonder if there if there is some fear for pain playing Furia?
Maybe one of the few teams that may rattle the cage of pain. Again, they've been very impressive.
Not the only Brazilian core that has been impressive at this event, but does the shadow of fury
allume large for pain?
The question only they can answer.
Well though he's getting a bit of a savage here James, he's going in for the money,
he wants to make the money.
He's a go getter.
I have always a capital that you can invest it into the AWP, it's a good investment, I
hear.
Sean, a CT side of Inferno.
I don't seem to say Stonks anymore.
Can't think of what the popular bingo is now.
But yeah, Stonks has come and gone.
You last chance for Mailbag for the B-Stream people.
If you want unlicensed, unregulated advice
and put B-Stream in the title.
And we'll offer you, we'll give you the best
that is available.
Finest, unlicensed, unregulated advice.
Finest advice.
If you know to give advice,
and sometimes the advice is well received.
But it's looking like it's going to be a great start here for Furia in 3-1.
South of Molledoy, it's placing up on the short side of A there and pain, you know, now it's
going to be interesting to see kind of, you know, what is a, what, how do they want to
begin the default?
So a bit of challenge on Banana early, nothing too committed.
And the CTs are making it, making it look like it's more of an A stack at the start
of the round, you know, no presence on B. They've had a lot of Banana presence
in the previous rounds, so that should make Pain think, okay, this is kind of easy, but
in reality we get a retake play that this is the counter from the CTs. This is the plan,
and the bait the T's in. Won't be on the half wall just yet, so no casual T's on the
Pain side just yet here, James. But it does feel like big control from Furia, and that's
That's a nice HE frag found on Banana.
Yeah, seems that the surprises on Banana may be limited.
Poor Pain.
Let's look at the, like, every HE is doing colossal damage on Banana.
Every single one.
They are just getting lit up.
like Christmas trees before they've even seen anyone 500 HP furia and look at pain
This is bananas 20 seconds remain
I didn't know they've seen a single person yet where the 22nd mark is not a surprise for a case or other
But again your kinder life is so much easier for him with all that hg utility damage that has come through for furia
This is two rounds now. I mean it's devastating. It is devastating. Every single one is connecting
like a plug all the way in the socket.
To be honest, UK really are the best country. Look, it's landed on his head.
Yeah. It does feel like pain are going a little too slow because you know, if you
area, or even as a pretty specific type of map. In a way, they shouldn't be able to do
on the CT side, and normally, if they seem a little bit taken angle in mid, you would
expect to see pain or a T side try to force the CTs to react by taking top mid control,
taking apart this control, you know, then you maybe go into a significant pressure towards
top banana. And the timings on top on banana are kind of weird right now, so I think
it does make sense in the next buy-arounds for pain to try to focus on getting top
mid control perhaps first to simplify the banana take timings and and then stop you know being in in
furious kind of you know as we as we were calling it recently like the washing machine or the vortex
where fury are kind of dictates or conditioning you basically and sort of being able to massively
exploit that. Smoke is getting fisted in ways you'd need a VPN to see in the UK.
Even on T-Ramp he's still eating nades. That's the bomb spotted and swatted, dropped.
That's going to slow down the rotation, which is grateful Furio over towards B,
and leaves these players on an island for pain. Snow lurking looking for revenge on
banana but again that bomb is far gone this is utter domination that we're
seeing from fury of the spark cosmetic damage on banana my words on banana
air strikes on T ramp still recipients of a strikes what is the answer and this is
this is the problem they like these teams these two teams on the T side can
have similar pacing we know that Spain can change the pace as well we saw an
example of that in an overtime match on Mirage I forget the opponent but they
They caught them completely off guard, changing the pace in overtime, but as far as normal time
is concerned, they liked that slower pace, but Furia, kind of, it feels like they wrote
the book and has made pain somewhat outfoxed for now on that T side.
No solutions to the abuse they are receiving from Furia.
Again, if you just took a screenshot of how much damage they had taken before they
We have seen a player for Furia. It was crazy on Banana. I don't know how they solved that, though.
I guess we'll find out as the rounds progress, but I'm being told by JNC in production that
the Kindle already has 380 HE damage. Okay, well, I had another 40, so that is a 400 HE damage.
And then in the case of R2 there's around 150 HE damage, so yeah, you're right.
The damage is extreme, we're in six rounds in.
The interesting thing is, does this force pain to play out of their comfort zone?
Does it force them into a pace they didn't intend?
It feels like Furia have been setting the pace in these rounds and pain have just
been trying to find a way around it. I think they like to change the pace when they are
in control but they haven't been and maybe we've got one round of this game so far. Moladori
drops the bomb, carry up that's info that will help for them to consider a rotation.
This time though, Pain have their options open. They take top mid, they still have
snow towards B. Unfortunately, they lost a player to Molodoy. They obviously Molodoy
unharassed, able to not lose in flash strength and like half the angle. So easy kill for
him. But this is more kind of I think the tempo of the rounds that you'd expect. CT's
now forced to kind of play two to a side. They've got a flotre in spawn. But the
timings for pain are they're just too slow and they are going to be once again against
the clock.
They won't be able to check everything here. They can't even really make progress. Six
seconds to plot this bomb and it's just not looking possible. You can go out from the
back and he's going to take down the two forward players. And then there's nothing
left pain that the tempo James, they got to find some tempo. They got to they need
to raise the BPM.
Yeah, I think it's just the wrong team to have this pace against again because they are not in control the CTs are dictating where the fights take place.
And they have to go through fire to discover where those places are simple bait and switch so effective.
And again, I think with all that damage as well, it just makes those sprays through the smoke when you've got to cross that spray to get onto the site and want that.
just makes life so much easier and snow is gonna need a tissue soon because he is getting
wrecked every single round and I don't know how he's gonna keep it together.
change of pace here. I can take this hit banana, just keep it straight forward.
There's two players, so this is a good chance and in to the kill.
Onto Yikinder, falling his d2, so he's really at risk and he's going to get traded out.
So this is around that. Well, finally, look a lot better.
And while we're not getting that pick, makes this look a lot more difficult on the retake,
but the Cacerato has a full suite of utility.
Yeah, this HG and Molly could be somewhat amusing actually, especially if it goes towards
dark.
You kind of want to see it just the way they're lined up, one in the pool as well.
There's NQZ gone.
They're going to keep them spending or try to at the very least.
One of them will catch some of them departing.
Alright, well it's not unlikely round but again it's such a weird scenario because the scoreline
isn't as crazy as the domination in rounds has been, so who knows what the score's going
to look like at half time but that's an important round and I think at this point it doesn't
matter how you get that round, just get that damn round.
Now, there's much work to be done, there's a lot of CT money left for the remainder of
this half, so it is by no means going to be easy, no shortcomings in the U-Tilt or anything
here for the CTs.
All opting for helmets in round nine.
Again, they're just holding on to so many HE grenades, not dumping them at the beginning.
And it continues.
Like snow is a giant magnet and they're just throwing metal bombs at him, round after
round.
Oh my god. Shut it down. They're still nading him, even though he's dead. Ouch. It's just
are getting obliterated. Hey, well, there's not a lot to say about this round. This is
the problem, James, I think, right? We don't really have pain being successful in any sense
on their defaults. Any rounds to speak of, they got two, but if we think about the
recent one where they won it, it wasn't even a full buy round. It was around with
hodgepodge buy, they had an AWP in the back and it just rushed to be timing.
And that was one of the few rounds where Furia just didn't have the
I guess like the stack in the right site. And so that's not replicable, you know,
you can't really rely on that to produce more rounds. So I think what we're learning here is
that it's very much, or very likely the case that Furia might finish this half-tenth at least.
They are being eaten alive by Furia nice
You're going by the number two in the world. Yeah, they came into this one angry
After deflating performances of late
But this is this is entertaining from that point of view as well. I mean
It's like, oh, you want to play a similar style to us.
I think we'll see who's better at that.
And it's just a bit savage thus far.
Miss occasion, but honor is abandoned.
Snow is in the middle of mid.
Snow's safe.
It's got a fair chance of having 100 HP for another 10 seconds at least.
that will make a change from the nine rounds that have preceded this one.
Good spot, period. Sights, once again. Pain.
Unable to break their way forward.
There's just a nice warm-up for Furia so far.
And I gotta say though, James, you know, if we think about Furia vs Pain vs...
against Furia vs Heroic yesterday, is...
One of the main reasons why I think you're gonna see more awake Furia or more deadly one,
because we know their ceiling is insane, right?
Thank you. So, yeah, actually, is he trying to make this doable?
Won't be too with a Tec-9. I mean, I've seen...
crazier things happen and another frag here onto your Kindar.
Now suddenly puts NQZ in an interesting position, he's got the bomb and he's gonna be able to plant that one, so Fallen with 31 HP.
I think it's a Tec-9, is there an upgrade?
No upgrades, that's easily collectable and NQZ is gonna do the immediate wrap into the apartments.
And we'll Fallen with all of his experience, read what's going on.
It's like NQZ, maybe a bit better of it.
Fallen is looking for him, he was checking for that apartments play, now he's spotted NQZ.
And it's just an awkward one and another very crazy round that is the result of pistols rushing
aside. Yeah, and it's crazy how much breathing space these rounds give them. Annoyingly, because
Fallen's only got 30 HP, it's like an impossible scenario, even with the smoke because the
lineup is so simple. Just along the wall, I mean, he's doing it with star bones in
easy but along the wall and you're gonna find the CC basically as long as you don't plant
a bomb on the corner or something. So highly unlikely rounds being won here by pain and
all the ones that make sense, they are just getting launched into space, into space debris.
It'll be a relief when this half is over I think. This is the pick of pain as well.
So yeah, they are feeling the pain and then some, I don't think there's any tonic for
these boys in this half of Inferno.
It has been a brutal one, but I have enjoyed living vicariously through the brutality
that Furia have been offering, especially with their utility.
We'll see if it continues in round 11.
They will still have money for round 12.
Even if things go wrong here.
The coverage coming in here from the furious side, controlling the flow players.
And Molotov is in a really solid position now.
And it's very hard for them to find their way to break this.
And sometimes in Util they have one smoke on NQZ,
but it feels like Molotov is in such a strong position.
It takes a whiff for them to gain some ground there, but still, it feels very hard for them to progress into the site.
Now, B might be thinking that that looks better.
But just looking for that library player, it is just great timing here from Fallen.
He really has found the perfect timing.
And that's 8-3 on the board now for Furia, as they're looking at a very, very solid CT half of Inferno.
No drama here.
You can dart with 490 utility damage. Those are big enough numbers to make a graphics
card. Absolutely ridiculous for one half of Counter Strike. You can see the griefing
grenades we left in spawn. This has been, someone used to make a YouTube video about
this half like it's just been nutty. All the utility, monodoy, taking liberties as well.
Everybody running, warm to heart for Furia. Pain living a nightmare on the first half
of Inferno okay so we've got the topping on the control here for it looks like they
want to contest this lucky to keep that they damaged raining in if you fight
proficient at this half of that and there's still some more and more need to be done, but what is the skill in them?
It's just straight up having a jumping M4 fall in place.
Five. Oh
My god, what a ridiculous half and that is a fantastic way to end it. I don't know what else there is to be said
Just watch the action. It's crazy
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
up the series against their Brazilian rivals in pain and I mean pain they just seemed a
little bit lost on some of the timings on that first half but perhaps on the second half
in the CT side it will change the dynamic here for them as they look for a strong start
here in the pistol and already getting some contact on banana.
Yes, a great test for pain for the long run.
You need to change gears.
What can you do on the fly?
It's snow's not having a good day, is it?
Here, you don't like snow.
Prefer a warmer climate, apparently.
Now, Spheria's turn to step the pace, but the air feels thicker with Spheria on that T side.
Oh, just a one tap.
Two pistol still fire, just a one shot.
Lovely stuff from Peria.
Four on four, all to play four, 50 seconds on the clock.
Peria showing some presence. NQZ trying to play off of that, but it's fallen to make it four on three.
I'm going to take something pretty marvelous, that's a nice start from Bigger Zero pops
one head but there's more to find, BSM still working his way through Boiler here and Bigger
It's just kind of a low you said. I'm sorry library
Do you have period very very weak from boiling up finally applying the pressure onto the pit player period able to hold down fall and and
It's gonna be enough time here just about for the defuses very very close. It's very very close. Oh
My goodness that was that was closer than I thought Jake's
Yeah, very key very key again as as much of a nightmare as the first half was
It's over. That wasn't a good start though. That was like it. Like he was caught sleeping.
It was a bizarre first frag and a pistol round but um maybe he'll wake up now.
Let's see then. You can see KSW is like well this could have been a quick game.
Maybe it'll be three times longer now.
That bomb plant there will be a force by for furia
For inglaids again
It's no playing for a he's like man. I'm having no parts of this bigger zero you can go top it on up
Good start like the follow up he she as well as much as case or us who looks for opportunity
right towards long and there is no vision top mid currently for pain
I'll keep three players over towards 8. Now Fury will try to bundle into this B
bomb site snow possibly in trouble back on the oranges but down he goes
fallen barbecue bomb plant on the way there's that big oh that HG does not
not land far enough.
Three, takes down one and this is looking like it's getting a little bit more difficult
to pain.
It's trying to move that way forwards and Cacerato dancing, lost into the edge of the
smoke and it's actually a perfect reposition, but no, because they're able to take down
Cacerato.
And now suddenly there's pressure on the plants, quick tap here and there from Yuri, but this
stick is coming in. It's going to be so close. He's having to hold it, hold it to success
pain just by the skin of their teeth. He's in the matrix. Where did those bullets go?
I don't know. Tech nine, no less. Perfect tool for the job. Just not making any connection
whatsoever that's bananas and again that keeps pet that that's another lifeline
for pain as well and that's gonna be frustrating for furia again as far as
you're paying the concern doesn't matter how you do it as long as you do it
that factor bigger zero was crazy I'm sure he came out looking at towards
Paul maybe he's looking towards the the bomb itself as Paul was barbecued anyway
We need one place surviving for the CTs, Furia smell opportunity, and we'll go for another
force.
Your rifles on this occasion fallen.
We'll find the info for Yuri to trade.
So in early 4 and 4, minute 24, Furia, they're all here onto the A bomb site as well.
So it may be a faster one for them, they're not trying to go for it if they're in position.
And Kazeela, oh you looked away from a flash and still managed to find the frag, but
The trade, of course, will be here for Furia.
Yeah, it's looking really nice now in terms of this setup for Furia on the site.
How is Fingerseret still going to get back in here?
We smoke a fresh one!
It's nice and fresh.
Yeah, forced to save.
It makes a lot of sense.
Unfortunately, given that Furia's active HP is quite low,
But, you know, I think Xera, he wants an extra kill if possible, but he'll actually find an exit, Frank.
Yeah, I don't know how likely that is, but I mean, hey, these players are pretty low.
Are they going to go towards CT? That's quite smart.
A lot of catching up for pain to do, as if it's their pek of Inferno, let's not forget.
That's nuts. Maybe it should have been worse. Or the CT squad.
Furno Dust 2 Mirage
So pain will keep a buy-in, the utility will be key
We can't remember being so much util in a round
So much effective util
by a CT side before a T-Side has seen a single person.
That's a high-rider.
Crazy, what we saw from Furia in that first half.
Helding onto most of their utility at this point.
Okay, Serato, it's his turn to eat the shrapnel,
but they've got a lot of their own junk to throw towards B.
I think we smoke there.
Oh my God!
In the face!
This doesn't stop, does it?
These guys!
They're abusive.
H.E.s.
Say someone should call the police on them, but they are the police.
smoke at 42 seconds there so if you really decided to go back in it's gonna be a late
one but you can rotate back to top mid now and you set up towards a oh boy what's that
there's one smoke on NQZ actually you could try to smoke off short or towards the site
yeah you can do that I've made a terrible mistake they just eaten the hook line and sink up
Everything Furia have offered oh, okay period a third would have been incredible do is team go for this
two on three
With an MP7 and snow on 45 HP. Oh, it's oppressive
Furious seems to have pained number by a very tall degree
She saw them starting to move over towards a pain had vision towards top mid
seeing nothing the timing I mean it's so one-point they start rotating off
banana the third man heads towards B there's nothing happening on a surely it
must be B there is the lie from Furia
you know the yeah the biggest kill in this rounds for me was the one on TV
I think if the ESM wins this battle against Yuri, then the ESM gets a gun upgrade, just holding on to the apartment's position.
The Imperial comes in and gets a 2K, in addition to, I forget who it was on the site that was defending with them,
but suddenly you've got a round that's more favourable positionally for the pain.
Sometimes, that's kind of the interesting thing with Counter-Strike is how impactful these single kills can be in rounds.
And I'm going to get a timeout coming in from Payne, that's the third one, three of three.
Facts against the wall here and...
It's going to change. The thing for me here in the series as well, I mentioned it at the top of the show too.
I don't think Fury ever want to allow a team from their region to defeat them.
I think there's so much inherent motivation to not allow that to happen no matter what.
That you're going to get, whenever you play Fury, if you're paying, you're always going to get...
I mean it was going to get like a very very difficult game to win.
Yeah, they need to ego you.
Animatistic dominance.
Oh boy. There will be a third over towards D for this round. A scout for Big Azirah.
A scout on Inferno. You know, he's spoken a lot in Unite about the scouts over these
days over these games and we've seen some nice rounds with it. Three or four
different players. Galton Inferno though, for me, is especially difficult to be
effective with. I just love the pacing of these nades as well.
It is satisfying. I'm satisfied by the grenade destruction you'll see.
Oh, then he's going to be peering over the top of the boxes.
He's going to get his head blown off.
What happens, you are exposed in such a way.
And a pain of a really nice, good setup here to defend this B site.
But of course, that's not in a very important position as he will be isolated from his teammates
by the HGs. The boost will be helpful, but we have to expect that T-Side Fury will be looking for this coming on through, period.
Oh my god, he gets one just barely, but the reaction time is so quick.
Oh!
1v2.
See ya later!
Fair amount of space for Yuri, and a very good chance at 1v1 versus the SMGs also.
If they know where he is, then they can go for the big swings.
Without it. Ah, he's going past the angle. He's looking towards CT already to NQZ. We'll have the better end of that one
He's like, oh man, I had that I had that one
Pain will remain
This is this is gonna be the hardest of hard work for pain we've seen them
Mount some comebacks have some great rounds, but you know
Meet the challenge of many a team here at ESL pro league, but
This is easily by far their biggest test, just the sheer domination in these rounds is
something else.
By 5-3, going into calibres now.
Yeah, you don't want Mollardoy throwing nades.
No, no, no, no.
Apparently you don't want to Kindor or Kacerotto throwing nades either.
These guys were hacking up the damage in the first half like crazy on that B site.
Because they were survived. They survived.
Everyone's blind! But you can do a slightly less blind.
They got to go for it.
Straight through. Oh, he saw where he was as well.
But the numbers are here. And maybe they could do something about it.
Snow could be in trouble. Flash won't come far enough, fast enough.
Yuri's spotted one on the rotation now, and that's gonna slow Pirias...
Gonna slow Pirias down, I mean.
We've got only NQZ towards this B bomb site.
Pirias got a waste time looking, oh and Yuri makes no assumptions, he's hurt him now.
He's got the sound cues.
So he knows that there's almost definitely nobody but Ana.
It'll be three of us towards B for pain before Fury up.
Piria has a kit and he was the one who's going to be late on the rotation. So again, they've just been invited
Close enough to lose everything they're carrying and not much more by fury up
perfect ingredients for another devastating round
Periodist, they're just hitting right now. They are. OH! Ready to go?
I've seen some really awesome ults from snow and multi-frags across the many days of EPL
so far. But this infotainment just doesn't look like it's it right now for pain.
rounds of deficit. It's trying to go aggressive with the scout, it's a nice connection almost
on bed. The fall in is still standing. There's a scary round actually with some chip damage
done that enables these pistols to kind of go crazy.
It's tenderizing them.
Yeah, he's got the food mallet. He's beating the meats.
I think to extend the wall of smoke on B.
Do quite enjoy watching the Furia tea sides.
I always love me some Jane tea sides. You know, too many of them in a short space of time.
It can be a bit mind-numbing, but the pace and construction of the fury arounds I think
is just like so difficult to deal with when they're playing well.
That smirk is surely going to be perfect for VSS.
Thank you Zee who's doing the heavy lifting now and he's been dropped 16 seconds with
Bigazir and he's staying alive.
Snow can come through library and do something for him, barbecued by your kinder.
And Snow will do what he can, but there is just about time to get that bomb planted.
Clinical from Furia.
Using a time afforded to them, there's so much time there to...
make decisions.
And they will secure that final round.
A utterly devastating game of Inferno from the beginning to the end by Furia.
Pain will be left as a loss for words after that one.
The Gabby's here. Yeah. But you often think the gap's going to be a long, right? Because
That's like the first guy to rotate
Where twist is isn't really a position you should go sprinting out of?
Trusting in your b-hole right now. Too long he's in a smoke.
I think Yabi just dies thinking he's got more room than he does
That's exactly what happens twist saves their life
Nothing from the lurk
So it's down to the b-hit three players out through the mouth of banana
No one actually in the site
It's carrying it floating around at the coffins to strike another from the tally just down to two phase
If you can win this, that's one thing. If you can keep it squeaky clean, that's another.
That's going to give them even more staying power on-ring to this comeback, but that option's out the window with a killback.
It's on a Hoopsy. 1v4, nearly the lineup, nearly won't cut it. It's 6 for FaZe. Gap continues to close.
Are you starting to believe now, Hugo?
I think I'm buying in, which might be fatal early.
and they have the royal flush on CT side or they can if someone just drops over
and off to Drowkey. If you want it I mean this is... there it is, half pile of swords and yeah
we do have the royal flush, four AKs and an AWP on the CT side.
The foot bearded mixture.
Eternal stew.
Oh, and the early casualty that you have to stomach just like that.
Oh, the native face.
Oh, foosie.
Oh, you okay, bro?
What's going on there?
I think he was unhappy about that grenade.
He's just going to pop them through the mid-smokes.
They need to get eaten to it.
He's going to flash between the middle.
Boom. Broke, he's got vision, though, so we ensure it's a Jacob, Jacob, got a knock.
I didn't get it.
He's getting up in through the HE, though.
It would have been mad damage, and something along the side.
They're too late. Open the line, through the smoke, into arch.
Oh, no, this is how it crumbles. Broke, you just need something to stem the bleeding,
and that will do.
Was he bumped into a wall or something?
I'm frozen going to try and play this late.
The teammates are on the rotate down through mid, twists would be next to arrive.
We need some output from Frozen, there's the first, pistols in front of him and he turns into dust.
Dill dealing with that wrap out through the spawn well, our phase clan.
And no more Dillie Dallying from Raga, he takes that last time out early in the second half.
Chugging that energy drink because he... Oh! This is tightening up!
9.3 half pistol converted gunround locked in anti-eco avoid the devastation phase coming in
phase they're like the opposite of the fairies from Peter Pan you know they're not powered by
belief it's actually when you give up on them that's when they're real how am I doubt you know
9.3 is just really like an 11 for how the old you saw 11 for combat you can see this is
This is what Kerrigan was talking about, pre-ancient.
This guy in K, called Hooksie, is very prone to tilt.
They're all tilting now. They're all frustrated.
And I think that's why Rugged takes the time out more than anything else.
He feels the frustration of his players.
Look at this, look at this. If you're already frustrated, this is how you get broken.
This is just run down middle, takes out an early frag,
already the pressure applied, your B players cannot return.
You're on the stairs, you don't want to lose the bomb.
Oh no.
Flash through though.
Twist does eat it.
Nice work from Hoocsy.
Little self-flash smoke push.
Twist is really trying to dodge this.
Flashes.
I think it was a CT flash that got him first.
And then Hoocsy right click the smoke.
I'll say it is a solo team flash.
Ooh.
We hate those.
We do.
On a fan, Nick doesn't connect.
Broke here alone at this people on site.
The rotates come through.
They've seen the orb.
Does that put the fear in Astralis?
Starts to get real nervous, Ruki starts hitting them flakes.
This is a good call.
No matter that it doesn't seem like it's going to end up being the right one for this round.
But from a macro perspective of the game, like phases in a situation where
you know, they can start building up some economy, they put some pressure on Astralis.
Going quick. Look at me go.
Shouldn't be retakeable, but yeah.
It's a couple of seconds too fast. It feels like
They get this kill
Nothing's possible. Fuzi's tucked in. They've got to clear this corner.
Carrigan does not. Jacob needing something. Fuzi denies
Any hope left for face, but they're still going in. They're still giving it a look.
A 2 vs 3 in this post part should be unwinnable.
Molly's collected. Four throws in.
But it's brokey. The one that's in the firing line is a pressure him together.
They get past the AWP.
Too many misses.
Frozen Khan Hakir and that is Astralis breaking through.
FaZe sacrificed everything attempting that 4 on 4.
Well, initially I thought it was good,
but what they ended up doing was pretty bad.
I mean, I thought in the end they could have played Contain, right?
Like, okay, sort of concede the round,
but if you manage to get all of Astralis on the way out,
like, okay, then it's 10-7 for them,
but they have a really weak buy.
You have everything you want.
If you get the reset, I mean, you were at 10-9, basically.
What would Jane do, you know?
Would definitely post his op at the bottom of Banana,
or at least CT, so they can't fall back that way,
and then the rifles would be set up in Banana,
so they can't fall back that direction either.
Now it's FaZe on the rocks.
One slip.
And even like it went so fast for that top Banana clear,
it could have taken your time a bit more,
maybe use some utility or even if not like just that your presence there put
some pressure on them and then if they make a mistake you can go for the
retake if they don't you just scale back play for the exits and save your guns
they indeed feel like one or two seconds made over the influence from
astronomers on that hit that decisive execute that's given them double digits
the first round of the half we're talking about like 20k plus in
equipment value that they just flushed down the toilet.
Let's be realistic here, if Astrolis win this round, they're probably eliminating
FaZe from ESL Pro League. This is the most important one. Broke he has found a pick for.
And yet that line, keep going, Broke. Keep going. You know you want to.
And they're just peeking into an old town.
Yeah, it's a better line for Hooksie here.
Yeah.
Rush knows.
Believe in yourself, Rush. Believe in yourself.
I mean, the pressure is obviously to be the one to make a move though, right?
Like you have the long wrap taking shape. Stan's going to be the guy trying to get around this corner.
That'll get broke.
And he chains together a multi-kill. Now Yabi arrives from the long side.
Guns get on it in time and FaZe bite back.
This is where Raga would really like to have another timeout, because that's just
tilting in a way also, they can see why it's Hooksy all of a sudden like running around and making all the rifle and making all that noise and
you know, it's just
Looks kind of whack. They were out long behind phase and Hooksy wanted to change off the orb that he just picked up
to try and help out his team
So that move that gives over the two kills
and alerts phase to the flank they're back in they've broken the strollers
down to pistols can't lose to these ones after all those successful gun rounds
you want to make sure you keep a tight CT defense flash he was ready ah this is
roaming he's doing what he's what is required to do and see if it rather
uncertain as to where he's most required
It's like a mid-bracket pop, synchronized flashbangs get them up, and ooh, a miss shot from Broke,
you've got a second guessing that, but he's going to be enough to slow them down on the
short side, investigating Long, that's a question for twists.
Oh, it's the headshot cleanly, now Broke is taking past.
This is perfect.
I didn't know about Hoocsi.
Oh no.
He came as a real nasty surprise, looking at Jacob now down here in the pit, all
picked up over on Long.
You know he tried to trade off that AWP in the last round.
Well, this time it's all he's got to work with.
Jacob continues to be an issue.
Xe will rein him in.
Time is good.
Stay kept.
Bomb has been planted.
Tricky clutch, especially with this lurksmog lobbed in,
the idea that they could be creeping through,
they could be in the site.
Spam from the long side keeps Xe's interest
on this position.
It's all the hope that it pulls the attention away
from Karrigan on this flank.
I'm working against FaZe.
Half the bomb timer ticked away.
Leg on the orb, and that's not enough to seal the deal.
A one-round game is upon us.
As FaZe's CT side is standing the test.
Thank you, sir, to the halftime.
No matter who wins, it's going to be 13-11.
And right now, after a 9-3 half, it's the very least.
The test of time met, perhaps over, we'll see.
From 8.0 to 10.9.
Oh, Brockey is just like, one on one, man.
What's he doing, pulling out the USP and wanting to chase the guy that he saw down in Connector?
Like, just leave him for your teammates.
He dies to the far back guy with the Galil, and I mean...
There was a chance for FaZe to lose that round.
Just keep it calm.
phase off you come back it's for sure they are rabid
charge back
as promised they've had a couple of B executes but this time it's stacked
Good time to achieve for those of the half-walled big damage.
That one's going to leave a mark.
Still doesn't look like it's going to deter them. They're going to be going for a commitment into the three-man stack sign.
They're going into the stack. The read here for FaZe anticipated to be hit.
Extra resources available. Brokey's all claiming the first. Stair did make it behind enemy lines.
Broke he tapped out as well. It's Karagin
like, wait, they can't match him.
Massive hat-trick from Stare
and phase with an awkward decision to make.
Out of position, two on three.
They call for the save.
Stare, the savior of Astralis in this round.
Yeah, but in a massive way.
How has he got three there?
And the angle he found onto Broke, he was beautiful.
Peaking back into him further away from the angles
could see him sticking out like a sore thumb.
I'm not sure if Kerrigan smoked himself in the new box.
Yeah, because he's supposed to sort of ideally watch Pool from new box,
so that when Frozen goes from CT, he doesn't have to worry about his right.
He can just focus on people that are coming through from Banana,
and then Broke adjusts his sort of the safety dive as the third player in the bomb site.
But Kerrigan perhaps because of the smoke to extinguish the Molly,
Molly can't really hold that for Frozen and then he only gets the one before he gets traded by Stair.
Yeah, there's that smoke, so Stair is able to get deep into the pool.
Kargan alive.
Good call.
I know what they're up against in this B bomb site.
This is also now the final buy for FaZe.
Really in a way, final good one at the very least.
No AWP, MP7 on Kerrigan.
It's only the most important round of the game.
Rugger used that full time out.
FaZe call, but...
And the tech passed.
That's what we all wanted.
That's the sound we all want to make when we see it.
The expectations were set Hugo, you just struggle accepting them.
I've just been too used to the two eyes on the smooth, the smooth, no text, nothing, nothing, you're wrong.
I know, the fun bunch, welcome to the cursed bunch.
Oh, foosie, plugging in that integrity cap.
Yeah.
Welcome back to the ESL Pro League. And these two squads, both Brazilian, mostly Brazilian I suppose, with Furia against Paine, they are looking to survive.
No one wants to get eliminated today. And although we saw, I see some yawning there from, from Fallen, definitely a lot more awake than yesterday.
They were firing off on Inferno. Map 1 was a decisive victory for Furia, and moving into Map 2,
it's going to be tough for Payne here, James, because this has been one of the maps from what we've witnessed.
It's been a pretty steady and stable one for Furia.
A rare P2000. In the hands of Bigazera.
Best to have a Scorpion or whatever it was called.
Anyway. Hurry up, waiting.
Oh, there's so many coming at once.
Snow, the top victim of Inferno looks to have a very different day here on Banana.
There's no on Banana, on Dust2Rain.
There's no utility for this retake.
It's just going to have to be snow going in to create some space, but that space will in fact be a vacuum.
It'll all be squashed together. BSM and Bigazera remain.
I don't know if it's going to work out for them, Dan.
It's unlikely to work out for them.
I mean, look at that.
What are you going to do?
Tell me, what are you going to do?
You've been absolutely mugged.
All right, so Dan, we have a...
Once again.
We have a mailbag we have a mailbag from the hydro who says hey Bart off in DDK
What is your most memorable slash favorite moments of casting pro counter strike together?
Also great to have you guys back behind the mic the iconic BBC DDK duo is what got me into CS
Jenny a first I don't know if this is a good time or not for that. You can get first if it is
Let's see, there'll be an eco round, so we'll use the time to think about our most memorable,
respective most memorable slash favourite moment of casting procs counter-strike together
and in the meantime, we can watch the CTs die. They don't have position really, I mean
big VSM is over towards long. I don't know if I'll pick one. Because you know, Boston
Major would be an easy one to pick as a big, like a big moment. But then there's other
I really enjoyed MLG actually, but let me just see what happens with this bomb bomb.
Alright, so it's hard to have one favourite moment I think, but so if I'm going chronologically,
I think when we went to MLG, the MLG major was the first time I just felt like there was
a festival feeling just in the air.
And I think Columbus is a great place for that as well because the main area where you
might congregate isn't like the biggest area.
You call it the short north.
I remember we walked down the street there and we saw a fan holding a giant printed
picture of my head. She also had a picture of Panzee's head as well. Shout out to Panzee,
but I mean the whole just feeling of that event was the first time for me in Counter
Strike where we had that big major festival feeling around an event and it just felt
like I just had that feeling throughout the entire thing and of course we had great
moments during the event as well. But that big festival feeling of like, oh this is
special, but different to other special events. That was the first time I had a feeling like that.
So I would say in terms of moments, well, actually, you said casting,
probably counts twice together. So I guess that's not quite, I mean, it's related to casting.
I feel like the whole event from before it started to build up during afterwards, I remember
everybody was in, like the after party was in one place. I remember there was some
found who tweeted me and they weren't allowed in. So I left and went across the road and went to
like a bar with them and just hung out with some random people, which I think is always,
always fun. As long as the people you're not hanging out with are so wasted and just like
there's saliva flying at you. That's happened to me at the after party at Antwerp at some
drunk ride looking at me. There's saliva flying everywhere, which is not what you want,
But yeah. So that's my first answer is M.R.G. Columbus, just the whole event, everybody who came to it, everybody who kind of added to the atmosphere.
And that is no time for Dan to answer, because it's going to be a bye round. I'm lucky Dan.
I was thinking about the entire time, but I'm like, I bet you talked to all the buddy.
Yeah, me. I do like him a lot.
So that's answer number one for me.
I'm going to go.
Yeah, maybe I'll get some
answers seven rounds. Okay.
We've got the post up from
Molladoy on along and it's
also some decent cap presence
coming out of bigger zero days.
He's peering or trying to get
some info in mid double smoke
stairs suggesting the mid
take because he is not buying
it. He is pot flash. So a nice
set up there to try to
extract a single kill, but that
set up is going to fail
initially. It's a fury now
they're going to go street
quite a lot at the moment. Not sure what to expect that they might go for info here and this will be
always posted so he would punish an info peek. That is exactly what he's here to do.
Oh, MQZ gets him though. And now what does Furia do? I mean it feels like they're fairly
you know bunched up at this point so either it's going to be here or that any other option is
to get cat control or go through mid. They're going to double down on to be here.
We've got that. Inquisitive push
from furious. They'll have
players. Trying to clear out
the bomb sites. Talk to waves
in that push to come in. What's
going on in the remainder come
through but also means that
many angles of compromise. Not
too bunched up, but they still
remainder of pain, but it seems that VSM is going to chill in the ramp of long and the
other two will do what they can. I mean, he's not moving. I wonder if he's got a connection
issue either way. See what the remainder will do. Tasterato will deal with them. It's
like being in school, standing in the corner and face the wall. I remember those days.
That was a good time for you to answer the question.
So for me, obviously, this is a question that I think you get asked a lot as a commentator.
And I started going with just sort of what is my immediate imagery, what's my immediate feeling?
I had a question and it was actually the MLG Columbus major as well.
And in terms of the casting moment, it was definitely the liquid versus
luminosity match on Mirage, obviously, whether you know, you got the cold moment and
everything, because obviously I had the privilege of like casting that moment. And it was such
an epic moment, but also it was a whole setup in the arena really made it because, and actually
some people might forget that also on the cast with us, James and I was actually threat,
because we've done an entire season of face it with him. And that's always been like
a good friend of mine. And so it was really nice to be able to cast it there such an
amazing moment and the eruption, like the noise like we were on the ground level,
We were very close to the stage, kind of in front of the audience, but very, very close
to them.
And you don't often get that much energy in a room, but it was almost unparalleled to
other experiences I've had.
So, yeah, Columbus emotionally jumps out instantly.
I was thinking of exactly the same thing for exactly the same reasons.
The same moment, threat being there, everything.
I was thinking of that as well.
I mean, I think, you know, different moments of Boston are also an easy answer.
And I'll definitely put them up there with my favorite moments.
But I did also think of that as like the non-obvious one for me.
Again, that was that was a great feeling.
It was a great thing to be a part of.
It was great having threat there with us doing that also.
And yeah, it was like the setup was was meant for a great mix of ingredients.
As you see in recent comps, it is hard to do having the commentators out there, not everybody can store the audio properly.
But it does make a hell of a difference as well. When you're behind the curtain, etc. it's like...
When the crowd can see you, you can really play with the crowd.
If you look at, there was a moment in the Boston Major final where the camera went to Guardian's wife, Guardian and Rain's wives, and the crowd was booing them, and it was like, Panto, you could just have so much fun with it.
It was like a wrestling moment, it was just shouting at the crowd, like, come on, you can't do that, why isn't it just did it even more, which is obviously the idea, you know?
So stuff like that can be quite fun.
The fat shot from Big Azira.
But position is compromised.
So yeah, when you're out there, you know, you can use your body language with the crowd.
I don't know what, I think it was Boston where I had some, some bananas at the desk and one of the people in the crowd was just shouting me, James, can you throw us a banana, banana?
And I did that.
That was fun.
But yeah, I would go to, I'd go to emoji Columbus.
It was such a good time.
While we still got time, if you want to send in something for the mailbag,
get it in while you can.
Because we're gone after this.
This is your last chance for ESL Pro League, at least as far as we are concerned.
See ya!
Well, Furia, they are just really not giving pain anything in this game, in this series.
It's kind of a rough one.
See what this round is going to bring. We've got Moladori on the AWP still, of course.
and QZ using also brandishing it up and you'll be on catwalk but you know we
know Furia we've watched quite a few of their games they love to just send it
be every so often and this time the opener is really powerful and there's
no one else to support the site it's being it's completely locked out in
fact pain might just have to just get this up here are five players alive
Yeah. How much do you want to lose if you are pain?
What Furio is saying?
You dare join the server against us?
It's interesting when you have these Darbys, these national Darbys, because I feel like it's so unique
I don't know how rich it is with information as it would be if it was two teams from different
regions because it's just a sheer level of familiarity, things to make for a unique scenario.
And again, this series is for survival.
These teams are both with a one-two record at present.
Seems like we may have another one-sided affair on our hands.
I gotta say, I think in all the series we watched at Pain,
I don't think I've already seen them get locked out this hard.
It usually is a case that they're able to make something happen, they can find some key individual plays at good timings,
to kind of keep themselves in the running, so that they're not really experiencing this level of just demoralization.
Because this is the most deflator I've seen them to.
And that's very unfortunate.
of hell gift or JPEG or whatever it is. The paint and wear on a t-shirt because that's
How bad the series is at the moment for them?
Here he has found out it's all a lie.
Oh, what a spot.
Do you ever expect a CT to be here at one 10?
I just don't think you do.
How far is very going to go?
Ah, oh, dear.
Awkward.
Important defense for Snow.
He gets, I think, the minimum there to make this round still somewhat doable.
Oh no!
Oh no!
Momodori coming in again, and he wants it.
He will die for his hubris, but VSM is on 7 HP.
He has an AK, so it just needs the 1 tap.
Now he knows where his opponent is, the big box position.
angle, but it's not going to connect the AK is not going to do what he needs it to do and another rounds
That's some promise is going to fall the pain
Well, I don't give a flying truck about what you're trying to do. He's nasty
There's a tag through the door before that shots
Timing is so unfortunate
Four pain, still round-less, snows had quite enough, second AWP and he will drop Molledoy
he's looking for more.
We've seen good things from Smohu in the past with the AWP as well.
He's finally at breaking points.
After all the violence, all the nades, all the oppression, he can't take it anymore.
No. Shut down your kinder there. Nice head shot. So the rounds, I mean, it's not a round,
round on the board for Payne at least. Now James, I have seen many Counter Strike games
that looks like this and then you get 5 rounds in a row for the CTs. I don't know if this
is going to be that game, but I think that's one of the reasons why everyone really enjoys
Counter Strike as a competitive game. All in all, he looks too joyful though. That's
a bad sign for pay. I mean, seven zero. Okay, so Rata is just he just wants the the stats
he wants to 10 for one. He's got 8k in the bank, they haven't lost the rounds. You could
go and just try to keep the CT spending. I think that makes a lot of sense in this scenario.
He's got to lose release in AK, which he can buy in the next round.
Snow's just...
Again, he's a man on fire now.
That was a nice round from him, but will it be a foot's note?
in an otherwise disappointed game of dust 2 or is there more to offer?
Nice little danger with that 8 HP
Putting his presence in mids, back to the B site for him, so mid is being voided for now.
Lurk smoke onto the B site as well is, it does feel pretty oppressive when you're in the
receiving end of it, it does feel kind of scary, you get a smoke in return.
And mid again completely voided so if we do get that B split smoke I'm curious what's
the reaction will be from pain if they just hold positions and gamble
or if they decide to bring a player down, which looks like NQZ is coming down here as well.
Let's double up, continue to work for them though.
The SM is all alone.
I mean, because Zero has a flash, but...
Maybe if he was in the pit DSM
You're more likely to
Throw it will they check this position absolutely they will
Looking to bait the player on the site, but he's been eliminated
30 seconds the bomb needs to cross
It's their utility for it. I don't think there is that's going to make things very awkward indeed
They've got four players or throw the bomb over and it has gone far enough
Now they can plant for long
What is there to be done snow and NQZ have a combined 14 HP and yet again they just have
to concede the rounds.
It sucks. It's all good feeling.
One thing is all I think for Furia that it's going to be a reason why you see more inconsistent
performances from some of those super top flight teams online is because if you've
got players in different rooms, when they're used to being bootcamps together, they're
used to being with each other in the same room or on stage together.
You know, these are environments where it really feels like the, you know,
the energy's there, right?
Whereas when you're kind of all isolated in your own room,
it's going to be a little bit more difficult.
And that's actually the reason why it's great to see the pain
not in that situation.
You know, they get to to be in the hotel playing with each other
in person.
Yeah, it makes a hell of a difference.
Like it really does cannot be understated.
Chain flashes will make periods life harder for him.
Oh, nowhere to go for snow.
I feel bad for him.
I do.
I would have sent him a card.
I don't know what the card would say.
At least you'd be thoughtful.
Ah, these are just the worst rounds.
3v4 reset. Do you have the patience here to just give it up again? You don't really want to lose anything here. You know, you can't win the rounds.
Oh my goodness. Good coverage from NQZ. He is allowing them to leave safely. He is the guardian angel of ESM and Big Azera.
They say he's three guns.
Sheds. Yeah, that's something.
It's a double up to that.
They keep right here.
There's not much to say for pain.
True to their name.
I'll give them that.
But this is.
Tough.
This is tough.
What could we say about this?
man
Often dobbies, you know, is a back and forth and stops exciting but here
It is just we've got your number and then some
Nice smoke even the pressure on mid
Snow is in a deep position. Again, NQC with that deep coverage, all the way there from the CT spawn,
but he is connecting Shaw's pain, coming to life now.
Yuri will get some damage in here, but his position is now known, and ultimately the bomb is very lost.
It's beyond lost, it's unrecoverable.
Yeah, they've got good money as well, so turns into a redundant situation for Yuri.
He's got a role to play and that's often to be the bullets sponge, the space creator,
to pull the copter away.
You could argue that here it's being done too great, of course there are multiple things
is going on, well I've always lightened people up for fun through the middle doors, but you
can't read a team based on stats on the pace of paper.
Hey, maybe there's a chance still gets full pain.
Oooh!
Mola died!
Oh, no, he's gonna try to get a revenge.
He doesn't want to be denied here. He wants to stay out in this position. I respect it.
Being spotted for that. They know that he's there.
This is a very difficult repeat. Everyone's posted. You must know they're all posted for you.
Maybe maybe frustration.
That seems like an extremely risky maneuver there from snow
in the final round of this first half.
And his team need a hero right now.
No, it's melting. Spring is here.
Well, I've got for that BSM and bigger zero remain two versus five last round of the half
SM over towards eight because they are being waited for by Molodoy off you go, mate.
the goose.
Well, those are like, I don't really care if I die, but as one, if you do, if you jump, I get another shot of
the first half. You're
Talk just like I'm not the floor
What you came for is right or what you came for
So we set the floor in an eight to five escape
We're the wave and we're the mission-making gun
No place here
When you came for what is right or what you came for
We're the coming of one, one, one
Well, just when you thought it was rough on Inferno, it's even more difficult.
My words, 24 for paint and one for Furia.
They ain't taking no money on Furia now.
Got and with good reason because this has been
One of the most one-sided series I can remember in years
This is a pistol round for pain
I might just go their way
Yes, so the odds right now for pain winning are 24 to 1
one and 24. I've got to put a horse in gaming. It's going to be great.
Yeah. It's kind of crazy. They are getting speed run out here. Although, as you say,
you know, picking up this pistol is definitely going to slow things down for few years, victory
if that is the conclusion here and we're just left we just left it the ponder left in the
state of ponderance there is much to ponder
look what don't know
there's only mail on the bag don't know this would be a good time for some mailbag
Very careful round from pain
Just be assembling smiling in this series. I think I've seen him smile here or there but obviously
The smile counter is cold
And has not had much to do
It's been pretty pretty rough the energy in general on pain side. They've been pretty deflated
Yeah, we're good reason I mean he's always smiling he's threatening a smile. Oh
It's his face I was like a low threshold to smile like for me
My I've resting suicide face, right? So for me, you know, I have a high threshold to smile
But for him, I feel like minimal movements can maybe be interpreted as a smile.
Yeah, I think I've got a mega threshold for smiling. Mega, mega high.
Wait, as in, oh right, yeah, so basically...
Yeah, I've got like resting murder face.
Right, yeah.
Resting if you want beef is beef face.
Well, scout's here for Molo-Doy.
I mean, it's smoked off in mid.
Long gets denied as well.
And for pain, they just obviously need to make this as clean as possible.
And we don't want to see what happened on Inferno, where they ran into a site with
10 seconds left and didn't have any time to do anything responsible.
So it's looking a little bit better to start with.
kind of trying to get into some action here on cat, but
probably four. Well, they've used seven period really low
hedges. I'm a bit worried for pain.
Problem is these these rounds feel like period have the upper
hands, you know, if you're on the CC side of five sevens, it
feels like they have the plan.
Pain of manager keep all five standing for the time being and
they've got plenty of utility.
But as they quietly approach, that clock continues to run down.
And guess who's got a smoke grenade on B?
It's Yuri.
44 seconds, they're exchanging grenades, but at some point it'll only make sense for
him to chuck his smoke.
He probably got time to do it.
He'd probably see the grenades coming through and have time to throw his smoke.
30 seconds, surely you want to- Oh, he's gone for the door instead of the
They've got no eyes in mids.
Oh, that's not going to work out in their favour.
20 seconds now for the numbers to come through, but your kindar is still standing.
Trying to reposition. He has rung some bells.
However, with Molotoway as the last man, I think Payne might be safe now.
Okay, so four rounds coming. Coming right up.
And then you should have that eco as well.
If only we had a mail to read in this eco.
I knew there was some kind of mail.
It's like you're transitioning to actually being mail,
but I don't think there is.
Although I think there was one yesterday
that we didn't get to.
So let me have a quick look for that.
I will do some scrolling.
So someone called Deadbeef said, thanks for providing a nice distraction to keep me from
studying for my exams. How is it decided if the games are put on the A stream or the B
stream, do the players not care on which stream they are? No, the players wouldn't
have any, they've got matches to focus on. Everything that exists outside of the
match for the most part should be ignored outside of media obligations. Of course, actually
saw, um, I don't know if it was some dude for some team game was that another comp saying,
Oh, you know, so great. There's like no, they're gonna have to hang around to do videos
or anything. It's like, you are an idiot, man. Like you have, how can you have a role
for a team and you have no understanding of the importance of profile for your team
members? You're trying to be like, Oh, I'm a voice of authority, like getting the
bin rates. Get in the bin. Anyways, once you're questioned, probably the A stream is a priority.
Of course, that's the big budget show with the sofa and everybody and all the talent.
So I would imagine they probably get to pick which ones that they want to have on the
A stream. That would make the most sense. But no, players and teams would not be contributing
Looking to that I don't think.
This is looking clean.
He brought the mobs out.
Okay well so that's okay good I mean it's cool.
The person who read that question probably doesn't, he's pretty not here.
But it was on said we can check off the box.
If we are here, then he probably is here, I reckon.
Are we ready?
People want to hear these voices down.
Ooh, okay.
Charm is... I couldn't put a charm on my skins.
No, I've crafted so many God-tier skins
and got rid of most of them now.
I don't even put stickers on my, uh, my firearms anymore.
I mean, I put them on my IRL firearm actually,
but not my in-game ones.
I've got a nice green AK that costs 71 pence
and it's got no stickers on it.
And it's like well worn or something.
And it looks great.
It suits the gun, especially with like the,
this era of graphics and CS2.
It looks good.
Like in CSGO, you know,
where things were a bit more crap.
You could have fun of the stickers,
But, you know, I've been there and done that now, Dan.
It's old hats for me.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you mean you spent a lot of money on skins?
You went all the way down the rabbit hole.
Hmm.
Came out, you came out of the desitute, perhaps, I don't know, okay.
No, I did it. I did it from a place of innocence.
Another, you know, the valley is all crazy.
Guess what's even more crazy?
Molotov again with the AWP just causing problems top fragger for the squad
14 to 8 now dropping VSM on shorts
Which will have to be cleared by pain if they want to construct any sort of round
So we've got some cacking troll for the pain to work from to try to pivot from we got that
But first step which is then to throw the smoke for Mids, try to bring a player down,
but Ykindar, he's staying very much up, he's curious, he's going for a stroll, Ykindar,
showing the shadow, now there's no more shadow.
And that's going to make things very difficult here.
I mean, Peria are so well prepared for pretty much anything and everything at this stage
in the round.
And for Pain, I mean, there's almost an argument to save, especially because they
They have an AWP on NQZ, but what can you do at this point?
Getting into the B site is going to be non-invossible.
There's three players here as well.
It's somewhat of a suicide mission.
They do have money though,
and what they can't afford is to lose more rounds.
So they really yard between a rock and a hard place
in case they're asking to find some nice little gap
to make things even more uncomfortable.
NQZ with 20 seconds.
One versus four, there's just no great decision here for him.
And now Molotoy is on the hard-to-greedy Molotoy wants to be dual-wielding, it seems.
Heading towards T spawn, this net will be closed, and again, this is just sheer brutality coming out of Furia.
So we see the baits and the trade, they just, it's like they just know everything.
They are all wise, all-knowing.
it's definitely not a good spot to be in again it's very hard to make the call to save but
it's it's just so you know you're hoping that there's a small percentage chance you
managed to make stuff happen they still have a buy this round because he still has the
ability to get up but they lose this round you know what what is the prognosis
What do I do?
It's gone into lower again.
He loves these pushes.
You have to respect that.
He does this all the time.
We won.
Lost.
Oh, so I grow.
It's fun to watch even in failure.
We've spoken over many games about VSM and the clutches and so on, but I mean, it's like just all red lights for pain, you know, like the beginning of Formula One, the red lights go out and it's off you go.
They never went out for pain because it's Furia at the controls. They just stayed reds.
I like this play, though, from pain. Going back to long, they did, of course, lose a player here, so they're going to be trying to clear that.
But but you know you can easily trade that in for them in most cases unless it's donkey
Then you literally all will die, but they get to scale long now
They got three smokes so they can definitely smoke the cross smoke position on the side of the thing need to
40 seconds so decent amounts of time into work with the kinder looking to be quite problematic though
It's quick spray
Beyond the smoke in case you're actually right up above a good position for the spray down nice
From biggest error though. He will deny that play and ground is gained
20 seconds for the plump.
That's to be a bi-elimination, surely.
Even with the time on the clock.
The area of 9 HP will fall away. $450 for him.
So, there's a chance for Payne to keep clawing things back.
I mean, you know, we've got to be honest,
like it feels like a dead game as far as Payne are concerned.
However, with the money so wrecked for Furia,
or Furia. I mean, the problem is we've seen like with the 5-7s and so on on the CT side,
it just, it still feels like in the vacuum of this game that Furia are in control. Feels
like they are the one pulling strings. That may be more difficult on Dust 2, but there
opportunity for paint and if they were to somehow find a way to mirage maybe things get better
they sure as hell can't be worse but they could stay the same but maybe they could be better
this is an interesting challenge actually for like Dan and I because it's such a one-sided game
And with the pace as well, it's very hard to, it's a great challenge to make it all engaging
as it would be if there was back and forth and it was close and so on.
Just for some cast of perspective.
And it's like a really slow game, you know, internally, or like a one-sided game,
a game which doesn't seem competitive internally, you can be like,
You can either choose, oh okay, this is going to be a boring one and just not put out something
interesting, or you can say, alright, how do I see as a challenge, big learning curve,
how do I make this, and entertaining one to watch, maybe Payne will do that for us as
they can choose you, now it's a comeback, bigger zero, swinging from blue, spots one
on the ramp, but the trades will be there for Payne, that's really important.
Three CTs with a minute 30 on the clock, one of them is Molodoy though, and that
That might be enough for Furia.
Yeah, it might very well be.
Bom-on-long.
And the cat investigation is underway from the Furia lads.
Now, because players have died on both sides,
you know, you kind of throw away those typical round timings.
I ran one minute. Would you kind of expect that midtake to be coming through?
So Furion, understand that they're either going B or they're going long.
That's the only possibilities here.
And KSorato could get this info looking for the potential cross.
He's going to hit the steps and he goes to find the frag, but he himself is
fragged. That's a great pick up from Snow of four versus two now.
And the round is at this point obvious for Payne, how they need to proceed.
Couple smokes available to start scaling onto A.
First space for the CTs with no one on short, and Yuri posting up in that position can give
Moeboi some confidence if he can get into position. Might be one undone if he went towards
the site though, looking at the smoke. Snow in the red will be dealt with and now the
numbers are competitive for the CTs. Quad as Monazoi delivers on superior! Yuri will
be barbecued but now Moeboi's got a choice. Three places he can go. CT would be somewhat
suicide. Oh, he's collected a kit as well. Oh, he's going to go from CT. No, he's going
to save. I was excited for a moment. I was thinking, wow, that's like going to be a
really brazen flavor. No. Yeah, you get really excited. I was like, I didn't want to, you
know, he's moving so much and leave that. I was like, he's, you know, he's so aggro.
I make no assumptions. Believe in the purpose. Sometimes when you're watching a player, it
just like feels like there's so much purpose behind every step. That's my favorite thing
when you see in a clutch when like a player is in like a 1v3 and he just he's just like a running at every single
Part of the dual and you know, you can just see that he's gonna win the clutch. I don't know there's some kind of like
Sense that you have when you watch
Stuff happened, I guess, you know, say that was a great shot
Pain still pouring their way back
Important HE connection.
Still got that up.
A lot of the boys trying to win it single-handedly.
That's why I was excited about the end of that last round.
Trying to give as much advance as possible, trying to bait them while he's spotted another
one, and in the meantime his teammates are getting into position, oh the shadow is spotted!
You could not, did he?
What just happened there?
Did he get hit in the face through the wall?
It was massive aim punch, and there are three remaining for paint, and they've got
no real map control to speak of!
Oh close casket funeral for bigger zero
Oh, you can go shop by his teammate, okay, I
Didn't understand what I was looking at there and perhaps pain could say the same on their pick of inferno
Okay.
Fallen now has got an AWP as well.
They don't need to be right too many times, Furia.
I guess how many frags Fallen has, James?
After the dentist, mate.
Might need a root canal after that.
Three frags.
That wasn't a guess.
Well, he had one for the longest time and he just recently got those extra two kills,
It's just it's just it's very interesting. He's just like so in laughing so much
And that's like pretty Kenny S. The point
You have to know if it's again make it so you can't move if you have an all
But also have a fury a match point
looking to eliminate pain someone's got to be eliminated and they're saying it's
not gonna be us. Molodoy is is looking so sharp today and that's another sharp one
from him. Cutting straight through the stage.
Oh, Molodoy is in position to get more but that's a very important kill. Bigger
Zero makes it possible here.
Getting wild now.
Small quad reload for NQZ.
Showing plenty of bomb to the CTs.
Yuri and Kesarato.
14 and 13 frags.
They only know info for one play up.
This is the last piece of useful, that might be quite handy actually, I would imagine Smale
will be deploying the state shield at some point.
Maybe when Yuri starts to swing, maybe not.
Alright, we're not done just yet.
I love that Pain had the watchful eye on Long because you could hear the shots from
the smoke.
Maybe it's too obvious. I'm baiting. Look at all this noise I'm making. Hello? Hello? Look over here.
Did not matter though. I think you see the first one or the last one there.
There's a looking shop on the mechanics here, so paying any for a way.
So I'm over just yet. Fast long take.
Shot's been taken pretty quickly for pain. That's a plus.
And one of the way, really trying to force the win in these rounds, it's just a full
send from the squad.
The timing of that U-Till is going to be brutal.
It's a combo meal deal.
The HE flame grilled pain players trying to make it to the A-bomb sites.
and NQZ remain and they will be dealt with and finally it is done by Furia.
Pain will be eliminated from ESL Pro League while Furia will live to fight
another day. Wow Furia just they just turned up today and wanted it to be a
fast one it seems. Yesterday there was a very very real chance that Furia were
eliminated by heroic. Super close game they looked shaky they looked like they
You're on a struggle bus here and there, but today, very different story.
As we can see the review of Payne's games, they're losing some Mongols to Aurora and
to Fury.
I mean, these are some top tier opponents.
It sucks for Payne.
We've seen some clear progress and it's definitely a team to watch, but I mean, those are
some pretty nasty opponents, James.
Yeah, they for sure are.
And we've really, like you and I have certainly enjoyed Payne's games at this event.
They've been really enjoyable.
And as you said, they have improved.
They've definitely raised their level.
They've shown that they are capable.
I think that domestic battle, if you will,
is something else.
We could put an asterisk on that,
but I think, generally speaking,
they are an enjoyable team to watch.
I like the way they construct rounds on the T sides
and how they manipulate that third man rotating
to the wrong bomb size and so on.
You've seen them do it very well in different series,
but I think playing against Furia is too full of order
for the time being.
But again, I think it's a domestic matchup.
always going to be a little bit unusual. That one will be a frustrating loss. And the fact
it means elimination is annoying. It's an awkward time to play a team such as Furia with how
good they can be at the moment. But it's props to Furia. We've seen some difficult games for
them as well. They've been on the receiving end of some tough losses, but they're staying
in the fights. They will have an opportunity tomorrow to go to the next stage or be
eliminated. So we'll see which one it is worth noticing now we're out of the match that if they do
make it to the next stage Fallen won't be able to play for personal reasons so the coach will be
stepping in but we'll see if they can make it there they're fighting tooth and nail to get to
that point at least. Yeah yeah it's going to be interesting to see how they how they'll handle
that situation but but it's good to see that furious still looking like such a such a strong
team and it's been for me such a joy. And again, I don't even mind
that I'm repeating myself here because I am, but it's such a joy
to see that Fallen has found, you know, later into his career,
like a way to to rise, you know, within the last year. And, and
with this team and in itself, I think they've got so much more
in terms of, of this, there's so much more distance that they
can travel with this roster. So looking forward to seeing, you
know, more and more from them. And I'll be curious to
also get his thoughts, because I believe we'll get him on
for any quick interview to get his thoughts on a bit of that. But also on what he thinks
of Payne, you know, I'm sure that he always will take some amount of pride in the Brazilian
scene and what they can produce because he was and has been so important in helping
to foster and nurture or cultivate a lot of talent from that region for many, many years
now.
Yeah. Yeah. It's a great renewed fall in that we are seeing. I love his role in
this team, I do want to ask them about that. It looks like it's fun, you know. Sometimes
it includes a lot of going in first and dying, but with the players around you to go in, like
it's designed really well. It's like, oh, look at me, look at me. And oh, okay, we've
got the whole bombsite now. And often they've got to save. So I think the scenario is
quite interesting. And I believe we have Monsieur Foulon on the line with us.
Hello, hello everyone. Good evening.
Good evening.
So I was just saying, your role on Furia looks like it can be quite fun.
Obviously it can, you know, sometimes you need to just draw the attention away
and allow your team to clean up, but it seems that the result of that
isn't just like a frag or some space, it's a whole bomb site,
it's the beginning and end of the round.
But just tell the people at home what your role on the squad is like.
on the T side of course, because for me it just it looks like fun. I mean it looks like
you were there for the vibes on that map because you know it was a very like that series
was crazy oppressive by you guys, but especially on our second map in the first half is it's
kind of like your vibe in and it must be quite fun and amusing, but I don't know.
Tell me about your role on the squad.
Good to see you guys. Well, I felt that I'm the most supportive player on the team
when it comes to make sure the things are going to go, they really have to go
And I also play like an entry role, many of the rounds on T side.
There's many times when someone has to go first, it's me.
So yeah, and this game, I'll just see what this was, or even joke, you know,
on the teams because like my, it's my lucky day.
Like, I got like one frag, you know, so everything would go wrong in terms of
getting the kills, but yeah, my role in the team is making sure that the
plan is going to be well executed, making sure that I'm putting people
on the best spots they can and really being selfless as much as possible
in terms of making the things that we want to happen happen.
Basically, that's it.
I have a question actually.
Oh, go on, Dan.
Go on, Dan!
I have a question about...
I could see again, what's up?
I have a question about your overpass games.
Yesterday you had an overpass game, it's heroic.
It seemed like you guys kind of got maybe frustrated.
You kind of sort of couldn't get anything going on the T side.
I'm curious what your takeaway was from that matchup.
We were giving too many interviews.
when we were playing and because they decided to play using connector and short
we cleared very early in the games and we're allowing that to happen and not
really punishing it because of the way we open and because of the way we played
individually the game got super hard so basically this side went south very
quickly and it was a tough game because of those things
so that's basically how the match went
Got it. Your game on Dust2 versus 3D Max
if you remember that. I know you're paying a lot of CSR. Maybe it's not still in your mind, but that was that was really exciting.
And your your battle with Exorcist around long was I think you got you really got the better end of that a lot of the time.
That was really fun. But it seems like for a team to take you to the limit, they have to play really aggressive on maps like that.
But what is that like for your team, like a match like that where the opponent is being really aggressive?
There's like three CC standing in mid when you're on a T side.
Like how difficult is that to deal with on Dust2 and kind of find the information as to what's going on in the early rounds?
Yeah, 3D Max is such a unique team because they're going to play some hands that other teams doesn't.
And then sometimes they're going to create problems because they are aggressive team and they can be creative if they really going to display themselves.
And then sometimes when you don't have the right answer, there might be some freezing
in regards to what's the next move is, and that's when the round kind of gets harder.
So I remember that round you were specifically talking about, they were pushing up mid and
I think we, they're even mulling, mulling by on suicide, right?
Super fast.
They were mulling, you know, that corridor, super fast.
And then from that point on, I don't think we took the best reactions.
We froze a little bit on what we should be controlling.
So adaptation sometimes might be something difficult to do against 3D Max because
of the exquisite round. But it's fun to play them. They're very risk-taking, and they play
super well, so it's very fun and it's challenging.
And one quick question for me as well is, you know, of course, you guys are not in an
environment like you might be at a major or some bigger tournaments where you're able
to all be kind of in a room together. And for some teams, you know, they've managed
to kind of, you know, be together, paint her in a hotel room together so that they
would be in person with each other. How much does this impact the energy and how does
that maybe translate to issues with performance or struggles with getting to the performance
that you want when you're playing online like this?
Well, honestly, for me, if you win, it helped.
If you lost, it didn't help.
It can go with your way.
I think it's a good question, but in the end, I think any answer, it really depends.
We qualified for many tournaments last year, playing online and going from their own home.
It's just that because we are from Brazil, when we have to play in Europe, me, Yuriyin
Kaseyatou are never at home, right?
It's pretty much impossible.
And now the only one who can really stay at home is Yakin there, who has a good thing
in search.
Even Moabai has to go somewhere else because I think it's too high from Kazakhstan.
So we're really never at home, that's the thing.
Even though we have a second home here in Malta, and we have a great facility
if we provide us the best possible structure here for us to play for us is always very challenging so
to be bootcamp the whole year is impossible as well right so for us it's either we're bootcamping or
here on the second home in Malta and as I said their question is whether does that help or not
I think it's not a factor I don't think it's the main factor it really depends on
which moment of the team the team is how much the whole elder are matching together and
how well they will play. I don't think the location really is the main factor for any win.
Last question from me. We have enjoyed Payne's games up to now here at ESL Pro League. I think it's
been really fun to see them construct rounds. I think there are some similarities in pacing on
their T side with Furia as well. And I think they can do a good job of misdirection towards
the end of a round and pulling that third CT away, as I like to say, from the correct bomb site.
Although it was hard to enjoy pain in this series because you guys were utterly dominating but I've got to say the grenade usage
Was bananas no pun intended in that in that first game
I think you get them with like every single grenade on banana. It was crazy
Um, but what is that domestic matchup like? I mean, I know it's when it's like, you know
Nation versus nation. I know it can get weird and you'll see each other more often than others
Um, I don't know if you have opinions on on pain at the moment
it seems that it is very difficult for them to play you at present but I think outside of
Furia, I think not only them as well. I think there are other teams from Brazil who are doing
a really good job but just interested in your opinions on on pain and also playing pain from
a Furia point of view. Yeah I have been watching some of their games and I'm getting quite happy
with their improving performances lately and yes they have beating G2 for example on some
games and I've been to D-Max, if not wrong. Yeah, they played for D-Max, they beat for D-Max,
they beat fashionway, they beat G2, they beat FaZe. They lost for us in Aurora recently.
Yeah, I have been watching their games and I think they are matching well with the new players
and they have a lot of things to figure out and when it comes to the Brazilian derby,
definitely there is a little more pressure for the Brazilian players. Imagine you are,
yes, Sam, you are like pure junior, you are watching those guys play for years and then
they start turning out to FaZe, right? And it might be a little bit harder because of the
Brazilian nationality because they probably watch us a lot and when it comes to the matches because
they don't have this amount of games played against us maybe some thoughts are gonna come
slower or some panic is gonna happen during the rounds you never know it only pain can answer
that themselves but it's been promising to see the rest games I don't think they really showed
their best today but again we really played a good game today on the defenses mainly on
Inferno as I said Kassarato and Nekindar are always swimming a lot of grenades on their bodies
And we just really played well today and made it hard for them.
And I felt during the match that they were, what's the word in English,
exciting a little bit, like the other rounds where the way we played made them
suffer a little bit on the two sides.
And there was a little bit of confusion going on.
But regardless, I think they're on the right path and I'm cheering for them to go even further.
Anything else from you Dan?
No, that's it.
Thanks for your time.
It's a pleasure to still see you playing and still see you do so well.
So, so yeah, thank you for giving us those awesome games to watch. I
Appreciate it. Good to see you guys guessing again
I have you watching and enjoying it. So hop to see you guys later again. Thanks so much. Yes. Thank you, man
Thank you. Thank you
Always a pleasure to see fallen. I did bump into him in London a few months ago
That was a nice outside an event at a very brief chat
I don't like to hold up players and when they've got places to be but
But, you know, he's an icon of the game and it's great to see him at all times.
So here is how things are looking at present.
We still have some action on the A stream as you can see.
They're not done over there.
So we will probably be sending you that way very soon.
But that is it for us at ESL Pro League.
And I've had a great time at ESL Pro League.
It's been fun.
I'm sure it has for you, Dan, as well.
Yeah, it's been great.
status over. Maybe we can somehow do a hostile takeover of the other streams. I don't know if that's
possible. Maybe we'll have to find some other people in the production that will kind of do a coup
with us. Maybe James, but other than that, you know, I guess this is there for us.
Yeah, let me know how you get on with that. I'll be on standby. But yeah, it's been it's
been great. It's been fun. We've got G2 Aurora on the A stream. So keep an eye out for the
result of that or just go and watch it. In fact, but yeah, we've had a lot of great action here
on this stream, but it's come to a close now. So it's all a stream from here.
Enjoy. Make sure you're following both channels for future broadcasts and we'll see you in the future.

Alright, let's do this.
and that's what happens!
Ladies and gentlemen!
We don't know what's going to happen.
No!
No way!
It's a perfect end!
Oh, this is madness!
No chance at all, dawg.
Attack!
Nobody back here, and we know you're doing your part.
Come on, both of us, get off!
Damn guys, we almost had this.
Thank god that's over.

A bit of a comeback here from the Aurora boys.
You have to hit this one, Jess. That's PGM now.
There we go.
Okay, four of the last five for Aurora. Here we are.
Round 11. Nothing too crazy.
Little bit aggressive at the top of the ramp.
And G2 lining up for a default.
Surprise is actually going to be flashed in for once.
Too coming for one.
Here's the push down.
Here's the push down.
Here's the push down.
Here's the push down.
Here's the push down.
Play that in slow-mo.
The dodge of the flash right there.
That is a thing of beauty.
Addis is wild dude. He's got style. That's why he's the left-handed lunatic aka mad dog
Southfall sniper a left-handed lunatic all in one server. Imagine them in a 1v1. Oh, they're crazy
We need that to happen. It needs to be an epic 1v1 too
So all we got left there
And execution didn't go too well before as we said the opposite word was limp
You never want that to describe you in any situation really no I'm thinking one
I think of a single and life right?
In the sauna you were limping the sauna better than the alternative
Walk to get one now at least right back in the round
We've got an execution here of sorts of plastic and over what's getting to not quite
Some pirates are fighting them, but it's over the corner, and all of Canada strikes some pirates though
And we check in here with nice prefire as well and we can't hear without the second re-opening
Yeah, that's great delays everything and that opens up the flanks so fast coming. It's 1v3
I'll have to consider it. He's the anchor so they they're going the penny will drop and go okay. Well, he's up to something
He's up to something
He's giving it a look in it's a freebie
I've got the dink on Sunpias but take it down from Jungle.
That's why Madge was hard cleared there because if Soulfly died taking contact he might have
gone overlooked but the problem with Soulfly that A.Ank and Nami plate counter strike.
Raj take it away.
Nami plate counter strike.
Here's the flash.
Oh what a turn from Mattis.
You're a big Mattis fan aren't you?
I, when I was at yesterday at Baranze vs Cave player you were straight in there, you
were straight in there saying Mattis I don't think he's even made a name for himself.
This guy, the reason I like this guy, he's sharp, he seems like a good communicator, he's a player's player.
He plays team-based, yeah?
Yeah, on a Counter-Strike.
Damn straight, Jason!
He does a good descriptor.
Especially on the T side, he does a lot of dirty work for you.
And I like how he's very emotional on the camera, too.
You get a lot of great reviews on the TV, so nice.
Oh dear.
Yeah.
Alright.
Oh, you gotta clear your cone.
This started with Hunter walking on the power smoke, a free kill for Woxic, and all of a sudden G2R right back into a 4v3.
We got Mattis.
Mattis, if he's any sort of player, he's checking this.
He did. He checked it. He just got checked out.
Sometimes it's all you can ask for, you know? He did the right thing.
Yeah, it was nice work from Mattis.
Ah, yeah.
Okay, just round his back on.
Alright, there's window smoke from mobs.
Con Smoke as well, showing they want to bring some forces.
