It is the last chance for these two teams to qualify for the all-important esl pro league my name
is hayes alongside alan mate we got to join sinners uh up
against oh was coy Yeah, Koi qualified
A couple days ago. There are two
Birds through this qualifier. One has been
Claimed as one spot left with two teams
Sango versus sinners
I'm so excited for this game man Yeah should be good penultimate game now been
another longer season of course um in their current iteration everything one per calendar
season with counter strike a lot of fun cs we'll look over the
bracket now and the first thing to acknowledge guys
is a lot of the big names have gone monty out nine pandas out saw
out 3d max out aurora out and plenty of those at the hands of course of sangal too
so not necessarily the biggest names because movistar koi um are in that remit too but
they're already there sinners and sangle people
wouldn't have been on these teams but in a couple hours one of them will
gain their birth to pro league it's actually just been such a fantastic
run from san girl here in the lower bracket.
They started off in the lower bracket because of where they placed in the group stage,
and they've just been taking big names to get to this point.
It feels like they got so much momentum behind them as well.
Like I said in the intro, you and I got to cast
Zunas versus Koi, and Zunas
left a lot to be desired in that first shot
of qualifying for Pro League where they weren't able
to make it happen. Yeah, I'm just taking
an attitude because I presume Sango maybe made their changes
since or at least the team
coming together since actually in
group stages so it's not even necessarily
this is the same team that
lost some of those group stage games um and they have just schooled
up phenomenally let's focus in then of course uh on our matchup today lots of exciting stuff here
um of course from a sinner's point of view, we know that
NeoFrag is out so there was always going to be A standing
over the course of this week or so
I've seen Sinners a few times and they've been
using Marisco and Mikey
Eight AJT
spell on the server
uh
has not been playing
so
whatever's going on behind
the scenes
they are using two players
which they were
not a month ago
whichever way you cut it
Hayes that is hard it's a hard thing to do mid-season
to correct and then take on fully fledged teams. Yeah especially when
you're losing somebody of Neoffrag's caliber, right?
That's definitely going to be a big loss here for us.
They brought Morisco in even more recently than Mikey if I'm not mistaken
Beastik and Oscar along with Shock are staples off the roster
they've been apart of this team for a very long time,
got a lot of history together
and they're going to have to pitch up here today as well
to alleviate the pressure on the likes of Marisco and Mikey.
We saw Mikey have a good display against akoi on nuke really struggled
on inferno felt like the pressure got to him so we need to see those veterans and
the players with experience stand up here that those players who are a little bit
newer to the scene and the team as well, you know
able to play a bit more freely
Let's talk maps
between these teams
it should be intriguing because both teams have played all 7
I think both of them dabbled with going in the direction
of all sevens.
Let's look at those maps, there they are.
Inferno out from
Sango, they banned that in a lot of their matches.
Vertigo, historic ban for Sinners and certainly isn't their leastups vertigo historic band for sinners
and uh certainly is their least leading map at the moment so no surprises there
mirage pick for sangal and dust two for sinners wow okay um i mean they played a lot.
Hang on, how have they played so much Dust 2 already?
They would've played 14 maps in just over a month.
That's quite a lot actually.
They must be picking it all the time.
Yeah, they've been playing a lot of CCT Counter-Strike and they have been picking Dust2
pretty regularly lately. So
makes sense that they're bringing it here to the fray.
They've had some success on it as well.
They look pretty comfortable. I actually got to cast them
the other day against Ruby and they did pick Dust2 on that occasion as well.
And they did look convincing so I think Dust 2 makes sense. Nuke will be the decider.
They looked very frail against Koi on nuke but it is a map that they still generally do enjoy playing.
So... It kind of feels like on all three maps here Sinners are gonna be
you know-it's not like there's any punish picks for Sinners. Whereas for Sangle
They only have two reps on Dust2.
So they could actually get found out there by Sinners.
Sinners might genuinely be the most experienced
Dust2 team in the world.
I wouldn't be surprised if nobody at least
had a top 100 or 50 level or above has played more
than this. Now there's a lot of dust too
given the proximity of the changes so
yeah that'll be very interesting
Of course both these first two maps
they feel pretty leading to their
respective picks hasn't necessarily always been the case
of playoffs that transpires but at least when we look at this on paper
surely we're primed for a free mapper uh in this series and that of course would be a lot of fun because Nuke
for both teams is a bit of middle ground. Yeah, I mean
it feels like we should have a competition on mirage even though sangle are fantastic
on the map sinners are no pushover on mirage and then dust too is where i'm
a little bit concerned with sand girl even though they are the favorites so if there
was a team who's going to win the series 2-0,
I'd actually lean in the direction of Sinus just based off
the veto alone.
So yeah, I think Sengal have their work cut out for them
having to get the job done on Dust2 but they will be
comfortable with Nuka as that third. Yeah, I think
both of us are going to be leaning towards
Sango here, especially
after I watched them yesterday.
I said a lot on air yesterday. I haven't actually seen this
lineup play so much, but yesterday they were brilliant um
they they were a better team than aurora and individually they had some huge players as well
so i think on all levels sangal for are just the more consistent team
here. Yes I do think we're probably on track
for three maps but over a
series, Sango is
the better unit and
I love some of these players on Sinners, but
I just feel like mid-season changes.
I'm not sure they can get it together, man. It didn't look
great obviously in their upper bracket game against Morbius Darkoi and I don't see any
glaring reasons why it's going to be so different here
because, again,
they're just lacking practice as a five and maybe some
inexperience in some of these players. Those are
big things to overcome.
Yeah, they certainly are mates. the brutal part of the bracket here for sinners is
that they've had two chances this is their second chance if they don't qualify having had two shots
at making it happen that would just be devastating for them. Anyway let's
highlight a player here we both sort of leaned in towards Sango and
xflout is the player who were going to be looking at coming into this series and suggesting
that everybody do keep a close eye on in this matchup as
well. He's been floating around the scene
for a while, right? He kind of was in and out of
that Eternal Fire team a couple of
times, the classic revolving door
in Eternal Fire before they were finally able to settle down and xflat was one
of the guys who had featured a few times he had shown some promise but he hasn't looked as
consistent and as stable as he does in the sangle roster. Yeah, it's worth saying that
even the interviews coming out from
Eternal Fireguide is quite clear
a lot of those changes were more
role balance and obviously now
with Wicadia fits together a lot better but
it's not to disparage X-Flowered. It might just be
that he has too much overlap with the Zantaras
with a
Mage from the position he plays. These sort of things
so X-Flower was always a good individual
and I'm happy that now
he's in a place where he can thrive.
Certainly in their game against Aurora
he was by far and away
the best player on the server
and when you're on a server
with Kenzie Decker as a result
that is no mean feat.
So he's been brilliant in these playoffs.
He's already won them for me.
What's going to be their toughest test?
If he's anything close to the level he was yesterday,
I really believe that Sinners could be in some big trouble.
Yeah,
I feel like he's been getting better.
He's also only 21 years old
so he's still in the very early stages of his career
as XCloud and I'd love to see him on land, rubbing
shoulders with some of the
big dogs and if they can win this series
here then they've locked that in right? To qualify
for season 20 of Pro League so
a very big opportunity here for xflat as an individual and
sangle is the team as well um just going to be keen to see what they play like
when they've got some pressure on their shoulders adam because
they started off this bracket you know know lower bracket run. Not a lot
of people would have expected them to make it as far
as they have so there wouldn't have been that level
of expectation or that pressure on them
but now it's like we're one series
away. We've won four to get to this point,
beating arguably teams who are all better
than Sinnerz on paper at least.
Now we just have to win that one more match.
So yeah I'm looking forward
to seeing how Sango play
when they've got that pressure behind them.
In four consecutive rounds
of this lower bracket, you probably
would have said Sangle
are an underdog and for a couple
of those series pretty heavy
underdogs
I'd say Saw for he's pretty heavy underdogs.
I'd say Saw, 3D Max
and Aurora were quite
one-sided if you just look at it on paper
and look at the experience of these teams. Maybe 9Panda
is having a bit of a drop offoff, but yeah, you're right.
Coming up against Sinners, this is the
first time
where they're favoured by a lot
of us that have seen them play already.
Now they're in such
touching distance as well at that Pro League spot,
it's a good angle
to talk about because
it might be the only way they lose this series frankly
is if they get in their own heads and play their own game
and they're thinking too much or they're
getting hesitant in situations where they were not yesterday
because this
matters a lot for these players
and the organisation. They desperately want this pro league spot because it just set them
up so well for next season yeah well you look at sangal as an organization they've never featured
in esl pro leagues so i don't even know if they're featured at an event as big
as pro league. I don't think that they've been to any like A-tier LANs or anything
like that, so this actually is a very big chance for the players and the orgs
alike. It's actually a very interesting group of
players, can we...can I make
a request? Can we bring the rosters up once again just to show
everybody because we didn't get to talk much
about the Zangale roster
Of course we have highlighted xFlout as an individual but there are a few other players
worth mentioning here as well now of course yotta also hails from uh from turkey turkish organization
so it makes sense that they'd want to feature some of their own.
Then you've got Saimi, who was playing in the Honoris core
and then that became Anonimo afterwards
And he was by far and wide the best part of that team
Of course he's the the opera of the squad
and he can really take over the server when he's
at the top of his game. And then you've got Linus
who is a part of the NIP Academy squad
that then went to the main team and it
didn't really work out there for him. And he kind of
got left out in the cold, and he was picked up by
Sango, and it worked out very well since
then. And then Youngster is an up-and-coming
Swedish player, a Swedish rifler who
no one really even had on their radar like you know six months ago. So
if you look at the names of the Sangel and you look at the results they've been able to put up
so far and it's actually quite surprising. No doubt about it, they're absolutely
more than the sum of their parts
we mentioned yesterday that surely somebody
behind this team deserves a lot of credit
they've also got Jumpy as coach
formerly of Northland Fnatic
certainly has competed and has experience at high levels
of play. And then I believe they extended Valorant before coming back to the Promised
Land we like to call it here in Counter-Strike.
But yeah, you're right.
As a team, until you see them play
and until you've really thought about it
you look at the team on paper
and you're like
I'm not sure we've got enough firepower
I'm not sure this works because then youpower here. I'm not sure this works,
but then you watch it on the server
and you're like,
wow, these roles must click well together
because you're getting
the most out of your players
and obviously even on Eternal Fire
I'm not sure you're getting
the most out of a player like
X-Blow. Whereas now
he's in fine form
and about two hours
he might be the MVP of the series
and looking his fights to mortar
Alright the series and looking at Weiss and Mourza.
Alright,
on the brink, both of these teams have had one shot in the upper bracket
to qualify for Pro League. They weren't able to make
it happen against Movistar Koei. They won 8 rounds across
2 maps. They're going to have to get
the job done here against Sangel
otherwise
the dream will be destroyed
We know how comfortable they are on Mirage
Linus in towards mid takes a bit of contact and then it just numbers through
Apartments in towards B bombsite, Beastic just trying to fall backwards
He's trying to throw a flash to support himself
And oh my goodness, wonderful kills coming
through from him.
Just popping heads right now finally a bit of blood spills on the Sniper Squad as they
take down Oscar but it's going to be short-lived success. This is formidable,
the way he played that position behind empty
so many good duels
an absolute clinic on
most of those frags
So! take those Sinners.
And obviously we focus more on the Sango roster but
The old guard here Shock, B-Stick and Oscar
It's just a win condition that they're playing some of their Counter-Strike.
They have to be the backbone for this team, when we saw them play Mobbing Star Koi...
it's quite apparent that Mikey and Morisco are out of their depth a little bit.
This is the first time they've played in this tier with these stakes
so i do think experienced heads are the ones that stay
ever so calm because this team needs a rock to play off.
Yeah absolutely. It's really important they kind of shield the lesser experienced players and they pitch up early as well. It will be a good boost
of confidence winning that pistol round here for sinners
You should be able to clean up against the pistols as well, really no resistance at all.
Always gonna go down there nice little straight transfer from him to get the three
but it should just be the one casualty around here for sinners
gonna make us wait, you youngster.
Here comes Shock!
He's still there... and yeah, four alive.
Good stuff for Sinners.
Looking ahead to this buy, where it will be 8k's across the board, good util 2.
Alright. Reminder guys, Mirage, one of Sangle's best maps. Not so much for sinners, this is a punish pick and I expect to see just how good Sangle are, I wanna see some good rounds.
Yeah they really have made Mirage a home pick lately
If you look at their stats they've played Mirage 13 times in the past 3 months
They put a 64% winrate on their team side, 56%
win rate on their team side so they're very comfortable on both parts of this map.
Early middle control here as well.
I feel like a map like Mirage is so helpful to have those reps, especially towards mid
because you've just ironed out
so many protocols and you've been through so many different situations that you've wrapped up a lot of experience.
So everybody has a very good understanding of how you're going to respond to certain things that play out,
like if you're dealing with it for the first time in a big game like this Oscar finds one swiftly traded just is hitting hard and sinners well at the
moment they're still shaping up potentially for a retake
Marisco goes push palace they need to kill two and
twice them it's still a man deficit
anymore than might have killed youngster here but with a wide plant
ramp and connector no smoke for the bomb either
these guns are being thrown away man I don't see how you can possibly...
Yeah, I'm right there
with you. Sometimes you kind of get lured into it
because you think we've got some money, let's just feel about
but it was always
highly unlikely. Beastic has got a kit here, but same he's hanging out with his top players in this spot Beastic has no way to make it if you happen and well Linus will indeed finish off the job saying they'll get themselves more data set on the nerds if there were
any coming into this. Just getting that
first round on the board, everybody
breathes a sigh of relief when you're youngster
and you're hitting nice shots like that, that's gonna
make you feel good as well.
And I think that this is one of
those rare situations where it actually
suggests that the CT side save here.
I mean yeah sure they only
get $1900 but that's actually enough for them to full buy in the next round.
So i think they've made the correct decision not to force here.
They say if they're going in last round there are two safes between a buy and win.
That is very true.
I don't know why they went for it, as soon as they lost the one player flanking ramp on the Push Palace
It's just not winnable and you can also see the nades in your team, I mean if you have a full belt of utility sure maybe...
Maybe you could luck it out and just smoke off the right areas or put a smoke bomb on whatever molly palace
And they cant swing but
They didn't have that opportunity and somebody should've pulled the plug.
A light mistake early on here, as soon as it will ensure there's another eco now...
And unfortunately for them, I don't feel like Svangal's coming out. Looks like
a B split to me. Yeah they've got a very good read here on the situation.
Youngster's making his way through apartments as well so he's gonna get information
as he makes his way forward.
I do like the gamble stack from Sinners though.
Trying something out of the ordinary
and you're fully eco around does make sense
unfortunately for them, they bet on red
and it's landed on black
So...
There goes all their money.
It's important here actually that it sounds like a drone. There is actually no reason to hunt. Not at all.
So, they need discipline and actually we had an ex-file on for the post game into yesterday after beating a Roaring. you made a big point about how they're
trying to play disciplined camera strike and how um there's like accountability i guess
we're getting over eager okay hopefully joseph got the memo and stops pushing, but that was quite a surprising thing to hear
because normally younger players don't see the big picture they don't you know it's
a bit of boring mindset to try and not hide my guns
and always maximise your efficiency.
Early round, I think it's 24 now or whatever over a series.
The odds say gun here are there, that's 2-3-4 gun rounds
but that is really the difference.
And often overlooked as you'd say normally by younger players
You know average age in sangal is 22 years old
but you just imagine coach yumpy is such an integral part of this roster
bringing a wealth of experience and just making sure that everybody recognizes the importance
of discipline either way big round here alan sando looking to get himself
to do this walking play for oscar as well marisco's dropped into lowers son is I think judging by the mini-map, I guess a fast window smoke was missed?
Interesting. Not quite sure what's going on there but clearly not the best use of util and actually it means they haven't gone out mid um
that's fine what they didn't know is actually the cities were playing into
mid so they've actually avoided that timing
get in now marisco bit of a contact out Wow okay that is that is very aggressive they're lucky the hospital wasn't posted up
now that's a mid control and something to work with
i just like how much there is going on around the map right now
having impact in towardsments as well.
That's forcing the capital player, Mikey to just turn back occasionally
but he is going to be committed and xploud some good Craig serums
comes through from him.
He has been spotted out as well.
We will take down the apartments player but but samey will find the tray and shot him
But he can try to stop them so that he is spotted offside with some smoke also
A lot of damage done through that smoke
Of course he wouldn't know it
And I think Oscar's already just saying
mate, I'm saving my AWP here so
it will be a third round in the row here for Sango
They're warming up
Lost Pest still on E in second apart from that
it's been pretty good a kind of clean counter-strike to me
i'm certainly going we saw yesterday against the brawlers
sanga was not trying to play the flashiest
Counter-Strike, they're running crazy
executionally
Simple but efficient
Counter-Strike Well traded, well spaced
Even some contact play like we saw here for mid control
And going back to basics
Definitely seems to be working
Especially when you're basic things keep working. Yeah, especially when your basics are so well waxed which they are for Sackbell right? Especially on a map like Mirage. They're so comfortable
on the T side of this map, The way that they move around.
How they respond to different situations as well.
And even there just dry contact out middle
Trading their way forward
Very difficult to play against as the ct side that a bomb site hasn't received any love yet from sangle but i'm sure it
will somewhere along the line having such a solid base as well we
serve them so well moving forwards.
If you're winning series off having really intricate executes or even one individual taking over games,
there's going to come a time when that doesn't work. Or somebody studies your demos
or whatever it is. If you communicate well and if you can mid-round
round well and do the basics right
of trading and spacing and communication those are pillars to all good counterstrike
so I think I think Sango are building this team with a good foundation. They will continue this level and more,
i have no doubt for the next six months. Which makes them even more difficult to counter right?
Because it's not like they're just using gimmick plays or
the same sort of approach with one
or two variations every single round to find
their success. They have got that
solid base that they can just fall back on and
they can
propel themselves in multiple different directions they can just fall back on and they can, you know,
propel themselves in multiple different directions from that solid base as well.
So it must be a nightmare to try
and anti-strat the Stangal team.
I think you're better off just focusing on your own game at that point.
Alright, what have we got Sinus? So...
We haven't saved enough here to invest, the best they can do is chuck some pistols around.
I want to see Oscar try and make a play here, man.
I wanna see him get himself into the round. Maybe push up middle...
I just want to see some initiative
from Oscar. I think when you've got one of two
hero weapons in play
you gotta find a way to get yourself in the round
One thing i will say is that for those who
missed the Movistar Koi game, especially
when things started looking
real bad for Sinners
Oscar tried to push the envelope and he went too far
Quite an interesting series
That isn't Oscar to me, I don't think Oscar has ever been that sort of player.
So I'm quite interested today what Oscar we see. Obviously I need him to be proactive.
I need him to be proactive. Yes. I need him to try and impose himself on the opponents here
And cause problems, but...
If he just goes too hard
And he tries to be a hero
Without relying on his teammates or
Uta, whatever it is. Then we're going to see
what we saw against Mobsnark Hoya
and a lot of opening kills going the way of their opponents
because of him
Honestly on Nuke I kind of felt like with those lobby pushes coming through from Oscar he looked checked out to me.
I don't think that was initiative plays where he was really feeling it and trying to make a difference,
It just looked like pure frustration. Of course, that's speculation, but
yeah, I'm keen to see what he's
going to try and do here in this round. There's an M4 on
Shock as well.
A couple upgraded pistols outside of that. Of course
three counts of round loss bonus means that
Senators can dig a bit deeper into their pockets here.
Well unfortunately it sounds like the technical issue is a little bit bigger than planned so we're going to take a quick break and fire up the hamster wheel get them running.
Hopefully they'll generate enough power to get the service going again.
And us back in game.
Hopefully not too long guys.
We'll see you again soon when we're back underway. so. so
well that was quick.
I wasn't lying about to get a break.
We need a spillage, but we cleaned that up!
We're dry again...
Let's go back and kill the guy over there We're dry again. Oh well there's Oscar, he was boosted up into ladder room at the start of the round so in a forward position earlier than what xloud was expecting and that will be the opening kill
thats exactly what i was saying, I was looking for out of
us to get this important round
right now! And he'll take one down
The second marisa is not able to get himself under Palace.
I love the proactivity there from Jota
Getting through that CC smoke makes such a big difference for his teammates trying to get onto the bombsite
Okay how do you fight this if you're sinners
boredom frag and he can't find it. That's where the tracks open around with a very awkward engagement,
those guns do not
survive.
So,
a little bit of
a scare for Sangel
but let's be honest
after losing
the first man
that just becomes
survival
and they did. Yeah,
exactly. It's not about winning the round
cleanly anymore at that point. It's about boys
we just need to make sure we get the points on the board here
and I love how quickly they also activate
towards A ramp after they lose their mid player it's not like
they just sit around for 30 seconds and then allow us to get info and then you know rotate
and stack up the bomb site very good heads-up decision, moving with pace are Sango.
And that's four in a row coming through for the T side, the team have picked them out
and they're going to set-up for a big egg check into the safe bombsite again very early in the round.
Sinners have stacked their numbers towards middle of top stairs and jungle smoke is actually going to be enough
To block them out of the site entirely. Sangle has a free A bombsite afforded to them right now.
There you go!
Oh no, a team kill in the mix as well, but that's going to be a bunch of damage.
Okay...
...the bomb is heading towards the water connector one kill for samey
but these smokes are gonna fade soon they're going to be out in the open
this is so tough to get a bomb plant there's no safe plant anymore.
They might actually have to cancel here I mean they don't have any utility
to fall back on going into the rest of the round
and Lioness tries to deal with Cat but
Oscar hits the timing shot.
I don't know if he was completely blinded or not
But it will be a vital gun round going in the way of Sinner's
And that is quite surprising
Considering how the round looked at the start there
Sinner stacked up towards mid, Zango exacting A.
But as you say, Morisco inflicts a lot of damage.
He started off way better here on Mirage compared to what we saw
on Inferno a couple days ago against Khoist
they need him, they really need him
Oscar is their best friend in this series
I don't know if they've got a team here, but
you've
gotta
try something.
You can't just show up here and agree to lose.
This matters so much for Senners, if they can just survive
and get into pro league, give them scope
to wherever the new players are in
in the end, embed them in
make this team work. Of course, in this round contacting
Infomid was not the move Oscar was on location as teammates too. This round is very flat.
Yeah Sangle can be rough to play with but This round is very flat. Yeah, Sangel really well-toothed with middle on their T side of Mirage
I mean obviously middle's a very important part
Of its successful T side on this map but
Sangel leads 80% of the time on their T side.
And so I think Sinners are thinking,
well we're gonna fight you guys!
We're not going to give up that control
let you get comfortable and dictate the round
we're gonna contest you
and I love that Oscar's setting himself up at the heat of the battle as well
consistently finding kills
Looking clean It's looking clean.
I might need to change the game plan for mid, there has been a lot of, you know...
default early then contact in for mid control hoping the AWP is on location and they were not right this time.
No sir.
I need to change the script. have the bomb headshot sure a plan there it is no damaging you so on this CT side, so this bomb will go down.
Anything more from here is a bonus!
Oh...
You can understand what he's thinking.
Honestly, that was a result. Yeah, plant. That was the result.
Yeah that in itself was a call order
asking Jota to find a plant considering
he's one of these four apartments but
does find a kill nice headshot there onto B-stick
and did you notice how nicely he timed his peek as well?
He was listening to the audio of the player jump spotting,
and as soon as he hears him land from that jump peek
That's when he starts to push forward
because he knows he has given himself
The biggest window
To close the gap And then make that shot a little bit easier.
Right there.
Savage!
Gonna have an eco round though yeah okay good job for the way starting this round but
see if i can keep it for better
The one thing I would like to say is um, I don't
think Morisco's a placeholder in the Sinister team.
I actually think he has
the potential to stake a claim
in this roster, you know
he's lightest trade and entropic
and okay alright's roots into
Like demolish the one guy whose praises I was singing man like for real
As I was saying though I would like to complete the point and
just say I feel like Morisco has a lot
of potential now
but he could have a map in this all-important
series where he does pop off and just like win a half by himself listeners
given city's communication since the changes they I don't think they've had anything
to talk about.
No.
Um...
So, I think it is entirely conceivable and dare I say likely, both of them may be playing
for their positions on this team in the game at the moment.
Surely it's a factor.
Whatever is going on even if they're in contract or whatever. It only helps if you play some good Counter-Strike
and certainly if you do the opposite...
So these guys NEED to do work. On the flip side...
That was absolutely brutal, what are you supposed to do?
Just posted up on the angle, great crosshair placement
Shock tries to trade but suffers the same fate as marisco
Mikey wants to try get something back. Of course sinners need to you know, make an information play try get something
To work with here in the round.
They have got Oscar who's pushed Talos but it's with an AWP so it's not really an ideal weapon to flank with
And it looks like Sengar is going to group up here
and make their way towards this B bombsite They'll'll have to deal with that, X-Loud!
He's just shook off the C4 and he hasn't been able to find that kill.
That's not how these things are supposed to go, guys.
Have a safe centers
Oh
These guys shoot so hard bro
Him and Jota are no joke.
It is a great time
for Turkish Counter-Strike.
A really great time.
And for great time. A um, pound for pound they're generating so many good players. It is um...
a push to shame in a lot of other regions.
Yeah, regions that don't get the same sort of support exactly
The same sort of exposure
On the angle, dialed in
Completely ready for that second
peek to come through as well
Oscar isn't able to save his orb either which means
they'll have to empty their pockets to afford a buy here
in this next round. Scoreline levels are packing forth exactly
as we expected coming into the series i must say sinners are definitely looking better
as a team and as individuals compared to what we saw in their first shot at qualifying.
It's the case as well, that line-up of games is good groups and play-offs so
it was even somewhat difficult to extrapolate
how they're playing in the group stage.
That might have been a poor move, X-Flout. Yeah, that was the first real mistake.
And Oscar is on a tear at the moment.
Sango cannot deal with him in mid, they have lost so many kills to him in that position.
That's exactly what we were asking for coming into this really important game, paging
Oscar.
He's pitched up from the word go he's been brilliant here on Mirage.
Should be enough done here in the round for Sinister to convert
as well, Mariska. Scythe's
trained on lowers, he'll take Youngster down
nothing working out for Sangal
everything they've thrown hasn't been able to stick
now it's just Yotta and Linus making their way
out of ramp, but Sinners have kind of got the
idea this is what's going on. They've got Mikey on that
flank so this round's as good as done. It's actually
a formality from here.
Super flamethrower from here so we grab beastie a gun there we go very nice yeah This isn't a great map for sinners.
So, they certainly played it very competitively because we did win pistol that is a factor in the score they put
They've earned these rounds, most certainly.
Yeah. And what does two up next?
I was going to say they are a much more competitive team than I saw a couple of days ago.
Oh, Oscar pushed to continue to make plays into water mode...
He's been the boss over here man!
Clear out that K day he might catch someone
really well timed but another opening kill coming through
at least linus has been able to still take control of middle in the process
and looks like yata's timing is peak out of ramp
shop was on top of the ticket
Kind of um leaving himself very exposed and that costs him his life
Minuses and that costs him his life. They can't get the bomb off. They've got aim, they can't get it all over.
It's okay though there is a lot of time here
That's a disaster!
That would have been B bombs so open.
They're so spread out these two single players
and they should know
that the bomb has fallen through under them.
This round was so good for them,
but not anymore.
Couldn't get on the same page.
Couldn't reallocate that bomb.
Let's see if I can get caught by D-Stick.
There you have it. seven rounds for Sinners.
Pissed around a bit of a gap and so towards the end of the half looking like
team we know and love and of course Oscar the man who went missing in their first opportunity
for Pro League he is here to play and if you can win
sinners their opponent's map pick well he's earned his key let's see him
keep going in half number two so so so so so so so so so Thank you. so so. so Fantastic first half coming through from Sinners, particularly Oscar pitched up in a massive way. 13 kills and 12 rounds out of their star AWPer
And it means they've got themselves a 2 round lead
We know that Zangl have a fantastic CT side on this map
So I'm absolutely not riding them off
Even if they lose the pistol, but
Let's see if they can collect a second pistol and set themselves in a good state here to start of the second half.
This is gonna be spicy
Ho ho ha! Okay that's a statement of intent.
Might have a new logo at his sangle but they certainly still want to get through this game in a good fashion.
The X-Files shortening to help his teammate
only objective at the moment removes marisco
but he's done his job. Cavalry is here,
pissed around before Sangal
and some of the bombs that first half
already re-ridden
Pretty sure Youngster got three
of his four kills in the first three rounds
of the map. He absolutely dropped off
throughout the rest with that T side so it will be
a good boost for Confidence landing
a clean kill there. Good taps out of Yotta as well
And that is going to be a one round gap between these two teams and no money for sinners either Okay.
Just the Glocks.
And this is what Stangl did in the first half, so...
Post up!
Human Pyramid.
This is exactly what Stangl did in their Teesside second round as well. To be cheerleading tryouts?
I don't think they want to be the cheerleaders, man.
They want to be the guys on the field, right?
And that's what qualifying for Pro League would be.
Sengar just wants to make sure they keep numbers alive here, build up that economy early on the CT side.
As I was mentioning earlier, Dust2 is going to do that next map so it's not a great one for SamGulp.
Oh! How is Youngster getting caught off there?
That player was spotted by the vent.
I'm going to try and force the issue and get the kill vent. The first lab to force the issue
and get the kill,
calling in to chase the sandile as expected
and they level up to scoreline 7 apiece
Tiny bit awkward but...
LL I've lost. Yeah, haven't a bit nervous for Sinners.
We would have seen against Koi as well they didn't kick Mirage into Koi even though
Koi barely play Mirage at all. So that kind of tells us
they themselves don't have a huge amount of confidence in their Mirage
See if they can open up the C side with a gun round win. It's a bonus round for the CT side so
If you're not winning this round as soon as against two mp9s in a from us
how are you going to win against the open rifles
two halves it's just a different game especially in this one
first half was fairly mid, and then Oscar's opening kills
Those cannot be guaranteed here, even so...
They catch Sango on the aggression
Hmmmm they catch sanga on the aggression
he's barely any maids here even for sanger beast is taking space and cat is oh my lord how has nobody spotted each other
along with his world are you jota he gone, bomb being heaved over now too
It's gotta be a save for Sango
You need this rifle, you need the M4 because the other two guns that will be carried through are MP9s. That's not going to get to deuces in the next gun round.
I'm sure Youngstool will try and add his combat across to a Yotta or X x-ride and then upgrade
to a rifle himself but a well constructed gun round sinners
haven't had to do much here right they just posted top mid punish the
aggression was able to find some nice timing up
connector was able to find some nice timing up connector and everything gonna fall into
place yep sinners will regain the lead I guess
tango just felt like on that weapon they had to get aggressive.
Didn't work!
My Geek-O-Catch Nubber it's just an MP9 but still.
Damage is damage!
Quite a difference though isn't it?
Gives over the AK and that's quite good for Sangel.
87% in a step, retake the lead.
But the buy that follows here will be stronger
They should be an all-out 2
I can have them if they want it, yes they do. So tougher test now!
Yeah the toughest test that Senna's are gonna have to deal with here in the second half
Senni has been fantastic since he joined Sandell two months ago
Like I said, he was the best part of that Anonymous and Honorous roster
Of course, um... Ryko another player who is a part of that team on the way and honoris rosta of course um
raiko another player who's part of that team has now joined up with kbk
in europe Yeah, I wouldn't have survived.
We'll lock it down in conjunction with Sami.
Three kills from Youngster
with one magazine out of the A1S,
that's impressive.
Morisco left alone and towards middle.
The bomb has been dropped
in that B-bomb site
and Apartments Control
has been taken as well, so
this one is dead in the water.
I love the CS2 animation there with the feet
on fire. It is
an omen and harbouring her indefin certainly was. This has been such a clean round from Sango!
Paw for Youngster...
Pawpaw will be saved as... Where is it?
Okay, can't find it!
It's fallen behind the furniture!
Bizarre! I mean at least Elemanty can drop one if they want another
but yeah clean round, 4 players alive can't complain about this man what a
defense uses that smoke by van and play so well
around it yeah this is actually a lot more important than one might think.
Because if you fall behind 10-8 against Sango on the CT side I'm not sure if you're going to be able to recover that.
We'll go for the bulk burst,
You've got Oscar who's towards ramp but he doesn't have util I think Shock is
Going back to drop his utility here for Oscar that would make sense or at least
For the util for his teammates to come out of the palace.
They're gonna need some sort of util
to try and get out, man. I don't think there's any world
in which they can out just straight dry.
This is a...
The best use of it on Beastie!
He's using a different postcode!
Where's the orb? Oh no, look he didn't see ZLA. That is worst case scenario for Sinners.
I don't know how you get past this AWP they need to find shooting...
Same thing as the first one.
Anything from here is a bonus, but just stay alive brother!
They can't implant the bomb if you stay alive.
There's a molly on Morisco?
But he's in palace
chase and that was ever so important office scoops but over steps the mark
i'm now getting part of default. There is so much going on, the Unks are coming in from the east at the same time
with L and Z as they connect, let's go make another duel!
And the headshots are saving sinners, they did not have map control.
Rip heads off that... It's not gonna matter. did not have map control rip heads or
lights it's not going to matter lovely
stuff from Mikey I love how he just
forces the issue on samey with that
tech 9 closes the gap, jumping up
as well. So much pressure on Sami
and wasn't able to get
another kill. Everything kind of falls
apart from there
and Sinners will once again regain this lead.
And I don't think that Sango are gonna be able to afford a buy in this next round,
I think they're going to have to just go for the sort of halfpipe
Would be a very ballsy decision if they go for the force here.
Not one I would endorse.
And then I buy.
I think there's still enough to buy an extra on low if they do save you up.
The big kill is Morisco and the other A player,
If they had a player connector or jungle or jungle as well as the Orpah in CT and someone's cover off mid, I really don't see how Sinner is getting the bomb down. It's such a hard plant.
Critical kill! I think that a risk of coming out of palace
that was important and sango will force this could
totally change the series, man.
If Sinners can pull this off...
Dust 2.
Very inexperienced map for Sango.
If it makes it to Nuke, I'm favoring Sango every day of the week.
But...
He said it from the off if any team is
gonna 2-0 it really could be sinners and this gun round takes them a heck
of a lot closer to making that a reality yeah it's a brilliant opportunity for Sangal
because they're not playing against the Orc
and there isn't full utility
for Sangal either
so this is Sinister's opportunity
to really get a strong foothold here on Mirage and take
a big step closer to winning the map.
Can't probably, can't forget it.
Yeah, what's in line right now man? Massive game for both of these teams
sangle might be feeling a bit nervy now they're on the brink big players hand then get him into an after
blonde he was so fearsome in the first half of that
got back off every day of the week she's in a good position
right what have we got nades lined up
jungle stairs perhaps player and palace has mike that's Mikey got a lurker and B stick.
Freeing defence for Sango they've given mid.
Very timely smoke there is a HE there. Yeah!
The HE's in Palace, okay? They can't go through this they'll have to reflect it.
That means the SIGs are going to be late in the round man It is not going to be one where they can take their time
to clear off the bombsite.
There's going to be a lot of moving party up listeners
as they look to get themselves into war today.
Nade does a bit of chip damage as well.
Brings a couple players into that one- shot headshot range for the m4s
these stickers trying to sell the bacon on the opposite side of the map
have been able to find some fantastic opening kills as well!
Oh no, disaster!
That's a disaster is panic stations and Shock can't even get through the door.
Oh my lord!
Eeeewww, was there a missed smoke or something? What's going on there?
That stairsmoke was absolutely not on the map. or something? What's going on there? That scare smoke was
absolutely not on the money, man.
That's a big problem for them.
Where did it land? I need to see it again.
Oh, it's
landed in sandwich.
I think so, yeah. I think it's land on the edge and rolled off or something oh my that is
done the hard part!
I can't believe it. That smoke might have cost them the map.
Learn your smokes boys and girls.
They've done the hard part man, that's the simple one. Learn your smokes boys and girls.
That's the simple one man, stairs smoke every day of the week...
...in my sleep
What a...
Life-threatening angle they've really shot at us here.
Sami especially has been fragged quite a few times on A hits. Yeah.
Wow, they get the chance to breathe...
Obviously this E-Tier is incredibly light.
Xplod's timed out!
He was timing it out a lot yesterday
Clearly having problems
And obviously we're waiting right here to restart the round So that gun unfortunately it might be five alive in terms of the frags but
It was a little bit lost here for that CT side
If there is a world in which...
Oh wait did he actually?
No no he didn't dash down the solo.
He can't carry it through.
But if there is a world in which you'd have that disconnect happen
It had to be that round right?
Like the anti-eco against blocks and one desert
eagle all your teammates alive so i guess the gods in that regard
um blessed him but don't think you'd regard getting disconnected as a blessing by the gods
die in a spot where they can just run over and get his gun.
Yeah?
I think it was Joty yesterday, though...
...that we've seen him walk.
They got really lucky yesterday when they had two disconnects
And they both happened on gun rounds
They happened at the start of this shot And then they hit each other had two disconnects and they both have no gun rounds Way in front! I don't think LNG was ready for that.
Tracer is there...
There's a lot going on right now, same gets aggressive in underpass and gets picked?
Sango just can't stop moving!
Youngster versus V-Stick, this is a massive duel and
V-stick will come out on top that's gonna complete the
open up of this B bombsite still so much time left
on the clock a big kill comes through from xCloud
Kinda cuts the map down in the middle
Sinner's still in
the driver's seat to get across the line
They're just gonna group up as a team now
3 vs 2 xCloud is getting info that there's no further presence now. Three versus two.
xFile's getting info that there is no further presence to use, so it's going to come to his
Turkish compatriot, Yotta
I see how Xfile chooses to play this
He can either hide
and spring his trap
maybe kill the bomb plant or
delay
and hope for this flank to work out.
X-File is going in towards mid, he doesn't know it but it would have been better if he flanks A.
He's moving back into his connector.
There's very little util on this T so they they might have to use the smoke plant off
Joseph Peaks first found an expert finder night he's doing it all himself
and X cloud with the nade to get the job done.
That was scary for the CT side, but they make it work
And they might have saved themselves on Mirage
Yeah, Jota and xploud the two Turkish riflers coming up clutch for Sangal saving the day. It was looking so good from Sinners.
Mikey charging up short initially dealing with the player in lowers.
Then Daimie went down he was left high and dry
He lost his life out as well
It looked like everything had fallen into place
for Cynics to get themselves up to double digits.
But it doesn't happen and now they have to eco
and play for overtime all born off the back
of that Mist Smoke on top of stairs right?
Because if that lands
they guarantee the plant They almost certainly win that round.
And then Sango will have to eco but
That's not the realm we live in
that is a parallel universe
Just can't think about it too much. It is Dust2 up next, we're still stronger than ever and they've certainly given Sango
a bigger scare than we ever expected on that one.
12-9 now, chances for Sango government money in the bank too it's
first time i've had that on this city side
and free chances get what has been a precarious map over the line...
And certainly with these stakes, man.
It doesn't matter how you win these games.
Really doesn't! You just want the pro level.
Nothing else matters.
Obviously the prize when they come come the final tomorrow is going to
be important but in terms of this series Sango don't care if it looks ugly they just need
to win this match. And they're on the rim, one round away from going up 1-0 in this all important game.
Our team who have picked the map, Sooners HAVE to get a job, but our plans are off and right
and we've got a few to work with as well! have to get a job off and riding.
It's going to be to work with as well
What is the call gonna
here from Bstick? I'm surprised
Sangelis over here gets a pipe mid, because it hasn't actually worked
on this easy side it's been a slow
rounds
one himself allen z with another plenty of
frags traded in towards made it goes even numbers and
sinners say we've seen a lot of presence mid you know loop our numbers over game
on youngster got a lot of work to do young man.
Good position for the take-up here as well, no one ever expects this and he will at least get one but trade to the name of the game in this round Oscar takes Youngster down,
Morisco in conjunction with his AWPer
and it's going to be
a hot loss
and I know exactly
where these two
main players are.
Oscar almost
over-faces there
but Morisco will
help him out
down to the 1v1
she keeps in
is alive
and Morisco
will be able
to stand tall
and win the clutch
for his team.
First survives
by oh my
LNZ very good attempt from mr linus
pours out for sangal they have money Oh good to there, so I guess quick discussion on how to make best use of this gun when obviously
losing is about safe and we're going to be very quickly into overtime.
Breathe, Sango. Breathe.
I certainly like to see a more passive opening, I don't think they need to push the envelope so much early round.
I don't feel that's their win condition here.
I wonder if they were committing to that med stack to try and catch sinners off guard because
like you said it hadn't been working for Sack guys, they made the sinners believe he could get
it they wouldn't go MIRRORED! Oscar though does catch x-Flout on the cross.
And that is a three man advantage
now all of a sudden.
And all the time
left on the clock here as well for sinners to cook this round up
they can let it marinate man they've got time here let this one sit in stew Here we go, the rush is over.
Rush has got a gap around the smoke
creeps his way in two players coming from connector mikey behind
jamblin stairs to fight a big kill though.
And they're R3 on location there's plenty of time if Sinners do choose to pull the ripcord
Roscoe starts to walk back Mikey eyes in as well
They might be enticed into this side
Shock! Big Kill! ever so close to overtime
now youngster the only player that can hold on to his sight and he does not last long
it is just samey to save his gun round and...
Well, gonna save the gun isn't he?
He has too.
He absolutely has to when you look at the money here for Sangel
They only get back $100 when they lose this round, and
they're not going to have an AWP either.
Disastrous
for Sangel. Phenomenal for Sinners.
Remember we came down to a
1v1 two rounds ago, and Barisco just just wide swung and he was able to get the kill
And we are now on the cusp of going to overtime here in the first map, Sinner showing their teeth, they're showing their grit
But they cannot afford to
lose this round Alan, they've done so much
work, they've worked so hard to earn this opportunity
up against mp9s of famas and a desert eagle
i don't know what you do!
You can't play a starter at Round of Mirage with this buy.
Obviously, showing their cards, haven't they? With the mid pushing.
And that hasn't worked at all.
The other thing is that...
Sinners will be on high alert in this round.
They've played enough Counter- enough counter strikes have a good guess
at this buy they'll know that sacrifices have been
made and they might anticipate some sort of
aggression so kind of makes it all the harder for sangal oh my word I
would have had a legoplexy if he died again on us.
And well, I'm not sure that was a worthwhile trade.
A youngster is not long for this world
3v4 now to deny overtime and they surely don't have the guns to pull
this off off well overtime looms as you said the double offset it the double lowest setup
yeah just for them unfortunately good flash just to get them to turn around.
Mikey gets a kill and a lot of damage after.
It will fall to xlouder gets killed in the half.
You have to. Both these players
will not get one. Rhymus goes
down as well, and Sinners have done it from
12-9 deficit. They win
three rounds in a row, and they forced
into overtime here on Mirage. i'm so impressed by their tenacity man
i mean it looked like they were done for after they missed that uh stair smoke i thought it
was over but no they're able to regather themselves and show everybody what they're
capable of.
The only question we had for Sango wasn't it? We think
that they are the better team. They might even
have the better individuals here in this playoffs but...
A young team,
they are on the brink of qualifying for an enormous tournament.
A colossal difference to their season come September,
and now the pressure cooker is a boiling point.
It's overtime they they're a man down! Even the best of folks
are here, they need to keep a cool head.
Oh, this yacht is by himself. Not just on the bomb side but on the side of the map.
The gunster's dead and he's trying to rotate across
But it's gonna be a while before you can affect the C4
Drop that smoke grenade And oh yeah
He just leaves him
Explode
Beastie will go down
On the cross to Linus
At least he killed back
In the round for Sangel
But they need more
Passes up now as well
Youngster
Weaving his way
Up close
To the smoke there
He will find A kill back, but
the man advantage persists for Sinus
What?
Sami? Didn't have the best end to regulation.
Now second kill, Morisco gone!
Smoke is well on Semi, he can put that on the bomb but there
is a massive time here ellen's he's got the kids
and he's get towards the site about 20 seconds remaining
finding his time gets hisets his duel become, win it!
Oh, that's a big hold!
Huge recovery.
First round of overtime goes the way I signed out.
It looked so good for Sinner sinners man it was such a strong start for
them here into the round they get that opening kill in middle they've got to
kill on the player under palace underneath the balcony here of this frag right now.
But the responses from Sangel were on point,
and Dainey stands tall. We haven't seen much out of him so far in the map but
his team really needed him to pitch up there in that round
and it's exactly what they get from
him important multi-kill sangal pull ahead by around here at overtime Ramp aggression.
X-Files shot down close, shockers!
The A side of the map defaults are sinners surely soon to be under pressure
first found trade this and and he cannot.
Five on three.
Huge opener.
Sinners needed that.
They've got info as well.
Been able to make their aim towards mid, they've got great map control Shock by Willis. Towards Palace that A bombsite's gonna be feeling so much pressure
Linus has kinda gone back to the scene
of the crime he's got ramifications one kill out of linus he desperately wants multi i mean
one frag is fine but obviously that then gives up his position and he's gotta stay alive now
because his presence alone forces the T side to focus on him.
And maybe that's where the teammates making their way through Cs so you can try and get something done.
One training team might have already and get something done
four found them what a time this would be as it beat his best pad
This is what redemption looks like
LNZ sticks around trying to make something
Just killed the main man but surely this is too much to ask bomb has parted open
no opportunity here
to save the AK
13 for sinners
and a beastly round from
T-Side.
I feel like EastDick has got such
a great handle hold on this T-side, but they've
been just calling these
fantastic rounds so far here for the
Sinners. Constantly very good reads He's been holding these fantastic rounds so far here for us.
Constantly very good reads, great execs
always pushing into the bombsite with a weaker defense
and V-Stick is one of those IGLs where it just kind of feels like he doesn't feel pressure.
Doesn't matter what the situation is, you're gonna get the same out of V-Stick.
In fact, I'd say he gets better when there's more pressure.
The bigger the occasion, the better the IGL on the side of Sinners in my opinion.
Pause for Sanko of course. In overtime extra balls might as well use it.
Sango really need to win this map.
They just need to hold on.
Yeah, and I'd say not only because it's Dust2 next but imagine what their mental state is going to be like if this map does slip away considering they were leading 12-9 at one point.
They gone!
I'm gonna get some pressure here oh
ultimately never expected was he saying what the heck just happened how have I been killed out in the open?
The looseness is punished.
There's so many brags happening across the map at the moment, everybody is intent on taking
duels.
Three-on-three!
Who stabilises first? It really has been an intense map so far.
Both halves in overtime as well, it's just been back and forth throughout man. Both teams fighting tooth and nail for that spot at Pro League. Who will claim it is the question, two teams one spot up for grabs
wouldn't have been the names i picked to feature in this lower bracket final but
here we are they've both done so well to get to this point
but it means nothing if you lose this match.
It's brutal, but it's pretty much true.
And as I said for these two teams world ranking doesn't cut snuff I don't see another world for
them into pro league they fall by the wayside here LNZ
He's the only player on this side of the map
There's not even a player that can watch connector
And look at him being short
So much work to do
Fighting for first Surely gets traded do fight doesn't happen how on earth has he found all three what
a moment what's a moment from that young man yeah he's gotten better and better as mirage has
gone on then that certainly gonna give him some confidence yet to call a strong
t-side going into the second half of overtime but you're absolutely on the
money there Alan how has he not been traded
from the cat player was he just a bit slow was he hesitant could he not find
an angle yeah right there at that moment he swung
the left side of the pillar instead of the right side
and that meant that linus was able to get the kill on
mikey as well
i mean there was a world in which linus
doesn't even get a single frag from that
position and then it's probably round
over but
he stands tall and that earns his team a lead. A one round lead going into the second half.
It's a game of survival, by hook or crook.
Sengal needs to win these rounds.
Okay... He's going over a one round lead looks
like a bit of a drop out um from mikey
i guess hope he gets back in soon.
Exciting end here on...
On Mirage.
Want to get onto Dust2?
And yeah, you mentioned him earlier Morisco didn't have his best
series up against obviously especially
on uh especially on anubis but you know
here he's played a much better game he has been uh
a strong force for this team obviously the first half felt like a lot of oscar but
here and now brisket's doing a lot of good work Yeah, Morisco has been fantastic man. He's pitched up in a massive way here
in this all-important game and he's certainly making a good
case for himself to be added to the team on a full time basis, right? As you mentioned
even if you aren't kind of
contracted or it's not
like you have secured your place in the team. Even if you are a stand-in,
there's still an opportunity to be like
this is what I can offer. This is what
I can do. This is what I bring to the team
and if he can help them qualify for
Pro League, you just can't really overlook him at that point right neither
him nor mikey i'd say certainly there's certainly the case and obviously he's had a great map so far
uh we hope he continues in that vein as well. Hopefully this pause doesn't last too long because
we're right in the thick of it at the moment
But yes, a reminder for guys, this is the consolidation final penultimate game where those will play obviously i call you
tomorrow um both of those teams in the final are in pro league so they're playing for pride
they're playing for the title of course uh the prize money's nothing to sniff out here it's 100
usd course. The prize money is nothing to sniff out either, it's 100,000 USD? So
I'm sure they'll be playing their best counter-strike tomorrow
but yes, for a lot of these teams
it is the Pro League spot that matters
in every interview all we end up
talking about is progressing into probably getting closer
to that spot obviously from obvious side they did
get that spot but yes for both of these teams
um could even be on their mind
at the moment
this pause
and of course
yeah
overtime
the gravity
of this overtime
given how
one-sided
these maps look
in the veto
especially does too
if Sinus can do this they are very confident in the veto, especially does too.
If Sinist can do this they are very close
to Pro League.
You know what I love
about a series like
this is that it's
not like one of
these teams expect
to make it to
Pro League. It's been a fantastic run these teams expect to make it to pro league.
It has been a fantastic run from both Sangle and Sinisee
even getting the position to qualify for Pro League
It is not like we have an Apex or Aurora
Or a Monty, or team who are completely accustomed
To qualifying for Pro League, right?
You've got two teams
who are both so desperate
to qualify for the event
because of what a massive landmark event it is
and how massive a feat
it would be for their career.
So you've got no one who's like complacent or used to being
here you've got two teams that are both very hungry have had word we should be back in game
soon here we go!
Not too long boys and girls...
We actually seem to be back under way, we hope.
That would be nice
give us the unpause there we go game time let's go baby Who is winning this map Alan? Stick your neck out there mate
See it is
Oh he went for it He just did it! The pause... the anticipation.
I had to think about it but...
Yeah?
Individual saved sinners in that two season round with you um
since we're good on the ct side um the one i would add i guess is that
i need oscar but it is
okay let's see if i'm right
oh there he is first the this mode doesn't help shock actually leads
to his demise good damage on the next one but it's not a kill and i'm watching mikey
rascal at the moment from. Morisco though gets two!
Bomb might be planted.
The Sango are licking their wounds.
Oh, there's no way they win this post plant with the big flank coming through from Mike.
He is going to hear all of the footsteps gonna hear all the footsteps first kill for free
second kill not going to go his way but yonna is cooped up in a corner gonna get nailed down mollied
out of position and it's only going to be one kill.
Sinners have levelled up the scoreline here in their first round on CT side
And that will do them a world of confidence
Here we go, this is a real game now. Sangal have been forced to do this the hard way,
very hard way. They frontrunnered on their series against Aurora and
it just
every series becomes more
and more pressured. They're also
underdogs as we mentioned in the pregame
but this time
we expect them to win this especially a mirage
at the moment 14 apiece, old school baby first to 16.
Yeah rolling back ghost isle
I keep making his way up towards the top
of middle, dancing around the edge
and he will be
the first to fall!
That's going to prompt Sangel to make a move
back away from that A bombsite site reassess the situation very important
trade comes through from linus to keep them under level whoever wins this guarantees himself on
that point and guarantees the second set of overtime so this is actually a
really important round for both of these teams It's in his favoring to have numbers mid.
See how Beastie has had to see a lot of A control? He uses his smoke actually. Makes the triple.
Potentially could be from Morisco, he's in some CT as well.
There's no B-8 on him so we can't really see anything. into the city as well
especially with youngster going down.
Oh, no.
CT's coming. Only a speed riding space.
Oh, that is a kill!
Jungle secured.
Bomb is planted.
This is a critical afterplant.
Jota finds another.
LNZ now all that remains, he's in towards jungle.
Smoke was taking him out of it but NAL has to reposition the connector
and wants to line his side onto that bomb bomb smoke in front of it.
Here to hold and shock connects map point
first of them goes the way of Sinners
Oh
thank god we're going to be feeling so aggrieved in both of these rounds on their T side.
In overtime they've gotten into winning positions.
Of course in the first round in OT they're ex-exec into a vacant A bombsite that doesn't go their way.
Second round as well didn't start too well for sangal but still a
good call from linus in the mid-round to get him towards that a bomb site still can't lock it down
and that means sinners are on the brink they're one round away from winning here on Mirage
In regulation, Sangel had three map points
and they couldn't convert any of them
Sangel falls back onto the good old faithful AA exec
but if they lose this round
they go down 0- in this all-important series And they're not on the vestibule.
They have nobody to walk into.
They have nobody on the side of the road.
Sang out, take CT.
Bomb has been planted. Could be on probability instead if you go in for a... the team control three players here work to do and can't get it done man
advantage now for sangal as they seek out ot number two
sango have found the winning recipe and they are just breathing a massive sigh of relief at this point that they've been able to level up the scoreline again and force it into a second set of overtime.
Oh man, again just the A-eggs egg... This time though they right their wrongs from that first round on T side OT
They make sure they get the bomb down
That they keep numbers alive and they get good control to work within the post plants as well
That's the difference
It feels like we've had one bee round in
the last ten
so that was around words
okay
if i pause it looks like Oscar dropped out for a second.
Hope he's back soon. There we go.
Quick restart maybe perhaps?'m sure. Either way...
He's fallen off a little bit mate.
He has! It was what? 12-4 at the start of this game?
Yeah 13 kills after the first half.
He has fallen off a little bit mate. Something at the start of this game? Yeah, 13 kills after the first half.
He has been Moriscoed... Been Moriscos late in his games.
The Morisk Show!
Trademarks.
Let's see, the Sankalp took their pieces
towards mid at the start of this round
They must be so relieved that they've been able to keep themselves alive here on mirage i mean we should be on dust too right now sangle probably should have finished
all proceedings and regulation.
My keys made might actually help us finish off the builder next lap, but it does.
First blood drawn here by Snus.
Break the thumps! oh race to thomas
youngster finds a gap goes through the connector smoke
shock did not expect that shocked in all this back
aggressive is odd it's not advantageous falling apart cards are now in the hands
of sangal playing one hell of a bluff jota
gives space sinners don't know they don't know this
is an a round and they need the numbers here don't
they because they don't have another man advantage to play with.
They need some risk in the right direction and right now,
they are not.
Sango will love to fall back on this A bombsite.
Syndra's gonna go for the gamble stack though, it's understandable they don't have much going
for them but based off of the information I'm a bit surprised
they made this play because B stick is holding B hasn't seen or noticed any presence, and Oscar's flanked through lowers as well.
Toiling with me at Yotta demolishes Oscar who is no longer on the server.
2v4 to Habsack. We'll take care because it's over time but i mean surely this is impossible
bomb goes down just in time b stick along with marisco he's got a big flank
here to work with.
Sami is going to kind of clear the flank, but not all the way.
Morisco knows he's here and he's able
to get the frag. We're down to 2 vs 2
now. Kits on both the remaining players.
Morisco has utility to work with as well.
This is a little bit nerdy for Stangel. Jota will relieve those
important fill that range of B-stick and he finishes off the job as well.
That's a big one! is off the job as well. This is getting very intense now. Here's Youngster, find the gap!
Go through that connector smoke cracks around open 16 to 15 then
over time
keep this going then get two t rounds
they're in great shape. Look at these teams just giving it everything man, back and forth.
Such an important match.
Looks like Sango are setting themselves up for a potential fake towards that
A bombsite, and then they're going to hit B
where Yotta's positioned. you can smoke both stairs and
jungle.
Well there will be the stairs in Jungle Smoke and an opening door in Risco that's going
to force Nike to shift his attention away from that
he's only going to be able to find the one kill
Mikey has been dealt with.
Mad advantage along with a side-care for Sangel
looking to double up their lead.
They want a fight!
They need a fight!
And Sango... Had no reason to present himself- I think you should actually save this orb.
It does not feel like a winnable afterplant to me.
And it is not. 17 of Sengal, they have heated up and then summoned the second battle over time.
Oh it's so back-and-forth and both of these teams have been in a position to win the map already!
Seng's definitely got
the momentum behind them.
If they can make the flawless first half of OT2,
that would put them in a fantastic
position to break up the map man.
There was a 7-5 half time scoreline in regulation for the CT side as well, so
the fact that Zangal's got 2 out of 3 rounds on him and
in fact with an integrate spot Oscar does make The fact that Sangel's got two out of the three rounds in a great spot.
Oscar does poor blood,
first frag found, not gonna slow Sangel down
though. This is minus consistency with the charge
but he's going to force into his hole!
What a fantastic support flash coming through from Oscar!
Mikey wants to get in on the mix as well and all of a sudden,
It's only Youngster left remaining.
Bomber drops in mid...
Even if he finds B-Stick...
Which is no damage for his trouble, so it will be 16 for Sinners.
You can bet on that Youngsteer's gonna try and make something happen, but...
Every avenue is covered.
You see they're covering every way to the path of a billion.
No he does not! 16 seconds left. Half a billion.
No he does not! 16 to 17 it's gonna be.
The Essiners needed that right? Just to give themselves a little bit
A tiny bit of room to work with going into this T side
But it's gonna require a masterclass on the T side
They need 18 to secure another set of overtime
And they need all 3 rounds on the T side
to win the match from here.
We didn't see that happening
I love how keen Sinners are to make plays
It's not like they're playing
conservative scared Counter Strike,rike right they're happy to try and throw themselves at
sangle that it's calculated it's not just all out aggression i can say the same for
some girls both teams have been looking to be active here on
the map.
All right back into the game we go! The end not in sight A lot of patience here from both teams.
Nobody willing to commit. No smoke, not from Maresco. That one is going to miss. I can't see anything top mid.
And for now nobody's really rotated but least now sinners have a
different prong to their at the same time Jota
caught out in the open he didn didn't expect players to be so close.
X-File moddies behind this connector, so I can just send a full decent call.
Good flash and good awareness!
Clinic... absolute clinic of a take from Sinister. awareness, clinic. Absolute clinic
of a take from Simmers
Yeah textbook right
clip that watch that one back
That is a perfectly weighted execute coming through
from Simmers punishing the aggression initially and then falling into
play straight afterwards good util usage and fantastic shooting it's only youngster left
but he doesn't have a hope in hell here sinners on course to level up the scoreline
here
and we cannot separate these two teams Alan
Well that at some point.
Can't both get the throwing spot?
Okay, well...
There will be another map point to one of these teams in a moment.
Jerry's already come alive on this map. LNZ has been brilliant as well.
In these big moments they might be able to produce some magic
Never import other Star Players Never important to other star players.
Strapped to run dry, the playbook is shown
Individuals sometimes can make the difference
Maybe we heard this from earlier, a man that's called off by his can make the difference.
Man that's called off a little bit, Oscar is already out. Man advantage for
Sango!
I feel like it has been Nike and Obiswood here in overtime so far that have been carrying
the mantle for Sinners. The two players you at least expected to be, but they've
been fantastic!
Can't fall off yet though, they can't clock out.
Work to be done, winner of this round gets that point
Pressure being applied in towards that A bombsite
That's gonna force the X-Bowl to turn
It's really well done!
Forcing that player to shift his focus allows the Shock to get boosted up into snipers
and now he cuts the map down the middle. There are two players on either bombsites
Sinus could go wherever they like from here and they'll have an advantage
so much going on. Ah, there's Shock.
LNZ!
Critical kill.
Now he needs to root himself back onto B.
Mount a defense...
It's gone! Mounted defense. LNZ will not be denied on B!
Another map points handed to SsangDao
I feel like the theme of this map is that it's been players
You don't expect to be the ones who are putting their hands up
Linus has got himself 30 kills the igl of sangal doing a fantastic job. Yeah, fragging like a madman
Then you've got mighty and Maurice doing a fantastic job here, fragging like a madman.
Then you've got Mighty and Morisco as well.
Might be more recently. Sure, you look at the numbers it doesn't really look like it but he's been
contributing in a big way these past 8-9
rounds. Morisco has been a massive force for Sinners as well, we need
those top star players to stand up here and Sango they have a chance here to right their
wrongs and finish off their map game. This time Sting is ready for it, doesn't get caught off by that fast cat play.
Oscar is on the deck and he'll just have to get the job done with a man deficit.
Four to go. That's the mantra here for second down for Sami.al caught out in the open risk go through
the smoke
come on okay molly forces x-flat right just found another maybe we're due another bad of overtime
not if lmz here there's anything to say about it but when the dust settles
it's still a man advantage for sinners sangala lacking information and they are
so spread out
Sinners have info, B-Stick was in ladder room He heard Linus rotating back and forth
So they'll know for a fact that
Linus is still towards the three bombsite
And he needs a multi kill mate they spotted him out
opposite side of the map right now he's only going to be able
to get the one kill yotta needs to clutch one versus two
and it's gonna take him a while before he's even
able to get in position here
To effect this one versus two
Footsteps certainly hurt so I still know exactly where he is coming through from right now
And they're on the brink of forcing this into a third set
Overtime Arisco won't be able to finish it off just yet,
Yotta at least gets himself out of the market window.
Seems to have a pretty good idea as to where the AWP is positioned themselves
so he'll drop a smoke on the bomb as well.
Lookies to try
and force the players out
he's taking down
the first
it's all on B-Stick
to try and deny
his defuse
it's gonna have
three shots
in this mode
he's off the mark
though
and Yotta
will stick
with the defuse
and win a highly unlikely one versus two clutch to complete the map for his team
I can't believe it. That's how ends
A pawn for sure, and he manages to stick
it
oh that is unbelievable that is unbelievable
sangal survived the onslaught that is mirage
sinners gave out everything absolutely everything obviously
the mistletoe standout at the, both teams have so many chances.
When a map goes that deep everyone's making mistakes.
I'm a little bit stunned,
that was not meant to be a close map
and obviously it couldn't have been any closer.
At the same time though, I don't think Sinners are going to be taking that away from the map
They're gonna be pretty aggrieved that they weren't first of all able to force it into another state of overtime
Or actually win the map itself right they had a map point in the first set of over time it went awry and they've been punished which is just so
brutal man um i love the way that Yotta plays that clutch as well, drops
a smoke on the bomb, taps the defused
forces the apartments player out and then sticks
it afterwards. Masterful stuff coming
through from him amongst the pressure.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of the young guns here
were the heavy hitters
for both teams
so
I'm so impressed
for them
but yeah
I think
the main thing
for Sin is actually
just not to panic
because Dusty
really favoured
for them
in this veto.
Obviously they invested a lot into
that, but yeah. Let's take a look at our
player torch coming to us when it was
xFlowered I believe
going into map number one. He wasn't bad here, those weren't his stats but he
was not at his best I know he played a little bit better so hopefully maybe in Dust 2
they will need their individualists. Definitely on the map dust too uh we can see him hitting even harder
yeah it was his turkish compatriot yotta was the one who was doing most of the damage for sangel
linus was the player who did so much work as well man a fantastic individual performance from him
i feel like he called a great t side as the b stick unfortunately for sinners they do falter on
the map they go down zero one in the and it means they're one map loss away
from losing out on that spot
at Pro League. On the flip side, Sangel,
if they can win Dust2, they will secure
that spot, man. Everything on the line
right now. We're going to be jumping into Dust2 next
but before that we are going to have a short break. so 🎵 so so so so so so so I'm going to go ahead and do that.
I'll just take a look at the map, see if there's anything else we can find. so so so so so so so so so so
you so so so so so so so so so so so Thank you. so so so so so. so so so so so Thank you. so so so so so so so so. so so. so so so so so. So, so so so so so so so so welcome back then consolidation final here sinners versus sangal map one that was the pick
of sangal just about went way, double OT in the end
getting it over the line. Map
number two is up next. That's going to be Dust2
this is a map that's heavily favoured
over towards Sinners
and we certainly expect this to be
another intriguing affair. Hopefully
for the sake of the series
Sinners can come through it and get us to a map 3
because that map 1, I'll tell you what
I want to see some more of it and hopefully Hayes is here
To join me in the excitement
Here he is.
There we go.
I can hear him! I'm not doing any mix.
Alright, sorry about that. Mini disaster on my side won't go into
details but I am here and back and and i'm here stay um hopefully no disasters
for sinners or sangal in the break uh it was a rough display oh i wouldn't say rough display
but a pretty rough ending to that first map for Sunna
is the way things fell apart in that last round.
They're probably thinking about
that next set of overtime at one point
but then Jota had his say and was able
to finish off Mirage.
Yeah, indeed. I i mean sango for the very end of uh
yeah overtime did look brilliant but they had their moments in regulation when they weren't playing their best counter strike. That should have been a map pretty convincing
in their favour, I mean they're a much
well-versed Mirage team and had good
results of late so we were a little bit
surprised to see it so close but Dust2
I guess the big question for this one is
just on a raw
data level
Sangle have played it twice. They've only played
it once within the last three or four
weeks. That was against 3D Max they lost that 13-7 but even though
they've lost their games I still don't think there's enough data to you know say where they
are on Dust2. Who knows what CS they're going to be playing today.
And if we're saying that it means that Sinners wouldn't have had much
to go off of either right? Prepping coming into this game
Wouldn't have a whole lot of demos to watch
To try and see what the tendencies are who plays which
positions on the map so it could work for sangle i don't know if that's his
copium but it could work in their favor as for sinners it's a must-win map man
must win map they started off in the upper bracket
up against Koiya. They lost that series to try
qualify for Pro League. They got a second
life and this is that life
they're down 0-1. Dust2
carries all the weight all the the gravity now for sinners to try
and keep themselves in contention.
Absolutely does,
they can't make any mistakes.
Unfortunately we're hearing that
map could take a little bit of time to get underway
so we'll make a little bit of a break and hopefully when we're back
we'll be into dust too to see if sango can 2-0 this series we will see you then so so so so so so so so Thanks for watching! so so so so so so so so. all right we are back and we're gonna be getting into the second map of this all-important game.
Sangle lead the series 1-0
And they get a choice of sides coming in dust 2 as well must win map for sinners
The most important map of their lives alan. Yeah, it's a bit hyperbole but you get what I mean
Probably is from mariska and mikey
yeah true certainly if uh Probably is from Mariska and Mikey. Yeah, true.
Certainly if they win this then the third will become ever so important.
Oscar though opens the scorecard!
And they need him on this map Dusty's always been an awful power ranger
I can see it inside, he just wants to play around with them
Oh no, so many missed
shots. It's not looking good at all. I can see
the double back into shock here as well
They've got him locked in and that's
a statement made by Sinners in the pistol round.
They wanted nothing to do with the bomb sites themselves, they set themselves up on catwalk
and they just take the fight as time goes. go There it will be.
See if I can keep their numbers alive. That is the goal.
Yeah, we were talking about how Sangal for the first time here in this run would be the favorites coming into this match.
And it did look like that favorites tag got to them a little bit.
I mean, you would have casted yesterday but I've been casting them outside of this competition and normally
they look a lot more composed than what we saw on Mirage, i'd say.
It happens.
Look in the face of adversity and come through it. So I did survive that map one,
and that really was the aim
of the game from
frankly the whole map
was pretty back in the 40 that my points at the end of
regulation why not here we go then guns out Oscar does have an AWP.
And let's see Sango, no doubt
able to practice a lot of dust too
you can't have a hole in your map Paul
So I'm very intrigued
to see what they have for us.
I feel like
they had to have known
that Sinners were going
to pick Dust2
coming into this match as well
because their permaban's Inferno
that's Sinner's first pick
that's out of the equation uh mirage is something sinners
like to play tango picked that so by deduction they must have been ready for Dust2 here.
I'm not sure something is going to expect him at all.
Yeah? Where is our right now?
Nothing pushes them back, and now they've learned the hard way.
Youngster though comes good Oscar gone bomb now and it
did is pumped in
actual control He's got short control, but shots are outside of long.
Youngster, a little bit ahead of himself.
By the way so there is good utility as well on CT side and now they've lost their lurk.
Now they have lost their lurk
into this laney
and shooting
too much
makes it
two
incredibly
awkward
Mariska didn't have line of sight, Shock could've given up his life there.
Yeah! I was nervy man those jump spots. There's a world in which Stainey gets
those three kills in very quick
succession, unfortunately he couldn't hit the third
shot there. Two kills two comes through
quickly from him there that's that third shot I'm talking
about. In fact he could have almost gotten all
four in this phase of like a second and a half.
That might've been the clip of 2024, you know?
Not to be!
And uh... not quite lost most bonus just yet, think about an investment so...
So now I'm going to pistol scout out for LNZ
Default towards the good side of the map I think Sango has a lot of respect but even on these sort of rounds, punch throwbodies away they need to do damage.
Now we route in towards mid to try and achieve just that.
Shit! trying to achieve it just that. I'd love to drop a couple of these CTs for
some reviving weapons
How can you find theners. There's no utility, bar a single smoke grenade that gun's not recoverable either so...
Things still look pretty good here for CT side they've gotster with the AWP posted on the angle, no flashes
to force him back. If Sango could get a planter that would be really nice.
Nike's come off long.
And this can make all the difference, Oscar is going to flip into holding that position
I can see it out of the open
Awkward! Doesn't finish his food
3v3 now doesn't finish his food
it's a decent try it is good damage but it's not a round win.
Yeah and that was actually on the cards at one point there
potentially winning the round for Sango
after they hit that shot on Mikey towards the A bombsite, I'm thinking they could be in trouble here.
The CTs but yeah Sangell's decision making to drop two players down unfortunately doesn't work out
the way they would have hoped and it means as you say, Summers start off with
four in a row here certainly will bolster the confidence coming into this all-important
second map. Level up to 4 line and take us to Nuke which is still not good enough for sinners but. Double off on the cards!
Releases it a little bit off. Nobody here to punish.
What do you do now if you sangal it could just look straight towards the
site hits here or a split maybe of being parts there's so much remaining
beautiful things like that so intent to play the range game on their AWPs still two full belts Mikey
and Oscar. There isn't that much time left in the round either.
Let's see, Sankalp have got to do a good job to navigate this much U2 and get a bomb plant.
Yeah, they're trying to just employ a bit of misdirection here.
Pressure middle then no further presence.
A slow-cancellation towards catwalk, no further presence now!
They will show their hand.
Making their way through middle with numbers. There is one
smoke made left remaining here for the C-side
That awkward barisco
key to smoke. Good for one. Is that
enough? It looks like it will be, absolutely!
It is a field day for the CT side. Picking apart Sangel
Lim from Limm as they try to make their way in towards mid
They tried different angles of pressure,
but Sinners were always in
the right location and they had the flanks going as well
by the time the split was actually engaged
Paws out from Sangell and that's not a surprise
i guess they're also debating an investment here
but i don't know this feels like too much for your half-bias
what the doctor is ordering at the moment.
They can't find a route into this area, so they're also losing so many opening kills.
That is not sustainable.
Alright.
Perhaps just the sole hero AK on X-Files?
No, Jota and Youngster buying up a little bit but it is a half buy.
They're not going all in.
Very reminiscent of the second round buy is what this looks like.
Yeah true. I mean they've actually got a pretty decent amount of firepower to work with considering
it's an eco round
Well the scout will land a tag Double AWP setup in Cloysia
Shock with that second AWP
Hasn't started the round away he would have liked
But, not the end of the world.
Could be in trouble though because he's tagged
it turns Linus' scouts into an orc
and that duel, and on back to back
those angle are thinking well let's try and take space a little.
And they take more than just space, they take millions,
They take lives!
Mikey backpedaling into Marisa hard
Desperately trying to find a way to affect
The defense and between himself and Beastick They will find a way to affect the defense and between himself and beastie they will
find a couple frags question is do sinners attempt the retake
oh no maybe if roscoe findsFile, but now this is too much.
Surely...
If I can be up to beat him.
Terrorists win!
That was juicy, but it's not going to influence the round.
Lifeline for Sango, half by
when nets them around
they'll also ensure there is some money in
the bank because they've scooped up some rifles to boot
and actually despite losing a lot of rounds angle they did keep the
money low it's not like sinners have big reserves they've invested practically everything
here yeah so an opportunity and opportunity to recover this half for the turkish base squad
yeah you win this round 5-2 then and at E go afterwards on a certainly 5-3 so you bang
on the money.
Sangle have got their foot in the door here.
Can they force it open is the question?
And it looks like they're going to hammer home on the Stompsite once again.
They'll know the players closed
base from the trajectory from the smoke grenades question is do their respect or
not it looks like I will for now set themselves up in towardsisa trying to lock it down and they'll work together
nicely great kills initially
and despite the fact that maurice goes down an advantage will persist you for the CT side.
Yet again, Sango playing from a deficit.
This time it's the. It thwarts them!
Right...
Lost a move.
Lost a move from here. Setting up for favoring mid to win this engagement
and he does so at least long is retained, that will come in handy.
Which means developing some retail util now being employed of course Sango unaware
That A is open for business they're doing this the stolen steady way.
Bombs should get planted.
Problem is all the time...
...they are wasting essentially going out of control.
Plays into short smoke with a keystone. and wasting essentially going out for this control.
He plays into short smoke with a key-snip play.
Oh, it's actually the smoke towards short has forced Summers back entirely.
Oscar is going all the way around through long
to try make the retake happen
And Shock has gone down towards CT
Sami is looking towards Long here as well
So he's gonna scope trained on the correct side of the map
There's no kit between Oskar and B-Stick
They'll still edge their way forward They're're gonna consider that Oscar's late peek could work perfectly
but he goes for a very quick shot and that means he's gonna miss it.
Now Sami is ready for it, I don't think there's a way in here, no!
We've already reached that 10 second mark
even though Eastic kills Youngster, the round is over
I thought that Sangil had lost
their chance to win the round when Yotta goes down
to Mikey at long
but somehow
Sami and co are able to recover I can't believe
I can't believe sanga won this round that's daylight robbery
wow after mikey kills the long player i mean look here so it's a clean five on
three mikey kills the long player four until
you have long why is mike Mikey taking a fight? Just hide.
Just retain long control
at any cost.
If you retain long,
Saini can never peek into CT.
And if he does,
you swing long and you kill him. That's a big mistake. A
big mistake we saw some of these younger players making arrows up against Morgan
Stark Coyne. I hope that doesn't cost them, man.
Because...
You only need to blink and Sango
will be way back into this half.
Yeah, that's the problem! I mean it was a strong start but
that's all it was is a strong start and that's not going to win you
the map.
Sango are so formidable. I mean seeing these shots on the pit player as well was just disgusting.
I mean, Sinus have got the correct read here. Most of their players stacked up towards a safe bombsite.
They're on ramps, so one smoke grenade would
be very effective here to just block it off entirely and there we go.
Okay no! No need to clear the smoke, we're just going to get a double kill on this raid out.
I'm off from fight...
I can easily deal with another bomb crosses saying he's a deal bargaining for oh no pistols doing damage
all on lnz it is screwed this is a dangerous game!
And he wins it. Wow
I mean, it feels impressive as a good save
from LNZ but that's all it is.
They should never have got back close.
Sango,
they've won a half-by,
they've won a 2v4
and they just survived
an almost loss against Pistols.
They are
clinging on by fingernails right now on Dust2.
Yeah, can you imagine how Binus' heart must be racing right now?
Sami was double-scoped in.
That was the problem.
We're never going to get shock on that that angle He hadn't realised he had already crossed
And then Linus even with the jiggle there to try and take down
Shock's AWP was very
brave coming through from him
Thankfully Shock doesn't hit the shot and into another gunman
we go, but Sango's gonna try to go through this long smoke with R4 ready for it then
another player where that came from and they'll trade Dinkz aka TrumpsDM4 into a 4 vs. 4 and Simon will have plenty time here to try
and find a way to make this round work. The position worked, the AWP is spotted but they both missed.
How does Oscar escape?
Surely he doesn't, right?
That's how you get out!
This man speaks the language of cricket shots. Youngster though collects the aggression
when wrist-cut is down shock they were unexpected and now these
remaining players are a little bottled in x-files ever so low send him in first
LNC will be here for the trade
feels like sinners have to have them so contained i don't know where you go
no avenue is safe yeah no obvious options for them either so So they're gonna have to try and force their way through somewhere
I mean right now the best option is mid
He'll see it in that direction!
In timely fashion he will be able to get a kill. Linus has the bomb on
his back, Shock is in towards tunnels right now and Linus had just cleared
that didn't see shock he might still be able to get up towards this B bombsite
it's all about the timing and the cts aren't certain
that he didn't make his way up short onto cat right like that might just be in the back of their
minds but shot has a chance but only for the briefest moment.
Shock will finish off the round with a good double kill coming through from him
And I mean that double push in towards mid is actually what makes the difference there
Because if Youngstick kills CT and there's no trade then
sangal are straight back into the round at that point
see the problem now as well with winning close rounds it's not like tango of
economic reserves
scene is looking comfortable here some of these rounds
shock there if shock had been felt after the first couple of shots,
that would have been too much to bear.
Okay.
Sangle are going to fall through an investment.
But needless to say say the util is lacking one smoke
remaining 1 minute 29 you better hope you avoid oscar because there is just not the util here to deal with an author Such a big round for Sangel, because if they lose those 7-3s...
Big kill!
Oh, shock. Yeah that's a really wide swing to try and deploy the incendiary.
It costs him his life and...
Oh Morisco does not have to expect this he doesn't have to but no!
Morisco turns and burns 180 degrees!
I thought he was dead for all money
But somehow it will become
good with the frag and they've doubled up
in the tunnel right now to try and get this kill
on Morisco. He seems to have
x-clouds gone through, he'll
die, youngster trades, but there is more where that came from
In the meantime, Linus remains rooted on that B bombsite
There is a kit and there is utility
Retake very much alive right now for Sinners
At this point, the MP9s are youngster busy so that they can be guaranteed
a two versus one on the b bomb site itself linus trying to navigate he's got no room
to work with he can't hit the shots either!
And Mikey with the kits on the defuse and Sinners have made it happen.
What a map this has been from VCs,
It was so annoying there as well on my MP9.
Wow, Sinners.
Sinners have made a couple errors here.
This could've... They've really played
a really good CT half.
The few errors is why sango has rounds
um but all in all the overall approach that proactivity the reactions
sinners know what they're doing on Dust2
there's no doubt about it
and if Sango is going to eat an eco this late in the half
It's gonna be 8 surely for sinners
And this map is pretty T-sided at the moment
so...
They are playing so well
Definitely goes against the grain, and at this point I imagine Sango are just relieved that they won on Mirage because imagine they'd lost that map.
And they have the insurance policy as Nuke is their dec, which will be a comfort ground for them.
But...
Have to focus up right here, right now.
Try and find the way to get back on track here.
Course correct on Dust2.
As they set themselves on course for that A bombsite.
Problem is, again, lack of utility.
One smoke grenade for Sami
but no flashes to force
that A player back means it's going to have to be a dry
push, probably a run boost as well.
They're looking for a bomb launcher to get a bit of extra money out of the man you just highlighted, G-Stick. He's now got 15 kills, man!
Not a few signs of slowing down any time soon either.
His teammates will join up and the retake looks as good as done. okay Two rounds to last though.
LNZ is alive in every late round at the moment as it was at the end of Mirage
And there you have it
Eight, four Sinners
There's a few guns here but it doesn't matter It matter the last round of the half so they'll be buying up anyway
and uh
this is just damage limitation for sangalal, isn't it? They've struggled so much on gun rounds in this half.
Yep.
So much! They've lost a lot of opening duels, they've really struggled to get the map control without
losing numbers and what's more importantly getting hesitant and then
see seeding ground and getting flanked design time feels like
this is a niner
and it looks like it's gonna be a very simple approach of the sangal to try and catch up with his first half but they've been running towards the D-bomb side but they run into some
stone resistance. They've got an A
kill but there's been three in response
at least they've been able to isolate this D-bomb
side for that and we guarantee them site control
Morisco will stand tall a marvelous effort from him three kills to
complete the half nine three that is complete an utter decimation out of sinners and that'll
do a world of good for their confidence as well here on
the second map. Of course Mirage went to
overtime, second overtime where
they eventually lost out but
haven't shown to have taken a step
backwards from that map. They are playing some fantastic counter strike right now
I'm gonna be taking a short break when we come back
We'll find out if they can finish off in the second half so so so so so so. I'm sorry. so so Thank you. so so. Second half of map 2 about to get underway.
It was a masterclass from sinners on their ct
side and they now flip to the favorite side of the map alan there are four
rounds away from seeing the likes of nuke i fully
expect that happen you in the same camp oh yeah I don't see every back into this frankly if there is what it
has to be getting his heart off a good start if you are saying one kill found for Swiftly traded long seeded to this C Terra side.
It's just Saimi on the A-side of the map he needs his teammates to push mid urgently
To at least secure short control and he'll be got that as marisco on the lurk oh baby church doesn't, gets one crucially before trade it's 3 on 3 now.
Yeah and now it falls on Saimi and he has got the cross on lockdown under lock and chain
three brilliant headshots coming through from samey to secure the pistol round here for sango
And that does start things off in motion exactly the way that they needed
I mean, the pistol round was a must win round here for sango, and they've been able to check it off the list.
We take those.
WE TAKE THOSE!
That was juicy...
I enjoyed that.
Feels good. I enjoy that. This feels good, it's a real good all over.
What have we got here?
Reasonably heavy eco, Oscar will scout again in the following twice more here
and that's what Sango need to do isn't it? They need to settle into this easy side
obviously this one is an eco but uh early gun round wins
equally will be critical
it's not unsamountable we know in cs2 with mr12 that
needs to minutes quickly.
These kills could be all in game.
Yeah, I didn't expect it to go down the way it does but they've got themselves a couple kills here on the T side.
Shock's got the scouts as well.
Unfortunately, good idea to pass this one to E6 but unfortunately it's not going to
happen.
Good clean up comes through from xFlau,
nade M4 combo the one two punch to finish off
the round and they reduce
the gap to four as you say though
all eyes on this gun round
for Ssangirl. This is going to prove whether there's a comeback
on the cards or not. Okay, no Wolf on the CT side.
I don't think they've really got one.
They haven't banked up enough cash so...
Getting all their rifles and look at this!
A 4a start
four for long sinners are coming they're about to meet some resistance
sango surely needs to fight when he gets many numbers over first goes
with an expert i, make it two.
Remaining Sinners players are rattled there
not coming out of these long doors.
This is the Sango
we wanted to see.
Yeah, that's exactly it man as well as going with it, Sangal are pitching
up on the CT side and Sinner's
well they were probably thinking
maybe just a little bit that they've done
the job in the first half and that dust 2 was as good as done
But zangal are giving them something else to consider here
Job not done in this round though five versus three. This backs the scene of the crime here
The kill is collected. Smoke cleared out I think that was a T-Nade that clears it out.
Either way no damage done.
Sinners take long control but they've only got a single smoke one flash
It's not gonna be easy to get into the bombsite from here
They have got a molly for car as well whether they use it or not is still yet to be decided
But it looks like they fully committed to the long push.
Seems unlucky doesn't it?
Jota peeks!
Uh yeah what's going on there then?
Ooh SandGal taking some risks here.
xFild handed them the round on a platter.
An absolute platter.
Five-on-three CT side of Dust2 with long control.
You're punching those ditties in every single day of the week but now jeopardy on
the horizon and it gets spotted oscar for two that could be the moment the dust who slipped between the fingers of sangal
well you were talking about how in the interview yesterday xlab mentioned
that discipline was one of the most important qualities
of sengal's success and yotta doesn't keep up with that
mentality he steps out from car unforced nothing actually you know he
didn't have to take that peak but he did cost him his life and
everything just falls apart from there for sangel and they've decided to force by here as well
understandable with only one counter roundground loss bonus behind them.
Lose this force and the map is as good as done if it isn't already.
Wow. Wow, I don't know what to say. Denialism!
Cannot afford to drop the ball again.
Man, look at him!
That guy should have converted to a easier spot.
Wipe some of those ones.
Four alive... even better. this but those ones four alive team benefits
look at that 4 AKs for the
defense money in tatters for sinners
Linus my brother You're a man possessed?
I mean it looks like he wants to get himself to pro league
He did have a fantastic performance on Mirage
30 bomb on the first map
I mean obviously a lot slower here in terms of the fragging on dust too but when it matters the most he's able to come alive it's gonna be a four spy from
sinners a single wingless 10 7 then an anti-eco. 10-8. Game on
at that point. They've saved themselves. Have
Sangel. This was a
lot of work to be done here.
And you know what? Losing that previous round
might have been the wake up that they to stay locked in here and stay fully focused
ok, ok This is going to be an even game very quickly if Sanger can just convert this round. It's not a good buy, there is such little util.
So much will hinge on the first point of contact.
Moving back towards Long, Jota is the only player around.
Saimi does have a flashbang to lend a hand.
It's not been Jota' best map, is it?
He had a good Map 1 but...
Not so much here and now he's playing off-angle.
Here comes that contact!
No nades.
He's looking for fights. Oh, he's got no support.
He's got no support, Alan.
He's gonna have to try and clone someone.
He's looking to be proactive!
He wants to step on them instead of getting stepped on.
Unfortunately it's just damage coming through from him.
Minus though will re-assume
the position, get himself two kills as a result
and that keeps the numbers level. Guns
are recoverable though
and the round is very much alive for both of these teams it's got to be a
person as an easy agree statements shock no two found headshots 13 seconds the Shock, though. Two found. Headshots.
13 seconds, though.
Is there time?
Cross to Bomb.
Bomb gets dropped for shock.
Makes it a three-piece.
Sinners.
How they're winning these rounds, I do not know.
But they are so close now to a third map.
It's beyond me.
It's completely beyond me how they're winning these rounds.
They keep on doing it, going against the grain,
against the run of play when no one expects them to
is when they do their best work and Shock
what a big round for him to get this triple kill as well
15 frags in the map so far
Even though Sinner has had
2v1 they're working against the clock
as weeeelllll... Oh and Oscar gets
the collateral! That's the final nail in the coffin
If not the final, certainly a significant one.
Hammers home on Sangel
B bombslide open
that's the read and controls taken by
Sebi desperately rotating
How has Linus gotten two kills?
Both of the long players dead.
This round's not done just yet.
Jota faces through the smoke
and he's reduced it back to an even numbers game.
I don't know what's happening.
Nobody does.
This is crazy.
That was too much though body armor and he has no kit, no nades. Been a wild round but I think it's crazy against what we just ended here. Nobody presenting this is impossible
It's gonna be 12 for Sinners. Oh my
goodness. I mean, it always was supposed to
off the back of the Oscar double but
it gets a hell of a lot closer than we thought it would
However, Sinners have earned themselves six map
points! They're on the brink here of taking us to Nuke,
the third and final map waiting in the wings. And I'm really glad that we are going
get a third map here as well because i mean such an important game
absolutely deserves Hmm...
I don't see how Sango can possibly get this to overtime.
The buy is pretty dreadful outside of the AWP
Here we see that opener again, it does do what happens
But at such a crucial juncture.
Fortune finally coming the way of sinners.
Here we go! This is how they want to end it! Fast B round!
Early smokes through is just young stuff
M territory 5-7 3k, whacks are on early
those are collected 4v2 now bomb gets planted So much use to go onto these choke points
We're going for map 3
And I'm very excited about the prospect of a third and final map win
There's so much in the balance
This is such an important game for both of these teams,
these players, the organizations, the staff.
It goes so much deeper than just a game of Counter Strike and Zayme will fall.
Sinners conclude proceedings here on dust 2 with the devastating
blow in towards that B bombsite and that will see them as the victors to their
own pick. The only sort of consternation I can think of for Sango is
that they won Mirage, mate.
Because...
Imagine if they had actually lost that map in that first set of oversights
Would have been devastating for them
They had the insurance policy of the third map
And it's being called upon here. It's being invoked.
But it won't.
But it's not.
Nuke to come up next, we
certainly expected coming into this
veto given the lopsidedness of the picks it would be a pretty map affair
going down to meet in the end but the fashion, the route we've gone to reach here was most
unexpected. This map has had a few small mistakes in the first half from sinners
they were there are different beasts here they really do know that us too this will
be uh be a great map for them moving forward. The Nuke...
I'm not sure what's coming up
next, and certainly
if you're Sango, you need to keep a cool head
because that map would have stung.
You really never felt like you had a room into Dust2
I'd just say, the one
consistency about this match is that there's
been nothing consistent about it and its been all
over the show. Rounds we never expect
to be 1 by 1 team they're to just clean up with ease, you know
Maps being dominated completely going against the grain lots of mistakes being made
So we can't really make any inferences based on the past as to what nke's gonna look like, yeah Alan?
No we cannot.
No we can not. Either way
it's going to be a quick break for us.
Nuke up next! Winner goes
to Pro League! You don't want to Pro League.
You don't want to miss it. I'm going to go ahead and do that.
I'll just have to get the key out of this room. so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so Thank you...
. so so so so so so.
.
. so so so so so.. so so so so so so so so. so so. so so so so so for the third and final time, we are back.
We are going to a third map here in this all-important ESL Challenger League game.
Sinners and Sangel have been fighting through the regular season
fighting through this playoff bracket to earn one thing alan and that's for a
spot at pro league and it's nuke
it's new between these teams both of them have played a lot of new considers
not necessarily uh the best map for them historically they had a massive lost street
kid and they uh what's that ten no nine maps a row. I won a few more as of late but they did lose to Movistar Core in pretty handed fashion so I'm not sure if we obviously from the onset of the series
we felt like Sangal
are probably
the better team
but as the series
is borne out
I'm not sure
that's the case
here and now
over average
over a lot of games
I would say
it's kind of
a fact at the moment. But right now
Sinners are playing their best CS
for at least the last few weeks
and that's all they need to do
just survive this series
I reckon in a third map like this you you throw the stats out of the window.
Let's just highlight our player to watch,
our Qadir player to watch here as well from that previous map.
xFlowed he had an okay showing it was in a losing cause
He goes 16 for 15. He kind of
held his own and it feels like everybody around him
really struggled.
Still though, it's not... Compared
to the semi-finals
I guess the lower bracket final.
He's not in the same form he was when they beat
Aurora.
They'd love to have him back in that
form. The individuals that beat them,
the one that is against Aurora really jota.
And XFile has been...
Sabine LNZ's been the best player in this series so
I'm not saying they've been missing
I'm just saying if they want to go all the distance here
get this series over the line
The heavy hitters are the men that can do that damage
and X-Files is one of them
Yeah absolutely, he's definitely going to have
to pitch up as you can see on the graphic at the bottom of the screen.
Nuke decider if needed and it is need. We do require a third map
to separate these two teams. Statistics point in the direction
of Zangal not only because we know that they
do enjoy the map. We saw Sinners the other day
on Nuke and it wasn't...
Excuse me, it wasn't a great showing from them
but I don't think that this is
a discussion about statistics anymore or what's happened in the past
because what we saw on that previous map was, like you say, Sinners playing their best Counter-Strike.
And they need to do it again. They need to do it again.
They do make some mistakes. And they need to do it again. They need to do it again,
they do make some mistakes
but they still are a team that in essence is playing
with either two standards or two very new players
so whatever way you cut it there's going to be holes
There's no way around it there's gonna be holes. There is no way around it.
There are going to be some mistakes here coming out from them.
It's just can the baseline be good enough?
Can individuals be great?
Morisco has obviously had a pretty good series.
Someone who didn't show up in their Mobi-Sakoi game,
but no.
Yeah.
I'm still leaning towards Sango.
I still feel like they're the better team.
They beat Aurora yesterday. Maybe... i still feel like they're the better team they beat aurora yesterday
um maybe i want to see a little bit more
out of someone like xcloud
but i think their team play should be
good enough to win this
if they can revitalize
what they have had for the rest of the playoffs. If they play
anything close to what they had against Aurora, they will win
this. The thing is
though, it's a bit of a different
beast when you've got the pressure on your shoulders, you know, the qualification
matchup he had to get to Pro League
the favorites as well, that heavy tag has certainly
been weighing on them
so I don't know man
they just didn't really convince me in that previous map.
Even on Mirage they looked very sketchy.
I'd imagine there's a lot of stress in that camp right now whereas for Sinners
They're definitely in a better mental state compared to their opponents coming into this game, and that could make a big
difference. I want
to pick Sinners first. Yeah? Yeah, I want to pick Sinners
to win it from here just based on what I saw on the map before
and the momentum behind them.
Yeah, I mean... there we go
predictions been
changed
shallot of
production
there you
go
it's um
it can
sometimes be
fool's gold
to look just
inside a one
series
i've done
it enough
times and got it wrong.
I'm a hopeful fool, man!
What can I say?
There's definitely a lot of worlds where this
is already 2-0 for Sinners.
Mirage was so much closer than I
expected, it was a much more
scrappy game from the side of
Sango than I expected
It was really only an overtime that looked like
the clean team we had anticipated coming into this series and playoffs as a whole.
Yeah, only one way to find out really. It's going to be Nuke between these teams because they both love a CT start,
given the earnest at this point.
And hopefully we are underway soon.
Yeah I will say my one real concern for Sangle going into
this third map is their lack of experience.
Sure, Coach Yumpy you know he's been in this position a million times before so
he'll definitely be the player or the coach I suppose who has to keep everybody level
headed and make sure that they aren't getting ahead of themselves
That the nerves are kept in check as well because you think on the opposite side of the server
I'll tell you right now Oscar and B stick. This is their hunting ground
Like this is where we could see them do
their best work.
Yeah, absolutely.
We didn't see it
though, did we? Against Moritz Okoye.
It was a little bit concerning on Oscar as well. well push the envelope too much. I don't want to see that again
Let's play safe
Safe, but at least an efficient way of play take calculator brisks and get up in the face
Unfortunately though we have heard game is a little bit delayed so we'll take a pause
hopefully not too long when we're back we decide who's going to pro league
we'll see you then so so so so so so so so so so so so Thank you.. so Thank you. so so so so so so so so
one map to go it's nuke
1t One map to go... is Nuke. One team
is going to be very happy then if it's the other
Unfortunately there are no exit interviews because they will not
be pleased
one map to go before we find out who our second finalist is
a second attendee via this route into pro league
what's their chance of a hundred thousand dollars in the grand
final
24 rounds i'd argue that the prospect of qualifying for pro league
matters more than money is there an even argument Is there an argument there?
Probably not, that's a cold take,
that makes sense.
It is just a fact.
I mean, you can make
a case that for an unorth team maybe it matters more but
the way it sets up your season the way it spirits you towards valve ranking
points do not underestimate this.
It matters for these teams, it matters frankly for their careers and the stability of their organisations.
And is that a miss smoke to kick us off on Nuke?
Here we go!
Nuke is live, Linus on the angle and he'll be spotted first.
Force backwards so you actually can't do anything if the player's crossing into secret
Three have successfully made their way down, including the bomb carrier.
I'm not entirely convinced that Sinners are going to end the round on the B-bomb site though.
They'll know they forced a rotation but it's actually only xflout. Nevermind, samey is joining
up with him as well. There's utility
here on B stick Mike he's playing the lurker role
in towards A bombsite he goes there's no
resistance at all. Youngster's
heaven and he might be inclined to eventually peek out
to try and clear mini but Mikey's gonna be a lot
further forward here than he will expect
it's a bit of an awkward
situation so they find themselves in there now
have to try and make their way up, then to get into the same bomb site youngster
tapping away wall fall foul to mikey jota wins you're gone holy he is warm he is warm and finally that's beautiful display guys I'm going to start developing sight on the remaining two guys.
What a hard place, surely this is impossible.
Aikido backs itself up against any force fights.
Peppers helps save me a little bit more, but...
It's awkward!
Pissed around for Sango.
Felt like one of those situations
where he hopes and prays
he's going to be able
to get across
to deny the defuse,
but unfortunately
it's not one
of those situations
where if I don't look
at Linus
I can't see him. He can't
see me. It's an easy kill for
Linus on the cross there to defend
Sami on the defuse and it will be
Sangel who opened up their account first here
on Nuke to try and put behind them what happened on the map preceding
this dust who was a disaster class for san go but they're going to fall in fact on the
exhibition it's gonna be a forced fire here from the cylinders, off the back of the plant.
There's a few little scouts in a Tech-9
Lights are neutral but plenty firepower
Pretty scared of a vent dive. We know it's not the case.
Must have been the util out as soon as to fright that this round takes a pause now they're starting
to be clear there's obviously no hope for their CT side so safer for the T's.
The rifles, util now.
So I've gone to mini.
I'm going into lockers.
Save me those guys have an angle around this red crates Mikey gone
they'll be immediately available for trade B stick finds it though swings up so many fights here on our side to now
so many fights here on outer hp is ever so low shot in from behind
flanks on flanks here, endless action. Youngster now gets engaged.
What is happening in this round?
And the chips just about fall away as Sang now.
My goodness there's only one player alive at the end of the round.
It's Youngster and there are nine bodies towards outside.
I mean, Sango threw everything at outside to try and contain Sinners
And Sinners do a really good job at just dealing with
Everything that comes their way, but eventually they do falters as the one versus two.
Youngster's brave there to also force the issue the way he does and that last headshot to finish off the round was a very keen kill out of Youngster as well.
Sinners would have been licking their lips at one point there, but unfortunately it now
reduced to eco Thank god they didn't need a clean round, so bad. Can't afford to waste any more energy on this one.
This city is just biding their time. I think that'sar will burn some more of the nades.
Yeah.
I feel like starting on the T side of nuke and a decider, especially for a game as important as this
is very difficult.
I mean it's not as bad as it used to be where teams would say yeah if you start on
the T side and then decide on Nuke you basically...
You win or lose the map in the knife round is what it used to be.
But it's not as bad as that.
There's still just so much pressure on the T side starting off here though.
You know, Sinners can't afford for this to drop like 5-0, 6-0 before they start to show us what they're capable of.
That's one! I'm going to have to ask Joe to clean up the shop. Alrighty. So, three for Seingal but they do keep the round reasonably clean.
Who's up next? I don't think there is going to be an orb.
I guess Josuke dropped one? Okay he has. don't think there's gonna be an awp i guess jose could drop one
okay he has yes yeah without the same racked up some extra kills with that mp9
plenty money and the awful feature it's not a bonus round for the CT side, though.
I mean, they get $1400 if
they lose this. I guess a couple players can buy it
would be an investment for sure, but it wouldn't
be a full buy, so Slyndon have a chance
to get me some more get this wall road.
And it looks like its gonna be a default lean towards outside
In fact all five banks are not that bad for sinners
Nevermind, minimap betrayed me
And shock makes great of his position.
Lobby's been cleared. Not gonna matter though, Shock finds another.
He does get traded but that's crucial information for this team side.
Oscar remains on silo and you can see now these players lower speeding up just need to navigate it's
a WP with the futile
no connection youngster is on location
spotted
a little bit hairy but it doesn't matter round for sinners
and surely that economic damage from earlier on is going to stop paying dividends.
Yeah exactly as I'd mentioned, Sangoel's gonna have to piece together pots and pans coming into this next round
And Sinners will capitalize.
Really like the approach in that
round as well, giving it gas, not playing
slow, tentative counter-strike.
Making a statement.
Runster does try but he was never going to get more than a kill from that position.
Trade was always available.
Both teams now on the board here in the decider.
Remember, this is just joining us, the winner of this map qualifies for ESL Pro League Season 20
What a massive opportunity for ESL Pro League
And it is gonna be shot at perfect timing
Goodbye Linus!
Good luck!
Squeaky is at home.
A real adjustment from Sango, they're discontent to sit back for now.
Yet-to-th throw cross smokes are sinners so nobody's hang on the other side got X file in secret as an early warning system take the kill and just get out of there man advantage and a bit
of info for his teammates too. They shouldn't be blindsided by money
Absolutely not right? I mean he knows you would have forced sinners
Amy on your fangle catches shock as well
So even though soon has found the opening
pick in the round it turns out that's the only
kill in the round. I think that Oscar is going to have
to bunker down a call of the day
and drop a Galil in the next round.
A couple counts of round loss bonus still behind them. Looks like he's
feeling this one out though, I don't think it's worth it honestly I just think saving
the Eupyr is the best option. I mean there's no way right with 18 seconds
gonna hear the player jumping up, but the problem is he's still a player heaven as well
so even if he gets the frag on youngster
there's no way for him to get a plant!
Alright, well... Bit of extra damage inflicted but that was so risky. Yeah I'm not really sure maybe he is just so scared anyway if somebody coming in from behind? I'm not sure, maybe he was just so scared anyway of somebody coming in from behind.
I'm not sure.
Either way, Sangell survived the scare obviously.
We did lose LNB earlier here to play for Medeficit.
Xploud rightfully gets out of dodge.
That's an important round.
Their money was absolutely on the brink.
It would have been eco for sure
and now it's sinners we're asking questions of absolutely on the brink it would have been ecos for sure
and now it's sinners we're asking questions of they've chosen to force
plenty of utile but he played on tech nine so
not ideal so, well ideal.
Yeah these half-haphazard investments working out so far, back and forth.
He's going to spend all their
money. It's going to be Oscar with that orb.
He's the prime player here in the round.
Boosted up on top of Redbox. It's a great option
when you really need a kill as the AWPer, obviously
a very risky play but gives you a big field of vision in the meantime though pressure starts
to mount on this B bombsite side
given ramp on the two lower two outer for this hope they don't get caught in transition.
Fights back to occur, LNZ catches Oscar but numbers are evened...
He's evened it, had got to do a uh... Go-to.
Nothing doing!
And he's caught his pants down a little bit
Only finds the one
This is looking very good for Sinners
Oh it's done!
The round is over now.
I think Linus has to just call up because Youngster was not able to get down the vent
and these broken buys continue to find success.
Rounds continue
to be traded back and forth
There's gonna be Sinners who reduce the gap
to two, and again
we'll be playing against a pretty weak buy going
into the next so they can to do what they weren't able
to a couple rounds ago and that string consecutive rounds together completely break the finances
of Sango. okay
i think zango's to have to force.
Definitely have the loss bonus
to eco this.
Let's see...
If they can save
the guns, they could eco this.
But they're going for more aggressive approaches, I don't blame them.
Yeah.
Joke's just had to buy himself out of a body armour here
with dropping an M4
There's an eagle Wow. They've been on such a knife edge this entire half. It's just going to take one go for this initial happen and is what's on offer right now samey looking
lots of presents outside once again, Sinus have got some information
after the case they might try to get a move on here towards the safe bombsite. They've
thrown the wall of smokes outside to keep Sangel focused on that part of the map but
I don't think Sangel are gonna take the bait ya!
Oh, that's a massive kill.
Huge kill coming through from Youngster now it's a two man advantage
Are we just going to continue the broken buy winning round here?
The half-buy? the force was in full effect
somebody's gonna win in the end I think it might be sang gal consider a say you'll put their money out of balance I think you do say right because
Morisco and Mikey can buy sure shock will be on the tech nine but I think is
a better option than
yeah exactly they will indeed save
indeed ran from x, more of that please.
Yeah I like the approach there from Sangel taking initiative
Taking the fight to sinners who have been going outside a lot
They find that kill which heavily negates the fake from Sinners
because after the kill comes through our side
Sinners still stick to their original plan
which is to try and fake there. Throw the wall
of smokes outside and hope that Sangle
focuses there but because Sangle have killed that early player outside
and is no more pressure they aren't really too worried about outside I feel like Sinner's had to
probably cancel the original plan and then try to change it up afterwards?
Potentially, I think losing the player was a deal breaker really wasn't it?
It was untenable by now. They weren't in a good position by then anyway
Feels like Sinner should have paused here.
The gravity of these rounds is just so enormous.
Right...
5 for 2, sank out.
What?
SaneMario is going to play in towards main, nobody protecting them though.
Bursting the smoke! Nobody's protecting though.
Bursting the smoke, earns his own demise man of anti-sinners!
We haven't had two consecutive rounds yet... One yet outside of the pistol and conversion.
It has been
a back-and-forth affair since then
And it may continue in that fashion here
as well
And sinners have all the time in the world. Full control of outside as well means they've got plenty options available to them.
Problem is utility, but...
I mean it's not like that impossible.
And Oscar- oh he's Mr. Tee Shot there!
V-Stick won't vote. So, what happened here is to...
It's not meant to be for the Sango though.
Which is a sit aren't they?
Let Sango make the next move.
They're playing ever so static for a team that is in huge deficit, at least stack three on the same side of the map.
They are relying on a HUGE individual outplay I think... salvage this one all of a sudden drink He's gonna be in a situation here as well.
He'll trade Youngster out, all of the sudden
Blink and it's 2 vs 2
Zayn is going to try make his way up the vent
I don't think this is going to be considered by Sinners
And Oscar has actually left by himself
Now because B-Stick is trying to wrap around outside, it means Oscar has no support.
He goes down to Sami.
That's round over.
Sinners have faltered in a massive way.
And what I was going to say is that Sangango still have plenty info because Saimi is still secret
They know that sinners haven't pushed into the bombsite
That's what allows for Sangal to stay with two players towards top side of the map and it works out perfectly. I can't
believe it, i can't believe it
you can't lose many of those rounds if your Sin is... You just can't lose many of those rounds if your sin is
you just can't here's their second pause and what do you discuss
oh this one's got to be an eco surely it's going to be seven for sangal
unless beastie does something incredible
sanger has had to play from so many deficits i mean we saw it on mirage um obviously dust too they couldn't recover them
i guess as a map there's not comfortable enough. They don't know the avenues, but here
It's a little bit of a different story
Imagine they could just find an opening kill that goes untraded.
If they're constantly able to win from these disadvantageous situations, what would it
look like with an advantageous situation behind them? you know
okay ramp I think he's got a muskrat ramp.
AWP'er up against him, samey on top of the box
I guess if they double peek him or someone takes the attention to the top
of the screen
could be
nobody connects and shopper save me Haha, but he connects!
Headshot for Sami.
We're on location now...
And uh...
The front just taken out of this hit from the T side.
You know, Alan there's actually a world in which sinners
go on to lose the map off the back of dropping that round
where they've got everything going their way
because that was the round to break Sengal's 5-4 line.
They could really start to make some headway on their T side
but now it should be a 7-2 scoreline
assuming that they don't win the 3v5
and they're not in an awful position right now.
Problem is there's no smoke to guarantee
the bomb plant and the longer
they take it,
the further that Sango will get
on these rotations.
People will now be activated
this is looking a little bit
nervy for my liking.
Surely this is on Oscar?
They need an avenue to fight an afterbarn...
...Econ, maybe that's an opportunity but corp didn't hammer in the anvil
this is too much for us already coming through three alive as well for Sangal seven to two they're close to
booking their flights yeah they are they are. That's why I say
Sinners losing that round
a couple rounds back where they had a
5 versus 3 could cost them everything.
That was
the round to really break Sango and then pull ahead for Sinners or at least close
the gap in a significant way. Now they're down by five, and if they lose this gun round I
really hear the worst for them. Travel agent could be called on the line.
Running out of time, sinners!
Running out of time. give us a compelling tea side what do you got left in the locker anymore set plays any more genius moves even now
cross smokes are down risk goes into the making a win in a split.
And Morisco finds The Opener lurking through that smoke...
...redirects himself towards Alta and meanwhile his teammates springing forth
popping through
Squeaky
finding so many
frags
this is a good
response
he's back on the
board
brilliant round
coming through
from Sinners.
Morisco, the one to open up.
I thought he might have got slightly ahead of his teammates
by peeking when he does but
he takes down the player on top of Hut
and then from there he just pulls out entirely.
Excuse me. He doesn't keep trying to push forward
and force the issue
And then it would have almost certainly been traded right?
He knows that CTs that are still on A bombsite
Are gonna be looking for the trade
And thats where he allows his teammates To come into the fray that are still on the A bombsite are going to be looking for the trade. And,
that's where he allows
his teammates
to just come into the fray
and they do a great job
entering into that A bombsite
saying he
fights him
to keep his AWP in play.
He is going to have
to reposition here
not going to survive
directly underneath that a bomb site further
away enough now seven three sinners keep themselves alive big opener by marisco too he was
is that great series.
He was actually really good on Mirage despite the loss
That was impressive
Where that came from? Please.
Money still in reserve...
At least there was coming into this round, now it's burdens for Seindl.
So opportunities, as soon as we can form that round. but the same gal.
So opportunities,
seems to be able to form that round.
Let's go to have a map on B site.
K-SOP up!
LNZ connects.
First kill found. damage onto number 2.
Oskar in the meanwhile has found a pick though...
Bomb is lower?
It's not gonna matter though, he lost all his teammates.
Oh I can't believe that Linus has killed Mikey!
I thought Linus was dead for all money
I mean Morisco will certainly get a bomb punch here but
outside of that nothing is possible.
Nothing
is possible
outside of that careful
Marisco. One versus three
looking to just try and get himself up on top
of the catwalk, it's a good position to catch
one player walk but how do you avoid
the trade from here is the question
while Sami in midair will be able to find
that all important kill as Sangel go up to 8.
Damage is damage!
Bonfuan
will bring a buy into the realms
and I think they'll go for it because if they win
in the following round...
Oh yeah, that's the last of the half. It doesn't matter.
There is no breaking the economy.
They will have to buy, of course being round number 12.
Ignore me.
It's been a long series.
Four is doable.
It's more of a fashion.
Of course, the early half was a lot of economic dueling
nobody can establish money
but
I've liked what I've seen from
Sango since they had four weapons in full days it was stable to me
right into now from head to cloud straight into
secrets and also he's a lucky boy to be alive isn't he
yeah certainly so.
One of the more passive starts to the rounds coming through from Sin is normally they've got something going on
whether it's outside or pressure in squeaky doors
There will eventually be pressure outside It looks like this is what they tried to do a few rounds ago when Morisco died, but this time he's keeping himself alive and it will take Linus down.
He even spends the second! Mor he will take Linus down.
He even spends a second.
Marisa is the king of the entries at this point.
Sami can't find a trade either.
He's missed his opportunity and Thor is looking locked in here for sinners.
Too much to do? too much to do jota goes by the wayside a strong
round to end it for sinners as they crawl and heave their way up to four rounds on the tee side.
Will that be enough?
One half stands between one of these teams and Pro League.
Do not miss it so so so so..
.
.
.
.
... so so so so so so so Thank you. one successful half is what stands between these two teams and a spot of
ESL Pro League Season 20.
Will it be Sengal? Will it be Sinners?
We will find out after this half, or perhaps maybe not
might need some overtime
we'll find out soon enough
My name's Hayes joined by the wonderful Alan
And we're going to be getting into
the second half of a big pistol round here
for sinners to set their harp in motion
the way they would like
Buckle up
It's gonna be our turn for Buckle up.
It's gonna be out of a sangal Attention is powerful as they're really taking their time
no noise cues given all five crossing
and head spotted so a little bit of information for the CT side
but now though it is just shock
no other rotations.
They're quite convinced
that numbers are not down secret at the moment I think Shock's in trouble.
Oh, he's in big trouble! I mean a kill sure but how does he get more than that is the question
When they open up the decon door he's gonna become completely exposed
He doesn't even know which direction he needs to look right now
And there are five players that are about to go
towards the bombsite utility reigning in okay there's two kills from shock now we
can reposition the third as well it's a master class from shotgun the defense
all by himself he gets four kills.
What on earth was that?
How a shock!
How has he done that? He's left out to dry!
It shouldn't be possible.
Absolutely annihilates the players in from Decon.
That is... that is
the play of this season
I'm not even here for a conversation
on the map
you have to start it well and you find four kills in an
insurmountable position
That is star power
It was so intense that Saimi couldn't even handle it, he had to check out
Sango had everything going their way in that pistol round
They were perfectly set up to get that V-bomb site,
even if they just trade him out
after he gets those first two kills.
But Shock just absolutely goes above and beyond.
My god,
if that doesn't spurs them as long if that doesn't motivate them, nothing will.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. unbelievable
i'm struggling to compose myself after seeing that
it should have been one for one, bomb goes down.
I think they'll probably win the round because they're good after plants.
That was the flowchart we were all working towards.
Instead though...
There's not even a bomb plant.
There's going to have to be an eco this round
to come from Sango.
You've seen us win this series, man, they did it the hard way. They really did put it on hard mode for themselves but they wouldn't care how
they get there if they get across the finish line, they would be elated.
Remember, Suna started in the upper bracket here
In the playoffs to try and qualify for Pro League
Because of their good run on the group stage
They topped their groups
They got their berth into the upper bracket semi-final. They won that game and then they lost in the
upper brackets final to Koi, dropped down to the lower bracket.
Sango on the other hand, they started off their journey in the lower bracket.
They came into this with one life
they still have that one life after besting nine pandas aurora
3d max very big sculpts but they might fall prey to sinners here in the game that matters the most.
Something going here? Easy play, five alive.
Cashing reserve now for Sinners.
We get onto the guns
thank god to keep a calm head yeah they do lu so the jumping needs to come in.
They surely had a game plan and obviously would be prepping for these games. We heard yesterday from XFiles that they put pressure on themselves to prepare for these games at the time of slides they're
not playing any other events in the moment and obviously the gravity of a map this deep they're going to tournament itself
they should be full focused they should have a game plan for this t-side and they need to stick to that so they can't
they can't let what shock just did lay in their minds yeah that has to be left
in the past where it belongs focus up on this all-important gun round
AKs and utility is what they have at their disposal compared to sinners.
There's still a couple SMGs in play from that previous round, so...
Bit of a firepower advantage up the sand gulf. oh
they're doing damage but no frags found a trio of headshots from these ak-47's net sangal a monstrous advantage
mikey's on his teammates slip down to the lower bomb site.
That missed around was insurmountable I don't know what this is otherworldly it's not gonna happen.
Sango are cruising their way to 9 and keep the player alive.
Yeah, that's going to be such a big boost to their economy as you mentioned
A lot of damage done here by Sinners but none
of it fatal.
And the ninth round about to be picked up
here by the T side that would
certainly assist in putting behind them what happened
in the pistol round.
It's always really important, it's a very important quality of a team to be able not let things fester,
not let them linger
and it seems like Sango have done exactly that. Focusing on the Nao. Brilliant kills,
very good assistance there, teamwork to enable the kills that they get as well always jumping in on the gunfights at their teammates taking
Explosion everybody will stay alive and I'm a bit nervy for Sinners.
I mean they will have the full buy here, shock and drop an M4 to Morisco, they'll
have all the weapons they could ask for but if they lose the same time not allen it's almost certainly game
over for some reason it should be 11 percent go and then one gun we've gone around with
stand between them
I'm going to have to parry
That's the Oscar, far from having an orb
10 minutes into the play Oscar, far from having an AWP. He's gonna play with that gun.
Number 5, he goes down towards lower...
Yeah.
It still kinda sucks though to have an auto shotty in such an important round,
way less than ideal but we know how strong that shotgun is and he's put himself in a good position to take
advantage of it. The way Sango calling this round, it's like they know there's
no warp in play so it's a good read
and walking into the mists of bit of across by here there's so many players
around here for spin is their let a and raffle the exposure in favor of fighting browser
needless to say that work and it is two kills already.
Maybe Sango can get it, get some aim control but...
This would be a huge blunder for Sinister to lose this round.
Not another 5v3 they cannot afford. Stag bent his position. this round. towards the back of the bombsite right now and xflab will catch a glimpse and he'll take her life. 30 seconds now, Shocker's trying to make his way
through but he could be the king man here, he will take down the bomb planter
not gonna force the issue straight off
oscar's he gone the whole way around he has
yata contact shock in the back line it's not a clean duel but it will go
yachts this way now oscar has to retake yes two
versus two clutch with an auto shotty.
This is not a position I'd wish on anybody,
but he has to try and make it work.
Unfortunately,
it won't.
Yotta takes him down and Sango get themselves up to double digits.
If Sinners lose this series, they have no excuses. They had their chances.
They're plenty around so they were at an advantage and could not convert convert and that was yet again another
that might be one blow too many they don't have the money to really buy
anything practically a fully co-host of about deagle on shock That's all they can muster here, they're looking towards rifles in the following.
Sango!
What an awesome opportunity to creep up
to 11.
It's like
Destiny, I mean this number of
rounds they're losing opening kills
and they just find a way i know
i mean that is crazy right just the consistency with which they're able to
recover these situations is remarkable man
shock was any emulators heroics from the pistol round? Absolutely not.
On the flip side though, you know we're singing Sangal's praises for recovering those rounds in which things just haven't started off the way they would like.
What about Sinners losing those rounds consistently man? Like where they get these advantages and never get them them around across the line,
or not nearly as quickly as they should...
That's what they'll think about
if they do go on to lose this.
True.
We have seen from Zango earlier in the play-offs that they are quite good at staying calm even when they lose early numbers.
They don't just launch men by the wayside. So, there is an element of punishing
collecting these opportunities when they get presented
to a bit of both I guess
And i'd say surprisingly calm for Sango When you look at these names it's not like their
experience is not like they've racked up any big titles or played at any f-tier events
but i kind of just feel like you gotta credit Yumpy for that.
I don't know where else...
Linus is actually a very composed IDL as well,
he doesn't seem like a guy who gets too flustered
always very good at holding his nerve despite
that he is young.
He's actually gotten quite a bit of experience, not a huge amount but you know
he stood in for that main NIP team I can't remember what event
he played at but...
Played a few!
Yeah he played abscesses. He played a few! Yeah, he played a couple
was alongside device for an event I think as well so
he's rubbed shoulders with some big players in his short career
maybe shorts not fair?
I think ZTR played him first
and then at the end of 2020.
Uhhh... What?
It all just goes together, but this is the round Alan!
This is the round for Sinners that they have to win!
There's no conversation to be had and Oscar has has his gun! His gun! The AWP! And
he's been able to find yet another opening kill but Sinnerz you cannot spill this round.
I will say in the series between Sango and Aurora. There was
Map 2, and Sango getting close
to winning series.
I could
see they were getting flustered.
We heard X-Flowed in the interview afterwards he was
literally jacked on adrenaline i could tell you just hear him
you know teeth chattering away and all that
such an edge so this team does have
that element to them where you can get a little bit
frisky just with the weight of the situation
Beastie goes in... alone, then kill him! He's the B-stick though is a load.
They kill him!
He's the sole A defender.
Mikey now called upon, scrambling.
Now some sort of defense play zooming down the vent to Oscar with the AWP.
It would have been better off going A, they didn't know it.
Find Oscar major and recruit him if you're Bobbant.
Surely not free for youngster! No, no! these rounds. Surely not another kill. Morisco goes over to get
double peeked. There we go! LNZ
collects another
Mikey1980
Makes it a one-on-one.
And now the pressure ramps.
It's a good plan for Deacon, there is no shit,
No smoke, surely no chance!
And Mikey saves his team.
That's a round for the ages.
No kit, no smoke, no problem for Mikey.
Oh as that Decon door opens he just blasts the
head off and Sinus will breathe a massive sigh of relief
as Mikey, the least experienced
player by a country mile
on this Sinus roster is
going to stand tall once again. A brilliant
round coming through from him, he saved Sinner's
blushes. I mean it looked like
Sangal had just done it right, probably in the
two versus one they even thought they had the job
done
but alas it's not the case. Deprived of
getting themselves to Mappan Sirui's point. Oh, that adrenaline wasn't spiked before it is now. Still by the business end of a big game.
I think I can taste it, they're so close and then all the hard work...
Once a disaster for Sin sinners win one round and I'll have a buy that has
the eyes to look out. Sinners have nobody on the lower half of the map.
You can hear them alllly now, it's double doors.
If someone needs to get a move on.
And there is Lyman open and kill found he spots out another but that's not going
to be able to change the way
the gunfight goes. Marisco gets that trade
and it's all on shock. This is his hunting ground though
that he spurred
on from what he was able to get done in that pistol round
He's got support here from Oscar as well who's gonna probably try to get done in that pistol round. He's got support here from Oscar as well, who is going
probably try and get ahead of the smoke grenade
Oh Jota nice! Jota spots the gun barrel
4 by Teevo
Otherwise just doesn't notice it there will be a trade
from Youngstanch. Oscar can't do much about it
He's been dropped out of the bomb site by the utils
There should be a plant at the bare minimum here and it's gonna have to be a retake for sinners to keep themselves in
its I've seen too many to cow Sankal out, still though they need
to win the first point of contact
but three was gonna be too much sinners stay alive eight for them
can't believe this is still a game oh man, man! It gets so close
as well. Great effort from Youngster in the one
versus three. Gets two quick kills but they get
traded out because he comes through in time.
Zanguil do their best work
when they have the least at their disposal.
But, they will have to now...
Oh! Never mind. With the bomb plant there's more than enough
money here for them to buy a couple with that round loss bonus.
I'm glad we got a pause here man.
I just need a pause to catch my breath
because these rounds
consistently are going down to the wire
11-8, Senna's
continue to claw their way back on this T side
3 rounds of difference there's not much
in this now and they've whittled down the economy
this is tense stuff.
Morisco as well!
How's it Morisco championing them?
I mean he has been ridiculously good throughout the series, and I'm relatively speaking.
Saw him against Quake, and he looked awful in all honesty.
Felt like the pressure got to him. Not here in this series though
He's been able to right his wrongs and
had so much impact on his man at the most but it looks like that was a player's
case there. Util A early they've traded Oscar out as well that's a good kill
They might have to cancel their initial approach here, but getting that frag on Oscar gives them a lot of room to work with here on the map
Gotta respect that smoke
And they still have three themselves so they can still do a set of out-across smokes and be A-OK.
Let's see where we're going to loop...
Nobody immediately on location.
My risk goes in towards main this round.
We smoke onto squeaky so he can focus outer heavily if he chooses to but instead diverse himself to the site
i can commit to playing around these ac generators there's another one on the
side oh cheeky off angle. Save me down.
Second player tagged.
The fight is doing a lot of work here.
Maybe should just accept the advantage
and stop taking fights.
He's not that sort of player, clearly.
Oh, X-Floud!
He is him! No! X-Floud IS HIM! Double kill on the entry!
Mikey looking to be the difference maker once again but it's just gonna be damage and Shock has to call it a day.
Has to accept his fate and save the M4 there is no money Sinners are broke and Sango will get themselves to map in series points against
all odds again.
That's your career player to watch.
That is...
I need the stats man, I'm actually going to have a look at the opening kills on this third map
Because I can't believe it's favored first
You might get a little bit sick.
It might make you feel nauseous, man.
So of the few rounds ago it was 11-7 opening kills towards Sinners.
It's probably more so sinners now
again i'm going to say it again if sinners Sinners lose this series and it looks like at the moment...
I'm not hearing any excuses. They've had so many
chances. It's been Sango that have had
to cheek themselves out of holes again
and again obviously in this map it is youngster normally the
barely will look at him as the individual to take over an entire map
biggest math he's ever played in his career
that's it the fairy tale run baby sango are on the brink, they're playing against Pistols and Air coming M4
But Oscar is alive he's kicking and he's fragging
Another opening kill add another one to the tally there Alan.
They think it was no ultimate eh?
Maybe but this time there's no more lives.
Dare I say easy?
Oh scary... Three peeks! easy three peaks oh he's playing a dangerous game
dangerous game but oscar connects beasted party this one we're not good by the way so being at the same time for Mikey they They are not far off double eco territory.
Yeah, you're right they only get $1900 if they lose this next round so they might force here and then save if they lose it
And then we're playing one round between overtime and bust
I just can't believe it. I mean sinners were able to fall over time on mirage when they
Were losing 12-9.
Can they do it here again?
Oscar, the player to open up that round
having the impact his team so desperately needs out of him
What are you calling here, Alan, in this timeout?
Are you calling for the force?
There's a case to force.
And there will.
The alternative is one eco, AK Galil buy then a force after if you lose it.
They've gone for the tactic of force now give Give it your best shot.
It doesn't work on Eco 1
and we'll play in round
24
to try and finish the job.
This is going the distance.
Sinner's been a myriad of mistakes
to get us to this point.
Perhaps it should have been
a 2-0,
but this is where we are.
Morisco
has not been denied often on this game of nuke he opens up the scorecard
as sinners strive for overtime.
And it looks like they should be able to make it happen as well, sure Oscar goes down so there's an AWP recoverable
to the CT side but there's already Majki
or Mikey rather who is in towards control room
in a great position, they may not
clear this the entire way through because of how early
it is in the round here, Sami he's the one
who walks forward straight into the jaws
of death but Mikey wants more, not just
1 there's nothing more on offer though but he's looking to
rise up and he will indeed find a second
it is the multi-kill coming through
Mikey that's what he was hunting for
and Sango well this is going to have
to go the distance there's no way Yachtz is going to be able
to touch this. The bomb is in
the grips of CT side right now
1 vs 3
Sinners are doing it
At least they're fighting. I'm not saying it's definitely OT, but they're showing so much grit right now
Don't even criticize me about I mean the number of rounds we've opened up well
I I'm not trying, it's just having the discipline and killer instinct to get these done. Hasn't always been the case but that was the big hurdle.
Now is going to be surely almost a full eco
is that moment from mikey great poise great discipline I can't believe we're going to distance.
I think Zygo's used this, they've digitally discussed it and gone around.
Yeah, that's exactly what they are doing.
It's exactly what they're doing.
Adam have you considered coaching before man?
Um... no
I wouldn't be so
stupid Oh! I just-I mean listen So, so stupid.
I just...I mean listen, Sangel had a prime opportunity what was it? Round 21
where they were playing against an AWP M4 and pistols wasn't going to get easier than that for Sangel to finish off the job they weren't able to now they have to do it on hard
mode it's gonna be against a full buy in that
next round, they'll have a full buy of their own
no AWP in play, that's for
sure, it's going to be rifles across the board
It's been a series though
doing it the hard way
That's true, I'm just wondering It's been a series though of doing it the hard way.
That's true. I'm just wondering what is Lance going to cook up? In their series against Aurora, it was like this...
...it was opening kills or whatever
opening engagements in sangal's favor worse even
it wasn't like this when we played for so many deficit rounds
okay we've had our breather this is what
we're here for this is counter strike round 24 last regulation
and then it's time about a minutes time, Sanger will be in pro league.
The Sinners would have done the impossible and got this to overtime.
That's exactly it, overtime or basketball for Sinners!
Can they take it all away? They've done so well to at least keep themselves in it.
They were down 12-8, they have won 3 in a row since then.
What does Linus call him now? The young IGL!
To try and get his team across the line but xflown is dead where's he died
in lobby that's a shot through the squeaky door coming through from oscar
they still don't say bomb sites everything And he's still on the safe bombsite.
They had out of smokes, they wanted to go into Hutts I believe and Oscar...
I don't know if he bursted the smoke but what a big kill huge kill and he's been great in the last few rounds
Sango rediverts they don't have the utility to go out or anymore
you've got a brute force ramp But they don't have the util to go out or anymore.
They've got a brew force ramp and shock plays an off angle
Mikey's called over he's in towards hell oscar drops down lower
but if the desire was split up and isolate these cc players it has kind of worked
a is much lesser defended
than it was 15 seconds ago.
Yeah, definitely forced some
re-rotations here coming through from the CT side
and Sangel going to look to try get themselves in towards
A. They've just posted Junkster up ramp
to make sure that Sinners can't retake,
and out of the squeaky door they go
into towards this A bombsite.
It was a couple seconds ago.
B-Stick will fall.
Four versus four.
Morisco responds.
He's been fantastic. Can he find the multi molly will this
place and just get put forward oh my god wait what youngster doesn't happen he doesn't have to
get so aggressive but he does and he dies bomb plan planck gonna come through 2 vs 4
there's no way that team Zeus, surely not
as only yotta left remaining will take the head
off of the first but he has got no room to play with
He doesn't have a life and sinners
have done it they forced us into overtime
had to be he just had to be
same story on mirage same story on Mirage sinners should have been dead
and they go down to overtime of course I couldn't convert but they gave us one
hell of a show neither team willing to relent.
Oh, Sangan have tasted it man.
They've been so close!
And now they gotta got to go again,
they're going to regroup,
rearm.
Overtime required.
First and 16.
Who wants him more well normally the rule is nothing so far
here on this map in the series at large,
So let's just throw the book out the window altogether.
No all-purchase chairs for Tenny on the T side.
He isn't going to factor at all in Sandell's
because he'llals off.
Oscar on the other hand has been mega 20 kills to his name, 21
from Morisco in the game
of his life, most important game of his life
he's having a great day here
but unfortunately won't affect
the first round of overtime. B6 been traded
and Sango will be wondering why could we not
have done that in the half during regulation.
But, they can't order on that focusing up here they're going to take the lead in overtime
They are more comfortable on CT so even in a sense getting some early T rounds
in here could be of value. Disconnect for Jota unfortunately
A run overtime so not even that big a deal and
well I don't think it's possible but still made advances for the same girl really shock but it doesn't connect first strike for Sango and as you
mentioned For Sango and as you mentioned
Pressure off a little bit, and they're back in time
Honestly I was a little bit nervous for Sangel there after Yotta disconnected thinking that Sinister now they have a bit of chance to make the retake happen but thankfully for
Sangel still there around it was fully deserved as well playing
with a lot of confidence coming into overtime shock has gone to the double
wall this is certainly a change up we center so it's fair enough.
Oskar has normally been floating around the map and he was actually doing a really good job in regulation though, constantly finding himself in difficult reactions whether with outside ramps or squeaky doors but he was always where sango were looking to try
and apply pressure Maybe split each other yet though.
So now this one is starting to land.
First on for Mini
and then he's cut off the garage.
Hey, it disperses for a millisecond!
That was close.
X-Bug though does survive.
Double OOF That was close. X-Bot though does survive.
Double or third time we've seen it! That is a change up!
Dang, I didn't expect that!
Yeah, works exactly the way it was designed.
We know that Sinners have struggled in these rounds to get across the line.
Doesn't look like that's going to be the case this time round though.
X-Loud is low just clears out mikey and he's done the exact same thing as well he's looked around in his head and he's given sangle a fighting chance next cloud
is still wrapping around outside, that's a problem.
It's the two orbs as well in the retake. Normally you consider
a double orb setup a liability in the retake
I mean they will be in a position where they can trade for some guns
but the bomb plant is going to come through here from Yotta.
It's the two Turkish stars
to try and win the round for Sangel.
The bomb plant has gotten off the site as well!
Yotta repositions,
and he catches Oscar.
It's happening, Alan.
It is happening again. It's all, Alan! It is happening again!
It's all on Shox to try and deny Sangel
A 1v2, he's got a kit,
He's got a molly... But this AWP
Is not the weapon he'd love
To have in this situation And both of the Sango players
have now gotten a position to play off one another
He's being hunted down, xLavs got the kill
and Sanga won the round
This is destiny
What is happening? Sinners can't believe it
yet again
a near-instant the round gets turned back church is a monster 14 for
sangal 2t rounds collected they can make it the three-piece surely that's gonna be enough
we know economic woes like before in the regulations
Oscar That fight's gone on inside.
Not the first time he's done this. an opening kill. If Zangarp can convert so many deficits, surely they're nailed on to making 50.
Yep that's what logic dictates. Problem is nothing has made sense in the series so far.
So let's see if that will continue to be the case or Sangal can complete a flawless first half straight on the side.
Nade is out for smoke but it's worse for We're here for Sinners. They'll be regretting that decision
they get one kill but they lose two in
the process of four versus two
xLouds just charging it down through
Secret right now trying to pull the
rotations, trying to take the attention away from R attention away from ramp but Shock's not having
any of it. He still posted on the angle
and he has to get a multi! Needs at least
two first drafts found as they line up
Shock's been tagged, Jota finishes it off
And now its all on Mikey
Sammy needs his teammate, they're gonna redirect
Mike is ahead of the game though.
He slipped his way up.
Repositioned.
Look at this Jota is convinced that Mikey can't have repositioned this quickly.
Bomb gets tapped. Will they? position this quickly
bomb gets tapped will they consider hot it's been a bit of time now slight jiggle from samey ready 15 collected free shots of pro league and they're all
gonna be gun rounds you will not get a better chance than this Sango
we map and series points three opportunities for sangle to stamp their
ticket into ESL Pro League Season 20.
On the favoured side of the map, they went up 8-4 in regulation on their CT side
All signs point in the direction of Sangle getting the job done here and now
Can they
make it happen?
Sinners have fought so
hard to get this point that it might all be
for Nords outside of the prize money itself.
... of the prize money itself.
One mistake from Sinners, one misplay, one missed nade
and this is done
okay take a breath say me decides to pitch his tent this round in towards secret.
A is bolstered free in defence. Emerald. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Four frags from pro league.
Four kills away!
What do sinners do to try get themselves back into the round here?
They don't really have any obvious options available.
It looks like they're sticking to their original plan of trying to split their way in towards A.
Shock is low, but he still remains
Gonna require something magnificent Has actually been dated back to try and deal with the bed towards the container
And you will get the kill an X cloud
But there's a two-man set up behind the silo on the safe bomb site
They're trying to actually...
Oh, but they can go down the vent!
They're on top of the AWPer
Sami had his knife out
He's gone down
And Sinners
They've actually just been able to find a path onto this B bombsite
All of a sudden
I'd say they pulled
the trump card but the Trump card to win the round
Oscar he ate up the slave is late ramp needs his teammates to live though Mikey commits back sight and he gets spotted
first man falls
Now it's on the old guard
Keystick can't connect.
Oscar finds one, but with 12 HP, this is too much to ask.
Bombers getting diffused.
And there you have it.
Sango 16-12 they did it the hard way in this series
And they're going to pro league
Yeah that's absolutely an apt description
They've done it on hard mode It is so rough for Oscar coming through on that flank as well
The bomb bouncer behind Sylo means he can't do anything about it
And it will be Sangel who can beat the victory in no time.
As you say, they're going to Pro League.
What a massive run from them here in the lower bracket.
They started in the lower bracket.
They didn't have any lives
in the competition, but they didn't need
any lives! Taking massive
scalps along the line, along
the way beating the likes of
9pandas, Saw 3d max aurora and then eventually sinners as well
five consecutive best of three wins for them and they'll feature a pro league
this should have been the easy game
it should have been yeah you should be the one where
you're playing a team that's out of sorts
and you know maybe he goes three maps but you clean it up no no the two maps
they won were in overtime um there are many a worlds, many many
worlds where they lose Mirage it's 2-0 and we're saying Sin is with
a better team today but no wow Sangal they had to work so hard for that and especially after doing such good work
earlier on as well.
That was impressive let's reflect on our Kadia player to watch.
That was X-Flowed coming into this series.
Maybe not
quite topping the scoreboard like he did
in the
preceding game to this one when they beat
Aurora but
it's a critical
moments he had
big kills that
double
entry sticks
in my mind
where you just
shreds
all the individuals
showed up and
X-File was definitely one of them.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking about as well from X-Files
That double kill. Jota was massive though
If we're going to talk about the Turkish riflers
Jota was fantastic on that decider
He absolutely was the main piece Jota was fantastic on that decider.
I mean, he absolutely was the main piece of the engine,
the main cog in the setup that got them across the line
in terms of the firepower.
Got to commend Linus as well.
You know, as the IGL in such a big game, he did call a strong game, you know, as the IGL in such a big game. He
did call a strong game, you know, B-Stick on
the opposite side dropped off a lot on Nuke
Oscar pitched up. I mean listen
there's just so much to celebrate and highlight
in that game from Sango's perspective,
but for Sunnaz so much left to be desired.
Let's reflect on that bracket
and see how we end up here
and where are going tomorrow as mentioned
it has been a murder's row
Nine Pandas
Saw
3D Max
Aurora
some of the
strongest teams
in this tournament
the teams you would
have probably favoured
to battle for that
Pro League spot if not going to be Sangao claiming would have probably favored to battle for that pro league spot it's not gonna
be sangal claim its I'll tell you what brother the pro
league spots might be handed out but they've got one more scalp and
they're playing under
in my eyes
significantly less pressure
going into the final as well.
Sangal could do
the unbelievable.
If they can do this
from the lower bracket
they're a hell of a team.
Yeah, this is just such a big opportunity for them now right?
Like this was going to motivate them to another level
You think about the results they've gotten online
It's been great, the form that they have shown
But now we have a chance to see them step
it up to the next level. Play against some of
the best teams of the world
on LAN and
again, they're not going to have pressure because
no one is going to look at sango and say yeah we
expect them to do damage that pro league so they can't just come in there take advantage of the
situation get a lot of experience and continue to make the progress with this roster and when you
look at these names nobody would have thought them to be the team
to get through to Pro League here.
But they've done it.
And that's why we love Counter-Strike.
It is the esports of dreams, man.
And this run is just going to do a world
of good for the team. but let's also just talk about
the organization you know for sango they've chopped and changed a lot
you know between turkish rosters turkish cause an international team as well
this is such a good hallmark for their success,
bringing Jumpy in as the coach
this was what it was all about for them
And this is going to be a very big
success story for Sango
as an organization as well
certainly is the case commiserations to sinners
at the end of the day they did get two of these maps too over time they're a
team that's a little bit out of sorts in the moment
with all these player changes so
they gave us a good map, good couple maps today but unfortunately not
quite enough. It'll be Sango going over to pro league
and Sango in the grand final tomorrow against Movi
Star Koi either way that's going to wrap us up for the
consolidation finally said grand final tomorrow and a little bit of na later if you want to stick
around for that either way that wraps it up for us. Join us tomorrow
where we decide
who's the winner
of Challenger League 47
here in Europe.
We'll see you then.
We'll be right back. so so so so so so so. so.
.
.. so so so so so so so so so so so. so so I'm going to go ahead and do that.
